The Lu family's house was built on the mountain five miles west of Tangyin, which was quite hidden. It was a temporary residence that the Lu family moved to, but was later abandoned and came to take refuge in the summer.

Lu Jingyuan came to the horse, and the people guarding outside the door were all from the Lu Mansion. When he saw it, he was surprised and happy and immediately welcomed him into the hospital. However, when he arrived at the outer hall, there were no traces of Lu Boyan and others. There were only two young men in the hall raising their glasses, talking and laughing.

The left leader is Fang He's young, handsome and white, with a name named Zhennan, and his courtesy name Yinting, and his son of Tang Jichuan, the general of Tiannan. The right leader is a little older, with a bright face, with a surname named Liu Qi, and his courtesy name Xinshu, and his son of Liu Zhongwu, the governor of Xining. The Tang and Liu were both sons of generals. They lived in the capital when they were young and were companions with Lu Jingyuan. Later, they moved to various places and could only write letters. Whenever they thought about it, they were often depressed. At this moment, the three young friends met and were happy and should have talked about their separation for a long time, but Lu Jingyuan had other concerns and did not care about greetings. He went straight to the point and asked, "Uncle Xin, Yinting, what are the old men?"

Liu Qi said, "Did you come to the capital?"

Lu Jingyuan said, "That's right, we returned from the South and met Yao Fu on the road. I heard that you followed the old man and went to Beijing to recuperate. I thought this matter was inconsistent. Before the family entered, I came to the outside house."

Hearing this, Liu Qi and Tang Zhennan were both stunned.

Liu Qi laughed and said, "Who said we have come to resign? What job can we have to resign from two idle people in Zhennan?"

Tang Zhennan Road "That wood is wood, stupid. The three-year Youlan Hunting Club actually called him a job. Fortunately, the person who organized this year was still Gao Taiwei."

When Lu Jingyuan heard the four words "The Orchid Hunting Club", he suddenly realized that early summer every year is the season when the Hui orchids in the Central Plains bloom. Today, Huizong is good at loving elegance and especially likes Hui orchids. There are many cultivations in the forbidden garden. At the beginning of his ascension, he changed the name of the "Emperor Hunting Club" that was originally once every three years to "The Orchid Hunting Club".

Although the officials in the Song Dynasty did not value martial style, the emperor's hunting was an ancient ritual. He invited the children of important officials from the country to join and select and give them a gift to calm people's hearts. At that time, not only the emperor himself came to the scene, but the princes and grandsons would also end up hunting with the children of all families. The more children of which family can make the first place in the Youlan Hunting Congregation, the more they will be favored by the emperor.

Lu Jingyuan was originally a child of aristocratic family and was familiar with this grand event held specifically for the grand family. However, he had been to the south for a long time and had no news at all, so he did not think of this matter. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No wonder Yaofu didn't know about it after asking questions. It was not his turn to participate in this grand event."

Tang Zhennan laughed and said, "Just that waste snack, Zhang Gong is afraid that he will hurt himself."

Liu Qi said, "Not necessarily, don't forget that this hunting meeting was organized by Taiwei Gao."

Tang Zhennan sneered, "So what about Taiwei Gao? Can he still commit favoritism and fraud?"

Liu Qi's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Tang Zhennan turned to Lu Jingyuan and smiled and said, "Jingyuan, you are late, so you have three drinks first."

Lu Jingyuan took the wine glass and tilted his head to drink it, but he was still not relieved and did not drink it. He asked, "Where are those old men?"

Liu Qi said, "I'm discussing matters inside."

Lu Jingyuan knew the inner hall behind the screen that he said, frowned and said, "Why don't you ask you to come in?"

Tang Zhennan said, "What else can you do? Treat us as children and don't deserve to be with them."

When Lu Jingyuan heard this, he smiled, put down his wine glass, and said, "Let's go, take a look."

Liu Qi hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, in addition to the three elders of our families, there are outsiders. You have just come back, don't cause trouble."

Lu Jingyuan said, "Who is going to cause trouble, I'll take a look." After that, he bypassed him and walked straight behind the screen.

