Lu Linzhi didn't say much. He just whispered a few words to the general, then walked back to Fu Guiyun and Lu Linchu calmly as usual.

Watching the general leave in a hurry, Fu Guiyun asked him curiously, "What idea did Prince Zhong have?"

Lu Linzhi smiled faintly, as if to hide something. "Princess, wait and see a good show before we set off again."

He was so mysterious that Lu Linchu sighed speechlessly.

This guy Lao Si loves to be mysterious all day long. It is obvious that this difficult matter can be solved very easily, but he insists on showing off his cleverness. I wonder what stupid way he can think of to find the spy.

Soon, fresh hot porridge was delivered to various porridge stalls. As soon as the porridge was opened, refugees from all directions rushed over to eat it.

Those running in the front were all young men, all of them strong and powerful. They pushed those skinny ones to the ground and quickly seized the opportunity to get the porridge.

Just as they were complacently preparing to take the porridge, Lu Linzhi suddenly walked forward, scooped up a handful of dirty soil from the ground, and with a provocative look in his eyes, he poured it all into the pot.

The refugees were stunned. The strong man at the head of the line shouted, "What do you want to do? You don't want us to enter the city. Are you going to starve us to death?"

Lu Linzhi did not answer, but just winked at the soldiers guarding the porridge stalls. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers in each porridge stall scooped up handfuls of soil from their feet and sprinkled them into the pot.

The refugees who were gathered at the front of the porridge shed were all furious and shouted, "What on earth do you want to do, you rotten-hearted people?"

Then, the leader began to make a fuss: "You all saw it, this is how the King of Daning treats guests. They clearly don't want to take us in, and they are deliberately doing this to disgust everyone."

Lu Linzhi was not worried about anyone joining in the trouble. Instead, he echoed, "Yes, this is how we in Daning treat our guests. We have done our utmost to take you in. Why are you still being picky?"

As he said this, he glared at the leader with a half-smile: "If you are willing to make do with this porridge today, then use some. After today, there will be no more porridge stalls providing relief, so you can go wherever you want."

Hearing this, the refugees who were dying of hunger got up from the ground one after another, ran desperately to the porridge shed, and cried and begged: "Sir, I don't mind the dirtiness of the food, please give me more."

"Spineless thing."

The big man who was leading the group snorted disdainfully and led all those strong men to retreat to the back.

In this way, the refugees who had not been able to squeeze forward before finally got their turn in line. They were still drooling at the sight of the hot porridge that was so close to them but already covered with dust.

When they looked at Lu Lin again, there was no jealousy in their eyes, but instead they were filled with gratitude.

Lu Linzhi and the soldiers who were defending the positions watched everything that happened. When all the strong men retreated to sit under the big trees in the distance to enjoy the cool, he suddenly gave an order: "Surround those people and don't let any of them escape."

Suddenly, soldiers poured out from all directions and quickly separated the refugees who were getting porridge from the strong men who were enjoying the cool air.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Lu Linzhi strode forward and warned in a cold voice: "If you don't resist, you will be slaughtered."

"What do you mean?"

The leader stood up with full of vigilance: "Could it be that you, the Lu family army, still want to slaughter the unarmed and hungry refugees?"

"Do you believe this?"

Lu Linzhi directly drew out the sword of the general next to him and pointed it at the man: "Look at your broad body and fat waist. I'm afraid you can't hide your identity even if you starve for a year or two. How can you pretend to be a refugee?"

He didn't bother to talk any more, and immediately ordered: "Kill without mercy."

Seeing that the Lu family army had drawn their swords, the surrounded strong men quickly pulled out the soft knives rolled up at their waists and began to resist hard.

Lu Linchu was dumbfounded, shaking his head and sighing: "Old Fourth, this guy is really..."

For a moment, they didn't know how to evaluate him anymore, so they had to call the soldiers in the city to rush over to help.

Even though this group of spies came prepared and were quite powerful, with a team of nearly a thousand people, they were no match for the siege of the Lu family's army and were quickly wiped out.

When the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, they actually found a lot of dry food and meat patties from the men they had surrounded and annihilated.

Fu Guiyun looked around again and saw that the hungry refugees had been rescued and had their stomachs filled. After regaining their strength, they knelt down towards Lu Linzhi and said, "Thank you for saving me, sir."

"I just used this extraordinary measure to lure out the spy, and everyone else has been wronged."

Lu Linzhi stood beside Lu Linchu and Fu Guiyun and said softly, "The prince and princess consort of Jiangzuo are here today. You can enter the city without worry. There are still porridge stalls along the way. The government will definitely help you live and work in peace."

Hearing this, Lu Linchu took the opportunity to take over the conversation: "That's right, I, Daning, will never let the people down, and will never let you suffer."

After the refugees kowtowed and expressed their gratitude, the city gates were opened and they could finally enter the city safely after being stranded outside the city for many days.

Fu Guiyun, Lu Linzhi and Lu Linchu continued walking towards the river.

Thinking about Lu Linzhi's quick response today, Fu Guiyun really admired him from the bottom of his heart and couldn't help asking, "How did His Royal Highness Prince Zhong come up with this method to screen out the spies?"

"That's a simple matter."

Seeing her eager look, Lu Linzhi quickly explained: "If they were really hungry refugees, they would eat even leaves and bark, so why would they care about the porridge mixed with mud? Only these spies came prepared and seized the porridge every day. They are not worried about starving, so naturally they will not care about this life-saving food."

"I see."

Fu Guiyun's mind suddenly became clear. He was truly a genius.

Seeing that the Crown Prince's wife only had the Fourth Brother in her mind and eyes, Lu Linchu felt particularly uncomfortable.

Secretly observing the fourth brother, he always felt that he had ill intentions towards the Crown Prince's Consort, and he was afraid that those rumors were not groundless.

Song Weizhao alone is already a headache, and if the fourth brother develops unfaithful thoughts, there will be endless troubles.

It seems like I have to find a suitable opportunity to give him a good beating.

After sending the group to the boat by the river, Lu Linchu reluctantly held Fu Guiyun's hands and said softly, "Guiyun, you must be careful. My Lu family soldiers are waiting for orders along the way. If you find anything wrong, turn back immediately."

Fu Guiyun looked at the sails hoisted on the other side of the river and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord. It's right under our noses, so nothing will go wrong."

Lu Linchu also glanced at the navy on the river who were on high alert, and nodded with relief.

When his gaze turned to Lu Lin, there was an indescribable look in his eyes, like disgust and vigilance.

"Fourth Brother, I'm entrusting your brother and sister-in-law to you."

He deliberately emphasized the words "brother and sister-in-law" and stared at him with a fake smile: "I must make sure that your brother and sister-in-law are safe."

Lu Linzhi looked calm. He just clasped his fists and bowed, then was the first to board the boat.

"This guy."

Lu Linchu was slightly angry, but he didn't want to quarrel with him in front of the Crown Prince's wife, so he could only watch Fu Guiyun board the ship with a fake smile on his face.
