The ancients said that they did not ask for themselves, and they regarded them as thieves.

Since the Huns don't talk about rules, why should Nanzhao talk to them about any rules?

That being said, however, how exactly this works requires careful planning.

Emperor Hui meant that Lu Zheng's plan was feasible, but he had to find a way to minimize the impact on Nanzhao.

The implication is that we must not provoke a war because of this.

This is actually difficult for some strong people, but Lu Zheng readily agreed.

Afterwards, the prince asked Lu Zheng why he responded so happily, and Lu Zheng only said one sentence to the prince, a war with the Huns was inevitable.

After hearing this, the prince understood.

In fact, the crown prince also believed that a major war with the Xiongnu was inevitable.

In this case, Emperor Hui's request to try not to provoke a war between the two countries is a bit ridiculous.

Sooner or later, we have to fight, why don't we take advantage of the time when the Xiongnu envoys come to Nanzhao for peace talks, take back the cold iron ore deposits, and build weapons against the heavy arrows of the Xiongnu, do you have to wait for the Xiongnu to calm the civil strife and settle the internal strife, turn around and bite Nanzhao again?

The crown prince is not Emperor Hui, he is not tired of war like Emperor Hui, and he expects peace and is precious.

Under the condition that it is obviously impossible to do it and be precious, how can you still fall for the Huns?

And the reason why Lu Zheng agreed to Emperor Hui so happily was also because he expected the situation in the northwest.

Once the northwest starts, Emperor Hui must send Lu Zheng no matter what, and when the time comes, will it cause a war, and what can it do?

Even if Emperor Hui wants to use this to find trouble with Lu Zheng afterwards, will the prince sit idly by?

This time he went south for disaster relief, and what the prince reaped was not just Emperor Hui's reward.

Connections, prestige, these are what the prince values most.

When the power in his hands is enough to compete with Emperor Hui, how can he be afraid of the eldest prince?

At that time, it will be no problem to support Lu Zheng.

Of course, the prince didn't tell anyone about these things, and even his most trusted confidants didn't know what the prince thought.

There are some things that can be said to subordinates, but there are some things that must never be said.

After Lu Zheng left the palace, he went directly back to the Protector's Mansion.

The Wei family and the Lin family had been waiting for him in the mansion for a long time, and the Lin family sent several groups of people one after another to inquire about Lu Zheng's whereabouts.

Near noon, the porter ran in to deliver a letter saying that Lu Zheng was coming back soon.

When Wei and Lin heard this, they couldn't help but get up from their chairs.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Zheng entered the gate of the Protector's Mansion.

I didn't have time to change my clothes, so I went to see Wei and Lin first.

As soon as they met, Wei and Lin couldn't help but have red eyes.

Compared with before going south, Lu Zheng has lost a lot of weight, but he looks in good spirits, and his black eyes are shining with a cold light.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Wei turned over and over again, and all he said was this sentence.

The men of the Lu family died one after another, and the older the Wei family gets, the more they can't afford the same bad news.

The Wei family had already ordered someone to prepare an afternoon meal, so Lu Zheng and the Lin family stayed in the Wei family's courtyard and accompanied the old lady to have lunch before going back.

The big room and the third room didn't move, but there was a dust washing banquet at night, which could always be seen.

No matter what is going on behind the scenes, this time, no one dares not to show up.

There is no other reason, the Wei family has sent someone to the big room to tell the Zheng family in private, and they must all attend the dust washing banquet tonight.

Zheng didn't know how the Lin family reacted when she received this news, she only had her baby son and An Sheng in her eyes now.

In front of Wei, it was inconvenient to ask some words, but now it was only himself and his son, so Lin asked, "How is An Sheng?" Mother heard the news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that An Sheng went to the temple with Master Puyun? ”

Lu Zheng snorted, nodded and replied: "Her identity is inconvenient, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already arranged it, wait until night, and then send her back to the house, she has nothing serious, but she has lost a lot of weight." ”

"This kid is really hard for her." Lin said, tears tending to fall again.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng hurriedly said: "Mother, I want to go up the mountain." ”

Of course, the Lin family understands what his son wants to do on the mountain, but at this time, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go up the mountain, right?

"What should others think of you going up like this? What if you have the heart to investigate and involve An Sheng? ”

When Lu Zheng heard this, he was silent again.

Yes, he forgot that the reason why An Sheng followed Master Puyun up the mountain was to hide people's eyes, and now that he suddenly went up the mountain, it was indeed easy to arouse suspicion.

But if he doesn't go up, he ...... again

When Lu Zheng was in trouble, Lin said: "My mother will go up for you first, it just so happens that my mother also remembers An Sheng, and when my mother goes up, she will say that you will come back safely, go and repay your wishes, and then thank Master Puyun, no one can say anything." ”

The more Lin thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good, so he clapped his hands and said, "That's it." ”

After that, he asked Fudong to arrange and go to Hongji Temple to make a vow.

Lu Zheng looked at Lin's, thought for a while, and asked, "That mother brought a letter for me, okay?" ”

"You stinky boy!" Lin smiled at his son, but did not refuse.

This is agreed, Lu Zheng immediately borrowed Lin's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, picked up the pen and wrote a sentence, folded it and packed it, and then solemnly handed it to Lin.

Lin was so annoyed by his son's move that he couldn't laugh or cry, but he still accepted the letter.

Half an hour later, the Lin family left for Hongji Temple, and Lu Zheng also returned to his courtyard.

After another half an hour, Lu Zheng's handwritten letter was handed over to An Sheng.

Lin didn't know what was written in his son's letter, but he always felt that he could guess a rough idea.

I thought that An Sheng would have some obvious reactions after reading the letter and confirm his guess.

How did Cheng think, after An Sheng read the letter, his expression did not change at all, that is, the strength of folding the letter again seemed to be a little bigger?

But no one else knows about this except herself.

Lu Zheng's letter was written very shortly, and there were only four words on the entire letterhead, which was written exactly: Go home and wait for me.

Wait for him at home?

The corners of An Sheng's mouth twitched silently, which meant that after she went back, she had to keep the door for this person so that he could climb the wall and come over, right?

An Sheng felt that he should not have misunderstood what General Lu meant.

After all, General Lu is already very skilled at climbing walls or something.

Climb without pressure every time.

The guarding ability of the guards of the Yongning Marquis Mansion is probably not worth mentioning in the eyes of General Lu......

The Lin family didn't stay on the mountain for long, but after meeting An Sheng and Master Puyun, after talking for a while, he took people down the mountain.

There was a dust washing banquet in the house in the evening, although everything that should have been arranged was arranged, but she had to go back to the town.

Beware of the moths on the other side of the big house, it's not just the Wei family.
