When Cui Lie saw that even Lu Zhi was scared like this, the resentment on his face became more and more obvious.

"Now my brother knows what I said is not bad? Such a foolish and rebellious son may destroy my Cui family sooner or later."

However, compared to him, Lu Zhi seemed to calm down quickly.

He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "Brother Weikao has he ever told him that he has come back and asked carefully about the source of this news?"

Cui Lie waved his hand: "Why ask more questions? It must be that his friends and friends randomly fabricated nonsense."

Lu Zhi frowned slightly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Oh?" Cui Lie seemed to calm down a little when he heard what he said.

"Does Zigan think there is something strange about this?"

"Zhi also knows something about being a virtuous nephew. Although he likes to make friends with heroes, he is talented and filial, and has a good manner of dealing with things. He is definitely not a person who can talk nonsense."

Cui Lie seemed to have some reflection.

"Yeah, what Zigan said is reasonable, and Lie was also confused. So, in his opinion, would he be able to write a book to call him up tomorrow morning and ask carefully?"

Although Cui Lie is very talented, his knowledge is not as good as Lu Zhi when it comes to court affairs. He himself is very clear about this, so he hurriedly asked Lu Zhi for his opinion.

Lu Zhi stroked his beard and spoke for a while.

"There is no need to rush to call him back at this time. If what he said is true, then what he did at this time must be related to this. It will be a bad idea for us to call him back rashly. The letter is still there, can it be used to let Zhiyiguan?"

Although Cui Lie did not believe in what he said in the letter, now that Lu Zhi said so, he couldn't directly refute it.

He ordered the servants to go to his study to get the letter and hand it over to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi placed the cloth flat on the table in front of him and carefully read the content of the letter on it.

"Have you discovered Zigan?"

Lu Zhi let out a long sigh and said, "Well, what is said in this letter is indeed incredible. However, when I read the writing, I can't see any hypocrisy. Between the lines, there are worry about the family and country, and worry about the danger of parents and elder brothers."

Cui Lie frowned: "Does Zigan believe that this Taiping Dao really will cause trouble? Zhang Jiao has been obedient for decades. Although the teachings of the Taiping Buddhism are just false words, it is really impossible to believe that he will rebel against the court."

Lu Zhi shook his head: "No, Zhi does not believe what is said in the letter, but he just thinks that at least his nephew wrote this letter from sincerity, but whether he received this news was true or whether he was deceived by others, it is unknown at the moment."

But then, he changed his mind again.

"However... what he said doesn't seem to be groundless."

Cui Lie raised his eyebrows, as if he could hear something out of the way.

"Is this matter even confirmed?"

Lu Zhi nodded and said, "It was originally something ordinary, but Zhi didn't take it to heart. But now he has read the letter from his nephew and linked these little things with the big things mentioned in the letter. It seems that there is something vaguely related to the... "

Cui Lie was shocked: "What do you know about the small things that Zi did? "

"I believe Brother Weikao also knows that although the teachings explained by Taiping Tao are false in your eyes, there are still people who believe in the court. Although this matter is not up to the forefront, it is not harmful. Therefore, everyone, including Your Majesty, turned a blind eye to these people in the past and did not pursue them."

"Yeah, this is true." Cui Lie nodded.

"However, over the past few months, Zhi has seen or heard that there is a disciple under Zhangjiao's seat. It is said that his surname is Ma, but his name is unknown. This person has frequently entered and exited many court officials and military generals in recent days, and even several times, even several regular attendants in the palace have made a special trip out of the palace to meet him."

"Especially not long ago, Zhi saw Xu Changshi coming out of the mansion of Captain Ma. One of them was the Changshi who served His Majesty in the palace, and the other was the lieutenant in the army who held thousands of people. What important things can we do?"

Now Cui Lie realized that it was a little unusual.

Although some officials usually had contact with the Taiping Cult, they rarely stayed in their own residences in Luoyang City. After all, the emperor here always had to avoid suspicion, and it was even more impossible for many officials to meet with Zhang Jiao's disciples frequently in a short period of time.

