The spring breeze in February is like scissors.

In the city of Heluo, it is gradually becoming peaceful.

After several days of anxious waiting, the people in the city found that although this Qi army was not peaceful, its military discipline was not bad, at least there was no massacre of the city as they imagined.

Martial law has not yet been lifted, no one can leave the neighborhood or street where they live, and every major road is guarded by Qi soldiers.

As long as there is no out-of-the-ordinary behavior, those military men will not force everyone to huddle at home.

Although the internal and external transportation has been cut off, the reserves in Heluo City are very sufficient, and there will be no problem for a month or two.

Originally, the court officials of Yan State were killed by Zhang Can's dead soldiers, and the rest of them became the coolies of the Qi army to maintain the people's livelihood in the city, and even the prime minister Wang An was not spared.

This morning, Wang An was finally able to return to the Wang family's mansion after a long absence, he looked at the elite of the Qi army inside and outside his house, and said cautiously: "Captain Lu, please." ”

Lu Shen nodded expressionlessly and strode into Lan Xue Hall.

Lee Seung-eun and Tan Zheng followed.

After everyone entered, Lu Shen's personal soldiers closed the door and inspected the surroundings.

In addition to Wang An, there is also a Wang family member in the hall, who is nearly fifty years old and looks slightly nervous.

Since the fall of Heluo City, this middle-aged man has been both happy and worried, happy that his daughter has met a good match, and Lu Shen must have a bright future, on the other hand, he is worried that this young man will turn his face and not recognize people, and use Zhai Lin Wang's family as a raft to shock people's hearts.

Especially Wang An has never returned home, and the inside and outside of the mansion are guarded by Qi troops, which makes him even more frightened.

At this moment, when he finally saw Lu Shen's true face, Wang Cheng was first surprised by the other party's young and handsome, and then hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Sinner Wang Cheng, meet Captain Lu of Great Qi!" ”

The corners of Wang An's mouth twitched.

Before Wang Cheng leaned down, he had a pair of steady hands supporting his arms, and then heard Lu Shen say: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite, the little nephew can't afford it." ”

Uncle...... Little Nephew......

Wang Cheng secretly pondered these two titles, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Lu Shen's gentle expression.

Rao is the literary world, everyone in the literary world is speechless when debating and analyzing the scriptures with others, and he can't help but be speechless at this moment.

Lu Shen let go of his arms and smiled, "Uncle, let's sit down and talk, shall we?" ”

Wang Cheng finally realized at this moment that the young man in front of him would not turn his face, and it was obvious that he was willing to accept Wang Chulong's marriage.

Even though his heart was bright, Wang Cheng didn't dare to put his father-in-law in front of Lu Shen, on the contrary, he looked very cramped.

Seeing this, Wang An smiled and said, "Brother, Lu Duwei was just acting in front of outsiders before, after all, our Wang family can't expose the details for the time being." ”

Lu Shen took over and said, "That's right. In fact, the little nephew should have come to visit his uncle earlier, but he didn't want to make people suspicious, so he delayed it for a few days. ”

Wang Cheng sighed with emotion: "You are busy with military affairs, in fact, you can just send someone to say it, and you don't have to go in person." ”

Lu Shen smiled.

Everyone sat down one after another, and Wang An saw that his brother was still immersed in the mood of looking at his son-in-law, so he took the initiative to provoke the topic and said: "Captain Lu, how long are the army going to stay?" ”

Lu Shen said calmly: "Two months at most." ”

Seeing that he didn't hide it at all, Wang An only felt very ironed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Qingyu Huaijin is in your hands, Qingyu Zhongwang and Mou Lianghu will definitely throw a mouse bogey, and Heluo will not be in danger for the time being." It's just that, according to my understanding of Emperor Jing, he won't back down too much, at most, he will default to Daqi occupying Dongyang Road. ”

Lu Shen said: "The more than 10,000 cavalry led by Qingyu Zhongwang are currently stationed in the territory of Henan Road, and Mou Lianghu also led his troops to retreat to Jiangbei Road, in fact, this is enough, I don't really care if Emperor Jing is willing to retreat." ”

The Wang brothers glanced at each other, and they all felt the sharpness in this young man.

Lu Shen continued: "I came here today mainly to visit my uncle, and secondly, I have a few things to talk to the two of you. ”

Wang Anzheng said: "Please speak." ”

Lu Shen raised his hand and pointed at Tan Zheng on the left, and said, "His name is Tan Zheng, he is one of the people I trust the most, and he will be responsible for the transmission of information in Heluo City in the future." In the future, if you have any news, you can directly hand it over to him, it will be safer and more convenient, and you don't need to go through the original mail route. ”

Tan Zheng bowed to the two.

Wang An bowed his head and said, "That's very good." ”

Lu Shen said again: "Second, I am going to let the gate lord clan in the city have some blood, and the Wang family must not be an exception, so I will greet you first." ”

This is also the proper meaning of the question.

The Huaizhou army worked hard to defeat Heluo, and it was impossible to come in vain, at least it had to get back enough benefits.

Lu Shen's requirements for military discipline are very strict, and besides, how can those bitter haha in the city have any floating wealth?

If you want to rob, of course, you have to rob the rich.

Wang Cheng couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, the Wang family will definitely not be left behind." ”

Wang An knew that Lu Shen's idea was not so simple, and this was probably not a simple bleeding.

Sure enough, I heard Lu Shen say: "Uncle listen to me first." We can't take away the fields, houses, and the like, but gold, silver, and grain are different. I will give the two of you a bottom first, this time I did not set a fixed amount, but all the rich families in the city must hand over fifty percent of the floating wealth. ”

Wang Cheng was stunned.

