Rebirth Wenli Yangfulang
Chapter 24
Because of Zhou Chen'an's appearance, it seemed to confirm Yang Aixuan's words from a certain angle, Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu decided to continue to stay in Jinling City.
The hidden guards found out that Hao Dali was not suspicious, and found out that Zhou Chen'an was the one who instigated the storyteller, and also found out that Ruan Jingyuan and Lu Qiqi broke up after a secret talk.
Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu pondered over these things together, peeling away the cocoons from them.
It's not hard for them to find out that in the force established by Li Dongyi, there are people who have connections with Zhou Chen'an, and Zhou Chen'an doesn't seem to intend to deliberately conceal this matter.He appeared openly in Jinling, in front of them.
Just when the couple fell into thinking again, Li Rong came over to report: "Master and Madam, Prince Zhou is here."
"No see!" Li Chengyun wanted to beat him up, this person who was clearly coveting Luo Chengyu.
"Please forgive me, young master. We failed to stop Prince Zhou. He has already come in. He is in the front yard right now."
I won't know in a while...
Li Rong didn't dare to look up.
After all, that person is the son of Prince Huainan, and if he wants to force his way, they dare not confront him head-on.What's more, without the hidden guard's action, it is impossible for him and the two guards to stop him.
Luo Chengyu pushed Li Chengyun lightly, and said, "Hurry up and get rid of him, otherwise he might break into the backyard."
Li Chengyun pinched his fingers loudly, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Let's deal with lawlessness."
Luo Chengyu reminded him: "Anyway, it's the son of Prince Huainan, don't fight him again."
"Well, I won't take the initiative to beat him up." Zhou Chen'an couldn't blame him for asking for a beating by himself.
"Chengyu, stay in the house and don't go out, I'll come back as soon as I go."
Li Chengyun was extremely irritable when he dug the foot of the wall in front of him, and he was so blatant.
In the front yard, Zhou Chenan saw him coming, and said, "Oh, if you don't come out to entertain guests, I will go to the backyard to find you."
"I'm afraid Zhou Shizi doesn't even understand the most basic manners and morals."
"Yo, my words made the majestic King of Nanan County into a fit of anger." Zhou Chen'an said with a nonchalant smile.
Li Chengyun laughed back angrily: "What's the matter with Zhou Shizi coming today?" First Ruan Tian'er, then Zhou Chen'an, someone always came to disturb them, trying to destroy their relationship as husband and wife.
"It's rare to meet old friends, of course we have to meet often."
There was always a smile on Zhou Chen'an's lips. In Li Chengyun's view, this was a typical example of a thick skin comparable to a city wall.
Li Chengyun sneered, and stared at him with heavy eyes: "Friend? Such a sacred word, I don't know how Zhou Shizi defines it?"
"If we have friendship with each other, we are friends." Zhou Chen'an raised his eyebrows, "I have had a friendship with the county king since we were young when we rolled on the ground."
"It turns out that Zhou Shizi thinks that he is a friend if he fought when he was a child. Wouldn't fighting more strengthen this friendship?" Li Chengyun laughed, his fingers clenched.
Zhou Chenan felt his face hurt, subconsciously stepped back, and said, "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands."
"It's a friend and a gentleman, do you know that a friend's wife can't be bullied?" Li Chengyun almost gritted his teeth, and burst out the last sentence from his teeth.
Zhou Chen'an looked at him blankly, as if he was frightened by his attitude.
Li Chengyun took a deep breath, and said: "Your Majesty Zhou, this king and the concubine have already married and are very affectionate. I hope that the prince can respect himself. In the future, he must keep at least three steps away from the concubine, and he should be called the concubine respectfully, and he is not allowed to call the concubine by her name." "
Zhou Chenan came back to his senses, and sneered, "How long can your relationship last? When you get tired of him and meet someone younger and more beautiful, you will find what you said today so ridiculous."
Li Chengyun understood that this person needs to see a psychiatrist.
"It's not your turn to talk about the matter between the king and the princess. Please come back, Mr. Zhou, if you have nothing to do, don't come if you have something to do." Li Chengyun issued the order to evict the guests, not even in the mood to be perfunctory.
Zhou Chenan laughed loudly, and then said meaningfully: "The house you live in now belongs to Lu Qiqi, right? Lu Qiqi is the master behind the Qingfeng Pavilion, I don't know what the relationship between the county king and him is." ?”
Li Chengyun didn't change his face, and said indifferently: "It also has nothing to do with you."
The attitude is not tough.
"Oh, don't regret it, the king of the county."
Zhou Chenan left in a huff.
Li Chengyun returned to the backyard room, and told Luo Chengyu what happened just now.
"I didn't expect Zhou Chen'an to become like this." Luo Chengyu frowned, surprised and worried. "Cheng Yun, father's power cannot be exposed. If anyone knows and uses it, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Well, I have asked Li Qi to investigate." Li Chengyun said weakly.
When I dealt with Zhou Chen'an just now, I was so angry that I lost my strength.
Luo Chengyu went around behind him, pressed him to sit on the chair, and then squeezed his shoulders.
Li Chengyun happily enjoyed the services of his wife, and most of the unhappiness in his heart dissipated in an instant.
"Chengyu, after we find out how much Zhou Chen'an knows about Uncle Qi and the others, we will go to the next place."
"I don't think that's necessary. Zhou Chen'an's visit to Jinling was probably aimed at us. If that's the case, why should we be led by the nose instead?"
Li Chengyun pondered for a while, and then said: "It makes sense, I listen to you. Next, where do you want to go?"
"Well, let's go to Suzhou. Su Yao is full of praise for the scenery and food there."
"Why did you mention Su Yao again?" Li Chengyun muttered dissatisfiedly, there were too many potential rivals in love.
Luo Chengyu hammered him on the shoulder a little harder, "Su Yao is a nice person, don't be so prejudiced against him."
Li Chengyun curled his lips, rolled his eyes, and said, "Chengyu, we actually don't know him very well. No one can say for sure what kind of person he is."
Luo Chengyu keenly noticed the abnormality, narrowed his eyes, and asked dangerously: "Is there something you are hiding from me?"
Li Chengyun paused for a moment, then said: "He and Yan Hengrui got mixed up. Yan Hengrui is not a simple person, he and his old man Zhongyongbo are secretly doing things for the third prince."
Luo Chengyu was so surprised that he was dumbfounded, even the movement of squeezing his shoulders unconsciously stopped.
Li Chengyun pulled him in front of him, hugged him and sat on his lap, "Don't get so close to Su Yao in the future, okay?"
Luo Chengyu came back to his senses, and said slowly: "So Yan Hengrui is really not easy. As a friend, I should remind Su Yao."
Heard the word friend again...
Li Chengyun's heart was indescribable.
"But what if Su Yao informs Yan Hengrui of your reminder?"
"This..." Luo Chengyu's face was serious. If Yan Hengrui and the third prince were to investigate Li Chengyun, it would not be a good thing.
"Cheng Yun, father's power has advantages and disadvantages for us."
He even wanted to say that under the current uncontrollable situation, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
Li Chengyun also understood this truth.
"Chengyu, don't worry, I will find a way to solve it." Things gradually got out of control, he overestimated himself, Li Chengyun was under a lot of pressure, but he didn't want Luo Chengyu to worry too much.
Luo Chengyu has also been thinking about this question, "I don't know how they met their father, why did they work for him in secret?" If they can figure this out, maybe they can find an easier way to control this power.
Li Chengyun nodded, "I'll let someone check."
Luo Chengyu sighed slightly in his heart, and took the initiative to wrap his arms around Li Chengyun's neck, hugging him distressedly.
Li Chengyun also loves him very much, and at the same time he is grateful and touched, thanking him for being with him to face these things.
The next day, Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu said goodbye to the three stewards, packed their luggage and headed to Gusu City.
As soon as they left the city, Zhou Chen'an's carriage fell behind.
Li Chengyun was so angry that he wanted to beat him up again.
Luo Chengyu grabbed his wrist and shook his head at him.
