this!
Your Highness Xiao Sizi!
Li Junxian arrived late and saw Xiao Sizi lying on the stairs alone.
The boy's eyes widened!
Panic!
Your Highness Xiao Sizi, she has just been weaned!
How could he climb the ladder that is extremely difficult for adults to climb? If something went wrong, Li Junxian didn't dare to think how the Queen would punish him.
Throw down your saber and run quickly.
Li Junxian strode to the foot of the twelve-meter giant, and then said to the top: "Your Highness Xiao Sizi, come down quickly, it's too dangerous up there!"
"If you make a mistake, I will... I will be the one to blame! Don't move for now, I will pick you up right now!"
"
Little Sizi glanced down and said with a sweet voice: "Ah, Li Junxian, why did you come so quickly? Sizi hasn't climbed up yet. Oh~ Sizi doesn't want to go down..."
Halfway through the words, Li Junxian jumped down with her in his arms.
This is the power given to him by Empress Changsun. She said personally in front of Xiao Sizi that as long as Li Junxian thinks you are in danger, he can use his own actions to take action.
"Woooooo, Li Junxian! Sizi wants to go up to Ada's place! Please, the scenery over there at Ada must be very good!
"
Xiao Sizi was busy begging for mercy.
She really wanted to look down from a height of twelve meters.
"This... I will accompany you in the end."
"If His Highness Xiao Sizi does not agree, then he will have no choice but to go to the Queen."
Li Junxian also retreated.
After all, she is Her Majesty the Princess, and she is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty and the Queen. He will only try his best to accomplish everything she wants for the little Sizi.
"Ah, you must not go to the Queen Mother. Humph~ Many super simple things will change drastically if you go to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will definitely not allow Si Zi to go up there. You can't find it if you can't find it."
Xiao Sizi quickly shook his hands.
For her who loves to play, her mother can be said to be her natural enemy.
Sometimes even playing in the mud is not allowed.
Much more annoying than my father!
"Then... Your Highness Xiao Sizi, have you agreed to the general's proposal?!"
Li Junxian's eyes flickered and he asked tentatively.
"Yeah, I'm sorry to bother you! Take Sizi up to have a look."
Xiao Sizi nodded quickly.
"No trouble, no trouble. Working for His Highness Xiao Sizi is what I want."
Li Junxian laughed.
Her Royal Highness the little princess is quite polite. Apart from her playful and playful nature, she is really good in nature.
Li Junxian planned to carry Xiao Sizi on his back and wrap a white cloth around their bodies to climb.
This consumes a lot of physical energy, but he tried it yesterday and there was no problem for him.
As a general who can protect the Queen, he still has this ability.
Just when he was ready to climb.
As if sensing something, he turned around quickly with Xiao Sizi on his back, snorted: "Who! Who is there!
"
His gaze was like a sword.
He glanced at the pavilion in front of him very coldly.
However.
The pavilion was silent, without any movement, as if Li Junxian felt everything was wrong.
"Ah, Li Junxian, what's wrong?!"
Little Sizi had nothing to do and kept dangling his little feet.
"No...it's just that the general seemed to feel someone was nearby just now. I guess it was a mistake."
Li Junxian smiled and shook his head, not taking it seriously.
then.
Then he started to climb the stairs with Xiao Sizi on his back.
I hope….
It is my fault.
On the way, Li Junxian was worried.
……………………
Lu family, the main residence.
backyard.
today.
Something big happened.
Li Shimin got thousands of books! The imperial examination can definitely be re-established!
Shall not.
The top aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty, including the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, except the Taiyuan Wang family, gathered together again to discuss how to deal with it.
They were the only aristocratic families participating this time, which meant that the matter was extremely serious.
This matter is indeed serious.
Imperial examination!
It allows students from poor families to have the opportunity to enter the court.
Why can their family control most of the imperial court? !
It was because most of the officials in the imperial court came from aristocratic families that they dared to challenge Li Shimin and even tried to make Li Shimin a puppet.
Once a student from a poor family enters the court, the uniqueness of the family is gone.
actually.
