"That's what you said!" Wu Ningyuan smiled, still with gratitude in his eyes, and said to Lu Heng: "All the emperor's sons have this kind of quality. ""Can you say that the exiled King of Jin did not have this kind of quality?
Doesn't the king of Shu have such qualities? Even the weakest king of Wu has the courage to give it a try. However, these people were ruined by their shit-eating staff. If they meet a good teacher, it is difficult to protect them
It is a pity that he is not an able minister in governing the country."
Speaking of these opponents who have disappeared in the struggle for political power, Wu Ningyuan sighed for a long time.
While talking and laughing, there was a slight aura of the past in the vicissitudes of his eyebrows.
Lu Heng smiled, picked up the teapot, and helped Wu Ningyuan fill it.
Wu Ning picked up the tea cup from afar and looked at Lu Heng with a smile.
The two raised their glasses and touched them gently.
After Wu Ningyuan took a sip of tea, he put down the teacup, smashed his mouth, shook his head and sighed: "What a pity, these princes have been led astray!"
Under the dim candlelight, Wu Ning looked at the candlestick from a distance, feeling a little regretful and heartbroken.
After all, he was his nephew, but now he died and was exiled. The battle between the Zhou royal family had such a tragic result, and this old man who was nearly seventy years old could not help but feel sad in his heart.
Lu Heng glanced at Wu Ningyuan, stretched out his hand, patted the old man's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Look at it, there are no two days in the sky, and no two kings in the country!
It’s normal! Besides, if it’s as you think, and I become Prince Jin’s teacher, what does that have to do with Xiao Wu?”
Seeing Lu Heng joking, Wu Ning far from laughing. Instead, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
Wu Ningyuan sighed and shook off the sadness in his heart. He raised his head, looked at Lu Heng expectantly, and asked softly: "In the spring of next year, will you go to the old wine that the emperor buried under the Peach Blossom Spring?"
Do you want to drink?”
Hearing this, Lu Heng's hand holding the tea cup paused for a moment. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he picked up the tea and took a sip.
After putting down the tea cup, he leaned back slightly. He leaned on the chair and sighed softly: "Forget it!"
Wu Ningyuan's body trembled slightly, his eyes full of sadness, he looked away, sighed softly, and murmured: "Is it true that I can't go back?"
A wry smile appeared on Lu Heng's lips and he shook his head.
The candle burned quietly and fell on the candlestick with tears.
The bean-like candle flame exuded a dim light.
Outside, I don't know when the wind started blowing.
The whistling wind blew against the window lattice. On the window lattice, the window paper with a small hole was trembling.
The wind blew into the room, and the candlelight swayed gently.
Lu Heng sat there with calm eyes and saw that the candle was almost extinguished by the wind. He slowly stood up and stretched out his hand to cover the beating candle.
On the side, Monk Fahai stood up gently, walked to the window, and glued the broken window paper together. Then he yawned, smiled apologetically at Lu Heng, turned and walked to the back hall.
Before leaving, Monk Fahai did not forget to knock Agui, who was sleeping soundly on the table.
"What, are you done talking?" Agui held up his numb arms, sat up, rubbed his blurry eyes, and asked in a daze.
Fahai held his stomach and looked uncomfortable. He grinned and said, "I've eaten so much that I need to go to the toilet. Do you want to go?"
Agui, who had woken up, saw the young master and the prince sitting opposite him, who were saying nothing. His eyes were full of clarity, he smiled, nodded and said: "Let's go together, let's go together!"
Afterwards, the two of them hooked up and left.
Wu Ningyuan's soldiers were also confused after being woken up. After scratching their heads, they followed Agui and Monk Fahai out.
In the huge room, only Lu Heng and Wu Ningyuan were left.
The two sat across from each other and looked at each other quietly.
"Actually..." After a long silence, Lu Heng smiled slightly, looked at Wu Ningyuan, and said: "Actually, this may not be what the emperor wants to see. As it is now, the emperor does not have to worry about my great achievements and my big tail.
. And I also enjoy my leisure time, traveling around mountains and rivers every day, and having a great time. Both of them got what they wanted, which is beneficial to both me and the emperor. ""What do you think?"
"But, I always feel different from before!" Wu Ningyuan didn't understand this truth. He knew that Lu Heng sacrificed his own interests to fulfill the emperor's wish. He sighed in his heart and admired Lu Heng's broad mind.
I also feel helpless at His Majesty's suspicion.
Thinking of the days when the emperor, himself and Lu Heng drank and had fun in the past, they were still nostalgic in their hearts. Wu Ningyuan sighed softly and said regretfully: "I'm unfamiliar!"
Lu Heng smiled, picked up the tea cup in his hand, shook it gently, and said calmly: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times!"
"Good words, haha." Wu Ningyuan remembered Lu Heng's poem very clearly. At this time, hearing Lu Heng talk about this poem, Wu Ningyuan's heart moved and he asked tentatively: "But, what if I hope
We have been together for a long time, how can we share the beauty of the beauty even though we are thousands of miles apart?"
Lu Heng glared at him and rolled his eyes.
