On that day, the government issued a notice in Huai'an.

Zhuang Ming, the founder of the Zhuang Company, openly rebelled, despised the imperial power, destroyed sacred objects, and assassinated King Chen.

After being defeated, he openly resisted the law and killed more than 200 elite Zhennan troops.

Now Zhuang Ming is on the run and his whereabouts are unknown.

The government once again seized Zhuang's Trading Company in Huai'an.

And this time, not only was it seized, but all managers and guards of Zhuang's Trading Company were captured, imprisoned, and punished for the crime of rebelling against thieves.

In the afternoon of that day, before nightfall, the incident had already spread widely, causing an uproar throughout Huai'an!

With business spread throughout the Sixteen Prefectures of Huai'an, Zhuang's Trading Company, which is the most powerful, has the most stable reputation, and has the most prosperous business, is actually a rebel and a traitor with evil intentions?

——

Within Guangfu.

"Master, it's not good."

"What's the etiquette of shouting and screaming? Didn't you see Mr. Lu here? You're so flustered, you've lost your etiquette!"

"Master, Master Lu, there is news from outside that Mr. Thirteen of Zhuang's Trading Company has rebelled!"

"What?"

The two people in the hall suddenly stood up and looked at the visitor with expressions of disbelief.

And among these two people, one of them was Lu He.

He has been traveling in the martial arts world for many years and has a wide network of contacts. He is here today to complete the assignment given by the young master.

Unexpectedly, I just sat down with this friend and heard this shocking news.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

The middle-aged man's face was cold. He knew that Lu He worked for Zhuang's Trading Company, so he was afraid that he would offend him with his words, so he hurriedly scolded him: "Mr. Thirteen of Zhuang's Trading Company is a business man. How can a law-abiding citizen rebel?"

?Are those random rumors, which have not been verified, also reported?"

The servant hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lu He, and then said: "Master Gao of Guangfu personally issued an order to seize the Zhuang's Trading Company in Guangfu, capture a group of people, throw them into prison, and temporarily imprison them for rebellion...

…”

The middle-aged man's tone suddenly stopped and he looked at Lu He quietly.

Lu He's expression changed and he said in a low voice, "What's going on?"

The servant hurriedly responded: "I heard that King Chen had a sacred object that he wanted to offer to the current emperor. For some reason, Mr. Thirteen suddenly destroyed the sacred object and assassinated King Chen. After the defeat, with the help of two masters, he killed thousands of people.

The elite Zhennan Army is heavily encircled... and is currently on the run."

Lu He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and asked again: "Let me ask you again, is the news really true?"

The servant nodded and said, "The government has issued a notice."

Lu He was stunned there, his eyes changing again and again.

His heart was filled with shock and he couldn't believe the news he heard at this moment.

He knew that in the heart of the young master, he was actually arrogant to the world and had no idea of ​​supremacy of royal power. Otherwise, he would not have intercepted and killed the people in the government, plundered the government's property, and planned to harm the king of a different surname.

But he also knew that the young master always acted cautiously and prudently.

Why were you so reckless this time, destroying the sacred objects and assassinating King Chen?

This is a sure thing!

Even if the assassination is successful, so what?

Can it withstand the entire Dongsheng Dynasty’s army next?

No matter how powerful the Zhuang Company is, it is just a trading company attached to the Dongsheng Dynasty. How can it compete with the entire Dongsheng Dynasty?

It stands to reason that with the prince's city, even if King Chen persecutes or even humiliates him, he will never reach this point.

how so?

Unless... Young Master has another plan?

However, even Mr. Gao of Guangfu, who had always accepted countless treasures from Zhuang's Trading Company, has been convicted of rebellion. Now that the matter has come to this, how can there be a way to rescue him?

Lu He opened his mouth, but felt that his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. For a moment, he felt quite confused.

He really couldn't think of any other way to resolve this situation.

"brother……"

The middle-aged man hesitated and said: "The government issued a public notice to convict this person of rebellion. At this point, the matter is irreversible..."

He paused and said: "Whether Zhuang Ming wants to rebel or not, or whether there are any twists and turns in it, but now that the crime has been convicted, it cannot be overturned. Even if he is unparalleled in wisdom and scheming, he will definitely die, and Zhuang's Trading Company, I'm afraid they are about to break up. You might as well listen to your brother's advice and hide first, abandon everything related to Zhuang's Trading Company, and sever all ties, so as not to suffer disaster together and get into trouble..."

