Ten years of Zhenguan, early spring, March.

Late at night, at the gates of the city.

A carriage slowly drove to the city gate, and the coachman took out the token and shook it at the city guard, who immediately became serious and let him go.

Li Mingyu in the car lifted the curtain and looked at it.

Then, she turned her head to Li Chengqian next to her and said:

"Big brother, just send it here."

"If you leave the city so late, your father shouldn't know about it, and it will be troublesome if he knows."

Li Chengqian sighed softly.

He had already told his father about this matter, and His Majesty Li Er didn't say it was good, nor did he say it bad, which was equivalent to acquiescing.

He whispered:

"This time, you go to Jiangnan and pass through Luoyang, whether it is by land or water, there are hundreds of cavalry secret agents secretly guarding you along the way, mainly to protect your safety."

"Father doesn't worry about you going so far."

"If Lu Heng changes his mind after arriving in Luoyang, you only need to shout in a no-man's place, and you can directly find the guards around you and ask them to send me a message."

"The most powerful thing near Luoyang is my uncle's house, if there is anything missing at that time, let Baiqi Si go to my uncle, he has now returned to Luoyang, and he should be at home at home."

"Don't grieve yourself, understand?"

Li Mingyu nodded silently.

She knew very well that her eldest brother did not approve of her going with Lu Heng. Even if the eldest brother first told her about it, his words were full of worry.

A princess who has never been far away is now going to Jiangnan incognito......

How outrageous this thing looks.

But that's what Lu Heng did!

"Big brother, don't worry about it, you know Lu Heng's personality better than me, he won't harm me."

Li Mingyu said softly:

"He also took his parents on a long trip this time, so he should be more careful."

"It's really not good, you can also find an opportunity to ask your father for a chance to go to Jiangnan on an errand, and come over to see us in the future."

"What's more, going to Jiangnan is just a helpless move, according to his temper, he won't stay there for too long and will have to go back to Chang'an to deal with the five surnames and seven wangs."

"Just put your mind at ease."

Not necessarily otherwise.

But judging from Lu Heng's temperament, it is ironclad to kill back to Chang'an at the first opportunity.

This fool is now not so reckless just because he has a family and eloquence.

Wait until the family is settled......

It is estimated that Chang'an will set off a bloody storm again!

Li Chengqian nodded:

"Okay, I'll go back to the palace first, the carriage will be left for you, and there will be a hundred horsemen outside to send me back."

"You...... Be careful. ”

Li Mingyu smiled and agreed:

"Big brother, don't worry."

………………

Out-of-town post station.

Lu Heng is making the final explanation to Zheng Yang, Wang Xuance and others.

He drew a drawing and handed it to the two of them.

"This is the process of making explosives packs, and the optimal ratio after the blending test, which you can improve in practice."

"Also, if you use a clay pot to pack this, add more sand and rusty iron pieces to it, so that the damage performance will be stronger."

After talking a lot, I explained the rest of the arrangements.

Lu Heng patted Wang Xuance on the shoulder and said:

"I know that you have a high heart, you were originally a scholar, but now you are going to the bitter cold land to pretend to be a horse bandit."

"But in any case, don't be rash."

"Your Majesty has written a secret letter and sent it to Shanzhou, where General Zuo Xiaowei is now in charge, after you go, if there is an accident, you will first find an opportunity to discuss with him."

"It's not advisable to act rashly."

In fact, this is the common sense of the soldiers, and there is no need to say much about it.

The reason why he wanted to talk about it was because he knew what Wang Xuance had done in history.

It is indeed fierce for one person to destroy a country, but this does not mean that he did it right. After the mission was looted and killed, he should have returned to Datang directly if he could escape and report the incident to Li Shimin.

At that time, Tubo had already fought and made peace with the Tang Dynasty, and was in the honeymoon period.

But judging from the current situation, His Majesty Li Er may never really relax his vigilance against Tubo.

To the south of Tibet is Ni Boro, and further south is Tianzhu.

Wang Xuance wiped out Zhongtianzhu in one go, and only the small country of Nibora was left in the south of Tubo, and there was no threat at all.

In this case, the best time to expand is simply the best time.

It is precisely because of this that the territory of Tubo was once expanded to an exaggerated extent, and even the size of the area under its actual control could directly compete with the Tang Dynasty!

It wasn't until he had a long talk with His Majesty Li Er that Lu Heng finally understood why Wang Xuance in history was not reused.

In the battle of Tianzhu, why did you send Tianzhu directly to Tubo's mouth!

After Wang Xuance heard Lu Heng's words, he was a little dazed.

He nodded:

"The priorities, the last general still knows, please rest assured."

"When you go to the border, you must do your best!"

Lu Heng's scalp was a little numb when he heard this.

Don't be afraid of anything.

