Chang Yuan's affirmative tone startled the prince.

"Really, do you have any evidence?"

"This is what makes that man so powerful. All the people who could prove this have died that night. I asked several remnants of the Xionghuo Gang. They said that before that night, Lu Xuan had an affair with the Xionghuo Gang.

There was a conflict, but they didn't know the details. Those who knew, they all died that night.

Lu Xuan has not been diligent in government affairs since he became the county captain. Most things were left to his unscrupulous commander Zhang Xiaojing. But that night, he suddenly came to the fore. Although I have no evidence, I am almost certain that he

It was definitely planned in advance. Everything that night was in his plan."

"Why are you so sure?" The prince didn't believe Chang Yuan's judgment.

"The reason is very simple. His Highness the Crown Prince was unaware of something. That night, he claimed that the bad guys under his command were outnumbered and were forced to retreat, and then they approached the imperial city. But I learned about the bad guys who participated in the action that night.

, although there were many injuries, but no one died from the beginning to the end.

They were outnumbered and chased for miles. But no one died in the end? This can only mean one thing, that is, Lu Xuan's team was in control of the situation from beginning to end. Whether they were outnumbered or forced to retreat.

It’s all to lead the people from the Xionghuo Gang towards the imperial city and create an illusion of rebellion.”

"Once they get close to the imperial city, no matter whether they have treasonous intentions or not, they must be treasonous. Presumably the general of the Jinwu Guard is also part of his plan." The prince took over Chang Yuan's words.

After clarifying the whole incident, the two of them were silent for a while.

"This man is so brave!" After a long time, the prince said.

"It's not just that he's bold. I'm afraid this Lieutenant Lu is not a rule-abiding person. But Your Highness, maybe we need someone who doesn't abide by the rules."

"That makes sense..."

............

Chang'an City once again returned to calm. Lu Xuan once again got into his backyard and began to improve his life in the Tang Dynasty. But this time, he could have a premonition that something seemed to be brewing under the calm surface of Chang'an City.

A new storm has been planted.

To the big guys in Chang'an City, the Xionghuo Gang is just a small role. It can't be any smaller. But no one can ignore the position of this small role. Because the Xionghuo Gang controls more than half of the government projects in Wannian County

When the Xionghuo Gang fell, the original process was immediately disrupted. Simply put, some balance was broken.

The most important thing is that Lu Xuan was in the limelight this time and attracted the attention of one person. That was Li Linfu, the right minister of the court. Because of the Xionghuo Gang incident, Li Linfu was reprimanded on the spot by Li Longji in the court that day. Although it was later proven that he was not a royal family member.

Lost. But in the end, I lost face.

When Lu Xuan was supreme in the court, he had no choice but to determine this matter. There was no way, he was not a god, and there was no way to determine Li Longji's reaction. Offending Li Linfu could be said to be the only drawback of that action. But it was also

It's not without benefits. At least the prince sent a lot of things. In addition to a batch of old armors and shields prepared by Jing Zhaoyin.

The prince actually removed some equipment from his six guards and gave them to the bad guys under Lu Xuan. To put it simply, he offended Li Linfu. But it was a good outcome for the prince. Although at this time, the prince's power was completely powerless.

Against Li Linfu, but it is still somewhat useful after all.

Zhang Xiaojing is very happy. He originally came from the military. He has always wanted to train his subordinates into the kind of army that can fight tough battles. However, the supplies and equipment cannot keep up, and he has been unable to use his strength. Now the new equipment has arrived.

He immediately started to implement his plan. Lu Xuan had no choice but to warn him to keep a low profile. He was training troops in Chang'an City. If this matter spread, it would mean that they wanted to rebel...

Lu Xuan concentrated on guarding for a while, preparing for Li Linfu's counterattack. But in the end nothing happened... Perhaps for Li Linfu, Lu Xuan was too weak. So weak that the other party thought that dealing with him personally would be a problem.

It was a loss of face. Therefore, Lu Xuan never got the revenge he imagined. This made Lu Xuan breathe a sigh of relief and fell silent again.

His silence made many people staring at him feel a little disappointed. After all, Lu Xuan had been in the limelight before, and many people thought he would take advantage of the trend. As a result, this guy neither visited brothels nor went to the boat. He was bored all day long.

At home, he doesn't even take a step out of the door. This greatly disappoints the eyes of those who try to find flaws in him.

In this atmosphere, Zhang Xiaojing suddenly came to the door.

"Do you have any plans tonight, Lord County Lieutenant?"

"Of course, I have just figured out a recipe for stewed mutton, and I plan to try it tonight. Let's eat together." Lu Xuan invited him casually. This made Zhang Xiaojing look helpless. This county captain is good at everything.

, I just like to take a few friends to his house to have dinner, or to try dishes for him.

It is undeniable that the county captain's craftsmanship is second to none. At least most of the dishes he cooks are very delicious. With Zhang Xiaojing's salary, if he went to the tavern under his name, he would not be able to afford a few meals.

But the county captain also made mistakes sometimes. At that time, tasting dishes became a kind of torture.

Zhang Xiaojing shook his head to get rid of those not-so-good memories. Then he spoke.

"Your Excellency, the county captain, eradicated the Xionghuo Gang for Wannian County. Zhang Xiaojing would like to thank you for Wannian County."

Lu Xuan gave Zhang Xiaojing a strange look.

"What's wrong? Do you want to treat me to a meal? Or treat me to some wine?"

"Uh... Lord County Lieutenant, you can come to Tianjin Bridge to find me when the moon rises tonight."

"Tianjin Bridge..." Zhang Xiaojing said and left, leaving only Lu Xuan thoughtfully.

That night, the weather was clear and cloudless. When the moon rose, Lu Xuan arrived at Tianjin Bridge on time.

"Meet you under the moon? It's a pity that you are not a beauty. Otherwise, I could have chanted, 'Under the moon, we meet on the willow branches, and we meet after dusk.'" Lu Xuan smiled and teased.

"Under the moon, on the willow branches, people meet at dusk..." Zhang Xiaojing repeated this poem, his eyes slightly brightening.

"The county captain is not only resourceful and brave, but also has outstanding literary talent. Zhang Xiaojing admires him."

"Forget it, Zhang Xiaojing. You are not the kind of person who flatters others. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Nothing else, I just want you to see Chang'an City...the real Chang'an City..."
