Chapter Nineteen: The Mystery of the Lu Family

King Wei was not far from the stall, but stopped beside a willow tree fifty meters away. The river breeze blew the willow branches and swayed. The moonlight was thick tonight, and the shimmering waves in the river reflected a full moon, quiet and beautiful. On the stone bridge opposite, one or two pairs of whispering little lovers occasionally walked by, and King Wei smiled knowingly.

The hour of Hai had passed before him, but the mysterious person invited did not come as promised. King Wei lifted up his long sleeves, pulled off a piece of green branches from the branches beside him, and gestured up and down, passing the time.

These mysterious organizations in the world have emerged like bamboo shoots recently.

A wave of old friends came last night. Who will meet today?

The man in black who was found the day before yesterday was probably an ally, and the half of the piece of Hetian jade was exactly matched with him, which Qi Xiu gave him.

I just don’t know who the owner of Shufeng Tower is now? Why has a sect in the martial arts world been involved in power struggles? What is the purpose? What is his relationship with Lu Qixiu?

King Wei dropped the branch in his hand and pinched a plain sachet that fell on his waist, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

The person he spent several years looking for finally got a little bit, hoping that he would not return empty-handed this time.

Since the eldest brother passed away, the burden on his shoulders has become heavier and heavier. Coupled with the injustice of his friends, he, the prince, lived in dire straits and was indifferent to the storm.

He did not get involved with the third brother's concubine, but asked Zhu Bei to throw it back to Prince Qing's mansion directly.

Of course, he did this not to beg for mercy, but to shock the person who created the conspiracy.

This is quite effective. If I hadn't been reminded of my third brother unintentionally, how could the second decree of my father be so smooth?

"Young Master, are you waiting for someone?" A young child voice came from behind, interrupting his thoughts.

King Wei turned around and saw a thin little boy, with big black eyes open and looking at him with questions.

King Wei nodded, "Someone asked me to give you this." The little boy handed a note and turned around and wanted to leave.

"Who gave it to you?" King Wei stopped the little boy and asked afterwards.

The little boy's dark eyes rolled a few times, "It's a beautiful sister, she gave me a tael of silver." After saying that, the little boy did not forget to look up and down at King Wei, and quietly waited for the following.

King Wei chuckled softly, Xiao Jingtou, asking him for money for directions.

King Wei took out a golden leaf from his pocket and shook it in front of the boy. The boy's eyes showed a longing light, and he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Do you want it?"

The boy nodded.

"Then I'll ask you a question, and you answer truthfully, and I'll give it to you."

The crisp "good" voice of children is crisp and neat.

"Do you know the beautiful sister who gave you the notes? Are there anyone else around her?"

The boy shook his head and said he didn't know each other. He paused for a moment and continued to say, "That sister seemed to have had a serious illness and kept coughing."

After saying that, the little boy touched his sleeves full of stains, stood there nervously, looking at the golden leaves in King Wei's hand with anticipation.

King Wei raised the golden leaves in his hand and handed them to the little boy.

The little boy took it happily, and ran away as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.

King Wei withdrew his hand, smiled, spread the note, and wrote a line of words on it with Yan Tilong Feifeng Dance: Fisherman's Tavern, remember to go alone."

There are hundreds of taverns on Huer Street. It takes some effort to find this one in the notes in a very short time.

King Wei made a few gestures in the darkness, and there were secret guards in the distance to act.

Less than half a moment when the command was issued, the leading guard Zhu Bei quickly said a few words in the ear of King Wei, and instantly disappeared into the thick night.

King Wei flirted with his long gown, turned around and sank into the street where the lights were still brightly lit. The bustling voices and the urban atmosphere surrounded him layer by layer, which made King Wei feel a sense of peace that he had never felt before.

As a prince, he was born and witnessed all kinds of power and conspiracies; all the teachings of the Grand Tutor were loyal to the emperor and assisted him. Even the closest mother was bothered to speak with the prince and recognize his position every day.

Sometimes it seems that I have forgotten what I really want.

King Wei pulled up his bitter mouth and thought of the heart-warming advice of Old Lady Lu: "Prince, can you tell me why King Qing was trapped in the Lu family and the water and fire again and again?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guanchu was slightly shocked. The old man's wise eyes were clear and clear, as if he was telling an insignificant gossip at this moment.

I don’t know when it started, a legend has been spread among the temples and the courts, even the Turks and the Uighurs.

The Lu family in Chang'an hides treasures that are rich and can rival the country in Qiongshan north of Longnan, as well as a hidden guard that commands the world.

There are many speculations about this. Wang Wei once peeked at the content of his informant in the documents in front of the imperial table in the Daming Palace. Previously, his father ignored this and the Lu family's status was stable until the incident of General Guangling occurred.

"What do you mean by the old lady?" King Wei, who was unaware of his habits, developed a bit of complex emotions. Are all the events in front of him derive in an uncontrollable direction?

The old man looked at him calmly: "I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of this rumor that those who have the hidden guards will win the world."

Old Mrs. Lu said something shocking. King Wei looked up at each other, and felt a secret shock in his heart. He really couldn't understand the old man's thoughts today, so he had to nod his head truthfully.

