If you listen to what the minister said, she can't help but be a little worried, "But without the emperor's order, how dare you recruit bandits privately?" If you attract people because of this, won't the gains outweigh the losses? ”

"Might as well!" When Lu Zuo said, he seemed to be aware that he was taking some risks, but since this step has been taken, if you don't try it, how do you know if it will work, "As the saying goes, 'the king's life will not be affected by the king', at that time, the wood has already been completed, and they can make meritorious contributions when they retreat, and the emperor will definitely be rewarded!" ”

Quietly looked at the confident Xianggong, and believed in his heart that he would be able to handle it, but this trip was far away and full of dangers, how could Xianggong's body be able to bear it, so an idea sprouted in his heart, that is, to go with the army together, "Xianggong, I will also go with the army." ”

Lu Zuo looked at his wife's resolute and resolute eyes, knowing that she must be worried that her body would not be able to bear it, so he smiled and said: "The army is full of men, you are the county lord, how can you suffer from this!" ”

Quietly replied, "I have to go, I don't worry." ”

Lu Zuo glanced at Yin Ji and Chen Huizhi, "With the two of them here, the lady can rest assured, and Gao Yun is my sworn brother, so there is nothing to worry about." The trip is fair and foolproof. ”

Yin Ji and Chen Huizhi saw that their husbands and wives seemed to have something wrong with their faces, and they didn't dare to interject, so they lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.

If he was quiet, he stopped talking, and only lowered his head to eat, and did not say a word for half his life. This made Lu Zuo a little flustered, so he smiled and said: "I know that the lady will be worried at that time, I promise to keep a letter every three days to keep safe, and I will not keep dragging on the war over there, I will come back as soon as possible." ”

Jing Ruo raised his head and smiled slightly. Yin Ji saw that the anger of the master and the master and the master had disappeared, and he also joined in the fun and said, "Master didn't expect that you are not only a good master, but also a good husband. With that, he also gave the master a thumbs up.

Everyone present laughed when they heard this. The atmosphere gradually eased, and everyone began to feel the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After eating quietly, he took out a few boxes of moon cakes from the cabinet and put them on the table, "Ji'er, let's all go to the moon together in a while!" ”

Yin Ji nodded vigorously, "Hmm...... With my wife here, I really feel at home. ”

Lu Zuo smiled and shook his head, "You kid, why is your mouth so sweet now." ”

The night wind in the courtyard was gusting, and a bright moon in the sky illuminated the courtyard. The main house of Lufu was also repaired two days ago, and the osmanthus tree in front of the door was full of fragrance, covering the faint smell of paint in the newly renovated house of the main house. So Jing Jingruo asked Chen Huizhi and Yin Jixuan to put incense on the incense table under the osmanthus tree, fold the moon cakes, and the four of them began to worship the moon.

After saluting, the four of them stood up and began to chat. Quietly, looking at the osmanthus flowers falling all over the ground, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Lu Zuo then took off the cloak on his body and put it on Jingruo, "What? Did you miss your father? Seeing that Jing Jingruo nodded in frustration, he comforted, "Why don't we go to visit his old man in a while?" ”

Jing Jingruo shook her head, "I'm just sad, I've spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with my father for so many years, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is the first time I'm not by his old man's side!" ”

As he was talking, Lao Pan walked quickly from outside the verandah, holding a letter in his left hand and a pear blossom gift box in his right hand, and came to Lu Zuo and Jing Ruo to give a salute, "I've seen the old man and the lady." ”

"Old Pan, why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Zuo pointed to the thing in his hand, "This is?" ”

Lao Pan first raised the gift box in his right hand, "Oh, this is a festival gift sent by the Pingyuan Bofu, it is a few boxes of moon cakes." Then he held up the yellow envelope in his left hand, "This is a letter from the south." After that, he handed over the gift box to Yin Ji, and handed the envelope in his hand to Lu Zuo, and then respectfully retired.

When Lu Zuo opened the envelope and looked at it, it turned out to be a letter sent by his younger brother Lu Renxiang from Suzhou. Hearing that his brother was wrongfully imprisoned, his brother tossed and turned from side to side, eager to go to prison with his brother. Later, I learned that my brother was unharmed, and I was wronged, and I waited for the edict in Hanlin, and my brother was also sad and happy. Suzhou is cold in autumn, often feeling the moon and cherishing relatives, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching but there is no reunion, which is really regrettable. Degraded to this point, the time will be half a year, feeling that the mother is thousands of miles away from here, thinking of the brother from Yu Qiuyue, hoping that one day together with the mother's knees, working together with the saint to the front, loyal and filial, never forget. When the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, my brother should make a shadow of the wind and look at this month with my brother to relieve my thoughts. Don't read it! Foolish Brother: The Book of Renxiang"

Lu Zuo read the letter, raised his head to look at the moon with his hands behind his back, two lines of tears poured out, the emotions in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and Quiet Ruo approached to hold his hand holding the letter without speaking.

Yin Ji also thanked Lu Renxiang for coming well, so he comforted the master and said, "Master, didn't you say that you want Second Brother Lu to come back?" ”

looked at Lu Zuo quietly and suspiciously, "Xianggong, do you want Renxiang to come back?" ”

Lu Zuo silently bowed his head and did not speak, with a melancholy expression, as if he had not recovered from the letter just now.

"But how easy is that?" If you know the emperor quietly, even if the emperor now trusts Xianggong and agrees to be transferred back to Beijing, I am afraid that the prince will also interfere with it.

"It's not easy!" In Lu Zuo's cold eyes, he lightly spit out a few words, "But I will also find a way to get Renxiang back." ”

Jing Ruo looked at Xiang Gong, who had resolute eyes, and she believed that he would definitely do it, "But aren't you going to the west now?" ”

"So that's the crux of the matter, and when it's done, everything will fall into place!" Lu Zuo squinted his eyes slightly, his cold gaze and the bright moonlight complemented each other.

That night, after helping Lu Zuo sort out his luggage and belongings, the two of them went to bed peacefully. Quietly pillowed on Lu Zuo's arm, but there were tears in his eyes, and his worries about Xianggong's expedition tomorrow were indescribable, and he was silent for a long time, and his originally hard heart softened, and he cried out with a "wow". Lu Zuo stroked his wife's jet-black hair with his right hand, and whispered: "Jingruo, don't worry, this expedition to the west, I promise you that you will return safe and sound." ”

"But......" Jingruo choked up a little, "but I heard that the marshal of the Great Fan Kingdom is very powerful, and even Xun Mou has suffered his loss." ”

Lu Zuo swore a smile, "This time, the commander of the coalition forces of the Great Fan Kingdom and the Qita Kingdom is Xiruo Zanzhuo, I have dealt with him, and I still know something about him, so I am sure of this behavior!" ”
