Chapter 712: Asking for Someone? Heart-to-heart?
Horses' hooves gallop and dirt splashes.
Du Juan and Lu Changxian each rode a horse, and traveled with several generals to the Quartet Medicine Shop.
I don't know if the entourage will be too anxious, or if he doesn't understand the world at all.
Along the way, the generals only galloped, and they didn't even have a few polite words with the cuckoo.
The cuckoo caught up with the general several times, opened his mouth to talk to him, but every time he didn't have time to speak, he saw the general as if he didn't realize it, waved his horsewhip, and galloped away.
Lu Xunyi, who had been following Du Juan, saw this situation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head in his heart.
In the past few days, I have been by Du Juan's side, and I still have a little understanding of Du Juan's thoughts about wanting to make friends in the army.
It's just that Fang Shuai's attitude towards the Ming Wangfu is very clear, and who of the generals in this army dares to commit taboos and have a personal relationship with her?
The left general in front, this person is one of the famous Seven Tiger Generals under Fang Shuai, although this person Lu Xunyi has no deep friendship, he is also familiar.
He knew very well that this person was by no means an unsophisticated person, and this gesture was clearly a volume that he deliberately did not want to get close to the cuckoo, and did not want to offend, so he deliberately galloped all the way and did not give the cuckoo a chance to answer.
Lu Xunyi looked at the cuckoo hitting the wall several times, sighed lightly in his heart, worried that the cuckoo was young and couldn't save face, so he stepped forward and smiled at the cuckoo: "Mr. Du, this general Zuo's department is the main force defending the city this time. ”
When Du Juan heard this, he finally slowed down his horse, turned his head, and smiled: "What Your Excellency said is reasonable, but Du doesn't know anything, and he really shouldn't come forward to talk at this time, it doesn't matter if he delays the trip, and it is too much to delay the life of the sons in the army." ”
When Lu Xunyi heard this, he looked at her face carefully, and found that her complexion was bright, her eyes were clear, and she didn't have any resentment.
I have to say that Lu Xunyi's attitude towards her before was probably still respectful, not that he had any opinions on Du Juan.
But no matter what, the cuckoo is a daughter in the end, and she is also a descendant of the Daomen.
Lu Xunyi is still a little taboo, worried that if he gets too close to her, he will be criticized, and he will be flattered to a younger generation of women, and he is shameless.
But after getting along for a few days, Lu Xunyi already knew that this cuckoo was indeed not allowed to have eyebrows, and it could be reused by King Ming, and it was not in vain.
At this time, Lu Xunyi really had a good relationship with her, and thoughts flashed in his eyes, Lu Xunyi said: "Lu has been in the army for some time, although he has not had a deep relationship with General Zuo, but he is still familiar, if Mr. Du has something to discuss with General Zuo, why don't you wait until you get to the Quartet Pharmacy, then Lu will go to say hello to General Zuo first." ”
When Du Juan heard this, he suddenly looked surprised, but when he shook his head, he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency is kind, Du is grateful, but at this time, Du will leave in a few days, but Your Excellency will stay in the army for a long time. ”
"Mr. is too worried, Lu Mou can't open his mouth, and the army also knows that Lu Mou is a person from the Ming Palace." Lu Xunyi waved his hand.
"It's still different, everything has a degree, although you and I are both from the Ming Palace. But Fang Shuai can tolerate Your Excellency, but he can't tolerate Du. The cuckoo shook his head.
"Oh?" Lu Xunyi raised his eyes, as if puzzled.
Du Juan said with a smile: "First, you can really use your Excellency in the army, and second, your Excellency has come to the army when the first emperor was there, and the first emperor can tolerate this matter, and the new monarch can only admit it, at least on the surface, there is no way to use this as an excuse to make it difficult for the marshal." But now that Du is here, it is the new monarch's landing dynasty, which is very different from the scene when the first emperor was there. ”
"The first emperor and Fang Shuai have had a friendship with the monarch and ministers for many years, but he did not have this friendship with the new monarch. The new monarch is in the dynasty, for the courtiers, especially the generals in the troubled times, there is no friendship between the monarch and the minister, but it is full of suspicion, and every move is slightly out of line, which will cause great trouble. Now that the new monarch and Fang Shuai are at odds with each other because of whether they withdraw the army or not, if Fang Shuai accepts Du at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the world about his rebellion? ”
"Fang Shuai would not do such a taboo thing, so it is natural for Du to be treated coldly. As for Your Excellency, as long as you do things in the army as you have done in the past, then you have nothing to worry about. But if you help Du to run and be a lobbyist, then I am afraid it will inevitably make it difficult for Fang Shuai and the army. The cuckoo smiled and explained softly.
Lu Xunyi was silent when he heard this, and he had to say that Du Juan's words shocked him a lot.
