Chapter 243

As night falls, the moon is as bright as water.

The cool breeze is blowing, and the cicadas hidden in the trees are constantly chirping.

The palace of the State of Lu has long been full of singing and dancing, and it seems that it has not been affected by the rebellion of the clan prince not long ago.

After Su Rong and Xiao Li verified the identity of Su Kingdom's envoys outside the palace, they brought An Shichi and An Shiba dressed as bodyguards together.

An Shiba and An Shiba walked at the end, pretending to glance casually at the guards stationed around them, and quickly looked away.

He tugged at An Shiba's sleeves, and at the moment of bowing his head, he whispered: "The guards at the palace gate are well-arranged, and something must happen. When the time comes, you should be more vigilant."

"You don't need to tell me, I can know."

An Shiba responded to him in a low voice, and told An Shichi what he had discovered just now, and he remained silent until he passed by those guards.

Su Rong and Xiao Li walked in front, not knowing what they were discussing behind.

But in the same way, Su Rong and Xiao Li's vigilance is not low.

This trip to the palace, I am afraid that there will be no good banquet, just a Hongmen banquet.

"Be careful."

Su Rong said this in a low voice.

Then, turn another corner to the right, and in front of you is the place where Lu Guojun held a banquet.

The lights are dazzling, and the luminous pearls hanging on the wall are shining incandescently, and the music is constantly playing, and the bustle and bustle can be heard from a distance.

Having been in Lu Kingdom for so many days, Su Rong had figured out the route in the palace, and if something really went wrong, they would be able to retreat in time.

Xiao Li nodded, but said nothing.

"General Su Rong of Su Kingdom, the envoy of Su Kingdom has arrived—"

As soon as he saw General Su Rong, the little father-in-law guarding outside the hall raised his head and sang.

Then, the singing, dancing and noise in the hall stopped.

It wasn't until the figures of Su Rong and Xiao Li appeared in the hall that the singing and dancing resumed, and the hall naturally returned to its former bustle.

Su Guo was the last one to come.

The envoys from other countries have already arrived, sitting in their seats and talking with each other, seemingly with constant smiles on their faces.In fact, everyone secretly guessed in their hearts the meaning of Lu Guojun's sudden banquet.

After all, being forced to stay is fine, and they are also worried about their own safety.

"General Su Rong is here."

Sitting on the high platform, Lu Guojun pushed away the dancing girl who fell on him. He held the wine glass and stood up unsteadily. With a smile on his face, he looked at Su Rong and said: " Come, come, General Su Rong, today, you must have a drink with Gu, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Su Rong has been in the military camp all year round and fought on the battlefield for many years. As early as three years ago, he had fought against the State of Lu. However, in order to save more people from suffering, the two countries finally negotiated a peace agreement, stipulating that no more wars should be fought for a hundred years.

Therefore, the title of "General Su Rong" has been heard by the King of Lu for a long time.

That day because of Prince Zong's rebellion, General Su Rong was forcibly left in the State of Lu. The Lord of Lu State was still worried, but since he didn't see any changes in General Su Rong, he felt relieved.

Today's such a banquet, Lu Guojun is also to test the attitude of these envoys from other countries.

"Your Majesty was joking."

General Su Rong said lightly, and then led Xiao Li to the position assigned to the envoy of Su Kingdom.

There were all kinds of delicacies on the desk, but neither Su Rong nor Xiao Li touched them.

As for wine.
Su Rong got up suddenly, he raised his wine glass and clinked it to Lord Lu Shangkong: "Su Rong is late, I will punish myself with three cups first."

In fact, he came at the time given by Lu Guojun, but after arriving at the banquet, he realized that he and Xiao Li were the last ones.

Su Rong didn't know if there was a mistake in the time, but it was obvious that Lu Guojun wanted him to drink on purpose.

Then he touched it, but it didn't matter.

He wanted to see what Lu Guojun wanted to do.

Su Rong raised his head, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, continued, then poured the second and third glasses.

"it is good!"

Lu Guojun suddenly laughed out loud, clapped his hands and praised: "General Su Rong is really refreshing!"

Su Rong nodded.

He sat down on the seat again with a blank expression, and put the wine glass on the table, while Xiao Li, who was sitting next to him, glanced at General Su Rong's sleeve without any trace.

Su Rong seemed unaware.

After drinking for three rounds, the dancers changed from batch to batch.

