Zhang Huan's eyes flashed lightly, he didn't answer Zhao Ying's words, and stared at the moon in a daze. After a while, he sighed, stretched himself and lay down on the roof again, then took out a red rope from his arms and wrapped it around his fingers. Tip fiddling.

"We don't need to worry about these things, the prince and the young master are very good." His voice was very soft, as if he was telling himself, "It's better to turn the flower rope for fun. I really don't get interested in what you said... ...I like to live a simple life, stay by the lord's side, take care of some trivial matters in the house for the lord, and don't worry about the shitty things of 'you hurt me and I hurt you'... let alone Mr. Lu Such a good man, why did he want to harm our lord..."

Just as he was talking, the window in the room was pushed open, and Lu Xun's voice came up, "Is Zhang Huan talking ill about me behind my back? Get out of here quickly."

Zhang Huan stuck out his tongue and promised, he wrapped the red rope around his wrist, and rolled into the room decisively.

The lights were turned on in the room, Lu Xun was sitting on a chair with his coat on and was writing something, his hair was untied, and his black hair was scattered on his shoulders and back like a waterfall, and there was a thin layer of blush on his jade-like cheeks , her lips were bright red and glowing with water, the jaw line neatly extended to her snow-white neck, and the traces of love after love were faintly visible under the collar.

Zhao Ying only glanced at it and then quickly looked away.

No wonder the prince is haunted by dreams, Mr. Lu is really so good-looking, he is as cold as a banished fairy in the daytime, but now he looks under the lamp, there is more charm in him, captivating the soul.

After calming down, Zhao Ying erased Lu Xun's white neck like a lotus root from his mind, then took out three or four scrolls from his bosom, handed them to Lu Xun, and said, "My lord, the one you want from Prince Fu's mansion in Liaodong ledger."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Lu Xun nodded slightly, reached out to take it, opened a book and began to read.

Jing Yue got off the bed in her clothes and walked to Lu Xun's side with her shoes on. He glanced down at the account book and said, "In the year of Shunkang, there was a saying in the Chu Dynasty that 'five kings protect the country'. Emperor Guang's two elder brothers and three younger brothers were crowned kings according to "Fu Shou Ren Kang An". My father was the youngest and was named King An. These five kings guarded the five directions of the Chu Dynasty, southeast, north, west, middle, like the pillars of the country during the first emperor's time. The existence of ... Speaking of which, the old Fu Wang of Liaodong, I should call him Uncle Huang."

"I've heard of the Five Kings Protecting the Country." Lu Xun's eyes remained on the page, and he tapped the yellow page with his fingertips. King Shou of Ximo, King Ren of Lin'an who "has been in uniform for a long time at home", King Kang of Lingnan who "bowed his bow to bid farewell to the moon", and King An of Shuzhong who "entered the silver platform to protect crape myrtle"... Among them, the old King An The prestige is the most prestigious, and Emperor Tongguang specially bestowed the Shanhe Order, which can mobilize half of the world's soldiers and horses."

"That's right." Jing Yue nodded. He stretched out his hand to pick up the herbal tea on the corner of the table, moistened his throat, and said thoughtfully, "It's been a long time since I visited the emperor of Liaodong."

Hearing this, Lu Xun stopped turning the pages of the book, glanced at Jing Yue, frowned slightly, and moved his thin lips, but finally said nothing.

Jing Yue didn't notice Lu Xun's subtle expression. He put the teacup back on the corner of the table and turned to look at Zhao Ying, "What did you find with Lu Xun?"

"Reporting to the lord, the book of war that my subordinates found in Lu's residence is a map where the Qianqiu Talisman is hidden." Zhao Ying cupped his hands and saluted, and he told Jing Yue about the Qianqiu Talisman and Changbai Mountain in detail.

After listening to Zhao Ying's statement, Lu Xun raised his head from the paper full of accounts, tapped his forehead with a pen and said, "Oh, so that's the case, I should have thought of it...Damn it, It was my negligence."

He remembered that in the original book, the big boss who had been secretly tripping Jing Yue was quite difficult to deal with, it took a lot of effort for Jing Yue to kill that man.

But this was all the story after the death of the original owner, so he never took it to heart. Now that Zhao Ying mentioned the Qianqiu Talisman, he remembered it.

