Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 181 Countermeasures
Lu Nanzhi had been waiting in the gazebo, with freshly made egg noodles in his hand, watching the heat in the bowl was about to cool down, and was about to get up and pour it away, when a figure came, grabbed the bowl in her hand, and sat on the stone bench Start eating.

"The noodles are going to be cold, I'll make you another bowl." Lu Nanzhi wanted to stop him from eating the noodles, but when she spoke, the bowl of noodles was already half gone, so she simply let him eat.

"Just now I was discussing the holy religion and the case with His Highness."

This can be regarded as explaining why he left suddenly.

The disappointment in Lu Nanzhi's heart disappeared, and he sat down and said: "The business matters have been settled, and I will leave for Beijing in a few days."

Shen Lanze paused, thinking about things in the capital, he couldn't help saying: "Let's go back together."

Lu Nanzhi looked at him suspiciously, feeling that he seemed a little abnormal today.

Sensing Lu Nanzhi's gaze, Shen Lanze put down his chopsticks, and said in a solemn tone: "An accident happened in the capital, Prime Minister Luo was killed, and no one survived except Luo Qingyan who escaped."

Hearing his simple and clear words, Lu Nanzhi was shocked instantly. Is Prime Minister Luo dead, or was he assassinated in the mansion?Who dares to assassinate the imperial court official in the capital, it is simply audacious!
Seeing Lu Nanzhi in a daze, Shen Lanze reached out and stroked her hair and said softly, "This matter is too complicated. His Highness Fifth has already gone to investigate. I don't worry about going back to Beijing alone."

"En." Lu Nanzhi didn't know how to help him, the only thing he could do was to protect himself and not make trouble for him.

Shen Lanze didn't want Lu Nanzhi to be involved in this dispute. After all, the murderer this time was extremely cruel and bloody, and Lu Nanzhi was not suitable to participate in such a thing.

But if she is allowed to go back to the capital alone, I feel a little worried. After all, the capital is not safe now, so after much deliberation, it would be better to keep her by my side.

"You should rest first!" Shen Lanze rubbed his forehead and stood up.

Lu Nanzhi looked at the tiredness between his brows, and said with a smile, "You should also rest earlier."

"Okay." Shen Lanze stopped when he wanted to ask, smiled at her, turned and left.

On the second day, Lu Nanzhi rarely ran out, but stayed quietly in the room in a daze.

Wushuang knocked on the door and entered, saw the person sitting by the window in a daze, with a faint smile on his face, and softly called: "Miss."

Lu Nanzhi looked up at her, "Wushuang, are you really just an ordinary maid?"

Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure, walked over and said softly, "Why do Miss think so?"

"Hehe, I don't believe it." Lu Nanzhi lowered his head and played with the flower in his hand, took off the petals one by one, and said casually: "Since you don't want to tell me, then that's fine, but I hate people betraying me the most."

Wushuang lowered her eyes slightly: "Yes, this servant knows."

The two were silent for a moment, Lu Nanzhi suddenly raised his head, looked at Wushuang and said, "You know about the capital."

"..." Wushuang didn't react for a while, and looked at her suspiciously.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't ask." Lu Nanzhi sighed.

Even if she knew about this kind of thing, so what, if such a big thing happened, the emperor would definitely order a thorough investigation, and the fifth prince was investigating the matter, so it would be easy for her to get burned if she intervened.

Seeing that her own lady didn't seem to inquire about the affairs of the capital, Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she wanted to talk to Mr. Shen.

For a whole day, Lu Nanzhi didn't have the desire to go out, and Wushuang even sent food in.

Shen Lanze didn't care too much, but just looked at the closed door from a distance. Recently, Shengjiao's actions have been more frequent. He and His Royal Highness have already begun to arrange a clean sweep. Now it is a critical moment, and it depends on this time whether they can succeed.

Shen Lanze turned around and saw Xiao Mengying in the distance

Why is she here?What does she want to do?
He walked over quickly and shouted coldly: "You are not welcome here! Princess, please leave!"

Seeing him, Xiao Mengying smiled sarcastically: "Young Master Shen is so majestic, but unfortunately, I am a guest of His Highness Fifth Highness, and I am free to go wherever I want."

"Princess, you better not do anything disgusting, or I will definitely throw you out of here!" Shen Lanze's expression was as cold as snow, and he did not hide his disgust at all.

"Hmph, how dare you!" Xiao Mengying gritted her teeth.

Shen Lanze didn't bother to pay attention to her, and turned to go elsewhere.

"Stop!" Xiao Mengying shouted angrily, and quickly rushed forward to stop Shen Lanze.

Shen Lanze narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light in his eyes, and said in a gloomy tone: "If the princess pesters me like this, do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"

Xiao Mengying's face turned blue, and she said angrily: "Shen Lanze! Don't forget that you are just a courtier, what right do you have to act presumptuously in front of this princess!"

Shen Lanze pulled his lips mockingly, and said, "A subject? Then I will only be a subject of the monarchy, and have nothing to do with you!"

"Hehe! Good! That's great!" Xiao Mengying said again and again.

He glanced at Xiao Mengying indifferently, raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Princess, please!"

Xiao Mengying clenched her fists and stared at Shen Lanze bitterly.

Shen Lanze ignored her and walked straight to the other side.

…………

In the holy palace, the hall was brightly lit, and several elders were sitting around the table.

A man knelt down on the ground respectfully, and presented the letter in his hand.

"What did the spies say?"

The several elders all looked at the letter in the hands of the Great Elder. Now they are like fire and water with the court, so they must act carefully.

"The above said that His Highness Fifth is planning to encircle and suppress in three days? Let us prepare a countermeasure." The elder said, stroking his beard.

Another elder suggested: "We can't continue to sit still, we must make countermeasures in advance."

"Hmph, even a mere fifth prince dares to contend with our Holy Cult, this time let him come and go." The second elder's tone was very arrogant, and he looked down on the court's wine bags and rice bags at all.

This is not the first time that such a siege has been carried out, and none of the wretches in the court can fight.

"Is the Holy Master missing?" The Fourth Elder's words made the rest of the people look at the First Elder, and even the guardians on the left and right couldn't help but look sideways.

The Great Elder put down the letter in his hand and sighed, shaking his head helplessly, "There is still no whereabouts of the Holy Master, and all the people who went looking for him disappeared without a trace."

"What should I do? Could it be that something happened to the Holy Lord?"

The rest of the people were worried. They had been looking for the Holy Master for a long time, but none of the people they sent had replied, and they had disappeared without a trace. This caused chaos within the Holy Cult.And it started to diverge.

"Once the Holy Master lets go, the most important thing for us now is to deal with the situation in front of us, otherwise the entire Holy Cult will be destroyed." The Great Elder snapped.

Although the other elders were dissatisfied, they could only do so temporarily.

"Okay, let's do this for today, everyone hurry back and prepare." The first elder left first, and the rest of the people dispersed one by one.

The left and right protectors looked at each other, then turned and followed the elder.
