"Zhongti, that's the situation."
"Your Majesty asked me to find Lu Ruoling and Uncle Jiao, but how do I know where he is? How do I go to the door? How do I make him trust me?"
Ji Kang's face was full of helplessness.
In the past, Ji Kang always felt that he was quite talented, but when he actually started doing things, Ji Kang realized that he was really not suitable for these things.
The emperor had secretly given the letter to himself, but Ji Kang had no idea how to deliver it to Uncle Jiao. He didn't even know where the man lived, and he didn't know who to ask about him.
He looked at Lu An in front of him and continued: "Your Majesty said that Zhong Ti can be trusted."
"Let me ask for your opinion before I do anything."
"Do you have anything to teach me?"
Lu An looked at Ji Kang in front of him, "I admire your courage in accepting orders in times of danger, and I also admire your loyalty to His Majesty. It's just that, according to what you said, your Majesty's letters have not been sent out during the past two days. ??”
"Have you ever thought that if this was an urgent letter, it would be useless to send it now."
Ji Kang was shocked and said, "I am also thinking about how to deliver it to my door at home. I rarely communicate with people. I only hang out with you and have wine. How can I find this Uncle Jiao?"
Lu An shook his head and looked into Ji Kang's eyes, "If you can trust me, I can do this on your behalf."
"Your Majesty said that you are trustworthy, so of course I believe it. However, Your Majesty said that you are the only one in the Lu family who can be trusted."
Lu An was not surprised. He said seriously: "Your Majesty has never seen my brother. It is normal not to believe in him. Don't worry, I will not let others know about this matter. I will go and send it to him personally." .”
Ji Kang did not say Cao Mao's original words.
It is indeed difficult to tell Lu An this. Do you want to tell him yourself that your brother is a person sent by Sima Division?
Then Lu An couldn't break off the relationship with him on the spot.
Ji Kang didn't say much. He carefully took out the rolled note from the inner room and handed it to Lu An in front of him.
After taking the light paper, Lu An felt that his whole body became heavy. He hid the letter on his body, and then looked at Ji Kang in front of him, "His Majesty just asked you to send the letter to Lu Ruoling and Uncle Jiao? What's more? Any other instructions? Please don’t leave them out!”
"There are no other instructions, just leave me in Uncle Jiao's hands."
"Ask me not to say too much to him, just say it was sent by His Majesty, and then turn around and leave."
Lu An kept all this in mind, then said goodbye to Ji Kang and left here.
Lu An is very similar to Ji Kang. Both of them are proud of their talents and despise etiquette. The difference is that Lu An does not seek the way of immortals. He has the ambition to govern the world, but he looks down on those who rely on the Sima family.
For example, Ji Kang's elder brother Ji Xi was very talented, but because he liked to be an official and was close to the Sima family, Lu An looked down on him very much.
Lu An once went all the way to find Ji Kang for a drink, but Ji Kang was not at home. Ji Xi came out to open the door, but Lu An did not go in, but left a word "phoenix" on the door. Ji Xi thought that the other person was flattering him, but later he realized that he wrote "Fanniao".
Even Ruan Ji didn't think highly of his friend's brother. He always gave him a blank stare and Ji Kang a green thumb.
Lu An's advantage over Ji Kang is that he won't be too bright when traveling with him. They are both celebrities, and there are differences between them. Ji Kang is so famous that even Zhong Hui is his "fan", no matter where he goes are easily recognized.
If we directly send someone to inquire about Uncle Jiao and then go to find him, I am afraid that the whole of Luoyang will know about it the next day.
Lu An was different. Although he was friends with Ji Kang and others, not many people knew him because his classic ability was not strong and his backstage was not as big as Ji Kang's.
After the death of his father, the lives of the two brothers of the Lu family were very difficult. Lu Xun once served as Sima Zhao's chief historian, but was dismissed by Sima Zhao because of poor performance.
Their father didn't leave them any titles or connections. They could only say that they had enough food and clothing, but no chance of advancement.
Lu An knew some of the sufferings of the world better than Ji Kang, although not much, but a little.
He knew that Lu Ruoling was an official in the Shaofu, so he visited a friend who was working in the Shaofu and inquired about the vacancies in order to find a reason for the errand. He also asked about the identities of the various subordinate officials in the Shaofu.
Naturally, I found out about Uncle Jiao.
Then, on the pretext of visiting as a gift, he asked about the residences of several officials, including Jiao Bo.
The friend said helplessly that there were no official vacancies in the temple now, so maybe he could go to a local job. Lu An thanked his friend and went directly to Jiao Bo's mansion.
He did not rush in, but walked around the mansion a few times to make sure it was safe.
"Bang, bang, bang."
A sudden knock on the door frightened Uncle Jiao's servants.
The old housekeeper hurriedly opened the door and saluted respectfully.
Lu An asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Jiao in the house?"
"Here, distinguished guest, how should I report this?"
The servant looked directly at Lu An's hand. This was not asking him for money, but asking for his famous assassin.
