The moon stars are scarce.

A hospitality dinner was held in the side hall of the Wuwei Hou Mansion.

The banquet prepared by Lu Ze was very simple.

And the lord of Nihuang County is also a military person, so he doesn't care about these things, this is four people sitting at the same table, and it seems very quiet when eating, only Wei Xuxuan occasionally asks Lu Ze about the western realm.

Wei Xima saw that the county lord really wanted the little prince to go to the western realm to have some training.

What's even more surprising is that Wu Weihou directly responded to the hot potato of his little prince.

At the dinner, Wei Xima wanted to speak several times and stopped.

Mu Qing himself didn't think it was such a big deal, and inquired with interest about the customs and customs of the western border of Daliang.

On the main seat, Lu Ze ate slowly: "The western border is not as good as Yunnan, there is only wind and sand over there, but then again, little prince, you haven't been to Ganzhou?" ”

Hearing Lu Ze's words, Mu Qing looked extremely puzzled and asked, "Why did Lu Hou say that?" Should I have been to Ganzhou? ”

The right hand of the Nihuang County Lord holding the chopsticks paused slightly.

Wei Xima's face also changed instantly.

This Marquis Lu... I seem to know a lot of things from the past.

Seeing this, Lu Ze smiled, but said bluntly: "Your Mu family used to have a relationship with a certain marshal mansion in Ganzhou. ”

Wei Xuxuan was shocked and said, "Master Hou, please be careful!" ”

At this time, even the Mu Wangfu, who cares most about the rules and etiquette, can't care about the rules.

The Nihuang County Lord's brows furrowed.

Wei Xuxuan immediately got up and bowed to Lu Ze on the main seat: "I am rude, and I hope that the Hou Ye will forgive me." ”

Lu Ze smiled: "It's okay. ”

The Nihuang County Lord put down his chopsticks and said softly: "Uncle Wei, you can wait for us outside first." ”

Wei Xima hurriedly retired.

Mu Qing didn't understand why the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird.

He is not very old, he spends most of his time in Yunnan Muwangfu, and he doesn't know much about it, and the Nihuang County Lord chooses to hide from this younger brother in some things.

"Mu Qing, you should also go out first."

"Lu Hou and I, I have something to say."

In the huge side hall, only Lu Ze and the Nihuang County Lord were left sitting opposite each other.

The candle flame in the hall flickered gently, reflecting the two pairs of young cheeks, Lu Ze carefully looked at the woman sitting opposite, the face of the Nihuang County Lord was not as white and tender as an ordinary girl in the boudoir, but it showed a certain indescribable perseverance.

She is not a peerless beauty.

But the temperament that shrouded her body made her extraordinarily noble.

This is a phoenix entrenched in Yunnan, which has made Nanchu dare not act rashly for more than ten years.

"Mu Qing is an adult, and he will soon be a knight."

"But he hasn't experienced a real bloody battle in the past ten years, I have too much aura on my body and too heavy, and he is in Yunnan, I can't bear to watch him fight, but I want Mu Qing to grow up quickly before he attacks the lord."

"It's not just about dealing with the enemy in the south, it's about learning to deal with the complex relationships behind it."

The palace of King Mu in Yunnan is entrenched in the south of Daliang to deter Southern Chu.

The 100,000 iron cavalry made His Majesty the Emperor in Jinling City feel very tricky, because the Mu Wangfu is different from the previous Lin Mansion, it is a feudal place that has existed since the establishment of the Great Liang, and it has been commanded by the Mu Wangqi for a hundred years.

Lu Ze asked, "Why do you want to hand over the little prince to Ben Hou?" ”

The Nihuang County Lord raised his head, looked at Lu Ze, and suddenly smiled: "Because Lu Hou is confident enough, good at the art of war, and... Hou Ye's face is very thick-skinned. ”

When he said this, the tone of the Nihuang County Lord was full of admiration.

Thick-skinned, in this context is a complete compliment.

Lu Ze shook his head: "What I'm asking is why the county lord believes me." ”

Nihuang blinked: "Didn't Lu Hou say it before?" We were soon a family. ”

Lu Ze laughed.

"It's just that Mu Qing's identity is special, I'm afraid that Your Majesty..."

The emperor wanted to choose a son-in-law for the lord of Nihuang County, but this county lord was too powerful and prestigious.

But after the border war stabilized, the old emperor began to worry again, and Mu Wangfu only knew the king's banner and did not know the emperor's order.

If Mu Qing really had some accidents, then I'm afraid that the Nihuang County Lord would not be able to marry in his life.

"Your Majesty, I have my own way."

"Leave my brother and ask Lu Hou."

......

Soon, Lu Ze knew what the Nihuang County Lord was talking about.

"Thick-skinned..."

"No wonder you praise me so much."

