The carriage set off slowly, and Pei Zhixuan's voice from behind was drowned in the sound of rolling wheels.
The car was very quiet. Lu Tao endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but said: "Pei Zhixuan's sleepless nights are too much! Miss Lei and General Lu haven't reconciled yet!"
"This is not a matter of living too much, but Pei Zhixuan knew that Lu Chuan and Sister Shuo got married just for the sake of Qi State, and she never gave up." Wen Qingzhu had already expected it in his heart, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Back at the Lu family, Wen Qingzhu unexpectedly saw Lu Shu and Danton.
Zuotang, as the prefect of Dingyuan, is naturally here.
"See Princess, Regent."
With Zuotang taking the lead, others naturally followed suit.
To Wen Qingzhu's surprise, Danton's ceremony turned out to be the etiquette of Qi.
"You're welcome, Mr. Denton. Please sit down." Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and asked everyone to sit down.
As a guest from the Huns, Denton was naturally the first to come.
As he raised his hand, people came in one after another carrying boxes from outside the door.
After opening it, it contained various specialties of the Huns.
After a quick glance, Wen Qingzhu looked at Denton and asked with a smile: "Are these gifts for me, sir, or are they from the Lu family?"
"Of course it's for the princess and the regent. We've already sent the gifts from the Lu family, but..." Denton glanced at Lu Shu and said with regret, "Miss Lu said that she can't go past the princess and the regent." , and accepted the gifts without permission, so the Lu family’s gifts are still lying outside.”
After hearing what Denton said, Lu Shu sneered: "Why is Mr. Denton like this? Our Lu family is just doing things according to the rules."
These words were already very explosive. Wen Qingzhu looked at Zuotang curiously and saw him shaking his head.
After a friendly discussion, Fu Lie personally saw off Denton, while Wen Qingzhu followed Lu Shu back to her room.
After closing the door, Lu Shu knelt down with a pop. Wen Qingzhu went to help him, but Lu Shu forcibly suppressed him: "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have made the decision to assassinate the emperor! It's all my fault that I was so stupid that I was deceived by the Huns!"
"Sister Shu, please stand up first. You are also being used in this matter. Besides, the Emperor has nothing to do and will not convict you of the Lu family!"
After repeated persuasion, Wen Qingzhu finally helped Lu Shu sit down and poured her a glass of hot water.
"This matter is not as simple as you think. The reason why the emperor is willing to follow you out of seclusion is because he has his own plans and can ensure his own safety."
Lu Shu hesitated a little. She was afraid that Wen Qingzhu was trying to comfort her, so she asked again: "Then where did the emperor go?"
"We went to Bailang Mountain. We met there. Everyone is fine. Lu Ce, Zuo Bingning and the others are also there." Wen Qingzhu did not intend to tell Lu Shu what happened at Bailang Mountain. After all, the secrets inside were too big. many.
After experiencing so many things, Lu Shu could naturally see it, so she didn't ask any more questions.
But when it came to the reputation of the Lu family, she couldn't help but asked: "Does the emperor really intend to let Shuo'er get married? And my father, the Huns have agreed to a truce, do we still need to hide the news of his death?"
Regarding Lu Chengen's matter, Wen Qingzhu did not dare to make his own decision. This was a three-way game between the imperial court, the Lu family, and the Huns.
In particular, Lu Chengen's death was not only related to the Huns, but also to the emperor.
Wei Ziying and the others might not have known about it before, but now, both Wei Ziying and Lei Xiao probably know the inside story.
She held Lu Shu's hand, which was cold to the touch: "Don't worry, we will give him an explanation for your father's death. The Lu family is full of loyal people, and I will never let him die in silence like this."
"What about Xiaochuan and Shuo'er?" Lu Shu was extremely happy in her heart. If she really died in the Huns and Shuo'er was sent to the river, then Lu Chuan might not be able to hold on.
Wen Qingzhu thought about it for a long time and then said slowly: "Sister Shuo is afraid that she will really ask for a marriage. In addition, Pei Zhixuan's intervention in your plot was also involved. She is now at Lu Chuan's military camp. You know ?"
"She still dares to come here!" Lu Shu got angry instantly and slammed the table, "I heard Mr. Zuo explain these things. She, Pei Zhixuan, is so scheming that she dares to play tricks on Qi!"
Apart from Pei Zhixuan's ulterior motives, her methods were really brilliant, and she completely manipulated Qi and the Huns.
In this regard, he was three points better than Pei Yu. Wen Qingzhu could only sigh: "Pei Zhixuan has the talent of a general, calm, intelligent, and tolerant and decisive. She has successfully made Lu Chuan remember her. Now if Sister Shuo goes to get married, , there is a high probability that she will marry Lu Chuan in the future."
"I won't agree!" Lu Shu refused without hesitation.
Wen Qingzhu wanted to say something, but she could only shake her head, but she did not say anything.
After all, Lu Shu and Pei Zhixuan are completely different people.
Lu Shu is straightforward and cares about reputation.
But Pei Zhixuan just wants to achieve her own goals. It may not be unscrupulous, but it is definitely not upright.
There is nothing she can't get that she wants.
The country of Qi, its people, and its family were worthless in her eyes.
The only person she may care about is her grandfather Pei Yu.
It is precisely because of this that Wen Qingzhu actually doesn't dislike her very much, but he doesn't like her either.
One day later, Zita personally sent Lei Shuo back.
Wen Qingzhu and Lu Chuan personally welcomed them and took them to the Lu family.
Lu Shu didn't want to show up, but when she heard that Pei Zhixuan was here, she immediately packed up and attended as an elder of the Lu family.
When they arrived at the lobby, Wen Qingzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lei Shuo had no big problem.
This time I came here for no other purpose than to inquire about the trade agreement.
