Cypress Boat Floating

It seemed that Lu Zhixing had known that Lin Xuan would find an excuse to go out. When his subordinates came to report, he did not react at all, which made Lu Ci Qiu think that Lin Xuan's going out was his plan. Hearing his words, Lu Zhixing rolled his eyes at him without any hesitation, indicating that he had no awareness of this kind of sting enforcement.

Lu Zhixing arranged his subordinates to follow Lin Xuan and report to him at any time what he did. He had a hunch that Lin Xuan would never miss this opportunity today and would definitely try to go out and send out the marching distribution map. Then, as long as he made a move, Lu Zhixing would be able to catch him on the spot and bring back the marching distribution map.

Lu Ci Qiu was very curious about Lu Zhixing's arrangement, and he kept expressing his desire to go with him to capture Lin Xuan, with a strong intention. However, Lu Zhixing was worried about his feet, and didn't want him to run around, thus causing his feet to become sick, so he held him down by force: "Why are you going there with your feet? What can you do there?"

"Then second brother, what are you going to do next? Is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Ci Qiu stared at Lu Zhixing with a pair of eyes full of desire for knowledge.

"Lin Xuan will definitely find a way to contact someone once he gets out. I have already sent people to keep an eye on him. If we find him trying to contact someone, we will arrest him immediately. The only thing you can do to help is to rest well at home and don't move around."

Lu Zhixing acts decisively and once he makes up his mind, he will act immediately without hesitation.

Lu Ci Qiu glanced at Ye Jianqing, and he suddenly thought of the man who assassinated him last night. If Lin Xuan really had contact with this person, then he could take the opportunity to capture this person, find out where he came from, and find out who wanted to kill him.

The assassination last night was definitely related to the loss of the marching distribution map. Even if the person who came to contact was not that person, he was most likely from the same organization. As long as we can catch any one of them, perhaps we can get to know the truth.

With just one glance, Ye Jianqing knew what Lu Ci Qiu was thinking and sighed helplessly.

To be honest, Lu Ci Qiu was not the only one who wanted to know who killed them in their previous life. Only by knowing who wanted to kill them could she be on guard in this life. Now that he had come to her door, she had no intention of letting him go. However, considering Lu Ci Qiu's health, she said, "You can't go because your leg is injured. I'll go."

"You go alone, I'm worried." Although Ye Jianqing's martial arts skills were better than Lu Ci Qiu's, Lu Ci Qiu was still worried that she couldn't deal with that person by herself. "That assassin wants me dead, and he will definitely not let you go, don't forget that."

"I'm not afraid that he will come to kill me, I'm just afraid that he won't show up. Don't forget, only when he shows up can we get the clues we want."

"That won't work either. If you go, no one will protect you. If something really happens to you, we don't have the assurance of a redo. We can't risk our lives every time." Lu Ci Qiu's brows were frowning more and more. They really had no assurance of being reborn after death. If Ye Jianqing died this time, he would really die. What should they do? He couldn't bear the consequences.

Lu Zhixing didn't know what the two of them were talking about, nor did he know what they were thinking, but it was obvious that he had to go to the scene of such an important matter as the marching distribution map. With him there, how could Ye Jianqing get hurt?

He now realized that Ye Jianqing was someone his younger brother could not touch or beat. If he really dared to hurt Ye Jianqing, his younger brother would probably be angry with him.

"Stop joking. I want to go too. Since Ye Jianqing wants to go so much, then you can come with me. I won't let her get hurt. As for you..." Lu Zhixing pointed at Lu Ci Qiu and said, "Just go back to the palace and have a good rest. I will send someone to protect you. As long as the assassin is not caught, your safety cannot be relaxed. At present, it is not certain when they will meet. Before that, we have to find other evidence and cannot rely on this matter alone."

"Okay." Lu Ci Qiu believed in Lu Zhixing very much, not only in his brainpower, but also in his physical strength. Moreover, he had promised him that he would not let Ye Jianqing get hurt, so he would definitely do it.

Lu Zhixing, 29 years old this year, has a wife and a daughter. He is the second son of the current emperor. His biological mother is Concubine Shu, who is quite favored by the emperor, and his grandfather is the emperor's tutor.

Lu Zhixing was extremely intelligent since childhood. He could recite poems at the age of three. Although he did not fully understand the Four Books and Five Classics, he knew them. At the age of five, he showed excellent talent for martial arts and could perform simple sword moves after just one look.

At the age of 13, he followed the northbound army to the border alone and served under General Ye Honghai. He fought with him, killed countless enemies, escaped death many times, obtained countless intelligence for Da'an, and helped Ye Honghai attack the desert many times.

