After Xu Da left, Zuo Junbi continued to sit alone at the negotiation table, looking uncertain......

Facing Xu Da just now, he still had a look of "arrogance" and "disdain", but he was left alone, but Zuo Junbi's expression at this time gradually became depressed, not to mention the unyielding self-confidence just now, and his eyes also showed inexplicable sadness - obviously the toughness just now was pretended in front of Xu Da, but no one knew what Zuo Junbi really thought in his heart......

"Hey......" After a long time, Zuo Junbi held the table with both hands and sighed alone: "Why did this world become like this...... The Mengyuan court was heavily entrusted with conscription, and there were factional disputes inside and outside the court, and the people were struggling to make a living; they hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would raise troops to expel the Tartars, but now he is self-proclaimed emperor and seeks political status...... We want to be at peace with the world, but we are being manipulated like chess pieces, and everyone is fighting for selfish interests, and this war can only burn for a long time...... I don't know who I should trust in these troubled times......"

Just as Zuo Junbi was lamenting alone, there was movement in the inner room curtain. www.biquge.infoZuo Junbi knew from the beginning that there were people inside, but he thought it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Xu Da's cronies, and even wanted to threaten himself in case of accidents, Zuo Junbi didn't take it seriously from the beginning.

"Okay, don't hide, I know you're ...... inside" Zuo Junbi didn't look up and looked at it, but just said in a low voice, "My Zuo Junbi has nothing to see, I need you to peep secretly, even if you want to take Zuo's life, Zuo won't frown half......" It seems that the person Zuo Junbi thought came out was the killer set up by Zhu Yuanzhang to kill himself after the negotiation failed, and he spoke unyieldingly, but his tone was low and sad.

The person who came out was not a killer, it was Lu Jing, but Zuo Junbi didn't look at it with his eyes, and he didn't know the identity of the comer. Until Lu Jing slowly took off her helmet, revealing her delicate long hair and her unchanged face, she asked in an amiable tone: "Lord Zuo, do you remember me?"

It was a woman's voice, Zuo Junbi seemed to be a little familiar with this voice, and couldn't help but look up - "You are ......" Zuo Junbi's eyes were full of surprise, and his expression changed, "You are the Lu family's ...... Lady ......"

"Heh, I'm not the 'eldest lady of the Lu family' anymore, I'm now the military adviser of the vanguard army of Chang Yuchun's left ......" Lu Jing seemed to be talking to an acquaintance, smiling, and amiable, completely different from his previous attitude towards Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da.

While speaking, Lu Jing also sat on the chair opposite, which was the position where Xu Da was sitting during the negotiation just now. Lu Jing's expression was extremely friendly, not at all like she was going to negotiate tonight, but like an old friend reunited after a long absence, with countless words to say.

"Why are you in ...... Zhu Yuanzhang's battalion?" I haven't seen him for two years, Zuo Junbi never dared to imagine that the eldest lady of the Lu family, who was once "eccentric" and had countless people, has now become the general of the first army in the southern and northern wars, Zuo Junbi couldn't help but say, "You have changed too much, I ...... I can't get used to it for a long time......" As he spoke, Zuo Junbi couldn't help but joke.

"It's been a long time, Lord Zuo ......" Lu Jing said with a smile, "Although in Bianliang, we don't see each other many times, but our Lu family is in Bianliang, and you are still grateful to Lord Zuo for your care as a court official of the Han people......

"Do you still dare to say that?" Zuo Junbi seemed to be talking to Lu Jing, recalling and laughing, "I don't remember that you were originally in Bianliang, and you always like to make trouble with the whole person, and the people of our government go to catch thieves, you always like to take your delicate sister everywhere to 'make trouble' and cause trouble for us......"

"What's the trouble, didn't I also want to help Lord Zuo catch the thief at that time?" Lu Jing also seemed to recall the interesting things in the past, and couldn't help laughing.

