After sending Lu Yanchang out, only Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo were left in the house.

However, compared with before, the sorrow on the faces of the two at this time was more obvious, especially Lu Guangchou, whose eldest son is now almost fifty years old, but he can't figure out any simple things, and he is naïve enough to believe in Wu Guoren, how can he rest assured that Qianzhou will be handed over to him?

"Yongqing, you have also seen that Yanchang is dull and likes to hunt, not a family protector. If I hand over my Qianzhou to him, I am afraid that it will not be long before I will be buried. So in the future, I hope you can come out and take charge of Qianzhou, how about it? Lu Guangchou sat up with difficulty, and looked at Tan Quanbo with burning eyes.

handed over Qianzhou to Tan Quanbo, which he had raised when he was seriously ill, and even sent someone to hand over the seal of Qianzhou's assassination history to Tan Quanbo, but Tan Quanbo was unwilling to take up the post on the grounds of old age.

As lifelong best friends, these two are extremely rare in this era of turmoil, and their friendship has not been affected in the slightest by power.

Regarding the location of the Qianzhou Thorn History, the two don't need to beat around the bush, they have always been outspoken.

"Mao, you're too worried. Although Yanchang couldn't figure it out for a while, but in general, he has a generous temperament, and he is your eldest son, and it is natural for him to inherit Qianzhou in the future, and everyone in Qianzhou will definitely be convinced. ”

"As for me, I'm old now, and I'm just barely surviving, and I don't think I'll live long. That is, you gave me the position of the assassin of Qianzhou, and you still have to return it to Yanchang in the future, so why bother doing it? Tan Quanbo shook his head with a wry smile.

Lu Guangchou was silent when he heard this.

Indeed, Tan Quanbo is a few years older than himself, and he may suddenly get sick and die one day.

Even if the position is passed to Tan Quanbo now, it won't be long before the heir to the history of the Qianzhou assassin has to make a choice.

Compared with Lu Yanchang, who has now served as the assassin of Shaozhou and has a certain prestige in Qianzhou, Tan Quanbo's own son is even more unbearable, and he has no popularity in Qianzhou at all.

So in the future, Tan Quanbo will die, and he will also return the rights to Lu Yanchang.

In this way, it is better to hand over Qianzhou to Lu Yanchang from the beginning, at least there will be less tossing, and you can also support him while Tan Quanbo is there.

Tan Quanbo has figured out this truth, so he will resolutely accept the position of the assassin of Qianzhou.

Lu Guangchou also understood this truth in his heart, but he was still lucky, thinking that Tan Quanbo might be able to live for more than ten years in the future, or find a more suitable successor in the future, in short, it would be more reassuring for him than handing over Qianzhou to Lu Yanchang now.

However, Tan Quanbo insisted on his opinion, and he had no way.

"That's it! Let's talk about Wu Envoy! Lu Guangchou was a little helpless, he lay down again, and said softly.

"Envoy Wu came here at this time, definitely wanting to find out about my condition and find out the situation in my Qianzhou City. Although I can't offend the Wu envoy, let alone give King Wu any excuses, but some necessary precautions must be taken. Lu Guangchou said.

"Not only can't make Wu Envoy feel cold, but at the same time, we must try to prevent them from going around to find out the news, which is not easy to grasp. I don't know if Yanchang can do this well. Tan Quanbo was also worried.

"In addition, the hearts of the people in my Qianzhou may not be stable, and now that Mao sighs that you are seriously ill, and Yanchang is not majestic enough, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. It's a tough situation, it's a tough situation! ”

It's not that the two of them didn't think about completely surrendering to Wu to protect their family's wealth.

But the two of them have worked hard for 25 years before they have Qianzhou, and it can be said that the hard work of their lives is here, and if they suddenly give up Qianzhou, the two will naturally be unwilling in their hearts.

Second, today's Qianzhou is far from the point of exhaustion, after all, they are already nominally subordinate to the state of Wu, as long as they do not make trouble, do not give any excuse to King Wu, plus the strength of Qianzhou itself, it may not be impossible to protect themselves.

In addition, one of the two is now seriously ill, the other is dying, and the weight of their words is naturally far less than usual, even if the two of them have the heart to completely surrender to the state of Wu, their generals may not be willing, but don't forget that the example of Wang Zhenzhi is ahead.

In normal times, the two of them could still plan slowly, but at this time they obviously didn't have the time for them to prepare.

Rashly announcing the surrender to Wu will only lead to internal turmoil, and the Lu family will suffer in the end.

So after thinking about it again, even Tan Quanbo, who is known as Xiao Zhuge in the end, couldn't make up his mind and decided whether to completely surrender to Wu State, so he could only take one step at a time.

……

When Lu Guangchou and the others were discussing the situation in Qianzhou with anxiety, at the north gate of the city, a large group of Qianzhou officials solemnly greeted the envoy of Wu under the leadership of Lu Yanchang.

"Your envoy came from afar, and it was rude to miss the distance below, please don't mind your envoy!" Among the crowd, Lu Yanchang was full of smiles, and he said with great enthusiasm.