To be honest, before he listened to Du Juan's words, he definitely didn't understand the situation as well as he does now.
Before, he didn't go to help Cuckoo as a lobbyist, but Cuckoo didn't take the initiative to beg him, and he didn't want to show too much flattery.
Now that he really had the idea of making friends, he took the initiative to say that he wanted to help, of course, this also somewhat means that he wants to show his ability in front of the cuckoo.
After being in the army for such a long time, he thought that although he couldn't affect Fang Shuai, he still had a little bit of a thin face with several generals under Fang Shuai.
Cuckoo wants to make friends in the army, several times and three times, if he can come forward, the situation has improved, not to mention how much credit, at least Cuckoo here, always remember his feelings......
However, after listening to Du Juan's words at this moment, although Du Juan said politely, how could he not understand that his own face, in this matter, I am afraid that not only will not play half a role, but will even take himself in.
While secretly ashamed and embarrassed in my heart, there was also a sudden surge of monstrous waves.
With such an intuitive comparison, he had to immediately find that his pattern vision was fundamentally different from that of the cuckoo.
The two of them don't seem to be on the same level at all, and the height of considering the problem is simply a day and a place.
"It's no wonder that at such a young age, a woman can be regarded as a left and right for King Ming, and he is entrusted with important tasks, and his own group is a Dao Sect Sect Master, but he can only fight on this battlefield......" Lu Xunyi looked at Du Juan's young face, and he sighed in his heart.
put away his feelings, and now he is completely convinced, and hugged his fist at Du Juan: "It's Lu who is arrogant and makes Mr. laugh." ”
The cuckoo returned the salute and said: "Your Excellency's heart to help me this time, Cuckoo remembers!" ”
When Lu Xunyi heard this, his face looked a little better, and he raised his eyes to look at the soldiers in front of him, shook his head and said, "If Mr. said so, wouldn't Mr. already know about this ......?"
Lu Xunyi paused, as if he didn't know what words to use to describe it, it was slightly better.
"Your Excellency doesn't need to make a long face for me, indeed, I came here at this time, I really knew that I couldn't do it, and I was doing useless work at all, of course, it's okay to say that I was humiliating myself." Cuckoo smiled.
"Sir, don't get me wrong, Lu has no such intention, sir, there must be a deep meaning." Lu Xunyi was afraid that Du Juan would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.
Du Juan smiled and said that he didn't mind, his eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed in his heart, "It's really useless, but in the previous situation, even if you know that you are doing useless work, you can't help it, it's better than doing nothing." ”
Of course, this will naturally not be said to Lu Xunyi, but only said: "It's okay, Du didn't really want to do anything, show his mind, it is best to make the army accept it, and it doesn't matter if you can't accept it." As the saying goes, the army will understand our good intentions sooner or later, and will eventually make a wise choice. ”
"Seeing ......people's hearts for a long time" Lu Xunyi saw that the cuckoo was not discouraged at all, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now that the new monarch has become a dynasty, I am afraid that time will not wait for anyone......"
"We can afford to wait!" When the cuckoo heard this, he seemed to be in a good mood, waved his horsewhip, and said with a bright smile.
Lu Xunyi watched her gallop away, his eyes couldn't help but pause slightly, he didn't know if it was an illusion, he only felt that the cuckoo didn't seem to be smiling, but really not in a hurry.
Thinking of the pictures of Du Juan trying to get close to the generals in the army in the past few days, and then looking at her open-minded appearance at this time, Lu Xunyi frowned slightly, and always felt that something was wrong.
But in an instant, he waved away the doubts in his heart, at this moment, he at least understood a little, some things his pattern may really not be enough, since this is the case, then there is no need to worry about the sky, the things of the upper level, there are Ming Wang and Du Juan to consider.
Since the cuckoo said that he could afford to wait, and since the cuckoo was not in a hurry, it was best to explain that so far, the Ming Wangfu is still as stable as Mount Tai.
………………
……
The cuckoo was really not in a hurry, but he wanted to forcibly touch the porcelain on Fang Shuai's body before.
But after hearing Hua Mingfu's sentence "The new emperor changed the yuan, and the king of Ming granted the official", she had already given up.
No one knows better than her what the new monarch's accession to the throne means to the Ming Palace.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a life-and-death battle between the new king and the king of Ming.
Let the new monarch ascend the throne openly, which is almost equivalent to the Ming Wangfu to fight on the home field of the new monarch, and also take the initiative to send a murderous knife to the new monarch.
This is a big gamble, if you win, you will open the sky, and if you lose, your family will be ruined.
Du Juan didn't know what the battle situation was at that time, but with just the words "King Ming awarded the official", she knew that the Ming Wangfu had won, the Ming King had won, and it was a big victory.
