Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Lu Zhanxing invited his brother to go to Liuliyuan for drinks and dinner.

"Brother, have you reached an agreement with grandfather?"

Let's do it again quickly. It's annoying to be always on edge like this.

Lu Zhanyan slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, and then replied: "Well, since grandfather doesn't object, why should I object?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing was very happy: "That's great, big brother, I will always support you."

"Thank you, Brother Xing. In order to make Emperor Qian relax his vigilance, I will marry Princess Yaoguang."

Moreover, Princess Yaoguang's men are also very important to him, and he must make Princess Yaoguang his own.

"Brother, don't worry. I have asked Huaishu to complete the task you requested. I think Princess Yaoguang will not refuse."

After all, in the eyes of Princess Yaoguang, this was the person she had chosen, and how could she refuse since her elder brother was so outstanding?

Lu Zhanyan nodded slightly: "There is one more thing. I have discussed with my grandfather and decided to retreat behind the scenes and go to Jiangnan to develop power, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and pretend to support the fifth prince.

Let Wei Gelao and the Minister of War temporarily turn us into allies. When the time is right, it will be time for me to take a step forward. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing thought for a moment and nodded: "That's good! Why don't you take grandpa with you when the time comes!"

"Let my parents go with me to fulfill their filial duties, while I will stay in the capital."

The Duke of Anguo's Mansion cannot be completely empty, so naturally someone must be left in the capital, otherwise it would be easy for Emperor Qian to notice something was wrong.

"No!"

Lu Zhanyan frowned, having never thought of this possibility. He originally wanted to gain a foothold there first, and then find ways to pick them up one by one. With the secret help of the Fifth Prince's people, it would not be difficult.

But he was really worried about leaving his brother in Beijing.

"Grandfather will not agree to leave. I have tried to persuade him. Grandfather wants him to stay in the capital, and Second Uncle will stay to observe mourning. He claims that he will take Third Sister to find a miracle doctor, and you and Second Aunt will go with them. This way it won't be abrupt. When the time is right, I will send someone back to pick them up."

After hearing his elder brother's plan, Lu Zhanxing thought for a moment and said, "My father is old, so why not let them go together? I am at least smarter than my father. What if something happens and I don't have time to react? And my grandfather is so old, how can he withstand it?"

"That's it. My parents have lived in the capital all their lives and have never been out for fun. Let's take this opportunity to let them go out for a walk!"

"But……"

My grandfather originally wanted my younger brother to follow him to develop power together, but what my younger brother said was not unreasonable.

If my second uncle runs to my grandfather the first time he encounters a problem, can my grandfather bear it even though he is so old?

"Don't worry, let's do it this way! I'll stay to take care of Grandpa, and the rest of us will move away. However, I think we should let my eldest brother-in-law know about this. He will definitely support us."

In the book, the eldest brother-in-law was willing to take the blame in order to save his eldest brother!

Lu Zhanyan was a little hesitant. This matter was so dangerous. The more people knew about it, the more dangerous it would be. Could Gu Xuyao ​​really hold on?

"Brother, not only is my eldest brother-in-law trustworthy, my second brother-in-law is also absolutely trustworthy. And my eldest sister, second sister, and third sister, don't underestimate them either, just trust me!"

My second brother-in-law Zhou Li committed suicide for my second sister. How could he not be believable?

The eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister are all willing to sacrifice themselves for their families, which makes it more believable.

Seeing his brother's sincere eyes, Lu Zhanyan hardened his heart and said, "Okay, but the woman is not calm enough after all, I'm afraid she will be exposed. But my eldest and second brothers-in-law will talk to them."

The woman Lu Zhanxing, who was not calm enough, said: "..."

Brother, do you look down on me?

Noticing his brother's resentful look, Lu Zhanyan thought that he was angry with him for not trusting his eldest sister, second sister, and third sister. He could only smile and comfort them: "It's not that I don't trust them, but I'm worried that they will show some signs on the surface. If they are discovered, the whole family will be executed. Therefore, the fewer people who know about this, the better."

Lu Zhanxing: “…”

My elder brother is secretly implying something about me again.

Forget it, brother doesn’t even know that he is a woman, so let it be!

"Brother, where are Mu Qingli and Xiao Lanjue?"

These two are the aides, how can we not let them know?

Lu Zhanyan's eyes were deep: "Mu Qingli is trustworthy, Xiao Lanjue..."

Moreover, among his two aides, he only trusted Mu Qingli, because he had something on Mu Qingli, so he could trust her.

Xiao Lanjue was in trouble, as he did not have any evidence in his hand. If he thought the matter was extremely treasonous and leaked it out, the Duke of Anguo would be doomed. Therefore, he could not trust Xiao Lanjue completely.

unless……

"Oh? Why is Mu Qingli so trustworthy? Brother, do you have something on him?"

Lu Zhanyan glanced at his brother who was "eager" to know Mu Qingli's weakness, and couldn't help but laugh: "I guess so, but I promised him that I wouldn't tell him."

"Brother, please tell me, I won't tell anyone."

It's good to have something on him, so she can threaten him to become hers.

Lu Zhanyan smiled and shook his head. He was very alert in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Xingdi is a homosexual. Mr. Mu is handsome and he might have something on Mu Qingli to threaten him into submission. He has to be on guard.

In fact, if Lu Zhanyan had said it, Mu Qingli might have agreed reluctantly, but she didn't expect it to be stuck with the prince.

Seeing that my elder brother remained silent, I felt very disappointed.

What a great opportunity!

But he didn't ask any more questions. He just thought about Xiao Lanjue and felt that although he was handsome and resourceful, he was not one of them. Unless...

"Brother, why don't you marry my cousin to him? Only when she becomes your own, you can use her with confidence!"

cousin?

Lu Zhanyan's eyes lit up slightly. They both knew that the "new cousin" was just a fake, a person belonging to Princess Yaoguang, and the indenture contract was also in Lu Zhanxing's hands. She could be said to be a person under their control.

If I marry Xiao Lanjue, I can monitor him and completely win him over. This is indeed a good idea.

"Brother, I will go and tell my cousin that she will be very willing to marry a counselor that you value."

Moreover, Princess Yaoguang is about to marry in. Xiao Lanjue is eldest brother's man, and Yaoguang is her former master. Isn't this the master and servant can be together again!

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Brother Xing."

He was deeply touched by Xingdi's planning for him.

"Brother, you're welcome. If this succeeds, you have to make me a prince!"

Lu Zhanxing said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll do what you say!"

The two brothers chatted until very late before parting ways. The next day, Lu Zhanxing went to see his cousin Luo Qiuyu: "In order to keep you in the mansion and fulfill your relationship with Princess Yaoguang as master and servant, and to keep you by my mother's side, I have decided to marry you to my brother's aide Xiao Lanjue. Are you willing?"

Luo Qiuyu's face lit up with joy. The princess had done her a favor, so of course she was willing to continue their master-servant relationship with her. However, she asked shyly, "Why not Mr. Mu..."

She thinks Mr. Mu is better looking.

Lu Zhanxing said calmly: "Mr. Mu already has someone he likes, so don't even think about it."

Hey! You fake cousin, you dare to compete with me for someone?
