On the way back, Zhu Jingfeng asked Wanhou, "Why did your father keep detaining Mrs. Lu? This is not like his style. If you have a quarrel with Lu Zhan because of this, it would be a loss and you will be in trouble."

Wanhou looked calm, "I can't figure it out, either. Could it be that General Lu was not moving at the border for a long time, and was afraid that he would have a strange intention, so he wanted to use Mrs. Lu as a hostage to threaten him?"

"It's not a big deal. If you want to rob someone, why would you leave Mrs. Lu alone? In this way, you can send someone to the border to inquire about the news and see what's going on now in Lu Zhan and his son."

"But the prince, there was a military newspaper that had just been sent back a while ago, saying that Beilie was preparing to withdraw his troops, and the emperor planned to let General Lu come back."

"It is always inconvenient for people in the army to have no one in ours. Forget it, the journey to the border is long, and there is no time to prepare for anything. The most important thing now is the Imperial Guards, and they must ensure that they are all our people. There is another thing. After thinking about it, I think it is better to take precautions in advance."

"What is the prince's pointing to?"

The gate of the royal palace was about to come, Zhu Jingfeng got off the horse and said as he walked, "You can send me a letter to Miss Shui, and you must deliver it to her in person."

Wanhou's eyes flashed and he nodded his head to command.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Xu Shuang hurriedly ran towards him, "Cousin, cousin, something happened."

Zhu Jingfeng's face darkened, "You are the princess, pay attention to your words and deeds. Also, since you have become my princess, should you change this title?"

Xu Shuang was stunned. She never thought that Zhu Jingfeng would scold her in front of the servant, and her face suddenly looked ugly. She finally endured the annoyance in her chest and gritted her teeth to salute Zhu Jingfeng, "The prince is back, it's Shuang'er who is rude. Please punish him."

Zhu Jingfeng knew that Xu Shuang couldn't swallow this, but he had made the biggest concession and did not want to continue to let him go. "Please pay attention next time, what happened?"

Xu Shuang felt extremely hated, and still smiled on her face. She followed Zhu Jingfeng into the yard, "I just got the news that the head of the Cangmo Sect and the four main hall masters were all killed."

Zhu Jingfeng suddenly stopped, "What? Is the news true?"

"It was sent by my junior sister of my family. I guess it's already spread. It is said that many people gathered in Cangmo City and even started a gambling game to bet on whether the phoenix demon girl could kill Mo Shuzi."

Zhu Jingfeng frowned, interrupting Xu Shuang's topic of going away again, "Is it sure that it was the Feng Demon Girl?"

"It should be the witch who can destroy the five major sects in such a short time. Now people in the world are discussing uniting to kill the witch, but no one has seen what she looks like so far. This time she has her helpers when she entered the Cangmo Sect."

"helper?"

"Yes, there were four people in total. The witch seemed to be injured and rescued by a masked man, and two masked accomplices."

"The entire Cangmo Sect failed to catch anyone?"

"Uh, according to legend, the martial arts of that witch is unmatched, it is very powerful, I'm afraid it's now..."

"Okay, I get it, you go back."

Xu Shuang's words were interrupted by Zhu Jingfeng again, and she was so angry that she pinched the brocade handkerchief and kept her gentle attitude, "That's the face... Isn't the prince still resting? The weather is getting late."

"I still have political affairs to deal with, so I won't go tonight. You go to bed first. Wanhou, follow me to the study."

Xu Shuang looked at Zhu Jingfeng's back as he walked farther and stomped her feet, shouting at Madam Xu behind her, "Daily study, study, study, study, and study, those who don't know think that the person he likes is Wanhou."

Madam Xu was frightened by Xu Shuang's words and quickly grabbed her, "Princess, please go back quickly. Didn't you suffer from the heat in front of you? It would be better to take a break earlier."

Xu Shuang shook her sleeves, left Madam Xu and walked straight to the backyard. Madam Xu's face turned pale and followed her in a tone.

