    Two days later, Lu Qi left Chang'an City, but his freight team left eastward one day earlier. He also left twelve subordinates to manage and supervise the shops in Chang'an City.  Along the way east, Lu Qi did not conduct scouts to explore the road. The main reason was that almost all of his subordinates left first, and it was not easy to support the escort. Moreover, after passing Jingzhao Mansion, the road eastward belonged to the Zhou Kingdom.  In the hinterland, it is difficult for a large army to ambush, unless it is an ambush by the local military envoys.  Lu Qi originally thought that King Cao would stop in Luoyang on his way eastward, but he did not expect that King Cao would not enter Luoyang City at all, but walked directly outside the city, and only after passing Luoyang City did he find a place to rest.  Lu Qi was naturally surprised. He knew that Zhao Kuangmei was staying in Luoyang. Since King Cao was close to the Zhao family, why didn't he enter Luoyang City to meet Zhao Kuangmei?  He looked for an opportunity to ask King Ji, and King Ji's answer was that he didn't know. He rarely talked to King Cao along the way, and he always followed King Cao's lead.  However, King Ji's guard commander quietly told Lu Qi that King Cao could not enter Luoyang City because he did not want to stay in Luoyang City for a long time, that is, he did not want to socialize with Zhao Kuangmei. King Cao probably wanted to return to Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible.  , and in fact, His Highness King Cao is only close to Lord Zhao Kuangyin, and has no closeness to Lord Zhao Kuangyin's younger brothers.  Lu Qi was stunned after hearing this, and realized that he was thinking complicatedly. Based on his current understanding of King Cao, King Cao was a person who only cared about immediate interests. Only useful people were willing to pay attention to him. For example, the old minister Shen Yilun, for example, was interested in King Cao.  There is no supporting role, so it is very disrespectful to be condescending.  After passing Luoyang, it was not far from Kaifeng Mansion. Three days later, Lu Qi and his party caught up with the freight team, but they also reached the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion. In other words, King Cao's car was no more powerful than Lu Qi's truck.  It was much faster, but when we arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, we naturally had to let King Cao go first.  When entering Kaifeng Mansion, Lu Qi returned to his team, and Shi Zhongfei also took the initiative to follow Lu Qi. The cargo team entered Kaifeng Mansion at Xinzheng Gate. Shi Zhongfei, as the pioneer, negotiated with the Imperial Guards guarding the gate, but the Imperial Guards guarding the gate did not  To give Shi Zhongfei face, only trucks were allowed to enter the city gate. Foreign troops could never enter the city without the permission of the court.  Lu Qi also knew that it would not work. If he had 200 troops, he could enter Kaifeng Mansion as a guard. With 2,000 troops, the generals guarding the city would not be willing to let him go without being punished. Finally, Lu Qi asked the driver and soldiers to drive the truck, plus two  Hundreds of soldiers entered Kaifeng Mansion, and the other soldiers were divided into four groups and went to rest in the counties around Kaifeng Mansion.  The trucks entering Kaifeng Prefecture did not cause any sensation. The main reason was that Kaifeng Prefecture was the commercial center of the Zhou Dynasty, and the flow of goods in and out was very common. Lu Qi's convoy did not carry any Hexi flags. Although passers-by looked at it, they thought it looked like a driver.  Somewhat different from the Central Plains people, but not that strange.  Here in Kaifeng Mansion, Lu Qi had already sent people on flying horses to inform Yang Hong, asking Yang Hong to look for restaurants and inventory not far from the Western Jin Marquis Mansion. The soldier who sent the message turned around and told Lu Qi that the Western Jin Marquis Mansion  Located outside Jiucaomen, south of Niuxing Street, Yang Hong said there was no rush to buy the restaurant.  Lu Qi walked at the front of the motorcade, with Shi Zhongfei leading the way. Shi Zhongfei had grown up in Kaifeng Mansion since he was a child. When he was a ranger, he ran all over the streets of Kaifeng Mansion. It can be said that he was familiar with Kaifeng Mansion.  Lu Qi introduced Kaifeng Mansion.  When he heard that Lu Qi wanted to buy a restaurant, he said that there was a large restaurant in Lijingmen (old Songmen), next to the Bianhe River. He remembered that it was for sale, but the price would definitely not be less than 50,000.  Guan, although the terrain on the Bianhe River is in the inner city, its value is not as good as that of Maxing Street and Panlou.  Lu Qi was tempted after hearing this. His Western Jin Hou Mansion was located outside Lijing Gate in the outer city, to the north of Bianhe Street, but it was not far from the restaurant Shi Zhongfei mentioned. When asked why the restaurant was for sale, Shi Zhongfei also  I don't know, it's just that someone asked him to ask the Duke's Mansion if he could buy it before, but he never asked his family at all. Shi Zhongfei never paid attention to the affairs of the Duke's Mansion before.  