The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

In an inconspicuous mountain forest in the suburbs of Beijing, people come and go from a bamboo house from time to time.

Behind the desk table in the house, a man who is almost in his forties is painting with his hands behind his back.

A lonely city stands alone on the drawing paper, with dead leaves swirling and dark clouds looming.

He added a few strokes in a leisurely manner, making the light and shadow on the painting more vivid and three-dimensional.

There are no figures, thunder and lightning, and strong wind in the painting, but when the scroll is unfolded, the feeling of oppression, shock, and suffocation brought about by the torrential rain, strong wind, lightning and thunder, and the fierce battle between the two armies hits the face.

"Lang Jun!"

The excited call from the visitor interrupted the man who was intoxicated in the painting, he blinked and raised his head.

He is actually an elegant and handsome gentleman with a jade face!

"Oh? But there's news from the capital?" Mr. Mei Lang put down his pen with great interest, and said with a smile on his face, "Tell me about it."

"Mr. Lang, as you expected, the Kyoto Internal Guards and the City Patrol Division discovered the secret passage in the old house! Haha, let them find it!"

Mr. Mei Lang was a little complacent in his eyes, but he told his subordinates not to underestimate him: "It's a bit of luck to find it so early! However, it's still too young! Let them find it! It will be a big deal soon, if you can Leading them out of the capital can be regarded as we have cleared the obstacles for the lord, and the event will be accomplished!"

"Your Majesty has a great plan!"

As soon as the subordinate praised him, he heard movement outside the door. The two of them looked over at the same time, and saw a veiled girl pushing the door in.

"Aunt Yan." Mr. Mei Lang immediately stood up and stepped forward to meet her.

Aunt Yan nodded: "Lu Jun is well."

"Auntie, please take a seat." Mr. Mei Lang saw that the other party was humble, so he became more polite.

"Lu Jun, let's not gossip, I just want to ask you, is the matter arranged by the lord safe?"

"Don't worry, aunt, everything is going according to plan." As he said this, the handsome man named Lu looked at his subordinates who had already retreated to the side and stood with their heads bowed. "Tell aunt the details of the situation!"

When Aunt Yan heard the last thing, her eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she praised her again and again.

Seeing this, Mr. Mei Lang, surnamed Lu, expressed concern and asked: "Auntie, there are still four armies stationed outside Beijing. I wonder if by then... will he disturb the master's plan? Is there any place for Lu to serve you right now? "

Aunt Yan smiled and waved her hands: "My lord has already made arrangements, so there is no need for Mr. Lu to worry."

Thinking that her master thinks highly of this person, Aunt Yan inevitably said a few more words: "Once there is chaos over there, there will be no leader here in the capital, and the fourth army will be difficult to defeat with strong troops.

As long as the enthroned new emperor comes from the great Chu royal family, can those soldiers who protect Jiang and Chu Jiangshan still work hard?If they really want to attack the capital regardless of the consequences, they are not loyal to the emperor, but rebels!At that time, without the need for the lord to act, those civil servants and nobles in the court will not be able to sit still! "

Aunt Yan said it with confidence, and Mr. Lu Meilang was even more excited when he heard it.

"Auntie, the lord's sage is illuminated by candlelight, and he has only passed the Han Wu Tang Zong. Why don't you go one step further? Why bother to make wedding clothes for others?"

"Master has his own rules..." Aunt Yan wanted to scold, but suddenly remembered what her former master had told her, so she quickly softened her voice, "Those people are lords after all, and it's easier to act, so let's just Let them occupy the seats first! The lord must raise the heirs properly so that he can plan for the future."

Saying this, Aunt Yan smiled and looked at Mr. Lu Meilang: "You also know that the lord is most proud of Sanniang and Liulang, but the two little masters are too young, so they need to be taught by the lord."

Hearing the two children, the handsome man surnamed Lu flashed excitement in his eyes: "It's still the master Zhouquan."

Aunt Yan twitched the corners of her mouth under her veil, and slowly stood up from her seat:

"Okay, Mr. Lu, the slave is going back to his life! Before the slave came, the master told the slave to tell you that although the scenery here is beautiful, you should not be greedy; you can just look at it from a distance, and don't get close to it. Before, when Sanniang Liulang grows up, he still needs you to teach him knowledge."

"Lu will obey the order of the lord!"

……

"Sister Yuan!" The disheartened An Yu came out of the tunnel.

Sheng Yuan sat in front of him holding the book and waited for a while, when he looked up, he saw his pair of big white teeth, and waved his hands in a funny way: "How is it? Did you notice it again?!"

"This tunnel leads outside the capital, and the exit is in the bamboo forest three miles southeast of the post road."

An Yu patted her hair, and took the wet handkerchief from Cheng Dong.

He stayed far away from Shengyuan and talked about the details while wiping his face.

Speaking of which, he was a little disappointed with today's action: "The two captains of the monitoring team have made sufficient preparations. Who would have thought that the two passages are very simple. Not only do they not have any traps, but they can't find any traps." Appropriate traces of action."

"Why didn't they come back?" Sheng Yuan thought that this operation was still fruitful.

"I asked them to arrange people to ambush near the bamboo forest. As long as someone goes down the tunnel, they will be locked in the suburbs in advance!"

"Let them come back!" Sheng Yuan thought for a while and suggested that Anyu withdraw his troops.

Although An Yu was puzzled, he still sent Xiao Falcon to deliver the letter first.

"We brought the team here without any cover-up. If the other party wants to, it's possible that they can't know what's going on in the house.

If this place is so important to them, how could they not set up sentries at two places in and out of the suburbs?If there is a secret sentry, then... I'm afraid they will find out when the monitoring team shows up from the tunnel. "

"!!!" An Yu slapped his head violently, and howled in frustration, "Why didn't I think of such a simple reasoning!"

Sheng Yuan: "..." Forget it, don't argue with fools!

"Otherwise, let's take advantage of the situation, withdraw from here first, and then send people to come secretly, guard the entrances and exits of these two passages, and give them a catch!"

An Yu waved her hands and looked at Sheng Yuan expectantly.

"In addition to occupying troops, your method is very good!"

"Is that so..." Anyu thought for a while and asked Shengyuan humbly, "Do you have a good idea?"

"It's not a good way." Sheng Yuan closed the book and looked in the direction of the two passages, "It's just that you use gunpowder to blow up the passage, then fill and seal the two entrances and exits, and finally put your The Consul General’s Office is temporarily located here.”

"!!!" Hearing this, An Yu couldn't help but marvel at the simplicity of Sheng Yuan's idea.

"As for the direct descendant of the Lu family, I'm afraid that he insists that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall."

Although Sheng Yuan drew a portrait of the other party based on the oral description of the current Mrs. An Guogong, and Mrs. Yuan also said that she was very similar, but the prerequisite for finding the other party is the other party's appearance!
"What exactly do they want to do?" Sheng Yuan couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.

The Lu family's second grandson appeared, did Empress Lu know about it?

He appeared in the capital, really just to establish contact with Anguo Gongfu?

"Brother Yu!" Sheng Yuan's squinted eyes suddenly widened, and he dragged An Yu out without saying a word, "Check with the commanders of the Internal Guard and City Patrol Division, and quickly write down the situation in Kyoto in detail. Secretly sent to Shengjia!"

"Ah? Good! I'll go right away!" Although An Yu was puzzled, seeing Sheng Yuan's request, she nodded seriously and promised to do it immediately.