Immediately, Li Chengyun hugged him aggrievedly and begged for comfort: "Chengyu, Zhou Chen'an is too deceptive."
"Don't pay attention to him, just treat him as if you don't have him." In fact, Luo Chengyu was also very angry. He didn't expect that the prince of Huainan would turn into a dog's skin plaster when he grew up.
Along the way, the couple were inseparable and regarded Zhou Chen'an as air.
Zhou Chen'an was not annoyed, he just loved to join them, and every time Li Chengyun was so angry that he wanted to do something.
No, passing by a small town, Zhou Chen'an lived in the same inn as them again.
Zhou Chenan said: "It seems that your direction is going to Suzhou, this speed is too slow."
Li Chengyun hurriedly pulled Luo Chengyu behind him, looking at him like he was guarding against a thief.
Zhou Chenan spread his hands, took the initiative to take two steps back, and sighed: "I admit defeat, okay?"
Li Chengyun was secretly proud for a moment, without revealing anything on his face, he said: "We have never won or lost, so why admit defeat?"
"Li Chengyun, how about we have a serious talk?" The light in Zhou Chen'an's eyes flickered, with an indescribable deep meaning.
"I have nothing to talk to you about."
Zhou Chen'an raised his eyebrows, "Is it okay for people to know about Lu Qiqi?"
Li Chengyun's eyes darkened, and it was frightening to say nothing.
Luo Chengyu poked Li Chengyun's back with his finger, and said, "You and Prince Zhou have a good chat, I'll go to the guest room to rest first, and you go back to the room early after you finish talking with him."
"Okay." When talking to Luo Chengyu, Li Chengyun instantly put away his coldness and became gentle and tender.
Li Chengyun watched Luo Chengyu walk into the room, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Chen'an was also staring in that direction, and instantly became angry.
"He is my concubine." Li Chengyun gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Chen'an, you are really brave."
"Your man." Zhou Chenan knew the current affairs as a hero, and was afraid that he would hurt his face again.
Li Chengyun sneered, and quickly found a convenient place to talk.
Hurry up and finish speaking, so that he can go to accompany his wife.
In the guest room, Xiao Shi reported the news to Luo Chengyu that the secret guard had found.
"When the king of Huainan was fond of women, he was forced to marry a brother. After the old prince passed away, the king of Huainan carried the women to the palace, and he was extremely cold towards the princess. However, although the king of Huainan didn't want to see her Wangfei, but she has always attached great importance to the son born to Wangfei."
Luo Chengyu nodded, seeing Zhou Chen'an's act of misbehavior... No, he has acted mischievously since he was a child, so you can guess one or two.
Xiao Shi continued to report: "Ten years ago, after the death of Princess Huainan, the King of Huainan seemed to realize how guilty he was towards the former princess, and even changed his preferences. He dismissed all the concubines who had no heirs in the mansion, and went to The ones who will be taken into the mansion afterward will be brothers."
Having said this, Xiao Ten paused, hesitating and not daring to continue.
Luo Chengyu asked, "Where's Zhou Chen'an?"
"Zhou Shizi has not yet married a regular wife." Xiao Shi lowered his head a little.
Luo Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a flat tone: "Continue talking."
"Zhou Shizi successively took four concubines, all of whom are brothers, and all of them are dead."
"Huh? What's going on?" Luo Chengyu realized that the matter seemed to be not simple, or it might have something to do with him, otherwise Xiao Shi would not have finished speaking in one go.
"Reporting to Young Madam, we haven't found out the cause of the concubine's death. However, according to a long-term worker in the Huainan Palace, Zhou Shizi's concubines were all tortured to death."
"go on."
"The secret guards who sneaked into the Huainan Palace found more than a dozen portraits in Zhou Shi's ovary. They are the portraits of the young lady every year since she was a child."
Luo Chengyu's face darkened, almost into a rage, Xiao Shi lowered his head even lower.
After calming down, Luo Chengyu felt a little unbelievable. He was only so old at that time, and he thought he had no ability to make people remember him from childhood to adulthood.
Luo Chengyu thought for a moment, then asked: "Does Chengyun know about this?"
"The young master is talking with Zhou Shizi, and I haven't had time to report it." If he hadn't gone to find Li Qi, he would not have known about it.However, since you know it, you should report it.
"Who is the person in charge of the dark guard on this trip?"
Xiao Ten hesitated for a moment, but he knew how much Li Chengyun doted on Luo Chengyu, so he replied, "It's Li Qi and Li Chu who are responsible."
"Go get them."
"Young madam, Master Li Chu has long been sent out by the young master to carry out missions, and now only Master Li Qi has been following."
"Then go and call Li Qi over."
"Yes."
After a while, Li Qi came.
"Subordinate Li Qi sees the Young Madam."
"Li Qi, you avoid Cheng Yun, and report Zhou Chen'an's matter to me first through Xiao Shi. Let's talk about it, there is nothing else to say."
Some cold sweat broke out on Li Qi's back, there was a smart princess who didn't know whether it was good or bad.
"This subordinate played tricks in front of Young Madam, please forgive me, Young Madam."
"It's okay, you just talk about things."
"Reporting to Young Madam, the dark guard saw Gu Nan in the Huainan Palace."
"What did you say?" Luo Chengyu's eyes widened in surprise, "How is this possible?"
"Young madam, my subordinates have sent an urgent letter to ask those who stay in the capital to check. Gu Nan is not in the capital."
Luo Chengyu supported his forehead and sighed secretly, the unexpected things happened to him one after another these days.
After a while, he said: "Destroy all those portraits, and be careful not to expose them."
"Yes."
"Go on, I'll tell Cheng Yun about this."
"Yes, my subordinates retire."
Mu Sheng and Cai Ling fetched hot water and brought it in, Luo Chengyu washed and lay down on the bed to rest.
So, when Li Chengyun returned to the guest room, Mu Sheng whispered outside the door: "Young Master, Young Madam has already rested."
Li Chengyun nodded his head slightly, pushed the door lightly and went in, and walked lightly to the bed.
He slowly sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Luo Chengyu's sleeping face in a trance.
Zhou Chen'an said that when he came to Beijing when he was young, the nurse next to him told him that Luo Chengyu looked a lot like his father and concubine when he was young, that's why he went to provoke him, deliberately snatched his hairpin, and deliberately made him cry.
He also said that now Luo Chengyu is more like his father and concubine, and his father cannot be allowed to see Luo Chengyu.
Obviously they came out for their honeymoon, but troubles continued one after another.
Li Chengyun also felt tired, he lay down next to Luo Chengyu with his clothes on, and slowly closed his eyes to rest.
Traveling to another world inexplicably, if he hadn't been accompanied by this person by his side, he might have already collapsed mentally.
Before falling asleep, Li Chengyun thought in a daze: I wonder if one day he will suddenly return to modern times, or all this is just a dream of his.However, what would he do without Luo Chengyu?
This time, Li Chengyun slept deeply and for a long time, and when he woke up, it was already the end of the next day.
Luo Chengyu was fully dressed, sitting by the bed and quietly reading a book.
Li Chengyun opened his eyes and saw the delicate profile of his daughter-in-law, his heart was instantly filled with love.
"Cheng Yu."
"You're awake." Luo Chengyu put the book on the dressing table next to him, and approached him with a distressed face, "Are you too tired recently?"
Li Chengyun sat up and kissed the corner of his lips lightly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Luo Chengyu heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile in his eyes, then flattened his mouth, and said in disgust, "Hurry up and wash up."
"Yes, daughter-in-law."
Afterwards, Li Chengyun changed his clothes and washed, while Luo Chengyu was watching directly beside him.
Feeling his wife's scorching gaze, Li Chengyun slightly curled the corners of his mouth, deliberately showing him his best side, like a male peacock spreading its tail.
Luo Chengyu blushed slightly, waited for him to wash up before eating some food with him, and then suddenly said seriously: "Cheng Yun, I have something to talk to you alone."
Li Chengyun was startled slightly, and hurriedly waved back and forth.
Mu Sheng closed the door from the outside, and guarded the door with Li Rong.
