After rebirth, the prince will fight in the house for me

Yanyang City, in Lu Mansion's Quinoa Banyan Courtyard
Lu Yanchao and Tang Youning had just had breakfast in the Nuan Pavilion when their servants came to report that Lu Wenqian and his wife had left the mansion overnight.

He first ordered someone to help Tang Youning, who had been in a daze recently, to rest in the inner room, and then talked about the matter with Ji Ping.

"He's rushing from Ganshan to Miancheng?"

Lu Yanchao half-squinted his eyes and asked suspiciously: "What on earth made him so anxious that he dared to take such a big risk and rush to Miancheng?"

"I heard that the chief eunuch fell seriously ill when he came out of the palace. According to the schedule, the chief eunuch and the imperial envoys should have arrived in Yanyang City long ago, but even now it's the New Year's Eve and no one is there."

Ji Ping also subconsciously guessed: "Sir, could something happen to the chief eunuch? The chief eunuch has always valued the second master, and even though he knew that the second master was ill, he summoned him to Miancheng. There must be something fishy in this."

His words reminded Lu Yanchao.

"The garrison of Miancheng is Zhang Jinnian's confidant. The entire Tanzhou Prefecture's garrison is in Miancheng. Zhang Jinnian has just taken over the overall situation of the court. Logically speaking, he should stay in the capital. He insists on coming to Yanyang City because he must be worried about his second uncle. body."

Lu Yanchao analyzed it carefully: "Is it possible that Zhang Jinnian was seriously ill and was afraid that it would be difficult to control the situation in Yanyang City, so he called his second uncle."

"Every sentence you analyzed makes sense."

Ji Ping replied excitedly: "Liu Ke next to the supervisor is no less important than Liu Quan in the palace. If the father and son both love the second master, even if the supervisor is gone, if they want to protect the second master, I'm afraid they will rely on the most important thing to protect the second master." The prestige of the Holy Empress is also difficult to check.”

"That bastard Liu Quan must be jealous of the Holy Empress's special regard for me, so he has other ideas."

Lu Yanchao clenched his fist angrily: "But I heard that this man and his son Liu Ke have always been at odds with each other. If Liu Ke is allowed to take over Zhang Jinnian's position in the palace, he will definitely not accept it."

Thinking of this, he smiled secretly: "If the news of the death of the chief eunuch spreads, what do you think Liu Quan will do?"

Ji Ping nodded without thinking: "He will definitely not let Liu Ke go back."

"The most important thing right now is to figure out the specific situation in Miancheng."

Lu Yanchao said thoughtfully.

Just at this moment, Butler Lu hurried in and said in panic in front of the two of them:
"Oh, Master, something serious has happened. I heard that the eunuch from the palace got seriously ill in Miancheng. I'm afraid he won't be able to come to Yanyang City for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanchao and Ji Ping looked at each other, smiled, and immediately ordered: "Get your horses ready and go to the Weaving Department."

"What does this mean, Master?"

Butler Lu didn't know why: "The third master is in the house now. The master should take him to Miancheng immediately. If he can cure the eunuch's illness, the eunuch will definitely be grateful to the master. How can the master return at this time?" Thinking of going to the Weaving Department?"

"Cure his illness?"

Lu Yanchao shook his head disdainfully: "I'm afraid it's too late."

If the third uncle was really helpful, the second uncle would have taken him to Miancheng long ago.

He was in such a hurry to have the 50 taels of silver bills taken from the Xiyuan Bank Treasury, because he concluded that Zhang Jinnian was hopeless and was about to run away.

"Steward Lu, I'm going out for a few days. You can take care of the whole house for me, especially take care of Fengyage and Xiyuan Bank."

In the second half of the sentence, Lu Yanchao deliberately emphasized his tone.

He is now determined to win those two places.

As long as Liu Ke is stopped and prevented from returning to Beijing, Lu Wenqian can be completely controlled.

When the time comes, even the second aunt will have to return to her side obediently.

