The two of them walked back to the Hou Mansion unknowingly. When they arrived in the main courtyard, Zuo Binning changed her clothes and was ready to set off.
Wen Qingzhu quickly walked over and stopped her: "Are you going back to Dingyuan?"
Zuo Bingning nodded firmly: "Yes! The previous message could not be delivered, so I decided to come in person. Lu Ce told me..."
Her eyes dimmed for a moment, but then they brightened up: "Since I came out to report the news in person, those who secretly intercepted have not dared to take action, so I think he must have some hidden agenda! So I have to go find him!"
When Wen Qingzhu heard this, he didn't dare to let go: "You mean you want to go to the Huns?"
"Of course! How else would we find him!" Zuo Bingning thought simply.
But Wen Qingzhu doesn't think so. When it comes to who knows Lu Ce best in the world, she thinks that no one can control him.
Yang Liu came to report something outside, Fu Lie said and left.
Wen Qingzhu forced Zuo Bingning to sit down and said to her seriously: "You can't go to him! This will put him in a dilemma!"
Zuo Bingning's eyes began to shine, she grabbed Wen Qingzhu's hand and said in surprise: "You can see it too! He didn't really betray Da Qi!"
"Of course not!" Wen Qingzhu knew very well what Lu Ce was like.
But seeing how happy Zuo Bingning was, she added another punch: "Don't be too happy first. Although he won't help the Huns to fight Daqi, he is still treason and defecting to the Huns, so he will definitely sit down." The best and fastest way to show your abilities is to win a battle!"
Zuo Bingning's expression changed, and she couldn't help but exert her strength, which made Wen Qingzhu's hand hurt.
However, she still held back and continued to explain to Zuo Binning: "But don't worry, Lu Ce's parents and sister died at the hands of the Huns. He will never really do it for the Huns, but we will still eat it in the early stage." Just some losses."
"No! How could Lu Ce help the Huns to attack us Daqi people!" Zuo Bingning stood up, not wanting to believe it at all.
But Wen Qingzhu could only ask her: "Then tell me, why did he go to the Huns? Isn't Daqi good? There are outstanding people, great rivers and mountains, how can they be better than the Huns!"
Zuo Bingning squatted down holding her head. She didn't know, she really didn't know!
Why did Lu Ce go to the Huns? Why is this
Wen Qingzhu looked at her with some distress, stood up, walked to Zuo Bingning and knelt down, patted her shoulder gently and said, "Since he stopped after you came out of the capital, it means that Lu Ce asked you to come to the capital to see me."
"Really?" Zuo Bingning turned her head, her eyes a little confused, and asked the question Wen Qingzhu just asked, "Then why did he go to the Huns?"
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and said in a sad tone: "It's probably because of the death of his family members, and it may have something to do with some people in Daqi."
On the surface, he couldn't kill those people, but he could use the hands of the Huns to get rid of those people.
This should be Lu Ce's plan.
However, nothing is absolute. Wen Qingzhu still needs to know what happened to Lu Ce in the northwest.
She helped Zuo Bingning get up and sit down, and asked patiently: "Do you know his whereabouts after he returned to the northwest?"
Zuo Bingning shook her head.
But soon she remembered something and said quickly: "About the beginning of the year, it was customary for Lu Ce to live in the General's Mansion until the seventh day of the new year. But on the third day of the new year, for some unknown reason, he had a quarrel with Uncle Lu. Then he left and no one knew where he was."
"He quarreled with the general? Are you sure?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't imagine that Lu Ce was also a quarrelsome person
Zuo Binning nodded: "I'm sure! The second sister came to me at that time and wanted me to persuade him, but he closed the door and didn't see anyone at all. At that time, the second sister told me everything that happened that day, as if It’s because of the issue of following the rules of civility and martial arts.”
"Who is Xiao Gui?" Wen Qingzhu looked confused.
Zuo Binning sighed: "He is Uncle Lu's eldest grandson and the only son of Brother Lu and his wife."
Wen Qingzhu nodded. She had also known about the situation of the Lu family in Dingyuan before.
Lu Chengen had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, his wife and the second son all died on the battlefield. At that time, the second son's wife had just been married for a year and could not even leave any children. Later, she remarried under Mrs. Lu's decision.
His only daughter was also very miserable. During the accident that happened to the Lu family, Miss Lu Er’s husband also died on the battlefield. She and her daughter had been living in the Lu family. Later, Mrs. Lu passed away because of the heavy blow. The second young lady is in charge of the Lu family's back house.
"The problem in Dingyuan is actually a bit serious. If the Huns don't invade, I'm afraid something will happen to Dingyuan sooner or later. Lu Ce must have his reasons for doing this. If you go there recklessly, you will only bring trouble to him. Please do you know?"
There are some things Wen Qingzhu knows that others don't.
For example, Lu Ce's sister, her death even the Lu family thought was an accident, but it was not at all.
There must also be problems with the death of his parents back then. After all, at that time, Jiang Yue was going on a killing spree.
"Then am I just going to wait like this?" Zuo Bingning's tears flowed out again.
She was not a girl who loved to cry, so she immediately raised her hands to wipe her face, not wanting to appear too vulnerable.
