The people outside the gate of Su Mansion were confused.
The eunuch who announced the decree ran faster than a rabbit. Su Lu must have offended someone.
Magistrate Tang was full of doubts. Su Lu didn't seem like someone who could offend the eunuch who announced the decree. Besides, the princess was still holding the battle inside. She had a good relationship with Su Yun, so she wouldn't want to see Su Lu offend the eunuch who announced the decree.
ah.
He Wu gave He Chen a kick: "Go, follow up and see what's wrong with Lao Bai's grandson, and whether Su Lu has offended him. If you really want to offend him, use money to beat Lao Bai, this old turtle, if you don't do it,
Common sense plays the cards."
He Chen looked reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey He Wu and followed him obscenely.
He Wu walked up the steps and clasped his fists at Su Lu in congratulations: "Congratulations, Founder of the Kingdom, for being promoted to Viscount in one fell swoop. I, Mr. He, have contributed a lot to this. You have to treat me. Next time you share the money, I want to take the lion's share."
Magistrate Tang walked up with a look of disgust on his face. What penny counts for the majority? Just like bandits, eunuchs are indeed unreliable. However, for a new rich man like Su Lu, he must have a good relationship with him.
"Sir Sir Su, your judgment on that day was indeed correct. It was not a gold medal for a junior monk, but a gold medal for a great warrior. Sir Su is a man of extraordinary talents. He killed the great warrior of Thule in one fell swoop. This is the most powerful horse in the imperial dynasty."
."
Su Lulian said he didn't dare. It was because of good luck and the hard work of his brothers that he defeated Thule.
Thinking of the young man who died, Su Lu asked Magistrate Tang in a low voice:
"Sir Tang, what kind of official position is this senior attaché in Tule and how important is it?"
Magistrate Tang twirled his beard, pondered for a while and said:
"The Little Fushu is the leader of the Tule Fu Li and the String Controllers. The number of the troops he controls is between 3,000 and 8,000. The big Fushu is higher. His power is equal to that of the Ten Thousand Captains. After all,
The country has not figured out who is bigger."
Su Lu was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. Damn it, he was even more arrogant than the captain of ten thousand men. This... I was so lucky back then. I only met a great sergeant with fifty people.
Su Lu suddenly thought of the old man next to the strangely dressed Great Master. He was so cooperative in the first place because he probably knew that the Great Master was dead, and he had no hope of returning to Thule. However, he never heard anything about the old man later.
I don’t know if Magistrate Tang knows about it.
"Why is there no news about the old man from Thule who spoke Chinese who was captured at the beginning? Was he also taken to the capital?"
Magistrate Tang twirled his beard and looked surprised: "We captured an old man who could speak Chinese? Why didn't I see him? Lord Su, please tell me."
Su Luxin said that it seemed that Old Man Tule had been hidden, and Magistrate Tang had not seen him at all.
He Wu pulled Su Lu away from Magistrate Tang's position and said seriously:
"Sir Sir Su, I think we still need to talk about dividing the money. I don't want the honors. You must give me more money."
In an imperceptible way, He Wu separated Su Lu and Magistrate Tang, causing Magistrate Tang's several questions to go silent.
Su Yun and Li Qing each carried a bag. Su Ping and several guards followed behind in fear, as if they wanted to protect them but didn't know how to protect them.
"Su Duwei is happy to advance to the throne and establish his country. This is a great joy. There will be flowing water banquets in the mansion in the next few days. Welcome to come and enjoy it."
Li Qing's face was full of joy and heroic spirit.
"This is my brother's wedding gift for being promoted to a noble title. Please don't be polite."
After Su Yun finished speaking, he threw the wedding coins in his hand out with a bang. The wedding coins scattered spread out in an arc, perfectly covering the crowd watching the fun at the front door. Everyone had a wedding coin, no more, no less.
Li Qing also raised his hand, and a handful of wedding coins flew out and landed in the crowd. Everyone watching the excitement had one in their hands.
Lao Wang and Dani stood at the back, mumbling something.
