Although the Lu family did not buy a house in Taixing Fucheng, Lu Shen and his party did not have to stay in an inn or post house.

After the shopkeeper of the Lu family's head office here learned the news, he immediately cleaned up a few sets of courtyards and respectfully invited the old man and the young master over.

Huang Xianfeng did not follow, he said to Lu Shen and stayed in the Assassin's Mansion to negotiate on his behalf.

Although Lu Shen's attitude is very simple, Yao Chong's opinion on this matter is very important, and sometimes the pen of a literati is not necessarily inferior to the sword of a martial artist, so Huang Xianfeng wants to try his best to minimize the impact of this matter on behalf of Xiao Wangzhi.

As for Su Yunqing, the warp weaving department Huaizhou inspection school, he saw with his own eyes that Ji Ximing was killed by Lu Shen's punch, and the next cadre of the warp weaving department was uneasy, so he could only helplessly help Lu Shen clean up this mess.

In the house behind the main store of the Lu family's business, Lu Shen sent Lu Tong, who had not closed his eyes for a few days, to wash and rest, and personally sent Li Bingxue to the small courtyard where she was temporarily staying, and then turned around and came to the main hall of the back house.

There are already three people standing here, from left to right, Jiang Sheng, Tan Zheng and Qu Zhong.

After Lu Shen walked in, they all lowered their heads in unison, like children who had made a mistake.

Tan Zheng saw that Lu Shen sat down without saying a word and looked depressed, so he bowed down and said: "The villain failed to protect the master with due diligence, please punish the young master!" ”

The other two hurriedly followed.

Lu Shen raised his eyes to look at them, and said slowly: "It stands to reason that the person who attacked my father this time is a senior official of the Warp Weaving Department, and there is also Huaizhou Thorn Shi to help, this level of opponent really shouldn't blame you, but I'm still very disappointed." Over the past year, I've put the entire guard in the hands of the three of you, but the end result is that you don't react at all when it comes to the unexpected. ”

The three of them couldn't help but hang their heads lower.

Lu Shen continued: "My father was invited to the Assassin's Mansion, and I don't blame you for this matter, after all, no one knows what Yao Assassin wants to do. But what have you done since he was detained in the Assassin's Mansion for so many days? If I hadn't received the news that I had returned from the frontier, were you going to keep him locked up? Or are you guys going to break into the Shi Mansion and rescue him? ”

He didn't reprimand loudly, and his tone was relatively calm, but such an attitude made Tan Zheng and the others even more ashamed.

Tan Zheng said ashamedly: "The young master taught a lesson. ”

Lu Shen took a sip of the teacup, and said with a solemn expression: "Even if you can't contact me for the time being, you should mobilize all your forces to save yourself as much as possible." Our Lu family has been deeply cultivated in Huaizhou for many years, and both the government and the people have enough contacts. After my father is imprisoned in the Assassin's Mansion, you can go to those officials and squires for help, whether it is a temptation or a threat, in short, let them put enough pressure on the Assassin's Mansion. That's the right way to solve the problem, have you done it? ”

Tan Zheng and the others lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, and at the same time knelt on one knee, almost embarrassed.

"Get up, this is the first time you've encountered this situation, and I'm not going to be too harsh."

Lu Shen slowed down his tone slightly, and after they got up, he said: "From today onwards, except for my father's personal guard force, the others are divided into three groups, one of which is responsible for the peripheral protection of my father and the family, and Jiang Sheng is fully responsible. Another group of people must be loyal and reliable, imitating the operating regulations of the Warp Weaving Department to find out the news, and at present, some hidden piles are temporarily set up in Yongjia and Heluocheng, and this matter is in the hands of Qu Zhong. ”

"Yes, young master."

The two of them responded with solemn expressions.

Lu Shen looked at Tan Zheng and said slowly: "The third batch of people is trained by you personally, not the number of people, but they must be elite enough." In the future, these people may have to carry out some assassination or assassination missions, do you understand? ”

Tan Zheng's heart sank, although Lu Shen did not mention the current situation, he had a strong sense of crisis, and immediately bowed and said: "Please rest assured, young master, the villain must go all out." ”

Lu Shen bowed slightly: "Okay, let's go and do things." Remembering the lesson of this time, I don't expect it to happen a second time in the future. ”

"Yes, young master!"

The three responded in unison, then saluted and left.

Lu Shen propped his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought.

Perhaps in the eyes of Tan Zheng and others, Lu Shen's previous punch in front of the Assassin's Mansion made Ji Ximing's life worse than death enough to relieve his anger, but at this moment, there was no arrogance in his eyes, but a thick worry.

Nothing to say for a night.

The next morning, Lu Tong, who had slept soundly all night, was in a much better spirit, and he still had the usual modest smile on his face, as if he was not affected by that incident at all.

"At the beginning, Captain Li led the troops to help Guangling, which can be described as heroic and not weak, but unfortunately I was not in Guangling at that time and did not have the opportunity to meet. When I saw it yesterday, I knew that there was no vain under the fame, and Li Duwei was indeed a heroine. ”

In the main hall, Lu Tong looked at Li Bingxue kindly and praised with a smile.

