The true Lord of Youzhou
Shangguan Yan looked at Liu Buqi in confusion, and said frankly that he would like to hear more details!
This woman is extremely intelligent and would never give random reminders based on hearsay.
Liu Buqi chuckled, "My husband was able to arrive in Jinan in time, which proves two things!"
"First, the Tai'an Mansion has changed its surname to Yue Lingxi's Yue!"
"Second, I guessed who the Shandong Commander belongs to!"
Shangguan Yan's face changed color. Tai'an Mansion was the key to unlocking the "cage" of Youzhou. It changed hands to Yue Lingxi in just a few days. Although this possibility was small, if it came true, the Marquis's layout in Youzhou could be said to have failed miserably!
"I have to thank Patriarch Lu Ren. I happened to overhear you and him secretly discussing marriage that day, and that's when I knew you were Yue Wuji's man."
"So I wrote a letter to my husband, asking him to use the pass issued by Lord Shangguan to steal Tai'an City!" Liu Buqi's understatement was based on her strong confidence in Yue Lingxi and Youzhou's military strength!
Yue Lingxi seemed to have recalled the bloody battle that day. He led the 500-man Xianzhen Camp led by Gao Yi, and under the pretext of returning home to worship his ancestors, he entered Tai'an City alone and suddenly launched an attack to seize the city gate.
Amidst the frantic counterattack by the soldiers defending the city, they held out for nearly half an hour before finally waiting for the arrival of the army that did not dare to get too close!
Since the cavalry were patrolling the road between Tai'an Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, blocking all news, Shangguan Yan had not received any news yet!
Yue Lingxi's emotion made Shangguan Yan immediately believe what Liu Buqi said!
Yue Lingxi, the former nominal lord of Youzhou, has now truly earned the title of one of the most powerful forces in the world!
Shangguan Yan asked formally, almost asking for advice, and it was Liu Buqi's second question!
"Prince Ning Yue is healthy!"
It was actually him! Shangguan Yan's face instantly turned red!
This iron-hat prince who has always been low-key and good at pretending to be crazy has also started to take action?
As Yue Wuji's right-hand man, Shangguan Yan clearly knows that the gains and losses of Youzhou are just icing on the cake!
Even if Tai'an Prefecture was lost and Yue Lingxi controlled the entire Youzhou, he would not be able to threaten the overall situation of the world!
Yue Wuji, using his identity as the emperor's uncle, proposed to purge the imperial court, which caused a stir in the world and attracted many followers!
Yue Lingxi also proposed to purge the imperial court using his identity as the emperor's younger brother, but absolutely no one in the world responded!
Because whether it is the reputation among the people, the recognition of the royal family or the difference in generation, there is a huge difference between him and Yue Wuji!
But Yue Wuji is different. This is the only iron-hat king of Taiyue. After several generations of management, he will definitely make a big splash if he does!
No, this news must be reported to the Marquis immediately!
"Sir Shangguan, a junior like my husband is not worthy of the Ning King's attention. But as the Governor of Shandong and the Marquis of Guannei's biggest architect in Henan and Shandong, it seems that it will be difficult for you to leave Shandong easily!"
Liu Buqi's reminder was very timely. Shangguan Yan's trip to the Lu family this time has completely exposed the fact that he is Guannei Hou's man. Now he has to leave, but he is afraid that there will be countless obstacles along the way!
"Thank you for your reminder, Madam Liu! If I can escape, I will repay you for your kindness today!" Shangguan Yan is also a person who makes decisions on the spot.
He didn't talk any more with Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi, and walked out of the gate of Lu Mansion with Shangguan Luoyang!
In addition to deliberately creating suspicion by sending his captains of police and yamen runners to several bandit strongholds under his control, causing several fights.
Shangguan Yan and his daughter disguised themselves and took only three or five close confidants with them. Without even returning home, they left Jinan Prefecture and headed straight for Taiyue Imperial City.
He changed his clothes and direction many times along the way, and only then did he avoid the countless pursuers who were blocking his way!
Shangguan Luoyang also curiously asked his father why Liu Buqi reminded them that the Shandong Commander was King Ning's man!
Shangguan Yan chuckled, "She's not trying to warn us! She's clearly trying to use this opportunity to distract Prince Ning. Just wait, when we enter Guanzhong, the Lu family of Shandong will become the Lu family of Youzhou!"
…
After Shangguan and his daughter left, Liu Buqi summoned Zhu Caicai and asked him about the resale of the shops that the Lu family had transferred from him.
Shangguan Yan was right! When the Shandong commander set his sights on him, it was the best time for the Shandong Lu family to relocate!
Before that, Lu Ren’s problem still needs to be properly handled!
The new and old leaders of the Lu family, Lu Xin, Lu Ren, Lu Yi, Lu Li, and Lu Zhi, have gathered in the courtyard where Liu Buqi lives.
Lu Ren, who seemed to have aged a dozen years in just one day, looked at Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi who had just entered the room with dull eyes.
Lu Xin seemed to be hesitant to speak and kept sighing.
"The Lu family can't stay in Shandong anymore, the entire clan needs to relocate!" Yue Lingxi directly stated the problem that everyone in the Lu family had already thought of.
Even the usually aggressive Lu Zhi asked in confusion, "Where to move?"
Guannei Hou was completely defeated in the Lu family incident. Coupled with Yue Lingxi's relationship, the family's situation in Shandong has become extremely dangerous. Moving away is a matter of course!
But starting from scratch is not easy!
Liu Buqi laughed out loud, "Uncles, why are you so sad? Let's move to Tai'an Mansion, the Lu family's Tai'an Mansion!"
"Lingxi and I have already discussed this. Aside from the standing army, all internal affairs, commerce, and livelihood matters in Tai'an Prefecture will be fully managed by the Lu family!"
What!
The Lu family is in charge of the entire prefecture! Even Lu Ren, who was already disheartened, raised his head and looked straight at Yue Lingxi in front of him!
After all, I missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Lu family and mistook Qilin for a pet dog!
"Lingxi, the tendon-reinforcing pills I sent you back then..."
Yue Lingxi interrupted Lu Ren's next words, "I didn't eat it! Patriarch, I have a special background, so it's only natural that you should be on guard! I've never blamed you!"
He turned back to the other four and said, "Youzhou may be bitterly cold, but it doesn't stop merchants from becoming officials! From now on, the Lu family no longer needs to be divided into the merchant Lu family and the official Lu family! Please tell me about this, uncles, and other Lu family members!"
Seeing his younger brothers’ excitement that could not be concealed, Lu Ren, who was crying, seemed to have made up his mind!
"Lingxi, although the migration of the entire clan can avoid trouble, we must ensure that the golden signboard that the Lu family has built for hundreds of years will not fall and that the grain route to Youzhou is unobstructed!"
"We must not lose this ancestral land of the Lu family in Jinan! If you still believe in me, leave Lu Li and me here. The two of us brothers will hold out in Jinan for a while and tell everyone that the Lu family has not collapsed, has not fled, and that the Lu family's business can still be done!"
Looking at this former head of the family, with whom he had little affection, Yue Lingxi was somewhat moved. He stared at Lu Ren for a long time before making up his mind!
"Okay, thank you, Patriarch!"
