Chapter 52 The good news is that King Wu is not soluble in water, the bad news is that he is stupid
The good news is that no one tried to kill him last night. The bad news is that he seemed to have gone to King Wu.
King Wu almost drowned. When Lu Xingshi heard the news, he wanted to ask you, are the princes and vassal kings of the Song Dynasty so soluble in water?
The King of Liao slipped and fell into the water, and you, the King of Wu, also stumbled and fell into the water. It would be too disrespectful to take the people of the world seriously.
Fortunately, he was discovered by the guards in time, and the assassin left without continuing to attack.
So this is divided into two pieces of news. The good news is that King Wu is not dead. The bad news is that King Wu seems to have a brain problem due to lack of oxygen for too long.
What follows is a mess, with all parties in a mess, and there is also a problem in Prince Wu's Mansion.
The assassin seemed to have achieved a certain goal and did not carry out a second assassination.
Then, the imperial army entered Jiangnan and easily regained control of Jiangnan.
The King of Wu and his family were not massacred or imprisoned. On the contrary, they still maintained their original level. Especially after King Wu was stupid, there was no threat at all.
The next step is to send all King Wu's family back to Kyoto.
After all, he was the emperor's son, so it was really impossible for him to go too far.
As for Lu Xingshi, he was recruited. Not only him, but all the senior officials under King Wu were also recruited.
Naturally, Lu Xingshi did not accept it and left directly. The agreement between the emperor and his master was to help King Wu enter the capital. Although it failed, King Wu also entered the capital in the end, and there was no way to save himself.
If King Wu had not been stupid, Lu Xingshi could have followed him to Kyoto to help. Unfortunately, his brain was damaged, and Da Song's medical development could not cure him at all.
Fortunately, King Wu is the prince and vassal king, so he doesn't have to worry about food and drink even if he is stupid.
"After all this hard work, nothing has changed." Lu Xingshi complained about Da Song's situation.
"Speaking of which, why can't I wear Kunlun?" Murong Xuan asked a little aggrievedly. He is obviously the master of Langya Pavilion. Why can't Lu Xingshi use it but he can't? Although Beiming rejects it, at least because of his bloodline He could barely wear it, but Kunlun didn't give him any face.
"Not only can you not wear it on Kunlun, but now you can't even wear it on Beiming." Lu Xingshi gave Murong Xuan another heart-piercing knife.
After staying in Lu Xingshi's hands for a long time, these two magic weapons have completely transformed into Lu Xingshi's shape, which is equivalent to recognizing their master.
If you want to take it away, you can only do it unless you are better than him in "Kunpeng Devours the World" and "Immortality" and have an internal power that far exceeds that of Lu Xingshi.
Murong Xuan opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
The two of them left Jiangnan at this time and were preparing to return to Langya Pavilion. This time they went back with the intention of moving to Langya Pavilion.
Although Lu Xingshi helped the King of Wu and was recruited, if someone did not respect martial ethics and wanted to take revenge on Langya Pavilion, such as burning it with a fire, wouldn't it be a disaster?
So moving to a more private place can make you feel more at ease.
They were riding horses and chatting casually on the official road, when a figure gradually appeared in the distance.
It looked like he was waiting for someone. Lu Xingshi had good eyesight and could tell at a glance that the other person was a scholar. He was wearing a Confucian scholar's robe, with a sword on his waist and a fan in his hand.
When you get closer and take a closer look, you can see that he looks very upright and well-dressed. When you meet him, he gives the impression that he is a humble gentleman, and you have a good impression of him. "You two, please stay." The scholar stood in front of Lu Xingshi and the other two, and said, "I don't know, these two are Mr. Murong, the scholar of Yunzhang, and General Lu, the Cavalry Commander."
Lu Xingshi and Murong Xuan understood at the same time that this scholar was from the imperial court.
People in the world looked for them and called them Star Pickers and Golden Crow Divine Generals.
Only people from the imperial court would call them by their official positions. Even though Lu Xingshi and Murong Xuan had resigned, they were self-living but not expelled. Naturally, they kept their previous titles. This was regarded as some unspoken rules in the officialdom.
"Scholar Yunzhang dare not address him, but if there is no second pair of masters and disciples, then you have found the wrong person." Murong Xuan responded.
In this situation, it was not appropriate for Lu Xingshi to speak. After all, with his master here, there was no need for him, a disciple, to speak.
Murong Xuan is much more experienced than him.
"Then you have found the wrong person." The scholar opened his fan with a snap, revealing a landscape painting on it.
His painting skills are very good, but what makes Murong Xuan more concerned is the red seal printed on the painting. The seal only has four words, Cai Qiuhe Seal.
"Xiang Cai, are you your mentor?" Murong Xuan asked directly.
The seal of the other party is the personal seal of Cai Qiuhe, the prime minister of Dasong Dynasty. Those who can obtain this private seal must be the disciples or confidants of the other party. Disciples are not eligible.
However, Murong Xuan didn't have much impression of this young man. It stands to reason that he also knew who Cai Qiuhe's subordinates were, unless this person was hidden.
"Mr. Murong is really very discerning, and his tutor is Prime Minister Cai." The scholar did not deny it.
In the eyes of Murong Xuan, Cai Qiuhe is a complicated person. First of all, he is very capable. He set up a consultation department, implemented market changes, changed the monopoly system of salt and tea, reformed the currency system, improved the market system, etc. Today, Dasong He has inseparable credit for its development.
But at the same time, the other side excluded dissidents, monopolized power, emptied out the emperor, and vigorously suppressed military attachés. In terms of military and political affairs, they continued to make various mistakes for the benefit of the civilized group, and even aggravated internal and external troubles within Dasong.
The matter of cutting off wages in Saibei is inextricably related to Prime Minister Cai. Even if the other party did not directly carry out it, it was still under indirect control.
Most of this salary fell into the hands of Prime Minister Cai.
"Then why are you looking for me?" Murong Xuan knew that if he came to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, the other party would definitely ask for something when he came to him.
"Mr. Murong was assassinated before. I heard that I got a clue from the assassin. This thief was even more daring to attack the King of Wu. I also asked you to give me your help so that the court can hunt down the thief who assassinated the King of Wu." The scholar said generously. out.
Murong Xuan's face suddenly darkened, "You're just trying to catch the thief. Only he and Lu Xingshi know about that piece of cloth. They definitely haven't leaked it to anyone. How could outsiders know about it?"
"I thought you were well-dressed before, but I didn't expect that you were so beautiful on the outside but covered in gold..." Lu Xingshi cursed.
"Please hand it over to Mr. Murong. If he is misunderstood by the court as an accomplice of the assassin, Mr. Murong must be extremely troubled." The scholar did not care about Lu Xingshi's words at all, but looked confident.
"It's okay, no one will know if you die." Lu Xingshi immediately got off his horse, intending to teach this pretty boy a lesson.
Murong Xuan did not stop him because he felt that Lu Xingshi was right.
