It is not difficult to guess who Xiao Zuo wants to invite.As for the blue jade they were talking about, he was a founding general even more famous than his father Guo Xing.But now Lan Yu is a great general, prince and grand master, and Liang Guogong, so why can he be shaken?

Perhaps, the founding heroes have been unable to escape death since ancient times, because of their great achievements and great reputations.Back then, General Chang Yuchun led Lan Yu and his father Guo Xing to attack Jinzhou and defeated Yuan Jiang Wenqing and the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, what a pleasure it was.

At that time, they overthrew the tyranny and gave the people a piece of blue sky only for the ideals in their hearts... Now, the world has returned to their hearts and the court has been stabilized, but they have to face intrigues and deceptions, and people's hearts are hard to control...

Although I have no personal experience, many things happened naked in front of my eyes. How can people not sigh that the world is in turmoil and fame is illusory.Perhaps, Liu Ruojin's choice was right; self-cultivation and respect, Tibetan name Qingxiu will also be my home...

Wang Pu bid farewell to Xiao Zuo, I followed the trend and entered through the window, Xiao Zuo was startled, and gradually his face showed joy, "I only heard magpies singing at night, but I don't know that elder brother has passed by."

I looked at him and smiled, "I never thought that I would meet you here, but I just heard Wang Pu mentioning you by chance, and it followed."

"Oh? Brother Guo is really outstanding in martial arts. You must have heard the conversation I had with Wang Pu just now, right?" Xiao Zuo said in surprise again.

"Yes." I said.

"Lan Yu, duke of Liang State, I think elder brother knows him, what do you think about this matter?" Xiao Zuo said.

"Lanyu has a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and is a pillar of the country if he is brave and resourceful. It's just that he doesn't know how to restrain himself." I said.

"Brother Guo only sums it up in two words, which is a bit rash." Xiao Zuo said.

I smiled slightly, sat on the armchair in the guest room, took a sip of tea, "Your ruler wants your ministers to die, and your ministers have to die. If you have no intentions, even if there are rumors, what is the use?"

Xiao Zuo looked at me with a disappointed expression. He picked up the jug and two cups on the long table, slowly came to my side, and sat down. "The crown prince is dead, and the crown prince is young. Now, The fundamental ministers who were by the crown prince's side fell one after another, even if the crown prince's grandson Zhu Yunqi succeeds to the throne, how many useful people can be left..."

"My dear brother, there are some things that you cannot control. The key lies in the human heart. You are so young and promising, but you frown all day long. Do you know why?" I picked up the flagon and poured the wine.

"I don't know... I just feel that the court is ruthless, and there are many injustices." Xiao Zuo said.

"It was like this when I first met you, and you are also like this today. You are too obsessed and hold a position. How can you calm down?" I picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Xiao Zuo.

"When we first met, my younger brother was not only worried about Su Haitang. He was worried about the dying crown prince. At that time, he only sighed about his talents and had nowhere to display them..." Xiao Zuo took the wine glass and drank it down. road.

"Everything can be done, and there is nothing to do. Since my virtuous brother has a great trust in me, I should do my best to help you." I picked up the wine glass, put it to my mouth, and said with my eyes blurred.

"Brother, how many generals are there in this huge court? The Duke of E, Chang Yuchun, died of a sudden illness; the Duke of Wei, Deng Yu, died of illness; Hou Moying of Xiping, hearing of the death of the crown prince, vomited blood and died; the Duke of Korea, Li Shanchang Wang Guangyang, the Zhongqin Bo, was punished; Liu Ji, the Sincerity Bo, was poisoned to death; Liao Yongzhong, Marquis of Deqing, was given to death; and your father Guo Xing, the Duke of Shan, was pursued after his death. Now , the rest are all cautious, most of them have handed over their military power, and just want to live in peace..." Xiao Zuo became a little excited, trembling again and again.

"Brother, you can escape the swords and guns on the battlefield, but you can't escape the power struggle in the court. The dead are gone, so it's useless to mention them." I said powerlessly.

"Poor emperor Zhu Yunwen, at the age of 15, how can he know how to maintain his father's foundation? If Lan Yu falls again, the first-class military generals and capable ministers who followed the crown prince Zhu Biao will almost be slaughtered. If he can ascend to the throne smoothly, how can he compete with King Yan? After all, under the turbulent current, King Yan's power has already overwhelmed everyone." Xiao Zuo drank several cups of wine in succession, and said in a dazed manner.

"I can help you find Su Haitang... Brother, there may be some things, there is God's will in the dark..." I took the flagon in his hand and wanted to comfort him, but I hesitated again because I knew , anything until the end, there are still variables.Maybe, Xiao Zuo can really turn the tide by relying on the strength around him.

