"You mean, Eunuch Gao knows that I am a fake eunuch?" Lu Qian felt more and more incredible.
Zhou Shuran shook his head and said, "Of course not. Eunuch Gao has been following Xia Jiuyuan since he was a child. It should be Concubine Li's trick. Why didn't you tell Concubine Li about your amnesia? She should know everything about you. If you ask her, she will know everything. Yet?"
Lu Qian slapped his forehead, nodded and said, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that? Yes, I will ask him after I go back this time."
Since this reason for amnesia could deceive Fang Daorong, it must also be able to deceive Concubine Li.
Seeing Lu Qian's look, Zhou Shuran said quietly, "You are very excited when it comes to Concubine Li. Do you miss her again?"
Looking at Zhou Shuran's jealous look.
Lu Qian hugged her into his arms.
She touched his forehead and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
"Concubine Li can do it, so can I..." Zhou Shuran seemed to think of the scene when he first met Lu Qian and Concubine Li, and said resentfully.
With that said, he pushed Lu Qian down.
...
The next day, Lu Qian was still asleep.
I was woken up by a rapid knock on the door and Xia Wenzhi's voice.
Lu Qian stood up suddenly and glanced next to him.
Fortunately, Zhou Shuran has left.
After opening the door, Xia Wenzhi said excitedly, "Mr. Lu, you are amazing! Li Xianzong has sent someone to express his willingness to continue negotiations."
Lu Qian smiled and said, "It seems that if everything goes well, we will go back tomorrow."
Xia Wenzhi smiled and nodded.
Lu Qian really missed her Xiao Min, Xi Fei, and Yu Li.
After what Fang Daorong and Zhou Shuran said, he became even more curious about the identity of the original owner.
In the afternoon, people from the Zhou Dynasty arrived as promised.
This time only Zhou Hongye and Li Xianzong came.
An agreement was reached.
They said that they would first withdraw their troops from the eight cities, and then let the Huo family army take over.
However, it must be written in the reconciliation document that eight cities were exchanged for Zhou Linyuan's return.
As for Zhou Linyuan, there is no need to let him come back. They also guarantee that they will not let the Great Zhou Kingdom launch an attack.
Lu Qian thought to himself, they have become prostitutes and still want to build a memorial arch.
However, naturally he agreed.
After the two parties signed the contract, Lu Qian said to Zhou Hongye in a very polite manner, "Then I wish the Crown Prince all the best."
Li Xianzong smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
...
After they left, Xia Wenzhi asked doubtfully, "Mr. Lu, I have something to puzzle over..."
"Are you wondering why they agreed to return the city to us without seeing Zhou Linyuan's body? Aren't they afraid that we will regret letting Zhou Linyuan back?" Lu Qian asked with a smile.
Xia Wenzhi nodded.
Lu Qian smiled and said, "This is the brilliance of that Li Xianzong! Do you think that we wanted to kill Zhou Linyuan to impress them? He actually didn't believe that we would kill Zhou Linyuan."
"What's that for?" Xia Wen said in confusion.
Fang Daorong opened his mouth and said
"If I guess correctly, Li Xianzong is trading eight cities for peace in the Great Zhou Dynasty! He is also giving the Great Xia court a civil strife. After all, if His Majesty makes His Highness the crown prince, the Huo family's army will definitely be dissatisfied, and there will be turmoil in the court. ..”
Lu Qian nodded approvingly, thinking that Fang Daorong was really a talent.
"That's right... and they will definitely set up ambushes at the border. As soon as Zhou Linyuan shows up, they will assassinate him. Therefore, when we were negotiating, we had already asked Zhou Linyuan to go back. Zhou Linyuan also promised us, It will show up in a month."
After Lu Qian finished speaking, he said to Fang Daorong, "We have to go back quickly now to avoid any complications! Lord Fang, I'll trouble you for the next thing."
"
Fang Daorong saw that Lu Qian and the others were anxious to go back and nodded to reassure them.
So they drove the carriage and left Tongguan overnight.
This time I went back and took the main road.
Not far from Tongguan, I also met Huo Jiajun...
Looking at the majestic momentum, he is indeed a master of kings.
On the way, Lu Qian also decided to talk to Xia Wenzhi about Zhou Shuran.
He didn't want Zhou Shuran to go back.
Just on the road, when I was thinking about what to say.
Xia Wenzhi smiled and said to Lu Qian, "Mr. Lu, I don't know how you want to settle Concubine Shu."
Lu Qian was confused by Xia Wenzhi's words.
"Concubine Shu was also neglected by her father in the palace. Why don't we ask Mr. Lu to find a place for her. By then, we will tell our father that she contracted the disease and passed away. He will be happy to return to the Eight Cities of Yanyun and will not care about her death. He married a concubine in the cold palace."
Xia Wenzhi's words shocked Lu Qian.
Xia Wenzhi actually saw through his own thoughts.
It seems that he still underestimated the eldest prince.
This Xia Wenzhi is not as simple as he sees!
When Xia Wenzhi said this, it was obviously a big gift to himself.
"His Highness orders, I will do it." Lu Qian also answered very cleverly.
Zhou Shuran bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your support."
Xia Wenzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, we are all our own people. You don't need to hide some things from me. We should be on the same page. In this way, we can cooperate with each other without any resentment, right?"
Lu Qian was a little frightened when he heard this.
What he said seemed to be to bring the relationship closer, but in fact it was to knock Lu Qian.
He bowed and said with a smile on his face, "Your Highness is talking about..."
At this moment, the driver stopped the car and said to the car
"Your Highness, Mr. Lu! A pair of men and horses are approaching from a distance. They seem to be a royal team! Should we avoid them?"
After listening to the coachman's words, Lu Qian looked over.
I saw a mighty cavalry in front. Judging from the flag, it should be the Huo Family Army, and the leader was Xia Xingbang!
"Logically speaking, does he have at least three days to arrive? How did he come so fast!" Lu Qian was shocked.
After looking around, I saw that this was a main road, with no side roads, so there was no way to avoid it!
