Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 408 Behind the Scenes

Fu Wan was furious after losing his beloved son. He pointed his halberd at Lu Lingqi and said, "Take down this traitorous daughter with me!"

However, as he finished speaking, the surrounding Forbidden Army made no move, because Lu Lingqi had already shown a gold medal in her hand. It was the golden order given by Lu Bu to Lu Yong. This order could mobilize all the troops in Chang'an City, including the Forbidden Army.

Although these forbidden troops are under the command of the two sons of the Fu family, they are first of all Lu Bu's soldiers. They were sent to the palace as forbidden troops after receiving unified training. On weekdays, they usually give priority to military orders from superiors, but when Lu Bu's golden order appeared, For a moment, any superior officer had to give way to Lu Bu's golden order.

In a sense, this golden order can represent Lu Bu, but it is precisely because of this that Lu Bu will not give this golden order easily.

However, the guards behind Lu Lingqi rushed forward quickly and captured Fu Wan.

"Dad!" Fu Jun was very anxious when he saw this. He gritted his teeth and looked at Fu Wan and said, "Quickly go!"

After saying that, she slapped her horse, wielded her sword, and headed straight towards Lu Lingqi, hoping to give Fu Wan a chance to escape.

"Huh~" Lu Lingqi flicked the spear in her hand, and the spear shot out of the air and penetrated into Fu Jun's chest in front of Fu Jun's stunned eyes. Before she even got close, she was stabbed off the horse by a spear.

Naturally, Fu Wan could not escape and was quickly captured by the guards.

"Your Majesty is frightened!" Lu Lingqi got off her horse and saluted Liu Xie.

Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Thanks to Lingqi, it's just the head of the country..."

"I can only hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment. Lingqi cannot ask more questions about these matters. Please forgive me." Lu Lingqi said politely.

"How could I blame you?" Liu Xie waved his hand. He and Lu Lingqi had grown up together. Looking at the heroic Lu Lingqi now, Liu Xie could only sigh and said: "I'm going back to the palace first. , Today was originally a happy event for the Taiwei’s family, but something like this happened, and it’s my fault.”

"Your Majesty!" Lu Lingqi didn't care about Fu Shou. This was a matter of the harem, and she, the daughter of a foreign minister, couldn't interfere.

Liu Xie glanced at Fu Shou who was slumped in the carriage, groaned heavily, jumped out of the car and walked towards the palace.

"Madam, the rebellious general at the city gate has been captured!" Not long after, Zhang Hu rushed over on horseback and said to Lu Lingqi: "But he did it too quickly, and some people hiding in the dark were not caught in time."

"There's no rush." ​​Lu Lingqi got on her horse, glanced at Fuwan and said, "With him here, who is involved in today's matter will naturally know, and the person who got it will be sent to prison first. Today is Yong'er's happy day after all. , it’s not appropriate to see too much blood.”

Zhang Hu nodded and frowned: "Have you noticed, madam, today's rebellion..."

Lu Lingqi looked back at him.

"Too simple?" Zhang Hu asked.

Lu Lingqi frowned lightly. It was indeed as Zhang Hu said. This rebellion seemed a bit childish. Of course, these people in the court could not actually make any big waves. The entire Guanzhong belonged to his Lu family. He wanted to control Chang'an City. Making trouble, it seems good to be able to create a little splash today, but no matter how you think about it, it feels like these people are deliberately seeking death.

"You go and recover, I'll ask!" Lu Lingqi looked at Zhang Hu and said.

"Farewell." Zhang Hu nodded. In fact, we were not so friendly before, but Lu Lingqi married someone, and Zhang Hu also married Xu Yun. Unknowingly, they began to become polite and distant.

After Lu Lingqi watched Zhang Hu leave, she turned her horse's head but did not go back home. She went straight to Jia Xu's place.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jia Xu was Lu Bu's sidekick, the kind who only ate and did not do anything. Just because he joined Lu Bu early, he became a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but Lu Lingqi knew that this uncle Jia could win the trust of her father. The Rigoletto is so simple. Unless he is like Dian Wei, there are not many people who can chat with his father.

Jia Xu claimed to be ill, but when Lu Lingqi came to visit, Jia Xu could not refuse to receive her.

Listening to Lu Lingqi's Xu Shu, Jia Xu had a headache. If he had known it, he would have followed her to the front line. What kind of nonsense is this?

After thinking about it, Jia Xu looked at Lu Lingqi and said, "There must be someone planning this behind the scenes."

"Does uncle know what he is planning?" Lu Lingqi looked at Jia Xu and asked.

"To give the Central Plains a chance to breathe." Jia Xu carefully recalled the information he had learned these days. Basically, he could see through what the other party was planning, but... he couldn't break it.

"What does it have to do with the Central Plains?" Lu Lingqi asked in shock. Even if the other party could send the emperor to the Central Plains, Lu Lingqi believed that it would only allow her father to send troops to the Central Plains faster. How could this be a chance to breathe? This is a way to die!

"Things in this world are not all straight forward, and what people want is not for the emperor to go to the Central Plains." After serving tea to Lu Lingqi, Jia Xu said, "Lingqi has nothing to do with this matter."

"Uncle~" Lu Lingqi looked at Jia Xu: "Even if he doesn't care, uncle should tell Lingqi what the planner wants? How can we get a breathing space for the Central Plains?"

