The war in the north has started, and the smoke can be seen, but fortunately it is not the first time. The northern border troops did not panic because they had guessed that this time would be an unprecedented war. They had guarded the border for more than two hundred years and countless lives were at stake.

Once inside, they are no longer allowed to have problems with those little things.

Things are in order in the north, the only thing that needs to be considered is the south.

But now the Liang Dynasty was already in operation before the war in the north began. The huge empire had a reaction speed that was far superior to that of the previous dynasties. The officials, regardless of whether they were united or not, had to work hard for this matter.

move.

On the post road, the sound of horse hooves was non-stop, and post soldiers belonging to various state capitals poured into the divine capital from all directions, and then left the majestic city at high speed.

Many postmen didn't even have time to stop at the rouge shop in Shendu to bring back a piece of rouge from Shendu for their daughter-in-law who had never left their hometown in her life.

And on the official road, the government's motorcade kept stopping, and the armored soldiers had solemn faces and were always on guard.

It has been more than two hundred years. The so-called bandits in Daliang have been wiped out long ago during the Taizong period. As for the so-called bandits that have been reported from time to time since then, most of them are actually chess pieces secretly controlled by Fang Wai.

Let Daliang live in peace, but these bandits have almost disappeared after Master Wu Hao shed blood and the master of the Chaotic View was replaced by the young master.

The monsters in the country have been the number one enemy of the people of Daliang for more than two hundred years. However, in the past few years, the garrison envoys of Daliang at all levels have been dispatched everywhere, and with the help of some local cultivation sects,

Almost 60% to 70% of the monsters in the country have been wiped out.

In some states and counties, it even reaches 90%.

According to the current trend, as long as the monsters from the north do not go south, the imperial court will have at most five or six years to eliminate the monsters in the country and restore true peace to the people.

Can the demon clan in the north give Daliang this chance?

…

…

A caravan with more than fifty carriages, which had been sleeping in the open for more than a month, finally arrived outside the gate of Shendu City. However, they did not rush into the city. Instead, they drove the carriage away from the official road and waited in the open space on one side.

.

A middle-aged man walked out of the carriage headed by him. He glanced at the long queue at the city gate, then turned to look at the carriage behind him and said, "Qing Ling, I guess we can't enter the city until dark."

A woman also happened to walk out of the carriage. It was Lu Qingling, a descendant of the Lu family who had worked side by side with Chen Chao in Longjiao County, Huanglong Prefecture a few days ago.

As for this middle-aged man, he actually has some connection with the young guardian envoy.

His name was Lu Yuan. When he was on a ferry, because he didn't want to say anything bad about the imperial court, he forcefully gave the Green Algae Sect one hundred thousand days of money.

However, after Mr. Lu took out the hundred thousand days of money, the Green Algae Sect was removed from this world.

Lu Qingling smiled and said, "Second uncle, we have arrived at Shendu City anyway. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer. Let's not cause any trouble to the court."

Lu Yuan nodded, deeply convinced. Based on the influence of the Lu family in the divine capital, if there is an urgent matter now, it is not impossible to enter the city first, but for things that are not urgent in the first place, Lu Yuan is not willing to cause trouble.

You must know that most of the caravans waiting to enter the city in front are supplies needed by the Ministry of War. After entering the city from here, they can stay in the divine capital for up to three days before being sent to the north.

This is a major military matter, so don't delay it if you can. Maybe it's because of their lack of delay that fewer people will die in the north and they will have a better chance of winning.

Since he was no longer in a hurry to enter the city and had nothing to do, Lu Yuan thought for a while and curiously asked about what happened in Longjiao County that day, "Qing Ling, tell your uncle, how serious were the people at that time?"

Are you not afraid at all, waiting to live and die with the guardian envoy?"

Although the events of that day spread quickly afterward, everyone only knew a general idea. Occasionally there were some detailed explanations, but no one knew whether they were true or not. Instead of listening to what these outsiders said, it was better to ask the person in front of me who had experienced it.

My niece is.

Lu Qingling glanced at her second uncle. In fact, after returning from Longjiao County, she did not mention these things deliberately, but there were many people with her at that time. Those people couldn't stop after drinking, so it was very difficult.

Soon everyone in the Lu family knew about this.

If someone else asked, Lu Qingling might just find an excuse to fool him. However, since it was her second uncle who asked, Lu Qingling was silent for a moment, and then told the truth about the scene that day. In fact, even if it was the time

Today, when she recalled the scene that day, Lu Qingling still felt a little dreamy. Almost all the people in that county were powerless, but they still dared to stand up and stop in front of the young guard.

Throughout the more than 200 years of the Liang Dynasty, has this kind of thing happened once? Even if you look through the history books, can you find just a few words in the history books?

In fact, she also knew that even now, many courtiers still regard the young envoy as the most powerful official in ancient times when he is in the court, but what about in the hearts of the people?

I'm afraid that 90% of the people in the Liang Dynasty regarded this guardian envoy as a god.

If he hadn't really done so many things for the people, how could this situation have happened?

"No matter what others think, my uncle is a person who has truly received his kindness. Moreover, my uncle has traveled all over the country for so many years and has met countless people. There is one thing that I have only seen in him."

Lu Yuan sighed, remembering the eyes he saw when he saw Chen Chao that day.

Chen Chao's appearance is not as good as that of a real immortal like Yun Jianyue, but his eyes are like stars, and they have always been extremely beautiful.