Old Mrs. Lu sighed, her face was so tired, and she told the whole story in a low tone: "This hidden guard should be the hidden guard of your Li family. People love to follow others the most, so they invisibly concealed the truth."

"Its story should start with the quelling of the Anshi Rebellion in the first year of Baoying. Lu Xian, the head of the Lu family, was just a small flying cavalry lieutenant. Because of his outstanding performance in the attack on the eastern capital Luoyang, he was appointed under Li Shibi. In the same year, due to the need to attack the Anshi rebels, most of the troops in the western region were withdrawn. Tubo took advantage of the opportunity to go deep into the mainland and attacked Tang in large numbers, occupying more than ten prefectures west of Fengxiang, Shaanxi and north of the provinces. In October of the first year of Guangde, he occupied Fengtian again and approached Chang'an. Dezong Li Shi was ordered to quell the Anshi Rebellion, together with Guo Ziyi, Li Bishi and others, quelled the Anshi Rebellion, attacked Tubo and recovered Chang'an. Lu Xian had outstanding achievements in this battle, so he was named General Guide, which was deeply trusted by Dezong and was sent to guard the military camps in Western Shu and Yunnan."

"After Dezong ascended the throne, he tried to seize the power of the local vassal governors who were respectful to the troops. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use force, which led to the "Four Kings and Two Emperors" incident and the "Jing Shi Rebellion" that occurred during the Zhenyuan period.

After these two sectarian events, Dezong's temperament changed drastically and began to believe in his slanderous ministers, thus establishing the left and right Shen Ce Army.

Dezong was still worried and doubtful. After waking up one day's dream, he urgently summoned Lu Xian back to Chang'an. After several twists and turns, he secretly formed another unknown hidden guard, which was hidden in the world."

"In recent years, I don't know how to reveal the news. The rumors are getting stronger and stronger. What is the Lu family's own military power and wealth behind them is as rich as the country."

The old lady shook her head, and she was quite helpless.

"My Lu family is just a false reputation from beginning to end, but today it has lost its infamous and separation of flesh and blood."

"Cough...cough..." The old lady was too excited, and the sudden cough interrupted the conversation.

"Can you need a moment of rest?" King Wei asked with concern and a worried look on his face.

The old man waved his hand, took the tea at the table and drank a few sips, stroked his chest gently, and his rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

"The old habits that have been around for years will be lingering as soon as autumn begins. It has been like this for decades, and the old man has become accustomed to it."

The old man said without caring.

"Did the imperial doctor have ever treated him?"

"When Wei'er was there, he visited famous doctors. The prescriptions were similar and the results were not good. I'll do this." Old Mrs. Lu sighed again, her vision was dim, but it was fleeting.

"Thank you for your care."

"You old lady, you are polite..." King Wei has always been respectful to the old man. He is sympathetic at this time. Not to mention the Lu family's family's friendship with the Tang Dynasty, only the affection of close friends and elders is also worthy of concern.

"Now, the life and death of a man is uncertain, the Lu family is in turmoil, and the old woman is in a state of turmoil, and the time is not long."

"Old Master weighed the pros and cons, and only by asking His Highness to let Wei'er down on some secrets."

Old Mrs. Lu changed her tone and turned her eyes to King Wei.

Li Guan felt the heavy expectation from it, his face sternly, and Zheng pointed at the head: "It's okay if you say it."

"The head of the Lu family generation is Wei'er, and some secrets are only passed down to him. The old woman had only vaguely learned a little from Wei'er's grandfather."

The old man recalled the past and looked sad. Most people in Chang'an knew that she and Lu Wei's grandfather Lu Zhan had a deep relationship. There were so many turmoils in the previous dynasty. She carried the title of Iron Lady and went deep into the enemy's caves many times to fight side by side with Lu Zhan, and followed her life and death.

"The one who can open the Qiongshan Secret Pass is a jade plate finger. Only by finding it can you know how to awaken the hidden guards who have been sleeping for many years."

"As for how to find it, you can only work harder for your Highness."

At this point, Li Guan nodded in agreement, and at the same time, a rush of blood surged into his chest. The rapid pleasure was like a war horse that broke free. Some things lurked deep in the depths were ready to move tonight, as if they wanted to break out of the cocoon, traveled through all difficulties, and would eventually return to their original state.

It turned out that he was also ambitious, and Li Guan sneered in his heart.

At this time, footsteps came from the corridor, alarming the two people in the room.

A low whisper sounded outside the door at the right time, "Yun Niang, let the lords of the royal palace come in." Old Mrs. Lu spoke first.

King Wei showed an apology and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Bei, why should I report it?"

The man in a strong outfit entered the door neatly and bowed: "I am humble, please see Old Lady Lu, Prince."

"Shi Zhu, please get up."

"Zhu Bei whispered in the ear of King Wei, and King Wei's eyes flashed, and there was a joyful feeling in his words, "When will it happen?"

"Less than an hour after His Highness entered the palace."

Zhu Bei reported it truthfully.

"Can you catch the sender?"

Zhu Bei shook his head regretfully.

"You take one step first and arrange everything, and I'll come later."

Zhu Bei led the order to go first.

King Wei also stood up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, the old lady touched her heart with a few words: "The prince has many people, and she dare not stay for a long time."
