When going downstairs, Wen Qingzhu felt that someone was watching him.
Glancing over, I found a familiar figure sitting by the window in the private room opposite.
As Wen Qingzhu walked and looked, the man turned his head slightly, revealing a pair of familiar eyes.
Zhang Ke!
"What's wrong?" Fu Lieshun looked over and looked at the man who was looking sideways by the window, frowning slightly, "I heard from Su Lu that this man has been wanting to meet her alone for the past few days. Do you know him? "
Wen Qingzhu looked away and nodded slightly: "I know him, an old friend."
Old friend? Fu Lie looked again and found that the man had stood up.
The familiar figure and small movements that couldn't be concealed made Fu Lie recognize this person at a glance as Zhang Ke!
He knew about Zhang Ke and Su Lu's past, and he never had a good impression of Zhang Ke.
Even though Fu Lie knew that Zhang Ke was a pawn placed by Wen Qingzhu next to Jiang Yuancheng, he still disliked Zhang Ke very much.
After living for so many years, there were very few people Fu Lie didn't like.
The first one is Lu Ce, and the second one is Zhang Ke.
After leaving the Border Inn, Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie walked together.
"By the way, I also have a mansion here in Dingyuan. Do you want to go and have a look?" Fu Lie suddenly asked as he walked on the street.
Wen Qingzhu originally wanted to go see him, but he was worried that his identity would be discovered, so he refused: "Let's not go there for the time being. I'm not worried about Dingyuan now."
Fu Lie felt a little disappointed. He actually wanted to talk to Wen Qingzhu alone about the Bizi Tang.
But she obviously didn't take this matter to heart.
After taking two steps, Wen Qingzhu suddenly thought of something and said to Fu Lie, "It's okay to go, but we have to go quietly."
"Okay." Fu Lie felt a little calmer.
Before going back to Fu Lie's mansion, he and Wen Qingzhu went back to the Lu family.
As soon as I got closer, I saw Lu Jiajun appearing at the door. Everyone was holding torches, and they surrounded the place tightly!
Among the crowd, Lu Chuan was riding a horse and commanding something.
Wen Qingzhu quickly ran forward and asked, "What happened?"
When Lu Chuan saw them, he quickly ordered his subordinates: "Hurry up and get a horse, no! Come with two horses!"
"What happened? Where are you going? Why did you suddenly mobilize troops into the city?" Fu Lie looked around and found that these soldiers were all elites of the Lu Family Army.
It seems that something big happened in the Lu family.
Lu Chuan glanced at the house and said, "Lei Shuo was... stolen."
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but open his eyes and asked: "What do you mean by stealing! That's a living person! The Lu family is the most heavily guarded in Dingyuan!"
Lu Chuan didn't know that someone actually broke through the Lu family's defense today: "I'm sorry! This matter..."
Wen Qingzhu didn't want to see him, so he turned around and rushed to the house.
When they arrived at Lei Shuo's room, Lu Chengen was talking to Zuotang.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu approaching, they both turned around.
Wen Qingzhu ignored them and hurried to the inner room, only to see an empty bed.
There were wrinkles left by someone lying on it, but Lei Shuo's figure had disappeared.
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes and clenched his hands.
what is going on? Why does Lei Shuo get into trouble again and again? Look at that person.
Since he can sneak in, he must be able to kill Lei Shuo.
But he didn't, instead he always wanted to rob Lei Shuo.
Even though the Lu family is as strict as the Lu family, there are still loopholes taken advantage of.
Maybe, it’s not a gap!
"Sir, I will investigate this matter carefully—"
Before Lu Chengen finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Lu Chengen: "I know what the problem is, and I also know who took Lei Shuo away!"
"Who?" Lu Chengen frowned.
Wen Qingzhu concentrated on answering: "The man drawn by Lei Shuo."
Lu Chengen was puzzled: "We thought so too, but this man looks very unfamiliar, and there is no information about him at all. How can we find out!"
