The day after seeing the Zhe family, Lu Qi arrived at Qingfengju again as promised. He thought he could see the important officials of the Zhou State and explore some decision-making trends of the Zhou State. He did not want to wait for noon and did not see Zhao Pu.

The next day, Lu Qi arrived at Qingfengju again and waited, but he still didn't see Zhao Pu people coming, and no one came to tell me what was going on. However, the shopkeeper Yang Hong was very depressed and uneasy. Lu Qi comforted him a few words and left calmly.

Two days later, the shopkeeper Yang Hong hurried to the Wu Palace and said that Zhao Pu sent someone to sue, saying that the government was busy and forgot to meet Qingfengju, and asked him to go to the mansion to meet at night. Lu Qi said nothing, and he had no time.

Yang Hong was shocked when he heard this. There were many people in Kaifeng Mansion who wanted to curry favor with Lord Zhao Pu. It was the first time I saw Lu Qi so fierce, but the boss said he was not free, so he couldn't force the boss to see him.

Three more days passed in a flash, and Lu Qi kept hiding in the Wu Palace and not leaving. After the prince passed the birthday ceremony, he was in a good mood, but he liked going out. Lu Qi did not go, and he did not force him, and went out with Meng Shi and a few guards.

Lu Qi has been thinking about returning to Jin and reunite with his relatives, and personally planning a strategy to enter Tubashu. Although entering Tubashu is a fact that he destroys the Great Wall, if he does not occupy Bashu, Jingzhou's defense will always be in a passive state.

Xiaodie also agreed that Lu Qi would go back to Jin State. As King of Jin, it was indeed not right to take risks in the enemy country. After the two reached an agreement, they decided to leave Kaifeng Prefecture in more than ten days.

He decided to leave. Suddenly, Lin Zhihe, who had been away for a long time, came to the Wu Palace and brought a person who surprised Lu Qi, his father's comrade-in-arms Yun Jindong.

Yun Jindong is a burly middle-aged man with sword-browed eyebrows and tiger-like eyes. However, Lu Qi's mother mentioned Yun Jindong. Yun Jindong and Li Chuan were close friends of Lu Qi's father. However, when the Tang army was defeated, Lu Qi's father went to Jiangnan first due to serious injuries. Later, Li Chuan moved his family to Jiangnan, but Yun Jindong had no information.

After seeing his father's old friend, Lu Qi respectfully greeted him, and then left the Wu Palace together and spoke in a nearby restaurant.

After Yun Jindong and Lu Qi drank a drink, they looked at Lu Qi with emotion and told the story of the past. Yun Jindong became a prisoner of war and surrendered with Shangguan. He was only a few days after surrendering to Zhou State and was incorporated into the Zhou army. At that time, he belonged to Zhang Yongde's army, and Lin Zhihe's situation was similar to that of Yun Jindong.

Shortly after the Tang Dynasty lost Jiangbei, Zhang Yongde led his army north to fight against Yan State. Because of his bravery in combat, Yun Jindong was soon noticed by Zhang Yongde and brought Yun Jindong into the central army.

Now Yun Jindong is the left army of Tianxiong Army, the cavalry general, commanding two thousand troops, and the Tianxiong Army is composed of six thousand troops, divided into three left and right central armies. The central army is the commander of Duyu Hou, with the Jiedu and Deputy envoy above it. Many of the Jiedu troops of Zhou State are Duyu Hou as the supreme commander, and the Jiedu or Deputy envoy is often led by Beijing officials.

However, Zhang Yongde, the governor of Tianxiong Army, actually held the power of Tianxiong military, and Zhang Yongde was still the one who stayed at Daming Mansion, the governor of Zhangde Army, the chief magistrate of the procuratorate, and the defense envoy of Zhenbei, can be said to be highly valued by the Emperor of Zhou. Zhang Yongde was the brother-in-law of the Emperor of Zhou. He had the status of the prince-in-law and had long presided over the defensive war against Yan State.

Yun Jindong did not come to see Lu Qi on purpose, but was transferred back to Beijing to report his duties. The local military governor of Zhou State did not belong to the army, but was transferred to the post every few years. However, Yun Jindong had been transferred to the post, but had never left the north and had always been a subordinate of Zhang Yongde.

Lu Qi talked to Yun Jindong. Yun Jindong had heard Lin Zhihe talk about Lu Qi's situation. He advised Lu Qi to take the initiative to serve Zhou and help Zhou defeat Tang. Lu Qi expressed his unwillingness to be charged with the crime of retaliating against Tang. Yun Jindong expressed his understanding after hearing this.

Lin Zhihe had already obtained Zhang Yongde's recommendation letter, but Lin Zhihe was a little depressed. He told Lu Qi that he had reported to Zhang Yongde about Lu Qi, hoping that Zhang Yongde could suggest the court to pay attention to it, but Zhang Yongde's reaction was very calm and said that it was not something he should have participated.

