The night in the capital is the busiest time.

There are people coming and going in the market, and laughter and chatter in the restaurant.

The deep house behind Huixian Tower was not as quiet as it used to be. The medicine bowl was smashed on the ground, making harsh sounds.

"My lord!" Zhike looked at Gao Xiaoliu who was sitting on the chair and raised his hand to sweep down the medicine bowl, and shouted, "This is the medicine for the master! You are killing the master!"

Gao Xiaoliu flattened his sleeves and rolled them up, saying: "Momen is going to die, what's the point of father being alive? Why don't we die together?"

He said politely: "My lord, what nonsense are you talking about! The master has been locked here all this time, you can't just blame the master whenever something happens to the Mo family!"

Gao Xiaoliu smiled: "How can I, a son, keep me in prison? My father is so powerful, without Liu Yan, and with the fifth son-in-law, as long as you give some benefits, the royal relatives can also be driven by you. "

What did Zhike want to say, the rich man sitting on the bed spoke.

"Yes, you really can't lock me up, don't be angry, don't think it's unfair, I can't live in vain at such an old age."

As he walked down, Zhike wanted to help him, but he waved his hand to stop him, looking at Gao Xiaoliu with a smile.

"How do you know about the Fifth Prince Consort?"

Gao Xiaoliu sneered: "A foolish son-in-law suddenly found a craftsman who made bird skills, good luck? Didn't he come to Huixianlou every day to eat it?"

The rich man laughed.

"These high-ranking officials mentioned that there are criminals in our Momen." Gao Xiaoliu laughed mockingly, "Facing the benefits of Momen, everyone will not refuse."

The rich man smiled and nodded: "My Momen is the most precious treasure in the world. They don't admit it, but they know it in their hearts." Speaking of this, he looked at Gao Xiaoliu, "Compared with Momen, my life is nothing. If I die I am willing to die if I can change Momen’s vitality, but can I get it in exchange after I die? No, similarly, can repairing the Great Wall in the northern border bring Momen’s life back? I don’t think so either!”

He stood up and walked to the desk.

"Also, although I don't agree with the construction of the Great Wall in the Northern Territory, but since it has already started to be built, so many Mohists will come and go, I will not stop it anymore, otherwise it will be the Mohist people who will hurt the foundation of my Mohist sect."

So is that why he seems to be able to hold him?Gao Xiaoliu looked at his father.

"But it can't work now." The rich man said in a deep voice, "Didn't Liu Yan tell you? The Beihai Navy is going to be reorganized, and the new general has been transferred. There will be no Beihai Navy in the future."

Of course, Liu Yan said about this matter, and Liu Yan didn't even need to say it. Before it was confirmed, when the report of the Northern Territory Battle came, he became wary and immediately began to transfer supplies.

But still didn't avoid it, and was still trapped.

"It's the northern border that needs the Great Wall of the Northern Territory." Gao Xiaoliu gritted his teeth and said, "It's not any army, any general!"

The rich man said coldly: "No, only the emperor needs it. At this moment, the emperor doesn't need the name Beihai, let alone the new generals. What they need is to clear everything related to Beihai! The Great Wall of the Northern Territory was built by Momen, and it was an agreement with Liangsi back then, what do you think will happen to the Great Wall of the Northern Territory in the future?"

Gao Xiaoliu didn't speak.

"The Great Wall in the Northern Territory must be cleaned up." The rich man's voice echoed in the room, mixed with anger, "The Mo people will either be imprisoned or flee in a hurry. This is the life you said the leader brought Momen to get!"

Accompanied by the speech, there was another crackling sound.

The rich man threw the teacup on the table to the ground.

"When the Beihai Navy moves and the new general moves, the government along the northern border will inevitably move too. There will be inspections and questioning everywhere, and none of your supplies will escape!"

"I'm going to take action now and let the fifth son-in-law investigate and deal with it in the name of Gongzao. This is to save Momen!"

