Yang Liu replied: "This is mainly because after Daqi was stabilized, the Lu Jiajun took the initiative to hand over the patrol force, which had a good relationship with the people, directly to the government for control. This continued for almost a hundred years. I also learned from the prince. I heard about it.”
"Is that so?" Wen Qingzhu nodded slightly and looked at the table absentmindedly.
This can be regarded as coming full circle. The patrol army is back in the hands of the Lu family army, but outsiders don't know it.
What's more, the Lu family now has big problems within itself, and they even have too much time to take care of themselves.
Recalling the scene where she met Zhao Qing just now, Lu Chengen's rank was clearly higher than that of Zhao Qing, but it seemed that Zhao Qing came to discuss the matter.
"Sir! There is news that the prince is back!" Jasmine hurried over from outside the door. She didn't even have time to knock on the door and shouted directly.
The three people in the room stood up immediately, and Jasmine delivered the secret message.
Wen Qingzhu opened it and saw that there were only a few simple words on it: Don't miss it, return in three days.
Seeing the familiar handwriting, Wen Qingzhu felt excited.
But she immediately looked in the direction of Yongheguan, still feeling worried.
They had previously said they would return in seven days, but later the Huns marched and they were delayed. Lu Chengen did not give any news, and Wen Qingzhu himself knew it.
Now Fu Lie must have heard about her coming, so he personally sent the news to her!
"However, if there is a fight at Yonghe Pass, Fu Lie will be in a bad situation." Wen Qingzhu held the secret letter tightly.
Before lunch, Wen Qingzhu assigned Yang Liu to see the army left by Mrs. Zheng.
She originally wanted to keep Lei Shuo with her, but she didn't want to wait and insisted on going out to do something.
Wen Qingzhu asked her to follow Gu Kuo for a while, but she must not delay her action.
When it was lunch time, Lei Yan rushed back.
Seeing that there was no Lei Shuo in the house, he quickly asked: "Where's Shuo'er! Isn't she going to be a hero again?"
"No! I asked her to follow Gu Kuo to learn more about the lives of the people in Dingyuan." Wen Qingzhu was setting up the dishes with Jasmine.
But as soon as he said this, Lei Yan became even more anxious: "How could you let her go out with the patrol! Now there are Huns spies everywhere outside! What if something happens-"
With a snap, Wen Qingzhu slapped the chopsticks on the table, making Lei Yan immediately shrink his neck and keep silent at the same time.
Wen Qingzhu turned to him and said, "You have been here for a while. Have you figured out what the patrol army does? Do you distrust the Lu family or the government? Or who?"
"I... I didn't mean that. It's just that Shuo'er is young and has never experienced such a big thing. I'm afraid that if something happens to her, I don't know how to go back and explain to my parents."
Lei Yan lowered his head and his voice became lower and lower.
"She is the one who went into the palace with you to rescue him! How come she has never experienced big things!"
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu couldn't bear it. Knowing that he was concerned but confused, his tone became much better.
Lei Yan couldn't help but retort: "But that's the capital. Our people are everywhere. Everything has been planned. We just need to rush there in time! It's a war now! Even if the emperor comes! There's no guarantee that everything will be fine. of!"
"Hey..." Wen Qingzhu sighed.
The village massacre happened just this morning. It was really inappropriate to let Lei Shuo go out at this time.
But that was not the case. Wen Qingzhu softened his voice and explained: "Brother Yan, I know you are worried about Sister Shuo, but the uncle who helped us was tortured to death by the Huns last night. If she is not allowed to see more The situation here will always cast a shadow on her! The soldiers in Dingyuan are not as miserable as you think!"
"Yeah." Lei Yan slowly figured it out, feeling increasingly ashamed.
Seeing that he was still worried about Lei Shuo, Wen Qingzhu said, "If you are worried, just follow them quietly and take a look while you are still here!"
"Yeah!" Lei Yan nodded immediately, turned around and left here.
As soon as he left, Jasmine brought Tu Dan over.
Wen Qingzhu accompanied him to eat, and while picking up food for him, he asked, "I was looking at you earlier, what's your last name?"
Tu Dan held his smooth chopsticks and looked at the dishes slowly arriving on the table and the exquisite porcelain bowl in front of him. He was so nervous that he couldn't hear any sound.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu thought of the Lu family's influence in Dingyuan and explained: "This is the Lu family, the home of General Lu."
"General Lu's home!" As soon as Tudan heard the name, he scratched the edge of the table with his two withered little hands and looked at her with shining eyes.
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Yes, this is our Zhenguo General's Mansion, the home of our greatest hero Lu Chengen in Dingyuan. How about it? Are you very excited?"
Needless to say, Tudan had already expressed his excitement with practical actions.
He immediately jumped off the stool, turned around and looked around, constantly asking Wen Qingzhu: "Is this really General Lu's home? It's so grand! Our village chief has only been to the door of General Lu's house. ! I, I, I, I actually came to the general’s house!”
Wen Qingzhu looked at his happy and excited expression. His face was completely gone from the previous sadness and nervousness. Now his whole body was as excited as a playful puppy, touching here and there.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu wasn't in a hurry, didn't say anything to stop him, and just watched quietly.
Soon Tu Dan saw the lion pattern carved on the top of a pillar totem of the Lu family house.
"Really! There really are lions!" Tudan pointed upward, turned to Wen Qingzhu and shouted.
She walked over, followed his line of sight, nodded and said, "Yeah! I saw it!"
Tu Dan excitedly told her the legend about the Lu family's sons and daughters, without feeling any discomfort at all, and even held his head higher than before.