In the past few days, Mu Qing often appeared at the scene of the son-in-law selection conference.

Our little prince, commented on the weaknesses and shortcomings of the contestants from all countries in a very loud manner, which caused the faces of the people of the Dayu and Beiyan missions to be extremely ugly, and even the local people in Jinling did not look at Mu Qing.

"That little finch, I heard that you don't like me Liang Wuweihou?"

"Look at you, you look like that crooked melon and cracked dates, and when you come to my Daliang, I don't know how many children have frightened, right? No wonder you can't get used to the handsome Lu Hou, you are obviously jealous. ”

"You still want to marry my sister? It's completely like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. ”

Mu Qing's mouth was very poisonous.

Although he didn't bring half a dirty word when he was speaking, it was disgusting enough, yin and yang.

Golden Eagle Chai Ming's eyes breathed fire, and he couldn't wait to take the little prince Mu who owed his mouth to the ring and beat him up at this moment, the people of the Dayu mission did not go well after they came to Jinling, a few days ago, there was a fierce rival Bailiqi on the side of Beiyan, and the Dayu delegation was discussing countermeasures for the past few days, but I didn't expect Mu Qing to run out to do things at this time.

"Bastard boy!"

"If the Nihuang County Lord is in front, I still respect three points, you are a child of the Mu family who does not learn and has no skills, and you dare to look down on me?"

Golden Eagle Chai Ming devoted himself to joining the army in Dayu, because he was particularly unaccustomed to those pickled goods in Dayu, and wanted to become a great person like his father and ancestors with his own skills, and the ridicule and insult of a guy like Mu Qing was the most difficult for Golden Eagle Chai Ming to accept.

How can such a good thing be the younger brother of the world-famous Nihuang County Lord?

Mu Qing continued to output firepower: "Do you dare to compete with me on stage?" Lao Tzu will let you see what it means to be invincible! ”

Soon, the news that Mu Qing was injured by the people of the Dayu Mission spread throughout Kyoto.

When Lu Ze heard the news, he knew that this matter was definitely deliberately designed by the sisters and brothers, and Emperor Liang was furious after learning about it, and directly wanted to deprive Da Yu of his qualification in the final finals.

......

"Da Yu can be said to be bleeding a lot this time, why does the golden eagle Chai Ming have to get along with Mu Xiao Wangye, Mu Xiao Wang Ye is too, it is estimated that after thinking about coming to power, the people of Da Yu did not dare to do it, but they didn't expect to be hit by a punch."

Ningguo Marquis Mansion, Snow Lu.

Yan Yujin, the most lively son-in-law, found the home of his good brother Xiao Jingrui for the first time, and the two came to Xuelu together, talking about this interesting matter with Brother Su, Yan Yujin couldn't help but smile: "I heard that the little prince finally appeared in the style of flattening the sand and falling geese, and Dayu probably didn't expect that Mu Xiaowangye's martial arts were very poor, and he didn't even take a move." ”

Mei Changsu occasionally smiled and replied with a few words.

But there are layers of mystery in his heart, and now Mei Changsu, who is a conspirator, of course has a conspiracy vision when he sees everything, and this matter is obviously not as simple as it seems.

Xiao Jingrui also thinks the same way.

At this time, I only heard Xiao Dagongzi say: "Your Majesty originally wanted to directly deprive Dayu Golden Eagle Chai Ming of the qualification, but in the end he agreed, could it be that His Majesty wanted to let the people of Dayu solve that Bailiqi in Beiyan?" ”

Xiao Jingrui's mind turned quickly.

Even Mei Changsu couldn't help but turn his head.

This matter may really be solved in this way.

Yan Yujin said in a low voice: "I heard that the Nihuang County Lord beat up Mu Xiaowang again in the mansion and ordered him not to go out. ”

Mei Changsu frowned: "How did you know about the matter of King Mu's mansion, Yujin?" ”

"This matter has not spread in Jinling City, but people in all families know about it."

After Xiao Jingrui left with Yan Yujin, Xuelu regained his calm.

Feiliu sat cross-legged on the roof, Mei Changsu was roasting the fire in front of the stove, and it was only the beginning of autumn, and the snow house had already lit a fire.

"Nihuang..."

"What the hell are you trying to do..."

.......

The final round of the son-in-law selection conference will soon begin.

This final needs to select the strongest one in each group, and the ten people who form the final selection will participate in the literary examination, and the county lord's choice of son-in-law is to select the all-rounder of both civil and military affairs, but the county lord added a condition at the end, and the three people selected by the literary examination must compete with her.

In front of Yingfeng Tower, it is extremely lively.

His Majesty the Emperor reappeared, and the final ten winners were to drink the imperial wine, receive the golden flower reward, and take the literary examination after a three-day rest.

The final selection of the son-in-law meeting began soon.

