"Commander Fu, long time no see."
In the lobby of the Lu Mansion, Lu Chen smiled and greeted Fu Hua, who was walking slowly.
When she saw Lu Chen sitting on the main seat, Fu Huan's delicate body trembled inexplicably, and a strange look flashed in her cold eyes.
Hearing Lu Chen's voice, her mind slowly flashed back to the time when she was overcoming the tribulation before, when the man frantically consumed his life force to activate the forbidden technique in the Jida Sword, desperately blocking in front of her, and was finally drowned in the raging flames. scene in.
Plop. Plop.
A strange emotion rose from deep inside. Although his face looked the same as before, his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
Then she took a deep breath and smiled at Lu Chen who was not far away.
"Lu, please, no, it's been a long time, Mr. Lu."
Lu Chen smiled and gestured to the side, "Please sit down."
Luo Xiaoyu did not follow him into the living room, but went to prepare tea very sensibly.
I don’t know why. Although the family is much better off and the Lu family has no shortage of servants, Luo Xiaoyu, the little housekeeper, still plays the role of a maid as before, insisting on personally taking care of Lu Chen’s daily life and receiving guests. , never let the servants take over.
Even if Lu Chen asked her not to work so hard, she wouldn't.
Fu Hua nodded and sat on the first seat below Lu Chen.
"When did you come back?"
Fu Huan said softly: "More than two hours ago, I entered the palace to report to His Majesty and the Holy King the situation in Yuzhou and Suizhou and then came here."
As she said that, she suddenly raised her hand, smiled at Lu Chen and said, "By the way, I haven't congratulated Mr. Lu on his promotion yet. I wonder when Mr. Lu will hold a banquet to celebrate?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "To me, getting promoted or something is just a change of position, there is nothing to celebrate."
Hearing this, Fu Hua didn't show any surprise on her face. She obviously knew that Lu Chen would say this.
"Shilang Lu is still as upright and upright as ever."
"Commander Fu is overly praised."
Lu Chen was polite for a moment, and then asked: "By the way, Commander Fu, how are the people in the two states doing now? How are Fang Yu and the others doing as acting county magistrates?"
Seeing Lu Chen asking about the people's current situation as soon as he came up, Fu Huan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The longevity tablets that can be seen everywhere in people's homes across the two states are really not just erected casually.
Only Governor Lu is a good official who, even though he has the emperor's favor, still sticks to his true intentions. He not only does not rely on this favor to be arrogant and domineering, but also uses it to benefit the people, he is worthy of the people's love.
"After Fang Yu and the others took office, they have always adhered to your teachings, Minister Lu, and put the people first in everything they do. They insist on condolences to the people, pay attention to people's livelihood, and personally solve various problems encountered by the people."
Fu Hua said slowly: "Although the lives of people everywhere are not yet rich, at least no one will starve to death. As long as they work hard, everyone can live a good and peaceful life."
"Before leaving the two states, I disguised myself and went to various places for unannounced visits. The local people were all full of praise for Fang Yu and other officials. They also saw everything you did for the people during your tenure as governor of the two states, Minister Lu. In my heart, now people in both states have memorial tablets of your longevity in their homes, Mr. Lu."
Hearing this, a complicated look flashed across Lu Chen's eyes.
Fu Huan continued to talk about the changes in the two states during this period.
From the livelihood of the people in each county, to the policy strategies of Fang Yu and others, to the people's love for the Yuzhou and Suizhou guards, and with the spontaneous help of the people, the floods were not only completely suppressed, but also shortened a large amount of the construction period, which provided great benefits to the court. Saved a lot of money and food.
After careful calculation, it turned out to be much less than the previous cost of conscripting labor to control floods.
Not only that, now that the military and civilians of the two states are integrated, the Yuzhou Guards and Suizhou Guards took the initiative to help the people along the way build bridges and pave roads on their way back to their bases after finishing their work on water control.
The common people rushed to bring fruits and snacks, but none of the guards accepted them. In the end, the common people even forced the food into the carriages.
Nowadays, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, the two guards commanders, are well-known in the local area. Almost everyone knows that there is such an army with a bodhisattva heart in the two states.
"Yeah."
After listening to Fu Hua's story, Lu Chen nodded with complicated eyes.
"That's good"
Although it doesn't quite meet expectations, this result is not bad at all.
