Cheng Hu was in a bad mood. He used five thousand people to toss all night, but he found nothing. He was really depressed.
Originally, he thought that since the Sankong Bridge had turned him upside down, the only house that had not been searched was Lu Zheng's residence, and Lu Zheng's house might have a problem.
After all, on the ground of Liuhe, Cheng Hu, the strength of Lu Zheng, is very clear. Lu Zheng has the ability and conditions to do this. As for the motivation, Lu Zheng's mentor, Nie Yong, has already taken refuge in the prince.
The prince might have drawn Lu Zheng into his camp in secret. Under such circumstances, when the prince wants to complete an assassination operation, Lu Zheng can just use this to show his loyalty!
Otherwise, how could the assassin get out of the high wall and disappear without a trace if he was injured by an arrow?
However, Cheng Hu did not expect that there was nothing unusual in Lu Zheng's house. Lu Zheng was attending the Luming Banquet at the time of the incident. Will a man who had just remedied the Yuan in high school secretly plan an assassination against the royal family? ?
After all, Lu Zheng is still less than eighteen years old. He is just a young man. At this age, he dares to take the world's strange risks to assassinate the royal family?
Cheng Hu thought about it, he was really unsure, he was entangled in conflicts, and Lu Zheng unceremoniously satirized him, embarrassing him, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, all turned into the frustration of failure.
His Royal Highness King Qin was in a good mood. He didn't seem to be affected by the assassination. After getting up early in the morning, he was surrounded by a group of guards and went for a walk in the back garden.
"His Majesty! I will die. I will investigate all night yesterday. I searched the entire Sankong Bridge and found nothing. The assassin seems to have disappeared out of thin air..." Cheng Hu knelt and pleaded.
King Qin waved his hand gently and said, "Since the other party dared to act, he would naturally be sure and respond. This king has no foundation in Jiangnan, and the only person who can rely heavily on is General you.
And the general is not from Jiangnan, although he holds five thousand cavalry in his hands, but the tiger falls into the Pingyang, it is a pity and sadness! "
Cheng Hu lowered his head and his face was red. Although His Royal Highness King Qin's words were polite, Cheng Hu heard His Highness's disappointment. Cheng Hu holds five thousand cavalry soldiers in his hand, but he can't catch an assassin. How useless is he as a general?
Can he be regarded as a veteran of the Hundred Wars? Is it still worthy of your Highness's attention to reuse?
"His Majesty, I have missed a hundred secrets, and I will ignore Master Zhan’s boat. Last night, Liuhe County magistrate Nie Yong left his post and Master Zhan personally sent him off. Coincidentally, they happened to be out of the pier at night, and the final officer’s ship Several thousand households did not dare to embarrass the general governor and missed the perfect opportunity.
At the end of the day, he estimated that Nie Yong’s boat should have just entered the north canal at this time. I am chasing it by now. By surprise, I will definitely get something. I beg your Highness for approval! "Cheng Hu said.
King Qin frowned slightly, he snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Zhong Fuming behind him, and said: "Sir, it is not bad as expected. Except for my brother, who cares about me, no one else cares about me!
General Cheng, get up, you can't be blamed for this. The other party carefully planned and unexpectedly, let alone you didn't expect it, even Mr. Zhongfu, who was so predictable.
Okay, it's just a little assassin. It's not on the stage at all. Right now, for me, the top priority is to finish the Jiangnan affairs as soon as possible and return to the north as soon as possible, and then it is important to get an edict to the north in front of my father! "
...
King Qin still lives in Cheng Hu's house, and Lu Zheng still lives next to him. Nie Xiaonu, the assassin, seems to have adapted to his role as a maid, and he has the meaning of competing with Yinger.
The people in the family are not surprised. Grandpa Lu is very fond of Lu Zheng and will arrange for a group of maids to come over every three to five. Lu Zheng’s previous treatments were either given away, or stayed at the house to do chores, or let them assist. Gu Zhilun went to deal with business matters.
This time, there was suddenly a little slave girl in the house. This must be the arrangement of the old lady. Now Lu Zheng is no longer what he used to be, he has become Lu Jieyuan!
Although the Lu family is the home of the Lord, there are not many scholars in the family. Since the founding of the Dakang Dynasty, there have been no more than 18 Jinshi and more than 50 Juren. As for high school Xie Yuan, there has never been one before. Lu Zheng can achieve Yuan Xie Yuan, surpassing the ancestors and ancestors, undoubtedly the weight is extremely heavy!
Generally speaking, the disciples of the wealthy powers do not have to be senior high school scholars. For example, Lu Qian and Lu Shanchang did not have a jinshi background. However, the Dakang dynasty was based on culture, and jinshi was the only serious background. If you want to enter the cabinet to worship the minister. , Without a serious background as a Jinshi, that is absolutely impossible.
Once the prime minister, he must first convince the scholars of the world, and scholars are the most difficult to serve, they simply do not look down on the rich and powerful, even they may not even look down on the royal emperor! They only look at the same kind, so it is necessary to worship Xiangxue and become a leading scholar in the world.
Lu Zheng's momentum is so swift and violent, high school jinshi is just around the corner. If the Lu family didn't say anything, they would have surprised the people in the house.