The uniqueness is gone now.
The aristocratic family controlled the world's books, and the children of the family received a good education from a young age.
If ordinary people want to learn, they must either spend a lot of money to buy books, or join a famous family and become a disciple, thus being labeled by that family.
This is the uniqueness of the family and the capital of their arrogance.
Now.
Li Shimin sold books widely at half the price, and added punctuation marks to simplify the content of the books.
foreseeable.
In the near future, there will be several times more scholars in the Tang Dynasty!
"Damn, damn! How dare Erlang of the Li family sell books like this! He doesn't know how he came to power back then? If it weren't for our support, even ten of them together wouldn't be able to completely control the entire Tang Dynasty! Why? , now that you have secured your position, are you planning to kill the donkey!?"
"Hmph! White-eyed wolf, you can see how cold-blooded and ruthless this son is as early as when he launched the Xuanwu Sect Revolution and massacred all Li Yuan's direct descendants! It's too late to regret. If I had known what Li Shimin was like, I, the Li family of Zhao County , I chose to support Dalang Li Jiancheng of the Li family!
"
"Oh, it's too late now. The imperial examination is imminent and has to be fired. Let's think about how to remedy it."
"The remedy... I have thought about it for a long time, but there is no way. Now that the books in the hands of Erlang Li are equipped with punctuation marks, there is no chance that the books of our family cannot be sold."
“You bastard, why did he invent punctuation marks!
"
The heads of the families except Lu Yuntian of the Lu family were extremely angry.
Punctuation marks are crap.
What kind of immoral person came up with this? !
So terrible!
So subtle!
So magical!
Made the original books simple and easy to understand, and also brushed off all their books.
anger!
Bang the table!
Grit your teeth!
They wanted to arrest the author of punctuation marks and those who supplied books to Li Shimin, and execute them all.
"Everyone, please listen to me."
At this time, the head of the Li family in Longxi stood up.
In an instant.
Several family heads stopped talking and looked at the head of the Li family in Longxi.
He said: "As for the author and book supplier of this book, I, the Detective Fengwei of the Li family in Longxi, have already found out who he is."
"Come up here and tell me who it is."
The head of the Li family in Longxi gave up his position, and then a masked man walked up.
"He is the King of Chu, both of them are the King of Chu."
The masked man's voice was hoarse, as if he was disguising his original voice.
King of Chu!
!
After hearing this name, several family owners could no longer remain calm.
King of Chu, King of Chu, it’s this guy again!
It's been him lately.
It was unknown in the past, but recently it has become impossible for everyone to ignore.
"Sure enough, it's him again. Haha, Erlang of the Li family really gave birth to a good son."
The head of the Li family in Zhao County narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "He is not in Chang'an City, but there are legends about him everywhere in Chang'an City. I think it will be a surprise when King Chu himself comes back, right?"
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe snorted coldly and said angrily: "Now we all know that this matter was done by the King of Chu, but he is far outside Chang'an City, what should we do? Is it possible...?" Send people to sneak into his Prince Chu’s palace and burn the palace and books?!”
The head of the Li family in Zhao County narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The suggestion made by the Cui family is good, how about... we send troops to burn all the books in the Chu Prince's Mansion?!"
The head of the Boling Cui family shook his head and said: "This plan is not possible. Let alone the fact that the Prince of Chu's palace is located in the imperial palace, the military talent of Erlang of the Li family alone makes us want to use the military."
"Even if I have the surname Qiwang and am a talented general, I am still far inferior to Erlang of the Li family. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we must not send troops to burn the mansion."
Many family heads were silent.
When they supported Li Shimin's accession to the throne, a large part of them valued Li Shimin's military capabilities. Therefore, they all knew that when discussing military skills with Li Shimin, the generals under the major families were not even worthy of carrying his shoes!
Now that the place of books has been found, Li Shimin must have thought about it a long time ago. If his family mobilized troops to destroy the Chu Palace where the books were located.
estimate…….
There are already countless Li Shimin's soldiers in the Prince of Chu's Mansion, so just wait for them to fall into the trap, right? !
