Chapter 5 Prince Lu Yu

It was night, and the silver-gray light squeezed into the room along the crack of the door, and shone on the floor tiles, reflecting each other, and the night moon hung high and lonely.

After Fu Chengci came back, he had a gloomy face, and a few strands of wet and loose hair stuck tightly to his ribs, looking very cold. He went straight up to the second floor, and when he passed by Lu Yong, Lu Qi seemed to be Smelling the smell of the same kind, lonely and wandering.

He asked the kitchen for a bowl of ginger soup and presented it.

There was a 'squeak' sound when the steps fell on the wooden stairs, which was especially harsh in the quiet night.

The gold-plated invitation card in his arms was branded hot. After Lu Qi took a deep breath, he knocked on the door and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord is me."

The door was opened soon, and Fu Chengci's black hair was loose, and he had not changed his clothes yet. Under the warm yellow light, Fu Chengci's cold face was softened a bit. son of the family.

His eyes fell on the tray in Lu Qi's hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned sideways to let someone into the room.

After placing the ginger soup on the round table, Lu Yong took out the invitation card in his arms and handed it to Fu to resign.

Fu Chengci took it, and wrote a big word "Ji" on the face. Fu Chengci took a deep look at Lu Yong, and opened the invitation only after seeing that the other party didn't respond.

This invitation post clearly stated the reason for the invitation from the Ji family, which was exactly the same as what the servants of the Ji family said with Lu Yong. It also stated that the Ji family held the dinner in the Ji family. Begging, after all, it is safer to stay in one's own territory.

Fu Chengci didn't care that there was another Lu Yong in the room, his eyes were full of jokes, and he said with a smile: "It's true that the rise and fall of only three generations, I think the son born to an old general who is a tough old man, Mr. They are ignorant of the way of life."

Lu Yong turned his head back to hear him taunting a person like this, and blinked his eyes a little curiously. Seeing that he wanted to hear, Fu Chengci went on to say: "I went to Kanto this time to avoid suspicion and stayed in an inn, just to avoid your majesty's suspicion. After all, the close relationship between Yuanguan and Yuanguan violated the taboo of the current emperor. Jiqiao and I are both military generals, each defending one side, but he dared to openly invite me into the mansion to reminisce about the old days. I don’t know if he really doesn’t care. There are still other plans. If the words of unintentional humanity, the general who leads the army cherish the past and the past, if it is passed into the emperor's ears, it will plant a thorn in your majesty's heart."

"Do you know who is the one who can really talk in Kanto?" Fu Chengci asked Lu Qi a question.

Lu Qi didn't understand Guandong, so he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Song Shuyuan?"

Fu Chengci sneered: "You cherish the past with that idiot."

Lu Qi: "..."

"The Song family has been entrenched in the court and has been standing for many years. Song Shuyuan is regarded as a side branch of the Song family, and somehow he was forced to come to the Kanto. The Kanto is the deepest barrier between Da Chu and Da Zhou. If Da Zhou breaks through the Kanto Seven important fortresses, so directly at the feet of the emperor, is just a matter of Zhou's national strength. In the final analysis, no matter how ambitious the ambition is, it also depends on whether the stomach can be stuffed."

"Ji Qiao is the leader of the Kwantung Army. He used the gold-plated seal as an invitation card, which is a courtesy to the guests. I am not familiar with Ji Qiao at all. Apart from meeting a few times at the palace banquet, there is no diplomatic gathering. , he is a bit deliberate in so many."

It was not easy to hear Fu Chengci say so many things in one breath. Finally, Lu timidly asked: "Then, will you go to Jifu this time..."

"Go!" Fu Chengci took a deep breath and said to Lu Yong: "You send someone to find Song Shuyuan tomorrow, and then ask him to bring some fame from the East to accompany you to Jifu."

Old General Ji, whose real name is Ji Honghe, was named the General of the Far East when he was young. He has made great achievements on the battlefield throughout his life and achieved countless achievements.

