Mu Huagui

Chapter 164 Night Walk
"I can't help it. The Xianjun King is taking people everywhere, and I don't want to hide in the palace, so that's all I can do." Chang Zaixian didn't care.

"The palace is not in danger for now, I'd better stay outside with you." Lu Huo'er decided.

"Good brother, be polite."

Just when Lu Huo'er was about to say that this had nothing to do with loyalty, he saw Chang Zaixian took out a set of women's clothing and wanted to put it on him.

"Go away..."

"No...go...drive..."

"The king of Xianjun said that the emperor was sick, so he took care of government affairs on his behalf. Outside the palace, there were people from the king of Xianjun, and all the ministers were persuaded to come back to visit the sick." Chang Zaixian took out a map, pointed to the palace and said to Lu Huo'er.

After all, it was only a day, and many people didn't react.And Xianjun Wang also pretended to be nonchalant, doing everything in secret.

Chang Zaixian was also looking for news about Duke Zhen, but unfortunately the hidden guards didn't find out, so it was even more difficult to count on him.

However, this was obviously not his own idea, and he pointed excitedly at the Duke of Zhen's mansion and said, "The Duke of Zhen's mansion said that the Duke was seriously ill, but the information he inquired was that the Duke was not in the mansion at all. Went out and never returned home."

Anyone who is interested in the news on the surface can find out, but they don't know where King Xian will kidnap Lord Zhen Guo.

"I think he's still in his own mansion." Chang Zaixian said forcefully, taking a picture of the map.

"What's the reason?"

"My instincts are always right."

Lu Huo'er pushed him away, opened the door and left.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Go back to sleep."

……

"Why are you dressed like this?" Lu Huo'er complained.

"Shh, we're here to investigate the terrain, so of course we have to wear night clothes." Chang Zaixian pulled Lu Huo'er and hid under the eaves with his head bowed.

"The outside is full of people from Prince Xian, how do we get in?" Lu Huo'er has no problem with jumping onto the eaves, but it's a little difficult to bring Chang Zaixian with him.

Chang Zaixian smiled inscrutablely, beckoning him to follow.

In the alley at the back door of the Duke's Mansion, there was a small car with Yexiang parked. When two servants saw Chang Zaixian, they were startled and said in a strong rural accent, "Young Master, I'm quitting. You told me that you are looking for an old friend on a date, how can you dress like this. It is not a good person at first glance, I can't give you the car. "

Chang Zaixian held on to the old man's arguments for a long time, and Lu Huo'er silently handed over a piece of silver from behind.The old man's eyes straightened, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms.

"This little brother is a good guy at first glance. I believe you, go in quickly. Remember to stop at..."

Both of them were impatient to listen to the old man's nagging, and left with the smelly cart.

"Wait." Lu Huoer, who was pushing the cart behind, stopped.

"what."

"You don't want to go in dressed like this to pick up Ye Xiang, do you?" Lu Huo'er took off the night vehicle and threw it into someone's courtyard wall.When Chang Zaixian heard it made sense, he also took off his clothes and threw them in like Lu Huo'er.

When entering the back door quickly, Chang Zaixian consciously changed places with Lu Huo'er, letting Lu Huo'er walk in front while he pushed the cart behind.Although he had put some plaster on his face, he has been pampered since he was a child, and no matter how you look at it, he is qualitatively different from the people at the bottom.

Lu Huo'er was originally dark, and was much stronger than him, so it's not easy for people to find out if there is a problem with the dark lights at night.The two entered the mansion smoothly, pushed the cart inside and put it away.

Chang Zaixian took out the map and was still looking at the terrain, Lu Huo'er shook his head and sighed, and simply grabbed him by the collar and dragged him away.

"Wow, you're so amazing, how do you know the terrain here?" Chang Zaixian babbled on the sidelines.

"If you continue talking, you'll attract the guards, and you'll get rid of it yourself." Lu Huo'er ignored him and just walked ahead with her head buried. Chang Zaixian had no choice but to shut up and follow behind carefully.

"The front is Duke Zhen's study, further inside is the second door, I'm afraid it's not easy to get in." Lu Huo'er can still give it a try by himself, but with Chang Zaixian, he can only speak conservatively.

"Go to the study first." Chang Zaixian rushed out first, and was tripped and fell to the ground as soon as he pushed open the door of the study.Alas, before he could yell out, his two arms were already held up by someone, one left and one right, and he couldn't move.

Before Lu Huo'er could make a move, he saw a gleaming steel knife resting on Chang Zaixian's neck.Chang Zaixian snorted through his nostrils, and raised his hand helplessly, indicating that he would not resist.

The two were blindfolded and walked for a long time before stopping at the gate of the most remote courtyard in the Duke's Mansion.Lu Huo'er heard a few words from the person escorting them, and stood there waiting.

With a sound of "squeak", the door opened and the two were escorted into the room, only then were the blindfolds removed.

Seeing the person sitting upright in front, Chang Zai said in surprise, "It really is the Duke of the country, why do you..."

Could it be that Xianjun Wang even persuaded Zhen Guogong? This is impossible.The current empress is the granddaughter of Lord Zhen Guo, how could she disregard the safety of the empress and crown prince and help the unrelated King Xianjun.

