I'm with the second man

After Feng Qing read the letter, the expression and Lu Siheng were almost copy-pasted. He didn't expect that so many things happened in Beijing in just ten days.

"Li Qiu, turn around and go back to Beijing." Lu Siheng said rushing outside.

With Lu Siheng's order, he took a shortcut to the capital.

"The emperor was poisoned, Shi Qian was placed under house arrest, the crown prince was deposed, and Xiao Jingchen got married..." Lu Siheng raised his hand and pressed his temple as he spoke. Such a ruthless person, he actually managed to get married before the emperor passed away.

Feng Qing frowned, and he said: "Now that the crown prince has been deposed, and the emperor is running out of time, there is only more than half a month left. If King Ping wants to do something, I'm afraid we won't have time to prepare after we go back."

"He will definitely make moves," Lu Siheng propped his head, and his head hurts when he remembered how he made trouble in the original novel. It was Xiao Jingchen who was against him and cooperated with the third prince of Beirong Kingdom at that time, now everything is in advance, and precautions must be taken early."

Feng Qing's face turned cold instantly when he heard the words, but it was the restraint in his bones that kept him from losing his composure on the spot.Unexpectedly, for the sake of the throne, Xiao Jingyu would go so far as to betray the country even to the enemy.

Although he controlled his emotions well, Lu Siheng was aware of his temper, raised his hand and touched the back of Feng Qing's hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'll send someone a message back later. In [-], Xiao Jingyu may not be able to connect with the Beirong Kingdom, besides, Xiao Jingyu's actions have been watched under Xiao Jingchen's nose, and he will not really make him do anything."

Feng Qing didn't expect such a dignified prince to do such a thing just now, so he calmed down and said, "Uncle Lu and my father are still under the control of the emperor, if Xiao Jingyu doesn't want to brazenly bear the infamy of the world's scholars in the future, these few days God will definitely start with the courtiers first."

Lu Siheng spread out a piece of paper and said: "No one knows what Xiao Jingyu will do for the throne, we can only rush back as soon as possible. If all goes well...we will be able to reach the capital in about eight or nine days."

After a letter was written, Lu Siheng was about to have someone pass the letter away, but just as he was about to lift the curtain of the car to fly the letter out, Feng Qing suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Lu Siheng put down his hand and turned to ask.

"Based on my understanding of the emperor, once the letter is sent to the general's mansion, he will know immediately. At that time, Uncle Lu will definitely be invited to the palace by the emperor. Instead of this, it is better to explain the reason clearly in the letter from the beginning. Then let Uncle Lu take the initiative to meet the emperor, and the emperor will decide the rest." Feng Qing said.

Lu Siheng really didn't have Feng Qing's understanding of these details of the ancient imperial power. After hearing this, he asked, "The emperor's eyeliner is so powerful? My hidden guards are all trained by myself. No one can find out except me."

"According to my guess, there are still many people in the emperor's hands who have gone through two generations of imperial power changes. Compared with your hidden guards, they are probably inferior." Not only Lu Siheng is not clear, but almost few people in the entire capital know about it. These, Feng Qing said: "Jinyiwei, Imperial Guards, etc. are people who work for the emperor on the surface. In addition, every emperor will have his own carefully cultivated secret guards. You know this. But Emperor Wu—that is, the last emperor, he left behind a group of dead soldiers he had cultivated since he was a child. These people have their own responsibilities, not just to protect the safety of the emperor. Two people are in charge of monitoring, and if anyone makes any changes, the emperor will be notified immediately."

The corners of Lu Siheng's mouth twitched. Didn't Emperor Chongyang know all the things he did?

"Do you think the emperor knows Xiao Jingyu's actions now?" Feng Qing asked with a smile when he saw him like this.

Lu Siheng gave a "tsk" and said, "Nine times out of ten, I don't know, because Xiao Jingyu has been made Pingwang, and his face is disfigured, so there is no legitimate reason to succeed to the throne, so naturally people won't always stare at him What's more, Xiao Jingchen doesn't want Xiao Jingyu to make small moves more than the emperor. If I were the emperor, wouldn't it be better to send someone to watch Xiao Jingchen? But... since the emperor has so many people in his hands, how can he be poisoned?"

