Lady Wan Guan

Lu Yiming came to the government office and saw that there were soldiers from the Peking University Camp inside and outside, and knew that the situation was not good.

Just as he was about to walk in, the guard behind him was stopped.

"Master Gu has an order that except General Lu, no one else is allowed to enter."

Lu Yiming's eyes widened and he was filled with domineering attitude.

The guard said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Master Gu and His Royal Highness were assassinated today, so we have to be cautious. Please forgive me, General Lu."

If it was Lu Yiming's temper, he would turn around and leave, but Duan Lei and the three hundred brothers were still in Gu Zhouting's hands, so he had to swallow his anger.

"You are waiting here."

After saying that, he strode inside.

Gu Zhou stopped and stood in front of the door of the meeting hall to greet him.

As soon as Lu Yiming saw Gu Zhouting, he smiled and stepped forward quickly, clasping his hands and saying, "Since I got the news that Mr. Gu is coming to Dengzhou, Lu has been looking forward to it day and night, and finally he has come."

Gu Zhou stopped returning the greeting and said tepidly: "Gu has obeyed the emperor's order and traveled day and night. He was afraid that the situation in Dengzhou would change, but then he thought about it. With General Lu in charge of Dengzhou, Dengzhou will definitely be safe and sound. Who knows? I once thought..."

Lu Yiming's heart skipped a beat. Are we going to start questioning him now?

"Lord Gu, you don't know. After the news of Prince Suhe's death came, the Dayuan tribe often came to harass him. Lu was busy with the war, and it was inevitable that he had neglected the affairs in the city. No, we just received military information, saying that there was another one. A group of Dayuan cavalry were wandering twenty miles outside the city, and Lu did not dare to take it lightly. He made sure that there was no other movement among them, and then he hurried over to see Mr. Gu."

"General Lu is responsible for the safety of the northern territory. He really has no skills at all. However, if there is civil unrest, I'm afraid the city will be ruined without the Dayuan people taking action. General Lu, don't you think so?"

Lu Yiming smiled awkwardly: "What Mr. Gu said is absolutely true."

Gu Zhouting turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Yiming lowered his attitude: "Please, Mr. Gu."

Gu Zhouting was not polite to him and walked in front. Although they had the same official rank, he was a Beijing official, and at this time he also had the status of an imperial envoy.

Lu Yiming, who was walking behind, looked at Master Qiu.

Master Qiu's eyebrows drooped, as if telling Lu Yiming that this Master Gu was quite difficult to deal with.

As soon as he arrived, he took control of the government office.

Lu Yiming knew it well. He had worked with Ji Yunchen before. Ji Yunchen was impulsive and not so scheming, so he was easy to deal with, but Gu Zhouting was difficult to deal with.

The number one scholar, and he won the first place with three consecutive wins. In a few years, he went from a small editor in the Hanlin Academy to the minister of Dali Temple. He was highly valued by the emperor and feared by all the officials. This kind of person naturally has extraordinary means and ability. Strategy.

Lu Yiming had a headache and regretted not listening to the warning from the man in Beijing.

Targeted the wrong person the first time.

Now we have to lower our posture and get over what happened today first.

Everyone sat down in the meeting hall.

Lu Yiming asked: "I heard that His Highness the County Prince is also here. I wonder where His Highness the County Prince is?" Gu Zhou stopped and said slowly and calmly: "General Ji is interrogating Duan Lei. General Lu, your men don't know how to do things. The common people were quietly listening to the officer conveying the emperor's compassionate words to the people of Dengzhou. Commander Duan rushed over with a group of troops and started killing, almost causing Gu and General Ji to be assassinated by assassins in the chaos."

Lu Yiming made a shocked expression: "Does anyone want to assassinate Mr. Gu and General Ji? Have the assassins been caught?"

Gu Zhouting regretted, "He ran away."

Lu Yiming then expressed his anger: "It's unreasonable. Master Gu came here to solve the food shortage, and someone is so bold and dares to assassinate the imperial envoy. It seems that some people have gone crazy for this selfish gain."

Gu Zhouting raised his eyebrows: "Listening to what General Lu said, it seems that General Lu knows who sent the assassin."

"Master Gu, there is actually no shortage of food in Dengzhou City. The grain stored in the hands of those big households is enough for the people in the city to eat until next year, but they are unwilling to take out even a grain of food. Lu and Master Qiu have lobbied many times, but they still refuse to let go. There is nothing Lu can do against them, after all, the supply of military rations depends on them.”

"But Mr. Gu came here on the emperor's order. If he threatens them with the emperor's order, they dare not disobey the emperor's order, and they will have to endure the pain and cut their flesh. Are they willing?"

Gu Zhouting sneered in his heart: This is the blame.

"It's strange that when Lu received Mr. Qiu's request for help, because he was too worried about the safety of Mr. Qiu and His Royal Highness, and there was military situation outside the city, he didn't think carefully and sent Duan Lei, a stubborn man, with a The people who had Zhitong to the end went to rescue the siege. What you don’t know is that Duan Lei fought bravely and was not afraid of death. He was a fierce general. He always carried out Lu’s orders without compromise. Lu asked him to suppress the mob. When rescuing Master Gu and His Highness the County Prince, he didn’t look at the situation and didn’t use his brain, hey…”

Lu Yiming shook his head.

At this time, Ji Yunchen walked in.

As soon as he saw Lu Yiming, Ji Yunchen's eyes lit up and he was so excited that he stepped forward and hugged Lu Yiming: "General Lu, after three years of separation, I miss Ji so much."

Lu Yiming was a little overwhelmed by Ji Yunchen's enthusiasm. Is their relationship so good?
Well, they did get along fairly well back then.

When Ji Yunchen held Shangguan Nanzhi's body and cried uncontrollably, no one could stop him. Only his words could make Ji Yunchen listen.

Lu Yiming was deeply moved: "Lu misses His Highness the County Prince very much."

Gu Zhou stopped coughing twice before the two people separated.

"Your Highness, how is the situation during Lei's interrogation?"

Ji Yunchen immediately changed his expression and said angrily: "I was killed."

Lu Yiming's smile had not yet gone away, and his face suddenly froze.

Ji Yunchen said: "General Lu, that guy named Duan is so angry. He actually said that they are just a few unruly people, so what if they are killed? Are they unruly people? That is kneeling on the ground and piously shouting long live the mountain and thanking the emperor. Dear ordinary people, if this reaches the Emperor, what will the Emperor think of the Zhenbei Army? How will he think of General Lu?"

Lu Yiming took a breath and cursed in his heart: Duan Lei, the stupid man, wouldn't he say that he was too worried and acted excessively?

"Ji has worked with General Lu and knows very well that General Lu is a man who has strict military discipline and loves the people like a son. Even if a soldier accidentally steps on the people's crops, he will be scolded... Ordinarily, this person should be handed over to General Lu He came to deal with it, but Ji also knew that General Lu valued friendship and was afraid that General Lu would be embarrassed, so he took care of it for General Lu. Ji would never tolerate the existence of such a person who slanders General Lu."

The corners of Lu Yiming's eyes and mouth twitched, and he suppressed a sentence: "Commander Duan made a big mistake, and he should be killed according to military regulations. Your Highness the County Prince did a good job."

The man had already been killed, how could he offend Ji Yunchen for Duan Lei?

At this moment, Gao Shi came in and whispered a few words in Gu Zhouting's ear, and Gu Zhouting's face changed slightly.