"Oh, if it hadn't been confirmed by someone, I would have never thought it was you two brats." Duke Zhen obviously hadn't slept, and there were still unfinished landscapes on the table.

"If Ye Xiang's car hadn't been pushed in, how could we have smelled bad?" Chang Zaixian fanned his nose with his hands, and said, "Speaking of seriousness, you shouldn't be standing tall and majestic at this time Did you take the emperor and the army into the city, and then wipe out the guy who wanted to usurp the throne and the rest of his party, King Xianjun? Why are you hiding at home?"

Zhen Guogong was silent, just staring at him.

Chang Zai's eyes brightened, "You and the emperor have big plans."

"The old man's grandson has not returned since he went out the day before yesterday. The other party wrote a letter threatening that if the old man does nothing, he will naturally return safely. Otherwise... Sigh"

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Of course he feels sorry for his granddaughter and the prince, but the grandson is the only child of three generations of their Wei family.After thinking over and over again, he could only agree first to keep him safe.

Secretly, I mobilized all my staff to search, but unfortunately there is no news so far.

"You can't do anything..." Chang Zai Xian muttered, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "You don't have to do anything, we will do it, and those who have small things will do their best. Are you right, Huoer."

Lu Huo'er clasped his fists like Duke Zhen and said, "The king of Xianjun is still a treacherous minister, trying to seek the throne in vain. The emperor has a plan to deal with it. The prince of Dongjun has brought [-] elite soldiers to the outside of the city to join the emperor."

"Really, that's great." Lord Zhen Guo was forced to hide in the mansion, and he didn't know much about the news. He only knew that the emperor was out of the palace and was locked outside the city, but he didn't know that Zhou Mingyuan had returned with his army.

"Of course, this junior just entered the city from the outside today and got in touch with Brother Chang. He just wanted to use the power of Duke Zhen to open the city gate." Lu Huo'er looked upright, seeing that Duke Zhen nodded repeatedly, and didn't even look at it anymore. Always have a fresh look.

After asking about the emperor's recent situation, he took out a jade pendant and said, "The old man wrote a letter and gave you a list. You can find these people. They are all old subordinates of the old man. This jade pendant has never left him in his life. They have all been there." seen."

As he spoke, he took out the letter and list that he had written earlier from under the landscape painting on the desktop, and handed them to Lu Huo'er together.

"This old boy has already prepared, please enter the urn, we are the ones who will be counted." When going out, Chang Zai Xian scratched his head and said angrily to Lu Huo'er.

It made the person who led them in Zhen Guogong's mansion look back at Chang Zaixian frequently, as if he wanted to punch you flat if you said a word.Lu Huo'er tugged at his sleeves, no matter who was scheming, their goal was still achieved.

The king of Dongjun was guarding the gate of the palace, and the men and horses of the king of Xianjun were outside. They couldn't get in, and the king of Dongjun couldn't get out either.Lu Huo'er analyzed again and again, and found that this matter could only be done by the people they left outside.

However, working with such a person... looking back, Chang Zaixian swaggered out of the mansion.Seeing Lu Huo'er turn around, he stepped forward and hugged Lu Huo'er's shoulder.

After going back and reading the list overnight, Lu Huo'er thought it would be better to start with that person.This person must not only have a certain prestige, but also have real power, and more importantly, he must be loyal to the emperor.

"If you want me to say, spread the poison to the gate of the city, and the two of us will finish by opening the gate." Chang Zaixian said while playing with his fingers and yawning.

"Poison is not a panacea. The overbearing poison prescriptions of our ancestors have not been passed down. It is rare for us to be able to deal with dozens of people. There are no thousands of people stationed in that city gate, so we just missed a few who didn't fall down. , we are finished." Lu Huo'er never thought about it, but unfortunately, no matter how he calculated, there was no chance of winning, so he had to give up.

"How about this one?" Lu Huo'er asked, pointing to a person on the list.

Looking back, Chang Zaixian had already fallen asleep lying on the table, Lu Huo'er had no choice but to put the list in his arms.I don't know what's going on with the Xia family. Her father doesn't have an official position. As long as he doesn't show up at this time, he should be fine.

Lu Huo'er still decided to go to Xia's house to have a look, and called Shan Bo to help Chang Zai Xianfu into the room to rest.I went out alone, and the curfew at night was stricter than before.Soldiers on patrol can be seen at any time, it seems that King Xianjun has taken over the defense of the capital.

Xia Zisu heard a light knocking sound from outside the window, and stopped the maidservant from exclaiming.Putting on his clothes, he asked, "Huo'er, is that you?"

Hearing the answer from a familiar voice, Xia Zisu opened the door to let him in, grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Jiao'er, she hasn't returned to the city since she left the city for pilgrimage, and she's still pregnant."

"She gave birth to a son, and the mother and child are safe. The son is also by her side, don't worry." Lu Huo'er heard about the danger in the middle from Licorice, but he didn't intend to tell Xia Zisu, because she didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.

"Really, that's great." Xia Zisu was so happy that her eyes were crooked with a smile, "I was so worried that I thought I was locked up outside the city, so I sent people to your house several times, but they couldn't find you. There are no people. The palace is the same, is something wrong?"