"It seems that we came to the right Liaodong this time." Lu Xun frowned and smiled, his dark pupils were bright, as if the sky was full of stars, he looked at Jing Yue, and blinked slyly, "Jing Chengjue, Xun'er Cleaned up the big boss for you."

Jing Yue didn't understand the last word, but seeing the wolf cub's determined and confident appearance, he knew that he had a plan for the Changbai Qianqiu Talisman.

He smiled, reached out and brushed the broken hair on Lu Xun's forehead behind his ears, and said, "Lu Xun has already run away, are you not afraid that he will tell that person about the Qianqiu Talisman, and they will go to Changbai before us?"

"No." Lu Xun shook his head, and he said, "Lu Xun is smart. He knows that if he finishes everything, that person will definitely kill him. Zoroastrians seem to be escorting Lu Xun to the north, but they are actually under house arrest." , that person escorted him to Changbai, coercing him to use the ballads handed down from the Lu family to find the Qianqiu Talisman. If Lu Xun wanted to save his life, he would definitely hide some things. Tell him exactly where."

Speaking of this, Lu Xun paused. He took out another piece of white paper, thought for a while, wrote down the content of the ballad, then circled the top with a pen a few times, then raised his head and asked Jing Yue, "The book I copied last time Is the book of war in your place? Show it to me, and I will draw the place where the Qianqiu Talisman is hidden."

The lights in the room were lit all night, the east was bright, and the morning light was reflected on the window lattice. Lu Xun put down his pen, stretched his sore shoulders, blew on the ink marks that were not dry, and said with a pout: "Here, in the second peak of Changbai Peak, behind the giant pine forest, in front of the Qianzhang cliff, where the golden crow is slanting in the west, fifty steps to the east."

The handwriting on the paper is vigorous, and the brush strokes are full of strength. Zhang Huan looked at Lu Xun's handwriting and sighed: "My lord's calligraphy attainments are already extremely high, and my son's handwriting is not even half inferior to my lord."

"Hey, don't boast like that. I'm an axe in front of Lu Ban's door." Lu Xun waved his hands with a busy smile. He just learned calligraphy, and he didn't have any accomplishments at all. Compared with Jing Yue, it's really far behind. Zhang Huan's fan filter is a bit too much.

"It's well written." Jing Yue made a pertinent comment from the side, "At least the writing is not as vitriolic as others."

With a sullen face, Lu Xun raised his foot and kicked, throwing a stack of papers on the table onto Jing Yue's face.

Jing Yue grabbed Lu Xun with a smile, stretched out his arms and pulled Lu Xun up from the chair, and kissed the man's thin lips lightly, "Don't be annoyed, you are so humble, you are our wise star, if you lose your head with anger, this king will not be worth the loss." .”

"Get lost." Lu Xun scolded Jing Yue with a smile. He wasn't really angry. After slapping Jing Yue a few times, he stopped fighting and turned to look at Zhang Huan. How many Jianghu people? You lead them to Changbai Mountain... Oh, and also, bring the people Yuan Ren summoned and go to Changbai together. You don't need to go to the second peak, just stop people on the way, No matter who is blocking it, if you can't stop it, just delay it, as long as you can. Your prince and I still have some things to do, and we can't go up the mountain until one day at the latest."

"This subordinate understands." Zhang Huan nodded.

Lu Xun looked at Zhao Ying again, "You don't need to be an undercover agent next to Lu Xun anymore. Yuan Ren was imprisoned, and Lu Xun had nowhere to go, so he had to go to that person, who acted cautiously, and you were too dangerous in the past. Don't go after him, let Lu Xun go. The two of you stay in Liaodong City, and Jingyue and I go up the mountain, so there must be no one in the city."

"No." Zhao Ying clasped her fists and saluted.

After explaining this, Lu Xun heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyes, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "These villains are not challenging, and they are too easy to clean up."

Jing Yue lowered her eyes, and saw that the tip of his eyes was slightly raised, his eyes were full of contempt and disdain, the tip of his nose was red, and he looked very surly, and suddenly his heart was on fire.

After sucking and kissing the corner of the man's proudly raised lips, Jing Yue said, "Wolf boy, do you know what you want people to do after seeing your expression?"

"What do you want to do?" Lu Xun raised his eyes, still smiling, "You want to fuck me?"

