Chapter 224: Guarding Xiangyang?
After receiving Lu Wenhuan's assurance, Zheng Yuanlong also felt a little relieved and said goodbye.
Seeing Zheng Yuanlong leaving, Lu Wenshi also walked out of the back room, she bowed to Lu Wenhuan and thanked: "Thank you uncle for your help, otherwise I am afraid that I will be discovered by that guy." Although he knew that the other party was not a violent person like Tartar, out of a woman's instinct, Lu Wenshi was still afraid of Zheng Yuanlong.
Lu Wenhuan shook his head, but his face was a little tired, and he complained: "Alas. That Lu Liang is now imprisoned, and it is also his fate that should be like this. It's just that you orphans and widows, don't get involved in this matter anymore. Otherwise, Lu Long would have no relatives. ”
After all, they are relatives for many years, and Lu Wenhuan is quite clear about the temperament of Lu Liang and Lu Wen, and of course he understands that Lu Wen's is not the one who is willing to give up, so he is afraid that he will really be stupid and go to confront the Huaxia Army.
Lu Wenshi bowed again: "Don't worry, niece knows." Although he apologized on the surface, the resentment in his heart never dissipated, and he was still full of resentment: "No matter what, at least they have to pay the price." Thinking of her previous daughter, she showed a trace of worry, and said goodbye: "By the way, uncle, Na Long'er must be in a hurry to find me at this moment, so I will leave." After that, he hurried out of the place, wanting to find his beloved daughter.
"Alas. I hope you don't make a mistake, or it will be bad. ”
Lu Wenhuan's eyes were slightly closed, and his face was a little worried.
Even the Yuan army can't fight against it, so what can a woman do?
In this regard, Lu Wenhuan did not have any expectations, but felt that the front was very depressed, as if there was a storm hovering over Xiangyang, and it would completely destroy this previously peaceful city anytime and anywhere.
After saying goodbye, Lu Wen walked all the way to the back garden, but after a few turns in the back garden, he never saw his son. In this way, Lu Wenshi suddenly panicked, and hurriedly walked out of the house, but ran towards the street outside, and shouted: "Lu Long, Lu Long, where are you?" After walking for a while, she saw that her son was being held by a middle-aged man at the moment, and Lu Long had some cracks on his body, and his face was also covered with dust, which made her extremely afraid, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted to Lu Long: "Xiaolong, don't you come over quickly?"
"Mother. It turns out that you are here, and Xiaolong is easy to find. ”
Lu Long hurriedly jumped down from the middle-aged man's arms, and jumped in front of Lu Wen's step by step, but he was so frightened that Lu Wen's hurriedly held him in his arms, and after searching his body, he didn't find anything abnormal, so he felt a little relieved.
Thinking of the possible result, Lu Wen's face turned pale and he reprimanded: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the room and not run around? Why did you run out by yourself again?"
"The child understood. ”
Lu Long stuck out his tongue, looking very cute, but his eyebrows were crowded together, revealing a look of nostalgia: "But Mom, didn't you say that you want to help me find Dad?
Lu Wenshi was stunned for a while, and complained: "This, your father has some things to do, so he has to wait a little longer." His eyes moved slightly, but he fell on the middle-aged man, and asked, "You are still asking for advice, who are you?"
This middle-aged man is the same age as her husband, Lu Liang, but his figure is more burly, and his face is more chic.
"Under Jin Ming. Previously, because of some things, I met your son by chance, which made Your Excellency misunderstand. Jin Ming smiled, and the bright smile made Lu Wenshi dazed for a while, and he was a little shy.
At this moment, Na Lu Long also shouted: "Mother." Sir is amazing, just three or two clicks to shoot those guys who bullied me. ”
"That's right. Previously, because Ling Gongzi was alone, he was missed by some gangsters. Fortunately, I met it, so I didn't suffer a catastrophe. Jin Ming smiled, and then described what had happened earlier.
It turned out that in the previous time, because Lu Long had not found Lu Wen's family for a long time, he left the back garden and planned to look for it on the street.
Because of his dress, he was targeted by the homeless men in the city, and planned to attack Lu Long, after all, this Xiangyang had just been captured, and there were still many places that had not been controlled, and the public security was far from being very good.
It was also at this time that Jin Ming suddenly appeared here, and beat the gangsters away, and saved Lu Long.
After hearing this, Lu Wenshi bowed down with gratitude, and said, "Thank you really this time, otherwise I don't know what will happen?" Now that Lu Liang has been arrested, if she can't even save her only heir, she will be a sinner for the ages.
Jin Ming replied with a smile: "This matter is just a gesture, so you don't need to care." Seeing that Lu Wenshi was alone, he said again: "That's right." I see that you are alone, but I am afraid that you will encounter danger on the road, why don't you let me protect you?"
"Thank you then. ”
Lu Wenshi was relieved, out of trust in her own son, she did not doubt Jin Ming's purpose at all.