Wang An smiled: "It's okay, it should be the dowry prepared by Zhai Lin Wang's family for Chu Long." ”

Lu Shen couldn't help but glance at him, and he was able to hand over fifty percent of his family assets without changing his face, even if he didn't include the big heads of fields and real estate, they could already be described as hurting his muscles and bones.

Wang An said again: "Du Wei wants to know from us how deep the heritage of other families in the city is?" ”

Lu Shen smiled and said, "After all, I still can't hide it from Wang Xiang." ”

Wang An thought for a while and said, "Please give me three days." ”

Lu Shen bowed his head, chatted with the two for a while, chatted about a few interesting things with Wang Chulong, and then got up to say goodbye.

The Wang brothers respectfully sent him out of the house, then turned around and turned back.

Back in Lanxue Hall, Wang Cheng asked, "Can you stay in the mansion today?" ”

Wang An took a sip of the tea that had cooled, and sighed lightly: "When I came, he said that he would let me rest in the mansion for half a day today, and then go to the palace tomorrow to do business." ”

Wang Cheng recalled the short and hasty meeting just now, and felt something in his heart for a while, and muttered: "This son is quite benevolent. ”

"Renhou?"

Wang An raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wang Cheng smiled: "Why is it not benevolent? Now that Heluo City is under his control, don't say that fifty percent of the family's assets, even if he sends troops to loot the big households in the city, who would dare to say nothing? Anyway, he doesn't plan to stay there for a long time, and the Jing army will not attack Heluo at present. From this point of view, he is still soft-hearted after all, if it is Xiao Wangzhi who leads the troops this time, he will definitely loot Heluo City before leaving. ”

"Brother, you are still a literati after all."

Wang An shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "You don't understand the deep meaning of Lu Shen's hand at all. ”

Wang Cheng asked puzzledly, "What is the deep meaning?" ”

Wang An said: "His raid on Heluo this time is to prepare for the future, and he will definitely lay many ambushes in places that we can't see." Moreover, if he looted Heluo this time, who would dare to sit back and watch him attack the city in the future? All the big families in the city are determined to stand with the defenders, do you know how much trouble this will cause to the Qi army? ”

These words brought Wang Cheng back to his senses, and he couldn't help but nod and said, "This is true. ”

Wang An said again: "As for this second layer of deep meaning, there is no doubt that it is aimed at our Wang family. ”

Wang Cheng was shocked: "Targeting us? ”

"Carefully speaking, it's not targeted, it's just that he took precautions."

Wang An laughed at himself and said slowly: "Because of Chu Long, it is impossible for us to throw ourselves into the Jing Dynasty anymore. Now there is such a thing, Zhai Lin Wang will become a traitor to all the big families. If something happens in the future, Lu Shen only needs to reveal today's events, and all the clans in Heluo City will understand that it is our Wang family who will sell their bottom cleanly, and how will the Zhai Lin Wang clan gain a foothold among the gate valves? ”

Wang Cheng's face turned slightly pale.

Seeing this, Wang An was relieved: "Actually, this is also a good thing, it proves that Lu Shen really wants to marry Chu Long, but he is worried about being constrained by Zhai Lin Wang's family, so he laid the groundwork in advance." Perhaps he has long understood that the inheritance of the family for thousands of years depends on the intertwined relationship and pervasive erosion. ”

Wang Cheng thought for a long time and sighed: "He is still so young, it's really not simple. ”

Wang An's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "I am more and more curious now, where can he go in the future." ”

……

On the way back, Lu Shen's expression was slightly solemn.

He was not worried that the Zhai Lin Wang clan would defect to the Jing Dynasty again, whether it was Emperor Jing or Qing Yugong, it was impossible to accept that the people below would sway repeatedly and cause substantial damage to the Jing army.

However, this kind of hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the gate valve has to be guarded against, don't look at the Wang brothers at the moment, when the situation is stable in the future and their power begins to expand, the Wang family will inevitably try to find ways to get a piece of the pie.

This has nothing to do with the character and integrity of the Wang brothers, but the instinctive needs of a family.

So he wants to remind the other party that everything is too much, and he is not the kind of fool who lets others fiddle with him.

"Young master, it's here."

Li Chengen's voice sounded beside him, Lu Shen came back to his senses, raised his eyes to look at the courtyard where he lived, and then turned his gaze to the side: "Has she been at peace these days?" ”

Li Chengen replied: "Everything is as usual, and the poison of hooking and sinking continues every day. ”

Lu Shen smiled, and immediately dismounted and walked to the small courtyard next to him.

When he came to the main hall, there was no one here, Lu Shen immediately looked at the side room, and saw Qing Yu Huaijin reading a book in front of the window.

"I heard that you have been very peaceful and doing well these days, please keep it up."

Lu Shen walked to the door and said.

Qingyu Huaijin subconsciously turned his head, and after seeing that it was Lu Shen, he put down the scroll and got up and walked over.

"You're here."

She said softly.

Obviously it was just three words that were light and light, but Lu Shen seemed to hear thunder.

He looked at this washed face, and noticed that the other party's complicated eyes still seemed to carry hatred and pain for him, and there were some indescribable emotions.

The two have always been enemies of life and death, and this is still the case until this moment, and it is said that whenever they meet, even if they can remain peaceful on the surface, in reality they will only be filled with a hostile atmosphere.

However, Qing Yu Huaijin met his gaze and suddenly sighed softly, as if her heart was extremely entangled at the moment.

Lu Shen looked at it for a moment, until Qing Yu Huaijin was about to speak euphemistically, he spit out a few words with an expressionless face.

"You're not sick, are you?"

Qing Yu Huaijin was stunned.

After a few moments, she almost gritted her silver teeth and shouted angrily, "You're sick!" ”
