Lin Jiabiyu

Lu Junzhao strode into the study of the outer courtyard, Xu Luwen and He Zhanpeng hurriedly got up and greeted him: "The general is here." Both of them were careful in their words, carefully looking at Lu Junzhao's expression.

Lu Junzhao nodded, stepped into the study, and called out to Lu Junqing, "Brother."

Lu Junqing had a gentle smile on his face. He heard from Changshou that Lin Wan woke up, but now seeing Lu Junzhao's suppressed joy and gentle expression on his eyebrows, he couldn't help laughing and sighing: "The girl is worried that you are tired. And sent Changshou over to say. Why are you up now?"

Lu Junzhao hummed, his eyes were filled with tenderness, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised, then he suddenly suppressed his expression, and responded with a tense face: "Ah Wan thinks too much. I'm fine. I was on the march and didn't sleep for three to five days. It’s also a common thing, this time it’s just a hurry on the road.”

Lu Junqing raised his eyebrows, holding a teacup in his hand, and glanced at Zhou Chuan at the door, remembering that Zhou Chuan, with gray hair and face full of anxiety, was talking anxiously about the two horses that were almost exhausted along the way, and then looked at Lu Junzhao at this moment. With an expression of indifference, he couldn't stop feeling emotional, and shook his head for a while and sighed.

Xu Luwen and He Zhanpeng looked at each other. Hearing Lu Junzhao's words, he was relieved at the same time. His previous ups and downs finally came to fruition—this man is willing to speak like this, that means he is in a great mood!

"General," Xu Luwen smiled and stood up, with excitement in his eyes, bowed his hands to Lu Junqing and Lu Junzhao and said, "I just told my uncle about the battle on the other side of the Yuanjiang River. After two days, they finally stopped. In this battle, no one could make further progress, but it was evenly matched. About 6000 people were lost on the eighth side of the grassland, and the Beiyan garrison probably suffered about 1 casualties. It was a bit tragic. There was a riot in Weiyuan City ahead, and the news spread to Yuanjiang. Today, people in Hecheng are in panic, and the city gates are closed, and they dare not let people into the city easily."

When Xu Luwen said this, he sighed and stroked his beard.After a pause, he looked at Lu Junzhao's face and coughed: "The old man also heard some gossip, saying that Yuchi Jingde's son was killed by someone from the Weimeng Grassland. Furious, Yuchi Jingde went directly to the Weimeng Grassland In the rear, Weimeng Khan's supplies were cut off, and even Weimeng Khan was injured in the back. Now Weimeng Khan's life and death are unknown. This word was only passed on this morning, and it is still not accurate... General Look , shall we..."

Lu Junzhao stared at Xu Luwen expressionlessly, his eyes darkened, and he frowned for a moment.Said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Weimeng Grassland to show favor. On the other side of Beiyan, I will go there in person!" There was a faint murderous intent in his tone. "The matter of Weiyuan City is not over yet!"

Xu Luwen's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed his waist and said with a smile: "This matter is also an old man's dereliction of duty..."

Before Xu Luwen could finish his sentence, He Zhanpeng stood up abruptly, pleading guilty with a sullen face: "The lower official neglected his duty and failed to notice that the Beiyan people entered the city. He also surprised the second young lady, and the lower official has no face..."

The words are not finished.Xu Luwen slammed his elbow, He Zhanpeng understood, and swallowed back the words, almost biting his own tongue, but stood tensely behind Xu Luwen, waiting for Lu Junzhao to speak.

Xu Luwen hated iron for being weak, frowned, took two breaths of air-conditioning, and wished he could kick him over.This master just lost his temper because of that girl's frightening, but he brought it up again, so why not make a fuss?

"I was also negligent in this matter," Lu Junqing followed with a sigh, with a wry smile and impatience on his face, paused, then couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "That girl is quite courageous..."

