It's past midnight, and it's getting late!

After Sima Xi helped Cao Shen deal with the official documents in the mansion, he returned to his residence a little tired. / He is now in the Loucang Mansion, serving as an assistant to help Cao Shen with some chores. Although the warehouse is small, it can be fully equipped. There are many trivial things to do every day. Relying on Cao Shen alone is obviously not suitable. After all, Cao Shen needs to do it himself in big things, and in small things, he also needs the help of others.

In the Loucang Mansion, there are a total of six officials.

Including Xiang Qiang, Sima Xi is the youngest of the six. But on the contrary, what Cao Shen values most is Sima Xi.

It is no wonder that Sima Xi's knowledge is not bad, and he has been taught by Zhang Cang and Cheng Miao successively, and he is the best among the six.

was born under Liu Kan, and his trust is naturally higher than that of others. Cao Shen also gave many things to Sima Xi to deal with out of the consideration of cultivating talents. Since Liu Kan returned from Xue County, Sima Xi was officially transferred to the government. Two or three years have passed, and the kid who migrated with the people of Sanchuan County in the past is now able to take charge of himself in the government.

Although the Chen Shi Rebellion did not cause much fluctuation in the building, it still had a certain impact.

Since Lu decided to stay in Loucang, he fought to the death with Chen Shejun. Then the next thing was thrown to Cao Shen to deal with.

Pacify the people, remove hidden dangers, and count the treasury...... Things like this are enough to keep Cao Shen busy. Even with it, Sima Xi was also busy. He first took the household registration book, followed Zhong Liwu and Jia Shao to visit the situation around the warehouse, and then came back to count the treasury and sort out the official documents.

When these things are done, it is late.

Early tomorrow morning, I will have to count the warehouses in the city with Cao Shen and Kuaiche, and I will definitely be even busier.

Damn the thief. If they hadn't caused trouble. How can there be so many things? Sima Xi cursed secretly in his heart. Walk along with the accommodation.

He lived in the backyard of the government and in the junction of Liujia Grange.

There is a ground courtyard. Three blue-tiled houses. One is a study. Two are bedrooms. The conditions are very good. The environment is also secluded.

Sima Xi pushed open the courtyard door. I was about to go back to my room to rest.

At this time. The door to the other room was pushed open......

Han Shin walked out. Wearing a piece of armor. In his hand, he held the ancestral sword. If only this was the dress. Sima Xi would not be surprised. Han Shin is different from what he has learned. He cultivated the land as a scholar of criminal law and government affairs. Han Shin, on the other hand, majored in military science. Miscellaneous studies are supplemented.

On weekdays, Han Shin dresses like this.

But today, he still has a package on his shoulder. Wearing leggings, he looks like he wants to travel far away.

Han Xin obviously didn't expect that he would meet Sima Xi. At first, I was stunned. Immediately, there was an embarrassed look on his face and a wry smile.

"Kiko, I'm back so late!"

Sima Xi didn't react at first, nodded and walked to his room. But after taking two steps, he felt that something was wrong.

"Letter, where are you going, why are you dressed up like this?"

Han Xin said: "Madame just came to me and asked me to go out to do something...... Kiko, I'm busy today. Came back so late. It must have been hard. Rest early! I still have something to do, so I won't instigate you. ”

After speaking. He was about to leave.

Speaking of which, Han Xin's status in Loucang is not bad now. Liu Kan values him very much. But for some reason, Mr. Lu felt that it was not smooth to see Han Xin. So in private, he once said to Liu Kan: "Han Xin is not very old, but he is extremely ambitious. His eyes are very lively, and when he talks to people, he often looks forward to it in private, and he is not a loyal person. This person can share wealth and prosperity, but he cannot share hardships and hardships, and needs to be small

And Liu Kan was influenced by later generations and had a very good sense of Han Xindi

This guy is indeed smart, and he has a unique profile on top of military science, which is extraordinary. Isn't there a saying in later generations, called Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier? In time, this guy must be a master of military science. Moreover, Liu Kan has always felt that Han Xin died a little unjustly. So he wanted to give Han Xin a broader stage, so he didn't care much about Lu's words.

Maybe it's really natural...... The Lu family and Han Xin don't seem to deal with each other. In history, Han Xin died at the hands of Lu Pheasant, and now that Lu Pheasant is dead, Lu also has no good impression of Han Xin.

However, Liu Kan's emphasis on Han Xin does not mean that Lu Hui values Han Xin.

Not only Lu, but also Chen Ping and Kuiche, all felt that Han Xin was very frivolous and ambitious, and he was really unusable.

It is precisely because of this that Sima Xi is now able to take charge on his own, but Han Xin is still a white body.

However, Sima Xi and Han Xin have a good relationship. When he heard Han Xin say this, he didn't take it to heart. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Han Xin, Sima Xi suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly changed greatly. He turned around suddenly, stopped Han Xin with a sharp voice, and looked at him intently.

"Letter, Master Lu called Mrs. over in the evening, and he hasn't come back yet.

The lady had been persuading the old lady before, and she was busy dealing with various things, and she didn't summon anyone else at all...... Madam, when did you see you? ”

"Ah, this ......"