"Lei Shuo said that he is a Huns!" Wen Qingzhu walked out and looked at Zuo Tang and said, "What does Mr. Zuo think about this matter?"
"Whatever you say is what you say!" Zuotang didn't say much at all.
Fu Lie and Lu Chuan were also standing at the door, looking at Wen Qingzhu, waiting for her to speak.
Wen Qingzhu thought about it for a moment and said to them: "This man is a Huns, and he is also a Huns noble. He looks like a Central Plains man. He can only be the child of Huns and Daqi people, but he is He is so powerful that he can not only enter the yamen like no one else, but even the Lu family cannot guard him, so he can only be the fourth prince of the Huns - Jieta!"
"Is this your lord's guess?" Lu Chengen asked hesitantly after hearing this.
Wen Qingzhu curled his lips: "Are you guessing? Just kill the Xiongnu directly! Sweep the Xiongnu grassland and catch them one by one. You can always find them!"
"Sir!" Lu Chengen's tone became serious, "Starting a war at this time is not the right choice!"
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways: "What choice does the general think is the right one?"
Lu Chengen remained silent. He was very aware of Wen Qingzhu's strength.
The Zhao family suffered such a big loss before, but Zhao Qing could not bear it.
Is it their turn now
Wen Qingzhu saw Lu Chengen's worry and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, before the war begins, I will do two things. One is to count the three armies, and the other is to blow up Shuangfeng Mountain and build the city wall!"
"Sir, do you really want to fight?" Lu Chengen felt angry in his heart. He could tolerate Wen Qingzhu's command, but he would never allow her to command blindly!
Wen Qingzhu said indifferently: "If we don't fight, then General Lu will be prepared to accept the imperial edict of dismissal!"
No longer caring about them, Wen Qingzhu turned around and left here.
Jasmine hurriedly followed, leaving the room completely silent.
Lu Chuan swallowed. He had heard many rumors about Wen Qingzhu, but when he saw with his own eyes that she dared to scorn even his own father, he actually felt the slightest admiration in his heart!
"Xiaochuan!" Lu Chengen's voice brought Lu Chuan back to reality.
He quickly stepped forward seriously and stopped in front of Lu Chengen: "Dad."
Lu Chengen glanced at Fu Lie, said goodbye, and took Lu Chuan to retreat temporarily.
When there was no one else in the room, Zuotang walked up to Fu Lie and asked cautiously: "Sir, do you really want to fight?"
"Yeah!" Fu Lie nodded.
Zuotang's expression was extremely solemn, thinking of Wen Qingzhu's words just now.
I felt even more regretful, if I had known that he would rather marry his daughter to Jiang Yuanan!
In this case, she will not go to the Huns!
Zuotang said goodbye and left. Since war was inevitable, as the prefect of Dingyuan, he might have to make complete preparations.
The first step is to report to the imperial court for instructions on food and grass.
Wen Qingzhu returned to her room, and after a moment, she stood up suddenly.
"Old guy! He actually plotted against me!"
Jasmine followed her and asked in confusion: "Sir, is this General Lu?"
Wen Qingzhu laughed, nodded and replied, "Yes, he is deliberately irritating me."
Lu Jiajun is now forced to retreat by Zhao Jiajun. It is a life and death situation.
If he wants the Lu family to continue, he must seek change.
So he has been waiting for a chance to fight!
Now that Wen Qingzhu had presented him with this opportunity, the Lu family's defense was comparable to, or even superior to, the Forbidden Army.
The reason why he insisted on objecting was to make her say what she just said in public.
From this point of view, Lu Chengen must know who kidnapped Lei Shuo.
After a while, Fu Lie knocked on the door outside.
He came in and said to Wen Qingzhu: "The general wants to see you."
Wen Qingzhu followed Fu Lie to Lu Chengen's study and found Xia Xia kneeling in the middle of the room, with Lu Chuan also kneeling next to her.
