(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Lou Ji's face was flushed, but he refused to speak.

Lou Wen's hands slowly exerted, his eyes were ruthless, at this moment, he was not a general, nor a father, just a soldier on the battlefield who fought hard, and the blood when he personally charged into battle many years ago surged all over his body, at that time he didn't have so much fat on his body, and he could tear the enemy in half with his bare hands......

Suddenly, Lou Wen saw that familiar face on his son's face, which flashed, but it made his heart beat wildly, let go of his hands, and pushed his son away violently, like avoiding a snake and scorpion.

The princess of Wu was once the glory of the great general, the most eye-catching trophy of his conquest in all directions, but after her death, it became a nightmare for him.

Lou Ji rubbed his neck, coughed twice, and was finally able to speak normally, and asked, "Liu You is gone?" ”

"Hmm." Lou Wen was still in a daze, his eyes avoided his son's face, and he used a rough air to hide the horror in his heart, "Don't say you don't know." ”

"The child really doesn't know."

"Liu Youzhong has ever been to your house?"

"Yes, just two days ago, after he met my father, he visited my house, and we talked for a while."

"Small talk...... What to talk about? ”

"He said he was a little puzzled why the emperor suddenly cared more about me and even promoted me to his side."

"How did you answer?"

"I said I don't know, maybe it's because of the eldest princess's recommendation, or maybe it's that article......"

"Don't mention your bullshit article, it's useless." Lou Wen yelled, and then moved his gaze to his son, becoming ruthless again, he was not even afraid of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, let alone a dead soul.

"Yes, the child is really puzzled."

Lou Wen's panting became thicker and thicker, but he didn't do it again, "The day after I met you, Liu You went out of the city to meet friends on the last vacation, and he never went home, and the so-called friends didn't see him, so the whole person disappeared like this, leaving nothing." ”

Lou Ji was as surprised as his father, "Liu Youzhong...... Does Mr. Liu have no family in Beijing? ”

"Yes, one wife, two concubines, three sons and one daughter, and he didn't bring any of them. People like him don't care about their wives at all, and they can remarry and have children wherever they go. ”

"He has a rival in the capital?"

"The problem is here, Liu Youzhong only has friends in the capital, no opponents, he has been relatively close to our Lou family over the years, not boasting, I am his backer, the whole Luoyang knows this, so if Liu Youzhong is afraid, he will only be afraid of one thing, that is, the Lou family will fall."

Lou Wen stood up, he is the Lou family, if he falls, the Lou family will fall, he stands, and the Lou family is as stable as Mount Tai.

"Liu You's final appearance is the most accurate, he can see things that others can't see, he doesn't say goodbye after seeing you, there must be a reason, if the Lou family has a big trouble, it must be on you."

Lou Ji calmed down, bowed first, and then straightened up and said: "In the child's humble opinion, Mr. Liu is not concerned about 'why the child is cared about by His Majesty', but 'why His Majesty suddenly cares about a son of the general'." ”

"Don't go around in circles."

"Mr. Liu must have seen that the imperial court wanted to be unfavorable to the Lou family."

"That's all?"

"The child can't think of any other reason." Lou Ji paused for a moment and continued: "My father said 'not the time' before, but the child thinks that the 'time' is probably not in our hands, and I am the fish and meat for the sword, if you want to ......"

"Don't talk about it." Lou Wen once again stopped his son from speaking, and his tone was no longer so tough.

The building base bowed and took a few steps back.

Lou Wen stood in place and thought for a long time, and looked up at his son several times, not knowing how much to believe him, "Tomorrow...... Tomorrow you go out. ”

"Yes, where to go?"

"Go to the big foot post outside the city, greet the king of Jibei on my behalf, and Qiao Zhisu will go with you."

"King Jibei?" The building was very unexpected.