Dani also grabbed a handful of wedding money in her hand and was counting it happily. When Su Yun and Li Qing went out just now, each of them gave her a handful. Hearing her father's nagging, Dani curiously joined in.
passed.
"If I had been a guard with Lord Su when we were at Yiniu Valley, I would have a title now."
"It's good to be a guard with Lord Su."
"I want to be a guard"
"I want to be a guard"
…
Dani turned away and ignored this useless old man.
After scattering the wedding money, the crowd dispersed, and the news of Su Lu's promotion spread throughout Beiyang City.
Old Dongzhuang outside Xicheng City, in the courtyard of Rich Master Dong.
The little maid rushed into the yard like a flying bird, chirping like a bird announcing good news:
"Miss, Miss, my uncle has been promoted to a noble title. He is now the founder of the country. The old people say that this is the title of the fifth rank. Those who are given a house are the only ones in the Xuanfu."
Dong Ling raised his hand and knocked on the little maid's forehead, with a blush on his face:
"Damn girl, what are you talking about? My uncle and aunt, I don't know, I thought I was married."
The little maid stuck out her tongue and said with a smile:
"It's almost done. I heard from the master that when the second master comes back, I will ask the second master to go to the Su Mansion to make peace. The second master is the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, and my uncle is the captain of the patrol camp, so he will naturally agree.
."
Dong Ling was surprised and looked at the little maid:
"Why is it that my second uncle is the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army and Su Duwei is the captain of the patrol camp, so he can agree?"
The little maid looked serious:
"Miss, you don't know. I heard from Tudun'er that their camp has a mountain of military orders. If the captain has an order, he has to step through the mountain of swords and fire in front of him. Since this is the case, the second master is older than the uncle, so the uncle will naturally have to do it.
Listen, if my uncle listens to the second master, he will become my uncle."
"As much as you think."
Dong Ling flicked the little maid's forehead. Thinking of Su Lu, she couldn't help but feel melancholy again.
The front line was troubled. The second uncle was tied up by the war and could not return home. The marriage was delayed again and again. However, seeing that Su Lu's honors were getting bigger and bigger, and his duties were getting heavier and heavier, I was afraid that his marriage would become more and more difficult.
It's hard to handle.
…
the next day
In the Nanguan Camp, Li Qing was dressed in a white cloak and had his hair tied up with a golden crown, making him look even more heroic.
Su Lu yawned and sat on a large cart with grain piled under his butt. Looking at Li Qing and Su Yun in front of him, he waved casually:
"You guys go back, Xiaoyun, you can just show off the flowing water banquet. I have ordered Guo Dashan to guard the door for you."
Li Qing waved his hand: "Don't worry about things at home. As long as I'm here, I will take care of it for you. These grains and grasses must be transferred to the Beizheng camp as soon as possible. The three thousand stones of grains and grasses you transported a few days ago have been taken away by the east and west camps.
Now, you have to do it as soon as possible this time."
"Be careful on the way. I received a military report that more powerful Thule people came to Erlong Mountain this time. Erlong Mountain lost to you last time because all their elites were taken away by the Thule people and went to do other things."
It’s a matter of fact, this time the Thule people have brought back all the elites.”
When Su Lu heard this, he immediately felt uneasy. It sounded very dangerous.
Su Ping was riding a horse, shouting and saying:
"Don't worry, sir. The bandits in Beizheng are no match for our patrols and battalions. We fought from south to north without encountering an enemy. Even Thule's elite thousand-man team can't do it, let alone a few bandits who have settled down."
Su Lu impatiently patted the driver of the car:
"Okay, let's go. Lao Fan is still waiting for our food and grass. He might be jumping around and cursing now."
The guard who was opening the way urged the horses under him, and the grain team slowly started to move, heading north along the official road.
Li Qing looked at the food team going away with a slightly disappointed look on his face. He had dressed up carefully today, but Su Lu didn't seem to see it.
"Miss Su, may I ask if Lord Su is still in the camp?"
A clear voice suddenly attracted Li Qing's attention.
