Chapter 167 Lu Lingxuan’s person and identity of Phoenix
"You just said that Xiao Luan is dead? I really don't know..." Zu Jue sighed in surprise, and then expressed regret, "Oh, it's a pity, it's such a pity, she is also a gentle person. A pleasant beauty, although difficult to approach, but..."
Suddenly he felt a cold light move on his neck, as if a silver snake was spitting out a message, making his scalp numb. He raised his head and looked at the man standing in front of him who was also half-masked and wearing a black robe, and suddenly stopped talking. , smiling flatteringly.
"Why did Gao Yan and Gao Zhan send people to find Xiao Luan?"
At this time, the woman sitting on the couch finally spoke. She stood up slowly. The afterglow shining in from the window cast a halo on her body, making her look extremely ethereal.
The voice was also very pleasant, but it contained a coldness.
"How do I know this? It's hard to guess the emperor's will. Maybe it's because he cherishes talents! Moreover, there is a mentally disturbed person like Emperor Xuan in the Gao family. The descendants of the Gao family should also be a little scared. Xiao Luan's superb medical skills are indeed It’s not surprising that I want to keep such an excellent medical doctor by my side!”
The woman pondered for a moment and then asked:
"At this time, where is Lu Lingxuan and what position does she hold?"
"How much do you know about Lu Lingxuan?"
When asked about Lu Lingxuan, Zu Jue's eyes flashed with hesitation, and he was silent for a while before answering:
"When Emperor Wenxuan died, Lu Lingxuan was just a maid in the Changguang Palace, and was the wet nurse of the current Crown Prince Gao Wei. She had no other identity than that.
Oh, by the way, it was Xiao Luan who interceded in front of Emperor Xuan and released Lu Lingxuan from Yeting. At that time, Lu Lingxuan should have been very grateful to Xiao Luan and would often visit Xiao Luan's house, but Xiao Luan never seemed to let him go. She has been to the house and only met her outside the house.
Moreover, Lu Lingxuan was also a very smart woman. When she was young, she was promised by her family to Luo Chao, the general who surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty. Luo Chao was about twenty years older than her and doted on her in every possible way. Later, after the death of Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan, Luo Chao Raising the flag to rebel, trying to seize the country of the Eastern Wei Dynasty..."
Speaking of this, Zu Jue expressed his speculation, "I think Luo Chao's rebellion must also be related to Lu Lingxuan!"
"How can I see it?"
Zu Jue laughed.
"Zu can be considered a person who has lived for most of his life. He has met many heroes and beauties and met countless people. Lu Lingxuan is definitely not a simple woman. She has ambitions in her eyes that are even greater than those of men. When Luo Chao raised his flag, He rebelled just for the sake of his wife. I, Zu Jue, had some friendship with him at the beginning. He lobbied all the generals everywhere. On the surface, he wanted to overthrow the tyranny, but in fact, he wanted to give his little wife a noble status! "
"And Lu Lingxuan is quite capable of bewitching men. I don't know how good Emperor Xiao Zhao is, but the current emperor Gao Zhan is one of them. There are many generals or civil servants in this dynasty who can be called her skirts. Your Majesty!"
At this point, Zu Jue realized that he had unknowingly said so much about Lu Lingxuan's past, and he quickly changed the subject with some guilt: "Haha, it seems that it is too far. In short, this Lu Lingxuan and Xiao Luan is a rare and extremely smart woman in the world. However, Xiao Luan is not greedy for power. Although I don’t know why she came to Northern Qi to serve as an official, she seems to do everything without asking for anything in return. People can’t understand this. What do women want? They come and go alone! They really regard fame and wealth as dirt and are not ordinary people!"
"But Lu Lingxuan is completely opposite to her. She pursues the supreme power. Moreover, when she was friends with Xiao Luan, she seemed to have learned a lot of skills from Xiao Luan. Taking the matter of praying for rain as an example, I'm afraid it is also one of them. One piece..."
Having said this, Zu Jue looked at the three people in the Zen room, especially the man with a sword around his neck. Looking at it made people tremble all over!
"I've said so much, that should be enough, right?" He smiled and quickly explained, "That's all I know!"
The Zen room was silent for a long time, and a sad mood quietly spread in the room.
Until Zu Jue thought they wouldn't say anything more, he heard the woman ask: "So Lu Lingxuan actually deliberately approached Xiao Luan on the pretext of being grateful to repay her kindness, and learned from Xiao Luan and got what she wanted. To achieve her goal of supreme status, right?"
Zu Jue smiled again and said: "Little lady, you are really good at talking. You can sum up everything I want to say in one sentence!"
"Then why did she kill Xiao Luan in return for kindness?"
This sudden question confused Zu Jue!
“I don’t know! Did she kill Xiao Luan?”
