Chapter 158: Odds of Winning [Monthly Ticket Plus]

Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Lu Qing meant by "good".

If it weren't for the fact that his personal soldier's knife cut through his outer robe, and Situ Jing accidentally saw the golden soft armor underneath through the tear, thus becoming aware of it, then the true identity of Lu Qing, the "Golden-faced Censor", would still be a mystery.

For Lu Qing, he naturally would not want others to easily know that he is the mysterious "Golden-faced Censor", but if the other party is Situ Jing, it would be the exact opposite.

Not to mention that Situ Jing comes from a family of generals, and his father and brother are both upright and loyal military heroes. There is absolutely no doubt about his loyalty or bravery, so there is no need to worry that he will find out about this and take the opportunity to plot something.

Just talking about the purpose of Lu Qing's trip, in addition to being ordered to intervene in dealing with the many strange things in the Lizhou camp, he also wanted to use Situ Jing to pull the Situ family into the Lu Dynasty's camp, so that they could be used by Lu Dynasty one day.

In this situation, it is obviously inappropriate to introduce oneself. What if Lu Qing intends to recruit him, but Situ Jing is not willing to accept him? Introducing oneself will undoubtedly hand over one's mistakes to the other party.

But if Lu Qing's identity has been kept secret, if he wants to recruit talented people, he must let them know who they are going to join.

Otherwise, after planning for a long time, there is no guarantee that a Cheng Yaojin will suddenly appear and all the previous efforts will be in vain.

"But even so, if Situ Jing keeps avoiding you, how are you going to persuade him?" Zhu Yu asked.

"If he avoids us from the beginning and makes his position so clear, then we don't need to persuade him." Lu Qing waved his hand. "It's not time to lose patience yet. My injuries haven't healed yet, and I can't set off. Let's give him some time to think it over.

General Situ has refused to enter the capital for so many years, and even his two sons have been stationed in the capital. Do you think there is any other reason besides the fact that His Majesty needs someone to intimidate the restless Jie King?

Zhu Yujing's words immediately reminded him of General Cao Tianbao, who had recently owed him a big favor. Suddenly, he realized, "It seems that General Situ didn't want to get involved in the factional disputes in the court, so he chose to flee to the border?"

"General Situ's father followed the late emperor with unwavering loyalty. Therefore, when the late emperor was old and declining, and the princes were each recruiting their own forces and plotting their own actions, General Situ's father remained loyal to the late emperor from beginning to end, refusing to be used by any side.

Therefore, it was not until the current emperor ascended the throne that General Situ received the imperial order to conquer the Jie Kingdom on his behalf.

Although General Situ did not directly stand up to support the current emperor like General Cao did, after the emperor ascended the throne, he conquered the Jie Kingdom and made numerous military achievements. He also devoted himself to the cause without any reservation.

Therefore, the emperor did not care about his previous stance and attitude, but instead praised the Situ family's loyalty to the emperor. Lu Qing told her this past that Zhu Yu obviously could not understand, "So the Situ family can be said to have adhered to the principle of loyalty and non-partisanship for generations, and there has been no exception to this.

As Duke Yan's faction grew stronger and stronger, and after undoubtedly supporting Lu Zhang, General Situ never allowed his two sons to set foot in the capital again.

Zhu Yu understood that the Situ family was only loyal to the person on the throne, or in other words, they were loyal to the throne itself, so no matter who it was, no one could win them over before sitting on that throne.

Over the years, Duke Yan Zhao Bi may have thought about winning over the Situ family, but the Situ family was too powerful and they refused to form a clique with others, so Duke Yan could do nothing about them.

But could Lu Qing really persuade the Situ family, a family so stubborn and unyielding, who, from the previous emperor to the current emperor, refused to give face to anyone and resolutely refused to form a faction with anyone? And even if the Situ family finally gave up their previous insistence and decided to take sides, what made Lu Qing so sure they would choose the Lu Dynasty, which currently had the least competitive advantage and no backing?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yu couldn't help but look at Lu Qing with suspicion: "Are you really going to gamble your life with this self-torture trick?
If Situ Jing owes you a big enough favor, will it increase your chances of lobbying the Situ family?"

"Madam, you're worrying too much." Lu Qing laughed, "I admit that I'm a scheming person on a daily basis, but I wouldn't go so far as to gamble my life on it.

This injury was indeed an accident. After all, it was so close to taking my life. I planned all this so that I could live peacefully, but in the end, I was stabbed to death in Lizhou. Isn't that a complete failure?"

Zhu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She admired Lu Qing's meticulousness and far-sightedness, but if this guy was a reckless desperado who risked his life, that would be a different matter.

After all, the goal of her efforts was to have a good life in the future. If Lu Qing sacrificed herself before his plan came to fruition, then she would also lose.

Just like that, after another five or six days, Lu Qing's injuries improved rapidly under Yan Daoxin's care, and he seemed to have recovered like nothing had happened to him.

Since he was about to recover, he naturally had to prepare for the journey. Lu Qing asked Fu Wen and Fu Lu to dress up as the attendants of the Golden-faced Censor and go outside to buy some food and supplies for the journey.

Zhu Yu had been waiting for Situ Jing for the past few days but he had not seen him come, and he felt a little uneasy. Now he saw Lu Qing sending runes and talismans to buy things as if nothing had happened, and from the things he bought, it seemed that they were only enough for a few days, and it did not seem like he was preparing to go on a long journey. For a moment, he was a little confused about what this fox was planning.

However, when she saw that Runes and Talismans had bought some silk fabrics from outside according to Lu Qing's instructions, she was surprised, but she also had a vague idea of ​​the answer in her heart.

Moreover, it seems that Zhu Yu is not the only one who noticed something from Lu Qing's purchase of these items.

Although some people have not appeared in public for some time, they have been paying attention to their every move.

That night, Lu Qing, who had just taken the medicine, received a report that a visitor suddenly came to the post station.

After a while, a man wrapped in a black cloak arrived outside his door.

Lu Qing looked calm, as if he felt that everything was as expected. He took the golden mask from the side and put it on his face. Zhu Yu went outside the post station from time to time to get some fresh air and exercise in the past few days, so he had the leather mask at hand and quickly put it on as well.

Afterwards, Fu Wen gently pushed the door open. He made a gesture of invitation outside the door, and Situ Jing walked in with an embarrassed look on his face.
