Your Highness, has he stopped today?

The master has already spoken, even if Feng Yang doesn't want to fight, he has to fight now, but he hasn't figured out how to fight to ensure that he won't be hurt, Shi Yunjing has already taken the lead, but seeing him jumping up suddenly, he waved his hand Zhao Pingsha Luoyan slashed out, Feng Yang was slightly startled, dodged in a panic, and at the same time turned around behind, his left leg swept across like a whip, sweeping up the dust, when Yun Jing jumped up, without a weapon in his hand, fighting It was the internal force, and the chaotic and sharp air current tore apart in an instant, causing all the surrounding vegetation to suffer.

Lu Zheyu stood far away and watched the battle quietly. Compared with his internal strength, Feng Yang's martial arts was already one of the best in the Dingyuan army, and he was six years older than Yunjing.And Shi Yunjing was not good at close combat at all, he didn't have a weapon in his hand, and he was young, so he could tell the winner in less than thirty moves.

Unexpectedly, after more than twenty moves, Shi Yunjing swung a palm, Feng Yang could have easily dodged it, but he pretended to attack, pretending to show his flaws and was unable to dodge, and was slapped on the chest by Shi Yunjing's chapter, Then he backed away again and again, clutching his chest and coughing continuously, frowning and saying intermittently: "Your Highness Sixth...uh...high martial arts...I feel ashamed..."

In fact, as early as the first fight, Shi Yunjing knew that he was not an opponent. He just wanted to see what level of martial arts the opponent had in order to avoid Chu Heng's guards. , I can only see that his acting skills are very good, he pretended to be injured and fell to the ground and coughed hard, but he couldn't cough up anything.

Shi Yunjing glanced at him: "You can really act, it's boring."

Feng Yang was very dedicated, pretending to stand up with difficulty, coughed twice, wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said, "His Royal Highness Six is ​​very powerful in martial arts, given time, he will surely become a master."

This compliment became a joke in Shi Yunjing's ears, and he was very angry: "You take the sword! Let's fight again!"

Lu Zheyu could only go forward to smooth things over: "It's all right to click as far as it goes, are you still going to finish?"

Seeing that Lu Zheyu didn't even speak for her, Shi Yunjing snorted vigorously, stomped her feet and ran away in anger.

Lu Zheyu hurriedly said, "Where are you going?"

"I want to go back to Xingcheng!" Shi Yunjing didn't turn his head.

Lu Zheyu shook his head helplessly, and was about to find a servant to follow, when Chu Heng, who had been in the dark, walked out quickly, Lu Zheyu ordered: "You follow him, don't let him run around, you have to go around the city Follow him around."

"Yes." Chu Heng cupped his hands, turned and left.

Seeing this, Feng Yang rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Master, you are so powerful, the guards of this little highness have all become your master's people."

"Chu Heng is a member of the Xiao family, and he only obeys Princess Suning's orders." Lu Zheyu said lightly.

When mentioning Princess Su Ning, Feng Yang's eyes flickered slightly: "Young Master, we brought this little Highness back to the Chen Kingdom like this, so what about his sister? She is a woman who has no one to rely on in the palace... ..."

"No matter what you say, Shi Yunyao is still the first princess, and she has the Xiao family as her backer. Besides, she is not a threat to the throne like Shi Yunjing, and Emperor Cheng'an will not do anything to her. Otherwise, if he does anything to the first princess, it will definitely cause trouble for the clan. The royal family is dissatisfied."

"Oh..." Feng Yang nodded. "Young master is right."

Lu Zheyu glanced at him, and said, "You don't understand these simple questions on weekdays, why can't you understand this matter?"

"Is there?" Feng Yang was a little guilty, and hurriedly explained, "I don't know much about harem ladies, so I just asked casually. Besides, the life and death of Princess Su Ning has nothing to do with us."

Lu Zheyu didn't speak, Feng Yang seemed to remember something, and said again: "That's not right... In the future, if the young master marries that young highness, then Princess Suning will become an in-law, but we can't ignore her life or death... "

Lu Zheyu looked sideways at him, with a slight frown between his brows, and a little solemnity in his eyes.Feng Yang was startled, and realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly collected his expression, and bowed down to make amends: "...I will eventually be convicted."

Lu Zheyu glanced at him indifferently, then changed the subject: "Just now you said you were here to deliver a message, but what's the matter?"

Feng Yang hurriedly said: "Yes. Young Master Yan and others will return to Ye City tomorrow. His Majesty once ordered you to enter the palace for an audience when you come back. The general guesses that the young masters have been in the state of Chu as hostages for more than half a year after all. Your Majesty should have some kind of reward." Then he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zheyu cautiously, "Especially my son, after all, the Dingyuan Army has made a great contribution this time."

Lu Zheyu didn't speak for a long time.After a while Fang said: "What does my father say about this?"

"Recently, the cabinet has a lot of military affairs. Lord Hou is often not in the mansion these days, so he still doesn't know about it. When he enters the palace tomorrow, the young master will still play by ear." Feng Yang said.

Lu Zheyu nodded, and said again: "Tomorrow, I don't know how long I will stay in the palace. I don't feel relieved if Shi Yunjing is alone in the mansion. You can take care of it. By the way, you can ask Steward Du to send two maids to leave the palace." Serve in the garden."

"Yes." Feng Yang agreed, thought for a while, and then said: "However, the general fought a few tricks with that little Highness, and it seems that his skills are not bad. There will never be assassins chasing him around Yecheng. There is nothing to worry about, son."

"I'm worried about what trouble he's causing, especially since my dad hasn't seen him yet."

