"So, Zhen'er will be back soon?"

Mrs. Lu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and her face was filled with sadness and joy.

"This matter is said to be contempt for the law of the land, and there is no royal authority; At worst, it's just a child's play among teenagers, and it's harmless. There are mistakes in every side, so the emperor didn't bother to judge such trivial matters, and just reprimanded a few words. ”

Lu Yushi, who was sitting on the chair, poured a cup of tea for himself, and then drank it all, and finally disappeared a little tired on his face, and said softly.

"That's good news, but why does Fujun look a little bad?"

Mrs. Lu said with a slight worry.

"Southern Yunnan, it's time to make peace with the barbarians."

Lu Yushi paused, closed his eyes slightly, and his tone was a little sad.

"What? Do you want to make peace with the barbarians? ”

Mrs. Lu couldn't hide her surprise and gently covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

"The emperor was already a little wavering, but now the matter between Zhen'er and the grandson of the He family came out, which made him even more anxious and depressed. And the old man of Nahe Pavilion borrowed the help of my Lu family to fight bravely and be arrogant, which is a metaphor for the emperor's main battle because I love to fight fiercely. ”

Lu Yushi's tone was gloomy, and there was a look of grief in his eyes that could not be concealed. He continued: "And he also mentioned that although the battle with the barbarians in southern Yunnan last year was a great victory, the three sons of General Zhang Lao who were stationed there were all killed on the battlefield, and the border was even more mournful and devastating. Therefore, the emperor made up his mind to negotiate peace with southern Yunnan. ”

Seeing that Lu Yushi was worried, Mrs. Lu said slowly: "If my Dayan can really negotiate peace with that barbarian, it can be regarded as a fortunate thing. ”

Who knew that Lu Yushi frowned deeply when he heard this, and slowly shook his head.

"The barbarians grew up in the wilderness of southern Yunnan, drinking blood, and eating the weak. In the eyes of my Dayan, the act of peace is to treat each other with courtesy, showing the demeanor of a great country, but in the eyes of the barbarians, it is a complete show of weakness, and I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe. ”

Lu Yushi's eyes fell on the unknown point in front of him, and he sighed heavily.

It's just that I don't know if he is explaining to Mrs. Lu or telling himself.

…………

The prison was dim, and the faint sound of small beasts scurrying through the dry straw came from some hidden corner.

Lu Liu lay on the cold and hard bed, staring blankly at the gray cell roof, only to feel that the mattress under him could not stop the cold that came.

There was a small dim oil lamp on the table, but unfortunately there was only a little oil bottom left in it, and the faint flame was crumbling, and it was obvious that it was about to be extinguished in a few moments.

Suddenly there was a sound of keychains fiddling in the long dark corridors of the cell, and the sound of footsteps approached.

Lu Liu's eyes rolled slightly, but he didn't move, he just thought that the cell boss had come to patrol the prison again.

"Young Master Lu, someone is here to pick you up."

Unexpectedly, the footsteps stopped in front of his cell, and a slightly flattering male voice suddenly sounded in this silent space, making Lu Liu a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong.

Seeing that Lu Liu didn't move, the cell boss took the string of keys to unlock the lock, and continued to smile flatteringly: "My lord, get up quickly, don't let the lady and the young master wait outside." ”

Lu Liu sat up in a daze, watched the cell boss who came open the copper lock, tore off the iron chain, and walked towards himself sitting on the edge of the bed with a flattering smile on his face.

"Can I get out?"

The softness of the dry voice echoed in the dim cell, and Lu Liu was slightly startled, as if it didn't come out of his own mouth.

"Yes, yes, the hard master has suffered in prison for a few days."

The cell boss diligently helped Lu Liu up, and patted the dust on his knees that did not exist, and said with a smile.

Lu Liu didn't know how he got out of that dark cell, he only remembered that the passage was long and cold, and the faint smell of blood and rotting wood mixed with the tip of his nose.

However, after pushing open the door at the end of the passage, the sudden sunlight dazzled his eyes, and when he rubbed his eyes again, he saw his mother's familiar smiling face reflected in his eyes.

"Mother!"
