Xie Zhen was slightly surprised when he received the message from his subordinates.
He knew that the relationship between Shen Lan and his wife might be more special than he imagined.
Wen Yueqi has been in Wei'anbao for a while, and Xie Zhen has a certain understanding of Wen Yueqi. He knows that if Shen Lan is just Wen Yueqi's close friend, Wen Yueqi will not be able to let himself and her Let's go together to meet Shen Lan.
However, Xie Zhen still didn't care too much about Shen Lan.
Xie Zhen is Lu Xu’s old brother. Even if Lu Xu doesn’t say it explicitly, the old brothers all know very well. Lu Xu’s future ambitions are beyond words!
It can be seen from Lu Xu's attitude towards the imperial court and its officials. In Lu Xu's mind, the imperial court is probably nothing. What will such a person do once he has mastered absolute force? There is no need to think about this question at all. Old brothers who have seen the darkest things in the world know it all.
However, none of the old brothers, including Xie Zhen, had any objections to this.
After all, the dark things they saw were caused by the imperial court. If it weren't for the imperial court, many of them would still be living a good life with their wives and children on the bed.
Although they are now getting married under the auspices of the imperial court, if no one takes them to do something big, they will never want to see their previous wives and children again in this life.
What's more, many of their family members have long been taken as slaves by the imperial court. It's hard to say whether they are still alive now.
These people naturally hate the imperial court very much. In the past, when they were powerless against the imperial court, they could not make any waves. But now that they have a strong leader, everything is different. .
Therefore, even though Xie Zhen knew that Shen Lan's identity might not be simple, he still didn't have much respect for her.
It's just that he doesn't have to be in awe of Shen Lan, but he still has to be in awe of Wen Yueqi.
Therefore, he carried out the lady's instructions without any compromise.
Xie Zhen personally greeted Wen Yueqi at the fort gate, and then followed Wen Yueqi to greet Shen Lan.
When Shen Lan heard in the carriage that Wen Yueqi was coming out, she didn't ask for help. Instead, she stepped out of the carriage with gentle steps and took the initiative to meet Wen Yueqi.
After the two met, Shen Lan took the lead in saluting Wen Yueqi. Wen Yueqi did not dare to accept Shen Lan's salute and quickly supported Shen Lan with her hands.
Shen Lan stood firm and held Wen Yueqi's hand behind her back and said, "Sister, I knew you still remembered me."
Wen Yueqi said with some emotion: "What are you talking about, sister? Isn't my sister the kind of person who forgets kindness after receiving kindness from others?"
Shen Lan smiled and said: "Mainly, my sister didn't help much at that time? And my sister was only lucky enough to meet her once, so..."
Wen Yueqi smiled and said to Shen Lan: "Okay, little sister, please go home with your elder sister first."
After saying that, Wen Yueqi pointed at Xie Zhen and said, "This is Commander Xie, a colleague of your brother-in-law."
Shen Lan saluted Xie Zhen: "Hello, Commander Xie."
Xie Zhen quickly returned the gift: "Miss Shen is so polite!"
Seeing Xie Zhen's neither humble nor arrogant attitude towards her, Shen Lan was quite appreciative.
Even if Shen Lan's identity is mysterious, being greeted by Wen Yueqi personally out of the city is enough to show that Shen Lan's identity is far above Xie Zhen. But Xie Zhen can still treat himself without any psychological pressure, which is enough to show that Lu Xu's subordinates How not simple is it?
And for Xie Zhen to be able to do this, his disciple was naturally given to him by Lu Xu. This also shows how outstanding Lu Xu’s leadership charisma and talent are?
Thinking of this, Shen Lan turned around and said to his servants: "You can find a place to camp outside the fort. Xia Yan, you come with me."
The servants of the Shen family followed the order and left. Only a little maid followed Shen Lan's footsteps.
Wen Yueqi said: "Sister, why are you doing this? You don't bring too many people, we can still live in Wei'an Fort."
Shen Lan said in Wen Yueqi's ear: "Sister knows what I do, sister. With fewer people, we can avoid a lot of trouble."
After hearing this, Wen Yueqi no longer objected. Instead, she led Shen Lan into Wei'an Fort.
Facts have proved that Shen Lan made the right decision to ask Xie Zhen to come with her. The Han family's sister-in-law and others had already been waiting in the city.
But when they saw Xie Zhen, they hesitated again. Based on their understanding of Wen Yueqi, she would not easily use Lu Xu's men no matter what. If she did it now, it would only mean that this There are things behind it that others don't know.
Therefore, although the Han family's sister-in-law and others were still hostile to Shen Lan, they did not dare to act rashly after all!
After Xie Zhen sent Shen Lan and others to Lu Xu's residence, he returned to the military camp to take charge of military affairs.
Shen Lan looked at Lu Xu's official residence, which was half cave dwelling and half mansion. She said with some surprise: "This yard is really unique. Sister, I have never seen a yard like this in my whole life."
Wen Yueqi said with a smile: "It's not because our Wei'an Fort is too small to accommodate an official residence, so the craftsmen found another way to build such a courtyard."
Shen Lan was amazed: "The craftsmen in Wei'anbao are really good. I also want a yard like this. Sister, I have to take a good look at your house. When I go back, I will also ask my family to build a yard like this for me." come out."
Wen Yueqi smiled and nodded: "It depends on you, everything depends on you."
Shen Lan suddenly became curious: "Sister, didn't you know beforehand that I was coming?"
Wen Yueqi asked with some confusion: "Should I know?"
Immediately, the smart Wen Yueqi thought of something, and she said with some surprise: "Have you met your brother-in-law?"
Shen Lan happily threw herself on Wen Yueqi and said, "Sister, you are still so smart. When Brother Lu went to Qinzhou Mansion, I happened to have just settled in Qinzhou Mansion, so wouldn't there be an opportunity for us to cooperate? "
Wen Yueqi smacked her lips: "Listen to this brother, are you wearing men's clothes again?"
Shen Lan smiled and said: "My little sister, I only have this few hobbies. Sister, you don't know about it?"
Wen Yueqi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Yes, back then you even wore men's clothes to tease my sister."
Shen Lan's little face turned a little red at that time: "Sister, don't mention that incident, it's so embarrassing! It's also my fault that my sister is so powerful. I haven't used all the tricks I've saved yet, so I My sister exposed me."
"If my elder sister hadn't left some face for me, little sister, I might not have been able to survive in the capital."
Wen Yueqi gently patted Shen Lan: "Who told you to be so naughty! Tell me? What do you want to do when you come to Wei'an Fort this time?"
Shen Lan said proudly: "What else can I do here? Find out information!"
