After the rebirth, the emperor will never forget me

==========================

"What's going on, tell me clearly!"

Lanxi Bamboo growled.

The people below didn't usually see Lanxi Zhu getting angry, so they shrank their shoulders suddenly.

"It means that Hiran received the news when the Holy Maiden committed suicide. King Hiran didn't intend to pay compensation at all, but wanted to beat him up. But their son was in Nanheng at that time, and they cut off contact. They were afraid that we would take the Holy Son as a hostage, so they kept silent. Until a few days ago, the Holy Son of Hilan returned to his inn, and was controlled by them and sent directly back to the country of Hiran. They If you don't have any worries, just turn your face and deny anyone."

Lanxi Zhu slapped the table heavily with his hand.

How could he have forgotten that Xilan was still there, now that his third brother is gone, and there is no general available in Southwest, he has to transfer one from the court as soon as possible.

If Xilan made a sneak attack at this time, it would be really taking advantage of others' danger.

Recently, Qi Heng has been so busy that he has fewer letters.

Lanxi Zhu was even more worried.

"Back the horse."

Thin lips spit out two words lightly.

"Yes."

Lanxizhu needs to go back, and it is not an option to always be in a hurry here.

After a while, Yao Guilin asked to see him.After agreeing, he walked in with a flustered expression.

"what happened?"

Lanxizhu had already put on his clothes, and was squinting at him while tying his belt.

"The injury on the general's body hasn't healed yet, how can we ride a horse!" He knelt down, "Take the carriage back, and send some people to follow and protect the general."

"Need not."

Lan Xizhu vetoed it straight away, "I won't take anyone with me when I go back this time."

Yao Guilin frowned, obviously disapproving. "General—"

"okay."

Lanxizhu interrupted, "Hengdu is not a dangerous place. I won't go back to Lanfu, so I don't need to go through so much trouble."

If he went back so openly, it would be bad for his elder brother to find out.

This time, he just wanted to sneak back to the palace to visit Qi Heng, discuss matters in the Southwest, and ask Su Weichen something.

His eldest brother still hasn't calmed down, and he didn't agree with the matter between himself and Qi Heng. If his elder brother found out about his meeting with Qi Heng at this time, he would probably be even more angry.

"But the injury on the general's back..."

"It's okay."

Lanxi Zhu interrupted again, "It's scabbed over, you can still ride a horse."

He put on his boots and stood up. "I may have to go back for a day or two. During this period of time, I will leave the affairs of the army to you."

Yao Guilin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, General."

When Lanxi Zhu was away, he always took care of the martial arts field by himself, and he always did things properly.

"By the way, call Shunzi here and let him learn to manage things with you. You can't make him so decadent all day in the past two years, so find something for him to do." He casually ordered.

Yao Guilin's heart tightened, "He... probably doesn't like these things."

With Lei Shun's temperament, he only likes to dance with guns and swords. Let him learn to manage affairs, it is better to let him lie in the barracks.

However, Yao Guilin was not really worried about this.

Is Lanxizhu asking others to learn to manage things in order to take over his own errands... What does this mean? Could it be that he wants someone to replace him?

It's not that he is afraid of Lei Shun, after all, they are good brothers who have been through life and death together for many years.

He was just afraid that his position in Lanxizhu's mind would change.

This is a bad sign.

He had already given up other things, and he couldn't give up his status in the army.At least this point can give himself a comfort, making him feel that he is still useful.

However, Lanxi Zhu didn't know that he had thought so much.

"That's right...with his temper, even if he looked at the accounts, he would have a headache and scream."

Lanxi Zhu raised his lips and said helplessly: "Then let him come over to train the recruits. Isn't there a new batch of recruits at the end of the year?"

Yao Guilin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his complexion looked much better. "It is estimated that he is willing to do it."

"Yeah." Lanxi Zhu didn't want to waste time here, "Go down, I'm leaving."

"Yes."

Back in Hengdu City, everything here is still very familiar, almost unchanged.

This feeling reassured Lanxi Zhuxin a lot.

Because he wanted to hide it from his elder brother's eyes and ears, he skipped South Street and walked to the remote West Street, intending to bypass the city center and the location of Lan Mansion.

There are very few people here, much cooler than the place he passed by just now.

He didn't ride fast, so when someone stopped him, he quickly stopped the horse.

There was a neighing sound from the horse under him, and he followed him to look at the person blocking the way in front of him.

The man looked flustered, and secretly took out a jade pendant that seemed to be of high quality.

"General Lan, this servant is someone close to His Majesty."

Lanxizhu looked at him carefully and found that he had no impression of this person.

It's a new face.

The jade pendant in his hand was indeed the kind that Qi Heng would wear on a daily basis, but Lanxi Zhu's vigilance did not decrease because of this.

"I haven't seen you."

