Huamo

Qiao Zhi said firmly.

"Okay, Master, Xiaotian and I go in, and Uncle Mo is here to meet you." Lian Heng nodded and walked into the house with Yunli and two subordinates from Baiye Villa.

The inside is as simple as an abandoned house. Walking into the innermost room, as expected, I saw Chu Luo and Chu Ran with their hands tied and their mouths sealed.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Seeing Lian Heng and Yun Li, the two brothers and sisters whimpered excitedly as if they had seen life-saving straws.

"Hush...don't make any noise." Lian Heng made a silence gesture, and quickly untied the two, while Yun Li also changed Xiao Zhe and Xiao Tian into the appearance of Chu Luo and Chu Ran and tied them up. in the house.

After the civet cat exchanged the prince's trick, Lian Heng and others took Chu Luo and Chu Ran away, and they didn't know who would win the game of chess.

The atmosphere in the whole Chu Mansion was oppressive, and Chu Lu in Qingyi Hall in the main hall was frowning like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do. Chu Piao also sat on the chair without saying a word, and the hundreds of people sent out The soldiers searched every household in Fengyu City, but there was no clue.

"Grandpa..."

"How is it!! Where are my Ran'er and Luo'er?!" Chu Lu yelled, with old tears in his eyes.

"I can't find it... Now Deputy General Qian has gone to the other side of the desert to look for it." The housekeeper looked bitter, shook his head and sighed.

"Find it for me!" Chu Lu yelled furiously, trembling all over his body, "Also! Find out for me which bastard dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head!!"

"Master! There is a letter at the door!" Another servant rushed in all the way.

"Quick! Show me!" Chu Lu was so flustered that his hands were shaking, he took the letter and quickly opened it at a glance. The letter only said that if he wanted to save the child, he had to go to the bamboo forest in the eastern suburbs to talk about the matter.

"You guys go down, and Xiaoer goes to rest too." Chu Lu said pretending to be calm.

After the servants left, Chu Piao still didn't leave. He frowned and said, "Father, I'm the eldest son, and Xiao Ran and Xiao Luo are my younger siblings. I don't want to be kept in the dark."

"Piao'er..." Chu Lu thought for a while and handed the letter to Chu Piao.

"I'm afraid there is fraud. The other party's target should be you." Chu Piao said seriously after reading the letter.

"Piao'er, Dad has to go." After Chu Lu said that, he hurried to the door, but he heard a familiar voice getting closer.

"Father! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

As soon as Chu Ran entered the door, he threw himself into his father's arms and cried so hard that I felt pity for him.

"We're fine..." Chu Luo also came down to Chu Lu's side with the help of Lian Heng, and smiled weakly.

"Ran'er?! Luo'er?!" Chu Lu looked at the pair of children who suddenly returned to his arms in disbelief, thinking he was dreaming.

"What's going on here?" Chu Piao was also stunned, but he was finally relieved to see that his younger siblings were fine.

"Brother Lian came to save us." Chu Ran sniffed and sobbed.

"Young Master Lian..." Chu Lu looked at Lian Heng and Yun Li in surprise.

"Master Chu, if you want to know who is behind this scene, you can only use tricks." Yun Li glanced at the letter in Chu Piao's hand and said meaningfully.

"Also, I have to take them to a secret place to hide for a while, and come back after the truth comes to light." Lian Heng added, "I have changed my subordinates into Xiaoran Xiaoluo and continued to stay in the cell. "

Chu Lu was stunned for a moment, then gradually came back to his senses and nodded, he looked at Chu Ran and Chu Luo and said seriously: "Ran'er Luoer, listen to Mr. Lian, Daddy will find the murderer and seek justice for you. "

"En." Chu Ran nodded obediently.

"Father, you can go to business at ease, I will take good care of Xiaoran." Chu Luo nodded.

"Uncle Mo, take Xiao Ran and Xiao Luo to Daxing Tower and let Feng Mie take care of them." Lian Heng ordered.

"Yes, master." Uncle Mo nodded, and left with Chu Luo and Chu Ran.

"Piao'er, you can make up your own mind about what's going on in the army. Dad, go to the bamboo forest." Chu Lu patted Chu Piao on the shoulder, took out a soldier talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Piao, and said solemnly, "You are a soldier talisman." Take it, let Deputy General Qian continue to search the city, and don't startle the snake by letting others know that Ran'er and Luo'er are fine."

"I know, Dad, be careful yourself." Chu Piao said comfortingly, holding Chu Lu's hand.

Chu Lu sighed softly. He naturally had a direction in his mind about who the other party was. It was nothing more than those royal forces in the court. He was alone, but he was still involved, but fortunately, Lian Heng helped him save all the children, so he was not so passive.

【Fengyu City Eastern Suburb Bamboo Forest】

The faint snowy bamboo forest hides the most filthy things.

When Chu Lu walked into the bamboo forest in the eastern suburbs, guards came and took him to a simple bamboo canopy, where a luxuriously dressed man was drinking tea leisurely, with a yellow cloak reaching the ground.

