The son is responsible

Xue Muji got up early in the morning. It should be said that he didn't fall asleep last night. For a while, he was thinking about whether the fourth brother would be angry, for a while, how to save the regent, and for a while, how to apologize tomorrow... In short Thousands of threads, a mess of paste.

The next day, when he got to the carriage in Fuyuan, the fourth brother was already waiting there.

Walking all the way, turning out of the city gate from the main road of Pingjiang, the small tree-lined roads in the suburbs are thriving, but Xue Muji is not in the mood to watch at all.

In the carriage from Pingjiang to the suburbs, he and his elder brother, along the way, roughly looked like this.

"Well, yesterday...well...I..."

"Does your foot still hurt?"

"Brother, I didn't lose my temper on purpose yesterday."

"Have you applied your morning ointment?"

"Don't be angry with me. What I said yesterday was completely thoughtless. I read in medical books that people will become less conscious when they are in severe pain. That was the case at that time. Brother, you Forgive me, okay?"

"I'll rub it for you."

"No, no... no, no, really no, Dr. Xu has already rubbed it..."

Brother, did you listen to me?I am apologizing very seriously and sincerely, why are you messing around?Massaging my feet is a servant's job, and you are not a servant!You should say that you forgive me!

Xue Muji hurriedly put his feet together, retracted and leaned against the seat.His body subconsciously avoided the fourth brother. Because of yesterday's farce, he decided to keep a distance from the fourth brother. The two must maintain the pure friendship like brothers, and must not develop in the same direction.

There was a long silence in the carriage.

Xue Huaijiu flipped through the book that he carried with him, Xue Muji closed his eyes on the surface, but actually peeked through the gap.

The Panyun sword was placed in the corner of the low table. Since he gave it to the fourth brother, it has become the saber that the fourth brother carries with him.Xue Muji is very proud of winning the heroic master of the famous sword. From now on, this sword will accompany the master to radiate the light he should have.

The sword master of Panyun was famous for generations, but he was the only one in the hands of a dandy, locked into a box and treated as trash.

He once thought, this sword attracted his soul and sent it back to Xue Muji's reborn body, why?Perhaps, it was arranged by God's will. He didn't want to keep this sword dusty in the box, and wanted to find a worthy owner like his fourth brother, so he wanted to borrow Xue Muji's hand.

Thinking about the former owner of this sword, Princess Qi'an, although she was a woman, her heart was never rigid in the boudoir, and she never lost to any courtiers in civil and military affairs in the construction of government affairs. My sister is the closest.

In the past few years, Xue Muji has also been to Qin's wine shop several times.From Ms. Qin's memories, he is even more certain that the few people who came to Pingjiang with Uncle Xue back then, apart from the Crown Prince Jiayu with his personal bodyguard, the woman who drank a lot, Princess Qi'an, and Lu Yu were also among them. Ms. Qin Of course I don’t know, the young man who was fighting with that girl for wine is the king regent who is more than ten thousand people today. She told Xue Muji that the impression she had of a few people at that time was that Lu Yu was carefree, carefree and self-willed. The son of a rich family.

In this way, Lu Yu suddenly became interested, and the reason for coming to Pingjiang City for a private visit also made sense.

Xue Muji calculated that this year happened to be 18 years since his third uncle died.

In Dajing folk, there is a saying that 18 years is the year of reincarnation. People will not be reincarnated immediately after death. Form, meet the person you want to see once in the Yangyang, and then erase the memory, and live as a human being.

Lu Yu wanted to see Third Uncle.Things are different, and the like-minded partner who rode horses back then is now the only one still alive in the world.

Just as he was thinking, his two hidden guards, one on the left and the other on the right, climbed in from under the carriage.

"Your Majesty, there is movement from the merchant group. This group of merchant groups really did not come to do business. They picked up a shipment of goods at the pier this morning. I followed His Majesty's instructions, and after they left, I went to the warehouse to open the boxes and inspect them one by one. The fifty boxes at the bottom are cloth on the top and long knives on the bottom." Fuyun was in charge of checking the authenticity of the goods of the merchant group, and reported to the crown prince what he found this morning.

Xue Muji looked at Fufeng, and Fufeng said, "The boss of the business group got up early this morning, went out in a hurry, dodged left and right, and came to a deserted alley. I followed him and saw him go over the wall to a private house. The owner of this house is Zhao is a disciple of Lord Qing Yan of Dali Temple in Yongdu. He became famous at a young age, but he was not good at officialdom and offended many people. Song Ting makes a move."

Yan Bin?Xue Muji frowned. He always thought that the people who ambush and kill Regent Lu were Prime Minister Shen or the old people of Empress Dowager Feng. After all, these two families were the only ones who hated Lu Yu to death and dared to do it.Could it be, someone else?

Lu Yu has a finely crafted net in his hand, and any disturbance in Dajing territory can hardly be concealed from his net.How could he not know that someone was going to assassinate him?The crux that Xue Muji couldn't figure out before was all solved. Lu Yuming knew that the danger was coming, but he didn't dodge or avoid it, and let Yan Bin set up an assassination plan.

