Chapter 101 The unexpected enemy
The supper was made by holly, and the girls were very happy about Lu Qi's return. After the meal, Lu Qi and Xin Yun'er discussed the construction of the papermaking workshop in the courtyard. Xin Yun'er asked with concern whether the escort was going smoothly. Of course, Lu Qi had four words of smooth sailing.
At night, Xin Yun'er asked Yun Shang and Chen Xue'er to serve in Lu Qi's room, but Lu Qi politely refused. In fact, he didn't want to force Chen Xue'er, so he only asked Dongqing to serve him. He sat on the bed in the room all night.
Three days passed. After Deacon Zhao and the soldiers returned safely, they met with Lu Qi and went to the county government to do their jobs. Wang Zhuan was very satisfied with Lu Qi's successful escort and specially invited a banquet at the restaurant to comfort him.
Just when everything was going well, someone from the Lu family's old house suddenly sent a letter. Lu Qi returned home at dusk and read the letter, which read: "Do you want to know who wants to kill you? The sun is at noon tomorrow, and see you outside the West School."
This letter of no end made Lu Qi confused. Early the next morning, he left the city to go to the training academy. When it was noon, he left the training academy alone and wandered around outside. He really found the person who sent the letter. What surprised him was that the man was actually the "Shan Dawang" who had dealt with Chizhou.
"Master Lu, I'm called Tong Guang, are you surprised when I see me?" When I met, "King Shan" said with a straightforward smile. He held a horse in one hand, wore a hat, and was dressed in a civilian outfit.
"It's a very surprising. Lord Tong sent me a letter. Is there any intention?" Lu Qi said in a harmonious mood in surprise.
Tong Guang said seriously: "Of course it's an intention. I'm here to repay my kindness, and to make friends with you."
Lu Qi looked at Tong Guang in surprise and said in harmony: "Mr. Tong, are there any kindness between us?"
"Of course I am kind. Lord Lu took half of the gold, but deliberately gave his other half to Tong Guang. After Tong Guang was selfish, Lord Lu did not point out the matter in front of Tong Guang's Shangguan. This was to save Tong Guang. Tong Guang should repay his kindness." Tong Guang explained seriously.
Lu Qi said lightly and said in harmony: "That's just a small matter, and it's no good to point it out."
Tong Guang said seriously: "It is a small matter to Lord Lu, but it is a major matter to destroy the future for Tong Guang. Tong Guang has always been a clear person of grudges. If this kindness is not repaid, he will feel uneasy. Therefore, he came to Shida County to repay his kindness and wanted to tell who it was and to kill Lord Lu."
Lu Qi was stunned and said in a harmonious voice: "I thank Lord Tong first. I wonder who is the one who wants to kill me?"
Tong Guang said seriously: "It is Zhao County Magistrate of Shida County."
"What? It's County Magistrate Zhao." Lu Qi was stunned and lost his voice. Tong Guang's words surprised him. How could County Magistrate Zhao want to kill him? It's too illogical.
"Don't be surprised by Lord Lu. It's indeed County Magistrate Zhao who gave three ingots of gold to kill you." Tong Guang said affirmatively again.
However, Lu Qi was shocked and disbelief. County Magistrate Zhao and Zhuzhu Wang were dependent on each other and had never violated the interests of County Magistrate Zhao. County Magistrate Zhao had no reason to pay a lot of money to hire someone to kill him. Could it be that County Magistrate Zhao acted in the name of County Magistrate Zhao?
Tong Guang heard Tong Guang say again: "Mr. Lu, you need not doubt this matter. It was my relative who sent me a clan to the army. Yesterday I met that relative. The relative told me clearly that it was the commander of Zhao County. As for why Zhao County wanted to kill you, my relatives don't know what the specific reason is. Lord Lu thinks about it carefully and I will repay my kindness, just reminding Lord Lu to be more careful. My relatives said that Zhao County is a wolf that eats people and does not spit bones."
Lu Qi nodded, it was better to believe that this matter was done. He said in harmony: "Thank you, Lord Tong, I will be careful."
Tong Guang said in a harmonious voice: "Yeah, I'm back. Tong Guang also wants to make a word about etymology with Lord Lu. Tong Guang admires Lord Lu's style of conduct and hopes that in the future, we can become a partnership of mutual assistance."
Lu Qi said in harmony: "Yes, Lu Tianfeng is willing to become friends with Tong Guang."
Tong Guang smiled and said in harmony: "If you are destined to be but not destined to be far away, you and I are both military generals. If you are destined to be destined to be, you must support each other. Tong Guang said goodbye." After saying that, he flew on his horse.
Lu Qi was moved when he heard this, and said seriously: "You and I are intimate today, and Lu Tianfeng is obliged to do so in the future."