Sima Xi's gaze suddenly became cold.

"Han Xin, don't you want to turn your back on your master at this time?"

Han Xin lowered his head.

He pondered for a moment and said softly, "Xizi, since you have guessed everything, I will not hide it from you." The master has not heard from him for more than half a year, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and his life and death are unknown. Don't you realize it? Master...... It's likely to get into big trouble, and maybe even ...... In fact, Chen Daozi and his wife will not be unaware, but to this day, they still don't want to admit it.

Well, even if the old man is still alive, what can he do?

Lao Qin was tyrannical and perverse, and he was already angry with people and gods. The building warehouse is located in Chudi, which seems to be rich, but it is the land of four wars, and it will be regarded as a thorn in the side of many people. Once Lao Qin falls, even if the old man is alive, will he be able to save the situation? Impossible...... The will of the people. Old Qin will die. At that time, Loucang will inevitably become fat in the eyes of many people. The warehouse can block it once, but it can't be blocked forever. It's such a big place, so many people. The more baggage you have, the easier it is to be remembered by others.

The big husband should be in troubled times, carry a three-foot sword, and establish a meritorious career.

Han Xin is not talented, but also wants to achieve something...... Kiko, you've been studying for many years. Talented, why not join me in finding a master?

When the time comes, I will be outside the palm of my hand, and you will be in the palm of your hand, and I will be crowned as the king and worship the prime minister. It's not impossible. ”

Sima Xi couldn't help but be furious, "Shut up." Sima Xi has nothing else to do, and has been studying for several years. I only learned the words loyalty, righteousness, honesty and shame. I was an orphan, and I was taken in by my lord, who not only gave me food. He also taught me to read and write. Such kindness cannot be repaid by death.

You were a prodigal, the lord took pity on you for being lonely, saw that you were smart, and kept you by his side.

But you, not only do you not want to repay it, but you speak such shameless words in times of crisis. Don't say that the master is not dead, even if the master is really gone, there are still the lady and the little son...... You, you, you. You no-doer. I only have one breath, and you don't want to leave. ”

Han Xin didn't expect it. On weekdays, he is gentle and elegant, and Sima Xi is taciturn. How can there be such a violent temperament.

Seeing that Sima Xi was going to fight with him, he couldn't help but panic.

"Kiko, don't be in a hurry......"

He took a step back, glanced outside the courtyard gate, waved his hand and said, "I'm actually also kind, if you don't appreciate it, it's just that, why treat me like this?" I don't mean to turn my back on my lord, it's just that this is the general trend, don't you understand the situation...... Ah, ma'am! ”

Han Xin suddenly exclaimed, with a look of fear on his face, and looked behind Sima Xi.

Sima Xi was stunned, and instinctively turned his head to look back.

But the moment he turned his head, he immediately realized that he had been fooled.

Behind him was a house, how could Lu come out from behind? I only heard the sound of Cang Chang in my ears, and a cold glow swept over the corner of my eye.

Sima Xi knew that it was not good, and raised his hand to parry.

I only heard a click, and the blood light collapsed...... Sima screamed with joy, and Po Tong fell in a pool of blood.

Lu Wen returned to his residence from Lu Wen, his face was gloomy and a little frightening.

She never expected that at such a time, the first to stand up and want to surrender was actually her parents. In the evening, Lu was called over by Lu Wen. thought that Lu Wen had something important, but when she arrived at Lu's house, she saw an unexpected person.

Lu Ze!

Lu's eldest brother......

Counting it, I haven't seen Lu Ze for two or three years.

Since Lu Wen's family moved from Pei County to Loucang, Lu rarely met with Lu Ze. As for Lu Ze, he didn't want to come to live in Loucang, so he lived alone in the old house of the Lu family in Peixian County. At the end of the year, Lu Du may not be able to meet Lu Ze once.

The original business of the Lu family, Lu Wen has stopped most of it.

He is now in the building, enjoying peace. If you want a field to have a field, you want people to have people. Every year, a part of the profits will be collected from Jiangyang.

These days are comfortable, so why bother to run around in the wind and rain?

However, there are some businesses that he has kept. However, this part of the business is all managed by Lu Ze alone.

Lu has Liu Kan to take care of, and he has no worries about eating and drinking all his life, and he is very beautiful.

Lu Shizhi is now also an important figure in Loucangdi, holding an important position in the army, and he is also an official doctor and a civil lord, so he doesn't need to worry about it. After Lu Pheasant's death, the only person in the Lu family who worries Lu Wen is probably his eldest son Lu Ze. Originally, Lu Ze could also enjoy life in Loucang, but this Lu Ze never forgot the hatred of Liu Kan who broke his leg in the past, and always felt that Liu Kan's family was just relying on the Lu family to make a living, but now it is infinitely beautiful, so why should he be embarrassed by the eldest son of Lu?

Regardless of whether Liu Kan was kind or malicious when he broke his leg at the beginning......

Lu Ze just can't forget it.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to come to Liu Kan, even if he relies on his father to eat, he is unwilling.