After hearing this, Lu Qi understood Lin Zhihe's intention. Lin Zhihe wanted to gain some recognition of credit, but the important officials of Zhou did not pay attention to it, and Lin Zhihe had no choice but to do anything. In fact, when Lin Zhihe returned to Zhou, he could only be an official with a low status. The only person who could rely on was Zhang Yongde.

During his conversation, Lu Qi found that Yun Jindong was obviously a contemptuous attitude towards Tang **li. He expressed that if it weren't for the natural danger of the river, the Zhou Kingdom would have been able to wipe out the countries in the south of the Yangtze River long ago, and he also despised and disdained the rising Jin Kingdom.

Yun Jindong's attitude made Lu Qi realize that the Zhou army had a blind sense of superiority. Perhaps it was the great defeat of Tang State in Jiangbei and the humbleness of his servitude towards Zhou State for many years that made the Zhou State think that Tang ** power was vulnerable.

Lin Zhihe's contemptuous attitude towards Yun Jindong could only smile bitterly. While drinking and speaking, he also believed that the combat power of the Tang ** team was not as good as that of the Zhou army. However, he believed that the reason why the Tang State was weak was caused by the Lord of Tang State. He highly praised Lin Renzhao and said that if Lord Li could reuse Lin Renzhao to command the army, the Tang army would definitely be able to become stronger. When talking about Lin Renzhao, Yun Jindong also recognized Lin Renzhao as a famous general of good combat, but unfortunately he did not assist the hero.

The three of them were drunk and their words gradually lost their taboos. Lin Zhihe complained that Zhang Dashen no longer had the heroic spirit of the past and should not have ignored Lu Qi's surrender. Yun Jindong shook his head when he heard this and told Lin Zhihe that Zhang Dashen now should avoid suspicion. If he had said something about Lu Qi's surrender, wouldn't he be forming a clique and expanding the power?

Lin Zhihe was silent, but he drank a glass of wine. Lu Qi heard the implicit voice and asked, "Uncle, didn't you say that His Majesty the Emperor trusted General Zhang Yongde very much?"

"Trust is trust, but it is inevitable to be suspicious. Mr. Zhang has been in charge of the army for decades and has made more contributions. In the Zhou State, he has been a general under Mr. Zhang, and that is too many. So, His Majesty the Emperor is very worried." Yun Jindong said in a drunken manner.

Lu Qi nodded and said, "Even if His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou is suspicious of the martial officials, he will not be as stupid as the lord of the Tang Kingdom."

After hearing this, Yun Jindong shook his head, raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass. Lu Qi took the pot and poured it on. Yun Jindong smiled and said whispered: "Everyone will grow old, and His Majesty the Emperor can't escape it."

"Oh, Your Majesty the Emperor is only fifty years old, not much older than his uncle." Lu Qi said.

"Well, Your Majesty's birthday is not high, but Your Majesty's health is not very good." Yun Jindong whispered.

Lu Qi's heart moved when he heard this. He was in Kaifeng Prefecture, but he had never heard anyone say that the emperor of Zhou was in poor health. They were all praises of my emperor's wise and diligent work and loving the people. Since he could work diligently, his health was naturally very good.

"Uncle, why is the body of His Majesty the Emperor's Majesty bad?" Lu Qi asked whisperedly, Lin Zhihe frowned and looked at it, but he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty was in the Northern Expedition ten years ago, but he was shot by the Yan thief. Since then, he has had bad hidden diseases." Yun Jindong replied whispered.

Lu Qi nodded and said, "It's normal to get an arrow on the battlefield."

Yun Jindong smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has never left Kaifeng Mansion since that time."

Lu Qi nodded, and Yun Jindong whispered again: "In fact, what Your Majesty is most worried about is the selection of the prince."

"Oh, didn't Zhou State establish a crown prince?" Lu Qi said, knowing that Zhou State had a crown prince.

"It was a crown prince, but Your Majesty was not satisfied and wanted to establish another son, but Marshal Zhang strongly opposed the establishment of another." Yun Jindong whispered.

"What? Isn't the prince good now?" Lu Qi asked.

"The current crown prince is said to be very kind, but His Majesty thinks it is weak and unable to bear the responsibility of the country. To put it bluntly, His Majesty is just worried that the crown prince will not be able to suppress military officials in the future, but General Zhang believes that the crown prince will be deposed and the crown prince will be in trouble, and the crown prince is virtuous and the ministers will be convinced." Yun Jindong whispered.

Lu Qi nodded and said, "Now the border troubles are severe, and a priest should be established as a wise man."

"You said you were a virtuous person, but you were the same as Zhao Kuangyin." Yun Jindong shook his head and said.

"Did Zhao Kuangyin support the establishment of the wise and capable people?" Lu Qi said in surprise.
