The General and His Enemy Your Highness

Since the first battle of Jinwuling in the 15th year of Xianzhang, the king of Xiping returned to the court, so that the various countries can deploy two thousand spies, who are the owner of a street pastry shop, or the leader of a certain city merchant—one thousand of which is borrowed from Fengyuelou .

Fengyue Tower has long since become a confidant of Xiping Palace and Huai Palace from Bai Xiaosheng of the royal family.

Therefore, the news that King Luo used an excuse to slander that King Huai was not the heir of the emperor spread all over Yong'an City the next day, and there was booing in the streets and alleys. Unexpectedly, King Luo prepared a generous gift that day, went to the gate of Prince Xiping's mansion, and apologized to the wounded King Huai.

Chu Luo folded his sleeves and saluted, with a humble posture, and said politely: "Brother Yu mistakenly believed in villains, and ruined the reputation of the fifth brother. I hope the fifth brother will be magnanimous and don't care about brother Yu."

Chu Ce sat quietly, and when there was no one around, he withdrew his usual gentle attitude, calm and indifferent, without raising his eyes, and only smiled faintly: "His Royal Highness, sit down, why are you so serious? Just trust the villain again."

After saying that, he glanced pointedly at Lin Shuyu who was accompanying King Luo. The latter looked as usual and remained unmoved.

One brother is commensurate with each other, but the other dutifully called out his title, and told Luo Wang clearly that he is close to you, and he is not familiar with you.

The smile on the corner of Chu Luo's lips was a bit forced, and the meaning was unclear: "After all, it is the fifth younger brother who has the ability to even win the military power in the Northwest."

After the death of the crown prince, King Luo really had a good time, but it didn't take long for King Huai to change from his former obscurity, and his repeated reforms won the hearts of the people. Even King Xiping was willing to hand over the military power in the Northwest, why should he?

Dirty things that come out of the gutter are also worthy of standing in the hall?

The more unwilling Chu Luo was, the stronger his killing intent.

Even though he looks calm and calm on the surface, Chu Ce can still see the resentment and anger he is suppressing. After all, he has lived much longer than Chu Luo.

"That." Chu Ce responded casually, and said in a soft, careless voice, "They all work for Great Chu, and it doesn't matter whoever holds the military power in the Northwest."

Mei Geng, who was walking to the door, paused, and when he heard the conversation coming from inside, he smiled playfully.

What is military power in the Northwest? King Huai can even live in the Xiping Palace, and King Xiping can also sleep. Isn't military power just in his pocket?King Xiping thought so, and he felt that it was reasonable.

After a while, Chu Luo's gentle but sharp laughter came from the room: "Although that is the case, you should rest assured that the military power is in your own hands. Besides, the fifth younger brother has sacrificed a lot for this. It is really unfair if there is no reward .”

There must be King Xiping's spies in the Xiping Palace, Chu Luo thought to himself, he said this deliberately, because he was sure that these words would reach the ears of King Xiping, and the intention of provocation was obvious.

Little did he know that King Xiping was standing outside the door, his smile completely gone.

Mei Geng sneered silently, as expected, dogs couldn't spit out ivory.

Doesn't this mean that Xiao Ce committed himself to him for the military power in the Northwest?

After a moment of calm, the door was pushed open abruptly, and the black wind and fierce King Xiping stepped over the threshold and snorted: "If you talk about laborious work, His Royal Highness Luo Wang has spent a lot of thought, but unfortunately, you have to find a safe place to bet." Yes, otherwise it will be bad."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Shuyu again, the latter smiled back and said lightly: "Yes, the bet should be safe, otherwise, if you don't notice it for a while, you will be defeated."

Lin Shuyu's eyes turned cold, this Mei Geng really stood in the way of him too much.

If it wasn't for Mei Geng, how could he have found Chu Luo?Chu Luo has support behind him, so he cannot be allowed to act recklessly, Chu Ce is the most suitable pawn, so what about his intelligence, but he is just a prince whose name is not clear, isn't he at the mercy of others?

But Mei Geng snatched him away first!

Mei Geng understood that he was alluding to Qin Gui's plot, and replied unhurriedly: "Whether it will be a total defeat is still uncertain, but Mr. Lin might as well go back to the yamen earlier, I'm afraid His Majesty's imperial edict is coming soon."

"What?" Lin Shuyu was startled.

Mei Geng smiled kindly, and said sincerely: "I forgot to tell Mr. Lin that the king has been investigating a cult in the past few days, so he wrote an excerpt and presented it together with the evidence."

Lin Shuyu: "..."

Lin Shuyu said without changing his face, "I don't know what cult it is?"

Mei Geng gave him a half-smile look, as if he was asking, "Don't you know what cult it is?", but blurted out: "Luoyin Sect, it is said that the leader is an old pervert, and the followers are a group of lunatics. They drink Taoist water when they are sick. If you die nine times, you will be cured and you will become emperor."

Lin Shuyu's complexion changed slightly after he spoke nonsense. He really didn't know what kind of talisman in the teaching was so effective.

After a while, he said with a faint smile: "If the evidence is convincing, then he should be arrested and dealt with."

"Lord Lin doesn't know something." Mei Geng took Duke Huai's hand by the desk, and gently stroked the sensitive palm. The other party flinched, and drew a circle on the palm even more vigorously, "This cult involves a lot. Wang Zi dare not make a decision privately, or let His Majesty decide, Lord Lin is now serving in the Inspectorate, so he must bother."

Lin Shuyu was silent for a moment, and wanted to ask, knowing that I am a member of the Inspectorate, how dare you bring this matter to light?

