When Xia Han heard Lu Zhiyao's words, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "Xia Han has a humble status, how can he call the Eighth Princess his sister? Thank you to the Eighth Princess for the promotion, but this matter is still considered
Alright."
"Humble status?" Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had objections to Xia Han's words. "If you have a humble status, then who does Nangong Nuo'er mean to you? I have long regarded you as my sister, the Xia family
I will give you a satisfactory explanation sooner or later, so Xiaohan, you have to remember that you are a member of the Xia family, there is no shame in it, and one day, there will be people who want to curry favor with you and work hard to follow
You, the Xia family, have some connections, do you understand?"
Xia Han sat there quietly and listened to Lu Zhiyao's words, then nodded slowly twice, looked at Lu Zhiyao deeply, and said softly: "Xia Han understands."
"Just understand." Lu Zhiyao smiled sweetly and asked, "Tell me, why did you come to me?"
"Brother Bai and the others asked me to ask." Xia Han remembered the business, straightened up quickly, and started talking to Lu Zhiyao. "You must have something important to do when you come back in a hurry this time. They asked me to ask
Is there anything we can do to help you? You and the Eighth Prince saved our lives, so we have been living a leisurely life here without feeling comfortable."
"Yes, but not now." Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed and he said to Xia Han: "Go back and tell them that it's not the time for them to take action yet."
"Eight..." Xia Han wanted to call the Eighth Princess, but when he saw Lu Zhiyao's sharp gaze, he stopped, and then whispered: "Sister, what do you mean?"
"Go and call them over and tell them that I have something to tell them."
Xia Han responded, quickly stood up, called Bai Lixuan and the others, and then exited the room. Lu Zhiyao sat on the chair, glanced at the three people in front of him, motioned for them to sit down, and asked:
"You have been with General Xia for so long. Let me ask you, what do you think of the Qingming Kingdom? The Qingming Kingdom has been eyeing us in the past few years, wanting the lion to devour us. Do you think it has never been able to do so?
What’s the reason for success?”
Lu Zhiyao suddenly talked about state affairs with the three of them, which surprised the three grown men. After looking at each other, Bai Lixuan seriously thought about Lu Zhiyao's question and replied: "The relationship between Qingming Kingdom and our country is
In comparison, it has a great advantage in terms of terrain. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only the south intersects with our country, so it puts little pressure on defending against foreign enemies, but we are different. Moreover, Qingming Kingdom always likes surprises and surprises.
When launching an attack, their soldiers are very good at night attacks. I have experienced this myself once, and we were also defeated miserably that time."
"I remember that time too." Liu Xisheng's face turned a little ugly as he recalled the past. "The number of Qingming Kingdom's troops may not be larger than ours, but the strength of each person is far higher than ours. General Xia once said
However, if you want to defeat them, you must be better than them at what they are good at."
"When did General Xia say this?" Lu Zhiyao asked with interest.
"A few years ago, our Xia family and Nangong family have always had different views on how to treat the Qingming Kingdom. Nangong Lingfeng thought that the people in the Qingming Kingdom were just a group of barbarians. When the two armies fought, as long as
If we have the upper hand in numbers, we will definitely not lose." As Bai Lixuan spoke, he couldn't help but think of something. Nangong Lingfeng once came to Xia's house to have a drink with Xia Zhenkun and discussed how to deal with the Qingming Kingdom. However,
That time, too, they parted on bad terms as always. When these two people are together, there is rarely any peaceful time.
Lu Zhiyao listened to Bai Lixuan's words, recalled that special concubine selection meeting, and smiled bitterly. Yes, even the women of Qingming Kingdom are so barbaric, let alone the soldiers who were prostituted by Xuanyuan Haotian.
"Brother Bai, if you have time, think of more ways to deal with the Qingming Kingdom. It will always come in handy in the future. I think after the Eighth Prince comes back this time, he will tell you what you should do next.
Something happened."
"The imperial concubine is reminding us that Qing Ming Kingdom is going to attack us?" Qing Ling, who had been silent until now, frowned at Lu Zhiyao and asked such a sentence, which made the atmosphere in the room suddenly tense.
"I didn't say this, and no one can say it for sure. It's just that we can't fight an unprepared battle. The three of you are all going to return to the battlefield in the future, so I don't want to wait until that day.
, but you have forgotten how to arrange your infantry in formation and how to wield your sword to kill the enemy."
Lu Zhiyao's words made Bai Lixuan and the others feel hope. They nodded in unison with solemn expressions, and the three of them walked out of Lu Zhiyao's room. Lu Zhiyao looked at the closed door, walked to the bed and lay down regardless of the image.
Go down.
It is indeed not that simple to stay awake all night.
