He's been caught for the show.

When King Jingning's rebellion was "revealed" and the principal culprit was escorted back to Beijing, Chu Lu was still on his way to the capital.

Hearing the news, the guards all had serious faces along the way and couldn't help showing some joy.

To be honest, Chu Lu didn't quite understand why he was happy.

Even the system that has recently been addicted to games followed with a [嗤].

He expressed that he didn't understand that this kind of teammate succeeded in fighting the boss, what is there to be excited about as a non-staff who was left behind, let alone King Jingning's level is at best an elite monster, and it is still a weakened version.

Why do you say "weakened"?

Anyway, Chu Lu didn't believe that Yan Jie would do nothing after he got into the enemy's camp.

In fact, after the third day from Chulu to Kuang Yu, Chai Zhu was able to deliver letters to him every now and then. From the content of the letter, it can be seen that the sender was definitely a party independent of the influence of King Jingning, and Safe enough channels.And I don't know what Yan Jie did. From Chai Zhu's third letter, he had already called Yan Jie respectfully "Mr. Yan" in the letter, and later he didn't even dare to mention it. What psychological shadow.

It can be seen from the fact that Zhao Jing knew that the emperor's uncle was rebellious early on, but still dragged him so late to deal with it. It can be seen that the strength of King Jingning is really nothing, and Yan Jie is stirring up trouble inside. , it is not too easy to solve.

So Chu Lu really can't empathize with Cao Ping's feelings at the moment.

He opened the curtain with one hand and pressed the door frame of the car with the other, intending to remind the other party to drive slowly, but before he could speak, there was a violent bump, if it wasn't for the hand on the door frame, he was almost thrown out outside the car.

Chu Lu: "..."

He stared at this guard who was so happy that he even let himself go while driving the carriage.

"Young Master Yan?"

Cao Ping looked at Chu Lu with his head sticking out, not knowing why.

When Chu Lu was still in Kuang Xie, he had been using the fake identity named "Chai Yan" given to him by Chai Zhu.But I don't know how Qin Bi told Cao Ping that this guy was "Mr. Huo" when he came up.Chu Lu corrected it several times, but it was obvious that what he said was not comparable to Qin Bi's in Cao Ping's ears, and the other party called him wrong every now and then.

"Huo" is not an uncommon surname, which is why Chu Lu didn't change his surname at first, but being called by Cao Ping like that, it makes people feel abnormal if it falls into the ears of someone who cares.Chu Lu had no choice but to take a step back and let him be called "Yan". Cao Ping accepted this title very quickly, so fast that Chu Lu even suspected that this person did it on purpose.

However, looking at this confused face, Chu Lu didn't think he was such a brainy person.

But if there is a next time, Chu Lu deeply hopes that Qin Bi will at least send someone with a brain.

Unaware that he was being slandered as a mindless idiot, Cao Ping looked at Chu Lu who was half leaning out and asked in confusion, "Are you going down?"

As he said that, he was already making gestures in his hands to pull the rein quickly.

Chu Lu: "..."

He really wanted to remind the other party that they were driving an ordinary carriage, not a chariot.

... But it is estimated that reminding is useless.

You can't expect a husky who has had a good time to return to the nest on its own initiative.

Chu Lu sat on the shaft of the car on the grounds of admiring the scenery, and forcibly stared at this incompetent guard as a "driver" to slow down the car.

The two sat side by side on the shaft of the car for a while. Although Chu Lu said it was for enjoying the scenery, Cao Ping really didn't see anything interesting in this wilderness. It was just that the general gave an order to die before leaving, and everything on the road was to be obeyed by the other party. , Cao Ping was full of slanders at the moment, but he still didn't dare to speak out.

But to be honest, he was really curious about this boy.

This time I went to Yangye, the general brought few people, and it was strange that the general specially assigned people to be guards when the manpower was tight.Moreover, there was an order to "obey the other party's orders". If it weren't for the fact that the age was not right, Cao Ping would have suspected that this was the general's son.

But even if their generals are really talented...

It's not like it.

This son, who can kill ten with one punch, doesn't look like their general at all.

Being stared at with such strange eyes, it is impossible for Chu Lu to feel nothing, and although he doesn't know what the other party is thinking, he can tell from his face that it cannot be a good thing.

Chu Lu turned his head to meet his gaze, showed a "polite" smile, and began to think about whether to find some work for the guard, so that he would not be idle thinking about it.

Cao Ping, who was inexplicably agitated by that laugh, made his back shiver:! ! !

He hastily turned his head, and suddenly remembered who this person looked like.

Like the general's best friend, that Lord Xiao!

As Qin Bi's personal soldier, Cao Ping had met that lord several times.

The general also sometimes talks about military strategies with Master Xiao.

Cao Ping is hard to say about that Master Xiao's ability to lead troops, but if there is a choice, even under their general's command, Cao Ping would not want to confront him.The man used poisonous schemes and calculated people's hearts so accurately that it made people break out in cold sweat behind him. Even after saying this, the other party still had a gentle and spring-like smile on his face.

