"Oh, I see. Lu Zhan nodded, "It's just that I've heard that the situation in the capital is very chaotic, but I didn't expect the struggle for power at the pinnacle of power in this country to be so confusing and chaotic, and the source is still within the imperial family." Doesn't His Majesty the Emperor know about this?

"What is this...... Sima Dudu shook his head, "When the emperor was young, he personally went on an expedition to the sea frontier, but unfortunately he was seriously injured in a battle, although after years of recuperation, and with the assistance of a third-level healing elixir, after all, he left some extremely bad sequelae. In addition, he has been tormented by injuries and has been tormented by injuries all these years, and he has not asked much about state affairs. Most of the time, state affairs are jointly decided by the national teacher, the four princes, the eighth princes and others. As for the crown prince, he has more contact with the inner palace, and most of the eunuchs in the palace are controlled by him, so he knows the emperor's behavior and activities clearly, but other people don't know the emperor's true attitude. ”

Lu Zhan remembered the white fat man in a green brocade robe he bumped into at the Ghost Face Cliff, who was known as the person of the Four Princes at that time, and was quite interested in himself, and kept saying that he wanted to envelop him Lu Zhan. I think that guy is a liaison between the four princes and the external cooperation forces.

And the liaison of a royal family actually has business dealings with the anti-army leader like "General Duobao", which shows that the four princes have long lost the most basic conscience and responsibility.

Wu Ju saw Lu Zhan sitting there silent, thinking that he still didn't understand what was going on with the power dumping between the royal families, so he asked him bluntly: "Generally speaking, if a person wants to develop in his career, most of them will choose to go to the capital to fight for fame and fortune. However, after entering the capital, it is inevitable that he will be involved in open and secret battles between major forces. If the virtuous nephew went to the capital now, where would you choose?"

Lu Zhan looked at his eyes, and for a while he didn't know the intention of the townside marshal to say this, so he had to say in a tentative tone: "I don't know much about the major forces in the capital, so it's not good to judge immediately. ”

"Let's put it this way, and give you a choice. Sima Dudu, who was on the side, came over and said: "Although there are many forces in the capital, they are intertwined. But in general, there are only a few of the biggest forces: one is the prince's side, he controls the various forces in Gyeonggi and the inner courtyard of the palace, this prince himself does not have much ability, but he has the support of the national teacher. The martial arts attainments of the national teacher have reached the late stage of the Transformation Strength Realm, and he is the first person among the martial artists of my Great Chu, with his support, no matter how incompetent the prince is, he is also a force to be reckoned with; the second is the fourth prince, he controls the country's financial and diplomatic forces; the third is His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, he mainly controls the military affairs, especially the armies of all the towns and borders are under his jurisdiction. If you had to choose between these three forces, who would you choose to follow?"

Lu Zhan sat there, his chin propped on his hand and groaned. In fact, he already had a choice in his heart, their Lu Mansion has been operating in the capital for many years, and Lu Bufan's two sons are engaged in business in the capital. So Lu Bufan once talked to him about it, and the Lu Mansion has always taken refuge under the command of the Eighth Prince. What Lu Zhan is worried about now is that he doesn't know which side Sima Dudu and Wu Ju are on, if he tells them that Lu Fu is on the side of the Eighth Prince, but Sima Dudu and Wu Ju are on the side of another opposing prince, it will inevitably be unfavorable to his Lu Mansion.

Lu Zhan has traveled along the way, and after experiencing so many life-and-death struggles and cunning calculations, he has now learned to forbear and plan before acting.

So he said to Sima Xingge in a tentative tone: "Because I am not in that environment, it is difficult for the little nephew to make a conclusion on this, but please give my nephew a clear way." ”

This sentence obviously liked Sima Dudu's heart, and he smiled and said, "The old man immediately proposes that you follow His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." ”

When Lu Zhan heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Because His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is virtuous and loves the people, is stable and steady, and his surname is also resolute. ”

Governor Sima continued to add fuel and vinegar and said: "Virtuous nephew, think about it, the barbarians, the Yi tribe, the sea tribe and other foreign races, as well as the Great Sui Kingdom, the Sangyang Kingdom and other enemy countries continue to invade our Great Chu border, but they are always safe and sound, and the armies on the border of all towns can keep the border safe, why is this? This kind of character is the best choice for the real ruler of the country. Besides, you have reached the rank of a powerhouse in the martial arts, and once you join the army in the future, your future is limitless. Therefore, I suggest that you serve His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, with your talents, if you can help His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince achieve great things in the future, then you will be an excellent explanation for the people of the world and your personal future. ”

"Hehe, what you said is very true. Lu Zhan bowed and said: "It's a pity that even if the little nephew wants to defect to His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, people will not necessarily take care of it, after all, the little nephew is just a commoner now." ”

Sima Dadu Governor and Marshal Wu were waiting for Lu Zhan to say this, he raised his eyebrows, leaned his head close to Lu Zhan, and said with a smile: "If the virtuous nephew was recommended by my Sima Xingge, then it is another matter, I and His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince are friends of eight worships, the person I recommend, how can he not pay attention to it?"

Lu Zhan's eyes lit up, and his face showed joy: "Could it be that Sima Dudu really wants to recommend his little nephew to His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince to do things?"