After entering the house, Fu Lie closed the door.
After Wen Qingzhu entered, Lu Chengen smiled heartily and asked them to sit down.
She looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and felt doubtful.
Lu Chengen then said: "The princess keeps her word, but she must keep her word!"
Seeing the change in his expression before and after, Wen Qingzhu naturally guessed: "Did anyone have an informant in the Lu family before?"
"The princess is indeed very smart, but I have cleaned up all the spies just now. The princess can stay in the Lu family."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and asked urgently: "The person who captured Lei Shuo is really the Fourth Prince of the Huns?"
When it came to business, Lu Chengen suppressed his smile and replied seriously: "That's right! Ever since the portrait of the Yamen appeared, I knew that Zita was eyeing Lei Shuo. I happened to have seen his true face, so I stayed put. "
"Then why did you deliberately let him capture Sister Shuo?" Wen Qingzhu was a little angry, knowing that the other party was a Hun prince, yet Lei Shuo was captured.
Lu Chengen raised his hand: "Princess, don't be anxious, listen to me and explain slowly."
Wen Qingzhu nodded, and then Lu Chengen said: "I knew it was Zhita as soon as the portrait came out. This person had an interaction with the Lu family in the name of a businessman, and he left Dingyuan only after the Dongchuang incident happened, so I know what he does. His style is exactly the same as that of King Zuo Xian! Since he didn’t touch Lei Shuo, he will never touch her! There must be an ulterior motive in arresting her!"
"So you let him take Sister Shuo away?" Wen Qingzhu was still angry.
Lu Chengen glanced at Xia Tian and talked about another thing: "How should I put it? I had always suspected that there were spies in the house before, but the people in the house had no problems. It wasn't until Jieta sneaked in that I found out that there was a spy in the house. Xia Tian leads the way.”
"She is from Zita?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't believe it. Looking at Xia Tian, he didn't think it looked like it at all!
Unexpectedly, Lu Chengen shook his head: "It's not Xia Tian, it's Gu Kuo!"
Wen Qingzhu didn't seem to be surprised. After all, the incident in Tail Village and Lei Shuo's injury were all related to Gu Kuo.
She believed that it happened by chance, but after she came here, Gu Kuo came to see Xia Tian much more frequently.
Wen Qingzhu had already had doubts in his heart.
"General, I am willing to die to apologize!" Xia Tian suddenly raised his head, took out a dagger from his sleeve, raised it and stabbed himself in the neck.
Lu Chuan had already noticed her, and when he saw her taking action, he reached out and grabbed his dagger.
The blade cut his hand, and blood dripped down.
Xia Tian immediately let go of his hand, tears couldn't help falling down, he looked at him blankly and asked: "Why? This is my fault, why don't you let me die to apologize? You have reminded me before, but I didn't believe you …”
Xia Tian's crying became louder and louder. Lu Chuan then threw away the dagger and held Xia Tian in his arms to comfort him: "I didn't like Gu Kuo before, not because I thought he was a bad person, but because I thought he was unreliable. Three years ago The Huns were in civil strife, and he took you to the border without even knowing what was happening!"
Sighing, Lu Chuan patted Xia Tian's head and said: "You grew up with me, and I won't watch you being abducted by unreliable people! I just didn't expect that he turned out to be a subordinate of a tower. I thought I think it was probably the time three years ago when he came back alive from the grassland."
Xia Tian raised his head, his eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts, and choked up: "I didn't think much about it at that time, I just felt that he was pitiful since he was a child, and no one thought much of him, but he escaped from the Huns, and I thought he was still capable! I really didn’t know that he even deceived me! He even betrayed Da Qi!"
Lu Chuan said nothing, just lowered his head and continued to kneel.
Because his father hasn't finished speaking yet, he also has a problem with this incident.
Lu Chengen looked at his youngest son and finally understood that he was wrong. He felt a little relieved: "Xiaochuan, tell yourself, where did you go wrong?"
