Chapter 004 The Neighbor of the Mother-in-law
If news spread that the emperor was seriously ill, the Jin Palace would naturally be surrounded by them who came after hearing the news. Then Lu Zhan would have no chance of survival. It was really urgent for the princess to urge him to come to Beijing.
However, if these people tonight are sent by the princes who want to seize the throne, they obviously already know that the emperor is seriously ill. Then the finger should be pointed at King Jin first. After all, this dynasty has not passed the throne directly to the emperor.
Sun's precedent.
As an imperial grandson who was demoted to a commoner, he is not that big of a threat at the moment.
If it weren't for them, and what Zhou Yi said was true, then it would only be his brothers in Prince Jin's Mansion!
Princess Jin had only one daughter, and all the children in the palace were concubines, including Lu Zhan, but because he was adopted by the princess from birth and became his legitimate son, the emperor appointed him to inherit the title of eldest son.
Thousands of favors gathered into one body may not necessarily bring about good things, such as the assassinations that have been encountered one after another in recent years.
But since his opponents were willing to ambush and assassinate him here, why didn't they attack him in Tanzhou?
Or...have they already taken action?
He was heartbroken when he thought that there were still children and his two children in Tanzhou. Since he was in danger here, what about them?!
Lu Zhan rolled his throat violently.
Looking at the two sides who were already fighting, he gritted his teeth and said: "Send a few people back to Tanzhou to pick up Madam and Che'er! The rest of the people will follow me. No matter which way, they must break out first!
"
"yes!"
Zhou Yi wiped the rain off his face and sent a few men to kill from the weak attack path.
Lu Zhan also raised his sword, jumped up from his horse and rushed into the formation.
Of course, Zhou Yi's words cannot be fully believed, but if what he said is true, then there will be countless opportunities for Zhou Yi to do something in this day, and even just defrauding him of the crime of leaving the forbidden area in violation of the order is enough.
At the moment, he can only choose to fight with his last resort.
"——Master, be careful!"
Lu Zhan was in the midst of a bloody battle when Zhou Yi, who had been keeping two steps away from him, suddenly shouted!
He quickly turned around and saw a cold sword piercing him from the darkness!
Zhou Yi moved with the sound and rushed towards him.
Because Lu Zhan was wary, he quickly avoided it, and the sword stabbed Zhou Yi through the chest on the spot!...
"Zhou Yi!"
Lu Zhan's limbs were cold and he caught him.
Zhou Yi opened his eyes wide and held his wrist tightly: "Don't be sad, this is what I should do. If the princess knew that the young master did not blindly believe in her, she would only feel relieved..."
Lu Zhan's hands were trembling.
"She will be happy to see that the young master has not been emotional. Princess, the only hope of the princess is that the young master can protect yourself. But princess, the princess is worthy of the young master's trust as he trusts his biological mother. When you return to the capital, she will still have
, I have something important to tell you..."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he swallowed hard, raised his hand, gathered his last breath of strength, and threw the long sword at the enemy behind Lu Zhan!
"Zhou Yi!"
Lu Zhan screamed his name, but he finally collapsed in his arms.
Tears mixed with the rain flowed down, and Lu Zhan's fists were clenched until they turned white.
"Sir! Get out quickly!..."
The voices of the guards began to come one after another. Lu Zhan put down Zhou Yi and stood up. He gritted his teeth and looked around. He saw that most of the twelve remaining guards had fallen down.
Countless heads have appeared on all sides of the darkness, and the bows and arrows in their hands are emitting cold light under the lightning. If you want to get out of this formation, it is just a good hope...
But in his belief, there has never been such a word as surrender without a fight!
He stood facing the heavy rain holding his sword, and after a moment he flew into the arrow gap like an eagle...
…
Lu Zhan was pampered and loved growing up. When he was playing with his subordinates as a child, he heard the saying "Heaven's family is ruthless" from their mouths.
But as a young man, he didn't believe it. No matter how much evidence was given in the classics, indicating that the royal family from ancient times to the present rarely had true feelings, he was still convinced that the Lu family and the dynasty established by their Taizu were different.
.
They have noble interests, ideals, and noble moral character. They are a loving and righteous royal family, and there will never be any disputes over interests.
The imperial grandfather smiled after hearing this.
This determination began to waver when he toasted his imperial grandfather on the night of his wedding, and later it was found that there was croton in the wine. There happened to be something wrong with his horse during those days, so he fed it some croton powder, which he had on hand.
There's just some left.
But how could croton powder get into the wine? And it was the emperor's wine - you know, croton powder is not poisonous and cannot be detected with physical instruments, so the eunuch did not detect it.
Finally, someone discovered the scene where his attendant committed suicide out of fear of crime.
When he came back half a year later and found out the truth, his face began to get slapped. There really aren't that many trustworthy people in this world, even your own brothers.
So when Leng Jian came out, he had indeed doubted Zhou Yi. There were so many doubts and they were so obvious. If he didn't doubt who did he doubt?
But Zhou Yi, who was doubted by him one moment, blocked his sword for him the next moment and died!
Lu Zhan still remembers the pain of being shot by countless arrows in the body and even in the head. It was no kind of pain that he had ever endured in his life.
Until another wave of coolness came over his body. Although this cool feeling was not pleasant, it gradually repelled the pain of the arrow wound and made his body gradually relax, allowing him to breathe steadily.
...The clear sky is in front of your eyes, and the smell of mud is in your nose.
His eyes remained still for a moment, then he suddenly turned his head.
"woke up?"
Tieniu poured several buckets of water, and gradually saw his eyebrows moving. After pouring a few more buckets of water, he stepped on the edge of the bucket, leaning on his upper body and looking down at him.
Lu Zhan shuddered and quickly sat up on the still cool March day! But the pain in his waist and ribs made him fall down with a hiss.
"Don't pretend, there's no point in pretending!"
Tieniu's eyes were full of contempt, and he looked at him with squinted eyes.
Lu Zhan didn't care about his attitude, he was focused on the environment.
This was not the mountain pass where he was attacked. There were no traces of fighting anywhere, and the season was wrong. This was clearly early spring, and it was summer when it was raining heavily when he was attacked!
When his eyes turned back to Tieniu, he was heartbroken again. Practicing martial arts at a young age made him smarter and sharper than ordinary people. People who have dealt with him can't say too much that he never forgets them. But the person in front of him... this is
He remembers his mother-in-law’s neighbor’s surname as Cheng Tieniu!
Why is he here?! And why does Cheng Tieniu look like he doesn't recognize him?
His deceased father-in-law was a respected scholar. After his wife married him, the Tieniu often brought him some local products to the palace.
He had met Cheng Tieniu at the door several times and was blocked by the concierge, and the other party had also saluted him. How could he not recognize him now?
Lu Zhan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, then sat up.
Looking around, I saw fields and mountains. Where the grass sprouted, there were occasionally a few peach blossoms blooming here and there.