"What do you help?" I remember very clearly, once we forced the thief into a dead end, and as a result, you troublemaker, you couldn't die on the roof, and a large basin of dishwashing water was poured downstairs......" Zuo Junbi said with a smile, "Not to mention the thief, but also to the heads of our officials, so angry that my subordinates wanted to 'arrest you' together."

"But isn't it, that thief would have ......done lightly at that time," Lu Jing continued to laugh, "If I hadn't stopped him with dishwashing water at the time, even if it was a dead end, you would have let him go......"

"As a result, your father found out about this and arrested you and Linglong and scolded you a lesson, or did I personally come forward to your Lu family and ask for you, so that your father could calm down his anger, haha......" Zuo Junbi remembered Lu Jing's "naughty" in the past, and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, is it? I used to be so naughty......" Lu Jing couldn't help but enjoy it, and said with a smile, without the prudence of intrigue and deceit on weekdays, the innocence of the former girl was fully revealed.

Zuo Junbi couldn't help but realize that the conversation with Lu Jing made him forget the sadness and troubles just now, and then he restrained his expression a little, and said aminoly: "It's still Miss Lu, you are interesting, whoever talks to you will be happy, no wonder you are so 'naughty', there are still so many people who like you......"

"Thank you, Lord Zuo, for the compliment, Lord Zuo is still the same as before, so approachable......" Lu Jing responded.

"It's just that I didn't expect that now you will become a staff officer under the army, and you will crusade against Meng Yuan with Zhu Yuanzhang. If your father knew about your feat of caring for the world, I am afraid he would also be proud of your daughter......" Zuo Junbi couldn't help but sigh for a while, looking at Lu Jing's still unchanged face and said.

"Come on, if my father knew that I was fighting outside, I would definitely have to be trained to apologize for my crimes......" Lu Jing thought of her father's strictness, and couldn't help but ridicule, but when it came to family affairs, thinking that she hadn't returned home for two years, and she missed her family in Bianliang from time to time, Lu Jing couldn't help but sigh, "However, I really haven't been home for a long time, and I haven't seen my father and mother and Linglong for a long time...... Two years ago, I secretly ran away from home and deceived my father, which must have made my father and mother heartbroken......" Speaking of this, Lu Jing's eyes couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of your mother...... Zuo Junbi seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but mention, "Two years ago, you said that you ran away from home, I think it should be that time - because you disappeared and left a letter at home, your father and mother were so worried that they even ran to the mansion to intercede with me, and asked me to send someone to inquire about your whereabouts...... Hey, but who knew that you went north to Zhu Yuanzhang's camp? Our people searched for a long time in the city, but they couldn't find your whereabouts, and a year later, your mother missed you too much, and she was sick in bed, and she hasn't recovered until now......"

"What, my mother, she-" Hearing her mother's condition, Lu Jing couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Lord Zuo, what's wrong with my mother, she'll be fine, right?"

"The illness is not a big deal, but the doctor said that your mother misses you too much and often loses her appetite, so she is weak and often bedridden...... But fortunately, your mother was also a swordsman with a long track record in the rivers and lakes when she was young, and the bottom of her body was quite strong, so this appetite disease didn't have much effect, Miss Lu, don't worry too much......" Zuo Junbi comforted in time.

"But my mother is still because I am sick...... Lu Jing knew about her mother's illness, and couldn't help but feel guilty, "When I was a child, I was not sensible, and I always caused chaos to my family, which made my father and mother do their best." My mother used to love me the most, and every time I went out, she was worried about what would happen to me as a girl...... It seems that this time, I went out a little too much, from Bianliang to Shandong, went around most of the circle and then returned to Bianliang, two years before the news, my mother must have been worried and scared for two years...... As a daughter, I am really ashamed that I did not fulfill my filial piety......"