I'm afraid that Wang Xuance will do his best!

But fortunately, now that he is doing his best, there is no big trouble, anyway, he is going to deal with Tubo, not Tianzhu.

If this guy directly beats Tubo with a ruthless blow, then His Majesty Li Er will probably laugh so much that he can't close his mouth, let alone punish him!

The corners of Lu Heng's mouth twitched:

"That's good, that's good."

"Remember, your first task is to use gunpowder to deter, so that the Tubo people think that the gunpowder of the Tang Dynasty has spread to the extent that the horse bandits have already been available."

"The second thing is to fight guerrilla warfare with them."

"Be careful!"

I've just finished explaining it here.

The little official of the post station entered the door and whispered to Lu Heng:

"Pony, your family and the princess have arrived at the door."

"Look at this ......"

Lu Heng patted his thigh, turned his head to Wang Xuance and Zheng Yang and said:

"Everyone is together, let's go, let's go together!"

The group walked out of the station.

On Wang and Zheng's side, a team of 100 people was dressed up as a caravan, meaning that they brought a few carriages and carts, and many boxes on them.

However, in order to avoid people's eyes and stars at the same time, the boxes are empty.

Outside the post station, Lu Tongren and Xiao's carriage were already waiting.

Xiao even ran to Li Mingyu's car next to him and began to chat with his daughter-in-law!

Both teams set off at the same time.

It's just that one team is heading to Shanzhou in the west, and the other team is heading east to Luoyang.

………………

Master Lu is worthy of being a wealthy businessman in Chang'an City, and he is well versed in the truth of not revealing his wealth when he goes out, so he didn't take a lot of luggage with him, but only brought a lot of silver taels and hid them in the box containing clothes.

According to him, as long as there is silver and copper coins, everything can be bought.

But if you bring too much luggage, you won't be able to run fast if you encounter a road robbery!

Lu Heng thought so.

Then he got into Li Mingyu's carriage.

"Why didn't you go to your in-laws and say hello first? It's rude. ”

Li Mingyu looked at Lu Heng who climbed up, and was a little disgusted:

"As soon as we met, they ran to me and drove my mother-in-law away...... What will they think of me in the future! ”

That's right.

When Lu Heng climbed up, Li Mingyu chatted happily with his mother-in-law Xiao.

As a result, as soon as he came, he went straight to the point and shouted at his mother to go back to the car with Lu Tongren.

Lu Heng didn't look embarrassed at all, and smiled:

"My own daughter-in-law, I haven't seen her for so long, can't my mother let me go first?"

"She likes you now, I think you are the two of them, I picked you up on the side of the road."

"Don't worry, it's just such a thing, my mother is not so stingy."

As he spoke, Lu Heng came to Li Mingyu's side and took his little hand.

Li Mingyu glanced at him, and in the night, her face turned red imperceptibly.

Although the two are married, Lu Heng has never done anything to her, she is still a yellow flower girl.

Take 10,000 steps back.

Even if they really have a round house, with Lu Heng's faceless and skinless appearance, Li Mingyu will still be shy.

She whispered:

"What do you want to do when you take me to Jiangnan with my parents-in-law?"

"Don't tell the lies of the family......"

"Although I don't know how many means you have, you must have the ability to protect yourself, and the family can't hurt you at all."

"Tell me honestly."

Lu Heng was stunned.

He didn't expect that the little daughter-in-law in the family was actually quite smart, and he guessed his mind at a glance.

"It's true to avoid the limelight, because I talked to my father, and after a while, he will announce the official reform of the imperial examination, and cancel the line papers and public recommendations."

"Once the matter gets out, sooner or later, the family will know that I brought it up, and I'm afraid they will go crazy."

"But that's just one of the reasons."

Lu Heng touched his wife's hand, bared his teeth and smiled:

"The main reason is that I still want to go on a honeymoon with you!"

"As soon as we got married, I was thrown into the camp in the western suburbs, where can people endure this? I can't bear it anyway. ”

"Take advantage of this opportunity, let's go directly to Jiangnan to live with him for a year and a half."

"I can still do a small business from time to time."

"Haven't you always wanted to walk around and see what you want to do to save people?"

"Anyway, you have also learned a lot of skills from Old Man Sun, and when the time comes, we will also open a small medical hall in Jiangnan, live in it, and maybe accept a few little apprentices to come over."

"If you like it, you can also teach them to read and break words, and I will continue to open a bookstore, and take this opportunity to train a few smart guys to enter the court."

"In the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, if you are tired of staying in the city, you can also go to live in the nearby mountains."

"My father and mother can do business anywhere, so you don't have to worry about them."

"Well, I'll make this arrangement!"

Looking at her husband's eyebrows, Li Mingyu was in a daze.

Lu Heng's arrangement......

To put it bluntly, it's completely tailor-made for her!