Lu Ze easily defeated his opponent in successive rounds, and the opponent in the final election this time was an old Jianghu, with a calm step, firm eyes, a face full of wind and frost, temples bulging high on both sides, and both palms were thick calluses.

But it only lasted less than 30 rounds in Lu Ze's hands before he was shot down.

"Lu Hou's divine power is invincible."

The man arched his hand, calmly accepted the result, and frankly admitted defeat.

Lu Ze saw from a distance that Commander Meng sent someone to call the middle-aged man who had lost, presumably because of Commander Meng's temper and wanted to take him under his command.

The final selection of 10 people came out quickly.

The people of the Great Liang country occupy six of the seats.

Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui are among the six seats, the martial arts of these two brothers are not bad, but they can stand out and enter the top ten, which also has the organizer's 'dark box operation', which has a certain relationship with the fact that the opponents in the same group are not strong.

"Liao Tingjie of the Marquis of Zhongsu, Sima Lei, the son of Taiwei..."

"The martial arts of these two are even less satisfactory, but King Yu and the crown prince still elected both of them."

"It's really a black box operation!"

Many powerful people in Kyoto can see that the flames of party strife have burned to this son-in-law selection meeting.

His Majesty the Emperor had no opinion on this, and presumably acquiesced in this behavior.

After the end of the royal wine and flower ceremony, the prince and King Yu came to congratulate, and brought the two sons to Lu Ze, Lu Hou smiled at the two powerful children: "You two, the important thing is to participate, the Nihuang County Lord is a match made by this Hou." ”

As soon as these words came out, even the faces of the crown prince and King Yu changed slightly.

This Marquis Lu... Is it so conceited?

That night.

The East Palace and the Yuwang Mansion are all discussing countermeasures.

Qin Panruo, who was dressed in palace clothes, listened to King Yu's words, and she laughed softly: "Our young Marquis Lu is really domineering, and he is not afraid of that Bailiqi... It's just that the source of Lu Hou's confidence is based on his martial arts, or is it something else? A few days ago, I heard that the lord of Nihuang County had visited the Marquis of Wuwei. ”

King Yu instantly understood the meaning of the beautiful strategist in front of him.

His brows furrowed: "Praruo, what do you mean is that there may be a relationship between Wuwei Hou and Nihuang... No, the two of them are age apart, and they haven't known each other for long. ”

King Yu turned his head, looked at the map of the beams on the wall behind him, and sighed: "Yesterday, there was news from the mansion that Xia Dong had passed Fuzhou, and I am afraid that before the end of the son-in-law selection conference, the head of the Hanging Mirror Division will be able to rush back to Jinling." ”

Qin Panruo was very pessimistic about Qingguogong's case.

King Yu said in a deep voice: "Then find a way to make Xia Dong unable to return to Jinling." ”

"Wu Weihou's side?"

"That's it, although Liao Tingjie is the king's strength to push to the top ten, but to win the heart of the county lord, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult, so he will fulfill Lu Hou."

At the same time, the East Palace Prince's Mansion was also discussing the same thing.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want to offend Lu Ze, but the latter was not his person after all, in the East Palace Mansion, Ning Guohou was covered in a black robe, and Marquis Xie's mind was undoubtedly more ruthless: "Only what you grasp in your hands belongs to you, and letting Sima Lei marry the Nihuang County Lord is truly foolproof, how can you hope for Wuwei Hou?" ”

Thinking of the ruthless suggestion that Hou Ye Xie had just made, even the crown prince was hesitant.

Xie Yu said in a low voice: "Your Highness can enter the palace tomorrow and ask what the concubine means." ”

The prince was silent and nodded.

......

After the conference, there will be a three-day break.

Lu Ze found time to visit Liufu.

The Liu family of the Guogong Mansion has now been separated.

Now the leader of the Guogong Mansion is the Zhongshu Ling Liu Cheng, and Lu Ze visited his uncle's house.

Although her mother Liu Qiushuang didn't say it, she still didn't want Lu Ze to have too much trouble with the Liu family.

The location of the Liufu is very close to the Imperial Palace.

From this, we can see the status of the Liu family in the court.

Whether it is the prince or King Yu, they have not put their minds on the Liu family, one is that the Liu family has always been neutral, and the Chinese book makes Liu Cheng a representative of the mud, and the other is that the Liu family is completely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, if the Liu family is really wooed, then the emperor Lao Tzu is afraid that the next day he will have to talk to the prince with King Yu.

The Liufu is large, but the decoration style is quite quaint, with traces of rich years.

"Cousin, grandpa is in the main hall now, let me take my cousin over."

As the housekeeper led the way to the main courtyard, there was suddenly a young girl in Tsing Yi in front of Lu Ze.

Lu Ze looked at the other party with interest.

The one in front of him seems to be the one who was selected as the princess of Xiao Jingyan in the original book?
