A few years later, the center of Chengyang County, where the Lu family is located, spread outward like a spider web.During this period of time, refugees, martyrs and some stragglers came to seek refuge.Lu Xiao took them in, and became famous for his ability to get along with ordinary people on an equal footing.

The third uncle and the others also had to admit Lu Xiao's ability. As his prestige in the Lu clan became higher and higher...more and more younger generations chose to follow him.The young people are very aggressive, compared to the well-behaved old people.What Lu Xiao did naturally made them admire and admire him even more...

The peaceful days passed quickly, and with the passage of time, he became more and more famous.But Lu Xiao has never forgotten that there is still a giant dragon entrenched here.As the Lu clan grows stronger, even if there is no direct conflict... small frictions between each other will naturally exist.It's just that the two sides tacitly denied this, but Lu Xiao knew that such days would not be too long.

The various strongholds in the south have already begun to attack each other. Once the integration is completed... the place where Lu Xiao is located will naturally fall into a passive position.Human beings have basically adapted to the hostile environment.The cycle of seasons is gradually normal.Encroachment and plunder are the nature of living things, let alone human beings...

The imperial court paid a lot of money and gave powerful bribes to win over these powerful "lords of a city" in front of them, but this move was too late and had little effect.For example, myself and the King of Xiangyang who is entrenched here...

King Xiangyang has sent people to investigate many times in the past two years. No one can guarantee that there are no other people with ulterior motives in the current Lu family.Ambitious people naturally have their own ideas, but ordinary people may still believe in the power of the imperial court...Even though the King of Xiangyang could not replace the imperial court, he did not openly stand on his own...

"Don't worry about this matter for the time being. If you find it, keep it. Only by setting a long line can you catch big fish..." Lu Xiao put the brush back into the pen holder. Apart from the deeper and more careful words, there has been no change in appearance for several years.Not only him, but Changan, Lu Jing...everyone who has awakened their supernatural abilities has not changed much.

"The brother who went out to inquire about the news before came back and brought the news. I don't know who he heard from the king of Xiangyang... He intends to give his daughter to Ningguo Marquis Su Beicheng as a concubine." Tang Wei's voice was neither high nor low, not because The king of Xiangyang was flustered when he wanted to join hands with Marquis Ningguo.Such an attitude made Lu Xiao raise his eyebrows, which showed that Tang Wei knew there was something else going on.

"What's the result?" Lu Xiao looked at Tang Wei, who smiled ironically.This is not the first time this method of wooing has been used. It is said that the marriage is more to add a fig leaf to the interest alliance.It's just that Su Beicheng is different from others, and that person is afraid that his efforts will be in vain.

"The Marquis of Ningguo has a childhood sweetheart wife who is very affectionate. Su Beicheng once gave him a gift from the private treasury of the half of the government in order to marry him. This person has a rebellious personality. If he knows that the Marquis of Ningguo dares to take a concubine..." Tang The corner of Wei's mouth twitched slightly when he mentioned this, as if he had a shadow on this matter. "I'm afraid it's inevitable... a storm."

"You know him?" Lu Xiao looked at Tang Wei and couldn't help laughing. It was obviously not like he had heard it, but more like he had seen it with his own eyes.It is normal to say that there is a shrewd wife among the people, and they will spend a lifetime in noisy situations.But Ningguo Hou heard that he was a so-called relative of the emperor, and it was really beyond imagination that such an identity was still the same.

"There was a relationship once, and that person was quite famous in the Jianghu. Before entering the palace, he had been showing his face outside, and everyone thought he was a man until he got married." Tang Wei pursed his lips, and then talked about something A strange thing. "Originally, people like the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion should look down on people from the Jianghu, but for some reason... From Su Beicheng's confession to the proposal of marriage, all the people in the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion were filled with joy and festivities...the elders in the house were not at all dissatisfied look."

"This is really strange, so in your opinion... Su Beicheng is afraid to accept the beautiful woman over there?" Lu Xiao tapped his finger on the table, frowning slightly as if he was puzzled. "Since you know that you will be rejected, why send your daughter there, and suffer this humiliation for nothing."

With Lu Xiao's attitude, it is impossible for him to marry his brother... let alone such a humiliating marriage.The king of Xiangyang married his daughter, not his brother, and his daughter was a bit thinner than his brother.If you are a strong-tempered person, I'm afraid you won't hang yourself with a piece of white silk...

"The king of Xiangyang is arbitrary, and the concubine he sent is not favored. He is cautious, and he dare not take an extra step or say a word. Sending his daughter there at this time should be just a test. After all, the connection between the king of Xiangyang and Su Beicheng It was broken at the beginning of the calamity year..." Tang Wei knew the King of Xiangyang too well, for his own benefit... he used the life and death of a concubine to test this man a lot, but it was just a normal method.

"In that case, we'll wait. We'll wait to see if Su Beicheng really loves his wife as deeply as the ocean."

...

Dingguohoufu

"Tsk, this looks pretty good." Mrs. Ding Guohou was married for more than ten years, and she was still dressed in a strong outfit.Face up to the sky without makeup.Looking at the so-called princess who covered half of his face with a veil on the mat, he secretly felt a little funny.If you really care about your reputation that much, you shouldn't be here at a banquet where all the guests are male...