Li Chengyun held both of Luo Chengyu's hands in his hand, wrapping his big hand around his small hand, and said softly, "What do you want to say to me?"
Luo Chengyu paused, and said slowly: "Yesterday when you were talking to Zhou Chen'an, Li Qi reported to me what they found."
Hearing this, Li Chengyun couldn't help being stunned again.
Luo Chengyu recounted the matter, while observing the changes in Li Chengyun's expression.
Li Chengyun was also paying attention to his expression all the time.
"It seems that Zhou Chen'an probably didn't lie to me about you."
"Huh? He actually confessed to you?"
"If my judgment is not wrong, he should have become a little distorted because of his father's affairs. At the same time, he is also pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and deliberately indulges himself to do whatever he wants." Even though Zhou Chen'an confessed and lenient, Li Chengyun was still very tired of him .
"Where are Uncle Gu Nan and Uncle Seven?"
"Uncle Gu Nan, after we return to Beijing, I'll ask him face to face. As for Uncle Qi and the others, Zhou Chen'an seems to only know that Uncle Qi is the master behind the Qingfeng Pavilion."
"Is it believable?"
"Half-believing, waiting to be verified."
Luo Chengyu hooked his neck with both hands, distressed in his eyes, "Chengyun, we have only had contact with them so far, let them look for his father's old department, even if the emperor knows about it, he can explain it." He said that because he wanted to Let Li Chengyun relax and don't put too much pressure on himself.
"Well," Li Chengyun smiled, "I understand."
That afternoon, Lu Qiqi sent a message.
There is a personal guard named Xiong Lie in Wujin County.
So, Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu continued their journey to Suzhou.
When passing through Wujin County, Li Chengyun and Li Qi quietly left the inn in the dark and went to Xiong Lie's home.
After Xiong Lie learned of Li Chengyun's identity, he was taken aback, and then his mouth was red with excitement, and he said, "My lord, you are finally here."
Li Chengyun was surprised for a moment, this personal guard was expecting him to come to him.
With a bang, Xiong Lie suddenly knelt down in front of Li Chengyun, his eyes flushed. "My lord, the general died unjustly."
"Tell me what you know." Li Chengyun's voice was very calm, and he had already expected such a situation.Liu Yiyang was right, there might be something strange about his father's death.
"The general died of poisoning."
"Go on." Li Chengyun was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"The general's right shoulder was scratched by a cluster of arrows. It looks like a small wound, but it is actually poisonous. The wound has a very fine white color. I once heard an old doctor say that not all poisons will turn black and purple. Some will turn white, so that people can't see the poisoning."
Li Chengyun personally helped him up and asked, "Have you told anyone else?"
"I told the military division. The military division asked me to retire early and go home. Unless you personally come to me, the prince, you will never say anything."
"What kind of person is a military division?"
"The military adviser's surname is You, and his name is You Ziyu. The military adviser is extremely smart, strategizing, and extremely loyal to the general. The general is his life-saving benefactor."
"Do you know where the military division is now?" The dark guard is still looking for the whereabouts of the military division and the two lieutenants, and those three people seem to have evaporated from the world.However, looking for the three of them, Li Chengyun dared not use others.
"I heard from the military division that the army retired before returning to the court, so I don't know where the military division went. But I remember that the military division is from Shanxi."
Li Chengyun nodded, "Thank you for telling me this, and thank you for remembering your late father for so many years."
Immediately, tears filled Xiong Lie's eyes, "My lord, please avenge the general's grievances, and please take care of yourself."
After leaving Xiong Lie's house, Li Chengyun looked up at the starry night sky and murmured: "Tomorrow will be a good day again."
Li Qi could tell that his master was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he reminded him in a low voice: "Master, Young Madam is still at the inn."
Li Chengyun quickened his pace and returned to the inn.
He took off his shirt in the dark, quietly walked to the bed and lay down.Luo Chengyu immediately got into his arms.
"Didn't fall asleep?"
"I'm waiting for you. I'm not used to it without you by my side."
Li Chengyun's heart softened, he hugged him and turned around, and began to kiss him carefully.Luo Chengyu responded enthusiastically.
The next day, both of them stayed in bed.
Luo Chengyu lay in Li Chengyun's arms and asked: "I found that personal guard last night, did he say anything?"
"He said my father died of poisoning."
"Didn't you hit the heart with an arrow, why did you get poisoned again?"
"Perhaps the arrow was also hit, and the poison was also hit." Li Chengyun felt terrified, and he was still powerless.
Luo Chengyu raised her head and kissed him on the chin, "I'll find out."
"I'm afraid we still need to find out the military advisor and deputy general as soon as possible." Li Chengyun had a headache, "Those three people are too good at hiding, and my people have no clue so far."
"After all, they are military advisers and lieutenants. If they want to hide their identities, they must be more careful and cautious." Luo Chengyu put his head on his neck and rubbed it lightly, "Don't worry, at worst, check slowly."
"Well, my father has passed away for so many years, so I'm not in a hurry." Li Chengyun comforted himself, and at the same time told Luo Chengyu not to worry too much about him.
At this time, there was a heavy knock on the door.
Zhou Chen'an shouted from outside the door: "What time is it, why are you still not getting up!"
Mu Sheng and Cai Ling looked at Zhou Chen'an angrily, trying to stop but couldn't.
Zhou Chen'an's eyes suddenly fell on Mu Sheng, he curled his lips into a smile, and said, "Why didn't I realize that Cheng Yu still has such a beautiful servant."
Li Chengyun hurriedly opened the door with disheveled clothes, squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "What do you call Wangfei? Also, this is Wangfei's servant, don't get his ideas."
Mu Sheng and Cai Ling hurried into the room to serve, Li Chengyun fastened his belt in a calm manner.
"Zhou Chen'an, don't think that I really dare not touch you."
After the words fell, he closed the door.
Zhou Chen'an stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and returned to his guest room without saying a word.
In the afternoon, Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu set off again.
When the carriage was approaching the city gate, there was a sudden noise.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!" The surrounding people hurried to help put out the fire.
Li Chengyun lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the place where the flames were soaring into the sky, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ordered: "Go and see, where is that?"
Not long after, Li Qi came back and reported: "Master, it's Xiong Lie's house that caught fire."
Suddenly, Li Chengyun's face turned pale, followed by boundless anger.
Luo Chengyu subconsciously grabbed one of his wrists and looked at him worriedly.
The fire was gradually extinguished, but the occupants of the house were already dead.
After a long time, Li Chengyun said: "Let's go."
The carriage continued out of the city and headed to the next place.Luo Chengyu hugged Li Chengyun tightly, comforting him silently.
In the carriage following them, Zhou Chenan frowned, and ordered: "Go and find out who's house is on fire." He actually made Li Chengyun wait until the fire was extinguished before leaving.
After arriving in Suzhou, Zhou Chen'an still stayed by Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu's side, appearing in front of them from time to time.
Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu only cared about playing without distractions, which made Zhou Chen'an suspicious.
When Zhou Chen'an saw Li Chengyun feeding Luo Chengyu intimately again, he stood in front of them.
"When we left Wujin, a house was on fire. The person who was burned to death at home had been a soldier, and he had been General Li's personal guard."
"Really? I didn't expect Zhou Shizi to check this on purpose. Thank you for telling me, I will send someone to deal with that person's affairs." Li Chengyun said indifferently, without even giving him a straight look, and continued to feed Luo Chengyu eat.
Luo Chengyu squinted her eyes to enjoy his feeding, a bit like a lazy cat.
Zhou Chen'an seemed to have punched the cotton with a fist, and seeing the two people being intimate in front of his eyes every day, he turned around and left angrily.
Li Chengyun muttered: "I don't know why, I finally left."
Luo Chengyu chuckled, and then said, "We should go too."
Obviously not in the mood to play, but in order to avoid suspicion, they had to pretend to be in a good mood, which made them even more physically and mentally exhausted.
It was night, and the secret guard who was investigating the cause of Xiong Lie's death came back to report. The person who killed Xiong Lie was Lu Qiqi's men.
