Chapter 22: Chapter 21
The man acting as an eyeliner left the food street and turned into the alley. Lu Zhongming and Yu Chigong chased him into the alley and saw him walk into a backyard. Lu Zhongming glanced at Yuchigong, and Yuchigong immediately bowed knowingly, putting his hands on his knees , Lu Zhongming used his back to climb up the wall and looked inside.
Seeing the man enter the yard and come out the front door, the two looked at the man from a distance, followed for several streets, and finally the man entered the Jinyang official residence.
"Go back." Yu Chigong said decisively: "Focus on the other person."
Lu Zhongming ran quickly with Yu Chigong immediately, and returned to the front of the street, but the first person had disappeared. Yu Chigong stood for a while and said: "We followed the wrong one, we should follow the other one."
"There!" Lu Zhongming's eyesight was excellent, and he recognized the first eyeliner in the crowd on the long street at a glance. He saw that person entered a bookstore, and when he came out again, there was a letter in his arms.Immediately afterwards, the man went out along the west city gate and handed out the customs clearance documents.
"He's delivering the letter." Lu Zhongming said, "Follow him."
Yu Chigong immediately went to look for a horse, and brought a military horse over. Lu Zhongming saw a peddler carrying a load under the city wall, so he bought a slingshot and played with it in his hand. When Yu Chigong came over, they got on the horse and followed the man go.
Yu Chigong didn't dare to let that person find out, so he followed unhurriedly, turned his head to Lu Zhongming and said, "I'm going to do something later, you don't have a weapon, don't do it casually, leave it to me..."
Lu Zhongming said behind Yu Chigong: "It's okay, I have weapons." As he spoke, he patted Yu Chigong with his slingshot, and Yuchi Gong couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't make trouble!"
Lu Zhongming said solemnly: "This is my strongest magic weapon! Bows and arrows are all weak, and I have been playing with slingshots since I was a child, and I can hit every shot..."
Yu Chigong hesitated for a while, and Lu Zhongming said again: "You can't see blood, don't draw the knife, we have to tie this man back to the city later, if there is blood, it will be troublesome."
Seeing that he was almost catching up, Yu Chigong asked, "Look him off the horse?"
"Rush over directly!" Lu Zhongming said.
While speaking, Yuchi Gong urged the horse vigorously, and caught up with the messenger. Seeing someone chasing behind him, the messenger felt that it was not right, so he wanted to speed up, but Yu Chi Gong caught up with him in this thought. Lu Zhongming said loudly: "Front Brother! Ask you something!"
messenger:"?"
The messenger turned around.
Lu Zhongming poked his head out from behind Yu Chigong, and asked the messenger, "Have you ever been shot by a slingshot?!"
When it was too late, a gold ingot was in front of him and hit the messenger's eye socket. The messenger gave a loud cry and fell off the horse. Yu Chigong controlled the horse with both legs, and held the Mo knife tightly with both hands, and swung the knife with its sheath beautifully. , with a muffled sound, the messenger was lifted off his horse and fell to the side of the road.
The two got off their horses by the side of the road. Lu Zhongming stepped forward to check the man's life and death, and said, "Quick! Put him in a sack!"
The messenger convulsed for a while, Lu Zhongming pulled the slingshot and gave him another shot, Yu Chi Gong added a scabbard, put the messenger in a sack, put it on the horse, and the two rushed back to the city.Arriving outside the city, it happened to be evening, and the farmers outside the city came back from farming and went back to Jinyang Dongmo to have dinner and rest. Lu Zhongming had the right time, so he asked Yu Chigong to send some money, mixed the sack into the hay cart, and escorted him into the city. go.
"Can't take it back to the palace." Yu Chigong said: "The car can't get in either, once in there will be interrogation."
Lu Zhongming said: "Don't worry, let's go to Dongying."
That evening, when Luo Shixin returned to the barracks, he was startled by a man who was tied up.
"There is nowhere to go." Lu Zhongming said, "I have to leave it with you temporarily."
Luo Shixin looked at the gagged man, then at Lu Zhongming, and asked, "How did you get it back?"
Lu Zhongming said: "I followed him out of the city first, followed quietly, then I shot once, Yu Chigong punched him, I shot him again, Yu Chigong punched him again..."
"Stop!" Luo Shi said, "Who wants to hear how you fight! Get to the point!"
Lu Zhongming had no choice but to say: "This man is a spy. He sent a letter to Yangzhou. We have arrested him and haven't tried him yet. Wait for Li Shimin to come over."
After a while, Qin Qiong also came over, and the three of them looked at each other, Lu Zhongming briefly explained the ins and outs of this person, Qin Qiong said: "You have arrested the people from the government, what are you going to do next?"
Lu Zhongming said: "It's hidden in your barracks. Anyway, the two deputy guards don't know about it. They just think that the messenger has sent a letter, and it will take ten and a half months to come back."
While talking, Yu Chigong led Li Shimin into the barracks, it was already late outside, and the whole city was under curfew, Li Shimin was wearing a cloak, and when he came in, he pulled down his hood and nodded to the two of them.
Lu Zhongming handed out a letter, Yu Chigong glanced at several people and said, "I'm going outside."
"Just here." Qin Qiong said: "The barracks is the safest place."
"My elder brother went to Daxing." Li Shimin said, "I just left today."
Lu Zhongming: "What are you going to do?"
Li Shimin shook his head and unfolded the letter, which contained a handwritten letter written by the deputy of Bingzhou, which mentioned a lot of Bingzhou's military deployment, Turkic military plans, etc. Li Shimin frowned deeply, and Lu Zhongming handed him another letter, asking: " Is there a spy planted by Yang Guang in the palace, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Li Shimin glanced at Lu Zhongming and said, "This matter is very sensitive, I dare not say it."
The second letter that Lu Zhongming handed over was in very elegant handwriting, and what was written inside was all about Li Yuan's recruitment of talents and his intention to raise troops against the Sui Dynasty.
"It's a woman." Li Shimin frowned deeply.
"Not necessarily." Lu Zhongming said: "It may also be a man who pretended to write in female handwriting."
Li Shimin said: "It's too difficult to check..."
Yu Chigong tore off the cloth strip that sealed the letter, and the man began to wail: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! The villain doesn't know anything! It was Lord Wang and Lord Gao who ordered the little one to deliver the letter—"
"Send it to who in Yangzhou?" Li Shimin asked first.
The courier mentioned a person's name, but Lu Zhongming had never heard of it, so he guessed it was Yang Guang's informant.Li Shimin asked again: "Who wrote the second letter?"
The messenger said: "Yes... yes... the villain doesn't know... the person who delivers the letter never meets us... he just puts the letter in the book... the little one goes to the bookstore to look for the letter on the first day of every month... ..."
Li Shimin looked at several people and said, "How did you catch him back?"
Lu Zhongming raised his hand, holding a slingshot.
"I bought it at the market." Lu Zhongming said.
Li Shimin really lost his temper, thought for a long time, and then said: "I can only lock him here first, and I will make a long-term plan for the rest."
Several people nodded, Li Shimin said: "I still have to go to Gao Shilian's house, and discuss it after I get back. Yuchi Gong, take Zhongming back."
Yu Chigong nodded, and sent Li Shimin out of the barracks. Luo Shixin was afraid of leaking the news, so he dragged the man to the woodshed in the backyard, gagged him, and shut him up.Qin Qiong asked: "Have you eaten? Let's eat together."
Lu Zhongming said: "Yuchi didn't eat either, I'll go back and eat with him later."
Qin Qiong glanced out and asked, "Why are you two working together?"
Just when Luo Shixin turned back, Lu Zhongming told Luo Shixin about Yu Chigong following him and taking care of him. Luo Shixin said, "What are you doing for a crime? This is to match you two."
"What... what?" Lu Zhongming was puzzled.
"Don't play dumb." Luo Shi said, "That Heitantou is interested in you, don't you know?"
Qin Qiong said happily: "The blind man can see it, and he went to ask the prince to arrange for him to follow you every day, and he will believe it if there are ghosts."
Lu Zhongming said in embarrassment: "It's... not bad. It's not as good as you think..."
Luo Shixin patted Lu Zhongming on the head, and when he wanted to say something more, Yu Chigong came in, looked at Lu Zhongming with a questioning look, and said nothing.Lu Zhongming said clearly: "Let's go back first."
