The carriage set off slowly, and Pei Zhixuan's voice behind it drowned out the sound of rolling wheels.

The car was very quiet, and Lu Tao endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but say: "Pei Zhixuan is too sleepy!" Miss Lei and General Lu haven't separated yet! ”

"It's not a matter of being too much, but Pei Zhixuan knows that Lu Chuan and Sister Shuo got married just for Qi Guo, and she never gave up." Wen Qingzhu had expected it in his heart, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Back at Lu's house, Wen Qingzhu didn't know that he saw Lu Shu and Danton.

Zuotang, as the prefect of Dingyuan, is naturally here.

"See Princess, Regent."

With Zuotang taking the lead, the others naturally followed suit.

To Wen Qingzhu's surprise, Danton's salute turned out to be the etiquette of Qi State.

"You're welcome, Lord Denton, please be seated." Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

As a guest of the Huns, Danton was naturally the first to come.

As he raised his hand, people came in outside the door with boxes.

After opening, it contained various specialties of the Huns.

After glancing at it, Wen Qingzhu looked at Danton and asked with a smile, "Are these gifts for me, or are they from the Lu family?" ”

"Naturally, it is for the princess and the regent, we have already sent the gifts of the Lu family, but ......" Danton glanced at Lu Shu and said regretfully, "Miss Lu said that she can't pass the princess and the regent and accept the gifts without authorization, so the gifts of the Lu family are still outside." ”

After listening to Denton's words, Lu Shu sneered: "Lord Denton, why is this so, our Lu family is just doing things according to the rules." ”

The smell of gunpowder in these words was already very serious, Wen Qingzhu looked at Zuo Tang curiously, only to see him shaking his head.

After some friendly discussions, Fu Lie personally sent Danton away, while Wen Qingzhu followed Lu Shu back to her room.

After closing the door, Lu Shu knelt down with a pout, Wen Qingzhu went to help, but was forcibly suppressed by Lu Shu: "I'm sorry!" I shouldn't have made an argument to assassinate the emperor! Blame me for being so stupid that I would be deceived by the Huns! ”

"Sister Shu, you stand up first, you are also being used by others in this matter, not to mention that the emperor has nothing to do, and he will not condemn your Lu family!"

After repeated persuasion, Wen Qingzhu finally helped Lu Shu up and sat down and poured her a cup of hot water.

"This matter is not as simple as you think, the reason why the emperor is willing to follow you out of the customs is that he also has his own plans, and he can ensure his own safety."

Lu Shu hesitated a little, she was afraid that Wen Qingzhu was trying to comfort herself, so she asked again: "Then where did the emperor go?" ”

"I went to White Wolf Mountain, we met there, everyone was fine, Lu Ce Zuo Bingning and they were also there." Wen Qingzhu didn't plan to tell Lu Shu about the matter over there in White Wolf Mountain, after all, there were too many secrets inside.

After going through so many things, Lu Shu could naturally see it, so she didn't ask too much.

But when it comes to the reputation of the Lu family, she still can't help it: "Does the emperor really plan to let Shuo'er reconcile?" And my father, the Huns have promised a truce, do you still have to hide the news of his death? ”

Regarding Lu Chengen's matter, Wen Qingzhu didn't dare to make his own decision, this was a three-way game between the imperial court, the Lu family, and the Xiongnu.

In particular, Lu Chengen's death is not only related to the Huns, but also to the emperor.

They may not have known about Wei Ziying before, but now, whether it is Wei Ziying or Lei Xiao, I am afraid that they all know the inside story here.

She held Lu Shu's hand, and felt cold to the touch: "Don't worry, your father's death, we will give him an explanation, the Lu family is full of loyalty, I will never let him die so silently." ”

"What about Xiaochuan and Shuo'er?" Lu Shu was extremely glad in her heart, if she really died in the Huns, and Shuo'er was also sent to the river, then Lu Chuan was afraid that she would not be able to hold on.

