Wandering Palace.

"Your Highness, I am scared..."

"What happened? If I have done something wrong, Your Highness, please make it clear..."

Xiao Huan shrank his neck, bowed his hands, and said tremblingly.

"Hongyuan just told me that there is news in Kyoto in the past two days, saying that Lu Wenbo was killed by me. Can you please tell me?"

Zhu Yunxi looked directly at Xiao Huan and asked lightly.

"what?!"

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have not heard of this..."

"Who is talking nonsense?!"

When Xiao Huan heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shook his head in defense.

"If I know what someone is talking about, what use do you have?!"

Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

"I made a mistake! Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will go and investigate right now! I will not let you offend lightly if you slander His Highness the Grand Sun like this!"

Xiao Huan's face turned pale and he said in fear.

"Why don't you go quickly?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Xiao Huan agreed, immediately stood up and left the Liuli Palace quickly, not daring to neglect for a moment.

"Your Highness, I have ordered Feihu and Rakshasa Hall to secretly investigate. However, the news came from the market. It may not be easy to find the source."

After Xiao Huan left, Hongyuan hesitated and said slowly.

"Do you still need to check? I don't need to guess who leaked the news."

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly and said lightly.

"Your Highness already knows who it is?!"

Hongyuan was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

"Lu Wenbo's son, who has been traveling around the world all year round, should have come back, right?"

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and asked lightly.

"I am about to report my humble position. Yes, Lu Tongzhou, Lu Wenbo's son, has returned to Kyoto recently."

"Your Highness is saying that the one who broke the news was the Liang Palace?!"

Hong Yuan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly answered with her hands raised, then her face changed slightly and she asked in surprise.

"Isn't this obvious?"

"It seems that my second brother, who drinks all day long, has been awakened and is about to fight back!"

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and said thoughtfully.

"That's right, according to reports from the informants, the Second Emperor's Grandson urgently summoned Huang Zicheng and Tong Wenjie, the Minister of Household Affairs, and others last night. It seems that he has not recovered from the fall!"

Hong Yuan bowed her hands and added hurriedly.

He was extremely shocked that Zhu Yunxi guessed everything based on a piece of news from the market.

"This is interesting. If he really fails to recover, wouldn't it be too boring?"

"What's more, with him here, those who covet the throne will not all target me!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said meaningfully.

"Your Highness, now that the Second Emperor's grandson has taken action, how should we respond next?"

Hongyuan hesitated and asked seriously.

"We must remain unchanged to cope with the ever-changing situation. Let Xiao Huan take the lead first, and we will wait and see what happens. I want to take my time and play with it."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said indifferently.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi who was so confident, Hongyuan nodded in agreement and said nothing more, but a trace of expectation gradually rose in her heart.

...

Lu family.

In the main hall, Lu Tongzhou sat on the main seat with a solemn expression, looking coldly at the crowds of Jianghu disciples sitting on both sides of the hall, without the slightest courtesy that his father had shown to these people in front of him.

Although he is also a member of the Jianghu, he has no good impressions of these Jianghu people who left each other as soon as his father died.

If it weren't for the purpose of avenging his father, he would not have regrouped these people. After all, it is not easy to involve the master in revenge, especially since the enemy is likely to have a high position in the court, and may even be a member of the royal family. middle man.

Although Qingxuanmen has a high status in the Jianghu, the Jianghu is the Jianghu and the imperial court is the imperial court.

"Sir, there are rumors outside that Mr. Lu was killed by Zhu Yunxi, the great grandson of the dynasty. Is this true?"

A middle-aged man was silent for a long time and suddenly asked slowly.

He was a few years older than Lu Tongzhou (it was a mistake to write Lu Tongzhou as a young man before, corrected here), and he seemed to be the most prestigious among the Jianghu disciples present.

His words represent all the people present.

"So what if it's true, so what if it's false?!"

Lu Tongzhou turned to look at the middle-aged man who spoke, and asked expressionlessly.

"Nothing else, everyone just wants to know, if it is really the grandson of the current dynasty who killed Duke Lu, what will the young master plan to do?"