"Most of the emperor's people are used in the court, and there are other people in the harem to watch, but they are just to watch the concubines, and they will not report everything without details. This time the deposed prince was poisoned. The reason is that there is no one to cook for him, the deposed prince was still a prince at the time, and it was the negligence of the subordinates that the prince had no food to eat, who would dare to tell the emperor about it, for fear that he would lose his head?" Feng Qing said.

"No wonder in the books I read before, those emperors who did not die well were either killed by their concubines, their sons, or by themselves." Lu Siheng sighed: "However, although it is dangerous to be an emperor, as long as there is If you are smart enough, you can control all the affairs of the world in your own hands, and you can know what you want to know, no wonder so many people rush for power." Feng Qing smiled: "There are actually not many people who can do this, let alone What's more, how can so many useful people be cultivated in a year or so, our emperor is rare in the past."

I'm afraid that apart from Lu Fang, even Feng Yi may not know about this kind of thing, but Feng Qing actually pieced together the things behind it only based on the clues of the big and small things in Beijing.Seeing Feng Qing's cleverness again, Lu Siheng used his internal force to smash the letter in his hand, then took out the paper again, and said with a smile: "Then please trouble Mr. Ruyu to help me think about it, what kind of rhetoric can I deceive the emperor?" Bar?"

Feng Qing nodded and smiled: "You can give it a try."

Beijing.

After receiving the letter from Lu Siheng, Lu Fang was shocked when he saw the above content. King Ping actually colluded with the Beirong Kingdom. Lu Fang lowered his eyebrows. He has been deploying in Beijing according to the emperor's wishes these days, ignoring Beirong On the other side of the country, if it was really like what was written in the letter, they didn't take precautions, and they knew what the consequences would be after thinking about it.

Lu Fang burned the letter, frowning tightly. The letter said that the three of them were already rushing back. Calculating the time, they should arrive in five or six days. He didn't know whether he should be happy or not. It's good for the water to stay away, but as his son, Lu Siheng was doomed to escape from birth, and this was his responsibility.

He sighed silently, Lu Fang was not Lu Siheng, he naturally understood what the emperor was thinking, so he got up and went to the palace without much delay.

After listening to Lu Fang's words, Emperor Chongyang squinted at him and asked, "You mean—the second child may collude with the enemy country for this position?"

"Yes." Lu Fang lowered his head.

"Oh?" Emperor Chongyang asked: "Since he has such thoughts, he will not let others find out. Then how do you know about this?"

"Back to the emperor, Quanzi wrote in Jiangnan saying that Beirong Kingdom is in chaos now, and those people shouldn't have put too much energy on other things at this time, but he discovered some time ago that there were some Beirong people in Jiangnan. The people from the Rong Kingdom seemed to have martial arts skills, so Quanzi followed carefully and found that they had contacts with a man with a capital accent, so he sent a letter to mention this matter to the minister." Lu Fang was talking about the letter As written in the book, when Lu Siheng and Feng Qing wrote the letter, they discussed how to say this matter so that the emperor would not be suspicious and at the same time achieve the goal smoothly, and finally decided to tell Lu Fang so.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Emperor Chongyang was [-]% convinced. If it had been before, he would have been furious and ordered people to investigate clearly. Once the truth of what Lu Fang said was confirmed, he would immediately send someone to arrest Xiao Jingyu and deal with it. Now, after hearing this, he just gave a sneer of unknown meaning, then waved his hands and said, "Okay, you go down and check it out, and then we'll talk about it after you've checked it out."

Lu Fang was taken aback for a moment, and then resigned.

As soon as the people left, Emperor Chongyang raised his hand and made a gesture, and immediately someone jumped off the roof and knelt on the ground.

"Is what he said true?" Emperor Chongyang asked.