Tang Zhennan followed him and said with a smile, "Jingyuan is still brave. I've said I've been there to see you, Uncle Xin is timid."

Liu Qi said annoyedly, "Who said I was timid!" As he said that, he followed the screen.

But before the three of them were approaching, they suddenly heard a loud curse from inside the room, "Huangkou Child!"

The three of them were startled, and Tang Zhennan turned around and left.

Liu Qi grabbed him and whispered, "It's not a scolding us."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no movement in the inner hall.

Liu Qi sneered and said, "Just just now, you are the one who laughs at me for being timid, and you are the one who escapes the fastest now."

Tang Zhennan looked embarrassed and said, "I'm at the end, I'm not happy, you can't escape."

"Shh." Lu Jingyuan turned around and made a silent gesture, and opened a crack in the door. The three of them immediately looked in.

But I saw that on the head of the main room was a middle-aged man with long phoenix eyes, which was Lu Boyan.

The man on the left head is strong and impeached the next one is short-bearded. The man on the Ningxi governor Liu Zhongwu, whose courtesy name is Ziwen. The man on the right head is scarred on his face, tall and thin. The man on the Tiannan General Tang Jichuan, whose courtesy name is Changshan.

In addition, there was a drunken old man with white hair and beard sitting in the first seat of the guest, but he couldn't recognize it.

Lu, Liu and Tang were both rulers and had friendships with each other. Both Lu and Tang families were founding generals and were once friends of the generations. Liu Zhongwu was promoted to the post of his ranks and served with Lu Boyan under Tong Guan, and had a friendship with comrades.

As for the drunken old man, Lu Jingyuan had never seen him before, and he felt strange.

He heard the old man say, "In the past, the court conquered Liao several times, but repeatedly returned without success. The battle of Yancheng was the most ridiculous. Liu Yanqing was not in charge, and Liu Guangshi was even more arrogant. He was arrogant and caused the soldiers to become disheartened. His father and son were incompetent and exhausted the three armies. The Liao territory fell into the hands of the Jin people. What his brother said was that the Jin people were far more vicious than the Khitan. Now they stationed troops in the Nanyuan, clearly having their plans. Some scholars in the court turned a blind eye and pretended to be peaceful, which was even more hateful than the Liu family father and son."

After hearing his name and curse, Lu Boyan and Liu Zhongwu buried their heads in having sex, but did not answer his words.

Only Tang Jichuan said, "As the old coach said, then the Liu family father and son should be punished, but why did I hear that the father and son were appointed again recently?"

Hearing this, Lu Boyan picked up a piece of buckle and put it into Tang Jichuan's bowl, and said, "Changshan, the old coach speaks, and there is a reason for the old coach, you just listen."

The old man shook his head and said, "Ji Chang."

Lu Boyan put down his bowls and chopsticks and said seriously, "Student is here."

The old man said, "You are here in the Battle of Yancheng, are you there too?"

Lu Boyan replied, "Yes, the students recognized the rear device."

The old man said, "How many troops have you led?"

Lu Boyan said, "Terminating 30,000 troops, and there are another 8,000 soldiers."

The old man said, "Then you are also a fool. The Liu family father and son are the head coach, so there are 100,000 void troops. If you have a rear-end system, there will be 38,000 people. Do you see them fleeing for no reason, and you will also run away?"

Hearing this, Lu Boyan's eyes changed, but he didn't wait for him to speak

Tang Jichuan interrupted, "The old general's words are wrong. At that time, Ji Chang was in charge of the rear department. This was a position to manage grain transportation. He was full of old and weak grain officials. Even if he added the unarmed eight thousand soldiers, it would be useless. Seeing that the commander fled and did not withdraw his troops, would he sit and wait for death?"

Lu Boyan hurriedly said, "Changshan, you don't have to excuse me."

He also said to the old man, "What the old coach taught is that even if the students are not the head coach, they cannot be blamed."

The old man sighed and raised his glass and refused to answer.

When Lu Jingyuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but be angry and turned around and asked, "What is the origin of this old man? Such a big air!"

Liu Qi whispered, "Northwest, the family of the Zang."
