In the evening, Zhang Guoyuan returned to his residence.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, he came to the study and saw a fat man in his fifties already waiting there.
"I've seen Zhang Zhenshou."
The man saluted respectfully.
"Lu Qianhu is so polite."
Zhang Guoyuan said with a smile and cupped his hands.
"Having seen what Zhao Lie did in the past two days, Lu Qianhu regrets your decision to leave the capital."
"I have no regrets at all.
On the contrary, I am glad that I took this trip.
Along the way, I saw the broken rivers and mountains and the suffering of the people.
I felt sad that what I have inherited is a mess."
Lu Ping sighed.
"These words from your mouth are enough for me.
Don't say too much.
You have been unable to get promoted for many years.
Your mouth has ruined a big thing."
Zhang Guoyuan nodded at him and sighed.
"Lu is 50 years old this year.
He has been wandering around the small capital all his life.
It is a blessing in life to have the opportunity to serve the country.
This trip will definitely complete the matters assigned by Long Live Lord."
Lu Ping didn't know.
Care about Tao.
"I think you come from a noble family, so you are supposed to enjoy a leisurely life.
You have to meddle in everything, but you have wasted half your life in the capital.
If you think about the clear water but no fish, you still don't understand."
Zhang Guoyuan shook his head.
"Lu just doesn't want to spend his life like his elder brother with a salary, reciting poems and writing poems, taking shelter from the summer heat, and having more children.
This life is too boring."
Lu Ping shook his head.
Zhang Guoyuan knew his temperament, and it was because of Lu Ping's sincerity that he recommended this old friend's younger brother to Long Live Lord.
Of course, Lu Ping also happened to be on duty at Fusi in Jinyiweinan Town.
"What do you think of Zhao Lie?"
Since he was not convinced, Zhang Guoyuan stopped talking.
Business was more important.
"Interesting, interesting."
Lu Ping smiled.
"How interesting."
Zhang Guoyuan wondered, how interesting it is.
"I heard that this Zhao Lie is an unparalleled general in the capital.
I thought he must be as good as Man Gui, but he is better at using soldiers than Man Gui.
Unexpectedly, this person looks as dark and rough as Man Gui, but his mind is very careful.
Don't go.
The excuse of the capital left all the adults speechless."
Lu Ping recalled Zhao Lie's expression and smiled.

"Well, he was able to train an elite army at a young age.
He was defeated repeatedly and established slaves, and his gains were futile.
He wiped out tens of thousands of rebels in three battles and captured the strong city of Dengzhou.
He can't be a simple person.
I'm afraid he will be disappointed.
Yes."
Zhang Guoyuan said solemnly.
"Of course there is a legend that is right.
He must have personally gone into battle to kill Jiannu."
Lu Ping affirmed.
"Oh.
How come you can see that?"
Zhang Guoyuan said curiously.
"Today I saw in the inner room that Zhao Lie staggered Zu Dalue with just a slight send.
You must know that Zu Dalue was a veteran general in Liaodong.
He had fought against Jiannu more than once in Liaodong.
Zhao Lie But it was just a slight push..."
Lu Ping imitated Zhao Lie and made a gesture.
"Oh, I was talking to Mr.
Zhu at that time and didn't see it."
Zhang Guoyuan said with narrowed eyes.
"Besides, the person next to Zhao Lie is not simple."
Lu Ping said.
"Who is the difference?"
Zhang Guoyuan looked at Lu Ping.
"It's the general who is about the same age as Zhao Lie.
He is always at Zhao Lie's side.
But Tiao Kong carefully observed everyone in the room, everyone."
Lu Ping said.
"So it's a staff role."
Zhang Guoyuan nodded.
Lu Ping looked at it carefully.
It seemed that he had chosen the wrong person.
"No, this person must have seen blood.
He is not a scholar, not simple."
Lu Ping shook his head.
"It seems that Zhao Lie does have capable people around him.
It's no wonder that he has reached this position at such a young age.
You have to know that he is simply something the court has to do."
Zhang Guoyuan whispered.
"Don't worry, Mr.
Zhang.
Soon we will know who made the decision in the Zhao family.
Is it Zhao Haiming or Zhao Lie, and whether there are Zhuge and his ilk around him."
Lu Ping immediately patted his chest.

"Well, the emperor has high hopes for us, we should not ignore them."
Zhang Guoyuan sighed.
This job is not easy, he is the only one who knows the things here best, and he won’t even talk about the ups and downs.
"Don't worry, sir, Lu Ping will not disappoint His Majesty."
Lu Ping said with cupped hands.
The next day, Lu Ping, who was dressed in short clothes and looked like a commoner, quietly left the official office through the side door with three servants.
Lu Ping came and walked on the street and saw that many damaged buildings were being repaired, and many people were leveling the streets.
It doesn't matter that the broken doors, windows and walls were repaired, and the potholed streets were smoothed.
For the past six months, Dengzhou has been in the hands of the rebels.
Who cares about the rebels who have a lost future, they are just making do.
As for the countless cases of soldiers coming to rob women of money and food, destroying houses is useless.
Bang, he turned around and fell to the ground.
Several muddy spots bounced up and landed on Lu Ping's feet.
Just as Lu Ping's followers were about to get angry, Lu Ping glared and several of them did not dare to speak.
"I'm sorry, brother, if you shake your hand, the brick will fall.
Look at this..."
A middle-aged man standing on the wall of the courtyard laughed with him.
"It's okay.
If you don't have time, I'll give it to you."
Lu Ping picked up the brick and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"What's wrong with this?
Look, ugh."
The middle-aged man wiped his dirty hands on his tattered clothes before taking the brick.
Lu Ping is just a fat old man dressed as a civilian, but he is still one step ahead of low-status craftsmen.
"Brother, the ground is about to freeze.
It's so cold and you still work.
Look at your hands that are a little cracked."
Lu Ping said in a very affectionate manner.
"Oh, it's cold.
Tell me, it's cold, but I get paid for it.
To be honest, my family would have been ruined a long time ago.
If Mr.
Zhao hadn't paid for the renovation of the streets and repaired the damage done by the rebels, , I have to beg every day."
The craftsman rubbed his hands vigorously, and then continued his work.
He spread the mortar and smoothed it with a trowel.
Then he put the green bricks on it and tapped it lightly with the trowel to make it consistent with the adjacent ones.
The green bricks are flush.
"Brother, come on."
Lu Ping picked up a brick from the ground and handed it to the craftsman with discernment.
"Thank you, brother.
Alas, if the eldest son of the family hadn't been asked to help put the beams inside, there wouldn't be anyone who could deliver the bricks."
Now that we've gotten to know each other better, the craftsman isn't too polite.
He's really done it here.
"These are all hired by Mr.
Zhao."