Nie Xiaonu looks lovely, his appearance is not in the shadow, and his figure is smaller than the shadow, but he has a different charm. Even Ying'er was very kind to Nie Xiaonu, and the girl next to Lu Zheng was convinced of Nie Xiaofu.
The only person in the house who was hostile to Nie Xiaonu was the boy. He couldn't figure out why Lu Zheng took such a risk. It was only after he was bored for a few days that he faintly understood Lu Zheng's intentions.
At present, the forces in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the hidden forces, Lu Zheng said second, and no one dared to say first. Lu Zheng's power includes the old foundation left by Yan Lao, the strength accumulated by the Lu family for decades, as well as the hundreds of dead assassins of the Gu family and the spy network.
The power under the control of the boy is so powerful that it made a little woman go to the south of the Yangtze River silently and almost successfully assassinated His Royal Highness King Qin. What is the face of the boy?
Lu Zheng deliberately kept Nie Xiaonu by his side, putting himself in danger, not to mention other considerations, at least one thing, that is, dissatisfaction with the boy is absolute.
If the assassin was not directed at King Qin, Nie Xiaonu was here specifically to kill Lu Zheng. Is Lu Zheng alive or dead now? The boy is a wise man, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he wanted to understand these ways.
Then, right now, Lu Zheng himself has such a strength in Jiangnan, others don't know, can Cheng Hu not know? In Cheng Hu's eyes, Lu Zheng was one of the few behind-the-scenes planners capable of accomplishing such an assassination, although the two of them were brothers who had become worshipped.
But now that Cheng Hu has taken refuge in King Qin, would he still put brotherhood before the truth? Therefore, Lu Zheng's situation is doomed to passivity, and this situation is caused by the incompetent mistakes of the boy.
Nie Xiaonu was staying by Lu Zheng's side, irritating the boy all the time. The boy became vicious and scolded all the king's under him in blood, and then began a stern purge against Jiangnan's hidden power. , It was quite effective, and got unexpected gains.
Lu Zheng was reading in the study. He was originally a Xinke Jieyuan. He should have been right here, but because of the assassination of King Qin, the entire Liuhe has been screaming recently. Those guests who want to visit Lu Zheng and those who want to invite Lu Zheng, gifted and dignitaries, They all chose not to drip the muddy water this time, so Lu Zheng was happy and relaxed, reading and writing every day, living a relaxed and comfortable life.
Nie Xiaonu obediently placed a cup of tea in front of Lu Zheng, and he stopped talking. The book that Lu Zheng put down looked up, and she said:
"My son, the young slave is getting healed day by day!"
"Want to go? Do you think you can go?"
"Little slave didn't want to leave. King Qin didn't leave. Little slave didn't dare to leave anyway, because he might cause trouble to you, son!"
Lu Zheng smiled, shook his head and said, "Is it just my trouble? I'm afraid it's not necessarily. Your master, Master Zhan Tianqi, and even the prince may be involved in a huge whirlpool because of your rashness. My trouble is counted. What? The trouble you bring to the master behind you is a great trouble!"
Nie Xiaonu's face instantly turned bloodless, she stared at Lu Zheng, and said: "You...you...you..." She said three you on her face, and a look of extreme panic appeared on her face.
"Don't be nervous, this time you assassinated King Qin knowingly did not do anything, you must have a mortal heart. Now you can earn a life if you can get it back!
As for your details, since I dared to save you, I would naturally not be ignorant. Do you really think I saved you because you were beautiful?
These days, it is not easy to find a good dog, but it is too easy to find a gentle, considerate and good-looking girl. You can buy a few for a few dozen silver! "Lu Zheng said lightly.
Nie Xiaonu pursed her lips, a thin anger appeared on her face, and said, "The son, how do you want to arrange it?"
Lu Zheng said quietly, "Since you have already lived, you can live forever! It won't be long, because I will enter Beijing soon, so you can leave freely at that time.
Don't look at me like that, on the Prince's side, you are dead. Only if you are dead, the prince can feel at ease at this time. If not, King Qin stays in the south of the Yangtze River. You failed to assassinate King Qin and you are still alive. With your IQ, because you can think of the people behind the scenes in Beijing at this time, they will suffer. What kind of suffering! "
Nie Xiaonu took a deep breath and suddenly said loudly, "Master Lu, you are very powerful. I have heard of your name a long time ago, but don't be too happy. This time King Qin came down to Jiangnan. Coming to dissolve the Jiangnan Power Sovereign!
There was a counselor named Zhong Fuming next to him. I heard their conversation in the lurking state. They deliberately showed weakness in Jiangnan in order to misunderstand the emperor. They felt that Jiangnanquan’s needle could not be inserted, water could not enter, and they were always against the court.
If King Qin returns to the capital smoothly, Jiangnan will be unlucky..."
Lu Zheng suddenly stopped, his hand holding the book shook fiercely, and stood up subconsciously. It is not the first time he has come into contact with Zhong Fuming, and he has a deep understanding of Zhong Fuming's femininity and weirdness.
In the past few days, he occasionally thought about the purpose of King Qin’s coming to Jiangnan this time, why he came with a high profile, and now he has become ineffective, he did not expect Zhong Fuming’s plan...
