In addition to the monks who returned to Qixia Mountain to build a monastery, the guards also found another group of people acting suspiciously on the mountain. Several people even sneaked into the cave at night.The guards were in ambush in the dark, and they were surprised to hear them speak with an accent similar to Lan Que's. They tracked them all the way, and they really tracked down Lan Que's post.Quick report to Li Jingchen.

It happened that Li Jingchen learned about the unusual movement in the Lanque Post House in the past few days from Lan Xi.Four days ago, Shi Ai came to the posthouse with Yingrou's dharma body on his back. After that, the posthouse put away the dharma body and never brought it out again, nor held any ceremony. "That foreign girl with high browbones and deep eye sockets" left the post house afterward. The people sent by Lanxi followed her all the way and found that she had gone to Qixia Mountain. I couldn't bear it with all my strength, so I came down.

After summarizing the information from both sides, Li Jingzhu came to the following conclusions: [-]. Yingrou's dharma body is currently in the Lanque posthouse, and the Lanque envoy has not sent her a funeral; [-]. The Lanque people are frantically looking for something, This thing is very important to them, otherwise Shi Ai wouldn't have risked his life to go up the mountain; thirdly, this thing was lost in Qixia Mountain, so it must be something close to Yingrou.

Li Jingchen came out of the meeting holding the goose egg-like Yingyu in his palm, and immediately sent a letter to Lanque Post House, indicating that the Yingyu was in his hands now.

Sure enough, as soon as the letter came out, all the people who searched on Qixia Mountain went down the mountain.Soon, she received a message from Lan Que envoy asking for a visit.

"It came so fast!" Li Jingchen frowned, feeling that there must be a mystery in it.

He deliberately set out the exchange condition for returning Yingyu - a list of all the spies lurking in Yurui territory.In fact, when she heard that Yingrou was rescued by Baihuwei in the cave, she figured out that there were spies from Lanque Kingdom in Baihuwei.As the most powerful secret guard organization in Yurui, the White Tiger Guard's secrecy should be second to none. It is not difficult to imagine that even in such a secretive organization, Lan Que's people are placed. Underneath, how many eyesliners of Lan Que Kingdom are buried.

After hearing the request, the envoy of Lan Que was surprised for a while, and sure enough, his whole face turned pale, like embarrassment or worry, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Li Jingchen pretended to take Yingyu back: "If you can't decide, you can go back and ask your queen. What is the only thing you have is patience? Waiting for your reply."

However, the Lanque envoy immediately changed his words and said firmly: "Wait a minute, I can exchange with you, but? Our country also has a condition. I hope that when your country returns Yingyu, you can remove the surveillance around the post house and allow us to take the princess's body. Send the Dharma Body back to Lan Que."

Li Jingchen agreed immediately, but she wanted to see what they would do next.

After receiving the list, the situation was a little better than what I had expected. Although Lan Que's forces wanted to infiltrate, they didn't break into Yurui's center. people.So far it doesn't seem like much of a concern.

"That's all for the list, are there any omissions?"

The envoy Lan Que seemed a little angry, and complained: "Your country is tightly organized, and it takes several generations of background checks to enter the officialdom. It is very difficult for us to break into the inside. It is relatively easy for the White Tiger Guard, as long as they are well-trained and absolutely loyal. .”

The corner of Li Jingchen's mouth was somewhat sarcastic, "I would like to ask your country, did your country participate in the Qixia Mountain assassination? I just want to hear the truth."

"No. Although the secret guard is a spy sent by our country, he has been carrying out the orders of your majesty throughout the whole process. However, we are sincerely happy to see your majesty win the battle between father and son. In this way, He will be able to help us get rid of the threat for the next 50 years, and Yu Rui will never recover from it. It is undoubtedly a great benefit for me, Lan Que. It is a pity that your Majesty does not understand." When she said it, her face was full of sarcasm, but Li Jingzhu took it from it Hear a little flattery.He didn't want to put on airs anymore, and returned Yingyu after getting the list.