Lu Zhiyao slept in his clothes for a few hours. After waking up, another person quietly left. She walked around the city and found that Lu Zhiqing and Lin Yixiang had moved out of the palace and lived in Prince Luo's Mansion, and were with Nangong Nuo'er.
Preparations for the wedding have also begun.
Moving out of the palace has both good and bad aspects for Lu Zhiqing. The good thing is that she can have the opportunity to contact the Ye family while Lin Yixiang is not paying attention. The bad thing is that there are not so many pairs of eyes in the palace staring at her.
Nangong Nuoer wanted to do something to her, which was something simpler.
Lu Zhiyao was secretly watching everything in Prince Luo's Mansion. Lin Yixiang was not in the manor, and Lu Zhiqing did not have the posture that a princess should have at all. She looked nothing like the arrogant second lady who once was in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Heaven and earth. The servants and maids around her were all brought directly from the palace. They were very shrewd and knew how to handle things. Lu Zhiqing had been out of favor for so long, and Lin Yixiang had no intention of favoring her again. In addition,
Nangong Nuo'er was about to get married, so they all knew what Lu Zhiqing's status would be in the future, so they didn't care about this master even more.
Seeing Lu Zhiqing's miserable look, Lu Zhiyao sighed helplessly and shook his head. How could it go on like this?
Lu Zhiyao turned around and left, and came back cautiously after a while. After leaving something for Lu Zhiqing, he left completely, went home to eat something, and prepared to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Lan Ruoling.
Lu Zhiqing looked at the letters that suddenly appeared on the table in the room, and her face turned pale with fright. She stood in front of the table and read for a long time, then frightened and picked up the letter, and looked cautiously in the direction of the door.
, ran to the back room, sat on the bed and opened it.
A letter once completely changed her relationship with Lin Yixiang, so she was very afraid of what kind of disaster this letter would bring to her. However, after reading a few lines of words, Lu Zhiqing's brain was a little exhausted.
Who wrote this letter? Who wants to help me secretly?
In fact, Lu Zhiyao didn't tell Lu Zhiqing any clever tricks. He just felt that after Lu Zhiqing experienced so many things, he would become more or less smarter, so even if she didn't say something too clearly, she would still know it.
Understand, otherwise, no matter how hard you teach, it will all be a waste of time.
Lu Zhiyao told Lu Zhiqing that Lin Yixiang is not someone who likes to be manipulated by women. Sooner or later, he will get bored of a woman as strong as Nangong Nuoer, etc. Lu Zhiqing calmed down and read the handwriting on the letter, thinking about this
What has happened for a while has made my mind, which has been confused, become clearer and have ideas.
Lu Zhiyao ordered Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong to follow Nangong Nuo'er in turn, pay attention to whether she left the house during the day, or did something and then come back to tell her. She still disguised herself as Lan Ruoling every night.
Squatting in the house, Nangong Nuoer never showed up to do anything to Lu Yuanzheng. Everyone thought that Nangong Nuoer was happy about his upcoming marriage, so he forgot about Lu Yuanzheng for a while. But Lu Zhizhi
Yao, but she didn’t think so at all. She insisted on paying attention to Nangong Nuo’er’s movements every day. Finally, after Zhan Yulong told her that Nangong Nuo’er had been out shopping all day today and returned to Nangong Mansion happily.
, Lu Zhiyao sighed heavily.
"Bring a message to Lan Ruoling. Just tell her that I won't take her place tonight and let her find some time to rest. She will be on guard today and tomorrow." Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and whispered to Zhan Yulong: "Nangong
Nuo'er will definitely take action in the next two days, I have to think of a way to make her give up."
"The Eighth Princess is so sure that she will take action in the next two days?" Zhan Yulong heard Lu Zhiyao say this and couldn't help but be a little curious, how did she know that Nangong Nuo'er planned to take action.
"I'm not completely sure, but there is something wrong with Nangong Nuo'er, that is, she is very happy before every murder, and she also goes to have a big meal. Let me ask you, has she been to any restaurant today?"
Zhan Yulong thought about what happened today, and then nodded hesitantly, puzzled by Lu Zhiyao's understanding of Nangong Nuo'er.
"That's all. You go find Ruo Ling. I have other things to do. I'll meet you at the Prime Minister's Mansion later."
After Lu Zhiyao sent Zhan Yulong away, he used the method that Ling Yi taught him before to change his appearance into a completely unfamiliar one. Then he took out a sachet that had not been used for some days and put it on his body. After getting ready, he went out.
.
Zhan Yulong found Lan Ruoling and told her what Lu Zhiyao said. Lan Ruoling did not dare to delay and immediately followed Lu Zhiyao's instructions. When the sky turned completely dark, she did not see Lu Zhiyao's face.
figure.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was quiet, as if there was no difference from usual. But Lu Zhiyao, who was hiding in the corner, knew exactly how lively the Prime Minister's Mansion would be today.