As soon as these words came out, Jing Yue's eyes dimmed a bit. Seeing this, Zhang Huan and Zhao Ying winked at each other, jumped out of the window and sat down on the roof again, and Zhang Huan hung upside down intimately to close the pavilion for the two of them. window.

After Chen Shi had eaten breakfast, Qi Wuji brought the Liaodong army account to visit him.

Lu Xun was wearing a plain white shirt, leaning on the cushion, holding a book in his hand, reading it carefully.

He has just taken a bath, his hair is loosely tied in a bun, and a few strands of steamy hair are scattered on his forehead. His cheeks are light red, as if he is afraid of the cold, and he wears a purple coat on his shoulders. The cut-off neck is exposed, the skin is as white as a root, and it makes people want to go up and take a bite to see if it can flow out fresh and tender juice.

Qi Wuji felt that his throat was very dry, and the wine he had just drank burned in his stomach, making his palms sweat.

"My lord is changing clothes in the room, the governor will sit and wait for a while." Lu Xun straightened up and gave a slight salute to Qi Wuzhi, then leaned back on the cushion.

Polite and alienated.

Qi Wuzhi licked the corner of his mouth in disappointment, and his eyes fell on Lu Xun's pale lips.

It would be great if this man smiled at himself, but he watched eagerly, and the corners of his lips didn't rise a bit.

Jing Yue came out of the bedroom and saw Qi Wuji staring at Lu Xun with naked eyes, he was stunned for a second, his face was gloomy, and he said with a slap in the face, "When did Governor Qi come? "

Qi Wuji came back to his senses, he quickly got up, cupped his fists and saluted, "I just came here, I heard Mr. Lu said that the prince is changing clothes in the back room, so I sat down and talked to Mr. Lu for a while."

"Governor Qi and Mr. Lu are quite familiar." Jing Yue sneered, and the displeasure in her eyes became a little more intense.

Lu Xun was tossed a little hard by Jing Yue in the morning, and now he was so tired that he didn't want to get up, he raised his eyelids to look at Jing Yue, and when he saw the gloomy brow, he knew that this person was angry.

"Sit down, we have to check the accounts this morning, and we are very busy." Lu Xun closed the book, picked up the teacup on the corner of the table, and handed it out.

Qi Wuji took it with his hands full of joy, but the teacup didn't go towards him at all, but gave it to Jingyue directly.

Jing Yue took it, and his face softened a little. He sat down beside Lu Xun, lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip.

Lu Xun ignored Qi Wuji's stupefied look, and only turned his head and called out: "Tea."

The tea came up quickly and was placed on the corner of the table, "The governor uses tea." Lu Xun said lightly.Qi Wuji came back to his senses, he took a deep breath, held the hot teacup, and then sat down on the wooden chair at the bottom.

Lu Xun flipped through the ledger quickly, making tick marks with a pen as he flipped through. The room was very quiet. Jing Yue and Qi Wuji looked at each other and didn't speak.

After about an hour, Lu Xun finally closed the last scroll.

He handed the account book to Jing Yue, pointed to one of the items, and said: "In January this year, Dongying people robbed the mutual market in Cangzhou in the northeast of Liaodong. According to Ying Tianfu's records of this incident, Zhongbo City alone gave 3000 taels of silver and 2000 seven catties of grain and grass. However, according to the account book of the Liaodong Army in January, it only received less than 560 taels of silver from Zhongbo... ..."

He recalled the account books he had read last night, combined with the military accounts of the Liaodong Army, checked the military pay and food one by one, and finally calculated the gaps over the years, which was nearly [-] million taels of silver.

Just as he was talking, the two supervisory censors from the household department who inspected the stolen money in Yuan Ren's mansion came to visit, and they sent over the stolen silver items registered in the register.

Jing Yue opened the booklet and saw that the treasures were equivalent to about 2000 million taels of silver... Then, where did the remaining 8000 million taels go?

It was impossible for real gold and silver to disappear without a reason. Either it was buried by Yuan Ren, or someone used the Liaodong Army's military salary as a cover to launder money and use this huge amount of stolen money elsewhere.

Jing Yue stroked Mo Yu's fingers, suddenly, he thought of something, and stood up abruptly.