Wen Qingzhu pondered for a while before he said slowly: "Sister Shuo is afraid that she will really ask for peace, and in addition, your calculated matter, as well as Pei Zhixuan's intervention, she is now on the side of Lu Chuan's military camp, do you know?" ”

"She still dares to come here!" Lu Shu was instantly angry, slapped the table fiercely and said, "I have heard Lord Zuo explain these things, she Pei Zhixuan is really calculating, she dares to play with Qi Guo!" ”

Except for Pei Zhixuan's ulterior motives, her methods are really clever, completely playing with Qi and the Xiongnu.

At this point, she is three points more powerful than Pei Yu, Wen Qingzhu can only sigh: "Pei Zhixuan has the talent of a general, calm and intelligent, and forbearance and decisiveness, she has successfully made Lu Chuan remember her, and now if Sister Shuo goes to kiss, she will most likely marry Lu Chuan in the future." ”

"I won't agree!" Lu Shu refused without hesitation.

Wen Qingzhu wanted to say something, but she could only shake her head, but she didn't say it.

After all, Lu Shu and Pei Zhixuan are completely different people.

Lu Shu has a direct temperament and cares about fame and righteousness.

And Pei Zhixuan is only to achieve her own goals, which may not be unscrupulous, but it is by no means upright.

What she wants, there is nothing she can't get.

The Qi country, the people, and the family are worthless in her eyes.

The only thing she cares about may be her grandfather Pei Yu.

It is precisely because of this that Wen Qingzhu actually doesn't hate her too much, but she doesn't like it either.

One day later, Zhita personally sent Lei Shuo back.

Wen Qingzhu and Lu Chuan personally greeted them and took them to the Lu family.

Lu Shu didn't want to come forward, but as soon as she heard that Pei Zhixuan was here, she immediately cleaned up and attended as a member of the Lu family.

When he arrived in the lobby, Wen Qingzhu saw that Lei Shuo had no big problems, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, I only came to the tower, and I didn't have any other purpose, but to ask about the trade agreement.

"It seems that the king already has an idea in his heart." Wen Qingzhu saw at a glance what only the tower was thinking.

Only Ta smiled lightly: "Since your Qi country is sincerely seeking peace, then I will not hide it, not to mention Rouran, Xianbei has always coveted Qi country, even more than our Huns, a few days ago Xianbei united with Rouran to assassinate your emperor, I really don't have them so simply." ”

"That means that the king knows that Xianbei has bad intentions, but he thinks he can control it." Wen Qingzhu didn't want to be taken advantage of by the tower.

"If there is no Jiang Yuancheng, I can indeed control it, and there is another point, between you and Jiang Yuancheng, I chose you, but Jiang Yuancheng, Xianbei will suddenly make a move, and it is also because of Jiang Yuancheng's instigation, counting up, the reason why there is today's situation is that you Qi Guo is soft-hearted and did not kill him in advance."

Wen Qingzhu squinted slightly, it seemed that the only tower was very familiar with the enemies of the Qi Kingdom.

In this way, I am afraid that future negotiations will not take much advantage of the Xiongnu.

For the sake of Sister Shuo's happiness, I'm afraid that Ta is sure that he won't have too many requirements.

When he was silent, Fu Lie suddenly spoke: "We don't kill Jiang Yuancheng because he is the emperor's own brother, and there is an idiom in our Qi country called brother and brother Gong, although it is the emperor's family, but you also have to set an example."

We failed to fully control Jiang Yuancheng, and it was indeed our fault. But Jiang Yuancheng did it in the king's military camp, according to reason, the king should get rid of it quickly, but he still escaped.

So it's not so much that our Qi State is not capable, it's better to say that Jiang Yuancheng is not so easy to kill, at this point, Qi State can slowly consume him, but you Huns can't do it. ”

Hearing his words, he raised his lips and smiled: "He is worthy of being the regent!" ”

Wen Qingzhu was finally a little relieved, she cared about Sister Shuo, so she didn't dare to be too ruthless, but Fu Lie didn't care.