Lu He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Young Master has given me the kindness to know and help me in everything, and the two masters of Qianyang and Yinming have given me the kindness to teach, and they are actually my master and disciple..."

Having said this, he looked at the middle-aged man and said: "Brother Yuan, in this life, you must die. In this life, I, Lu He, value kindness and justice. If I just hide away, I will be an ungrateful person. What shame can I have?" , just stay alive?”

Brother Yuan hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak.

The servant hesitated again and said: "Master Lu, there are rumors that the two great masters around Mr. Thirteen were killed by the Zhennan Army to protect Mr. Thirteen from escaping."

Just as Lu He was about to take a step, he suddenly paused and his eyes were complicated.

His mouth moved, as if there was sadness, and suddenly he laughed again and asked: "How are the casualties of the Zhennan Army?"

The man responded: "There are masters under King Chen who participated in the battle. They surrounded the army with more than a thousand Zhennan troops and used Tianji divine crossbows. However, it is said that the number of casualties exceeded 200."

Lu He said with a smile on his lips: "As expected of a martial arts master, even if he faced thousands of troops, he still killed more than a hundred enemies. He is really powerful and powerful, and I can't compare to him."

After finishing speaking, he walked away.

"However, Mr. Lu was not to be outdone, and the number of kills exceeded a hundred!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand without looking back.

His back turned away.

There is no coming back.

"master……"

The servant paused for a moment, stretched out his hand and scratched lightly, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

If Lu He goes here, he will die anyway.

Even so, should we capture Lu He and go to the government in exchange for merit?

Mr. Yuan frowned slightly, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "I saw Lu He today. He is no longer what he was before. He is only one step away from being a grandmaster. Even if we gather all the guards in my villa, we may not be able to keep him."

After he finished speaking, he sighed: "After all, we have been friends for many years, and I am not too poor to fight for life or death with him for some rewards."

——

Huaibei Anzhuang.

On the high seat, there was a young man, about thirty years old, with noble temperament and gorgeous clothes.

He was sitting lazily, his right hand gently turning a jade ring on his left thumb.

And his eyes were looking at a middle-aged man below.

"Yueyang, one of the guard commanders under Zhuang's Trading Company."

The young man picked a grape, put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, and continued: "You hide your identity and don't want to tell it. Do you think I can't find out your identity? This secret village in Huaibei is all mine. It is not difficult for the king’s ears and eyes to check your identity.”

There is a person standing below, standing upright, with a face of about forty years old, and a steady brow. It is clearly Yueyang who was originally supposed to go to the capital.

But the nobleman who was originally in the capital came to Huaibei.

Yueyang then turned back to Huaibei.

It was not until yesterday that I was able to see the honor.

And today, the seventh prince's identity was verified.

Yue Yang was not surprised.

The business of the dark manor is diverse, all in dark places, and there are many strange people and strangers. It is not difficult to find out his identity.

"My young master, I have long said that there must be a big shot behind the Huaibei Secret Manor, and it turns out to be the Seventh Prince."

Yue Yang's expression was as usual, neither humble nor arrogant. He raised his hands and saluted, saying: "After all, the matter is very important. Yue may reveal his identity and bring disaster to Zhuang's business in the future. I hope the Seventh Prince will forgive me."

The seventh prince looked at the many papers next to him, which were full of words. He immediately looked away and said calmly: "You have sent me the evidence of Prince Chen's crime, but you don't dare to come forward. Do you want me to be a knife for you?"

After he finished speaking, he sneered, with a look of disdain on his face, and said: "You killed the most trusted advisor under my command, and you still want me to do things for you?"

Yue Yang said: "You are not doing things for us, but you are doing things for yourself."

The seventh prince raised his eyebrows.

Yue Yang said again: "King Chen supports the Crown Prince of the East Palace, and you are trying to seize the throne. He is a stubborn stone on your way to the throne. Wouldn't you be willing to overthrow him? Song Tianyuan is dead, and you will fight for a dead man.

, just ignore the next big thing?"