Xiao looked at me on the left side of his face, put away a little sadness, and said, "Brother, do you know that I'm looking for Su Haitang?"

I put my hand on his shoulder and said slowly: "Yes, now, besides Su Haitang, who else can you look for? I have seen the woman Su Haitang called her mother in the Mieyingmen, presumably She can help you."

"Indeed, the origin of that woman is extremely mysterious, and she must have some relationship with the current Holy Majesty, but I don't know the exact relationship. I only know that Mieyingmen can stand in Yingtian Mansion because of her." Xiao Zuo thought about it.

I took out from my bosom the wooden crabapple flower that was given to me when I parted.I also thought of her expression when we parted from me, and I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. For a moment, I didn't know whether I should give it to Xiao Zuo...

After thinking about it for a long time, I said, "I'll go see Lan Yu, and I'll look for Su Haitang for you too. You just continue to order your Jin Yiwei to collect evidence."

"Are you going to see Lan Yu? He has already been imprisoned, and there are heavy guards in the prison, how can you see him?" Xiao Zuo said in a daze.

"As long as there are places where people come and go, I can go in. Don't you change the defense in the prison? Is there no food delivery person in the prison? Brother, don't worry, I have my own way." I was expressionless, just looking at the room. the floor, said slowly.

Because I know that entering the prison, for me, couldn't be easier.Just after entering, so what?Jailbreak?Even if the prison is robbed, if Lan Yu loses the power in his hands, what is the difference between death and death?Still can't help the young emperor grandson.This time, entering the prison is nothing more than simple greetings, asking for details related to the case...

"Okay, according to what elder brother said, we will work separately." Xiao Zuo said without any doubts.

"However, before that, there is one more thing that you want Brother Xian to do immediately?" I said.

"What's the matter? Brother, please speak up." Xiao Zuo said.

"My daughter Liu Yunjin is still at the home of your subordinate Wang Pu. You just order him to go home and take good care of her, and then tell his parents to take good care of her so that nothing will be lost." I said in a slightly serious tone.

"Why is Yunjin in his house...Okay, big brother. I just do what I want, I'll go find Wang Pu right now." After saying that, Xiao Zuo walked out the door...

....................................

The prison is located in the deepest part of Fusi, Yingtianfu Town, guarded by the Jinyi Guards, and the Jinyiqi School is in charge of guarding it. It is airtight inside and out.In the prison, all the detainees were condemned by the emperor himself, and Lan Yu was imprisoned here.

It is not difficult to see that the guards here are all masters who have been selected from thousands of people. They walk vigorously and have a tall and straight figure. The knife on their waist is even more chilling.In this case, I can only wait for the time to switch defenses.But is the time for changing defenses and prison checks the same?If they are inconsistent, they can enter the prison gate but not the inner prison, so what should they do?

This is the end of the matter, and I can't control so much. It's nothing to be found out, but I'm worried that I will be implicated in Lan Yu again. .

Eager to see Sapphire, I hid in the corner and looked extremely anxious. It was not until midnight that the guards outside the prison changed their defenses. I jumped in and clung to the prison roof like a black shadow, continuing to wait With the opening of the prison gate, if you are unlucky and there will be no inspections in the inner prison, then if you want to enter, you can only find a way by yourself.

I knew that I couldn't delay any longer, so I landed softly, condensed the true energy of the fire, opened the iron lock, and entered the inner prison. This is a long and deep passage, and the prison rooms on both sides of the road are full of prisoners. Most of the prisoners were in deep sleep, so it was impossible to tell which one was Sapphire...

At this moment, the person inspecting the inner prison listlessly walked out of the guard's room, looked at the iron lock that had been opened, hesitated for a while, looked around, and entered the inner prison without any expression.Maybe it's because I just melted the bayonet of the lock cylinder a little softer with Yuhuo Zhenqi, which is enough to open the iron lock without causing damage to the iron lock itself, so he didn't care so much.It is also possible that he thinks that he himself forgot to lock it and was negligent...

He was sleepy and walked slowly, completely ignoring me who was climbing to the top of the prison again.He walked along the prison passage for a while, stopped beside a cell, and said, "Duke, haven't you slept peacefully yet?"

"Hey, duke, in today's world, let's take it easy, maybe a new imperial decree will arrive tomorrow."

The people in the prison cell have not said anything, but from the mouth of the patrolling prisoner, it can be known that this person is undoubtedly the Duke of the state.At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were many courtiers with outstanding meritorious service who were canonized as dukes of the state, but it was still not certain that he was Lan Yu.

"Duke, drink some water. The villain has always admired the reputation of the duke. You are an invincible general, like a general. If you want to bring something for your family or cronies, just tell the villain."

"Haha, the invincible general... Isn't he completely defeated now?"

"The Duke's words are wrong..."

