Ever since he killed Duo Muyi and the second Hu Ren prince, Lu Wei has been working hard, waiting for the Hu Ren's revenge at any time.
The imperial court's campaign against Jiangxia rebels failed continuously. The emperor issued several edicts to Liangzhou, asking Lu Wei to separate his troops and join the imperial army to attack the Jiangxia King's rebel army.
Lu Weidu refused on the grounds that the barbarians from the grassland could assemble their troops at any time and attack Liangzhou on a large scale, and Liangzhou had too much time to take care of itself. However, until the end of November, ice and snow began to rage in the grassland and the rivers froze, so there was no large-scale attack on the barbarians.
action.
The emperor and the prince were very angry at Lu Wei's refusal to fight the King of Jiangxia. However, they were afraid that Lu Wei would be disturbed and cause unrest in Liangzhou, so the barbarians took advantage of the situation and held back for the time being.
Several waves of spies sent by Lu Wei to the grassland have returned. Mr. Lin and others analyzed the intelligence and situation and felt that most of the Hu emperor was really ill and had no extra energy to take revenge on Daxia at the moment.
But this is not a reason for everyone in the Liangzhou military camp to relax. Daxia has internal and external troubles, and the string in Lu Wei's mind is always tense.
If the Hu people are allowed to break through the defense line at this time, there is a war in Daxia. Once the Hu people enter Daxia, the tragedy of more than ten years ago will definitely happen again.
Then he will be a criminal in history.
Zhang Yuqing has not been idle either. She has started preparing for the first Lantern Festival in Liangzhou, which will be held in the coming spring.
Daxia has the Red Lotus Sect in the south, green forests and thieves in the east, Yizhou in the southwest and Youzhou in the northeast with high mountains and lofty mountains, sparsely populated areas, and gatherings of foreign races. The slightly better places are currently at war with the King of Jiangxia and the imperial army.
Throughout the entire Great Xia, only Liangzhou, which was considered a wild and dangerous place in the past, was the most stable.
In addition, in order to attract businessmen, Zhang Yuqing offered generous conditions. All merchants who do business in Liangzhou will be exempted from half of the tax. If there is no crime or crime within three years, the tax preferential period will be extended for another three years. For a time, Liangzhou became a gathering place for merchants from all over the country, and a large number of commodities and materials were transferred and traded in Liangzhou.
During this Lantern Festival, Zhang Yuqing put out an advertisement for the world's best lantern, promoting that Liangzhou would make the world's largest lantern, and there would also be a selection event for the beauties of the Twelve Flower Goddess.
As the Lantern Festival approaches, all the inns in Liangzhou are full, and even the nearby farmers’ houses have been booked out by merchants who arrived late.
Zhang Yuqing also temporarily moved from Baochuan to Liangzhou City with his people to host the Lantern Festival.
At this time, Zhang Yuqian brought Zhang Yucheng to Liangzhou.
After hearing the report from his subordinates that the Zhang brothers were coming, Zhang Yuqing's first reaction was to look at Lu Wei.
At that time, Lu Weizheng and Zhang Yuqing had breakfast, and after serving a bowl of porridge to Zhang Yuqing, they turned around and frowned and asked, "What are they doing here?"
Fang Mo said: "The eldest young master of the Zhang family has now obtained an official position. What kind of deputy lieutenant is he? He serves in the Imperial Guard."
"As a court official, how can he leave the capital at will?" Lu Wei didn't want to see the Zhang brothers, "Go and tell them to return to the capital as soon as possible after watching the lanterns."
Zhang Yuqing lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth. He had come all the way here, could Lu Wei dismiss it with just one sentence?
Those two people didn't wait for the comfortable and prosperous capital, but ran to Liangzhou to see the lanterns at the risk of being killed by bandits along the way?
"Master, don't you see them?" Fang Mo asked.
Lu Wei waved his hands with a cold face.
Missing!
I have another reason to be jealous after meeting my little wife!