Lu Junzhao hummed for the first time, without any annoyance on his face, but he didn't answer what Xu Luwen and He Zhanpeng said, just nodded to Lu Junqing: "Well, Ah Wan's thoughts are quick, bold and careful..." The tone was gentle But there is also some helpless pampering.

Lu Junqing smiled after hearing the words, looked at Lu Junzhao's expression, felt relieved but also sad, then changed the subject and asked: "Both father and mother are still in Ding'an City? What's the situation in the capital? "

"Mother and the others took a carriage, followed by Zhu Er and Zhou Wei, and arrived at Weiyuan City at the end of the month." Lu Junzhao paused, thinking of the situation in the capital, his face was a little fluctuating, "The Holy Majesty appointed the fourth prince as the crown prince, and married Wei Xiang's granddaughter is going to supervise the country today. There was a commotion on the Lantern Festival, Ye Shengman was killed, and the Ye family army lost thousands. Wu Yan's people fought with the Ye family army and the people of the palace, and their vitality was seriously injured. They took the third prince to The south escaped."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Luwen raised his brows, his eyes widened, his face was full of excitement, he waved a fan in his hand, and laughed.He Zhanpeng, who was guilty and blamed before, also blinked his eyes, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and actually smiled along with him.

Lu Junqing looked at Lu Junzhao, with a gentle smile in his eyes, and sighed softly: "This situation is well played out, no matter how you look at it, it is a great benefit for the Lu family."

Lu Junzhao answered the words with a tense face: "It was a mistake. Several people in Ah Wan's hands played a big role."

"Madam has always been smart and very good at teaching, so old people just sigh." Xu Luwen smiled and praised a few words, the words were full of flattery, but he said it with sincerity, and he could hear the voice at the door Zhou Chuan almost grinned.

Lu Junzhao glanced at Xu Luwen coldly, turned his gaze to He Zhenpeng, and asked coldly, "How did the people from Beiyan come in?"

He Zhanpeng saw Lu Junzhao's gloomy gaze turned towards him, his heart sank, his palms were covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "Back to the second master, it was the people from Beiyan who bribed Qin Rushan and dragged down the head of the guard at the gate of the city. That’s why people came in without a sound.”

Lu Junzhao's eyes suddenly gathered sharpness, and then he sneered and said, "The Qin family?" There was overwhelming evil in this voice, which made He Zhanpeng shiver for no reason, and cold sweat dripped down his back.

"I've found out!" Lu Junzhao stood up from his chair, staring at Xu Luwen who was secretly proud of himself with cold eyes.

Xu Luwen shrank his neck, laughed a few times, and moved back calmly, standing a little further away from Lu Junzhao. "Don't worry, general, this old man will definitely assist Mr. He to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Just as he was talking, Zhu Wusan came running over in two steps from outside, his originally expressionless face was clearly agitated at this moment, and he stood still at the door.The few people bowed their hands and saluted: "Master, the news about going to the capital, the Northern Yanliang King rebelled, and the situation is unknown."

Xu Luwen moved halfway, froze suddenly, widened his eyes, took a breath of air in disbelief, then laughed hahaha, waving his hands.The fan in my hand almost fell off.

"It was sprinkled before, but now I can finally accept it! This old man just watched Beiyan's internal strife!"

Lu Junzhao hummed expressionlessly, but with a smile flowing in his eyes, he and Lu Junqing looked at each other, and both of them fell into deep thought.

"This is a good time," Lu Junqing looked at the bright sunshine outside.The smile on his face dissipated, and there was a bit of emotion in his voice, "Pingliang Mansion should also be closed."

At noon, Xu Luwen bid farewell to He Zhanpeng, and Lu Junqing and Lu Junzhao discussed in the study until the end of noon.Changshou came to remind me, and the two brothers came out of the study.

Changshou laughed and leaned forward, bowed and said, "Young one, please come and ask me to show you. Is the lunch served in the front yard or in the study?"

"Don't bother, I'll go back to the East Courtyard." Lu Junqing interrupted Changshou's words with a smile and waved, and said warmly to Lu Junzhao, "Second Brother, go back to the Main Courtyard."

