Lu Huai nodded and sneered: "He still underestimates the heroes of the world. After all, he has never been out of Chang'an and has limited knowledge. He has laid the foundation for his own trouble, thinking that strategizing is so easy to do? If something goes wrong, he will be the first.

This person needs to be convicted! This is taking the initiative to take responsibility, which is extremely stupid!"

His confidant added jealousy beside him and said: "I heard that Yongchang Hou has many talented people under his command, including clouds of military commanders and rain of advisers. If there is any movement, it must have been carefully thought out. After considering everyone's plans, how can he, the Marquis of Dingxiang, be the master?

Come out." After Hua Yi finished speaking, he saw his master frowning.

"What kind of talents are there? Don't talk nonsense like this in the future!" Lu Huai scolded, "Li Huaike has analyzed these words and said that it was because Marquis Yongchang was attracting people's hearts that he rebelled. Today he has another one in front of the officials.

This matter was also mentioned in some discussions..."

The confidant was shocked and quickly made up for it: "It's my subordinate's fault, but since Marquis Dingxiang likes this, why not reveal it..."

"What he said today must not be revealed! Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!" Lu Huai glared at his confidant again, and then directly ordered, regardless of the other party's reaction, "At this time, I have to wait and see what happens, and cannot take the initiative to reveal it. However,

In just one or two days, the situation should change..."

At this point, he sneered.

"Just wait and see his good show! As long as his prediction fails, there will be a backlash, and then it will be time for me to take action. I am asking you to come here now to let you contact our contacts and understand each company.

What do the Si Yamen and the Yamen think of him, Li Huai, and send people to check his schedule and movements in the past few days? After all, Yongchang Marquis has a reputation as the "Qing Jun Side", how can he, Dingxiang Marquis, have nothing to do?

"

The confidant's eyes lit up and he understood: "At this time, under heavy pressure, he will make mistakes. The future will be fatal. Didn't you already arrange for Guo Zhan to go there..."

Heavy pressure?

Lu Huai recalled Li Huai's performance in the imperial study today and couldn't help but raise a question. Would such an arrogant dandy really feel that the situation was tense? When he heard what his confidant said behind him, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"I suspect that Guo Zhan may have been discovered." Lu Huai pondered for a moment before continuing, "Otherwise Li Huai would not show a completely indifferent attitude. In short, we must be careful about these things..."

He gave a few instructions here and then walked out of the secret room with his confidant. However, before he had taken two steps, his confidant came back again and whispered: "Just now, someone sent a message saying that it was a servant of the Liu family who secretly

Contacted the Marquis of Dingxiang."

"A member of the Liu family?" Lu Huai was confused, "This shouldn't be the case. Although the Liu family has nothing to do with the Marquis of Dingxiang, Zheng Sheng, who was stepped on by the Marquis of Dingxiang, is the future uncle of his Liu family, and both parties are considered

With Liang Zi, now everyone avoids suspicion, but his Liu family sent someone over instead?" Then the conversation changed, "Do you know why?"

"Still investigating." The confidant hesitated and asked, "Do I need to ask the Liu family?"

"There is no need for this." Lu Huai shook his head, "Remember what I said, before Li Huai stumbles, we just need to wait and see what happens!"

——————

Snapped!

Amidst the crisp sound, Liu Xi covered his cheek and looked at his father in disbelief.

"Father, I..." After struggling in his heart, he decided to explain his motives clearly.

"You traitor! Do you still want to quibble?" Liu Quan's face became even more angry, "I went out to meet friends. My original intention was to find out what the other friends said, but what happened? They all asked me here if they had any news.

Why did you send someone to contact Marquis Dingxiang privately! It happened to be just when he returned from the palace!"

Liu Xi was stunned, and couldn't help but feel angry. How could he have told him to be secretive and careful, but the result could still be known to others.

"Looking at you like this, I know what you are thinking!" The anger on Liu Quan's face increased to a higher level, "You think you are secretive? You don't even think about it. He, Marquis Dingxiang, is at the center of the storm right now. The whole of Chang'an is...

How many pairs of eyes are staring at him from top to bottom, how could you not know if you sent someone to contact him and still waited outside his house?"

"I..." Liu Xi originally wanted to say that he had asked someone to go to the Judicial Yamen, but after thinking about it again, it seemed that there was no problem. He couldn't help but become frustrated. He just said, "But since Marquis Dingxiang is going to

I went to the palace and came back safe and sound, maybe..."

"Maybe? Maybe!" Liu Quan roared angrily before his son could finish his words, "There are more than a hundred people in our Liu family, how can we take risks just by saying 'maybe'? You

Oh, you are so unimproved..."

On the side, Liu Xin couldn't help but said: "I think the fifth brother was confused for a while, but since he has made a mistake, he should reflect on it. Let him think about it behind closed doors at home. It's better not to show up during this period of time.

Let other families know our attitude."

"I want to think about my mistakes behind closed doors? I..." Liu Xi was unwilling. Just as he was about to argue, Liu Quan had already shaken his head.

"No," Liu Quan looked at the sons in front of him, "He can no longer stay in Chang'an, so he should return to his ancestral homeland."

"How can this be so!" Liu Xiru was struck by lightning, "I can't go back, right, there is a war. Father, the Marquis of Yongchang is about to rebel, and there is chaos outside. If I leave, what will happen to someone on the road?

"

"You asked for it yourself!" Liu Quan waved his sleeves and ordered his servants to come over and take the fifth son into custody, turning a deaf ear to Liu Xi's pleas.

As soon as they left, the Liu family master said to the others: "Now that the matter has happened and everyone knows it, it is not only useless to explain it, but it may offend Dingxianghou Mansion. If there is a change, it will be bad."

, it’s better to wait and see what happens, alas.”

The other sons looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Li Huai took the news from the Liu family and looked over it, with an increasingly surprised expression on his face.

"He actually summarized the public opinion in Chang'an in such detail. Several big families and various forces are involved, and there are even many important yamen. The Liu family is really well-informed, but they sent this at this time.

What means?"

As Li Huai spoke, he turned over another volume and became even more surprised.

"The records related to the Black Cult, my dear, are much more detailed than what I have been looking for in Jingzhao Mansion Yamen these days. The Liu family is really serious about this. It seems that their meaning and attitude are very clear.

You want to take refuge in me, yes, yes, you are discerning!"

Suddenly, he was reborn.

"That's right. If you weren't well-informed and discerning, how could you have picked the original protagonist to be your future son-in-law at a glance? With such insight and courage, it doesn't surprise me at all. It seems that when I see the Liu family in the future

I have to express my closeness to the people, so that others know that I am taking care of the Liu family, so as not to chill people’s hearts, which is also a part of management."

With this in mind, he quickly found a pen and paper and wrote down his new management experience.

Then, I threw away the pen and paper and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's talk about it today, why not ask the Liu family tomorrow for news and reactions from all parties. It would be best to find news about Tongguan, and decide whether to go back and make repairs..."

With this thought, he temporarily put aside all his worries and waited for the results.

As a result, early the next morning, the genius Liu Yi suddenly came to the door and couldn't wait to see Li Huai, who was in a hurry.
