Chapter 1171： Retreat to advance

Chapter 1171: Retreating to advance

The third princess looked puzzled and signaled Caiyun to take the small box.

Military Advisor Wen said, "Your Highness, you and the Crown Prince are getting married. The old general is very happy. Originally, he wanted to see the princess and the Crown Prince get married in Kyoto. Unfortunately, the southwest border is constantly harassed by foreigners, so he had no choice but to give up.

“This time the villain came, the old general asked the villain to bring some gifts, and he must hand them over to the princess.

“The old general said that the princess is the wife of the prince and the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. When the young master is born, he will be in charge of the southwest frontier army. No treasure in this world is enough to thank the princess for marrying her.

“Princess, please take care of the prince in the future. The Lu family will definitely remember the princess’s kindness!”

As he spoke, Military Advisor Wen knelt down and saluted again.

This attitude is quite low!

The third princess was a little confused for a moment. She had guessed that the Lu family would be anxious, angry, and distressed.

But what I didn't expect was that the Lu family didn't even mention that the prince was imprisoned, but they gave him generous gifts when he came up.

And thank you one by one without any resentment or worry at all...

She thought for a while and then responded, "Come up, military advisor. When you get back, I would like to thank the old general for his kindness and ask him... not to worry about Xindu."

Military Advisor Wen's eyes shone brightly, and he immediately saluted again. In the end, he did not mention visiting the Crown Prince. He just called a fat middle-aged steward to come to the car door and kowtow to the princess.

After a few more idle words, he took his leave.

The car door closed, and the third princess didn't speak for a while.

Caiyun couldn't help it and asked in a low voice, "Princess, what does the Lu family mean? Why aren't you worried about the prince?"

The third princess waved her hand and opened the box.

In the box were placed a banknote of 10,000 taels of silver, as well as deeds for seven or eight shops. The address was a good location in a shopping street.

The middle-aged steward outside the car is the one who usually manages these shops.

It can be said that the Lu family’s family fortune in Xindu has been completely handed over to her.

If good news were around, they would definitely applaud the Lu family’s actions.

This move uses retreat to advance, which is really powerful.

Because the princess’s temperament is to eat soft things rather than hard things!

Sure enough, the third princess closed the lid of the box, feeling slightly hesitant.

General Lu, the father-in-law, was so generous to her daughter-in-law, whom he had never met before, and also promised that the military power of the Southwest Frontier Army would be handed over to her son in the future.

There is no neglect or debt towards her!

There are 110,000 things wrong with Lu Zong. For the sake of the old general, he should be a little more merciful...

In the royal study room of the palace, the emperor was also smiling happily, listening to Military Advisor Wen talk about the affairs in the southwest.

Wen Jun's teacher's affairs were not very detailed, and the report was clearly reported.

At the end, he said, "Your Majesty, the old general is worried that the Maitreya Sect is so powerful that it will eventually disturb Xindu and make you worry. Therefore, the old general wants to ask for an order and send troops to exterminate the Maitreya Sect to share the worries for you and the court."

The emperor nodded and responded, "Okay, I have always known that Lu Aiqing is loyal, otherwise I would not be able to trust Tianwu Southwest to him. And Lu Aiqing did not disappoint me!"

“Now that Tianwu is facing a natural disaster and the people are displaced, and Lu Aiqing has stepped forward to share the worries, I am very relieved!

"This matter is settled! Let the Ministry of War issue the official document tomorrow!"

Military Advisor Wen quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and responded, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! Old General Lu has always wanted to come to Beijing to greet you in person, but unfortunately the defense is heavy. Even when the prince married the third princess, the old general could not be there, and he rarely regretted it.

“Speaking of which, the prince has been away for more than ten years, and the old general may have forgotten the prince’s appearance.

"But there is no rush in this matter. The princess is blessed with great blessings and will definitely give birth to a Qilin child soon. When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to allow the three of them to return to the southwest. The old general will definitely be extremely happy." He said, "This is what it should be. When the time comes, I will send more people to **** them back."

Military Advisor Wen flashed a flash of joy and kowtowed quickly, spreading his good words as if they were free of charge.

The emperor was relieved of the Maitreya Cult's major concern, and he was also very happy and rewarded many things.

When Military Advisor Dewen left the Imperial Study Room, Manager Yi personally saw him off.

Lu Feng was waiting outside the palace, his neck stretched out.

Finally, he saw Military Advisor Wen coming out with a lot of rewards. He felt relieved and hurried up to greet him and asked, "Mr. Wen, how are you? Did the emperor agree to let the prince come out?"

Military Advisor Wen glared at him until he got on the carriage and there was no one around him, then he said, "This matter cannot be discussed directly with the emperor. As long as we guard the southwest and wipe out the Maitreya Cult, the prince will be safe and sound.

“Because it’s impossible for the emperor to chill the hearts of heroes!

“On the contrary, it is made clear at this time that the emperor knows the inside story, so the prince will definitely die.”

Lu Feng was a little anxious and asked, "Then the prince will still be imprisoned in the princess mansion..."

Military Advisor Wen waved his hand, "Don't worry, at most the prince will have less freedom and no worries about his life. That's fine, but the situation is changing too fast now. If the prince is involved again, I'm afraid the palace will be implicated!"

Lu Feng was discouraged and wanted to say something but didn't dare.

Wen Junshi ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.

At this moment, the third princess was sitting across from Lu Zong drinking tea in the princess's mansion.

Lu Zong lost a lot of weight, his brows and eyes were full of anxiety, and he no longer looked as gentle and calm as before.

"How long are you going to lock me up every day? This is worse than killing me! I am your consort after all, you can't be so domineering!"

The third princess lowered her eyes and slowly drank half a cup of tea. Finally, she looked up at Lu Zong's incompetent rage and couldn't help laughing sarcastically.

"You did it, and now you have to bear the consequences, but you behave like this. Is the heir apparent from the Lu family so cowardly and incompetent?"

Hearing her mention the Lu family, Lu Zong's expression changed.

He has been locked up for so long. Lu Feng will definitely be anxious. Has he contacted his family or someone from his family?

He stood up in excitement and shouted, "Who in our family is here? Is it my father who is here?"

The third princess did not respond and asked, "If your father arrives, what are you going to say? You don't think that your father will praise you for what you have done, do you?"

Lu Zong was immediately discouraged and lowered his head.

When the princess saw him like this, her envy and unwillingness became even stronger.

“You have a good father, but it’s a pity that you are an unfilial son!”

She got up and walked out, instructing the guards, "He is allowed to walk around the courtyard every day from now on, but he cannot go out!"

Lu Zong chased him out. When he heard this, he shouted, "Princess, is my father here? What did he promise you? Please don't embarrass him!"

The princess ignored it at all and sneered and went out.

At this time, if you pretend to be filial to your son, what are you thinking about when you bring trouble to the family?

Come in a hurry and go in a hurry!

On the second day, Military Advisor Wen returned to the southwest after receiving the official documents.

After all, the army has already begun to exterminate the Maitreya sect, and there are still harassments from other places at the border. With two efforts, General Lu will fall short if he makes the slightest mistake.
