(Again add more to the leader of the alliance of the Qinggrad classmates。。。。。 ）

As soon as the boat docked, and before the gangplank was hit, dozens of people waiting on the shore greeted it. Among these people, there are not only men with swords and swords at their waists, and their waists are straight, and they can be seen as men in the army, as well as servants in green clothes and hats, led by middle-aged men wearing brocade clothes, tall and extraordinary.

Xu Chengzong, who had come to the bow of the boat, saw these people, a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and as the gangplank was put on, he had already stepped off the boat before Ah Hu and the others opened the way, and came to the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Uncle Zhang that you would come here to pick me up." As he spoke, he turned his head and introduced to Lu Jin, who came down later: "Brother Lu, this is the chief steward of my house, Uncle Zhang, Xu Zhang, who has watched me grow up since I was a child. ”

Lu Zhen took a closer look at the person in front of him, and found that this middle-aged man named the steward was calm and calm, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he looked like a big man more than many important ministers of the court, and he really couldn't believe that he would be willing to be a small steward.

But then, Lu Zhen laughed again. It is said that the prime minister's status is much higher than that of the prime minister, and as the chief steward of his house, isn't it higher than that of ordinary courtiers? So he also bowed his hand: "It turned out that it was Steward Xu in person, and he was polite in Xialu." ”

Xu Zhangben was looking at him, and when he heard him report his name, there was more scrutiny in his eyes, and he said humbly: "It turned out that Lord Lu was in person, and the small one was just a mere person, so he really couldn't afford such courtesy." As he spoke, he bent down to return the salute, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of self-confidence.

The three scholars who came down with them also heard this conversation, and their faces changed in unison. It was only at this time that they knew that Lu Zhen still had the identity of an official, no wonder he could be so valued by Xu Gongzi. At the same time, I was still a little uneasy, I don't know if I have offended the other party too much along the way, and whether it will bring me any trouble.

After some introductions and greetings to each other, Xu Chengzong looked at Xu Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, why did you wait here so coincidentally?" Someone came back with news, but we were still halfway early. ”

"Grandpa, he has always been thinking about your itinerary, especially after hearing about what happened to you in Shandong, and he kept sending people to the canal to inquire. So I asked to wait here, in order to prevent the second son, you from going ashore and running away, but the grandfather has been waiting in the house for a long time. Xu Zhang explained in a low voice.

These words made Xu Chengzong smile a little embarrassedly: "Although I don't know anything, I still miss my eldest brother a lot after leaving Nanjing for more than half a year, how can I stay outside now that I am back." Let's go back. As he spoke, he glanced back at Lu Zhen to see what he meant.

At this time, Lu Jin's eyes fell on Lin Lie and the three of them, who got off the boat last, and Qinggele, who was supported by them. It can be seen that this Mongolian man's figure is really good, he was dying just now, and he was able to force himself to get off the boat at this time, and he didn't need Lin Lie next to him to put in any effort.

Obviously, his previous state was so poor because he didn't untie the knot in his heart and blamed himself. Now that Lu Jin's heart is broken, the spirit of the whole person is completely different. Seeing this, Lu Jin's heart was also quite happy, after all, it was quite a sense of accomplishment to be able to revive a person who was loyal to the Lord.

"Brother Lu, are you going to go with me to meet my eldest brother?" It wasn't until Xu Chengzong asked him that Lu Zhen came back to his senses, and his eyes swept over Qinggele again: "This, if Lin Lie and I were a few people, they should indeed go to see Wei Guogong, but this ......"

Seeing him looking at Qingler, Xu Zhang looked at the other party a few times in confusion: "What do you say?" This strong man seems to have a wound on his body. Then it is even more time to go to the Guogong Mansion with us for a few days, and invite the famous doctor in Nanjing City to diagnose and treat him. ”

"That...... Uncle Zhang, you don't know that he was the one who was chased and killed by Jinyi Wei when he was in Shandong. Xu Chengzong hurriedly lowered his voice and revealed Qinggele's identity.

When Xu Zhang heard this, his face became a little more solemn, and he was slapping Jinyiwei's face by taking people into the Guogong Mansion so directly. But then he said: "What's this, as long as it's your friend, no matter your identity, you are all guests of our government, does he dare to send someone to break into my government's mansion to take people?" ”

Xu Chengzong also felt that this was very much his appetite, so he nodded in agreement. But Lu Zhen said: "Although you really don't have to be afraid of anyone as the Duke of Wei, after all, it is still involved in the palace, so it is better not to cause more trouble in my opinion." ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Zhang was not as high-spirited as his second son, so he followed his words and asked.

"In my opinion, it would be better for me to take him away. Xu Gongzi has helped us a lot before, but this time it is really not good to affect the Wei Mansion again. What's more, I'm just a general judge in Hangzhou who is about to take office, and my position is low, so it's a little inappropriate to go to see Wei Guogong like this. Lu Zhen expressed his opinion.