Li Jingchen: "If it is found out that this list is false or omissions, Yurui's swan geese can fly to the westernmost end of the border in three days. At that time, let alone the princess of your country can't get out of Yurui. The envoy of Lan Que will receive a hunting order from this palace."

After the Lanque envoy got Yingyu, he seemed secretly relieved, and said with a sneer, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we Lanque people can't learn it? You Central Plains people are insidious and cunning."

"Emissary Lan Que thinks there are too few things that I want?" The envoy Lan Que hastily bowed down again, "I made a mistake, Your Highness, please forgive me."

After Lan Que envoy returned to the post house, Lan Xi really removed most of the eyeliner, but left one or two to act in the dark.Yingrou's dharma body was quietly transported out of the capital the next day, and walked non-stop along the Ruijiang River for more than half a month before leaving the border of Yurui.During the period, Li Jingzhu also fulfilled his promise, and all the checkpoints along the road were released smoothly, and no one dared to stop him.

After another three months, there was a shocking change in Lan Que Kingdom. The lower four guards of Lan Que's seven Davids—the four commanders of red, purple, black, and yellow—joined up to rebel, and the upper three guards— The blue, blue, and white Davids fought together, and as a result, the top three guards were defeated, the rule of Queen Lanque was overthrown, the whereabouts of all important figures such as Queen Lanque were unknown, and the country of Lanque fell into chaos.

On this day, when it was supposed to be a day to rest and take a bath, the elders of the cabinet were summoned into the imperial study again by Qi Qi, and Li Jingxuan slammed a memorial on the case.After everyone circulated it to each other, they knew why she was so angry.

It turned out that according to unannounced visits by secret agents, there has never been a new crown prince in Lanque's country.The so-called news about the death of Crown Prince Lan Que and the succession of the new Crown Prince is all false.The crown prince of Lanque has always been the queen's long pearl, Lan Yingrou. Her "fake death" and Lan Miangao's succession to the throne are all "delayed tactics" used by Lanque Kingdom to delay the marriage with Yurui.

At that time, the two countries had just resumed their alliance and did not understand each other deeply. This kind of lie full of loopholes was easily covered up.On the surface, Queen Lanque sent a "new crown prince" to Yurui to continue to choose a son-in-law, but in fact she wanted to further win over and evaluate the various forces in Yurui.This can also explain why the new crown prince, Lan Miangao, came to Yurui for a tour, and left in a bewildered manner without deciding on a son-in-law.This means that after careful consideration, they completely rejected the idea of ​​marrying Prince Yurui.

The problem lies with King Dun.The alliance with Lan Que was facilitated by him, and the subsequent marriages were also dominated by people of their lineage. Even if Lan Que country deliberately deceived him, he should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. After in-depth investigation, it will not appear. Such a big mistake.Fortunately, this alliance has become a big joke that has never been heard before. Thinking of the way King Dun returned to Beijing to receive rewards, he was played in the hands of others without knowing it.It was a picture too ironic to look back on.

Because of a flaw in the front line, a series of subsequent decision-making by Yurui also made mistakes.Including Li Jingchen, she was also tricked around.

She also blamed herself, she judged others by herself, and preconceived that Lan Yingrou's "fake death" was for her old lover.However, she neglected that ten years ago when their relationship was at its strongest, she did not give up the throne for Cen Zhu. Ten years later, facing a person who is full of uncertain factors physically and mentally, she has no reason to stand up for her. Abandon everything in the home country.Moreover, if the facts are as Cen Zhu said, Queen Lan Que is a person with a strong desire to control, how could she give up the successor she has put in so much effort to cultivate, and replace her with a non-business-like one who only loves nonsense? blue cottonwood?

In the final analysis, Yingrou's death was an accident, not from her original intention.

This can also explain why the Blue Que Kingdom suddenly had civil strife.

