This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 241 Brainstorming
"Royal sister, why do you trust that boy so much?"

In the study room of Prince Yu's Mansion.

King Yu was sitting opposite the cold aunt. Looking at Shangguan opposite, King Yu frowned slightly.

In his impression, his sister has been quite cold-tempered since she was a child. If he and she had not shared the same mother, plus he did not like to fight and valued family ties, I am afraid that she would not be close to him.

Shangguan looked at King Yu, his only relative in the world, and sighed softly:

"Brother Wang, we have to guard against this kind of thing. Besides..."

She paused slightly and continued:

"Besides, last month, Lu Yixing and I were crossing the Luoshui River together. Halfway through the trip, we suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. We actually lost consciousness on the way to the Luoshui River..."

"This cannot be done falsely."

Shangguan's voice was filled with determination.

She had an inexplicable belief in Lu Yuanzhi.

Maybe it was the first time the two of them went on a mission, going to Qinghe Academy to rescue the dying Wei Wuhou. Maybe it was the two of them going to Hangzhou together and being rescued by him when he fell into the water. Or maybe it was when the boy broke the Buddha formation, the formation The face that appeared in the scene was exactly the same as mine...

In short, in Shangguan's heart, Lu Yuanzhi is indeed trustworthy.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Shangguan's words, King Yu's eyes flashed with gleam.

"The cultivation level of the imperial sister's warrior is far higher than that of ordinary people... But that's right. According to what the boy said, I'm afraid the higher the cultivation level of the martial arts formation, the more obvious the effect will be.

"A month ago... it seems to be true. At that time, my brother was admiring the moon in the courtyard, and the guards around him did have some problems, but it didn't take long to get better..."

"So it is."

King Yu had a trance in his eyes.

…………

After Lu Yuanzhi left the house, he went back to the government office without stopping.

He still has things to do.

"Brother Lu!"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Lu Qifeng who was doing rehabilitation exercises in the yard.

He was also secretly amazed at the warrior's physique, but he knew how serious Qi Feng's arm injury was.

It was originally his own, and he knew how heavy it would be.

It took only a few days for such a serious injury to recover to this extent.

Lu Qifeng looked solemnly at the big tree in front of him in the courtyard.

He kept waving his injured arm gently on it, and suddenly heard Lu Yuanzhi's voice. He was frightened and quickly clasped something with his fingers on the tree.

Then he looked at Lu Yuanzhi and laughed:
"Brother Lu, why are you here free?"

"I'm here to discuss important matters."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Lu Qifeng solemnly.

"Oh?"

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's solemn eyes, Lu Qifeng did not dare to neglect, hurriedly came to Lu Yuanzhi and said with a serious face:

"Come with me."

After saying that, he pulled Lu Yuanzhi out of the yard and came to the side room.

The two of them sat down, Lu Yuanzhi and Lu Qifeng drank the tea made by the slave on the table.

"What the hell is going on?"

Lu Qifeng looked confused.

"Brother Lu, what is the strength of our mission?" Lu Yuanzhi asked.

"Brother Lu asked why?"

Lu Qifeng frowned and saw that Lu Yuanzhi was a little confused. There were only [-] Jinwu Guards in the delegation.

But these are military secrets.

How to fight and specific operations are compulsory courses for every general, but the problem is that these things cannot be told to others.

"Brother Lu, you and I may be in great danger!"

Lu Yuanzhi's face was filled with worry.

"what??"

Lu Qifeng looked confused. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi carefully. Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi's face didn't look like he was joking with him, he frowned and asked:
"Brother Lu, why are you saying this? Go to the Jiaofang Division, I'll give you the money..."

"no……"

The corners of Lu Yuanzhi's mouth twitched slightly.

He took a deep breath and said: "This matter is important, let me tell you slowly..."

Lu Yuanzhi took the initiative to express his premonition.

"Ok?"

After Lu Qifeng heard this, his brows furrowed and he asked:
"Brother Lu, why do you think so? We are in Hangzhou and fully defended. Even if there are thieves, they probably won't fall on you and me..."

After all, Lu Qifeng felt that Lu Yuanzhi was a bit of a snob now.

"I'm not unfounded, I really need to be prepared."

Lu Yuanzhi said solemnly: "There may be danger at any time."

"Brother Lu, don't worry. I train my troops every day and train well. Even if a thief attacks, I can take precautions."