Lu Xun stretched out his hand to grab Jing Yue's sleeve, raised his eyes to meet him, his face was as calm as water, and he only said one word, "Wait."

Qi Wuzhi was confused, he only knew that Ying Tianfu's military salary was not enough, and every time he went to ask for it, Yuan Zhifu would evade it on the grounds that "the people are rude and refused to pay taxes". In desperation, he could only Go to the household department to ask for the booklet.

"Your Highness, this account book..." Qi Wuji rubbed the back of his head. He couldn't understand the expressions of Lu Xun and Jing Yue. He was about to ask a question when he heard a guard running outside.

"Report——Yuan Zhifu committed suicide in prison!"

The news was like a bolt from the blue, Qi Wuji immediately jumped up from the wooden chair, he stomped his feet repeatedly, "What's going on! Didn't the commander-in-chief teach you to watch carefully last night! He died before the confession was recorded?"

"Sure enough." Jing Yue said in a low voice. He looked at Lu Xun with a gloomy expression, "Cultivating soldiers and horses in private is a serious crime of treason. Who gave him the courage?"

Lu Xun shrugged, does the villain need a reason for doing bad things?unnecessary.

He picked up the account book of the Liaodong Army again, flipped through a few pages, and then waved to Qi Wuji, "Governor, I hope you will keep absolutely confidential everything I will tell you next."

·

Yingtianfu Prison.

The firewood was piled up in a dark and damp corner, the walls were covered with moss, and a thin layer of light shone through the cracks and fell on the muddy ground.

A dead body hung alone in the center of the room. Yuan Ren's eyes were protruding outwards, his face was purple, and vomit was still stained at the corner of his mouth.

The iron chain rattled, the cell door was opened, two guards stepped forward quickly, put down the corpse, wrapped it in straw mats hastily, and dragged it out.

Sitting on the wooden table outside were two supervisory censors from the household department. The hideous and terrifying face of the corpse made the two of them feel sick, and the story was reported.

"My lord, please be careful to examine the corpse." A censor stepped forward and bowed his hands to Zuo Zuo. He took out a money bag from his sleeve and handed it to Zuo Zuo while bending down.

That Wu Zuo is a sensible person, he has seen this kind of thing a lot, he smiled slightly, put the money bag in his arms, and said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang."

"Thank you." Chen Tao sat down on the wooden chair, he and Wang Ren looked at each other, and smiled tacitly.

The two drank warm tea one after another, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and before Chen Tao and Wang Ren got up to salute, Jing Yue, dressed in a crimson phoenix robe, strode in.

"I pay homage to His Royal Highness King An." Chen Tao reacted quickly, lifted his robe and quickly fell to his knees, kowtowing to Jing Yue.

Wang Ren didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately prostrated himself on the ground.

Jing Yue ignored the two of them, and walked up to Yuan Ren's body, squatted down, pinched his chin with his fingers, raised it slightly, and looked at the strangle marks on his neck.

A finger-wide red mark was sunken in the throat, which had now turned purple, with corpse spots covering it.

The wound was so neat that there was not even a trace of struggle, and there were no scratches around the neck, just a single circle of rope marks.

"Your Majesty, the work has already been inspected. This person really committed suicide." Chen Tao walked to Jing Yue's side, kowtowed and said, "The embezzlement is nearly 2000 million taels of silver. He was executed by Ling Chi. It seems that he was afraid of the death penalty, so he committed suicide in fear of crime."

Jing Yue remained silent. He let go of the hand holding the corpse, took the handkerchief from Lu Xun, wiped his fingers clean one by one, and then looked at the two supervisors who were kneeling on the ground.

"Well, what your lord said is very reasonable." Jing Yue nodded, he stood up, raised his foot to hook a wooden chair, sat down with his robe lifted, and then asked with a smile: "What do you call yourself?"

"The humble Chen Tao, the humble Wang Ren." The two replied kneeling on the ground.

"Chen Tao?" Jing Yue raised his eyebrows, he rubbed his fingers on Mo Yu, "I remember this name...it was Shunkang's 33rd Palace Examination No. 2...a student of Meng Ge's elder ?”

