153. The war is over

Jiang Wumeng left, no one knew where he went, all the industries under his name were transferred to Lu Youzhen, and the information network all over the north and south of the river disappeared without a trace overnight, Su Wenhan couldn't trace any of his footprints, so he had no choice but to follow Lu Youzhen and them back to the capital.

Yes, Lu Youzhen and Su Xi finally turned around and returned to the capital, many of the industries left by Jiang Wumeng were in Beijing, after he transferred his henchmen, the remaining people were not enough to support the normal operation of these industries, and then Lu Youzhen would work hard for how to integrate and manage these industries, his first stop naturally chose the capital area that was closer and more important, and the rest of the places first sent his trusted shopkeeper to take over temporarily.

Several people still lived in Jiaoliu Lane, Lu Zhou learned that they were coming back, so he asked people to clean the room early in the morning, knowing that Xianglan Vanilla did not follow, and specially picked a little maid for Su Xi to serve.

As soon as the group entered the city gate, they were busy opening, the seven princes naturally wanted to return to the palace, Su Wenhai took the prisoners of war to return to Beijing to go to the palace to make a difference, Lu You really had to run for the newly obtained industry, only Su Xi and Su Wenhan were left two idlers staring at each other, and finally the two decided to find a place to drink tea before going back.

The two entered a teahouse at random, found an empty table in the lobby and sat down, ordered a good Longjing and two dishes of refreshments on the pot, drank tea and ate snacks, and then listened to the storyteller on the stage tell the thrilling excitement of the battle of Anping City in a subdued voice.

The war ended only ten days, Princess Xiaguang's heroic appearance on the battlefield has been compiled into a number of versions and circulated in the streets and alleys of the capital, the people are happy to listen to it, it is said that the owner of the cloth village next to the house for five days in a row to listen to the story, a sitting is a small half a day, the storyteller said what he knows next, but still yearn for it.

The eldest princess's popularity has reached its peak in Beijing, and she is not far behind the crown prince.

After listening to the one, Su Xi felt that he was still unsatisfied, and when he saw that it was still early, he simply refilled the pot of tea and continued to wait for the next one.

"Yo! It's such a coincidence that younger siblings also love to listen to stories? ”

As soon as he heard this, Su Xi knew who was coming, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was indeed Lu Lantian, he shook the big folding fan, sat on the edge of Su Xi unceremoniously, and poured himself a cup of tea, and he didn't see it at all.

"Who is this man? Are you familiar with it? Su Wenhan frowned and asked Su Xi, he looked at that person and didn't look like a serious person, he was afraid that Su Xi had really known some ghost man behind Lu You's back, of course he didn't doubt Su Xi, but he was very uneasy about this man.

"I'm not familiar with him, his brain is not very good, don't pay attention to him." Su Xi squinted at Lu Lantian and replied quietly.

Su Xi thought that he was speaking quietly, but it was very easy for a deaf and clear-sighted martial arts practitioner to hear clearly, Lu Lantian replied to Su Xi's aggrieved expression, and then said to Su Wenhan with a smile: "It's Second Brother Su, in Xia Lu Lantian, it's Lu Youzhen's cousin." ”

"Fortunately, I will be lucky," Su Wenhan said hello with a smile, and muttered to Su Xi in a low voice: "Cousin? It can't be the son of the Ningguo Mansion, right? ”

"Exactly, he is the son of the world."

"Shizi-" Su Wenhan almost shouted, quickly covered his mouth, and saw that Lu Lantian was concentrating on drinking tea and didn't seem to pay attention to him before continuing to mutter: "Didn't you say that Lu Youzhen's branch had a bad relationship with the Ningguo Mansion?" Why are you so familiar with their family? ”

"Who's ripe? I don't know each other, besides, who said that Lu Youzhen had a bad relationship with the Ningguo Mansion? Don't believe hearsay. ”

"So you have a good relationship with the Ningguo Mansion, but you are not familiar with their son??"

"It's not a good relationship, oops! I can't say a word or two, but I occasionally have some contacts, as for this Lu Lantian, he used to go to our place to eat, and he was not bad with Lu You, but I think he is too familiar with him, and his behavior is always weird, in short, just ignore him. ”

Su Wenhan nodded, he felt that Su Xi's judgment was very reasonable.

After the two of them muttered, they looked at Lu Lantian again, and he still drank tea and ate snacks, as if Su Xi and the others who didn't pay attention were whispering.

Before the story on the stage began, the silence on the table was a little weird, Su Xi thought about it and asked him: "The prince likes to listen to books?" ”

"This story is good, wouldn't it be nice to listen to it and pass the time, what do you say?"

"It's really good, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's sassy and heroic posture in protecting her family and defending the country is admirable."

"Defend the country?" Lu Lantian sneered, "What does that brother and sister think of the Northwest Army fighting to the death against traitors?" Many of them disappeared like this, and some of them did not even have their names, and the princess, because she was a princess, could make up stories about her deeds of fulfilling her responsibilities and pass them on through the ages? ”

Su Xi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. The officers and men of the Northwest Army suffered a lot for this battle, how many people can remember them? And this storyteller, if someone hadn't deliberately compiled and circulated this story, how could he make the eldest princess's exploits a household name within ten days.

The story on the stage was re-told, but Su Xi could no longer hear Fang Cai's blood boiling, and every word seemed to be a woven net, firmly netting the listener's heart.

Su Xi was in no mood to continue staying, and pulled his second brother back to Jiaoliu Lane, Lu Lantian still happily said that he wanted to continue listening, so Su Xi ignored him, but when he left, Lu Lantian asked Su Xi to prepare two more dishes in the evening, and he wanted to come to eat.

In addition to Lu Lantian, the seventh prince also slipped away to Jiaoliu Lane after entering the palace to hand over an errand, but the third son, Su Wenhai, was left in the palace by the emperor for dinner.

There are many people in Beijing who are deaf and quick-minded, and after getting the news, he sighed and deployed a plan on how to befriend Su Wenhai, so that he "bumped into" many colleagues on the way home from dinner, and invited him to drink with him by the way.

Su Wenhai knew that their thoughts would naturally not respond, so he refused all the way, and finally returned to Jiaoliu Lane.

Dinner had already been served in Jiaoliu Lane, but Su Xi missed the fish made by Lu Zhou, so Lu Zhou ordered someone to set up a stove and an iron frame in the yard to make grilled fish, and for a time the strong fragrance filled the entire alley.

"Lu Lantian! Don't touch this big one, it's for the third brother. Su Xi protected the fish and shouted to Su Wenhai, "Third brother, why did you come back, if you don't come back, the fish will be eaten by Lu Shizi." ”

"Hey," the third prince replied with a faint breath of being unapproachable, a few wisps of laugh lines crept up the corners of his eyes, he smelled the spicy smell of the yard, and even his pace sped up a lot, "It's here!" ”

He joined them and nibbled on the hot grilled fish, which made him sweat profusely, but he was extremely satisfied.

At this moment, he really came to his senses: the war was over.
