"0"
In an instant, both Pei Tianbei and Bai Xue opened their mouths.
Lu Ning looked at him in shock.
Even the eldest princess herself was stunned, her pink lips kissed and her long eyelashes trembled.
He immediately backed away with a blushing face.
He couldn't help but glare at Lu Ning.
What are you going to see for a walk? How could you bump into me?
Lu Ning looked embarrassed. He couldn't help but touch his mouth with his right hand. He coughed lightly and bowed hurriedly: "Your Highness, forgive me. I really didn't mean it. It was just a coincidence. Yes, a coincidence...!"
Pei Tianbei looked like, "Brother Lu, you must have planned this in advance."
Don't think I don't know, you are always thinking about my princess sister.
As a bystander, Bai Xue had long noticed that Lu Ning looked at the eldest princess with something wrong.
She just thought that no matter how bold Lu Ning was, she should understand her identity.
Unexpectedly...he is so brave!
He immediately looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He couldn't help but support the eldest princess and glared at Lu Ning: "I see you frightened His Highness, your face turned pale."
Ahem! Is she born white? She still wants to frame me?
Lu Ning raised his head slightly and quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, you turned around suddenly. Is there something wrong?"
Hearing this, the eldest princess's beautiful phoenix eyes twinkled.
She suddenly turned around because she was shocked by what Lu Ning said just now.
Why can such a young man see so far?
Although Qin Zhong is a traitor, he is indeed, as Lu Ning said, a towering tree that supports his father.
The father wanted to uproot Qin Zhong, but he had to stand on another big tree.
It's just that the other big tree hasn't grown yet.
The father fell ill.
Therefore, it was not that the father did not eradicate Qin Zhong, but that the time was not right.
"From now on, you will stay with me." The eldest princess said with a trembling voice as her eyelashes trembled.
"Your Highness, let's not talk about this for now."
Lu Ning hurriedly changed the topic and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to obtain the secret edict and the posthumous edict. First, stabilize the overall situation. We can discuss the future matters."
we?
The eldest princess couldn't help but glare at Lu Ning, "Who is following you and us?"
Bai Xue, who was on the side, glanced at Lu Ning angrily and started to get into trouble, right?
"Sister Princess, Brother Lu is right. What we need to do now is to get the secret edict. Let's go now. I..."
Seeing that both the eldest princess and Bai Xue were glaring at him, Pei Tianbei couldn't help but change his words: "My subordinates are going to the Tianxing Tower now. They won't let you in, so they just rush in."
Lu Ning was speechless, this idiot got angry again.
Tianxing Tower, the supervisor of Qintian Prison, how can he be an ordinary person!
Definitely one of the best in the world.
Otherwise, how could we have the ability to observe the national destiny for the Zhou Dynasty?
This idiot can't even think about it.
Do you think you can win even if you are an old man?
The eldest princess glanced at Pei Tianbei, who was full of excitement, shook her head helplessly, and turned back to Yongle Palace.
The three of them quickly followed.
…
There was a luxurious carriage parked at the entrance of Yongle Palace.
Lu Ning could tell at a glance that it was the carriage belonging to Beimang Crown Prince Xue Jingnian.
Enter the palace courtyard.
I saw two figures standing on the stone steps in front of the main hall, headed by Xue Jingnian.
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xue Jingnian and his entourage hurriedly saluted the eldest princess.
"No gift!"
The eldest princess waved her hands and walked into the main hall.
Everyone followed and entered together.
After Xue Jingnian sat down, he first cared about the eldest princess, saying that he heard there was an assassin in the palace last night, and asked the eldest princess if she was frightened.
Then we started getting down to business.
"Your Highness, I left here yesterday and returned to my house. Before the sun went down, two groups of people came to see me."
Xue Jinnian looked at the eldest princess calmly and said.
The eldest princess sat upright and said nothing, her eyes signaling Xue Jinnian to continue.
"The first group of people are Qin Zhong's manager, and the second group of people are Kou Shize's generals."
"I refused!"
"By saying this, I express Zihan's determination and willingness to fully support Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xue Jinnian said sincerely.
