Chapter 426 Good Fortune
Before Sima Ping left, his father specifically told him to follow Lu Yuanpeng closely, because Prime Minister Lu would definitely send someone to secretly protect Lu Yuanpeng, and he would also benefit from it.
Furthermore, Sima Ping would be really worried if Lu Yuanpeng really went to the northern border battlefield alone.
In this big capital city, Sima Ping seemed to be close to everyone, but the only person he really considered as a friend was Lu Yuanpeng, who looked gullible and not very smart. He did not want to lose this friend.
The journey to the battlefield in the northern border is long. If he didn’t follow, Lu Yuanpeng would not even know that he had been sold out.
Thinking of this, Sima Ping took his clothes and went behind the tree to change, no longer looking like a handsome young man.
Lu Yuanpeng looked at Sima Ping, who was as gray as himself, and smiled secretly with his hands covering his mouth.
Seeing that his horse and baggage were gone, and only a sword was left in Lv Yuanpeng’s arms, Sima Ping frowned and asked, “Where are my horse and baggage?”
“Oh… I saw two beggars, I gave them a ride!”
Sima Ping took a deep breath, closed his eyes and calmed the anger in his heart: “Yuan Peng…in that bag, there is money for both of us! Five hundred taels…”
Lu Yuanpeng was startled, then cleared his throat and said, “Hey! We are going to the military camp and follow the troops. Do you think you can starve us to death? I can see that you have no sincerity in joining the army. Do you think it is appropriate for ordinary people like us to go to the military camp dressed like this and carry 500 taels of silver? We have no experience! Let’s go…”
“Okay!” Sima Ping clenched the brocade embroidered clothes in his hands with a fake smile, “Don’t cry when the time comes!”
The Jin Army camp is not like the Bai Family Army camp. If they don’t have money to bribe people and don’t want to reveal their identities and seek shelter, then they will definitely have to do the most tiring and dirty work. I hope Lu Yuanpeng can still hold on by then.
Sima Ping went to the pawnshop in the city and pawned his clothes. He and the dusty Lu Yuanpeng, carrying a small bag, walked to the north of the city.
Unexpectedly, he had just walked a few steps when he was recognized by the playboy he usually played with. The playboy got off his horse and surrounded Sima Ping and Lu Yuanpeng, laughing so hard that he fell backwards and forwards: “What are you two doing?”
“Hide your identity and join the army!” Lu Yuanpeng answered righteously, “Go to the northern border and drive the Liang dogs back to Liang State!”
As if touched by Lu Yuanpeng’s righteousness, the group of playboys dismounted one after another. They did not expect that Lu Yuanpeng actually had such manly blood. Some of them thought about it and suddenly shouted, “Hey, hey, hey! I said that we usually play together, why don’t we join the army together!”
“Stop messing around! We are going to join the army, not to play!” Lu Yuanpeng held his head high and chest puffed out.
“Now that you mention it, I really want to go! Everyone… Even the most mischievous Lu family Yuanpeng is going to join the army. Can we still enjoy the romance in this big city? We will go too! After driving Liang Gou back to Liang State, we can raise a toast to celebrate! We can also show off our experience to the girls in the brothel!”
“That’s easy to say. Which of your grandparents would agree to let you join the army?” Sima Ping folded his arms, raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
“Then how did you two get your grandparents to agree?” asked a playboy.
“This is easy. Just go secretly! Hide your real name and real name. My name is Wang San! Sima Ping’s name is Ma San!” Lu Yuanpeng said proudly.
“Then we can go secretly! Anyway, the recruitment order says that anyone can go, even beggars! We can just make up a story that we don’t have a household registration, maybe they can register us! My name will be Li San!”
“Where did you get these clothes?”
“That’s right… where did the clothes come from? Let’s go get some clothes to wear!”
“Then I’ll call you Yu San!”
A group of playboys were chatting and laughing. Perhaps on impulse, or because they wanted to play with Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping, they actually changed into ordinary people’s clothes and shoes, and went to the military camp to join the army.
When Prime Minister Lu came back from court, he heard that a group of playboys in the capital, led by Lu Yuanpeng, had changed into civilian clothes and gone to the barracks in the north of the city to sign up for the army. Prime Minister Lu’s forehead was throbbing.
Lu Yuanqing clearly told Lu Yuanpeng to go quietly! Go quietly! Why did he make such a big noise?
Nowadays, it has become a well-known fact in the capital that playboys are joining the army.
His grandson is always out of tune and acts unexpectedly, which gives Prime Minister Lu a headache.
However, Prime Minister Lu calmed down and thought about it. It was a good thing. If the matter got out of hand… the emperor would know that it was not Prime Minister Lu who sent his grandson to the military camp out of his own accord, but that Lu Yuanpeng was fooling around and sneaked out of the house to join the army with a group of playboys. He wanted to join the army and drive the Liang army out of the Jin State. The emperor would surely be happy to hear that!
Fortunately, Lu Yuanpeng did not say that he wanted to go to the northern border to follow Bai’s sister, otherwise the emperor would have become suspicious again.
Lu Xiang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and let out a long breath.
Anyway, Lu Yuanpeng is a well-known playboy in the capital city. He joined the army for no reason… The emperor will definitely not take him seriously. He just hopes that Lu Yuanpeng can work harder and not come back unable to endure the hardships. If he can make a name for himself in the army, it will be a blessing for their Lu family.
“Your Excellency! Something bad has happened! The commander of the Patrol Battalion, Fan Yuhuai, came to my house with a sad face, begging you to take care of Young Master Yuan Peng and not take their only child to the battlefield in the northern border, otherwise, Master Fan is worried that my mother will fight him to the death!”
“Prime Minister! Prime Minister, something bad has happened! Lord Shoushan has come in person, asking you to ask Young Master Yuan Peng to release his great-grandson…”
The teacup in Lu Xiang’s hand trembled, and he stood up quickly: “Quickly invite Lord Shoushan and Lord Fan in first…”

Bai Qingyan followed Liu Hong on horseback and waited for Xun Tianzhang at the Longmu River between Longyang City and the Liang army camp.
The sky is gloomy today and the wind is particularly strong.
Soon, Xun Tianzhang came slowly over on the chariot, accompanied by Zhao Sheng on horseback with a team of elite soldiers.
Liu Hong had someone deliver the head of the Zhao family army spy who entered the city last night to Xun Tianzhang, and said with a smile: “General Xun, if you want to know what the Jin army is up to, why bother sending people into the city to spy? Why not ask me and General Bai? Liu Hong will certainly tell you everything he knows… everything he knows.”
Before coming, Bai Qingyan specifically reminded Liu Hong to be tough and to give the Liang army a time limit, showing the Jin army’s eagerness to start a war. Only then would the Liang army believe that the Jin army’s reinforcements had arrived.
Xun Tianzhang’s eyes fell on the heads of the Zhao family soldiers. He gripped the handrail of the chariot tightly and looked at Bai Qingyan, who was riding on the horse in silver armor with cold and indifferent eyes.
It seems that the reinforcements from Jin have indeed arrived, so they dared to be so tough. Otherwise… they would have been as hesitant and indecisive as Zhang Duanrui.
