Chapter 20 Lou Lu Enrolls in Jiananyuan Dai Ming Returns to the Innovation Army (3)

Northern Qi Dynasty Hall
"Your Majesty, General Bai Xin led a thousand light cavalry back to Fengyuan last night. This is the information about Lubei that he submitted. Please read it over." It shows Qi Daocheng's trust in Yuan Chongwen.

Qi Daocheng received the information, looked at it for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Did the 3 people in Lubei really die in the sea of ​​flames?"

"Your Majesty, the lighthouse in Lubei is extinguished, and the light cavalry led by Bai Xin can't go deep into the darkness. On the outside of Lubei City, traces of fire were found. Judging from the only scope of exploration, it should be artificially created. This kind of ring device ignites the surrounding land without any gaps, and the Ministry of Tiangong has already investigated the scene, but it cannot be confirmed that it is the flame of the Lubei Lighthouse." Yuan Chongwen explained, in fact, the white light this time Xin's investigation did not go deep into the ruins of Lubei City, nor did he see any traces of the so-called lost people.

"Then according to my understanding, this time more than a thousand cavalry surveyed the site, they didn't even touch the gate of Lubei City, they didn't even see the corpse of a citizen of Lubei City, and they didn't even encounter any potential enemies. Then What is the purpose of this survey?" Qi Daocheng questioned.

"Your Majesty has made it clear that our Northern Qi and Lu Bei have been friends for many years, and each has performed their own duties. Therefore, the northern defense has been lax for many years. Although no actual information was obtained during this survey, the incident of Lu Bei's fire disaster was implemented. Lu Bei was destroyed, and Mengzi, Feng Yuan and Yuan directly became our front lines. I implore Your Majesty to order General Shi Bingguo and General Bai Xin to speed up their recruitment, build fortifications, and expand the scope of patrols, so as not to be caught off guard." When Yuan Chongwen raised the matter of recruiting troops again, Qi Daocheng His brows were wrinkled.

"Yuan Shangshu, the national policy of cultivating health and well-being established by the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Taizu period has not changed until now. I have already issued an order to transfer 1 people from the city defense battalion to Fengyuan. The city defense battalion has not yet recruited vacancies. This matter should be delayed For the sake of it, large-scale recruitment is not allowed." Qi Daocheng said. "Yuan Shangshu, I have sent Dai Ming, Minister of Rites, to Tianji City. It is better to wait for Dai Shangshu to discuss how to formulate policies in the future."

Yuan Chongwen intended to find the corpses of the lost people through on-site surveys, and then asked Qi Daocheng to order more troops to strengthen the interpretation in his hands, but who knows, the light cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty has no way to leave the lighthouse envelope, let alone go deep into Lubei. Explore the ruins.

Canan Court

After the entrance examination, Lu Zhao and Lou Wan separated temporarily and moved into their assigned colleges.Lou Wan lived in the Wooden Temple, and Lu Zhao entered the Tianxingyuan.After the frenzied visit by the brothers, sisters, and students of the same level, Lu Zhao and Lou Wan were finally given a peaceful night to sleep well.

Lu Zhao took off the uniform of Tian Xingyuan, looked at the burnt coat in the corner of the dormitory, and recalled all the things that happened during the entrance examination during the day.He sat cross-legged, watched his inner breath, and kept looking for traces of Li Yuan Huofeng in his body.It's a pity that Lu Zhao couldn't get in touch with Li Yuan Huofeng again for half an hour.

"Dong dong dong" a light knock on the door interrupted Lu Zhao's thoughts. "Who is it?" He jumped out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it.It turned out to be Senior Brother Huang Weize who introduced himself to the Jiananyuan entrance test rules yesterday. Yes, this time Lu Zhao can indeed be called Senior Brother Huang Weize.

"Congratulations, junior, hahaha, I knew from the beginning that you and junior sister are both talented, and you will definitely be able to enter the school. I didn't expect it to be my top talent in Jiananyuan, hahahaha." Huang Weize fully implemented that as long as he is not embarrassed, he will It is someone else's famous saying.Lu Zhao listened to Huang Weize's words, and recalled that at the inn, although Huang Weize's speech skills were exquisite and he had both sides, he still revealed the meaning that it was difficult to pass the entrance test. I think, this person is the first person I know in Jiananyuan, it is also a kind of politeness to be decent.

"Senior Huang, this admission test is thanks to your information. Otherwise, Lou Wan and I might not have been able to join Jiananyuan so smoothly." Since it is a business exchange, Lu Zhao will not be at a disadvantage. If you get along for many days at night, those who are close to ink are black.

"Junior brother, you are welcome. I came here this time to tell you and Lou Wan some secrets about enrolling in Jiananyuan. It's better to be cautious, junior brother, what do you think?" Huang Weize desperately wanted to strike while the iron was hot, thinking that he was about to graduate from the Ziwei Academy, and if he had a relationship with the Minister of Rites, his official career would be smoother, but who Once thought that the amazing talents of Lou and Lu in the entrance examination made Huang Weize realize that these two people were opportunities that he had to seize.

"Then junior brother, can you let me come in and talk to you?" Lu Zhao realized that he was still blocking Huang Weize from the door, but seeing Huang Weize's half body squeezed into his room, he couldn't help laughing, My uncle is indeed powerful in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he can make people so shameless in order to get a relationship.But after thinking about it, what Huang Weize said was indeed true. I was thrown into the Jianan Garden when I first came to Northern Qi. I really needed such a guide to answer my doubts.So after apologizing to Huang Weize, let Huang Weize enter the door.

"Junior brother, there are four colleges in Jiananyuan, corresponding to the four forces in the court." Huang Weize moved a stool, sat next to Lu Zhao, and started to explain without much nonsense, as if he wanted to use all he knew information in exchange for the support and trust of the forces behind Lu Zhao. "I graduated from the Ziwei Academy where I was a student of Dai Shangshu, your referrer, Junior Brother Lu Zhao. The Heavenly Punishment Academy where you are located is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the Wooden Temple where my younger sister is located is directly under the Ministry of Tiangong. Wei Zhe, who met the two of you the day before yesterday, entered the Disciplinary Academy of Advising Doctors and Officials. The relationship between these four courtyards in Jiananyuan is closely related to the relationship between the various ministries in the court. Therefore, junior Lu Zhao, in this Jiananyuan It is better to distinguish between friend and foe.”
