And Master Zhan Ruoshui, who was missed by the Lu family siblings, was slowly arriving in a car with two or three disciples.
"Master still favors Junior Brother Lu. As soon as he receives his letter, he sets off." Zhou Congguang and Junior Brother Wei Wenqian bit their ears.
The master traveled all the way to this remote corner of the mountains in Liaodong County. What else could he do if he didn't love me?
Wei Wenqian lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, don't you understand? For us, Master, studying abroad is not the only way to go? Junior Brother Lu said that his second sister had lied. If our Master is willing to go to Liaodong County to have a look, She is willing to arrange the wife's return trip." With such sincerity, their wife will be moved.
In Master's words, I haven't been to Liaodong County for many years to see if there are any changes.
Zhan Ruoshui quickly opened the curtain of the carriage, "What are you two talking about? Why don't you quickly find a place to stop the carriage and light a fire to cook? I want to starve your wife to death!" The two of them whispered so loudly, and he was not If you are deaf, how can you not hear?
But look what they said? Traitor!
Is he that kind of person? Well, even if he went to Liaodong County for the second sister's promise to take care of Cheng Yi as mentioned by the disciple, then he was also diligent and thrifty in managing his family. Is that wrong? A bunch of guys who don't know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are!
While eating, Zhou Congguang said while holding a dish, "Master, I have some new ideas recently about the thing I am studying."
Zhan Ruoshui encouraged him, "Have you got a new idea? That's great."
"Master, I want to test whether my new idea is right."
Zhan Ruoshui continued to encourage, "Try, you must try!"
"It's not even close to buying experimental equipment——"
Zhan Ruoshui's expression changed, "I don't have any money, I have to figure it out myself!"
"Master——"
"It's no use calling me daddy." At this moment, Zhan Ruoshui wanted to scream to the sky. Why did he accept a bunch of debt collectors?
No wonder he hasn’t saved any pension money yet! They were all traitors who mistook him!
Zhou Congguang was about to say more, but Wei Wenqian stopped him and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, don't go looking for Master. I guess his pocket is cleaner than his face at the moment."
Zhou Congguang said with a sad face, "What should I do?" He really had a premonition that he would succeed this time!
Wei Wenqian suggested, "Senior brother Zhou, maybe you can follow the path of junior brother Lu. His second sister feels quite rich. Why don't you change your mind and start with the two of them to see if you can get some money by cheating?"
Zhou Congguang's eyes lit up when he heard this...
Houcheng
Prince Gong and his party came to Liaodong County. They were originally ordered by the emperor to resolve the conflict between the Xianbei Royal Court and Liaodong County. But before their group arrived at Houcheng, the entire crisis had been resolved.
To be honest, Prince Gong was at a loss for a moment. But he still decided to visit Houcheng.
Then Lu Desheng entertained them warmly, and did not hide the entire negotiation process from him, so that he could have an explanation for his trip, so that when he went back to face the emperor, he would not have to go on a business trip to talk to the emperor.
The next day, Lu Desheng also asked them kindly if they wanted to rest in Liaodong County for a few days before returning to Chang'an?
He also said that during the break, they could walk around and learn more about local folk customs.
Of course Prince Gong agreed without saying a word. He was getting older. The journey from Chang'an to Liaodong County was more than three thousand miles. They were really on the road and almost broke his old bones.
A few days of rest would be just what he wanted. As for whether you want to take a walk? talk later.
Lu Desheng only stayed with them for half a day. Later, he apologized to Prince Gong and said that he had just come to Houcheng and had a lot of official matters waiting for him to deal with, so he could not accompany him around in person. But he has already arranged the rest of the trip, so he and his entourage can have fun in peace.
Through Guo Chunsheng, Lu Desheng arranged for a well-spoken local to lead them around, visit special attractions and taste local delicacies.
There was still plenty of time, and with the persuasion of his entourage, Prince Gong simply had fun for a few days.
If we say, the original and unique scenery in Liaodong County makes this group of people feel a little bit special.
So, when Lu Desheng arranged for people to take them to Anshi, Fangxian County on the coast, they saw the magnificent sea, which particularly shocked them officials who had been living in the interior of Chang'an.
But they didn't play for a few days when they heard that someone else was coming from Chang'an.
The following group of people were ordered by the emperor to reward the members of the Houcheng negotiation team headed by Lu Desheng.
Prince Gong felt that this was expected. Lu Desheng and others had made meritorious service, and it was normal for the emperor to reward them.
Then he found out that the person who came to announce the decree was still an old acquaintance, Zhou Chengzhong.
Within two days, this old acquaintance and his group were also sent to him by Lu Desheng.
In Lu Desheng's words, they are both old acquaintances in the court. If they play together, they will have more common topics.
Zhou Chengzhong seriously suspected that Lu Desheng was driving him and Prince Gong like sheep. As the saying goes, if one sheep is driven, two sheep are also driven.
However, just a few days after they met, news came out that Lu Desheng was planning to locate the county governor's residence in Houcheng.
After hearing this, Prince Gong was stunned at first, then jumped to his feet, "Did he get the emperor's consent? He dared to say that the Liaodong County Governor's residence will be in Houcheng? Isn't he afraid that the emperor will punish him for treason?!"
Zhou Chengzhong: As expected of you, Lu Desheng, you are never a peaceful leader, whether in government or in opposition.
Looking at the jumping Prince Gong again, he knew in his heart that this was really a good man as always.
As soon as the news came out, Prince Gong was no longer in the mood for fun. He wanted to go back to Houcheng and ask Lu Desheng if he knew what he was doing.
Prince Gong pointed at Lu Desheng, "Can't you just stay on your own terms?" He didn't even know what to say to him.
Lu Desheng thought to himself, should I, Lu Desheng, be the one who keeps to myself?
But he said on his face, "Prince Gong, you really can't blame me for this! You don't even know that after I was promoted to the county governor, the people in Houcheng were worried about me leaving Houcheng, and they became so hesitant."
Prince Gong knew from the entourage who stayed behind that what he said was true. From the day the decree was announced, ordinary people passed by the county government office every day to pay attention to the activities of the county government office and whether Lu Desheng was about to move away.
"Then you can't kill first and then show off."
"In urgent matters, follow authority. I think the emperor loves his people so much that he will definitely understand."
Zhou Chengzhong: If you don’t understand, why don’t you love the people like your own children? Lu Desheng, you are digging holes in your words. You really have not changed your nature.
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore. I just want to say one thing, if you continue to act so willfully, I'm afraid you won't end up well in the end."
Lu Desheng gave up and said, "We'll talk about the future later." He sneered in his heart. He kept to himself. If he didn't make any mistakes, could he end up well?
Take the negotiation with the Xianbei Royal Court as an example. If he and his daughter didn't bother, now they might become the souls of some Xianbei warriors.
Lu Desheng changed the subject, "Prince Gong, Mr. Zhou, officials from the Liaodong County Sheriff's Office and the eighteen county magistrates are all here. How about we meet and have dinner together later?" He kept them for so long, and it finally came in handy.
He didn't mind using Prince Gong and Zhou Chengzhong once, so that his subordinates would know that although he was released, his relationship with the DPRK and China was tough. At the same time, he was also very impressive in front of the new emperor. His main characteristic was that he was a fox and a tiger.