Li Chengyun stayed up almost all night, pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a letter to send to Lu Qiqi.
After that, he stayed in Suzhou and waited for Lu Qiqi to come over.
The Qingfeng Pavilion in Suzhou City is located by the Pingjiang River, rich and elegant.
Li Chengyun walked into the backyard from the back door alone, and the long worker guarding the back door invited him into a room.
"My subordinates see the prince, please take a seat." Lu Qiqi did not get up to salute, but made tea while talking.
Li Chengyun narrowed his eyes dangerously, his expressionless face could stop a child from crying.
Lu Qiqi offered hot tea without changing his face, and said lightly: "I know that the prince has many doubts in his heart, and even suspects that I have betrayed the general and betrayed the prince."
"Does Seventh Uncle plan to explain this to the King?"
"My lord, no one can be more loyal to the general than I am."
"So loyal that you want to kill his old department?"
Lu Qiqi took a small sip from his teacup, and said slowly: "The fact that the general was poisoned and died, no matter whether it is true or not, should not be known by others now." Only the dead can keep secrets.
Li Chengyun tightly squeezed the hand holding the cup, only complaining that he is too weak now, and there is nothing he can do about them for the time being.
"My lord, those who do great things must avoid the benevolence of women. The general was killed because he was too kind. You are his only child and you cannot follow in his footsteps."
"This king respectfully calls you Seventh Uncle, but it doesn't mean that you can dictate to me." These people claimed to be subordinates, but they didn't actually recognize him as the master.
Lu Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, the louder and louder he laughed until tears came out.
Li Chengyun's face became darker and darker, and his anger was on the verge of breaking out.
"It's my subordinate who overstepped." Lu Qiqi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and gradually restrained his smile.
Li Chengyun said in a deep voice: "If you are still loyal to your late father, then you should stop arbitrarily arguing about his affairs."
Lu Qiqi chuckled softly: "I'm afraid it won't work."
The two gazes met in the air, and sparks seemed to be ignited instantly, just like the blazing fire in Xiong Lie's house that day.
Li Chengyun pondered for a moment, then slowed down and said: "Uncle Seven, I will avenge my father's revenge myself."
"It's very good for the prince to have such an idea." Lu Qiqi smiled softly, "The general's revenge should be avenged by the prince, and I will only assist from the side."
"In the matter of avenging my father, I hope that no one will interfere, and don't make up my mind to ruin my plan."
"May I ask what your lord's plan is?"
"When it's time for you to know, I will let you know."
Lu Qiqi frowned imperceptibly, as if he was thinking about the credibility of his words, whether he really had a plan, or used this as an excuse to stop himself.
"This subordinate has the courage to ask the prince again."
"You said."
"In the prince's plan, how long will it take to avenge the general?"
"Three years."
"Why wait three years?"
"According to my estimation, the king of the Southwest will be rebelled within three years. Then it will be my chance to seize military power. My father was killed in a war, and he will eventually go deep into the army." Li Chengyun's eyes are serious and firm, and his words are seven parts true and three parts false .
Lu Qiqi stared at him closely. He thought he had seen countless people, but he didn't see guilt and hesitation in Li Chengyun's eyes, so he already believed him a little. "Anyway, I have been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about waiting for another three years."
"Exactly," Li Chengyun nodded without changing his expression. "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
Lu Qiqi thought for a moment, then said: "My lord, I can assure you that in the next three years, I won't do anything without permission and wait for my lord's orders."
"So, very good." Li Chengyun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and finally stabilized him first.
Lu Qiqi added: "However, if the prince cannot avenge the general within three years, please forgive me for continuing to use my own methods."
Li Chengyun paused, and then said: "Okay."
After the two reached an agreement on this matter, Lu Qiqi said with a shallow smile: "I was worried that the prince would trust us, but now it seems that I worried too much."
Li Chengyun couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Oh? So you really can't be trusted?"
"I am absolutely loyal to the general. After the general passes away, I am loyal to the prince. However, Ruan Jingyuan and Yang Aixuan may not be."
"How do you explain this?"
"Ruan Jingyuan is in charge of money and food, how many people can resist the temptation of A Duwu? Oh, but the prince doesn't have to worry, his subordinates have sent someone to watch him. As for Yang Aixuan, a martial idiot, he thinks he is smart, but he is actually caught by the little boy around him. People play around. When I expose the silverfish around him, I will read his jokes and make fun of him.”
Hearing this, Li Chengyun had nothing to say for a while.
Lu Qiqi said again: "Does the lord still want to know about the Huainan king?"
"what do you know?"
"Father Huainan Prince and his son are mad one by one, but their strength is only increasing. Maybe they will rebel within three years, not only the Southwest King. I have planted a hidden stake in the Huainan Palace. If the prince leads the army to quell the rebellion, then I can help Your Majesty will help you."
Li Chengyun nodded, but remembered another thing.
Seeing that his face was still solemn, Lu Qiqi chuckled lightly, and said, "The room of Prince Huainan's son caught fire, and it has been found out that it was caused by an old friend of a concubine who died before."
Li Chengyun had to admit: "Your abilities are stronger than I thought."
"Thank you, Lord, for your compliment." Lu Qiqi smiled wantonly, very heartily.
Li Chengyun didn't stay any longer, left through the back door, and returned to the inn where he was staying.
The next day, when Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu were having breakfast, Zhou Chen'an came over again, looking at them patiently.
"Last night, someone saw a person who looked very similar to the county king near Hualou. It happened that when my attendants woke up at night, they saw the county king coming back from the outside alone, with a faint smell of powder on his body."
Li Chengyun said angrily: "What are you doing with Zhou Shizi?"
When he went back to the inn last night, he found someone following him, so he deliberately detoured a few streets, and indeed passed by Hualou, the girl at the gate of Hualou came to give him a hand.As soon as he returned to the inn, he changed his clothes and told Luo Chengyu everything without any concealment.
"Cheng...Princess, aren't you curious about the relationship between the man who visits the flower building and the king of the county?"
"My prince is right, it has nothing to do with Zhou Shizi."
Zhou Chenan's smile froze on his face, he heheed several times, and then said: "Princess, if one day you find out that the county king betrayed you, you can ask someone to send me a letter."
"It's really a wicked heart." Li Chengyun was furious, and fought violently.
Already already irritated by the affairs of Li Dongyi's old department, Zhou Chen'an came to poach the wall face to face, Li Chengyun couldn't bear it.
Luo Chengyu calmly ate the last shrimp dumpling, went back to the guest room, and ordered Mu Sheng and others to pack their bags and prepare to leave.
As for the fighters, there was a huge disparity in strength, Zhou Chen'an conceded defeat again.
He spat, put his hands on his chest, and said angrily, "Why are you hitting me on my chest? If something happens to me, you won't even want to live."
Li Chengyun casually smiled: "If you die in the front, you will not be able to care about the things that follow."
Zhou Chen'an held back a mouthful of old blood, and looked at him furiously.
Li Chengyun laughed and said: "Who is the person who should be angry? Zhou Chen'an, you don't even understand the most basic ethics."
At this time, the doctor that Zhou Chenan's entourage ran to invite came over, they went into the room to see the wound, and Li Chengyun went back to the guest room.
Luo Chengyu patted the invisible dust on his body for him, and said: "Zhou Chen'an is a little crazy, his mind is abnormal, don't get angry with him, and get angry with yourself."
Hearing his wife describe Zhou Chen'an in this way, Li Chengyun chuckled and said, "You're right, he's just out of his mind and a masochist. I won't be angry because of him. I fought with him because he came to give me I vent my anger." These days, Li Chengyun has accumulated a lot of negative emotions, and he just used this to vent.
Luo Chengyu shook his head helplessly and laughed, and then said: "I have asked Mu Sheng and the others to pack their things, and they can leave at any time."
Li Chengyun nodded: "It happens that Zhou Chen'an is watching the injury, let's leave quickly, so as not to be stuck with him again."
Luo Chengyu smiled, and deliberately reminded him: "Don't forget his followers. As soon as we set off, the followers will know."
Li Chengyun bared his teeth.
