Chapter Nine Hundred and Thirty Six: Never Be a Heartless Man
As a courtesan, Lu Zhu has seen many men over the years, like fish and shrimps.
Those men who keep talking about love and love, let alone critical moments, will shrink their necks even if they encounter some setbacks, and no one can even be found.
The sisters shed endless tears, or were kicked out of the brothel, with no way out, and ended up with a miserable ending.
I've seen too much over the years.
Too much!
Luzhu has seen too many such things. Although it has not happened to her, it is because she is popular now and is sought after by others. When the momentum wears off, there will always be such a time. This is not necessary.
Suspect.
The fate of Luzhu will not be much better.
So, when Wang Mi really brought Lu Zhu out of Xuzhou City, Lu Zhu's worship of him had reached its peak.
So manly!
So generous!
This is a hero!
In just that moment, Lu Zhu's love for Wang Mi broke out.
If it weren't for the He brothers' repeated assurances that Wang Mi would come to pick her up in the future and would never leave her alone in the He family, there was no way Luzhu would have followed them.
Luzhu is not an ignorant woman. She understands all the big principles and rules.
When she was in Xuzhou, she had already heard that Wang Shilang had a wife and that he was married. She was indeed a little disappointed.
But only a little bit. After all, with Wang Shilang's age and his glorious family background, marriage is inevitable.
Maybe the baby can even run around his legs.
Furthermore, Lu Zhu was born in a brothel. No matter how hard she said it, she would never get a decent status. As long as she could always follow Wang Mi and have a place to settle down, she would have no regrets.
It's a pity that even this little wish doesn't seem to be so easy to come true now.
While waiting anxiously, Luzhu finally heard Wang Mi's voice. She ran out quickly and finally saw her lover's figure on the edge of the wall.
yes!
Although Wang Mi has never admitted this identity or even knew about it, Lu Zhu has already identified it.
She leaned against the wall and looked lovingly at Wang Mi who was chatting with He Mai on the other side of the wall, but Wang Mi was not aware of her existence at all.
However, she listened to their conversation clearly.
Luzhu doesn't care about right and wrong, nor does she care about court politics, the Queen Mother, or ministers, they all have nothing to do with her.
There is no need to worry that she will leak out these overheard things. There is no possibility at all. Because she only cares about her own affairs.
She was full of emotions and expectations, but she didn't expect that she would end up with a fate that would be ignored.
He Mai was indeed considerate in his work. Although the two of them were discussing serious matters, he did not forget Luzhu and finally mentioned her.
Green Pearl's eyes lit up instantly.
Very good!
Can I follow?
She was filled with joy, but in exchange for it, Wang Shilang said, "Let's talk about the green pearl later. How long will it be? When exactly will it be?"
Could it be that she still wants to live in He Mansion for a long time?
Luzhu couldn't believe her ears or her eyes, so she turned around and returned to the room.
In the future, who knows?
This sentence is not only applicable to Luzhu, but also to Wang Mi and others.
After listening to Wang Mi's speech and understanding the thoughts of the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying, the He brothers were simply amazed.
How is this going?
The empress's statement is so sincere and she is the best solution to the generals and soldiers of Beifu. Why are the He brothers not as excited as they imagined?
The reason for everything is that it is so different from everyone's imagination and completely beyond their imagination, which makes it difficult for people to accept.
Wang Zhenying actually wants to protect Beifu soldiers, even at the expense of Wang Gong's interests?
How is this possible?
The more I listen to it, the more it sounds like a fantasy.
Whose sister is she, Wang Zhenying? Has she changed her family?
Did she discuss this choice with Wang Gong? How could Wang Gong agree? The two siblings would have a huge quarrel!
He Wuji expressed this concern to Wang Mi. Needless to say, He Mai was a blind optimist. He had already believed Wang Zhenying's words without even meeting her in person.
After all, in He Mai's concept, no one would make something out of nothing, such as Wang Zhenying. If she had not had this kind of mentality, there would be no need to say these things to Wang Mi.
Even if she stands with Wang Gong and is ruthless towards the Beifu soldiers, in fact, from her standpoint, this is completely normal.