"Damn it! The method of sending troops to burn books is indeed not feasible, but King Chu can't find it at this time and cannot eliminate all the signs. If this doesn't work, that won't work. Can we just sit back and watch Li Shimin hold the imperial examination?!"
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe was extremely agitated.
The other family heads remained silent because they had no idea of a solution.
The head of the Li family in Longxi looked at Lu Yuntian of the Lu family with deep meaning and asked seriously: "I don't know... Deputy head Lu, what do you think?"
Since Lu Yuntian entered the house, he has always been smiling, squinting his eyes, sitting there with his hands hidden in his sleeves, not participating in any topics.
was asked at this time.
Even if the heads of several families looked at it together, they showed no sign of it.
really.
Wrong person to ask.
Several family owners lamented.
Letting the Lu family come is just a matter of routine.
They didn't expect Lu Yuntian to say anything useful.
Although...the Lu family does know a lot about King Chu, their entire family is no less mysterious than King Chu.
However.
Just when they were about to ignore Lu Yuntian and discuss it again, Lu Yuntian spoke.
"In this matter, the Lu family does have a way to break the situation."
Lu Yuntian said calmly.
Although it is an extremely simple sentence.
but!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Several heads of the family, including the head of the Li family in Longxi, looked at him with fiery eyes.
"Deputy Patriarch Lu, what are your opinions on the imperial examination?"
The head of the Li family in Longxi asked calmly.
But inside.
I have been extremely excited for a long time!
The imperial examination is a major matter, affecting the survival of the entire family. As long as there is a solution, even if there is a slight possibility of a solution, they will cling to it.
Lu Yuntian narrowed his eyes and smiled: "The Lu family has no way to solve the imperial examination."
The head of the Li family in Longxi was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Then... what did Deputy Patriarch Lu mean?"
Lu Yuntian talked eloquently and continued: "Everyone, to untie the bell, you still need someone to tie it."
"This time, I believe that the Li Family Master's Fengfeng Guards also discovered the books in the Chu Prince's Mansion. In fact, it was not Li Shimin who took the credit, but Li Mingda, the beloved sister of the King of Chu."
"Not only that, previous grains, including sweet potato seeds, were also discovered by Li Mingda."
"With the absence of King Chu, she has become the biggest owner of King Chu's palace. Maybe you will think that I, Lu Yuntian, or even the entire Lu family are crazy."
"But Lu still wants to say that in order to prevent matters like the imperial examination and food from being cracked by Li Shimin again in the future, we should assassinate Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang."
The words fell.
stunned!
Shock!
Eyes wide open!
Unbelievable!
Assassination... Assassination? !
Assassinate Li Shimin's beloved daughter?
And he’s still only a few years old!
crazy!
This is really crazy!
What kind of talent would associate these recent affairs related to the country with a child who has just been weaned?
Are they too stupid, or are the Lu family too crazy?
Have your own selfish motives?
So Li Mingda wants to use this imperial examination incident to gather the strength of all their families to deal with the trouble that the Lu family wants to deal with? !
"Deputy Patriarch Lu, you are... a bit biased."
"The things Li Shimin has solved recently are bigger and bigger than the last, and they are all related to thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty. How can they be related to Li Mingda's child? I cannot accept your explanation."
The head of the Bolingcui family couldn't help but speak and disagreed.
The head of the Li family in Zhao County also said: "Assassinating Li Shimin's beloved daughter Li Mingda will certainly make Li Shimin angry and relieve the anger of our family."
"But! Provoking an ambitious emperor is not a good thing for our family. If there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Li Mingda is the source of everything, I, the Li family of Zhao County, will not support it."
"Sorry, Deputy Patriarch Lu, I have to think about the children of the family."
Even the head of the Li family in Longxi, who had always believed that the Fan Yang Lu family was unfathomable and attached great importance to it, was opposed at this time.
"How can a weaned child affect the overall situation? Deputy Patriarch Lu, don't let us anger Li Shimin because of the selfish interests of the Lu family, or even your own selfish interests."