Tong Guang nodded and said sincerely: "Tong Guang is the same."
After pausing, he said, "Tianfeng, Tong Guang's uncle is named Tong He. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask him secretly and ask me."
Lu Qi said gratefully: "I will ask for inquiries when I have something to do, and I promise that I will not affect my relatives."
Tong Guang nodded with relief and said seriously: "Tianfeng, the target of Zhao County Magistrate's killing this time is you, and he also asked to kill Deacon Zhao and two generals under your jurisdiction. Because he could not kill you, the Duwei terminated the killing order. Be careful in the future and let the two generals be careful. I should not stay here for a long time, so I will know it later." After saying that, he politely whispered to Lu Qiyi, and the steed cavalry that trembled the horse and left.
Lu Qi was stunned when he heard this, turned around and looked at the direction where Tong Guang left for a long time. After a brief contact, he felt that Tong Guang was a straightforward man. It should be his luck to be able to make such honest friends.
If you are destined to be but not destined to be far away, this sentence silently echoed in his heart. This sentence gave him a sense of enlightenment. In this world, if a person wants to achieve something, he should take the initiative to seize or create opportunities.
He suddenly remembered the slave of the Xiao Mansion. The slave's words had given him enlightenment, breaking the arrogance and shame of men in his heart that they were not doing anything, and taught him to weave marriage and party relations with peace of mind to seize opportunities. He had implemented this and was able to join the power of the King of the King.
Now he knows that in addition to the marriage party, it is a shortcut to reach the heights, and making friends at any time and anywhere is also a cornerstone of climbing the heights. Tong Guang quietly came to make friends with him. Perhaps the two met on the future journey of life. At that time, their mutual help would become powerful, and they would be able to prosper with each other. He was unintentionally planting willows, but Tong Guang was deliberately planting trees to form forests. This is a life principle worth learning from.
At noon, he returned to Wangjiang Castle, but unexpectedly met Aunt Xin. He had not seen Aunt Xin for many days. When he met, he found that Aunt Xin was obviously haggard, his eyes were slightly red, and his delicate face was not as bright as he first met.
After Lu Qi smiled and sat on the yard chair, Aunt Xin looked at him and said with a soft smile: "Have you been busy these days?"
"It's not too busy, it's all routine." Lu Qi said in harmony. Now he has a natural mentality when facing Aunt Xin. He has a kind of affectionate feeling and respect for Aunt Xin.
Aunt Xin glanced at the main house and said softly: "Tianfeng, don't you like Yun Shang?"
Lu Qi was stunned and said in surprise: "No."
"Then why don't you let Yun Shang enter the room to serve you?" Aunt Xin asked softly.
When Lu Qiyi heard this, he smiled calmly and said, "Aunt, I am a person who has a lot of things to do. Sometimes I also need to think about it. I haven't asked Yun Shang to serve these days, but the first day I saw her was very talkative. In addition, I can't get started with a woman, and I can't just serve the bed, but I can share my worries with me."
Aunt Xin said softly: "Tianfeng, although Yun Shang and I are master maids, we are like sisters. If I ask this, don't be too careful."
Lu Qi smiled and said, "Auntie is not an outsider either. It is normal for me to ask about my family affairs, and I will not be too careful."
Aunt Xin nodded happily. After Lu Qi finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the advice of Aunt Xin to him last time. He seemed to know a lot about the official affairs in Shida County and had a good understanding of him. He trusted Aunt Xin very much and immediately told Aunt Xin about everything that happened recently. He wanted to hear Aunt Xin's opinion.
Aunt Xin changed her face when she heard it, and then thought for a while, then said softly: "Tianfeng, are you sure that Tong Guang has no malicious intentions?"
Lu Qi nodded and said, "Based on my feelings and experience in identifying people, Tong Guang will not be malicious. Moreover, Tong Guang told me that County Magistrate Zhao not only wanted to kill me, but also asked to kill Deacon Zhao. Deacon Zhao's daughter was Zhao's concubine. She might have been demoted to a family prostitute by County Magistrate Zhao because of her fall out of favor. Deacon Zhao deeply hated County Magistrate Zhao for this and asked me to have the opportunity to leave his daughter from County Magistrate Zhao."
Aunt Xin nodded and thought for a while and said softly: "Tianfeng, if County Magistrate Zhao wants to kill you, then you will be in a very dangerous situation in Shida County in the future. County Magistrate Zhao has been working in Shida County for 30 years and can be called deep-rooted. This man is very greedy and lustful, and has a good face and a vicious heart. His biggest evil deed is to force the buyer of a private girl, and then transfer it to a Beijing official to be a prostitute, or sell it to a brothel in the capital."