Because Yan Bin was originally with him, a staunch supporter of Emperor Jialin's ascension to the throne, and the implementation of the New Deal, and his loyalty overflowed. The domineering regent.

Emperor Jialin should have been in charge long ago, but in fact Dajing's most deadly military power was still in the hands of Lu Yu, and most of the reported memorials were read by Lu Yu before sending them to the palace for Emperor Jialin's review.Emperor Jialin didn't think so, but Yan Bin had a big opinion. He was afraid that Lu Yu would continue and change the imperial power of the Li family to Lu.After all, it is not a day or two since the Mengze Lu family wants to rebel.

Without doing anything, Lord Yan took advantage of Lu Yu's subdued clothes to leave Yongdu, hoping to solve this serious problem for Emperor Jialin silently.

Xue Muji shook his head, this Lord Yan was too naive and too annoying, not to mention that Lu Yu had already seen through him in his heart and played with him to the end, this Lord Yan actually chose Pingjiang City as the place to kill.Pingjiang's family is rich, and he doesn't even have any thieves. Seeing the bloodshed for no reason made people panic, and it was obvious that he, the son of Pingjiang, was causing trouble.

Xue Muji ordered, "Fufeng, you continue to follow the boss of the business group, you must figure out their retreat route. Fuyun, you go back to the mansion, find the head of the dark guard and need more than a dozen good men to lay an ambush near Songting Town, wait I order."

The two disappeared, Xue Muji turned his head, Xue Huaijiu didn't look up at all, he was still turning the pages of the book.

Brother, you want to save a big shot, it's wrong for you to be so calm at such a thrilling time!

Xue Muji stopped the carriage and told the coachman to go to the nearest hotel on the outskirts of the city to Songting Town.Tomorrow's use of force will consume energy, and now we need to recharge our batteries.

Xue Huaijiu suddenly closed the book and said, "I forced me to go on an outing, but I actually wanted me to do something. I understand, what do you want me to do?"

"Huh?" Xue Muji said casually, "Save someone!"

"Since you already know that someone is going to assassinate him, why didn't you tell him directly? Instead, let him fall into danger first, and then ask me to rescue him?" Xue Huaijiu asked.

Xue Muji waved his hand, "I need him to remember your kindness, and then repay your kindness. Brother, you know the person you want to save. You met him in Yongdu before. He is Lu Qian's father, the regent Lu Yu. You After saving his life, what he can give you is far more than what I can give you. Since ancient times, Pingjiang has had no one to take care of him in the officialdom. If you can gain a foothold in Yongdu, you can also bring more to Pingjiang. As I said, outside the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion is the world where you can display your ambitions. I am the son of the prince, and I will never be able to live without it for the rest of my life, but you can. Lu Yu, this is your chance."

Xue Huaijiu suddenly grabbed Pan Yunjian and jumped off the running carriage, Xue Muji didn't know what happened, but his legs were not fully healed and he couldn't move violently, only half of his body was exposed from the carriage curtain.

"Brother, where are you going?" Xue Muji asked anxiously seeing Xue Huaijiu walking in the opposite direction of the carriage.

Xue Huaijiu didn't stop, and continued to walk quickly into the nearby woods.The tree trunk was thick, blocking Xue Muji's sight, Xue Muji stopped immediately, did he say something just now?Make brother unhappy?He pointed to the tree trunk and said to the coachman, "Go and see what brother is doing."

The coachman hesitated, but did not leave, Xue Muji stared, "I told you to go and see, what are you doing?"

"My son, Mr. Jiu probably... wants... to relieve... Is it not good for me to look at it this way?" The coachman said his guess aggrieved.

Seeing the low grass behind the tree, Xue Muji seemed to be rustling, blushed, and quickly retreated into the carriage.

When his brother came back, Xue Muji licked his face and smiled, and took out the snacks in the bag to share with his brother.

Xue Huaijiu didn't answer, he spoke in a low voice, but the carriage was narrow enough to be heard, he asked, "Xue Muji, do you want me to leave Pingjiang Marquis Mansion?"

Xue Muji actually wanted to say that he didn't want it, but history has developed like this, and he just added to the flames a little bit.But when he said that, the matter of soul travel was overwhelmed, so he could only put on a very indifferent expression, and replied softly, "En."

The corner of Xue Huaijiu's mouth seemed to have a wry smile, Xue Muji was guilty of lying just now, he didn't dare to raise his head, completely ignoring this flashing expression.

At night, Xue Muji tossed and turned and still couldn't sleep, thinking about how his brother would save the regent tomorrow, what method would he use to save him?Do you personally go to block the arrow and block the knife?No, he couldn't bear to get his brother hurt!Can't direct the field from the side?No way, it seems too insincere.Besides, the assassination scene must be very chaotic at that time, what if someone who doesn't have eyes hurts his brother?
