"Old acquaintances? How does he relate to you? Wang Shichong was surprised and delighted, but he didn't forget to ask cautiously.

Lu Chu touched his beard and said with a smile: "King Zheng, you can rest assured, I am a friend of life and death with him, once when he was in Luoyang, I was fortunate to save his life, otherwise how could he have today?" ”

"This time, he can follow Yang Guang to Luoyang, in Weichen's view, it is the embodiment of God's favor for Luoyang."

"No, he's here to repay you." Wang Shichong laughed, his eyes flashing with a deep light.

If you can find out the details of the Sui army, then whether it will be a war or not at that time can be decided.

After separating from Wang Shichong and the ministers, Lu Chu left the Luoyang Palace.

After returning to the house and thinking about it, he took out half of the moldy baked cake from the cabinet.

This baked cake was bought by him for an old acquaintance.

At that time, the old acquaintance only ate half of it, and the remaining half was returned to Lu Chu, saying that it was a token, and as long as Lu Chu took this half of the baked cake to him in the future, no matter what Lu Chu asked, he would not hesitate to complete it.

Now, Lu Chu doesn't want his life, and he doesn't want him to go to the sword mountain to the sea of fire for himself, he just needs to find out the details of the Sui army for himself, which is already a very simple request.

However, the most important question now is actually how to find this old acquaintance.

Although he knew that this old acquaintance was in the military camp of the Sui army, but as a courtier under Wang Shichong, under normal circumstances, even if he sent someone over, it would be difficult to contact the other party, so that when three days passed, he would be busy in vain.

After thinking about it, Lu Chu finally made up his mind to take this half of the baked cake and go to the border to find him in person.

Doing so was undoubtedly very dangerous for him.

But his personal safety, if compared with Luoyang, is nothing.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chu couldn't care about eating, and immediately rushed to the border non-stop.

Sitting in the carriage, he kept urging the groom to go quickly, and within half a day's effort, the military camp of the Sui army appeared in his sight, and as for the military camp of their Luoyang defenders, it had already been burned by the fire, and it was unbearable to see.

When he came to this place, Lu Chufang really felt the horror of the Sui army.

For a while, I was even more determined to find that old acquaintance.

It's just that around the Sui army camp, martial law is under constant control, even if you don't reveal your identity, it is difficult to get close, and even those people who pass by a few hundred meters away are closely monitored by the Sui army, and the Sui army will not turn around until they completely leave.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chu couldn't help but feel difficult.

"Lord Lu, time is pressing, why don't I fight this old life and break into the barracks, how about it?" The coachman volunteered.

Lu Chu glanced at him, although the coachman had pulled the carriage for him for several years and was loyal, but what he said at the moment was a little stupid, how could the relationship between him and that old acquaintance be easily exposed?

Even if the old acquaintance forcibly contacted him regardless of his safety after being exposed, I believe that the Sui army will quickly make a countermeasure. In the end, there is still no benefit.

So, after Lu Chu rejected the coachman's suggestion, he waited in place with some irritability, pacing back and forth, constantly thinking in his mind about how to successfully meet the other party.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was late at night.

Lu Chu didn't want to sleep at all, he still sat there, and what he didn't know was that he had been here for most of the day, and he had already been noticed by the sentries on the other side of the barracks.

Otherwise, if Lu Chu really makes any noise, they will be crowned with dereliction of duty. When the time comes, dozens of military sticks will come down, and no one will be able to bear it.

It's just that just as they were about to walk out of the barracks, they saw an adjutant general walking not far from their side.

This deputy general followed Sima Dejiao, named Wu Zhongliang, and when he got closer, the sentries hurriedly saluted him and said respectfully: "Vice General Wu." ”

"You're going out of the camp?" Wu Zhongliang looked at them and frowned: "Didn't Your Majesty have an order not to allow you to leave the barracks at will?" ”

The sentries hurriedly explained: "Back to Adjutant General Wu's words, we found that there was a carriage outside the camp that had been entrenched for a long time, and it refused to break into the barracks or leave, so we felt that something was wrong and wanted to go over and check it out." ”

"Oh? And such a weird thing? Vice General Wu glanced at the outside of the barracks, then stretched his waist and said: "I can't sleep at night, I want to come out to relax, since I have met, then I just happened to go over with you, and it should be an activity." ”

"Good!"

When the sentries saw that they had the opportunity to perform in front of the lieutenant, their eyes immediately lit up.

You must know that this kind of opportunity is very rare, and Wu Zhongliang himself is still a celebrity around Sima Dejiao, if he can enter his eyes, and finally say a few words in the ear of the generalissimo, then he must not immediately turn into a phoenix?

As he spoke, several people hurriedly followed Wu Zhongliang out of the barracks and walked towards the carriage.

At the same time, Lu Chu was still standing next to the carriage, in order not to attract the attention of the Sui army, he did not dare to light candles, making the surrounding environment extremely dim.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, the driver's uneasy voice came to his ears.

"Lord Lu, it's not good, there is a group of people from the Sui army camp who are walking towards us, will they have already discovered us?"

"Huh?" Lu Chu's face changed drastically, before he came, he had expected that such a situation might happen, but when it came, he still had a sense of incomparably danger.

If he falls into the hands of the Sui army, then everything will be over, and with his identity, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty will definitely make a big fuss and will not let him return to Luoyang alive.

"Withdraw!" Lu Chu's mind was in a hurry, and he hurriedly gave an order, and then entered the carriage.

And the coachman was not slow, and immediately raised his whip and beat the horse's back fiercely.

In normal times, the old horse is very obedient, and under the coachman's years of training, it can be said that he will do whatever he is asked to do. But now the incident happened suddenly, so that the old horse was frightened, neighed, not only did not turn forward, but kept spinning in place.

The anxious driver couldn't help but scold.

And their abnormal behavior soon attracted the attention of the Sui army in the distance, and even with the deputy general Wu Zhongliang, his eyes became sharp, and they all began to run wildly, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the side of the carriage and surrounded it entirely.
