After Goryeo resumed the parliament completely destroyed, Li Zhen was summoned by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian praised him for being the leader of the inner guard, with great courage and ability, and rewarded him with a pair of white jade.

Although Li Zhen received extremely high praise in the court and the public for this incident, Li Zhen realized some implicit comments. First, Shangguan Wan'er remained silent and did not make any comments on the resumption of Goryeo's parliament. Secondly, Wu Zetian did not summon Wu Sansi, as if Wu Sansi had nothing to do with this matter.

These seemingly inconspicuous things hide an indescribable scheming, and only the person involved can feel it slightly.

However, Li Zhen did not have the energy to carefully savor Wu Zetian or Shangguan Wan'er's scheming, and another unexpected thing suddenly appeared in his face.

In the Zuobank tavern, Li Zhen and Zhang Li sat in a stool. They did not eat. Although there were some wine and food on the table, their performance was very different. Li Zhen was drinking leisurely and savoring the taste of the wine. Zhang Li seemed a little restless. He stood by the wall and pressed his ear against the wall, as if listening to the conversation next door.

There was also an elegant room next door. There were three people sitting in the room. Jiuzhi was so focused that he forgot to drink the wine he held in his hands. Li Pan looked sympathetic and sat opposite the two of them. He was a thin man wearing a short cloth jacket and an old scarf on his head. From a distance, he looked like a rural farmer who went to the city to sell vegetables. But if he came here, he would definitely jump up in shock. This person was Soying who was almost beaten to death by him.

The reason why So Ying finally made him sit here was something that happened the night before yesterday. The beloved woman he had just taken back from Lai Feng was given to Liu Guang by Lai Junchen.

While being extremely angry, he also understood something. Lai Junchen did not take their brothers seriously at all. Lai Junchen didn't know the relationship between Xiaoyun and him, but he gave her to Liu Guangye without hesitation. I'm afraid that in Lai Junchen's eyes, their Sophora brothers were just two dogs.

It was precisely because of his complete despair that he finally decided to take revenge on Lai Junchen. At noon, he dressed up as a rural farmer and came to Luoyang to find Li Pan.

The inner guards are the world of their Dunhuang clan. Several lieutenants were from Dunhuang. The So-so brothers had a very good relationship with Li Pan. Although Li Pan played tricks on Li Zhen’s secret hiding, So-ying didn’t know that his relationship with Li Pan was better than his brother.

But there was another Jiuzhi at the party tonight, which was also So Ying's request. He knew the relationship between Jiuzhi and Li Zhen because he didn't want to face it directly with Li Zhen for the time being. He invited Jiuzhi, which was also a very good bridge. Moreover, in Dunhuang, he also grew up with Jiuzhi. Although the two of them had no good relationship, they knew each other well and were very familiar with each other.

Soying drank the glass of wine and said hatefully: "I, Soying, have liked a woman in my life, but he first indulged my nephew to take her away. Now she finally returned to me, so he gave her to Liu Guangye again. This is my great humiliation. I, Soying, must avenge this hatred."

Jiu Zhi heard it a little impatiently and said, "I said Erlang, I can understand your feelings of revenge. We Dunhuang brothers are willing to help you, but you have to tell me how we can help you? Should we assassinate Lai Junchen, or just take your woman back?"

"Thank you, Fat Brother"

So Ying sighed, "Lai Junchen is not so easy to deal with. I know Lai Junchen is secretly investigating Commander Li. In fact, I also know a little about Lai Junchen's secret. I hope you can help you. As long as Commander Li knocks down Lai Junchen, not only will I get avenge, but our Suo family can also be freed from Lai Junchen's clutches."

"oh--"

Jiu Zhi said a long time and stood up and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go to the thatched house to throw a thread."

He turned around and opened the door and went out. So Ying said to Li Pan again: "Brother Pan, do you think Li Zhen will let us brothers go?"

"This is to be seen. He is a person with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. If you are sincere and do help him, I think he will consider it at his discretion."

Soying nodded silently and sighed again: "It depends on what I can help him."

Jiu Zhi didn't go to the cottage, so he got into the next door and said excitedly: "Old Li, this kid Soying wants to rebel, it's an opportunity."

Li Zhen said without saying a word: "Why did he want to rebel against Junchen?"

Jiu Zhi took Junchen's anger on So Ying because of Zhuang Wenzhong's robbery, and gave his beloved woman to Liu Guangye. He said it all in detail and finally said: "Old Li, I know very well what So Ying has been since childhood. If you expect him to be loyal to Lai Junchen, it would be a dream. I think he really wants to betray Lai Junchen, and there will be no falsehood."

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "You go back and tell him that you will report to me before you know what he can do. You can make another appointment. Don't worry about this matter, I want to investigate it."

Jiuzhi hurriedly said, "If you want to investigate, I have a wide range of information and many ways to find out if what he said is true."

"You go back and talk to him first, and I'll tell you what you need to investigate when you look back?"

Jiuzhi agreed and hurried back. At this time, Zhang Li said to Li Zhen: "I think this Soying is really dissatisfied with Lai Junchen. Although he is disgusting, he is not as scheming as Sowen. He is straight and it is difficult for him to disguise him."

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Actually, I understand it in my heart, but it's better to be cautious about this matter. We must investigate it clearly. I can't easily reveal my goals to him.

"Which aspect is the commander going to investigate the authenticity of him?"

