Chapter 173: What did Luan Huang want to do?
Lu Wu had repeatedly promised that Qi Xi would go as a guest before, and it was time to fulfill his promise.
He actually didn't want to have too much contact with Qi Xi.
It's not that Qi Xi has a bad sense, on the contrary, he has always shown himself as a moderate, giving people a sense of comfort like walking on a spring breeze.
It's just that Lu Wu doesn't know about Luan Shu, otherwise he will find one thing in comparison, Qi Xi is copying Luanshu's old line at all.
To put it simply, they are the same kind of people, with an eight-sided exquisite heart, but whoever they want to give any impression, the character design can always be perfect.
No matter who it is, when it enters the coffin, the fake becomes real.
Lu Wu is naturally wary of people who are all-encompassing.
There is a modern saying that "a saint always burns the people close to him to illuminate himself and shine on future generations."
The contradiction between Luan's and Hao's began to appear, causing Luan Shu to be unable to fit into the coffin, and his character began to collapse.
Lu Wu, who was not very well-informed, knew that Luan Shu was beginning to deal with the Hao family, and it was conceivable that the contradictions between the two sides were irreconcilable.
Qi Xi, who is also doing the same character, when will he reveal his true colors?
Lu Wu didn't want to be the one who made Qi Xi lift his mask.
He first sent Liang Xing to Qi Xi's main mansion to inform him of the news that he would visit.
The day after leaving from Wei's side, Lü Wu came to Qi Xi's residence.
The person who greeted him was Qi Xi's son Qi Wu.
The young man was sorry to tell Lu Wu that his father had been ready to greet him, but the monarch suddenly summoned him.
To put it clearly, Qi Xi is not at home, and he doesn't know when he will come back.
This is, of course, a very faux pas.
After all, Lu Wu had already sent someone to inform him in advance, but Qi Xi did not send someone to tell Lu Wu that he was not at home and could not entertain him after he left.
Qi Wu looked at Lu Wu curiously, and at the same time apologized sincerely.
If the nobles who are more serious and chicken-bellied, just send someone to send a notice but are released pigeons, they can become enemies.
There is no reason why Qi Wu did not make a sincere apology.
Lu Wu only remembered a story when he saw Qi Wu, and thought that this young man was one of the corners of "being virtuous and not avoiding relatives and enemies".
That what?
The virtuous do not avoid revenge - the recommended enemy is dying of old age.
Juxian does not shy away from relatives - his son is in his prime.
Let's just say, is Qi Xi very good at playing?
Lu Wu politely followed Qi Wu in, and left after chatting for a long time.
didn't even enter the door, indicating that it was unhappy, and the two sides didn't have a grudge and didn't get along.
Go in and accept the hospitality, saying that even if you mind, the matter will be over.
Lu Wu would not have known about these ceremonial matters before, but after Han Ju invited those teachers to teach in the past, he could learn to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Now is an era when you don't know etiquette, and you don't know when you offend people.
So, can Lu Wu not learn with all his heart?
He was more curious about what the monarch was making trouble about, which caused Qi Xi to be urgently summoned.
Presumably, it will not be a trivial matter.
These days, Luan Shu and the monarch, who hold the position of ruler, are very busy.
A lot of nobles exchanged land with each other, causing the Jin Kingdom to look a little chaotic.
Many offer a relatively small but well-developed piece of land for an undeveloped but large area.
They have their own ideas, they feel that the size of the land is the key, and everything else can give way.
Luan Shu didn't want to see that happen.
How long will it take for families who replace their land and choose to relocate to develop new land?
Many families took the opportunity to replace the enclaves with others, and the land under their names was concentrated, and the cost of governing the fiefs was reduced, which was not necessarily a good thing for the country.
On the one hand, Luan Shu is against it, but on the other hand, Luan Shu is doing the same thing.
From the perspective of modern people, Luan Shu not only contradicts each other, but also seems very hypocritical.
But that's not the way people see it today.
They knew that Luan Shu was opposing and doing it themselves, so they divided this matter into layers.
First of all, the reason why Luan Shu is against it is only because he is in power and is fulfilling his responsibilities as a gover.
While he is in power, he is also the head of the Luan family, and he must also be responsible for the development of the Luan family.
Nowadays, people's way of thinking and logical concepts are not "straight lines", they are divided into a sense of hierarchy, that is, one thing is one code, and cannot be the same.
Therefore, the Qing family takes official affairs extremely seriously, and they do a good job of reaping benefits for themselves, and it can be seen that Lu Wu's brain is often a little confused.
Of course, the Qin State ceded the territory, and not all the nobles of the Jin State could obtain it, and what was needed was to make a contribution in this war against the Qin State in order to be eligible to get a piece of the pie.
The land west of the Great River has nothing to do with Lü Wu.
The matter of each family replacing the fief needs his attention.
There will be changes in the neighbors of the old Lu family, who they are replaced with, and what kind of background they are, the sooner you know, the better.
Now "Lü" has also become Lü Wu's fief, and he found that his family has borders with the Han family, Zhongxing clan, and Luan clan among the big nobles, and there are several small and middle-aged nobles bordering the fiefs.
With such a big move in the Jin Kingdom, not only the nobles of their own country need to quickly figure out their own positioning, but the rest of the countries also need to find out the information about the changes in the fiefdoms of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible.
As for redrawing the map, you need to wait for the fiefdom exchange to be completed.
Lu Wu was sure.
So many families in the Jin Kingdom are moving, and on the premise of not being harassed by foreign enemies, there will be no more big moves.
"Wu!"
Lu Wu was originally drawing a map in the sand table, but when he heard the call, he looked up and saw Han Wuji running over in a hurry.
