Gao Yanzong raised his head suspiciously, looked at Lan Qianzhen with his mouth open, although he was speechless, he had already asked with an expression, Lan Qianzhen said:

"There is an edict from the emperor, come and receive the order!"

Gao Yanzong realized that Lan Qianzhen was not joking with him, he hurried forward to Lan Qianzhen, lifted his shirt and knelt down to receive the order, Lan Qianzhen took off the backpack he was carrying, escaped and held the arrow in his hand and said:

"The emperor gave you an arrow, and you should be blamed for the thief, and you should do your best to make no mistakes!"

Gao Yanzong held an arrow to thank the emperor, and he asked:

"Since it is the emperor's decree, why did the acting duke announce the decree to me? Shouldn't it be the internal officials who come to announce it? It's not in order. ”

Lan Qianjin colored:

"You smashed the cup and walked out of the palace by yourself and said that I was unruly, do you want Father-in-law Yu to run out of the palace and chase after you to announce the decree?"

Gao Yanzong was scolded by Lan Qianzhen and didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to obediently get up and stand aside timidly. Lan Qianzhen looked at the pitiful appetizers he had ordered on the table, and he asked:

"Why do you eat this?"

Gao Yanzong said:

"Save money and pay the soldiers."

Lan Qianzhen looked at Gao Yanzong when he heard this, and after a closer look, he found that the flesh on Gao Yanzong's face was loose, as if he was wearing an ill-fitting skin, but the flesh in the skin was not filled. Lan Qianzhen sighed, and his tone softened a lot, only to hear Lan Qianzhen ask:

"I heard that you have a wide body, but I didn't think you were fat when we met today."

Gao Yanzong said:

"It's better to lose weight."

Lan Qianzhen sighed, he raised his hand and patted Gao Yanzong's shoulder and said:

"You! I also fought hard from the front line, and the favorite thing in the army is a straight intestine like you. You are a scholar, I understand that you are not willing to cling to the powerful, but when you go to the front line, you must get along well with your colleagues, and you must no longer be indiscriminate

Son, you have to remember that one thought is dozens of lives. “

Gao Yanzong nodded, and said with his hand beside him:

"Xiaguan remembers."

Lan Qianzhen looked at Gao Yanzong again, and finally didn't say anything else, he just pointed to the table and said:

"Let's eat, I should go too."

After saying that, Lan Qianzhen led people to turn around, and Gao Yanzong said goodbye inside, and when he went out, Lan Ziyi nodded to Gao Yanzong, and Gao Yanzong responded to Lan Ziyi, and the two sides dispersed without a word.

After Lan Qianzhen went out, he was in a hurry to get on the horse, and he said to Zhang Yanwu:

"Gongzi Zhang, you don't need to send it far, you are about to go out of the city on an expedition, it is better to go home early and prepare for your travel."

Zhang Yanwu had already followed Lan Qianzhen on his horse at this time, and he said with a smile:

"I have my own domestic servant to take care of my outfit, so I don't have to worry about it. Today, I am difficult to see each other with the acting father, and the acting father is in my knowledge of the grace I can not repay, this is only a dozen miles outside the city, I send the acting father is just a journey, the heart of the fist and the heart of the representative do not shirk. ”

Lan Qianzhen laughed "ha" when he heard this, and he said:

"Zhang Gongzi said so sincerely, how could I refuse?"

Then Lan Qianzhen took the lead in urging the horse, and as he walked, he said:

"It's been delayed for so long today, and I won't be able to get to Jingkou before dark."

Lan Ziyi said on the side:

"Why didn't my father just go to the water gate and cross the river from Jinghu by boat?"

Lan Qianzhen said:

"It's already been arranged to go from Jingkou, and it's not good to change the way."

Lan Ziyi guessed that his father might have other arrangements to go around to Jingkou, so he didn't give much advice, and his father asked:

"What do you think of Gao Yanzong?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Loyal to the country, without distractions, he is a man."