Having said that, he reached out and knocked Gao Xiaoliu on the head.

"Son, you are dissatisfied with your father and I don't help you. You want your father's life. I don't blame you for being rebellious, but you want your father's life because your father saved Momen. You are really unreasonable!"

Gao Xiaoliu grabbed the rich man's hand.

"The world is always full of accidents." He looked at the rich man, "You can't just put yourself in prison just because of an accident, and when encountering an accident, what we have to do is to work together to tide over the difficulties, not like father, just gloat and walk away. Stabbing a knife in the back! You talk about Momen, but you don’t look like a Mohist at all!”

After finishing speaking, he shook off the rich man's hand, got up and strode away.

"Son—"

"Leave him!"

The door opened and closed, sealing off the rear.

Gao Xiaoliu strode along the path, saw the noisy night ahead, stopped again, stood in the darkness and sighed softly.

"My lord, what should we do now?" the servant asked softly behind him.

"Has the news been delivered?" Gao Xiaoliu asked, and nodded before waiting for the boy to answer, "Even if it hasn't been delivered yet, there must be a problem over there."

The servant said in a low voice, "This time it's really difficult. The government came forward to seize the supplies. The Beihai Navy was too busy to take care of themselves, and they got new recruits. Besides, it's for building the Great Wall, so it's useless."

Gao Xiaoliu didn't speak, but suddenly asked, "What's the move of Duchasi?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, why did he suddenly mention Duchasi?
Gao Xiaoliu snorted: "What is my father so proud of? No one is here!"

Miss Seven Star is still Huo Lian's pet!

In the imperial city shrouded in night, the gates of the palace were closed layer by layer, and the guards patrolled the palace layer by layer. When they saw a group of people walking from the palace, the guards did not ask questions, but respectfully saluted.

"Deputy Envoy Zhu."

Zhu Chuan turned a blind eye to them and strode forward with his saber in hand, talking to Ducha Si Bingwei beside him.

"Did the letter arrive in time?" he asked.

Bingwei nodded: "It's not too early, not too late, one step earlier than the Xuanzhi eunuch."

As he spoke, he quickly walked to the gate of the imperial city, where another soldier and guard galloped over and jumped off his horse.

"My lord," he said, handing over a letter, "a letter from the governor."

A surprised smile appeared on Zhu Chuan's face: "It's so fast!" He quickly took it, and stopped to open the letter by the light of the city gate.

Huo Lian's letter was very simple, only one line.

"Accompany the generals of the Liang family to Beijing."

Zhu Chuan immediately lowered his face: "Isn't it going to be a long time before I come back? How slow are you walking with them, those guys will definitely delay."

The soldier on the side smiled and said, "It is because of the delay that the governor has to watch in person."

Zhu Chuan smiled again: "Yes, no one is more dedicated to your majesty than the governor." After saying that, he turned around and turned back, "I will tell your majesty the good news."

In the middle of the night, only the people from Duchasi can enter and leave the palace at will. It used to be Huo Lian, but now it is Zhu Chuan.

"Since I received the letter, I will reply to the governor immediately." Zhu Chuan said as he walked, "Your Majesty said it, and we will talk about it when we come back."

I haven't seen His Majesty yet, but Zhu Chuan also knows the emperor very well. Maybe the emperor will order the governor to write a letter and send it out a moment earlier, and the governor will receive it a moment earlier. The soldiers and guards turned around and left in response.

Zhu Chuan put away the letter, stuffed it into his cuff, and fastened the arrow sleeve.

Come back and talk about big things.
Come back and talk about it, the big thing is no longer a big thing.

When the sky is bright, although the plaques of Lu’s residence in the capital are still brand new, the servants inside act with restraint. There are several people in a single garden, some sweeping, some trimming branches and leaves, and some cleaning the fish pond. .

Lu Yizhi stood on the attic to admire the morning scenery, described a few strokes on the easel beside him, and then told the servant.

