Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

50 Mist
Night falls.

"Brother Lu, didn't I say to let other people do this, why did you do it yourself?"

In the Lu Family Secret Courtyard, Ximen Aolong, who has been hiding in the Lu family, heard that Lu Yuanhua personally led the team there last night, showing disbelief in his eyes, looking at Lu Yuanhua, who asked him for credit, like looking at an idiot.

"After all, the matter is important. One more person will be exposed. Only I can do it myself. Don't worry, Mr. Ximen. I have dealt with those people last night."

There was a hint of greed in Lu Yuanhua's eyes. After all, one hundred thousand shi is a lot of food. It would be a pity to destroy the food according to Ximen Aolong's statement.

Lu Qingyan held the teacup in her hand and handed it to Lu Yuanhua. Seeing that Ximen Aolong's expression was wrong, her fragrant body leaned close to Ximen Aolong and said softly:

"Aolong, isn't my elder brother just to be cautious? I'm afraid that some people will make a mistake at a critical moment. Anyway, from the west city granary to the west city gate are all our people. Who can find out what?"

Lu Yuanhua took the teacup very confidently:

"Even if they guessed that our Lu family did it, they have no proof."

"What about the food, have you found a place to bury it?"

Ximen Aolong lowered his head and flashed his eyes, hugged Lu Qingyan's slender waist, raised his head and showed a gentle smile.

Lu Yuanhua patted his hard chest and said:
"Young Master Ximen, don't worry, I've sent someone to bury it."

Sitting on Ximen Aolong's lap, Lu Qingyan peeled off a grape and put it into Ximen Aolong's mouth, tilting her head and wondering:
"Aolong, since we have released all kinds of news that the [-] shi of grain was stolen by Chu Qingyan's subordinates, why don't we throw a few bags of grain and sneak it into their camp."

The grapes are very sweet, Ximen Aolong narrowed his eyes slightly and explained:

"Chu Qingyan and the others will definitely be on guard when they learn that the food has been stolen. If the people we send are discovered by them, all previous efforts will be wasted, and our real ultimate move is not there!"

"Haha, that's right, Chu Qingyan never dreamed that what we are doing now is just confusing her sight and diverting her gaze."

Lu Yuanhua sneered and said:

"Tomorrow the King of Chu will be interrogated in the courtroom. When everything is settled, I really want to see their expressions."

Ximen Aolong glanced at Lu Changming, sighed softly, and then asked:

"Qingyan, where is your father, when will he be back?"

"Father will be back tomorrow." Lu Qingyan said with a smile. In the past few days, Lu Changming specially went to various counties to inspect in order to be cautious.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Ximen Aolong didn't know whether to sigh or sigh.

Looking at Lu Yuanhua and Lu Qingyan, who were proud of themselves, their eyes were full of indifference.

It's good that Lu Changming is fine.

For Ximen Aolong, the Xicheng granary incident was just a temptation!
It's really just a trial!

But Lu Yuanhua, an idiot, actually did it himself.

Best hope it's not what you think it is...  

Lu Yuanhua walked out of the small courtyard, leaving Lu Qingyan and Ximen Aolong inside alone.

Walking out of the courtyard, a resolute commander in armor followed closely behind him.

Lu Yuanhua cast a glance at him, and said slowly:
"Zhou Chen, you have been by my side from now on, don't say what you shouldn't, you are my right-hand man, I appreciate your talent, so I will hide it from Mr. Ximen and leave you alone."

Zhou Chen lowered his head and cupped his fists, "This subordinate understands!"

........................

In Chu Wangfu, in the attic in the lake, Yu Wencheng and Fan Tongling stood in front of Li Yuan.

Xiao Yezi and Nangong Xiyue stood behind Li Yuan, seeing Li Yuan's eyes looking back and forth between the two, there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Li Yuan patrolled back and forth between the two, and it was a little difficult to make a choice, so he asked:
"Chengdu, Commander Fan, I have only two generals under my command. Now I need one of you to join the army as a deputy lieutenant. Which one of you will go?"

"Lieutenant?"

Fan Jianqiang's face was moved, and he was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to speak.

There are [-] guards in the capital city, and there are only four deputy lieutenants.

Is your highness going to replace it?
Li Yuan saw everyone's doubts and explained:
"This king learned from Mo Zhifu that the guard of the west town for ten days is Lu Yuanhua, Deputy Lieutenant Lu."

Fan Jianqiang's expression became even more puzzled. Does this have anything to do with us?

Nangong Xiyue behind Li Yuan's eyes moved, could it be that His Highness suspected that the Lu family had stolen one hundred thousand shi of grain?

Or plan to also charge Lu Yuanhua with dereliction of duty and replace him?

"This king suspects that the theft of [-] shi of grain was done by the Lu family."

Li Yuan had guessed in the morning that it was the Lu family who did it.

Because when Mo Ziyan arrived at the palace in the morning, he specifically mentioned this Lu Yuanhua.

Yu Wencheng opened his eyes, and a wave of killing came out from his body.

"Your Highness needs me to solve the Lu family?"

"No, we don't need to do it. Chu Qingyan will do it herself. At that time, the king can arrange people to enter the guard."

"Princess?" Several people were stunned again.

Can the princess really do it?
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Li Yuan chuckled and shook his head, but there was no fluctuation in his tone:
"Chu Qingyan has been acting in the capital for so long, who knows if her current appearance is real? Behind her is the Zhen Guo Mansion..."

Regardless of the increasingly confused expressions of the crowd,

Li Yuan looked towards the direction of the Yamen Prison, his gaze was faint:

"Liu Lei is going to die tonight, but who will kill him?"

"No matter who it is, Lu Yuanhua's position is taken by me!"

………………

In the middle of the night, in the dark prison, there was a rancid smell.

In the deepest part, Liu Lei, who was sleeping on a bed in a single prison cell, was dressed in ragged clothes with bloodstains all over his body. The moonlight shone on his face, but he was very peaceful.

Click!

The sound of light footsteps woke Liu Lei up. Liu Lei narrowed his eyes and immediately made a panic expression.

tread!tread!
Two figures in black robes stood in front of the cell door, looking at Liu Lei quietly.

The faint moonlight shone on the front figure, revealing a pair of sharp eyes.

Seeing the familiar face, Liu Lei crawled up to him, weeping and begging:

"My lord, I am really wronged."

"The lower official was framed."

A cold voice interrupted his pleading:
"Why did you betray me!"

Liu Lei's movements froze, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked at the figure behind him showing a delicate and beautiful face, and opened his mouth, showing unprecedented panic:
"Second...second miss!" Liu Lei frantically kowtowed,
"I didn't, Second Miss, I didn't betray you!"

"Help me, someone framed me."

"Second miss, help me, I don't want to die."

"Framed you? Then what is this?" Chu Qingyan's eyes were extremely cold, a picture stone appeared in her hand, and a scene emerged:
It was the scene in the granary in Xicheng, and Liu Lei respectfully followed Lu Yuanhua, who was in charge of transporting the grain.

"How is it possible?" Liu Lei opened his eyes wide, knowing that he had been exposed, and muttered, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly raised his head:
"The Lu family has your people!"

Then he looked at the person next to Chu Qingyan, his pupils dilated, extremely shocked:

"He's yours too!"

"You never believed us!"