But the eyes that Lu Yuan thought of at this moment were not because they were beautiful, but because he had never seen someone in a high position with such a pair of pure eyes.

Like a pool of clear water.

He gives people a very special feeling, that is, as long as you don't stand opposite him, you can trust him unconditionally, and he will never let you down.

After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Lu Qingling also recalled the days she spent with Chen Chao. At that time, she didn't know that the young man who looked sick was the guardian envoy, but at that time, she had confirmed that he was absolutely

Not bad anymore.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken him in just because she saw him on the official road.

Lu Yuan saw Lu Qingling lost in thought, and said with a smile, "Qingling, some men will make women remember them for a lifetime after meeting them once, but you must not fall in love with him, because there will be too many women who like him, and he likes

Women have already been doomed. The rest of us will always be just spectators on the shore."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Did you know that the gods now have a saying that once you see Mr. Chen, you will miss your life."

There are quite a few girls in the city of God who are looking at a portrait all day without thinking about food or tea.

Lu Qingling smiled and said, "My uncle is worrying too much. Qingling still knows how much he weighs and won't think too much about it."

"Qing Ling, you don't have to belittle yourself, it's just that some people don't share the same path."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and gave an explanation, which was a disguised form of comfort.

Lu Qingling laughed it off and didn't say anything else. She was just a little worried that after Chen Chao disappeared in Longjiao County, he would encounter troubles that he couldn't solve again.

But then I thought about it, with the Great Sword Immortal escorting him, he shouldn't have to worry.

As Lu Yuan and Lu Qingling chatted, time passed quickly, and it was already dark in the blink of an eye. All the carriages at the city gate had entered the city, and the city guards trotted over with a smile on their faces, "It's Mr. Lu, right?"

, I’ve been waiting for a long time, hurry up and enter the city.”

The Lu family is a wealthy businessman, and caravans enter the divine capital all the year round. Naturally, they are very familiar with the soldiers guarding the four city gates. Lu Yuan smiled slightly, and naturally there was a middle-aged man next to him who looked like a manager and handed out a money bag.

"Brothers, you have all worked hard. Mr. Lu will treat you all to a late-night snack."

Mr. Lu was usually generous, and he also needed the soldiers for convenience. Anyway, there would always be money every now and then. However, this time, the soldier did not accept the money as usual, but pushed it back and smiled.

He said, "Second Master Lu, no need. I heard that Second Master Lu has donated the profits from his goods to the court several times in recent times. My brothers have heard about it a long time ago. Second Master Lu is so noble, so why should we ask for more money?"

, it doesn’t make sense.”

Lu Yuan was startled for a moment, but then he stopped insisting. After taking back the money, he smiled and said, "Then consider it as brothers also contributing to the imperial court."

The soldier smiled and moved out of the way without saying much.

Lu Yuan and Lu Qingling did not go back to the carriage, but each carried a lantern, walked through the city gate hole, and stood on the side of the long street.

After this batch of goods entered the city, 70% of the profits from the sales were actually donated to the court. This was not a request from the court overtly or covertly, but a spontaneous act on their part.

Now that the north is dangerous, they can't go to the battlefield, so they have to do their best.

Watching the carriages entering the city, a hint of fatigue appeared on Lu Yuan's eyebrows. He had traveled around for many years. Although the world was getting better and better and he didn't need to worry as much as before, after all, it had been decades and his energy was not as good as before.

It’s a matter of one less trip.

Lu Qingling noticed Lu Yuan's tiredness and said softly, "Uncle, don't worry about other things later, just leave it to me."

Just as Lu Yuan was about to speak, several more lanterns suddenly appeared in the distance, and footsteps kept approaching.

Lu Yuan looked up and asked curiously, "Xiaoxin, why are you here?"

The visitor was none other than Lu Xin, a very popular young man in the Lu family. After Lu Xin, who was already very talented in business, met Chen Chao and started a business partnership with the young guard envoy, his status in the Lu family became even higher.

A rising tide lifts all boats. At the beginning of this year, the old family owner even handed over half of Lu's business to Lu Xin. After Lu Xin took control of that half of the business, not only did he not have any decline, but he actually made those businesses more and more prosperous. This has not yet happened.

Judging from the current situation, the young man in his thirties is obviously the next head of the family.

Nowadays, it is not easy for the children of the Lu family to see Lu Xin.

"Second uncle, Sister Qingling, thank you for the hard work of traveling and traveling all the way."

Although Lu Xin now has a very high status in the Lu family, he is still extremely humble and polite, so that Lu Yuan can't find any fault.

Lu Qingling also looked at her cousin and nodded slightly.

After the greetings, Lu Xin got straight to the point and said, "Second uncle, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you with the rest of the matter. There is a meeting at the ancestral hall tonight, and I want to take Sister Qingling there."

Lu Yuan was startled at first, and then he subconsciously wanted to ask questions, but when the words came to his lips, the second master Lu held them back. He just nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, leave these matters to me, second uncle, and you can

Do not worry."

In this room, Lu Yuan still had a lot of say in the first two years, but with the rise of Lu Xin, now he has become the real talker in this room. In addition, Lu Yuan himself is already old, not to mention that

He was ambitious, so Lu Yuan, who subconsciously wanted to ask what the ancestral hall meant, didn't ask anything in the end.

He has long accepted the fact that he is old and now the world is dominated by young people.
