"My mistake was that I knew that Gu Kuo had problems but still let him join the patrol army. My mistake was that I should not have allowed Gu Kuo to grow in strength step by step! I gave the Xiongnu many opportunities!"
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, Lu Chengen slammed the table and shouted: "Fart! The last thing you should do is let Xia Tian be deceived for so many years! Do you know who his grandfather died for!"
Lu Chuan was startled and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Previously, Wen Qingzhu had such a good impression of Lu Chengen that he forgot that he was a general stationed at the border all year round.
Rumor has it that his temper is not that good either.
Wen Qingzhu blinked, now Lu Chengen does look a bit like the rumors!
Lu Chengen naturally saw the change in Wen Qingzhu's eyes and restrained himself a little: "Send Xia Tian back, and she will stay in your room to take care of you from now on."
"Dad!" Lu Chuan suddenly became anxious, "I have always regarded her as my sister!"
Lu Chengen's eyes widened: "Get out of here!"
Lu Chuan retracted his head in shock and helped Xia Tian out.
After they left, Lu Chengen calmly apologized to Wen Qingzhu: "I'm really sorry. This kid will be twenty years old in less than two years, but he still acts like a young man at the dock. Alas... Xia Tian is a good girl, and he doesn't even look at it. Woolen cloth?"
As he talked, he changed the topic again.
However, Wen Qingzhu could also understand that at Lu Chengen's age, he had lost two sons and a son-in-law, and only had one grandson. Lu Chuan was still very anxious now that he was still not married.
"General, don't worry, this matter still depends on fate." Wen Qingzhu advised.
After a while, Lu Chuan came back again.
He stood next to Lu Chengen, the injury on his hand had been bandaged.
Lu Chengen snorted coldly at him and did not speak to him again. Instead, he turned to Wen Qingzhu and asked, "How does the princess plan to start the war?"
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and realized that he had an idea in his mind. Now that Lu Chengen was willing to cooperate fully, his idea became clearer.
"Now that I have a rift with the general, Zhao Qing will definitely not miss this opportunity."
Lu Chengen immediately understood what he meant: "Are you planning to use Zhao Jiajun to fight?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "That's right."
After a moment of silence, Lu Chengen looked at Fu Lie: "What about you?"
"I'm going to blow up Shuangfeng Mountain." Fu Lie directly said what Wen Qingzhu was thinking in his heart.
Lu Chengen couldn't help but ask: "What about our Lu family?"
Wen Qingzhu replied: "Go to Yunzhou."
Lu Chengen thought for a moment: "Nothing happened in Yunzhou recently, right?"
"Think about it, General. Sister Shuo found a pagoda on her way to send the people to Yunzhou. What does this mean?" Wen Qingzhu reminded him.
Lu Chengen's face turned gloomy: "Yunzhou is not so fragile-"
As he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that Yunzhou now looked like an empty shell.
The land is vast and the people are sparse. Whatever you want to do, the right time, right place, and right people are perfect for you!
Wen Qingzhu explained: "I have thought about it carefully. Zhao Jiajun has different intentions. Fu Lie's people all have war experience. It is better for Lu Jiajun to find Xiongnu undercovers among the people. There is another point. , Even the prestige of the Lu family army is very high in Dingyuan, Yunzhou, and it will be more useful for you to do this than if the emperor comes in person."
"That's no problem, but Zhao Qing won't agree easily, right?" Lu Chengen knows Zhao Qing's character very well. He is an absolute opportunist!
If there is no profit, you can’t afford it early. In everything you do, try to minimize losses and expand profits!
Wen Qingzhu fell into deep thought. She had not thought of this detailed question yet and needed to think about it carefully.
But Fu Lie next to him said: "This is very simple. Zhao Qing has always wanted people from the Fu Jiajun. This time he went to the frontal battlefield, so he must have used an excuse to transfer people."
"Then wouldn't your side be divided by him?" Wen Qingzhu didn't agree.
Lu Chengen hissed and then slapped the table: "This is a good idea!"
He and Fu Lie looked at each other and smiled, seemingly reaching an agreement.
At this moment, Wen Qingzhu felt excluded.
Why does Lu Chengen understand Fu Lie better than he does
As soon as this idea came to mind, Wen Qingzhu suddenly remembered that she had never understood Fu Lie.
Thinking of this, her mood dropped.
Fu Lie keenly felt her emotional changes, turned around and explained: "Although Zhao Qing has been expanding his army, not all the people who follow him are voluntary. There are many good generals among them, and they all have their own With his own troops, although he followed Zhao Qing, his heart did not follow him."
"So the Fu Jiajun's passing was an opportunity to divide them?" Wen Qingzhu understood, but he was still a little disappointed.
She knew everything about the bottom and the top, but she didn't know much about the last wishes of the middle-level, especially military affairs.
Whether it was her past life or this life, her understanding of these came from Fu Lie.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly felt helpless in his heart.
After discussing the matter, Lu Chengen and Lu Chuan stood up to see each other off.
Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie said goodbye, and when they turned to leave, she accidentally saw a jade pendant dangling from Lu Chuan's waist.
She had already turned around, but suddenly turned around, stared at the jade pendant around his waist and asked, "Where did you get this?"
At this time, Lu Chuan had already changed into regular clothes, and he looked completely different wearing armor.
