Come on, Your Highness

That night, the scholars turned on the lights to fight at night, and put letters from home in envelopes for the courier to take back.

Unexpectedly, people from the Lu family came early in the morning, followed by the prefect of Jiangzhou and the county magistrate of Luozi.

"Your Highness, the food and the necessary supplies are all ready, can you see what else is missing?" Lu Xueliang smiled and cupped his hands, "If there is none, it can be put into the granary."

There are not many villagers in several villages together, but the Lu family sent a lot of food. There is a long line, one cart after another, and there is no end in sight. The food is enough They have had a summer.

However, He Xichao was stunned when he saw this scene, and then his pupils shrank slightly.

There is a lot of food, which means that there are also many people guarding the food. Coupled with the entourage and guards, the gathering of hundreds of people is not a small force.

He suddenly turned his head to look at magistrate Lu, who was also shocked.

As if sensing He Xichao's strange gaze, he glanced over, but turned his face away again.

He Xichao's heart sank.

"Lord Lu, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring people over to open the warehouse and put in the grain." The prefect of Jiangzhou ordered.

"Yes..." Magistrate Lu led the order.

Xiao Hong's face was not good-looking, these people together were more than his bodyguards, and he felt a faint threat.

I only heard Lu Xueliang say: "Your Highness, I don't know when you will leave for the Lu family. My father has long been looking forward to your visit, and it happens to be here to deliver food. You don't have to worry about the villagers in these villages anymore. Why don't you let me escort you and set off today!"

"That's right, Kuiliang County is poor, how can this place entertain you, you can't eat well and sleep well, I really miss you very much," Jiangzhou prefect said.

Xiao Hong sneered, and looked at the two, "So you two are still thinking about this king?"

"It's natural. You have a noble status. Jiangzhou does not dare to neglect you. Now that there is too much rain, if there is another flood that floods Kuiliang County, if you lose a little bit, you will be dismissed as an official."

These words are grandiose, but looking at the guards behind the Lu family, Xiao Hong nodded and said: "It seems that this king has to go if he doesn't want to go!"

The prefect of Jiangzhou cupped his hands, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

He Xichao turned his head and asked Lu Feng, "Yesterday, His Highness and I left Magistrate Lu's study, who else has been there?"

"The concubine of County Magistrate Lu."

"After that, did anyone leave the house?"

Lu Feng pondered deeply, "The servants who bought the goods went out before dawn."

"When are you coming back?"

"I'll be back in less than half an hour."

He Xichao looked at the aggressive Lu family and the prefect of Jiangzhou, and his heart sank, "I have to send people out quickly today."

Lu Feng said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to leave."

He Xichao's thoughts changed sharply, "If it's not easy to go, you have to go. You go to Master Lu immediately and let him find a way." He sneered, "Now it's as he wished, and he could have taken it slowly. Now that the Lu family has If you are suspicious, you won't give His Highness much more time."

He Xichao wanted to kill the smelly old man as soon as he thought about it, he urged: "Go right away, this old man will turn into a dead man if it's too late!"

The noise at the front door disturbed the back, and the scholars and dandies woke up and looked dumbfounded.

"His Royal Highness, if you need to send something to the capital, I am willing to do it for you." The prefect of Jiangzhou had a smile on his face, and there was a gleam in his eyes. "Just in time, I also have something important to report to the Emperor."

"Master Liang is really willing to help others. It's okay. It's nothing more than sharing some trivial matters and experiences with the emperor along the way. If your lord is willing to do it for you, it will save me, the guard, a trip."

Xiao Hong said, looking back at He Xichao and the other sixteen people, "Yo, I woke up, just in time, those who want to write a letter from home, hurry up and send it to the prefect."

The writing has been finished, but how can those letters of denunciation be handed over to the magistrate?

Several people glanced at each other and could only agree: "Yes."

Then he went back to the room with a sad face, He Xichao nodded at Xiao Hong and followed.

Lu Xueliang said empathetically: "His Royal Highness, please write slowly. It will take time to unload the food. Please let me know when you are ready. You only need to leave today."

"Then you just wait." Xiao Hong ignored him, turned around and entered the house with his sleeves thrown.

Someone wanted to follow in, but was stopped by the guards outside the front door.

Xiao Hong turned his head and said coldly: "Let this king watch over everything, anyone who dares to intrude will be killed!"