With a flowing smile in Lu Junzhao's eyes, he nodded and returned to the main courtyard with a long life.

Lu Junqing looked at Lu Junzhao's back, the smile on his face gradually faded.He shook his head slightly, suppressing the unconcealable feeling of being lonely in his heart.The middle-aged man who was waiting aside whispered: "Let's go."

As soon as the two entered the east courtyard, they saw Ge Sanniang wearing a long gown, sitting comfortably in the sun, drinking tea with a teacup.

Seeing Lu Junqing enter the courtyard, Ge Sanniang smiled and threw away the teacup, with a gentle and friendly smile on her face, she cupped her hands and smiled at Lu Junqing, "I'm here to ask for a cup of tea from the Elder Son."

Lu Junqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, and when his eyes touched the celadon tea sets arranged neatly on the stone table, he couldn't help but laugh for a moment.

"San Niang is in a good mood today. How is your injury?"

"No big deal!" Ge Sanniang waved her hand with a smile, pulled away the chair beside the stone table, invited Lu Junqing to sit down like a master, poured tea for Lu Junqing and said with a smile, "Master, please try this tea. After studying in the main courtyard for more than half a year, I can finally make a good drink, and I can drink it by myself."

Lu Junqing didn't ask any more questions, but still smiled gently, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then praised: "It's fine if I drink it."

Ge Sanniang smiled, took a sip of tea, clapped her hands and sighed, and said with a sigh of emotion: "The second young lady sent me here. She said that the son of the world has been running around for days, so it is inevitable that I will watch You have time to check your pulse." After a pause, he took another careful look at Lu Junqing, frowned and said, "You really don't look very well. Although my medical skills are not as good as Master's, at least I have studied for nearly 30 years. If you don't like it, I'll give you a pulse check and write a prescription later. You need to take care of your illness!"

The middle-aged man on the side heard the words, his previously tense face moved, and he looked at Ge Sanniang with a little more eagerness, then looked at Lu Junqing, and tried to persuade: "The previous master's medicine is gone. It’s already in the capital, why don’t you open another pair?”

Lu Junqing gently squeezed the teacup, his eyes fell on the clear green tea soup, his thoughts wandered, then he suddenly smiled, nodded to Ge Sanniang and said, "Please trouble Sanniang."

Ge Sanniang smiled and said "You're polite", she suppressed her smile, and carefully checked Lu Junqing's pulse. She frowned and then relaxed, then exhaled slowly, stared at Lu Junqing and said unceremoniously: "You You were poisoned earlier, but the root of the disease is still there! Are you desperate to make such a fuss? You don’t know your own body? You still have to give birth!”

Without waiting for Lu Junqing to argue, he turned to the middle-aged man standing aside and said coldly, "Bring a pen and paper!"

Lu Junqing looked at Ge Sanniang's serious appearance, opened his mouth, sighed dumbfoundedly, and let Ge Sanniang go.

In the main courtyard, Lin Wan greeted Lu Junzhao at the door with a smile, and asked softly, "Why didn't you have dinner with Big Brother?"

Lu Junzhao took Lin Wan into his arms smoothly, with tenderness in his eyes, he lowered his head against Lin Wan's forehead and smiled, "Brother has returned to the East Courtyard. Ah Wan, are you still dizzy? Have you eaten yet? Bored?" Not bored?" He paused for a while, and lightly covered Lin Wan's lower abdomen with his palm, adding a gentle smile to his voice, "Is the child okay?"

"I'm fine, he's fine too." Lin Wan's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she gave Lu Junzhao a slight glance, but her voice was filled with tenderness and joy. She gently pinched Lu Junzhao's palm with her fingers, feeling soft and sweet all over her heart.He was only less than a month away, but she felt that it was too long, and even the night was cold.Now that he is back, the warmth has also returned.

Seeing this scene, all the maids and mothers in the courtyard backed away with pursed smiles, and let the two of them cuddle up into the main room. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
