northwest.

Lu Hou rode on the prairie.

Hundreds of miles back and forth, easy.

"The Marquis is is growing stronger and stronger. Congratulations!"

Mr. Dou followed Lu Hou on horseback.

Lu Hou dismounted, pulled out the dagger from his waist, squatted down and dug on the ground.

Soon, he dug up a sweet potato.

Sweet potato is half a kilogram in weight, so it is very important to hold it in your hand.

Lu Hou took a dagger, wiped his clothes twice and began to peel.

After removing the skin, Lu Hou bit it off.

Raw sweet potato, crisp, eat in the mouth very bite head.

I eat too much and my mouth is a little dry.

The family brought the kettle.

Lu Hou poured two mouthfuls, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "sweet potato is really a good thing. In such a dry land, corn can't grow anything, but sweet potato can be planted. The output is not low. With this thing, next year's military food will not be a problem. "

Mr. Dou said: "there are merchants in the south of the Yangtze River who have bought thousands of hectares of sandy land in the northwest to grow sweet potatoes and brew sweet potato wine. It's said that the income is not bad. I've made a lot of money. "

The Duke of Lu snorted, "the imperial court ordered prohibition of drinking, but the prohibition order was in vain. The minister in the court takes the lead in drinking, and this prohibition is a joke. "

"People love wine, so it's very difficult to ban alcohol completely. Brewing sweet potato wine, compared with wheat and rice wine more affordable, but also save food

Luhou dug another sweet potato, peeled it and ate it directly.

He said, "sweet potatoes are a good thing. They are full. Tell me to make as many dried sweet potatoes as possible this year. Make sure there is enough dry food for next year. "

Mr. Dou should go down.

"Would you like more jerky?" he asked

Lu Hou nodded, and then said, "in a word, whether it's beef jerky or sweet potato jerky, it has something to do with Madame Zhao. This woman is not simple. At that time, she spent a lot of money to make beef jerky. Guess, did she expect it? In those years, all efforts were made to prepare for the war next year? "

Mr. Dou was silent for a moment. "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Madame Zhao is far sighted and wise."

Lu Hou raised his eyebrows and laughed, "it's a pity that my son was useless. He didn't marry his wife in those years, but asked Liu Zhao to take the lead. Liu Zhao's life, also married this matter, unique vision. The rest of the time, that's it. "

Mr. Dou reminded: "the Marquis should be careful of his highness. I think the prince is thinking about his military power."

The Marquis Lu laughed, "there are so many people who care about the military power of this marquis. When can I be afraid of it. I want to see if he has the ability to take military power from my Lord. "

Mr. Dou was not so optimistic, "the northwest Dadu governor's office was established, and Li Bingming became the governor of Dadu, with Chen Zhuangshi at his side. Chen Zhuangshi, who came from Shanhe academy, was a member of the imperial concubine. Obviously, Li Bingming could not be successfully recovered without the help of his wife and the eldest prince.

I even suspect that Li Bingming has taken refuge with his Royal Highness the great prince. Even if he did not, the two sides also cooperated with each other. The great prince's intention to promote the establishment of the governor's office in Northwest China was obviously sinister. The Marquis had to guard against it. "

Lu Hou said, "Li Bingming is really a bit annoying. His majesty sent him to the northwest. Anyone with a brain knows that his Majesty's move is deliberately aimed at this marquis. Mr. Dou, what do you think I should do? "

Mr. Dou suggested: "the Marquis may as well hold a banquet to entertain Mr. Li, and feel his emptiness and reality."

Lu Hou shook his head. "It's unnecessary to hold a banquet. I don't have the time to treat people like snakes. Mr. Dou took a trip to the governor's office for the Marquis and weighed Li Bingming's weight. Chen Zhuangshi, who can communicate with each other a lot. Young people have ambition in their hearts. I help him realize his ambition. "

"I'll go to the governor's office tomorrow. Will the general go with him? "

"He's going too!"

The general in Mr. Dou's mouth was about Peimeng, the eldest son of marquis Lu.

……

After buying the gift, Mr. Dou and Pei Meng went to Dudu mansion together.

Gu Zhen was also among the entourage.

He was a little excited.

Chen Zhuangshi is a person who came out of Shanhe Academy. When he saw Shanhe academy, he was just like meeting his own family. He was looking forward to it.

After several hours of galloping, the party finally came to the governor's office.

Li Bingming went out to welcome him.

He specially arranged a banquet to greet a group of people.

Chen Zhuang is really at the table.

Mr. Li and Mr. Dou were both scholars. During the dinner, they chatted about romantic and snowy nights. They were famous prostitutes in brothels, but they didn't talk about business.

Pei Meng didn't care. He was drinking wine and observing the people of Dudu mansion.

Gu Gu is not at ease.

On a snowy night, he is really sleepy.

He winked at Chen Zhuangshi.If it wasn't for the wrong time and place, he really wanted to take Chen Zhuangshi to the roadside stall outside to drink and gossip.

It was late at night when the banquet was over.

