Chapter 46
Emperor Tang nodded and said gently: "You can do something about the county magistrate of the guards in secret."
"Slave obeys the order." The middle-aged man who stood up responded, then smiled and said, "It is his fate that Captain Lu can receive the gift of His Majesty."
"If a county magistrate wants to be a migrant official, I don't need to let him down." Emperor Tang said gently.
"Your Majesty has a good impression of Captain Lu?" asked the middle-aged man standing in a harmonious voice.
"I can't say it's good. He is very humble, but I feel bloody. But he is a general, and killing is inevitable. As the emperor, I have to use such a person appropriately if I hate him." Emperor Tang responded in a harmonious voice.
The middle-aged man standing there nodded and heard the Tang Emperor whisper softly: "It's just a pity that Li Xuexin is entrusted to him. I pity her because I want her to be a civilized man."
"What Li Xue's heart is entrusted with is not human, but he cannot blame His Majesty. It is because Li's official is too stubborn. He believes in the Taoist self. He dares to blatantly establish Taoism and preach learning in the Ministry of Rites. Although Taoism advocates inaction, it is not as good as Buddhism in terms of educating the people to be good." The middle-aged man said in harmony.
Emperor Tang raised his hand and said in a harmonious voice: "Go and invite Han Xiang over."
The middle-aged man who stood up responded and turned around and went out to instruct others to do things.

After leaving Nengren Temple, Lu Qi finally let out a long time ago. He finally passed the level of peace. He thought about what he said when he saw Emperor Tang, and realized that it was okay. In his words, he betrayed the secret of Xinghua Army, but that was a last resort. Since Emperor Tang asked, he must have known the truth. He asked him just to prove it.
This time, when he saw Emperor Tang's ending, he deliberately asked to serve as the county magistrate of the Guardian Army, hoping that Emperor Tang felt that he had given him a gift, so that he could give Emperor Tang a deep impression. As for why he did that, he couldn't explain it clearly, it might be an instinctive cunning.
After passing the check-up, Lu Qi was in a good mood. It was noon again. After walking for a while, he casually turned into a hotel in Fangjie. The hotel was not too big, but it was very clean. There were eight four-person tables neatly arranged on one floor. Three of them had diners. Lu Qi found an empty table and sat down. A waiter immediately came over.
"Master, what do you want to eat?" Xiao Er asked humbly.
"Come on a pot of good wine, cut the meat and stir-fry two common dishes." Lu Qi asked for food casually, and the waiter agreed.
After a while, the wine and food were all together. Lu Qi took the chopsticks and poured the wine and started eating alone. After eating for a while, a man in robe walked in. The man was in his thirties, medium-sized, with a national face, and a very ordinary civilian.
Lu Qi took a casual look at him, but after he looked at him, his face changed suddenly, from casual look to staring. The man naturally called the waiter to ask for food, as if he was a regular visitor in the hotel.
Lu Qi stared at him for a while and looked angry. He stood up and walked to the man's table, and said coldly: "Uncle Guiwu."
The man with a national face had just sat down, and was startled by Lu Qi's call and suddenly stood up. He looked up at Lu Qi in shock. When he saw Lu Qi with a cold face, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were confused and surprised.
"Master, who are you?" asked the man with a national face inquiry.
"My name is Lu Tianfeng. Did you forget Uncle Guiwu?" Lu Qi said coldly.
"You? Lu Tianfeng? You, you are the young master." The man with a national face said in surprise, looking at Lu Qi with a pair of eyes in surprise.
"Young Master is not worthy of being the word "Young Master". Uncle Guiwu has been away for many years, has he lived a very happy life?" Lu Qi said coldly, his tone and eyes showed a sense of hatred.
The man with a national face was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Young Master, you said this to be a misunderstanding of the slave. The slave did not return to Shi Dao back then, so he was ordered by his wife, and he was not the escaped slave of the abandoned master."
Lu Qi was stunned and said in surprise: "What did you say? My mother didn't let you go back."
The man with a national face nodded bitterly and said, "Yes, the life of the slave was saved by the master. He also followed the master in the army for five years. The abandoned master who could be ungrateful."
Lu Qi was stunned when he heard this. Uncle Guiwu was his father's groom. He suddenly left the Lu family and disappeared. It was his mother who said that Uncle Guiwu took money to do business, but he left the Lu family forever. Therefore, he was so angry when he ran into him today.
