Save the disabled male protagonist

Early the next morning, Chu Xiao woke up and found that Lu Yuanming had left without knowing when. He touched the jade pillow next to him, and it seemed that there was still some residual warmth on it.

Chu Xiao came back to his senses and groomed as usual. Since Lu Yuanming is going to the border, he must be careful this month so that no one will notice.

Fortunately, there was no one in their courtyard, so Lu Yuanming left Lu Yi to help.

Seeing that Chu Xiao had finished tidying up here, Lu took a look, then hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Madam, the master ordered me to stay here to prevent problems before they happen. If there is anything that needs me, please tell me .”

Lu Yi was also present at the scene yesterday, and he didn't see that miraculous scene. It turns out that Chu Xiao has such a peerless appearance, which is a hundred times better than the princess. Thinking about comparing the two in my heart before, thinking about it now, How can there be any need for comparison?

But now the master's eyes have recovered a bit, so Lu Yi accepted the master's arrangement to stay here. Anyway, Chu Xiao is also his second master, so there is no need to ask him to work.

Chu Xiao thought for a while, since Lu Yi is used by him now, he can teach him some difficult things.

After giving a few instructions to Lu Yi, seeing the other party taking the order and leaving, Chu Xiao also stepped out of the courtyard at this time.

With Chu Xiao appearing in the sight of everyone in the Hou residence, the servants who got the news yesterday were excited all night, wanting to see Madam Hou's true appearance today.

When they saw it with their own eyes, they realized why those servants who had seen Chu Xiao yesterday couldn't describe it. It turned out that Chu Xiao's complexion really couldn't be described in words, let alone what they could imagine.

But they don't think that Mrs. Hou is so strange to people now, because Chu Xiao's eyebrows and eyes are still the same as before, and his demeanor and demeanor are still the same. How could he be fake?

Seeing Chu Xiao, Zhang Yuan felt even more complicated.

She already knew how Lu Zhi forced him to question Chu Xiao yesterday, and when she got up this morning, she saw her husband with a dejected look, who seemed to be a few years older, she didn't have any sympathy at all, instead only disgust and resentment remained.

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a little dazed. Is the day when she can see the end at a glance in the future, is she going to have to go through it?

However, Zhang Yuan couldn't tell anyone about this matter, but seeing Chu Xiao, Zhang Yuan felt both admiration and guilt. In all fairness, with Chu Xiao's looks and talent, why bother to go to the muddy waters of the Marquis Mansion?But he walked so step by step, turned danger into safety time and time again, turned defeat into victory, who can do it?

As for guilt, needless to say, after all, Lu Zhi is her husband, and Lu Zhi has repeatedly done such unbearable things, how can Zhang Yuan deal with herself in front of the other party?

And Chu Xiao's usual attitude slowly eased Zhang Yuan's uneasiness at the moment, but Zhang Yuan knew very well that the past that has become a fact will always be in his heart, and there may be more in the future.

This caused Zhang Yuan to be a little absent-minded today.

Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. During this period of time, he silently observed many people in the mansion. Zhang Yuan was undoubtedly one whom Chu Xiao felt very sorry for.

A good lady from a famous family, both talented and beautiful, not only married to an old man, but also developed a temperament like a clay puppet.

But Chu Xiao could also tell that Zhang Yuan was only limited by the times, and she herself might not be wavering.

In that case, why not help him?

Besides, Chu Xiao's business operations are getting bigger and bigger now, but talents are rare. If Zhang Yuan can be used by him, it would be good.

The northwest has always been bitterly cold. Although it is still late autumn, Yicheng is already snowing in the middle of the night.

This snow is not as pure and white as in the capital city, but because Yicheng is windy and sandy, the loess is mixed with snowflakes and melted, blown by the cold wind all night, the ground is completely frozen into dark ice the next morning, people are not paying attention Then he will fall down and his whole body will be rolled into mud.

In the past few days, Yicheng had a rare major switch, which eased the tense atmosphere in the city.

This is because Liang Jun has retreated during this period of time. Few people know that Liang Jun was also seriously injured in the tragic battle that shocked the whole country a few months ago.

After all, Liang Jun had been circling around Yicheng for nearly a year, but he had not been able to capture the city. As late autumn approached, Liang Jun's food and grass were about to run out, so he made the move to fight to the death.

