Chapter 194: Suspicion and Response

"Mi Zhen has been raising the fifth year of junior high school since she was a child, and no one in the family questioned it, not because she didn't love or pay attention to him, but because she knew that he was strong in martial arts and quick to react. ”

"And a delicate junior like me, who is powerless, and the elders in the family are even a lion cat that has just opened its eyes, and I have to make sure that my temperament is gentle before I can contact it directly!"

"Parents who love their flesh and blood will not force their children to change, but change the environment in which their children live. ”

"In addition, my grandfather is good at martial arts, and he is valued by swords; my father is good at writing, so I don't feel distressed at all because of his generosity for the four treasures of the study; I enjoy it so much, the famous sword BMW and the ancient inkstone are unique, and I know that the origin is extraordinary, but I don't care at all!"

"Mizhen Wenneng is the champion of high school, Wu Neng is the first soldier, both civil and military, and has a common language with talented people like generals, and naturally cherishes talents like generals!"

"A person as indecisive as Shizi and who has no obvious strengths, for generals and others, just like a person who has no power to tie a chicken and does not know the slightest martial arts, in the face of a famous sword and a famous sword, even though he knows its preciousness, how can he attach importance to it from the bottom of his heart? Let alone use it in the right place, and make the best use of his talents! The most important thing is that Shizi really knows how to distinguish between true talent and real learning and flashy and unreal?"

"Anyway, I can't tell which of my grandfather and my father's beloved things is the best and what's good!"

"This box of rouge is sold by the most famous fat powder shop in Chang'an, but a small box, the asking price is ten taels of gold, and other idlers may not spend so much in a year!"

"I went to Xijiang from Chang'an and brought a bunch of them. ”

"Before, Mizhen asked me to pack up my things and leave Yizhou in a hurry, and how much of the value of the dowry was even lost in the city, but I didn't forget to take a box!"

"If the general doesn't have any family to send...... What is it worth in front of a big man like you? Not to mention ten taels of gold, I'm afraid you can't even get ten copper coins, right?"

"As the saying goes, learn to become a martial artist and sell it to the emperor's family. ”

"But as the saying goes...... The sword is given to the hero, and the pink is given to the beauty!"

"Heroes don't make swords lonely, and beauties don't make pink dust. ”

"If you make a sword to a beautiful woman, put it on the shelf; Although the sword of gold, the powder of heavy price...... What does it mean for them?"

"The general understands the truth of selling goods, and he must know it well. ”

"How do you choose...... Please think again!"

…… On Lu Shiyu's way back to Shuai Tent, Sheng Weiqiao's soft persuasion seemed to be echoing in his ears, he actually knew very well that this was Sheng Weiqiao's hope that he could choose Rong Sleeping Crane's words, which was not fair.

However......

The Sheng family did let Rong Sleeping Crane raise leopards, but they were only willing to let Sheng Weiqiao raise a lion cat, didn't they?

Looking down at the rouge box that he inadvertently took in his hand, Lu Shiyu's expression was unpredictable, and after a long time, he stood still and ordered the guards: "Call Lijie!"

Cheng Meizhu came quickly, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked, "How is it?"

"Lijie, what we know about this princess of the county before, I'm afraid that there is a mistake. Lu Shiyu's face was very ugly, he pointed to the rouge on the case in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "What did you tell me, the princess of Fangcai County?"

He roughly described Sheng Weiqiao's words, and sighed, "I know very well in my heart that she just wants to convince me to be used by Mizhen, and if it is not good, don't get in her way now......!" But how to think and how to think she makes sense. ”

"Don't talk about you, general, the last general is just listening to your relay at this time, and I want to help her persuade you. Cheng Meizhu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Are these words really her own thoughts? Then we have always thought that this princess of the county is a deep lady who has no city government, and it is indeed wrong." ”

Lu Shiyu sighed: "It doesn't matter who came up with it...... The question is, what should we do now? In the final analysis, the talents and temperament of the prince really cannot be assured! You said that if the prince of the county was the eldest son of the prince, or if the prince had the talents no less than those of the prince of the county, how good would it be? Those of us who are subordinates have nothing to worry about. ”

"Anyway, doesn't the prince already know that Meng Jiaqian and the princess of the county are in our army?" Cheng Meizhu thought for a while and said, "Then let's go first! Let's see if the prince will make any moves when he turns around? If not, we will follow the princess of the county;

Lu Shiyu had a headache and said: "But it's hard to catch such a big handle as Meng'......"

