Volume 1 Crossing the Tang Dynasty Chapter 71 A Wise Woman
After Lu Xiaoxian and Wei Xuzhong finished drinking, it was time to return to the Shuai Mansion.
As soon as I got back inside, I heard a knock on the door outside.
Lu Xiaoxian opened the door, and there was a person standing at the door, it was the maidservant Yin Feng who asked him for help outside Wei Xuzhong's house in the afternoon.
"Is there something wrong?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.
Yinfeng nodded, but did not speak.
"Come in!" Lu Xiaoxian said to her.
Yin Feng came into the house, covered the door, and knelt down in front of Lu Xiaoxian: "Childe saved Sister Langyue in the afternoon, and the slave Yin Feng thanked Childe for his great kindness!" ”
Only then did Lu Xiaoxian know that the woman who was almost stripped naked by Wei Xuzhong in the afternoon was Yinfeng's sister, named Langyue.
"You're sisters?" Lu Xiaoxian asked casually while looking at Yin Feng.
After careful inspection, Lu Xiaoxian found that Yin Fengchang was indeed somewhat similar to the green kite. The green kite is a stunning beauty, and the wind looks like a green kite, of course, it will not be bad.
"Yes!" Ngan Feng nodded.
"Your name is Yinfeng!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded, "That's a good name!" ”
"The names of the slave maid and sister were given by the lady!"
Lu Xiaoxian smiled and teased: "It's so late, you came to me to repay the favor, do you plan to make a promise?" ”
"Childe laughed!" Yin Feng blushed and explained: "The lord and the lady sent me, please go to the study to talk about it!" ”
"Lord and Madame invite me?" Lu Xiaoxian was stunned.
"Exactly!"
……
Lu Xiaoxian's residence was not far from the study, and under the guidance of Yin Feng, Lu Xiaoxian walked towards the study.
Along the way, his mind didn't have the slightest idleness.
Li Qianli and his wife made an appointment with them so late, for what?
Could it be that he has revealed some flaws?
No! No way!
Lu Xiaoxian made a judgment in a very short period of time: if Li Qianli saw him alone, it must be for the purpose of quelling the rebellion. But Murong Zhen is also involved, so it's not just a matter of counterinsurgency.
Murong Zhen's virtuous name, Lu Xiaoxian has heard of it.
He has never dared to despise women, especially the women of the Tang Dynasty, who shine more than any other dynasty in the history books.
Obviously, Murong Zhen, who is about to meet, belongs to the list of women who are difficult to deal with.
In the study of the Assassin's Mansion, Lu Xiaoxian is not the first time to come. The last time Feng Junheng asked him for advice, it was here. However, at this moment, the owner of the study room has been replaced by Feng Junheng and Li Qianli and his wife.
The furnishings in the study are very simple, with a few pieces of rice paper on the rosewood table and a brush on the inkstone. Against the wall is a row of bookshelves with several chairs and a coffee table under them.
In the swaying lights, Li Qianli and Murong Zhen were sitting on chairs, waiting for Lu Xiaoxian.
Yin Feng introduced Lu Xiaoxian into the study, and then closed the door and went out.
"The younger generation has seen the crusade envoy! I've seen Madame! Lu Xiaoxian respectfully saluted Li Qianli and Murong Zhen.
"Excuse me, Mr. Lu, please take a seat!" Li Qianli was quite polite to Lu Xiaoxian.
After settling down, the three of them began to greet each other. What he said was something that was not nutritious, but Lu Xiaoxian always kept smiling and behaved very calmly.
"Why did Lu Gongzi come back so late!" Murong Zhen seemed to be very concerned and said, "After talking about the Ruyi rebellion, the security in Panzhou is not as good as before, but you have to pay attention to safety!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian secretly became vigilant in his heart: It seems that he is about to get to the point.
Murong Zhen was really scheming, and did not go straight to the topic, but first said some innocuous words to eliminate Lu Xiaoxian's defensive mentality, and then slowly entered the topic.
Lu Xiaoxian paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Lord Wei used to have some friendship with the juniors, since they live in the Shuai Mansion together, of course they want to visit." He had to drag the juniors to drink, and it was difficult to be gracious, so the juniors had to go with him, so he came back late, and Mrs. Lao was worried! ”
Lu Xiaoxian knew very well that their conversation tonight was a temptation to say something wrong. All three are audience members and actors. True and false, false and true, false and true, false and true, true and false. If you want to distinguish the real from the fake, you have to use your brain well, and the distinction is too clear, I'm afraid that in the end, you will have to turn around and vomit against the wall.
Before coming to the study, Lu Xiaoxian was ready to respond to all changes with no change. Before speaking, he pretended to be slow to react, and paused for a moment, just to set up a maze array. Whether he was telling the truth or not, he had no superfluous expression on his face and was always smiling.
Because of this short pause, Murong Zhen didn't dare to easily judge the truth of his words.
"Is Gongzi Lu familiar with Lord Wei?" Murong Zhen asked casually.
"It's not very familiar, we are just a few faces!"
Lu Xiaoxian told him how he got to know Wei Xuzhong.
This time, Lu Xiaoxian did not hide it. Since it is true or false, of course, it is necessary to tell the truth when appropriate.
"Oh! It turned out to be for the son of the Feng family! After hearing this, Murong Zhen said meaningfully: "I didn't expect that Gongzi Lu was quite concerned about the affairs of the Feng family!" ”
"It's not a good idea, Lord Assassin Shi has a good official reputation, and he has a good reputation in Panzhou, and the younger generation is just a gesture!" Speaking of this, Lu Xiaogossip changed his mind and said, "It's that Madame is related to the Feng family, and the Feng family is about to have a catastrophe, so you should take care of it more!" ”
Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Murong Zhenxin couldn't help but be shocked.