"Although I am close to Lu Lingxuan and her son, I just want to use their kind words in the ears of the emperor to realize my ideals in life. As for what she has done now and what she has done in the past, I have no idea, and this woman The city is very deep, so you definitely won’t tell outsiders such secret things, right?”
This is true! With Lu Lingxuan's state of mind, she probably wouldn't trust anyone, so she wouldn't share her past thoughts with anyone.
The meditation room fell into extreme silence again.
Taking advantage of the moment of silence between the three people, Zu Jue had the opportunity to carefully look at the two people who had stolen his "evidence" from unknown sources. A sudden idea flashed in his mind, and he shouted angrily and helplessly: " You sent the fake Princess Lanling to seduce me, and then went to my house to steal it openly, right?"
Not noticing the change in the eyes of the man in front of him, Zu Jue suddenly seemed to understand something. He looked at the two of them in horror and shouted, "Could it be that you... you are King Lanling... and Lan Ling?" princess?"
This surprise was no small matter, and Zu Jue's face instantly turned ashen, with an expression that said his life was at risk!
It’s over! King Lanling is really here to take my life!
After being recognized, Xiao Jinyu and Gao Changgong stopped playing riddles with Zu Jue. They each took off their masks and looked at Zu Jue!
As soon as the mask was lifted, Zu Jue's eyes were stunned by their unparalleled beauty, and his whole heart seemed to light up!
“You two are truly gods and goddesses, with such graceful looks that you could be included in a painting!”
Zu Jue was also a little obsessed with painting. Although he once boasted the mastery of King Changguang with a painting of nectarines riding a dragon to heaven, his favorite painting was still the painting of Luo Shen. Now that he sees Princess Lanling, his heart There is already the shadow of Luo Shen.
"Zuzhongshu, since you have confessed so far and all the evidence has fallen into our hands, you can only be on our side from now on!" Xiao Jinyu said seriously at this time.
A delicate and stunning beauty can actually put on an awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring look.
Zu Jue looked a little confused.
"People on your side, what Princess Lanling means is that if you don't kill me, you want me to be on your side?" He couldn't believe it.
"yes!"
"If you agree, then we will be cooperative allies. As long as you do not commit these things in the future, we will not kill you. If you do not agree, then we will hand over these criminal evidence and the secret letter you wrote to Lord Lu to Emperor Gao Zhan In the hands of the emperor..."
Before Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, Zu Jue was already kowtowing.
"As long as King Lanling doesn't kill me, I'm willing to do whatever you want!"
This reaction made Xiao Jinyu a little stunned. He really didn't know how to evaluate a person like Zu Jue. He was greedy for life and afraid of death. He dared to speak out and scolded the emperor. Gao Zhan almost killed him, saying that he was a capable person. Your Majesty, you have also fully displayed the shameless villain's behavior of stealing, embezzling, and seducing women from good families!
Gao Changgong didn't know what to say, he just kept Xiao Jinyu by his side. "You just said that Lu Lingxuan is very good at bewitching men. Many civil servants and generals in the court fell under her skirt. So, besides He Shikai, Han Changluan and Gao Anahu, who else among these civil servants and generals? "
"How did the princess know that both Han Changluan and Gao Anahu were her guests?"
Zu Jue felt very strange, and at the same time he was a little afraid of King Lanling and his princess. Lu Lingxuan had an extremely powerful intelligence network that collected other people's privacy and information. Could it be that this couple also had such a secret? organize?
Seeing the stern expressions of Prince Lanling and Xiao Jinyu, Zu Jue hurriedly smiled and replied: "That's a lot, Xin Deyuan from Zhongshushe, Xu Zun, the warlock, and..."
Before Zu Jue finished speaking, a phoenix cry suddenly sounded outside the Zen room: "Brother Qing, be careful, there are crossbowmen!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, arrows were shot out of the window. Prince Lanling immediately took Xiao Jinyu into his arms and squatted down. At the same time, the sword in Ling Ye's hand struck in the room. He fired a bolt of lightning and cut off all the arrows.
Zu Jue was so frightened that he quickly found a hidden location to hide. He heard a fierce fight coming from outside the door. It seemed that the boy guarding the door was surrounded by a group of people!
Hearing the sound of fighting, Xiao Jinyu and Prince Lanling also rushed out of the Zen room. They saw several masked men in black surrounding Fenghuang, who was fighting to the death with these people.
Among these men in black, Xiao Jinyu noticed that there was one person with extremely extraordinary skills. He could fight evenly with Phoenix, and there were others attacking from all around. If this continued, Phoenix would definitely be defeated!
So Xiao Jinyu also shot the sleeve arrow from her wrist, repelling the enemies coming from behind for Phoenix!
King Lanling also joined the battle with this group of men in black!
Not long after, Ling Ye, after dealing with the crossbowmen who were ambushing around, turned back and swiped his sword, forcing everyone to retreat.
Some of the domestic slaves brought by Zu Jue seemed to have never seen such a scene, and they were so frightened that they quickly dispersed!
