Chapter 470 Meet Him
(Second update! Thanks to Langyuan Fairy Flower who heard the flute under the moon, and to Soul Lord L’s Heshibi, thank you for your blessings!)
The chaotic life in Xijiang Mansion has always been a pain in Pei's heart, and she is unwilling to mention it again these years.But now, in front of Lu Fengde, she mentioned it again.

When Mrs. Ji came to see her, she didn't act emotionally and rationally. What she said was the current situation between Dading and Xisheng, the situation of confrontation and deadly struggle hidden under peace.
What really moved Pei Shi was not what Ji Shi said about the situation, but what Ji Shi said at the end.

At that time, Mrs. Ji held on to her skinny hand, with tears in her eyes as well, and said word by word: "Master Lu, please help Shen Du, not for the sake of Dading, but for the sake of the common people. If there is chaos, where will the world be?" Human?"

When Pei Shi heard this, she suddenly felt a shock in her heart.There is a saying in the past that the power of one verse can break through hell.Ji's words made Pei's heart collapse.

I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times.These words were the most painful and helpless hope in Pei's heart during the Yong'an battle.At that time, how many people had the same hope as her?Countless.

Later, she was honored and raised in Chunhui Courtyard, and the words that lingered in her mind from time to time were still the same.Only more than 30 years have passed since the battle of Yong'an, and less than 30 years have passed since the peace of the country.

When Mrs. Pei was seriously ill and was about to die, no matter whether it was the hardships and poverty in the past, or the comfort and prosperity later, it was meaningless.What has always been deeply engraved in her heart and can never be erased is that period of chaotic life.

After experiencing too much, why should Mrs. Pei prolong her life?What she wants is Yanping Bude!
"I just want to see that after I die, the peace of the country can last longer, and a battle like Yong'an will never come again..." Pei said hoarsely, tears welling up.
Hearing these words, looking at the tearful Pei Shi, she couldn't help but knelt down in front of Pei Shi, and called out in a low voice: "Mother..."

After the word "mother", there is no more words of being called.

On the second day, when Shen Du received a message from Lu Fengde, he was very surprised.He was still thinking about how to meet Lu Fengde, but he didn't want Lu Fengde to send a message and ask him to meet at Lu's house in Shenshi.

Lu Fengde offered to meet him, which meant that there was room for negotiation regarding the Wuling Mine.Before seeing Lu Fengde again, Shen Du couldn't think of the reason for Lu Fengde's change of attitude anyway.

After hearing Lu Fengde mentioning the Ji family, Shen Du instantly understood that Abi must have done something in it, which made Lu Fengde change his mind, and only then did Shen Shi meet this time.

Abi, or Abi.Although she didn't say anything, she secretly did so many things for him.She was still... worried about him.

Here at Lu's house, he was meeting with Lu Fengde, discussing about the Wuling mine is the most important thing, Shen Du had no choice but to suppress the shock in his heart, trying his best to put on a calm face to deal with Lu Fengde's scrutiny.

Not to mention anything else, just considering that A Bi has done so many things for him, he will never allow any mistakes in the matter of the Wuling Mine!
Lu Fengde looked at the young official in front of him and didn't speak for a long time.Lu Fengde was very clear about Pei's hopes and choices before his death, and this is what he has been doing for the past few decades.Can this young man in front of him really live up to their hopes?Is it an option they can entrust?
Lu Fengde is no stranger to the official Shen Du.In fact, in the officialdom, there is no official who does not know something about Shen Du.The person in front of him is too young to hold an important position, and he has made so many political achievements and contributions that no one can ignore.

In the past, Lu Fengde had no relationship with Shen Du, but he has always paid attention to and admired this young official silently; he also vaguely guessed that this young official wanted to use Sheng Lie to have some influence on Xi Sheng. What a plan, that's why the information about Honglu Temple was sent.

He thought, this is enough, and he doesn't want to get too involved.However, he still didn't expect that there would be more persuasion from the Ji family and determination from the Pei family, so that he and Shen Du sat opposite each other, discussing the matter of Wuling.

"Since you are so determined to see me, then I really want to know what is your plan in Wuling? Kill Sheng Lie, or... let Sheng Lie go?" Lu Fengde cut to the chase.

At this time, he no longer called "the official", but treated Shen Du with an equal attitude.He promised Mrs. Pei that he would help this young man well and try his best to keep Xisheng out of the territory of Dading, so he had to plan carefully.

He already has a steelyard in his heart.If Shen Du's answer was to kill Sheng Lie or release Sheng Lie, he decided that no matter how much Pei insisted, he would not interfere in the matter of the Wuling Mine.

If it is not enough to conspire, it will bring disaster to the country and the people. He cannot be such a sinner.

After Lu Fengde finished speaking, Shen Du's shock caused by Gu Yan had subsided, and he was not as dazed as he was when he saw Lu Fengde last time.At this time, he was the calm Lord Shen in the past.

He didn't answer Lu Fengde's question, but asked instead: "My lord, do you think Sheng Lie will tell the location of the ore after leaving the prison and going to Wuling?"

In order to save his life, Sheng Lie had to speak out; if he went to Wuling, would he really speak out?Probably, only by going to Wuling can we really know.

Lu Fengde did not answer this unanswered question, maintaining a serious expression on his face.
So, Shen Du asked again: "My lord, do you think Dading's acquisition of these mineral veins is a good thing or a bad thing?"

This time, Lu Fengde couldn't keep serious, he took a deep look at Shen Du, as if wondering why Shen Du would ask such a stupid question.

If it is not a good thing to get the Wuling vein, then why bother, from the emperor to the court officials, who have thought so hard about it all these years?The Wuling vein is the source of the country's strength, of course it is a good thing to get it!
He was about to speak, but stopped suddenly.No, for an official like Shen Du to ask such a question, it must not be as simple as it appears on the surface.So why did he ask?

For some reason, Lu Fengde recalled the words that Mrs. Pei had been chanting: I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times, and his face suddenly moved.Could it be that what Shen Du asked was what he thought?
The next moment, he heard Shen Du's answer, just as he thought.He couldn't believe that this young man, such a young person, could think so far, far beyond his imagination.
