The rising sun is rising, and the small town is gradually becoming lively.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lu Zhe stuffed a letter into his sleeve, got up and walked over.

As soon as the door opened, Rong Yuanlang, who was standing outside, saw Lu Zhe dressed in neat clothes and even his sword was hanging around his waist. He was stunned for a moment, "You have gotten up long ago? Why didn't you go there? We thought you had overslept. Hurry up, my sister made breakfast myself, I don't have a meal late!"

"Thank you, brother Afu." Lu Zhe thanked her and called her brother, but his body was very honest. He walked over Rong Yuanlang and rushed towards the courtyard where Su Mo and Yuanqiu were...

Rong Yuen Long:...This guy is getting more and more naive...

When Lu Zhe and Rong Yuanlang entered the hall, they smelled the familiar aroma of clear porridge and side dishes, which made everyone who had been on the road for several days and had a good time with food and accommodation suddenly felt like they were back home.

Lu Zhe sat down, took the porridge handed over by Yuan Qiu, picked up the spoon and took a sip, and sighed comfortably, "I really want to go back."

After leaving the Rong family, Lu Zhe realized more and more that the warmth and care that the family brought him could not be replaced by any benefit.

"Everyone has worked hard these days. Although I can't go back for the time being, I can relax a little." Yuan Qiu smiled.

"Qingfeng..." Qingyun blurted out, feeling a little disappointed, so she didn't continue.

Yuan Qiu's expression did not change, "It's okay, I just hope everyone can calm down and have a good meal. Let's discuss how to act next. Even if the sky falls, you have to eat and sleep. Don't be impatient, don't be rash, and make plans and move."

"Yes, the lady is right." Qingyun nodded. After becoming a fake emperor of Nanzhao for more than a year, his temperament became more and more steady. No matter how you look at it, you won't think that he was once the guardian of Qingming Tower.

Before Qingyun returned to Wan'an City, Rong Yuancheng mentioned to Su Mo and Yuanqiu that when Qingyun came back, if he wanted, he would be the prime minister of Dongming Kingdom.

With Qingyun's mind and experience, as well as his experience in handling political affairs in Nanzhao, he was able to maintain a high position in the replacement of imperial power because of his family's personal relationship with Yuan Qiu, but after experiencing the storm of Meng Xian, Prime Minister Meng was exhausted and became interested in resigning. His son and son-in-law were all promising and no longer needed to rely on him to protect him. He also felt that he was far inferior to Rong Yuancheng in political views. The Rong family has so many outstanding young talents. Prime Minister Meng is a knowledgeable person, so he mentioned to Rong Yuancheng that he wanted to resign and take care of his old mother and take care of his grandson.

Rong Yuancheng had already agreed at that time, but he just said that in a few days, he would officially announce it when he found a suitable replacement.

Yuan Qiu made a home-cooked breakfast, and the meal was very lively. Rong Yuanlang and Qingting, two young men, had several rounds of chopstick battles for the last bun. As a result, Lu Zhe did not talk about martial arts and launched a sneak attack. He snatched away and bitten it. Rong Yuanlang and Qingting kicked several times under the table.

Lu Zhe finished eating the buns as if nothing had happened, put down his chopsticks gracefully, took out a light blue veil, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked at Yuan Qiu, "Cousin, have to send someone home to report safety, right? The whole family is very worried about you. Only when you know you are fine will you feel at ease with us."

Yuan Qiu nodded, "Of course. But we have to wait a moment. We will discuss the general plan ahead first and then send someone back."

The dishes were removed and the tea set was replaced.

Su Mo brewed tea with a serious expression. Yuan Qiu remembered that Lu Zhe said yesterday that he had thought of a solution, so he asked him if he could tell.

Lu Zhe himself forgot it, and heard Yuan Qiu ask, he was stunned for a moment, "That..."

"Whoever is surnamed Lu, you just brag, right?" Rong Yuanlang hummed softly, not forgetting the revenge of stealing buns.

Lu Zhe didn't care about Rong Yuanlang's complaints and said seriously, "I didn't think of a solution to the problem. After all, the troubles we are facing now are very complicated and cannot be settled in one go. I just had an idea at that time."

"Cousin, don't keep it aside," said Yuan Qiu.

"Where is Chu Jun?" Lu Zhe asked.

Rong Yuanlang said Chu Jun was staying in a room he arranged.

Lu Zhe said, "I thought of my cousin's two-month hostage exchange agreement with Su Yan. If the hostage exchange goes well, Su Yan will definitely fight back frantically. I don't believe she will not tamper with it during this period. When she saves her son, she will be unscrupulous and can force her cousin to submit if she catches an innocent person. That would be too passive."

"So what exactly are your thoughts?" Rong Yuanlong urged.

"I think it is necessary to exchange hostages as agreed. Our primary purpose is to save people, but it is best not to really return Chu Jun to Su Yan." Lu Zhe said, "After dealing with the Western Liao royal family, I think those emperors who cultivate shadow substitutes are greedy for life and fear of death or cunning or insidious, in some cases, substitutes are always an extremely effective way to escape from the shell."

Qingting widened his eyes, "You mean, let's find a substitute for Chu Jun and give the fake one to Su Yan, and we really keep it?"

Lu Zhe nodded, "That's right. We must consider the situation after the hostage exchange. Su Yan, a big concern, must be eliminated. There is no need to make any moral promises when dealing with such shameless crazy women."