"Yes, that's exactly what we mean. Sima Xingge glanced at Wu Ju, nodded again and again, and said, "Thank you Sima Dudu and Wu Shuai for your support." Lu Zhanzuo thanked.

Wu Ju sat on the side, twisting his beard with a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously he was also very satisfied with this arrangement. Because the commander-in-chief of the town is also one of the confidants of the Eighth Prince, if the Eighth Prince is in the current turbulent situation in the capital, and adds a young hero like Lu Zhan to help him, it would be a good thing.

"Nephew, please sit here for a moment, and the Governor of Pontus will write you a letter of recommendation. After Sima Dudu finished speaking, he walked out quickly.

Lu Zhan immediately sat in the hall and talked with Wu Jupan. Ju obviously liked Lu Zhan a lot, so he taught him some things that should be paid attention to after going to the capital, which people in the court are upright and can be trusted, which people are annihilators and must be guarded against, by the way, they also chatted about which places have good scenery and are worth playing, and which places have beautiful food and can be tasted. It seems that this Marshal Wu seems to be very nostalgic for the customs in the capital of Chu.

When the two were talking in high spirits, Sima Dudu came out with a letter in his hand and handed it to Lu Zhan and said, "You take this letter of recommendation to see His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." After reading the letter, he will definitely make proper arrangements for your nephew. This letter not only bears the official seal of my governor's office, but also a personal seal of mine. You can also use this letter as a Hongzhou official and military degree, along the way when encountering a post station, checkpoint or official interrogation, as long as you show this official military degree, I believe that no one dares to come to embarrass you, otherwise it is disobeying the military order, according to the law should be beheaded. ”

Lu Zhan took the letter and unfolded it, only to see that Sima Dudu had written an extremely enthusiastic letter of recommendation in small letters. Under the signature of the letter, there is a square of vermilion lacquer under the official seal of the governor's office, and there is also a rectangular red private seal next to it, and the seal is engraved with the ancient seal "Sima Xingge Seal", and these four ancient seal characters are actually shining with the clear light of fireflies.

Lu Zhan thanked Sima Dudu and put the letter of recommendation close to him. Next, Sima Xingge took care of him and took care of some details after he went to the capital.

That night, Lu Zhan stayed in the Dadu Governor's Mansion for dinner, the guests and hosts talked very happily, although Lu Zhan was a junior, but Sima Xingge and Wu Ju were both born in the army, their surnames were bold and informal, and the two of them put down their bodies and deliberately made friends, so they quickly became familiar with Lu Zhan.

These two powerhouses of the Transformation Realm had a good impression of Lu Zhan, so they took the initiative to teach him, a novice who had just advanced to the Transformation Strength Realm, some of the tricks on how to better inject the qi into the blade and control the blade with divine thoughts, how to protect the body with the qi and condense it into a qi hood for defense, and how to turn the strength into the void and control the qi to fly.

These methods are really valuable experience and experience for Lu Zhan. The three of them talked until late before they were happy, and Lu Zhan reluctantly left the Governor's Mansion and went back to the inn to make preparations for going to Beijing.

After Lu Zhan returned to the "Shimen Inn", he first wrote a letter to his family, in which he explained to Lu Bufan what he had encountered in the secret realm of the Black Evil Valley, and then mentioned that he had advanced to the realm of Huajin and was recommended by the Governor of Sima Dadu, and would go to the Eighth Prince to seek development.

After finishing writing, he handed over the book to Xi Liuzi, and asked him to leave for Lu Mansion immediately in the morning and hand over the letter to Lu Bufan. This Xi Liuzi originally wanted to go to Beijing with Lu Zhan to see and learn, but now that he received this errand, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, so he had to say with resentment: "Boss, when the sixth son returns to Yunmeng City to deliver the letter, he will come to the capital to find you." You old man, don't go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and Rouge Alley by yourself first. ”

Lu Zhan had no choice but to nod with a smile.

Finally he went back to his room, washed up, and prepared to rest.

He felt something touching his ankle, and when he looked down, he saw that it was the little thunder-winged snow tiger with its mouth open, biting his boot with its tender teeth.

He chuckled and bent down to pick up the little snow tiger, and gently patted him on the head a few times, when an annoyance came to his mind, that is, how to deal with the little snow tiger.

If Xi Liuzi was allowed to bring it back to Lu Mansion, he was worried about whether this little snow tiger would still be suitable to live in Lu Mansion once it grew up to be an adult evil beast, but if it was released into the wild, he was afraid that this snow tiger would be left in the world and become a vicious beast that hurt countless people. The best way to do this is to take it with you and train it to be a powerful arm for you in the future.

But if you really want to walk the world with a thunder-winged snow tiger at any time, I'm afraid it's a bit shocking.

When Lu Zhanzheng didn't know what to do with this little snow tiger, he suddenly thought of the small world in the dantian.

That Xintiandi is now more than 100 hectares in size, and it is a small natural world with hills, streams, and vegetation. But the only thing missing in this new world is living creatures.

Why don't you put this little snow tiger into the little world of the dantian? In this way, wouldn't it be convenient to carry it around with you?

Lu Zhan suddenly came up with such a whim: since it can grow plants in it, it should also be able to raise animals.

Thinking of this, he decided to give it a try.