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "We can only wait now. You have a good rest here for two days. When things in the capital settle down, I will ask Lu Lei to take you back to Dingyuan in person."
"Yes, where is Lu Lei?" Zuo Bingning realized later, and then recalled that when she came to Beijing, something seemed wrong on the streets.
Wen Qingzhu just looked at her with a smile and said nothing more: "It's dangerous outside now. You should stay at home and don't go out casually."
"Yeah." Zuo Bingning vaguely felt that something was not going well. She was not a very smart person, so she didn't ask any more questions.
As night fell, Wen Qingzhu stood in front of the window, looking up at the night sky with twinkling stars.
It's been two days, and it's time for Prince Ning to take action.
After all, Lu Ce's incident happened so coincidentally, it really provided them with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Lu Tao brought over a Suzhou-embroidered cloak and looked outside worriedly: "Why hasn't Beidou come back yet? Could something have happened?"
"Don't worry, there are only a few people in the world who can hurt Beidou. They can't just find such a person."
Although Wen Qingzhu said he wasn't worried on the surface, he was actually very depressed inside, which was indeed a bit strange.
No one can hurt Beidou, but why hasn't Beidou come back yet
Could it be an accident
At this moment, in a courtyard outside the city, Beidou was squatting on the roof of the main house, looking warily at the circle of men in black around him.
They are not ordinary assassins because they have no murderous intent.
It seemed that he just wanted to trap him.
Beidou raised his head and glanced at the sky. He was already a quarter of an hour late. He wondered if his wife would guess his situation.
But soon, he made a decision.
Because he was worried that if he didn't go back for too long, his wife might send Xi'er out.
If Xi'er met these people, she would have no chance to fight back.
Beidou's eyes narrowed slightly, he took a deep breath and shrank into a ball as much as possible.
His change put a lot of pressure on the surrounding group of men in black.
The guards around Mrs. Fu Hou seem to be different.
Just as everyone was staring at him, Beidou suddenly moved and rushed directly towards the capital.
Even if more and more people are blocked in front of them, each of them holds a big knife in their trembling hands.
The pale moonlight illuminated the sharp blade. Normally, one would not dare to rush forward, but this man in front of him dared!
Everyone took a deep breath and prepared to meet this person.
But he didn't expect that when he ran to the corner of the eaves, his whole body suddenly stretched out, and his legs and feet retracted in the air.
Then - everyone's eyes widened.
Because this man actually jumped directly over their heads!
In the end, he fell directly outside the other courtyard. People outside had just come to support him, resulting in no one holding the place where he fell.
Of course Beidou took the opportunity to escape quickly.
In a flash, the figure disappeared into the darkness.
In the middle of the yard, under a big tree, 'Wei Lin' came out with an ugly expression.
In an instant, all the men in black knelt in front of him, lowering their heads and waiting for his resignation.
"waste!"
A scolding made everyone's hearts hang.
However, this 'Wei Lin' didn't say anything after all. He turned around and walked out, and immediately ordered in a cold voice: "Go and notify Wang Mo immediately! Let him take action immediately! He will never break into the Pingguo Hou Mansion!"
After another two quarters of an hour, Wen Qingzhu's eyebrows frowned.
It seems that someone trapped Beidou.
She couldn't wait any longer, there was only one hour until midnight.
This is a great opportunity to get your hands dirty tonight, and those guys won't miss it.
Wen Qingzhu turned around, and there was a sudden thud behind him.
She immediately turned her head and saw Beidou squatting on the ground breathing heavily, with a layer of red appearing on his dark face.
Wen Qingzhu quickly walked over and handed him a pill to replenish his internal strength.
After Beidou ate it, he quickly regained his strength.
In less than two quarters of an hour, he stood up as usual and told Wen Qingzhu in sign language: "Wang Mo, and Wei Lin, fake. There are also some people with very strong martial arts skills. Lu Lei and Wei Lin were both caught." No! Du Weiniang is not outside the city!"
Wen Qingzhu was overjoyed and thanked him immediately, then asked Jasmine to go out and send a message to Fu Lie.
If Du Weiniang is not outside the city, she must be in the city!
If it's not enough, that fake Wei Lin actually leads a group of masters. What is his origin
Wei Lin was very thoughtful and Lu Lei was very powerful in martial arts, yet they all fell into his hands
It seems that the accident tonight is caused by the group of people led by this fake Wei Lin.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu asked Beidou again: "Have you seen Shen Jiao?"
Beidou was a little confused because he didn't know who Shen Jiao was.
At this time, Lu Tao quickly handed over Shen Jiao's portrait.
Beidou looked at it carefully and shook his head firmly.
Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange. It was the Shen family who arrested Princess Ning and Du Weiniang. Why was Shen Jiao not here at this time
But it's good that Shen Jiao did not hurt anyone before. This is something Wen Qingzhu discovered a long time ago.
Whether it is Mrs. Lei San or Princess Ning and her daughter, they are all safe and sound.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Jasmine came back.
Came back with Fu Lie's letter.
After Wen Qingzhu saw it, his eyes lit up. The old palace was indeed the only way for them to pass through.
Just after reading the letter, the thundering sound of iron hoofs and the sound of killing suddenly came from the gate of the capital, like a thunderstorm falling from the sky, making everyone in the capital wake up at this moment.