After dinner, the two of them walked out of the yard together. When they were getting on the carriage, Zhang Yuqing suddenly asked: "Are you really not going to meet me?"
Lu Wei was angry and funny. He put his arms around Zhang Yuqing's shoulders and said in her ear: "When Luo Danyang comes to Liangzhou, I will go see him and the others will not see him!"
Zhang Yuqing couldn't help laughing and glanced at him, "It's not over yet!"
Lu Wei was so relieved by his wife's glance that he bent down to pick up Zhang Yuqing and carried her directly to the carriage.
The servants waiting around all turned around in unison, as if they didn't see it. They were obviously very used to the intimacy between the adult and the lady from time to time.
Zhang Yuqian and Zhang Yucheng were hiding nearby, stunned and unable to believe their eyes.
In the past, Lu Wei was such a cold person. Let alone being intimate with women, he almost never even smiled.
The carriage sparkled away, and the two of them could still vaguely hear Zhang Yuqing's laughter coming from the carriage.
Zhang Yuqian said angrily: "Brother Lu, how come he has such a good relationship with that woman?"
"They are husband and wife..." Zhang Yucheng mumbled.
Zhang Yuqian snorted coldly and said confidently: "What kind of couple! The person who was originally engaged to Brother Lu was our biological sister! A country guy married Brother Lu because of his bad luck. If it weren't for our Zhang family, she would be able to have this
Waiting for good fortune?"
"The problem now is that Brother Lu doesn't see us!" Zhang Yucheng said worriedly.
Zhang Yuqian said angrily: "It must be that dirt-legged broom star who said bad things about us in front of Brother Lu and stopped him from seeing us!"
Zhang Yucheng didn't dare to say anything, and Lu Wei was not Zhang Yuqing's son. Did Zhang Yuqing see anyone he didn't want to see? It was clearly Lu Wei who saw through their purpose of coming to Liangzhou and deliberately didn't see them.
"What should we do?" Zhang Yucheng asked.
Zhang Yuqian put his hands on his hips and shouted: "Let's look for that broom... that Zhang Yuqing, if she doesn't see us, we will tell so many people in Liangzhou how she disobeyed her grandmother, beat her brother, and was unfilial and unjust! She is now the controlling wife.
, How can there be any flaw in her reputation! If she is not good, Brother Lu can divorce her!"
Arriving at the street of the Lantern Festival, Zhang Yuqing got off the carriage first and inspected the venue of the Lantern Festival to make sure there was nothing wrong. Lu Wei then went to the military camp in Liangzhou.
Hearing the servant embarrassingly complaining about Zhang Yuqian's "harsh words", Zhang Yuqing almost burst out laughing.
"Lu Wei clearly doesn't want to see them, so why am I the bad guy again?" Zhang Yuqing said.
Du Jingyi took a step forward, "Madam doesn't want to see them, so I'm going to send them away."
There was a sarcastic smile at the corner of Zhang Yuqing's mouth, and he shook his head slightly, "It's not me they want to see. Since they have come to this point, they will be sent to Lu Wei to save me from becoming a villain again for no reason."

Let Lu Wei handle Lu Wei's matter and don't bother her.
Du Jingyi handed over his hands, turned and left.
Zhang Yuqian thought that Zhang Yuqing would be so frightened that he came to receive them. Who knew that Zhang Yuqing didn't wait, but a smiling and kind man named Du, who claimed to be the manager of the Tongzhi Mansion, came and said he was taking them to see Mr. Lu.<
/p>
"Let me tell you!" Zhang Yuqian proudly showed off to Zhang Yucheng, "She is a country girl with nothing. If she loses her reputation, how can she still be the controlling wife? You can control her with just one word... Oops.
!"
Zhang Yuqian's feet staggered, and he fell to the ground, his mouth full of mud.
"Brother!" Zhang Yucheng quickly helped Zhang Yuqian up and patted the mud on his body.