"Follow the matter urgently." The servant wiped his sweat, his face was very urgent, "Your Majesty is not in the palace at the moment, His Majesty wants to ask the general to meet outside the palace. It is inconvenient for people around you to show up, and they are easy to be recognized."

He handed over the jade pendant in his hand, "Does the general know this?"

To be honest, I don't have much impression of Lanxi Bamboo.

He usually doesn't pay attention to what kind of jade pendant Qi Heng is wearing, but this one looks very familiar.

Isn't this... the piece that Qi Heng always wore when he first came to the throne?

He remembered.

At that time, he and Qi Heng were at odds. On the bed, he once tore off the jade pendant from Qi Heng's waist and threw it on the ground, but he didn't break it.

Lanxi Zhu's heart was less prepared.

"Your Majesty knows I'll be back?"

"Yes."

The servant bowed respectfully and replied, "Your Majesty is waiting for the general in an old house on West Street."

That place was very hidden, Qi Heng probably didn't want people in the palace to see him.

Maybe it was because someone in front of him spread the news about Xilan into the martial arts arena, so Qi Heng guessed that he would definitely run back to find him.

Lanxi Zhu held his breath and said, "Lead the way ahead."

"Yes."

The two of them arrived at the place after walking about a stick of incense.

The servant bowed his head to Lanxizhu and said: "General, wait a moment, the servants will go inside to talk."

Lanxi Zhu waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up.

The servant disappeared from his sight.

There are no people here anymore, and the wind blows, blowing up a few rotten leaves, adding a bit of loneliness and desolation.

This place is really hidden.

He didn't look up for a long time when he saw a group of people swarming from all sides.

About a dozen people.

Those people were completely black, and their faces were covered by masks. They were full of murderous aura, and they quickly surrounded Lanxi Bamboo.

Lanxi Zhu held Ma Zang's hand tightly, but he didn't panic.

These people look like assassins.

The people who have been in for so long have not come out, and it is estimated that they will not come out again.

He was designed and fell into their trap.

But Qi Heng would not harm him, where did this jade pendant come from?

Lanxi Zhu looked around.

"Don't look at it, General Lan."

A familiar voice reached my ears.

Qi Huai walked out unhurriedly holding a jade bone fan.

Lanxizhu looked at him and narrowed his eyes.

"King Zhao." He asked, "Didn't Your Highness be confinement by His Majesty? You escaped without permission, but you resisted the order!"

When he said this, Lanxi Zhu's eyes were a little cruel.

Now everything is clear, Qi Heng should not be here, he was cheated.

"The general still has time to care about this king at this time." Qi Huai fanned himself with the jade bone fan in his hand, although that action felt redundant in the cold wind of March.

"The general is too busy to take care of himself."

he chuckled.

Lanxi Zhu narrowed his eyes, "Where did you get the jade pendant?"

"Oh, you said that jade pendant." Qi Huai knocked on his forehead with the handle of the fan, "I begged it from Brother Huang at the palace banquet, but I didn't expect it to be used in such a way now."

He smiled maliciously: "The general doesn't know. At that time, the emperor saw that the king looked like he had never seen anything good. He was so happy that he threw it to the king without saying a word. The king was in the public, like Walked over and picked it up like a dog." At the end, he added with a sigh, "Brother Huang just likes to see this king make a fool of himself."

Lanxi Zhu looked at him coldly, and said against his words: "What do you want to do?"

"What are you doing?" Qi Huai thought for a while, "Of course I don't want to hurt the general, I just want to ask the general to come with me and make a deal."

"Where are you going?" He frowned.

He can't leave Hengdu, once he leaves here he will be completely alone and helpless.

"Don't worry, it's not far away."

This doesn't move him.

Lan Xizhu looked at the dozen or so people around him, and replied coldly: "Even if we go together, you may not be my opponent."

Even if he earns a living, it is impossible for him to obediently follow Qi Huai back and make some shitty deals with him.

"This king knows." Qi Huai's smile didn't reach his eyes, which made people feel inexplicably creepy. "However, that must be a general in his heyday, isn't the general injured now?"

He also knows this!

A few days ago, Lanxi Zhu had already made people keep the news from spreading, how could there be mistakes, could it be that this person also arranged spies by his side like Qi Heng?

"General, please don't look at me with such eyes, I will not arrange any spies to ride in Xuanyu." Qi Huai said frankly, "There are people in the palace, and this king also knows my good emperor. A few days ago, brother met the general at night."

His gaze began to move upwards, looking up and down at Lanxizhu's body with an aggressive look.

Lanxi bamboo felt a chill in his heart when he saw it.

"It's just that Brother Huang is a person who doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade. The general is seriously injured. How could he deliberately run over and force the general to do such a thing?"

The meaning of the words is obvious and provocative.

Because of such insulting words, Lanxi Zhu was instantly furious, "Presumptuous!"
