Lou Ji went home, found the hidden dagger, and took the old servant to the new house.

The new house is a cross-courtyard of the General's Mansion, another door is opened, all the things used are provided by the house, although the place is not large, but it is extremely luxurious, comparable to the inner house, the cloth is piled up, the jewelry is full of boxes, the pillars are all wrapped in brocade, the green bricks in the courtyard have just been paved again, and they must be sprinkled with water three times a day, in order to keep it brand new and give a good impression to the bride who will enter the house.

The old servant stood at the door and did not dare to go in, and said in surprise: "This brick will cost a few dollars, right?" ”

Even the foundation of the building was embarrassed to step on the ground, and walked around the corridor, pretending to check the room, hiding the dagger in the jewelry box, and if someone found it, he would think it was something from the house.

There are a lot of things to do in the building, and he has to leave immediately, and the old servant stays in the new house to look after the house, and only has time to say a few words to the master: "There are many people who come to visit the prince these days, especially the third son of the Dongyang Hou family, who has come several times. ”

"Zhou Lu is here again?" Lou Jizhi frowned, he remembered that Zhou Lu had said that he would not come to ask for help in the future.

"There were many gifts, but I didn't dare to accept them."

"Well, don't take it. Who else has been? ”

"And then there's my own relatives, and ...... And Ma Hou Ye also sent someone to come twice to inquire if the son had returned. "The old servant was reluctant to mention Mavi.

"Hmm." Lou Ji hesitated to see Ma Wei, he had not made actual progress yet, and even the dagger capital could not be brought into the imperial city.

"By the way, Bingzhou sent a letter, specially explained, let me hand it over to the son. Look at my memory, I almost forgot it. ”

The old servant groped in his arms for a long time, and took out a letter, the corners were a little worn, and the seal was still intact.

"When was it delivered?"

"Three days ago."

Lou Ji opened the letter, read it hastily, the content is very simple, first to report safety, and then talk about the chess game, wrote, "Ziluo Sanliu, no regrets, I will guard a corner and press the soldiers, waiting for the seventeenth son's tricks." ”

The general claimed that Shen Zhi, who was guarding the state and guarding the state, would definitely come to Luoyang, but Shen Tan hinted that he would stay in the north, and he didn't know who was right and who was wrong.

At the end of the letter, another line was added, which was obviously written in a hurry, and the handwriting was different from Shen Tan: Zhongnan cloth is attached to the tail of Ji, and I sincerely ask the seventeenth prince how well.

Lou Ji put away the letter and said to the old servant: "Zhou Lu doesn't have to pay attention to him when he comes again, let alone accept his things, if Marquis Ma sends someone, you tell him that I am on standby in Zishiyuan, and I can't leave easily, and I will have the opportunity to visit the house again in the future." ”

"Got it, Childe." Since entering the new house, the old servant has been much more humble and does not dare to say more.

Lou Ji went out to get on the horse, and he had to rush to the military camp outside the city to meet his father.

The 100,000 troops transferred from all over the country have been assembled outside Luoyang City, divided into five military camps, stretching for dozens of miles from east to west, not far from each other, each with a main general.

The general sits in the Chinese army, occupies the widest area, is also the closest to Luoyang City, on both sides of the avenue outside the camp, there are all temporary simple houses and tents, people come and go, more lively than the city.

Behind the 100,000 troops, at least 30,000 merchants and servants followed, and more powerful or powerful soldiers were able to hide their followers in the camp.

Lou Wen returned to the barracks, the affairs were extremely complicated, so he could only take the time to see his son, explain some things, and ordered the other sons to go back to the city to help Lou Ji prepare for the marriage, and finally left the seventeenth son alone to talk.

"Your Majesty is willing to forgive you, that is to value the face of the Lou family, and it is also your luck. Don't think that this is the end of the matter, you have to redouble your efforts to serve Your Majesty, and you are not allowed to make random friends with outsiders, especially people from the Five Kingdoms, who are far away from them, understand? ”

"The child understood. There is one thing that a father should know. "Lou Ji discussed with Qiao Zhisu, and some words can only be said by him, who is a son, after the general was tempted, Qiao Zhisu pushed the boat down the river.

"What's the matter?"

"Shen Bingzhou probably won't go back to Luoyang."

"Huh? I got the news that Lao Shen was already on his way and would be able to reach the capital in three or four days. Where did you get the news from? ”

"The fifth son of the Shen family wrote me a letter." The building base handed over the letter.

Lou Wen read it and first noticed the sentence at the end, "Is Zhongnan Buyi Liu Youzhong?" He went and stated? ”

"Presumably so, does my father think it's Mr. Liu's handwriting?"

Lou Wen looked at it for a while, nodded, and asked again, "What does the chess game mean?" ”

"The code words I made with Shen Wugongzi, he said, 'Hold on to one corner and hold the troops still', that is, to persuade Shen Mushou to succeed, stay in Bingzhou, and will not return to Beijing."

Lou Wen read the letter again, returned it to his son, and said, "Burn it." ”

A candle was lit at the base of the building, and the letter was burned to ashes in front of his father.

"There are more than 100 children and grandchildren of the Lou family, and the surprises that others have given me together are not as many as yours alone. Lou Ji, what kind of trick are you playing? ”

Lou Ji arched his hand and said: "The child is just making friends and more news channels, and has no other meaning." ”

Lou Wen didn't get angry this time, and muttered for a long time, "I'm not very familiar with the fifth child of the Shen family, what kind of person is he?" ”

"The child has only a few sides with him, thinking that Shen Wugongzi has an extraordinary bearing and a good heart, he once took charge of the retinue of Zhumamen on behalf of the emperor, and His Majesty also values him more."