Feng Yang was a little embarrassed: "But Lord Hou will know about this sooner or later."

Lu Zheyu nodded: "Wait until my father returns home, find a chance and tell him."

"Yes..." Feng Yang silently agreed.

Lu Zheyu suddenly remembered something, and asked casually: "You think Shi Yunjing is good at it?"

"Oh, the last general tried a few tricks, he was more than capable of responding, but lacked internal strength, but he is already considered pretty good at this age." Feng Yang said.

Lu Zheyu nodded, and explained involuntarily: "He is good at riding and shooting, but not good at melee combat. It is understandable that he lacks internal strength."

"Is the young master talking for him?" Feng Yang smiled.

Seeing that he was about to say something, Lu Zheyu didn't bother to respond: "There is nothing else, you can go."

Feng Yang shrugged and bowed his hands: "The general will retire."

The next day, when Yan Lingjun and others arrived in Yecheng, Emperor Chongde sent a mighty team to the city gate to meet them.As far as Chen Guo is concerned, these sons of aristocratic families are all meritorious ministers, so they must do their best on the surface, so as to give an account to the gentry.

After entering the palace, under the guidance of the Chief Ouchi, everyone arrived at Zichen Palace.

After saluting, Lu Zheyu raised his eyes, and sitting on the high seat was the current emperor of the Chen Kingdom, who had been on the throne for more than a year, and was just 21 years old now, and standing beside him was the eunuch Han Qing, who was the chief inspector of ceremonies.

Lu Zheyu only glanced at Han Qing's treacherous, treacherous and cunning face. It happened that he was standing beside Emperor Chongde, standing more and more steadily, while Emperor Chongde was the same age as last year. Gently, the majesty of the emperor was a little less.

On both sides of the main hall, stood Chen Guo's civil and military officials, Tai Fu Yan Shao stood at the head of the civil officials, and Dingyuan Hou Lu Chi stood at the head of the military generals.

"My lords, this trip has been hard—" Emperor Chongde sat on a high seat, trying to keep his voice as steady as possible. "Now that I have returned safely, I am very pleased. Each of you has a reward, and tomorrow my will will be sent to your house."

Lu Zheyu closed his eyes, and followed the young masters to kneel down again to thank him.

Emperor Chongde raised his voice again: "Dingyuan's army has made great achievements in this battle, and I specially named Lu Zheyu, the son of Marquis Dingyuan, as the sixth-rank general of Wujie."

Lu Zheyu was startled when he heard the words, took a step, bowed and knelt down to salute: "My minister, Lu Zheyu, thank you for your grace."

Emperor Chongde nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal him to get up.

After exchanging pleasantries, Emperor Chongde said: "The state of Chu has signed an agreement of no war for 20 years with the state of Chen, and now the world is clean and peaceful. I hope that all of you, dear ministers, will remember the past and the future, and continue to promote the prestige of our country. "

"Long live my emperor, long live—"

After the court, all the ministers filed out. Lu Zheyu found Lu Chi in the crowd, and saw Yan Shao, the chief minister of the cabinet, walking beside Lu Chi, and standing behind Yan Shao Yan Lingjun.

Lu Zheyu walked up to Lu Chi, bowed and said, "Father."

Lu Chi was dressed in a black court dress, with a crimson-coloured waist, and white silk and long tassels around his waist, and dark red blood jade on his top.The clothes are straight, and the people are also meticulous.The hair is tied with a purple gold crown, the sword eyebrows fly obliquely into the temples, the nose is as straight as a green hill.The ends of the long and narrow eyes are slightly raised, making them more sharp.

"Disrespectful." Lu Chi said in a deep voice, with a serious look on his face. "I have forgotten the etiquette since I haven't seen you for half a year. I met your teacher first."

Lu Zheyu didn't show any panic, but turned around to look at Yan Shao, and saluted: "Teacher." Finally, he looked at Yan Lingjun who was behind Yan Shao, and saluted him as a peer.

Yan Lingjun was dressed in white, and it was mid-spring, but he was still wearing fur.He described it as elegant and elegant as before, but his fair face was still slightly sick.

Yan Shao is over fifty years old, and his majestic expression is quite different from Lu Chi's. He has a beard on his lips and white hair mixed with him. Although his face is not kind, he is obviously much more talkative than Lu Chi who is a general. The farsighted and prudent expression in his eyes is something ordinary people don't have.

Yan Shao used to serve as a sacrificial wine in the Imperial College, and was promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet a few years ago. Most of the younger generation in the court had been taught by him in the Imperial College, and they respectfully called him "teacher" just like Lu Zheyu.

Seeing the former students salute to him, Yan Shao stroked his beard and smiled, and patted Lu Zheyu on the shoulder: "He has already been appointed as a major general, so don't treat him so harshly again."

Lu Chi's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "In this case, we need to be more cautious in our words and deeds."

Lu Zheyu closed his eyes and answered: "Yes."

At this moment, several ministers from the court came to congratulate him.

After all, although the ten sons who went to Chu State as hostages were rewarded, only Lu Zheyu was granted the title in the Zichen Palace. This is such an honor that no one in the court could not envy.Although it was just a superficial effort, this congratulation was still indispensable.

Lu Zheyu returned the salute to several ministers who came to congratulate him, and after everyone left, Lu Zheyu lowered his eyes and expressed his doubts.

"Father, teacher, I always feel that His Majesty's move is a bit sudden." Lu Zheyu frowned and said in a low voice. "All along, Your Majesty has never had any opinions. He has always listened to Han Qing's words. Is it possible that the sudden appointment this time is also because of Han Qing's slander?"
