I don't know why, but he always feels a little uneasy today.

"Come here, go to Liu Mansion in the capital and see if there's anything going on there."

"Yes!" Although the guard was a little confused, he still took the order and left.

Nowadays, the gates of the capital are closed after nightfall, but with the power of the Liu family, it is not difficult to send one or two people in.

Not long after the guard left, someone suddenly came to report: "To the leader of the army, General Lu He of the left guard wants to see you."

Liu Ji was stunned, thinking that he was not in the palace in the middle of the night, so why did he come here? Could something really happen in the capital?

"Please come quickly." Naturally, he did not dare to neglect. Although his military position was higher than that of Lu He, Lu He was in charge of half of the palace's forbidden army. He was extremely independent and did not have to listen to his orders.

What's more, Lu He is also the brother of Eunuch Lu, and Eunuch Lu is the most trusted eunuch of the Queen Mother. This relationship makes him feel cordial.

"Why did General Lu come to visit late at night?" Liu Ji greeted Lu He warmly after he arrived.

Lu He smiled: "There is nothing we can do. The Queen Mother has something to do and summons the Third Master to the palace. The general has no choice but to go there in person."

"The Queen Mother is looking for me?" Liu Ji was startled, wondering why he hadn't heard anything about it before. "Does General Lu know what's going on?"

Lu He shook his head: "How can we, the subordinates, dare to speculate randomly about the Queen Mother's thoughts? Third Master, please leave quickly. Don't keep the Queen Mother waiting."

Liu Ji thought to himself, could it be the things the Queen Mother said a few days ago, worrying that there is something strange happening in the capital, let us keep an eye on it?

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment, General Lu. I will arrange everything in the military camp and then leave."

"This is natural." Lu He did not rush, and ran outside to wait in a sensible manner.

Liu Ji then summoned his trusted generals and asked them to stay at the camp and be careful to prevent this.

When those people learned that Liu Ji was going to the palace late at night, they all advised:

"Master leader, be careful of fraud."

"Indeed, when the Queen Mother has something to do, she can't be summoned, but she has to be summoned late at night?"

"This matter is full of weirdness, so we must be on guard against it."

…

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Actually, when I heard the news at the beginning, I also had these concerns, but the person who came over was General Lu Helu, so all my concerns were dispelled. As for the person who is most loyal to the Queen Mother in the world, he is

Eunuch Lu is the only one. The relationship between brothers Lu He and Eunuch Lu has always been very good, how could he harm me?"

After hearing what he said, everyone could not refute.

Eunuch Lu is recognized as the loyal dog around the Queen Mother, and the Lu family and the Liu family have always had a good relationship. There is really nothing to be prepared for when the other party comes in person.

So Liu Ji quickly took a small number of his cronies and followed Lu He towards the capital.

Lu He talked and laughed with him along the way, and they were having a good time.

After a while, Liu Ji suddenly looked around and saw that everything was remote and desolate, obviously far away from the residential roads in the suburbs: "Hey, this doesn't seem to be the way back to Beijing."

"The city gate is closed after nightfall. There is a trail here that is faster." Lu He replied.

Liu Ji stopped walking forward, and instead fell into deep thought. He was not stupid, he just believed in Lu He too much before, but now he realized that something was wrong.

Seeing this, Lu He couldn't help but sigh: "Of the three brothers of the Liu family, only the third master is really talented. If I hadn't personally taken action, I might not have been able to deal with you so easily."

Liu Ji's expression changed: "Lu He, why did you betray the Queen Mother?"

"Let's study this slowly when Third Master goes to the underworld." Lu He's face was still smiling for a second, but now it was extremely cold, "Do it!"

The soldiers under him were already prepared, and they drew their weapons and slashed at Liu Ji's soldiers.

There were only a few of Liu Ji's men, and the enemy was very well-intentioned. How could they react? Most of them died in one encounter.

…

Not long after, Liu Ji was covered in blood. He could only keep himself from falling by hitting the ground with the knife in his hand. He looked at Lu He bitterly: "You traitors, I won't let you go when the regent comes back."

He knew in his heart that Lu He had rebelled, and Eunuch Lu probably had some problems, so if the Queen Mother didn't know about it, the consequences would be much worse.

The other party must have other arrangements. I'm afraid the Liu family is really doomed this time. The only one they can count on now is the regent Zu An.

It's ridiculous that the eldest brother and the second brother actually wanted to cut off from the regent. I don't know what they thought.

"Prince Regent, there has been no news for so long. I'm afraid he has died in the place where the demon clan sealed him." Lu He didn't take it seriously. He flashed his sword and chopped off Liu Ji's head.

And to say the least, even if the regent comes back, they are not afraid. They still have the queen here. With the relationship between the queen and him, shouldn't Zu An have no choice but to accept the reality?

However, no one in the capital knew at this time that this incident was the prelude to chaos in the world.

…

"Ah sneeze!"

On the shore of the East China Sea, Zu An rubbed his nose and muttered: "Who is thinking of me?"

At this time, he was wearing a disguise mask on his face. It was not because he was afraid of the Sea Clan, but because he was now the regent of both the Demon Clan and the Human Clan. He suddenly appeared on the Sea Clan's territory and was worried about causing quite a disturbance.

When the time comes, most officials from all levels of the Hai Tribe along the way will come to greet him.

And now he is anxious to find the dragon elixir to save Qiu Honglei, unwilling to take any risks or waste time.

He came to a small island off the coast. There was a restaurant there. He had heard the Little Demon Queen and Shang Liuyu mention it before. If you want to go to the sea tribe, you have to go to this kind of restaurant first. They have special trips to the sea every once in a while.

ship.

He raised his head and looked at the restaurant in front of him. Compared with the splendid restaurants in the capital and even Mingyue City, this restaurant is too simple. It is difficult to call it a restaurant. To be precise, it should be called a wine shop.

"Have I grown up? One chapter is equivalent to almost 4 chapters before...

In addition, I saw some readers saying that the protagonist knew that something was going on in the capital, so why did he go to the sea clan? The key is that he didn’t know that something was going on in the capital, he just received some news that there might be some undercurrents in the capital, but from his perspective, the Queen Mother and the