Lou Wen hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell his son something, "The king of Jibei has been edicted to return to Beijing long before the assassination, and he is about to arrive at the big foot station, you go to greet him, let him see what you look like, maybe he can set a family affair." ”

"Father's ......"

"Don't say you have no intention of getting married." Lou Wen became stern again, "Madame and the princess have worked hard to get the queen mother to agree to protect the media, but they have to seek the opinion of the king of Jibei to see which of his daughters is suitable." ”

Lou Ji suddenly thought of the county lord of Huanyan, but she was the daughter of the king of Xiangdong and had nothing to do with the king of Jibei.

"Yes, family affairs are naturally decided by the father and mother, and the child is just wondering, what is the benefit of marrying the King of Jibei to the Lou family?"

"That's why I said that you are too young and don't understand anything, so you dare to talk nonsense and trespass, you have the courage, but you don't have enough vision. The king of Jibei was born to the queen mother, and his majesty was the most favored, and marrying the daughter of his family was considered to be close to each other, making the status of the Lou family more stable. ”

"Isn't there a problem with the generation?"

King Jibei was born to the Queen Mother, according to Mrs. Lan's side, she is the same generation as Lou Ji, and her daughter is naturally one generation lower, and she is not too old.

Lou Wen said angrily: "Don't make excuses, you don't have to worry about these things." ”

"Yes, father, tomorrow Qiao Zhisu and I will go to meet the king of the north."

Lou Wen whispered: "I want to see how much Your Majesty 'values' you." Let's go down. ”

In the bedroom, the two staff members prepared a few kinds of wine and food, and when they saw Lou Ji coming in, Qiao Zhisu smiled and said, "I didn't eat enough just now, so Lou Gongzi ate some together?" ”

The staff will be a person, and the wine and food on the table are not moved, in fact, they are prepared for the foundation of the building.

Lou Ji thanked him, and after sitting down, he poured wine for the staff.

The red mark on the wrist of the building foundation has not disappeared, and the neck is even more eye-catching, he is not shy about it, eating a few bites of food at the bottom, and asking: "Is the general's temper always like this?" ”

The staff laughed, and Qiao Zhisu said: "The seventeenth prince is lucky, the general's temper is ...... When you are angry, you love to do it, and when you are happy, you can do the same, and you may be more ruthless. ”

Another humanitarian: "The great general is descended from the gods, the first fierce general in the United States, invincible on the battlefield, and he usually doesn't know how to start, but he is very protective of his children and grandchildren." Over the years, our brothers have seen the general scold and beat people, but we have never seen him really kill people, and the general really cares about every child and grandchild. ”

Lou Ji said with a smile: "The father is strict and filial piety, and the general's strictness is for the sake of his children and grandchildren." ”

"The seventeenth prince is so right, to be honest, rich and noble families are easy to be fools, but the Lou family has more than 100 children and grandchildren, and there have never been unscrupulous children, which is really rare, and it is all the work of the general's serious family style."

Of course, the staff wanted to praise the general, and the building was pandering, and the three of them talked lively, and they didn't say a word of truth.

When he was about to rest, Lou Ji asked Qiao Zhisu: "When you go out of the city tomorrow, do you need to take leave from the palace?" ”

"I've already arranged it, Seventeen Sons don't have to worry."

Qiao Zhisu arranged not only to take leave, but the next morning, Lou Ji and Qiao Zhisu went back to the General's Mansion first, changed into new clothes, brought valuable gifts, and rode out of the city in a carriage.

There is no lord and no official on the foundation of the building, and it stands to reason that he is not qualified to use the honor guard in the palace, but as long as the general allows it, no one will really meddle in things.

Bigfoot Station is exactly half a day away from Luoyang, formerly known as Shenzuyi, known as Bigfoot by the people, and slowly, the government also accepted this name.

The officials who entered Beijing rested at the big foot post and entered Beijing the next day, just full of energy and did not delay visiting relatives and friends.