No one would blame her.
However, her defection to Beifu made people uneasy. It always seemed that she was deliberately luring the enemy deeper. In fact, she was thinking about something else entirely.
Just deceiving.
"Zhiyuan, is the Queen Mother delaying us on purpose to buy time for Aning?"
"Could she be worried that we would strike first, so she deliberately showed her kindness and wanted to wait until we calmed down before reminding Aning to take action?"
It's not impossible!
After all, judging from the current comparison of power, it is obvious that Beifu's power greatly exceeds that of Wang Gong. This is very obvious.
However, once the prisoners were dispersed among various military camps, the seemingly mighty army would be reduced by more than half in an instant.
By that time, the escort troops gathered around Jiankang City, plus the pitiful few troops Wang Gong could mobilize, would not necessarily be Wang Mi's opponent.
After some competition, it is always possible.
At that time, if the troops from Jingkou cannot arrive in time, Wang Mi's side will be in danger. After all, he has lost the initiative.
"Zhiyuan, we must guard against the Queen Mother's move."
Although He Wuji was worried, Wang Shilang did not show any worry.
"Wuji, you think too much."
"I think it is not necessary for the Queen Mother to do this. First of all, she herself said that it is impossible to attack me when the hero has just returned to the capital. In this case, she will lose the support of the court ministers and be unpopular."
"Secondly, although it seems that we are now separated from the army, the Beifu soldiers are still very close to us. As long as we write a letter to Ji Nu, let him stay alert at all times. Once the situation changes, let him
He immediately sent his troops southward, and before Aning could get up, he was already defeated."
"But what if he attacks you personally?"
"We can say that we are defenseless!"
This kind of thing has not never happened in the previous dynasty. Although it is not frequent, it is not uncommon. That is the assassination activity against the minister himself. Several assassins are sent to directly assassinate the powerful minister to consolidate his power.
.
He Wuji always had a hunch. He felt that if Wang Gong was pushed into a hurry, he would be the one who could do such a thing.
When He Wuji said this, Wang Mi was speechless.
Because this is indeed a very possible thing, and even he himself doesn't know how to avoid it.
This kind of thing is more of a sudden inspiration, or there may be no plan at all before, and no clues can be seen. Even Wang Gong, who wants to commit evil, may not have one before he officially takes action.
plan.
How to prevent it?
As long as you live, you have to move and have contact with people. Who knows which of these people is the enemy and which is the hidden killer?
What's more, Wang Mi still has to continue to prepare for the formation of Beifu soldiers and supervise the production of firearms. There are so many things to do. After the prisoner presentation ceremony, he will get busy.
Being so busy, to be honest, Wang Mi couldn't seriously guard against Wang Aning's evil hands.
He couldn't be like Xie An, who stayed at home all day long, and didn't even have to go to court. This might be able to prevent other people's evil hands, but Wang Mi didn't have such conditions.
Therefore, he could not refute He Wuji's concerns.
"Wuji, having said that, I think what the Queen Mother said is right. If you kill me, it will not be of any benefit to the current Jin Dynasty court. Even if it is for the sake of the court and the sake of the country,
Even if Jin considers it, Aning will not take action."
This Wang Shilang is also very strange. Others hate him and want to do evil things, but they can't tolerate him at all. He still calls An Ning one after another, as if the two of them are still good friends.
Could it be that he is short-sighted?
Or is it a serious attack of the Father's heart?
"What's the explanation for this?"
This time, He Wuji really didn't understand, he didn't understand at all.
Why!
This definitely requires Wang Mi to explain carefully.
"Wuji, the key lies in Beifu. Wang Gong wants to kill me. The key is to be afraid of the power behind me. My brothers in Beifu have followed me through life and death and are loyal to me. This makes Wang Gong's position very embarrassing."
"Although he is the prime minister, he cannot mobilize any army within the territory at all, especially the most powerful Beifu soldiers, which are not under his control. He will indeed be constrained and very uncomfortable."
"However, even if you get rid of me, Beifu will still not fall into the hands of Aning. Without me, there will still be you Wuji and Jinu. You are all young generals who grew up in Beifu. Who can
Will you obey An Ning’s orders?”