Luo Shixin said sourly, "Go away."
Lv Zhongming was amused, so he followed Yu Chigong back to the palace. It was already dark, and the maid came over and said, "Your Majesty is away, should Master Lu eat in the courtyard or in the hall?"
Lu Zhongming was playing with the slingshot, without raising his head, he replied, "Let's eat at home. If there is anything delicious today, bring it up."
Yu Chigong came in and sat cross-legged in the hall, Lu Zhongming raised his eyes and glanced at him, seeing Yu Chigong was looking at him, the eyes of both of them were a little uncomfortable, and when they touched each other for a while, they turned their heads away like ghosts in their hearts.
Yuchi Gong: "Do you... have something to eat? I'll go and get some for you."
Lu Zhongming waved his hand and said, "No, it's time to eat." Do you think my impression in your heart is only eating...?Why do you always ask me if I have eaten or not.
Shaoqing's maid served dinner, and there was another dish in it, which was eaten last night. The maid said: "This is specially ordered by Tang Guogong to cook for Mr. Lu."
For several days in a row, there were delicacies from mountains and seas, and Lu Zhongming was a little tired of eating, so he expressed his gratitude. Yu Chigong looked at the table full of dishes, and sat down to take care of Lu Zhongming to eat.
Lu Zhongming was a little uncomfortable and said, "I'll do it myself, you usually eat this? What do the rest of the diners eat?"
Yuchi said respectfully: "Your board and lodging are the second-class in the palace, second only to the prince. The people of the world ordered you not to neglect you."
Lu Zhongming didn't expect it, he just thought that everyone in the palace eats the same food, and now it seems that they are divided into different classes, so he said happily: "It's his kindness. What do you usually eat, eat with him?"
Yuchi Gong said: "Eat by yourself. Before you came, I lived in the outer ear room of the East Mansion. Three meals a day, noodle cake, soup, three kinds of dishes. Generals eat like this."
Lu Zhongming thought of the diners in the mansion. When he came here on the first day, he still saw a lot of idlers, so he asked again: "Are there many like me?"
"Many." Yu Chigong served Lu Zhongming a meal, and replied: "There are more than 300 diners in the entire palace, and most of them live in the East Mansion. But there are not many advisers, and most of them have skills and come to make a living. Shimin thinks , Anyone who can use it stays, and those who really don’t think they need it will give some money and send it home. The king of Tang often blames him for spending money like water.”
Dongfu is Li Shimin's territory, and he has nearly three hundred followers under his command, won't he make him poor?Presumably, no matter how rich Li Shimin is, there should be a limit. With so many people eating, it is expected that he will not be able to eat very well.
"Eat more if you like it." Yuchi said respectfully.
Lu Zhongming finally couldn't listen anymore, and said, "Actually, I don't always think about eating..."
Yu Chigong nodded with a serious face, and Lu Zhongming said again: "In the East Mansion, who is the most favored?"
Yu Chigong thought for a while and said, "You want to hear the truth?"
Lu Zhongming: =_=
Yuchi smiled and said: "Well, everyone was favored when they first came here."
Lu Zhongming suddenly realized, squinting his eyes and said: "I said, why are you so kind to us? If time goes by and you don't have much talent to learn, you will sit on the bench, right?"
"It's not like that." Yu Chigong said: "Shimin is very busy every day, even if he hits it off, he doesn't have time to hang out with him all day long. Only those who hit it off and have skills will be favored by him."
"But there are not many capable people." Yu Chigong explained, and then took food for Lu Zhongming, saying: "You and General Qin, General Luo are already very rare, and people like Changsun Wuji who have been with the world since childhood If you know each other, it's no problem."
"What about you?" Lu Zhongming asked again.
"I..." Yu Chigong thought for a while and said, "It's okay, he treated me very well."
Lu Zhongming said: "Why do you like him?"
Yuchi Gong said: "I don't like him, don't always put a label on me, I just think he looks like..."
Having said this, Yu Chigong immediately stopped talking, but Lu Zhongming heard it and asked, "Who do you look like?"
Yu Chigong: "His opponents are very good. Even if the opponents are not capable, he will treat them with courtesy and sincerity. Moreover, he is very short of capable manpower right now."
Lu Zhongming: "Like who?"
Yu Chigong: "Well, I didn't lie to you about my life experience. I did come to Yanmen after the death of my parents, but I met Yang Guang's personal conquest at the Yanmen Pass, and fought with the Turks... The people of the world... He saved me in that scuffle, and let me join the army regardless of my origin..."
Lu Zhongming: "Oh... so that's the case, then who does he look like?"
Yuchi Gong: "..."
Lu Zhongming: "So you have been following him."
Yuchi Gong: "Like you."
Lu Zhongming: "???"
"Like me?" Lu Zhongming said inexplicably: "The order is reversed, didn't you know him first, and then you know me?"
Yu Chigong smiled and said nothing, Lu Zhongming looked at Yu Chigong suspiciously, at this moment, Li Shimin came.
"Every time I ask this question, whether it's someone coming or an accident, I will always be interrupted by all kinds of weird reasons!" Lu Zhongming quit, saying: "I don't care! Today I must finish asking and ask clearly !"
Li Shimin: "???"
Yuchi Gong: "..."
Li Shimin: "What's wrong? Did you two quarrel?"
Lu Zhongming stretched his sleeves, stopped Li Shimin, and said, "Sit down first, I'm curious." Then he took an iron spoon, and said to Yu Chigong, "Did we know each other before?"
Yu Chigong immediately said innocently: "Didn't I tell you? I don't know."
Yu Chigong was wearing a sleeveless military uniform, showing his ribs under his arms. Lu Zhongming put the cold spoon on the muscles under Yu Chigong's arms.
"Ah—" Yuchi Gong suddenly screamed.
Lu Zhongming was expressionless: "Are you recruiting or not?"
"Recruit!" Yuchi Gong immediately said, "I've recruited them all!"
Lu Zhongming said: "It's good if you recruit it." After speaking, he put the spoon on it again, and Yu Chigong let out another scream.
"I really don't know!" Yuchi Gong said: "I don't know! Don't do it! Strong man! Please!"
Li Shimin: "..."
Lu Zhongming said: "Then how do you say that Brother Shimin looks like me?"
"Oh?" Li Shimin said with a smile: "It turns out that Jingde treated me so well, but just regarded me as Xiao Zhongming?"
Lu Zhongming: "..."
Yu Chigong's face turned red immediately, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in, and said, "I just think, Zhongming, you... are very familiar, as if you have seen... in a dream, and that's the reason."
Said that Bi Yuchigong got up in a panic and ran out, Lu Zhongming was still in astonishment, Yuchigong had already run out of the second door, and stumbled on the wooden sill, Li Shimin laughed loudly, Yuchigong had already run away and disappeared.
There was an unspeakable embarrassment at the dinner table, but in the end Li Shimin broke the tranquility and said with a smile, "Zhong Ming."
"I knew Jingde two years ago." Li Shimin said, "After I brought him back home, I saw that he was getting old. My father was grateful for his life-saving grace and wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but he refused. gone."
Lu Zhongming was preoccupied, held his job bowl, hummed, and Li Shimin said: "Jingde told me that since he was a child, he often had similar dreams, and in his dreams, there would always be a person." Li Shimin said: "He guards for me." Daixian, when monitoring Turks, sent me a letter, saying, that person finally appeared, he waited for more than twenty years, he finally got you, let me come and see you."
Lu Zhongming couldn't help laughing immediately, and said: "From childhood to adulthood, I always dreamed of a person? This is too..."
Suddenly, Lu Zhongming thought of another guy who loves to sleep and often dreams - Taishang Laojun.
"Damn, this is—!" Lu Zhongming threw the bowl and roared: "Can you be more unreliable?! Qin Qiong is fine, old gentleman, you're saying hello to Yu Chigong like this, you are playing me to death !"
Li Shimin: "..."
"It's nothing." Lu Zhongming regained his facial paralysis in an instant, and said sincerely, "Brother Shimin, let's talk about serious business."
Li Shimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I haven't finished my words yet, this man Jingde..."
Lu Zhongming: "No, no, let's discuss serious matters..."