Lu Qifeng patted Lu Yuanzhi on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Oh……"

Lu Yuanzhi sighed slightly when he saw Lu Qifeng's serious expression but the relaxed tone in his tone.

He could see that no one except the cold aunt believed his words.

Although he has achieved great fame in the capital, he still doesn't work well here.

Time flies by.

For three days, everyone in Lu Yuan was on tenterhooks every day, but every day was uneventful.

Lu Yuanzhi even thought that he was too nervous.

In the past three days, Lu Qifeng's injuries have almost recovered.

And they are indeed training their soldiers every day.

For some reason, even though everything was fine, Lu Yuanzhi still felt a little worried.

……

"Report!! It's urgent! It's urgent!"

"Ping'an County fell and the rebels were less than a hundred miles away from Hangzhou!!"

A loud and miserable sound broke everyone's dream of peace in Hangzhou.

……

King Yu was sitting in the middle of the palace.

Below are officials from various levels such as the prefect and the garrison.

Sitting next to King Yu was the cold aunt, and at the end were Lu Yuanzhi and Lu Qifeng.

The people in the mission are not in the official system.

"His Royal Highness King Qi Yu, Liu Qi, the leader of the rebels, was born in Hedong Liu... known as an army of one hundred thousand..."

Not long after, basic information about the rebels was revealed.

Suddenly heard such news.

The atmosphere in the yamen was terrifyingly depressing.

Dayong, which had lived peacefully for 500 years, rebels appeared here...

Some people have been officials all their lives and have never even fought in a war.

Even for military commanders, Dayong has been at peace for too long.

The last familiar big battle was the Battle of Yumenguan more than 20 years ago.

King Yu was still calm, still sitting upright, looking at the officials in the hall calmly.

The cold aunt sat next to him, her face cold and plain, showing no emotion or anger.

As for other officials, although their faces were relatively calm, Lu Yuanzhi could still tell that many of their hands were trembling.

Even some low-level officials' legs couldn't stop shaking.

"The rebels are so powerful, why did Hangzhou only receive the news now? Are all the people in the post station a bunch of trash??!"

At this time, King Yu looked at everyone in the field calmly.

When King Yu spoke his words, everyone remained silent.

"An army of one hundred thousand, haha, even if the rebel claims falsely, considering he is fifty thousand, there must be some movement, right??"

King Yu's voice was deafening. .

"His Royal Highness King Yu, at this moment, the top priority is to make good arrangements for the city lord."

There was no time for anyone to speak, and only the prefect in the hall stood up bravely.

"I am required to do the deployment in the city?"

King Yu became even more angry.

In fact, as we all know, in Dayong, the royal family after the enfeoffment had no real power in the local area.

In name, they control the fiefdom, but in fact, officials of all sizes divide this power almost equally.

If you want to truly control thunder and lightning in your own territory, you must have nearly twenty officials, large and small, in your hands.

So King Yu acted very angry.

Do you listen to my orders? ? !

The magistrate bowed and said, "I'm going to give you some orders?"

"Why don't you hurry up?!"

King Yu was obviously very angry at this time.

In fact, this meeting had nothing to do with Lu Yuanzhi. He just followed the princess to observe.

Not even qualified to speak.

After all, he was just a junior military attaché of the eighth rank, even though he was an official in the capital, and even though he was born as Pei Yinlang.

But in the end, when it came to war, no one listened to his words. …

"That's fine. Now that the war is getting tight, what can our mission do if we can do our part?"

After the meeting, Zhang Shenxing came to Lu Yuanzhi and looked at Lu Yuanzhi's question.

Apparently this former boss had his own ideas.

"Alright."

Lu Yuanzhi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "We still need to report to the princess first."

"I'll go talk to the boss."

The solemn look on Zhang Shenxing's face was not weak at all.

This was also the first time he encountered war.

……

Among the entire mission, the only one who had encountered war was Shangguan.

She once participated in the Battle of Yumen Pass with Ji Xuan.

Therefore, I still have to ask her for advice on some things.

……

City head.

Lu Yuanzhi frowned as he looked at the rebels surrounding the city but refused to attack.

He could see that there were obvious differences between the rebels under the city and those he had encountered in the Buddhist formation.

The one in front of me not only looks more powerful, but also has improved discipline.

It didn't take long for them to set up camp.

Just when Lu Yuanzhi was wondering why the rebels didn't attack for so long.

