Chapter 97 Departure
Lord Hong nodded and said with concern: "My brother is both inside and outside the palace, but he must be cautious and must not be careless. It is difficult for someone named Xia to deal with."
Lord Xing nodded and said softly: "The Shadow Guard of the inner palace is the best at peeking secrets, but the Shadow Guard is not able to fly to the sky and escape, and there is no way to peek in the sun."
Lord Hong nodded and said, "It seems that the matter of Your Majesty establishing a military army in Changzhou is already very urgent."
"How can he not be anxious? He already has the intention to move the capital to Hongzhou." Lord Xing said in a soft voice.
"Oh, he is willing to leave Jiangning." Lord Hong said in surprise.
"I am willing to let go, but I am willing to let go. Most of the territory of the Tang Kingdom is in the west. If the capital is not moved to Hongzhou, the imperial court's control over the west will become worse and worse. Moreover, the war between Zhou and Yan Kingdom will end sooner or later. Once the Zhou army comes south, Jiangning will be in crisis. In addition, the Yue Kingdom's continuous attack on Changzhou has led to Jiangning's status becoming increasingly attacked by enemies from both sides. He now wants to restrain the Jiangyin army in Changzhou, and also make plans for the King of Ying to stay in Jiangning." Lord Xing said in a deep voice.
"So, the prince will go west in the future." Lord Hong raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That's natural. If he kept the prince in Jiangning, wouldn't it give the Jiangyin army a chance to support the throne? At least Your Majesty would think so." Lord Xing said in disdain.
"What a fool. Back then, he was able to use his kinship with Zhang and asked the Jiangyin army to go to the west to station in Poyang Lake. But he suppressed Zhang too early, and as a result, the Zhang family forced him to support the army and protect himself." Lord Hong said dissatisfied.
"He just knows how to use his mind and does not have the overall courage of the emperor. He is very suspicious and has to pretend to be a benevolent monarch to govern the country. Look at the ministers he trusts, almost most of them are treacherous ministers, especially the Minister Zhao, who has repeatedly built palaces to his heart and soul, and has relied on his confidant officials." Lord Xing said disdainfully.
"Shilarious Minister Zhao is the background of Zhou. Now His Majesty wants Zhou to invade Xinghua Army. I heard that Shilarious Minister Zhao will also go to Xinzhou to serve as the chief minister." Lord Hong responded.
"It's not only that the governor's history will be replaced, but also the governor's history will be replaced. I heard that it was Wei Hao, the Dali Shishi, who was directly sent to office. In fact, that is to lay the foundation for the future capital movement." Lord Xing said in a soft voice.
"Wei Hao is the young man who has a strong wife from Zhou family. Well, that person is still very capable of doing things." Lord Hong responded and commented.
"I am capable, but if I can't pass, Raozhou may not be able to make achievements. Nowadays, military and political officials in the western region have been greatly eroded by the Yuwen family and the Rong family. Most of the chief officials who went to the court have been swept or undermined. Or even if they die in office, our Majesty will be helpless." Lord Xing said in a soft voice.
"He should have gone to Hongzhou ten years ago and was able to bring Jiangyin troops there in the name of protecting the emperor, but he was greedy for Jiangning's luxury and refused to go. The painstaking efforts of the late emperor were really ruined by him." Lord Hong suddenly rebuked.
Lord Xing was stunned, smiled, stood up, and said softly: "Stop yelling, I'll go back to the palace to deal with it, you can go back too."

Lu Qi sat in the car, frowned and worried. The sudden attack order of the eunuch Zheng caught him off guard and was very passive. He killed Meng Shi, and only saw the eunuch who was on both sides, and could actually order him to do it with trust. Are you used to being domineering? Or did Emperor Tang really have a murderous order?
Lu Qi was shocked and his heart was cold. He suddenly realized that the eunuch's words were probably true, otherwise how could a eunuch kill Meng Shi? Meng Shi was just a powerless prince's relative minister, and it would be difficult for him to form a deep hatred with the eunuch.
If Emperor Tang really wanted to kill Meng Shi, would he have directly ordered him to kill him? It should not be possible. How could Emperor Tang trust him? Of course, it could have also asked him to kill him orally. What would the result be?
Lu Qi's eyes showed coldness. Emperor Tang wanted to kill Meng Shi, why did he kill Meng Shi? The only reason was that Meng Shi helped the prince do things. What about him? It was also considered to have done things for the prince. Emperor Tang wanted to kill Meng Shi, so how could he let him go? If he received the order to kill Meng Shi, the later action would become the murderer. Oral order, oral order.
