Chapter 80 Where Did Lu Chenyang Got Lost?
Yan Xing immediately wrote a letter and called Tingshu over: "Ask Tao Ming to take five people to bring the person back."
Tingshu was shocked: "Prince, they are all people around you!"
Lu Chenyang looked at Yan Xing curiously: "The people around you?"
Oh no, it’s exposed!
Yan Xing said nonchalantly, "The one who protected me in secret."
Lu Chenyang: “…” He said, he said, why would the Duke of Zhenguo allow his only son to be exiled to Lingnan alone? It turns out that they were protecting him in secret!
The people he brought were all in the open, but Yan Xing’s people were all in the dark. He was really too naive!
This time, Yan Xing sent out all the secret guards around him, which shows how much importance he attaches to this matter.
Yan Xing said, "The Second Prince can still hide now, but the Emperor's patience is limited. Next year will be the Emperor's fiftieth birthday, and he will definitely come back then."
Lu Chenyang asked, "What does the emperor think of the Duke of Zhenguo?"
Yan Xing shook his head. "My father has been detained in the capital, supposedly awaiting investigation. But the Dali Temple judge who is trying the case is from Concubine Lan's mother's family."
The emperor has made up his mind to take action against the Duke of Zhenguo.
Seeing Lu Chenyang's serious expression, Yan Xing comforted him, "Don't worry, our Zhenguo Mansion won't be bullied."
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had been operating for many years, and even the Emperor did not dare to take action against him easily, so Lu Chenyang was not worried. Moreover, the Duke of Zhenguo also had the 100,000 Yan Family Army.
That is the confidence of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.
However, this confidence can only temporarily postpone the crisis of the Zhenguo Mansion. The emperor has begun to slowly erode and disintegrate the Zhenguo Mansion. The Zhenguo Mansion can't possibly rebel, right?
This was a game, but the outcome was already predetermined. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion could only allow itself to struggle a little longer in this process.
Yan Xing looked at Lu Chenyang: "Do you regret getting on my boat?"
Lu Chenyang turned around and smiled, relaxed and carefree: "To change an outcome that cannot be changed is more fulfilling, isn't it? It just so happens that I like this kind of challenge."
A smile flashed in Yan Xing's eyes.
After the two finished their meal, Lu Chenyang returned to the county government office.
Yan Xing took out another letter that he had discovered a long time ago. It was sent by the second prince last month and was about military power.
The Duke of Zhenguo returned to the capital, and the command power remained vacant. For the sake of military power, everyone in the court had their own ideas. The emperor finally made a decision and sent his confidant Pei Yuan to Yanhui Pass to take over the Yan family army.
The second prince revealed this news to Yan Xing and asked him to make preparations early.
In fact, the current situation in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is worse than Lu Chenyang thought. The Duke of Zhenguo is under house arrest and cannot contact outsiders.
The military needs to make plans early, as military power is the foundation of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Yan Xing did not show this letter to Lu Chenyang, as it contained some real secrets.
Therefore, Yan Xing actually had some reservations about Lu Chenyang.
He recognized Lu Chenyang's character and ability, but truly confidential things could not be delivered so quickly or easily.
After Lu Chenyang returned, he was still thinking about this matter. Zhao Xi saw that the light in the study was still on and walked in immediately.
"Sir, why haven't you slept yet so late? You should get enough rest!" Zhao Xi said seriously with a chubby face.
Lu Chenyang smiled and pinched her cheek, and then Zhao Xi couldn't hold back her joy and immediately smiled.
She just likes Lu Chenyang pinching her cheeks, only hers, hehe.
Lu Chenyang said: "I'm thinking about something."
Zhao Xi immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Chenyang said, "I was wondering why Lu Chenyang left without saying a word. I feel like he wasn't forced, but did it voluntarily."
Zhao Xi looked puzzled: "Then who can make the young master follow him willingly?"
Lu Chenyang's eyes lit up and he patted her head: "You know what? Zhao Xi, you hit the nail on the head. Yes, who can make him leave willingly?"
She had read the note sent back by Lu Chenyang more than once. Judging from the strokes and handwriting, he wrote this note willingly.
They grew up together and were enlightened together, so they are very familiar with each other.
Lu Xueyin initially thought that Lu Chenyang was forced and was involved in the struggle between the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Concubine Lan.
But the more I thought about it these days, the more I felt something was wrong. Lu Chenyang was just a small top scholar. In the eyes of these big shots, he was nothing. He couldn't affect the overall situation. Why did they have to arrest him?
Lu Xueyin had previously thought that it was most likely Concubine Lan's men who had abducted Lu Chenyang. But after reading the Second Prince's letter today, she suddenly realized that if Concubine Lan felt that Lu Chenyang was a nuisance, she could have simply killed him and there was no need to abduct him.
As for Lu Chenyang's surrender to Concubine Lan, that is absolutely impossible!
Everyone has always seen Lu Xueyin pretending to be Lu Chenyang, and they don't know the real Lu Chenyang. To put it nicely, the real Lu Chenyang is honest, but to put it bluntly, he is stupid!
The emperor blatantly wanted to punish the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. As the newly crowned top scholar, he ran around everywhere and wrote articles to appeal for the Duke of Zhenguo. How could he be a tactful and roundabout person?
Pretending to surrender and then spying on information is not Lu Chenyang's style at all.
So the one who could make Lu Chenyang leave willingly...was either Concubine Lan or the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
Or the second prince is also a possibility.
However, Lu Xueyin felt that Lu Chenyang, a mere top scholar, should not be worthy of the second prince.
Therefore, it is most likely that Lu Chenyang has gotten close to the Duke of Zhenguo.
But why did Lu Chenyang do this?
Lu Xueyin had heard that there was a special kind of tacit understanding between twins, and if one of them encountered danger, the other would also have a different feeling.
She now really hopes that this statement is true, and that Lu Chenyang can give her some inspiration and tell her where he has gone.
This troublesome brother.
Zhao Xi said distressedly, "Sir, don't worry too much. You are already very tired. I think since the young master sent the note back, it at least means that he is safe now. Maybe he will come back after a while."
He should come back soon, look how tired his daughter is!
If Lu Chenyang hadn't been lost, her daughter wouldn't have had to pretend to be a county magistrate. Seeing how exhausted she was every day, Zhao Xi felt sorry for her.
Lu Chenyang smiled and said, "I hope so."
Even if this hope is too slim.
But Lu Chenyang hasn't come back yet, so she has to do this job.