"It seems that the king already has an idea in his mind." Wen Qingzhu saw at a glance what Jieta was thinking.
Zhita smiled lightly and said: "Since your Qi State sincerely seeks peace, I won't hide it. Not to mention Rouran, Xianbei has always coveted Qi State, even more so than us Xiongnu. A few days ago, Xianbei teamed up with Rouran to assassinate your Your Majesty, I am indeed not as straightforward as they are."
"That means the king knows that Xianbei has evil intentions, but feels that he can control it." Wen Qingzhu didn't want to be taken advantage of by Zhita.
"If it weren't for Jiang Yuancheng, I could indeed control it. Another point is that between you and Jiang Yuancheng, I chose you over Jiang Yuancheng. Xianbei would suddenly take action because of Jiang Yuancheng's instigation. All in all, the reason why it happened In the current situation, you, Qi State, are still soft-hearted and did not kill him in advance."
Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes slightly, and it seemed that he was very familiar with Qi's enemies.
If this is the case, I am afraid that the Huns will not be able to gain much advantage in future negotiations.
For the sake of Sister Shuo's happiness, Zhu Ta was sure that he wouldn't have too many demands.
During the silence, Fu Lie suddenly said: "We don't kill Jiang Yuancheng because he is the emperor's brother. There is an idiom in our Qi country called brothers, friends and brothers. Although we belong to the emperor's family, we must set an example.
It is indeed our fault that we failed to fully control Jiang Yuancheng. But Jiang Yuancheng took action in the king's military camp. Logically speaking, the king should get rid of him quickly, but he still escaped.
Therefore, it is not so much that our Qi State is incompetent, but rather that Jiang Yuancheng is not that easy to kill. In this regard, Qi State can slowly consume him, but you Huns absolutely cannot do it. "
After hearing his words, Zita raised his lips and smiled: "As expected of the regent!"
Wen Qingzhu finally felt relieved. She cared about Sister Shuo, so she didn't dare to be too cruel, but Fu Lie didn't care.
Since someone represented the Qi State, Wen Qingzhu naturally stood up and resigned, and at the same time took Lei Shuo to the backyard.
Unexpectedly, Zhita suddenly stood up and took Lei Shuo's other hand: "Lei Shuo can't leave!"
"This is the Lu family! She is Mrs. Lu!" Lu Chuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, walked over and took Lei Shuo's other hand.
Lei Shuo was caught in the middle and wanted to shake them off, but their hands were so tight that she couldn't shake them off even with a hand.
This made Lei Shuo very angry. Wen Qingzhu walked over, looked at Zhi Ta and Lu Chuan and said, "Sister Shuo is not a bargaining chip for you to fight, let go!"
No one let go. Wen Qingzhu's face suddenly darkened. Just as Fu Lie was about to take action, Lu Shu suddenly stood up.
He walked over and slapped Lu Chuan on the wrist, and cursed coldly: "What a shame to be here now! I didn't see the regent and princess are here!"
With his sister here, Lu Chuan reluctantly let go of his hand.
Lu Shu turned to look at Zhita and said coldly: "Your Majesty, you are a distinguished guest of Qi State. It is not convenient for me to take action. Lei Shuo is still a member of our Lu family, so please let go. My martial arts is Not as good as you, but there is Lu Chuan and the regent here."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally let go.
Wen Qingzhu pulled Lei Shuo over, nodded to Lu Shu, and left the lobby.
When they arrived at Lei Shuo's room, Wen Qingzhu said apologetically: "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
"It's okay, it's me who brought you trouble." Lei Shuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.
She had expected this day when Zita didn't kill her, and she didn't push Zetta away.
Seeing the guilt on Lei Shuo's face, Wen Qingzhu asked her to raise her head and look into his eyes: "Sister Shuo, you are not wrong at all in this matter! You like Zhita, but you have never done anything to regret Qi Guo. On the contrary, He has been helping Qi State."
"My little help is nothing." In his heart, Lei Shuo still thought that he had dragged down Wen Qingzhu and the others.
If not, Jita wouldn't have been watching them.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "No! You have made a great sacrifice! Whether it is marrying the Lu family, containing Zhita, or marrying Zhita in the future."
Hearing what she said, Lei Shuo was very puzzled: "If getting married can solve the problem and buy peace at the minimum cost, that would be great."
"But a truly powerful Qi State should not let its women marry to seek peace. This is a kind of cowardice! The peace gained at the expense of women will always be short-lived! You have forgotten the fate of Princess Qingyun of the previous dynasty Are you ready?" Wen Qingzhu was actually very opposed to the marriage.
If Qi is strong enough, the surrounding small countries will seek marriage instead of marriage.
Of course Lei Shuo knew, and his face turned pale: "Zhita is different from the previous Hun King."
"The tower can be different, but what about the next King of the Huns?" Wen Qingzhu immediately asked, "The Huns are different from our Qi country. Whoever is more powerful can become the king. The King of the Huns a hundred years ago and the current King of the Xiongnu are not the same." They come from the same family!"
After being silent for a long time, Lei Shuo reluctantly said: "No matter what, at least if I am alive, Qi and the Huns will not fight."
Wen Qingzhu sighed: "Sister Shuo, if you don't like Zhita, I will fight this battle no matter what. Even if it may take several years, even if it costs money and people, I will fight until the Huns admit defeat." That day."
After hearing these words, Lei Shuo's eyes turned red, he hugged Wen Qingzhu and leaned on Wen Qingzhu's shoulder: "Thank you, I am actually very scared, and I will also worry that the children I will give birth to in the future will attack Qi State, but once When I think about it, if I get married, so many soldiers will be saved from death, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, I feel it is worth it, no matter how hard it is, I won't be afraid."
