   Chapter 643 Coincidentally

  Lu Mingyu rarely showed a dumbfounded look.

  Lu Lin was amused by his daughter's appearance, and reached out and patted the back of Lu Mingyu's hand: "Is it a coincidence?"

   is more than just a coincidence, it is simply that the sky is going to kill Li Hao!

  Lu Lin led three thousand personal soldiers to the capital. Halfway through the official road, they encountered a group of Meng family troops.

   There were about 200 people in this group, galloping on their horses. You can't see the faces of everyone on the official road, but those with such momentum are definitely not ordinary people.

   Lu Lin waved his hand, causing people in the future to stop and surround him. Then he rushed forward, his eyes fell on the face of the young man in front.

   This young man, with long eyebrows, dark eyes, straight nose, handsome face, wears the clothes of ordinary guards, but his bearing is extraordinary.

   is actually the third prince Li Hao.

   Li Hao was also unlucky. He escaped from the ancestral mansion and immediately changed his clothes. Thinking about entering the Meng Family Army's barracks, you will be safe and sound. Unexpectedly, he met King Xingyang halfway along the way.

   It's only a few miles away, as long as you have a cup of tea, you should turn the fork in the direction of the Mengjia army camp. You will be able to pass by the Xingyang Army.

   It was just that inch, and I met Lu Lin and his party.

  The two hundred personal soldiers faced the three thousand Xingyang army, and they lost the courage to draw their swords.

   Li Hao is also considered a kind, surrounded by the Xingyang Legion, he is still calm, and he bowed his hands to Lu Lin: "It's a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet King Xingyang here."

The moment Lu Lin saw Li Hao, he had already guessed what the Duke of Guangping had done, and the corner of his mouth pulled a sarcastic arc: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince has been locked in the dungeon of the Zongren Mansion, why did he suddenly escape from the dungeon? Could it be that the Marquis of Guangping was distressed by his son-in-law, led troops into the ancestral mansion, and robbed His Highness to come out?"

  Li Hao hated so much that he was almost bleeding, but he didn't change his face and lost his demeanor: "Father-in-law loves son-in-law's heart, I think King Xingyang has the most profound experience."

  Lu Lin said indifferently: "It's a pity. Since I met you, I have to live up to the Marquis of Guangping once. Come on, please go to the Xingyang army camp with your Highness."

  Li Hao was startled, and looked at Lu Lin: "What do you mean?"

  What does it mean to send him to the Xingyang army barracks instead of sending him back to the capital?

   Could it be that he wanted to secretly poison him!

   Lu Lin could see what Li Hao was thinking, but without explaining it, he turned his head and ordered a thousand personal soldiers to "escort" Li Hao to the Xingyang army barracks.

   One of the soldiers of the Marquis of Guangping couldn't help but draw a knife and was stunned unceremoniously. The long knife fell to the ground with a bang, and the crisp sound made people tremble.

   The remaining personal soldiers loosened their grip on the hilt of the sword.

  There is no chance of winning against 200 people against 3000 people.

   Furthermore, King Xingyang would not have killed the third prince privately. That being the case, it's better to go to the Xingyang Barracks first.

  Li Hao looked gloomy and stared at Lu Lin fiercely: "King Xingyang is a great kind and great virtue, I, Li Hao, will keep it in my heart."

Lu Lin said with a smile: "I did this for the sake of His Highness's safety. It's too dark to run around outside. After entering the Xingyang Army's barracks, I make sure no one dares to rush in and hurt His Highness. Your Highness just feel at ease. go!"

  Li Hao: "..."

  Li Hao gritted his teeth and rode his horse. Under the "escort" of the Xingyang Army, he had to go to the Xingyang Barracks.

   "...I don't know what's going on in the capital, and I don't know when the Marquis of Guangping will lead the troops out of the city gate. If they meet, the two sides will fight, and it will be bad for Li Hao to escape while the chaos."

"So, I ordered Li Hao to be sent to the Xingyang army camp. As long as people enter my territory, no one can take it away. When the Marquis of Guangping returns to the army camp and knows that Li Hao is in my hands, it must be dawn. later on."

"I led 2,000 personal soldiers into the capital, and then went to the palace to face the Holy Spirit. I reported the matter to the emperor, and asked the emperor to apologize. The emperor knew that I had caught the third prince, and Long Xin was very relieved, and he didn't care about my unauthorized use of soldiers. It's a matter of fact. I also specially asked me to come to the East Palace to meet with you."

After listening, Lu Mingyu exhaled a long breath: "Last night, when the Marquis of Guangping entered the palace to plead guilty, I learned that Li Hao was rescued by him.

   "If I had known that Dad had robbed Li Hao halfway, I wouldn't have had trouble sleeping last night."

  Lu Lin's face moved slightly, and his eyes showed distress: "Did you sleep well last night?"

  There is nothing to be brave in front of my own father.

  Lu Mingyu nodded: "I didn't sleep well. The Marquis of Guangping is very ambitious, and Li Hao is not a good stubborn. The two of them, Weng and son-in-law, are in one place, and I don't know how many troubles will be caused."

   "My father does not want to see the turmoil in the capital, and neither do I. Otherwise, the Marquis of Guangping would have been left behind last night."

   A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Lin's eyes: "Don't worry. With me, the Marquis of Guangping will not be able to overcome the storm."

  Lu Mingyu sighed softly and said in a low voice, "The father and the emperor will keep the elder brother in the south of the Yangtze River and send the prince back to the capital. As a result, the Xingyang army's strength will only be half."

  How keen Lu Lin was, he immediately heard the meaning in Lu Mingyu's arms.

   He took a deep look at Lu Mingyu and whispered, "Are you worried that the emperor is suspicious of the Lu family?"

  Do you still have to worry?

   This is not obvious.

Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of sarcasm: "When I was fighting the world, my father led the army to fight and die for the great Wei. Now that the world has been decided, so many troops are in my father's hands, and my father has suffered a stroke and cannot move. Stay here. Then I think that my crown princess is also from the Lu family. She is born with amazing force and has a fierce temperament. There is no reason not to be wary. "

   Lu Lin's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "The emperor sits on the dragon chair, holding the imperial power in his hands, above ten thousand people. It is very cold at high places, and it is inevitable to be more suspicious."

   "You and I have a clear conscience."

   paused and then said: "The situation is unstable at the moment, and people's hearts are floating. If things go on like this, chaos will happen sooner or later. The emperor wants to announce the prince's return to Beijing, indeed for the sake of the stability of the court."

   "The military generals have their minds floating, do you think the civil servants can't? The first prince and the four princes also have their own powers. If the prince doesn't come back, I'm afraid they will give birth to the desire to hold the throne."

   "I know that you feel sorry for the prince, and I am also reluctant to let the prince suffer."

   "But as the Crown Prince of Wei, when it's time to take on a heavy responsibility, you can't step back. No matter how hard it is, you have to grit your teeth to support it. Only when he comes back can you truly stabilize people's hearts."

  If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight.

   How could Lu Mingyu not understand this truth?

  Lu Mingyu pursed the corners of his mouth and sighed after a long while: "Father is right."

Lu Lin comforted softly: "Don't worry too much. It will take several days for the imperial decree to reach the south of the Yangtze River. There is an imperial doctor by the prince's side, and he took the carriage back to Beijing all the way, and there was no serious problem. He was seriously injured back then, and he rushed back to the capital as well. , and then take care of it slowly."

   These words can only be listened to if they are comforted by their own father.

  Lu Mingyu nodded silently.