Yuan Qiu thought, "I didn't want to talk about morality with Su Yan. But she is a master of poison skills and a master of disguise. If we make a fake Chu Jun to her, we can't deceive her."

"Switching hostages, of course, she can only take her son back after the exchange is completed. As long as our people come back, what if she finds that her son is fake?" Lu Zhe said.

"Cousin, this method is not very safe. Since we all know that Su Yan can threaten us by catching an innocent person, even if she puts our people back, we still hold her son in our hands, but she can catch new hostages at any time, such as ordinary people, and force us to trade again. That will fall into a vicious cycle, cannot solve the problem, and it will easily hurt the innocent." Yuan Qiu shook his head.

Lu Zhe sighed slightly, "That's right. But the thought that flashed by me was indeed not comprehensive. Only by removing Su Yan as soon as possible can we truly relieve the hidden dangers. Even if we really exchange hostages with Su Yan in the past two months, I think it's better to turn that day into Su Yan's death day. It's better..." Lu Zhe said, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Since Chu Jun is now a puppet of his cousin, my cousin will order him to assassinate Su Yan!"

"Of course Su Yan will ask her sister to relieve her son's poison." Rong Yuanlang frowned, "Even if her sister asks us to take back our own people and then give Su Yan the antidote, then Su Yan may have confused Chu Jun first in order to avoid a conflict with the controlled Chu Jun. Your idea is based on Su Yan's inadequate care, but this is a bet and there is no confidence."

Lu Zhe sighed, "This time I avoided being ridiculed by my brother-in-law for being ridiculed by me. Of course, the biggest credit is my cousin."

But the stand-in plan was proposed by Lu Zhe first, and it did give Yuan Qiu an inspiration.

Su Mo handed a cup of tea to Lu Zhe, "Your problem now is not that you have a broken mind, but that you think too much."

Su Mo felt that Lu Zhe was becoming more and more lively and childish, but he had a bit of the sameting as Rong Yuanlang.

Of course, this is a good thing. If he could live happily, who would be willing to be like a resentful woman and a man? In the past, Lu Zhe was always struggling because he couldn't get what he wanted and was unwilling to give up. Now he is still on the road, but his heart has a place to go. The more he lives, the younger he becomes, the easier it becomes.

"In this way, the general plan is decided! We have to set out early and not delay. Couple, please pick out the medicinal materials you want to use first, and send someone to send home to hide the rest. You also have to send someone to deliver the letter and tell the house to reassure them." Lu Zhe quickly arranged the matter clearly.

"My subordinate wants to go to the Chu family to save Qingfeng." Qing Lei spoke, as if he was afraid of being arranged to let him go home. "My wife said, my injury is not serious and will not affect my journey. It will be fine in ten days and half a month!"

Su Mo shook his head, without any doubt, "You go home with Qingyun."

Qingyun frowned, but said nothing. His martial arts are the weakest among the four brothers. Although he has the best mind, he actually doesn't need to give advice when he is with the two monsters Yuan Qiu and Su Mo. He only talks about Lu Zhe, whether in his mind or strength, he is above Qingyun.

Qingyun advised Qinglei, "We all worry about Qingfeng, but now it is not the time to act irritating. Even if you don't care about your injuries, you should consider the people at home waiting for you to go back."

Qing Lei sighed deeply when he thought of Situ Ying and Qing Xiuyi and his son, and smiled bitterly, "I always feel sorry for Qing Feng, and Mrs. Hongling has been waiting for him to go back. He is the boss, and he used to be at the forefront."

"We just need to believe that the master and wife will definitely bring them back safely." Qingyun's face was calm. His concern for Qingfeng was not less than Qinglei, but he was more rational. Moreover, Qingyun knew that the main reason why Su Mo asked Qinglei to go home was not that Qinglei had injuries on her body, nor that she couldn't use him, but because Qinglei had Situ Ying and his son, Su Mo didn't want him to take risks again.

In this way, the direction of the next action was temporarily decided. Yuan Qiu picked some medicinal materials and asked Qingyun and Qinglei to take the others home. To be on the safe side, some arrangements were needed on the way. With Qingyun there, these problems were not big.

Then Yuan Qiu wrote a letter to her family, telling her experience and current situation, as well as her and Su Mo's next plan. She originally wanted to write a few words about the child, but in the end she didn't write it.

Yuan Qiu handed the letter to Qingyun, told him a few more words, and then prepared to let them go.

Lu Zhe, who was sitting next to him, put down the tea cup and casually pulled out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "Brother, please help me bring it back."

Qingyun took it and asked knowingly, "Did Prince Lu's letter be handed to the emperor?"

Lu Zhe had a expressionless face, "Don't give me the baby, she's about to give birth. At least let her know that I'm still alive and let her give birth to the baby well. If something happens, I can't spare her when I go back!"

Qingyun nodded, "Don't worry, Prince Lu, I will bring the letter. If Prince Lu's words are, my subordinates will also pass them on to the princess as it is."

Lu Zhe coughed lightly, "Whatever I want to say to her is in the letter. Don't bother you to repost it, just give it to her."

Qingyun smiled without saying a word, Rong Yuanlang and Qingting looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Rong Yuanlang slapped the table, "Cousin Lu must have written a love poem for his cousin's sister-in-law. I'm sorry to let us know! If not, Cousin Lu's name will be written in reverse!"

Qingting nodded repeatedly, "That's more? Prince Lu has to eat more buns in a meal than us, so he is naturally more talented!"

Lu Zhe felt that his fists were itchy...