Seeing Lu Jing's sad and self-blaming appearance, Zuo Junbi was also sad on the side, and the atmosphere of sadness and nostalgia even made the two forget that they were militarily hostile to each other, and the two sides were negotiating, which was more like the narrative of an old man who had been reunited for a long time......

"But now is the opportunity......" Zuo Junbi changed his words, "You are back, there is a chance to see your father and mother again......"

"It's just that now I can't go back to Bian......liang so easily," Lu Jing said with a sad look in her eyes, "Now we are hostile to each other, if we don't enter the city, there will be a possibility of war at any time...... I was really scared, afraid that the war would affect my parents and ...... And ......" Lu Jing said, as if she had some terrible premonitions, and did not dare to continue down.

"Unless ......" Suddenly, Zuo Junbi's tone changed, "If there is a way not to fight......

Lu Jing seemed to feel something, and glanced up at Zuo Junbi.

Zuo Junbi paused, looked at Lu Jing's amiable eyes, and thought that she in front of him was the only person he could trust now. Zuo Junbi smiled softly, and then said: "Miss Lu, the world is difficult and dangerous, and the war is devastated, I, Zuo Junbi, am in a troubled world, and I am an official in a corner of the place, and I only seek the tranquility of one side." How can I continue to calculate and schem, Bianliang can't escape the covetousness of the tiger and wolf after all, people's hearts are sinister, and I don't dare to trust others in the troubled times...... But only you, Miss Lu, I believe in you, I believe that you are still the 'naughty' Miss Lu family who has not changed. If the matter of peace is handed over to you, I can trust it, and I believe that your kindness can really keep the people of Bianliang away from war and strife......"

"Lord Zuo......" Lu Jing saw that Zuo Junbi was willing to entrust the heavy responsibility of the people of Bianliang to herself, and her eyes couldn't help but be confused and moved.

"It's decided-" Zuo Junbi stood up and said to Lu Jing with a smile, "I, Zuo Junbi, am willing to open the city and surrender to avoid war...... But it's not Xiang Zhu Yuanzhang, it's not Xiang Xu Da, it's Xiang You, Miss Lu alone, I only believe you-"

Lu Jing had long been choked up on the side, she was very grateful for Zuo Junbi's care and trust in the Lu family over the years, until now at the juncture of the war, he still believes in himself, a naughty but real girl who once "caused trouble" to him.

"Actually, Zuo has already prepared to surrender troops and horses...... Zuo Junbi continued, "The main soldiers and horses in the city, before I set off, gathered in a remote forest outside the city. It was a place where Bianliang used to hoard and train troops, so that they could hide a force of several thousand people, and it was not a problem at all...... Miss Lu, the night is long and dreams are many, tonight I will take you to the forest to collect the army, so as not to let Wang Dasheng and other generals of the main battle faction in the city notice. As long as that force is absorbed, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Bianliang, and as long as the army presses the border, I believe they will surrender sooner or later......"

"Thank you...... Thank you, Lord Zuo......" Lu Jing stood up, and she was almost a little crying.

"Okay, don't cry, we do this, isn't it all for the safety of the people of Bianliang......" Zuo Junbi smiled and said: "I, Zuo Junbi, as a minister of the general, have never done anything good in my life, so it's ......good to let this surrender and make a contribution to the people of Bianliang."

"Well, I will never let down your entrustment to Lord Zuo......" Lu Jing nodded in agreement, and secretly made up her mind to fulfill Zuo Junbi's wish for herself, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness to take care of the Lu family all year round......

Outside the middle camp, Zhu Yuanzhang and others were still waiting outside, and the results of the negotiations between Lu Jing and Zuo Junbi in the camp were ......

In the camp and school field, a few cool breezes blew from time to time, which made people shiver. Chang Yuchun was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang was sick, so he proposed: "Your Majesty, it's cold at night, why don't we go to the camp and wait?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, his eyes were looking at the front of the middle camp, and he said firmly: "No, I must wait until the army division comes out—"

Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance of paying so much attention to Lu Jing, and couldn't help but be confused in his heart, remembering what Lu Jing had said to him before the negotiation, and then looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes looking forward to Lu Jing, Xu Da couldn't help but feel more and more that what Lu Jing said might come true......