"Back to the lord, the humble position is indeed the second place in Shunkang's 33 years." Chen Tao nodded, he raised his head slightly, glanced at Jing Yue, and saw the man smiling, so he relaxed slightly, and continued: "The humble position dare not The student who claims to be Elder Meng Ge, the student of Master Shoufu is the current Holy Master, and the humble position is just a bachelor of the Imperial College."

Hearing this, Lu Xun, who was leisurely strolling around the prison, paused. He stroked the word "Meng Ge Lao" carefully, and then looked down at the two supervisory censors who were lying on the ground.

Meng Gong, courtesy name Yanyi, joined the cabinet in Shunkang 20 years, lectured on Confucian classics and studies for the prince at that time, that is, the current emperor.

Lu Xun didn't like this guy very much because he was too ambitious.

In the Chu Dynasty, civil servants were the most respected, and there were more than 3 local officials and Beijing officials. With such a huge group, thousands of papers were submitted to the emperor for approval every day, and the emperor could not handle it alone.When Tai Zu established the cabinet, there were eight or eight 64 cabinet bachelors, one chief assistant and two second assistants.They were in charge of arranging the memorials for the emperor, bringing together the important and trivial matters reported by the officials, and going to the Qianyuan Hall to report them in the early morning of the next day, which was called "oral presentation".

Over time, the power of the cabinet became more and more powerful. During the Shunkang period, the chief assistant of the cabinet could directly review the memorials without going through the emperor, and the dismissal and promotion of civil servants could also be decided by the emperor.

Therefore, the chief minister of the cabinet became the most powerful and uncrowned king among the civil servants.

Meng Gong was originally from a wealthy family in Chang'an. In 20 years, Shunkang entered the cabinet with the top score in the palace examination, and became the prince's teacher by virtue of the contacts of the Meng family.

He originally planned to wait for the emperor to ascend the throne, so that he could take the opportunity to become the chief assistant of the cabinet. From then on, "one person is under one person and above ten thousand people" and enjoys endless rights.Unexpectedly, the first emperor sent an imperial edict to invite Gu An, who had been a vassal in the middle of Shu, to assist the young emperor to stabilize Dachu, and the cabinet was emptied.

Therefore, Meng Gong hated King An to the core. On the surface, he still pretended to be a diligent and loyal chief assistant, but secretly formed a party with the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager Zhou's family is also a famous family in Chang'an. Meng Gong used the influence of the Zhou family to cultivate his own followers, and secretly challenged King An.

These still couldn't satisfy his growing ambitions, so Meng Gong began to join forces with the royal court of Rongdi in the north, thinking about how to eat away the crumbling Chu Dynasty and become king himself.

For this big boss, Lu Xun's evaluation of him is just one sentence-a complete Machiavellian, who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, trust no one, only believe in the power in his hand.

Lu Xun is a capitalist. He has little interest in the struggle for imperial power, but Meng Gong has gone mad. It doesn't hurt to close the door and come from his family to toss, but if someone opens the door and lets dogs in to bite people, it will be a loss. It is not just the interests of the family.

Fornication with foreign countries is an unforgivable original sin in any country and any nation.

So this time, not only for Jing Yue's sake, but also for his own bottom line, he has to deal with this crazy politician.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun came back to his senses, he sighed inaudibly, glanced outside, then walked to Jing Yue's side, and sat down in his arms as if boneless.

Stretching out his hand to tug on Jingyue's skirt, Lu Xun said softly: "Be careful, we have to go up the mountain, don't dawdle on these things."

Jing Yue smiled sullenly, raised her arms to surround the person, lowered her head and gently kissed Lu Xun's thin lips, and said softly, "Pay attention to your image, there are so many people standing in the room."

"Hiss... get down to business, don't waste time." Lu Xun was displeased, and raised his eyes to glare at Jing Yue.

Chen Tao and Wang Ren kept their eyes on their noses, their mouths and their hearts, lying on the ground motionless.

A guard brought tea and put it on the corner of the table. Jing Yue reached out to take it, lifted the lid of the cup to have a look, put it down again, and then slapped Lu Xun on the bottom, "Get up, let's go."

After leaving the prison, the afternoon sun poured down, dispelling the dampness on the two of them. Lu Xun raised his hand to block the glare, and turned to look at Jing Yue, "Didn't everyone say that Yuan Ren committed suicide at the posthouse this morning?" What? Why are you still dragging me over?"