The other two family heads also objected.
None of their five masters supported Lu Yuntian's assassination plan.
Lu Yuntian smiled slightly, as if he was not surprised.
"What the heads of the family are saying makes sense, so Lu is just talking casually, so you don't need to pay attention."
This topic was taken away by Lu Yuntian.
Immediately afterwards.
After another half hour of discussion, all the family heads left the Lu family one after another.
The conclusion they finally discussed was that they had no choice but to let the family's children prepare for the exams as best they could to prepare for the imperial examinations in two months.
“Peng!
"
Not long after they left, two men in black jumped down from the wall.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry."
"I made you lose face."
One of the men in black, Zhu Lian, knelt down and apologized.
They have been planning to assassinate Li Mingda.
At noon, Zhu Lian thought to himself that Li Mingda never went out of the palace. There were countless guards in the palace, so the success rate of the assassination was greatly reduced. But if there were major aristocratic families inside the palace to help, then... the success rate would be great. promote.
so.
For the sake of success rate and for the sake of minimizing losses for his partners, he specially consulted Lu Yuntian and asked Lu Yuntian to try to ask the family to help.
all of these.
It's all just a request from him.
Lu Yuntian did it, but the attitude of those aristocratic families was disappointing!
"It doesn't matter. Although I already knew their answers, you didn't. Now that you have seen and heard them with your own eyes, it saves me a lot of explanation."
Lu Yuntian still had his eyes narrowed.
"Hmph! How can these cowardly families be so cowardly as to assassinate a Li Mingda? They also said they wanted to make Li Shimin a puppet. They don't even have the courage to defeat Li Shimin!
"
Another man in black had a hot temper and started spraying on the spot.
"Hongyun, shut up!
"
Zhu Lian spoke to stop him.
The voice was full of majesty and suppressed a little anger.
Don’t be angry and be proud.
"Here, I'm telling the truth, boss, I...forget it, I won't say it anymore. Isn't it okay if I don't say it anymore?"
Zhu Hongyun, the man in black, saw Zhu Lian's death gaze and waved his hands, feeling very helpless.
Zhu Lian hurriedly withdrew his gaze, looked at Lu Yuntian, and said apologetically: "Mr. Lu, I am not strict in disciplining my subordinates."
Lu Yuntian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, let's prepare for tonight."
"I got news tonight that Li Mingda is going to the Lizheng Palace to find Queen Changsun for dinner. On the way, he will pass by Hanyang Gate. The people stationed there have been bribed. You have two quarters of time."
"When the two quarters of time are up, no matter what the result is, you must retreat. If not, only hell is waiting for you."
Zhu Lian nodded: "Zhu has taken note of it and will go down to make arrangements."
He stood up and left with the man in black named Zhu Hongyun.
But after taking a few steps, a voice came from behind again.
"Remember, you are killers in the world, not from my Lu family, nor from the aristocratic family."
These words are full of profound meaning.
Zhu Lian's eyes flashed and he said without looking back: "Zhu made a note that tonight the Fan Yang Lu family and I, Zhu Lian, will have nothing to do with each other."
Finished.
Back away slowly.
Lu Yuntian narrowed his eyes and stared at the two people leaving. He kept watching until the two people walked out for a long time. It seemed that he was not looking at Zhu Lian and the two, but thinking about something.
……………………
The main residence of the Lu family.
East courtyard.
today.
Just as the sun was setting, everyone in the east courtyard was dismissed.
This is a rare thing in the Lu family.
Because there are many direct descendants of the Lu family living in the east courtyard of the Lu family, and they need the service of servants like them, and today not only were they dismissed, but all the direct descendants of the Lu family were also dismissed.
"It's strange. Why did Deputy Patriarch Lu let us leave today? Master, don't they need to serve anymore?!"
"Didn't you hear what Deputy Patriarch Lu said? The east courtyard needs to be repaired today. Speaking of which, the East Courtyard has indeed not been repaired for some years. Many houses are leaking. Deputy Patriarch Lu has hired many workers. After we leave, we will repair all those places. one time."
