When Lu Yan returned to Jintaifang, it was already completely dark.

Luo Zhixing was lying on the big kang near the window in the west room humming a little song, when he heard the movement, he raised his eyelids slightly, and saw Lu Yan walking in with a tired face.

"What, what's wrong with that prince?"

Lu Yan ignored him, first went to the inner room to change out of his official uniform, and then sat opposite Luo Zhixing, and sighed lowly: "It's just that I'm looking for some clues and making a fuss." ”

Luo Zhixing was interested when he heard this, sat up straight, poured tea for Lu Yan, and asked, "Yo, didn't you say that the clue has been broken, why did you tell him to find something." ”

"It's not the crown prince, it's the king of Yan." Lu Yan raised his wrist and drank the tea, and then told Luo Zhixing about the things in the palace.

After Luo Zhixing heard this, his fingers rubbed his chin, and his face was full of interest: "This matter is too coincidental." ”

Lu Yan bowed: "It's indeed too coincidental." After he said that, he shook his head again, "Speaking of which, since you came back, I have entered the palace, and I haven't even had time to talk well, and I haven't had time to ask Senior Brother, why did you come back alone first?" ”

Luo Zhixing heard Lu Yan ask, and the smile on his face stiffened for a moment.

Lu Yan saw that he was wrong, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, didn't you do something to provoke Master again?" ”

"Look at what you said, I just think that I have been in Liaodong for too long, and I haven't seen the old people in the capital for many years, so I want to come back and take a look." Luo Zhixing laughed dryly, and continued in disguise, "Actually, Liaodong is far less lively now than it was a few years ago, Xu is the current Jin Khan is a conservative, and the Jin Ministry has not been here for two or three years. ”

Lu Yan also agreed with Luo Zhixing's words, at this time, Jin Khan Soto had just seized power, and his eldest son Wushan was only seventeen or eighteen years old. After a civil war, the gold ministry in recent years has indeed been very regular, obediently nesting in the interior of the grassland to recuperate.

But this wolf is a wolf after all, and when it has enough spirits, it will definitely go back and take a bite.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan shook his head slightly, and said with some disapproval: "The Jin Ministry is just recuperating now, and when they are completely stabilized, they will definitely come to harass my Da Chen." ”

Luo Zhixing raised his eyebrows and said: "I think it will be many years later, I have long persuaded my uncle to return this military power to the emperor as soon as possible, and return to the capital to raise flowers and grass, idle and comfortable, why suffer from the wind and sun over there." ”

Lu Yan thought of the death of Zhongyong Uncle in his previous life, and also sighed, and said with his chin bowed: "Actually, I also think so, the military power in Shibo's hands is too heavy, I am afraid that he has already provoked the emperor's jealousy, it is better to be like Dingguo Gong, although it seems to be a little rich, but after all, he can live a safe life." ”

Luo Zhixing sat up straight with excitement when he heard him say this, patted his thigh and said: "Look, look at it, I just said that our brothers have the most tacit understanding, when I said this to the old man, the old man actually beat me with a stick and scolded me for being a complete idiot, you see, even you, a notoriously smart person, say this, I think the old man has something to say." ”

Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Luo Zhixing's angry face: "You were beaten back to the capital by Master and his old man like this?" ”

Luo Zhixing was still angry and angry: "Otherwise, no one has listened to what I said, even Su Che's little rabbit cub has an unteachable expression when he sees me, where can I stay." ”

Lu Yan finally heard that something was wrong at this moment, he frowned slightly, and muttered as if talking to himself: "Although Master has always been strict with you, I always feel that Senior Brother, what you said is also reasonable, how could you make Master so unhappy." He frowned even more as he spoke, "Isn't there something in Liaodong that I don't know yet?" ”

Luo Zhixing listened to it, but his face was full of disapproval: "How can it be as complicated as you think, if you want me to see, they just think that the Su family has been loyal and good for generations, and the old uncle died on the battlefield in Liaodong, if the uncle just retreats back to the capital, wouldn't he be ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors." Luo Zhixing pursed his lips slightly, "These military generals are all such virtuous, and they regard military power as more important than life." ”

Lu Yan didn't speak, and pondered to himself.

He grew up in the uncle's mansion since he was a child, and although he had never seen the majesty of the old uncle, he still knew Su Zhen's personality very well.

Su Zhen is a very typical martial arts practitioner, he is not so arrogant, and he really wants to protect the safety of the people in Liaodong all the year round.

If he was unwilling to hand over the military power for the sake of such an idea, Lu Yan didn't believe it at all.

Could it be that there is something hidden in this that he doesn't know?

Luo Zhixing obviously didn't know what the person on the other side was thinking, so he only said again: "Actually, I really think about my uncle, it's not like the old man thinks that he is thinking about the prosperity of the capital, this leg is on my own body, if I want to go back to Beijing, won't they still be able to stop me." ”

Lu Yanwu was immersed in his own thoughts, but he didn't hear what Luo Zhixing said at all.

Luo Zhixing saw that he ignored him, so he lost the interest to continue, and muttered stupidly: "Anyway, I won't go back to Liaodong for a while, so I'll leave you here, if the old man writes to ask you, you will tell the truth." ”

Lu Yan replied vaguely, remembered something, and asked: "Now that this Liaodong border pass is still stable, has the horse market ever opened?" ”

The horse market is a market for trade between the border residents of Liaodong and the people of Jinbu, and in the earliest days, some people who raised horses in Jinbu secretly kept their horses in Dachen and sold them, and exchanged them for rice and grain to go back to support their families. Later, gradually, this market was not only for trading horses, but also for cloth and tea, which were scarce on the grassland, were all in demand in gold.

However, the market is still known as the horse market by the residents of the border pass.

In the past, due to the tension between the two Koreas, the horse market was closed for a long time, but now that the border has settled down again, I want to come to this horse market and open it again.

But to Lu Yan's surprise, Luo Zhixing shook his head slightly, and said: "There is a ban on the border now, and it is strictly trading with the people of the gold department, so this horse market has completely become a ghost market." ”

"Ghost City?" Lu Yan was puzzled.

"I only trade quietly in the middle of the night, what is it if it is not a ghost market."
