When Lin Gu thought about it, his thoughts couldn't help but wander.

Many of my friends who were officials in the same dynasty are gone.

He can be regarded as an old minister, but now he is not having a good time in the court, and he is being ostracized a lot.

What he is thinking about right now is naturally to train some capable and upright ministers to assist the emperor.

Otherwise, given his character, he would never be able to do such a thing.

Lu Chensheng was helpless when he heard this. He knew what the other person was thinking.

The problem is, if Lu Chensheng is the person in power, he will naturally like such ministers.

But from Lu Chensheng's point of view, the other party failed to fulfill what he promised, and the matter of water control was revealed like this, which made Lu Chensheng feel a little uncomfortable.

"I think Lord Lin also knows that I don't want to be an official. Even if Lord Lin has his own considerations, in the end he has violated his promise to me."

Lu Chensheng drank a cup of tea and replied.

Lin Gu nodded when he heard this. He really couldn't explain this matter.

"By the way, why can you know that I am Lu Chensheng?"

The other party came directly to the door, which made Lu Chensheng a little strange. Who told the other party his identity?

"Of course it's Zhongshu Ling."

Lu Chensheng's face froze when he heard this.

Didn't you tell the other party before not to reveal your identity? Why doesn't this old man keep his word?

Lin Gu looked at Lu Chensheng's appearance and immediately understood what Lu Chensheng was thinking.

"Zhongshu Ling has made some big moves recently, so he contacted us, our friends from the DPRK and China. In order to convince us, he revealed your identity."

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he thought that he had asked the other party to replace the people in the general with people he could trust, and his expression softened slightly.

"Originally I wanted you to become an official, but now that I see it, judging from Zhongshu Ling's attitude, you probably won't become an official anymore."

Lin Gu was also a little helpless.

When he heard the news, he was stunned for a long time.

I originally thought that since Lu Chensheng came to the imperial capital, he would become an official.

When Lu Chensheng becomes an official, he is looking for an opportunity to come to visit and apologize properly, so that everyone can unite in the court in the future.

But I never expected that Lu Chensheng was actually a descendant of the Lu family.

This male member of the Lu family had just been assassinated cleanly, and the Zhongshu Ling was now resolute in not wanting Lu Chensheng to become an official.

As a result, Lu Chensheng should have no hope of becoming an official.

After he knew Lu Chensheng's identity, he tried to persuade Zhongshu Ling to come, but unfortunately the other party's attitude was extremely firm.

Lin Gu tried his best to talk, but the other party's attitude did not change.

When Lin Gu said this, his lips were slightly dry. He didn't mind that the tea was from yesterday, so he picked it up and took a sip.

"Just give up on this. I won't get into official positions."

Lu Chensheng answered very firmly.

Lin Gu smiled bitterly and nodded when he heard this, "Then I wonder how I plan to capture Jiyun City?"

Lin Gu no longer talked about this matter, but asked about Jiyun City.

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he glanced at Lin Gu, then shook his head, "We can't talk about this matter."

He couldn't trust Lu Qiping, and naturally he couldn't trust Lin Gu, Lu Chensheng either.

Lin Gu was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately realized that Lu Chensheng was on guard against him.

If gunpowder was really used, with such huge power, Lu Chensheng would not believe that the other party would not report it.

What Lu Chensheng is now thinking about is how to use gunpowder without letting people in the imperial capital know about it.

Naturally, he would not tell Lin Gu.

Lin Gu shook his head when he saw this, and stopped asking. The other party was already wary of him, and I am afraid that such suspicion will not relax in a short time.

"Then how successful is the capture?"

Lu Qiping no longer asked what method the other party used, he only cared about whether it could succeed.

"We don't know yet, but Jiyunchen must be taken down as soon as possible. The Tatars are obviously delaying something. No matter what the other party is delaying, we can't give them another chance."

Lu Chensheng said coldly after hearing this.

When Lin Gu heard this, he nodded immediately, that was indeed the case.

In fact, many people have already seen that the other party is delaying, but this Jiyun City is not so easy to defeat.

Lu Chensheng didn't say what the success rate was, and Lin Gu didn't ask any more questions.

In view of Lu Chensheng's method of controlling the flood, he felt that the possibility of Lu Chensheng's success was still very high.

After all, at this moment, he felt that what Lu Chensheng said and did during the flood control process was like a stroke of genius.

After Lin Gu stayed for a while, he turned and left.

Seeing the other party leaving, Lu Chensheng did not go out to deliver it, but just asked Chuwu to collect the tea sets.

"Master Lin is also very loyal."

Qiong Yue saw Lin Gu leaving, looked at her husband who was still a little upset, and said with a smile.

Lu Chensheng nodded, "Yes, he is indeed loyal enough, but it is not of any benefit to us."

Qiong Yue also knew that her husband was a little unhappy, and the other party betrayed her, so she didn't say anything.

A few days later, the carpenters and others in Taohuawu all came to the imperial capital, and they all settled in the yard purchased on the fifth day of the lunar month.

After Lu Chensheng heard the news, he immediately took Chu Wu to the courtyard.

"I've met the shopkeeper!"

Seeing Lu Chensheng's arrival, the carpenter and others shouted in gratitude.

Although it was a long way to get to the imperial capital, they didn't take it to heart. When they were bought by Lu Chensheng, they were already Lu Chensheng's domestic slaves.

They had to do whatever Lu Chensheng told them to go.

Regarding this, they had no complaints at all.

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he nodded slightly and looked at the guy brought by the carpenters.

"I have called you in because I have something for you. It is a very important thing. The most important thing is what you are going to do next. No one can leak a word about it."

Lu Chensheng looked seriously and said to the carpenters.

The Lu family also had some carpenters, but Lu Chensheng couldn't believe it, so he brought these family members over.

When the carpenter and others heard this, they all agreed.

"You all know that this is the imperial capital. In order to keep it secret, you cannot leave this courtyard. When the matter is finished, the shopkeeper will take you back to Fufeng City."

Seeing everyone responding, Lu Chensheng's expression softened slightly and he spoke again.

The carpenter and others did not object. In fact, there was no difference between staying here and staying in Taohuawu.