Du Jingyi looked up with a smile, and Zhong He, who was holding a slingshot on the wall, smiled and immediately disappeared.
"How is your distinguished guest? Oh, why are you so careless? How should I explain to Mr. Lu?" Du Jingyi looked worried and shocked, "This injury is a bit serious! Why don't you go see Mr. Lu today?" p>
Zhang Yuqian took a few mouthfuls, spit out the dirt in his mouth, and shouted: "I'm fine! Nothing is wrong at all! Take me to see Mr. Lu quickly!"
"That's okay!" Du Jingyi said with a smile.
Lu Wei's military camp was still a little far away from Liangzhou City, and it took a few people more than half an hour's carriage ride to get there.
When he heard that Du Jingyi said that these two people had found Zhang Yuqing, Lu Wei immediately darkened his face and said, "Bring them in!"
If he doesn't see you again, these two people will probably harass Zhang Yuqing again.
Under the attention of all the soldiers, Zhang Yuqian and Zhang Yucheng entered the Liangzhou camp tremblingly.
Lu Wei sat on the main seat and looked at the two of them.
After not seeing each other for nearly two years, Zhang Yuqian and Zhang Yucheng have both grown taller and are very different from before.
When they met, Zhang Yuqian looked at the tall and handsome Lu Wei and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Compared with before, the invisible pressure on Lu Wei demonstrates his current power and status.
At first, everyone in the Zhang family thought that Lu Wei was going to be doomed after being sent to Liangzhou to serve as a soldier by the emperor, and that he might die tragically at the hands of a barbarian in a few days. Who knew that not only did Lu Wei not die, but he also became the commander-in-chief?
The chair became a feudal official!
Zhang Yuqian couldn't help feeling regretful. If he had known that Lu Wei was lucky, he shouldn't have married Zhang Yuqing to Lu Wei. He had to find a way to make Lu Wei wait two years to marry Zhang Yushu.
"Brother Lu!" Zhang Yucheng shouted with joy.
Compared to Zhang Yuqian, he is less thoughtful. In the past two years, he has heard about how powerful Lu Wei was in Liangzhou and how he defeated the barbarians. He is full of respect for Lu Wei.
Zhang Yuqian was also very excited, and he still called him the old one, "brother-in-law!"
Lu Wei frowned, but when he thought that Zhang Yuqing was also a girl from the Zhang family, Zhang Yuqian's cousin, Zhang Yuqian's brother-in-law made sense, so he did not correct him.
"Brother-in-law!" Zhang Yuqian walked up to Lu Wei eagerly, "We haven't seen each other for two years!"
Lu Wei waved his subordinates around him to leave. After all, these two people were nominally Zhang Yuqing's family members. If he was not polite enough to these two people, it would be inevitable for someone to speculate on his relationship with Zhang Yuqing.
Zhang Yuqian moved a chair and sat in front of Lu Wei. He first praised Liangzhou for its good governance, peace and prosperity, and then praised the good atmosphere in the military camp and the good training of the soldiers.
"The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. You two can go back after seeing the lanterns. There are many things going on in Liangzhou, so I won't entertain you." Lu Wei said coldly.
They are not relatives with whom we are close enough to stay overnight.
Moreover, the relationship between Zhang Yuqian and Zhang Yuqing can be described as "bad".
"Brother-in-law, we didn't come to Liangzhou to see the lanterns!" Zhang Yuqian shouted.
Lu Wei's eyes were extremely cold, "Then you shouldn't come to Liangzhou! Wouldn't it be better to be a relative of the wealthy emperor in the capital?"
Zhang Yuqian felt aggrieved, "Brother-in-law, why do you even look down on me?!"
Lu Wei ignored him.
"Brother-in-law, we, including my sister, are having a hard time in the capital!" Zhang Yuqian said sadly, "On the surface, the prince treats my sister well, but in fact he just beats me up and scolds him whenever he wants. He doesn't treat me at all.