Lan Qianzhen was a little impatient listening to Lan Ziyi's words, and he said:

"Of course I know he's a man, I'm asking you if he believes it."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"If my father asks Gao Yanzong if he believes in my Lan family, he will definitely not believe it, but if he says that Gao Yanzong believes in the country or not, then there are few people who are more loyal than him today."

Lan Qianzhen frowned in disgust, and he said:

"If he's a loyal minister, I'm not a loyal minister? Isn't that nonsense? ”

Lan Ziyi looked at his father and laughed slyly, Lan Qianzhen was directly angry when he saw this, and he asked:

"What do you mean by laughing at me for no reason?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"How dare I laugh at my father? I just wondered if my father was angry. ”

Lan Qianzhen was a little sober by Lan Ziyi's words, and he asked:

"What do you mean......"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Gao Yanzong smashed the cup in the palace, and it was not only Father-in-law Yu and Zhang Mingyue who fell, but also you, father; Just now in the restaurant, Gao Yanzong saw that you didn't give a salute and said goodbye, where did you put your face? ”

Lan Qianzhen nodded and replied:

"Ziyi, do you mean that your father has fire in Gao Yanzong's heart and is angry with you?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"People are not saints and sages, it is not a problem for my father to be angry with me, the problem is that my father was blinded by ignorant karmic fire, and he did not see clearly that he was in a high position, and he had subtly looked down on others, father, you think, is the difference between you and Gao Yanzong a difference between people, or a difference between official positions?"

Lan Qianzhen nodded and said:

"Makes sense."

Lan Ziyi urged forward at this time, and said in his father's ear:

"Dad, that Gao Yanzong is a straight man, I know best, the things he decided can't be pulled back by nine cows, we don't need him to be loyal to anyone's family, and he can't pull down his face to be loyal to a certain family, we just need to let his road go to the same road with us, so that people can still get real empty without falling into the handle, why not?"

Lan Qianzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said:

"Wonderful! My son's plan is really infiltrating and silent. ”

Speaking of this, Lan Qianzhen subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Yanwu, and Zhang Yanwu smiled and nodded to Lan Qianzhen. Lan Qianzhen turned around as a normal time, but something went wrong, only to hear Lan Ziyi shouting:

"Father Lerma!"

Lan Qianzhen's hand moved in response, but he didn't react to what was happening in his mind, and the others still maintained the posture of trotting on the horse, and Lan Qianzhen was almost thrown off the horse under the sudden brake, but fortunately, Tao Zhuhu quickly pulled him behind him. After a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Tao Zhuhu directly taught Lan Ziyi a lesson:

"Young Master, you're too careless! The general is still looking at the back, what are you shouting to Le Ma? Almost threw the general down. ”

Lan Ziyi also knew that he was in trouble, so he bowed his head and responded to the reprimand of Tao Zhuhu, and at the same time apologized:

"It's my fault, it's my fault."

"It's not Wei Hou's fault, it's my fault, if I don't get in the way, Wei Hou doesn't need to alarm the acting father."

Everyone looked for prestige, but saw that it was Cao Jinbao who was standing in the middle of the road with a small servant, and the two of them were only a dozen steps away from Lan Qianzhen, no wonder Lan Ziyi suddenly shouted to stop just now.

Lan Qianzhen raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and when he saw Cao Jinbao in front of him, he immediately dismounted and went over, the two faced each other, bowed their hands, and after being polite, Lan Qianzhen said:

"I know that Boss Cao is bold, but no matter how bold he is, he can't play with his life, if I hadn't stopped my son just now, Boss Cao would have been killed or injured as soon as the horse's hooves passed."

Cao Jinbao smiled:

"How? Daigong is so good at kung fu immediately, how can he step on me? ”

Lan Qianzhen smiled when he heard this, and after laughing, Lan Qianzhen asked:

"Boss Cao is standing in the middle of the street at this time, presumably to see me off, right? We had already eaten the day before yesterday, and today I was in a hurry to get out of the city, so forget about the banquet, and I won't be able to leave today after another meal. ”

Cao Jinbao said:

"I know that the acting prince is in a hurry, so I specially set up a tent for the acting prince outside the city, and General Huyan has been invited by me, so I will wait for the acting father."