He has only one pair of sons and daughters in his life, and the daughter is the biological mother of the current crown prince, the successor of Emperor Chengde.The son is Ji Qiao, the general Ji who is now guarding the Kanto.

The next night, the two came to Jifu.

It is said that after the First World War in Kanto, the Ji mansion was also severely damaged. After the funeral of Mr. Ji, Ji Qiao renovated the mansion again.

The two walked in the corridor, and there was a bluestone column standing every ten steps. The half-draped curtain swayed slightly. Each column was engraved with exquisite reliefs, which were vivid. Passing by the yard, the rockery in the distance is dotted with stars, but they complement each other. It looks good.

The huge mansions all reveal the word luxury.

Ji Qiao waited in front of the hall, and saw the visitor walking briskly to greet him. He wore a dark robe with wide sleeves fluttering in the wind. As soon as he entered the inner room, there was a burst of extravagant fragrance. Fu Chengci looked around the room, There are luminous pearls on the four corners of the conservatory for lighting, and incense burners are lit on every low table, from which the curling cigarettes come out.

"It smells so good." Fu Chengci commented.

Ji Qiao smiled and explained to them: "My wife's family is engaged in the spice business, and I also like to play with these things on weekdays. I really can't be listed in the elegant hall. It made the prince laugh."

During the conversation between the two, Song Shuyuan and several local famers came late. Song Shuyuan, the leader, thought he was playing a folding fan flirtatiously, but he didn't know that it was a bit out of place for him to do so in the freezing cold outside.

Song Shuyuan saw Lu Yong behind Fu Chengci at a glance, covered his face with a fan, and softly said to the subordinates beside him: "Have you seen that beauty is not skinny, look at the beauty behind the prince, the curve of the waist, If you can take off the mask and see people with their true face, and mingle with them while being pressed on the bed, you will be ecstasy!"

Men: "..."

Ji Qiaoyue's family is a merchant in the Kanto region. It is said that the dowry is very rich, and even Ji's family has a lot of background because of this. Even the singers and dancers invited to the banquet are not vulgar. All men.

Ji Qiao was very happy watching, even when he was talking, he was full of smiles, and he resigned to Fu: "Most Kanto women are delicate and soft, this kind of dance music must be performed by men to make it look good."

After finishing speaking, his eyes met Song Shuyuan's, and there was a lot of meaning in his eyes, and they both knew each other very well.

Lu Yong saw everything under his nose and was a little surprised.

In the middle of the banquet, everyone enjoyed themselves happily, tacitly silent among each other, as if this dinner was purely for Fu Cheng's resignation, singing and dancing to add to the fun.

The servant walked to Ji Qiao's side, bent down and whispered something in the other's ear.

Ji Qiao waved his hand to signal the man to go down.

Afterwards, he got up and said to the crowd: "His Royal Highness has arrived at the Shili Pavilion outside the city, why don't you go with me to pick him up."

Everyone stood up quickly and agreed in unison.

Fu Chengci was a little unbelievable, and his straight body swayed.

Lu Qi quickly stepped forward to hold his arm, and looked at him worriedly, thinking that he was suddenly unwell, "Why don't we go back first, and I'll ask the doctor to take a look for you, and when you recover, we will go back to you." Go pay your respects, I believe the prince will not blame you."

Fu Chengci pushed away his hand, shook his head, and stood still with his back straight.

Song Shuyuan's cold sweat flowed down his hair. He is the governor of the Guandong County, and he hasn't made arrangements for the prince to arrive at the city gate soon. This is simply his dereliction of duty.

Song Shuyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead frequently, and felt like crying.

Ji Qiao walked out of the desk first, walked up to Fu Chengci, made a gesture of 'please', and said: "I heard that the king of Jiangbei has been at the Shili Pavilion outside the city for the past few days, and the prince is also taking a rest at the Shili Pavilion now. Say this is a kind of fate between the two of you?"