In Lingnan, although the Murong family is not as famous as the Feng Tan family, it is also a veritable wealthy family.
Back then, among the 300 people Feng Ye brought with him when he joined the Song Dynasty, there were many people from the Murong royal family. Just like the Feng family branching out in Lingnan, the Murong family is also growing.
For hundreds of years, the Murong family and the Feng family have been constantly married, and they are really in-laws who have been cut as Lu Xiaoxian said.
Even Murong Zhen married Li Qianli back then, and it was Feng Junheng who pulled the thread in it. Except for a few parties such as Murong Zhen, Li Qianli, and Feng Junheng, few people know about this matter, and even many people in the Feng family and Murong family don't know about it.
Such a secret thing, Lu Xiaoxian would actually know, how could Murong Zhen not be shocked?
Murong Zhen asked noncommittally: "What does Gongzi Lu mean when he said that the Feng family is in trouble?" ”
"Wan Guojun came to Panzhou to deal with Feng and Tan, but he has the support of His Majesty behind him, so he will be unscrupulous. He forced the Tan family to rebel, and now the top priority is to quell the rebellion, and he can't take care of the Feng family for a while. Once the Tan family is cleaned up, the next unlucky one will definitely be the Feng family! ”
Murong Zhen deliberately defended: "Lord Feng fully supports the suppression of the rebellion, the imperial court should be able to see it, how can it still deal with the Feng family?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian smiled coldly: "Feng Tan and the two families are the largest families in Lingnan, and if the Tan family is reversed, will the Feng family be alone?" Madam thinks that His Majesty and those ministers of the imperial court, will they believe in the Feng family? ”
Murong Zhen was speechless and couldn't help sighing.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Li Qianli hurriedly diverted the topic: "Young Master Lu, I have seriously considered the methods you said about dealing with the rebels during the day. Some of them are difficult to implement, and I would like to ask Mr. Lu for advice! ”
Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Your Excellency is worried about the installation of fine works and the recruitment of locals? ”
Li Qianli is indeed worried about these two things.
After coming to Panzhou for so many days, I can't even find the shadow of the rebels, so how can I talk about planting details?
As for recruiting locals who are familiar with the terrain, it's even harder. talked about Ruyi's rebellion, and many young people were coerced away by him, and there were not many people left in Panzhou. Even if they can really be recruited, Li Qianli won't dare to use it, who knows what their relationship is with those rebels, if in case...
Li Qianli nodded hurriedly: "Gongzi Lu is really like a god!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to install it carefully, you have to find a chance for this matter, and the younger generation will find a way! Recruit locals, adults don't have to worry, tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, Wan Guojun will come up with an idea, adults just need to push the boat down the river and agree! ”
"Wan Guojun?" Li Qianli was stunned, "Can he come up with an idea?" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, he will definitely come up with it!" Lu Xiaoxian explained, "Of course, he didn't do this to share the worries of adults, but because of his wishful thinking!" ”
"What the hell is going on?" Li Qianli became more and more confused.
Lu Xiaoxian looked at Murong Zhen: "Madam, it's better for you to explain to the adults!" ”
Murong Zhen glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, and said to Li Qianli with an expressionless face: "What Lu Gongzi means is that Wan Guojun will come up with the idea of recruiting people to form an army to deal with the rebels!" ”
"Recruiting rogues, why did he mention that?" Li Qianli still didn't understand.
"Although most of the exiles are sinners, they will never be in cahoots with the rebels who talk about wishful thinking, and they can be used with confidence! Wan Guojun came to Panzhou because someone falsely accused the exiles of rebellion, of course he would try his best to involve the exiles! Speaking of this, Murong Zhen sighed, "This plan to kill two birds with one stone is really vicious!" ”
Li Qianli was completely stunned.
After being stunned for a while, he asked again: "Master Lu, how can you conclude that he will definitely mention this idea?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian said lightly: "My lord, don't forget, he is a well-known cool official, if you don't mention him, he won't be Wan Guojun!" If you don't believe me, let's wait and see! ”
Murong Zhen said suddenly: "Master Lu, my husband often said that my grandfather had a great favor to him, and the Lu family and the husband's family are family friends, and they are a family. If Gongzi Lu doesn't dislike it, he will be commensurate with his husband's uncle and nephew in the future, how about it? ”
Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Murong Zhen with a smile, he couldn't help but admire this woman, she was really smart.
It seemed that Murong was really courting him in this way. In fact, in this way, she tied the fate of Lu Xiaoxian and Li Qianli together, one side was in trouble, and the other party could not escape. Since they're all in the same boat, the ship sinks, and everyone can't live.
Murong Zhen did this, some of his taste was in it, Lu Xiaoxian could understand her distress, besides, she used Lu Xiaoxian, which showed that Lu Xiaoxian still had use value, otherwise if she wanted to be used, people would not want to!
"Then the junior will climb high! I don't know what adults think? Lu Xiaoxian asked Li Qianli.
"It should have been like this a long time ago, or Madame thought it through!" Li Qianli didn't have as many scheming as Murong Zhen, but he was sincerely willing to accept Lu Xiaoxian.
The two sides exchanged uncles and nephews, and after greeting for a while, Lu Xiaoxian got up and said goodbye.
Murong Zhen stood up and said to Li Qianli: "Husband, I'll send you off Xian'er for you!" ”
Murong Zhen really entered the play very quickly, and even changed his name for Lu Xiaoxian.
Li Qianli nodded at Murong Zhen: "There is Mrs. Lao!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian knew that Murong really had something to say to him, so he didn't refuse.
