Qishanguan.
Inside Qishan Temple.
Luo Xingchen already knew the true identity of the man in brocade clothes.
It turns out that he is the queen of the Lu family.
Speaking of the Lu family, it has a very long history. During the Southern Dynasties, the Lu family was already a famous general.
But later, after the collapse of the Southern Dynasty, a man that the Lu family favored to compete for the world was defeated by the Taizu of Daqi.
Although the Lu family came to seek refuge.
But then, he was not taken seriously by Taizu Taizu of Qi Dynasty. He barely made a living in the court and never independently commanded an army again.
This is also a matter of course.
Taizu Taizu of Da Qi was already generous and kind enough. If there were another king, he might demote the Lu family to common people.
"Young master, you are joking. Although our Lu family is a general, now we are like a fallen phoenix, not as good as a chicken. Just one of us, miserable!"
Lu Wenshu sighed.
If the Lu family was still as powerful as before, how could he come to Marshal Yue alone and start from the bottom?
"It all depends on people. I think Brother Lu will definitely stand out in the military with his martial arts skills and rise rapidly." Luo Xingchen said with a smile.
"Then I accept the good news from the young master. It's a pity that there is no wine at this time, otherwise I will have three big drinks with the young master." Lu Wen wrote.
"Why do you want to come to Marshal Yue's sect? Wouldn't it be better to go to the National Defense Army? There are many military merits to be gained against the rebels there." Luo Xingchen said lightly.
"I also want to go, but I have no acquaintances with the Lu family in the National Guard Army, and no one can recommend me." Lu Wenshu touched his nose, with a trace of regret on his face.
Nowadays, when Da Qi joins the army, it must first be the national defense army.
Not only is the Protectorate Army powerful, but more importantly, the Protectorate Army is at the forefront and fights more, so it has more military achievements. As long as the ability is sufficient, it can be promoted quickly.
"Don't you have an acquaintance?" Luo Xingchen said with a smile.
"acquaintance?"
Lu Wenshu thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "No, I don't know any generals of the National Protective Army, and no one in the Lu family has anything to do with any general of the National Protective Army."
"Me, am I not an acquaintance of yours?" Luo Xingchen pointed at his nose and smiled.
"Son..."
"Are you related to the Protectorate Army?" Lu Wenshu finally realized what Luo Xingchen meant.
"My father's name is Luo Fengtang. Do you think I have anything to do with the National Guard Army?" Luo Xingchen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Is the young master Luo Xingchen, the imperial envoy, Mr. Luo?"
Lu Wenshu couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
"Yes, I am Luo Xingchen." Luo Xingchen said.
"It turns out to be Mr. Luo. I apologize for my lack of courtesy." Lu Wenshu stood up and wanted to salute.
"Forgive me, this is not a court affair. We are like-minded friends in private. I also want to discuss the meaning of Buddhist scriptures with you."
Luo Xingchen hurriedly stopped him.
"Okay, since the young master is so grand, I won't be restrained." Lu Wenshu nodded cheerfully.
"Let's first talk about the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra..."
Later, Luo Xingchen seriously talked to Lu Wenshu about the meaning of Buddhist scriptures.
Nowadays, Buddhist scriptures have become part of traditional culture. I have done in-depth research on Luo Xingchen, and I also have deep personal insights into it.
What surprised him was Lu Wenshu.
It stands to reason that Lu Wenshu, who was born in the Lu family of generals, should have been working hard to practice martial arts since he was a child. This can be judged from his current martial arts level.
This kind of general's son can also read, but usually he reads military books passed down from his family.
It is difficult for someone who only knows martial arts to become a general commanding an army. He will only be a barbarian. Therefore, all the sons of generals who want to make a difference in the army will learn the art of war.
However, Lu Wenshu was very different from the ordinary sons of generals.
He actually studied Buddhist scriptures on his own and reached a very profound level.
After chatting for a while, Master Chenghai and Yue Yueling also joined in.
Needless to say, Master Chenghai is a Buddhist. He is able to sit in the position of abbot because of his profound Buddhist knowledge.
And a weak woman like Yue Yueling is actually familiar with Buddhist scriptures. Although it is not very profound, it is already remarkable that she can understand some of it.
After chatting for nearly two hours, it was almost noon.
A knock on the door from outside interrupted their discussion.
"Amitabha, it is really a pleasure to have a heart-to-heart chat with some of the donors. The donors have a deep understanding of Buddhist scriptures. Although they cannot enter Buddhism in person, they are already considered Buddhist disciples at home."
"The poor monk has arranged for all the donors, please come and use it."
Master Chenghai stood up. The person knocking on the door was a monk. He came to tell the abbot that the kitchen was ready.
"Okay, I just wanted to try the vegetarian food at Qishan Temple. I heard that the vegetarian food here has a history of thousands of years, and there are many dishes that cannot be eaten outside." Luo Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Lord Luo is amused. Qishan Temple's vegetarian food has a good reputation, but there is nothing special about the vegetarian food. They are all common dishes."
After saying that, Master Chenghai got up and led everyone out of the Zen room, and finally came to the dining hall.
There is a special box in the dining hall to isolate the inside and outside.
This must be done because Yue Yueling is a woman and there are places in the temple that do not accept female guests.
Even though Yue Yueling had a special status, Master Chenghai could not make an exception. He just acted in accordance with the temple rules.
In the box, Luo Xingchen saw the famous Qishan Temple Zhaifan.
After eating some, he found that these fasting meals were not as mysterious as the rumors outside. You know, in the outside rumors, the fasting meals at Qishan Temple were consecrated by the Buddha. Anyone who eats one will get the blessing of the Buddha. .
Many common people have little ability to distinguish, and they cannot understand so much. Once they heard the Buddha's consecration, they became very envious, which intensified the spread of rumors.
After finishing the meal, Luo Xingchen and Yue Yueling bid farewell to Master Chenghai and headed back.
Lu Wenshu rejected all other arrangements and followed Luo Xingchen and Yue Yueling.
Now, Luo Xingchen, the son of General Luo Fengtang, the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, and the navy admiral, was right in front of him, so he didn't have to think of any other tricks.
In addition, in addition to Luo Xingchen, there is actually Miss Yue Yueling, Marshal Yue's biological daughter, here, which is even more joyful.
As long as he can get someone's approval, his future development will definitely not be comparable to what he is doing now.
Along the way, Luo Xingchen stayed with Mo Anbai in the carriage, and Lu Wenshu volunteered to drive. Luo Xingchen couldn't stop him, so he had to let him go.
Yue Yueling got on another carriage and returned to the military camp one after another.
Just after they came back, they saw Yue Zhange standing in front of them.
Yue Zhange's face was solemn, his hands were clasped behind his back, and he said in a deep voice, "I already know who it is."
