Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

But just as she was thinking this, Zhang Ruiquan came to Lu Zhanxing's tent and delivered the emperor's order: "Second Master Lu, the old Duke is critically ill, and I have sent someone to tell you to return home as soon as possible to fulfill your filial duties.

However, Lu Shizi still has a crime on his body, and I am afraid he can only return home after the truth is thoroughly investigated. But don't worry, Second Young Master, His Majesty believes in Lu Shizi's character, and he will be fine. "

"Your Majesty has had a lot of medicinal herbs prepared. Second Master Lu, please bring them back to the palace!"

Lu Zhanxing’s face turned pale instantly and he took a few steps back in disbelief. Was his grandfather really going to die?

Zhang Ruiquan saw this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His Majesty has been patient for a long time. The old Duke has lived a long life. If he dies early, it will give the Duke of Anguo a break.

Lu Zhanxing suppressed his hatred and thanked him.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Zhang Ruiquan left, Lu Zhanxing took Bai Jing to her third sister's tent. She wanted to take her third sister with her.

When Princess Yaoguang found out, she asked His Majesty for permission to go back early. Her fiancé was still in prison, so how could she feel at ease here? If Master Lu had not been here this time, she would not have come.

Emperor Qian did not stop him and agreed with a wave of his hand.

At this time, in the Ministry of Justice prison.

Because the Minister of Justice was the Second Prince's maternal grandfather, he had long known that Lu Zhanyan was on good terms with his nephew, so he was quite caring towards Lu Zhanyan. The cells were clean and tidy, with a small wooden bed, and he was not made to suffer any difficulties, not even being asked to change into prison uniforms.

Because they knew that Lu Zhanyan's identity was not ordinary, and as long as the old Duke stepped forward, Lu Zhanyan would be fine.

Lu Zhanyan sat on the wooden bed with his eyes closed.

He exposed the black jade on his neck, and others thought it was just a fine accessory. In addition, due to his noble status, no one dared to rob him.

When the bailiff from the Ministry of Justice was leading the inspection, he suddenly saw the black jade and his expression changed slightly. It was the Black Dragon Order.

His father was a military general who guarded the border, and he was arranged by his father to work as the leader of the yamen runners in the Ministry of Justice, a job that was safe. On weekdays, he would inspect the cells and interrogate some questions. His life was leisurely and risk-free.

But I had always been reminded of the existence of the Black Dragon Order by my father. Before he left, he told me that if I saw the Black Dragon Order in the pattern, I must obey it.

Today, he actually saw it in Master Lu. Does that mean the person his father has been secretly loyal to is the Duke of Anguo's Mansion?

The master that their Gao family has been loyal to for generations since the founding of the family is actually the Anguo Mansion?

Gao Yong remembered his father's mission and stopped in front of the cell door. He sent other patrolling officers to other places, then he bowed and whispered, "Gao Yong greets the Lord!"

Lu Zhanyan looked up and saw a young man with a resolute face. He was wearing the uniform of a leader of yamen runners. He called himself Lord Ling?

He originally just wanted to give it a try in the cell. Even if no one recognized the Black Dragon Order, it didn't matter. There would always be someone to visit him. He didn't expect to actually meet someone who recognized the Black Dragon Order?

He stood up, walked over and said calmly: "With a spear and a horse, we can conquer the world!"

Gao Yong immediately responded in a low voice: "I am Mo Ling stepping into the nine heavens!"

If Lu Zhanxing saw that the Black Dragon Order still required a secret code, he would be speechless. In the book, after the male protagonist, the Fourth Prince, accidentally obtained the Black Dragon Order, he didn't even need a secret code, and his old subordinates or their descendants directly pledged allegiance to the Fourth Prince.

Seeing that the secret code matched, Lu Zhanyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, I wonder how things are going on the hunting grounds now?"

"I don't deserve it. Just call me Gao Bantou. I'm going to reply to Master Lu. Although I can't get any information about the enclosure, I heard that the old Duke of Anguo Mansion is dying and is sending people to the enclosure to take the second Master Lu back to the mansion."

"What?" Lu Zhanyan's expression froze slightly, but in an instant he guessed that someone had gone to the Anguo Mansion to inform the Duke.

Is that you, brother Xing?