——On the contrary, it's even scarier, okay? !

Speaking of which, when the general gave the order, did he also say...

Is it "the son of an old friend"?

Cao Ping: That's right.

#Suddenly realized.jpg#

Xiao Yu, who was still in the capital, didn't know that he was somehow arranged to have such a big son who couldn't be born at his age.

Just after he came to the court, someone from the house hurriedly came to report that "there is a visitor at home", and it was even alarmed to the extent that the servants of Xiao's mansion went to wait outside the palace gate, probably there were not many of them in the entire capital.A few names flashed through Xiao Yu's mind in an instant, but when he heard the identity of the visitor from the mouth of the servant, he still couldn't help being surprised.

It was a name that was completely out of his expected range, so unexpected that Xiao Yu couldn't help but confirm it again——

"Thank you grand master?"

The servant answered in a low voice.

Xiao Yu was only stunned for a moment, then his expression turned serious.

He frowned tightly, and he didn't even use the sedan chair that the Xiao Mansion specially came to pick up people, and hurried to the mansion with his feet turned sharply.

Even Grand Master Xie was alarmed, what happened?Is it about King Jingning?Sure enough, it was too easy to solve this time. Is there any omission that he didn't discover?

At first, I thought it was safe to let Shoujiang keep the secret, but then I don’t know why Mr. Yan also volunteered to help... No, the fact that Mr. Yan offered to help already shows that something is wrong, and he didn’t pay attention earlier...

Along with this powerless feeling of regret, there is another emotion that arises at the same time——

If, if... if Mr. is still here.

The thought was fleeting, and he quickly suppressed it, just like every time in these years.

Xiao Yu recalled the information sent back over and over again, trying to find the abnormal part from it.

...Smooth, too smooth, as if there is a hand manipulating the chessboard behind the scenes...

Maybe Mr. Yan knows something.

…………

……

With this kind of thinking in mind, Xiao Yu was not surprised when Grand Master Xie asked him if he could contact Yan Jie.

just this answer...

Xiao Yu hesitated: "The younger generation can indeed send letters, but Mr. Yan..."

He took over the intelligence network left by Huo Xiang back then. Under this premise, he certainly had a way to send the letter to Yan Jie, but...after that winter, the other party was drunk all day long and ignored world affairs. The letter was delivered, but the other party didn't bother to take a look.

Xiao Yu finally said truthfully: "...he might not be able to read it."

In fact, over the years, Xiao Yu also visited several times to beg the other party to come out of the mountain.

But the door of the Yan family is always closed to refuse outsiders, and there is no news of the letter sent.Not to mention him, even if Zhao Jing came to the door in person, he couldn't invite him.

Of course, there is also a way to issue an edict to expropriate, but so what if they are summoned.Between them, it has not reached this point.

Even though he said so, Xiao Yu still respectfully accepted the letter.

The envelope was blank, without even sealing wax, which was really not the rigorous style of this old master.

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to ask, the old man's hand covered with vicissitudes like bark was already on his arm, and he stood up with his strength.

"You'll know it when you see it."

The old voice was inexplicably hoarse.

Only then did Xiao Yu realize that the reason why he didn't sign his name or seal it was that the letter wasn't just for Mr. Yan.

...for him too?

…………

……

Grand Master Xie strongly rejected Xiao Yu's intention to see him off, and left Xiao's mansion step by step on crutches.

His back is hunched, but every step of his footsteps is extremely steady and heavy, as if he is carrying something, and he seems to be letting go of something.

Just looking at it like this, the letter pinched in his hand seemed to have some burning illusions.

After the back figure completely disappeared, Xiao Yu remembered that he originally planned to ask if there were any omissions in the matter of King Jingning.But now, that question doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

He looked at the letter in his hand, and out of some inexplicable intuition, he didn't open it right away.But after returning to the study room and leaving the left and right, he solemnly displayed it on the table.

………………

…………

……

The sun moved to the center and then gradually moved westward, and finally sank completely into the ground.

The full moon hung high, casting a soft light, and the servants of Xiao's mansion looked worriedly at the study.

The owner of the mansion locked himself in the study room after Grand Master Xie left in the morning, and has not come out until now. The night is dark, but the lights inside are still not lit, and the rice outside the door has been changed a few times. It's chilled out.If it weren't for the fact that there was a figure by the window, it would almost make people doubt whether there was anyone in the study.

The servant was hesitant to go in and ask for instructions, but he did not dare to act rashly because of Xiao Yu's previous order.

After a long time, the door was finally pushed open with a "squeak", and the master who had been sitting for a whole day finally came out of the study.

He said hoarsely, "Prepare the sedan chair, I want to enter the palace."

The servants looked at each other for a while, and someone hurried to prepare.

A follower stepped forward hesitantly, and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, at this time... I am afraid the palace gate has been locked."

Only then did Xiao Yu glance at the sky in a daze.

He was silent for a moment, and said: "...Let's prepare first, tomorrow morning..."

"No," he squeezed the thin paper in his hand, paused for a moment and retracted his preface, "I'm going to wait at the gate of the palace now..."