However, Lord Lu never said anything about the purpose of holding a banquet during this trip.

But neither Su Rong nor Xiao Li dared to take it lightly.

And An Shiba and An Shiba, who followed behind them with their heads bowed, stared at the movements in the entire hall all the time.

"May I ask Lord Lu, when will we be able to leave?"

However, after all, some farewell envoys couldn't help but asked, "It's been more than a month now, if the Lord Lu doesn't let me go, I'm afraid the Lord of our country should also send someone here."

That last sentence is almost an obvious threat.

Hearing this, Lu Guojun's complexion instantly turned bad.

But in the face of so many envoys from other countries who came to celebrate his wedding, including General Su Rong from Su Kingdom, Lord Lu had no choice but to swallow back the anger welling up in his heart. He forced a smile and said: " Why are you in such a hurry? After Gu solves the rebellion of the clan prince, Gu will naturally let you go."

"not to mention……"

Speaking of this, the tone of Lord Lu suddenly changed, and he said with a bit of force: "As far as Gu knows, Prince Zong still has a secret force, and even Gu has nothing to do with him. Lock it up, but if you leave suddenly, I'm afraid... Gu is afraid that you will be implicated."

"Furthermore, I left you alone for the sake of your safety..."

What Lu Guojun said is not all false, Prince Zong does have another force lurking in the dark.

Because of this, Lu Guojun did not attack Prince Zong.

As for...

The reason why these envoys from other countries insisted on letting them stay was because the Lord of Lu wanted to use their identities to force Prince Zong to draw out that hidden force...

Hearing what Lord Lu said, the faces of the envoys softened again, and the envoy who had just proposed to leave immediately softened his tone, and he said: "Then please settle the matter properly as soon as possible, Lord Lu."

"Definitely, Gu will definitely do it as soon as possible."

Lu Guojun accompanied him with a smile, and he picked up the wine glass again, saying: "Come on, everyone, continue to drink and drink!"

All of a sudden, all the envoys raised their wine glasses one after another.

So did Su Rong and Xiao Li, they looked at each other, picked up the wine glass at the same time, and drank it down again in one gulp.

But after listening to Lord Lu's words, Su Rong finally understood what Lord Lu was planning...

It's nothing more than trying to use their safety to draw out the power of Prince Zong...

If Prince Lu Guozong really dared to move them, what the Prince would have to face would be the anger from the entire country...

but--

Neither Lord Lu nor Su Rong expected that Prince Zong's plan would come so soon.

After the palace banquet.

As soon as they left the palace, Su Rong and Xiao Li were attacked by the men in black.

Fortunately, Su Rong and Xiao Li's martial arts are not weak, and with the help of An Shiba and An Shiba, even if there are more than a dozen men in black, there is no way to take them all down.

However, in order to protect Su Rong, Xiao Li's arm was cut and he was also stabbed in several places.

Obviously, those men in black seemed to be aiming at Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, how are you doing?"

Su Rong's sword repelled the oncoming man in black, and supported Xiao Li with one hand, "Be patient first."

At this time, Dark Eleven and Dark Eighteen also came over, the men in black who had come to attack them died, fled, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, but Dark Eleven and the others did not catch up .

"The head of the dark guard is injured?"

Touching the pool of blood on the long arm of the dark guard, An Shi frowned tightly and cursed: "Damn it, I didn't expect them to dare to do anything outside the palace gate!"

An Shiyi didn't expect that there was a fight here, but the guards outside the palace didn't seem to have seen it, and they didn't rush to help.

"Go back first."

Su Rong said with a blank face, but carefully supported Xiao Li.

Because the other courtyard where they lived was not far from the palace, they did not bring a carriage when they came out this time, but Xiao Li was injured suddenly, so Su Rong had no choice but to take him to the nearest hospital.

"No need."

Xiao Li frowned tightly, the more painful the wound was, the more expressionless he became, "General Surong, go back first, there is medicine in the other courtyard."

"If those men in black still appear."

Taking him to the clinic is afraid that it will hurt other people.

So, at Xiao Li's insistence, Su Rong took Xiao Li back to the other courtyard.

Dark Eleven and Dark Eighteen followed closely behind.

After returning to the other courtyard, An Shili planned to give medicine to the head of the dark guard, but with General Su Rong by his side, An Shili's hand didn't even have a chance to touch the medicine box.

In the end, it was General Su Rong who gave Xiao Li the medicine.

"It seems that Prince Zong still made a move."