The envoy of Wu replied with a smile: "Envoy Lu is serious, the main purpose of this envoy's visit is to comfort Ling Zun on behalf of my king, and the second purpose is to escort the imperial doctor to come......

This time, the envoy of Wu Guolai was named Wan Quangan, who was originally a commander in the Yang Xingmi era, but later became a civil official, and now serves as Langzhong in the Ministry of Rites.

This time, Yang Wu sent envoys to Qianzhou and Lingnan, and in terms of position, Liu Yin, who seized Lingnan, was naturally more valued than Lu Guangchou, who only had two states.

However, because of the geographical location, Wanquangan naturally went to Qianzhou first, and then went to Lingnan by way.

In his team of envoys of only more than 30 people, in addition to the envoy of Wan Quangan, there was also an extremely mysterious deputy envoy named Yang San, but he was a secret agent sent from the Long Sword Capital.

Lu Yanchang didn't care whether there were secret agents among these people, he obeyed the orders of Tan Quanbo and the others, and was extremely enthusiastic about Wanquangan and others, and the other Qianzhou officials may have been instructed in advance, and they were also very enthusiastic.

After all, Wan Quangan was born as a military general, and after patiently exchanging a few polite words with Lu Yanchang, he said with a smile: "Lu Envoy, I don't know how Ling Zun's condition is, I have the order of the king, let's go and visit first!" And although the imperial doctor in my palace does not dare to say that he is the best famous doctor in the world, he can also be called a good doctor."

"Well, that's right! The king not only sent a noble envoy to greet him, but also sent a royal doctor to come, so gracious, I am grateful! ”

Without much delay, the group prepared to set off for the Thorn Mansion.

At this moment, among the people in Qianzhou, there was a general dressed as a martial artist, and suddenly secretly glanced at Wanquangan.

Wan Quangan was stunned in his heart, but when he looked at the man again, he saw that the man had returned to his original state, and his expression was very natural, which made Wan Quangan think that he had just seen something wrong.

He saw that the people left and right, especially Lu Yanchang, didn't notice it, and immediately pretended that nothing had happened, but he secretly thought about it in his heart.

"What does it mean that this man is winking at me? Is there any danger that can't be done? ”

"Well, it shouldn't be, Lu Guangchou hasn't had the courage to attack us and others; And even if he wants to do it, he doesn't need to do it in Qianzhou City. ”

"It seems that there is another reason why this person is looking at me, but it is not easy to figure out the purpose of this person."

He couldn't figure it out for a while, but he quietly inquired about it, and only then did he learn that the Qianzhou general who had just glanced at him was named Li Qiu, who was the commander of the Qianzhou Ya soldiers, and he was very prestigious in Qianzhou City, and he was deeply trusted by Lu Guangchou and was in charge of heavy troops.

"It seems that this Lu Guangchou's cronies and generals are not as simple as they seem!"

That night, Wan Quangan and his party were temporarily arranged in a manor in the city.

Previously, after reading Yang Wu's decree and having the imperial doctor treat Lu Guangchou, Lu Yanchang held a banquet to entertain everyone.

However, because Lu Guangchou was seriously ill, the banquet did not last long before they went back.

At this time, everyone did not rest, but gathered together to talk about what they had seen and heard about the day.

"Lu Guangchou's condition is indeed very serious, and it is almost difficult to get better. In the old man's opinion, in half a year or a month, Lu Guangchou will definitely die! Imperial Physician Liu Jin spoke first of his judgment.

"Are you sure? Nothing could go wrong, right? Deputy Envoy Yang San asked in a deep voice.

"Of course I'm sure, the old man can't do other skills, but when it comes to treating people, there are few people in the world who are stronger than the old man!" Liu Jin said with some smugness.

This time, Yang Wu specially sent an imperial doctor to come, in addition to showing his generosity to everyone, the more important purpose was to find out Lu Guangchou's condition.

At this time, with Liu Jin's affirmative reply, Wan Quangan and others had their eyes lit up.

"Okay, it's not too early at this time, Imperial Doctor Liu will continue to see a doctor for Lu Guangchou tomorrow, so let's rest early!"

Wan Quangan sent the imperial doctor away, closed the door again, and let the guards guard at the door, before sitting down with Yang Sanduo to discuss the next situation.

"It seems that the great change in Qianzhou is not far away, but I don't know if Lu Guangchou has already chosen an heir. I heard that he intended to give up the position of assassin to Tan Quanbo, but Tan Quanbo resolutely refused, I don't know if this matter is true or not? Wanquan said in a low voice.

"It should be true, after all, Tan Quanbo is already old, and judging from what I have seen today, it should be Lu Yanchang who will become the heir......" Yang Sandao on the side.

"By the way, when I was at the gate of the city today, Li Qiu, the commander of the Qianzhou Ya soldiers, suddenly glanced at me, and I don't know what he meant." Wan Quangan whispered the process at that time.

"Li Qiu? Isn't this person Lu Guangchou's henchman? Yang San frowned.

At this time, the guards outside came in and reported: "Two messengers, a man dressed in cloth has come to see him, and he said that his name is Li Qiu. I wonder if the two messengers will see him? ”

Wan Quangan's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they hurriedly smiled: "See, of course I want to see!" ”
