After that meeting, Lu Shen and the others returned to the station of the Ruishi Battalion.

Coming to Lu Shen's residence, Lu Tong said in a thoughtful tone: "Actually, you don't need to test Xiao Wangzhi, he is different from Li Tianrun. The people in the southern center were very jealous of him, lest he become a feudal town. The Son of Heaven transferred Chen Lanyu to the Beijing army, and now Li Jingda was appointed as the governor of Dingzhou, all of which were weakening his military power. ”

Everyone sat down one after another, and Lu Shen personally poured tea for them.

Lin Jie raised his hand and tapped it twice on the side of the teacup, and said indifferently: "It's about the future of Lu Shen's child, if I don't ask him face to face, I will feel uneasy." ”

"That's right."

Lu Tong nodded and said with a smile: "But Lao Xiao and I know each other's roots, you can rest assured of this." ”

"You just have the bottom in your heart."

Lin Jie didn't talk too deeply about this topic, but turned to look at Lu Shen and said, "Now that the big thing has been decided, what are your plans regarding the marriage between Ling and Xi'er?" ”

According to common sense, this kind of thing must require a matchmaker to pass it on, including the determination of the wedding date, the ritual of the six ceremonies, the confirmation of the guest list, and even the details of the bride price and dowry.

As the first person in the rivers and lakes, Lin Jie is naturally impatient with this kind of red tape, and although he has more than one child in Lin Xi, he loves this eldest daughter the most, and the dowry is naturally exhausted, which will definitely let her marry into the Lu family in a beautiful manner.

Lin Xi didn't get up to leave.

During that time in Heluo City, the two young people were inseparable, although they did not break through the last pass, but other than that, they were intimate.

So she just sat with a gentle expression, and her eyes fell on Lu Shen's face from time to time.

Faced with the question of the future father-in-law, Lu Shen replied frankly: "It should be put on the agenda." ”

Lin Jie was very satisfied with his answer, glanced at Lin Xi, who was sitting next to him, and said gently: "You and Xi'er are in love, this is originally a marriage made in heaven, and I have no dissatisfaction with it." It's just that, as far as I know, the girl from the Wang family is still coming to An, how are you going to arrange her? ”

Lin Xi was worried that Lu Shen would be embarrassed, so he said, "Daddy, my daughter really doesn't care about this matter. ”

Lin Jie secretly said The water spilled by the married daughter, the key is that you haven't entered the Lu family yet, so you are in such a hurry to speak for this kid.

Although women in this world are not to be jealous, you don't have to be too virtuous, so he smiled and said, "Silly boy, it's not a matter that you don't care." As a father, he doesn't like to be entangled afterwards, and some things should be explained clearly first, so that there will be no entanglement in the future. ”

"Master Yue's words are reasonable."

Lu Shen signaled Lin Xi not to be nervous, and then said honestly: "I want to marry my senior sister first, and then marry Miss Wang from my own family." Although it is a contemporary, the status of the senior sister will not be affected in any way, and I can make this clear guarantee in front of my father-in-law. ”

Lu Tong kept looking at his son with a smile and didn't interrupt.

Lin Jie bowed his head and said, "That's fine." ”

Lu Shen turned to look at Lu Tong and asked, "Father, is there a problem with Jian You?" ”

Lu Tong shook his head and smiled: "Naturally, there is no problem. However, I don't think you can use this method. ”

As soon as these words came out, the others couldn't help but look at him curiously.

Lu Tong clasped his hands in his sleeves and said leisurely: "The Son of Heaven should give marriage to the three of you." ”

"Marriage?"

Rao is Lu Shen has always been calm and calm, and he was a little surprised at the moment.

Lu Tong bowed his head and said: "The Son of Heaven knows the relationship between you and your senior sister, and also knows the content of your cooperation with Zhai Lin Wang's family, so he will naturally consider this issue." In this Northern Expedition, your credit is not even below Lao Xiao, Lao Xiao's military rank cannot be promoted, unless he returns to Beijing to replace Guo Congyi as a privy envoy. He is the prince of the country, you are the prince of the country, this title alone is not enough to reward you for your merits, and the Son of Heaven will definitely make up for it from other aspects. ”

Lu Shen smiled and said, "If the Son of Heaven gives marriage, it is indeed more appropriate." ”

Lu Tong said meaningfully: "After all, he gave Li Jingda the position of the governor of Dingzhou, and he wants to split your Ruishi battalion, so you have to prevent you from resentment." ”

"Actually, I have no opinion on the Son of Heaven, because from the perspective of the monarch and the minister, my courtier doesn't seem to be very loyal."

In front of several of them, Lu Shen naturally didn't need to beat around the bush, and then said: "Uncle Yue, the war horses I got from the Jing Dynasty this time are not eight thousand, but more than twelve thousand. For the extra 4,000 war horses, I asked General Song Shifei Song to bring them to Dingfeng Dao, and he will give 3,500 of them to the brothers of the Seven Star Army. ”

These words made Lin Jie slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but smile: "Okay." ”

In the vast area of the Baotai Mountain Range, it is not difficult to raise thousands of war horses, but in the past, the Seven Star Gang could not buy them with silver, after all, the resource of war horses has always been strictly controlled by various countries, even on top of iron ordnance.