No, Xingdi wouldn't be that stupid. And Mu Qingli, he escaped at that time, so he would definitely help Xingdi find a solution. It couldn't be Xingdi's doing, so the only person who would do this is Emperor Qian.

Emperor Qian just wanted to provoke his grandfather, and it would be best if his grandfather died of anger.

Lu Zhanyan's eyes were full of coldness. He was extremely disappointed with such an emperor. What qualifications did he have to sit in that position?

And what about the second prince? Hasn’t he done anything at all?

"Master Lu, is there anything you need me to do? I am willing to serve you."

"Please, Captain Gao, pass on a message for me!"

Lu Zhanyan knew in his heart that His Majesty's target had always been his grandfather. As for him, His Majesty had never taken him seriously, just as the assassination attempt was untenable. If His Majesty had not given the order too quickly and left him no chance to react, he would have been able to clear himself of suspicion on the spot.

When they return to the court tomorrow, someone will stand up to clear themselves of the charges and will never let the name of assassination fall on them.

However, the current official position cannot be kept at all. It is better to stay away from disputes and seek development elsewhere.

Having made up his mind, Lu Zhanyan asked Gao Yong to help him pass on the message.

After listening to Lu Zhanyan's explanation, Gao Yong was extremely surprised. It turned out that Mei Ge Lao of the cabinet was also loyal to Mo Long Ling like himself.

He agreed and turned to leave.

Lu Zhanxing and his companions traveled all night long, but encountered dozens of assassins on the way.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

The dozen or so guards brought by Chief Steward Yu protected the masters one after another.

Mu Qingli, who was wearing women's clothes, immediately rode her horse to protect Lu Zhanxing, and Bai Jing did the same.

Lu Zhanxing was as calm as before. The secret guards arranged by his brother could not enter the enclosure, but they had already been guarding in the dark outside.

If so many secret guards can't deal with these assassins, then these secret guards are nothing more than this.

Princess Yaoguang, who was traveling with the carriage, did not panic when she heard about the assassin. Instead, she sat calmly in the carriage. She had guards around her and her four maids were all skilled in martial arts, so there was no need to worry too much.

But he was also a little annoyed. Who on earth wanted to deal with the Anguo Mansion?

The guards of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and the Princess Yaoguang were numerous and powerful, and together with Lu Zhanxing's secret guards, they would be dispatched together. No matter how powerful the assassin was, he would not be able to get away with facing the siege of several people alone. In addition, Bai Jing and Mu Qingli were highly skilled in martial arts, and while protecting Lu Zhanxing, they could occasionally have time to kill an assassin.

However, the crisis came without warning.

A cold arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness at an extremely fast speed and reached Lu Zhanxing's chest in an instant.

This hidden arrow came with such force that no one could guard against it and no one had time to react.

The faces of the guards closest to the scene changed drastically, but they were unable to rescue him.

"Master!"

"Second Young Master!"

Bai Jing was just dealing with an assassin, who was some distance away but still out of reach.

He was about to throw the sword away, but the assassin next to him came forward and entangled him, making it impossible for him to respond.

However, Lu Zhanxing did not dare to hide in the space at all, because behind him was the carriage of Princess Yaoguang. If the sharp arrow penetrated the carriage, then...

Mu Qingli killed an assassin, his eyes turned cold, and he immediately threw the sword in his hand. However, the sword cut off a part of the sharp arrow, and the other arrowhead still shot out.

Everyone could only watch as the sharp arrow pierced Lu Zhanxing's chest.

"oops!"

Lu Zhanxing was shot and fell off his horse.

"Master, Master..."

Everyone was in a panic, and the means of killing the enemy became more violent. Mu Qingli rushed over and hugged her in a panic, with sadness brewing in his eyes: "Master Lu..."

But Lu Zhanxing patted his hands. Mu Qingli's sadness had not yet finished brewing. With red eyes, she looked down at her in confusion and saw her pulling out the arrow from her chest as if nothing had happened. Hmm? No blood?

"Master Lu?"

Lu Zhanxing rubbed his chest which was pierced by the sharp arrow. Oh my god, my iron sheet saved my life...

Iron piece, iron piece, I never thought that one day you would be able to accomplish such a great feat!
