At this time, Lu Jin, who was the governor of a place, naturally returned to Ulzhou City a long time ago, and now his reputation in the city has long overshadowed everyone, including the Wang family.

As a civilian official, he personally took the risk to lead his troops to face the Mongol Tatars, and this alone is enough to make countless people admire. And Lu Zhen defeated the strong with the weak this time, and with a few thousand people killing tens of thousands of Tartars in defeat, it was even more shocking and admirable.

At this time, in the minds of the military and civilians of Ulzhou, Lu Zhizhou was a god-like existence, and he only had the heart to bow down to him, and he could not have the slightest sense of disrespect at all.

For such a result, the people of the Wang family are still a little happy, fortunately they have not had any insoluble contradictions with him, and they have always been quite cooperative, otherwise just by taking advantage of the aftermath of this big victory, it is not difficult for Lu Zhen to settle old accounts and attack their Wang family. Even if they have Wang Zhen's big backer, they are afraid that they will not be able to meet their thirst when they are far away.

However, Lu Zhen was not as arrogant as some people feared, and his arrogance swelled, and he was still just doing his part in the yamen. The only thing that is slightly different from the past is that there are still hundreds of Mongolian heads hanging on the head of Ulzhou City, which was the first time that Lu Zhen asked people to bring them back to Ulzhou to calm people's hearts after the first time they were designed to get rid of the enemy scout team.

It was precisely because of the people who brought back these heads that the hearts of some panicked people in the city were settled, and Chu Yunrong's second daughter finally settled down, believing that her husband could retreat in this battle.

But even so, after he returned victoriously, the two women still complained about him, and it was not until Lu Zhen solemnly assured them that he would not take such a risk to lead troops out in the future, which could be regarded as appeasing them.

Because it was still early before the beginning of spring, Lu Zhen actually didn't have any official business in the yamen at this time, so he would go around the second hall every day, and then review some official documents, and the day's business would be over. The rest is the frightened second daughter who was scared before she accompanied her in the backyard as compensation for some time ago.

This afternoon, the situation is also normal.

In the backyard of the state government, where the weather is just right and the wind is not strong, a melodious piano sound is ringing, like a stream flowing slowly. After a while, a whimpering sound also joined in, and the two sank and slowed, blending together, giving people a different kind of beauty.

Chu Yunrong watched Yun Yan and Lu Zhen harmonize with each other with Qin Xun, and he didn't feel a lot of feelings, and even regretted that he hadn't learned some musical instruments before, otherwise the three of them would have played together, what a wonderful thing it would be.

Finally, as the music ended, the two slowly exhaled and smiled at each other. Lu Zhen looked at Yun Yan and said: "I didn't expect that it has only been more than a year, and your piano skills have improved a lot compared to before, but the strange thing is that I haven't heard you play a few times before, is it because you can't get some immortal point?" ”

Yun Yan smiled happily, obviously satisfied with Ailang's affirmation of herself, and then said: "Maybe now I don't have the previous restraint when playing the piano, and I really let go of my arms." In the past, when I played the piano, I played it for others, and I couldn't really forget myself. And now it's different......"

"What you are saying is that any skill in this world, the real peak is the word selflessness. But that's where the hardest part lies. I can't believe that sister, you have reached such heights so quickly, which is much more clever than someone. Although Chu Yunrong can't play the piano, he can still explain the truth, and he also took the opportunity to bury Lu Zhen in his words.

Lu Zhen smiled awkwardly: "Yunrong, it's been a long time, why don't you just refuse to let me go?" I have promised you that I will not take such a risk in the future, so you can spare me. While speaking, he also admitted defeat and begged Chu Yunrong for mercy again and again.

In recent days, Chu Yunrong would use words to squeeze Lu Zhen a few words whenever he had the opportunity, obviously settling with him some time ago that he insisted on leading troops out to fight against the Mongolian people despite their obstruction. And whenever this time came, Lu Zhen could only keep apologizing as if he was soft, saying soft words, and coaxing the other party.

"Hmph, I don't necessarily believe your words. That's what you told us that day, saying you wouldn't go...... As a result, in a blink of an eye, I ran away with someone, and we couldn't even find you. Sister, do you think such a person should be punished? Chu Yunrong looked at Lu Zhen fiercely and complained again.

But Yun Yan just smiled beside her, and didn't help her to denounce together, and of course, she didn't help Lu Zhen speak. As the three of them got along for a long time, she had already clarified her position, she was just a concubine of Lu Jin, although neither Lu Jin nor Chu Yunrong had any intention of despising her, but she always grasped this point of proportion very well, and did not dare to exceed the rules.