"I don't know which prince wants to invite this old man together." Chu Lu's voice was like a bell, and his momentum remained the same as before.

"It's worthy of letting the people of the Western Regions fear General Chu." The other party said loudly, "Brother-in-law, long time no see."

"So it's the Second Prince." Chu Lu's eyes turned cold.

"Brother-in-law, please sit down." Gongsun Yu got up with a smirk.

"Thank you, my lord." Chu Lu frowned, walked up to Gongsun Yu and sat down.

"It's been good lately." Gongsun Yu warmly chatted and poured a cup of tea for Chu Lu.

"How is the old man? The Second Prince knows it well." Chu Lu, who was born as a general, did not like to beat around the bush like a civil servant. He said bluntly, "Ming people don't speak dark words. Where are Luo'er and Ran'er?"

"Brothers and sisters are fine." Gongsun Yu laughed, "As long as you are willing to help me, brother-in-law, Chu Luo and Chu Ran will be fine, and even Chu Luo's illness can be cured."

"Sick?" Chu Lu clenched his fists. He could probably guess what Gongsun Yu wanted to say.

"Ah? Didn't my brother-in-law forget that Chu Luo has been ill for almost ten years?" Gongsun Yu laughed out loud.

"My lord, please make it clear." Chu Lu responded calmly, even though he had already guessed that Gongsun Yu was behind the gangsters he met back then.

"At the beginning, those disobedient mad dogs in my palace ran to attack my brother-in-law privately. I heard that the little baby Chu Luo was hit by a poisoned arrow." Those crazy dogs, but luckily my sister's son and daughter are fine."

"Gongsun Yu!" Chu Lu slammed the table and stood up, his angry roar made the surrounding guards draw their swords to face each other.

"You guys are really disobedient. Take the knife back. That's my brother-in-law." Gongsun Yu frowned, looking like he hated iron for being weak.

"Yes, my lord."

A group of guards nodded, put away their weapons again, and stood upright to guard.

"Since the dog raised by me hurt my brother-in-law's child, I must take the responsibility." Gongsun Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, "I have the antidote, brother-in-law, don't worry."

"Whatever you want, just say what you have to say." Chu Lu lost his patience, glanced at Gongsun Yu with disgust, then turned his back, straightening his back.

"Now that General Cheng is the only one among the generals in the court, I just hope that my brother-in-law can come out to check and balance." Gongsun Yu said leisurely.

"The old man has been away from the court for a long time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to meet the expectations of the Second Prince."

"No, brother-in-law will definitely be able to take care of himself." Gongsun Yu said with a smile.

"What do you want the old man to do, just tell me."

A gleam flashed in Gongsun Yu's eyes, and he waved his hand to ask his servants to take out the official uniform of the Minister of War.

Chu Lu turned around and glanced at the official uniform: "You..."

"Naturally, the second-rank official position is not worthy of General Chu." Gongsun Yu chuckled inscrutably. He took a sip from his teacup and said slowly, "This is for Young Master Chu."

"Piaoer." Chu Lu frowned.

"Piao'er is my king's nephew, and this king will definitely not treat me badly." Gongsun Yu said with a smile, "With this king taking care of him, although he has entered Beijing as a servant, he will soon be able to sit in the position of minister."

"We still have to look at Piao'er's wishes."

"Piao'er is a sensible child, not to mention that he is familiar with the art of war and has both civil and military skills. It would be a waste if he doesn't serve the country." Gongsun Yu smiled all over his face, got up and walked in front of Chu Lu with the official seal and official uniform in person, "How about it, brother-in-law If you accept it, you will have an elder son who is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and a healthy younger son."

Chu Lu stared at the tiger-like Gongsun Yu with a smile that was not a smile: "Remember your promise." After saying that, he took the official uniform and official seal, turned and left the bamboo forest.

Gongsun Yu looked at Chu Lu's leaving back with a smile of success in his eyes.

When Chu Lu stepped into the Qingyi Hall, he felt that someone was visiting, and held his breath at Gongsun Yu's place. Now his face is not much better, thinking about who else will come to his house at this juncture.

"Father." Chu Piao walked towards him, frowning.

"What's wrong?" Chu Lu felt deeply uneasy.

"Come in first." Chu Piao led Chu Lu into the side room of Qingyi Hall, closed the door tightly, and walked to the innermost room, only then did he see a plainly dressed middle-aged man drinking tea leisurely.

"You are... Sima Guo? You are a disciple of Lord Zhongshu." Chu Lu's face softened a little. Although he was very worried about the affairs of the court, he had a good impression of this prime minister, but this Gongsun Yu had just stepped forward. After leaving, An Xuansu's people came to visit him, which meant something to ponder.

"This should be General Chu." Sima Guo got up and saluted without being humble or overbearing.

"Master Sima, please sit down." Chu Lu made a gesture of invitation with a modest smile.

"I didn't expect the general who killed the enemy on the battlefield to be quite literary." Sima Guo sighed in admiration.

"Where, where, I don't know why Lord Sima came here.
