In a quiet small courtyard in the outskirts, the young master in brocade clothes sat blankly on the carved chair, his eyes were empty.

The tea around him was already completely cold, and the servant girl stepped forward to help him replace the cold tea, but as soon as he raised his foot to get closer, he saw the young master flew into a rage, and a teacup flew straight towards him, scaring the little girl Hastily retreated.

After a while, the room returned to calm.

The man in red knocked on the door lightly, and then stepped into the room.

There was nothing to smash around the young master in brocade clothes, but he became much quieter. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and glanced at the man, his eyes were scarlet, like a red-eyed rabbit.

"Little Lord……"

The young master in brocade clothes blinked at him, then suddenly frowned and said: "...the girl is dead."

It was a good sentence, but it was only when I said it that I realized how heartbreaking it was. A tear suddenly fell out of my eye socket and hit the cold floor.

"I clearly told you to tell her to protect herself no matter how urgent she is. Doesn't she understand what I said?" He paused, sniffled uncomfortably, and his voice was a little hoarse. "Who told her to make her own way, she lost her life for nothing!"

The man in red didn't know how to comfort him, so he walked slowly to his side, knelt down and said softly: "Young master, don't be sad, the girl may just want to help the young master remove obstacles."

Before he finished speaking, he felt the hand on his shoulder suddenly clenched, and the man's voice was crying, whispering in his ear: "She tried her best to pull Lu Zheng down, even her own child My son will not be spared, I will naturally accept her painstaking efforts."

"I will never let the girl sacrifice in vain. The queen used her humble life to protect Lu Zheng's position as prince. I have my own way to kill him in the northwest."

He took a while to sit up straight again, and when he looked again, there was no trace of the fragile look just now.The brows and eyes are shrewd and calculating, which makes people feel cold behind for no reason: "This time the Northwest commander must push Lu Sui anyway, and we will be in vain if we are in charge."

The man in red nodded and slowly responded.

"Do you think I'm too cruel?" He looked at him fixedly, and said every word: "Wen Tingyi and Lu Sui wouldn't be here if I hadn't intervened in it. I got them involved, and now I'm going to kill them." them."

The man in red shook his head, only looked at his pair of ancient well-free eyes, and said slowly: "I know, that's not your intention. You don't want to hurt anyone, I know."

"When the revenge is over, I will stay with the young master all the time, and accompany the young master to forget about these things slowly."

On this day, an unexpected person came to Hongni Xiaozhu.

The visitor was dressed in strong clothes, three thousand strands of hair were tied into a high ponytail, the makeup was light and elegant, and the brows were full of a heroic spirit that had been trained in the battlefield.

Lu Xi rode a steed all the way from the palace to the small red mud building. When he entered the house, his forehead was covered with sweat, he was panting, and he hadn't even managed to straighten out his breath. He yelled at Lu Sui directly: "Lu Sui , why didn't you go to court today?"

Before anyone came in, the voice first reached everyone's ears.

When Lu Xi stepped into the room, Lu Sui was still dining with Wen Tingyi, and the two of them were very close.Lu Sui was holding a small porcelain bowl, and there was still half a bowl of black concoction in the bowl.

Lu Xi stopped in her tracks, and after being stunned for two seconds, she suddenly turned around, her voice teasing: "Ahem, you guys continue."

Lu Sui and Wen Tingyi smiled helplessly, and Lu Sui said, "Okay, turn around." He paused, and continued, "What happened to the court?"

It was only then that Lu Xi remembered the important event, and said with a slightly serious face, "These days the northwest border is not stable, and the whole court is guessing who will lead the army, have you not heard the news?"

Lu Sui raised his legs and smiled slowly, "Since the imperial cousin said that I don't need to lead troops on this trip to the northwest, why should I bother to go to that muddy water? Let them mess around."

These days, he specially handed over the booklet to avoid the embarrassment of meeting the emperor in the early morning, and it happened that the emperor had a cold and stopped court for several days.

Lu Yan said angrily, "I asked you to decline, not to make you indifferent. Do you know who the emperor ordered to lead the army this morning?"

"Could it be me?"

Lu Xi stared at him fixedly, and said seriously after a long while: "King of Shu, Ye Baozhang."

Lu Sui's expression froze, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, he smiled and said, "Is the emperor joking with me? Leaders in the Northwest have always been military generals. Although the King of Shu once inherited the military power, everyone knows that he is also the leader of the previous generation of Shu." King's business."

