After Liu Quan had a conversation with Concubine Liu, he left the palace.
As soon as he left, Queen Mother He sent someone behind to invite Concubine Liu to her palace.
The sequence of events made it clear to Lu Feng that a war was about to break out with the return of General Yunqi.
"I have met the Queen Mother."
"Sit down." Empress Dowager He pointed to the empty seat, "The Aijia knew that General Yunqi had just come out from your place, and the matter had developed to this point, so the Aijia opened the skylight and spoke openly. You and General Yunqi helped me. , after the matter is completed, the Ai family will not only guarantee your status and power and promote General Yunqi, but also allow you to enjoy endless glory and wealth."
"The Ai family knows that you initially wanted to help the third prince seize the throne, but it's different now. You help the Ai family, and the Ai family will meet your request."
Seeing this, Concubine Liu also confessed to Queen Mother He, "I wonder how sure the Queen Mother is of victory?"
"As long as General Yunqi joins us, we are sure of success."
"The Queen Mother, don't forget Marquis Zhenyuan." Liu Guifei said.
"Marquis Zhenyuan? Although he was called to the capital by the Ai family, he didn't lead any troops, so there's nothing to fear."
"Does the Queen Mother know that he has joined forces with the Queen?" This is what Lu Feng told Concubine Liu in advance.
"Oh?" Queen Mother He was slightly surprised when she heard the news.
It seems that even a shrewd person like Queen Mother He has missed some information.
"Although I don't know what Marquis Zhenyuan said to the Queen, since he will cooperate with the Queen, it means that he has certain ability to pose a threat in the capital and in front of the Queen Mother."
Concubine Liu Guifei talked eloquently,
"The prime minister and the officials behind him are all forces that cannot be underestimated."
"snort!"
I saw Queen Mother He standing up, flicking her long sleeves, and said with dignity, "The Ai family is really not afraid. The Ai family has been planning for so long, and they have already thought of this aspect."
Concubine Liu smiled sweetly, "Since the Queen Mother is so far-sighted, I will take this gamble. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I and my brother will definitely help the Queen Mother."
"Okay, with your words, the overall situation has been decided."
After discussing some more details, Concubine Liu took Lu Feng out of Queen Mother He's palace.
"I'll ask the Shadow Guards to keep an eye on Marquis Zhenyuan and the Prime Minister, and report back if there is any movement." Lu Feng said thoughtfully.
"Okay. I would like to see what tricks the Queen can come up with."
The matter of contacting the shadow guards was naturally handled by Lu Feng when he left the palace.
Sitting in a carriage, the coachman drove the carriage to the Shadow Guard's office.
Lu Feng closed his eyes and rested in the carriage. The first half of the journey was fine, but an ominous premonition suddenly arose in Lu Feng's heart.
"Wait a minute, why is it so quiet outside?"
Sensing something was wrong, Lu Feng immediately opened the curtain and looked outside through the car window. I saw the carriage traveling on a deserted path, which was very remote.
"Stop, where are you going?"
Lu Feng shouted to the coachman, but the coachman was like a deaf man and drove the car regardless.
Lu Feng didn't give him a chance, and stretched out his right hand, trying to grab the coachman's shoulder.
Whoosh!
Several cracking sounds were heard, and three crossbow arrows were nailed to the shaft of the cart. If Lu Feng hadn't retracted his right hand, three crossbow arrows would have been shot in his arm.
He still doesn't know that this is a trap.
The sound of breaking through the air started again, aiming directly at the carriage where Lu Feng was riding.
This time there were not three crossbow arrows, but a dozen.
Lu Feng made a quick decision, kicked off his feet, and immediately jumped out of the carriage. Using the coachman's shoulders as a point of support, his two feet leaped into the air and landed gracefully on the ground.
"Huh-" The coachman saw Lu Feng escaping from the carriage and quickly pulled the reins to stop the horse.
He reached for the car and pulled out a gleaming scimitar.
Not only him, but a dozen masked men in black suddenly appeared on the deserted trail.
All of them were holding crossbows and wearing scimitars at their waists.
Although Lu Feng didn't know their identities, he recognized the crossbows in their hands. This is a crossbow that is only available in the military and is impossible to obtain outside.
"Hmph! What a big move. Who instigated you?"
They raised their crossbows and fired in unison as if they were dumb. Lu Feng took a breath and relied on his body skills to fly over the walls and quickly dodge the deadly crossbow arrows.
Then, with quick eyes and quick hands, he grabbed a crossbow arrow that flew in front of him. With a burst of internal energy and a flick of his wrist, the crossbow arrow instantly pierced the forehead of the nearest man in black, killing him on the spot.
After this round of volleys, the coachman and the men in black started sprinting, and surrounded Lu Feng in a small formation trained in the army.
The scimitar in his hand was like a razor, trying to cut Lu Feng into a skeleton.
But how could Lu Feng be such an easy person to deal with? His Yin Yang Qian Kun Kung was working, his eyes were sharp, he pinched a scimitar with two fingers, and then broke it with a little force.
Then, taking advantage of the gap, he leaned over and dodged the chops of other men in black.
He kicked straight with his right foot, smashing the knee of a man in black and causing him to kneel to the ground.
The Eagle Claw Technique used its strength and scratched out five bloody holes in his Tianling Cap.
There was a flaw in the enemy's formation, and Lu Feng stepped out as slippery as a loach. Without giving these men in black a chance to react, they walked up to the coachman and punched him until he vomited blood and died.
"Hmph! You dare to ambush me even with this little strength. You are so impatient."
After a few more attacks, Lu Feng eliminated six people in a row.
When the other men in black saw this, they knew that the matter could not be completed, so they turned and retreated.
"Run? You asked me if I did."
Under the operation of Yin Yang Qian Kun Gong, Lu Feng's speed was like a ghost, and he wiped out this group of people in just a few breaths.
His current strength has reached the peak of the Little Grandmaster. As long as he takes one more step, he can become the Great Grandmaster.
Of course, Lu Feng was still alive and could only breathe on the ground.
"Let me ask you, who sent you here?"
This man was very tough-talking and didn't answer any questions.
"Forget it, even if you don't tell me I probably know who did it."
Lu Feng said, directly ending his life.
Who does he offend now? Quite simply, it's the Queen. It was easy for the Queen to use people from the army, but the scimitar weapons of these men in black were not the standard weapons of the soldiers in the capital, but looked like they were from somewhere else.
"I understand, the queen is asking Zhenyuan Hou to kill me, and only Zhenyuan Hou's men will wear scimitars."
"Okay, very good."
Lu Feng sneered a few times, quickly left the place and walked towards the Shadow Guard.
After telling Wang Yi what happened, he returned to the palace.
"Are you okay?" Wen'er's frightened voice came from behind.
"How did you come?"
"I heard Yuan'er say that you were leaving the palace, and I was almost scared to death. Not long ago, I heard that the Queen had leaked the news and wanted to send someone to kill you to satisfy her hatred for having ruined her plan."
"Sure enough." Lu Feng sneered even more, "I was indeed intercepted and killed outside the palace just now, but those people were no match for me and were solved by me."
"Phew! That's good. Be careful next time you leave the palace."
"Next time? There won't be a next time."
Lu Feng said to Wen'er: "Wen'er, please do me a favor tonight."
"you say."