But Liang Jun won in the end, but he was also a loser. Although Lu Tong was killed and 2 people were killed, because of Lu Tong and others' dying counterattack, Liang Jun was severely injured and unable to carry out the next battle, so he had to withdraw his troops. .

A few days ago, the news of the infighting among Liang Guo's royal family came, and everyone in the army breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there will be peace for a long time in the next six months.

Therefore, Yicheng finally opened the closed gate.

The people of Yicheng appeared on the streets of Yicheng in twos and threes. An old noodle restaurant in the city head that has been open for many years finally ushered in good business today. The stall was crowded with people. The haze left by that war seemed like a tide. recede.

In fact, the common people rarely talked about this matter. They had been with Marshal Lu Tong for a year, and the former hero turned into a sinner in an instant. Such a gap is really unacceptable.

And half a month ago, with the arrival of the imperial envoys, the people began to discuss one after another, each with their own opinions, each with their own conclusions, wishing to draw a conclusion immediately.

However, the progress of the case was too slow, and everyone was anxious until yesterday when they heard that there was finally a result, and General Hu Yue's mansion had been besieged by soldiers in the city.

It seems that this matter was really done by Hu Yue. Hu Yue had followed Luo Guang before, and later switched to the new dynasty. He was a treacherous villain.

Now when everyone talks about him, they all grit their teeth, wishing to eat his flesh and drink his blood, even spitting on the aisle next to the house.

Just when the noodle shop stall was so lively, at some time, a man entered the gate of the city. He was wearing plain cloth and an inconspicuous felt hat. He was leading an ordinary gray horse and walked past them. .

The owner of the noodle shop was stunned for a moment, he just felt that the person in front of him looked a little familiar, but he searched his memory, no matter how much he thought, he couldn't remember when he knew this person.

I just glanced at it by chance, and found that although the whole body of this person is extremely simple, there is no trace of dirt. Walking on a layer of dark ice, his steps are as steady as a mountain.

Li Ziqiu's face was as cold as a piece of iron, but in the whole hall, people were drinking and enjoying themselves, especially King Yu, who was opposite Li Ziqiu, was drinking fine wine and hugging a beautiful woman from Hudi, so happy.

During these days, Li Ziqiu has been rushing to investigate the case, but the case is not progressing smoothly.

Now that Yicheng has already fallen into the hands of the other three people, how difficult is it to start from scratch?Those who knew the inside story either disappeared or kept silent. Although Li Ziqiu had an imperial envoy's letter, the other party also had boundless countermeasures.

This is not the capital city, and the method of Dali Temple will not work, so Li Ziqiu has to find another way, breaking down one by one, making the three of them suspicious of each other. Fortunately, with the help of Lord Hou's old department, the three of them split up quickly, and finally found out the whereabouts of Hu Yue. article of evidence.

But Li Ziqiu asked himself, is this really the ultimate truth he is looking for?Can this really explain to thousands of people, to the [-] soldiers who died in battle, to Lu Tong and his son?

Today, Gu Hanyi hosted a banquet to talk about Hu Yue, so Li Ziqiu was invited to leave. Unexpectedly, King Yu, who had been in hiding for many days, was also here. Only then did Li Ziqiu know that this banquet was unexpectedly held by several people. People call it a celebration banquet.

Li Ziqiu didn't know what to celebrate!

Sima Chong casually glanced at Li Ziqiu, not caring about Li Ziqiu's expression at the moment.

During this period of time, he watched with cold eyes. At first, he was a little worried that if Li Ziqiu persisted, it would not end well.

But when Li Ziqiu really found out something, Sima Chong was not in a hurry anymore.

When Li Ziqiu was suffering and suffering, Sima Chong was enjoying all the blessings. After all, those three people were not fools, and they knew they wanted to curry favor with him.

But Li Ziqiu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Sima Chong knows that there must be someone who will be abandoned.

Gu Hanyi belonged to Xiao An, Sima Chong didn't want to move, and Wu Rui was the person the emperor wanted to protect, so Sima Chong couldn't move, so there was only Hu Yue left.

In the past few days, Sima Chong did not forget to present secret documents to the emperor's brother. Of course, Sima Chong did not mention a word about his accepting bribes.

And Hu Yue also offered a lot of benefits to Sima Chong, Sima Chong was unwilling to let go, so the three of them agreed to it and dragged it off until there was really nothing to do.

Now that the deadline for investigating the case is approaching, no matter how thoughtful Li Ziqiu is, he has no time left.