Lu Qi understood what he said. At first, he was curious about what Fu Chengci was doing when he went out early and returned home late. Now, what he said made sense. The prince visited Kanto in private Song Shuyuan only said that the crown prince would come in a few days, but he didn't say the specific time of arrival. Then Fu Chengci went to wait in person. If the restaurant at the city gate couldn't wait for anyone, he went outside the city. .

The curvature of Lu Qi's mouth gradually disappeared.

I'm afraid that even the swaying figure just now was only caused by being too happy after hearing the news.

As for the banquet, I'm afraid it's not that the other party is not afraid, but that the other party is too sure, and wants to prove something by himself. Ji Qiao just spoke in a very relaxed tone, as if he had planned it long ago, and even faintly proud of it. One is to swear sovereignty over his sovereignty in this Jifu, and the other is to remind him that Jiqiao is not only the commander of the Kwantung Army, but also the uncle of the current crown prince. If the crown prince ascends the throne, he is well-deserved Uncle of the country.

After all, Ji Qiao is the prince's biological uncle, so it's not surprising that he would know the prince's whereabouts first.

Ji Qiao ordered a group of infantry to the gate of the city, and asked everyone to go with him.

Although some of them are nobles in the Kanto region, they may have never even been to the capital in their entire lives, let alone met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Everyone just felt happy and wished that the prince could follow him home for a walk. If the daughter in the family could get into the eyes of the prince, then she would be regarded as half a relative of the emperor in the future.

Being able to marry nobles in Kyoto is naturally more noble than the nobles in Kanto.

Fu Chengci took a look at the hungry looks of those people, and immediately felt very regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have called so many people in the way.

Along the street, there were soldiers standing guard all the way, and Ji Qiao walked in the front.

He is the prince's uncle, so he is naturally qualified to take the lead.

When a group of people arrived at the gate of the city, a group of chariots and horses drove up from afar, and the lights shone brightly, illuminating the entire road very brightly.

Wait for the carriage to reach the gate of the city.

A servant raised the curtain of the carriage for the eunuch, and immediately two more guards knelt on the ground and used them as footrests for people getting on and off the carriage.

The moon and stars are sparse, falling on the man's face, his eyebrows are picturesque, his appearance is like snow, his eyebrows and eyes sweep away everyone, with the nobleness inherent in God.

All the people waiting at the scene lowered their heads and saluted in unison.

Lu Yu's voice was very cold: "Everyone, get up, the prince is only here to worship the ancestors in the Guandong, so there is absolutely no need to perform this grand ceremony."

He walked in the direction of Jiqiao, and Jiqiao smiled even more: "It's hard for you to come to Kanto this time, uncle."

Ji Qiao smiled and embraced him: "Uncle and nephew, if you say that, you will be offended! All the upper rooms in the mansion are reserved for the prince, and your aunt has been dyed with the spice you wanted last time. The prince is satisfied."

Ji Qiao talked to him intimately, just to attract the envy of others, Lu Yu would not brush off his face, but responded with a smile.

Others wanted to have a few words with Lu Yu, but after Ji Qiao and Lu Yu finished talking, he said to everyone: "It's getting late now, His Royal Highness has been exhausted all the way, why don't you go back and rest earlier."

When Ji Qiao spoke, Lu Yu didn't answer at the side. Even if everyone wanted to talk, they didn't have the guts to commit crimes.

Song Shuyuan saw that the crown prince didn't care about him, although he was a little upset on the face, he was relieved, and he was negligent in the matter of taking over the driver.

Lu Yu suddenly called out, "A Ci, you stay here."

Fu Chengci's brows and eyes were stained with joy,

Lu Qi also paused following his voice and looked at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was two years older than him, and they didn't have much contact with each other, and now they are even more different.

He took another step back, that was the distance between a guard and his master.
