Old Friend

"But it's not good for all these people to be children from the clan, so it's better to use a few other people."

Lu Fang frowned, and what his wife said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, that's it, the leader of this coaching team will use Wang Zisheng. He has done a good job in the personal army in front of the palace in recent years. He has made great contributions to the Hongzhou trip. He is also Foer's adopted son. He has nothing to say in both loyalty and ability. He can suppress those brats, and then pick a few senior team officials from the left and right No. 2 Middle School in front of the palace and set up a stand. You can do the specific things Shuxian, what else can you do if you are not allowed to do things for your husband.

Who knows who is the clan and nephew, who is better than you? "Lu Shuxian smiled. This expression of a child rarely appears on her when she was with her husband. Obviously, she was very happy with Lu Fang's expression "I'll be assured to do things." She stood up and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back to the city now, and strive to get up tomorrow. This matter is one day earlier, and there will be a benefit of preparing for it one day earlier."

Lu Fang also stood up and said, "I'm lucky, my wife!" After Lu Shuxian left, she sat back on the low couch. As soon as she reached out to get the wine glass, she felt a stinging pain in her right shoulder and couldn't help but exclaim.

Shen Liniang heard the sound and asked urgently: "What's wrong? But the old injury has occurred?"

Lu Fang tried it, but felt that his right shoulder was as if he was pricked with a needle, and it seemed to be frozen. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It must have been injured by the butt recoil during the test shot just now. I thought it was nothing serious."

Shen Liniang quickly took off Lu Fang's clothes and exposed her skin on her shoulders. She saw that her right shoulder had already been black and swollen, and she seemed to be steamed with steamed buns. She couldn't help but feel anxious and angry, and said angrily: "You are so seriously injured, why are you still drinking? Don't you know that you should avoid drinking when you have any external injuries?" She quickly asked the maid to ask the doctor not to mention it.

Lu Fang smiled bitterly and said, "I was shocked, but I didn't expect it to be so heavy, but it was not as heavy as Jin Chuang. It should be fine if I took a few sips of wine!"

"Why is it okay? Don't you know what your identity is now? Many people are pointing at you to live, but you just don't care about them. Do you even care about my mother and I?" Hearing Lu Fang's defense, Shen Liniang couldn't help but burst into tears, leaning on her husband's shoulder and crying quietly.

Lu Fang was already injured on his shoulders, but when Shen Liniang pressed him, he almost shouted in pain, but he felt the warmth of Liniang's cheek on his shoulders, and a low cry came from his ears. He felt a little sore in his heart for no reason, and there was a little more apology: "This is mine, don't worry, Liniang, I won't care about my body so much in the future."

Li Niang seemed to have not heard Lu Fang's words and continued to say: "I am a lonely woman, and my family and elders have long died. Unlike the sisters of the Lu family and the sister Yuancui, one is smart and capable, who can serve as half a family for you. The other is a little princess from Jiangxi. The number of subordinates and families left behind is not counted. It's like I have nothing but a sword. I can only try every means to make you feel more comfortable..."

When Lu Shuxian said this, Lu Fang had already understood the other party's feelings. His feelings were that he saw that Lu Shuxian and Zhong Yuancui had a lot of tribe members just now, and the other was busy writing letters to his brother, but he was alone. He felt sore and had to comfort him. It took a long time to coax Shen Liniang a little better. At this time, the doctor arrived and quickly observed Lu Fang's injuries. After the doctor carefully diagnosed, he said that his muscles and bones were fine. He only used a cold compress on a towel and applied ointment. After the treatment was finished, Lu Fang remembered the two maids sent by Shen Liniang in the house yesterday, and smiled casually: "You sent the two maids in my house, right?"

Chen Liniang nodded and asked, "Why did my husband mention them? What are you doing wrong? Liniang will definitely take care of her when she returns."

"That's not!" Lu Fang replied quickly. He didn't want the two of them to be punished for no reason: "They did a good job, but I was a little unaccustomed. It would be fine if I got up and changed my clothes for me. They even put on wooden clogs for me. I'm not without hands and feet!"

"So that's it!" Chen Liniang smiled and said, "Isn't this normal? You are too mediocre, my husband, you are already a great minister, and you are a king and abdicated. Even if you are a rich man in Hangzhou, there will be several suitable personal maids in the room. For example, Li Yanhui and Li, deputy envoy Li, there are six maids who rest in the room at night, of which two are just in the toilet bucket, but they are all young girls!"

"This?" Lu Fang couldn't help but speechless when he heard this. He also knew that Li Yanhui was born in the Guanzhong gentry, Zhongming Ding Food Family, famously said that enjoyment and enjoyment. What Chen Liniang said must be true, but he always felt that there was something wrong with what Liniang said, but he couldn't say it for a while, and he couldn't help but ponder.

Chen Liniang saw Lu Fang hesitating and laughed and said, "Mr., have you ever read the "Shangshu Hong Fan", which says, "Only, you only need to make blessings, only use power, only use jade food, and no ministers do good fortune, and no good fortune, and no good fortune, and no good fortune, and no good fortune, and no good fortune, and no good fortune, and the food and clothing of the ministers are the same as those of the subordinates, how can the people know the value of the king? How do you know the principle of the superiors and subordinates? The country has no principles, and the world will be in chaos. Therefore, the minister suffers so much, and it seems that he is a virtuous person, but in fact it is harmful to the family inside and the country outside. "After listening to Chen Liniang's truth, Lu Fang couldn't help but feel silent. He couldn't think of it. The ancient exploiting class could even make up such a great truth, which was similar to the defense of modern corrupt officials in court for organization and public interest. It was indeed "there was nothing new under the sun". The minds of the exploiting class in ancient and modern times were similar. But when you think about it, as a time traveler, you should not be too far away from the current economic and historical status of the time. If you exceed half a step, you are a hero, and if you exceed one step, you will be hung on a cross as a barbecue. Besides, the girl's soft little hands feels good. Thinking of this, Lu Fang's determination can't help but shake.