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and asked slowly.

When the others heard this, they all looked at Lu Tongzhou with all their attention, waiting for his answer.

"Why, are you all scared?!"

Lu Tongzhou sneered and asked disdainfully.

In fact, he had already seen the thoughts of the people in front of him and knew that these people did not want to wade into this muddy water. Although they were from the Jianghu, once they completely offended the court, they would be trouble after all. No one wanted to be regarded as wanted by the court. To commit.

"It's not that you're afraid. There are things a man can do and things he shouldn't do. The whole world is not the kingdom. Once we become enemies of the imperial court, no one will benefit. What do you think?"

The middle-aged man laughed, turned to look at everyone present, and said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him began to echo and express their positions.

"Why didn't you mention the assassination of Zhu Yunxi on behalf of the Lu family in the street for money?! Now you tell me that you don't want to be an enemy of the imperial court?!"

"Have you forgotten all the things you have done?!"

"If you're afraid, just be afraid. Don't say it so high-sounding!"

Lu Tongzhou snorted coldly and said disdainfully, his eyes scanning the faces of everyone present one by one.

Upon hearing Lu Tongzhou's rebuke, everyone present lowered their heads, their faces full of embarrassment, and they closed their mouths.

"Master, please don't get angry. It doesn't matter if you don't mention the past. It's all in the past."

"But today's grandson is no longer the grandson of the Third Emperor in the past. Not only does he have an unfathomable master beside him, but he is also deeply favored by His Majesty. Once something happens to him, His Majesty the Emperor will not let us go. , let alone let the Lu family go!"

"Have you ever thought about this, Master?"

The middle-aged man coughed awkwardly, continued to smile, and reminded Lu Tongzhou seriously.

"From the moment my father was killed, there was no Lu family in Kyoto!"

"I don't care about other people's lives!"

"To be honest with you, I have already sworn before my father's spiritual throne. No matter who the murderer is, I will make him pay with his blood!"

"You have all been favored by my father. Since my father is in trouble, you should do your part! This is justice in the world!"

"But if someone wants to quit, I will never stop him. He can come and go freely! I will never force him!"

Lu Tongzhou looked at everyone present and said slowly.

After hearing this, everyone who had lowered their heads in shame couldn't help but their eyes lit up. They raised their heads one after another, looked at each other, and couldn't help but reveal a smile on their faces.

"However, if anyone withdraws, he will have nothing to do with the Lu family from now on! If we meet again in the world, don't blame me, Lu Tongzhou, for being ruthless! We don't distinguish between friends and foes!"

But Lu Tongzhou's next words made everyone present change their expressions at the same time.

This is a threat! A blatant threat!

They already know that Lu Tongzhou has not returned to Kyoto all these years because he has become a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect. Even if they do not take Lu Tongzhou seriously, they will never dare to offend the Qingxuan Sect!

"Young master has misunderstood. We never said we wanted to withdraw. Mr. Lu treated us well during his lifetime. How can we betray our trust?!"

"What to do next, please just tell me, Master!"

The middle-aged man smiled, waved his hand, and said seriously, with a completely different attitude.

"In that case, I would like to thank you all for your generous help!"

Lu Tongzhou smiled, bowed his hands, and said in a deep voice.

Others also handed over their hands, echoing what the middle-aged man just said, and each expressed their attitude.

Although it seemed like a happy scene for everyone, Lu Tongzhou knew in his heart that this seemingly united alliance was simply vulnerable and each had its own agenda.

But in order to avenge his father, he had no choice but to temporarily rely on the power of these people. As long as these people were willing to help, he believed that he would be able to avenge his father with his own hands!

...

Minghe Hall.

After dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang bid farewell to his grandson Zhu Yunxi, who came to play chess with him every night, and returned to the apse with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips.

After careful consideration over this period of time, the balance of the crown prince position has gradually tilted towards the grandson's side.

He already had a plan in mind, hoping to find a way to make this unfounded grandson the indispensable choice.

At this moment, Wang Defa walked into the back hall, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang who was thoughtful, and quickly caught up with him, his face solemn...