It was not until dusk that Lu Qicai arrived at the Marquis Mansion of the Western Jin Dynasty and was sent to the place. Shi Zhongfei said goodbye and left, saying that he would ask someone to ask about the restaurant.  Watching Shi Zhongfei and ten of his subordinates leave, Lu Qicai turned around and looked at his palace. The mansion was very large and located at the head of Fang Street. It had red stone steps, high walls and tiles, and a plaque hung on the eaves gate.  'Western Jin Hou's Mansion', but it should be replaced by 'Western Jin's Duke's Mansion'.  Yang Hong came over and said respectfully, "My lord, I'm here." Lu Qi nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Yang Hong hesitated for a moment, but the god stopped talking. Lu Qi looked at it and smiled and said, "It's been many days.  No, you've lost some weight." Yang Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I can't bear to work for you, so I thought about resigning." After hearing this, Lu Qi calmly said, "You and I still have an agreement.  It¡¯s not due.¡± ¡°No.When it expires, it¡¯s just that the little one really can¡¯t afford it.  "Yang Hong smiled bitterly. "It's not due, so just keep holding on. I can't find anyone I can trust now.  "Lu Qi said without refusal. Yang Hong nodded helplessly. Lu Qi looked at him and said: "Wealth is found in danger. If you persist, you may get a lot. Being able to be my housekeeper is both lucky and unfortunate.  .  " Yang Hong bowed and said: "I don't want to ask for anything, but since the owner wants to stay, I will stick to the agreed date.  Lu Qi nodded and said, "Place the goods and come see me later. You take me to the study first."  " "Yes, please, proprietor."  " Yang Hong said respectfully. ***** At the second watch of the night, Yang Hong came to see Lu Qi tiredly. Lu Qi asked him to sit down. Lin Feng brought Yang Hong a cup of tea. Yang Hong thanked him and took it.  Taking a big sip in his hand, Lu Qi looked at Yang Hong with a smile, and Yang Hong said respectfully: "Do you have any other instructions, proprietor?"  " "It's so late and you are tired. I should have let you rest, but I need to know some things about Kaifeng Mansion, so I can only let you be tired.  "Lu Qiwen said gently. "What does the proprietor want to ask?  "Yang Hong said. "Before asking, let me discuss our relationship with you first. I know that you are from the Dingguo Palace, so in your heart, you may be resistant to doing things for me because you are afraid of causing trouble to the Dingguo Palace.  .  " Lu Qi said gently. Yang Hong was startled and nodded: "Yes, I am afraid that I will cause trouble to the Duke's Mansion.  " "Since you are afraid of this, let me tell you something. First of all, I am kind to the Yang family of Linzhou. The Xia Kingdom once dispatched a hundred thousand troops to besiege Linzhou City. It was I who responded to Zhe Weizhong's request and sent troops to capture it.  After arriving in Yinzhou, he promptly notified the Xia army that besieged Linzhou, forcing the Xia army to retreat from Linzhou. Do you know about this?  "Lu Qi said. Yang Hong was stunned and said: "Your Excellency, you enter Yinzhou to relieve the difficulties of rescuing Linzhou.  "Of course it is. If it wasn't for Yang and Zhe to rescue the siege, why would I take the risk and adopt the strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao? Moreover, after the war, I deliberately sent tens of thousands of Xia soldiers to the Yang and Zhe families, and  The Zhe family also has a marriage alliance with me. It can be said that I have an alliance with the Yang family of Linzhou and the Zhe family of Fuzhou. If Duke Dingguo does not recognize the Yang family from Linzhou, then it really has nothing to do with me.  What a relationship.  "Lu Qi said. Yang Hong's expression changed and he hurriedly said: "Sir, Duke Dingguo is definitely from the Yang family in Linzhou, and he is also married to the Zhe family in Fuzhou.  Lu Qi smiled and said: "I sent ten thousand war horses to Kaifeng Mansion, half of which was to support Duke Ding. If it weren't for Duke Ding's relationship, I would not have sent ten thousand horses."  " Yang Hong looked suddenly enlightened after hearing this. He stood up and said: "I have chosen the Duke's mansion on my behalf. I would like to thank you for your great righteousness.  " "You don't have to thank me. I sent the war horses. The first intention is to show my merits, and the second reason is that I am worried that Duke Ding cannot hold the northern defense line. If Duke Ding is defeated, it will cause a major blow to the Zhe family in Fuzhou and the Yang family in Linzhou.  But I need the support of Zhe and Yang.  " Lu Qi said gently. Yang Hong nodded, and Lu Qi said again: "You may not understand the support I said. The support I want is a moral response, that is, a kind of life-saving support. I support it.  The autonomy of Binghexi and Beiting is the same as the Zhe family in Fuzhou and the Yang family in Linzhou. Now that I come to Kaifeng Mansion, I may be killed, but if the court wants to kill me, it will definitely worry about the Yang family and the Zhe family.  Reaction.  " Yang Hong nodded in understanding.