"Make sure it's safe." Jing Yue said: "Furthermore, we didn't pay attention to these two supervisory censors last night. If we don't come here to find out again today, our eyes will be smeared when we go back. I want to invite these two People can’t find anyone for a meal.”

This made Lu Xun laugh.

He remembered a very interesting plot in the original book: All the civil servants who had dealings with Jing Yue, ranging from officials to the second rank and above to as small as the ninth rank, as long as their hands were dirty, they would end up with all kinds of dirty hands. The charge was dismissed.

At that time, he didn't know that it was Jingyue's "hands and feet". He only thought that Jingyue was a "broom star", and whoever had dinner with him would be unlucky.

"I found that you are very cunning, comparable to Meng Gong." Lu Xun smiled and pulled Jingyue's hand, turned over the palm and looked carefully, "Ah, you have grown a pair of hands dedicated to killing people."

Jing Yue was delighted, he withdrew his hand, flicked it on Lu Xun's forehead, then leaned over and pressed it against his ear, and said softly: "My hands...are specially used to touch you. …”

Talking nonsense under the blue sky, the thin-skinned man would have stared and blamed, but Lu Xun was still expressionless when he heard it, he raised his hand and pushed Jing Yue's face away, "Don't be poor, it's important to go up the mountain."

At the same time, Qi Wuji led a thousand soldiers and quietly ambushed at the foot of Changbai Mountain in the north of Liaodong City.

The stream flowed down from Changbai Mountain continuously, and the bushes grew very densely. Qi Wuji was lying in a ravine in iron armor, and let out a long breath of foul air.

After sitting like that for a while, he took out a strand of hair from his arms, pinched it between his fingers and stroked it gently.

He cut it off from the end of Lu Xun's hair privately.

This morning Lu Xun called him to his side to give instructions in a low voice. A part of the scattered black hair brushed the back of his hand, making his heart beat half a beat slower. In a strange way, he wrapped a small piece of black hair around his index finger, and then used The thin blade cut off and quietly hid it in the sleeve pocket.

Qi Wuzhi's eyes flickered, he took his hand to the tip of his nose, sniffed it contentedly, and Lu Xun's frowns and smiles appeared in front of his eyes.

Probably possessed by a demon... But how could there be such a good-looking person in the world, as if he walked out of a painting, and took away his own soul.

Lieutenant General Guangquan arranged for the sergeants, walked over to Qi Wuji to report on his duties, and when he looked up, he saw his governor obsessively kissing a strand of hair on his hand, and he was instantly stunned.

In his impression, the governor is not a womanizer, and besides practicing the army every day, he studies the art of war, and lives like an ascetic monk. Whose girl is this who enlightened the governor and fell in love?

"Governor? Governor?" Guangquan reached out and patted Qi Wuji's shoulder, calling out in a low voice.

Qi Wuji came back to his senses, he hurriedly put his hair into his arms, then looked at Guangquan with a straight face, "What's the matter?"

Guangquan looked at Qi Wuji with an expression of "the subordinate understands", and said with a smile, "Which girl is the governor in love with? Go back after finishing this time, and bring the brother to meet the sister-in-law?"

Qi Wuzhi's rough face was blushing immediately, he murmured for a while, glared at Guangquan, and shouted: "What sister-in-law! This commander ordered you to investigate the surrounding situation, have you finished the investigation?"

Guangquan was still afraid of his own governor more than respecting him, and when he was scolded by this whole thing, his gossipy heart that was about to move suddenly became honest.

With his lips pursed, Guangquan said solemnly: "I would like to report to the governor, there is a forest a hundred steps to the west, and my subordinates have already taught [-] soldiers to move there. [-] soldiers were sent to guard, and...in the south of the Fuwang Mansion, the governor...the subordinates feel safe, so they should send people to surround it first."

Hearing this, Qi Wuji raised two thick black eyebrows and remained silent.

He remembered the conversation with Lu Xun this morning.

"The missing 2000 million taels of silver, after deducting the 5000 million taels inspected from Yuan Ren's mansion, and the salaries paid to the officials of the eight prefectures of Liaodong in the past three years, there is at least [-] million taels of silver, this huge amount of money , was instructed by Meng Gong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, changed hands by Yuan Ren, and then used your Liaodong Army as a guise, and finally all of them were remitted to Liaodong Prince Fu's Mansion."

