"Is it Liyang... the illegitimate son of the Zhao family who suddenly emerged from the army?" After hesitating for a moment, Nangong Pushe, who looked like a man with a cool face, continued to ask without waiting for the reply from the Kugao scribe in front of him: "Isn't it possible that Military Advisor Li is not worried about you Beiliang?" That villain butcher?"
At this moment, only candles were lit in Tingchao Pavilion, and the secretly guarding the pavilion chose to leave enough space for the two people at the railing of the pavilion to talk.
In the corridor on the third floor, Li Yishan's face was unclear, but the fatigue was clearly visible.
The secret Dinghai Shenzhen of Beiliang smiled bitterly.
"How can I not worry?"
"In the final analysis, the Zhao family prince is just a prince who has just entered the ancestral temple. There is still a long way to go before he can truly become the master of Tai'an City. However, the threat of Chen Zhibao is right in front of us. Mr. Nangong, an outsider from Northern Liang, We all can see how we, the people in Beiliang, can't understand the undercurrents under this cold land."
The night breeze is slightly cool.
Li Yishan just said something to the wind and then kept coughing. The old man picked up the wine gourd beside him and took a sip, and his face became slightly rosy.
At this time, Nangong Pushe gave Li Yishan a questioning look in front of him. The latter put away the gourd and waved his hand with a smile: "A person who is half buried in the soil cannot stay there all day long with eucalyptus tablets. Upstairs at the intelligence office, it’s okay.”
He paused, and suddenly a look of great approval appeared on his face: "That illegitimate son of the Zhao family did extremely well in Qianzhou this time. Anyone with a discerning eye thought that this time Beiliang was just a cover, and Li Yang's real goal was that He is an official of the Western Chu Cao, but I don’t think so.”
Nangong Pushe raised his eyebrows.
Obviously, he did not expect that Li Yishan would have such a high opinion of Lu Ze.
"The obstacles Feng Nian encountered in the small officialdom in Qianzhou were far greater than we imagined."
"It's hard to imagine that that young guy from Liyang is so good at understanding the subtleties of people's hearts. The reason why Fengnian was so taciturn when he returned home this time is that many of the people who went out with him stayed in Qianzhou, including Wei Shuyang. Old guy, and a large part of the reason comes from that girl Jiang Ni."
"This kid, Feng Nian, is a very affectionate person."
"The reason why Cao Changqing was trapped in Qianzhou for so long this time, even though he had good martial arts luck, was forced to enter the false realm, is because the princess he has been looking for for many years is there, and she is still there as a maid. After staying in the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion for so many years, the people who were deployed in Qianzhou this time cleanly tore open the curtain of memories that had been forgotten by Jiang Ni, allowing the seeds of true hatred to take root."
"Is Beiliang's original layout in chaos? It doesn't matter, but if the prince of Beiliang's heart is completely in chaos, this is what will really kill him."
Bai Hulian frowned, mentally adding a certain guy who was about to leave Qingzhou to his must-kill list.
...
Lu Ze's affairs in Qingzhou have basically been completed.
But he still slowed down the pace of leaving because he was still waiting for the answer from a certain blind chess player. Lu Ze had always been very confident in himself, but this did not mean that Lu Xu was willing to leave with him. Everything had to be paid attention to. Isn't it your love?
Lu Ze is very patient.
Especially when it comes to truly capable people, and...beautiful people.
Yu Youwei was a little surprised when she knew that she was leaving. She originally thought that Lu Ze would stay in Xiangfan City for some time. These days, Miss Yu has even less time to masturbate Wu Mei Niang, and she is very serious about it. Prepare many things for admission.
Yu Youwei was already smart, and Lu Ze only taught her chess skills briefly, but her progress was very rapid.
As expected, the saying goes: Smart people don’t need to take shortcuts, as long as smart people walk, that’s a shortcut.
"Let's go to Jianzhou first. I have some things I want to pick up at the back of Longhu Mountain. We can also go to Huishan opposite to watch a good show. Then I will send you back to Shangyin Academy. I will also Stay in the academy for a few days, and then go to Emperor Wu's City in the east."
Yu Youwei gently pressed her pointed chin against the lazy Bai Xuewu Mei Niang. She nodded and gently
Oh.
Lu Ze stretched out his hand and flicked her smooth and white forehead, and said with a smile: "There are quite a few scholars in the Academy. You are a woman from a common family, so you should have a better impression of these scholars, right?" "
Yu Youwei shook her head. His face was calm: "It is precisely because I come from a high family that I know many of these things. I understand that those so-called literati who do not regard the emperor as their noblest concern, but only worry about the world, when they are really faced with the emperor calling for official robes, they also understand How crazy."