At the age of 18, he returned to the capital city by imperial decree with a wealth of merits, and from then on he took over the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple in the capital city.

No one who can survive the battlefield of Beiguan is a fool, let alone someone like Lu Zhixing. As soon as he returned to the capital, he relied on his vigorous and resolute ability to manage the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple in an orderly manner, which made everyone look at him with admiration.

Lu Zhixing has the potential to become a successful person, but because he grew up with his grandfather and General Ye, he also knows how to be a minister. After he came back, he thought that if the prince had the ability to govern the country, he would definitely do his best to assist him.

But the prince was not capable enough, and since Lu Zhixing came back, the prince regarded him as a thorn in his side, and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Since the other party had included him in the list of imaginary enemies, Lu Zhixing would not let him go easily, and the two began their road to succession.

From the age of 20 to 29, the two gradually divided the power of the court in 9 years. Although most of the people in the court are still the prince's people, Lu Zhixing's people are also slowly infiltrating.

Although he wanted to seize the throne, he never mentioned it in front of anyone, nor did he show it in public. He gave the emperor a reliable appearance, which was why the emperor trusted him more and more. But despite his favor, he never gave him more positions to manage besides the Ministry of Justice, as if he wanted to embed him here to die.

Lu Zhixing suppressed all his emotions and quietly did his own thing. In public, he continued to be the emperor's good son and Da'an's good prince.

Lu Zhixing arranged everything properly and waited for Lin Xuan to reveal his true colors.

"Your Highness, Cheng Tianhe has also left the Ministry of War." At this time, another subordinate came to report.

"Follow him and see what he does." Lu Zhixing frowned and gave the instructions.

Lin Xuan was their main suspect, so they were not surprised at all when he went out. They even felt that the fish was about to be hooked. But why did Cheng Tianhe go out?

"There's something wrong with these two people." Lu Ci Qiu and Ye Jianqing were whispering to each other.

"If Cheng Tianhe really has something against him and Lin Xuan is threatening him, he will definitely think of resisting. Maybe they will both be killed in the end." Ye Jianqing was picking his fingers and whispering in Lu Ci Qiu's ear idly.

"You have to be careful. I'm afraid they will harm you." Lu Ci Qiu's worry has already surfaced. In this situation, there is not only a mysterious person waiting in the dark to plot against them at any time, but also Lin Xuan and Cheng Tianhe.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not worried about Cheng Tianhe not having any martial arts skills. But I don't know how good Lin Xuan is in martial arts. I'm worried that I can't defeat him." Ye Jianqing frowned. She was not worried about Cheng Tianhe, but Lin Xuan did have martial arts skills.

"I am worried about the assassin. I still suspect that he was sent by the prince." Lu Ci Qiu has never let down his guard against the prince.

Whether in the past or now, he has always regarded Lu Zhixing as his enemy, and directly treated him as a member of Lu Zhixing's camp. He has done dirty things to Lu Zhixing nine times out of ten, so the possibility of him doing it to himself is also very high.

"But if we really meet him, it would be good to find some clues from him, otherwise we would just be looking for a needle in a haystack. Although he might be the prince, we can't just put the blame on him without any evidence." Ye Jianqing subconsciously refuted him.

Meeting the assassin was actually a good thing for them, at least they could find some clues from him, instead of just having to investigate with a crossbow like he had done before.

"What are you talking about?" Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, Lu Zhixing felt as if he was being excluded. He walked silently behind them with evil intentions and suddenly spoke to scare them when they were not prepared.

"Second brother, why don't you make any sound when you walk? It's scary." Frightened Lu Ci Qiu almost jumped out of his wheelchair and looked at him angrily.

"You were just concentrating too much on talking and didn't hear it." Lu Zhixing replied with a smile, not saying that he did it on purpose.

Ye Jianqing, who witnessed the whole process, looked at Lu Zhixing with disdain and thought, "So the prince also has such a bad taste?"

Lu Zhixing: "Whether we can find the marching distribution map depends on them. It will probably be a tough battle. Let's take a good rest first. We will set off when we get the news."

Judging from what my subordinates just reported, it won’t be long before Lin Xuan reveals his true colors. I hope there will be good news today.

Lu Zhixing asked Ye Jianqing to take Lu Ciqiu back to the palace to rest, and told him not to leave the palace unless necessary. The assassin had not been caught yet, and Ye Jianqing would follow him to find the march distribution map. Lu Ciqiu was worried because there was no one around him. If he was in the palace, he would have someone to protect him, so at least he could ensure his safety.
