Lu Rui took the juniors of the Cao family and did not go directly to Xiangyang City, but went to Jiangling first, and purchased a lot of Jingzhou's specialties in Jiangling before going north to Jingzhou, all in order to confuse the defenders of Jingzhou, otherwise the merchants from the north would definitely be interrogated by the Jingzhou army.

"Brother Rui, we can no longer see that we are northerners in Jingzhou Army, right?" Cao Chong spoke to Lu Rui in a fluent Jingnan dialect. After staying in Jingnan for half a month, Cao Chong was already fluent in Jingnan's language. A gifted child is a gifted child!

"As long as we act realistically, there will be no problem." Lu Rui also spoke fluently in Jingnan dialect and talked to Cao Chong. Lu Rui was a native of southern Jingzhou in his previous life, and he learned ancient dialects very quickly. With this language in hand, the city gate of Jingzhou is easy to enter.

Three days later, Lu Rui and his entourage came to the outside of Xiangyang City, Jingzhou. At this time, the defense of Xiangyang was no longer so tight, especially for the merchants who came from the south, the censorship was no longer very strict. Cao Ang's army has been stationed in Fancheng and Xinye since Lu Rui left, and there has been no change, and the civil and military forces of Jingzhou have judged that the cavalry of Cao's army is insufficient, and Cao's army will not take the initiative to attack until after midwinter.

Outside Xiangyang City, under the auspices of Cai Mao, the northern defense line has been built, and two large villages have been built in the north gate from Fancheng, a naval army village and an army village, which form a triangle with Xiangyang City.

"Who's standing there?" As soon as Lu Rui and his party arrived at the south gate of Jingzhou, they were stopped by soldiers from Jingzhou.

"Official, official, we are a caravan from the north. Just from Changsha County, Jingnan. "Shia took a minot. Walked in front of the officers and soldiers.

"Merchant? Caravan? Hum. Could the caravans be just these people? Don't fool your officials with this money! A lieutenant suddenly walked over and slapped Shi A's hand, causing the silver ingot to fall to the ground.

"Official, official, listen to me, listen to me. We are indeed from the northern Yecheng caravan, these two are the sons of our family, and the caravan has returned to Yecheng. Our two sons have been touring in the south of Jingzhou for several months, and we don't want to celebrate the New Year, so we remembered returning to the north. "Shi A has followed Lu Rui for many days, and he is very sophisticated, this captain is just for show, so Shi Ah has to cooperate with the singing.

"Months of playing? You're not deceiving your own officials? The school captain looked at Lu Rui and Cao Chong, these two must have been born in a wealthy family, a silver ingot, and they wanted to solve this adult, they really didn't know how to lift! The lieutenant's fingers kept tapping in his palm. A very clear signal was sent.

"Anu, give them a mina mina for each of them. This official in charge gave a gold ingot! Lu Rui instructed Shi A in the standard Jingchu dialect.

"Hey! I've been in Jingnan for a long time, and I actually have Jingnan's accent! Lu Rui patted his head and shook his head.

"Brother! I was hungry and went into the city to eat. Cao Chong also pushed Lu Rui in the standard Jingchu dialect and asked Lu Rui to enter the city quickly.

"It seems that this son is still acquainted, since this is the case, the captain of this school will not stop him." The captain laughed and pointed with his finger, Shi A hurriedly sent gold and silver, and the captain and the soldiers guarding the door took the silver and let Lu Rui and his party pass.

"You're going to keep up with the group and see where they land?" Above the city tower, a scribe was observing Lu Rui and his party under the city tower, and ordered the captain next to him to follow Lu Rui.

"Xenomorph? You think there's something unusual about them, but I don't see anything? The lieutenant scratched his head, Lu Rui and his party were dressed up as children of a family, and Lu Rui and Cao Chong's Jingchu dialect did a good job of covering them up, if they hadn't stayed in southern Jingzhou for a long time, why would the dialect be so fluent?

What the captain beside the scribe thought was also what the guard captain thought.

"Humph! Brother Pang, do you know why I am here for so many days? ”

"Why?"

"In order to save Jingzhou from military disasters, the court can be stable!"

"And the group just now?"

"That group of people might be the ones I'm waiting for."

"Brother Pang, I'm sorry for you to send this letter to the young man in the lead!"

"Okay, since Brother Xenodu has doubts, I'll go for a trip that season." The lieutenant arched his hand and went down the tower.

"Brother Rui, it seems that there are no talented people in Jingzhou, and we came in so smoothly." As soon as he arrived at the inn and settled down, Cao Chong joked with Lu Rui.

"Brother Chong, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, it's easy to enter the city, but it's not so easy to complete the mission." Lu Rui rolled his eyes, how to rebel against Jingzhou's civil and military affairs is the key, and it is not so easy to talk about rebellion.

"Childe, someone sent a letter!" Suddenly, Shi A walked in and handed a letter to Lu Rui.

"Letters?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, what kind of letter, could it be that he was found out when he entered the city?

Lu Rui opened the letter, only to see a manger painted on the big silk cloth, next to the manger is a straight river, and there are some beautiful flowers and small trees as decorations.