Li Shimin: "No, let me finish first. Jingde likes you very much. He said that the day he saw you at Yanmen Pass, he knew you were here. Although it was different from you when he was a child, he knew that It's you. He said, you are not a mortal, your appearance must be accompanied by some major events, sent by the immortal to support the world, he will believe in you, want to accompany you, and take care of you, so I also... believe in you."
Li Shimin looked into Lu Zhongming's eyes seriously, and said: "Jingde is like my elder brother. He is reliable, calm, and able to accomplish great things. He is also very brave and witty. He rescued me from thousands of troops. I Seriously, you might as well think about it."
"Kao Kao Kao... what are you thinking about?" Lu Zhongming asked blankly.
"Consider and Jingde brother..." Li Shimin couldn't continue, and said frantically, "Don't pretend to be stupid! You usually pretend to be an expert when you talk!"
Lu Zhongming said: "Did you finally find out? Everyone who knows me well knows that I am a fool."
Li Shimin: "..."
Li Shimin really lost to him, and Lu Zhongming said again: "Isn't it good to be two? You are also very good at two."
"I'm not two!" Li Shimin shouted sadly.
"Okay." Lu Zhongming said: "You are not bad at all, okay, come on, let's talk about serious business. How to fix it next?"
Li Shimin was finally taken away from the topic by Lu Zhongming, and he said seriously: "I got the letter, but it hasn't been forged yet. There are many people in the house who don't dare to mess around, so I have to take it out and find a way..."
Lu Zhongming said: "You have raised hundreds of people in the East Mansion, why can't you find even one who knows how to cheat, and you still say the same."
Li Shimin said frantically: "Isn't it because I haven't met the right one! I want to buy a bone with a thousand dollars!"
Lu Zhongming comforted again: "Okay, okay...the spies in the house, have you found out who it is?"
Li Shimin was silent, shook his head, and said, "I guess it's probably a woman."
Lu Zhongming said: "Sit down, keep an eye on, and see who goes out of the palace frequently, travels between the palace and Jinyang Palace, and even the government."
"Someone has been sent to monitor." Li Shimin said: "Even the deputy left guard doesn't know who the spy is, which shows that he is a careful person. Such a person must be prepared, and will not show his feet so easily."
The two analyzed for a while, and learned from the letter that the spy would travel between the palace and the market every month to pass on news. Today is the third day of February. will know.
After discussing for a long time, Li Shimin went back, and Lu Zhongming said again: "You have been here too often these few days."
"I know." Li Shimin nodded and said, "Brother has gone to Daxing to do some errands, so it's okay to walk around occasionally. Let's go."
After speaking, Li Shimin said goodbye, and when he went out, he saw Yu Chigong standing outside the door, looking distraught, couldn't help smiling, seeing Li Shimin leaving, Yuchigong went in awkwardly.
"Eat... are you full?" Yu Chigong asked boldly.
"I'm full..." Lu Zhongming answered bravely.
The two remained silent in embarrassment, Lu Zhongming said: "You... eat, I'll go up and rest first."
After that, as soon as Lv Zhongming received the letter, he went upstairs like flying, and never came down again.
How is this going!Lu Zhongming was sitting in front of the desk with a frantic expression on his face, touching this and touching that. Mingming's father said, isn't it like this when you are in love? !I still remember Lu Zhongming once asked his father what love is, and Lu Bu replied that he just wanted to protect him and be with him for the rest of his life, no more.
Lu Zhongming already knew that Yu Chigong was interested in him, and Luo Shixin used it to laugh at him more than once, but what should he do next?Lu Zhongming couldn't think of what to do at all.He always felt that although he liked Yu Chigong quite a lot, it was far from the point where he wanted to be with him forever.
"Want to have supper?" Yu Chigong asked downstairs.
Lu Zhongming bounced up as if he had been shocked.
"Angry?" Yu Chigong asked again.
Lu Zhongming: "No...no, I'm asleep."
Yuchi Gong said: "I ran outside for a whole day today, so go to bed early."
Lu Zhongming hummed, sat for a while, couldn't help but went to the stairs again, stuck his head into the slit of the stairs, looked down, saw Yu Chigong sitting alone eating, Lu Zhongming just glanced at him, Yu Chigong Then he put down his chopsticks, seemed to feel it, and turned around and said, "Zhong Ming?"
Lu Zhongming immediately retracted his head, but unexpectedly, his head was caught by the slit in the stairs.
Lu Zhongming: "..."
Yuchi Gong: "..."
Yu Chigong came up in a hurry, Lu Zhongming exerted all his strength to pull his head out from the gap between the wooden boards, Yu Chigong's whole body was trembling, obviously it was very hard to hold back a smile.After finally helping Lu Zhongming pull out his head, Yu Chi respectfully said, "Call me if you need anything, and I'll sleep underneath."
"Ok!"
Lu Zhongming fled back to the bedroom on the second floor in an instant.
That night, Lu Zhongming tossed and turned on the bed, his ears were burning hot, and he didn't know if it was because of being caught by the stair board or something else.
I feel that when I came to Chutang this time, not only my career was far from what I imagined, but even my love affair was completely running away. Lu Zhongming really thought about whether one day, he would also start a family. A person you like together may be a nine-tailed fox, or a white dragon or a green dragon...
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being with people. Humans are the spirit of all things. When my father became a fairy, he was also a human being. Everyone talks in the appearance of a human being on Jinao Island. Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and are the most spiritual in the world biology.It's just that it's a bit far from the assumption made by Lu Zhongming before.
In fact, he likes dragons the most, with gleaming scales and majestic eyes, white tigers are also good, very safe and fluffy, Suzaku is a bit sissy, I don't like it... But dad also said, you like it, I don't necessarily like you, as long as everyone likes each other, gender is not a problem, species is not related.
Lu Zhongming began to think wildly, if Yu Chigong was a black dragon, then he would definitely shoot the stars with his eyes, drooling and posting them upside down, no, this is not because of the species.If you like it, you like anything, and if you don't like it, even the dragon doesn't like it.
That night, the weather had warmed up slightly. In Lu Zhongming's imagination, Yu Chigong had transformed into a black dragon, high-end and elegant, low-key luxury and connotation. Thinking about it this way, it seemed pretty good.
The next day, when Lu Zhongming had breakfast, he found that Yu Chigong seemed a little sleepless, and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
Yuchi said respectfully, "Sleep well."
Lu Zhongming was funny, he didn't sleep well if he didn't sleep well, last night you were busy in my mind all night, of course you didn't sleep well.
Yu Chigong asked again: "What are you doing today?"
Lu Zhongming said: "The thing you're waiting for hasn't arrived yet, let's go for a walk first."
He said he was going for a walk, but after he went out, Lu Zhongming went straight to the barracks, took advantage of Yu Chigong's absence, pulled Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, and told what happened last night.
"Don't talk about those things, do you have a crush on him?" Luo Shixin asked.
"Ah?" Lu Zhongming said, "It's... okay."
The two fell.
Qin Qiong said: "Speak clearly, do you like him? It depends on you. Ask me what to do?"
Luo Shixin was full of suspicion and asked, "Aren't you a fairy? Can a fairy be with a mortal?"
Lu Zhongming said: "It doesn't matter, it's just..."
Qin Qiong asked: "What is the person you like like?"
Lu Zhongming said: "I like dragons, in fact, it would be nice if he was a black dragon."
Luo Shixin: "???"
Qin Qiong: "?"
Luo Shidao: "Black dragon? That kid might be a black dragon..."
Qin Qiong: "..."
Lu Zhongming: "?"
"Think about it for yourself, aren't you very smart?" Luo Shi said, "I think you like him quite a lot. Why do you like him?"
Qin Qiong said: "That's right, I'm going to train."
Lu Zhongming had no choice but to leave again, Yu Chigong waited outside, standing in the spring sunshine, changed into the simple lining armor worn by guards today, looking very handsome from a distance.
"Go to the bookstore to have a look." Lu Zhongming took the initiative.
Yu Chigong nodded and led the way ahead, Lu Zhongming decided not to think about it yet.When the two arrived outside the bookstore, Lu Zhongming flipped through the book casually, glanced at the words, and suddenly his heart was shocked.The words written in the book and the handwriting in the letter are obviously written by the same person, although the font has been changed, they can still be recognized vaguely.