"I see, but...there's no need to let the young masters leave, right?!"
"Hi~ Deputy Patriarch Lu, maybe he is afraid that the sound of workers working will disturb the young master and the others."
Many servants left the east courtyard one after another talking about it.
Go to other courtyards of Lu Mansion to stay temporarily for one day.
After that, many children of the Lu family packed up a lot of things and left. Like the servants, they all needed to stay in other courtyards for a day.
After the people in the east courtyard were empty.
One by one, the men in black came from various corners to a pavilion in the east courtyard, all looking at the leader of the men in black, Zhu Lian.
Tonight they have a goal, to assassinate Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang!
!
"Tell me three things."
"First, we will start the operation tonight at Hai hour [21-23 o'clock]. We only have two quarters of time. The Lu family's secret chess will help us during the operation."
"Secondly, all the aristocratic families of the Fifth Surname and Qiwang did not agree with our assassination plan. We only have Mr. Lu and the Lu family to assist us."
"Thirdly, all actions tonight have nothing to do with the Lu family! We are assassins in the Jianghu. We were tempted by the bounty on the black market in Yangzhou and came to assassinate Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang to deliver the mission."
The words fell.
There were people in black with flashing eyes, as if they were dissatisfied with these three things, but they didn't say much.
They are all assassins.
Assassins, on the other hand, only need to obey orders.
Promises one by one.
Then they scattered around, each preparing his own weapons and hidden weapons.
They are assassins, and the only one they can trust is themselves, so they don't want other assassins to know about their hidden weapons.
The entire east courtyard is currently vacated, and workers will come to repair it in an hour.
so.
All assassins have one hour to prepare. After one hour, the entire assassination team will set off to the imperial city to carry out their mission.
Most of the killers left.
But there is one person left here.
Zhu Lian glanced at this person and said angrily: "What? Hongyun, why don't you leave and get ready?"
Zhu Hongyun smiled and said: "Boss, it's only an hour. There is a lot of time. I won't accompany you here. After all, tonight is the assassination of the princess of the dynasty. It is dangerous so far. Whether you can come back or not is another matter. Of course, I have to come here. Use your hard-earned free time to do more of the things you want to do.”
"And boss, I just want to follow you, hahaha."
Zhu Lian rolled his eyes and said, "You have so many things going on. Sometimes I really wonder whether it is right to lead you into the path of being a killer."
Say it.
He didn't bother to care about Zhu Hongyun and just walked towards the inner room.
He rescued Zhu Hongyun ten years ago. The two depended on each other for life. He trusted him very much and became sworn brothers, so there was no doubt that his back would be handed over to Zhu Hongyun.
"Hey, boss, wait for me."
Zhu Hongyun quickly trotted to keep up.
There was a creak in front of him, and Zhu Lian opened the door, revealing the scene inside the room.
This is an ancestral hall.
Generally, ancestral halls offer various gods and Buddhas, but here the ancestral hall worships a graceful knight.
Zhu Lian took the incense and lit it, then knelt before the statue of the knight.
"Jing Ke, I wish Zhu Lian a successful assassination tonight."
"If it succeeds, I, Zhu Lian, will be as famous as you in the history books!
"
"In future generations, I, Zhu Lian, can also bear the incense and worship of others!
"
After Zhu Lian bowed, his eyes flashed with endless fire.
Although Zhu Hongyun next to him was also burning incense and kneeling before him, his expression seemed to be more of a coping one.
The two dropped the incense into the incense burner and then left the room.
"Boss, this matter... I think it's better to forget about it, right? Assassinating a princess is the most favored princess of the ruthless emperor..."
"Presumably that ruthless emperor must have endless emotions for this Princess Jinyang."
"When the time comes, even if we succeed, I'm afraid we will only encounter endless pursuits from all over the world."
"For a false reputation, I have to spend the lower half of my body in fear. Is it really worth it?!"
Zhu Hongyun sighed secretly, feeling quite melancholy.
perhaps.
That's why he stayed.