However, the princess of the county is pregnant. Cheng Meizhu said half-reminding, half-threatening, "If she was innocent and foolish that we thought earlier, she would be fine, but she is not a good person to get along with at this time......! Even General Huaihua is not affectionate, so he must punish us for being angry with her, right?

Knowing that Lu Shiyu was very loyal to Zhao Shi, he said, "If it's just that we are a little wronged, it's nothing, what I'm most afraid of is that the king of Mizhen County loves this very much, and when the time comes, I will believe her words, but we didn't take good care of her...... You know, Miss Zhao San's business. When I look back, the king of the county may think that we have a personal vendetta or something, and at that time, even General Huaihua will be thankless, how wronged should this be?"

Lu Shiyu's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said after a while: "In this battle in Western Xinjiang, as long as the king of Mizhen County can survive, he must be full-fledged and qualified to compete with the prince and the Meng family." ”

"And the Wuyi Camp and Jishan Camp under the hands of the county king will inevitably rise to the top!"

"By that time ......"

"You and I, even if it is General Huaihua, how can we go beyond the second battalion in front of him?"

"Is it difficult for us to work hard for so many years, just to be a cow?"

Cheng Meizhu was stunned for a moment and said, "How come? The princess of Mizhen County is the princess of the county who looks at it as an eyeball, isn't it that we are protecting?"

He knew that Lu Shiyu might not be thinking about the status and ranking after taking refuge in Rong Sleeping Crane, in the final analysis, he was too contradictory in his heart, and he would inevitably suffer from gains and losses, so he had to find all kinds of reasons to convince himself.

Just thinking about how to beat the side drum without leaving a trace, suddenly Lu Shiyu looked at him with electric eyes, and said meaningfully: "Lijie, I remember asking you your opinion on someone or something in the past, and you were all in the right position? Why since you arrived in the Western Xinjiang, you have tried every means to speak for the prince of Mizhen County and the princess of the county?

He said lightly, "I remember...... It is said that because of the friendship between the Xu and Sheng families, Ning Weihou has always regarded the children of the Sheng family, especially the princess of Mizhen County, whom Sheng Xinzhang loved as his daughter, as if he were his own and loved him. Presumably, Aiwu and Wu are also very fond of the king of Mizhen County?"

"What, Lijie you...... Do you also love the house and the black?"

Cheng Meizhu might as well say this, she was stunned for a moment, but then smiled easily and said, "General, do you suspect the last general?"

"Not doubts, but statements of facts. In fact, you don't have to be nervous, after all, Ning Weihou was a soldier back then, and his prestige was extremely high. Lu Shiyu said slowly, "Don't say that he is remembered as an old department, even if General Huaihua mentions it, it is said that Ning Weihou was born in the army, and he knows how to sympathize with the hard work of soldiers and low-level officers, in this regard, except for General Zhou, the generals of this dynasty can be said to be unmatched!"

"Ning Weihou's fame, the old people in Northern Xinjiang know it. Cheng Meizhu secretly sighed in her heart: You said so, but if Lao Tzu admits it, it will be stupid!

After all, Xu Zijing is already the former commander, and he is now taking refuge in Huaihua General Zhao Shi, and his recent promotion is also a favor from Zhao Shi, taking the benefits given by Zhao Shi but thinking of the boss in front of him...... Who would have no problem with such a subordinate?

Cheng Meizhu didn't know much about Xu Zijing and Rong Sleeping Crane's entire plan, and the task he got this time was to lurk and protect Sheng Weiqiao and others, and he must not reveal his stuff until he got new instructions.

Simply he can take on such an errand, and he can also mix under Lu Shiyu's hands, naturally he is not an idle person, and he said calmly at the moment, "But the reason why the last general is almost clearly biased in favor of Mizhen County King and his wife has nothing to do with Ning Weihou!"

Lu Shiyu looked at him with interest, and couldn't tell whether he believed it or not, so he only said, "Oh? Why is that? Could it be that these two nobles are especially in line with the eyes of the Li Festival?"

