The atmosphere inside Qinzheng Palace was already tense, but things were not much better at the entrance of the palace.

Zhao Zhao, Deng Xin and Cheng Liang drove a carriage all the way through the snow. They deliberately put on the military uniforms of the Liang Family Army so that they could enter the palace smoothly.

But Fang Lu was currently squatting in the dark and waiting. As long as a suspicious carriage approached, they would step forward and pretend to be a royal guard to check it out.

When the carriage of Zhao Zhao and others entered their sight, a subordinate behind Fang Lu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Steward Fang! Those two people!"

Deng Xin, Cheng Liang and others had been seen by the guards of the Lu family, but they didn't know it yet. At this time, they followed Zhao Zhao to escort the body into the palace, but they happened to fall into the enemy's circle.

In order not to let the imperial guards at the palace gate see him, Fang Lu planned to take action when they were about to cross the White Jade Bridge.

Liang Ji and Qin Yuandao came with Yin Renzhao through the snow with documents in their arms, but the lively New Year's Eve feast in the city began, and the crowds crowded together, disrupting their progress.

"What should we do now?" Yin Renzhao reined in his horse and stopped in front of the crowd in Fangshi. Looking at the bustling crowd, he couldn't help but ask.

However, Liang Ji and Qin Yuandao also frowned at the bustling lantern market.

Today is the New Year's Eve feast, and people naturally come out in large numbers to enjoy flowers and lanterns, and they also gather together to watch the grand fireworks set off in the palace.

For a moment, the capital city looked back at the piles of embroidery. They had no way to move forward on their horses.

"Why don't we go through the road from the military camp? There is no market there, so I think it will save time." Liang Ji looked at Qin Yuandao and asked tentatively.

Since this afternoon, Liang Ji has looked at Qin Yuandao's behavior and style, which completely overturned Liang Ji's previous views on Qin Yuandao, and has habitually and subconsciously asked Qin Yuandao's opinion.

Qin Yuandao sat on the horse, frowning at the crowd, closing his eyes and thinking for a while, a floor plan of Shangjing City suddenly appeared in his mind.

Then he shook his head and said, "No, let's dismount and walk over."

Liang Ji had some doubts. When he was about to ask him, Qin Yuandao looked at him and explained: "It's closer to everything by walking directly from here than riding a long way around. Besides, there are many families living there. It's the right time at this time."

When they come to participate in the lantern market, it seems that it would be more appropriate to walk through here."

Liang Ji thought about this, nodded, and then got off the horse together. Yin Renzhao saw the two of them dismounting. Although he didn't know why he did this, the market was too busy just now, and Yin Renzhao didn't hear anything clearly, but he was willing to follow.

They move forward.

"Let's go, hurry up!" Although Yin Renzhao vowed to follow them into the palace to expose Lu Gaohong, the closer he got to the palace, the more worried Liang Ji became, and then he pulled Yin Renzhao into the bustling market.

, for fear that he would cause trouble for them here.

It was extremely lively in Beijing today, probably because I heard that the Chinese army would attack the Great Liang later in the year, so I celebrated the joy of victory in advance.

Qin Yuandao walked between rouge and gouache with a solemn expression. At the New Year's Eve Lantern Festival in Beijing today, most of the girls came out to join in the fun. For this kind of festival, it is natural to wear heavy makeup and dress up.

When many people saw Liang Ji, they would whisper to each other in low voices. For a while, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless.

But the two of them stuck to their hearts, pushed through the crowd, and rushed to the palace.

Zhao Zhao drove the carriage and stared at the palace gate as he ran wildly. He was thinking that it was already getting late, and he was afraid that the Qinzheng Palace in the palace had undergone earth-shaking changes. He also didn't know how Princess Jing and the others were doing at this time, and whether General Liang Ji had found Lu Gaohong.

Evidence of bending the law for personal gain. Although I was driving the carriage with my hands, I was still worried about other things in my heart.

The three people looked around while staring at the palace gate in front of them, unaware that they had fallen into the trap of Fang Lu and others.

"How long?" Deng Xin looked behind the carriage and felt that the road ahead was long, so he asked.

"Almost!" Cheng Liang helped Zhao Zhao stabilize the carriage and took the time to reply to Deng Xin.

"Can we go in later?" Deng Xin had some doubts. He couldn't get in just like this. How could he get into the palace with an inexplicable corpse?

Zhao Zhao couldn't answer them for a while. To be honest, he didn't know what to say. He just listened to the wind and snow whistling by his ears and stared straight ahead.

"General Zhao said it is possible, it must be possible!" Cheng Liang glanced at Zhao Zhao, and he could clearly feel that Zhao Zhao was not sure, but he still said this, not sure if he was talking to Deng Xin or to

Listen to yourself.

The carriage bumped along the way, and Deng Xin simply stopped asking and just took care of the body.

Fang Lu hid in the dark, watching Zhao Zhao and others enter his encirclement. Then he gave an order, and a dozen men in black flew down from both sides of the roof, holding steel knives, and wrapped up the carriage of Zhao Zhao and others.

.