After Han Wuji stood still, he said, "Each family is hunting, just waiting for martial arts." ”
In this matter, no one invited Lu Wu in advance?
Han Wuji saw the confusion on Lu Wu's face and explained, "There is no you, but I am adding a new one." There are many more. ”
Luan Huang?
When you go on a trip and invite someone temporarily, it must be to show off something.
It's just that it's rude!
Lu Wu asked who they were.
Han Wuji recited a lot of names, all of them were children of a big family without exception.
Those who were invited later, including Lu Wu, were all middle-class nobles.
This made him even more sure that Luan Huang wanted to show off in some way.
After some preparations, Lu Wu and Han Wuji were in the same car, and left Xintian to the suburbs.
You can see a lot of people from afar.
Most of course, they were accompanied by samurai, all of them in full armor.
Luan Huang and other young men gathered together and chatted, unlike the samurai, they only carried weapons and did not wear armor.
On the outskirts of Xintian, within ten miles of the city wall, the woods had been cut down clean.
As a result, the city needs to run at least ten miles of firewood every time.
The woods are not cut down on a daily basis by fire or otherwise, they are completely deliberate, and are considered a normal practice for defending the city.
In addition to preventing the enemy from using the woods to stealthily approach, it also makes it more difficult for the enemy to camp and make siege equipment.
Hunting is a thing that the nobles of Zhuxia often do, and they generally use hunting to train their own private army.
So, aristocratic hunting is really not purely for fun.
When he arrived at the place, Han Wuji got out of the car and went over to find the children of the Qing family.
Lü Wu was soon surrounded by a group of children from middle-class aristocratic families, including Wei Jiang, Wei Jie, and Wei Xiang.
He greeted them one by one and chatted with them.
Wei Jie was very much like his father Ling Hu, not referring to his appearance, he belonged to the kind that had something to say, and walked up to Lu Wu and whispered: "The Luan clan has three hundred armor soldiers. ”
When Lu Wu came, he saw a large area of "golden light", and wondered who had dispatched so many warriors wearing bronze armor.
It turned out to be from the Luan family?
Don't look at just three hundred armor, although bronze armor and iron armor are both armor, with the current concept, regardless of the strength of defense, wearing bronze armor is noble, wearing iron armor belongs to the type that does not have that life.
Always say what armor and the like, there are not many people who really wear metal armor, and wearing leather armor is the mainstream.
The Jin army judged that the armor had its own standards, what kind of weapons could be carried, such as being unable to penetrate by arrows, in order to be counted as armor.
Of the various families present, except for the three hundred armorers wearing bronze armor brought by Luan Huang, there were only a small number of warriors wearing metal armor from each family, most of them wearing leather armor, and even fewer wearing rhinoceros skin.
After waiting in place for about two quarters of an hour, it should be time to come, and I don't want to wait if I didn't come?
Luan Huang took the lead in climbing the chariot and acted as the one who gave orders, and shouted with a wave of his big hand: "Go!" ”
These nobles rode in chariots, and the samurai had to follow on foot.
Walking on the avenue, disturbing the normal passers-by.
Lu Wu, who was standing on the chariot, saw the civilians retreat to the side of the road and knelt down, and it was difficult to have any psychological fluctuations after seeing too much.
Civilians are at least better than slaves.
Slaves cannot follow the path that their masters will take, and they can even be put to death if they step on the shadow of their masters.
When Lu Wugang knew what was going on, the word "Ah San" appeared in his mind.
Coming to a plain, mostly empty, but with a small range of woods.
It is up to each family to hunt on their own or in a group.
Anyway, it wasn't the nobles who went out to look for their prey, but the samurai who scattered out to find and drive the animals within a certain range.
Every nobleman cleans the animals in the fiefdom every year, and a nobleman is no stranger to hunting.
Lu Wu had always wondered what Luan Huang wanted to show off.
Is it to show off those bronze armorers?
Although the number of bronze armor in each house is not large, it is quite a beautiful thing to have three hundred sets of bronze armor.
However, the defensive power of leather armor can reach the effect of bronze armor, is it worth showing off so much?
Actually, it's worth it.
This is what productivity and technology dictate at the moment.
Luan Huang certainly has the meaning of showing off the family armor, but more to show off that he can call friends to hunt.
Showing Luan's influence is one thing.
In addition, Xintian including the suburbs is not the fiefdom of the Luan family, but the asset of the monarch.
Who is qualified to hunt without the consent of the king?
The rest of the nobility understood it at the beginning.
Only Lu Wu, who was not a native of the Spring and Autumn Period, did not understand what Luan Huang wanted to express was that the Luan clan subdued the monarch this time and won a victory in the game between the monarch and the ministers for the aristocracy.
The luck of the old Lu family is good, it seems that there are often nobles who come to hunt, and the samurai actually go to catch an adult tiger.
Lu Wu had already personally killed the tiger more than once, and the bear had also personally killed two of them.
He was considering whether to make a sliding shovel when he heard the sound of the chariot rolling and the movement of many people running.
Luan Huang came in a chariot, but he didn't know if it was deliberate, or was he just passing by?
He asked the driver to stop, stepped on the human cushion and went down, just in time to see Lu Wu's sharp blade slashing at the forehead of the tiger that was leaping high.
It was a scene of a tiger being cut directly from the middle forehead to the tail, and the rain of blood turned into two petals in mid-air.
Being able to kill a tiger is not the key, many warriors can fight tigers.
Luan Huang dared to swear that it was the most crisp and easy to kill he had ever seen.
He froze in place for a few breaths, then turned silently to leave......