The eldest princess pondered for a while before responding to him: "I will arrive at Tianxing Tower on time tonight."
Xue Jingnian nodded heavily and said: "Your Highness, try your best to hurry up, otherwise things may change if you are late."
The eldest princess's phoenix eyes twinkled and she nodded.
Lu Ning glanced at Xue Jingnian from the side, something changed later? It means that Prince Yongshan Zhou Xiao and Prince Anshan Zhou Yi will also go to Tianxing Tower tonight.
After hearing the news of His Majesty's death, the two of them will definitely fight for the secret edict.
Even if you can't win, you still have to try your best.
After all, no one knew what was written in the edict.
Who grabs the imperial edict?
Who can take the initiative?
Thinking about it, Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and asked, "I wonder how Prince Xue plans to help His Highness?"
Hearing this, the eldest princess and others looked at Lu Ning first, and then stared at Xue Jingnian.
Xue Jingnian smiled and said: "Tonight, outside the Jingzhou City, there are 30,000 iron pagodas from Beimang guarding the city. Except for the strong ones above the third level, it is difficult to stop them. As long as there is an army approaching, don't even think about entering the city."
"As for the city's defenders, garrisons, imperial guards, and guards, no matter whose orders they follow, they will feel guilty if there are 30,000 iron pagodas around. Therefore, many people will only show off."
"Only those who are die-hard loyal to King Yongsan and King Ansan will try their best to stop His Highness."
"Colonel Lu must see clearly who is standing in line tonight."
Lu Ning frowned and said nothing.
Because the Iron Buddha Temple cannot stop those who are above the third level, that is to say, without opening the city defense formation, there may be many experts above the third level in the city tonight.
Maybe the Golden Scale Young Master will show up.
He immediately looked at the eldest princess and said, "Your Highness, who is in charge of the city defense formation?"
The eldest princess said: "Demon Suppression Division."
Hearing this, Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Jinnian smiled and said: "Colonel Lu doesn't know yet, but the city defense formation was activated at midnight last night."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed.
The middle of the night should be after Gu Fengtang and others returned to the Demon Suppression Division.
The city defense formation is activated.
Then everyone has to enter and exit through the eight main entrances.
Since then, it has become much more difficult for masters of level three or above to enter the city.
Xue Jingnian did not stay in Yongle Palace for long. After confirming the attitude of the eldest princess, he left with his entourage.
After noon.
Lu Ning and Pei Tianbei sat leaning against the white lion in the palace courtyard, basking in the sun listlessly.
The winter months are approaching, and the sun at noon is not dazzling, so it is really comfortable to bask in it.
Pei Tianbei is really basking in the sun.
Lu Ning closed his eyes, reading "Haoran Jue" and "The Heart Sutra of the Other Side" in his mind.
He found that the Confucianism and Taoism in "Haoran Jue" were quite strong, and every word and deed could make a fourth-grade academician's mind collapse.
"The heaven and earth have righteousness, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds!"
"Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars!"
"The "Song of Righteousness" in the previous life is really awesome here...!"
Lu Ning was amazed in her heart. After reading it twice a day, her mood was completely different from before.
As for the "Heart Sutra" of the other shore, it is obscure and difficult to understand, and it is not as good as the "Heart Sutra" of the previous life.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has been walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time. He sees that all five aggregates are empty and can survive all hardships."
"Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, color, emptiness, emptiness..."
Lu Ning mentally recalled the "Heart Sutra" from his previous life, and at the same time watched the "Heart Sutra" and recited it silently in his heart.
However, he didn't even notice it himself.
Under the sun, his body exuded a faint golden light.
But when he doubted "color" and "emptiness" in his heart, the golden light suddenly dimmed.
"Hey! Brother Lu, your body will shine...!"
Pei Tianbei, who was squinting his eyes slightly, suddenly widened his eyes, sat up straight, and stared at Lu Ning blankly.
Lu Ning opened his right eye and looked at him: "Sitting in the sun, I am glowing all over, why are you making such a fuss...!"
"...It really shines!?"
As he spoke, he noticed wisps of golden light emanating from the skin of his palm.
It's very light, but clearly different from daylight.