Lu Qi was glad that he had not compromised, and he could not compromise. At this time, he felt a little more panic. He was targeted by Emperor Tang to kill him. It was definitely a disaster that could not escape. He closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, and after a moment, he calmed down.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already calm. He knew that worry was useless and fear would only torture him. What should he do? He smiled coldly. Emperor Tang wanted to kill him, so he would not be punished without guilt. He would either assassinate, find a crime, or frame the evidence of the crime. He could only deal with it carefully, and also make a way out for escape as soon as possible.
After returning to the embroidery shop smoothly, Lu Qi did not forget to give the coachman ten taels of silver. Sometimes the little people were worth buying. The coachman was stunned and took the silver, thanked Lu Qi and drove away.
After thinking it through, Lu Qi was already calm and entered the embroidery shop to get into the warmth of the home. The next morning, he went to Zuiyun Restaurant and changed into Mingguang General Armor. The officials also arrived one after another. Uncle Guiwu and the other two stayed in the restaurant last night.
After the generals and officials were all together, Lu Qi led his subordinates out of the capital and took horses at the military horse farm outside the capital. Then he went to the East City Gate to wait until noon. After the generals had just finished their military rice, Meng Shi brought people there.
Lu Qiyi saw that Meng Shi was riding a car and was accompanied by more than 20 cavalry generals. The cavalry generals were all arched with swords and 9 of them were Ming Guang's armor. Lu Qi saw the Martial Arts Captain whom he met yesterday, but no one else knew him.
"Marquis Lu Yu, I will introduce you to the nine generals of Mingguang Armor, the new generals of Ningguo Army. Go over and say hello." Meng Shi's face was in the car window, and he said to Lu Qi in a loud voice.
After hearing this, Lu Qi was in a strife. After he had experienced yesterday, he had already guessed that Emperor Tang had the intention to kill him. The reason was that he did something for the prince, but after Meng Shi said this, he could only deal with it helplessly.
He drove the horse back several meters and said loudly: "I am the prince of the palace minister, the prince of the palace, and I have met you."
The nine generals and officers of Mingguang armor looked mostly stunned, but soon started to return the gifts one after another. Suddenly, Mengshi said in his voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the governor of Ningguo Army. Since you are the generals of Ningguo Army, you will respectfully call Marquis Lu Yu the Lord in the future."
After hearing this, Lu Qi really wanted to give Meng Shi an arrow. Meng Shi asked nine Ningguo generals to respect him as their lords, which was to commit suicide. Once Emperor Tang knew about it, he would definitely increase his desire to kill him. Meng Shi was willing to be loyal to the prince, but he insisted on pulling him into the water.
Lu Qi was unhappy, but he could only calmly pluck his horse back to the car and said, "Sir, let's set off."
Meng Shi looked at Lu Qi and Yan nodded, and Lu Qi turned around and shouted: "Let's leave."
Dozens of cavalry guards embarked on a journey with a car. The weather was hot on the way and the brigade could not walk fast. Lu Qi took the initiative to give the order to allow the generals to follow and meet and chat with their companions at will. After Meng Shi's out, he could only be the leader of the trip calmly. It was also beneficial to be the leader, which was to take the initiative.
After his order, Lu Hai immediately approached him and asked for advice on martial arts. Lu Qi also admired Lu Hai in his heart and saw that Lu Hai had an iron chain-shaped wheeled axe behind him, which was the unique owner of Qimen weapons on this trip.
Along the way, Lu Qi and Lu Hai exchanged martial arts experiences with each other as masters and disciples. Lu Qi did not arrogantly look down on Lu Hai. Every warrior must have his strengths. For example, using heavy weapons is a weakness for Lu Qi. His military martial arts is the most suitable for horse probing. However, after learning the supernatural power, Lu Qi possessed the power of a long battle, and brave generals charge often die due to arrows and lack of successors.
Lu Qi knew that the so-called brave figure that thousands of men were not worthy of, and that human beings had limited courage. They would become weak under the exhaustion of power. The strange martial arts master he met before, once he met an elite archer, he would become a dead body under dozens of heavy bows. People in martial arts can be ranked first, but they cannot be claimed to be invincible in all battles.
At dusk, the brigade lived in a place called Danshui Town. The vanguard sent by Lu Qi had already booked the best inn in Danshui Town. As soon as the brigade arrived, he easily entered the inn.
When Lu Qi saw Meng Shi get out of the car, he said, "Sir, I want to live with you, can you?"
