Lu Zifeng took the golden token handed to him by the eunuch. One side was engraved with the word "Yu" and the other side was engraved with the words "As if I were here in person".
After Situ Yong finished speaking, he didn't hear Lu Zifeng's reply for a long time. Then he raised his head and took a look. He saw that this boy was actually studying his gold medal. He was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Okay, now that everything has been explained, is there anything else you would like to ask? If not, please leave the palace immediately!"
Only then did Lu Zifeng take the gold medal and clasp his fists.
"Yes, I will go now and leave early tomorrow morning."
Seeing the emperor waving his hand, Lu Zifeng took a few steps back and turned to leave the imperial study.
When he arrived at the palace gate, his horse had already been led over by the guards. He climbed on the horse, took the reins, and looked at the guard who had brought the horse to him.
"Thank you. I'll treat you to a drink when I come back again."
The guard was very happy to hear Lu Zifeng say this. You know, among so many princes and nobles in the capital, the most famous one now is the prince of Duke Dingguo. If you want to know why, it is naturally because Prince Lu defeated the bravest warrior of Tatar in a competition some time ago. That was a matter of glory for the country!
Just now, Prince Lu said that he would treat him to a meal and drinks when he came back. This is worth bragging about. Ah, no, it's not bragging, it's all true, right? But we have to wait until Prince Lu comes back.
Lu Zifeng naturally didn't realize that his casual words had caused the guard to imagine so much and become so excited. Speaking of which, it was because you, Lu Zifeng, had been in the palace all this time and was unaware of the rumors spreading throughout the capital.
It was just because Lu Zifeng had a duel with Tatar warriors in the palace some time ago, and easily defeated the Tatar warriors, and also made the Tatar prince lose ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand sheep, five thousand horses and five thousand cattle.
Lu Zifeng returned to Duke Dingguo's Mansion first. Lu Minghan was already waiting for Lu Zifeng in the study and was delighted to see him return.
"Well, I'm back. You must be careful and cautious with the mission the emperor gave you this time. When you leave tomorrow, be careful not to leak the news. Prince Qing's people have been keeping an eye on you!"
Lu Zifeng naturally knew what his uncle had said. He had always known that Prince Qing's men had been monitoring him, but because the emperor and his uncle had told him to, Lu Zifeng had been pretending not to know.
"Well, uncle, don't worry! I will go back to the Marquis' Mansion to see my parents later. I will ask my servant to pretend to be me and leave the city tomorrow. I have my own way to get out of the city."
Lu Minghan had some understanding of Lu Zifeng's abilities, so he didn't say anything more, but took out a few silver bills from his pocket and handed them to Lu Zifeng.
"Take it. A poor family is rich on the road. When you go out, besides being cautious, the rest is to prepare more money and food, and don't let yourself be wronged."
Lu Zifeng did not hesitate to take it. The last time he refused, his uncle said that the entire Dingguo Mansion would be his from now on, and all the money would be left to him. It would be the same whether you spent it now or later, it was just in advance.
From then on, Lu Zifeng would no longer be as polite as before.
"Don't worry, uncle! The emperor has also instructed me that after I get there, I will go see Lieutenant General Xue and ask him to help me."
After hearing that Lu Zifeng had made his own arrangements, Lu Minghan stopped worrying about it and sent him to the old lady's courtyard.
Lu Zifeng had lunch with the old lady at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion before returning to the Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion.
Tan Yunniang missed her son very much because he had been away for more than ten days in the palace before he could return home. Now that her son is back, she is naturally very happy.
"Brother Feng is back, go back and wash up, mom will make arrangements, we will get together and have dinner tonight."
Lu Zifeng agreed with a smile and went back to the yard first. He saw Lu Qiu and Lu Dong practicing martial arts in the yard. When they saw Lu Zifeng coming back, they quickly stopped practicing.
"Prince, are you back? Do you need some water for your bath?"
Lu Zifeng thought about how he hadn't washed himself properly these past two days due to the hot weather, so he nodded.
"Well, get ready!"
After Lu Zifeng took a shower, he came out and sent Lu Qiu and Lu Dong away. Then he was alone in the room. He took out a bottle of beer from the space and started drinking. Alas, there was not much beer left in the space, and he didn't dare to drink too much. If he finished it one day, he would never be able to drink it again in this world.
After finishing the beer, he put the bottle into the space, went out to the front yard to see his father and two younger brothers.
As soon as he reached the gate of the yard, he was attacked. Lu Zifeng raised the corner of his mouth, dodged the attack, and looked at Lu Ziyan who was a few steps away.
"Haha, you've made quite a bit of progress, huh? Not bad, I haven't seen you for a while, but you've improved a lot?"
Lu Ziyan chuckled and scratched his head.
"Brother, Nan Shaoqing and I have been challenged by many people recently, but we have defeated them all."
"Oh," Lu Zifeng was very confused. Someone would actually challenge Lu Ziyan and Nan Shaoqing, so he asked.
"Who are the people who challenge you two?"
Lu Ziyan said arrogantly at this moment.
"Now the whole capital is saying that Big Brother is an unrivaled martial artist. As your brother, I naturally cannot admit defeat, so I have no choice but to accept the challenge."
Lu Zifeng frowned upon hearing this. Someone was trying to flatter Lu Ziyan! It seemed these people had bad intentions, but it looked like this kid hadn't realized it yet. I wonder if Nan Shaoqing had figured out their intentions?
Thinking of this, Lu Zifeng calmly started chatting with Lu Ziyan, and learned from him who were the people following Lu Ziyan and Nan Shaoqing.
However, Lu Zifeng didn't have time to deal with this matter for the time being, so he said to Lu Qiu.
"Go to the Duke of Ding's mansion now and call Lu Chun over. I have something for him to do."
Lu Qiu understood what the prince meant, nodded and left.
The two brothers went to the study in the front yard chatting and laughing. Lu Mingyuan had been reading books during this period. He always had a desire to pass the imperial examination. In the past, there was no money for him to study. Although he could read, he had no imperial examination.
Now that I have this opportunity, I don't seek to enter the officialdom. At least I have a reputation, and when I go out, I can show off my title of Marquis Cheng'en.
Lu Zifeng naturally understood Lu Mingyuan's thoughts. No matter how capable his son was, he was still his son. He didn't get it by himself. This was something Lu Mingyuan didn't want to see, so Lu Zifeng strongly supported him in doing so. In the spring of next year, the capital would hold the Tongsheng Examination, and his father and third brother would take the examination together.