The letter is quite poetic, but this silk cloth surprised Lu Rui and others, and someone has already seen the identity of Lu Rui and others?

Lu Rui held the silk cloth, his eyes kept swinging back and forth on the table, and his mind began to spin rapidly, thinking about every detail of his journey from entering the city to moving in.

"Shia, give this letter to the person who sent it." Lu Rui thought about it for a while, and also drew a picture of a poet enjoying the moon with a pen and handed it to Shi A.

"Yes, Childe!" Shi Ah took the silk cloth that had just been dried by the fire, arched his hand, and withdrew.

When Lu Rui received the silk cloth, he was shocked at first, and then quickly calmed down. This person obviously suspected his identity, but he did not stop himself under the city gate, which means that this person does not want to reveal his identity at the moment, so this person may be a person from the pro-Cao faction.

Now he sent this silk cloth, obviously to tell Lu Rui to see details, since this is the case, Lu Rui is not ambiguous, directly painting to painting, tonight to meet this mysterious person.

The juniors of the Cao family in the room, except for Cao Zhang, who was confused, the rest of the people understood Lu Rui's intentions.

"Brother Rui, aren't you afraid that Liu Biao's spies are testing us?" After Shi A left, Cao Pi began to express the doubts in his heart, although he can't get out of the city now, but Lu Rui is about to expose himself so soon, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.

"Second brother, you are wrong, if it is Liu Biao's people, what is the difference between arresting us in the city tower and here?" Cao Chong picked up the Lingnan fruit on the table and took a sip of it leisurely, Cao Chong was not worried about his situation with Lu Rui at all now.

"Yes!" Cao Pi nodded, Cao Chong is really talented and intelligent, no wonder Cao Cao can't look down on the sons of the Cao family, he and Cao Chong, no matter how hard Cao Zhang works, he is not as favored as Cao Chong, this is the hard injury of intelligence, he is young and lacks experience, but this Cao Chong has no impact at all.

Pang Ji, who was outside the inn, received Lu Rui's reply, and was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Kuai Yue to really be right, this group of people is weird.

Pang Ji didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Kuai Yue, and at the same time sent henchmen to secretly investigate around the inn in case of accidents.

"Childe, the messenger has replied, and the master's family will come to see Childe tonight!" Shi A returned to Lu Rui's room, arched his hand, and returned to Lu Rui.

"Well, I know, go down and tell the brethren to eat and drink well, so that there will be no vigil tonight."

"No!"

"Brother Rui, should we also order some delicious food, anyway, there is no pastime at night." As soon as Cao Chong heard Lu Rui's words, he understood that he could be a little presumptuous tonight, and the food in Jingzhou could make Cao Chong salivate.

"Alright, just do as you say!" Lu Rui smiled slightly, you have to relax when you work, anyway, it's not yourself who is most worried about your safety tonight, but the person who wants to meet you.

"Brother Rui, you say, who in Jingzhou has a heart for his father?" Cao Chong saw that Lu Rui gave an order, and he spoke casually, and there was no need for red tape to speak between brothers!

"Guess what?" Lu Rui touched his chin, who is interested in Cao Cao, this Lu Rui is not sure, because there are many famous people who have taken refuge in the north in Jingzhou, and there are not a few who have a good relationship with Cao Cao, who has a heart to Cao Cao, there is no evidence of a real step, and Lu Rui does not dare to say nonsense.

"Brother Rui, I think it's Uncle Cai, don't you know, when Grandpa took you out, Uncle Cai also came to our house to patrol with my father!" Cao Zhang blinked his eyes and smiled ghostly, these things are Cao Cao's ugly things, and Cao Zhang doesn't have much to say.

Xun Ye naturally went to look for flowers and ask Liu, Cao Cao is a wife Cao, but this wife is a bit interesting, a wife who can't look down on, Cao Cao is very generous, often introduced to friends of the family, Yuan Shao and Xu You are Cao Cao's dog friends, Cai Mao is Cao Cao's wife and friend!

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" Cao Pi immediately scolded Cao Zhang, and at this time, his majesty as the brother of the second son of the Cao family was revealed.

"Second brother, who is my father, everyone understands that my mother has a good temperament, if my mother knows, hehe!" Cao Zhang came out without restraints, and his speech was presumptuous, Cao Cao and Cai Mao went to look for flowers and ask Liu, of course, they were hiding from Ding Laohu, otherwise the Cao family would have a big problem.

"Humph!" Lu Rui just smiled slightly, listening to the Cao family's sons arguing. It's just that although Cai Mao is the official with the best relationship between Jingzhou and Cao Cao, Cai Mao is not a soft persimmon, otherwise Zhou Yu would not be so jealous of him, and Cai Mao is the main battle faction in Liu Biao's army, and now that the cavalry of Cao's army is paralyzed, Cai Mao will never surrender without a fight.

Cai Mao refuses to surrender, so he is a person in the civil official system of Jingzhou, is it Kuai Yue or Kuai Liang? Or other ministers? This is not easy to calculate, after all, these people are basically from the Cao faction, and many of them are still important ministers of Cao Wei. In any case, the first step of Lu Rui's trip to Jingzhou was a victory. (To be continued......)