Lin Jie thought for a while, and then said, "It seems that you and I have the same thoughts. I let the Seven Stars Gang continue to stay in the mountains, just to leave a way back for you and Xi'er, to avoid accidents in the future, you have no available people. Now it seems that you also want to continue to develop your strength in the mountains? ”

Lu Shen nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Yue." I have always believed that there is a lot to be done in Baotai Mountain, and the key lies in how to operate. Now that Baotai Mountain, Dingzhou and Huaizhou are connected together, and they also have a way to trade to the north, we naturally want to take advantage of this opportunity to develop Baotai Mountain. As the leader of the Northland Green Forest, Uncle Yue can continue to recruit troops and horses to strengthen his strength, as long as he can expand the Seven Star Army to about 10,000 people, we will have the confidence to act at the right and left. ”

Lin Jie groaned: "Ten thousand people...... If you are not there, who will lead this army? ”

Lu Shen looked at Lu Dao: "Father? ”

Lu Tongleng said: "Stinky boy, did you hit your father with the idea?" As my father is nearly fifty years old, where can I still command the army? ”

Lu Shen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Father misunderstood, aren't there still some people in your entrainment?" ”

Lu Tong said with emotion: "For my father, this bit of family foundation will be hollowed out by you sooner or later." ”

That being said, he did not object to Lu Shen's proposal.

Lu Shen's heart was relieved, and he said to Lin Jie: "Uncle Yue, in addition to the people in my father's hands, I also selected more than twenty generals from the Ruishi Battalion, and took the opportunity of this military adjustment to arrange them into the Seven Star Army, plus Yu Dajun and others in the original gang, they are enough to support the skeleton of the Seven Star Army." With a father-in-law in charge of the overall situation, this army will not go down the wrong path. ”

Lin Jie smiled and said, "Okay, just follow what you say." ”

"One more thing......"

Lu Shen spoke unhurriedly and told the two closest elders about one of his ideas.

As a traverser, of course he knew that there were too many things in his previous life that could be described as dimensional reduction strikes in this world, but he knew it but didn't know why, except for things like Greek fire, earth-made mines and black powder, which he knew in his previous life, other aspects were basically blind.

Mo said that he didn't even know the principle of Jenny's spinning machine, and he hadn't even seen it.

Therefore, he can only try to create a temporary paradise in Baotai Mountain from a rough point of view, and see if he can light a few fires by inspiring the craftsmen recruited on both sides.

As for whether there will be a harvest in the future, it can only depend on whether God favors it.

……

Sunset.

Lu Shen and Lin Xi walked in the courtyard.

The two held hands.

Lu Shen gently broke this charming atmosphere: "Senior sister, I want to go back to the capital with you and take you to see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Although the two can't talk about getting together less and leaving more, most of them are busy with business when they are together, and they only enjoyed the sweetness of lovers during the time they were in Heluo City before.

Lu Shen always had a regret in his heart, that is, he didn't take Lin Xi to see the scenery outside, and there shouldn't be much trouble going south this time, so he hoped to go with Lin Xi.

Lin Xi took his hand and said with a smile: "Do you still want to come to Ancheng to see Miss Wang?" ”

Lu Shen's careful thinking was pierced by her, and she said with some embarrassment: "If Senior Sister doesn't want to see it, then I won't see it." ”

Lin Xi stopped, turned his head to look at him, and said seriously: "Senior brother, I really don't mind the appearance of Miss Wang, but ...... I still haven't seen her for a while, and I think she's thinking the same way. It's not about jealousy, it's just that the only thing we have in common is you, but it's embarrassing to talk about. ”

Lu Shen was worried that she would have prejudices in her heart, so she hurriedly said: "Then I won't see it, let's go south all the way from Huaizhou, and then I'll take you around the south of the Yangtze River, and then we'll go to the capital to face the saint." ”

Who knew that Lin Xi still shook his head.

Lu Shen was slightly puzzled.

Lin Xi explained: "I heard so many things from the elders today, although they said it more vaguely, but I can hear that your situation is not as leisurely as it seems, and the pressure on you is still very high. Senior brother, I have always felt that there are very few places where I can help you, unlike Miss Wang who can help you with the help of Zhai Lin Wang's heritage, and not like Sister Bingxue who can fight side by side with you on the battlefield. ”

Lu Shen raised his hand and pressed her lips lightly, and said distressed and angry: "Senior sister, you can't say that, you and I don't need these things to prove it at all." If I really want to talk about it, if I didn't have your help when I was in Guangling, I wouldn't have been able to take the first step. As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the first step is the most important. ”

"Hmm."

Lin Xi raised her other hand to hold his hand, the two held hands, and she said gently, "I know your intentions, but I want to do something for you." I am a Jianghu person, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I don't understand those military affairs, so I can only do it in my own way. ”

Lu Shen looked at her in a daze.

Lin Xi let go of his hand and smiled, "Do you remember it?" ”

She took out the mask she had been carrying with her from her sleeve, its blue-faced fangs rather hideous.

Lu Shen instantly understood her thoughts, and couldn't help muttering, "Senior sister......"

"You go to the capital to do business, and I'll go to Jiang Yangsheng, the tenth in the world. This is just the beginning, sooner or later, one day, I will give you this river and lake, I don't know if you like it? ”

She put on the mask, and her whole person's temperament changed instantly, like a long knife out of the sheath, and the sharpness was so sharp that people didn't dare to look at it directly.

Lu Shen looked at the cold eyes on the mask, nodded seriously, and said, "I like it." ”

"I want everyone in the world to know that the woman Lu Shen likes is not the duckweed that clings to him, but the green forest hero who uses a river and lake as a dowry."

Lin Xi's tone was soft, and there was a sense of coldness.

"Her name is Bodhisattva."