After a moment of silence, Lu Heng raised his hand casually and picked out the dancing candlestick with the bamboo stick in his hand: "Oh, peach blossoms, peach blossoms can be found everywhere. It seems that there is another one in the small yard where I live in Jiangning.
!”
Thinking of the peach blossom garden hidden in the morning mist by the Qinhuai River, a warm smile appeared on Lu Heng's face.
Although we were a little poorer during those days, we still really miss them.
"I just don't know if the small courtyard is still there?" Lu Heng sighed lightly and said with a wry smile.
But Wu Ningyuan heard something else from these words. After hearing Lu Heng's worry, Wu Ningyuan nodded quickly and said: "Here, here. In perfect condition! After you leave, Jiangning Prefecture will take care of your small courtyard."
It has been turned into a restricted area and no one can disturb it! It’s fine now!”
After Lu Heng was silent for a moment, he poured out the tea leaves in the cup. He raised his head and looked at Wu Ningyuan with flashing eyes. He hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom next year, can Duke Ning Yuan come to visit?"
Small courtyard, have a drink?”
Wu Ningyuan nodded quickly, and then asked tentatively: "It's just you and me?"
Lu Heng was silent for a moment, put the tea cup on the table, took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter if there are more people, it's lively!"
Wu Ningyuan was immediately relieved, with a happy smile on his face.
…
At midnight, in the tavern, the plan for arresting and counterinsurgency was completely finalized.
Lu Heng took out the intelligence and news that Yanyun Guard had gathered in the past few days and handed it over to Wu Ningyuan. Then he was happy and relaxed, hiding aside and watching the excitement.
Wu Ningyuan was naturally unhappy about being used as a gunman. However, he also knew that Lu Heng had learned about his relationship with Huang Guoan, so he ignored it and let him deal with Huang Guoan.
After all, Huang Guoan was once his subordinate.
Regarding Lu Heng's affection, although Wu Ningyuan muttered that Lu Heng was irresponsible, he was still grateful in his heart.
After memorizing all the people on the list, Wu Ningyuan was about to go out with his soldiers.
Behind him, Lu Heng stood up to see him off and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Duke Ning Yuan on his triumphant return!"
Seeing Wu Ningyuan grinning, Lu Heng turned around and said to the waiter: "I'm hungry after chatting all night. Waiter, are the dishes ready? Hurry!"
The grateful smile on Wu Ningyuan's face suddenly froze.
I have been sleeping day and night and sleeping in the open for several days. I have not had a hot meal yet.
In particular, from yesterday to today, Wu Ningyuan, who was worried about something, had not even eaten a single meal. He had just drank a pot of water.
Especially when the waiter in the shop greeted the guys and brought the wine and food. Smelling the mouth-watering fragrance in the air, Wu Ningyuan thought with his stomach gurgling and kept swallowing his saliva.
"Oh, Your Majesty, please go and arrest people. Don't worry, we will kill this little food for you!" Lu Heng lowered his head and ate happily while waving to Wu Ningyuan at the door.
On purpose, this guy definitely did it on purpose.
Especially when he saw Agui licking a piece of oily chicken leg until it made a buzzing sound, Wu Ning's hungry eyes became dizzy.
When he saw Agui open his big mouth and put a piece of chicken drumstick into his mouth, Wu Ningyuan's heart trembled. That bite seemed to bite him in the heart, it was so painful.
Wu Ningyuan licked his lips, then summoned up great perseverance and looked away from the dinner table with difficulty.
Taking a deep breath, he walked out of the tavern with dignity.
If you are jealous of me, I will not be fooled.
The door was closed with a bang. In the tavern, Lu Heng and Agui Fahai looked at each other and laughed.
However, they were not happy for a moment yet.
I heard the door click and was kicked open.
Wu Ningyuan and his three soldiers swept past like a strong wind. With the force of the wind and the remaining clouds, they ate all the food and wine on the table.
Wu Ningyuan lifted up Fahai's cassock, wiped his mouth, touched his bulging belly, and burped happily.
Then, under the stunned gazes of Lu Heng and the others, Wu Ningyuan said a word and walked away with three soldiers.
"You can only fight when you are full!"
…
when ugly,
Each operational unit arrived at the designated location one after another.
Then, there was a loud blast in the sky. The team involved in the arrest broke in through the door and caught the official involved in the case who was sleeping with his concubine in his arms in the gentle village.
As intelligence came in one after another, Wu Ningyuan became even more furious. One piece of intelligence showed that half of these officials were captured in brothels.
What kind of dog officials does the imperial court have?
In front of the government office, there are many soldiers and armors, and torches are burning.
Wu Ningyuan, who was riding a horse, looked at the silent government office in front of him with lightning-like eyes, his gray beard and hair fluttering in the wind.
"My lord, this is the only place left!"
The soldier who was responsible for delivering the message stepped forward and saluted, then presented a stack of things found from the officials' homes to Empress Wu Ningyuan.
Wu Ningyuan had a dark face, looking at the thick stack of banknotes in his hand by the light of the torch, his lips were trembling with anger.
Among them, there were those who were corrupt and those who were prostitutes. There were those who snatched women from the people and those who seized the territory of the common people. What was even more difficult for Wu Ningyuan to accept was that among them, Duan Peng's marching route map was discovered.
