Chapter 198: Situation and Potential
Lu Ming received Lu Xiuyuan's summons and learned that his son was engaged to Hua Rujin, which was expected, but he didn't expect it to be at this time.
He pondered for a long time in the study before he called his henchman Lu Cheng in, and asked hesitantly, "How is the investigation of Cheng Wei's assassination?" ”
Lu Cheng replied truthfully: "Master, as you expected, Madame has secretly raised a group of thugs on the Zhuangzi outside the city without telling you all these years, not long after the master went to Jiangxia City last year, the group of people on the Zhuangzi also silently left Jinling City, I checked the accounts of the house according to your instructions, but the silver spent by Zhuangzi at the end of last year was inexplicably more than usual, and I don't know where to go." ”
"Naturally, I made a bounty for those Assassins."
Lu Ming snorted coldly, secretly clenched his fist and slapped it heavily on the table: "This woman is really a honey-bellied sword, and she keeps saying that she wants to welcome Cheng Wei and his mother back for me, and she does these unworthy things behind my back." ”
Lu Cheng asked cautiously, "Then what is the master going to do with his wife next?" ”
Lu Ming's eyes sank: "Except for you and me, this matter must not be known to others." ”
After the words fell, he immediately ordered: "Cheng Wei is about to go to Mobei, I really don't worry about her mother staying in Jiangling City, especially my daughter-in-law who has not yet passed the door, I am afraid that King Yun will not be able to let her go, you let Xiuyuan install more people, don't let their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be harassed." ”
"Don't worry, master, Xiuyuan will definitely not live up to the master's trust."
Lu Cheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If you want to say that this Miss Hua is indeed a match for Childe, Xiuyuan has to praise Miss Hua every time she writes a letter, and now she knows that Childe is being sent to the border by someone and is willing to marry Childe, this friendship is really rare, in public and private, I will let Xiuyuan take care of Miss Hua's family." ”
"That girl is a good boy."
At this point, Lu Ming snorted disdainfully: "I just don't know if her old man can tell the right and wrong." ”
Evergreen Mansion
At dusk, Luo Chuhuai was sitting in the study, thinking about what had happened recently.
Although his long-cherished wish was not fulfilled during this trip to Gangneung City, he finally met two daughters, and one was smarter than the other, which made him very pleased.
After so many years of enjoying wealth and wealth, his heart has long been at peace, and in addition to wanting to keep this family business, the only thing he cares about is his two precious daughters.
It's understandable that the child is still young and unreasonable, but the stinky girl of Rujin has passed the age of peace, and she also regards herself as a confidant and enemy, which is really chilling.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh silently.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Qi Feng walk in and hand him a secret letter.
Luo Chuhuai opened the secret letter and looked at it, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.
Qi Feng guessed some clues and asked in a low voice, "General, but about the eldest lady?" ”
Luo Chuhuai sighed helplessly: "This stinky girl is really angry with her father before she is willing to give up, and she is engaged to Ye Chengwei at this time, isn't she clearly against King Fu and embarrassing me." ”
Qi Feng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.
Although the eldest lady has not yet had in-depth contact with this person, he is not a vexatious person, and the reason why he is so kind to the metropolitan governor is that anyone who knows the inside story can understand it.
He said pertinently: "The eldest lady is not a foolish person, the last general has only stayed in Jiangxia City for a short period of more than a month, and he knows a lot about the Zhuo family and King Fu, but I am afraid that sooner or later it will reach His Majesty's ears, and that Ye Chengwei is obviously not something that King Fu and King Yun can subdue, but the general has been doing his best for King Fu all these years, but King Fu has not discussed with the general in every detail, and I think the eldest lady also saw this and wanted to make a decision for the general." ”
Luo Chuhuai was already feeling cold about King Fu at the moment, and after listening to Qi Feng's words, he felt even more uncomfortable.
It was a last resort for him to destroy more than ten members of the Lu family, but in order to calculate Ye Chengwei, King Fu actually gambled with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers at the border and various dangerous fortresses, which is like the backbone that a royal child should have.
After thinking about it, he solemnly ordered: "Qi Feng, you have been following me to fight in the south and the north for some years, and many generals in the border pass are old acquaintances, this time the northern expedition I expect that King Fu will be unfavorable to my son-in-law, and in a few days His Majesty will discuss with me the candidate for the general of the expedition, I will guarantee you to be the deputy general of the northern expedition, you go to Mobei, and you will definitely truthfully transmit the information of the border pass back to Beijing, and there must be no concealment." ”
After a pause, he admonished in a deeper tone: "If it is a last resort, I must try to protect my son-in-law's life, and I must not let him make any mistakes." ”
"Please rest assured that the general will not be dishonored."
Qi Feng said in a sonorous and powerful tone.
Ye Chengwei originally planned to wait a few days for the mysterious person who delivered the account books to show up before setting off for the north, but in just ten days, several successive military orders flew to Jiangxia City, and he had to leave for Beijing on May 20.
Hua Rujin took Hua Youen, Hua Muyang and Cheng Nini to send him to the ten-mile pavilion outside the city, looking at the vast road ahead, her heart was full of reluctance.
Ye Chengwei led the horse and kept walking side by side with her, and his mood was also a little dignified.
It's just that time is pressing, and he has to be ruthless to leave her.
Just as he was about to get on the horse, he suddenly turned around, hugged Hua Rujin tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Ting'an has followed me since he was a child, and I will leave him in his hometown, if you have something, you can send him." ”
"I remember."
Hua Rujin leaned on his shoulder, quietly feeling the last warmth.
"Brother-in-law, you must come back early."
Hua Youen and Hua Muyang also surrounded the two of them, and said reluctantly.
"When the fighting in the north is settled, my brother-in-law will come back."
Ye Chengwei bent down and stroked the immature cheeks of the two little beans.
Hua Youen leaned in front of his ear with a wicked smile and muttered in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, in your absence, I will definitely take care of my sister for you." ”
Ye Chengwei glanced at the little girl with a slight smile, and then raised his eyes to look at Hua Rujin.
She made a family appointment with herself at this time, so that she had no worries at all, but she was worried that she would not be able to return triumphantly and disappoint her good intentions.
Gathering his thoughts, he stepped on the war horse, couldn't bear to look back at his beloved, drank lightly and galloped resolutely towards the official road.
Hua Rujin looked at the long figure on horseback and gradually disappeared into the depths of her eyes, and it took a long time to come to her senses.
Looking at Ting An and Lu Xiuyuan standing beside her, she immediately thought of something, and asked hesitantly, "Lu Dianshi, where is my cousin imprisoned now?" ”
