Outside the east gate of Luoyang City, a group of people are saying goodbye.

"Brother is really in such a hurry?" Lu Xiaoxian asked with some regret, "I don't even have a chance to drink wine to give you a drink?" ”

"Leave this place of right and wrong early, I think I'll live longer!" On Gong Ren's heart palpitated, "Only when the head is still on the neck, can you drink more wine!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian fully understood Gong Ren's mood at the moment, an unwarranted disaster fell on his head inexplicably, and no one would feel comfortable in his heart. Now that the danger has passed, Gong Ren must of course hurry back to Liangzhou, in his opinion, only there is the safest.

On Gongren led the horse, looked at Luoyang City silently, turned around and smiled at Lu Xiaoxian: "I know I shouldn't say it, but I still have to say thank you!" ”

"What's the use of just saying thank you?" Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Gong Ren, "Prepare the wine, when I go to Liangzhou one day, don't tell me that the wine is not enough!" ”

"Of course not!" On Gong Ren's smile became brighter and brighter, he liked Lu Xiaoxian's straightforwardness. ”

The soldiers rode on their horses, lined up not far away, and waited quietly for Gong Ren.

Lu Xiaoxian saw Liu Yan King among them, and asked with a smile, "How about the people I recommended to you in the past?" ”

"All of them are veterans of the war, very good!" On Gongren gave a thumbs up, "If there are such veterans, I will give as much as you give!" ”

"The veteran doesn't, but the brother has one!" After that, Lu Xiaoxian pointed to Fan Ziming, who was standing beside him, "I want to entrust him to you!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian introduced Fan Ziming's situation to Non Gongren, and then explained: "I hope that Brother Non will strongly support the matter of falconry!" ”

"Don't worry!" On Gong Ren got up and got on his horse, hugged his fist at Lu Xiaoxian and said, "I can wait for your big ride, and we can't talk about it when the time comes!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded: "Get drunk!" ”

After saying that, Gong Ren beat his horse and left, and the soldiers and Fan Ziming rode closely behind, and in the dust, everyone's backs disappeared in an instant.

……

On the matter of Gongren being framed, Shangguan Wan'er helped Lu Xiaoxian a lot. Of course, he had to count what he said, and the day after he sent off Gongren, Lu Xiaoxian officially invited Shangguan Wan'er to come over to the mansion as a guest.

Of course, according to Shangguan Wan'er's meaning, Lu Xiaoxian invited Cui Xiang and Zhang Shuo at the same time.

At noon, outside the gate of Lufu.

Lu Xiaoxian saw Shangguan Wan'er, who was beautiful and elegant, slowly approached from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him politely: "Welcome Shangguan Shanggong to the cold house!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er did not wear palace clothes, but was dressed in civilian clothes, her skin was as delicate as warm jade, her soft light was greasy, her cherry mouth was red without dotting, and there was a red plum blossom tattooed on her forehead, which added a bit of seductive style.

She nodded and asked, "Are Master Cui and Master Zhang both here?" ”

"It's all here, just waiting for Shangguan Shang Palace!"

Lu Xiaoxian Shangguan Wan'er went to the living room to sit down, Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "There are no outsiders today, just the four of us, just have fun!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian clapped his hands and smiled: "What Shangguan Shanggong said is that everyone is an acquaintance, so don't be restrained." ”

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, who was sitting in the corner of the room, and asked strangely, "Young Master Lu, what is this little master called?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian replied with a smile: "He is my younger brother, named Lu Xiaoyi!" ”

"Why didn't you hear you had a younger brother?" Shangguan Wan'er became more and more strange.

"Not before, but now it is!" Lu Xiaoxian said solemnly, "He wants to see for a long time, so I will let him stay here!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's answer was ambiguous, Shangguan Wan'er didn't ask any more, and beckoned to Lu Xiaoyi: "Since you are the younger brother of Lu Gongzi, then come and sit together!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you Shangguan Shanggong, you can talk, I won't go!" ”

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er didn't say anything anymore.

Cui Xiang quietly glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and said to Lu Xiaoxian with some embarrassment: "Master Lu, I have something to ask you, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a big grin: "Master Cui has nothing to say, as long as I can do it, I will not shirk!" ”

"I made a bet with someone else to do one thing in three days, but today is the third day, and I have never done it, so I have to ask Mr. Lu to help me!"

Lu Xiaoxian said strangely: "What can be so rare to live Master Cui, let me hear it!" ”

Cui Xiang shouted outside the hall, "Take it in!" ”

The slave maid who accompanied Cui Xiang back and forth brought a tray, on which was a transparent glass bottle, and there seemed to be a copper coin in it.

Cui Xiang took the bottle, and the money in it was suspended.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at it, and it turned out that there was a thin wire in the bottle, one end of the thin wire was tied to the money, and the other end was connected to the cork, and the stopper had completely sealed the bottle.

"All I need to do is not break the bottle, remove the cork, break the cotton thread in the bottle!" Cui Xiang said with a bitter face.

Lu Xiaoxian frowned, how could anyone make such a bet.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian caught Cui Xiang and Shangguan Wan'er's gaze at a touch, which was quite indescribable.