The crown prince died, the queen was old, and the royal family fought for the right to inherit. This was not unique to the Yurui Dynasty.Any dynasty will have it.That's why the White Tiger Guard desperately wanted to rescue Lan Yingrou, and Lan Que's envoy would rather bury the entire dark line planted in Yurui with him than send Lan Yingrou's dharma body back to the country.Because Lan Yingrou has always been their crown prince in the actual sense, and this matter has never changed.

But? No matter what her original intention is, the result of the fact has already happened.

For an old relationship, the guest died in another country, and the country was destroyed.How can I make up for such a heavy price?

At the beginning of July, Lan Miangao, who was in a state of distress, came to Yurui personally to ask for troops to wipe out the rebellion.It's just that she no longer has any bargaining chips.Desperate, he had no choice but to go to Cen Zhu.At that time, Cen Zhuo was teaching in a thatched cottage by the river, far away from the right and wrong of the capital, and lived a life isolated from the world.Lan Miangao went through all the troubles, and got a little information from several of her former "fanatic book fans", including Chuan Feiyan, the ultimate ghost story lover.

After getting the clue, Xingye came to the riverside on horseback, and saw Cen Zhuo teaching a group of children, and the uniform sound of reading could be heard from the thatched cottage.Lan Miangao rushed in angrily, without waiting to report the house, and mercilessly overturned the table for her on the spot.The students were so frightened that they all fell silent, staring at this strange-looking, grumpy and rude girl, and the "Master Cen" who was also frightened into silence.

Cen Zhu regained his composure, calmly picked up the books on the ground, and said to the students: "There is no class today, you go back first."

The students scattered like birds and beasts.

Cen Zhu was wearing a simple white Confucian shirt, with a black square soft scarf wrapped around his head, he really looked like a teacher.It's a pity that she is too young and too beautiful to look coquettish no matter what she wears.Lan Miangao had heard from ten miles away that there was a new "Master Cen" here. He was handsome and suave. In this thatched house, the accumulated anger burst out immediately, didn't it just explode on the spot.

Cen Zhu looked a little haggard, sitting on the student's desk, not daring to look at Lan Miangao.Let her vent in the thatched cottage, kicking the last desk to the side.With red and blue eyes, he angrily grabbed Cen Zhu's skirt and lifted her up, "You are quite carefree, you left my sister alone on the mountain, and slowly died of poisonous torture. How do you still have the face to live in this world? Why don't you die!" She yelled, and slapped Cen Zhu's left cheek and side neck firmly with a "slap".Seeing this, Qing Qu hurriedly moved Lan Miangao back, "Second Princess, calm down, calm down!"

Cen Zhuo's face immediately turned hot red.She bit her lip and didn't say a word, she just maintained a sideways movement, with her back to them, her throat was struggling to roll, gradually there were glistening drops of water hanging from her chin, which accumulated bigger and bigger, and finally fell down weightlessly , smashed on the book, and slowly wet the writing on it.

Qingqu forcibly pulled Lan Miangao out of the house, exhaled, turned around, and explained to the people in the house why he had come.

Cen Zhu rubbed his eyes with his sleeve, turned his head and listened to her narration in shock, and calmed down for a moment, "I'll go home and pack my things, and I'll go with you."

When he went out, he saw Lan Miangao standing outside the house, with his back to them, holding his head stubbornly, as if he was still angry.When Cen Zhu passed by, she whispered, "I'm sorry." She didn't get any response, she hung her head and left without saying a word.

But at this time, a head squatting behind the bushes had already seen everything in its eyes, got up quickly, picked up the drawing board, and slipped away in a hurry.

Two days later, Cen Zhu wrote a memorial to analyze Lan Que's domestic situation, asked Jiang Yiting to help bring it into the palace, and then waited anxiously in the house.For three consecutive days, no response was received.Later, news came out from the palace that the empress dowager had gone hunting in Nanshan, and she would not be back in a short time.Cen Zhu smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and left, Jiang Yiting held her back and asked her to be patient? Wait a few more days.But? Cen Zhuo has no time to wait any longer.The situation in Lan Que's country is changing rapidly, and if it is delayed for a day, there will be trouble for a day.She thought of another person and planned to ask her for help.
