I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 141 King Shun enters Liangzhou

After parting with Xiao Feng, Wan Jinlan took old man Lu back to the village.

"Big cousin just let you go out of the house by yourself, and didn't send anyone to follow?"

Old man Lu didn't want to mention that Lu Yan was an unfilial son who had no father but Wang's in his eyes, "I sent a servant and asked me to rush back."

"What if he looks for you at the wrong time?"

Lu Yuan glared at her angrily, "My niece, you can't think of a way, I'm here to do things for you."

Wan Jinlan was speechless, she thought that the old man had arranged everything properly, but she didn't expect to come out without caring about anything.

She was really convinced.

"Well, I'll buy you a small house in Gu'a Town. After a while, you'll have someone deliver a letter to your eldest cousin. He knows where you are. In the future, he will send you something. I'll find out what you're doing."

"Oh, by the way, Uncle, didn't Big Cousin know that you can make firearms?"

Lu Yuan glanced at her, "Of course he knows that I like to play with those things, but 30 years ago, my hand was injured once, and he didn't allow me to play with those. Since he passed the exam and left home, I secretly here we go."

The two chatted together on horseback, and Wan Jinlan knew more about old man Lu's past.

Suddenly she thought of the killer sent by the Chen family who had been chasing and killing old man Lu all the way, and Lu Yan, who was the county magistrate in Hua County, she was always a little worried.

King Shun is dead, why did the Chen family still arrest Old Man Lu?With the methods of the Chen family, it is very easy to find Lu Yan.

"Uncle, will the people who hunted you down find out big cousin and threaten you again?"

Lu Yuan said hesitantly: "It should be... no way, Liangzhou is a border land, who can stretch such a long hand?"

Wan Jinlan was not optimistic.

When she returned to the cottage, she sent Yu Song to Hua County to keep an eye on the Lu Mansion secretly, and if there was anything unusual, she would directly report to Xiao Feng to know.

The blacksmiths Wan Jinlan found were not enough, so she found a few reliable and strong blacksmiths from the cottage to listen to Lu Yuan's instructions, and paid fifty yuan a day, but Lu Yuan didn't let them do anything else, just tossed and turned Strike iron and copper.

The Firearms Workshop had begun to take shape, and Wan Jinlan attached great importance to it. He went there several times a day and watched old man Lu seriously busy.

The iron and copper she brought back are naturally not enough in the long run, but they will not be used up so quickly in a short time.

Old man Lu has a lot of ideas. He wants to make a mechanical crossbow, and the blueprint has already been drawn.There are organic crossbows in the Wei army, but the lethality is not as strong as that improved by old man Lu.

Now that there is no one in the firearm workshop, the progress of what old man Lu wants to do is very slow. He thinks about making fire thorns first. This thing has been improved by him. It is small in size and powerful, and it can be used when it is not prepared. lethality.He promises to be twice as powerful as the fire thorns in the army.

Wan Jinlan had just returned from transporting a batch of saltpeter, was cleaning her hands and preparing to eat, when she heard the vibration of the ground.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously went to the back of the mountain. When she got there, she saw old man Lu getting up from the ground with a dark face and patting the dirt on his body.

The blacksmith was far away, and he was terrified at this time.

"Uncle, are you injured?"

Lu Yuan pouted the dirt out of his mouth, and shook his head as calmly as possible, "It's all right, don't make a fuss."

Wan Jinlan looked at the house in the corner of the couch, and felt that the house might experience a lot of hardships in the future.

While Wan Jinlan was busy working on his firearms shop, Xiao Feng had already received the news that King Shun would come to reward the three armies on behalf of the emperor to handle pensions and other matters.

Yu Song followed Wan Jinlan's order to keep an eye on Lu's mansion, also went to meet Xiao Feng, and told Wan Jinlan what he was worried about.

Xiao Feng felt bad when he received the news that King Shun would come to Liangzhou.

He didn't think that King Shun couldn't find out that Lu Yuan's son was a county magistrate in Liangzhou.

King Shun has been in court for many years, although he was arranged by Emperor Jian'an, he himself is not a fool.

Leaving aside the fact that Lu Yuan is his uncle, if his method of making firecrackers is spread, it will definitely cause competition among the four parties.

Xiao Feng lightly tapped the table with his fingers, his eyebrows darkened.

King Shun must die.

Xiao Feng's guess was correct. Before leaving Liangzhou, King Shun found out that Lu Yuan's son was in Renzhi County, Liangzhou. It just so happened that the people sent by the Chen family sent back the news that they were in Yongzhou before they died. Yongzhou is adjacent to Liangzhou. Therefore, Lu Yuan has no other possibility except to join Lu Yan.

The [-] imperial troops led by King Shun had already entered the boundary of Liangzhou, and this time there was no danger like what Xiao Minghuan encountered last time.

He didn't worry much about the official road that King Shun led his troops all the way. With the lessons learned from last time, unless Liangzhou Mu clearly wanted to rebel, there would be unexpected things happening here.

Li Wei also attached great importance to King Shun's entry into Liangzhou. Before King Shun entered Liangzhou, he sent his eldest son Li Bozhen and five hundred soldiers to meet him.

When he arrived in Hua County, King Shun lived in the house arranged by Li Wei.

That night he sent someone to Lu Yan's mansion, and Yu Song saw with his own eyes a group of two men in black jumping in like monkeys. The aura of these two people let Yu Song know that they were also from dark guards.

Yu Song didn't act rashly, but listened quietly.

King Shun's two secret guards searched around the Lu residence but failed to find Lu Yuan, so they tied up a servant who was stealing food in the kitchen.

The two easily took him out of the mansion and back to King Shun's residence. After questioning him, they came to the conclusion that old man Lu ran away from home in anger and disappeared.

King Shun thought he had heard wrong.

Great Wei ruled the world with filial piety, and he had never heard of father-in-law and daughter-in-law running away from home in discord.

"Could it be that Lu Yuan did this on purpose?"

I want to clear up the relationship between Lu Yan and him.

The dark guard twisted the boy's neck casually. Hearing King Shun's words, the dark guard asked, "Do you want your subordinates to arrest Lu Yan for questioning?"

King Shun shook his head, "There's no rush, we won't be able to let go until the king delivers an order tomorrow and Li Wei goes to the capital."

With Li Wei around, he didn't dare to act presumptuously in this area. Xiao Minghuan's lesson from the past is still there. He only has a mere thousand people. Compared with Li Wei, he is like a mantis holding a cart.

Li Wei ordered a secret guard to keep an eye on Lu Yan's house.

In the dead of night, Yu Song entered the Song residence where Xiao Feng was now.

Before Xiao Feng fell asleep, he nodded after seeing Yu Song.

"Go back to the cottage and tell Jinlan to let uncle hide better these days, and never contact Lu Yan."

After Yu Song took the order, he withdrew.

Xiao Feng knew what King Shun was scruples about, and it was a good thing if he had scruples.

The next day, King Shun changed into a prince's python robe, holding the imperial decree, and walked up to the gate of the state pastoral mansion in a big battle.

Li Wei had already been waiting in the mansion with his family.

After reading the imperial decree to confer Li Wei as Marquis of Zhenbei, Li Wei and his family received the decree to thank him.

King Shun's voice changed, "Your Majesty ordered that the Northern Marquis of Xuanzhen go to Beijing to attend the celebration banquet."