Lu Xiaoxian's heart moved: It seems that the two of them are deliberately taking the school themselves.

"What's so hard about that?" Lu Xiaoxian smiled faintly and said, "I can break the thread without touching the bottle from beginning to end." ”

"How is that possible?" Shangguan Wan'er said in disbelief: "Unless you have an immortal magic." ”

Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "Although there is no immortal magic, I have a way to do it." ”

Shangguan Wan'er said with a deep meaning: "Master Lu, if you keep getting it, I will punish you for drinking later!" ”

"What if I break it?" Lu Xiaoxian asked with a smile.

"Then I'll punish myself with three glasses later!" Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er said without hesitation.

Lu Xiaoxian shouted: "That's good, a word is a deal!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er answered: "No repentance!" ”

The two sides agreed, and Lu Xiaoxian's eyes searched the room, wanting to find a device that matched his heart.

Seeing that his vision was wandering, Cui Xiang thought that Lu Xiaoxian had no bottom in his heart, and couldn't help but be concerned: "Master Lu, do you need any help?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian suddenly saw an identical glass bottle in the corner of the wall, which was placed there as a vase, so he smiled and said, "I have thought of a way." ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian stepped forward, pulled out the bouquet, and held the bottle in his hand.

Seeing the round bottle belly, Lu Xiaoxian was overjoyed, and instructed Lu Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, you go get some water." ”

Lu Xiaoyi agreed and went to bring a basin of water.

Lu Xiaoxian first washed the bottle clean, then filled it with water, and said with a smile: "Please move outside." ”

Shangguan Wan'er, Cui Xiang and Zhang Shuo glanced at each other, not knowing what was going on, but they still followed Lu Xiaoxian to the outside of the house.

Although it was autumn, the autumn tiger was still in full swing, and everyone in the noon sun soon sweated.

Lu Xiaoxian put the transparent glass bottle on a round table, and then held another same round bottle, standing under the sun, the hand holding the bottle still moved slightly, as if asking God to help him.

For a whole quarter of an hour, Lu Xiaoxian did not move, and Shangguan Wan'er and the others also calmed down and stood quietly behind Lu Xiaoxian.

Cui Xiang asked stupidly: "Young Master Lu, you don't want to break the thread like this, do you?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a trace of black smoke rising from the bottle, and then he heard a "clank" sound, and the coin fell to the bottom of the bottle.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't close her mouth in surprise, and exclaimed, "Young Master Lu, what's going on?" ”

Seeing that the silk thread in the bottle suddenly burned spontaneously from the middle, and Lu Xiaoxian did not get close to the bottle within three feet from beginning to end, but just stood aside holding the bottle filled with water, Shangguan Wan'er, Cui Xiang, and Zhang Shuo felt a chill in their backs.

Lu Xiaoxian originally wanted to pretend to be a ghost to increase his sense of mystery, but seeing that these people reacted so strongly, he had to give up this idea and said with a wry smile: "Don't think nonsense, this is just the method I see from the book." ”

Shangguan Wan'er broke the casserole and asked, "Which book did you see it from?" ”

"In the Western Han Dynasty's "Huainan Wanbi Shu", it is said that 'cutting ice makes a circle, lifting it to the sun, and taking the shadow of Ai Cheng, then the fire is born.' Lu Xiaoxian replied fluently.

Of course, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't imagine that Lu Xiaoxian's answer did not come from academics, but from Lu Xiaoyi's secret transmission.

Although he came from the afterlife, how could he understand everything? But it's different with Lu Xiaoyi here, he has a library in his head. Because of this, Lu Xiaoxian engraved the seal for Lu Xiaoyi to stay.

"What? Start a fire with ice? Shangguan Wan'er said in surprise.

She had only heard of "ice and fire are incompatible", but she had never heard of "ice can make fire", and couldn't help but look at Cui Xiang and Zhang Shuo, hoping that they could distinguish the truth from the false.

Cui Yu secretly blushed, he had heard of this book, but he had not read it. In fact, this book is not an isolated book, but I am too busy as an official, so how can I have the leisure to read those miscellaneous books.

Zhang said that he had read a lot, and he still had an impression of this sentence, so he asked in a slight voice: "Yes, there is indeed this sentence, but the book says 'cutting ice to make a circle', but you didn't take the ice." ”

Lu Xiaoxian explained with a smile: "The so-called ice cutting circle is just to get a transparent arc. I use a clear round belly bottle filled with water and the effect is the same. ”

"Just use this bottle to start a fire?" Shangguan Wan'er felt incredible: "What kind of truth is this?" ”

"The midday sun itself is scorching, and when it comes to a little bit through this bottle, it is equivalent to increasing the heat several times." Lu Xiaoxian explained in as plain terms as possible: "Move this point to the cotton thread, the cotton thread can't withstand the heat, so it burns." ”

Shangguan Wan'er probably understood, and admired Lu Xiaoxian again and again.

Cui Yu clapped his hands and said, "Master Lu, you solved the big trouble for me." That's the end of it, today's treat won't let us stand here and drink the northwest wind, right? ”

"Where, where, three of you, please!" Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly said.