The two who were joking immediately discovered Yun Yan's strange appearance, and neither of them sighed in their hearts. Although they had already reminded Yun Yan openly and secretly, asking her not to take her identity or background so seriously, the effect was not obvious.

In this way, the two people who were talking and laughing also lost interest a little, and when they didn't know what to do, a figure appeared at the door of the backyard, and they saluted Lu Zhen in the pavilion from a distance and said: "My lord, Datong sent someone to come, saying that there is something to order." ”

"Oh? He took the person to the signing room, and the official changed his clothes and went over. When Lu Zhen heard this, he hurriedly stood up, and after making another look at Chu Yunrong, he hurried away.

It wasn't until there were only two girls left in the pavilion that Chu Yunrong walked up to Yun Yan: "Sister, why can't you change this habit?" My husband and I never minded who you were, and now you are his wife, just like me...... Why do you have to see the outside world like this? ”

"Sister, I ......" Yun Yan showed gratitude, but quickly said, "I am different from you after all." You are Lu Lang, who is marrying him, but I am not. What's more, my original identity is really not on the table, and it is not something you can pass without mentioning it. Now Lu Lang is still a six-pin Zhizhou, it may not be nothing, but if he really occupies a high position in the court in the future, a woman from a Qinglou like me will not be mentioned. ”

"You're just too heavy-minded. You know that neither Lu Lang nor I mind this, but you still ask for trouble with this, and you don't know what to say about you. Looking at the other party's dead-eyed appearance, Chu Yunrong didn't know what to say, and he was a little helpless and a little distressed in his heart......

After Lu Zhen changed his clothes and transferred to the second hall, he put aside the previous children's affairs for the time being, and his expression became serious, thinking about Datong's intention to send someone here this time.

It stands to reason that it is still early for spring ploughing, and the appropriation promised by the government to repair the city defense has just begun, so it should not be in a hurry to come over to discuss, so what else will happen? Is it about the previous war, or is it related to the delivery of military rations for salt?

With this in mind, Lu Zhen had already arrived at the door of his public house, and was seeing a burly military attache sitting upright on one of the chairs like a javelin. From this point of view, it should have nothing to do with things like grain and salt, but someone sent by General Hu Bing.

Lu Jin, who understood this, hurriedly walked into the door and bowed to the man: "I don't know what this general is doing here?" But does General Hu have any orders? ”

The visitor looked Lu Jin up and down a few times, and there was obviously some surprise in his eyes. With such a young civil official, he was able to make a contribution that these generals for many years could not have imagined? But soon, he returned to normal again, and he smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Lu Zhizhou is really extraordinary, and he can see his intentions at a glance." Yes, the general Hu General is guarding Qin He, and today he was ordered by the General Soldier to ask Lu Zhizhou for your help. ”

"Qin Shoubei is serious, I don't know what the chief soldier commands?" Lu Jin hurriedly asked.

The other party was a happy person, and immediately took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over: "You can see the cause and effect at a glance." ”

Lu Jin hurriedly took the document and opened it to read it, and after a while, his eyebrows raised: "Is it actually for us to enter Beijing to offer victory?" At the same time, there were already some opinions in my heart, and it should be that those people in the DPRK and China had doubts about the outcome of this battle, so they used such a trick.

Sure enough, Qin He also added: "Mr. Hu feels that this matter seems to be a little strange, and the meaning of the imperial court is not only to show the glory of my Datong defenders, so he thought of coming to Lu Zhizhou......"

"What does General Bing Hu mean by letting the lower officials go to the capital as well?" Lu Zhen had already understood the other party's intentions, but still asked.

"Yes, after all, the credit for this battle lies with Lu Zhizhou, and you know the specific process of this battle best, so it is most appropriate for you to go to the capital."

Lu Zhen smiled and said that he was overpraised, but added in his heart: "I'm afraid that in addition to this reason, it is also because he knows that I have another backer in the capital." Obviously, this change occurred because some people in the court were jealous or doubtful of this great achievement, and if no one helped to say a few words in the court, this credit would have some variables. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but said: "Since General Hu is so elevated, the lower officials naturally don't dare to refuse." It's just that it will take more than a month to go to the capital this time, and it will take more than a month to come back and forth, and it looks like spring is about to begin......"

"Lu Zhizhou, you can rest assured, all the big and small affairs in Ulzhou will naturally have someone to help you deal with them, and you will definitely not be able to delay. Even at the prefect's yamen, we would say hello. Qin He hurriedly said.

Since the other party has arranged everything properly, of course Lu Zhen will no longer be pretentious, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Then the next official will receive the order!" ”
