"This is going to do something to the family!"

Suddenly, the situation has gradually become clear by now, and even the most sluggish person can see that these two news, at least one of them, is directly aimed at the family!

All of a sudden, inside and outside Jixian County, and even the entire Youzhou family, they couldn't resist their thoughts, if it was changed to before, they wouldn't have too many scruples at all, and after noticing that all the families had changed, the next step would definitely be to unite and put pressure together.

But now they don't dare.

"This time the general returns, although most of the soldiers and horses are stationed in Bingzhou, there are still thousands of Xuanjia returning with him, plus the 20,000 people who have stayed in Youzhou, and Zhang Fang's soldiers who are returning, the entire Youzhou up and down, at least 30,000 Xuanjia soldiers can be pulled!"

In Lu Zhi's mansion, a young man was in front of this important official of the general's mansion, telling the situation.

This person is Lu Zhi's son Lu Xu, who has just returned from Pingzhou.

In addition to Lu Zhi, there are a few people sitting here, all of them are gray-haired, and they are not young at first glance, and they are all old men of the Lu family.

Together with Lu Zhi, they can be said to be the backbone of the Lu clan in Youzhou today.

"Thirty thousand Xuanjia Army, what is the concept, you elders may imagine?"

One of them asked, "What is it?" The old man had accompanied Dinghou to the south in the past, and he fought with 30,000 troops against 100,000 barbarians, and he could win a big victory! ”

"That's exactly what happened!" Lu Shu nodded, and said, "The dignified heavenly army, standing with courtesy, practicing with law, and orderly, is to attack everything, and the power of the Xuanjia army is even more powerful than the imperial court, 30,000 soldiers and armor are enough to destroy the Xiongnu country, not to mention my Youzhou family?" ”

Lu Zhi's expression was grim, and he said: "You went to Pingzhou this time, but you were ordered to contact Deng Tingshi, what can you learn from him?" ”

"Deng Tingshi also said that the momentum of the Xuanjia Army is difficult to match, because if we are facing the Xuanjia soldiers, we will be unable to resist it, and if it is true as those families said, at this time, contact the people around them, and want to take advantage of the Xuanjia soldiers stationed in the state, and raise troops to make trouble, which is simply looking for death!" Lu Shu was unceremoniously sarcastic.

What he said was that the family, through private channels, reacted to the news that began to circulate, and someone actually proposed to raise troops to persecute it.

"I'm very skeptical about the source of this news," noticing a few elders showing thoughtful expressions, Lu Shu continued, "This matter, it is very likely that the secret spy department secretly released the news, to see if there is a family to take the bait, once you show interest, I am afraid that you will be on the roster, and there is no hope of turning over, so we must not follow it." ”

"But now that the general is clearly ready to make a move, what will happen if we wait for patience?" One couldn't help but speak, and his words were full of sorrow, "I'm afraid this butcher's knife is about to fall." ”

"Then we have to use other methods to see if we can get a glimpse of life." As Lu Xuan spoke, he pointed to the outside of the courtyard, "Outside our city, didn't we erect an altar, it is said that the father-in-law of Mo'anjie, who once served the emperor, now lives there, and the general has sent greetings several times and wanted to feast, but they were all pushed away by Mo'anjie, saying that they would see you on the day of the sacrifice, maybe I can go over to see you." ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he also understood, nodded and said: "Yes, the general has always respected the first emperor, and this extermination of the Xiongnu country was caused by the matter of the first emperor!" Now, up and down this Youzhou, where is there anyone who dares to refuse the general, but the old eunuch, who refused several times, the general is not angry, he still treats him politely, and speaks for him everywhere, which shows that he is also respectful to this person, if he can get a word or two, it may still be useful. ”

So far, these people from the family really have no choice but to rush to the doctor and make the last effort, after all, they also know that relying on force is absolutely useless, as for other means?

Thinking about it, Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh and said: "Speaking of which, the children of the generals who went out on the expedition and gathered together are said to have not been released until now, and I don't know how long they will be locked up. ”

Lu Shu reminded: "This is not necessarily a bad thing for them, otherwise it is just a variety of rumors in private now, I am afraid that these people have already been involved, and the end is even more worrying." ”

"And so it is." Lu Zhi nodded, and then changed his words, "In seven days, the altar will be built, and then the general will escort Zhao Ran and others over to kill them to sacrifice to the emperor, and the old eunuch will come forward. ”

An old man from the Lu family said: "Although Mo Anjie is not from a big family, he also received the favor of the family when he was young, I believe he will know the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, and it is good to contact him." ”

With the tone set by a few elders, this matter was naturally decided, but it was still the younger generation like Lu Xu, who did the specific thing, but he was also happy to do it, and the next morning after receiving the permission, he went to the altar outside the city.

At this glance, Lu Shu was also quite surprised, when he left, this altar had not yet been established, it was just an outline, and when he came back this time, it was almost complete, such a speed, it was really amazing.

However, what surprised him even more was the person who came and went-

Not only the people, but also many children of the family came over and asked a few acquaintances, Lu Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly, there were seven or eight of these ten, and his purpose was the same, they all came to see the old eunuch.

"Brother Lu, you are also here to see that Mo Gong? It's going to be difficult, and I don't know if you'll be able to enter that temple today. The acquaintance said a few words, and was called over by his own relatives.

Lu Xu couldn't help frowning, thinking about how to meet Mo'an Festival.

As a result, before there was any action, the crowd suddenly stirred, and a group of children of the family were in an uproar, but many people cheered.

"What's wrong?" When Lu Shu saw this, he asked the casual servant to go over to inquire about the news.

The servant hurriedly ran over, and after asking around, he ran back again, tired of sweating on his head, but he didn't bother to wipe it, so he said to his master: "The little ones have all found out, saying that there is a list posted in the city, and they want to do the 'big imperial examination', and a few sons of the family got the news, came to report, and said the content, so the crowd was surprised." ”

"Big imperial affairs? But Wenju? Lu Shu immediately thought of the second news that had spread widely in the past two days, in the past few days, the families in Youzhou have focused their attention on the assassination, for fear of affecting themselves, but not many people pay attention to the big literary matter.

"Tell me carefully, what is the content of the big imperial examination?"

Suddenly, Lu Shu chuckled in his heart, realizing that he and his clan may have neglected something.