"Dry it, frame it, and send it to Mr. Wu's mansion, and ask him to inscribe it."

The boy asked, "Is the retouching fee still the same?"

Lu Yizhi glanced at the painting and said, "Master Wu is going to release it recently, and there are many places that need money. Give me an extra bag."

One bag or two bags, it doesn't matter to the Lu family, it's just throwing it out to make friends, the little boy answered yes with a smile.

"It's different." Master Lu came from downstairs.

Lu Yizhi hurriedly called his father.

"Do you really want us to go back? Can you do it alone in this capital?" Master Lu said.

Lu Yizhi smiled and said, "I can do it even when it's the most difficult time. Now that I'm getting promoted step by step, my father can rest assured."

Master Lu twisted his beard, his expression hard to hide his complacency, and said: "It's because you are getting promoted every step of the way that your mother and I want to help out more, not to mention the others, those who come to propose marriage."

Just as Lu Yizhi reassured them, whether it's the entanglement with Xiahou's family or being robbed of his fiancée by Huo Lian, it's not a big deal, and it won't affect his future. Sure enough, after a few months, the matter gradually calmed down. In addition, Lu Yizhi was reused by His Majesty and often accompanied him, so many people came to kiss him.

Mrs. Lu was about to pick a wife, but Lu Yizhi asked them to go back to their hometown.

"The current marriage is not a good relationship." Lu Yizhi said, "They are just speculators who are greedy for my promising future, and taking advantage of our marriage's disadvantages."

Master Lu thought thoughtfully: "It's really not a very good family."

"But it's not easy to offend, so parents, please avoid it and go home. I can also excuse them because my parents are not here." Lu Yizhi said, and smiled again, "Father, don't worry, when I go to the next level, there will be more people. For a better marriage, please invite your parents to Beijing."

Speaking of going to a higher level, Master Lu thought of something, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Huo Lian is coming back."

And I heard that he won the battle.

Wouldn't that be more important to His Majesty?
Lu Yizhi said: "He is valued by His Majesty, and he is also trapped by His Majesty, so as an official of the court, I will not be trapped by him, father rest assured." He paused here, smiled, "And, his good life Not much left."

Beihai is finally about to be cleared by His Majesty.

Even if Huo Lian changed her name and surname, she still bears the brand of Beihai in the eyes of the emperor. Once something happened, people cannot escape and will be trapped eventually. Therefore, it won't take long for Huo Lian to be eliminated.

Moreover, the day when Huo Lian was eliminated was also the day when he, Lu Yizhi, would shine. The emperor used him just for this moment.

Of course, his life is not limited to this moment. A scholar, a student of the emperor, a civil servant, his life officially begins from this moment.

"Sir, are you going to the imperial city today?" Back at the residence, the servants asked respectfully, "Do you want to prepare chariots and horses?"

Lu Yizhi shook his head: "I'm not going out today. I have a few articles to sort out. Your Majesty is waiting for them." After saying that, he walked to the study, "I don't see any guests today, so don't bother me."

The boys responded and watched Lu Yizhi enter the study. They retreated to the surroundings and stood quietly.

The study room is wide and open, with three rooms open, and the bookshelves fully cover half of the room.

Lu Yizhi walked across the bookshelf to the book case, and suddenly stopped, looking at the bookshelf from the corner of his eye.

There is a woman standing among the bookshelves holding a book, and the sunlight shines on her through the bookshelf. She is dressed in a green shirt and long skirt, as beautiful as bamboo, with black hair and jade skin, shining brightly.

She seemed to be reading carefully, looked up at Lu Yizhi, and praised, "This book is a treasure."

Lu Yizhi had no doubts about whether books were treasures, and he, Lu Yizhi, would not buy imitations or mediocre ones.

But at this moment, he just wanted to know whether the person in front of him was real or an illusion.

"You..." He took a step back, "Seven Stars?"

Qi Xing looked at him and smiled: "What? Long time no see, the third son doesn't recognize his dead wife anymore?"