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "I want to start investigating the woman So Ying likes."

Li Zhen has not returned to his mansion for this period. Since his eldest sister was sent to Mingxiu Villa, he has been living in the inner and outer offices of the inner and outer offices and left the Left Bank Restaurant. Li Zhen and Zhang Li returned to the inner and outer offices of the inner and outer offices together.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate, a soldier ran out and whispered to Li Zhen. Li Zhen frowned, "How long has he been here?"

“It’s been about a quarter of an hour.”

Li Zhen turned around and said to Zhang Li: "I guess there is something new, so you can come together."

Li Zhen quickly walked to the inner hall. Li Chongrun, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea, quickly stood up. There was a middle-aged man sitting next to him, and he seemed very nervous.

"Let the eldest son wait for a long time"

Li Zhen walked into the inner hall with a smile. He saw the middle-aged man and felt that he had never seen him before. He asked, "What is this?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed and said, "I am the butler of the Yifeng Prince's Mansion, whose surname is Liu, and whose name is Liu Changqing. See Commander Li."

"Is it...Li Guangshun?" Li Zhen asked hesitantly.

“It’s right”

Li Chongrun next to him said, "Butler Liu came to me just now and told me something. I thought something was wrong, so I took him to find the commander to see if I was overly worried."

"Please sit down and talk about it."

Li Zhen asked the two of them to sit down, let Zhang Li sit beside him, and ordered the warrior to serve tea. Li Zhen then asked Liu Changqing, "What strange thing happened?"

Liu Changqing was so upset that he hurriedly said, "That's right, my prince's favorite concubine has a brother named Yu Ming--"

Liu Changqing said in detail about the fact that Yu Ming had received two hundred taels of gold this morning, and finally said: "I went to investigate again and found the store where he bought the pipa, but found that the store had closed and there were not even people looking at the store. I asked the people from the next store again. They said that some men in black came yesterday and took away the store owner and several friends."

"Who are those men in black?" Li Zhen asked again.

Liu Changqing hesitated and said, "I can't be sure. The shop next door said that one of them looks a bit like Lai Junchen."

Li Zhen and Zhang Li looked at each other, and they realized that something was wrong at the same time. I am afraid that Lai Junchen had already stared at Li Guangshun. Li Zhen knew that everyone in the world knew Lai Junchen, and most people in Luoyang knew him. Although Liu Changqing said he was not sure, it was just a bit scared statement, and it must be Lai Junchen.

"Did you tell Your Highness Yifeng about this?" Li Zhen asked again.

"I wanted to tell him, but the prince was angry with me today and said that I was thinking all day long, but how could a person get two hundred taels of gold for no reason? I think there must be something wrong with it."

"So you found the eldest son?"

"Yes, I don't think the eldest son is as confused as my prince."

Li Zhen pondered for a while and asked again: "What does this Yu Ming want to do?"

"He wanted the prince to go to the manor to escape the summer heat tomorrow. He originally decided to set off again in ten days, but the prince was convinced by his beloved concubine Yu and he would set off tomorrow. I was worried that someone would be unfavorable to the prince on the way."

Li Zhen did not think and said nothing. He knew that Lai Junchen had not had much time and could not wait for another ten days. Perhaps he really wanted to intercept Li Guangshun on the road. At this time, Li Zhen suddenly remembered something and said to Li Chongrun: "Sir, please come here and say something."

Li Zhen invited Li Chongrun aside. Before Li Zhen could speak, Li Chongrun smiled bitterly and said, "Li Guangrun is the eldest son of the former crown prince, and he is also a gold medal."

"The eldest son knows what I'm going to ask?"

Li Chongrun nodded, "Actually, I am very worried about this, so I brought Butler Liu to the commander."

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "It is not appropriate for the eldest son to stay in the inner guard all the time. I will take this housekeeper Liu back first. I will consider how to deal with this matter."

Li Chongrun said goodbye and left. Zhang Li smiled and said, "Since I heard it, let me guard this Li Guangshun."

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Of course, but you have to protect yourself in secret. It is best not to let Li Guangshun and Lai Junchen know about your existence."

"I'll go and arrange it"

Zhang Li also went down. Li Zhen walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. He felt that he needed someone with high light skills. At this time, he immediately thought of Di Yan.

Before dawn the next day, the door of the Yifeng Prince's Mansion in the Xiuxingfang opened wide, and more than a dozen carriages loaded with large and small bags drove out of the mansion. Dozens of royal guards followed him to protect Li Guangshun and his family to go to the manor to escape the summer heat.

The manor is actually not far away. It is located in the Longmen area of ​​Yique County, twenty miles south of Luoyang. It can be arrived at noon. Because it takes until the beginning of autumn to escape the summer heat, most of the servants and maids also go with them.

When Liu Changqing stayed to visit the house of the house, but this year the third housekeeper Yu Ming volunteered to stay. Li Guangshun agreed to his request and asked Liu Changqing to go to the manor as well, and asked Yu Ming to stay and guard the house. Although Liu Changqing was unwilling, he had no choice but to follow Li Guangshun's carriage and leave Luoyang.

On the steps, Yu Ming watched the carriage convoy gradually fade away, and a hint of unconcealed pride surged on his face. He was almost done with the task assigned to him by Lai Junchen, and he was still one last step away, and then he could enjoy the glory and wealth of the rest of his life.
