According to Li Chongjiu's conditions, Lu Chengqing didn't say anything. At this time, it was no longer the category where he could hold on to his ideas.

But Lu Ziqian could do it. After hearing Li Chongjiu's words, Lu Ziqian pondered for a while, raised his head and looked at Li Chongjiu, and suddenly said, "Your Excellency's words are thought-provoking. General Xu Lang doesn't look like a martial artist. How dare you ask who he is from? Where is his master?"

Li Chongjiu knew that the other party had suspicious of his identity, after all, his knowledge was different from that of the soldiers. Li Chongjiu said immediately: "I went back to Duke Lu, a native of Xia Taiyuan. I studied under Hefen Gate for a year and met the current governor of Su County, Shanggu County, and was therefore promoted to the Lang General."

Lu Ziqian showed a sudden expression when he heard this. Wang Tong was giving lectures in Hefen, and thousands of people were admitted to study abroad. Therefore, it is reasonable for Li Chongjiu to explain his identity. Lu Ziqian's eyes swept away the thick cocoon in Li Chongjiu's hands, and he was even more convinced. At that moment, Lu Chengqing praised him and said: "Brother Xu is really a Confucian general, and he is so indifferent to the general of the Eagle attack. "

"Brother Lu is too rewarded, too much. I don't know how many people under Li's tent are better than those under the ranks. I am just mediocre."

What Li Chongjiu said made the Lu family half-believing and half-doubted, but it goes without saying that the two envoys Wen Yanbo have matched their reputation. This Xu Junshou's words of the Eagle Fighter General also made them look up to them. You should know that the Eagle Fighter General is just the deputy general of the Eagle Fighter General, and his status is indeed a little lower.

Li Chongjiu asked immediately: "So, don't you two know how to consider the proposal?"

Lu Ziqian immediately clasped his hands and said, "I will convey your meaning to my brother. You know what I meant, and you have to weigh everything. You will definitely not be able to give you a reply within a few days. As for when we come to the conclusion, we will definitely notify you in secret."

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu nodded, then clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, we will leave for the time being and wait for the good news."

"I'm not busy, I've already set up a banquet. It's not too late to leave after using meals here."

Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo looked at each other. Wen Yanbo said with clarity: "We must report back to the prefect in a hurry and dare not stay for a long time."

After repeated stays, Lu Ziqian, Lu Chengqing and others personally sent Li Chongjiu and the others out of the mansion. Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo were once again riding a small oil cart out of the mansion.

After seeing the two left, Lu Chengqing immediately asked Lu Ziqian: "Uncle, what General Xu said is very reasonable. Since our Lu family cannot compete for power, why not retreat behind the scenes and watch it and choose someone else to come forward for us."

Lu Ziqian sneered and said, "It's good that our Lu family won't come forward to compete for power, but do you think Li Chongjiu is possible? In Youzhou, he is indeed a hero, but in the whole world, there are too many such handsome talents. Can he compare Li Mi and Li Yuan?"

Lu Chengqing said, "But Li Yuan and Li Mi, one in Taiyuan and the other in Guanzhong, are all too far away from us. Our Lu family must find a way out now."

Lu Ziqian narrowed his eyes and said, "You said it's right. As far as the world is concerned, these two people are the most likely to seize the world. Your father sent a message saying that Li Yuan's anti-Idea in Jinyang is well known and has the support of many Guanlong gentry. Once the uprising is in less than a year, he can conquer Guanzhong. With his relationship with our Lu family, I am more optimistic about Li Yuan at the moment, but he has been slow to hold his troops, which is really anxious."

Lu Chengqing said, "Yes, uncle, Li Yuan, is a noble relative of Longxi, and has always had a good relationship with his father. If we seize the world, my Lu family can offer it with Youzhou, which will definitely be a great achievement. But Li Yuan is not responsible, we can't wait for him for the rest of his life. Now Xue Shixiong has begun to mobilize troops and mobilize food and grass. I can't see that he will send troops south to fight Dou Jiande. If Xue Shixiong goes away, no matter how victories or defeats, he will definitely not return to Youzhou. Instead, Li Chongjiu is pressing from the north to Youzhou. How can our Lu family resist?"

Lu Ziqian's eyes flashed with cold light and said, "Are you persuaded by General Xu to let us offer Li Chongjiu the entire Zhuo County?"

Seeing his uncle like this, Lu Chengqing immediately started sweating behind his back and said, "Uncle, I don't mean this." He knew that this uncle was very authoritative, so even if he was the son of the patriarch, he did not dare to go against his intentions.

Lu Ziqian's expression was slightly slower, and he pressed his hand and said, "Nephew, you don't understand, like Li Chongjiu and Dou Jiande, who are from the grass-roots, take advantage of the world's chaos and suddenly jump up, but in terms of the origin of the family, I dare say that if my Lu family had rebelled in Youzhou, it would definitely be ten times stronger than Li Chongjiu's eyes. Do you believe it?"

Lu Chengqing nodded and said, "My nephew believes it very much."