"By the way, Commander Su and Commander Zhang have asked me to give you a message, Mr. Lu."
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but be startled.
Bring me a message?
Those two horse sellers were bullied so hard by me. They finally escaped from the clutches of their clutches. It would be great if they didn't seek revenge. Why did they ask Fu Hua to give me a message?
"What do they want to say to me?"
Fu Hua cleared her throat and said softly: "They said that they have realized your good intentions, Mr. Lu, and apologized to you for their ill-intentioned collision and malicious speculation. At the same time, they thanked you, Mr. Lu, for letting them realize the truth and allowing them many years. Those who have not yet improved their cultivation can break through the shackles. They are not villains who do not repay their kindness. There will definitely be surprises in store for the New Year Ceremony."
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Chen suddenly interrupted.
He stared at Fu Hua in surprise.
"They achieved enlightenment and breakthrough? And it was because of me?"
God has good intentions!
When did I have good intentions towards them?
Did these two guys have some huge misunderstanding about me?
Fu Hua nodded lightly, then smiled slightly and said: "Well, Minister Lu, the teachings you gave them at Tianmen Pass and on the way to the dam area were completely abandoned by the people after the flood control. When I was prejudiced against you, I finally fully understood the secret of generalship hidden in your words, and was able to make a breakthrough through enlightenment."
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
Is this okay?
And just when he was dumbfounded, Fu Hua seemed to think that the news was not exciting enough, and continued:
"Not only these two commanders, but also Fang Yu and others, when they carefully governed the counties according to your teachings, Shilang Lu, they all gained something and improved a lot in their cultivation. Some of them even touched the edge of the great road. Enlightenment is possible at any time.”
Lu Chen's eyes twitched again.
Worri, am I some kind of public cheat?
As soon as he thought about this, he felt more and more that he was a little evil.
After the empress heard his remarks that were incompatible with the mainstream values of this world, she immediately realized the Tao on the spot, and her cultivation continuously crossed several great realms.
After listening to his nonsense, Fu Hua directly realized the Tao and broke through to the Guiyi Realm.
Now there are two more generals who were very at odds with him, as well as Fang Yu, a half-assed county magistrate.
Isn’t it said that enlightenment is extremely difficult, and only one person in ten thousand can achieve enlightenment? Why the hell are the practitioners around me enlightening and making breakthroughs one after another?
Could it be that what I said is unreasonable?
Isn’t the man who said these words to Mao not enlightened?
The world is really poisonous, right?
"Forehead"
Lu Chen scratched his temples with a headache.
"Really? This is really gratifying."
Well, strictly speaking, this is not a bad thing.
It just feels a little weird.
Fu Hua suddenly stood up, then knelt down on one knee and bowed heavily to Lu Chen.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was slightly startled, then hurriedly stood up and asked urgently: "Commander Fu, what are you doing?"
"Down below."
Fu Hua's voice contained an indescribable solemnity.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu, for your kind words that night. If it hadn't been for Mr. Lu, I might not have been able to figure out my true intention in this life, and I would have been stuck in the void forever."
Hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head subconsciously and said:
"Commander Fu, please don't do this. It was just an unintentional remark during a chat after dinner. Commander Fu was able to break through entirely because of your excellent understanding. I didn't do anything on purpose. It was just a coincidence."
Fu Hua had no intention of getting up, but looked at Lu Chen seriously.
"Even so, Mr. Lu is still kind to me for enlightenment. Moreover, when I was attacked by thieves during the robbery, Mr. Lu did not hesitate to use his life to activate the forbidden technique to protect me and risk his life to save me. If not for this, I would have been killed in the hands of the thieves. In this way If you treat me with such kindness and kindness, how can I be any different from an animal if you treat me with indifference?"
Hearing Fu Hua's solemn words, Lu Chen suddenly had a bad feeling.
Words and ideas on how to downplay this matter kept running through my mind.
However, before he could speak, Fu Hua suddenly gave him a strong hand.
"Shilang Lu has been as kind to me as the ocean, and I can't repay you in return. From now on, if Shilang Lu is useful to me, it doesn't matter whether I go to the mountain of swords or the sea of fire. No matter what Shilang Lu wants to do, I will definitely go through fire and water. No matter what."
Lu Chen: "."