The party settled down in the Dudu mansion guest house.

Pei Meng asked Dou casually, "how?"

Mr. Dou shook his head. "Old fox."

A night of drinking and chatting is not enough.

Pei Meng thought for a moment, "I'll try again tomorrow, but I can't. I don't mind visiting the governor's office at night."

"Don't mess around, general. Li Bingming's side, can't help but master guard. "

"I have my own sense of propriety."

……

The next morning.

Chen Zhuangshi took the initiative to visit the guest house.

"Yes, Mr. Dou."

"Chen Xiaoyou is very kind."

"I still remember when I went to Xiliang with Mr. Dou. The scenery on the road is still unforgettable."

Mr. Dou said with a smile, "who would have thought that we would meet again in the governor's office in the northwest. I'm still the same old man, but Chen Xiaoyou is not what he used to be. "

"Mr. Dou said falsely that the student in the governor's office was just a small man who ran errands and did errands."

"It's too modest. Chen Xiaoyou was able to attend the banquet last night, which shows that Mr. Li is very dependent on you. "

Chen Zhuangshi shook his head and waved his hand, "I'm all stained with the light of the Academy. Mr. Dou doesn't know. Mr. Li once taught in Shanhe Academy for a period of time. "

"I heard a word or two about it."

Chen Zhuangshi appeared embarrassed, "it is because of this relationship between teachers and students that Mr. Li looks at students differently. To say how much attention is paid, it is not. I can't even touch anything serious. The most important thing I do is pour tea, run a leg and pass a message. "

Mr. Dou did not engage in twists and turns, and directly asked, "do you feel aggrieved by Chen Xiaoyou?"

Chen Zhuangshi smile, "at the beginning will feel aggrieved, a long time, do not feel aggrieved."

"Why is that?"

"The students are lack of experience. Before that, they have never been a poor person in Yamen. Mr. Li didn't rashly arrange errands for me. It was also for my good. "

"Oh

Mr. Dou's face is meaningful.

"Chen Xiaoyou can think so. It's not a waste of Mr. Li's cultivation."

"I am very grateful to Mr. Li."

Mr. Dou began to laugh, full of deep meaning.

"Does Chen Xiaoyou know the news of hopeless master?"

"I don't know! Does Mr. Dou know, can you tell me? I miss master hopeless very much. "

"I know a little about hopeless master. But I want to see the governor in a hurry. We might as well make an appointment for a detailed discussion. "

"Good!" Chen Zhuangshi readily agreed.

……

Mr. Dou and his party stayed in Dadu Prefecture for three days.

They were busy probing into the actual situation of the governor's office, and the people of the governor's office were also probing into the details of the northwest army.

On the surface, the two sides were in peace, fighting each other several times in private.

Even a dull man like Gu can feel the strong smell of gunpowder between the two sides.

He was caught in the middle, very embarrassed.

After returning to Jinzhou, he will complain with Pei man.

"I don't know what to do."

Pei man advised him, "you just have to do your duty. Don't worry about how the people above fight. "

Gu was curious, "aren't you worried? That's the Lord. It's your father. "

"If you are worried about everything, from my mother to my sister-in-law to me, I will have a better life. Come on, don't be bitter. I'm not worried. What do you have to worry about? "

Gu Gu was wronged, "you didn't see the two sides at daggers drawn. If you don't agree with each other, you have to draw a knife."

"Is the knife drawn?" Pei man asked.

Gu Gu's teacher shook his head, "almost drew a knife."

Pei man disliked it very much, "since you haven't drawn the knife, what can you worry about. As a soldier, you should be used to it if you don't pull out three or five swords. As long as there are no dead people, it's nothing. "

Gu Zhen admired Pei man's optimism and strength.

Pei man laughed. "If you were born in Pei's family, you would be the same. Pei family from small to big, are like this. As long as we don't die, it doesn't matter to us. "

Gu Gu couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid the two sides will fight one day."

"Even if there is a fight one day, it's not up to you to worry about it. That's what the people above should worry about. "

"I heard from Mr. Dou that his majesty set up the governor's office in Northwest China in order to control the northwest army and seize the military power in the hands of marquis."

"More and more people have taken military power, and no one has been successful for so many years. As long as my father is alive, no one can take away the military power of the northwest army. "

Pei man's tone is very firm, full of pride and pride.Anyone who has a strong and reliable father like Lu Hou will feel proud and proud.

Gu Gu said cautiously: "Mr. Dou also said that Mr. Li could successfully return to serve as the governor of Northwest China without the help of younger sister Jiu."

Pei man is stunned and seems to be surprised.

Gu Gu asked in a low voice, "are you still not worried? Don't worry about my sister fighting Lu Hou? "

Pei man fiercely glared at Gu Yao, "such an important thing, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Gu's heart is weak.

Pei man frowned and sat on the chair. "Is Mr. Li really supported by Madame Zhao?"

"It is said to be so."

Trouble!

Pei man frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision, "this is too complicated for us to worry about. Don't think about it. If you want to fight, you can't die. "
