Prince Zhong chuckled.
"Why, no, huh? It depends on whether your nephew knows what's good for him."
Lu Minghan looked at Prince Zhong's rogue appearance speechlessly, but in his heart he prayed that Lu Zifeng would never fall into the hands of this old rogue Prince Zhong.
Lu Zifeng, who was far away in Lianzhou Prefecture, shuddered and looked up at the moonlight outside the window. He felt very strange. He was in good health. Although it was early autumn, Lianzhou Prefecture was located a hundred miles north of Mingjiang River and still belonged to Jiangnan and other places. It was not like the north.
In the capital city located in the north, people are already wearing jackets. Although it is still very hot at noon, people will get sick if they don't wear jackets in the morning and evening.
Lu Dong saw Lu Zifeng shivering, and hurriedly took out a jacket from his luggage and put it on Lu Zifeng, but Lu Zifeng refused.
"It's okay. The weather isn't cold at this time. There's no need to wear a jacket."
Lu Dong said.
"Master, although you say you're not cold, it's nighttime now, with heavy frost and dew. You should put on a jacket!"
Lu Zifeng was at a loss for words and had to put on his jacket obediently. After beating Lu Dong, Lu Zifeng sat on the stone bench in the yard and used his mental power to pay attention to Prince Qing and his group.
Through their conversation, Lu Zifeng also learned that they were planning to start attacking Lianzhou Prefecture on the tenth day of October, and they had also bribed the city gate officer guarding the city gate of Lianzhou Prefecture. At that time, the city gate would naturally be opened in the city to let them in. Moreover, some of them were secretly contacting the prefect of Lianzhou Prefecture, hoping to make the prefect of Lianzhou Prefecture their own.
Lu Zifeng narrowed his eyes and sneered. Since he was in Lianzhou Prefecture, how could he let them succeed? He thought that Lu Qiu must have arrived in the capital by now. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely send someone over, but he didn't know who he would send.
Thinking of this, Lu Zifeng decided to write another letter and ask Lu Dong to send it back. Lu Zifeng did not delay and went straight into the house to write the letter and called Lu Dong over.
"Lu Dong, as usual, take two people and deliver this letter to my uncle in the capital."
Lu Dong hesitated.
"Master, now that this little one has left, you will have no one to serve you personally!"
Lu Zifeng waved his hand.
"Go ahead. I, your master, also went out alone before, so this little difficulty won't affect me. You go ahead. And I think Lu Chun will be back in the next two days."
When Lu Dong heard Lu Zifeng say this, he felt a little relieved and nodded.
"Master, I will take the people back right away."
After seeing Lu Dong off, Lu Zifeng felt helpless about the communication in this era. If it were before the end of his previous life, he could always get in touch no matter how far away he was.
Now, after Lu Dong left, Lu Zifeng was left with only a few people left by Situ Hao. However, Lu Zifeng's way of monitoring King Qing was different, so he didn't need many people. A few people around him were enough.
Situ Hao was followed by hundreds of people, all of whom were arranged by him at the four city gates. Two of them even sneaked into the team guarding the city gates. Lu Zifeng had to admire this. These people were quite capable and had already become friends with those guarding the city gates.
Lu Dong and his men had just left Lianzhou Prefecture when they were stopped by a dozen people. Looking at those people, Lu Dong said without blinking.
"Who are you? What are you planning to do by stopping me?"
Lu Dong had a reason for asking this. He was afraid that the three of them would leak the news, which would harm the master. So he needed to know why these people were stopping him.
The men looked at each other and asked.
"Nothing, my brothers are a little short of money these days, so I want to borrow some from you."
This person spoke without making any mistakes. Lu Dong couldn't tell whether they were soldiers for a moment, but they looked a bit like them, so he thought about it.
"Well, since you brothers have said it so clearly, I can't refuse. After all, we are all out here to do business, and harmony brings wealth! I have fifty taels of silver here, and I will give it to you brothers. I hope you will give me some help."
As he spoke, he took out a purse from his pocket and weighed it in his hand.
"Brother, come forward and I'll give you the purse."
The leader of the group looked at the money bag in Lu Dong's hand and smiled.
"Brother, this is not fair. No matter which brother comes forward, it will be dangerous! If a brother is stabbed in the back, what will he do?"
After hearing what the man said, Lu Dong said, "Since you don't trust us, forget it. After all, there are only three of us, and you have more than a dozen people. We should be careful, right?"
In fact, Lu Dong had already guessed who these people belonged to. When he took out the purse, he did not see any greed in their eyes. If these people really came to rob for money, they would naturally want money. However, there was no greed in these people's eyes, which meant that these people did not come for money, but used this as an excuse to stop him and others from going to the capital.
Thinking of this, Lu Dong secretly said to the two guards beside him.
"Get ready to take action. If you want to break out, don't go towards the capital, but towards Jeju Prefecture."
The two guards knew that Lu Dong had also discovered something, so they nodded gently, "Yes, let's meet up in Jeju Prefecture."
After saying that, the three of them immediately took out the long swords hanging on the saddles and rushed towards the group of people.
In fact, these people were indeed sent by Prince Qing. They were also afraid that someone here would report the news to the capital. It would take time for their army to come out of the mountains, so they were very careful about people coming out of Lianzhou Prefecture and heading to the capital in the past few days. Now Lu Dong and his men were caught up, but they were not sure whether Lu Dong and his men were going to the capital, so they planned to kill someone by mistake rather than let anyone go.
Lu Dong's martial arts skills were actually the worst among Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, but Lu Dong had a strength that the other three did not have, which was that he was best at using hidden weapons. So at this time, Lu Dong was fighting with them with a long sword, while occasionally using hidden weapons to greet this group of people.
In fact, this group of people were not very good at martial arts. They were just soldiers and had learned crude moves on the battlefield. Unfortunately, they met Lu Dong, and the two guards had been in the death camp, so soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, all of them were killed.
Lu Dong didn't expect these people to be so fragile and shook his head.
"It seems that Prince Qing has already started checking people going to the capital. This place hasn't left the territory of Lianzhou Prefecture. I think we need to take a detour. There must be more than just this group of people who are intercepting and killing people on the road."