Lu Ze snapped his fingers and laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right. For such a smart woman, it's more than enough for her to go to the academy and become Mr. Jishang."
Yu Youwei smiled, raised her head and looked at Lu Ze seriously. The young man in front of her did not have the luxury and elegance of a so-called royal child. When Yu Youwei thought of Lu Ze, who had spent many years with her under the same roof, In the future, he may be the master of Liyang and even the world, and extremely weird and unbelievable thoughts will appear in his heart.
So when she knew she was leaving, Yu Youwei sighed heavily in her heart.
She is just a lonely girl with a lost life. She is not as good as those who dare to die for their country, not as good as those who spend the rest of their lives avenging their country and family, not even as much as Jiang Ni who talks about assassination.
"Do you think His Highness is very charming?"
Lu Ze boasted, and Yu Youwei rolled her eyes at him charmingly.
After teasing Yu Youwei a lot, and ravaging the white cat Wu Meiniang for a while, Lu Ze stood up and prepared to leave. When he was about to go out, he turned around and said seriously: "If you don't feel comfortable staying in the academy, just Follow me to Tai'an City."
Yu Youwei looked in the direction of the door and was suddenly stunned. At this moment, she just felt a trance.
Wu Meiniang, who was extremely comfortable in her arms, had already curled up, raised her head and rubbed Yu Youwei's powerful chest, as if looking for a sense of presence, Yu Youwei rubbed this big fat white cat that knew how to eat and sleep. He turned his head and muttered to himself: "Wu Mei Niang, sometimes I envy you for being able to live so heartlessly, having enough food and drink, and being at home."
"Then...where is my home?"
At noon the next day, a notice came to the mansion, and a scholar named Lu Xu asked to see him.
Lu Ze looked at the blind young man Lu Xu who had already packed his bags and knew his answer without saying anything. Yu Youwei's eyes were full of surprise. She never expected that the only child of the Lu family who had suffered a huge family change would actually Are willing to risk everything and follow Lu Ze.
For a moment, Yu Youwei thought of herself, and her mood became extremely complicated.
Lu Ze didn't have any extra thoughts. He simply told Lu Xu about the next preparations. The latter silently nodded in agreement. He didn't have much in his possessions. Apart from two changes of clothes, he only brought the most books. , placed in a bamboo box on the back, the figure looks a bit stooped. There is a wooden box in the arms, in which is placed the most valuable guzheng.
Gambling cannot make Lu Xu's life worry-free.
So he would choose to go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to play the piano for those pitiful girls in his spare time to earn some money.
This kind of behavior was looked down upon by many scholars in Xiangfan City. They thought that all Lu Xu earned was dirty money, which was insulting to the gentlemen.
It's a pity that being polite can't be used as food.
...
The two carriages slowly left under the gaze of countless people in Xiangfan. These days, there are many children from powerful and aristocratic families in Xiangfan City. If they want to make friends with Lu Ze, they must at least be familiar with each other. Unfortunately, Lu Ze has no idea about these people. , the complacent Qingdang seems to have reached the point where the building is about to collapse, otherwise the Lu family's Shang Zhuguo would not think of finding a way out for the family.
On the one hand, the Lu family has no truly qualified heir who can protect the wealth accumulated over the years.
There is only one Lu Chengyan who is extremely smart and quick-thinking, but unfortunately she is also a girl.
The more important reason is that the Qingdang is already in a state of decline and is unable to recover. The blue-eyed chief minister in Liyang Court has shown extremely superb political skills. He has been in power for only more than ten years and has become extremely powerful. In addition, With constant conflicts within the Shangqing Party, Lu Feijiang decided to leave and quickly put the entire Lu family on another ship.
Two carriages left Qingzhou and passed through Yuzhou. They only stayed in Yuzhou for a few days and then quickly rushed towards Jianzhou.
Yu Youwei was extremely uneasy along the way. On the one hand, she was going to the academy soon, and on the other hand, she was worried about what problems might arise on the way. After all, she had personally witnessed the official Qian Zhou With everything that happened on the road, Yu Youwei, who was kidnapped by the Northern Liang scholar, had only seen the tip of the iceberg in the Northern Liang Palace, but she knew what Xu Ziqi meant in the realm of Northern Liang, and even more so. That prince is so cruel that he must be repaid.
Lu Ze and Yu Youwei were in the carriage in front, while Lu Xu, the blind man, was in the carriage behind with his common servant.
"No need to worry."