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the two people who behaved intimately and ambiguously, his eyes darkened again, and he twirled his fingertips under the sleeves, feeling puzzled, even unbelievable.

Did Mei Geng really hand over the Northwest military power to Duke Huai?

Isn't he afraid that Duke Huai will be the first to kill him after he gains power?

Chu Luo who couldn't get in the way: "..."

Seeing the unabashed intimacy between the two, a faint light flashed in Chu Luo's eyes.

While meditating, he suddenly noticed a cold and indifferent gaze sweeping towards him. He raised his head and met the gloomy eyes in Mei Geng's eyes. Suddenly his spine felt cold, but the man smiled, "His Royal Highness Luo also apologized, my little one." Ce's injury has not healed, it's time to rest."

So His Royal Highness King Luo and Lord Lin were invited out of Xiping Palace.

Chu Luo was so angry that his face was livid, and he sneered: "A man with a broken sleeve and an Israeli servant, I want to see how long they can be arrogant."

"Yes." Lin Shuyu replied in a gentle voice, subtlety flashed across his eyes.

Israel servant?

I'm afraid it's more than that, looking at the affectionate appearance, I'm afraid it's because the two hearts are in love with each other, and their true feelings are moved.

Lin Shuyu lowered his eyes and snorted silently, full of disdain.

Sincerity, the most useless thing in the world, is also the most fatal weakness.

If you have it, you will die.

-

As soon as the two left, Mei Geng took that cool and slender hand to his lips and kissed it lightly, "Everything has been arranged, and Chu Luo will definitely be able to lie down in the mansion for ten and a half months."

"He probably doesn't know about the Luoyin Sect." Chu Ce's expression remained the same, but the tips of his ears were completely red.

Mei Geng sneered, "He also wants to be the emperor, how could he tolerate the Luoyin sect? Believe it or not, there are nine out of ten chances that he will marry the Lin family's daughter."

His Highness Duke Huai, who once married the daughter of the Lin family, was silent for a moment, "After Lin Shuyan gave birth to the prince, Chu Luo will die."

Mei Geng raised his eyebrows, "He didn't kill you in his previous life."

Chu Ce calmly said: "He wants to kill, but I won't stand still and wait for him to kill."

Although he had no affection for that woman in his previous life, since he was married, he had to be responsible, and the husband and wife lived a stable life with respect to each other as guests. There were not many concubines in the harem, and even fewer children. She was asked to poison, but before the glass of poisoned wine was handed over, she was so frightened that her hands trembled and spilled it all over the case.

After this incident, Chu Ce had already competed with Lin Shuyu secretly, and would never give him another chance.

Mei Geng heard what he meant, suppressed his smile, remained silent for a while, and then said: "Then he deserves to die even more."

He wanted to know what situation Chu Ce was in at that time, it was clearly a desperate situation.

Distressed.

That was his sweetheart since he was a child, and he was dedicated to the people, talented and generous, and he really didn't deserve to end up in such a miserable end in his previous life.

Mei Geng wished he could slap himself.

Isn't he the one who hurt Xiao Ce the most?

Unexpectedly, Chu Ce just responded with a smile: "Then you must avenge me, and you must not let anyone go."

Mei Geng met those shining eyes with a lot of love in them, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

-

Because Lin Shuyu wanted to go back to the Privy Council, Chu Luo could only go back to the house alone and be confined for three days, but was stopped in the crowded street. An assassin dressed as a commoner suddenly rushed out, claiming to be a member of the Luoyin Cult. Faint, the prince is heartless, and wants to kill Luo Wang to shock the king.

Chu Luo's guards and hidden guards fought with those so-called congregants, and the hidden guards of Xiping Palace took advantage of the water, slapped Chu Luo several times, and then fled while taking advantage of the chaos.

Chu Luo didn't know who made the move amidst the crowd. In a blink of an eye, he had several wounds on his body, and was hit by a crossbow arrow. Someone even kicked him in the crook of his leg, breaking a leg.

"Presumptuous! This king is the prince of the court, hurry up and help... ah!"

The miserable King Luo fell down on the street, in a state of distress, and the people who fled privately were in a panic, leaving a few footprints on the body of the noble King Luo of Dachu.

King Luo had never been insulted like this before, he shouted hoarsely, was injured and out of breath, and passed out.

Before the city guards arrived, the Luoyin disciples who did the fighting had long since disappeared, and those left behind had already passed away, so there was no way to trace them.

The sky is bright and the sun is wide open, so there is no way to hide this matter even if you want to hide it, but it has become a joke after dinner - I just slandered my younger brother the day before yesterday, look, isn't this a retribution?

As soon as this incident happened, there was another disturbance in the court.

King Xiping reported that Luoyin, a cult in the territory of Great Chu, spread rumors to slander the royal family, sway the hearts of the people, and intend to rebel. Then His Royal Highness Luo Wang was severely injured by the cultists. The government and the public were shocked. Assisted by Shi Tai and the Procuratorate, strict investigation is necessary.

The night is dark and cold, in Luo Wang's mansion.

The bed was covered by layers of curtains attached to the wooden dowels, and Luo Wangsen's cold and angry hoarse roar came from inside: "Check it out for me, and cut those disciples to pieces!"

"Yes." Outside the curtain, Lin Shuyu's face sank like water, and he secretly gritted his teeth.

What kind of cult, this is obviously a good thing done by the Xiping Palace.

But now the spearhead is pointing at the Luoyin Sect, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice is conducting a sweeping investigation. Since ancient times, the cult has been similar to witches and gus who hate victory. If he speaks more, he may be suspected of being listed as an accomplice!