These men in black are not ordinary killers. One of them has been pestering Phoenix until a few of them injured the other men in black and fell to the ground. That person gave Phoenix a fierce look, with a sinister look in his eyes. With a knowing smile, he turned around and ran away!
When the other men in black saw him running away, they all fled too!
Ling Ye stopped one of them to ask about his identity, but without thinking, the man directly put his head on the edge of his sword and wiped his neck without hesitation.
After a fierce fight, Lu Yu ran in with a group of guards, followed closely by some monks!
"Prince, what happened? We seemed to have heard something here just now..."
Lu Yu asked, looking towards the Zen room that was pricked with arrows. At this time, Zu Jue ran out of the Zen room in despair!
“It’s so scary! Who are these people? They actually dare to commit crimes in the solemn place of a Buddhist temple!”
"No, no, I have to go home quickly!"
Zu Jue said and was about to run away, but Xiao Jinyu called out: "Zu Zhongshu, if you go back home now, are you afraid that your life will be in danger on the way?"
"Is someone targeting you?"
Targeting me? Who would send someone to assassinate me?
Zu Jue’s heart skipped a beat: Could it be that they were Lu Lingxuan’s mother and son? Did they find out so quickly that I went to Dazhuangyan Temple to meet Prince Lanling and his wife?
"Let's send Zu Zhongshu back home!"
Xiao Jinyu said something again, and Zu Jue felt another bouquet of fireworks exploding in his heart.
"How dare you bother Prince Lanling and Princess Lanling?"
He said with an awkward smile, and before Prince Lanling and Xiao Jinyu could reply, he hurriedly asked Lu Yu, "Where is Prince Lanling's chariot? Send me back quickly!"
Lu Yu glanced at him with disdain, and sent Zu Jue back to the palace under the hint of Prince Lanling's gaze. After that, they returned to Prince Lanling's mansion. Along the way, Xiao Jinyu found that Fenghuang was extremely silent and seemed to have something on his mind. When he asked him, Phoenix just shook his head and said nothing.
It was not until Haishi that everyone in Prince Lanling's mansion fell asleep. Fenghuang quietly prepared to leave the mansion alone. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the gate of the mansion, he saw Xiao Jinyu and Gao Changgong standing in front of the gate, as if waiting. He arrives.
"Fenghuang, it's so late, where are you going?" Xiao Jinyu asked.
Fenghuang almost burst into tears immediately. As if suppressing the sadness in her heart, she said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, Brother Qing, I have to leave. Although I really miss you, my aunt once said that fate will bring you success." We gather together, but they disperse when fate passes. I think it’s time to leave!”
"Have you thought about where to go?"
Fenghuang shook his head: "The world is so big, you can go anywhere. When I was running around with Brother Qing, I felt that no matter where I was, I could feel at ease and have a family! But now that Brother Qing has a family, there is no need for it anymore. Phoenix..."
"Phoenix!" Xiao Jinyu interrupted him, "If you don't want to implicate us, then give up this idea. I have always regarded you as my family. It was you who protected me in the past and escaped time and time again. of pursuit,
From now on, I can also protect you. Do you remember what I said, if you are in danger again, I will not let you stand in front of me. Your life and mine are equally precious! "
Having said this, Xiao Jinyu walked up to him and asked softly: "Has your identity been discovered?"
Phoenix suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Jinyu in disbelief.
"Brother Qing, do you know my identity?" he asked in surprise with tears in his eyes.
At this time, King Lanling also came over and said: "I have known your identity for a long time. You are the son of Murong Shisu and the grandson of Murong Shaozong. Speaking of which, your grandfather Murong Shaozong is also someone I respect very much." A famous general,
My ancestor Shenwu Emperor and my father also valued him very much. It was he who defeated the judge Hou Jing and assisted my father with all his strength. It is a pity that the northerners are good at riding horses and the southerners are good at messengers. In the boat, Murong Shaozong fell into the trick of King Izheng of the Western Wei Dynasty to flood Yingchuan City, and finally drowned!
It is really a pity that a famous general of a generation ended like this! "
After saying this, King Lanling lowered his eyes, his expression full of awe and regret at the death of the famous general.
Phoenix's eyes were filled with sadness and anger.
After a while, King Lanling continued: "After your grandfather died, your father Murong Shisu still supported my father in proclaiming the emperor on behalf of Wei, and then served under my uncle Emperor Wenxuan. Until the establishment of Qi, your father He was also reused. He was granted the title of Duke of Yan County and was awarded the title of Kaifu Yitong. For a while, he had military power and power over the government and the public.
But after Emperor Xiaozhao succeeded to the throne, someone exposed your father for treason. , and presented the evidence of rebellion to His Majesty,
So Emperor Xiaozhao ordered all the men of the Murong clan to be executed...
You are Murong Jue, the youngest son of Murong Shisu, right? "
