Lu Zhou and Little Yuan 'er stayed in an inn in Rubei City.
Before the sun set, Lu Zhou said to Little Yuan 'er, "Send word to Jiang Aijian. Tell him to come here."
"Master, will he come?"
"Go to a nearby relay station and find a commoner to deliver a letter," Lu Zhou said.
"Huh?"
Little Yuan 'er was puzzled.' Isn't it faster to send a letter? Why would he send a letter through a commoner? '
"Go."
"Oh."
Little Yuan 'er left the inn.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and walked to the window. He looked at Rubei City.
Rubei and Runan were one city to begin with.
They were not far from each other.
With Jiang Aijian's temperament, he would not stay in the Divine Capital.
Little Yuan 'er returned to the inn after she was done.
"Master, it's done," Little Yuan 'er said.
"Mhm … Go and rest."
At night.
The sky was dotted with stars.
Lu Zhou did not sleep. He spent the long night meditating on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
Early the next morning.
Thud! Thud!
Someone knocked on the door.
"Old senior … it's me …"
Lu Zhou opened his eyes and said, "Come in."
Creak.
Jiang Aijian pushed the door open and hopped in like a monkey. Then, he poked his head out and looked around. When he saw no one, he carefully closed the door.
He leaned against the door and patted his chest. He heaved a long sigh and said, "That scared me … Fortunately, nobody followed me. I'm a f * cking genius!"
"Jiang Aijian!" Lu Zhou raised his voice slightly.
"Old … old senior." “
Jiang Aijian hastily lowered his body. He crept to the table and said with a chuckle, "Calm down, calm down …"
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"What else could it be? The Second Prince wants to attack the Fourth Prince and set up a trap. It has nothing to do with the Evil Sky Pavilion. Zhao Yue is safe, "Jiang Aijian said with a smile.
"Hm?"
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. "As expected."
"As expected?"
Jiang Aijian looked at Lu Zhou weakly. He did not know what Lu Zhou's words meant.
"Someone impersonated you and sent a letter to the Evil Sky Pavilion …" Lu Zhou said.
"Huh?"
Jiang Aijian shuddered. He scratched his head. "I was wondering why you suddenly used a mortal to send a message, old senior. As expected, the stupidest method is the safest … Uh, no, no, no, that's not what I meant. What I mean is that Elder suspects that someone knows of my existence? "
Lu Zhou merely glanced at Jiang Aijian before he rose to his feet slowly and walked to the window.
The sun rose in the east.
"Could it be your seventh disciple, Si Wuya?" Jiang Aijian said, "He's been investigating me for a long time now … He even killed many of my informants. I haven't even settled the score with him. This time, he purposely released the news to lure the old senior over. He was trying to kill his master and offend his superiors! You have guts! "
Lu Zhou remained silent.
This possibility could not be ruled out.
However, if Si Wuya and Yu Zhenghai were on the same side, would they help the Imperial family deal with the Evil Sky Pavilion? This was illogical, and there was no motive or reason for it. Therefore, this possibility was very small.
"Are you sure the people around you are trustworthy?" Lu Zhou looked at Jiang Aijian.
Jiang Aijian was taken aback.
When it came to matters like this, one should never doubt the people they trusted.
Nobody was absolutely certain that there were no disloyal people around them.
"If it's not Si Wuya, it must be someone else. Heh … Which idiot dares to impersonate me? Wait, since you've seen through me, why did you come to Rubei, old senior? " Jiang Aijian looked at Lu Zhou in confusion. Before Lu Zhou could say anything, he said, "You want to kill Mo Li?"
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at the scenery outside. "Someone will kill Mo Li."
"Wow, old senior, do you want to take a look?" Jiang Aijian asked with a mischievous smile.
"Hm?"
"The Empress Dowager is recuperating in the Obedient Villa. The Second and Fourth Princes have gone to the enclosure … I'm betting on the Second Prince. Who are you betting on, old senior? "Jiang Aijian asked.
Lu Zhou stared at Jiang Aijian.
Jiang Aijian's expression did not change as he looked at Jiang Aijian quietly. Lu Zhou felt chills running up his spine.
Jiang Aijian waved his hand and said, "I'm just joking …"
At the end of the day, Jiang Aijian was their brother. How could he bear to use them as a gambling chip?
"You're bringing me there?" Lu Zhou did not expect this.
His original plan was to stay here and not go anywhere else.
Then, he would wait for news from Leng Luo. After all, Leng Luo was an Eight-leaf elite. If he went on a rampage, nobody would be able to stop him.
"I heard that there's a Formation in Rubei … I have a way to sneak in. Moreover, I have a way to escape. I've studied Mo Li's tricks a long time ago," Jiang Aijian said.
"Don't worry, old senior … There are many secret passages in that shabby villa. Even Liu Huan doesn't know about them. Once I'm there, I can slip away at any time if I want to. Oh, wait … With your cultivation base, why would you need to slip away? "
Lu Zhou's expression did not change.
He recalled Qin Jun's words.
The entire Jing He Palace had been burned down. It was clear that Jiang Aijian had done many things to target Mo Li.
Now, everything made sense.
Lu Zhou had his doubts. Since Jiang Aijian had left the palace, why was he still so concerned about the palace's affairs?
Perhaps, he wanted to seek justice for the thousands of people in Jing He Palace.
Lu Zhou looked at Jiang Aijian again. He thought to himself, 'This fellow is usually all smiles. I didn't expect him to have a story behind him.'
As the saying went, 'Don't hit someone in the face.'
Lu Zhou had no intention of mentioning Jing He Palace.
"Lead the way," Lu Zhou said calmly.
…
In the afternoon. At the entrance of Rubei City.
Two groups of soldiers entered the city in a grandiose manner.
The civilians made way for them.
The Second Prince, Liu Huan, rode on his horse and said with a smile, "Fourth Brother, I've been in the palace for too long. I can't compare to a veteran general like you!"
"You flatter me, Brother. It's just a small trick … We're just killing some ordinary wild beasts," the Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, said with a smile.
In other words, the real battlefield was much more brutal than these wild beasts.
Liu Huan nodded. "You're right, Fourth Brother … It's just for fun. Grandmother will be resting in Shuntian for a few days. Let's have some fun with this. "
"We can't be too obsessed … Brother, I heard you've prepared something new for Grandmother?"
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. You'll know when we get to Shuntian."
"Alright!"
The two brothers rode on their horses and sped toward the Shuntian Summer Villa.
…
On the second floor of the pavilion in the Shuntian Villa.
Han Yuyuan walked over and sat down calmly. "Sect Master Si, how was your rest last night?"
Si Wuya looked at the peaceful villa through the window and said, "Not bad … I'm just curious why your show hasn't started yet."
"Are you impatient?" Han Yuyuan asked with a smile.
"I'm a little impatient …" Si Wuya turned around and faced Han Yuyuan with his hands behind his back. "General Han, with your magnanimity, you should be able to untie me, right?"
When his subordinate heard this, he cursed, "You're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! General … Why are you wasting your breath on him? Why don't you end him with a slash? "
Han Yufang turned around and glared at his subordinate. “
After saying this, a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Untie me."