Because of the battle for the throne, as long as King Ming is still alive, he will win.
The new king and the king of Ming have long been incompatible, but whenever there is a war, there will be no compromise, only you live and die.
If there is a compromise scene, it can only mean that the new monarch has lost and the Ming king has won.
Du Juan is indeed no longer in a hurry to win over the army, and her purpose in winning the army is also to win for King Ming and increase the weight.
Now that you've won, what's the hurry.
Along the way, the reason why he knew that it had no effect, but he still had to make it look like he was going to talk to General Zuo, but it was not good that he suddenly changed his behavior, which made people suspicious.
After all, these days, she has been looking for generals in the army everywhere, and now she is offering medicine, and people with discerning eyes can see what she wants to do.
Such a good opportunity to talk to a general, wouldn't it seem abnormal if she suddenly stopped talking to the general?
It's always good to be careful in everything, and there are always smart people in this world, such as Hua Mingfu.
She just knew that King Ming in Beijing was fine with Hua Mingfu, and suddenly gave up looking for porcelain in the army.
From this, it is very possible to speculate that Du Juan knew in advance that King Ming might have an accident in Beijing, so she desperately touched porcelain in the army, wanting to pull reinforcements for King Ming, and now she learned that King Ming was fine, so she gave up.
From this, you can think a little deeper, the cuckoo has come to the army a few days ago, and as soon as he comes to the army, he will do something to win over.
Doesn't this show that as early as when she left Beijing, the Ming Wangfu had expected that something might happen at the enthronement ceremony.
But at that time, Qu Guochang was not dead, and His Majesty couldn't talk about the situation of uniting the Lin family to frame the Ming Wangfu by taking advantage of Qu Guochang's death.
Or, the King of Ming as Your Majesty said has already controlled the forbidden army and placed His Majesty under house arrest......
In order to prevent these possible speculations, Du Juan had to deal with the aftermath, so even if he was no longer in a hurry to win over Fang Shuai's side, today he still looked for an opportunity to talk to him in front of all the generals as he had originally intended.
This is what is done for outsiders to see, the beginning and end of the action before cleaning up.
Of course, the medicinal herbs still have to be delivered, and they must be arranged without any mistakes.
In the Quartet Medicine Shop, Du Juan did not deliberately approach General Zuo again, after all, after being snubbed several times, Du Juan is also a person who wants to save face!
However, he still did it himself, watching the guys deliver boxes of medicinal materials to the military.
And in front of General Zuo, let people open every box of medicinal materials and check the quality of medicinal materials.
Later, in front of General Zuo, he personally ordered the shopkeeper of the medicine store to prepare the preparation of the next batch of medicinal materials immediately.
As the cuckoo said, it will be seen in the hearts of the people over time.
For Fang Shuai's side, she is not in a hurry, but she really doesn't want to win over.
There was no way before, and choosing to rush was the next step.
Now she is not in a hurry, she no longer asks for help, but wants to attack her heart.
When General Zuo was leaving, the slightly hesitant gaze that looked at her proved that the cuckoo's movements still worked.
After the cuckoo saw him leave, his face slowly became solemn, and he returned to his residence as soon as possible.
"King Ming can have a letter!"
"Yes, Beijing is urgent, please read it in person!"
"Bring it!"
The cuckoo didn't have time to change his clothes and clean his hands, so he entered the study as soon as he could, and he needed to know the specific situation in Beijing immediately.
King Ming won, although it was a great joy.
But how to win is also the key.
Is the new monarch really forced by the power of King Ming and didn't dare to fight for his life?
Or is the new monarch already in trouble, and he has already fought a dragon and tiger before he narrowly won?
How is the new monarch now, how is the king of Ming, how is the court, and what is the world?
"Stay at the door, no one is allowed to approach without my orders!"
"Yes!"
took the letter, and fell with her instructions, the wind was slightly directional, and several figures settled in front of the door.
Lu Xunyi, who came with her, looked at the two people at the door, Lu Xunyi knew that he was the grandmaster of the former Huangting Mansion, and one of them had white hair, and his rank was still above him.
Lu Xunyi settled at the door for a moment, looked at the two of them, was silent for a moment, and then looked up at the door that had been closed.
Eventually, he slowly withdrew.
In the study, the cuckoo looked at the handwriting on the envelope.
At a glance, he recognized that it was Ah Jiu's character.
Taking a deep breath, she opened the envelope, and the study fell silent.
At the same time, the same silence was maintained in the cave pavilion above the castle tower.
The light in the cave was not good, and there were candles flickering.
Vaguely, Fang Youqun's moved expression, and Hua Mingfu's appearance was still in shock and could not be suppressed.
Between the two, an unopened letter lay quietly on the table.