"It's a pretty word." Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, who wrote it?"
"Daxing Yanfang Study——" the shopkeeper dusted his head behind the counter without raising his head, and said, "The small shop is a semicolon, didn't you see the signboard? The books here are all transcribed and shipped from the other end."
"Really?" Lu Zhongming took another copy and found that although the two fonts were the same, they were not written by the same person. The shopkeeper suddenly remembered something and said, "The "Nineteen Ancient Poems" in your hand should be Miss Zhang copied it."
Lu Zhongming asked again: "What's Miss Zhang's name?"
The shopkeeper said: "Hey, you apprentice, how can you just inquire about other people's names? There is only this one left, so buy it as soon as possible."
When Yu Chigong heard this, his face changed instantly, and he narrowed his eyes. Before Lu Zhongming noticed it, he asked himself: "Why did she transcribe the book to sell?"
The shopkeeper replied casually: "Living is forced, do you think that everyone is like you, wearing a sword in the street, and getting money just by doing nothing?"
Yuchi Gong whispered: "Don't ask, I know who she is."
Said that Bi Yuchigong went to pay the bill, took the nineteen ancient poems, and came out with Lu Zhongming. Lu Zhongming was puzzled and asked, "Do you know who it is?"
In an instant, Lu Zhongming realized something was wrong. Since Yu Chigong knew him, that is to say, it was his friend in Tang Palace, his friend...
Sure enough, Yu Chigong had a complicated expression and said, "We asked too many questions. It's easy to arouse the other party's alert."
"It might as well, tell me who it is first." Lu Zhongming said.
Yu Chigong was silent, Lu Zhongming said: "Say it, I promise not to say it."
Yu Chigong looked at Lu Zhongming and said, "It's Li Jing's wife. I remember that when he passed Yanmen Pass, he took her wife with him and sent him away from Dai County. He came to your stall and had a fortune-telling."
Lu Zhongming: "!!!"
Yu Chigong said as he walked, and it was only then that Lu Zhongming realized that Yu Chigong and Li Jing did not know each other long ago, but recognized each other in the iron shop. Yu Chigong, who came out from Hengli and rescued Li Shimin, was very impressed.
What Li Jing told him was the same as what he told Lv Zhongming - he was convicted in Daxing, fled to the west, and went to Bingzhou to join Li Yuan, thinking that Li Yuan was the lord of the Ming Dynasty.And Zhang Chuchen, known as the Red Fu Girl, followed Li Jing all the way.
Lu Zhongming frowned deeply: "This is troublesome, I didn't expect to check it again and again, and I would find my own head..."
"One of my own?" Yu Chigong heard something, and Lu Zhongming immediately waved his hand, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.
"What do you think?" Lu Zhongming said.
Yuchi Gong said: "I'm going to persuade brother Li Jing."
"No!" Lu Zhongming changed his expression and said, "Are you kidding me? He can put on a show all the way and sneak into Jinyang. He can't be persuaded without your persuasion. Think about it, Li Shimin asked you to go to Dai County as an undercover agent. Someone Tell you to give up and go to Turkic, will you listen?"
Yu Chi respectfully said: "But you can't let the prince know about this!"
"I can't hold back!" Lu Zhongming said: "Shimin already knew that there were spies in the mansion. We found half of the investigation and even got the letter. Now it is suddenly broken without a sound. Do you think this is possible?"
Yuchi Gong said: "Li Jing is full of talent and learning, he is a person who can do great things, if you go to inform..."
"What an informer!" Lu Zhongming said, "What kind of word is that!"
Yuchi Gong immediately said: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
Lu Zhongming left angrily, and Yu Chigong followed behind him, apologizing and bowing like a bear, Lu Zhongming felt it was funny again and couldn't hold back anymore.
"What do you want to say?" Lu Zhongming said.
"Chen Heng's pros and cons." Yuchi said respectfully: "I know the pros and cons, let him confess to Shimin himself."
Lu Zhongming shook his head and said, "He won't be someone who just gives up when he says he will."
Yuchi Gong said: "Promise me, don't expose this matter first, I will slowly find a way."
Lu Zhongming didn't intend to betray Li Jing at first, he just wanted to solve it in another way, but seeing Yu Chigong so nervous about Li Jing, he felt a little sour.
"What's wrong with him?" Lu Zhongming said.
"Friend." Yuchi Gong said, "This is my principle."
Lu Zhongming: "No, I'm going to 'inform', you either kill me, or I'll 'inform'."
Yuchi Gong: "You..."
Lu Zhongming looked at him with a paralyzed face.
Yuchi Gong said: "Forget it, I'd better stab it, you don't need to tell me, I'll go to Shimin."
Lu Zhongming: "What about your principles?"
Yuchi Gong smiled and said: "When you conflicted with the principle, of course you were chosen. Did you still kill you?"
Lu Zhongming suspected that he was played by Yu Chigong again, maybe he knew that he would not tell Li Shimin.However, at this moment, the onlookers on the street all looked concerned and talked a lot. Both of them realized that Lu Zhongming was embarrassed, and Yu Chigong immediately grabbed him by the shoulders, pretending to be good brothers, and fled away like flying.
In the afternoon, on the Wangfu school grounds, a round of warm spring sun, Tiance cavalry lined up and practiced marksmanship on the school grounds.
Li Jing was wearing a big coat, walking with his hands behind his back in the phalanx, the corners of his lips were as sharp as a knife's edge, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his face was indifferent. When he was staring at the soldiers under his command, he suddenly noticed the corners of the mouths of two people in the distance. He picked it up slightly.
"General Yuchi."
"General Li." Yu Chigong stood outside Tiance's military formation, cupped his fists at Li Jinglue, and said in a deep voice, "A little friend came to see you."
With his hands behind his back, Lu Zhongming smiled and walked out from behind Yu Chigong, saying, "General Li, you have made me suffer so much by deceiving me."
"Daoist Lu." Although Li Jing didn't look happy or angry, his eyes were filled with joy, and he asked, "How does the wine taste like?"
"Good wine." Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "Yuchi made plum wine for me to drink, where did you get it?"
"A reward from the King of Tang." Li Jing replied: "If you want to drink again, you can only wait for the next time. General Yuchi may be able to drink it often."
Yu Chigong smiled helplessly, and said: "The mission was missed, now I'm just a bodyguard, I don't dare to be called a general anymore."
Li Jing said again: "A few days ago, I heard that the Taoist chief came to Jinyang, but he was so busy with military affairs that he had no time to see him."
"Not busy." Lu Zhongming said with a smile: "Let's have a drink together when you have time."
The three of them walked along the side of the school grounds, Yu Chi respectfully said: "Brother Li Jing, now Tiance Army is entrusted to you?"
"Jing He De what can?" Li Jing said: "It's just that the son is out on business, so I will temporarily take charge. Learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses, and practice the skill of fighting immediately."
Lu Zhongming glanced at the Tiance Army phalanx, and saw that the army was indeed well-disciplined. He expected Li Shimin's generals, everyone wanted to lead this army, but their talents were limited. It seemed that Li Jing was doing well.
Yuchi Gong said: "When will you come to practice and play a game?"
Li Jingdao: "That's exactly what I mean. I said earlier that I would ask General Yuchi for advice. It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day?"
Yuchi Gong smiled, and Li Jing and Li Jing exchanged fists, each went to get their weapons.
Previously, Lu Zhongming just agreed with Yu Chigong to chat with Li Jing, but he didn't expect that Yu Chigong would fight with Li Jing!Why didn't this guy follow the script? ? ? !
The spring day was fine, according to the two people in the field, Yu Chigong brought a horse-slaying epee, and Li Jing brought a painting halberd.Lu Zhongming was dumbfounded for a moment, are these two guys hidden masters?Immediately he understood that Yu Chigong wanted him to watch, not to watch himself, but to watch Li Jing's kung fu.
Let him see Li Jing's ability clearly, so that he knows that Li Jing is a rare talent.
"Yuchi Gong!" Lu Zhongming immediately said, "You're welcome."
Yu Chigong was caught by Lu Zhongming's eyes, he couldn't laugh or cry, nodded, clasped his fists and said: "Obey! Never hold back!"