"Why didn't my mother let you go back?" Lu Qi asked in surprise, and he knew vaguely what he was doing.
Uncle Guiwu shook his head with a wry smile and said in a harmonious voice: "For what, it's hard to say."
"Is it because of my engagement with the Lin family?" Lu Qi stared at Uncle Guiwu and pointed out the suspicion directly.
Uncle Guiwu was stunned and said in surprise: "The young master already knows the marriage with Miss Lin."
"I understand, is Uncle Guiwu not coming to the Lu family because of this?" Lu Qi asked in a low tone.
Uncle Guiwu nodded and said in harmony: "Yes, when the master ordered the slave to go to Beijing to find the Lin family. The slave found the lady of the Lin family sold to Wanhua Building. When he returned to Shitai, he told his wife first. The wife thought about it again and again, so he ordered the slave to leave the Lu family and never return."
When Lu Qi heard this, his heart was heavy and frowned and speechless. After standing for a while, he reached out and pulled Uncle Guiwu to his seat, summoned the waiter to put a set of bowls and chopsticks, and poured wine for Uncle Guiwu himself. Uncle Guiwu was moved and polite.
After the two clinked glasses and drank, Uncle Guiwu said in harmony: "Young master, how are you good at the master and wife?"
Lu Qi said sadly: "My father has passed away for many years, and my mother is fine."
Uncle Guiwu did not react unexpectedly, but said sadly: "The general is bound to die in front of the formation. I know that the master is injured and his life is not long. It's a pity that the master died of depression. I'm really ashamed of the master."
Lu Qi nodded sadly. He knew that Uncle Guiwu was actually his confidant guard around his father, and he was also a person who had passed through the war. He was very open to human life and death. Instead of crying hypocritically, he showed more sincerity.
"Uncle Guiwu, how have you been in these years?" Lu Qi changed the topic.
"My servants are alive. When they left Shiba, their wife gave them thirty taels of silver. When they arrived in the capital, they wanted to rescue Miss Lin with all their hearts. Unfortunately, Miss Lin was as beautiful as a god. She was not a slave who could be redeemed at all. She had worked in Beijing for so many years. She barely bought a house and married a woman in the south of the city. She could only be hungry and unable to freeze herself." Uncle Guiwu sighed.
Lu Qi nodded silently, Uncle Guiwu took a sip of wine and put down his glass, and said in harmony: "Young master, I think the wife is doing the right thing about Miss Lin. The Lu family was not rich back then. If Miss Lin was redeemed, it would not be enough to lose everything."
Lu Qi was silent. He could not say that his mother was cruel. In the face of the reality of survival, what his mother had to consider was the survival of the Lu family. His father was a man who was Chongyi and Shunnu. He would definitely save Lin Xiaodie after knowing Lin Xiaodie's situation. Therefore, his mother ordered Guiwu Uncle to leave the Lu family because Guiwu Uncle was his father's loyal companion and subordinate, so he would not deceive his father.
Uncle Guiwu said again: "Young Master, the master committed a death penalty in the army that time. Lord Lin tried his best to protect him. Therefore, Lord Lin is the master's savior. If the servant told the master Miss Lin's situation, the master would definitely ask for loans to save people everywhere, and even cruelly sell his concubine and daughter, then the Lu family would be destroyed."
"What did you say? Lord Lin saved my father." Lu Qimeng asked anxiously in surprise.
"Mr. Lin saved the master in the army, so the master has always felt guilty in order to be unable to save the Lin family. From the day he moved to Shitai, he sent me to the capital to inquire about the Lin family." Uncle Guiwu said with emotion.
Lu Qi was stunned when he heard this. This message surprised him so much. The Lin family actually had great kindness to the Lu family.
After a while, Uncle Guiwu heard the harmonious voice in his ears: "Young Master, Miss Lin is no longer in Wanhualou. She suddenly got a terminal illness a few years ago and was not sure where to die. The servant had also found it."
"Thank you, Uncle Guiwu, I found Miss Lin." Lu Qi came back to his senses and said in a hurry.
"Is that so? Has Miss Lin's illness cured?" Uncle Guiwu asked in surprise.
"It's not good, but I decided to marry her as my wife." Lu Qi said calmly.
Uncle Guiwu looked at Lu Qi strangely and sighed softly: "The young master is really the same as the master."
