Chapter 92: Vow of Non-War

"Did you encounter anything on the way?" Lu Wenyu sat upright in the carriage. Seeing Zhao Jue's expressionless face, he asked with a smile.

Just thinking about how to ask Lu Wenyu for money, Zhao Jue was interrupted by Lu Wenyu. He was too embarrassed to say it directly, but just smiled bitterly.

"Revisiting the old place...what will happen, but I didn't expect that Lord Lu is not well-known in Shu."

Listening to Zhao Jue's blatant sarcasm, Lu Wenyu laughed for a while. This kid is still a sly guy. He didn't say anything when he had something to say, but had to talk about some messy things, making him not know how to respond.

Fortunately, Lu Wenyu was not a thin-skinned person. He chose not to hear the rest of the words and continued to laugh, "It's good to have the leisure to revisit the old place. The journey is long and the seasons change along the way. It's hard for you."

Fuck! Zhao Jue cursed in his heart, you are really good, and you have used the method of selective deafness. But fortunately, Zhao is not a polite person. Since he doesn't like to beat around the bush, I will play a straight ball.

"Fifth Master, I almost lost my life after this trip. You won't help me get justice, right?"

"Is there such a thing? Which traitor? So bold that he dared to touch the Jinyiwei on duty? He really doesn't know how to live or die!" Zhao Jue had already said this, and Lu Wenyu had to express his attitude. Zhao was an official appointed by the court, and Zhao was his subordinate. If he didn't even have an attitude, it would be unreasonable.

Zhao Jue smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. That's right, Master Wang Jiwei, Taoist Master Chengjing, kindly invited me to Qingcheng Mountain for tea. You say this matter...is not good?"

Lu Wenyu's mouth twitched. Drinking tea? It's underground tea. This kid is really, he doesn't cause trouble easily, but he always causes big trouble. You are a third-rank official, and you are so bold as to provoke a small master.

"Muzhi, I'm busy with work, so I don't have time to accompany you to Qingcheng Mountain for tea. Let's postpone it."

"I'll postpone it." Zhao Jue smiled slyly, raised his eyebrows, rubbed his two fingers and thumb constantly, and said in embarrassment, "But Taoist Chengjing said that the tea is ready. It would be a waste if we don't drink it..."

Looking at Zhao Jue's cannibalistic eyes and the movements of his hands, Lu Wenyu knew that Zhao Jue was asking for money no matter how stupid he was. "Alas, Muzhi, I don't have any money either, but I have a big business!"

"Oh?" Zhao Jue immediately became interested. He has been having some good fortune recently. He has been doing business one after another and can't rest even if he wants to. Although he was overjoyed, he still asked expressionlessly, "What big business? You don't want me to assassinate the Northern Hu man, do you?"

"You really think highly of yourself..."

"I just finished my business trip. I've been tired all the way. Take a good rest first. Don't be in a hurry! I'll tell you when the time comes."

Lu Wenyu whispered mysteriously, and his expression returned to normal. He squinted his eyes and covered his hands, and stopped talking.

The carriage went all the way to the inner city, and it took more than half an hour to stop in front of the Zhaoyu Gate. After saying goodbye to Lu Wenyu on the opposite side, Zhao got out of the carriage. The little flag on duty at the door had already stepped forward with an umbrella and helped Zhao get off the carriage.

After a while, after Zhao entered the door, Lu Wenyu's plain voice came from the carriage, "Go to Xiyuan."

Hearing Lu Wenyu's voice, the driver did not dare to delay. After responding, he drove the carriage towards the Xiyuan of the Imperial City.

Although it was drizzling in front of the West Garden Gate, it was rare for Eunuch Feng to stand in front of the palace gate. There was no eunuch holding an umbrella behind him, but he held a big umbrella in his hand.

As soon as Lu Wenyu's carriage stopped, Eunuch Feng walked forward a few steps, opened the curtain for Lu Wenyu, and helped Lu Wenyu get off the carriage.

"Master Lu is finally here. The emperor is waiting anxiously. Didn't he ask us to come out and wait for him?"

"I'm late. Please forgive me." Lu Wenyu got off the carriage and walked side by side with Eunuch Feng to the West Garden. The two talked and laughed along the way, and the rain didn't disturb their mood at all.

As soon as the two approached Qingxuan Palace, a eunuch pushed open the palace gate for them. The two walked into Qingxuan Palace, and before they had time to close the palace gate, a faint voice came from inside.

"The weather is colder with each autumn rain. Even in the palace, the weather outside the palace is even worse. This season is also the autumn harvest season. The people are suffering."

The voice was gentle, echoing in the tall and empty Qingxuan Palace. Eunuch Feng and Lu Wenyu were about to kneel down when they heard the voice. Yuan Zhuo walked out of the inner hall with his hands behind his back. Seeing the two people's actions, he smiled and said, "No need to be polite. I just spoke from my feelings and don't mean to blame you. Big friend, move a stool for Wenyu to sit on.

As he said that, Yuan Zhuo put the memorial in his hand on the table and sat casually on the steps of the altar. After Lu Wenyu sat down, he said, "Wenyu, I was just reading the memorial submitted by Ningzhou. Although the old general is old, he is still as good at killing enemies in front of the battlefield as he was in the past, hahahaha. "

The two could tell that Yuan Zhuo was in a good mood and guessed that it was the great victory at the Ningzhou border. They looked at each other and Lu Wenyu spoke first, "The old general received the emperor's grace and the people's will. The whole army worked together to achieve the great victory in Ningzhou and recover the lost territory."

Eunuch Feng, who was standing on the side, echoed him, and his words were full of flattery such as Yuan Zhuo's good coordination. Perhaps because of the deep feelings of the two, Yuan Zhuo's eyes curved, the corners of his mouth rose, and his body half-lying down involuntarily.

"It's not me who has made contributions, but the soldiers of Ningzhou. I just raised some food and military supplies, and I dare not take credit!" Yuan Zhuo said so, but the joy in his voice could not be concealed.

Lu Wenyu and Eunuch Feng, one had been in officialdom for a long time and the other had served the emperor for decades, how could they not understand the emperor's thoughts. After a few words of praise, he stopped talking about the matter. He just proposed to ask for merit for the soldiers. After getting the answer, Lu Wenyu tentatively spoke.

"Your Majesty, I wonder when Xuan Chen came to the palace? Is Ningzhou's grain, grass and military supplies still transported by him?"

Yuan Zhuo was not in a hurry to answer, and just asked Eunuch Feng to show the book to Lu Wenyu. The excerpt was not long, just a few lines, but Lu Wenyu's brows tightened as he read it, and his face was as gloomy as water before he finished reading it.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zhuo raised his hand to stop Lu Wenyu, nodded with an ugly expression, and then sighed, "The oath of no war has been torn up by Beihu. This is something that cannot be changed. All we can do is prepare in advance." . They are not yet able to fully enter the country. It is just a battle. If you prepare early, you can be more sure."

Lu Wenyu looked up at Yuan Zhuo and said helplessly, "Who should I let go? Just relying on Jin Yiwei and Dongxi Factory alone will definitely lose!"

"Eight people come out of the rivers and lakes, and two people come out of the imperial court. If people in the rivers and lakes are not willing to protect themselves, it is nothing more than big fish eating small shrimps." Yuan Zhuo's strong voice echoed in the empty Qingxuan Palace, full of the majesty of the emperor.

"I will issue an order to the Jianghu sect. The remaining two people, Wenyu, can be discussed with the big companion. You know the rules."

"Remember, only with the determination to die can you have a chance of survival!"
