In the dead of night, the gate of Luoshi City was brightly lit, and for a moment the flames shot into the sky, as bright as day.

Li Ziyi stood in the center, and soldiers quickly surrounded her, like iron barrels.

"Lu Guo's work?" Li Ziyi looked at Qi Lu who came out, his eyes moved slightly, and he quickly regained his composure. With a calm look on his face, he smiled and said, "Master Qi, what are you talking about? Yi couldn't understand it. Ziyi is from the Li country, how could he become a fine craftsman from the Lu country?"

Qi Lu came over calmly and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid, I'm talking about you, you are a craftsman from the state of Lu."

Li Ziyi smiled and said: "Mr. Qi, Ziyi really doesn't understand what you are saying. Ziyi is the young master of Li State. Yin Ziyi can testify. He also helped the emperor and Taifu Qi to crack down on the case a few days ago. If Ziyi is really a master of Lu, how can he arrest his own people? This doesn't make sense."

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Nalu dare to ask Mr. Li, in the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, you stole Da Sima's talisman, where are you going?"

Li Ziyi's face was slightly stiff, and she just pretended to be dumbfounded and said: "This... this Talisman of Da Sima? Ziyi didn't know that this Talisman... was picked up by Ziyi on the road, and it wasn't just anyone. I dropped it on the ground and am trying to return it to its original owner."

Qi Lu ignored his lame excuses and walked slowly with his hands behind his back. He was naturally gentle and handsome by nature, and the way he walked slowly like this made him look like a worldly expert, very unfathomable and unattainable. .

Qi Lu took his time and said calmly: "If Lu dares to ask Mr. Li again, if you are Mr. Li, why did you have to rush that night after Lu told you that the Li delegation was about to enter Luoshi?" He secretly left Luoshi. Young Master Li, if you have no evil intentions in your heart, how about running away?"

Every time he said a word, Li Ziyi's face became darker. At this time, it was already "heavy" with a layer of sinisterness, which was completely inconsistent with his usual little white rabbit-like temperament. The surliness and haze were intertwined, and he squinted. His eyes were like sharp knives, staring closely at Qi Lu.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Qi Lu raised his hand and dusted his robe and said, "Master Li, let's call you this for now. After all, although Lu knows that you are from the Lu family, he doesn't know what your name is. ."

Qi Lu said this, but Li Ziyi did not refute again. It seemed that he knew that his excuse was poor and had been caught by Qi Lu on the spot. It was useless to refute again.

Compared with Li Ziyi's gloom and depression, Qi Lu's expression was very bright. He smiled and said: "Master Li, there is something I want to confess to you. In fact... there is no envoy from the Li Kingdom coming to Luo Master. I wish you the best." General Dan did go to support the Li State, but he was not completely victorious. Naturally, there were no envoys from the Li State to come to Luo Division."

"You..." Li Ziyi's voice was low and she said, "So you lied to me."

Qi Lu nodded and said sincerely: "You are right, I lied to you."

Not only did Li Ziyi not feel happy at the fact that Qi Lu was so frank, but his eyes became even more gloomy, as if filled with murderous intent, and he stared at Qi Lu insidiously.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Lv just put a straight hook, but I didn't expect that such a fat fish would take the bait on its own. It really fulfilled the saying - those who wish will take the bait."

Li Ziyi's face became even more gloomy, and Qi Lu suddenly turned into a person who didn't know how to judge faces, and continued: "Actually, when it comes to why Lu thinks that Mr. Li, you are the master of Lu State, we have to start with Duke Zhou."

On that day, Zhou Gong Heijian and Guo Gong Ji's father suddenly came to Lu's palace and interrupted the emperor's good deeds. The two said they had something urgent to report, which was Lu Guo's job.

Because the confessions of those dead soldiers of Lu State were a little too easy, Heijian felt that there was something fishy in them, so he went to interrogate them personally. As expected, the results of the interrogation made Heijian secretly surprised.

