Xu Qian is here?

Zuo Si, one of the two major envoys of the Joint Investigation Department, and Xu Qianxu, who never seemed to ask about the affairs of the Buddha, actually condescended to his dignity today and took the initiative to come to the Changfeng Camp?

Lu Shen's eyebrows did not move, and he only nodded to the little colonel to indicate that he knew.

The little school coat and hat were stained with dew, and he had obviously been waiting by the door for a long time, so it could be seen that Xu Qian came very early, maybe he had arrived before dawn.

Lu Shen wanted to laugh inexplicably.

Over the years, the Foreign Affairs Department of the Joint Investigation Department has been in a mess, and its internal affairs have been torn apart by endless contradictions. The left and right envoys each led one unit, almost like an enemy, and all their energy was spent on how to defeat each other.

Over time, there is no longer a place for the Joint Investigation Division inside and outside the court, and the first division of the dynasty, which was once prosperous, is now useless.

Only at the three times a month, at the head of the horizontal shift, the two envoys of the Joint Investigation Department will sit side by side in peace.

But today, this old priest suddenly regained his former agility, as if he had suddenly woken up from his slumber.

That red carp sac, in the end, still touched the hearts of some people.

A smile gradually welled up in his throat, but in the end, it was indescribable bitterness.

With a deep breath, Lu Shen kicked off the horse and ordered the little colonel to lead the horse down, but he never went inside, but stood alone by the camp gate.

The gate of the Changfeng camp is very low and narrow, and when it looks up, it is the eaves, and when the gate is opened, it can only squeeze into a carriage.

There are many mountains and mountains, and the Changfeng Camp is not at all conspicuous in it, and only after entering the door will you know that this place is far more spacious than it seems.

Lu Shen stroked his sleeves, and turned the stone stele shadow wall made of bluestone in front of him, and a large school field appeared in front of him, paved with yellow sand, fenced, surrounded by high walls, and covered with thistles.

The morning light was faint, and those sharp and fine iron tools glowed with cold light, which made Lu Shen can't help but squint.

This school field was originally a forbidden middle horse garden, and there are subordinates on the left and near each side, all of which were rebuilt from the old palace building.

At that time, Emperor Taizu personally demarcated the boundaries of the territory, and it took ten years to build part of the Great Song Imperial Palace, which is the dozens of palaces that still exist today.

The part that was not completed was repaired little by little in the hands of Gaozong and Xiaozong, and finally fell into decline little by little in the hands of the remaining officials.

In the second year of the early Jing Dynasty, the Bianjing fire burned down many houses near the left side of the royal street. The court couldn't afford to renovate it, so the official family waved a big hand and carved out a large part of the imperial city, and the Changfeng Camp and other government officials moved here, and the palace area was reduced to less than half of what it used to be.

After years of foreign wars and famines, the treasury has been unable to support, and the official family has reduced the use of the palace a lot, although this move is helpless, but it has also reduced the burden on the treasury, and it has also won the praise of the Manchu Dynasty at that time.

However, in Lu Shen's view, if the only merit left for the king of a country is frugality, what good is thrift?

The bitterness in his throat gradually spread to the center of his eyebrows, and Lu Shen hooked the corners of his lips and laughed self-deprecatingly.

At this time, the school field was dusty and the figures were shaking, but it was a lot of soldiers who were out of the morning exercises, neat queues or running along the periphery of the school field, or exercising their bodies in the circle, everyone was sweating like rain, during which no one was left behind, no one was scattered, showing excellent discipline.

Looking closely, there are actually not many people on the field, only more than 100 people, which can give people the feeling of thousands of troops, and there is a kind of fierce and brave spirit that is rare in ordinary Song troops.

If it were usual, Lu Shen would join them in the exercise, but today he had no time to do this, so he only glanced at it from a distance, and then turned to a wide road in the west.

The lecture hall is the main hall of the Changfeng camp, and the door has been locked for many years, and it will only be opened for use at the beginning and end of the year.

Right now, the door of the martial arts hall is slightly open, and there are more than a dozen joint investigation department guards standing outside the door, all of whom are fierce and powerful, and some of them still have scars on their faces.

Seeing Lu Shen coming, they immediately surrounded him with unkind expressions, and some of them had already pressed their hands on the hilt of their knives.

Even if Lu Shen wore an official robe and a fish bag, there was a purple gold sword used by a high-ranking military official hanging from his waist.

"Let him in." Suddenly, a muffled voice came from inside the door.

Everyone immediately stepped aside, and Lu Shen stepped forward and bowed slightly outside the door: "Xiaguan has seen Xu Shiji." ”

The left division of the Joint Investigation Department is from the fifth grade, because he is a direct official of the official family, his position is not high, but Xu Qian's official position is the Tianzhang Pavilion servant, and the official residence is the fourth grade. According to the practice of the dynasty not to be high, Lu Shen called him "servant" to show respect.

Seeing Lu Shen saluting himself through the door, Xu Qian laughed and scolded inside: "Okay, you stinky boy, at this time, I will talk to Lao Tzu about the rules." Don't hurry up and get in! ”

Lu Shen pushed the door in as he said, but saw Xu Qian standing in the hall.

He did not wear an official robe today, only a casual dress, a wide robe with large sleeves, slow straps and light shoes, and his outfit was quite elegant.

It's a pity that he has a majestic body, a face full of horizontal meat, and there was still a bit of momentum in the past, but now he is pampered, his figure is a little fat, and the horizontal meat on his face has become shaky fat.

"Today, I took a day off, and there was nothing to do, so I came to see you." Xu Qian twisted his neatly trimmed beard under his chin, and looked at Lu Shen with a smile, with concern in his eyes:

"I haven't seen you in a few days, but you kid hasn't changed much. You've only been here since last year, and you've never been here since, and your aunt has been whispering in my ear, asking me to call your house to take a look. ”

It can be seen that he has a great relationship with Lu Shen, and when he speaks, his tone is cordial, and the eyes that look at Lu Shen are not so much like Shangguan looking at his subordinates, but rather as elders looking at his children and nephews, and the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it becomes.

"I also want to eat my aunt's baked cakes." Lu Shen was also smiling, and a little memory appeared on his face:

"I remember that my aunt always said that her back hurts, and the wolf skin mattress she gave a few years ago is old. I've only recently gotten a few good skins, and I'll send them over when they're ready, and I'll try my aunt's handiwork by the way. ”

"That's like a word." Xu Qian seemed to be very happy, the horizontal flesh on his face was squeezed together, and his eyes were almost gone.

He beckoned Lu Shen to come over, pulled him to sit in the chair, and the two of them pulled up the parents, as if Xu Qian came to the Changfeng camp in the morning, really just to take a look at the juniors, and then talk to them about the cold and temperature.

didn't say a word, and the topic somehow turned to Lu Shen's marriage, and Xu Qian joked with a smile:

"You don't say that you will find a little lady to start a family, and if you delay it like this, I'm afraid that the little lady will have to go crazy again."