This is how people are. If you don’t think about the same thing, you will have to think about it. Once you think about it carefully, the more you think about it, the more you become, the more wrong it will be.

The two of them looked at each other and their faces began to become a little unnatural.

At this moment, a happy voice sounded, pulling the two of them back from their thoughts.

"Duke Lu is here, my nephew is polite!"

It turned out that Cui Lie's eldest son arrived, that is, Cui Jun's elder brother, whose name is Cui Jun and whose courtesy name is Yuanping.

He was very happy to hear that the great scholar Lu Zhi arrived and rushed over and wanted to ask for a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Cui Lie suddenly scolded: "Being arrogant, my father and Gong Lu are discussing major affairs in the court. How dare you break in without authorization? You still don't withdraw!"

"Father, it's not that you sent someone to call your child..."

Cui Jun looked puzzled, but when he looked at Cui Lie's face, he could only put away the doubts in his heart and hurriedly retreated.

Seeing him like this, Lu Zhi felt unbearable: "Don't care about nephew. I happened to talk about an important matter with Lingzun, which is secret, so I can't tell you. You should leave. I will send someone to invite my nephew to come to the mansion one day."

After getting Lu Zhi's words, Cui Jun immediately turned happy.

"My nephew thanked Mr. Lu first!"

When the two saw him retreating, they looked at each other again.

"Brother Zigan, should you and I go to see Mr. Yang immediately? If this matter is indeed true, as the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, he is the chief responsible person."

"Yeah, right. Now this matter has not been confirmed. It is not easy for you and I to report to you and I to the court that Mr. Bo Xian is the Grand Marshal, and his son Biao is also the Weiwei. The father and son, one is in charge of the military affairs of the world and the other is responsible for the imperial guards. It is reasonable to report this to them in advance. However, if this matter is true, Brother Weikao's youngest son has made great contributions this time!"

"If this is the case, I'm afraid he's lucky, but if there is a falsehood, I'd rather take him back and take care of him."

Cui Lie said this, but when he mentioned Cui Jun again, his tone and expression had been much more relaxed than before.

The two court officials were anxious and, regardless of the fact that they were too late today, went out and headed straight for the Yang Mansion.

All night, the people from Cui's Mansion and Lu's Mansion had never seen them return home.

The two of them talked to the Grand Marshal Yang Ci in Yang's Mansion, but outsiders had no idea. However, from the next morning, the imperial guards of the palace and the defenders of Luoyang City suddenly began some unpredictable mobilizations.

At the same time, in a forest in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang City, three people were running wildly on horseback, in a very embarrassed manner, and ran to a dilapidated temple before stopping to rest for a while.

"Master Qu, I don't know what happened to the court. I suddenly changed the defense early this morning and was preparing to arrest us for inquiries. If Captain Ma hadn't reminded us in advance and asked us to escape from the city, I'm afraid that the three of us would have fallen into the hands of the court. It would be really dangerous to think about it."

The man in the middle of the three blew the ground in the ruined temple and sat down cross-legged.

"Hmph, I'll be able to complete it in two days. I don't know where the news came from in the court, which made us fail. It's really hateful. If I let Ma Yuanyi know who told me, I must catch him and dismember him, and I will vent my hatred!"

Another follower said: "Master Qu, the situation is not that serious now. The court has just changed some defenses. The group of generals you have won have only changed from an important position and have not been removed from their posts. Although it will affect the plan, they still have a lot of troops after all."

"Yes, as a villain, we might as well go to see the great wise and good teachers immediately. While the court has not yet discovered the plan of my teaching, we should attack immediately. Even if they are already on guard, relying on the hard work of our Taiping Cult for so many years, it will be enough to achieve success!"

Ma Yuanyi's face changed and finally made a decision.

"Okay! Master has sent someone to inform him that he had arrived in a village about 70 miles east of Luoyang City the day before yesterday. It was only half a day away. Let's go and meet him immediately!"

The three of them took a break and got on their horses again and rushed towards the east.