Zhu Jingfeng returned to the study and wrote a letter to Wanhou, "Make sure to hand it over to Miss Shui in person."

Wanhou solemnly took it and stuffed it into his arms, and set off for Huizhou overnight.

When Wanhou went to Huizhou, a group of merchants came to a small town in Xigan and Dongwei. There were more than 20 people dressed simply. The leader was a strong man with a beard, who was jogging all year round. He had a son with handsome eyebrows and eyes. Although he was wearing a coarse linen, he was full of gentle temperament and his words and deeds were very reasonable, which made the daughter of the tea stall owner peek frequently.

But this team of people was very alert. If anyone looked at it twice, someone would immediately stare at it with fierce eyes. Such a large group of people and horses were dragging a lot of goods. On the surface, they did look like passing merchants, but the guards with swords and swords made people smell a bit unusual.

"Heng'er, are you full? We'll continue to rush our way after we're full."

The person who spoke was Lu Zhan, the general of Xigan's protection country, and the young man next to him was naturally the eldest son of the Lu family and Lu Qingyao's brother Lu Qingheng.

Lu Qingheng is much stronger than one year ago, with less tenderness between his eyebrows and eyes, more perseverance, and more sorrow.

After swallowing the last bite of yellow-faced steamed bun, Lu Qingheng stood up with a faint expression, "I'll eat it."

"Okay, then let's go."

Lu Zhan joined hands and followed a group of people behind him. The weapons were rubbing against each other, so scaring the tourists around him to hide behind.

When he got on the road, Lu Qingheng still said nothing, looking out the window with empty eyes.

Lu Zhan sighed and said with a vicissitudes of emotion, "Heng'er, are you still blaming your father?"

Lu Qingheng pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Oh, Dad has told you many times. Dad has his own reason for doing this. You will understand my hard work in the future."

This sentence suddenly broke out, and Lu Qingheng roared with red eyes, "Take painstaking efforts? What are your efforts? Did you make private transactions with the enemy and the country? Or did you leave the military camp without imperial edict? Dad, have you ever thought about the Lu family when you made these decisions? Have you ever thought about the mother and younger brothers and sisters still in Liuli City? What do you want? What do you want to do?"

Lu Qingheng said heartbrokenly and punched the carriage with one punch.

Lu Zhan took off his shawl and threw it aside, slowly tore off the fake beard stuck to his face, ignored Lu Qingheng's hysteria, calmly sorted out his clothes and leaned on the carriage, and said calmly, "The general is outside, the king's will not be able to accept it. There is no war on the front line, but the emperor is reluctant to recall us. Do you know why? This battle could have been avoided, but my Lu family's 200,000 troops were exhausted and left their homeland, and came thousands of miles away, just because of his own selfish desires. What he wanted to kill is not only you, my father and son, but also 200,000 Lu family troops. I gave in and fought for their Zhu family for a lifetime, and in the end he would kill me. Heng'er, do you still have to sit and wait for death as a father? Do you still have to be loyal to send the lives of the whole family to satisfy his suspicion?"

"But you...you can't collude with foreign enemies and sell your country for honor."

"How did I collude with foreign enemies to sell the country for honor? I just reached an agreement with Beilie, which would be a ceasefire, mutual benefit, and both sides benefit. Since no one could be the pawn of the horse who massacred the Eastern Wei Dynasty, why would I use the life of my Lu family army to pave the way for him? He would also shoot a cold arrow for me from behind. Heng'er, all of this was forced by him, we had no choice, I was just protecting myself."

"But you have a grudge against Emperor Beilie to kill his son. If you don't agree to him, how could he agree to cooperate with you?"

Lu Zhan sneered, "Emperor Beilie has more than a dozen sons. Will he care about one or two of them? And in the eyes of the Beilie people, a prince who cannot win a victory, will he be defeated by a prince who will be embarrassed by the emperor, and it is better to die on the battlefield. Furthermore, Heng'er, remember that there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests."
