Lu Jin's face changed several times, and finally he spoke: "Since that's the case, then I won't go, let's just say that I suddenly got a sudden illness and can't go to Datong." ”

"My lord, please listen to me, this is related to your safety......" Seeing Lu Zhen speak, Lin Lie subconsciously wanted to continue to persuade, but halfway through his words, he was a little embarrassed to find that things were not what he thought, so he could only stop his mouth and look at the adult in front of him with some strangeness.

Originally, Lin Lie thought that Lu Zhen would definitely insist, and it was not his own words that could persuade him to cancel his decision to go to Datong. After all, this is to report to the prefect, and at worst, it has a lot to do with Lu Jin's future, so how can he say that he won't go if he doesn't go? For this reason, he also prepared a lot of rhetoric.

Unexpectedly, these words were useless in the end, and Lu Zhen actually agreed not to go to Datong in one bite, which made Lin Lie, who wanted to say something in his stomach, really caught off guard, and could only stand there stunned: "How did this adult become so easy to talk?" ”

He didn't know that as a time-traveler in later generations, Lu Zhen didn't know much about the set of rules in the officialdom. And in his opinion, his own life is the most important, and no matter how important it is, it can't compare to his life. Since there are people preparing to intercept and kill themselves halfway, what kind of hero is it, why don't you just go away? As for the troubles that may arise from this, we will talk about it later.

Seeing that Lu Zhen was looking at him with a somewhat puzzled look, Lin Lie smiled awkwardly again, and hurriedly changed his words: "Since adults can think like this, it is naturally better." But there is still a bit of uncertainty in this matter. ”

"Oh? But what variables? Lu Zhen asked with some curiosity.

After knowing their arrangement, he went to Datong, intending to find a friend in the army to help spread the news. But as a result, I got a definite news there - the current Datong General Army will come to my Guangling County on the sixth day of the new year to inspect and appease the army. ”

"The general army of Datong wants to come to Guangling?" Lu Zhen was also stunned when he heard this: "Is this matter accurate?" ”

"It's true, the news has been revealed in the army, and his personal guards are ready. Because there had been several border towns in Daming that had been harassed by Tartars several times before, the general army had this decision in order to boost the morale of the army and deter the thieves. And the first stop of his inspection was Guangling's garrison. Lin Lie hurriedly told the news he had heard.

Lu Zhen happily slapped the coffee table: "Great, this is a great opportunity to expose Xiao Mo's various crimes!" As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Lie with some admiration, before he wondered why it took Lin Lie so many days to inquire about the news around, it turned out that he also went to Datong and found such a more important news. It took almost two days just to go back and forth, and this person's action efficiency was really high.

"The lowly post also has such an idea, compared to reporting the matter to the prefect's yamen, and then passing it on to the general army, it is more powerful to report directly to the general army. But ......" said, Lin Lie frowned a little embarrassed: "There are two problems with this. ”

"I know what you're going to say." Lu Zhen smiled: "The chief soldier is not a magistrate like me, so it is not easy to meet him." ”

Lin Lie nodded: "That's right." ”

"Another point, the consequences of this are not small. There is still a buffer to report the matter to the prefect's yamen, but I went directly to complain to the chief soldier, that is, I directly exposed myself, and I may become the enemy of all the border troops, I am right? Lu Zhen asked with a smile.

Lin Lie's eyes drooped: "This point is even more serious than the previous problem, my lord should be able to imagine that he Xiao Mo should not be the only one who dares to do such a thing with so many garrisons on my border." If you expose it like this, it may lead to the leakage of many people's charges at the same time, and you may become the public enemy of everyone at that time. ”

"I know." Lu Zhen nodded vigorously, but then smiled and said, "So what?" Isn't it because I might offend the frontier garrisons that I can't make their crimes public? That will only boost their arrogance, and will only make the situation of the border army more and more unbearable, and in the end even completely collapsed. I saw the shortcomings and didn't think of solving them, but I only avoided talking about them, but it was my border town of Daming that was ruined, and it was only my people who suffered from it. As an official of the imperial court, since I know about this, there is no possibility of hiding it! ”

These words were so loud that Lin Lie was also moved: "My lord......"

He originally thought that Lu Zhen was doing all this in order to regain his own county order authority, but it was not until this time that he realized that he was too villainous to live in the belly of a gentleman after listening to Lu Jin's words, and it turned out that Lord Lu was a real person with a heart for the people!

This made Lin Lie's heart agitated, and he had secretly decided in his heart that no matter what happened this time, even if he fought for his own life, he would protect Lord Lu's thoughtfulness.

