There is a small village called Wangyi Village about ten miles south of Luoyang City, with about a hundred households.

There is a family at the easternmost end of the village, covering an area of ​​about two acres, with blue brick houses and courtyard walls, and the conditions look pretty good.

During the second update, dozens of Li Cui's subordinates surrounded the house from east, west and south.

Li Xiu was just a hundred steps away. He could see clearly and whispered to Pei Min: "There should be an ambush in the north, and walk from the east!"

Pei Min nodded, stood up and disappeared into the darkness.

Li Xiu winked at Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu again. The two of them drank a few sips of wine to enhance their courage, and carried the wine bottle and went to the house drunk.

"That turtle slave in Yuchunlou is a bastard. I have money, why can't I sleep at the top?"

"Brother, you have money but no status, and it's useless! Just like we can't get into the Jiaofang, and of course we can't sleep with the top cards."

The two of them were just two scoundrels, walking towards the house cursing.

Li Cui was ambushing around him and was surprised, but he did not alarm them. Perhaps he wanted the two to explore the truth and reality.

"Open the door!"

Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu kicked the door and cursed, "Get back my money quickly, otherwise you will destroy your whole family."

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the east wall, and ran towards the east at a very fast speed.

Li Cui shouted, "Run east, chase after you!"

Dozens of black shadows jumped up one after another and chased the running black shadows...

After everyone left, Li Xiu brought Xiaomei to the house. Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu had already climbed over the wall and opened the yard gate.

"Who are you?" the door opened and a man asked sternly.

Li Xiu clasped his fists and said, "I am the 38th son of the emperor. I come to find the princess at the order of the emperor. I will find Cheng Zhu, and I can help him. My subordinates have already transferred the Regent's people just now."

The man looked back and asked Li Xiu again, "You said you are the emperor's man, what token do you have?"

Li Xiu took out the silver medal from the city and threw it to the man, "This is the silver medal from the city given to me by my father. It is the brand from the Daming Palace, not the Xingqing Palace."

The man took over the silver medal and said, "You wait for a moment!"

He went into the house, and soon a man in his thirties came out, with a medium figure but very strong appearance. He bowed with his fists and said, "I will meet your highness in the next round!"

Li Xiu's heart moved, "Have you seen me?"

Cheng Zhu grinned, "I still have your IOU!"

Li Xiu suddenly realized and smiled and said, "I've been seriously ill and forgot about many people, but this is not a place for talking. They found that they would come back by being deceived, so why don't we change the place."

Cheng Zhu nodded and turned around and said, "Brother Ning, you should leave quickly too!"

He immediately said to Li Xiu: "Your Highness, please come with me!"

………………

They were still in the village, but they changed into a house and were in a farmhouse thatched hut.

"The owner of this house has nothing to do with me, and they can't find it."

Li Xiu said a long story short, "General Chen said you have important clues, and I hope you can tell me honestly."

Cheng Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "The princess's wedding is about to come. I felt that the princess was not safe, so Fei Ge sent a letter to the emperor, and the emperor ordered me to hide the princess."

Li Xiu was stunned, "Wait a minute, are you Chen Xuanli's person? Or the emperor's person?"

"I was originally Chen Xuanli's personal soldier, but the emperor trusted me and asked me to be the princess's guard commander. Of course, I was loyal to the emperor. It was just because I was desperate these days that I defected to Chen Xuanli."

There is a loophole in this statement! What does it mean to be desperate? Since you are the emperor, why don’t you go to Pei Kuan? Why don’t you go to Li Sheng?

This Cheng Zhu is not credible.

Li Xiu kept silent and continued to ask: "Is the monster in the river your hands and feet?"

"That's right! I found a group of Indians to create the illusion of the princess being kidnapped. Coincidentally, just west of Tianjin Bridge, there was a group of warriors who were preparing to kidnap the princess, but I still took the lead. The princess hid in the mezzanine of the carriage and sneaked out at night..."

"Then what?"

Cheng Zhu sighed, "You may not believe it. I was also deceived by the princess. That night the princess didn't come to the agreed place to find me, and she ran away with the people."

"Runned with someone?" Li Xiu's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Zhu lowered his voice and said, "The princess has a lover!"

"Nonsense!"

"Then we have nothing to talk about, please come back!"

Li Xiu looked at him coldly, "Is it true?"

"This is the princess' biggest secret. Only two people know that one is her confidant maid A'e, and the other is me."

It was never new to the Tang Dynasty princesses looking for a lover. Li Xiu was not surprised by this incident, but the result was too bloody. Everyone thought she was kidnapped or hidden by the emperor.

The truth of such a thrilling struggle was that the princess eloped with her lover.

"You guessed that elopement with your lover?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. When I chased the river, the boat had already left the shore. The princess told me that she didn't want to marry Yang Hui."

"Have you told the emperor? The princess has a lover."

Cheng Zhu shook his head, "How could I tell the emperor about such a thing?"

Li Xiu asked again: "What other important clues do you have?"

Cheng Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "The princess's lover is Mu Yi. Once, the princess had a headache for several consecutive days. When Mu Yi came to catch the princess, the princess fell in love with him. This person is very brave and good at sweet words. I guess he is a liar. As long as he finds him, he can find the princess."

"Then what, are there any clues about Mu Yi?"

Cheng Zhu shook his head, "I don't know anything."

At this time, a scream came from afar, as if Li Cui and the others were back.

Li Xiu said sincerely: "Person Cheng, since we are all looking for princesses for the emperor, why not join forces!"

Cheng Zhu hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, an arrow shot out of the window with a strong arrow. The arrow was powerful and an arrow shot through Cheng Zhu's vest.

Cheng Zhu looked at the arrow point in his chest in disbelief, and endless anger appeared in his eyes. He worked hard for him, but he killed himself.

He struggled and turned around to leave, but after walking two steps, he fell down with a bang, and the last trace of vitality in his eyes disappeared.

Looking at Cheng Zhu's body gradually getting colder, Li Xiu shook his head. In the eyes of these powerful people, his lives were as lowly as grass.

If Cheng Zhu didn't die, Li Xiu might be a little confused, but once Cheng Zhu died, his heart suddenly became as clear as a mirror.

No wonder King Xue was afraid of Li Xiu, no wonder Li Xiu was able to pass Chen Xuanli's test and invite him into the game.

Li Xiu does have a kind of intelligence that is far beyond ordinary people. He has a thousand three hundred years of historical accumulation than others.

It's hard to fool him.

Li Xiu felt that Cheng Zhu was like a machine, hiding in a hidden place. When he found this machine, he pressed the button and told the machine to tell all the truth.

But Cheng Zhu is a human, not a machine. The reason why he acts like a machine is because he was specially placed here by Chen Xuanli.

This is his mission. Everything he said was specially recorded by Chen Xuanli.

Now that he has completed his mission, Chen Xuanli killed him.