At that time, the sun had just climbed three poles, and the cicadas were singing all over the sky, but Qi Wuji still felt chills running down his spine, "Fu Wang's Mansion? What, what is this for?"

Lu Xun stretched out his slender fingers like white jade, and tapped the number circled with pen and ink, "This is the account that I found very suspicious when I checked Ying Tianfu's account book last night."

"Look," he motioned Qi Wuji to look at the second line, "this article says to buy firecrackers for the Liaodong Army, I looked at the account books of the Liaodong Army, and found that what was purchased at that time was not firecrackers, but ordinary iron halberds So there is at least a difference of more than 5000 taels...Yesterday, Prince Jing sent someone to secretly sneak into Fu Wang's mansion and steal the account book. Yinzi built a hunting ground on the back mountain of Changbai... It is clearly a hunting ground, but it is actually a training ground for soldiers."

After saying this, the room fell into a deathly silence. After a while, when the tea in his hand was completely cool, Qi Wuji said in a hoarse voice, "So...Fu Wang and Meng Ge Lao Peizhi The private army intends to plot rebellion?"

Lu Xun didn't answer this question directly, but only slightly frowned in thought. He paused and said, "Don't jump to conclusions without sufficient evidence. What I need you to do now is to secretly lead a thousand soldiers to ambush at the foot of Changbai Mountain and capture Meng Meng alive." Gong, Fu Wang's side... don't do anything."

"But at that time, King Fu will suddenly launch a siege, and the Liaodong Army will be attacked from behind. Let alone capture Meng Gong alive, all of us will be trapped by King Fu to death in Changbai Mountain." Qi Wuji said.

When Qi Wuji asked this question, Lu Xun didn't answer, but turned to look at Wang An who was sitting beside him.

King An Jingyue pondered for a moment, and said word by word: "For the sake of the old King Fu, give King Fu a chance. If he dares to send troops, I will kill him with my own hands."

The voice was very low, and for a moment Qi Wuji felt that the blood all over his body was icy cold, and he was sweating profusely.

Guangquan saw that his governor did not speak, so he asked repeatedly: "Governor, do we need to arrange troops for Prince Fu's mansion?"

Qi Wuji suddenly came back to his senses, he raised his hands and rubbed his face, shook his head and said: "Fu Wangfu doesn't need to deploy too many troops, just send two or three scouts to keep an eye on them."

"No." Guangquan clasped his fists in salute, turned around and left neatly.

·

Changbai Mountain stands in the north of Liaodong, like a barrier separating the Chu Dynasty and Rongdi. The mountain is covered with snow all the year round. Whenever you look from a distance, you can always see the white peak of the mountain. Therefore, the local people also call this mountain "" Paektu Mountain".

Jing Yue and Lu Xun sprinted with their feet up, and they entered the valley in less than half a stick of incense. The silver snake-like mountain road winds up, and there are lush forests on both sides. Lu Xun stopped, and he supported a rock gently Panting, he said in a low voice, "Oh, it's no good, let's rest for a while."

Just now, in order to keep up with Jing Yue, he used his internal strength, but in the end he pulled the bone-attaching needles in his body, and the pain was so painful that he almost knelt on the ground, and he was already at his limit by pushing himself to the mouth of the valley.

Lu Xun exhaled pretending to be relaxed, and raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead. It was cold sweat from pain, "I'm getting old, and my physical strength can't keep up. You should stop tossing me in bed from now on."

Jing Yue frowned, he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xun, after a moment of silence, he smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Okay, I will listen to you from now on, as long as you are comfortable."

As he spoke, he raised his arms and pulled Lu Xun into his arms, hugging him tightly.

Lu Xun pressed his face against Jing Yue's generous chest, and his heart felt sour.

He understood Jing Yue's smile just now - it was self-deceiving comfort.The lover's reluctance to speak, Jiao Jingyue gradually realized some results that he didn't want to think deeply about in the constant suspicion.

If this continues, one of them will go crazy sooner or later.

"Jing Chengjue, I..." Lu Xun raised his head, put his arms around Jing Yue's neck, opened and closed his thin lips, trembling for a long time, and finally swallowed the choked words, "I promise you, When this is over, I'll tell you what Jing Jun did to me, please, don't laugh at me like that..."

