Lu Zheng naturally knew what the old man meant, and those who were promoted to the court as officials all came step by step like this. Determined to be a young man with a pendulum, after more than ten years, the lucky ones will be able to ascend to today's court.

But at this time, he didn't have such an idea, after all, everything here was very strange to him, and this stuffed place was boundless, so that his heart was not settled.

Seeing the sunset in the western mountains, Lu Zheng held his chin in front of the courtyard and looked at the tall mountains in the distance, Lu Zheng knew that at this time, there were hidden dangers from the north in the Tang Dynasty, and there were intrusions from the Turkic tribes, the Huangjiasi, the Khitan, the Xi, the Tubo, and the Hui tribes. And the relationship between several countries can not be generalized, or united or endless, among which the Huangjia is to fight the post-Turks, and the Tang Dynasty has become an ally in recent years.

At this time, he was sitting on a chair, and the old man was washing in the courtyard with a basin of water, and seeing that Lu Zheng was full of thoughts, he couldn't help asking, "Lu Zheng, what are you thinking?" ”

Lu Zheng said slowly: "Does the old gentleman know about the wolf Juxu Mountain? ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said: "Feng Wolf Juxu Mountain, Zen in Guyan, and Ascend to Hanhai, this is the merit of the hussar general Huo Quai, and there have not been many people who have made this merit in the past eight hundred years. ”

When the old man spoke, he was extremely sure, Lu Zheng knew that this feat was not so simple, the Han Dynasty was founded more than 60 years ago before he dared to go out of Mobei, this is the Han Emperor Wen to recuperate, to moralize the people, even the pampered through the palaces of the Shen lady, all of them are not dragged to the ground, and the curtains are not embroidered. And Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty set the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, to Emperor Wu when he controlled the generals, the soldiers pointed out, there were two generals of Wei Huo, who traveled thousands of miles through the desert and fought for the king's generals.

Lu Zheng was thoughtful at this time, but he couldn't speak, and the old man could also see Lu Zheng's ambition in his heart. After the old man washed, he wanted to go back to the house to rest, but Lu Zheng was still sitting there motionless.

The night was quiet, and the sound of beating from afar, from far to near, Lu Zheng knew that there were not too many people in the city, and many houses were empty. Lu Zheng also stretched his waist and was about to walk towards the side room.

At this time, the city wall of Jilu Prefecture was brightly lit, and the soldiers did not dare to relax, although the Turks would not capture this place for the time being, but at this time, Wang Hui, who was the capital protector of Anbei and also served as the general manager of the Shuofang Road march, had already ordered the states not to be careless against the enemy. Wang Hui is always strict with his subordinates, so the style of his subordinate troops is very strict.

As long as the border generals are good at leading troops, and the people in the border areas are obedient, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty must be unbreakable, although sometimes foreign invasions are successful, but as long as the Son of Heaven sends good generals to expedition in all directions, the gains and losses of this city and place are not so important. Therefore, instead of occupying several cities, it is better to have elite soldiers. If the city is lost, it can be regained, and good will be hard to find.

The moonlight was faint, Lu Zheng entered the house, he was not sleepy at this time, he sat in front of the window, flipping through the books, and by the way, he could hear the sound of the watch on time.

During the third watch, Lu Zheng was tired of reading, so he went out of the house to prepare to lock the door, and before he reached the door, he heard the neighing of horses in the streets and alleys. Looking along the gap in the mansion gate, groups of cavalry came one after another, and Lu Zheng thought that this should be a soldier patrolling the night.

Judging from the figures peeping through the gaps, this should be a small group of soldiers, all dressed in armor, with bright swords at their waists, and at first glance they are regular soldiers.

Lu Zheng put his ear on the door and heard the general say: "General Wang is trusted by the imperial court, so the town is here, and the appointment of General Wang is not only the foresight of our emperor, but also bound to make my Anbei capital protect the mansion without worry." ”

The rest of the sergeants all nodded, Lu Zheng looked carefully, these soldiers were going to the city tower, and the general among them seemed to be the leader of the army, with a beard on his face, looking very vicissitudes.

When the horse team drove to the door where Lu Zheng was, the leading general jumped off the horse, looked at the damaged low door in front of him, and couldn't help but say, "This room is also old." ”

As soon as these words came out, several soldiers surrounded him and said, "Does the general think there is something wrong?" ”

The general didn't say anything, but he knocked on the door, Lu Zheng knew that not accepting inquiries from officials and soldiers was tantamount to being in the same league with thieves. So he opened the door, and just as the military academy and Lu Zheng looked at each other, without waiting for the officer to ask, Lu Zheng said: "Lu Zheng, who is in the grass, has seen all the military masters, but I don't know what the military masters are visiting late at night, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Lu Zheng's words were extremely careful, and even his breathing was so real at this time, the leading military academy looked around and said, "The city needs to be cleared of all suspicious people, I hope you cooperate with us, don't hide evil spirits." ”

"Yes, yes, sir. This desert south of the land is the screen of the country, and the villain is clothed, just hoping to save his life, how dare he have any selfish intentions, let alone hide treacherous evil. ”

Lu Zheng did not have a trace of fear, and said very cautiously. Because he knew that it was easier for others to suspect him in a fluster, and he was just here for a while, and he didn't have any dissent.

And these people can casually break the door into the homes of ordinary people in the middle of the night, and they are not easy to mess with.

Lu Zheng saw that these soldiers did not leave for a long time, so he said respectfully: "You military masters are working so hard, you might as well come in and sit down." ”

The leading military academy just now didn't speak for a long time, and then suddenly asked, "Is there anyone else in this courtyard?" ”

"There is another old gentleman, but in the middle of the night, he has already fallen asleep."

That is, as soon as Lu Zheng stopped speaking, the military academy looked at Lu Zheng carefully, and under the gloomy night, Lu Zheng's heart seemed to be surging. I was listening at the door just now, although I didn't listen to all the words, but these soldiers might think that they were acting strangely, and they might not be taken away by these soldiers for careful interrogation. In this era, even if you don't do bad things, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and sometimes only promises are worth a thousand words.

In fact, the military academy also adheres to the heart of not disturbing the people, but the border city is eventful, and such vigilance is also human nature.

The suspicion on the face of the military academy just now turned to normal at this time, but it took out an official document easily, Lu Zheng saw that it was a notice signed by the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and after Lu Zheng quickly swept it, he knew that the Metropolitan Protectorate should increase its efforts to protect the territory and the people.

The military academy took back the official document and gave it a warning look before leaving. At this time, Lu Zheng's hanging heart sank, and he walked towards the house with his head down, stepping on the stone-paved road, and every step of the creak was audible.

The morning light was about to pierce the bleak sky, the breeze between the sky swept through the hustle and bustle floating on the earth, Lu Zheng lay in the house extremely tired, he didn't have a good rest overnight, the visit of those soldiers made him understand that in this northern wasteland, the bright and the calm are stable, but the dark waves are surging.

Maybe there is no long-term stability under this vast heaven, and it will make your heart tremble wherever you go.
