"Oh, that's it." Lu Zhan nodded, "I just heard that the situation in the capital is very chaotic. I didn't expect that the struggle at the pinnacle of power in this country is so confusing and chaotic; and the source is actually within the royal family. Is this possible?
Doesn’t His Majesty the Emperor know? Does His Majesty just ignore it?”
"Is this..." Governor Sima shook his head, "When the emperor was young, he personally went on an expedition to the sea. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured in a battle. Although he had been nursed back to health for many years and was assisted by third-level healing elixirs, after all, he left behind some extremely
Adverse sequelae. In addition, as he has grown older over the years, old injuries have recurred. He has been tortured by the pain.
He has less involvement in state affairs. Most of the time, state affairs are jointly decided by the state advisor, the fourth prince, the eighth prince and others. As for the prince, he has more contact with the inner palace, and most of the eunuchs in the palace are controlled by him.
He is in control, so he is fully aware of the emperor’s actions and actions, but other people, on the other hand, do not know the emperor’s true attitude.”
Lu Zhan remembered the fat, fair man in green brocade he had bumped into at Ghost Face Cliff. At that time, the man claimed to be the fourth prince and was very interested in him. He kept trying to win over him, Lu Zhan. He thought that guy was the fourth prince who was trying to win over him.
A liaison between cooperative forces.
And a royal liaison actually had business dealings with an anti-military leader like "General Duobao", which shows that this fourth prince has long lost his basic conscience and tolerance.
Wu Ju saw Lu Zhan sitting there in silence, thinking that he still didn't understand what the struggle among the royal families was about, so he asked him bluntly: "Generally speaking, if a person wants to develop in his official career, most of the time
You will choose to go to the capital to strive for fame and fortune. But after entering the capital, you will inevitably be involved in the overt and covert struggles among the major forces. If your nephew goes to the capital now, which direction will you choose?"
Lu Zhan looked into his eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what the town commander meant when he said this, so he could only say in a tentative tone: "I don't know much about the major forces in the capital, so it's not easy to immediately
Make a judgment."
"Let's put it this way. I'll give you a choice." Governor Sima on the side came over and said: "Although there are so many different forces in the capital, they are intertwined. But in general, there are only a few biggest forces: One is the prince's side.
.He controls all the forces in the capital city and the inner courtyard of the palace. The prince himself does not have much ability, but he has the support of the national master. The martial arts attainments of the national master have reached the realm of transformation.
In the later stage, I am the number one warrior in Da Chu. With his support, no matter how incompetent the prince is, he is still a force that cannot be underestimated. The second is the fourth prince, who controls the country's financial and diplomatic forces.
; The third is His Highness the Eighth Prince, he mainly controls military affairs, especially the armies in all towns and villages are under his jurisdiction. If you make a choice among these three major forces, who will you choose to follow?"
Lu Zhan sat there, resting his chin on his hand and pondered. In fact, he had already made a decision in his mind. Their Lu family had been operating in the capital for many years. Lu Bufan's two sons were both engaged in business in the capital. So Lu Bufan once talked to him
Since then, the Lu family has always taken refuge with the Eighth Prince.
Under his command, Lu Zhan is now worried about which side Governor Sima and Wu Ju are on. If he tells them clearly that Lu Mansion is on the side of the Eighth Prince, but Governor Sima and Wu Ju are on the other side.
The prince's words would inevitably be detrimental to his Lu family.
Along the way, Lu Zhan has experienced many life-and-death fights and cunning calculations, and now he has learned to be patient and make decisions before taking action.
So he said to Sima Xinge in a tentative tone: "Because I have not been in that environment, it is difficult for my nephew to draw a conclusion on this, but please give me a clear path."
This sentence obviously suited Governor Sima's feelings. He smiled and said, "Then I would like to suggest that you, my dear nephew, follow His Highness the Eighth Prince."
When Lu Zhan heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Because His Highness the Eighth Prince is wise, loves the people, is a steady man, and has a resolute character."
Governor Sima continued to add insult to injury: "My dear nephew, think about it, the barbarians, Yi tribes, Hai tribes and other foreign tribes, as well as the Sui Kingdom, Sangyang Kingdom and other enemy countries have continuously invaded our Dachu border, and they have always been safe and sound.
All the troops at the border are able to keep the country safe. Why is this? Isn’t it because of His Highness the Eighth Prince’s strategizing and knowledge. This kind of character is the real one.
You are the perfect choice to rule the country. Moreover, my nephew, you have reached the level of martial arts masters. Once you join the army in the future, your future will be limitless. Therefore, I suggest that you serve His Highness the Eighth Prince and assist with your talents.
, If you can help His Highness the Eighth Prince achieve great things in the future, then you, my dear nephew, will be an excellent blessing to the people of the world and your personal future."
"Haha, what you said is absolutely true." Lu Zhan bowed and said, "It's a pity that even if my nephew wants to defect to His Highness the Eighth Prince, he may not be ignored. After all, my nephew is just a commoner now."
Governor Sima and Commander-in-Chief Wu were waiting for Lu Zhan to say this. He raised his eyebrows, leaned his head close to Lu Zhan, and said with a smile: "If your nephew is recommended by me, Sima Xingge, then that is a different matter.
Well, His Highness the Eighth Prince and I have been close friends for eight years, so how could he not take the people I recommend seriously?"
Lu Zhan's eyes lit up and his face showed joy: "Does Governor Sima really want to recommend my nephew to work for His Highness the Eighth Prince?"
