Lou Ji kept his distance from his father as much as possible, but he was still dragged over, and he didn't even see his father get up.

"You kid......" Lou Wen repeated it several times, both angry and helpless, "I knew that you were hiding something from me, and sure enough, like your mother, you were born against you, so you can't ...... Can't you be honest? ”

Father's palm was not too strong, and Lou was more courageous, "Your Majesty has long wanted to get rid of the Lou family, even if I have nothing to do with the assassination, Your Majesty will design a assassination and plant it on my father's head." ”

"There's no need to plant it now." Lou Wen pushed his son away, feeling extremely tired, "Thanks to you, the Lou family has been convicted of assassination." ”

"How long will my father back down?"

"This is not called backing down, this is called wait-and-see. In any case, I am a loyal minister of Tiancheng, and I will not be the first to raise the anti-flag. Lou Wen sighed heavily, "Probably I'm too old and want to ...... I think that at the beginning, I was the first among the ministers to encourage the first emperor to oppose Liang. At that time, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty was even worse than today, and the ministers went to court every day with fear, and the surrounding countries were more and more ferocious than the other, just waiting...... Why am I telling you this? ”

Lou Wen stood up and pressed his hand on his son's shoulder, his palm was thicker and heavier than Lou Hard, "I won't kill you, not because I appreciate you, not because of your dead ghost, but because I want to leave you to the emperor." ”

"Father's ......"

"Shut up, I'm not done yet. You are the touchstone of our Lou family, if the emperor doesn't kill you, it means that he can still endure the Lou family, then I might as well continue to endure it, if I kill you, I will be vigilant and make a decision depending on the situation. Even if you say flowers, the Lou family will not be the first to rebel, because I don't see any benefit in this. Rebellion is easier said than done, you have already done it once, and you don't want to suffer this kind of suffering again. I only know one thing, as long as I have an army under my command, even if there are only a few thousand soldiers, no one in the world dares to take my Lou Wen seriously. ”

Lou Wen had already made up his mind, and he had already thought about everything before his son spoke, "No matter who becomes the emperor, I am still a general, and the Lou family will not fall." As for you—" Lou Wen removed his palm and stepped back into his chair, "I don't think you are a descendant of the Lou family, you can go and ask for more blessings." ”

"The Lou family doesn't recognize me, but I can't deny the Lou family. Father, please listen to me a few words at the end: The emperor has been planning for many years, once the arrow is fired, there is no intention of turning back, and he will not give up because of a temporary setback, and there will inevitably be a follow-up. ”

"The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, you still have some ability, as long as you hold the army, you are not afraid of the little emperor's intrigues."

The Son of Heaven is in his thirties, and he is still a little emperor in the eyes of the general.

Lou Ji knelt down and kowtowed, got up and said goodbye, and said no more.

On the eve of the expedition, the general's sleeping tent was heavily guarded, even if the Sanzilou was hard, he could not enter casually, and the entire military camp entered a state of combat readiness, and the law enforcement captain led people to search the tents one by one, and removed all the hidden redundant retinues, women, and items for pleasure, so as to tell all the soldiers that this was an army that was going to war.

The descendants of the Lou family said that they wanted to be ordinary soldiers, but in fact, they were all incorporated into the pro-army team and guarded the generals full-time, only Lou Hard and Lou Ji were not among them.

Lou is a son-in-law, as a general of the Chinese army, he doesn't have to follow the army, and Lou Ji is actually exempted, which makes many people dissatisfied.

Lou Ji spent the night alone in a small tent, and he was so tired from the exertion of several days that he fell asleep, thinking of nothing, until the gong sounded outside.

20,000 soldiers set off in order, the foundation of the building from the soldier to the send-off, before dawn, it was "kicked out" of the barracks with the third brother building, and went to the side of the road to meet with other send-offs.

The scene was huge, the first group of 20,000 people set out, and the number of people who saw them off was nearly twice that number, and most of them could not see their relatives at all, and could only look at the dust from afar, imagining that their families were among them.

The generals were treated better, they could take turns to say goodbye to their relatives, they could not dismount, they could not enter the crowd, and they could just bow or wave their hands from afar.

The young prince personally supervised the army, and a large number of noble children naturally had to follow, with bright armor on his body, stepping off his mount and being handsome, every appearance could always provoke countless applause.

What was originally a sad send-off soon turned into a battle of wonders, and the children of each family extended the farewell time as much as possible, often riding horses and running back, and raising clouds of dust.

The general personally led the elite soldiers and strong generals to quell the chaos, and there was no doubt that he would win, and the only question was whether the credit was enough.

The words "meritorious service" and "feudal marquis" are frequently shouted out of the mouths of the send-offers, as if they are ripe crops in the ground, and whoever cuts them belongs to whomever they are.

Lou family send-off people are very numerous, many are female dependents, the building base quickly retreated to the back, occasionally looked at the capital, thought that there would be a court envoy suddenly galloped to prevent the general from going on the expedition, but no, as far as the line of sight can see, all the women of the Eastern Capital, than the fifteenth day of the first month when the scene of watching the lanterns is more lively three points.

Zhou Lu rode over, waved his hand from afar and smiled: "I knew you must be here." ”

Lou Ji arched his hand, "Who is Brother Zhou here to send?" ”

"My father and my brother are both in the army, in fact, they have been sent yesterday, and today they are just here to show their faces." Zhou Lu took a turn around the horse, "How about looking at my armor?" It took three years for the best craftsmen in Hedong to build, and it was delivered a month ago. ”

Zhou Lu was wearing a fish-scale armor and a silver-white helmet, which was quite heroic, and it was almost impossible to see the popularity of the literati.