"If Beifu and the imperial court can still be considered to be in peace and harmony now, and can maintain it for a period of time, once Aning takes action against me, there is no need to quibble, then it will be obvious that he will take action against Beifu, and the two sides will be at loggerheads.
.”
"I don't think the soldiers in Beifu will sit still and wait for death. Then, Wang Gong's position will be even more unstable."
"It is even more impossible to achieve his goal of controlling Beifu. Isn't this unnecessary?"
yes!
This is indeed the truth!
He Wuji suddenly understood and his whole body felt refreshed.
"It seems like Wang Gong will never dare to act rashly!"
"That's good!"
"I feel relieved now!"
He Wuji and He Mai both turned to smiles. Seeing that they were relieved, Wang Mi was also very pleased.
Although you can rest assured for the time being, you must not relax on the things that need to be prepared.
Many things only came to mind at once. For example, if he didn't talk about this incident, Wang Mi would not have been able to remember to write a letter to Zhinu.
This matter must be implemented immediately without any delay, and a reliable person must be found to deliver the letter to Jingkou. It must not be handled casually.
To prevent the news from leaking.
"alright!"
"Take me to see Lu Zhu, and I'll take her back."
"Go back now?"
"too fast!"
After all the serious matters were discussed, Wang Mi mentioned Lvzhu. Of course he had not forgotten this beauty, but the matters at the court just now were more urgent and there was no time to deal with them.
However, He Mai had no intention of releasing her immediately. Not only did she not want to release her, but he also showed a worried expression.
"Of course!"
"Staying here with you is really too annoying. Besides, this is my business, so there is no need to delay it."
"Have you really made up your mind?" He Mai was still worried and asked again.
"Zhiyuan, don't blame us for not reminding you. Your wife is not easy to mess with. She is very powerful. You just brought Lvzhu back to your home like this. Think about it, can you get in?"
Why!
Although we are all men, no one wants to end up like this, and they don't even want to mention it, but when the matter has reached this point, we should face reality.
The reality is that Xie Minghui is famous throughout Jiankang City for her fiery temper. For such a unruly beauty, who has just gotten married, I know that she will never tolerate Lu Zhu.
"This... the door should still be accessible." When he spoke again, Wang Shilang's attitude became somewhat relaxed.
His eyes were also dodged repeatedly, not daring to look at his brothers.
Looking at his lack of confidence, you can tell that he is not sure at all.
Therefore, He Mai wanted to persuade him even more.
"Zhiyuan, in my opinion, you can let Madam Lvzhu stay with us for a few days. Anyway, we don't have any family members in Jiankang City, so it won't be inconvenient."
"As for you, you'd better go back and spend some time with your wife. Find an opportunity to talk to her and don't let her misunderstand."
"There is no misunderstanding. Let me tell you, Zhiyuan, you don't have to take Lu Zhu back home at all, just let her live with us first. As for you, find a suitable free time to find a house, and then let her live with us.
Wouldn’t it be better to take him out for placement?”
"Give her some money and find a few slaves to serve her. Isn't this all right? She will be unaware of it and no one will know about it. Naturally, the lady can hide it if she can, and she can't let her know.
"
"Don't you know a woman's temper?"
"Even if you do nothing, just bring such a beautiful lady back home and let her know about it, you will still be justified and you will be stripped of your skin."
"It's better to hide it like this and not let the lady know. When the time comes, Lu Zhu will be placed there. With Lu Zhu's temper, she won't go to the house to tell the truth, and no one will know, and neither will our brothers.
Will talk too much."
"This way, my wife's mood will be better, and you won't have to waste energy arguing, and you won't be blamed. Isn't it a good thing?"
Yeah yeah!
If this could be done, it would indeed be a good thing and it would indeed reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble, but is this possible?
First of all, the news that Lu Zhu followed Wang Mi back to the city may not be as airtight as everyone imagined.
No one else really knows that once the news is leaked, Wang Mi's situation will be even worse. Xie Minghui is not a very suspicious person, but once she gets a handle on it, the good Wang Mi will become a housekeeper.