Lu Ping pointed at the busy people nearby in surprise.
"That's right, Mr.
Zhao employs thousands of people in Dengzhou, and almost every household has men working to earn wages."
The craftsman smiled.
"Another corrupt official."
Lu Ping's companion, Lao Zhou, curled his lips.
"What did you say?
What did you say?"
The craftsman looked at Lao Zhou with frightened eyes.
"Corrupt officials, how else could they get so much money to hire so many people to work and win people's hearts."
Old Zhou's voice became louder.
"You are talking nonsense.
Mr.
Zhao's family has a maritime trade business, which has only just flourished.
However, Mr.
Zhao has never been rich and unkind.
The Zhao family spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on the army.
How many barbarians were killed in Zhuozhou and Xuanchuan?
Kong Youde's rebellion was annihilated by Mr.
Zhao in several battles.
Seeing that all the money and food of the people in Dengzhou were taken away by the rebels, they found some work to give us a way to survive, you, you," The more the craftsman talked, the more excited he became.
He pointed at Lao Zhou, his face turned red, and he was speechless.
Several people in dirty clothes ran out, "Dad, what's going on?"
One of the young men shouted anxiously.
"Ahem, cough, cough," the craftsman coughed a few times, "They said Mr.
Zhao is a corrupt official."
"Who said that?
Which of you said it?"
The young man pointed at several people with the hammer in his hand.
"It's not a good thing to have more corrupt officials like this.
They are really bastards.
It makes me uncomfortable to support my family, right?
Well, you guys He must be a foreigner."
"Brother, don't be upset, we are not from Dengzhou, but from Weihai."
Lu Ping said with a smile.
"Oh, no wonder, it turns out to be from Weihai."
The young man put down the hammer, and suddenly he turned the hammer towards Lu Ping.
"These are rebels, spies."
Other people also pounced on Lu Ping and the others.
Lu Ping moved his left hand and pushed the young man's back with his right hand, causing the young man to fly out.
"Run."
Lu Ping shouted, and he ran out with a speed that was inconsistent with his fat body.
The same is true for others.
They can't do it without running.
More than ten people with axes and shovels came out of the back yard.

This was the rhythm to capture them here.
Several people ran out of a street until they could no longer see the pursuers.
"Well, Lao Zhou is good, this test is good."
Lu Ping gasped, "This, this Zhao Lie is really good at winning people's hearts."
"Ahem, ahem, this is nothing, but Qianhu, what Zhao Lie is saying now, even the governor's words won't work."
Lao Zhouyi sat on the ground.
"Hmph, I think even Long Live Lord's words are not as effective as Master Zhao's."
Lu Pingy said sternly.
"Sir, this place is evil."
Another servant said.
"Humph, everywhere you go is the world of the Ming Dynasty.
Let's go and take a look."
Lu Ping supported the old man's waist and said.
After noon, they traveled all over Dengzhou in Zhoujiuli.
Many of them were in this situation, which made Lu Ping feel heavier and heavier.
A few people were hungry and chose a noodle shop to satisfy their hunger.
The reason why it was called "chosen one" was because diagonally opposite was the Dengzhou Camp.
It used to be where Biao Camp was located, but now it is the military camp of Zhao Lie's soldiers.
Each of them ordered double portions of braised noodles and ate them.
Only Lu Ping chewed slowly and steadily, staring at the camp.
There were thirty soldiers of the Polu Army guarding the outside of the camp.
They were either holding iron spears or firecrackers.
They stood in an orderly manner and looked ahead, their eyes constantly inspecting the situation around them.
By the time Lu Ping finished eating slowly and slowly, it took a stick of incense and the other three had already finished.
"Lu Tou, they haven't moved since we came in."
Lao Zhou clicked his lips.
Lu Ping was silent.
He shouted to Huoji, "It's too cold outside.
I'll wait here to warm up for a while.
You can bring some hot water and I'll give you money for a table of meals later."
Okay, the boy agreed, and everyone refused to agree to this good thing.
He hurriedly told the back to boil water.
Several people have been here for an hour, but these soldiers are still like this.
There is some fog on the armor on their bodies, but they still stand upright.
Lu Ping and Lao Zhou looked at each other in surprise, are they still human?
Then came the changing of the guard, and the remaining soldiers were still like this, standing there and watching everywhere vigilantly.
On the way back, several people were silent.
"Old Zhou, look at the group of soldiers outside who came back from shopping.
Their cars have been inspected."
Lu Ping broke the silence.
"Well, Lu Tou, as long as such a soldier survives after seeing blood, it will be too scary."
Lao Zhou said with a white breath.
Lu Ping nodded, looked at the gray sky and sighed