Relying on the businesses left to him by Lu Wen, over the years, Lu Ze has been running around, but his life is not bad. Although it is not a big fortune, it can be regarded as a high-class family. Gradually, he simply didn't even return home, and the brother-sister relationship between him and Lu was separated. It's getting lighter and lighter. The last time Lu Ze saw Lu Ze, it was still at Lu Pheasant's funeral, but he also came and left in a hurry.

"Second sister, now that the tyrannical Qin is about to fall, Liu Kan's life and death are unknown.

Loucang is in danger and in danger. I heard that Chen She's general Ge Ying. He led 5,000 people to defeat the old Qin soldiers and horses in Fuli, and joined forces with Zhu Jishi, and there were more than 10,000 people under his command. Now they are approaching the court, and it is only a matter of time before they converge with Qin Jia's subordinates. At that time, there will be tens of thousands of people under the command of Na Ge Ying. And the warehouse is located in Chudi, which will inevitably be attacked. ”

Ge Ying has already joined forces with Zhu Jishi?

When Lu heard the news, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

But soon. She stared at Lu Ze, and after a long silence, she suddenly asked, "Brother." Where do you know? ”

Lu Ze smiled slightly, "I won't tell you anything, I had a lot of dealings with Qin Jia who was worried about it earlier. Qin Jia was originally a big family, and his father also knew about this person. Qin Jia has now occupied the Worry and is waiting to join Ge Ying. In the next step, they will attack Loucang.

Sister, you have 2,000 cellars of grain and grass in your storehouse, which can supply a year's food for an army of 100,000.

And there are also 300 warehouses of heavy ordnance. Almost the entire Huaihan region is heavy with grain and grass. It's all concentrated here, how can people not be blushing?

I'm afraid you're in danger. Therefore, I said to Qin Jia, come and persuade you.

Liu's whereabouts are unknown. Most of them are dead...... And you're in your prime now. Why bother waiting for the Liu family? ”

"Big brother, shut up for me!"

The more Lu heard this, the more angry he became, he stood up with a snort, and said sharply: "If it weren't for seeing you as my brother, I wouldn't have spared your life." ”

Lu Ze did not panic at all, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Lu Wen and his wife: "Father, mother...... I'm all thinking about my second sister. ”

"Ah, don't be angry yet, sit down and talk slowly!"

Lu frowned, glanced at Lu Wen and his wife, and suddenly realized in his heart, and blurted out: "Father, mother, are you also ......?"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Lu Shizhi, who was sitting firmly at the door, as if he had closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Little piggy, is it possible that you think the same way?"

Lu Shizhi's face was expressionless and he opened his eyes. "Second sister, if Brother Kan lives, I will fight to the death with him. However, Brother Kan's whereabouts are unknown now, and I am afraid that he is more than lucky.

In fact, as early as last year, when I heard that the eldest son of Fusu was killed, I had a premonition that Brother Kan would inevitably be implicated. It's been more than half a year now, and there's no ...... Although the imperial court has not taken any measures, how do you know that it is not time to take care of it for a while? When the emperor sits down, it will certainly be against us. Although it is a way to go to Shu County, it is not the foundation of our Lu family after all.

When Brother Kan was here, Miss Barman was kind to us.

But if Brother Kan is gone, will Miss Man still treat us kindly? At that time, everything in the land to which this warehouse belongs will be swallowed up. ”

After all, the little pig has grown up, and when thinking about problems, he is more delicate than before.

Lu Wen and his wife on the side nodded again and again, and Lu Ze praised even more: "The little brother really has a vision, and when he sees problems, he thinks about them more clearly than me." ”

On the contrary, it was Lu Shizhi, when Lu Shizhi was speaking, now Lu Shizhi glanced at her.

She was stunned for a moment, looked at her parents, and then at Lu Ze, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while. When he raised his head and looked at Lu Shizhi again, Lu Shizhi had already finished speaking, and he closed his eyes again to recuperate, looking like an ancient well. In my heart, I couldn't help but sigh.

"The stakes are high, and I need to think carefully before making a decision."

Lu Wen and his wife also knew that it was unlikely that Lu would change his mind all of a sudden.

nodded at the moment, no longer talked about the matter, but pulled up the family routine and told the family affection. Mrs. Lu even remembered her daughter Lu Pheasant, with tears in her eyes......

It wasn't until the time was approaching that Lu returned home.

Before she could sit down, she saw Qi Ji's face full of tears, rushed into the room like the wind, knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried: "Please Madame make the decision for Xizi!" ”

Lu was stunned for a moment, "Xizi? What happened to Kiko? ”

Qi Ji cried: "When the little maid went to visit Xizi just now, now Xizi fell in a pool of blood, but one of her arms was cut off.

The little maid hurriedly called for help, and Kiko finally saved her life...... When he woke up, he said that Han Shin, who had been killed that day, tried to defect. As a result, he was poisoned. If it weren't for Xizi's life, I'm afraid that he would have lost his life...... Madam, please also make the decision for Kiko! ”

When Lu heard this, he sat still.

This man's heart has been scattered...... How?!