Jing Yue's face was gloomy, he tightened his arms around Lu Xun, leaned over and kissed the man's cold lips, until he took the last breath from Lu Xun's mouth, he reluctantly let go, raised his hand and gently wiped off Lu Xun's lips with his thumb. With the water on the corner of his lips, he nodded, and said softly: "Don't cry, I won't let you have trouble...I only have you left."

Lu Xun closed his eyes. The thing about the bone needle was not that he didn't want to tell Jing Yue, but that he couldn't say it, because Qiyu was still in Jing Jun's hands, and the child didn't end well in two lifetimes. I don't want to see Qiyu being tortured and killed again.

At that time, Jing Jun threatened him with Qiyu, as long as he dared to tell Jing Yue a word about the bone needle, Qiyu would end badly.

So before returning to Chang'an, before confirming Qiyu's safety, he couldn't let Jing Yue know.

Sighing almost inaudibly, Lu Xun calmed down, then withdrew from Jing Yue's arms, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Changbai Zhongfeng first, and we'll talk about my private affairs later."

Jing Yue nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.Lu Xun is not the nature to be threatened by others, he can hide it from himself again and again, there must be a last resort, he likes him, respects him, and doesn't want to force him, so Jing Yue still chooses to remain silent after struggling to the end.

There are many beautiful scenery in Changbai Mountain. Along the rugged mountain road, there are pine trees, bamboo clusters, and there are thousands of zhang rocks and mountains, and the flowers and paths are quiet and lingering.

The two walked about a few hundred zhang away, turned around a huge rock lying outside, and saw three or four corpses lying on the ground.

Jing Yue and Lu Xun looked at each other, and walked up to check tacitly.Jing Yue squatted down, lifted a corpse with one hand, and pushed up the man's narrow sleeve, a flame mark suddenly appeared on the wrist, and looking at the other corpses, there were also flame marks.

"It seems that they have already handed over their hands." Lu Xun glanced at the long sword stuck in the chest of the Zoroastrian, raised his eyebrows and said, "How did you startle the Xiaoyao faction?"

Jing Yue threw the corpse on the ground again, then straightened up, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and raised her chin to the left hand side, "There's blood there, do you want to see it?"

"No." Lu Xun shook his head resolutely. He said, "Our goal is to get the Qianqiu Talisman before Lu Xun. Even if you tell me where Zhang Huan died today, I won't go."

Zhang Huan was leaning his back against a big rock to hastily bandage his wound. He sneezed, shrugged his nose, and muttered in a low voice, "Who is cursing me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three silver shuttles coming towards him through the wind, Zhang Huan rolled on the ground, three "Puff puff puffs" sounded, and the silver shuttle stuck on the ground, and two Zoroastrians surrounded them, looking Show fierce light.

"Fuck. He. Grandma. Grandma!" A sturdy man spat out blood, raised his arm to hold a scimitar of a Zoroastrian, turned his head to look at Zhang Huan, and shouted: "Aren't you Say we go up the mountain to pick herbs! This mother is about to put her life in it, and she even picks fart herbs! What are these turtle grandchildren?!"

Zhang Huan raised his foot and kicked one person away, and said with an apologetic smile, "Brother, don't be angry, isn't this the thousand-year-old snow lotus that they want to snatch from us on the top of the mountain? When the brothers kill this group of people, there will be a lot of rewards when they go back!"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a crisp young voice from behind him, "Who are you fooling around with?" Turning his head to look, the white robe flashed in front of him. His disciples arrived.

Duan Yao and Cheng Jue stood back to back, and drew out the long sword with a "swipe", a cold light appeared everywhere, and the sleeves fluttered.

"Will the Xiaoyao faction also come to pick herbs?" Zhang Huan smiled "haha", turned around gracefully, and bowed to the two of them, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Who is with you?" Duan Yao rolled his eyes undisguisedly, and he snorted out of his nostrils, "You guys fought all the way to the door of our Xiaoyao faction, master taught me and senior brother to come here Check."

Zhang Huan was not annoyed, just bowed with a smile, "I'm sorry, I disturbed Sect Leader Shen, and I will come to the door to apologize on the next day."

There was a scuffle here, but Lu Xun, who was standing not far away, turned blue and white.