"We go straight back to Beijing all the way, if he wants to follow, let him continue
The hidden guards found out that Hao Dali was not suspicious, and found out that Zhou Chen'an was the one who instigated the storyteller, and also found out that Ruan Jingyuan and Lu Qiqi broke up after a secret talk.
Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu pondered over these things together, peeling away the cocoons from them.
It's not hard for them to find out that in the force established by Li Dongyi, there are people who have connections with Zhou Chen'an, and Zhou Chen'an doesn't seem to intend to deliberately conceal this matter.He appeared openly in Jinling, in front of them.
Just when the couple fell into thinking again, Li Rong came over to report: "Master and Madam, Prince Zhou is here."
"No see!" Li Chengyun wanted to beat him up, this person who was clearly coveting Luo Chengyu.
"Please forgive me, young master. We failed to stop Prince Zhou. He has already come in. He is in the front yard right now."
I won't know in a while...
Li Rong didn't dare to look up.
After all, that person is the son of Prince Huainan, and if he wants to force his way, they dare not confront him head-on.What's more, without the hidden guard's action, it is impossible for him and the two guards to stop him.
Luo Chengyu pushed Li Chengyun lightly, and said, "Hurry up and get rid of him, otherwise he might break into the backyard."
Li Chengyun pinched his fingers loudly, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Let's deal with lawlessness."
Luo Chengyu reminded him: "Anyway, it's the son of Prince Huainan, don't fight him again."
"Well, I won't take the initiative to beat him up." Zhou Chen'an couldn't blame him for asking for a beating by himself.
"Chengyu, stay in the house and don't go out, I'll come back as soon as I go."
Li Chengyun was extremely irritable when he dug the foot of the wall in front of him, and he was so blatant.
In the front yard, Zhou Chenan saw him coming, and said, "Oh, if you don't come out to entertain guests, I will go to the backyard to find you."
"I'm afraid Zhou Shizi doesn't even understand the most basic manners and morals."
"Yo, my words made the majestic King of Nanan County into a fit of anger." Zhou Chen'an said with a nonchalant smile.
Li Chengyun laughed back angrily: "What's the matter with Zhou Shizi coming today?" First Ruan Tian'er, then Zhou Chen'an, someone always came to disturb them, trying to destroy their relationship as husband and wife.
"It's rare to meet old friends, of course we have to meet often."
There was always a smile on Zhou Chen'an's lips. In Li Chengyun's view, this was a typical example of a thick skin comparable to a city wall.
Li Chengyun sneered, and stared at him with heavy eyes: "Friend? Such a sacred word, I don't know how Zhou Shizi defines it?"
"If we have friendship with each other, we are friends." Zhou Chen'an raised his eyebrows, "I have had a friendship with the county king since we were young when we rolled on the ground."
"It turns out that Zhou Shizi thinks that he is a friend if he fought when he was a child. Wouldn't fighting more strengthen this friendship?" Li Chengyun laughed, his fingers clenched.
Zhou Chenan felt his face hurt, subconsciously stepped back, and said, "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands."
"It's a friend and a gentleman, do you know that a friend's wife can't be bullied?" Li Chengyun almost gritted his teeth, and burst out the last sentence from his teeth.
Zhou Chen'an looked at him blankly, as if he was frightened by his attitude.
Li Chengyun took a deep breath, and said: "Your Majesty Zhou, this king and the concubine have already married and are very affectionate. I hope that the prince can respect himself. In the future, he must keep at least three steps away from the concubine, and he should be called the concubine respectfully, and he is not allowed to call the concubine by her name." "
Zhou Chenan came back to his senses, and sneered, "How long can your relationship last? When you get tired of him and meet someone younger and more beautiful, you will find what you said today so ridiculous."
Li Chengyun understood that this person needs to see a psychiatrist.
"It's not your turn to talk about the matter between the king and the princess. Please come back, Mr. Zhou, if you have nothing to do, don't come if you have something to do." Li Chengyun issued the order to evict the guests, not even in the mood to be perfunctory.
Zhou Chenan laughed loudly, and then said meaningfully: "The house you live in now belongs to Lu Qiqi, right? Lu Qiqi is the master behind the Qingfeng Pavilion, I don't know what the relationship between the county king and him is." ?”
Li Chengyun didn't change his face, and said indifferently: "It also has nothing to do with you."
The attitude is not tough.
"Oh, don't regret it, the king of the county."
Zhou Chenan left in a huff.
Li Chengyun returned to the backyard room, and told Luo Chengyu what happened just now.
"I didn't expect Zhou Chen'an to become like this." Luo Chengyu frowned, surprised and worried. "Cheng Yun, father's power cannot be exposed. If anyone knows and uses it, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Well, I have asked Li Qi to investigate." Li Chengyun said weakly.
When I dealt with Zhou Chen'an just now, I was so angry that I lost my strength.
Luo Chengyu went around behind him, pressed him to sit on the chair, and then squeezed his shoulders.
Li Chengyun happily enjoyed the services of his wife, and most of the unhappiness in his heart dissipated in an instant.
"Chengyu, after we find out how much Zhou Chen'an knows about Uncle Qi and the others, we will go to the next place."
"I don't think that's necessary. Zhou Chen'an's visit to Jinling was probably aimed at us. If that's the case, why should we be led by the nose instead?"
Li Chengyun pondered for a while, and then said: "It makes sense, I listen to you. Next, where do you want to go?"
"Well, let's go to Suzhou. Su Yao is full of praise for the scenery and food there."
"Why did you mention Su Yao again?" Li Chengyun muttered dissatisfiedly, there were too many potential rivals in love.
Luo Chengyu hammered him on the shoulder a little harder, "Su Yao is a nice person, don't be so prejudiced against him."
Li Chengyun curled his lips, rolled his eyes, and said, "Chengyu, we actually don't know him very well. No one can say for sure what kind of person he is."
Luo Chengyu keenly noticed the abnormality, narrowed his eyes, and asked dangerously: "Is there something you are hiding from me?"
Li Chengyun paused for a moment, then said: "He and Yan Hengrui got mixed up. Yan Hengrui is not a simple person, he and his old man Zhongyongbo are secretly doing things for the third prince."
Luo Chengyu was so surprised that he was dumbfounded, even the movement of squeezing his shoulders unconsciously stopped.
Li Chengyun pulled him in front of him, hugged him and sat on his lap, "Don't get so close to Su Yao in the future, okay?"
Luo Chengyu came back to his senses, and said slowly: "So Yan Hengrui is really not easy. As a friend, I should remind Su Yao."
Heard the word friend again...
Li Chengyun's heart was indescribable.
"But what if Su Yao informs Yan Hengrui of your reminder?"
"This..." Luo Chengyu's face was serious. If Yan Hengrui and the third prince were to investigate Li Chengyun, it would not be a good thing.
"Cheng Yun, father's power has advantages and disadvantages for us."
He even wanted to say that under the current uncontrollable situation, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
Li Chengyun also understood this truth.
"Chengyu, don't worry, I will find a way to solve it." Things gradually got out of control, he overestimated himself, Li Chengyun was under a lot of pressure, but he didn't want Luo Chengyu to worry too much.
Luo Chengyu has also been thinking about this question, "I don't know how they met their father, why did they work for him in secret?" If they can figure this out, maybe they can find an easier way to control this power.
Li Chengyun nodded, "I'll let someone check."
Luo Chengyu sighed slightly in his heart, and took the initiative to wrap his arms around Li Chengyun's neck, hugging him distressedly.
Li Chengyun also loves him very much, and at the same time he is grateful and touched, thanking him for being with him to face these things.
The next day, Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu said goodbye to the three stewards, packed their luggage and headed to Gusu City.
As soon as they left the city, Zhou Chen'an's carriage fell behind.
Li Chengyun was so angry that he wanted to beat him up again.
Luo Chengyu grabbed his wrist and shook his head at him.
Immediately, Li Chengyun hugged him aggrievedly and begged for comfort: "Chengyu, Zhou Chen'an is too deceptive."