He was really angry, and he flung his sleeves and entered the house without looking at the expressions of the prefect of Jiangzhou and Lu Xueliang after speaking.

The guards looked at their master, and Lu Xueliang shook his head, indicating that it would be fine to keep an eye on him.

After all, the other party is a prince, and they dare not make any mistakes.

"Master Zhifu, I'm afraid we will be in trouble now."

The prefect of Jiangzhou frowned, looking at the besieged magistrate's mansion, "I made a mistake, but it's just that now, I have to come up with a regulation. The King of England can't be imprisoned or killed. What should I do?"

"I have already sent someone to inform my father, and I am waiting for his news." Lu Xueliang said.

"Oh, what can I do, why is it so hard all of a sudden?"

There was nothing wrong yesterday, but today the house was besieged. The dandy who had never seen this situation was a little anxious, while the scholars were already at a loss.

"Your Highness, sir!"

"What are you panicking about? Isn't it just pointing people out? Who said yesterday that they are not afraid?" Xiao Hong sat on the chair, as if he didn't care.

It is true to say so, but it is another matter to be real.

"Your Highness, you are really calm."

"Of course, let me tell you, don't look at the opponent's strength, they are also very panicked. This king's identity is here, and something really happened. There is no one in Jiangzhou who can't escape. The Lu family It's the same naturally. So if they don't tear their face, they won't tear it up, it's just a scare."

Xiao Hong thought about this very clearly.

This made sense, and they calmed down a little.

"So, what do they want to do next?"

Xiao Hong thought about it for a while, then shook his head, "I guess they don't even know, this king is like a hot potato now, lock him up, sooner or later there will be a fire, let's keep doing it, it's the same as dying together." He said He clicked his lips and sighed, "It's difficult, it's really difficult."

"..."

Which side are you on?

It's this time, and they are still worried about that group of strong men, and they all looked at him speechlessly.

"Oh, what kind of eyes do you have? The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle. If you don't think about things from the standpoint of those strong men, how do you know what they are going to do next?" Xiao Hong gave them an unteachable expression.

Fang Jun asked: "Didn't you say that they don't know either?"

"I don't know but there must be countermeasures. If there is no good policy, we will naturally have to take the middle and low policy. I could have given money, food and political achievements, and sent the king away with good words and good feelings. Now it is not possible, so what should I do? Woolen cloth?"

"How to do?"

Xiao Hong's eyes showed how stupid you guys are, "You can only coerce and lure me to work with them!"

"Ah, Your Highness, you, will you?" the scholars asked worriedly.

"Well..." Xiao Hong stroked his chin and began to think seriously, "Justice is precious, and the price of life is higher. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. If there is really no way, it's not impossible..."

Before Xiao Hong could say anything, the scholars looked at him with disbelief, as if they were accusing him of being so unprincipled!

"Hey, hey, don't be so pedantic. If you keep the green hills, you're not afraid of running out of firewood. If you fight head-on, you will die. There are so many of them, even if we are all elites here, we can't beat them!" Xiao Hong's literary talent is not very good, But at the moment, he admits to being cowardly in a set of ways, which fully explains what is meant by being able to bend and stretch.

The scholars had already forgotten the scene at the gate just now, and now they were disappointed and angry with Xiao Hong, and finally subconsciously turned their heads to look at He Xichao.

"Sir, say something!"

Their tone made people suddenly feel that there was another meaning: Sir, take care of it!

Xiao Hong was immediately happy.

But He Xichao didn't say a word, his eyes kept going back and forth on the four dudes, listening to the question, he said: "Do you have a better way?"

Several people shook their heads.

Fang Jun said: "But this can't be compromised!"

"Yeah, otherwise it's too..." a scholar muttered in a low voice, "I'm spineless."

He Xichao smiled and looked at the four dudes.

Mr. Zhu said: "Why don't we pretend to surrender first, anyway, the Lu family can't keep His Highness from returning to the capital, otherwise, how will the emperor explain? After leaving the Jiangzhou mansion, at that time, His Highness will not let you deal with it." ?”

"Fake surrender?" The scholars sneered after hearing this, "The Lu family is not a fool, he believes whatever His Highness says, and you have to show sincerity to surrender."

"That's a good point, so what will the Lu family ask His Highness to do?" He Xichao asked back.

When several people were deep in thought, He Xichao waved to Xiao Hong, and the two walked into the inner room together.