"Jianzhou has a rugged terrain and Cui Wei may encounter people blocking the road, but he will definitely not encounter cavalry encirclement and suppression."
"You should be more relaxed. If you have a big chest, your heart should be even bigger."
Only then did Yu Youwei realize that she had completely squeezed Wu Meiniang into her arms. The huge mountain peak made the white cat Wu Meiniang a little breathless. She immediately looked at her owner Yu Youwei with a pair of resentful eyes, and her tone was dissatisfied. Meowing twice, he turned his head and ran towards Lu Ze's arms. He changed his tone instantly and rubbed Lu Ze's chin affectionately with the cat's head.
Lu Ze enjoyed it very much.
Yu Youwei's cheeks turned red unconsciously.
The scenery outside the car window changes greatly. The boundary of Qingzhou is a flat river, with a huge lake running through it, forming many large lakes. However, the scenery of Yuzhou appears to be a bit uneven, until you really enter the boundary of Jianzhou, where the mountains and rivers enter the intestines. It can be seen everywhere.
There are two most famous places in Jianzhou.
Everyone knows the saying "Dragon and tiger in Jiangxi, Xuanyuan in Jiangdong".
The Xilujiang River divides Longhu Mountain and Huishan into two parts. The former is the ancestral home of Taoism. The Zhao family, a Taoist family with the same surname as the Emperor, has been a hereditary Taoist family for more than sixty generations. He has been close to Tai'an City in Liyang over the years. The Emperor of Liyang attaches great importance to Longhu Mountain. The mountain streams are surrounded by fairy air and are extremely beautiful.
In Qingzhou, the discussion about Longhu Mountain is limited to the Holy Land of Immortal Mansion.
Everyone in the world is obviously more curious about the Xuanyuan family in Huishan. The rumors circulating in the market can't be regarded as rumors. Any pretty woman in Qingzhou, whose family has a little more dignity, will choose to hide it tightly, and Those who wanted to cling to the Xuanyuan family hoped that the Huishan ancestor would favor their own women.
On the carriage, Lu Ze held Wu Meiniang, who was as sleepy as a white ball.
He whispered to Yu Youwei about the famous Jiangdong Xuanyuan family in Jianzhou: "This old man from the Xuanyuan family has only so-so martial arts. When he competed with Li Chunang in the sword competition, the sword god at the peak of his powers just casually poured out his sword intent and defeated him completely. Later, the Xuanyuan ancestor simply gave up swordsmanship and learned swordsmanship. Unexpectedly, he met the little-known Gu Jiantang again, and became the stepping stone for General Gu. Hushan Qitian Master struck down the world with one palm. Just looking at the first half of Xuanyuan Patriarch’s life, doesn’t it seem like a failure?”
"But this Ancestor Xuanyuan has a weird habit."
"He likes to find people who practice dual cultivation, and they are the kind who have no taboo on eating meat or vegetables, and who kill both men and women."
"It is said that on the back mountain of Huishan, if he has nothing to do, he will practice double cultivation with a woman who is young enough to be his granddaughter and great-granddaughter. He will not let go of his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. Zhen Zhen Zhen. This old man is not shy to pick the best ones as his forbidden wives. Generally speaking, in the family The girls are sent out for marriage, but the families of those who are married to the Xuanyuan family are grateful."
Yu Youwei's face turned pale.
Even whiter than Wu Meiniang's snow-white hair in Lu Ze's arms.
Lu Ze raised his hand and pinched her cheek, and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong?"
Yu Youwei took Wu Meiniang away, with resentment written all over her face.
"We're just going to the theater this time."
"Let's go to Longhu Mountain first. There are a lot of good things there. Those lucky purple lotuses in the back mountain are probably difficult to take away, but there is an old fishing guy in the Zhao family who has a lot of good things there."
Two carriages stopped at a tavern before entering the mountain.
.
The business here seems to be very good. There are many carriages parked outside the door. Next to them are several knife-wielding guys who are carrying rice bowls to eat and specially guarded. The flag facing the wind has the four characters Chang'an Escort written on it. Lu Ze left He glanced at it and muttered to himself, why is it not Longmen Escort Agency?
Entering the courtyard, Lu Ze found that a carriage was also parked in the courtyard.
The arrival of their group obviously became the focus of everyone's attention.
The gorgeous young man.
Beautiful woman holding a white cat.
Blind scholar.
Blindfolded man.
The object of most people's attention in the hospital was naturally Yu Youwei, who was holding a white cat in her arms. The latter frowned and leaned a little closer to Lu Ze, clearly sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere here.
Lu Ze glanced at the closed carriage and smiled.
He seemed to know what the situation was like today.