"Don't pay attention to him, just treat him as if you don't have him." In fact, Luo Chengyu was also very angry. He didn't expect that the prince of Huainan would turn into a dog's skin plaster when he grew up.
Along the way, the couple were inseparable and regarded Zhou Chen'an as air.
Zhou Chen'an was not annoyed, he just loved to join them, and every time Li Chengyun was so angry that he wanted to do something.
No, passing by a small town, Zhou Chen'an lived in the same inn as them again.
Zhou Chenan said: "It seems that your direction is going to Suzhou, this speed is too slow."
Li Chengyun hurriedly pulled Luo Chengyu behind him, looking at him like he was guarding against a thief.
Zhou Chenan spread his hands, took the initiative to take two steps back, and sighed: "I admit defeat, okay?"
Li Chengyun was secretly proud for a moment, without revealing anything on his face, he said: "We have never won or lost, so why admit defeat?"
"Li Chengyun, how about we have a serious talk?" The light in Zhou Chen'an's eyes flickered, with an indescribable deep meaning.
"I have nothing to talk to you about."
Zhou Chen'an raised his eyebrows, "Is it okay for people to know about Lu Qiqi?"
Li Chengyun's eyes darkened, and it was frightening to say nothing.
Luo Chengyu poked Li Chengyun's back with his finger, and said, "You and Prince Zhou have a good chat, I'll go to the guest room to rest first, and you go back to the room early after you finish talking with him."
"Okay." When talking to Luo Chengyu, Li Chengyun instantly put away his coldness and became gentle and tender.
Li Chengyun watched Luo Chengyu walk into the room, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Chen'an was also staring in that direction, and instantly became angry.
"He is my concubine." Li Chengyun gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Chen'an, you are really brave."
"Your man." Zhou Chenan knew the current affairs as a hero, and was afraid that he would hurt his face again.
Li Chengyun sneered, and quickly found a convenient place to talk.
Hurry up and finish speaking, so that he can go to accompany his wife.
In the guest room, Xiao Shi reported the news to Luo Chengyu that the secret guard had found.
"When the king of Huainan was fond of women, he was forced to marry a brother. After the old prince passed away, the king of Huainan carried the women to the palace, and he was extremely cold towards the princess. However, although the king of Huainan didn't want to see her Wangfei, but she has always attached great importance to the son born to Wangfei."
Luo Chengyu nodded, seeing Zhou Chen'an's act of misbehavior... No, he has acted mischievously since he was a child, so you can guess one or two.
Xiao Shi continued to report: "Ten years ago, after the death of Princess Huainan, the King of Huainan seemed to realize how guilty he was towards the former princess, and even changed his preferences. He dismissed all the concubines who had no heirs in the mansion, and went to The ones who will be taken into the mansion afterward will be brothers."
Having said this, Xiao Ten paused, hesitating and not daring to continue.
Luo Chengyu asked, "Where's Zhou Chen'an?"
"Zhou Shizi has not yet married a regular wife." Xiao Shi lowered his head a little.
Luo Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a flat tone: "Continue talking."
"Zhou Shizi successively took four concubines, all of whom are brothers, and all of them are dead."
"Huh? What's going on?" Luo Chengyu realized that the matter seemed to be not simple, or it might have something to do with him, otherwise Xiao Shi would not have finished speaking in one go.
"Reporting to Young Madam, we haven't found out the cause of the concubine's death. However, according to a long-term worker in the Huainan Palace, Zhou Shizi's concubines were all tortured to death."
"go on."
"The secret guards who sneaked into the Huainan Palace found more than a dozen portraits in Zhou Shi's ovary. They are the portraits of the young lady every year since she was a child."
Luo Chengyu's face darkened, almost into a rage, Xiao Shi lowered his head even lower.
After calming down, Luo Chengyu felt a little unbelievable. He was only so old at that time, and he thought he had no ability to make people remember him from childhood to adulthood.
Luo Chengyu thought for a moment, then asked: "Does Chengyun know about this?"
"The young master is talking with Zhou Shizi, and I haven't had time to report it." If he hadn't gone to find Li Qi, he would not have known about it.However, since you know it, you should report it.
"Who is the person in charge of the dark guard on this trip?"
Xiao Ten hesitated for a moment, but he knew how much Li Chengyun doted on Luo Chengyu, so he replied, "It's Li Qi and Li Chu who are responsible."
"Go get them."
"Young madam, Master Li Chu has long been sent out by the young master to carry out missions, and now only Master Li Qi has been following."
"Then go and call Li Qi over."
"Yes."
After a while, Li Qi came.
"Subordinate Li Qi sees the Young Madam."
"Li Qi, you avoid Cheng Yun, and report Zhou Chen'an's matter to me first through Xiao Shi. Let's talk about it, there is nothing else to say."
Some cold sweat broke out on Li Qi's back, there was a smart princess who didn't know whether it was good or bad.
"This subordinate played tricks in front of Young Madam, please forgive me, Young Madam."
"It's okay, you just talk about things."
"Reporting to Young Madam, the dark guard saw Gu Nan in the Huainan Palace."
"What did you say?" Luo Chengyu's eyes widened in surprise, "How is this possible?"
"Young madam, my subordinates have sent an urgent letter to ask those who stay in the capital to check. Gu Nan is not in the capital."
Luo Chengyu supported his forehead and sighed secretly, the unexpected things happened to him one after another these days.
After a while, he said: "Destroy all those portraits, and be careful not to expose them."
"Yes."
"Go on, I'll tell Cheng Yun about this."
"Yes, my subordinates retire."
Mu Sheng and Cai Ling fetched hot water and brought it in, Luo Chengyu washed and lay down on the bed to rest.
So, when Li Chengyun returned to the guest room, Mu Sheng whispered outside the door: "Young Master, Young Madam has already rested."
Li Chengyun nodded his head slightly, pushed the door lightly and went in, and walked lightly to the bed.
He slowly sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Luo Chengyu's sleeping face in a trance.
Zhou Chen'an said that when he came to Beijing when he was young, the nurse next to him told him that Luo Chengyu looked a lot like his father and concubine when he was young, that's why he went to provoke him, deliberately snatched his hairpin, and deliberately made him cry.
He also said that now Luo Chengyu is more like his father and concubine, and his father cannot be allowed to see Luo Chengyu.
Obviously they came out for their honeymoon, but troubles continued one after another.
Li Chengyun also felt tired, he lay down next to Luo Chengyu with his clothes on, and slowly closed his eyes to rest.
Traveling to another world inexplicably, if he hadn't been accompanied by this person by his side, he might have already collapsed mentally.
Before falling asleep, Li Chengyun thought in a daze: I wonder if one day he will suddenly return to modern times, or all this is just a dream of his.However, what would he do without Luo Chengyu?
This time, Li Chengyun slept deeply and for a long time, and when he woke up, it was already the end of the next day.
Luo Chengyu was fully dressed, sitting by the bed and quietly reading a book.
Li Chengyun opened his eyes and saw the delicate profile of his daughter-in-law, his heart was instantly filled with love.
"Cheng Yu."
"You're awake." Luo Chengyu put the book on the dressing table next to him, and approached him with a distressed face, "Are you too tired recently?"
Li Chengyun sat up and kissed the corner of his lips lightly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Luo Chengyu heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile in his eyes, then flattened his mouth, and said in disgust, "Hurry up and wash up."
"Yes, daughter-in-law."
Afterwards, Li Chengyun changed his clothes and washed, while Luo Chengyu was watching directly beside him.
Feeling his wife's scorching gaze, Li Chengyun slightly curled the corners of his mouth, deliberately showing him his best side, like a male peacock spreading its tail.
Luo Chengyu blushed slightly, waited for him to wash up before eating some food with him, and then suddenly said seriously: "Cheng Yun, I have something to talk to you alone."
Li Chengyun was startled slightly, and hurriedly waved back and forth.
Mu Sheng closed the door from the outside, and guarded the door with Li Rong.
Li Chengyun held both of Luo Chengyu's hands in his hand, wrapping his big hand around his small hand, and said softly, "What do you want to say to me?"