"Taste it..." Su Beicheng filled a bowl of fish soup and handed it to the person beside him, but the person just glanced at it and showed no intention of taking it.Su Beicheng poured down the bowl in an embarrassing manner, and everyone couldn't see the scene.It's just that in the eyes of those who are interested, it is inevitable to have a little more guesswork, and the King of Xiangyang bears the brunt of it.

The relationship between Ning Guohou and his husband is intriguing...

After the banquet, Mrs. Dingguo Hou returned to her residence, followed by Su Beicheng who followed suit.The flattering expression is slightly restrained, but the deep affection clearly emerges.

"The King of Xiangyang is really interesting. He dares to let his daughter come out at such a meeting. It's fine if he is a brother..." Mrs. Dingguo Hou's original name was Geng Yuan, and she was very open-minded in the world.In fact, it is not the girl who is dissatisfied with talking like this... What King Xiangyang did is the most disgusting.

"It's nothing else, it's just such a despicable method... Even my own daughter can be abandoned, so the matter of forming an alliance should be discussed again and again." Su Beicheng looked at Geng Yuan, his expression not looking good.If it were an ordinary prince's family, maybe they would not be so disgusted, but Su Beicheng was different from others.

"The King of Xiangyang's power is the strongest in our area. If he refuses... not only must he find a good reason, but he must also curb the growing power of the King of Xiangyang..." Geng Yuan looked at Su Beicheng and whispered a few words in his ear .Su Beicheng hesitated a little, and nodded in agreement after a while.

...

When Lu Xiao received the news, half a month later, Su Beicheng had a falling out with his wife, and his wife Geng Yuan was furious and left home with a sword.There is also news that Su Beicheng originally intended to adopt the daughter of King Xiangyang, but someone got there first.This person is none other than a very important minister of King Xiangyang.

Today's King Xiangyang is in a state of desperation. On the one hand, he can't deal with his confidants, and he can't let his retainers feel cold.On the other hand, he can't sit idly by and offend Su Beicheng.Offending Su Beicheng is a small matter, but offending the forces of the Marquis of Ningguo is a major matter.What's more, at this moment, he suspects that other forces want to destroy the alliance between the two.For this reason, there can only be a delay until evidence is found.

Knowing King Xiangyang's plan, Su Beicheng pretended to be out of breath while wiping off all the hands and feet he had touched before.The Marquis of Ningguo's mansion was so enraged that the king of Xiangyang and even his counselors didn't react.

"My daughter-in-law has been in charge of everything in the house for many years, and there is nothing inappropriate about it. Now she is angry and leaves home. It is because of such an unexplainable matter... How do you tell me to see the old prince after I die?" Su Beicheng's Ahmao sang All the works are excellent, and I cried for a while to the King of Xiangyang.This old lady is notoriously difficult to deal with, but she doesn't have the arrogance of those other nobles.

"It's my king's carelessness. This king will definitely make good compensation to Beicheng." After King Xiangyang said this, the old concubine refused to forgive her for a few more words.The troubled King of Xiangyang had a big head, thinking that Su Beicheng wanted to take this opportunity to gain more benefits.He has always been proud of himself, but he didn't realize it at all.

Half a month, whether it is long or not, is not short.Lu Xiao has his own considerations in his heart, if Geng Yuan really has plans, then he should arrive soon.Lu Xiao doesn't need to say much about this, everyone knows it well.

"Shuhe, Tang Wei... Pay attention to your surroundings these days, especially the strangers who come suddenly. Observe secretly, that is, the new trainees will be withdrawn first, and only the skilled and experienced ones will be on top. Those who are on vacation will also be called back..." Lu Xiao guessed what Geng Yuan did, and was really curious about such a brother.

"That Geng Yuan is really interesting, if it's the other brother..." Liu Shuhe, like Lu Xiao, was full of curiosity about this person.It was inconceivable that a brother dared to walk such a long distance alone or even go deep into other people's territories, and what was even more inconceivable was that Su Beicheng actually agreed.Let the dignified princess take the risk herself, if it happens, it is not as simple as losing face.

"When Su Beicheng was still in the imperial city, he was different from the royal relatives. Compared with other people's casualness in matters of men and women...Su Beicheng was not close to a woman. Until I met this princess..." Tang Wei always sees Su Beicheng. It feels a bit inconsistent.It's just that he was a secret guard at the time, so naturally he couldn't look directly at him for too long.What's more, since he is at the bottom of the ranking, it is naturally not his turn to remind some words.

"As you said, I want to meet this highness more and more..." Lu Xiao put the letter paper he received on the dancing flame of the candle, and his eyes behind the orange candlelight seemed to be smiling but not smiling.Immediately, he couldn't help but shook his head... he felt that he was thinking too much.

In the days that followed, Liu Shuhe and Tang Wei closely monitored the movements around them.Others live the usual life of working from sunrise to sunset.Other than Shuhe and Tang Wei, the others don't know much about this matter, but they can see it vaguely...

Especially Lu Jing, Yan Zijin was just pregnant with a child.I also don't want him to be too busy, Lu Xiao is always generous at such times.It's not easy to get pregnant, but it's better to let people be together as much as possible.Furthermore, the possibility of Geng Yuan coming this time as a friend is far greater than that of an enemy.

The King of Xiangyang is not a good partner for him or Su Beicheng.But he is the most powerful... If you don't pay attention, you will have problems.Keeping this hidden □□…is not very comfortable at all.