So much so that Wen Qingzhu ignored the jade pendant around his waist.
Lu Chuan took off the jade pendant from his waist, picked it up, thought about it, and said with some confusion, "This seems to have been given to me by a girl."
"Girl? What kind?" Wen Qingzhu looked at the jade pendant in his hand, which was clearly the same set as the jade pendant that Lu Tao had given him earlier.
The material and color were the same. If the wind hadn't blown just now, the lantern above their heads swayed, and the light reflected on the jade pendant flickered, Wen Qingzhu wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"She is a girl with beautiful eyes, about 20 years old." Lu Chuan recalled carefully.
This made Lu Chengen couldn't help but ask: "Do you remember what other girls look like?"
Lu Chuan chuckled: "That girl's eyes are really beautiful, but she was covered with a veil. She said her face was injured and she couldn't see people. I remember that!"
"Follow me!" Wen Qingzhu turned around and stepped into the house again.
When he arrived at the desk, Wen Qingzhu picked up his pen, recalled Pei Zhixuan's appearance, and slowly drew her eyes, still covered with a veil.
"Look, is it this person?" Wen Qingzhu asked, pointing to the person in the portrait.
Lu Chuan came over to take a look, shook his head and said, "No, her eyes are more beautiful when closed. They are very flexible, like the moon in the sky!"
"It's like the moon in the sky! I'm afraid you have fallen in love with me!" Lu Chengen slapped Lu Chuan on the shoulder, pretending to be angry on his face, but actually he was secretly happy in his heart.
Wen Qingzhu was surprised: "More beautiful than these eyes? Are you sure?"
"Of course!" Lu Chuan nodded seriously.
Wen Qingzhu thought, could it be Pei Dongli
She thought about it and decided to draw it for Lu Chuan to see.
After finishing the painting, Lu Chuan shook his head with certainty: "This one is worse than the last one, it's not her!"
Wen Qingzhu was a little impatient and handed him the pen: "You draw!"
Lu Chuan took the pen blankly and touched the back of his head: "I haven't learned anything at all! The only thing I can draw well is a map! You asked me to draw people! I can't do it at all!"
Wen Qingzhu felt helpless, reached for his pen, drew a new portrait, and pointed it out to Lu Chuan: "This person is Pei Zhixuan, the most beautiful woman in the capital, Pei Yu's granddaughter. If nothing else, she is also in Dingyuan, or maybe Yunzhou, or even Texas, it’s around here anyway.”
"Pei Yu! The granddaughter of that traitorous official! Then she must not be a good person!" Lu Chuan made a conclusion without even thinking about it.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lu Chengen asked one more question: "What is Pei Zhixuan doing here?"
"I'm not sure. According to the news I got, Pei Zhixuan went to the temple to settle her marriage, and then she came over. But I guess her main purpose was Pei Yi!"
Wen Qingzhu expressed all her worries: "I thought Pei Yi would do something, but I have been here for so long and there is no news about Pei Yi, not even Pei Zhixuan, so I am worried that they may What was done we don’t know.”
"Who is Pei Yi? Is he also from the Pei family?" Lu Chuan was very unfamiliar with this name, but he always felt like he had heard it somewhere.
Lu Chengen looked at his son and became more and more worried. This stupid son only knew how to fight and didn't know anything about conspiracy. What should he do if he changed his mind in the future
However, seeing Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie here, one of them was a general who was likely to surpass them in the Lu family, and the other was a person who could be the emperor, Lu Chengen felt a little relieved.
This world is finally not completely dark yet.
He waved them to sit down again: "Since we talked about this matter, we can't omit the past. Ji Shang told me about Pei Yi. What I didn't expect was that he didn't make any movement at all. The princess asked just now What's wrong with that jade pendant?"
"This jade pendant was made by the emperor after he ascended the throne. Even if it exists, it is only owned by officials in the capital. A jade pendant appeared here before. I am basically sure that this jade pendant belongs to Pei Zhixuan. There may be something wrong with her. , but it could also be a cover-up!"
Lu Chengen still has his usual macho mentality: "I know that Pei Yi is not valued by Pei Yu, but will Pei Zhixuan really cause any trouble when she comes to Dingyuan? What can she do? This is not the capital? There is no power of the Pei family. it's here!"
"The general is wrong. The Zhao brothers and Zuo Zhifu in Dingyuan may be Pei Yu's people!" Wen Qingzhu corrected him.
Lu Chengen didn't understand and continued to ask: "One is a military general and the other is a civil servant, and they are both appointed by the late emperor. They-"
Speaking of this, Lu Chengen suddenly realized that the late emperor was already the late emperor!
Thinking of this, Lu Chengen began to re-examine the matter.
Wen Qingzhu didn't rush him, just waited quietly.
Fu Lie said at this time: "I think Pei Yi may not be in Dingyuan."
The three of them looked at him together, and Fu Lie explained: "Previously, there was news from the capital that Pei Yi had come to the northwest. I have been sending people to pay attention, but there is no news about him either openly or secretly. He You are a man of both civil and military skills, but your purpose is unclear, which is very worrying, so I have been sending people to find out about him, but to no avail."
"So Pei Yi is not in Dingyuan?" Wen Qingzhu asked.