Luo Chengyu paused, and said slowly: "Yesterday when you were talking to Zhou Chen'an, Li Qi reported to me what they found."
Hearing this, Li Chengyun couldn't help being stunned again.
Luo Chengyu recounted the matter, while observing the changes in Li Chengyun's expression.
Li Chengyun was also paying attention to his expression all the time.
"It seems that Zhou Chen'an probably didn't lie to me about you."
"Huh? He actually confessed to you?"
"If my judgment is not wrong, he should have become a little distorted because of his father's affairs. At the same time, he is also pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and deliberately indulges himself to do whatever he wants." Even though Zhou Chen'an confessed and lenient, Li Chengyun was still very tired of him .
"Where are Uncle Gu Nan and Uncle Seven?"
"Uncle Gu Nan, after we return to Beijing, I'll ask him face to face. As for Uncle Qi and the others, Zhou Chen'an seems to only know that Uncle Qi is the master behind the Qingfeng Pavilion."
"Is it believable?"
"Half-believing, waiting to be verified."
Luo Chengyu hooked his neck with both hands, distressed in his eyes, "Chengyun, we have only had contact with them so far, let them look for his father's old department, even if the emperor knows about it, he can explain it." He said that because he wanted to Let Li Chengyun relax and don't put too much pressure on himself.
"Well," Li Chengyun smiled, "I understand."
That afternoon, Lu Qiqi sent a message.
There is a personal guard named Xiong Lie in Wujin County.
So, Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu continued their journey to Suzhou.
When passing through Wujin County, Li Chengyun and Li Qi quietly left the inn in the dark and went to Xiong Lie's home.
After Xiong Lie learned of Li Chengyun's identity, he was taken aback, and then his mouth was red with excitement, and he said, "My lord, you are finally here."
Li Chengyun was surprised for a moment, this personal guard was expecting him to come to him.
With a bang, Xiong Lie suddenly knelt down in front of Li Chengyun, his eyes flushed. "My lord, the general died unjustly."
"Tell me what you know." Li Chengyun's voice was very calm, and he had already expected such a situation.Liu Yiyang was right, there might be something strange about his father's death.
"The general died of poisoning."
"Go on." Li Chengyun was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"The general's right shoulder was scratched by a cluster of arrows. It looks like a small wound, but it is actually poisonous. The wound has a very fine white color. I once heard an old doctor say that not all poisons will turn black and purple. Some will turn white, so that people can't see the poisoning."
Li Chengyun personally helped him up and asked, "Have you told anyone else?"
"I told the military division. The military division asked me to retire early and go home. Unless you personally come to me, the prince, you will never say anything."
"What kind of person is a military division?"
"The military adviser's surname is You, and his name is You Ziyu. The military adviser is extremely smart, strategizing, and extremely loyal to the general. The general is his life-saving benefactor."
"Do you know where the military division is now?" The dark guard is still looking for the whereabouts of the military division and the two lieutenants, and those three people seem to have evaporated from the world.However, looking for the three of them, Li Chengyun dared not use others.
"I heard from the military division that the army retired before returning to the court, so I don't know where the military division went. But I remember that the military division is from Shanxi."
Li Chengyun nodded, "Thank you for telling me this, and thank you for remembering your late father for so many years."
Immediately, tears filled Xiong Lie's eyes, "My lord, please avenge the general's grievances, and please take care of yourself."
After leaving Xiong Lie's house, Li Chengyun looked up at the starry night sky and murmured: "Tomorrow will be a good day again."
Li Qi could tell that his master was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he reminded him in a low voice: "Master, Young Madam is still at the inn."
Li Chengyun quickened his pace and returned to the inn.
He took off his shirt in the dark, quietly walked to the bed and lay down.Luo Chengyu immediately got into his arms.
"Didn't fall asleep?"
"I'm waiting for you. I'm not used to it without you by my side."
Li Chengyun's heart softened, he hugged him and turned around, and began to kiss him carefully.Luo Chengyu responded enthusiastically.
The next day, both of them stayed in bed.
Luo Chengyu lay in Li Chengyun's arms and asked: "I found that personal guard last night, did he say anything?"
"He said my father died of poisoning."
"Didn't you hit the heart with an arrow, why did you get poisoned again?"
"Perhaps the arrow was also hit, and the poison was also hit." Li Chengyun felt terrified, and he was still powerless.
Luo Chengyu raised her head and kissed him on the chin, "I'll find out."
"I'm afraid we still need to find out the military advisor and deputy general as soon as possible." Li Chengyun had a headache, "Those three people are too good at hiding, and my people have no clue so far."
"After all, they are military advisers and lieutenants. If they want to hide their identities, they must be more careful and cautious." Luo Chengyu put his head on his neck and rubbed it lightly, "Don't worry, at worst, check slowly."
"Well, my father has passed away for so many years, so I'm not in a hurry." Li Chengyun comforted himself, and at the same time told Luo Chengyu not to worry too much about him.
At this time, there was a heavy knock on the door.
Zhou Chen'an shouted from outside the door: "What time is it, why are you still not getting up!"
Mu Sheng and Cai Ling looked at Zhou Chen'an angrily, trying to stop but couldn't.
Zhou Chen'an's eyes suddenly fell on Mu Sheng, he curled his lips into a smile, and said, "Why didn't I realize that Cheng Yu still has such a beautiful servant."
Li Chengyun hurriedly opened the door with disheveled clothes, squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "What do you call Wangfei? Also, this is Wangfei's servant, don't get his ideas."
Mu Sheng and Cai Ling hurried into the room to serve, Li Chengyun fastened his belt in a calm manner.
"Zhou Chen'an, don't think that I really dare not touch you."
After the words fell, he closed the door.
Zhou Chen'an stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and returned to his guest room without saying a word.
In the afternoon, Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu set off again.
When the carriage was approaching the city gate, there was a sudden noise.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!" The surrounding people hurried to help put out the fire.
Li Chengyun lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the place where the flames were soaring into the sky, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ordered: "Go and see, where is that?"
Not long after, Li Qi came back and reported: "Master, it's Xiong Lie's house that caught fire."
Suddenly, Li Chengyun's face turned pale, followed by boundless anger.
Luo Chengyu subconsciously grabbed one of his wrists and looked at him worriedly.
The fire was gradually extinguished, but the occupants of the house were already dead.
After a long time, Li Chengyun said: "Let's go."
The carriage continued out of the city and headed to the next place.Luo Chengyu hugged Li Chengyun tightly, comforting him silently.
In the carriage following them, Zhou Chenan frowned, and ordered: "Go and find out who's house is on fire." He actually made Li Chengyun wait until the fire was extinguished before leaving.
After arriving in Suzhou, Zhou Chen'an still stayed by Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu's side, appearing in front of them from time to time.
Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu only cared about playing without distractions, which made Zhou Chen'an suspicious.
When Zhou Chen'an saw Li Chengyun feeding Luo Chengyu intimately again, he stood in front of them.
"When we left Wujin, a house was on fire. The person who was burned to death at home had been a soldier, and he had been General Li's personal guard."
"Really? I didn't expect Zhou Shizi to check this on purpose. Thank you for telling me, I will send someone to deal with that person's affairs." Li Chengyun said indifferently, without even giving him a straight look, and continued to feed Luo Chengyu eat.
Luo Chengyu squinted her eyes to enjoy his feeding, a bit like a lazy cat.
Zhou Chen'an seemed to have punched the cotton with a fist, and seeing the two people being intimate in front of his eyes every day, he turned around and left angrily.
Li Chengyun muttered: "I don't know why, I finally left."
Luo Chengyu chuckled, and then said, "We should go too."
Obviously not in the mood to play, but in order to avoid suspicion, they had to pretend to be in a good mood, which made them even more physically and mentally exhausted.
It was night, and the secret guard who was investigating the cause of Xiong Lie's death came back to report. The person who killed Xiong Lie was Lu Qiqi's men.
Li Chengyun stayed up almost all night, pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a letter to send to Lu Qiqi.
After that, he stayed in Suzhou and waited for Lu Qiqi to come over.