Persuaded his boss not to continue to assassinate Li Mingda.
Zhu Lian glanced at him and said, neither sad nor happy: "Except for those who have a noble birth, most people whose names can be remembered for centuries have extraordinary life experiences."
"I, Zhu Lian, come from a farming family, and both my parents died when I was young. If I want to leave a name in history, this is the only way."
"If you don't dare, then just stay and find a time to leave the city tomorrow. No... maybe the whole city will be under martial law tomorrow, and you can leave the city later."
Zhu Hongyun smiled and said: "No, I'm not leaving! I'm just talking casually."
Zhu Lian nodded and said: "That's good. The assassination of Li Mingda was, firstly, for fame. Secondly, I, Zhu Lian, owe Mr. Lu a great favor. I have traveled around the world for several years, and I, Zhu Lian, have never owed him any debt." People's kindness should be repaid."
When Zhu Hongyun heard this, he snorted coldly and said: "Humph! Boss, it's okay if you don't say this. If you say this, I'll be angry."
"Well, Lu Yuntian, since Fei Ge sent a letter to summon us to Chang'an City half a month ago, he has never given us a clear identity, so that we can only live like mice, not related to his Lu family."
"Every time you checked for information and reported it to him, it was always in a deserted place, either in a secret passage or a teahouse. No third person ever heard the conversation between the two of you. To be honest, Lu Yuntian really regarded us as his own. Do people take it seriously?!”
Zhu Lian's expression changed, and he said coldly: "Hongyun, don't talk nonsense! I will leave after repaying my kindness to my benefactor, and there is no need to judge what my benefactor did!"
"
"You and I, brothers, owe Mr. Lu two lives. If it hadn't been for Mr. Lu, we would have died in the Yangzhou assassination mission. After assassinating Li Mingda this time, plus half a month of sending information to each other, these two lives will The kindness can be considered completely repaid.”
Zhu Hongyun waved his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, boss, I understand."
"Well, it's still early, so please warm up with me to prevent your kung fu from getting rusty."
Zhu Lian took out a very light long face from the weapon rack.
As he unsheathed his sword, the sound of the sword resounded in his ears, extremely clear.
"Young~Zhu Lian, who ranks first in the Yangzhou assassination rankings, is going to practice, I'm really looking forward to it!
"
Zhu Hongyun walked back with a playful smile.
There were several pigeon cages containing pigeons.
Turn it on.
The hungry pigeons instantly flew into the sky and scattered in all directions.
“Swish swish!
"
Just hearing a series of slight sounds, it was Zhu Lian who threw out the hidden weapon with his right hand.
In an instant.
Five pigeons flying into the sky fell to the ground at the same time, bleeding.
On their necks, there is an extremely delicate silver needle.
Without exception.
They all died from puncture into blood vessels.
then.
Zhu Hongyun threw out another piece of cloth.
Zhu Lian's eyes flashed and he waved his long sword forward.
Although he is holding a thin sword.
But the moves are open and closed, full of boldness.
The moment the cloth hit the ground, the cloth had been cut into several complete sword marks.
Densely packed and full of rules.
But it is still a piece of cloth. As long as you hold the cloth in your hand, you can pick up the whole piece, but you can see dense sword marks.
From this we can see how terrifying this man’s swordsmanship is!
"Boss, this... you are such a perfect sword!
"
Zhu Hongyun was overjoyed.
I am very happy for my boss.
The assassination tonight.
There is his own boss and many famous killers from Yangzhou City.
In addition, Li Mingda has a hidden weapon from the Lu family that can be used. When the time comes, people will rise up and kill them.
The inside should be in harmony with the outside.
Why can't this assassination be successful? !
This will definitely be the 125th successful assassination mission between him and his boss!
Zhu Lian also looked much better. After all, he was assassinating a princess, and he was also under great pressure.
"Yeah, I hope I won't fall off because of being too nervous."
Zhu Lian breathed out.
"No! The conditions for this assassination, with the help of other assassins and the Lu family's internal support, are much better than our previous ones. We can definitely succeed!