"Yes, we have that intention." Sima Xingge glanced at Wu Ju, nodded repeatedly and said
"Thank you very much, Governor Sima and Commander Wu for your support." Lu Zhan thanked him.
Wu Ju sat aside, twirling his beard with his hand and a smile on his lips. Obviously he was very satisfied with this arrangement. Because the commander-in-chief of the town was also one of the Eighth Prince's confidants. If the Eighth Prince was in the current precarious situation in the capital,
In such a situation, it would be the best thing to have a young hero like Lu Zhan beside him to help him.
"My dear nephew, please sit here and wait for a moment. I will write you a letter of recommendation right away." After finishing speaking, Governor Sima walked out quickly.
Lu Zhan immediately sat in the hall and started chatting with Wu Ju. Ju obviously liked Lu Zhan, so he taught him some things he should pay attention to after coming to the capital, and who in the court was upright and trustworthy;
Who are the treacherous villains who must be watched out for? By the way, they also chatted about which places have good scenery and are worth visiting; which places have beautiful food and should be tasted. It seems that Commander Wu is very nostalgic for the city of Chu Jing.
style.
When the two were talking in high spirits, Governor Sima came out with a letter in his hand and handed it to Lu Zhan, saying: "Take this letter of recommendation to see His Highness the Eighth Prince. After he reads the letter, he will make appropriate arrangements."
Yours, my dear nephew. This letter not only bears the official seal of my Governor’s Mansion, but also my
A private seal of an individual. You can also use this letter as a certificate from the officers and soldiers of Hongzhou. When you encounter a post station, checkpoint or official interrogation along the way, just show this letter from the officers and soldiers, and I believe no one will
I dare to come and embarrass you. Otherwise, I am disobeying military orders and shall be executed according to the law."
Lu Zhan took the letter and unfolded it. He saw that Governor Sima had written an extremely enthusiastic letter of recommendation in small regular script. Below the signature of the letter was a square red lacquer official seal of the Governor's Mansion. In addition, there were
It was covered with a rectangular dark red private seal, and in the middle of the seal was engraved "Sima Xingge Seal" in ancient seal script. These four ancient seal characters shone like fireflies.
Lu Zhan thanked Governor Sima and kept the letter of recommendation close to his body. Next, Sima Xingge took care of some details for him after arriving in the capital.
That night, Lu Zhan stayed in the Governor's Mansion for dinner, and the guests and hosts had a great conversation. Although Lu Zhan was a junior, Sima Xingge and Wu Ju were both from the military, and they had bold personalities and were informal. In addition, the two of them were
He lowered his profile and deliberately made friends, so he quickly became familiar with Lu Zhan.
These two experts at the Huajin Realm had a good impression of Lu Zhan, so they took the initiative to teach him, a novice who had just entered the Huajin Realm, how to better inject Qi into the weapon and control the weapon with spiritual thoughts; how to use Qi to control the weapon.
Body protection, condensing into a qi machine cover for defense; and how to transform energy into void. The secret to controlling qi and flying.
These techniques were really valuable experiences and insights for Lu Zhan. The three of them talked until very late at night before enjoying themselves. Lu Zhan reluctantly left the Governor's Mansion and returned to the inn to make preparations for going to Beijing.
After Lu Zhan returned to the "Shimen Inn", he first wrote a letter home. In the letter, he explained to Lu Bufan what he had experienced in the secret realm of the Black Evil Valley. He also mentioned that he had advanced to the realm of Huajin and obtained the title of Sima Da.
On the recommendation of the Governor, I will go to the Eighth Prince to seek development.
After finishing writing, he handed the letter to Xi Liuzi and asked him to return to Lu Mansion immediately the next morning and hand the letter to Lu Bufan. Xi Liuzi originally wanted to go to Beijing with Lu Zhan to see more, but now he has received it
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with this errand, so I had to say resentfully: "Boss, when Liuzi returns to Yunmeng City and delivers the letter home, he will come to the capital to find you. You old man, please don't go to Qinlou Chu Pavilion or Yanzhi Lane to play by yourself first.
oh."
Lu Zhan could only nodded, dumbfounded.
Finally, he returned to his room, washed up, and prepared to rest.
He felt something touching his ankle, lowered his head and saw that the little thunder-winged snow tiger was playing with his boots with its young teeth.
He chuckled and bent down to pick up the little snow tiger and patted his head gently a few times. At this time, a troublesome thing came to his mind, which was how to deal with the little snow tiger.
If Xi Liuzi was allowed to take it back to the Lu Mansion, he would worry about whether the little snow tiger would be suitable to live in the Lu Mansion once it grew up into an adult beast; but if it were to be released into the wild, he would be worried about whether the snow tiger would be suitable to live in the Lu Mansion once it grew up.
It has left a legacy in the world and has become an evil beast that has hurt countless people. The best way is to carry it with you and train it well, so that it can become a powerful assistant to you in the future.
But if you really have to carry a thunder-winged snow tiger around the world at any time, I'm afraid it would be a bit shocking.
When Lu Zhan was wondering what to do with this little snow tiger, he suddenly thought of the small world in his Dantian.
The new world is now more than a hundred hectares in size, with hills, land, streams, and vegetation. It is simply a small natural world. But in this new world, the only thing missing is living creatures.
How about putting this little snow tiger into the small world of Dantian? In this way, wouldn’t it be easier to carry it around with you?
Lu Zhan suddenly had this whim: Since plants can be grown inside, animals should also be raised.
Thinking of this, he decided to give it a try.
