On the night of the discussion in the Lu family's study, Chen Fei's residence. The candles in the room flickered, and the faint light of the fire reflected Chen Fei's flickering face.

He is in a very bad mood now, since the afternoon, six groups of people have come to him to report, and there is only one news to report, that is, almost all of the key people of the Lu family who want to be captured have gone to the main family's mansion, and there is no news yet, and I don't know what they are discussing. If they have already decided to rebel, then the defense of the Lu Mansion will definitely be very tight, and it will not be ordinary difficulties to sneak in and take people again.

"Report! My lord, according to the report of the brother who is watching, the defense of Lu Mansion has been under martial law since dusk, and the patrol department has nearly doubled the number of guards guarding the gate than usual! ”

"What?" Chen Fei was so shocked that he got up from the table, grabbed the soldier who came to report and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"Adult, how dare the little one joke about this kind of thing, the guards in the Lu Mansion are indeed stricter than usual, and they are ......."

"And what?"

"And the people to be arrested are still in the Lu Mansion and have never come out."

"None of them came out? Have you taken a closer look? Can someone disguise himself as a pawn and sneak out of the Lu Mansion? ”

"My lord, since those people approached the Lu Mansion, there have only been eight people in the mansion, and the brothers are all staring, and none of them are wearing makeup and pretending, which can already be confirmed, so ......"

"So it's true that none of them have ever come out, have they?"

The soldier nodded, "Yes." ”

"Damn, this is difficult, it won't be so unlucky, and it will develop in the worst direction, right?" Chen Fei touched his chin and thought for a while, then grabbed the soldier in front of him and asked, "Have you ever been discovered by their people when you were watching?" ”

The soldier's mouth was bitter, and he couldn't help shouting injustice, "My lord, absolutely not, the brothers are well disguised, absolutely not arousing their suspicion, and they have never sent anyone to investigate us, we have definitely not been exposed." ”

"That doesn't make sense! It's good, how can it be like this all of a sudden? By the way, what about Fan Jiang? Is he still in the city? ”

"General Fan also knows that this matter is important, and has already rushed over from the city, and is now mostly on the way."

While speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and after a while, Fan Jiang pushed the door in, panting and said, "Chen Fei, it's not good, Lu Mansion... Lu Fu..."

"Martial law in Lufu, right? I just found out about this. Got any news new? ”

Fan Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then Mu Ran shook his head.

"Hey! Okay, you go down first, continue to keep an eye on the Lu family, if there is any trouble, send someone to report in time, and I will talk to General Fan. ”

"Yes!" The soldier retreated, and Chen Fei pulled Fan Jiang into his seat.

"Things are a little bad, the Lu family suddenly made such a move, I suspect that there must be something leaking out of the news, causing them to be suspicious. Now they may already be plotting a rebellion. ”

Fan Jiang's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Won't it?" Does the Lu family really want to rebel? ”

Chen Fei glanced at him and snorted, "Why can't you do the opposite?" In terms of food, grass and money, they are enough to support an army, and in terms of influence, since they can rank among the seven great families, their influence is naturally needless to say, once they raise troops to rebel, I am afraid that they will cause a lot of trouble, and you and I are not good to arrest, and they will inevitably be punished. ”

Hearing Chen Fei say this, Fan Jiang suddenly became a little anxious: "Then what should I do?" Let's do it now? ”

Chen Fei thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Don't worry, don't worry, the Lu family hasn't taken the most critical step yet, and now we still have time."

Fan Jiang was puzzled and asked, "The most critical step?" What do you mean? ”

Chen Fei pursed his lips and spread his hands: "If you are the head of the Lu family and want to make trouble, what should you do first?" ”

Fan Jiang thought about it, suddenly slapped his thigh, and shouted, "I know!" I see! They must not have prepared food and grass yet, so they should prepare food first, right? ”

Chen Fei......... You didn't have dinner, did you? How do you want something to eat?

"Brother, is the Lu family still short of food and grass? If you want to start an incident, the top priority is naturally to take away the military defense of Fanyang City! Now the military power is still firmly in the hands of Yang Liuping, so they can't get into trouble at all, otherwise with what kind of troops in his mansion, how can they occupy Fanyang City? Crazy? ”

"That's right!" Fan Jiang suddenly realized, and suddenly patted his thigh and said: "It makes sense, I was negligent at the beginning, so I ......."

"So as long as Yang Liuping is fine, the Lu family will not want to rebel! Therefore, if the Lu family wants to rebel, they will definitely find a way to get rid of Yang Liuping first and seize the military power of Fanyang City, and then they can make a big deal!

If he took away the military power of Fan Yang City, he would be able to quickly expand his ranks. It's been ten days and a half a month since the news reached Chang'an, and it will be too late for the imperial court to react at that time! ”

"So..."

"So it's important to protect Yang Liuping. The Lu family's desire to murder Yang Liuping is nothing more than light and dark means. Either he assassinates you secretly at night, or he openly invites you to a banquet, but in fact it is a Hongmen banquet and takes your life at the banquet! Seize the power of the army! ”

Fan Jiang jumped his eyelids suddenly, and said uneasily: "Then what should we do?" ”

Chen Fei glanced at him: "What else can I do?" Only protect him. ”

Fan Jiang........ You didn't say that.

At this moment, soldiers from outside came to report. "Report to your lordship, the spies planted on the Lu family's mansion by General Xia Naifan now have important intelligence reports!"

Whatever you want, what! Chen Fei and Fan Jiang glanced at each other excitedly, and hurriedly got up to greet each other outside the door.

"Hurry up, there's any news from the Lu Mansion, come quickly."

The soldier who came to report was the one who had infiltrated the Lu Mansion as a subordinate, and what happened in the Lu family's study happened to be witnessed by him.

After Lu Hong left, he found a way to turn out of the Lu Mansion, and hurriedly came here to report and told Chen Fei what he had seen and heard word for word.

Sure enough, as Chen Fei expected, Lu Hong would invite Yang Liuping and others to the mansion for a banquet in the name of holding a banquet, and then wait for the opportunity to do it.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Lu Hong summoned the people in the family to go to the house to discuss matters, but he didn't expect that in the end, they were actually put under house arrest, which made Chen Fei cry and laugh, and had to redo the plan immediately.

"The banquet for Yang Liuping should be a matter of the past two days, and now many people to be arrested are in the study of Lu Mansion, our plan must be adjusted quickly, otherwise there will be no time."

"How?"

"It's very simple, since the big fish are in a pond, then let's throw our nets at this pond!"
