Chapter 378 Cao Lu
Yang Mu didn't know about the affairs of Prince Ding's Mansion.

She took Yin Shuang to the military camp next to the palace, handed Yin Shuang to the reserve army Jin Yao, and then went to the weapons room.

New recruits who have just joined the army, unless they are as capable as Yin Zhu, must undergo recruit training. In a short time, Yin Shuang will not leave the recruit camp.

A large number of steel sabers were finally refined in the weapons room and were being tested. Yang Mu personally looked at them for a while, then signed and distributed them to the cavalry.

At this rate, it will only take more than a month for everyone in the Suzaku Army to be equipped with steel swords.

But Yang Mu still felt that it was slow, so he ordered Duoduo to start the stove and speed up the process of making steel knives.

The cavalry battalion that received new weapons did simulated fighting and formation training in the school grounds, while Yang Mu returned to the palace.

She wants to meet someone.

When we returned to the palace, it was just in time for lunch.

The Suzaku Army has strict military discipline. Even during lunch time, they eat in batches and will not delay serious business.

So when Cao Lu came, there were many guards at the entrance of the palace.

The little official who followed Cao Lu rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, how about we come back another day?"

Cao Lu shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid that when we are not relaxed, we just need to act smarter. Is it possible that they can still follow us?"

In fact, the two of them came today to see Concubine Xue and had something to tell her.

When the guards brought Cao Lu and the clerk to the duty room, Yang Mu was preparing to eat. When he saw the two of them, he didn't get up. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this Mr. Cao?"

Cao Lu glanced at Yang Mu displeasedly. He was Princess Ding's biological father and Yang Mu's serious elder.

But not only did this little girl fail to behave as a junior, she even sat here with such arrogance.

Seeing that Cao Lu didn't speak, Yang Mu said calmly: "Why, isn't it Master Cao?"

Cao Lu looked at Yang Mu with a stern face and said in a lecturing tone: "Prince Concubine, haven't the Yang family taught you to respect your elders?"

Suppress this little girl first, then you will be able to act better.

Yang Mu blinked, picked up a big steamed bun, took a bite, and said, "Didn't the Fang family teach you the Lord of Heaven and Earth?"

First the king, then the relatives, first the court, then the home, this is the rule of Dashun.

Cao Lu's face was very ugly. Did Yang Mu ask him to salute first?dream!

No, this girl said that the Fang family taught him the rules?He even insinuated his identity as his adopted son-in-law!

Outrageous!

Yang Mu said coldly: "According to rulers and ministers, I am a princess and Master Cao is a minister; according to rank, I am the first rank, while Master Cao is only the fifth rank. According to official positions, I am the fourth rank and deputy commander, and Master Cao is no more. The Fifth Grade Supervisor of Shanglinyuan."

No matter what, Cao Lu should salute first.

Cao Lu said displeasedly: "I am an elder!"

Yang Mu blinked and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it."

Cao Lu: "..."

Yang Mu sneered, I don't even want to recognize the Cao family, who are you?
When she saw Cao Lu trying to pull it apart, she immediately called out, "Yinzhu!"

Yin Zhu came in from the outside wearing armor and cupped his fists.

Yang Mu ordered: "Take Mr. Cao and his entourage into the palace and watch carefully. Mr. Cao doesn't know the rules very well. Don't let them bump into the noble!"

Cao Lu took a breath, looked at Yang Mu in disbelief, and said angrily: "Don't bully others too much!"

Yang Mu looked up at him and asked, "Master Cao, a foreigner, entered the palace where the concubine lived. I sent someone to follow him to avoid breaking the rules of the palace. Why, Master Cao thinks it's inappropriate?" Cao Lu said angrily: "I'm here to stay in the palace. So many times and no one was ever watching!”

Yang Mu nodded and said: "Thank you, Lord Cao, for informing the former centurion Xue Qian of his negligence. I will report Xue Qian to the Yushitai. Don't worry, Lord Cao. I will make it clear that you will be the first to report."

Cao Lu almost choked to death and said anxiously: "I didn't mean that! Don't even try to sow discord!"

Yang Mu looked at him amusedly, it was ridiculous that such a cheerful guy could be the supervisor of Shanglinyuan.

Yang Mu wanted to see Cao Lu because he was curious. Now that he knew that he was impatient, he was too lazy to argue with him and waved his hand.

Yin Zhu took a step forward and stood in front of Cao Lu, preventing him from seeing Yang Mu's face. Then she made a gesture of inviting him and said, "Don't you still have official duties, Mr. Cao? Please come!"

Where else would Cao Lu want to see the address of a peach tree at this moment?That's just an excuse.

But Yang Mu was obviously not easy to mess with, and he didn't take him as an elder seriously at all, so he could only leave first. If he really started to make a noise, he had no reason.

Cao Lu angrily threw away his sleeves and left first.

Yin Zhu followed Cao Lu out of the duty room and waved to a group of people standing nearby. A dozen people followed Cao Lu.

Cao Lu suddenly turned around and was startled.

Yin Zhu explained: "Subordinates, please wait for Master Cao's orders."

She said this without any respect in her eyes or expression.

Cao Lu's chest heaved with anger. He originally thought that Yinzhu was the only one following him, but he thought that a woman could not stand two grown men.

They never expected that more than a dozen people were following them.

Don't think about it, you can't do anything except "official business" today.

As Cao Lu walked away, he gritted his teeth and decided secretly that he must find a way to reveal to the Yushitai that Yang Mu was disrespectful!

……

An hour later, Yin Zhu came back to life.

"Vice Commander, Mr. Cao was absent-minded along the way. He looked at a few places at random and then left with his people."

Yang Mu asked: "What is he very interested in along the way?"

Yin Zhu said: "Everything else is normal. I just occasionally looked in the direction of the Golden Jade Palace a few times. It looked like I wanted to go there, but I couldn't get rid of us."

Yang Mu pondered slightly, the Jinyu Palace is the dormitory where Concubine Xue lives. Does Cao Lu want to see Concubine Xue?

Cao Lu is old enough to be the father of Concubine Xue, so he is definitely not in love with Concubine Xue, or it is something else.

What is the relationship between the Cao family and Concubine Xue?
Concubine Xue is the sister of Xue Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army, and Xue Zhi is a confidant of Empress Dowager Sheng.

According to Tang Jing, Queen Mother Sheng has already united with the Cao family.

So, Queen Mother Sheng wants to make some splash in the palace to deal with herself?
After he took over the palace, the Royal Forest Army could no longer send news to Concubine Xue.

A few days ago, Yang Mu typed back the list of people entering and leaving the palace. Without legitimate reasons, the palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to enter or leave the palace, which blocked another road.

Empress Dowager Sheng was forced to let Cao Lu come to the palace.

It seems that Cao Lu is here to deliver news to Concubine Xue today, right?
After thinking about this matter, Yang Mu was curious, wondering what news Cao Lu wanted to send to Concubine Xue?
"Yinzhu!" Yang Mu said, "Go to Cao's house tonight, hide outside Cao Lu's room, and find out the purpose of his visit today!"

"Yes!" Yinzhu left excitedly.

Yang Mu was amused, but Yin Zhu seemed to be more curious than himself.