"Needless to say, I know that my time is approaching, please leave."

"Hey, Duke, please take care, the villain left first."

After the prison patrol bid farewell to the prisoner, he didn't go any further, but turned around and walked back, as if he came to see the Duke.

As the prison guards drifted away, I fell down, condensed my energy to resist the fire, opened the door of the cell, and walked in swaggeringly...

"Didn't I let you go?" the Duke in prison said sharply.

"I just came here, why did I have to leave?" I sat on the grass mat, with one leg arched and my left hand on my knee, smiling.

"You... who are you?" The Duke was startled, hesitated for a while, and said.

"Then, who are you?" Liang Guogong Lanyu, I met him when I was a child, but it's really hard to recognize this disheveled, lifeless person. Is he the one I'm looking for? of sapphire.

"This old man is Liang Guogong Lan Yu. You are the person Jiang Yu sent to kill me, right? Haha, if you want to commit a crime, why not worry about it? If you can't find any evidence, come and kill this old man. There will be no proof, right?" Lan Yu , said angrily.

Seeing his upright expression, he is no different from the Lan Yu I know, this person should be Lan Yu, "Uncle, I am Mingxuan, the second son of Guo Xing, and I am here today at the behest of Xiao Zuo, Came here to inquire about the details of your case."

"Guo Mingxuan, the second son of Duke Shan Guo Xing? Are you still alive?" Lan Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes, not only alive, but also very well." I said.

"Okay, okay, you really have a bit of your father in your expression." Lan Yu said.

"Uncle, how can I help you?" I said.

"You can't help me. Now, the boss is suspicious of me. If you don't kill me, you won't feel at ease." Lan Yu shook her head continuously and sighed.

"Then do you have any intention of treason?" I asked doubtfully.

"Haha, would you believe me if I said no?"

"I am in charge of the military power in the world, and I have a high prestige in the army, and there are many soldiers under my command who are accustomed to fighting; the crown prince Zhu Biao has just passed away, and the emperor's grandson Yunwen is still young; Jingning Marquis Ye Sheng is my in-law. Being killed by the emperor, I have no reason not to rebel, isn't there?" Lan Yu laughed at herself one after another.

"I don't think my uncle has the intention to rebel. If he really did, why bother to return to this Yingtian mansion, wouldn't it be better to directly occupy one side?" I said.

"Haha, even you understand the truth, how can the Holy One not know? He wants to kill me, but he just wants to take back the military power in my hands. But the court said that I am arrogant, arrogant, and conniving. , Speaking arrogantly to the Holy Majesty, dismissing and promoting officers without authorization, which one of these can prove that I have rebelled?" Sapphire said emotionally.

"Brother Xiao Zuo also knows that you have been wronged. I am afraid that if you die, no one can contend with Zhu Di. Even if the grandson Zhu Yunwen inherits the throne, he will be in danger." I said slowly.

"When the crown prince Zhu Biao was still around, I had a good relationship with him. In the current situation, I am also powerless. My lord, I only care about the momentary gains and losses, and I don't care about what will happen after the emperor's grandson succeeds to the throne! , how can they tolerate people who threaten them? Hey...the cunning rabbit is dead and running...it's all like this...it's all like this..." Sapphire wailed.

"If someone sends a message to the saint, and you voluntarily surrender your military power and return to your hometown, is there still a chance of life?" I hesitated.

"When the sage kills me, he certainly won't kill me alone. I'm just a leader. Presumably he wants to kill far more people than me. The so-called knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, he wants to destroy the entire forest." Sapphire road.

"Then... what should I do... Uncle, if you didn't deceive Ming Xuan in any way, you are really a victim of power, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the world... How can Da Ming stabilize people's hearts?" I asked in frustration.

"So, they want to add the crimes that I deserve. Even if there are no such crimes, what can the king let his ministers die? Hey, it's only because I wake up too late. If I hand over the military power early, I won't come out That’s definitely not going to happen.”

"Mingxuan boy, I am very pleased to see you today. My life has been considered vigorous and majestic, and I have also realized my childhood dream. What is the bleakness now? People are mortal, even your father died. Being charged with additional crimes... Haha, thinking about life, it's just like this, but it's just like this..." Sapphire said with a relieved smile.

"Uncle, Mingxuan will try his best to save you, no matter what it is for, Mingxuan will not fight for any rights, but only for a clear heart."

"Son, this is wrong. Right and wrong, who can tell clearly in the end, but it's just a matter of divergent opinions and idle time...Son, don't mind..."

After hearing Sapphire's words, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. In life, most of them are pawns, at the mercy of others. If there is any deviation, the reputation will be ruined and all the glory will be taken away.

So, who is in charge of all this?Who is the one who wins everything in the end?Could it be the current Holy Majesty?I don't think so...