"
"After finishing this vote, we will return to Yangzhou City and stay away from the place of right and wrong! Return to a place we are familiar with and start our escape career!
"
Zhu Hongyun smiled broadly.
He bent down to pick up the cloth and prepared to clean up the area.
"Well, I hope so."
Zhu Lian responded absently.
"Hey, boss, how come you..."
Peng!
Halfway through his words, Zhu Hongyun was knocked unconscious by a hand knife.
Zhu Lian hugged the shaky Zhu Hongyun and said with a complex expression: "I'm sorry, Hongyun."
"This assassination mission is for the princess, the daughter of the emperor who gathered all the soldiers in the world. I can't let you risk it."
"After all, he is a member of the imperial family. Even if we are 90% sure, it won't work."
"Just have a good sleep. Mr. Lu will arrange for you to go out of the city tomorrow."
Zhu Lian sighed and walked with him in his arms.
Open the courtyard gate here.
Opposite the door, Lu Yuntian and several family guards behind him stood there impressively.
"Are you sure? Don't you want your brother to help you?"
Lu Yuntian couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Lian nodded and said, "When I rescued him more than ten years ago, he was still a child. I just took him in because I felt soft-hearted."
"After that, although Hongyun was very nonsense, it also gave me the desire to kill for the rest of my life. I had a sense of belonging and knew what family ties are."
"The killer showed true feelings because of taboos. I prepared to kill him several times while he was sleeping late at night, but! I finally stopped."
"I learned from this that humans can never be lone wolves, they are always social creatures~"
Zhu Lian was extremely emotional, and then said seriously: "From then on, I began to face my inner feelings and taught Hongyun various martial arts, just to let him defend himself."
"But I didn't expect that he also wanted to be a killer. I couldn't defeat him, so I had to do this."
"In the past assassination career, the targets were all under my control, so I could let Hongyun participate, but tonight... the opponent is a member of the imperial family. Even if she is a child, she is a real imperial family."
"Mr. Lu, I am not sure."
"So, please take care of my brother Zhu Hongyun and wait for tomorrow to arrange for him to leave the city."
Lu Yuntian's eyes flickered and he said, "I understand."
He signaled to the guards with his eyes. In an instant, the guards understood and took Zhu Hongyun from Zhu Lian's hands.
Then, take him away.
"etc."
Zhu Lian stopped the people who were about to leave, thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Lu, if I don't come back after my brother wakes up, please tell him not to be an assassin again."
"There is a tofu shop in Hangzhou. I prepared it for him. Just say "tofu shop" and he will naturally know what it means."
"Mr. Lu, I leave everything to you!
"
The words fell.
Lu Yuntian nodded again, indicating that he already knew.
Wait until they leave.
Zhu Lian felt unhappy for a long time.
He didn't know if he was worried or relaxed.
I only know that my mood is extremely complicated.
that's all.
An hour passed and all the assassins gathered. With a complicated heart, he led the assassins to sneak into the imperial city.
Not long after they left, groups of workers entered the east courtyard of the Lu family to work on repairs, and the entire Lu family returned to normal.
……………………
Suzaku Street.
Wangfeng Restaurant.
There are not many diners in restaurants today, mainly because there is Chuhe Restaurant on Zhuque Street, and their hotpot takes away a lot of business.
Of course, Wangfeng Restaurant does not rely on the natural flow of diners to make money.
They have their own unique way of making money.
At this moment.
Inside Wangfeng Restaurant, Room No. 1 is Tianzi.
A maid came into the room carrying water.
With a "creak", the door closed.
A crisp sound also came in an instant.
"Miss, everyone is out."
"On the Lu family's side, the assassins have all come out, led by the famous embroidered sword Zhu Lian from Yangzhou City."
The maid raised her head with a smiley mask on her face.
"Oh? Zhu Lian, the embroidered sword, has been invited by the Lu family. It's really not easy. Hehe, it seems that assassinating Xiao Sizi is a sure shot."
Behind the screen, there was a woman playing chess with a smile on her face.
