Lu Dong and two guards turned into another fork in the road. This was when they came to Lianzhou Prefecture. They found a small road, but this road was very difficult to walk on. However, the main road was full of Prince Qing's men. In order to safely deliver the letter to the capital, they had no choice but to take this road.
Chang Lin from Luzhou Prefecture sent his men to the mountain stronghold to monitor the movements of those people. At this time, Nan Qingyun, the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture, had also received intelligence and learned that there was an army hidden in the mountains within his territory.
Nan Qingyun was a little confused for a moment. Although he came from a family of generals, he liked reading and disliked martial arts since he was a child. But that didn't mean he didn't understand. When he saw this intelligence, he knew the seriousness of the matter. When he really wanted to send someone to find the Lieutenant General of Luzhou Prefecture, he did meet Chang Lin.
Chang Lin had been working as the steward of the Lu Mansion for nearly a year. As the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture, Nan Qingyun naturally knew who Chang Lin was. Although he was very curious about what he was doing here, he still let him in.
"Chang Lin, the steward of the Lu Mansion, greets the prefect."
Nan Qingyun looked at Chang Lin with a smile on his face.
"What is the purpose of Butler Chang's visit this time?"
Chang Lin looked at the people around him, and his meaning was self-evident. Nan Qingyun knew that there might be something important to say, so he waved his hand and asked the servants to leave.
"Okay, everyone's gone down. Tell me! What's the big deal?"
Chang Lin smiled and saluted again before saying.
"I think the prefect has received the tip-off! I'm here to stop you from sending troops. You don't need to send a letter to the capital for the time being."
Chang Lin's words made Nan Qingyun feel nervous, but then he remembered that this guy's master was Lu Zifeng, so he felt relieved and relaxed.
"Did your master send you here?"
Chang Lin nodded.
"My master is in Lianzhou Prefecture now, and he knows that those soldiers are preparing to attack Lianzhou Prefecture. Now all he needs to do is wait for those people to raise the flag of rebellion."
Chang Lin did not say the rest of the words, but Nan Qingyun still understood what he meant.
"So what do I need to do?"
"My master means that we should keep an eye on the situation in the mountains from Luzhou Prefecture to prevent those people from coming to Luzhou Prefecture."
Nan Qingyun frowned and smiled bitterly.
"Lu Zifeng, that brat, isn't this giving me a problem? Now we are sure those people are heading to Lianzhou Prefecture. If they suddenly attack Luzhou Prefecture, how can Luzhou Prefecture be left unprepared? It seems I still need to write a letter to Lieutenant General Li and prepare something."
Chang Lin also knew Nan Qingyun's concerns, but if the 10,000 troops of Luzhou Prefecture took action, it would inevitably alarm the troops in the mountains. Presumably, those people must have secret lines in Luzhou Prefecture.
"Sir, can you guarantee that you can notify Lieutenant General Li without being noticed by those people?"
Nan Qingyun smiled.
"I only informed him of this incident. I didn't ask him to go into the mountains directly. I was just on guard!"
Seeing that Nan Qingyun understood what his master meant, Chang Lin said goodbye and left the prefectural yamen. He had no choice but to come here because his subordinates found him today and said that the secret guards of the prefect Nan's family accidentally discovered the situation in the mountains. He was afraid that Nan Qingyun didn't know the reason and ruined the master and the emperor's big plan, so he made this trip.
After seeing Chang Lin off, Nan Qingyun sat in a chair in a daze: Haha, this Lu family kid is now the emperor's nephew! Such an important matter was also handed over to him, it's really amazing. At the beginning, it looked like the Dingguo Mansion was about to break the inheritance, but who could have thought that Lu Zifeng would jump out in the end!
From Lu Zifeng, he thought of his own son. He heard that his son was doing quite well in the capital. He had heard that his son and Lu Zifeng's younger brother had defeated quite a few heroic young men in the capital. He felt that he had done his duty to the Nan family and to his father. Although he had not practiced martial arts, he had given him a grandson who could do it.
After more than a day, Lu Dong finally walked out of the mountains and out of the territory of Lianzhou Prefecture. However, he met Lu Qiu who had returned here. The two chatted for a while before parting again.
The imperial palace in Beijing.
Situ Yi was standing in the imperial study waiting for the emperor's instructions.
He received a message from the palace early this morning asking him to come to the palace, but he didn't know what it was about.
Situ Yong glanced at Situ Yi who was standing below and looking bored.
"What's wrong? Are you bored? How about I find you something to do?"
Situ Yi looked up hurriedly when he heard that.
"Your Majesty, I'm not bored. Didn't you send someone to tell me to come into the palace?"
Situ Yong put down the pen in his hand, sat down, picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.
"Well, I see you've been quite relaxed lately? Did you even get into a fight with someone?"
When Situ Yi heard the emperor say this, he knew why he was summoned to the palace today, but he was not afraid. He laughed and said,
"Look at what you said, Your Majesty. I am not causing trouble just because of a prostitute. It's just a prostitute. I am not so tasteless as that."
"Besides, my mother praised me! She also said that if I encounter something like this again, I still need to take action."
Situ Yong was speechless after hearing what Situ Yi said. How could his sister-in-law, who was also his brother's wife, still be so fierce even though she was already in her forties? After thinking for a while, he said.
"Well, let's put it this way. I know you didn't do anything wrong. From now on, go to Lianzhou Prefecture to find Brother Feng! When you get there, you must follow his instructions. If you do well now, I will naturally reward you."
When Situ Yi heard that he was asked to go to Lianzhou Prefecture, his eyes lit up and he quickly made the promise.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will obey Brother Feng in everything."
Situ Yong glared at Situ Yi and said, "Get out of here right now. I have a headache just looking at you guys."
Situ Yi then walked out of the imperial study with a smile on his face, and left the palace with a happy face. This scene made a concubine in the harem so angry that her teeth itched, but she could do nothing about it. She only hated her nephew from her mother's family for being too bad, but no matter how bad he was, he was still her nephew. But now her nephew was beaten by the eldest son of King Jing's family, but the emperor did not punish him. It seemed that he had gained a lot of benefits.
After watching Situ Yi leave the imperial study, the emperor looked at the screen beside him and said.
"Do you think this kid has any intention of competing for the title of Crown Prince?"
Situ Jin walked out from behind the screen and said with a smile.
"Father, in fact, many years ago, there were rumors in the market that Situ Yi was interested in vying for the position of Crown Prince. After hearing this, this kid declared that he had no intention of vying for the position. He also said that Your Majesty would surely grant him a title, and at the very least, he would be a prince. From this, it can be seen that this kid is not simple. However, our royal family does not need fools. It is always better to be smart."