"Yes, General Lu's letter just arrived today, and General Lu came to the palace." The secret guard said.

After a while, Emperor Chongyang knocked on the dragon chair with his fingers and asked, "What is Lao Wu doing recently?"

"The fifth prince has been staying in the mansion with the concubine every day recently, and never went out." The dark guard said.

Never go out?I'm afraid it has been deployed in secret all the time, and Lu Fang knows about it, so the fifth child must have known about it long ago.During this period of time, he really understood that among the three sons, the fifth son was the one who was the most discreet and most like him.Emperor Chongyang glanced at the dark guard, and said, "Keep watching Lao Wu."

The dark guard bowed his head and said yes.

On the day Xiao Jingchen's letter was delivered, Lu Siheng and the others were stopping to rest when suddenly an arrow shot at the tree trunk next to them, with a letter on it.

Lu Siheng secretly relaxed his body, and signaled Li Qiu to step forward to take a look. Li Qiu took out the gloves from his arms and put them on, went over to pull out the arrow, picked up the letter, checked it, opened it again, and checked it carefully to confirm that it was not poisonous. , before handing it to Lu Siheng.

The letter is very short, only five short words:

Yu and Bei colluded.

Feng Qing also saw the above words, and the two looked at each other, each of them knew it in their hearts.Li Qiu asked: "My lord, do you think... who wrote this letter?"

Throwing the note into the fire, Lu Siheng said: "Now in the capital, who else can know this so many days in advance."

"Five..." Seeing that Lu Siheng didn't refute, Li Qiu hesitated, "Then why did he send us a letter?"

Seeing that Feng Qing had finished eating, Lu Siheng got up and said, "Because he asked for something." After speaking, he got into the carriage with Feng Qing.

Li Qiu shook his head, really not understanding these complicated things.

"You don't feel uncomfortable?" Lu Siheng asked.

"Really not," Feng Qing said with a smile, "Don't ask."

Because they were in a hurry recently, they didn't usually stay on the road too much. Lu Siheng and Li Qiu were both used to it.

"We've traveled more than half the distance, and we may arrive in five days. After returning, I'll send some people to kill Zifu. The capital is no different than outside, so you must be careful." Lu Siheng was still worried after thinking about it, and instructed.

"I have nothing to do, but you, there were wolves before and tigers behind," Feng Qing said: "Now that Xiao Jingyu has been confirmed to be in collusion with the enemy country, after returning to Beijing, you and Uncle Lu must be responsible for one side, swords are ruthless, especially those of the Northern Rong People, I am afraid that I have long wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of you, and it is not surprising that I will use some insidious tricks to deal with you."

After hearing this, Lu Siheng smiled and leaned closer to Feng Qing, and said in a low voice, "Are you worried about me? When I think of so many people wanting me to die, my heart hurts so much that I can't breathe?"

Feng Qing glanced at him and said indifferently, "I just don't want to lose my spouse because of this."

Lu Siheng: ... There is not love between us, but hatred, right?

After Xiao Jingyu confirmed the cooperation with Qu Xin, the third prince of Beirong Kingdom, Qu Xin sent people to Huaxia Kingdom, and the two parties agreed on a time to meet.

The meeting place was set at Xiao Jingyu's own courtyard, and when he arrived, the attendants in the courtyard told him that people from Beirong Kingdom had arrived.

Xiao Jingyu went to the front hall, the man was standing in the middle looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, when he heard a noise, he turned his head and saw someone coming, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "His Royal Highness Ping, I have known you for a long time, my name is Mogla."

Xiao Jingyu nodded, did not shake hands with him, sat directly at the head, and said straight to the point: "You and I are very clear about the purpose of meeting today, let's make a long story short, don't waste time."

Mogla's face froze, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickly returned to normal. He withdrew his hands and sat down, and said with a smile, "It seems that His Highness King Ping doesn't like small talk, so let's get straight to the point."

Xiao Jingyu licked Gou's lips exposed outside the mask coldly, and said, "It's so good."