It turns out that among the Luo Division, there was actually a Lu State commander. These dead men infiltrated the Luo Division, firstly to show authority to the emperor, and secondly, they came here for the Lu State Commander.

The dead men of Lu State are here to capture this Lu State expert.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Master Li, are you also dizzy? Yes, Lu was also dizzy at first and didn't know what it was all about, but later he understood."

If Li Ziyi is a craftsman of the Lu State, then the most unreasonable point is, why should he betray the dead men of the Lu State? The method of using marriage to attract the dead men of the Lu State was Li Ziyi's idea. As people of the same country, they

Why are we fighting each other? Is there any benefit?

Qi Lu couldn't figure this out until the dead men of Lu State confessed. The reason was simple, because the dead men of Lu State and Xi Zuo were not from the same faction.

Just like the royal officials have the Yin family and the Wu family, the Zheng State has the public family and the Qing family, the Song State has the Gongzi Party and the Yi Party, although the Lu State is located in the north and is a member of Chidi, they also have their own

Partisanship.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Lü inquired about it and heard that the Lu family is divided into two parties. One of them is the party headed by the prince, and the other is the party headed by the young master."

There was also internal strife in Lu State. The prince was originally the legitimate heir to the country. If the monarch passed away, needless to say, it would be the crown prince who would be the most legitimate successor. However, some "accidents" happened in Lu State.

Lu State is a Red Di people in the north, and it is also the most powerful country among the Red Di. They are rooted in the territory of Jin. Although these Red Di, Chang Di, Bai Di, etc. are not willing to accept the discipline of Emperor Zhou, there are many

Foreigners also used the culture of the Zhou people as fashion. If they wanted to develop, they studied the culture of the Zhou people and learned a decent set of etiquette. However, the Lu people still believed in the law of the jungle.

Therefore, after the death of the king of Lu State, the prince rebelled and usurped the crown prince's position as king. The king of Lu State who is now in office is the prince of Lu State. But don't misunderstand, this prince of Lu State is not the brother of the prince, but the brother of the prince.

The prince's uncle, because he is also the son of the monarch, can also be called the prince.

The prince's uncle rebelled and usurped the throne of the prince of Lu State. The prince fled overnight and left Lu State without knowing his whereabouts. After this uncle came to the throne, he became very bellicose and broke the peace between Lu State and Zhou Dynasty over the years.

Because of their relationship, they began to attack the nearest Li country, and continued to harass the Jin country.

The Jin State was afraid of trouble, so they reached an agreement with the Lu State and invaded the Li State together, resulting in the current situation.

Qi Lu smiled faintly, looked at Li Ziyi, and said, "Am I right, Prince of Lu State?"

Li Ziyi squinted his eyes, but still didn't speak. Qi Lu didn't mind singing a one-man show by himself, and said: "Although the prince of Lu State missed the position of king, he is completely unwilling to accept it. After escaping from Lu State, he plans to bring in reinforcements to come back.

And the current king of Lu State is also afraid that the prince will come back and snatch the throne from him, so he sent many dead soldiers to hunt down the prince."

As if telling a story, Qi Lu said in a lively and decent manner: "Ah, this Prince of Lu State is so smart, and he has learned some of the culture of our Zhou people since he was a child, and he speaks the language of the Zhou people fluently.

After he escaped from Lu State, he disguised himself as a Zhou person, but no one noticed him. Do you think he is powerful? It happened that at this time, Li State was invaded by Lu State, and the ice-snow and clever Prince of Lu State came up with a fishy trick.

He used a good trick to disguise himself as a pitiful young master of the Li Kingdom, sneaked into the Luo Division, and actually defected to Yin Zi, who was related to the Li Kingdom..."

Yin Zi's family has some marriage relationship with Li State, but Luo Shi is so far away from Li State, and to be honest, Yin Zi doesn't know what the young master of Li State looks like.