Lu Jin just smiled: "Regardless of the troubles in the future, let's talk about the previous question first, how can we meet the chief soldier smoothly." ”

"It's a little difficult." Lin Lie's face was embarrassed: "Or, wait for him to arrive in the middle of the road, and then find an opportunity to hand over your handwritten letter to the chief soldier?" ”

"I'm afraid this won't work." Lu Zhen shook his head: "Let's not mention your martial arts, since you are the guard of the general army, it must be extraordinary, do you think you can easily get close to him?" If it were really that simple, I was afraid that the Tartars would have assassinated the chief soldier a long time ago. ”

Lin Lie lowered his head and had to admit it. The general army of Datong is the elite commander of tens of thousands of border troops here, and he can know how careful and rigorous the guards who accompany him on patrol. Maybe as soon as he shows up, he will be shot like a hedgehog by random arrows.

Lu Jin said again: "And even if you can really come to the general soldier, can I accept a letter from a seven-grade county order?" Compared to a general like Xiao Mo, the relationship between me and him is too distant. It's not close, let alone just a letter from me? Not only will this not work, but it will even make Xiao Mo take precautions early, startling the snake and making it self-defeating. ”

Lin Lie's face became more and more solemn. It was only then that he realized how simple he was thinking about this matter, and when Lu County ordered him to say this, it was all a problem.

In fact, if Lu Zhen said this before expressing his attitude, I am afraid that the effect would be counterproductive, making Lin Lie think that he was shirking. But now, because he believes that Lu Zhen is dedicated to the country, these concerns of his have become old words, which are only admirable. Therefore, in many cases, the skill and timing of speaking are extremely critical, and the same words, spoken at different times, can have completely different effects.

Lu Zhen said, his expression was solemn: "So either you don't do it this time, or if you want to do it, you have to make it bigger." It is not enough to intercept the troops of the general army on the road outside the county seat, the best thing to do is to report the matter when they enter the city and patrol the barracks! ”

"Huh? The lord plans to go straight to Xiao Mo's military camp to sue him? Lin Lie was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and looked at Lu Zhen in disbelief.

Lu Zhen nodded without hesitation: "Yes, success or failure will be in one fell swoop, and I will simply face the difficulties." ”

"But...... It's not easy to get into this barracks. ”

"This, it depends on the attitude of the chief soldier. And I'm still an official of the imperial court, once I make a big fuss, he won't be able to see me! Lu Zhen said and smiled again: "And I also mean to think about myself when I do this." This is to disclose my identity, even if Xiao Mo wants to interfere with it, it will not be easy to do it. ”

He said it so bluntly, Lin Lie naturally couldn't stop it, so he could only hold his fists and say: "I am willing to follow the adults and go with me, and I have no regrets about dying!" ”

"That's natural, you know a lot more about the ills of the army than I do, and of course I won't let you stay out of it." Lu Zhen smiled, got up solemnly and came to him, and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's fight side by side and clean up the filth in this regiment of troops!" ”

"Humble command!" Lin Lie immediately gave up his hand, with a look of excitement on his face!

Because of this relationship, Lin Lie also temporarily lived in the county office. And Lu Zhen returned to the back office.

It's just that when he came to his room, he was stunned. Because he saw Chu Yunrong standing in front of him with grace. This was really much beyond his expectations, although the relationship between the two had improved greatly because of the past few days of getting along, but she rarely looked for herself, let alone took the initiative to wait for herself.

"What's the matter with you?" Lu Zhen asked tentatively.

Chu Yunrong looked at Lu Zhen like a stranger: "Are you really going to do this?" ”

"What am I going to do...... You got it? After asking casually, Lu Zhen understood and asked with some surprise.

Chu Yunrong nodded: "Cui Mei happened to hear your conversation just now. This thing is so dangerous, don't say that it can't be done, even if it is done, you will also offend all the border troops...... "Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, it is not an exaggeration to say this."

Lu Zhen looked back at her resolutely: "Some things, no matter how dangerous they are, someone has to do them, right?" But you may also be implicated by me...... Originally, I was going to send you and Cuimei away from here, but judging from the current situation, it is safest for you to stay in the county office. ”

"What about you...... Be careful, you won't have to worry too much about me here. Chu Yunrong's eyes drooped, not wanting the person opposite to see the look of doubt in his eyes, so he just said softly.

"Hmm!" Lu Zhen nodded, at this time, he didn't intend to think too much, he was just bent on getting this thing done, and put the rest aside first.

Now, it's just a matter of waiting for that day to come!