"Of course these people will never succeed, but their demise means that there are fewer people supporting your majesty." Jia Xu sighed.

"Father must not have any intention of arrogance." Lu Lingqi frowned and said. She could probably feel what her father was thinking. If he really had the intention of usurping the throne, he would not wait until today.

"That's the problem. Just like your Majesty doesn't want what happened today, the lord doesn't want to overstep, but there are people who want the lord to overstep. These people may not be enemies, they may even be generals who have followed the lord for many years, that is, the lord can suppress it. Come on, if you change someone else, I'm afraid it won't be like today." Jia Xu said with a smile.

Lu Lingqi nodded in understanding, looked at Jia Xu and said, "So, the people behind the scenes are using this to weaken the people around His Majesty, in order to make him want his father..."

At the end, Lu Lingqi didn't say any more. At this moment, she completely understood. The person behind the plan probably also knew that her father was unwilling to seize the throne for him, so he deliberately used this matter to weaken the imperial party, and then expand the number of people under Lu Bu's command. If so, as long as his father has no thoughts in this regard, he must come back to stabilize the situation. In this way, in disguise, it can give Zhongyuan a breathing space.

Jia Xu nodded silently, which probably meant this.

"Uncle, you said..." Lu Lingqi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jia Xu and said, "Father, will he be willing...to go further?"

Lu Bu is now ranked among the three princes, with overwhelming power. If he goes further, it seems that he will only be the emperor.

"How can things in life go as planned?" Jia Xu said with a smile: "Sometimes when you get to that point, there will always be power to push you away. This plan is said to be a conspiracy, but it can also be said to be a conspiracy. It’s not about weapons, it’s about people’s hearts.”

Lu Lingqi frowned slightly. Her father had brought peace to the world, and now it seemed that there was no need to doubt that if there were another setback on the front, would the already-certain success be ruined? Will his father's ten-year plan be ruined?

Seemingly sensing Lu Lingqi's worries, Jia Xu said with a smile: "Lingqi, don't worry about your lord. In this battle... no matter how we fight, my lord will never lose."

As a counselor, he shouldn't say such absolute words, but Jia Xu couldn't think of any reason for failure. Even if the opponent's plan succeeded and forced Lu Bu back to Chang'an, as long as Lu Bu didn't act stupid, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Gao Shun continued to attack the Central Plains. Even without Lu Bu in charge, Cao Cao would not have a chance to make a comeback. Even if he occasionally suffered one or two defeats, as far as logistics was concerned, Lu Bu's sheer consumption could kill Cao Cao.

Not to mention foul weapons such as Vulcan Cannon, Thunder God Crossbow, Detonating Thunder, and Sky-shaking Thunder, the convenience brought to Lu Bu by the two railway tracks in Luoyang and Nanyang alone is really great.

Now Lu Bu has started building railway tracks from Hanoi to western Liaoning. Jia Xu doesn't know what he is doing, but he knows that Lu Bu must have a reason for this move.

Even if Cao Cao is really given some time to prepare, can Cao Cao make a comeback? These things in Guanzhong were built step by step by Lu Bu from scratch for more than ten years. Even if he told Cao Cao how to do it, he wouldn't be able to do it without ten or twenty years of preparation, let alone the Tai Chi Furnace now giving you the blueprints. They may not even be able to understand it, let alone do it.

Although Lu Lingqi has practiced martial arts in recent years, since she got married, the focus of her life has begun to shift towards her family. She has seen Tai Chi cars, but she has only heard of the weapons in Beigong City. How powerful they are, she has never seen them live. There is no intuitive concept.

"Lingqi understands." Lu Lingqi nodded, looked at the sky, stood up and said to Jia Xu: "I have been out for a while, Lingqi needs to go back and take a look, so I say goodbye."

"Be careful, the young master is already old after all." Jia Xu looked at Lu Lingqi and said.

Lu Lingqi nodded silently and left without looking back. This time, Jia Xu did not get up to see him off. It was not that he was looking down on him, but his relationship with Lu Lingqi was different. He was really here to see his nephew, and Lu Yong For Jia Xu, he is the son of his lord.

It sounds like there is no difference, but in fact the difference is huge.

When Lu Lingqi returned to Taiwei's Mansion, the concubinage was almost over, people had taken Lu's family back, and most of the guests had dispersed. When she saw Lu Yong, she was still drunk, but when there was no one else, she immediately regained consciousness.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Lingqi handed the token to Lu Yong and asked in a deep voice.

"Sister, why are you asking these questions?" Lu Yong took back the golden order and looked at Lu Lingqi in confusion upon hearing this.

"What happened this time... was designed by someone to drive a wedge between father and His Majesty. Don't fall into the trap." Lu Lingqi sat down, took the tea handed by Xia Zhu and took a sip.

"Sister, don't worry." Lu Yong nodded: "What happened today is thanks to my sister's intervention."

"The mob, even if I don't take action, they can't make waves." Lu Lingqi shook her head and said: "That's all, the matter is over. I will go to Luoyang with my mother and the others in two days, and the matter of moving the capital has been completed. That’ll do.”

"Understood!" Lu Yong nodded without saying much. After sending Lu Lingqi away, he asked someone to summon Sima Yi.

"Sima Yi has met the young master." Sima Yi came to Lu Yong and bowed.

"Um."