Lu Ziqian patted Lu Chengqing on the shoulder and showed a little helpless look: "Yes, your uncle has ambition. If he hadn't taken into consideration his current status and status, he would like to show his ambitions and compete with the heroes of the world, his life would be more happy. But, I decided not to say others, even you would object, I understand what you mean. Now our Lu family is now a generation of soldiers, with the family of Dukes and Marquis, and is admired by the gentry in the world. He is known as the four major clans together with Cui, Wang and Zheng. Even if he becomes the so-called emperor, what if he is further promoted, and wealth is over. But if he takes a step back, if he fails, he will never be able to recover and involve countless people. Most of the people in the clan will not be willing to take this risk."

"But this does not mean that our Lu family is willing to bow their heads casually and support Li Chongjiu, who doesn't know what kind of background, to be this emperor. So we can support Li Yuan, and Li Mi can support him, but it wouldn't be possible if it were others. Otherwise, it would be a humiliation to our Lu family."

Lu Chengqing lowered his head and said nothing.

Lu Ziqian was walking and said, "But your idea is right. The distance water cannot quench the nearest thirst. Li Mi now has less than 50% chance of conquering Guanzhong. Li Yuan didn't know what he was thinking. We cannot place our hopes on them, and we must find a way out. Before the world's wise rulers appeared, I think Youzhou can be handed over to other people for the time being. Although we don't stand up, this person must be under the control of our Lu family."

After hearing Lu Ziqian's words, Lu Chengqing thought to himself that his uncle said this was not a contradiction, but he did not dare to speak.

Lu Ziqian took a deep breath and said, "In the future, Youzhou can be divided, but it will not fight for dominance in the world. This is the only way our Lu family will cooperate with him. I can see that Li Chongjiu will rise to the grassland in just two years. This person has amazing methods, which shows how ambitions are. Moreover, his power is too strong now. In the future, our Lu family will definitely not be able to control it."

Lu Chengqing felt a stern when he heard this.

Lu Ziqian showed a stern look and said, "A horse that is unwilling to obey, even a thousand-mile horse cannot be used as a horse. Our Lu family needs to be obedient and willing to carry our Lu family car to drive forward. So I have someone else to choose, look at Luo Yi, the Marquis of Jingbian? I have seen this man a few times. He is a little vulgar, but he is a master of poor families and has great courage. If you talk about generals and his powerful soldiers, you will be able to protect Youzhou in the future."

Lu Chengqing heard the words and said, "It's just that although this person was stationed in Youzhou, we have never dealt with him."

Lu Ziqian laughed and said, "Is Luo Yi willing to be inferior to others? He just lost the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi, like a dog that was lost. We told Zhuo County that he could accommodate him. He would immediately bring troops without saying a word."

Lu Chengqing said, "But Luo Yi's power is not as strong as before. Only 3,000 soldiers are not available, so I'm afraid that he can't help us. Moreover, I heard that Luo Yi is also a rebellious person. I'm afraid that if he owns Youzhou, he will lead the wolf into the house."

Lu Ziqian nodded and said, "It's not unreasonable that you say it. Luo Yi, who dared to infringe on the emperor and cause trouble, cannot guarantee that he would not be able to attack our Lu family in the future. Moreover, Luo Yi now has only one county and lacks power. Otherwise, I wouldn't be afraid of Li Chongjiu."

Lu Chengqing said, "I heard that Li Chongjiu had the reputation of being a virtuous person in the throne. Otherwise, Wen Yanbo would not be able to provide advice for him. This shows that he has a broad mind and is willing to tolerate others."

After hearing this, Lu Ziqian was a little moved and said, "Okay, we are talking about Li Chongjiu, maybe they offer a price that is enough to make us excited."

"Anyway, before your father's intention, we will talk first. Since we give them hope, don't refuse them at once, the price they give us the Lu family will get higher and higher."

When Lu Chengqing heard this, he said happily: "Uncle is so steady!"

After riding in the Lu family's car and returning to his residence, Li Chongjiu immediately asked Wen Yanbo to pack up his things and prepare to leave the city overnight.

Wen Yanbo was slightly surprised and said, "Eunuch, why don't you stay in the city and continue to negotiate with the Lu family, or wait for their reply?"

Li Chongjiu said, "I can see that although Lu Ziqian is interested in my proposal, he is not sincere enough. If they really make up their minds, he will talk to us about some details later, rather than letting us go back."

Wen Yanbo said, "Then we won't be in vain for such a trip."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "It's not a waste of time. At least we know what the Lu family thinks. Moreover, Lu Ziqian did not really refuse us. It's just that we need some means to help the Lu family make up their minds."

"Make up your mind?" Wen Yanbo asked.

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Yes, we are not their only choice. Now the only thing that can be sure is that the Lu family will definitely not stand up. If you stand up and separatist, you must retreat behind the scenes and put a puppet to play with it. If you talk about puppets, Luo Yi, and Gao Kaidao are better than me and Dou Jiande."

Wen Yanbo nodded and said, "Gao Kaidao is too close to the Turks. This is against the taboo of the gentry. They have always despised the most, so Luo Yi is very likely."
