at the same time.
In Luoyang, Shen Lian, a spy under Lu Wenzhao, a centurion of the Central Plains Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, saw that someone had drawn the unique communication code of the Embroidered Uniform Guard on the city wall of the East Gate. After warning his subordinates not to act rashly, he went alone to the front of the Princess's residence.
After some communication and identification, Lu Wenzhao entered the Princess's residence.
"You should know that your lord is in grave danger in Mengjin, why haven't you made a single move?"
Liu Hua asked abruptly.
"Your Highness, I must follow my superior's instructions and cannot act on my own!"
"I have immediately reported to my superiors that our lord is in distress in Mengjin. I believe they will have a solution. If we are needed, we will not hesitate to serve."
"Unless we receive orders from our superiors, we must remain hidden in Luoyang and not act rashly."
Lu Wenzhao spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, leaving no room for argument, "Your Highness, you summoned me using our means of communication just to ask about this matter?"
Why are all the people under Liu Wei's command so rigid?
If Yan Xiaoliu hadn't threatened her with Fu Shou's status as the future mistress, she probably wouldn't have told her anything!
“Your lord is responsible for countless lives; he cannot afford to be harmed. If something happens to him in Mengjin, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Seeing that Lu Wenzhao was so calm and composed, not worried at all, Liu Hua had no choice but to express all his concerns.
"My lord is blessed by the heavens; there will absolutely be no trouble!"
"Last night we escorted our lord out of the city, and we parted ways at Shizipo, north of Luoyang!"
"We have already used a plan to lure He Jin to Fu County. Our lord has no pursuers along the way and can safely blend into the crowd and cross the river."
Lu Wenzhao said slowly.
"That's right, if he can cross the river, why doesn't he cross it? Why is he waiting for He Jin to come and chase after him in Mengjin?"
Liu Hua blurted it out.
"Princess, don't you understand? The Lord did this intentionally!"
Lu Wenzhao smiled faintly, "He deliberately stayed in Mengjin; he has something big planned."
"Being surrounded by He Jin was also part of his plan."
"Therefore, Princess, there is no need to worry. Just wait and see. I think good news from the Lord will arrive soon!"
Hearing Lu Wenzhao's words of comfort, Liu Hua felt relieved.
"Does your lord really not need me to do anything for him?"
"There's no need for you, Princess, to trouble yourself!"
Lu Wenzhao said solemnly, "My lord must be very moved to know that the Princess has such a kind heart!"
"We will also keep a close eye on the situation in Mengjin and report to the Princess in a timely manner."
How come all of Liu Wei's people are so good-looking and have such pleasant voices?
Liu Hua sized up Lu Wenzhao, almost wanting to introduce him to his wife.
After all, Liu Wei was going to arrange a marriage between her personal maid Fu Rou and Wang Fangyi, so Liu Hua didn't mind helping to make another good match happen.
The man before them, Lu Wenzhao, was handsome and talented.
The most important thing is to say things that make people feel comfortable.
Seeing Liu Hua's ardent gaze, Lu Wenzhao was startled. Could it be that this princess had taken a liking to him and wanted him to be her male concubine?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
If the lord knew that Lu Wenzhao had slept with his future mother-in-law, he would definitely castrate him.
"Your Highness, is there anything else? If not, I shall take my leave."
Lu Wenzhao hurriedly offered his resignation.
"Why don't you stay a little longer, have a cup of tea, and then leave?"
Liu Hua extended a warm invitation, "Your lord has a guard recuperating here with me, why don't you go and see him?"
"No, no! Your Highness, I really have to go."
Lu Wenzhao became even more certain of his earlier guess, waving his hands like a rattle-drum and retreating repeatedly.
"Hehe, young man, you're quite shy. Come visit my residence more often when you have time!"
Amidst Liu Hua's enthusiasm, Lu Wenzhao hurriedly left the Princess's residence.
......
Right now.
Guanzhong, Fengyi County.
A caravan of about two thousand people hurried from Jiuzong Mountain, north of the Guanzhong Plain, toward Puban Ferry, an ancient ferry crossing on the Yellow River.
Thousands of horses dragged large bamboo baskets, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Hurry, hurry! We must reach the Yellow River ferry before dark!"
A young man, with a face like jade, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, yet his gaze possessed a determination and depth beyond his years.
After he gave the order, the caravan members whipped the horses to make them run.
As the horse galloped, the bamboo basket shook, and wisps of black powder fell out.
Looking back, the road had been dyed black.
"General, if this continues, all these warhorses will probably die from exhaustion."
A man beside the young man was heartbroken over his warhorse.
"A mere warhorse versus the safety of your lord, do you have no sense of which is more important?"
"Even if these warhorses die of exhaustion, we must reach Puban Ferry before sunset today. Do you understand?"
"At any cost!"
The young man's face was extremely serious, and his murderous aura sent chills down one's spine.
He advised the person to shut up.
This young man was extraordinary; at only sixteen years old, he had already been appointed General of the Right Army by the imperial court.
He controlled and commanded the military and political affairs of Shangjun Guluocheng, Dacheng, Dongsheng and other places, and led 13,000 soldiers. He was one of the four generals under Liu Wei, the King of Yunzhong, and was known as Zhang Liao, also called Zhang Babai!
Almost immediately after the Grand Court Assembly, Liu Wei purchased the titles of General Who Guards the North and four Lieutenant Generals from Liu Hong.
Liu Wei immediately sent the official seal and credentials to his strategists and henchmen.
Military Advisor General, Chief Secretary of the Prince of Yunzhong's Palace, and Commander-in-Chief of the Hetao Region, Yao Guangxiao, the "Demon Monk";
