The Xiaoyao Sect's actions completely aroused Lu Hanjiang's interest. He went to Commander Meng Yuan to express his thoughts face to face.
Meng Yuan looked at the junior he had grown up with with complex eyes, and asked, "Do you think there is someone else behind Shuo Xuan?"
"Yes."
"What's the reason?"
"No reason."
Lu Hanjiang repeated it again in a serious tone: "There is no reason, it's all just guessing based on feelings."
Seeing Lu Hanjiang's appearance, Meng Yuan said with a straight face: "Nonsense."
Lu Hanjiang was laughing. After Meng Yuan scolded him, he asked calmly: "Since you think there is someone behind him, what are you going to do?"
"Do nothing," Lu Hanjiang spread his hands and said calmly: "Pretend not to know and let it go. When they finish this drama, we just need to quietly watch the end. Whoever is the final winner will be The man behind the scenes.”
With a chuckle, Meng Yuan's gaze swept across Lu Hanjiang like a sharp sword, and he said in a determined tone: "You are not just waiting behind you, but you plan to watch the fire from the other side, and you even want to add fuel to the fire at the critical moment, right? .”
vertex
Lu Hanjiang chuckled, but he didn't deny it.
Meng Yuan stared at him and asked, "Boy, aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire?"
"Uncle Meng, you can't encounter this kind of scene all the time. If you miss it, you may never see it again." Lu Hanjiang's tone was full of sincerity. The enthusiasm at this moment was far greater than when he had obtained the Secret of Heaven. much higher.
"It seems you have made up your mind."
Meng Yuan could be regarded as having grown up watching Lu Hanjiang. Naturally, he could tell at a glance that this boy was more energetic. Even if he blocked him, he would still find a way to make this matter proceed according to the original plan. Go down.
"That's fine."
It's better to block than to block. Meng Yuan knew that Lu Hanjiang couldn't be stopped by preaching, so he simply let him have his way for once. Anyway, with him in charge of the capital, he could always prevent the worst situation from happening, but he couldn't completely let him play freely. Perhaps, Master Meng has seen this boy's ability to toss over the years, so he must set some rules for him.
"If you can promise me two things, then I can let you handle this Xiaoyao Sect matter." Meng Yuan finally gave in.
Lu Hanjiang's eyebrows rose with joy and he said with a smile, "Uncle Meng, just ask."
"First, ask your men to stop causing trouble for Qin Yu. Send a team of troops to guard his mansion secretly. No matter what happens, you must ensure his safety."
Lu Hanjiang was stunned by Meng Yuan's first words. He looked at the commander in disbelief and asked, "Uncle Meng, is he really the emperor's grandson?"
"It was still possible before the Jiangnan incident, but now -" Meng Yuan shook his head and sighed: "He must not be the son of the prince, or even a side branch."
"If that's the case, why do you want to keep him?" Lu Hanjiang asked incomprehensively.
"If this farce doesn't affect anything serious, it's naturally meaningless. But if there is an eventuality, this Qin Yu is the most important card. We can't let him break it before we can use it."
Meng Yuan spoke solemnly, and Lu Hanjiang was rare for a serious moment. He responded seriously, and then listened to the command and said: "Secondly, I will tell your uncle that you don't need to worry about your marriage. I have already found a wife for you." The door is the most suitable.”
"...Uncle Meng, when did you choose him?" Lu Hanjiang was a little helpless. This could all be related to marriage. How persistent these two old men were, they wanted him to get married anyway.
"Be prepared for a rainy day. If you stay out of the matter, you will be involved. In this case, I have to give you a safer name, so that there will be no big problems."
Meng Yuan's mind had been made up. Lu Hanjiang would definitely not be able to make the commander change his mind anyway. However, he was itching for this drama in his heart. It would be okay to sacrifice a life-long event. The old man on his left wouldn't find something too outrageous for him. marriage.
But thinking about it, doing it, worrying about it, Lu Hanjiang went back worriedly, while Meng Yuan watched him go back worriedly.
The expressions of the two of them seemed to be carved from the same mold. After Lu Hanjiang left, Meng Yuan walked to the courtyard, stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the crabapple in the courtyard, speechless for a long time.
"Someone is coming."
After a long time, Meng Yuan called the guard outside the door and ordered: "Prepare your horses, I want to enter the palace to face the saint."
"yes."
...
Master Meng here sighed and entered the palace, but Lu Shangshu was angry over there. It was not because he knew that the commander had arranged a marriage for Lu Hanjiang. After all, he was not a god, so he had no ability to predict the future.
What made Lu Shangshu angry was that yesterday it was revealed that Lu Qixin was entangled by Yang Zhiyuan and a group of dandies on her way home. This was only secondary. The important point was that the person who rescued her was Lu Hanjiang.
In front of outsiders, Lu Shangshu was an authentic Confucian scholar. In his eyes, joining the army was considered heretical. Therefore, towards Lu Hanjiang, who was expelled from the clan for disobeying discipline and then joined the Jinyi Guards to shine, Shangshu had a rebellious and hateful attitude. .
In addition, Lu Hanjiang had visited several times, and people speculated that the governor wanted to return home but was rejected by the minister, so outsiders thought that the relationship between the two was very tense.
Therefore, Lu Qixin contacted Lu Hanjiang without authorization, and even called out the title "brother" in a rebellious manner, which really aroused the anger of Lord Shangshu.
However, Mr. Lu was really angry, but it was not the "brother" that Lu Qixin called, but the person who revealed this matter to him, who was actually his fourth son whom he valued.
At this time, Master Lu's children were kneeling on the floor in front of him. He only had three legitimate sons. One was the eldest son, Lu Bowen, who is now an official. The other was the youngest son, Lu Yuanjia, who was now studying at home. The other was the fourth son, Lu Hongwen. , studying in the Imperial College, he often personally gave advice.
But such a son, whom he had high hopes for, did not hesitate to harm his sister. He knew his son better than his father. Lu Hongwen's tact and Lu Shangshu had long known that there were ten thousand ways to cover up this matter, so he chose to stab him. Come on, he can't think of the second possibility besides intentionality.
Even though they were different, they were still half-brothers and sisters, so how could they be so cruel.
The relationship between blood brothers and sisters is actually not as good as that of an "outsider". At this time, Lu Shangshu was secretly thankful that he had the foresight to send Lu Hanjiang to the Jinyi Guards early, so that he was not buried in this mess.
Lu Hongwen, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a little guilty when he saw that Lu Shangshu was still angry. The father knew the son, and the son didn't know the father. If the Lord Shangshu was so angry, he might not even be able to please him.
But when his biological sister came to him and said that she had been bullied by Lu Qixin, he was so angry that he couldn't care about it and told Lu Shangshu what he heard from outside.
Lu Shangshu's wife gave birth to a total of three sons and one daughter. This little girl is the seventh among the sisters. Her name is Lu Xinxin, who is one year younger than Lu Qixin.
"Dad, it was obviously Sixth Sister who made the mistake, why do we have to kneel together?"
Lu Xinxin had been pampered since she was a child, and she refused to kneel down. She immediately got up on the ground, took a small step forward and hugged Lu Shangshu's arm. Just when she was about to act like a baby, she heard a waiter outside the door. .
"Master, Young Master Yang is here and he brought many gifts."