Since someone represented the Qi State, Wen Qingzhu of course got up and retired, and at the same time took Lei Shuo to the backyard.

I didn't think that the tower suddenly stood up and grabbed Lei Shuo's other hand: "Lei Shuo can't go!" ”

"Here is the Lu family! She's Mrs. Lu! Lu Chuan, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and walked over to grab Lei Shuo's other hand.

Lei Shuo was caught in the middle, trying to shake off the two of them, but their hands were extremely tight, and she shook them for a long time, but she couldn't shake off a single hand.

This made Lei Shuo very resentful, Wen Qingzhu walked over, looked left and right at Zhita and Lu Chuan, and said, "Sister Shuo is not a bargaining chip for you to fight for, let it go!" ”

No one let go, Wen Qingzhu's face sank instantly, and Fu Lie was about to make a move, when Lu Shu suddenly stood up.

walked over and slapped Lu Chuan's wrist with a palm, and scolded coldly: "What kind of face to lose here now!" I didn't see the regent and the princess there! ”

With his sister here, Lu Chuan let go of his hand unwillingly.

Lu Shu turned his head to look at the tower, and said lukewarmly: "King, you are a distinguished guest of the Qi Kingdom, it is inconvenient for me to do it, Lei Shuo is still a member of our family's Lu family, so please let go, my martial arts are not as good as yours, but there is still Lu Chuan here, and the regent." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, but the tower finally let go.

Wen Qingzhu pulled Lei Shuo over, nodded to Lu Shu, and then left the lobby.

When he arrived at Lei Shuo's room, Wen Qingzhu said apologetically: "I'm sorry for making you suffer." ”

"It's okay, I'm causing you trouble." Lei Shuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The tower didn't kill her that day, and she didn't push the tower open, she expected this day.

Seeing the guilt on Lei Shuo's face, Wen Qingzhu asked her to raise her head and look into her eyes: "Sister Shuo, you are not at fault in this matter at all!" You like only the tower, but you have never done anything to be sorry for Qi Guo, but you have been helping Qi Guo. ”

"My little help is nothing." In his heart, Lei Shuo still thought that he had dragged Wen Qingzhu and them down.

If it weren't for that, the tower wouldn't have been staring at them all the time.

Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "No! You made a great sacrifice! Whether it is marrying the Lu family, containing the tower, or marrying the tower in the future. ”

Hearing her say this, Lei Shuo was very puzzled: "If you can solve the problem by marrying, you can exchange peace at the lowest cost, which is already very good." ”

"But a really powerful Qi country, it is a cowardice not to let the women of the Qi country marry to seek peace! The peace that comes with sacrificing a woman is always short-lived! Have you forgotten what happened to Princess Qingyun in the former dynasty? "Wen Qingzhu is actually very opposed to harmony.

If the Qi State is strong enough, the surrounding small countries will ask for marriage, not harmony.

Of course Lei Shuo knew, his face turned pale: "Only the tower is different from the previous Hun king." ”

"Only the tower can be different, but what about the next Hun king?" Wen Qingzhu immediately asked, "Their Xiongnu are different from our Qi country, whoever is powerful can be the king, the Xiongnu king a hundred years ago and the current tower are not from the same family!" ”

After being silent for a long time, Lei Shuo reluctantly said: "No matter what, at least if I live, the Qi State and the Xiongnu will not fight." ”

Wen Qingzhu sighed: "Sister Shuo, if you don't like the tower, I will fight this battle no matter what, even if it may take a few years, even if it is labor and money and hurt the people, I will fight until the day when the Huns admit defeat." ”

After hearing these words, Lei Shuo's eyes turned red, and he hugged Wen Qingzhu and leaned on Wen Qingzhu's shoulder: "Thank you, I am actually very scared, and I am also worried that the children born in the future will attack the Qi State, but when I think that if I marry in the past, I can die so many soldiers less, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, I feel that it is worth it, and I am not afraid of more hardship." ”