All of a sudden Tiance's army rushed to watch Li Jing and Yu Chigong's discussion, just at this time, Li Shimin had just finished his discussion and came out from the side hall outside the martial arts arena. Seeing the posture of the two, he knew what happened. Also said from a distance: "Yu Chigong, don't lose my face!"
Seeing the man enter the yard and come out the front door, the two looked at the man from a distance, followed for several streets, and finally the man entered the Jinyang official residence.
"Go back." Yu Chigong said decisively: "Focus on the other person."
Lu Zhongming ran quickly with Yu Chigong immediately, and returned to the front of the street, but the first person had disappeared. Yu Chigong stood for a while and said: "We followed the wrong one, we should follow the other one."
"There!" Lu Zhongming's eyesight was excellent, and he recognized the first eyeliner in the crowd on the long street at a glance. He saw that person entered a bookstore, and when he came out again, there was a letter in his arms.Immediately afterwards, the man went out along the west city gate and handed out the customs clearance documents.
"He's delivering the letter." Lu Zhongming said, "Follow him."
Yu Chigong immediately went to look for a horse, and brought a military horse over. Lu Zhongming saw a peddler carrying a load under the city wall, so he bought a slingshot and played with it in his hand. When Yu Chigong came over, they got on the horse and followed the man go.
Yu Chigong didn't dare to let that person find out, so he followed unhurriedly, turned his head to Lu Zhongming and said, "I'm going to do something later, you don't have a weapon, don't do it casually, leave it to me..."
Lu Zhongming said behind Yu Chigong: "It's okay, I have weapons." As he spoke, he patted Yu Chigong with his slingshot, and Yuchi Gong couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't make trouble!"
Lu Zhongming said solemnly: "This is my strongest magic weapon! Bows and arrows are all weak, and I have been playing with slingshots since I was a child, and I can hit every shot..."
Yu Chigong hesitated for a while, and Lu Zhongming said again: "You can't see blood, don't draw the knife, we have to tie this man back to the city later, if there is blood, it will be troublesome."
Seeing that he was almost catching up, Yu Chigong asked, "Look him off the horse?"
"Rush over directly!" Lu Zhongming said.
While speaking, Yuchi Gong urged the horse vigorously, and caught up with the messenger. Seeing someone chasing behind him, the messenger felt that it was not right, so he wanted to speed up, but Yu Chi Gong caught up with him in this thought. Lu Zhongming said loudly: "Front Brother! Ask you something!"
messenger:"?"
The messenger turned around.
Lu Zhongming poked his head out from behind Yu Chigong, and asked the messenger, "Have you ever been shot by a slingshot?!"
When it was too late, a gold ingot was in front of him and hit the messenger's eye socket. The messenger gave a loud cry and fell off the horse. Yu Chigong controlled the horse with both legs, and held the Mo knife tightly with both hands, and swung the knife with its sheath beautifully. , with a muffled sound, the messenger was lifted off his horse and fell to the side of the road.
The two got off their horses by the side of the road. Lu Zhongming stepped forward to check the man's life and death, and said, "Quick! Put him in a sack!"
The messenger convulsed for a while, Lu Zhongming pulled the slingshot and gave him another shot, Yu Chi Gong added a scabbard, put the messenger in a sack, put it on the horse, and the two rushed back to the city.Arriving outside the city, it happened to be evening, and the farmers outside the city came back from farming and went back to Jinyang Dongmo to have dinner and rest. Lu Zhongming had the right time, so he asked Yu Chigong to send some money, mixed the sack into the hay cart, and escorted him into the city. go.
"Can't take it back to the palace." Yu Chigong said: "The car can't get in either, once in there will be interrogation."
Lu Zhongming said: "Don't worry, let's go to Dongying."
That evening, when Luo Shixin returned to the barracks, he was startled by a man who was tied up.
"There is nowhere to go." Lu Zhongming said, "I have to leave it with you temporarily."
Luo Shixin looked at the gagged man, then at Lu Zhongming, and asked, "How did you get it back?"
Lu Zhongming said: "I followed him out of the city first, followed quietly, then I shot once, Yu Chigong punched him, I shot him again, Yu Chigong punched him again..."
"Stop!" Luo Shi said, "Who wants to hear how you fight! Get to the point!"
Lu Zhongming had no choice but to say: "This man is a spy. He sent a letter to Yangzhou. We have arrested him and haven't tried him yet. Wait for Li Shimin to come over."
After a while, Qin Qiong also came over, and the three of them looked at each other, Lu Zhongming briefly explained the ins and outs of this person, Qin Qiong said: "You have arrested the people from the government, what are you going to do next?"
Lu Zhongming said: "It's hidden in your barracks. Anyway, the two deputy guards don't know about it. They just think that the messenger has sent a letter, and it will take ten and a half months to come back."
While talking, Yu Chigong led Li Shimin into the barracks, it was already late outside, and the whole city was under curfew, Li Shimin was wearing a cloak, and when he came in, he pulled down his hood and nodded to the two of them.
Lu Zhongming handed out a letter, Yu Chigong glanced at several people and said, "I'm going outside."
"Just here." Qin Qiong said: "The barracks is the safest place."
"My elder brother went to Daxing." Li Shimin said, "I just left today."
Lu Zhongming: "What are you going to do?"
Li Shimin shook his head and unfolded the letter, which contained a handwritten letter written by the deputy of Bingzhou, which mentioned a lot of Bingzhou's military deployment, Turkic military plans, etc. Li Shimin frowned deeply, and Lu Zhongming handed him another letter, asking: " Is there a spy planted by Yang Guang in the palace, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Li Shimin glanced at Lu Zhongming and said, "This matter is very sensitive, I dare not say it."
The second letter that Lu Zhongming handed over was in very elegant handwriting, and what was written inside was all about Li Yuan's recruitment of talents and his intention to raise troops against the Sui Dynasty.
"It's a woman." Li Shimin frowned deeply.
"Not necessarily." Lu Zhongming said: "It may also be a man who pretended to write in female handwriting."
Li Shimin said: "It's too difficult to check..."
Yu Chigong tore off the cloth strip that sealed the letter, and the man began to wail: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! The villain doesn't know anything! It was Lord Wang and Lord Gao who ordered the little one to deliver the letter—"
"Send it to who in Yangzhou?" Li Shimin asked first.
The courier mentioned a person's name, but Lu Zhongming had never heard of it, so he guessed it was Yang Guang's informant.Li Shimin asked again: "Who wrote the second letter?"
The messenger said: "Yes... yes... the villain doesn't know... the person who delivers the letter never meets us... he just puts the letter in the book... the little one goes to the bookstore to look for the letter on the first day of every month... ..."
Li Shimin looked at several people and said, "How did you catch him back?"
Lu Zhongming raised his hand, holding a slingshot.
"I bought it at the market." Lu Zhongming said.
Li Shimin really lost his temper, thought for a long time, and then said: "I can only lock him here first, and I will make a long-term plan for the rest."
Several people nodded, Li Shimin said: "I still have to go to Gao Shilian's house, and discuss it after I get back. Yuchi Gong, take Zhongming back."
Yu Chigong nodded, and sent Li Shimin out of the barracks. Luo Shixin was afraid of leaking the news, so he dragged the man to the woodshed in the backyard, gagged him, and shut him up.Qin Qiong asked: "Have you eaten? Let's eat together."
Lu Zhongming said: "Yuchi didn't eat either, I'll go back and eat with him later."
Qin Qiong glanced out and asked, "Why are you two working together?"
Just when Luo Shixin turned back, Lu Zhongming told Luo Shixin about Yu Chigong following him and taking care of him. Luo Shixin said, "What are you doing for a crime? This is to match you two."
"What... what?" Lu Zhongming was puzzled.
"Don't play dumb." Luo Shi said, "That Heitantou is interested in you, don't you know?"
Qin Qiong said happily: "The blind man can see it, and he went to ask the prince to arrange for him to follow you every day, and he will believe it if there are ghosts."
Lu Zhongming said in embarrassment: "It's... not bad. It's not as good as you think..."
Luo Shixin patted Lu Zhongming on the head, and when he wanted to say something more, Yu Chigong came in, looked at Lu Zhongming with a questioning look, and said nothing.Lu Zhongming said clearly: "Let's go back first."
Luo Shixin said sourly, "Go away."
