There seem to be some prosperous and sultry places in Jilu Prefecture, but there are also some pickled places where the poor gather, and the order is chaotic. When Wang Hui first took office, he paid close attention to these places and sent some soldiers to strictly control them.

Wang Hui also wanted to inspect this place again, so he walked along the street quickly, at this time the cold wind hit, compared to the whole street just now there are many fewer people, everywhere is the fallen leaves that are turned with the wind, Wang Hui said to the guards next to him at this time: "Have you found out where the old man lives?" ”

"Back to Daduhu, this person lives in a small courtyard in the west of the city, according to neighbors, this person has been in the army, I heard that he enlisted in the army under the Xue County Gong in Pingyang."

Wang Hui said at this time: "General Xue Qianqiu is loyal and brave, he is my senior, and now going to see his soldiers can be regarded as remembering Xue Gong." His eldest son, Xue Ne, is now also a brave general, and has been praised by His Majesty. It's a pity that now I heard that she was exempted from being a commoner, and in the battle of Luanshui Valley, the other party was too cunning, in fact, Xue Ne was also a little underestimated. ”

One of the guards heard Wang Hui's tone of understanding for Xue Ne, so he said, "Maybe one day there will be an opportunity, and General Xue Ne will be unusually promoted by His Majesty." ”

Wang Hui seemed to acquiesce, and did not make any more noise, walked into an alley, and suddenly felt that there was a drop of water on his forehead, and looked towards the sky, it turned out to be raining.

The rain gradually turned into silk threads, and the roofs on both sides ticked non-stop, at this time the guards put a robe on Wang Hui's body, and several people walked forward quickly, turned a few alleys, and finally saw that the door of the courtyard was still open, Wang Hui pushed the door in, but saw that the courtyard was very sparse.

Walking into the courtyard, Wang Hui looked around for a week, and by the way saw the traces of roasting deer after the charcoal fire turned into ashes, and no one cleaned it up when it was placed in the yard.

Wang Hui said angrily: "Now that I have come here for the first time, I don't know the situation, I have a lot of experience in catching up with this old man, and I have a relationship with one side, how can I be so rude?" ”

The two guards had no choice but to look at Wang Hui and say to the inside: "The capital of Anbei has come to meet Wang Hui and disturbed the old man." ”

At this time, Lu Zheng walked out of the house, and when he saw that it was Wang Hui, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly welcomed him into the house. After a few words, Lu Zheng knew why Wang Hui came, these days, in fact, Lu Zheng also sees the poor people in Jilu Prefecture in his eyes, so when Wang Hui asked, he said: "Thanks to Wang Dadu's protection and love, I will know everything." ”

After that, Lu Zheng got up and closed the door, then sat down before slowly saying: "Since Dadu Hu took up this post, the poor people in various states have been relieved, but it is only a drop in the bucket, and the relief money and food cannot make ends meet. Nowadays, the poor people in Jilu Prefecture are gathered in the south of the city, and the overseas Chinese in Jilu Prefecture are governed by Huile, and no one cares about it here, only a few troops maintain order. However, Wang Duhu can bow down and come here, and there may already be a way. ”

Wang Hui couldn't help laughing and said, "With such sharp teeth, how do you know that I have a way?" ”

Lu Zheng said: "The Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is too far away, it takes a lot of time to convey military affairs, and the connection between the various post stations is not very good, so even if people are sleepy and lacking, sometimes it can't play a role." Therefore, the relief speed of these poor people cannot keep up, and why didn't the general integrate some people into the sequence of the border army, as to increase the city defense. ”

At this time, the guards behind also looked at each other, can this hungry man still join the army if he is low in battle? Who knew that Wang Hui suddenly said: "Okay, since you said so, I have decided that you will be in charge of these exile army, what do you think?" ”

As soon as these words came out, it went straight into Lu Zheng's heart like a shock, although this errand didn't sound very elegant, but throughout the ancient and modern times, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty fused the bronze horse, Qingcalf and other rogue army, and then developed and grew.

At this time, he was a little hesitant to let Lu Zheng take such a special official position, but Lu Zheng thought about it, this is also the best opportunity to experience, and he is practicing it at the beginning of the great cause. And most of these displaced people are gentle people, but they are forced to fall here.

Lu Zheng said: "Since most of the protectors can afford to be in the bottom, they are willing to take on this responsibility." ”

Since Wang Hui had entrusted this important task at this time, he said: "If you have merit, I can ask the Ministry of War to recommend you as the governor of the capital." ”

Lu Zheng arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

The two guards pushed open the door of the house, and the sunlight came in, and after Lu Zheng sent Wang Hui out of the door, he sat down in front of a few cases, dipped in ink, and began to write his gratitude to the old man on the paper.

Although this is not a great favor, but I also want to thank you, at this time, Lu Zheng's pen was hanging in the air, and he was full of thoughts.

At this time, there was a sound outside, the old man walked in, Lu Zheng hurriedly went up, saw the old gentleman wet all over, and said, "It's stormy outside, why did the old gentleman go out?" ”

The old man sighed: "The livelihood of this day is nothing more than firewood, rice, oil and salt. ”

At this time, Lu Zheng said with relief: "The old gentleman is working so hard, I am still a little disturbed here." Now that I've got a job, I won't stay here any longer. ”

The old man was silent when he heard this, and said later: "It should be the kindness of Wang Dadu, it is good to enter the official mansion, but intrigue is inevitable." Take the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate as a remote place, and the Gyeonggi Heavy Land is the one where you fight and fight, and you can't be peaceful. ”

Lu Zheng said again: "Didn't the old gentleman teach me to move forward fearlessly, then I should be steady when I open the bow and be ruthless when I shoot the arrow, I have also remembered it in my heart." As for the intrigue in the land of Gyeonggi, I have my own measure. ”

"Proportion is proportion, but sometimes people can't look at things from the front to the end." The old man's voice was loud.

Lu Zheng didn't say anything at this time, and the old man put some loose silver into his baggage, Lu Zheng bowed his hand to the old man, pushed open the door and saw that the sky was already clear, and then walked out with the burden on his back. It seems like yesterday to meet the old man, but he has also learned a lot, and he has matured in this new environment. As for the unknown situation, he will break through it himself, and in the end, he still needs to walk this road by himself.

After Lu Zheng stepped out of the threshold of the courtyard, the two sergeants waited outside the gate of the mansion, watched Lu Zheng get dressed, and said, "Most of the guards have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Lu Zheng said: "Lu Zheng is a cloth cloth, and it is a lifelong honor to be able to get the love of Dadu Protection." ”

Lu Zheng walked forward with the soldiers, and one of the soldiers said on the way: "Actually, the reason why Dadu Hu asked you to do this is not only because of your trust, but also because it takes more time to form these exile army. Our regular army cannot draw people, so we can only let an outside person do it. And most of the protectors said that they were impressed by you, seeing that you were young and vigorous, and you could humbly ask for advice on archery, so I had this thought. ”

Lu Zheng didn't expect that he would be seen practicing archery that day, and he would be appreciated, but since this is already the case, no matter what Wang Hui's deep meaning is, he will do it.