Lu Xi frowned: "You and I can think about things clearly, how can the father not be clear?"

Lu Sui straightened his posture, propped his chin with one hand, and paused for a while before saying, "If you put it this way, what exactly is the emperor going to do?"

Lu Xi lifted the hem of his clothes and slowly sat on the side, and hurriedly picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup.

Everyone was silent, and suddenly another servant reported that Ye Baozhang had come.Lu Sui's expression froze, knowing that Ye Baozhang's visit must be for this reason.

Sure enough, before people could see the shadow, the sound of crying had already spread from the yard into the back room.

Ye Baozhang howled while running: "Brother, brother, brother, save me quickly."

Lu Sui held his forehead with one hand, a little helpless, and when he saw the real person, he said: "Okay, stop howling, the person is not dead yet."

Ye Baozhang ran to him, hugged Lu Sui for help without saying a word: "Brother, the emperor is crazy, he wants me to go to the northwest, brother."

He paused, and continued: "Brother, look at what I can do. I have thin arms and legs, and I have died hundreds of times on the road before going to the northwest. Brother, you and sister-in-law quickly help me find a way .”

Wen Tingyi persuaded him in a gentle voice for a while, and then slowly analyzed it after he calmed down, and said after a while: "Your Highness, I feel that His Majesty's idea this time is to blackmail you with His Highness the King of Shu."

In fact, Lu Sui also had conjectures in this regard.

The old king of Shu was brave and good at fighting. He was subdued by the old prince and surrendered to Da Chu, and won many victories for Da Chu.But since the king of Shu was wronged, Ye Baozhang has almost handed over all the military power after his succession, and he has never been in contact with marching troops, and no one in the Northwest faction will send Ye Baozhang.

Wen Tingyi said: "Your Majesty probably guessed that His Highness has no intention of leading the army in the northwest, so he made a plan to use His Highness the King of Shu to force His Highness to ask for an order by himself."

When Ye Baozhang heard the words, he suddenly let go of Lu Sui slowly, and asked, "Is that so?"

He paused for a while before saying: "If that's the case, then I'll go. I can't be blamed for what happens at the northwest border."

Lu Sui was about to laugh at this fool.

It's not that simple to take command and go to war. If you lose a battle, you will be punished by military regulations.What's more, with so many soldiers throwing their heads and blood for the country, the main general's failure is a contempt for their lives.

"Anyway, brother, you can't go to the northwest." Ye Baozhang said.

Lu Xi also chimed in at the right time: "Yes, no matter what, you are not allowed to go to the Northwest. You remember what I said at the time, Father is now looking for trouble for you, you should avoid the limelight as soon as possible."

Naturally, Lu Sui didn't want to go to the northwest either. As Lu Yu said, Emperor Qi had never been optimistic about the Ruyang Palace, and he had actually opposed him these days. He was probably already jumping in anger, wishing to get rid of him as soon as possible. Soon after.

but……

If he doesn't respond, is it really necessary to let Ye Baozhang go to the northwest to take command?

Lu Xi persuaded: "Father will go to court tomorrow, you must come. If my guess is correct, Father will not make such a reckless decree."

Only then did everyone restrain their minds a little, and waited for the next day's court to watch.

Who would have thought that Emperor Qi made a real move this time.

In the court hall, civil and military officials were lined up on both sides. Emperor Qi had a pale face, his eyes like a cold pool slowly swept across the crowd, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there really no one in the court who wants to go to the northwest?"

After the sound, no one answered, but no one persuaded.

After the emperor intended to assume the command of the king of Shu yesterday, several adults from the Ministry of War knelt in a row in the Golden Dragon Hall. The emperor didn't even look at it, and the teacher directly carried it out.

Now everyone knows that the emperor is determined to do this, who would dare to make trouble.

Seeing that no one answered, Lu Sui did not take any action, and was still watching quietly.

Emperor Qi pursed his lips lightly, and said coldly: "Since that's the case, the King of Shu will step forward to accept the order."

Ye Baozhang didn't expect to mention himself, so he stepped forward tremblingly.

Emperor Qi asked someone to bring the jade seal, gave him a cold look, and was about to buckle the jade seal, when suddenly there was a sound coming down.

Lu Sui stood up slowly, and said coldly, "Hold on, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qi raised his eyebrows, and put the jade seal in his hand back to its original place as he wished.