So, the two of them walked towards their own mansion in the distance with Lu Long, and in the eyes of others, it looked like a happy family.
On the other side, after Zheng Yuanlong said goodbye to Lu Wenhuan again, he also returned to Fuzhong.
When he returned home, he saw that his son Zheng Shipang was in the house, so he was curious and asked, "Why haven't you slept so late?"
"Father. The main thing is that the child has some things and wants to ask his father's opinion. Zheng Shipang showed a touch of embarrassment and opened his mouth to ask.
Zheng Yuanlong frowned slightly, although he felt strange, he was also happy that his son was able to meet him, so he replied: "Of course you can." ”
"That's good. ”
Zheng Shipang took a deep breath, and then said his request: "Actually, it's such a father." You also know that we have just recovered Xiangyang, and because of the Tartars, many real estate and fields have become borderless, so the child thinks that we may be able to set up a yamen and collect these things in one place and use them as military funds?"
"Huh, why did you come up with this idea?"
Zheng Yuanlong was quite surprised, after all, they had just recovered Xiangyang, and many things were crowded together, it was too much, so he didn't expect this.
Zheng Shipang complained: "Alas. If people like Lu Liang are allowed to continue to act arbitrarily, there will be a lot of trouble, so I think it is better to set up such a yamen to be in charge of this land and real estate?"
"Haha. You have a heart. ”
Zheng Yuanlong smiled, but he was happy for his son: "It's just that this matter still needs the permission of the lord, otherwise we can't act rashly, you know?" After all, his son can put forward such an idea, which can be regarded as some insight.
Zheng Shipang patted his chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, father, I believe that the Lord will definitely agree." After all, Lu Liang's incident happened, and I don't think the lord wants to let this kind of thing happen again. ”
"Good. Since you have faith, then of course I will help you too. Zheng Yuanlong encouraged.
Zheng Shipang looked happy, and hurriedly thanked him: "Then I will thank my father first." "In the previous capture of Xiangyang, although he had the merit of mediating in the middle, it was not very big, so the official rank did not rise, but he just got some rewards.
Now that his two young people have made contributions in Taiyuan, this news makes Zheng Shipang a little anxious, but he doesn't want to lose to those two.
So he planned this kind of thing, intending to rely on this credit to add another star to his shoulder.
Regarding Zheng Shipang's ambition, Zheng Yuanlong naturally had no intention of stopping it, so after waiting until the next day, he immediately found Xiao Feng and explained the pros and cons of the whole thing clearly. As he expected, Xiao Feng really agreed to this matter, let him select the candidate, and be responsible for this matter.
After getting this sentence, Zheng Yuanlong didn't say a word, and directly promoted his son.
No matter what, he is just a father who is worried about his son's future, and it is natural that he would do this kind of behavior at this time.
After taking office, Zheng Shipang was also pleasantly surprised, and naturally began to invite people from all walks of life, and before that, he also knew that in order to complete this task, he also needed to know someone.
"Yu Qing!"
Walking straight into the restaurant, Zheng Shipang sat directly next to Lu Shikui.
Lu Shikui glanced sideways, and suddenly showed a bitter look on his face, but said: "It turned out to be Shi Pang? Why did you find it?" Looking at the table full of wine and food, he felt as if his whole person had been denied, and said with a wry smile: "You have also seen it, I am just a waste person now, if you hope I can help, I am afraid that it will not work." ”
In less than half a year, he has encountered many things such as the death of his father, the seizure of Xiangyang, and even the defection of his staff officers, and he is naturally stimulated, thinking that he is just a failed person and is not worth continuing to live here.
As a result, Lu Shikui immersed himself in alcohol every day, hoping to anesthetize himself with alcohol and keep himself from recalling those devastating memories.
"Alas. You haven't tried it yet, why can't you say it?" Zheng Shipang frowned slightly, and couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration, but when he thought of his future career, he still raised his spirit and continued to persuade: "And I believe that your father doesn't want to see you become like this." Drinking all day, what's that?"
"Hmph. If not, then what do you want me to do? Do you continue to be a general? Don't forget, because of me, that Xiangyang was almost taken away by the Tartars. Lu Shikui replied angrily: "That's it, what else do you think I can do?"
Zheng Shipang immediately lowered his head, and after encouraging himself in his heart, he said, "Of course not." It's just that as a former friend, I don't think you can continue like this. ”
"No, then tell me, what should I do? Continue to be an officer and guard this Xiangyang? But this Xiangyang belongs to you now, and I don't need it anymore. Lu Shikui replied with self-deprecation, he always felt a sense of barrier for Zheng Shipang, and he was unwilling to meet him more.
Zheng Shipang said: "Indeed! But even if you are not a general, it does not mean that you cannot continue to protect Xiangyang! For example, now, I have a chance." ”