Thinking of this, he was very happy and took Ji Ping out quickly.

When they arrived at the Weaving Department and saw Liu Quan, the two finally sat down together calmly.

Although Liu Quan was wary of him, he got some news about Zhang Jinnian's serious illness last night.

At this time, you must not fight against this person again.

"Presumably Mr. Chao came here because of the eunuch's stay in Miancheng, right?"

Liu Quan asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Liu Zhizao and I really have a good understanding." Lu Yanchao said with a smile: "Liu Zhizao should know this matter better than me, so I don't think I need to say more."

"After all, the Chief Superintendent is getting old and can't withstand the bumps and tosses along the way. It's not uncommon to have some minor ailments. I think he will be healed in a few days."

Liu Quanyun replied calmly.

"Really, but my second uncle rushed to Miancheng last night, and he still went to Ganshan."

Lu Yanchao gave him a meaningful look: "I heard that my second aunt was still selling her property before leaving, and exchanged all the money that could be taken away from the Xiyuan Bank into bank notes. Why does Liu Zhizao think this is?"

"Are they trying to escape?"

Liu Quan also immediately realized something was wrong.

He was aware of Liu Ke's temperament. He admired Zhang Jinnian very much and respected Lu Wenqian very much. He also knew the relationship between the two.

If Zhang Jinnian died of illness in Miancheng and left an orphan, Liu Ke would definitely mobilize the Miancheng army to help Lu Wenqian enter the capital by using the excuse of returning to Beijing to protect the spirit.

This is not good.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Lu Yanchao quickly reminded:

"My second uncle will not step down as the head of the family willingly this time. If the eunuch dies of illness, he will definitely leave a will to take back to the capital. In order to stabilize the government, the Holy Empress will only recommend your son to take charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Quan stood up and said anxiously: "Go, mobilize all the guards in cold clothes to follow our family to Miancheng."

The Cold Clothes Guard was created by Zhang Jinnian, and it was included in the Imperial Imperial Army's establishment in the early years, but its purpose was to monitor the four major imperial merchants and the Crescent Party in Yanyang City.

Now only this force can barely stop the Miancheng Army.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lu Yanchao also showed a face full of joy: "I am willing to go to Miancheng with Master Weaver. From now on, I hope Master Weaver will just follow his lead, share the prosperity, and work together for the Holy Empress and the court to share the worries."

"Then our family will thank Mr. Chao for his sincere treatment."

At this point, Liu Quan didn't want to argue with him about the favor he received in front of the Holy Lady, so he hurried to Miancheng with him.

……

At dusk, in the quiet Xuanning Post House, Qu Yunchu woke up faintly.

After sleeping peacefully for most of the day without being disturbed, her energy recovered a lot, but she was a little hungry.

Looking around, she found that the lights in the inner and outer halls were still on. She quickly stood up and walked out lightly.

As soon as he opened the curtain outside, he saw a figure with sharp outlines lying on the desk, sleeping soundly.

"I forgot that this is not Feng Ya Pavilion."

Only then did Qu Yunchu realize that there was only one guest room in the west courtyard of the post house.

"Ahem, he is so docile and well-behaved today, and he actually let himself have the bedroom to himself."

Thinking of this, she went back to the inner room and took a thick blanket and carefully put it on Lu Wenqian.

Just as he was about to turn around, he was grabbed tightly by a big hand that suddenly stretched out.

"Father."

A scream made Qu Yunchu startled.

She looked back and bumped into Lu Wenqian's beautiful eyes.

"You...had a nightmare."

Seeing the lingering fear on his face, Qu Yunchu reminded him somewhat sarcastically.

Thinking back to the nightmare just now, Lu Wenqian pretended to be calm and calmed down, slowly released her hand, and then put the blanket on his desk.

He didn't explain too much to her, but just said lightly: "I asked Ji Zhen to prepare dinner for you, so you can use some good life to rest for a night, and return to Yanyang City early tomorrow." (End of this chapter)