Zhao Zhao quickly stopped the carriage and looked at the group of men in black with a solemn expression. Deng Xin and Cheng Liang did not react for a while and quickly stuck their heads out to look at them.

Seeing that they were surrounded, Fang Lu wrapped a piece of black cloth around himself and jumped out. He walked up to Zhao Zhao triumphantly and said, "You dare to even snatch our things. It's really boring!"

Judging from Fang Lu's attitude, the Prime Minister's Mansion has done a lot of burning, killing and looting.

Zhao Zhao could naturally recognize who they were. Now that he was surrounded, he would not give in. He immediately jumped off the carriage, clapped his hands and said to Fang Lu: "What's the point of covering your face now? You tell me and I admit it."

Can't you tell who you are? The corpse in the carriage was the one I just brought from the Prime Minister's Mansion! I never expected that the normally aloof Prime Minister Lu's Mansion would actually raise a group of sanctimonious hypocrites! What? Now you want to kill people and silence them?

, are you afraid that we will tell you?"

Deng Xin and Cheng Liang also jumped off the carriage and stood by the carriage. The body they had finally snatched was about to be taken to the palace, and there was no way they could snatch it away.

Fang Lu smiled coldly: "I'm afraid you are destined to know, but not to tell anyone!"

After saying that, Fang Lu waved his hand, and the men in black surrounding them on both sides rushed towards them with their swords raised and shouting.

"How outrageous! This is the entrance to the palace! How dare you openly cause trouble!" Zhao Zhao was unwilling to waste time, but was also surprised at why they were so confident.

"Even if this is the palace! I have to kill you today!" Fang Lu said unscrupulously, "Let me cut these three people into pieces!"

Before when he was transporting the body, he was somewhat afraid of being discovered by others, but now that he has been discovered, Fang Lubian is now more confident. Lu Gaohong is in the court on weekdays, calling the shots. After Prince Jing and Liang Fengmian went on an expedition, Lu Gaohong was left alone.

After all, Fang Lu was not afraid of causing any trouble at all. In short, Lu Gaohong would take care of it in the end.

Those dozen men in black raised their swords and slashed at them. Judging from their posture, they were all top masters in Beijing. Prime Minister Lu's mansion was extravagant and careless about life. It spent a lot of money to hire these people to look after the home and care for the home.

Deng Xin and Cheng Liang had no weapons in their hands and were so shocked that they didn't know what to do. However, they never expected that Fang Lu would be so arrogant.

Then Zhao Zhao sneered and told Deng Xin and Cheng Liang: "Protect the body and don't let them destroy it or steal it!"

Fang Lu dares to do this now. If they don't save it, they will destroy the body directly so that no one can recognize it.

Then a dark shadow flashed in front of their eyes... They felt a strong wind blowing all around, and all the fallen leaves and stones on the ground flew into the air. A black shadow surrounded them. Deng Xin and Cheng Liang instinctively closed their eyes, but their bodies remained tight.

Leaning next to the carriage, the three of them went out lightly dressed and without any weapons.

I heard a burst of screams from the men in black surrounding me, which was extremely shrill, and then there was a chaotic sound of falling to the ground.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw swords scattered on the ground, and a dozen men in black lying on their backs - each with injuries on his body, curled up on the ground unable to get up, leaving Fang Lu and the two men in black behind him.

They were all so shocked that they all backed away, not daring to step forward...

It turned out that Zhao Zhao had been prepared and hid dozens of silver needles in his sleeves before leaving. Seeing that they were unarmed, Fang Lu and others naturally felt that they had something to capture, but they never thought that Zhao Zhao would insert the silver needle in the next second.

Their important acupuncture points are now unable to move when they are lying on the ground, and they are screaming blindly.

Before Deng Xin and Cheng Liang were touched by the men in black, they only knew that in the blink of an eye, Zhao Zhao had already killed half of them. He didn't know what happened just now, but the Zhao Zhao in front of him was still the same as before.

He stood in a standing posture, his hair rising and falling in the cool mountain breeze. A layer of cold air enveloped his whole body at some point, making people shiver unconsciously.

Only then did Deng Xin and Cheng Liang realize that in Liang Fengmian's secret camp, Zhao Zhao was learning concealed weapons. However, after entering the military camp, he was used to wielding knives and guns, so no one mentioned the concealed weapons anymore.

Come on, Zhao Zhao is indeed a master of concealed weapons.

Fang Lu and the two guards behind him trembled, looking at their companions who were making noises and shouting all over the ground, they pointed at Zhao Zhao tremblingly and said: "You...you are so brave! Wait until I go back and tell the Prime Minister! You will live."

But it’s tomorrow!”

Zhao Zhao smiled coldly, now that he has reached this point, he still has time to pretend to be powerful.

When Fang Lu saw Zhao Zhao's cold smile, he couldn't help feeling a cold air penetrated his spine from behind. Zhao Zhao slowly walked towards Fang Lu step by step. Fang Lu couldn't help shouting: "This is the entrance to the palace! What do you want to do?

!”

"What are you doing?" Zhao Zhao asked, "Why didn't you think that this was the entrance to the palace just now?!"

It was the first time that Zhao Zhao was forced into this situation. He was now on a killing spree and would never let Fang Lu go.