This thing is equivalent to the business card of later generations. It is something that ministers and celebrities will use when visiting each other. However, in the era of broken etiquette and music, this thing has no effect. Everyone just rushes in after taking the powder. , being able to get in with clothes on is enough to give you face, what more fame do you need? ?
Sure enough, this distinguished guest looked sanctimonious, but still had no intention of seeking revenge. He said, "Please inform him that an honored guest is coming."
The servant sighed. If it were forty years ago, he would have locked this man out.
Why are people so rude nowadays?
He asked Lu An to wait for a moment, then turned and entered the house.
Just a moment later, Uncle Jiao walked out in person. When he saw Lu An outside the door, he frowned, a little suspicious.
Lu An saluted him, "But Mr. Jiao?"
Jiao Bo invited him in to talk. The two looked at each other. Lu An followed him into the inner room, sat down, and then said: "I'm Lu An, your friend has entrusted me to bring you the letter."
As he spoke, he took out the note and handed it to Uncle Jiao in front of him.
After handing it over, he stood up immediately, pretending to be angry and shouted: "Since you don't have any errands suitable for me, I won't bother you!!"
Immediately, he walked away.
Only a confused Uncle Jiao was left.
After Lu An left, a dark figure flashed out from the side. That person was Liu Lu.
"Who is this person? Do you want me to follow him and take a look?"
"No need"
Uncle Jiao stopped him, and then rolled up the note in his hand, which was full of words.
"Jiao Jun, I dare not forget my love for you day and night. I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you still okay? This time I asked someone to send a letter to you. There are a few things I need your help with."
With this first sentence, Cao Mao proved his identity. The matter of finding jade was something that only the monarch and his ministers knew at the time. No one else knew about it. Cao Mao did not say much and went straight to the topic.
"It's a letter from His Majesty!"
Jiao Bo said, Liu Lu was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to grab it to read, but he remembered that he couldn't read, so he put down his hand, "What did your Majesty say?! Read it to me quickly! Is your Majesty okay now?" Have you ever been wronged?"
Uncle Jiao continued to look down.
"The first thing to do is to record the following words and send them to General Guanqiu Jian."
"General Deng Ai, the governor of Yanzhou, defended Lejia and could not advance, blocking the general's advance. General Zhuge Dan of Zhennan attacked eastward from Anfeng County, threatening Shouchun and destroying your grain routes. General Hu Zun of the East Conquest The troops of Du Qing and Xu came out of Qiao and Song Dynasty to outflank your return route. Wang Ji, the governor of Jingzhou, led the Jingzhou army to march eastward. General Wang Chang, who conquered the south, will serve as reinforcements and be in charge of logistics."
"General, please don't rush to raise troops. Sima Division will definitely order the general to go to the temple. The general can say that Wu is coming to attack, or pretend to be sick. Don't refuse directly. Try to delay as much time as possible. Sima Division is about to die soon!!"
"If you are forced to raise troops, don't rush in."
"In addition, I have treasures that can help the general. I will change the straight and long shafts of the plow into curved and short shafts, and put them at the head of the shaft."
Uncle Jiao hurriedly finished reading this, and then looked at the second thing.
"The second thing is Liu Lu. After Guanqiudian was arrested, Master Sima never mentioned anything about Liu Lu. It seems that he has never been arrested. Please be sure to look for him. He is very loyal to me and is brave. , things like sending letters can be left to him."
Uncle Jiao laughed and glanced at Liu Lu, "Your Majesty asked me to find you!"
"I also praised you for your ability to do things and said that I could let you deliver a letter to Huainan!"
Liu Lu was overjoyed and patted his chest proudly, "That's natural. I have never let him down in the things His Majesty told him!"
Uncle Jiao looked at it again.
"The third thing is to ask you to help contact Li Zhao, Yin Damu and others. If possible, I hope to contact Guo Ji. Since I can't meet them directly, please contact them privately for the time being and wait for my edict. Ling, Ji Kang is a trustworthy person, if anything happens, you can contact me through him."
"Please secretly accumulate strength, do not act rashly, and wait with peace of mind. If things change, I will definitely issue an edict to calm the world and help the country!"
Uncle Jiao slowly put away the letter and looked at Liu Lu aside.
"Jiao Jun, what did your Majesty say? Is he doing well?"
Facing Liu Lu's gaze, Uncle Jiao pursed his lips and said seriously: "Your Majesty said that he is very good now. The Sima family does not dare to bully him anymore. He can send someone to contact us."
"Haha, it's the best, it's the best. Your Majesty is alone, and I'm afraid he will be bullied. Now I feel at ease!"
Liu Lu said happily.
"Liu Jun, I will contact the people in the city. General Guanqiu in Huainan, I can only do it for you."
"only!!"
Liu Lu couldn't wait to say: "Without further delay, I'll set off now!"
"Don't be anxious. You need to rest today. I still have to copy these things. After copying, you can just leave tomorrow morning."
"No! This is something entrusted by His Majesty. How can we delay it? You can copy it now!"
“I’ll leave as soon as I’ve finished writing!!!”
Uncle Jiao was stunned and slowly saluted Liu Lu.
"only!"