Xu Chengzong seemed to want to continue to stay, but Xu Zhang gave him a look: "If Lord Lu has made up his mind, he won't dare to force it." Someone ...... coming."

As soon as he greeted him, a servant came up with a tray of twenty ingots of gold, which looked like it was about a hundred taels. In the sun, everyone was dizzy. Xu Zhang took the tray and held it in front of Lu Zhen with both hands: "Since Lord Lu has concerns, our Guogong Mansion is not reluctant, but please accept this little bit of heart as a coil to go to Hangzhou, thinking that it is a little bit of our mind." ”

Lu Zhen seemed to be shaken by the reflection of the gold ingot, and couldn't help but squint, then smiled: "Steward Xu is really too polite." I really deserve it...... "As he spoke, his hand reached up very unceremoniously and took the rather heavy tray. With today's gold and silver price, this plate of gold ingots is enough to have seven or eight hundred taels of silver, which almost doubles Lu Jin's worth.

Seeing that Lu Zhen actually took the tray without refusing, Xu Zhang was a little surprised, but he still smiled and didn't say anything more. As for Xu Chengzong, he just looked at the two people in front of him playfully, and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then I will leave it for you to be a guest at my Wei State Mansion in the future." ”

"Definitely." Lu Zhen arched his hand.

Several of them are not the personalities of their mothers-in-law, and since the matter has been decided, they will not delay it any longer. Soon, Xu Chengzong and the others boarded the sedan chair waiting for the side under the escort of a slave general, while Lu Zhen walked back to the side of the boat and looked at Qinggrad: "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." ”

"My lord, in Nizhny Qinggrad. Gorika, you can call me Qinggrad. Qingle hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "I haven't thanked you for waking up my kindness before." ”

"It's just a few words, it's nothing." Lu Zhen waved his hand, and then looked at the team of the Wei State Mansion that was gradually moving away: "They originally planned to invite you as a guest, but I refused to help you, presumably you won't blame me." ”

Qingge looked at Lu Jin, not the slightest bit unhappy: "Lord Lu, you must have your reasons for doing this." ”

"Not bad. In fact, Jin Yiwei may not know the truth about your affairs this time, and he still thinks that Xu Dudu is not dead, which will make them pay more attention to him and the Wei State Mansion. If you follow, given that there are many people in Nanjing City, it is very likely that the Jinyi guards there will see something, so it is better to separate from them here. Lu Zhen patiently explained.

Qinggel nodded understandingly: "Lord Lu, what you said is that I am safer without them." After all, I'm just a small person, and Jinyiwei can't spend too much effort to come to me. ”

"Yes, then you are willing to go to Hangzhou with me first, so that everyone can take care of each other." Lu Zhen asked, looking into the other party's eyes.

Without any hesitation, Qinggele said, "Of course I am willing to follow you, Lord Lu." You saved me, and you are a person who is bent on dealing with Wang Zhen and his party, so I naturally want to help! ”

Lu Zhen smiled: "But judging from the current situation, there is still a long way to go from our goal." ”

"I'm not afraid of dying, am I still afraid that I won't be able to wait?" Chingele is unequivocal.

Lu Zhen laughed: "Okay, then let's work together and do something different in Jiangnan first." ”

This time, Lin Lie, Zhu Chang and Lin Qing also followed Qinggele with their fists and responded: "Dare not serve your life!" ”

Lu Zhen nodded, but his eyes fell on the direction of Xu Chengzong and their departure again, Xu Zhang's reaction just now seemed to be to send himself and the others away, otherwise it would be impossible to bring those gold ingots with him as Cheng Yi to give to himself, but what was his idea?

In the carriage that was far away, Xu Chengzong also asked his doubts: "Uncle Zhang, you have already made up your mind not to let Lu Zhen and them enter Nanjing City, right?" ”

In front of Xu Chengzong, Xu Zhang didn't have anything to hide, nodded and said, "Not bad." In fact, some of your actions in the capital this time made Guogong very unhappy, and I felt that you were too good at causing trouble, especially not only offended those nobles, but also offended Wang Zhendu. So when I came out to meet you, my grandfather sent me a message to send them all away. Fortunately, Lu Zhen actually proposed not to go to the Guogong Mansion by himself, which saved him the trouble of face. ”

"Hey, big brother is fine with everything else, but he's too careful. My Wei Mansion is the head of the world's nobles, and I am always afraid of this and that, which is really embarrassing! Xu Chengzong couldn't help but shake his head.

"Grandpa, he also has his own difficulties...... Xu Zhang helped explain, and then suppressed his voice: "What's more, there are some things he doesn't know......"
