cold concubine

Chapter 11
Teng Zibu's expression also became serious, and he said solemnly, "That's right, most of the business that Tang Yihuai is in charge of has something to do with his adoptive father. The so-called influence can affect the whole body, so please General Lu think twice about where to go."

Lu Yizheng nodded thoughtfully. Teng Zibu was right. If Tang Yihuai really had something to do with Matsushita Tianyi, he must not make things difficult for him. "Why did Ms. Teng tell me this?"

Teng Zibu smiled lightly, "Because Li Rao needs a capable commander to restore peace to the people of Jin."

Lu Yizheng was stunned, a woman who never left her country, could it be that her purpose of coming is really so simple?
Teng Zibu saw Lu Yizheng's doubts, and continued, "Maybe, everyone has selfish intentions, but as long as what she does is beneficial to this country, this nation, her purpose is not important, is it?"

"That's right, you're right, no matter what your purpose is, as long as what he does is beneficial to the country, it's worth adopting." Lu Yizheng continued, "Thank you, Ms. Teng, for your advice. Lu will go see Tang Yiluo right now. Don't pursue Tang Yihuai's matter any more."

Teng Zibu nodded lightly, "That poppy will also leave first."

Lu Yizheng sent someone to see Teng Zibu off, then turned around and went to the side hall.

Tang Yiluo was sitting at the guest table in the side hall, not at all restrained, sipping tea casually.Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tang Yiluo put down his tea bowl, stood up, and nodded at Lu Yizheng as a courtesy, "General Lu, you..." Tang Yiluo looked intently, and couldn't help being surprised when he saw Lu Yizheng , it turned out to be him, the man he rescued sleeplessly last night turned out to be Li Rao Commanding Army.Tang Yiluo couldn't believe the facts in front of him, but on the surface he was very calm.

However, Lu Yizheng had already guessed Tang Yiluo's surprise, he chuckled, "Master Tang didn't think of that, did he? Thank you for saving Mr. Lu yesterday."

Tang Yiluo shook his head, and said respectfully, "Tang doesn't dare to take credit, it's just a coincidence. Tang came here today because of his elder brother's business." Tang Yiluo didn't pretend to be a joke, and went straight to the point, but Lu Yizheng just took office Then he secretly ventured into sleepless nights to inquire about Li Rao's information, which made Tang Yiluo start to look at the newly appointed Li Rao commander with admiration.

While talking, Tang Yiluo took out an exquisite box from his pocket, carefully opened it, and handed it to Lu Yizheng, "General Lu, Tang Mou Su asked General that he likes antiques, so he specially brought an inkstone. Please accept it with a smile." This square inkstone is an ancient inkstone, and it is very valuable at first glance. Tang Yiluo's doing this is not flattering, but just following the rules of the officialdom. After all, he had to be prepared for the first time when he came to meet Li Rao's commanding army.

Lu Yizheng has always liked antiques. He looked down at the inkstone in Tang Yiluo's hand, and liked it from the bottom of his heart, but he still reluctantly pushed it away, "Second Young Master's gift is expensive, and Lu dare not accept it for nothing. As for the Tang family I think it was just a misunderstanding. The second son saved Lu’s life yesterday, and Lu was not an ungrateful person, so he let the eldest son go. I trouble the second son to bring back the goods. When Lu first arrived in Lirao, There are many unknowns, and Second Young Master needs to take care of them."

Hearing Lu Yizheng's words, Tang Yiluo was a little surprised. He never expected that Lu Yizheng would let him go so happily. However, Tang Yiluo didn't think about so many details. The most important thing now is Tang Yihuai. safe and sound.After Tang Yiluo thanked Lu Yizheng, he took his leave and left.

Just as Tang Yiluo turned around to go out, a man in military uniform hurried in. This man was Lu Yizheng's most trusted adjutant, named Xue Tian.

"How is it? Have you checked the goods? There should be no problem?" Lu Yizheng lowered his voice and asked.

Xue Tian replied with a serious face, "General, you can't let Tang Yihuai go."

"why?"

"That batch of goods are arms." Xue Tian said word by word, and Lu Yizheng was also taken aback.

"What? Ammunition? Have you checked it out?"

"Check it out. There can be no mistake."

Seeing Xue Tian's words were so firm, Lu Yizheng was also convinced. He tried his best to calm himself down, carefully analyzed the current situation, and finally said, "Let's pretend that we don't know anything, and release people and goods as usual."

"General, you have to think twice. Although this batch of munitions is not large, it is enough to prove that the Tang family has evil intentions." Xue Tian didn't understand why Lu Yizheng made such a decision, and dissuaded him.

Lu Yizheng smiled confidently, "Let's let it go! Send people to closely monitor the whereabouts of this batch of goods. We have to put a long line to catch big fish. This general must see who is behind the Tang family."

Seeing Lu Yizheng's self-confidence, Xue Tian didn't argue any further, and took orders to retreat.

It's night time again, and at this time, no matter how perilous the outside world is, there is always singing and dancing in the sleepless night.

Teng Zibu put on the mask that accompanied her again, and started the role that did not belong to her but had to be played.

"Sister Poppy, someone is looking for you outside, saying that General Lu Yizheng of the Li-Rao Commander has invited you." Teng Zibu was enjoying the tranquility in the dressing room when Iris suddenly came in from the outside and said.

Teng Zibu stood up, pretending to be puzzled, "Lu Yizheng? I've never met him before. Why did he come to me?"

Yuanwei naturally didn't see through Teng Zibu's cover-up, and replied in a daze, "I heard that there is going to be a dinner party at the General's Mansion tomorrow, and General Lu wants to invite Miss to dance for fun."

Teng Zibu shook his head bored, "Go and tell him, I never go to the house to dance, if General Lu wants to see it, just invite him to sleep at night."

Just as the words fell, a loud voice came from outside the door, "What? Miss Poppy doesn't even give Lu some face?"

Teng Zibu recognized Lu Yizheng's voice, and hurried up to meet him, "Hey, it's General Lu coming, Poppy is far away to welcome you."

While talking, Poppy waved her hand to let Iris go out.

"What's the business of General Lu coming in person?" Teng Zibu asked solemnly when Yuanwei went out and closed the door with his hand back.

Lu Yizheng saw Teng Zibu's contrast of attitudes before and after, and couldn't help laughing to himself, jokingly said, "Miss Teng's acting skills are really top-notch, if Lu doesn't know the truth, he must think that he has changed."

Teng Zibu smiled, more or less bitterly mixed in his smile, "General Lu, stop joking, just talk about anything! Zibu just couldn't help himself."

Yes, the sentence "I can't help myself" expresses too much helplessness in the troubled times.Whether it's Matsushita Tianichi's adopted daughter or a popular dancing girl who sleeps at night, they just wear these high-sounding guises just to survive.I'm afraid, even she herself doesn't know who she is!Lu Yizheng sighed secretly in his heart.