Lv Zhongming was amused, so he followed Yu Chigong back to the palace. It was already dark, and the maid came over and said, "Your Majesty is away, should Master Lu eat in the courtyard or in the hall?"
Lu Zhongming was playing with the slingshot, without raising his head, he replied, "Let's eat at home. If there is anything delicious today, bring it up."
Yu Chigong came in and sat cross-legged in the hall, Lu Zhongming raised his eyes and glanced at him, seeing Yu Chigong was looking at him, the eyes of both of them were a little uncomfortable, and when they touched each other for a while, they turned their heads away like ghosts in their hearts.
Yuchi Gong: "Do you... have something to eat? I'll go and get some for you."
Lu Zhongming waved his hand and said, "No, it's time to eat." Do you think my impression in your heart is only eating...?Why do you always ask me if I have eaten or not.
Shaoqing's maid served dinner, and there was another dish in it, which was eaten last night. The maid said: "This is specially ordered by Tang Guogong to cook for Mr. Lu."
For several days in a row, there were delicacies from mountains and seas, and Lu Zhongming was a little tired of eating, so he expressed his gratitude. Yu Chigong looked at the table full of dishes, and sat down to take care of Lu Zhongming to eat.
Lu Zhongming was a little uncomfortable and said, "I'll do it myself, you usually eat this? What do the rest of the diners eat?"
Yuchi said respectfully: "Your board and lodging are the second-class in the palace, second only to the prince. The people of the world ordered you not to neglect you."
Lu Zhongming didn't expect it, he just thought that everyone in the palace eats the same food, and now it seems that they are divided into different classes, so he said happily: "It's his kindness. What do you usually eat, eat with him?"
Yuchi Gong said: "Eat by yourself. Before you came, I lived in the outer ear room of the East Mansion. Three meals a day, noodle cake, soup, three kinds of dishes. Generals eat like this."
Lu Zhongming thought of the diners in the mansion. When he came here on the first day, he still saw a lot of idlers, so he asked again: "Are there many like me?"
"Many." Yu Chigong served Lu Zhongming a meal, and replied: "There are more than 300 diners in the entire palace, and most of them live in the East Mansion. But there are not many advisers, and most of them have skills and come to make a living. Shimin thinks , Anyone who can use it stays, and those who really don’t think they need it will give some money and send it home. The king of Tang often blames him for spending money like water.”
Dongfu is Li Shimin's territory, and he has nearly three hundred followers under his command, won't he make him poor?Presumably, no matter how rich Li Shimin is, there should be a limit. With so many people eating, it is expected that he will not be able to eat very well.
"Eat more if you like it." Yuchi said respectfully.
Lu Zhongming finally couldn't listen anymore, and said, "Actually, I don't always think about eating..."
Yu Chigong nodded with a serious face, and Lu Zhongming said again: "In the East Mansion, who is the most favored?"
Yu Chigong thought for a while and said, "You want to hear the truth?"
Lu Zhongming: =_=
Yuchi smiled and said: "Well, everyone was favored when they first came here."
Lu Zhongming suddenly realized, squinting his eyes and said: "I said, why are you so kind to us? If time goes by and you don't have much talent to learn, you will sit on the bench, right?"
"It's not like that." Yu Chigong said: "Shimin is very busy every day, even if he hits it off, he doesn't have time to hang out with him all day long. Only those who hit it off and have skills will be favored by him."
"But there are not many capable people." Yu Chigong explained, and then took food for Lu Zhongming, saying: "You and General Qin, General Luo are already very rare, and people like Changsun Wuji who have been with the world since childhood If you know each other, it's no problem."
"What about you?" Lu Zhongming asked again.
"I..." Yu Chigong thought for a while and said, "It's okay, he treated me very well."
Lu Zhongming said: "Why do you like him?"
Yuchi Gong said: "I don't like him, don't always put a label on me, I just think he looks like..."
Having said this, Yu Chigong immediately stopped talking, but Lu Zhongming heard it and asked, "Who do you look like?"
Yu Chigong: "His opponents are very good. Even if the opponents are not capable, he will treat them with courtesy and sincerity. Moreover, he is very short of capable manpower right now."
Lu Zhongming: "Like who?"
Yu Chigong: "Well, I didn't lie to you about my life experience. I did come to Yanmen after the death of my parents, but I met Yang Guang's personal conquest at the Yanmen Pass, and fought with the Turks... The people of the world... He saved me in that scuffle, and let me join the army regardless of my origin..."
Lu Zhongming: "Oh... so that's the case, then who does he look like?"
Yuchi Gong: "..."
Lu Zhongming: "So you have been following him."
Yuchi Gong: "Like you."
Lu Zhongming: "???"
"Like me?" Lu Zhongming said inexplicably: "The order is reversed, didn't you know him first, and then you know me?"
Yu Chigong smiled and said nothing, Lu Zhongming looked at Yu Chigong suspiciously, at this moment, Li Shimin came.
"Every time I ask this question, whether it's someone coming or an accident, I will always be interrupted by all kinds of weird reasons!" Lu Zhongming quit, saying: "I don't care! Today I must finish asking and ask clearly !"
Li Shimin: "???"
Yuchi Gong: "..."
Li Shimin: "What's wrong? Did you two quarrel?"
Lu Zhongming stretched his sleeves, stopped Li Shimin, and said, "Sit down first, I'm curious." Then he took an iron spoon, and said to Yu Chigong, "Did we know each other before?"
Yu Chigong immediately said innocently: "Didn't I tell you? I don't know."
Yu Chigong was wearing a sleeveless military uniform, showing his ribs under his arms. Lu Zhongming put the cold spoon on the muscles under Yu Chigong's arms.
"Ah—" Yuchi Gong suddenly screamed.
Lu Zhongming was expressionless: "Are you recruiting or not?"
"Recruit!" Yuchi Gong immediately said, "I've recruited them all!"
Lu Zhongming said: "It's good if you recruit it." After speaking, he put the spoon on it again, and Yu Chigong let out another scream.
"I really don't know!" Yuchi Gong said: "I don't know! Don't do it! Strong man! Please!"
Li Shimin: "..."
Lu Zhongming said: "Then how do you say that Brother Shimin looks like me?"
"Oh?" Li Shimin said with a smile: "It turns out that Jingde treated me so well, but just regarded me as Xiao Zhongming?"
Lu Zhongming: "..."
Yu Chigong's face turned red immediately, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in, and said, "I just think, Zhongming, you... are very familiar, as if you have seen... in a dream, and that's the reason."
Said that Bi Yuchigong got up in a panic and ran out, Lu Zhongming was still in astonishment, Yuchigong had already run out of the second door, and stumbled on the wooden sill, Li Shimin laughed loudly, Yuchigong had already run away and disappeared.
There was an unspeakable embarrassment at the dinner table, but in the end Li Shimin broke the tranquility and said with a smile, "Zhong Ming."
"I knew Jingde two years ago." Li Shimin said, "After I brought him back home, I saw that he was getting old. My father was grateful for his life-saving grace and wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but he refused. gone."
Lu Zhongming was preoccupied, held his job bowl, hummed, and Li Shimin said: "Jingde told me that since he was a child, he often had similar dreams, and in his dreams, there would always be a person." Li Shimin said: "He guards for me." Daixian, when monitoring Turks, sent me a letter, saying, that person finally appeared, he waited for more than twenty years, he finally got you, let me come and see you."
Lu Zhongming couldn't help laughing immediately, and said: "From childhood to adulthood, I always dreamed of a person? This is too..."
Suddenly, Lu Zhongming thought of another guy who loves to sleep and often dreams - Taishang Laojun.
"Damn, this is—!" Lu Zhongming threw the bowl and roared: "Can you be more unreliable?! Qin Qiong is fine, old gentleman, you're saying hello to Yu Chigong like this, you are playing me to death !"
Li Shimin: "..."
"It's nothing." Lu Zhongming regained his facial paralysis in an instant, and said sincerely, "Brother Shimin, let's talk about serious business."
Li Shimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I haven't finished my words yet, this man Jingde..."
Lu Zhongming: "No, no, let's discuss serious matters..."
Li Shimin: "No, let me finish first. Jingde likes you very much. He said that the day he saw you at Yanmen Pass, he knew you were here. Although it was different from you when he was a child, he knew that It's you. He said, you are not a mortal, your appearance must be accompanied by some major events, sent by the immortal to support the world, he will believe in you, want to accompany you, and take care of you, so I also... believe in you."