"Li Niang, what you said is just a little bit of a truth. But now the entrepreneurship is difficult and the people are not well-off. As the master, I have to show off my appearance. The soldiers are still drinking the porridge of vegetables. I will build a large-scale construction of carving beams and paintings!" Lu Fang coughed and said, "Let's do this. Since the two maids have been trained, let's stay here, but I won't be the example, and I won't be the example!"

Chen Liniang and Lu Fang have been together for many years. How could she not hear her husband's idea of ​​wanting to eat meat and not getting fishy, ​​so she quickly got up and bowed: "Liniang knows, and she will never do this again in the future." In the end, she couldn't help but laugh. Lu Fang tried her best to tighten her face, but after a while, she couldn't help laughing together.

Lu Fang and Chen Liniang had dinner together, so they went out to get on their horses and went back to the city. As soon as they entered the inner city, Chen Yun walked over with a gloomy face. Just as they were about to greet him, Chen Yun had already crossed his hands and saluted to Lu Fang. He whispered: "Lord, something happened in Guangling!"

Lu Fang was slightly stunned and immediately responded: "If you have anything to say in the mansion!"

Chen Yun nodded and followed Lu Fang. The group arrived at the mansion, sat down in the study, and left and right. Chen Yun said with a gloomy face: "There is news from Guangling that after Yang Wo was killed by Xu Wen and Zhang Hao, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao had another dispute. They fought each other and Zhang Hao was attacked and killed by Xu Wen. Now Yang Longyan has appointed Xu Wen as the commander of the left and right yamen of the personal army. The military and political power in Huainan has fallen into the hands of this person."

Lu Fang nodded: "Xu and Zhang are both ambitious people. In the past, they just had a strong enemy outside. Once Yang Wo died, the foreign enemy left, and the internal ghosts arose and the self-indulgent. I have also dealt with Xu Wen, and I am not an unreasonable and warlike person. This is a good thing for us!"

Chen Yun's face became more and more ugly, as if it was ashen. He said in a deep voice: "Lord, Xu and Zhang both frightened me more than 20 days ago."

"What?" Lu Fang frowned: "What's going on? The news of Guangling has been spread to Hangzhou for as long as five days and as little as three days. This important thing must be the fastest channel. How did it take for so long? What's going on?"

"My subordinates are incompetent! Please punish the lord!" Chen Yun knelt down and kowtowed and apologized: "We have done a major event in Guangling. From Li Yan, we were almost caught by the Huainan army in one fell swoop, so this situation happened."

"So that's it!" Lu Fang frowned and sighed. Then he reached out to help Chen Yun up and comforted him: "This is nothing to do. It must be that Li Yan is too eye-catching. Mr. Chen, you must learn from the lesson and start over. Next time we have to pay attention. You must contact these details in a single line. Even if someone is caught, you will not be able to follow the clues and catch them all in one place."

Seeing that Lu Fang not only did not blame him, but instead expressed comfort, Chen Yun couldn't help but burst into tears. He knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a deep voice: "There is another thing that the ministers must report. This matter is probably not that simple!"

"Not that simple?" Lu Fang asked in surprise: "Is there anything hidden behind it?"

"Yes, although our detailed work in Guangling this time has suffered heavy losses, there are still four or five who have not been involved with Li Yan. The information they sent back shows that this operation was directed by a man named Yan Keqiu under Xu Wen. This person is Xu Wen's confidant and is highly trusted. After Xu Wen became the commander of the left and right yamen, the first thing he did was to appoint this person as the Sima of Yangzhou and take charge of the garrison." Speaking of this, Chen Yun raised his head and showed a strange expression on his face: "There is one of the detailed work in Guangling that is my old subordinate. After this matter, he went to peek at Yan Keqiu and found that this person looked very much like an old acquaintance of mine."

"Old acquaintance?" When Lu Fang heard this, an unknown sign flashed in his heart and asked quickly: "Who is it?"

It was like a bullet that squeezed out two words from Chen Yun's teeth: "Lu Xiang!"

"Lu Xiang?" Lu Fang tried hard to search in his mind for a long time before he realized: "You are talking about the leader of the Lu family in Danyang who was destroyed by me. Didn't he besieged and killed by you outside Guangling City that time, and fell into the river and died?"

"Yes, this is this person. When I surrounded and killed him that time, he was seriously injured and rolled into the river. However, when an idle person came, I didn't have time to search for the body, so I had to leave first! I guess he shouldn't have died, so I was rescued, and later surrendered to Xu Wen's command."

Lu Fang stood up and paced back and forth. The memory of Lu Xiang gave him was too deep. In the tent late at night, the blades were as cold as frost, as if all this happened yesterday. He suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Can you be sure that Yan Keqiu is Lu Xiang?"

Chen Yun hesitated for a moment and nodded, "At least 70% sure. My subordinate rarely speaks, but he is very sure after speaking. He said that Yan Keqiu had several scars on his face and could not see his original face clearly, but his body and behavior looked very similar to Lu Xiang. You know, lord, that often this feeling is more reliable than anything else."

Lu Fang nodded, and he also had a sense of intuition in his heart, believing that what Chen Yun said was true. He thought for a moment and ordered in a deep voice: "You are looking for a few Danyang children from the army, who are familiar with Lu Xiang, go to Guangling to verify it, and determine whether Yan Keqiu is Lu Xiang."

Chen Yun nodded: "I will make arrangements immediately, and come and report to the lord immediately if there is a result."