When Wen Qingzhu saw the changes in him, he couldn't help feeling that the Lu family's influence in Dingyuan was indeed extremely far-reaching.
It's not something that ordinary people can compare to.
This was after the Zhao Jiajun had weakened the Lu Jiajun's power over the years. If it had been before, he might have only recognized the Lu Jiajun!
Thinking of Jiang Yue's decision back then, Wen Qingzhu felt a sense of recognition in his heart.
But there was just a hint that the Lu family was too powerful and threatened the imperial power, which was absolutely not allowed.
With Jiang Yue's personality, he could only think of cultivating a Zhao Jiajun to divide the Lu family's power.
This is not a good idea.
After being excited for a long time, Jasmine saw that two-quarters of an hour had passed and the dishes were almost cold. She quickly reminded them: "Sir, Tudan, why don't you eat now? You can talk after eating."
"Ah!" Tudan looked back and found that the dishes on the table seemed to be really cold.
He looked at Wen Qingzhu nervously: "Sister, yes, I'm sorry, let's eat first."
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu led him over to sit down and started eating with him.
After eating, I took Tudan to the yard for a walk.
The child is still young and gets sleepy quickly.
Wen Qingzhu took him to a side room to sit and chat.
While chatting, I tilted my head and fell asleep.
Jasmine came over and carried him to the bed, and Wen Qingzhu turned around and went out.
There should also be some news from Lu Tao.
After leaving the yard, Wen Qingzhu didn't meet Lu Tao who came back soon, but he met a menacing little girl!
She ran over directly, stretched out her hand to stop Wen Qingzhu, raised her head and shouted, "Are you the new adult in the family?"
"Yes, the little girl is Mrs. Lu Shu's daughter Dai Dai, right?" Now that Wen Qingzhu saw the child, he had no resistance at all, and his tone softened unconsciously.
"I am! But you are not allowed to call me that! Only my friends and elders can call me that!" The little girl frowned, full of momentum, like a little adult.
At the corner of the gravel road behind, a little boy with pink and jade sculptures ran over. He was a little taller than Wang Dai.
When he came over, he protected Wang Dai behind him, but he apologized politely: "Sorry, Mr. Xue, I am Lu Gui, the grandson of General Lu, she is my cousin, I am a little rude, please forgive me! "
"You're welcome, I don't mind!" Wen Qingzhu looked at the two children. The boy was only as big as Yuan Han, but his eyes were much clearer.
etc! Eyes -
Wen Qingzhu looked at Lu Gui's eyes and thought of Jiang Yuanhan's eyes in front of her before. They looked similar, but in fact there were differences.
When she was stunned, Wang Dai couldn't help shouting again: "My cousin is talking to you! Why are you suddenly ignoring me!"
Wen Qingzhu came to his senses and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I... I just saw Lu Gui and thought of one of my little brothers."
"Don't worry, sir. It's just Dai Dai. She was not like this before." Lu Gui was sweating in his heart. Grandpa had carefully explained that he could not neglect this gentleman!
Unexpectedly, Dede ran over.
Seeing him protecting outsiders like this, Wang Dai felt angry and couldn't help sobbing: "Brother, why are you protecting outsiders? They were the ones who injured my mother first! I'm so angry that I can't argue with you!"
Wen Qingzhu was startled, and Lu Gui covered Wang Dai's mouth in a panic: "Don't say it! Auntie didn't tell you to speak out, but she wanted to go to the ancestral hall to be punished by kneeling down! It's not our Lu family's ancestral hall!"
Hearing what he said, Wang Dai froze, then hugged Lu Lui's arm and started crying: "I don't want to go back to grandma's ancestral hall! I don't want to! I don't want to go back to grandma's house!"
"Okay, okay! Don't talk for now, let me speak." Lu Gui, like a real adult, wiped her tears and comforted her softly.
Wang Dai quickly stopped crying, and Lu Gui turned around. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Wen Qingzhu walking directly to Lu Shu's yard, and at the same time said to Lu Gui, "Take me to see your aunt."
Lu Gui felt very nervous, and then heard Wen Qingzhu say, "I learned from Medicine God Valley."
Suddenly, Lu Gui's eyes lit up and he quickly took Wen Qingzhu over.
Arriving at Lu Shu's yard, Wen Qingzhu was surprised to see Lu Shu practicing sword practice.
Judging from her complexion, she was indeed injured internally.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu coming, Lu Shu stopped.
Shunyan looked at the two villains behind him and frowned: "Dede!"
Wang Dai let go of Lu Gui's hand, hurriedly came to Lu Shu, stretched out her palm, and closed her eyes.
Lu Shu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Gui, take Dai Dai into the house first. This gentleman and I have something to say."
"Yes." Lu Gui hurried over and pulled Wang Dai into the house.
When there were no others around, Lu Shu suddenly knelt down and said, "I've caused trouble to you! Please forgive me!"
"Madam, please get up! This matter was originally our fault. Let me check your injury first." Wen Qingzhu helped her get up and sat down at the stone table.
Lu Shu stretched out her wrist, and Wen Qingzhu clasped her wrist and listened for her pulse carefully.
As he listened, Wen Qingzhu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Madam's pulse is stable but weak. You have hidden injuries that have been hidden for many years."
Lu Shu withdrew her hand and praised: "Your medical skills are really excellent. If Dad had known you would come here, he would have told me what happened outside. The Xiongnu massacre of the village is indeed a big deal, not to mention that the uncle helped you. I was impulsive! Miss Lei’s martial arts is very good!”
"Madam! Now is not the time to change the subject. If you don't heal the hidden wounds in your body, you won't survive ten years!"
Wen Qingzhu changed the topic seriously, not giving her a chance to cover up.