"You're going to go west too?"

"I won't go this year, and my father said that he would give me military merit so that I could get a higher position. I don't rely entirely on my father and brother, and I will join the army in the Northern Expedition next year after tomorrow to expel He Rong's troops and make greater military achievements. Zhou Lu had already arranged the future for himself, and turned around triumphantly, "Stain some enemy blood, and this armor will be perfect." ”

"Brother Zhou will be a tiger, and he will succeed in the future." The foundation of the building is perfunctory.

The two were talking on the grass behind the crowd, Zhou Lu jumped off the horse, underestimated the weight of the armor, almost knelt down when he landed, stood up and smiled: "I'm not used to it yet." What kind of 'tiger' am I, every military merit has to be fought for in life and death, which is like your Lou family's children and grandchildren, wealth is at your fingertips, Lou Gongzi just married a county lord on the front foot, and immediately another county lord married into the Lou family, tsk, it's really enviable. ”

"Really?" Lou Ji looked around, trying to end this boring conversation as soon as possible.

"You haven't heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Marriage, one of the daughters of the king of Xiangdong is going to marry one of your younger brothers, what is the name forgot, the ranking is twenty-three."

"The daughter of the king of Xiangdong?"

"Yes, it is a county lord, it is said that he is the most popular with the Queen Mother and His Majesty, so he personally pointed out the marriage, and among the many noble children, he picked the twenty-third floor, and the news just came out yesterday."

"Well, the Queen Mother...... I am very concerned about the marriage of the Lou family. ”

"Yes, everyone says, 'The building is thousands of feet high, and it is a thousand feet into the ground', among the ministers, your Lou family has the deepest and most stable foundation, I didn't make Lou Gongzi's friend in vain, don't forget me in the future, haha."

Thinking of how Zhou Lu would react after his assassination was made public, Lou Ji couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Lu misunderstood his laughter, and said many kind words, until the servant came to look for him, and then got on his horse and left.

The daughter of the king of Xiangdong is going to marry one of his younger brothers? Lou Ji immediately thought of the county lord of Huanyan, and at first he thought that it might not be her, but he soon understood that it must be her, the emperor did this deliberately, not only to appease the general's heart, but also to take revenge on Lou Ji, who dared to betray.

It seems that the emperor did not ask anything from the lord of Huanyan, and although he had found out the truth, Huanyan's silence and prevarication were likely to be regarded as serious disloyalty.

The emperor holds a grudge and will not forgive any small mistakes, and will not let Huan Yan go, let alone let the Lou family go like this, but why did he really let the general lead the army away? The farther away from the Eastern Capital, the less the general was under the control of the imperial court, and the emperor could not have understood this very well.

Unable to figure it out, Lou Ji found his horse and rode on it and walked slowly on the grass, deaf to the bursts of cheers.

"Brother Basic!" Someone shouted.

Lou Ji immediately patted his horse to meet him, this is one of the people he wants to see the most, to please Hou Mawei.

"I thought you'd go with the army." Ma Wei laughed.

Lou Ji shook his head and rode out of the distance, Ma Wei following behind.

"The emperor knew about it and said it." Floor Road.

Although he had already guessed the truth, Ma Wei was still stunned for a while, "But you can still leave the palace, and no one will come to arrest me......"

"Because the emperor didn't take you and me seriously, he had to wait for the big fish to be caught, and then clean up the small fish."

Ma Wei was silent for a while, "What about Guo Shifeng?" ”

"He was accepted as a staff member by the general and went west together."

"Hey, Brother Guo...... There is always a turn for safety. ”

"Maybe Qinzhou is a more dangerous place."

The two looked at the cheerful crowd together, and after a long time, Ma Wei sighed: "Half of the romantic characters in the Eastern Capital are here, even if they are He Rong in the future expedition to the north, I am afraid that it will not be so lively." ”

There is no doubt that the Western Expedition will win, and even if the Northern Expedition wins, it will have to pay a lot of price.

Lou Ji also sighed, "I am fortunate to see this prosperous scene, although I have no regrets in death." ”

"I'm leaving the Eastern Capital." Ma Weidao, he had this intention for a long time, and he never implemented it, "Immediately, leave tonight." ”

Lou Ji was already tired of persuasion, "Brother Ma, be careful, the emperor will not let us little fish go, but he hasn't freed his hands yet, this is his world, even if he escapes from the Eastern Capital, he can't escape the pursuit." ”

"I won't sit still, I will go to Bingzhou, which is the hometown of the Liang Dynasty, and maybe there are still people who remember the Ma family, and the Shen family can also provide me with shelter if they resist the holy decree."

"Forgive me for not being able to send it far."

"Come with me, there is nothing to be nostalgic about in the Eastern Capital, while the emperor's mind is not on you and me, the sooner you go, the better." The prosperity in front of us is all illusory, and the number of natural qi is about to be exhausted, we just started early, the world will be in chaos sooner or later, and we still have a chance to succeed. ”

"I'm going to stay and make one last attempt."

"Try what?" Ma Wei asked in surprise.

Even Lou Ji himself didn't know what to try, he just didn't want to run away like this, "No matter what, you have to try again." ”

Dagger and mouth, there are these two things, and the building base feels that it is enough.