Qi Lu put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Either this Prince of Lu State is extremely intelligent, and he dares to do what others dare not. As a Chidi man, he actually sneaked into the Luo Shi royal family and pretended to be the prince of Li State to seek help from Yin Zi." Lu guessed

After a guess, the Prince of Lu State must be thinking that if the emperor sends his troops to attack Lu State, he can easily check and balance Lu State with the help of the emperor. When the time comes, the Prince of Lu State will return to Lu State.

Wouldn't it be easy to seize back your position as king?"

Li Ziyi's palm hidden in his sleeve robe moved slightly, revealing a glimmer of silver. Obviously, there was a dagger hidden in his sleeve robe.

Qi Lu seemed to have noticed Li Ziyi's little move and said: "Prince of Lu State, you don't need to get angry because you are right? Let's talk nicely, why bother to use knives and guns?"

Qi Lu added: "At the wedding banquet, you killed the leader of the dead soldiers. At that time, the situation was very chaotic. Maybe no one paid attention. You kept covering your face with your sleeves and robes. Many people probably thought you were afraid of being killed.

People saw that you were a man, so you covered your face with your sleeves and robes, but now that I think about it carefully, you are not afraid of being discovered as a man, but are you afraid of being recognized by the leader of the dead soldiers? "

When the leader of the dead soldiers saw Li Ziyi, he said, "You are...". Before he finished speaking, Li Ziyi's dagger directly stabbed his neck, making a bloody hole. The action was so sharp. Now that he thinks about it, those dead soldiers

Among the scholars, only the leader knew the Prince of Lu, so Li Ziyi was eager to kill him and silence him.

"Everything is perfect," Qi Lu said: "If the law wall is not convinced, I will obey you. On the one hand, he pretended to be a little white rabbit to seek protection from Luo Shi, and on the other hand, he righteously asked the emperor to send troops to conquer Lu State. When the matter was accomplished, Lu State soldiers

If you are defeated, you can go back to Lu State with great pride and legitimately attack the rebellious monarch. It would be shameless to defeat the Lu State. Secondly, you are the prince and legitimate. With these two points added together, you don’t need any troops.

Then you can capture the Kingdom of Lu and ascend to the throne of the King of the Kingdom of Lu. Is Lu right? Prince of the Kingdom of Lu."

Li Ziyi squinted her eyes, feeling suddenly relieved. The gloom on her face disappeared, and instead she smiled and said, "Yes, you are right."

Qi Lu said "Oh" and said, "Are you admitting it?"

Li Ziyi nodded and said calmly: "You are right. I am a native of Lu State and the prince of Lu State. My name is not Li Ziyi, but Lu Ziyi."

Lu Ziyi smiled slightly and said: "Taifu Qi has been praising Ziyi for his intelligence, but Ziyi thinks that Taifu Qi is very smart. Ziyi asked herself that she had done nothing wrong in concealing it. Didn't the Taifu still see through it?"

Qi Lu raised his hands and said, "You're welcome, hey, it's not worth mentioning."

Lu Ziyi's face twitched, he just said it casually, but he didn't know that Qi Lu agreed so shamelessly, as if she was really praising him.

Lu Ziyi changed the topic and said, "But Master Qi did the most unwise thing."

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What is it?"

Lu Ziyi glanced at the soldiers around him with a faint look, smiled very leisurely, and said: "Taifu Qi wants to catch Zi Yi, so he shouldn't use these shrimps. Do you think that such a person can let Zi Yi?" Did Yi just surrender and capture him?"

Qi Lu waved his hand and said, "Prince Lu, please think about Lu. Lu is the most afraid of death. He hasn't eaten enough delicious food, seen enough beauties, and bought enough peppercorns, so he thinks carefully about everything." How could Lu not think about some of the issues that Prince Lu had thought about? Even though Prince Lu was so beautiful and bright, and usually looked like a little bird, like a benchmark little white rabbit, Lu was It was clear to see that Prince Lu stabbed the leader of the dead soldiers with a sword at the wedding banquet, and Lu did not dare to risk his own life for a joke..."