When he was inside, Xiao Hong put away his carefree attitude and said angrily, "Xi Chao, that old man is crazy! Why did he do this?"

"He was afraid that you would disregard the people of Kuiliang County and not want to conflict with the Lu family, just like so many imperial envoys who came to control the water and let it go." He Xichao figured it out in a blink of an eye.

"I promised him that I would deal with the Lu family, don't you believe me?"

"But he can't wait." He Xichao shook his head, as if he didn't want to discuss him anymore, and said, "Now that we have reached this point, we are very passive and have to find a way to save ourselves."

"What about false surrender?"

He Xichao let out a laugh, and said seriously: "The price must be very high. The Lu family is already walking on thin ice. Once you can't restrain you, you will be doomed. If you want them to trust you, do you think it is useful to accept a beautiful woman and money? "

"That……"

"Although there are not many people in Kuiliang County, there are still many people who are nostalgic for their hometown. If I were Cheng Enhou, I would definitely want you..." He Xichao's eyes darkened, "Kill these people, The entire Kuiliang County!"

When Xiao Hong heard this, his pupils shrank immediately.

"Only if they do bad things together, they are called people in the same boat!"

He Xichao looked at Xiao Hong who was stunned, and shook his head, "You can't do this kind of thing."

"So what should we do now?"

He Xichao walked in front of Xiao Hong, raised one hand and pulled open his skirt, and reached into his arms with the other hand, and took out the tiger talisman.

"The county magistrate Lu is not an idiot. If he dares to do this, he must have a countermeasure. Now that he has reached this point, the soldiers have to be transferred if they don't transfer!"

Xiao Hong allowed He Xichao to take the tiger talisman, and asked, "Who should I let?"

"Young Master Fuguo."

"Him?" Xiao Hong was stunned immediately, "This person is simply less reliable than me!"

"You can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

"But how did he get out of town?"

"Go in a fair way!"

"What?"

He Xichao smiled and said nothing.

Lu Feng came back, and with him was an old man who was an old servant of Magistrate Lu.

"The villain has met His Royal Highness, Mr. He."

"Don't make these false rituals, tell me, what is your lord going to do? Now that the king is bullied by dogs, it's all thanks to your lord. The guards here are for those thugs to stuff their teeth!"

The old servant is really old, after hearing Xiao Hong's complaints, he actually laughed and said: "If His Highness wants to send someone out of the city, the villain has a way to take them out."

"What way?"

"Not long ago, there was a girl Qingzhi who was sent by the Lu family to the young master of the weaving mansion in Yongzhou. This young master has been staying in Luozi County for a few days and will go back tomorrow. His Highness can pretend to be the servants of Qingzhi girl. Go without being noticed."

After the old servant finished speaking, Xiao Hong frowned and asked, "Is that okay? Your lord's concubine can't control her, so you're not afraid that this girl Qingzhi is also a secret agent of the Lu family?"

The old servant shook his head, "No, Miss Qingzhi's parents were all killed by the Lu family. Now that she is dead, she is waiting for the retribution of the Lu family. She has collected a lot of information for the master, so she is very reliable."

"Xi Chao, what do you think?"

He Xichao said: "Now there is no better way, just give it a try, since County Magistrate Lu dared to do this, he must be very sure, but..." At this point, he looked at the old servant again. The county magistrate's office is probably surrounded by groups, even if you want to ask this girl Qing Zhi for help, you have to go out first, otherwise it will be even more difficult to go to Lu's house."

The old servant cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, Mr. He, please come with the villain."

Then he turned around and walked into the bedroom of the main house. The place where Xiao Hong lived was originally the residence of County Magistrate Lu. Once Xiao Hong came, the best place was naturally given to him.

The old servant led the way to the big carved bed, lifted the mat and thin cushions, and motioned for the bed to be raised.

Xiao Hong immediately understood, "Is there a secret door here?"

"Yes, my lord secretly dug a secret passage in case of emergency."

Lu Feng then lifted the bed board and found that there was another layer underneath, and after lifting it up, the hidden door below was revealed.The two layers of bed boards are placed together, so it is not easy for people to detect them.

Open the secret door, and there is a secret passage that can only be drilled by one person.

"Where does it lead?"

"The house one street away is already empty and there is no one there. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

"Very good, that's enough!"

The author has something to say: unexpectedly, many people guessed that Magistrate Lu did it on purpose... amazing!