A car was pushed out.

The moment he saw the car, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes trembled.

That is……

artillery? ! !

The rebels actually have artillery? ? !
Lu Yuanzhi's heart trembled when he saw it.

How is this going?

Gunpowder was developed by the Kewu Department in Beijing.

And this invention is firmly in the hands of Dayong.

There is no way the rebels would have such a thing.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzhi felt a little panicked.

Can you get everything from Kewusi? ?
Who is standing behind the rebels? ?
Inexplicably, Lu Yuanzhi thought of the Tongjiu Company he met on Luoshui last time.

By the way, it seems that the company's boat has been parked on the water since it was hijacked by me, and I didn't care about it...

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan got off the city. He wanted to take a look on the boat to see if there was anything related to the rebels outside the city.

His walking speed is not too slow.

It didn't take long to arrive on the boat.

After the ship arrived in Hangzhou, it was handed over to local personnel to guard it.

The guard was also an old acquaintance.

It was the young official Lu who had exposed his identity when he met him in the Jiaofang Division a few days ago.

"Lu Fengpei?!"

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi suddenly appear in front of his eyes, the seriousness of the war on the face of Mr. Lu, a junior official, was much lessened.

"I'm going to check the boat again."

Lu Yuanzhi spoke calmly.

The ship was originally delivered to Hangzhou by the mission, and Lu Yuanzhi could see it as he pleased.

"Oh?"

Master Lu frowned slightly, but still nodded and said: "Okay."

Lu Yuanzhi was not in the mood to chatter, so he came to the ship alone and went straight to the warehouse.

It was here that a considerable amount of gunpowder material was discovered.

Only when he opened the box...

He was dumbfounded.

Damn it, where’s the stuff? ? ! !
Before him was an empty box.

Suddenly, Lu Yuanzhi seemed to have thought of something, and he hurriedly opened all the boxes.

Same result.

All boxes are empty.

……

"Where's something?!"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the young official named Lu in front of him with an extremely ugly expression.

"what?"

The junior officer looked puzzled.

"Stuff on the boat."

Lu Yuanzhi tried hard to control the anger in his heart.

Damn, you're a bunch of trash, you can't even look at a boat.

"Ah? This..."

The officer hesitated and said, "The things on the boat have been taken away."

"Who?!!"

Lu Yuanzhi seemed to have thought of something, and he stared at the junior official.

"People from Prince Yu's Mansion."

The junior official bit the bullet.

There were some things that he couldn't say, but the Lu Yuanzhi in front of him put too much pressure on him, so he had to say them.

Boom!

A burst of thunder split instantly in Lu Yuanzhi's mind.

All his speculations were shattered into pieces.

"You mean, the people from Prince Yu's Mansion took away all the things in the box??!"

Lu Yuanzhi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Yes."

The junior official swallowed, a little afraid of Lu Yuanzhi.

"okay, I get it."

Lu Yuanzhi was silent for a while.

Then, he left without looking back.

"By the way, you can't tell anyone about what I came here today. It's for my own good and your own good..."

Lu Yuanzhi sent a message to the junior official.

The official looked confused...

…………

Lu Yuanzhi came to the government office with a normal expression.

What he didn't expect was that several guests came to his residence.

"The lower official has seen the princess."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the cold aunt in front of him and bowed.

"I heard from Shenxing that you went to the city?"

The cold aunt looked at Lu Yuanzhi indifferently.

"Yes."

"Have you found anything?"

"Princess Qi Zhen, no."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice contained a hint of gloom and worry that he couldn't even detect.

What really worried him was the person next to the princess.

King Yu.

At this time, King Yu looked at Lu Yuanzhi calmly:
"I heard someone reported that you just went to the north of the city??"

Hear Yu my voice.

Lu Yuanzhi's heart sank.

However, his expression remained normal and he said:

"Your Highness, yes, I saw the rebels outside the city and felt depressed, so I got off the city and walked outside..."

"Oh……"

There was no emotion in King Yu's indifferent eyes.

He looked at Lu Yuanzhi and said, "Did you see anything??"

"No."

Lu Yuanzhi lowered his head, and no one could see the fine sweat gradually seeping out on his forehead. .

"Ha ha."

King Yu's voice and laughter contained a hint of relaxation that shouldn't be felt when the army was pressing down on the situation.

"Why don't you raise your head? I, the king, am so scary?"