"What's wrong with you, Lord Xu?" Seeing that Xu Da was in a trance, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but ask on the side—he didn't know what Xu Da and Lu Jing had just said in the camp.

"Oh, no, it's okay......" Xu Da replied, "It's just a little cold, standing still for a long time, maybe a little trembling......"

Chang Yuchun didn't suspect anything, just thought it was ordinary, and after saying "oh", he didn't pay attention to it.

Xu Da calmed down for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "Damn, at the moment of the big event, why am I still thinking about these things? What the girl said may not be true, I, Xu Da, have been captured by the marshal, I have never seen any strong winds and waves, and I will be fascinated by a girl...... Yes, no, definitely not ......" Xu Da tried to calm down from time to time......

"Your Majesty, they came out......" for a long time, as if the negotiations between the middle camp had ended, Chang Yuchun reminded in a low voice on the side.

Needless to say, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes have been staring at Zhongying, and he always pays attention to every move in the progress of the negotiations. Seeing Lu Jing and Zuo Junbi coming out of the camp at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly looking forward to the answer he wanted in his heart......

Sitting down the steps, Zuo Junbi and Lu Jing gradually separated - Zuo Junbi went to the direction of his subordinates' war horses to pack his things, and Lu Jing returned to Zhu Yuanzhang......

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang and the others again, Lu Jing's expression returned to the cold of the past, which made people look scheming. There were still tears in the corners of Lu Jing's eyes, but fortunately, it was dark in the night, and Zhu Yuanzhang and the others didn't notice it......

"How is it, Army Division, what is the result of the negotiation?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, and couldn't wait to ask.

Lu Jing's expression was calm, and she responded coldly: "Of course the negotiation is...... Succeeded--Lord Zuo agreed to surrender, and tonight he took us to the remote forest outside the city, where he gathered the soldiers and horses in the city in advance and waited for the emperor to take them in......"

As soon as he heard that he had succeeded, Xu Da showed a surprised look on the side - he couldn't negotiate with the generalissimo, but he let Lu Jing, who "mocked" him in every way, do it......

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he showed an incomprehensible smile, and then said: "Very good, it is indeed an army division, and it lives up to my expectations...... General Chang Yuchun listens to orders!"

"The end will be—" Chang Yuchun immediately replied.

"Tonight, General Chang and the army division will go to the remote forest outside the city with me to collect the enemy troops-" Zhu Yuanzhang continued.

"The last general will obey the order-" Chang Yuchun echoed in response.

"Marshal Xu!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to order.

"The last will be—" Xu Da also turned around and replied.

"Order you to stand by in the camp and wait for me and General Chang to return to the camp—" Zhu Yuanzhang continued.

"Yes—" Xu Da also responded.

After giving orders, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun left one after another, each going to sort out their own military affairs......

Zhu Yuanzhang and Lu Jing were left "alone" in front of the camp, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lu Jing with suspicion, as if he still had something to say.

However, Lu Jing didn't seem to want to talk too much with Zhu Yuanzhang, and wanted to turn around and go with Chang Yuchun to gather soldiers and horses.

"How did you do that?" Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly behind his back, "Tell me that even Marshal Xu failed to convince you, how did you persuade Zuo Junbi?"

Lu Jing didn't look back, and said coldly with her back to her: "Human affection ......"

"What did you say?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked closely.

"As I said, the more the war is coming, the more you have to discuss calmly and think more about your emotions...... And this is also the truth that you will never understand, Your Majesty......" After Lu Jing finished speaking, she left coldly without looking back.

And Zhu Yuanzhang stood for a long time, looking at Lu Jing's back, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time...... (To be continued.) )