As for Hu Yue, it is naturally impossible for Sima Chong to let him return to the capital. Hu Yue knows too much, is it okay to ask Dali Temple to interrogate him?

But Hu Yue was also a bit smart, and gave Sima Chong the bargaining chip that made Sima Chong's heart flutter. Sima Chong had already promised to let someone switch his bag with him tonight, and then commit suicide in fear of crime, so there is no proof for his death.

Li Ziqiu watched the absurd scenes, and finally left the table angrily, but his leaving only caused a small splash, which soon disappeared in the laughter.

After the banquet was over, Sima Chong returned to the room with the beauty in his arms. Things have been arranged for tonight, and there will be no changes.

But for some reason, Sima Chong suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Sima Chong quickly shook his head to dispel the unease. The most beautiful people around him are serious.

But Sima Chong didn't notice that a black shadow passed by swiftly across the beam, so short that it looked like a hallucination.

In the middle of the night, Li Ziqiu buried his head at the table and wrote several times on the memorial, but he still couldn't write a conclusion on the case.

At this time, Li Ziqiu connected these piles of scenes and suspicious points together, why couldn't he figure it out?

But in front of the lonely lamp and cold window, only the bright moon was silent, and when Li Ziqiu was full of desolation, he suddenly saw a raging fire on the roof not far away, like fireworks in the daytime, lighting up the night.

Just when Li Ziqiu was at a loss, there was some movement outside the window.

When Li Ziqiu turned around, what he never expected was that he saw a familiar figure.

There was a tinge of frost on Lu Yuanming's brows. After he came in, he didn't say much, but just took out the secret letter intercepted from Sima Chong during this period.

Lu Yuanming waited patiently for Li Ziqiu to look through it, with his back turned to him, "looking" at the fire in the distance with an expression of unknown meaning.

After a while, Lu Yuanming saw that Li Ziqiu's expression was horrified but finally calmed down, and he felt a little satisfied. He said lightly: "Sima Qian betrayed his trust, appointed traitors, slaughtered loyal ones, and is unbearable to be an emperor. I don't know if Mr. Li is willing to help me." A helping hand?"

How could Li Ziqiu not know what Lu Yuanming meant at this moment?He called Sima Qian's name, implying that he wanted to rebel!Now I have to express myself.

Li Ziqiu was dripping with cold sweat, now that the world is set for the first time, and everything is waiting to be done, Lu Yuanming knows if he does this, what will be the consequences?But Li Ziqiu thought about it again, even if Lu Yuanming didn't rebel, how would the end be different from what it is now?

And Lu Yuanming may not have no chance of winning... Lu Yuanming is in the same line as Lu Tong, and has always had the reputation of being invincible. If he holds the military power, it will not be difficult for him to rebel.

But the difficulty is that there is no one in Lu Yuanming's hands now, unless...

But Li Ziqiu also wanted to understand one thing, that is, now that he knew about this, how could Lu Yuanming let him refuse?

Li Ziqiu finally said deeply: "I wish to serve as a dog and a horse."

In the past month, Chu Xiao has been very busy.

He really realized his original idea and opened a bank, still in the name of a commercial bank.

These days, Chu Xiao's several business operations have already gained fame. Suddenly, everyone knew that there was a very powerful business in the capital.

If you have saved money in Yinzhuang, you can get discounts when you buy things in several shops. Naturally, people come to Yinzhuang in an endless stream.

As for the imperial merchants who were planning to come to find trouble before, they disappeared for some reason, and those rich merchants who had some ideas died down one after another.

The imperial merchants have nothing to do with him, what else dare they do?

Seeing that the Qianqiu Banquet is about to start, the whole capital is becoming more and more lively day by day.

For the Qianqiu Banquet this time, I don’t know how many people worked hard, and many merchants from other places specially came to offer treasures, just to make the emperor look good, so it became more prosperous, flashy, and luxurious.

However, in Chu Xiao's eyes, these are nothing but vain things, not worth mentioning.

As time approached day by day, but there was no news of Lu Yuanming, Chu Xiao couldn't help feeling a little worried.

On this day, when it was really time for the Qianqiu Banquet, several small yellow gates in the palace arrived early to welcome Chu Xiao into the palace in person.

The author has something to say: tomorrow will start on Saturday, and the world will be completed on Wednesday.

The next world is entertainment