The Qingfeng Pavilion in Suzhou City is located by the Pingjiang River, rich and elegant.
Li Chengyun walked into the backyard from the back door alone, and the long worker guarding the back door invited him into a room.
"My subordinates see the prince, please take a seat." Lu Qiqi did not get up to salute, but made tea while talking.
Li Chengyun narrowed his eyes dangerously, his expressionless face could stop a child from crying.
Lu Qiqi offered hot tea without changing his face, and said lightly: "I know that the prince has many doubts in his heart, and even suspects that I have betrayed the general and betrayed the prince."
"Does Seventh Uncle plan to explain this to the King?"
"My lord, no one can be more loyal to the general than I am."
"So loyal that you want to kill his old department?"
Lu Qiqi took a small sip from his teacup, and said slowly: "The fact that the general was poisoned and died, no matter whether it is true or not, should not be known by others now." Only the dead can keep secrets.
Li Chengyun tightly squeezed the hand holding the cup, only complaining that he is too weak now, and there is nothing he can do about them for the time being.
"My lord, those who do great things must avoid the benevolence of women. The general was killed because he was too kind. You are his only child and you cannot follow in his footsteps."
"This king respectfully calls you Seventh Uncle, but it doesn't mean that you can dictate to me." These people claimed to be subordinates, but they didn't actually recognize him as the master.
Lu Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, the louder and louder he laughed until tears came out.
Li Chengyun's face became darker and darker, and his anger was on the verge of breaking out.
"It's my subordinate who overstepped." Lu Qiqi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and gradually restrained his smile.
Li Chengyun said in a deep voice: "If you are still loyal to your late father, then you should stop arbitrarily arguing about his affairs."
Lu Qiqi chuckled softly: "I'm afraid it won't work."
The two gazes met in the air, and sparks seemed to be ignited instantly, just like the blazing fire in Xiong Lie's house that day.
Li Chengyun pondered for a moment, then slowed down and said: "Uncle Seven, I will avenge my father's revenge myself."
"It's very good for the prince to have such an idea." Lu Qiqi smiled softly, "The general's revenge should be avenged by the prince, and I will only assist from the side."
"In the matter of avenging my father, I hope that no one will interfere, and don't make up my mind to ruin my plan."
"May I ask what your lord's plan is?"
"When it's time for you to know, I will let you know."
Lu Qiqi frowned imperceptibly, as if he was thinking about the credibility of his words, whether he really had a plan, or used this as an excuse to stop himself.
"This subordinate has the courage to ask the prince again."
"You said."
"In the prince's plan, how long will it take to avenge the general?"
"Three years."
"Why wait three years?"
"According to my estimation, the king of the Southwest will be rebelled within three years. Then it will be my chance to seize military power. My father was killed in a war, and he will eventually go deep into the army." Li Chengyun's eyes are serious and firm, and his words are seven parts true and three parts false .
Lu Qiqi stared at him closely. He thought he had seen countless people, but he didn't see guilt and hesitation in Li Chengyun's eyes, so he already believed him a little. "Anyway, I have been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about waiting for another three years."
"Exactly," Li Chengyun nodded without changing his expression. "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
Lu Qiqi thought for a moment, then said: "My lord, I can assure you that in the next three years, I won't do anything without permission and wait for my lord's orders."
"So, very good." Li Chengyun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and finally stabilized him first.
Lu Qiqi added: "However, if the prince cannot avenge the general within three years, please forgive me for continuing to use my own methods."
Li Chengyun paused, and then said: "Okay."
After the two reached an agreement on this matter, Lu Qiqi said with a shallow smile: "I was worried that the prince would trust us, but now it seems that I worried too much."
Li Chengyun couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Oh? So you really can't be trusted?"
"I am absolutely loyal to the general. After the general passes away, I am loyal to the prince. However, Ruan Jingyuan and Yang Aixuan may not be."
"How do you explain this?"
"Ruan Jingyuan is in charge of money and food, how many people can resist the temptation of A Duwu? Oh, but the prince doesn't have to worry, his subordinates have sent someone to watch him. As for Yang Aixuan, a martial idiot, he thinks he is smart, but he is actually caught by the little boy around him. People play around. When I expose the silverfish around him, I will read his jokes and make fun of him.”
Hearing this, Li Chengyun had nothing to say for a while.
Lu Qiqi said again: "Does the lord still want to know about the Huainan king?"
"what do you know?"
"Father Huainan Prince and his son are mad one by one, but their strength is only increasing. Maybe they will rebel within three years, not only the Southwest King. I have planted a hidden stake in the Huainan Palace. If the prince leads the army to quell the rebellion, then I can help Your Majesty will help you."
Li Chengyun nodded, but remembered another thing.
Seeing that his face was still solemn, Lu Qiqi chuckled lightly, and said, "The room of Prince Huainan's son caught fire, and it has been found out that it was caused by an old friend of a concubine who died before."
Li Chengyun had to admit: "Your abilities are stronger than I thought."
"Thank you, Lord, for your compliment." Lu Qiqi smiled wantonly, very heartily.
Li Chengyun didn't stay any longer, left through the back door, and returned to the inn where he was staying.
The next day, when Li Chengyun and Luo Chengyu were having breakfast, Zhou Chen'an came over again, looking at them patiently.
"Last night, someone saw a person who looked very similar to the county king near Hualou. It happened that when my attendants woke up at night, they saw the county king coming back from the outside alone, with a faint smell of powder on his body."
Li Chengyun said angrily: "What are you doing with Zhou Shizi?"
When he went back to the inn last night, he found someone following him, so he deliberately detoured a few streets, and indeed passed by Hualou, the girl at the gate of Hualou came to give him a hand.As soon as he returned to the inn, he changed his clothes and told Luo Chengyu everything without any concealment.
"Cheng...Princess, aren't you curious about the relationship between the man who visits the flower building and the king of the county?"
"My prince is right, it has nothing to do with Zhou Shizi."
Zhou Chenan's smile froze on his face, he heheed several times, and then said: "Princess, if one day you find out that the county king betrayed you, you can ask someone to send me a letter."
"It's really a wicked heart." Li Chengyun was furious, and fought violently.
Already already irritated by the affairs of Li Dongyi's old department, Zhou Chen'an came to poach the wall face to face, Li Chengyun couldn't bear it.
Luo Chengyu calmly ate the last shrimp dumpling, went back to the guest room, and ordered Mu Sheng and others to pack their bags and prepare to leave.
As for the fighters, there was a huge disparity in strength, Zhou Chen'an conceded defeat again.
He spat, put his hands on his chest, and said angrily, "Why are you hitting me on my chest? If something happens to me, you won't even want to live."
Li Chengyun casually smiled: "If you die in the front, you will not be able to care about the things that follow."
Zhou Chen'an held back a mouthful of old blood, and looked at him furiously.
Li Chengyun laughed and said: "Who is the person who should be angry? Zhou Chen'an, you don't even understand the most basic ethics."
At this time, the doctor that Zhou Chenan's entourage ran to invite came over, they went into the room to see the wound, and Li Chengyun went back to the guest room.
Luo Chengyu patted the invisible dust on his body for him, and said: "Zhou Chen'an is a little crazy, his mind is abnormal, don't get angry with him, and get angry with yourself."
Hearing his wife describe Zhou Chen'an in this way, Li Chengyun chuckled and said, "You're right, he's just out of his mind and a masochist. I won't be angry because of him. I fought with him because he came to give me I vent my anger." These days, Li Chengyun has accumulated a lot of negative emotions, and he just used this to vent.
Luo Chengyu shook his head helplessly and laughed, and then said: "I have asked Mu Sheng and the others to pack their things, and they can leave at any time."
Li Chengyun nodded: "It happens that Zhou Chen'an is watching the injury, let's leave quickly, so as not to be stuck with him again."
Luo Chengyu smiled, and deliberately reminded him: "Don't forget his followers. As soon as we set off, the followers will know."
Li Chengyun bared his teeth.
"We go straight back to Beijing all the way, if he wants to follow, let him continue
