Chapter 10 Visiting the General's Mansion ([-])
"What's wrong? General Lu forgot Poppy so quickly?" Seeing that Lu Yizheng was silent, Teng Zibu joked.

It was only then that Lu Yizheng came to his senses, that's right, the woman in front of him was indeed the poppy who saved his sleep last night.However, today she has faded away from the scent of rouge powder and the glitz in the lights and applause. Except for that charming face, Lu Yizheng can't seem to find anything similar to yesterday's Teng Zibu in front of him.

Back home last night, Lu Yizheng couldn't let go of Poppy in his heart. He was very curious about the story behind this mysterious woman, but he didn't expect to meet in the general's mansion in such a way today.Who is she?Who was the man who rescued Tang Yiluo from Tang Yiluo's other courtyard yesterday?Why did she suddenly appear here today?
"Who the hell are you? Why pretend to be Tianichi Matsushita's daughter?" Lu Yizheng doesn't like to beat around the bush, and he doesn't want to guess, because he also knows that the woman in front of him is absolutely impossible to figure out.

"Why does General Lu say that I am impersonating Matsushita Tianyi's daughter?" Teng Zibu asked with a faint smile.

"This..." This question made Lu Yizheng tongue-tied, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and changed the subject, "You just said that your surname is not Matsushita, so what is your surname, and who are you?"

The corner of Teng Zibu's mouth twitched upward again, "My name is Teng Zibu. Matsushita Tianyi is my adoptive father."

"Then why..." Lu Yizheng couldn't figure it out even more, since she was really Tianichi Matsushita's adoptive daughter, why did she become a dancer again?

Teng Zibu interrupted Lu Yizheng, "I am indeed Poppy. However, I never show my true colors when I am awake at night." Teng Zibu changed the subject, "I know General Lu must have a lot to ask. However, if General Lu is really interested in my secret, you will know it sooner or later. Poppy came here today to ask the general about last night. The general was invited last night, and Poppy missed the appointment. I am really sorry, so I came here today See what the general has ordered?" Teng Zibu said every word carefully, but every word that came out of her mouth was indeed used properly.

Lu Yizheng didn't ask Teng Zibu's identity any more, but felt more and more that she was a woman with a story, but he was very patient to find out what the story was.

"The general is even more curious. Someone who attacked me last night escaped with Ms. Teng. Why did Ms. Teng come to my door in person today?" Lu Yizheng didn't mean to be tricky, but he really wanted to know why last night. There will be such a well-trained person who will rescue Teng Zibu in time.

Teng Zibu had long expected that Lu Yizheng would pursue this matter, and he had already thought up his words, "Yesterday, the adoptive father sent an assassin to assassinate you. How can he rest assured that his adopted daughter will fall into your hands?"

Lu Yizheng nodded, without the slightest doubt, what Teng Zibu said was indeed reasonable, and he couldn't find any flaws.

"Actually..." Lu Yizheng paused, "I went to save you last night, I was afraid that Tang Yiluo would..."

It turned out to be like this.Teng Zibu's heart was completely relieved, the expression on Lu Yizheng's face was enough to prove that what he said was true, he sent someone to invite him, and there was no other suspicion Teng Zibu had before.

"Thank you, General, for your concern." Teng Zibu stood up and lowered his head slightly as a thank you.

Lu Yizheng's face was still serious, and he was still wary of the elusive woman in front of him, "Lu Mou still has a question to ask Miss Teng."

Teng Zibu nodded slightly, and said softly, "General, please speak."

"Since you are Tianichi Matsushita's adoptive daughter, why did you trick Tianichi Matsushita's killer last night to save me?" This was a question that Lu Yizheng couldn't figure out no matter what.

Teng Zibu smiled lightly, "I told the general last night that the Jin people don't need a reason to save the Jin people."

Lu Yizheng wanted to ask something else, when suddenly a soldier came in from outside, "General, the second son of the Tang family, Tang Yiluo, is asking to see you."

"Tang Yiluo?" A smug smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yizheng's mouth inadvertently, "He came quite quickly, please come in!"

"Wait!" Teng Zibu stopped the soldiers.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yizheng asked puzzled.

Teng Zibu explained calmly, "May I ask if the general seized the goods from the Tang family and arrested Tang Yihuai?"

Lu Yizheng's expression was a little surprised. The seizure of the Tang family's cargo ship was originally a secret matter, so how could she even know about it?
Teng Zibu saw Lu Yizheng's surprise, and continued to explain, "General, don't be surprised, I just heard the report from Mr. Tang's family last night in Mr. Tang's other courtyard."

"Oh!" Lu Yizheng suddenly realized, and didn't arouse any doubts about this matter. He changed the subject and asked, "Then why did you prevent me from inviting Tang Yiluo in?"

Teng Zibu looked at the soldier, then at Lu Yizheng.

Lu Yizheng understood Teng Zibu's meaning, deliberately dismissed the soldiers, and ordered, "Take Second Young Master Tang to the side hall to wait for me, and I will go there right away."

After dismissing the soldiers, Lu Yizheng turned to Teng Zibu and said, "Can Miss Teng talk this time?"

Teng Zibu nodded and said, "The general just came to Li Rao to take office, and he didn't understand many complicated things about Li Rao. It's okay to offend the Tang family, but Tang Yiluo is just a playboy, the general doesn't need to take it to heart. But, this Tang Yihuai It must never be offended."

"Why? Could it be that I am dignified in commanding Li-Rao's army, and I am afraid that Tang Yihuai will fail?" Lu Yizheng raised his voice, a little angry, perhaps because he had just arrived in Li-Rao, Lu Yizheng always felt that he would make a big difference, so after listening to Teng Zibu's words, Unavoidably feel a little harsh.

Teng Zibu was not nervous, but just shook his head calmly, "Of course the general will not be afraid of him, but everything should be done step by step. Does the general know who is behind Tang Yihuai?"

Lu Yizheng shook his head in puzzlement. Before taking office, he had indeed done a lot of investigations, but it seemed that there was nothing special about it. "Tang Zhengxing has always acted impartially. He was neither close to the warlords nor the Dark Moon Nation. What's the matter, the Tang family has always relied on their own connections to make money, so there should be no one behind it, right?" Lu Yizheng didn't have enough confidence to say this.

Teng Zibu smiled, "You are talking about Tang Zhengxing. That's right, Tang Zhengxing has never been involved in politics, he just does business in a down-to-earth manner, but Tang Yihuai is different. To be honest, he is the guest of Matsushita Mansion .”

"Matsushita Tianyi?" Lu Yizheng felt that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.He was not afraid of Matsushita Tianyi, but he had just arrived in Lirao, so it would be extremely disadvantageous to have a direct confrontation with Matsushita Tianyi so soon.