Li Shimin looked into Lu Zhongming's eyes seriously, and said: "Jingde is like my elder brother. He is reliable, calm, and able to accomplish great things. He is also very brave and witty. He rescued me from thousands of troops. I Seriously, you might as well think about it."
"Kao Kao Kao... what are you thinking about?" Lu Zhongming asked blankly.
"Consider and Jingde brother..." Li Shimin couldn't continue, and said frantically, "Don't pretend to be stupid! You usually pretend to be an expert when you talk!"
Lu Zhongming said: "Did you finally find out? Everyone who knows me well knows that I am a fool."
Li Shimin: "..."
Li Shimin really lost to him, and Lu Zhongming said again: "Isn't it good to be two? You are also very good at two."
"I'm not two!" Li Shimin shouted sadly.
"Okay." Lu Zhongming said: "You are not bad at all, okay, come on, let's talk about serious business. How to fix it next?"
Li Shimin was finally taken away from the topic by Lu Zhongming, and he said seriously: "I got the letter, but it hasn't been forged yet. There are many people in the house who don't dare to mess around, so I have to take it out and find a way..."
Lu Zhongming said: "You have raised hundreds of people in the East Mansion, why can't you find even one who knows how to cheat, and you still say the same."
Li Shimin said frantically: "Isn't it because I haven't met the right one! I want to buy a bone with a thousand dollars!"
Lu Zhongming comforted again: "Okay, okay...the spies in the house, have you found out who it is?"
Li Shimin was silent, shook his head, and said, "I guess it's probably a woman."
Lu Zhongming said: "Sit down, keep an eye on, and see who goes out of the palace frequently, travels between the palace and Jinyang Palace, and even the government."
"Someone has been sent to monitor." Li Shimin said: "Even the deputy left guard doesn't know who the spy is, which shows that he is a careful person. Such a person must be prepared, and will not show his feet so easily."
The two analyzed for a while, and learned from the letter that the spy would travel between the palace and the market every month to pass on news. Today is the third day of February. will know.
After discussing for a long time, Li Shimin went back, and Lu Zhongming said again: "You have been here too often these few days."
"I know." Li Shimin nodded and said, "Brother has gone to Daxing to do some errands, so it's okay to walk around occasionally. Let's go."
After speaking, Li Shimin said goodbye, and when he went out, he saw Yu Chigong standing outside the door, looking distraught, couldn't help smiling, seeing Li Shimin leaving, Yuchigong went in awkwardly.
"Eat... are you full?" Yu Chigong asked boldly.
"I'm full..." Lu Zhongming answered bravely.
The two remained silent in embarrassment, Lu Zhongming said: "You... eat, I'll go up and rest first."
After that, as soon as Lv Zhongming received the letter, he went upstairs like flying, and never came down again.
How is this going!Lu Zhongming was sitting in front of the desk with a frantic expression on his face, touching this and touching that. Mingming's father said, isn't it like this when you are in love? !I still remember Lu Zhongming once asked his father what love is, and Lu Bu replied that he just wanted to protect him and be with him for the rest of his life, no more.
Lu Zhongming already knew that Yu Chigong was interested in him, and Luo Shixin used it to laugh at him more than once, but what should he do next?Lu Zhongming couldn't think of what to do at all.He always felt that although he liked Yu Chigong quite a lot, it was far from the point where he wanted to be with him forever.
"Want to have supper?" Yu Chigong asked downstairs.
Lu Zhongming bounced up as if he had been shocked.
"Angry?" Yu Chigong asked again.
Lu Zhongming: "No...no, I'm asleep."
Yuchi Gong said: "I ran outside for a whole day today, so go to bed early."
Lu Zhongming hummed, sat for a while, couldn't help but went to the stairs again, stuck his head into the slit of the stairs, looked down, saw Yu Chigong sitting alone eating, Lu Zhongming just glanced at him, Yu Chigong Then he put down his chopsticks, seemed to feel it, and turned around and said, "Zhong Ming?"
Lu Zhongming immediately retracted his head, but unexpectedly, his head was caught by the slit in the stairs.
Lu Zhongming: "..."
Yuchi Gong: "..."
Yu Chigong came up in a hurry, Lu Zhongming exerted all his strength to pull his head out from the gap between the wooden boards, Yu Chigong's whole body was trembling, obviously it was very hard to hold back a smile.After finally helping Lu Zhongming pull out his head, Yu Chi respectfully said, "Call me if you need anything, and I'll sleep underneath."
"Ok!"
Lu Zhongming fled back to the bedroom on the second floor in an instant.
That night, Lu Zhongming tossed and turned on the bed, his ears were burning hot, and he didn't know if it was because of being caught by the stair board or something else.
I feel that when I came to Chutang this time, not only my career was far from what I imagined, but even my love affair was completely running away. Lu Zhongming really thought about whether one day, he would also start a family. A person you like together may be a nine-tailed fox, or a white dragon or a green dragon...
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being with people. Humans are the spirit of all things. When my father became a fairy, he was also a human being. Everyone talks in the appearance of a human being on Jinao Island. Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and are the most spiritual in the world biology.It's just that it's a bit far from the assumption made by Lu Zhongming before.
In fact, he likes dragons the most, with gleaming scales and majestic eyes, white tigers are also good, very safe and fluffy, Suzaku is a bit sissy, I don't like it... But dad also said, you like it, I don't necessarily like you, as long as everyone likes each other, gender is not a problem, species is not related.
Lu Zhongming began to think wildly, if Yu Chigong was a black dragon, then he would definitely shoot the stars with his eyes, drooling and posting them upside down, no, this is not because of the species.If you like it, you like anything, and if you don't like it, even the dragon doesn't like it.
That night, the weather had warmed up slightly. In Lu Zhongming's imagination, Yu Chigong had transformed into a black dragon, high-end and elegant, low-key luxury and connotation. Thinking about it this way, it seemed pretty good.
The next day, when Lu Zhongming had breakfast, he found that Yu Chigong seemed a little sleepless, and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
Yuchi said respectfully, "Sleep well."
Lu Zhongming was funny, he didn't sleep well if he didn't sleep well, last night you were busy in my mind all night, of course you didn't sleep well.
Yu Chigong asked again: "What are you doing today?"
Lu Zhongming said: "The thing you're waiting for hasn't arrived yet, let's go for a walk first."
He said he was going for a walk, but after he went out, Lu Zhongming went straight to the barracks, took advantage of Yu Chigong's absence, pulled Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, and told what happened last night.
"Don't talk about those things, do you have a crush on him?" Luo Shixin asked.
"Ah?" Lu Zhongming said, "It's... okay."
The two fell.
Qin Qiong said: "Speak clearly, do you like him? It depends on you. Ask me what to do?"
Luo Shixin was full of suspicion and asked, "Aren't you a fairy? Can a fairy be with a mortal?"
Lu Zhongming said: "It doesn't matter, it's just..."
Qin Qiong asked: "What is the person you like like?"
Lu Zhongming said: "I like dragons, in fact, it would be nice if he was a black dragon."
Luo Shixin: "???"
Qin Qiong: "?"
Luo Shidao: "Black dragon? That kid might be a black dragon..."
Qin Qiong: "..."
Lu Zhongming: "?"
"Think about it for yourself, aren't you very smart?" Luo Shi said, "I think you like him quite a lot. Why do you like him?"
Qin Qiong said: "That's right, I'm going to train."
Lu Zhongming had no choice but to leave again, Yu Chigong waited outside, standing in the spring sunshine, changed into the simple lining armor worn by guards today, looking very handsome from a distance.
"Go to the bookstore to have a look." Lu Zhongming took the initiative.
Yu Chigong nodded and led the way ahead, Lu Zhongming decided not to think about it yet.When the two arrived outside the bookstore, Lu Zhongming flipped through the book casually, glanced at the words, and suddenly his heart was shocked.The words written in the book and the handwriting in the letter are obviously written by the same person, although the font has been changed, they can still be recognized vaguely.
"It's a pretty word." Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, who wrote it?"
"Daxing Yanfang Study——" the shopkeeper dusted his head behind the counter without raising his head, and said, "The small shop is a semicolon, didn't you see the signboard? The books here are all transcribed and shipped from the other end."