When he said this, he raised his hand, unfolded his sleeves and robe, and made a sound of "wow!". Even though Qi Lu was not tall, he looked like a scholar who could not carry his shoulders or lift his hands, but now he was tall and tall. As soon as he showed off his sleeves and robe, he gave off a crisp and neat temperament.

Qi Lu raised his hand and pointed, saying, "Prince Lu, you have misunderstood. Where is your opponent?"

Although groups of soldiers surrounded Lu Ziyi, these people were probably no match for Lu Ziyi, and Lu Ziyi's real opponent was in front.

Lu Ziyi looked up, and suddenly a crack appeared on her calm face, and she met a pair of half-closed tiger eyes.

——The Royal Grand Sima, Wuman!

Wu Man was dressed in black armor, standing with a sword in hand, and walked over from a distance, with Huben soldiers behind him. The well-trained Huben soldiers dispersed instantly, and surrounded Lu Ziyi three levels inside and three levels outside.

"Whoa!" Wu Man pointed with his long sword. The corners of his lips were still slightly red and swollen, and there was a hickey on his chin. His eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he stared at Lu Ziyi with the tip of the sword pointed directly at Lu Ziyi. He looked at his neck and said: "Lu Guo worked carefully and captured him quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lu Ziyi was slightly surprised when she saw Wu Man, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She thought of what the guard guard said just now, that Da Sima's talisman was lost. Whoever holds this talisman is a matter of careful work. , couldn't help but chuckle, but I didn't expect that I had calculated everything carefully, but in the end I was calculated, not only by Taifu Qi, but also by Wu Man.

Lu Ziyi pretended to be the fourth miss of the Yin family. The first time he saw Wu Man, he knew that Wu Man was absolutely fascinated by her appearance. Lu Ziyi was handsome and charming, and he had a slender figure and a good figure. Feng Liu, so many people will mistakenly think that Lu Ziyi has no threat and is a simple little white rabbit.

Li Ziyi knew that Wu Man must have misunderstood him when he saw her. All along, Lu Ziyi thought that she was the one who kept Wu Man in his hands. However, unexpectedly, Wu Man

Man is so sober, and he will eventually be plotted by Wu Man.

Wu Man stared at Lu Ziyi, flipped his wrist, and turned the sword's edge. Following his movements, Lu Ziyi was forced to raise his head and raise his chin slightly to avoid being injured by the sword's edge.

Wuman repeated in a cold voice: "I'll catch you without mercy."

Lu Ziyi seemed to be thinking about something, Qi Lu said with a smile: "Prince Lu, are you still planning to resist? Lu advises you not to resist. You can't escape anyway, so you'd better just surrender and be captured."

Lu Ziyi squinted her eyes and didn't say a word. She only heard a "pop!" sound, her sleeves moved slightly, and the dagger hidden in her sleeves instantly fell to the ground. Lu Ziyi slowly raised her hand, revealing herself

He raised his hands to indicate that he had no other weapons.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "You're so good, let's take him away."

Wu Man immediately stepped forward and tied up Lu Ziyi with a rope himself. Lu Ziyi did not resist, as if he did not know martial arts. Wu Man roughly tied up the rope and put on shackles, and said with a smile: "Da Sima,

Be gentle, you're hurting Ziyi."

When Wu Man listened to Lu Ziyi's words, his eyelids twitched, and his head started to jump. Lu Ziyi's words were so ambiguous, as if Wu Man had done something to him, but he clearly did it.

What is Lu Ziyi? Wu Man still feels sore in his body, but he endured the pain and moved.

Qi Lu asked Wu Man to take Lu Ziyi into the palace, and then he returned to the palace and prepared to report to the emperor. Because it was midnight when Lu Ziyi escaped, Ji Lin had already changed from the emperor to a little country dog. Why?