With the name of the general, and with the assistance of Qiao Zhisu, Lou Ji lived in the best room in the post station, and he no longer had to squeeze in the same kang with other people.

A few days ago, the family sent to inquire about the itinerary of the king of Jibei returned to the post station in the evening and brought news that the king of Jibei would be able to arrive at the post station in the afternoon five days later.

Of course, you can't wait in the post station to greet distinguished guests, there is a pavilion ten miles away from here, and Qiao Zhisu took people to build a colorful shed and prepare wine and food.

Lou Ji wondered why he had to prepare so many days in advance, and he understood that evening.

Among the kings, the king of Jibei is the closest to the emperor, deeply favored by the queen mother, every time he enters Kyoto, he has to make a big fanfare, and the dignitaries and dignitaries have to go out of the city to greet him, or come in person, or appoint his children and grandchildren, because there are too many people, in order to avoid scrambling, so he made an appointment to stay in the big foot station, and put wine in the Shili Pavilion, and no one is allowed to go one more step.

The location of the color shed is also particular, although the general is in power, he cannot occupy the first place, so Qiao Zhisu must prepare in advance, so as not to be robbed of territory by the front and rear people.

In the next two days, more and more people came, and the post station could not be arranged, and those with lower status could only set up tents outside.

At noon on the fourth day, the former envoy of the king of Jibei came to the post station, thanked all the greeters, accepted the name sticker, and then announced the king's order: except for the clan and the Lou and Lan families, everyone else is invited back.

The so-called greeting, just means, since the king's order, more than half of the greeters have left, the post station has become empty again, and there is a place to place the official messengers who come and go, and Qiao Zhisu's advance preparations are also redundant.

The person who came to greet the Lan family was Lan Yong, the eldest son of General Pingxi, who heard that the Lou family only sent his concubine out of the city, he was very surprised, refused to come to meet, and only sent a servant to send a name sticker.

On the evening of the fourth day, the prince of Jibei who stayed in Luoyang came late, accompanied by more than a dozen cars, and many children of the clan came with him.

The inn became lively again.

Lou Ji had to go to meet the prince of Xiangdong, and found that the two had met in the Guangling Palace, so they exchanged names and knew each other again.

The son's name is Zhang Shiyu, younger than Zhang Shiduan, only fourteen years old, behaving and talking like a child, but he is very easy-going, he likes Lou Ji very much, he left him to chat, and soon talked about family affairs, and said with a smile: "I don't know if I will call you 'brother-in-law' or 'brother-in-law' in the future?" ”

"The jury is still out."

"Why, you don't want to marry my family?"

"Gao Pan Wang's family, how can you not want to?"

"It's not a high climb, and you don't have to worry, the confinement of the body, Your Majesty can lift it with a word."

Zhang Shiyu obviously didn't understand the true meaning of confinement, and Lou Ji didn't explain, he sat for a while and wanted to leave, but Zhang Shiyu refused to let him go, "Drink a bar, from tomorrow, I will be locked in a cage." ”

Without waiting for the building to refuse, Zhang Shiyu had ordered someone to set up the wine, and sent someone to invite Lan Yong, who claimed that the master had fallen asleep and did not dare to wake up, Zhang Shiyu didn't care, "I knew he wouldn't come, your two families are obviously close relatives, but they rarely come and go, I heard that the sons of the Lan family are named with 'gold' edge, in order to specialize in the stones of your Lou's family, haha, interesting." ”

Lou Ji replied: "Don't be afraid, the Lan family has less gold, and the Lou family has more stones, so you can bear it." ”

Although Zhang Shiyu is young, he drinks well, and he is not drunk after drinking more than a dozen glasses.

Someone outside suddenly laughed and said, "My brother didn't even call us when he drank, so he will have to complain to my father tomorrow." ”

"Lou Gongzi is here, do you dare to come?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Several women rushed in, not all of them were the daughters of the king of Jibei, but also the daughter of the king of Xiangdong, the lord of Huanyan.