"Really?" Lu Zhongming took another copy and found that although the two fonts were the same, they were not written by the same person. The shopkeeper suddenly remembered something and said, "The "Nineteen Ancient Poems" in your hand should be Miss Zhang copied it."
Lu Zhongming asked again: "What's Miss Zhang's name?"
The shopkeeper said: "Hey, you apprentice, how can you just inquire about other people's names? There is only this one left, so buy it as soon as possible."
When Yu Chigong heard this, his face changed instantly, and he narrowed his eyes. Before Lu Zhongming noticed it, he asked himself: "Why did she transcribe the book to sell?"
The shopkeeper replied casually: "Living is forced, do you think that everyone is like you, wearing a sword in the street, and getting money just by doing nothing?"
Yuchi Gong whispered: "Don't ask, I know who she is."
Said that Bi Yuchigong went to pay the bill, took the nineteen ancient poems, and came out with Lu Zhongming. Lu Zhongming was puzzled and asked, "Do you know who it is?"
In an instant, Lu Zhongming realized something was wrong. Since Yu Chigong knew him, that is to say, it was his friend in Tang Palace, his friend...
Sure enough, Yu Chigong had a complicated expression and said, "We asked too many questions. It's easy to arouse the other party's alert."
"It might as well, tell me who it is first." Lu Zhongming said.
Yu Chigong was silent, Lu Zhongming said: "Say it, I promise not to say it."
Yu Chigong looked at Lu Zhongming and said, "It's Li Jing's wife. I remember that when he passed Yanmen Pass, he took her wife with him and sent him away from Dai County. He came to your stall and had a fortune-telling."
Lu Zhongming: "!!!"
Yu Chigong said as he walked, and it was only then that Lu Zhongming realized that Yu Chigong and Li Jing did not know each other long ago, but recognized each other in the iron shop. Yu Chigong, who came out from Hengli and rescued Li Shimin, was very impressed.
What Li Jing told him was the same as what he told Lv Zhongming - he was convicted in Daxing, fled to the west, and went to Bingzhou to join Li Yuan, thinking that Li Yuan was the lord of the Ming Dynasty.And Zhang Chuchen, known as the Red Fu Girl, followed Li Jing all the way.
Lu Zhongming frowned deeply: "This is troublesome, I didn't expect to check it again and again, and I would find my own head..."
"One of my own?" Yu Chigong heard something, and Lu Zhongming immediately waved his hand, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.
"What do you think?" Lu Zhongming said.
Yuchi Gong said: "I'm going to persuade brother Li Jing."
"No!" Lu Zhongming changed his expression and said, "Are you kidding me? He can put on a show all the way and sneak into Jinyang. He can't be persuaded without your persuasion. Think about it, Li Shimin asked you to go to Dai County as an undercover agent. Someone Tell you to give up and go to Turkic, will you listen?"
Yu Chi respectfully said: "But you can't let the prince know about this!"
"I can't hold back!" Lu Zhongming said: "Shimin already knew that there were spies in the mansion. We found half of the investigation and even got the letter. Now it is suddenly broken without a sound. Do you think this is possible?"
Yuchi Gong said: "Li Jing is full of talent and learning, he is a person who can do great things, if you go to inform..."
"What an informer!" Lu Zhongming said, "What kind of word is that!"
Yuchi Gong immediately said: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
Lu Zhongming left angrily, and Yu Chigong followed behind him, apologizing and bowing like a bear, Lu Zhongming felt it was funny again and couldn't hold back anymore.
"What do you want to say?" Lu Zhongming said.
"Chen Heng's pros and cons." Yuchi said respectfully: "I know the pros and cons, let him confess to Shimin himself."
Lu Zhongming shook his head and said, "He won't be someone who just gives up when he says he will."
Yuchi Gong said: "Promise me, don't expose this matter first, I will slowly find a way."
Lu Zhongming didn't intend to betray Li Jing at first, he just wanted to solve it in another way, but seeing Yu Chigong so nervous about Li Jing, he felt a little sour.
"What's wrong with him?" Lu Zhongming said.
"Friend." Yuchi Gong said, "This is my principle."
Lu Zhongming: "No, I'm going to 'inform', you either kill me, or I'll 'inform'."
Yuchi Gong: "You..."
Lu Zhongming looked at him with a paralyzed face.
Yuchi Gong said: "Forget it, I'd better stab it, you don't need to tell me, I'll go to Shimin."
Lu Zhongming: "What about your principles?"
Yuchi Gong smiled and said: "When you conflicted with the principle, of course you were chosen. Did you still kill you?"
Lu Zhongming suspected that he was played by Yu Chigong again, maybe he knew that he would not tell Li Shimin.However, at this moment, the onlookers on the street all looked concerned and talked a lot. Both of them realized that Lu Zhongming was embarrassed, and Yu Chigong immediately grabbed him by the shoulders, pretending to be good brothers, and fled away like flying.
In the afternoon, on the Wangfu school grounds, a round of warm spring sun, Tiance cavalry lined up and practiced marksmanship on the school grounds.
Li Jing was wearing a big coat, walking with his hands behind his back in the phalanx, the corners of his lips were as sharp as a knife's edge, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his face was indifferent. When he was staring at the soldiers under his command, he suddenly noticed the corners of the mouths of two people in the distance. He picked it up slightly.
"General Yuchi."
"General Li." Yu Chigong stood outside Tiance's military formation, cupped his fists at Li Jinglue, and said in a deep voice, "A little friend came to see you."
With his hands behind his back, Lu Zhongming smiled and walked out from behind Yu Chigong, saying, "General Li, you have made me suffer so much by deceiving me."
"Daoist Lu." Although Li Jing didn't look happy or angry, his eyes were filled with joy, and he asked, "How does the wine taste like?"
"Good wine." Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "Yuchi made plum wine for me to drink, where did you get it?"
"A reward from the King of Tang." Li Jing replied: "If you want to drink again, you can only wait for the next time. General Yuchi may be able to drink it often."
Yu Chigong smiled helplessly, and said: "The mission was missed, now I'm just a bodyguard, I don't dare to be called a general anymore."
Li Jing said again: "A few days ago, I heard that the Taoist chief came to Jinyang, but he was so busy with military affairs that he had no time to see him."
"Not busy." Lu Zhongming said with a smile: "Let's have a drink together when you have time."
The three of them walked along the side of the school grounds, Yu Chi respectfully said: "Brother Li Jing, now Tiance Army is entrusted to you?"
"Jing He De what can?" Li Jing said: "It's just that the son is out on business, so I will temporarily take charge. Learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses, and practice the skill of fighting immediately."
Lu Zhongming glanced at the Tiance Army phalanx, and saw that the army was indeed well-disciplined. He expected Li Shimin's generals, everyone wanted to lead this army, but their talents were limited. It seemed that Li Jing was doing well.
Yuchi Gong said: "When will you come to practice and play a game?"
Li Jingdao: "That's exactly what I mean. I said earlier that I would ask General Yuchi for advice. It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day?"
Yuchi Gong smiled, and Li Jing and Li Jing exchanged fists, each went to get their weapons.
Previously, Lu Zhongming just agreed with Yu Chigong to chat with Li Jing, but he didn't expect that Yu Chigong would fight with Li Jing!Why didn't this guy follow the script? ? ? !
The spring day was fine, according to the two people in the field, Yu Chigong brought a horse-slaying epee, and Li Jing brought a painting halberd.Lu Zhongming was dumbfounded for a moment, are these two guys hidden masters?Immediately he understood that Yu Chigong wanted him to watch, not to watch himself, but to watch Li Jing's kung fu.
Let him see Li Jing's ability clearly, so that he knows that Li Jing is a rare talent.
"Yuchi Gong!" Lu Zhongming immediately said, "You're welcome."
Yu Chigong was caught by Lu Zhongming's eyes, he couldn't laugh or cry, nodded, clasped his fists and said: "Obey! Never hold back!"
All of a sudden Tiance's army rushed to watch Li Jing and Yu Chigong's discussion, just at this time, Li Shimin had just finished his discussion and came out from the side hall outside the martial arts arena. Seeing the posture of the two, he knew what happened. Also said from a distance: "Yu Chigong, don't lose my face!"