Lou Wen hummed meaninglessly, not caring about his son's judgment, and more concerned about Liu Youzhong's whereabouts, "Liu Xiangshi claims to be attached to Jiwei, is this 'Ji' Lao Shen or Xiao Shen?" ”

"Mr. Liu postscripted to Shen Wugongzi's letter, presumably the attached Ji is 'Xiao Shen'."

Lou Wen sneered, "Now is the time for young people to come out and jump?" One by one, they haven't even grown their beards, but they talk about 'the world', as if they are capable. The world is fought by us, it is not enough for you to sit back and enjoy it, do you want to toss it again? ”

The more Lou Wen spoke, the more angry he became, he stood up and strode over, Lou Ji was startled, thinking that he was going to be beaten again, but Lou Wen walked past him and went straight out of the tent.

The foundation of the building was unknown, so I had to wait in the tent, thinking about it repeatedly, thinking that I might be able to convince my father.

Lou Wen came back, sat on the chair and gasped, and said after a while: "I sent someone to meet Lao Shen, I must see me." If Old Shen comes, Xiao Shen is lying, his heart can be punished, you are also blind, and you are led by the nose. If Lao Shen doesn't come......"

Lou Wen didn't go down for a long time, and Lou Ji said: "That's what the Shen family has noticed." ”

"Lao Shen won't discuss...... with me"

"My father once said that today we are friends, tomorrow we may be enemies......"

"Don't lecture me with my words." Lou Wen was dressed in military uniform, and his eyes were more majestic than usual, "When you have a son yourself, take it to teach him a lesson." ”

Shut up.

Lou Wen said to himself: "As long as you enter Qinzhou, everything will be fine, if Lao Shen is seeking his own death, he will go." ”

Lou Zhu almost opened his mouth, but held back at the last moment.

"You go back, keep your mouth shut, don't do anything, wait for my instructions, this is not a joke, you are too young, and you will be qualified to talk nonsense after a few more years of training."

"Yes, father."

The building didn't move, and Lou Wen asked, "Are you still in trouble?" ”

"The child heard that Xiao Guogong was appointed by the imperial court to take charge of military rations."

"Hmm." Lou Wen's face was slightly gloomy, he thought that after he returned to the army, Xiao Guogong Cao Shenxi would leave, but he didn't expect that there would be another appointment.

"Naturally, the grain should also be in charge of the river, and the child is talkative, please be careful with the father."

If the army of 100,000 is without food, it will collapse in less than three days, Lou Wen has been fighting for many years, and he knows this best, "I can't think of such a simple thing?" It doesn't matter, as long as I get to Qinzhou, I have my own way to get rid of Cao Shenxi. ”

The key to everything is whether he can lead the army to Qinzhou, Lou Wen is quite confident in this, Lou Ji sighed lightly in his heart, he still couldn't convince his father, so he retired and went back to Luoyang.

Lou Gang stayed in the imperial city as a general of the Chinese army, gave the deputy position to the King of Jibei, and was in charge of the guard, which made him very proud, and he was completely unguarded against the emperor, and began to drink before it was dark. ”

"If Your Majesty greets you, the third brother can't look like this."

"It's okay, Your Majesty will leave the palace tonight, let's be idle."

Lou Ji's heart moved, and he poured wine for the third brother on the table, "Your Majesty is not worried about Mrs. Liang blocking the way?" ”

"So there will be no fanfare about leaving the palace this time, just a few people, and no one outside will know about it at all."

Lou Ji's heart moved again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty left the palace, and the third brother was thrown here, don't you feel sorry?" ”

"It is naturally a great honor to be taken by His Majesty's side, but sometimes, it's better not to participate, you know ......" Lou Qiang smiled ambiguously and persuaded his younger brother to drink.

"What do I know?" I didn't understand.

"Although you are my own brother, there are some things that I can't say to you."

"Of course, royal affairs can't be used as talking points. Come, I'll give the third brother a drink. ”

Lou Ji didn't care, but Lou Jian couldn't help it, "But since my father values you, I shouldn't hide it from you, besides, you are so old, you are about to get married, you should know some personnel." ”

"Personnel?"

"Your Majesty has that outside."

"What?"

Lou's hard face was cold, "Do you really not understand, or do you not understand?" ”

"I need the advice of the third brother."

"Haha, you look like this, what can you do on the night of marriage?" Lou Jian looked at the door three times, stopped talking three times, and finally said: "Your Majesty still has a small harem outside." ”

"Little harem?" Lou Ji finally understood, "There are many beauties in the harem, and Your Majesty is still not satisfied?" ”

"I'm tired of eating too much meat, and Your Majesty occasionally wants to try a chic side dish."

Lou Ji remembered the foul language that the third brother had said to the emperor when he traveled with the emperor at night for the first time, and now he understands that those words are all meaningful.

"The third brother is so capable, he can even inquire about this kind of secret."

"Secret? Your Majesty has never hidden from us people, and the small harem is hidden among us. ”

"The Third Brother's Mansion ......"

"I don't have it in my house, who let me marry a princess? It's one of my outer houses, and Huangfu Jie, Shao Junqian, are not so lucky, and they want to give up their homes. ”

"Has the third brother seen Shao Junqian again?"

"I've seen it, everyone tacitly understands it, he doesn't say it, I don't say it, I often joke with Huangfu Rank, not with Shao Junqian."

"I mean, did Shao Junqian mention that incident again?"

"Oh, I didn't mention it, he tested the Lou family on behalf of His Majesty, I can't expose it in public and embarrass Your Majesty, right?"

Lou Qiang drank too much, and the things he said became more and more unbearable, and finally sighed: "Your Majesty has great energy, I am afraid that the gods will come to the world, but fortunately, there are many people who are close to him, and they are divided into several groups. ”

Listening to the third brother's nagging, Lou Ji felt that there was another ray of light in front of him.