Li Bingxue's eyes were bright, and she smiled lightly: "Uncle Lu praises falsely, and the younger generation is ashamed." ”

Lu Shen interjected at the right time: "Father, this time our army won a great victory in Lei Ze and annihilated more than 20,000 people of the main force of the Jing Army, thanks to the six thousand elite cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion led by Miss Li to come to support. Otherwise, our army may fall short. ”

Lu Tongdeng's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Amazing, Li Duwei is worthy of being a family student, and he has the style of a father." ”

Li Bingxue glanced at Lu Shen with a smile, and at the same time replied unhurriedly: "Uncle Lu, the first credit for Lei Ze's great victory belongs to Governor Xiao and Captain Lu, which is the framework for them to jointly determine the strategy, and my father is only cooperating with the action on the battlefield on the Western Front, and the younger generation does not dare to take credit." Regardless of whether the Feiyu Battalion arrived at the battlefield or not, the younger generation believed that the officers and men of all departments of the Huaizhou Army could achieve the final victory. ”

The smile on Lu Tong's face became more and more gentle, and he said kindly: "Although Lu Shen has some merits, after all, it is not as good as you who have served in the army for many years, and you are slightly inferior in all aspects. I'm just a white businessman, and I don't help him much in his future, and I hope that Lieutenant Li will often remind him if conditions permit. ”

"In fact, some time ago, after the end of the war, the juniors and Lu Duwei often discussed some military issues, and both benefited each other a lot."

Li Bingxue coped with it easily in front of the elders, and was not as straightforward as Lu Shen remembered.

Merely......

There was a strange look in Lu Shen's eyes, why did the words of this old and young man gradually sound a little strange?

Lu Tong was unconscious, still looking at Li Bingxue and said, "Captain Li, please forgive me for being presumptuous, you should be a little younger than Lu Shen, right?" ”

"Ahem."

Lu Shen, who had just picked up the teacup, couldn't help coughing, fortunately he didn't drink the tea into his mouth, otherwise he might have squirted it out directly.

He looked at his father a little helplessly, and the idea of resentment was self-evident.

This question is not just abrupt and presumptuous, how can there be a move to ask the woman's age in public, if it weren't for Lu Shen himself being present, let others listen to you and think that you are an old man.

Li Bingxue's bright eyes turned around on the face of the father and son, and then smiled calmly: "Uncle Lu, I was born in the same year as him, but I am a few months younger than him. ”

"Young and promising, young and promising."

Lu Tong sighed again and again, and said: "Governor Li is the cadre city of the country, and Captain Li can make a great name in the army, and he may be able to become the first female commander of our Daqi military in the future, I am afraid it is difficult to find someone of the same age in this world——"

"Father."

Lu Shen's face changed slightly, and he interrupted: "Father's words are a bit rude. ”

Even if Li Bingxue is a child in the army, she can't openly talk about these topics in front of her, Lu Tong asked her age before, which is actually a bit out of line, and now it is even more inappropriate to talk about her life's events in person, so he must speak out to stop it.

However, Li Bingxue looked at the middle-aged man's eyes and said calmly: "Thank you Uncle Lu for your concern, it's just that the younger generation hasn't considered this kind of problem for the time being, because the first thing the children of the Li family should take into account is the great cause of the Northern Expedition." ”

Lu Tong sighed secretly in his heart, immediately smiled and stopped, and said solemnly: "Xu was a little bored by the spies of the Warp Weaving Division a few days ago, and I lost my words. Lu Shen He was worried about my safety, so he left the army and went south, if you are willing to accompany him, the Lu family and I will definitely remember the kindness of Captain Li. ”

Li Bingxue lowered his eyes and said: "Uncle Lu's words are serious, the juniors and Lu Duwei have cooperated several times on the battlefield, and they have their own comradeship, this kind of thing should be helped, there is no need to say thank you." ”

Lu Tong's evaluation of this young female general couldn't help but be a few points higher.

After chatting for a while, Li Bingxue got up to say goodbye, and Lu Shen sent him off in person.

The two walked side by side in the nine-song corridor, and Lu Shen said apologetically: "Miss Li, my father usually likes to talk and laugh, and he is not very cautious in his words, please don't be surprised." ”

Li Bingxue turned her head to look at him, and suddenly smiled.

Lu Shen was puzzled.

Li Bingxue sighed: "You are also quite interesting, sometimes you are as omnipotent as the wise generals depicted in the history books, and sometimes you are so stupid that people can't help but want to laugh." ”

Lu Shen said curiously: "How do you say this?" ”

Li Bingxue snorted lightly and said, "Do you think Uncle Lu is offending me suddenly?" In fact, he just can't figure out the relationship between us, and is worried that I am the kind of extremely strong personality that has to intervene between you and Lin Xi. Think about it, although I am only a lieutenant, but my father is the governor of Jingzhou, if I hate you because of love, will you have a lot of trouble? ”

Lu Shen was stunned, and then laughed and said: "My father doesn't understand you, and Miss Li has great ambitions, how can she be confined to her children's private affairs?" ”

"If you get cheap, you can sell well."

Li Bingxue suddenly raised his hand and flicked it lightly on his forehead, and then smiled: "But Uncle Lu's worry gave me some hints." If I openly stated that I wanted to be with you, and then declared this in front of Lin Xi and Wang Chulong, and then tried every means to compete with them and be jealous, would it be very lively at that time? ”

"It's really lively."

Lu Shen replied honestly, but his face was like a bitter melon.

Li Bingxue put her hands behind her back, did not deliberately comfort the bitter gourd next to her, and said leisurely: "Gu Wan'er is right, why should I deliberately wronged myself?" Even if you don't want to be a couple for a lifetime, you don't have to treat yourself as a deep resentful woman. So, Lu Shen, you have to be better to me, otherwise I can't guarantee that there will be no chickens and dogs around you. ”

A smile appeared on Lu Shen's face, he knew very well the intention of Li Bingxue's words, so he said sincerely: "But where it is effective, it is necessary to go to the soup and fight the fire. ”

"Hmm."

Li Bingxue nodded slightly, her eyes shining like stars.