Lord Lu would not be so stupid if he could do it right at the gate of the palace, and what Lord Lu said before.He couldn't have just finished speaking and then shot at them again.

Presumably, the one who did it must be Prince Lu Guozong.

only.
Why did Prince Lu Guozong attack them suddenly?
With a cold face, Su Rong bandaged Xiao Li's wound and said: "However, this group of men in black seems to be targeting you, Xiao Li, have you ever offended Prince Zong before?"

"This subordinate has never had any contact with Prince Zong."

Enduring the pain, Xiao Li shook his head. It was the first time he had met Prince Zong when he first came to Lu country, and he had never met him before.

Why did Prince Zong suddenly send a man in black to kill him?
Xiao Li couldn't figure it out: "This subordinate has never offended the prince of the clan,"

"Then we can only check."

Su Rong said in a calm tone: "Tomorrow, the king will go to the clan prince's mansion. If he really did the trick, this king will definitely not let him go easily!"

An Shiyi clenched his fist, and echoed in a cold voice beside him: "The subordinates will not let those people go!"
-
Zongqin Palace.

Concubine Gu Huai, who stayed in the yard for a whole day, couldn't feel at ease.

She knew that Prince Zong would attack Xiao Li tonight, but Concubine Gu Huai couldn't feel at ease if she didn't get the exact news for a while. It was Xiao Li who captured Changqing back then. In the hands of her, it can be regarded as her venting her anger for Chang Qing.

One Xiao Li, one Su Jing, she will not let them go!
"Concubine."

Just as she was thinking, Prince Zong walked towards her with a happy expression. Concubine Gu Huai raised her eyes. She looked at Prince Zong and asked subconsciously: "The prince's plan has come true?"

Prince Zong happily said: "Half and half."

"My lord, what does this mean?"

Concubine Gu Huai's smile gradually subsided, she said: "Could it be that the prince missed it?"

"It doesn't count."

The clan king said: "Why do you need to worry, my concubine, since this king has already agreed to my concubine's request, this king will naturally keep his promise and will definitely help you kill Xiao Li."

Concubine Gu Huai said lightly: "Then according to what the lord thinks now, it means that the lord didn't succeed in killing Xiao Li, right?"

"But this king's men have already injured him."

Although Prince Zong was imprisoned in Prince Zong's Mansion, he still had a force hiding outside, waiting to take him out at any time.

As long as he wanted, he could easily leave the clan prince's mansion.

The reason why he didn't leave at this time was just that he was unwilling to let go of Lu's throne.

Once he had the chance, he could make a comeback and take the entire country of Lu into his pocket.

"Presumably, that Xiao Li was also seriously injured this time."

As he said that, Prince Zong wanted to embrace Concubine Gu Huai into his arms, but seeing Concubine Gu Huai subconsciously dodge, the smile on Prince Zong's face disappeared immediately, and he said calmly: "Concubine, you won't even let me touch you now." Did the king touch it?"

"You also said that as long as I kill Xiao Li, you will follow me. Now I have sent someone to hurt Xiao Li."

"Why do you still wait for this king to be so alienated?"

Hearing this, Concubine Gu Huai frowned slightly, she stood up and said, "My lord, this concubine doesn't mean that, since I have agreed to my lord, I will definitely fulfill my promise, but I am afraid."

"Xiao Li will still escape."

"how is this possible?"

Prince Zong said calmly: "Since you can hurt him this time, you can easily kill him next time. Why should I have such worries? If you don't believe me, then wait patiently for another two days , this king will definitely send someone to bring back Xiao Li's head for you to see for yourself!"

"The concubine is waiting for the good news from the prince."

Concubine Gu Huai suddenly bent her knees slightly, lowered her head, revealing her porcelain-white jade-like neck, she whispered softly: "If the prince can really do it, I will personally send my sincerity, please wait patiently. "

In this way, even if Prince Zong wanted to do something, he couldn't lose his status in front of the concubine.

"Forget it, since you have already agreed to the king, the king may wait for a while."

Prince Zong said slowly: "However, concubine, my patience is limited."

"The concubine understands."

Concubine Gu Huai bit her lips, she continued: "If the lord has nothing else to do, my concubine will ask the lord to leave first, I'm sleepy for a while, I want to rest and go to bed."

"Okay, the concubine can rest well."

After finishing speaking, Prince Zong gave her another meaningful look before turning around and leaving.
