Chapter 191: Letter from the Imperial Court
"Lord Guo, are you planning to be a good man!" Lu Xiaoxian snorted coldly, "When I arrived in Taozhou, the two countries exchanged troops, and it was a battlefield." There are no eyes on the battlefield, who do you expect to save face for you? ”
Guo Zhen nodded slightly, what Lu Xiaoxian said was not unreasonable.
"Your Majesty sent them here to protect you and me, and as they are now, I am not happy to give them your life with confidence!"
"And what do you want?" Guo Zhen asked.
"Completely dispel their arrogance and make them feel ashamed. As the saying goes, shame comes courage, and only in this way can they become a reliable force! ”
After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Guo Zhen couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Master Lu, I learned another trick from you!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian suddenly asked, "Where did Captain Chen go?" Why didn't you see him? ”
Guo Zhen laughed and said: "He is most afraid of you now, of course he is hiding far away!" ”
"Hiding is not the way to go!" Lu Xiaoxian showed a weird smile on his face, "I have to ask Lord Guo to invite Captain Chen to come!" ”
Guo Zhen did not shirk, and called a Yulin soldier to invite Chen Xuanli.
After a while, Chen Xuanli hurried over.
"The last general has seen Lu Gongzi!" Chen Xuanli saluted Lu Xiaoxian.
Although Lu Xiaoxian has no official position, Chen Xuanli is very jealous of him.
On the one hand, His Majesty has confessed, and the task of his trip is to protect Lu Xiaoxian's safety.
On the other hand, Lu Xiaoxian has been tossing and suffering from his strength these days.
The war in Taozhou has started again, and how many good men will make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, which makes Chen Xuanli feel itchy.
Chen Xuanli has been in the army for many years, and he values military merit the most in his bones, if he can kill a few battles in the front, even if he dies, it is worth it.
It stands to reason that the Yulin Army does not need to go to the battlefield at all to guard the imperial capital, but Chen Xuanli took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Taozhou battlefield to kill the enemy.
On the day His Majesty summoned Chen Xuanli, he was very excited, thinking that His Majesty had allowed him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy for the country. Unexpectedly, the task given to him by His Majesty was to escort Lu Xiaoxian to Taozhou and ensure Lu Xiaoxian's safety at all costs.
Being able to go to Taozhou but not being able to go to the battlefield is like a hungry person looking at a bowl of meat but not being able to eat it, isn't this torture?
However, His Majesty's order
Chen Xuanli could not disobey.
Escort just escort, but Lu Xiaoxian had the ingenuity to let him set up a martial arts competition with the slave for fun. was so noisy, not only did the marching speed slow down, but also made the Yulin soldiers brought with him a miasma, which discredited the Yulin army, and he couldn't even straighten his waist with him.
couldn't provoke Chen Xuanli, so he had to hide, but Lu Xiaoxian was haunted and wanted to pester him. The sergeant came to invite Chen Xuanli, and although he was 10,000 unhappy in his heart, he could only come hard.
Lu Xiaoxian pointed to a chair beside him and said with a smile: "Captain Chen, please take a seat!" ”
"Thank you Gongzi Lu, it's better for the last general to stand!" Chen Xuanli politely declined Lu Xiaoxian.
Lu Xiaoxian didn't mind, and said to Chen Xuanli seriously: "Captain Chen, I know that you are not happy in your heart, you have caused you a lot of trouble along the way, and I am here to make amends to you!" ”
"The last general doesn't dare to be, Lu Gongzi is polite!"
Lu Xiaoxian's abnormality made Chen Xuanli feel a little vigilant in his heart: what is he going to do.
Lu Xiaoxian said lightly: "Let's compete for the last one, no matter what the result is, the matter of setting up a martial arts competition is over." I don't know what Captain Chen thinks? ”
Chen Xuanli looked at Lu Xiaoxian suspiciously, but he couldn't see any clues, he didn't believe that there would be such a good thing, and asked suspiciously: "Lu Gongzi, what you said is true?" ”
"Of course it's true!" Lu Xiaoxian pointed at Guo Zhen, "Lord Guo can testify!" ”
Chen Xuanli looked at Guo Zhen, Guo Zhen nodded at him, signaling that he was relieved!
Chen Xuanli believed it at this time, and he hurriedly saluted Lu Xiaoxian again: "The last general thanked Lu Gongzi!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled faintly, "But I can say it in the front, although it is the last game, but I have the final say on how to compete!" ”
Chen Xuanli raised his eyebrows, it seems that the moth is here, so he said, how could Lu Xiaoxian suddenly change his sex?
Chen Xuanli asked tentatively, "Master Lu, I don't know what kind of test method you are going to make?" ”
"I can't say it yet, please ask Captain Chen to choose the strongest ten people, you will know how to compete later!" Lu Xiaoxian's tone is very tight, and he will definitely not reveal anything now.
Chen Xuanli was a little hesitant, he didn't know if Lu Xiaoxian was digging a hole for himself, in case he jumped in stupidly, he didn't cry in the end
Place to cry.
Guo Zhen knew Chen Xuanli's thoughts, and said with relief on the side: "Captain Chen, since Gongzi Lu said that this is the last competition, then you should hurry up and prepare, with me here to testify, what are you worried about?" ”
Chen Xuanli is not at ease with Lu Xiaoxian, but he trusts Guo Zhen more. When His Majesty gave Chen Xuanli the task, Guo Zhen was also present, and Chen Xuanli still regarded Guo Zhen as his own in his heart!
Chen Xuanli finally made a decision, he hugged his fists towards the two and said, "The last general will obey the order, go and prepare now, please wait for Gongzi Lu and Master Guo!" ”
Looking at Chen Xuanli's figure in a hurry, Guo Zhen said to Lu Xiaoxian worriedly: "Lu Gongzi, your idea is right, but I have to remind you, don't do it!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly: "Master Guo, we haven't known each other for a day or two, have you seen that I have done unreliable things?" ”
Now that it's up to this, Guo Zhen can't say anything more.
At this moment, a sergeant came to report: "Lord Guo, someone from the post station came to deliver a letter, saying that the imperial court sent a fast horse to deliver it!" ”
"A letter from the imperial court?" Guo Zhen asked strangely: "Is it for me?" ”
"It's not! It's for Mr. Lu! The sergeant replied.
"Oh?" Now it's Lu Xiaoxian's turn to be surprised, who in the court will send a letter to him?
Lu Xiaoxian took the letter and read it, he was silent for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"What's wrong?" Guo Zhen asked worriedly, "Isn't it that Your Majesty has any orders?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and handed the letter in his hand to Guo Zhen.
After Guo Zhen finished reading it, he was also speechless for a long time.
After a long while, Guo Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Lu, what do you mean by Di Ge Lao?" ”
"How do I know?" Lu Xiaoxian said with a wry smile, "Elder Di Ge also looks down on me too much, and even the chief catcher of the Criminal Department has been assigned to me to command!" ”
"Leng Qing, the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, I have heard of this person, he is selfless and very difficult to deal with!" Guo Zhen pondered, "The imperial court sent him to detain the Taozhou assassin Shi and return to Beijing, I guess Di Ge is always afraid that it will affect the war in Taozhou, so I let Leng Qing do what you order!" ”
"I think that's the case!" Lu Xiaoxian sighed, "Look at me, there is a dart team, an envoy, a feather forest, and now there is a chief arrester of the criminal department, it is simply a hodgepodge!" ”
