Zhurou

Chapter 131 Introduction
Hearing the word "Lv Guanren", the voice was clear and calm, and it was even more familiar to the ears. The counselor Lu Xianzhang who hurried from Caizhou stood at the door in surprise for a long time, looked at Zhao Mingzhi's face repeatedly, and trembled when he finally confirmed it. Asked: "Your Highness... What's wrong with His Highness's face?"

Seeing Caizhou's envoy, Pei Yong was originally sitting beside him, but he was worried for a long time, so he stood up and picked up the iron rod on the side again and held it in his hand.

Hearing Lu Xianzhang's question at this moment, although he was prepared, he still frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Mu Xiang, and motioned for the other party to leave the door with the bodyguard in the room and wait.

But Mu Xiang stood at the side in a daze, first he heard that the post official said that the court came to look for Miss Zhao, instead of not looking for Pei Jiedu, I thought it was weird at first, but now I saw that the person called "His Royal Highness" and all the forbidden people were following behind her. Wei, for a moment, couldn't tell how to write the word "Your Highness", let alone guess the meaning, so he just looked at Zhao Mingzhi and Pei Yong in a daze.

But after all, she has become a habit of obeying orders, and before she can move her mind, she has already stepped out with several escorts in the room stiffly, not daring to cover the door, let alone eavesdropping, so she can only walk a few steps, The second time I wanted to look back and serve tea again, but I was really cowardly, so I had no choice but to give up. I thought about Zhao Mingzhi going to Jingzhao Mansion to do things and do things, and I thought about it again and again, and my feet were numb and I didn't know how to move.

As soon as the idlers left, the several imperial guards retreated to stand by the door, leaving only Zhao, Pei, and Lu in the room.

Only then did Zhao Mingzhi explain to Lu Xianzhang: "It's just some pretense, it's okay."

He asked again, "I don't know what Caizhou should do?"

As soon as Lu Xianzhang finished his question, he felt that something was wrong. Hearing Zhao Mingzhi's question now, he didn't know that he was worried about the young emperor Zhao Hong, and he was also concerned about the situation in Caizhou. Everyone takes turns entering the palace to guard the palace every day. Your majesty is devoted to the state and learns day and night. He has never complained. He only worries about the people and his majesty. He has wanted to send people to look for him several times, especially when someone from Junzhou came to report it last time. Only then did I realize that His Highness bumped into Di Bing on the way..."

He didn't dare to look at Zhao Mingzhi, he had a lot of questions in his mind, but in the end, he only narrated the big and small events in recent days.

From this, Zhao Mingzhi knew that after the group met Di Bing halfway, Yushuang and others were seriously injured and could not walk, so they could only lie in bed to recuperate. State.

The court learned that another soldier and envoy was sent to Jingzhao Mansion day and night to meet him, but because of the difference in time and distance, he happened to miss him.

Now that this matter has been skipped, I heard that my younger brother is watched by the pavilions of the two mansions every day, and Mo Xiang is watching, and the attendants are all old people from the domain, even if Li Taifei wants to intervene, it is rare to get close.

Zhao Mingzhi began to let go of the big stone in his heart, and then thought of the Forbidden Army in Gyeonggi, so he asked, "Where is Qian Du referring to?" Is there any news?"

Lu Xianzhang's complexion turned ugly all of a sudden, he wondered if he thought of Zhao Mingzhi's suggestion before, paused for a while, and said: "Although His Highness reminded me, only two places are separated, the roads are chaotic, and the imperial court can't react in time. It's hard to find a way to check and balance, and it's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

He laid the groundwork for a while, and finally broke the bad news: "The letter I got a few days ago, Qian Weiwu had already abandoned the capital. Thousands of forbidden troops fled south..."

Zhao Mingzhi immediately connected what he heard today with Qian Weiwu.

I can't blame the old and weak women and children in Suanzao County under the jurisdiction of Gyeonggi all fleeing.

Qian Weiwu, the commander of the horse and infantry, ran so vigorously, fleeing and robbing at the same time, so that the people along the way would not panic.

Speaking of this, Lu Xianzhang's face became more and more ashamed, and he said: "The officials are incompetent and unable to reverse the decline. Since I heard the news of His Highness, I have taken an errand to the north. First, I came to help guard the capital, and second, I came to meet His Highness. The house will be folded, and I will also be used as a supervisor of the army..."

"Fortunately, even though Qian Weiwu abandoned the city, he did not lead his army to surrender. His Majesty has ordered him to stay temporarily..."

He wanted to continue talking, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw that besides the princess sitting on the opposite side of the wooden table, there was actually another person standing beside the princess.

Lu Xianzhang was startled, he quickly raised his head, and saw that this person was not wearing the uniform of the imperial army, obviously not the one who had escorted the princess to the imperial guards of the Jingzhao Mansion earlier, he was holding a stick in his hand, only a few steps away from the golden and jade man, although the distance was not It is extremely close, but it is far away from the usual position of guarding the station.

At this moment, in this situation, how can Lu Xianzhang care about etiquette.

He immediately cast his eyes over it, only to feel that although the man was sideways, but just looking at his figure and aura, he knew that he was definitely not a good person.

The light in the hall was not bright, and the man was right next to the princess, Lu Xianzhang was afraid that if he was not careful, if he turned his eyes to one side, he would be rude, so he couldn't look at the other person's face carefully, so he could only glance at it with a frown.

And Pei Yong noticed it for a moment, turned his face around, and raised his eyes again.

His eyes were sharp, and when he looked back, there was no trace of respect, not to mention a bit of disdain.

Lu Xianzhang didn't take any precautions, but felt that gaze was looking straight at him, which was inexplicably terrifying, and he couldn't help taking a step back. When his head and heels stood still, he came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes immediately, and asked vigilantly: "Your Highness, is this person ..."

While speaking, he looked directly at Pei Yong.

He only felt that the other party's demeanor and movements were extremely displeasing to the eye, he had always been sticking to the front and back, never overstepping the distance, at this moment he became hostile for no reason, and even couldn't wait for Zhao Mingzhi to speak, and glared at Pei Yong.

Seeing that he was wearing an ordinary military uniform, not an official's attire, which didn't match his temperament at all, Lu Xianzhang felt even more strange, and immediately shouted: "That soldier, which army and which team are you from?" ? From whom?"

He was very displeased and said: "How dare you stand beside His Highness with this sharp weapon? Have you never been taught by someone to act so frivolously? What is the etiquette?!"

Lu Xianzhang has been a censor for two years, and when it comes to etiquette, he is very familiar with it. He hardly has to use his brain to find a place with thorns to pick.

But Zhao Mingzhi was stunned, knowing that he was too impatient just now, he only wanted to ask Cai Zhou about it first, and forgot to introduce them to them.

She had known that this officer Lu had always been prejudiced against the person behind him, she never thought that the moment they met today, they would have a misunderstanding, she hurriedly got up and said to her back: "It was my negligence—this is Pei Yongpei Jiedu, Jiedu I have always been loyal and pure and kind, and there were many misunderstandings in the past, but this time the Majesty issued an edict to respond, and I am happy to go north, which is really a blessing for my court."

The dissatisfaction on Lu Xianzhang's face has not disappeared, when he suddenly heard this, his expression froze, he raised his head to look at Pei Yong, he couldn't believe it, but he had no choice but to step forward and say: "It turns out that it is Pei Jiedu, I'm here to greet you."

His courtesy is well done, but there is a bit of reluctance in his tone and expression, which is really hard to hide.