"General, have you thought about the future?" Cheng Meizhu shook his head and asked instead of answering, "We are all in our thirties and nearly forty years old, and we say that the Spring and Autumn Period is in full bloom, but in fact, we will have to serve old age in a few years." ”

"Thanks to General Huaihua's support, if there is no accident, the last general can earn a shade for the younger generations, three or four generations, if there is no loser, I think it will be worry-free. ”

At this point, his expression darkened, and he whispered, "But...... Where's Da Mu?"

Lu Shiyu was stunned, and didn't understand what he meant for a while: "What?"

"What about Da Mu?" Cheng Meizhu asked rhetorically, "This time, we have 5,000 elite horsemen to escort the princess of the county from the western frontier, and Ruru's Fuzhen has only received 3,000 elite cavalry...... Are you willing?"

“…… Are you pinning your hopes on the king of the county?" Lu Shiyu recalled the ambush of Ru Ru after the emergency consultation that day, if it wasn't for the archer who shot and injured the deputy general and friend Tuluti that Fu Zhen valued in time, then Fu Zhen would definitely not retreat so easily, and he had already rushed towards Lu Shiyu, that is, Sheng Weiqiao's direction!

The memory of the battle of guns and halberds in person surfaced that day, Lu Shiyu's face changed, and the Northern Xinjiang Army was the most valued by the imperial court, and the proud soldiers and fierce generals emerged in endlessly.

But such an arrogant soldier is not better than other border armies.

With Ruru?

In the end, it is not as good.

"Although I am young, my ancestors also ate this bowl of rice. Cheng Meizhu looked down at the felt carpet not far away, and said in a muffled voice, "When General Zhou was here, the Northern Xinjiang Army was not like this. At that time, with the grade of Old Lady Sheng, she casually led a team of people to sweep the grassland, burning, killing and looting...... Ah no, it's reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, coming and going calmly, Ruru is even helpless!"

"...... Now"

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, "Defend the city, and lose your armor!"

"Now the whole country is talking about how strong Ruru is, what is not a crime of war, and it is not caused by the stupidity of political enemies...... Those things in the temple, the last general and a rough person neither understand nor want to understand, and the last general only feels embarrassed. ”

"With the most generous military salary in the imperial court, he has the most elite reputation in the country...... And in the end?"

"Defeat after defeat, defeat after defeat!"

"That's why General Zhou's old book has not been defeated!"

"Otherwise......"

"General, as a general of Da Mu, I will say a damning word: It doesn't matter who sits in that seat, the last general. ”

"The last general just hopes that one day, he will be worthy of the treatment given by the imperial court, and worthy of the people of Li who are up and down this great Mu!!"

He raised his head, and his eyebrows were full of heavy sadness, "After all, we are the Northern Xinjiang Army, not the Southern Xinjiang Army, not the Western Xinjiang Army, not the coastal naval division, and not the forbidden army...... Our treatment, over the years, is better than that of the forbidden army!"

"In ancient times, Tanmaru Lang, who was forbidden by martial arts, still knew how to take people's money and eliminate disasters with people...... What about us?"

"Meng Jiaqian, a yellow-mouthed child, when Ru Ru invaded Da Mu and intended to intercept and kill the princess of the county, he still betrayed the family to warn us!"

"Could it be...... We're not as good as him?!"

"Didn't the last general say that he would be spared because of this...... The last general just thinks that after so many years of fighting in the court, isn't it, he has to take care of the people in the lower frontier?!"

Lu Shiyu closed his eyes and was speechless for a long time.

After a while, he closed his eyes and asked a little vaguely: "Are you so sure that Mizhen can do it?"

"If the King of Mizhen County can't do it, then who does the general think is better?" Cheng Meizhu asked calmly, "The prince, or the second prince who has been forgotten by everyone? Or do you think that the prince who is half a hundred years old, after defeating the Meng clan and practicing Zuo's ascension to the throne, can still be full of ambition at the age of more than fifty?"

Lu Shiyu only paused briefly this time, and said: "I will take Meng Jiaqian to the north first, hoping that before General Huaihua replies to this matter, the prince will not have a strong obstruction to come." ”

He paused, "If the prince insists on asking Meng Jiaqian to go to Chang'an...... We have to do what we are told. ”

Cheng Meizhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had passed this level, she squinted her eyes again, and secretly thought: "I have done everything I can do, and I will ...... next." I don't know if the Hou Ye can hold it over there in Chang'an?"
