He raised his eyes and looked around for a while, then turned his head and said loudly to the carriage behind him: "Shopkeeper Qiu, you also come down to breathe, rest for a while and then set off!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian is really good to Hated Water and Qiu Tao's father and son, and he not only paid three times the honorarium for them to be guides along the way, but also specially prepared a spacious carriage for their father and son, such a generous employer is indeed rare.

Hatred Shui responded, and Qiu Tao got down from the carriage, and saw Lu Xiaoxian looking at them with a smile.

He hurriedly saluted Lu Xiaoxian: "Thank you Lu Gongzi!" ”

Hate Shui's original surname was Li, and his grandfather was Li Junxian, the prince of Wulian County, and it was his wish for many years to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for his wronged grandfather.

Over the years, he has traveled back and forth to Luoyang many times for this matter, I don't know how many people he has begged, and he has spent a lot of money and energy, but there has been no progress.

Just when the hatred was gradually dying, Lu Xiaoxian's appearance ignited a flame of hope in his heart.

A few days ago, Lu Xiaoxian told Hate Shui that he had a way to do this, but Hate Shui was still skeptical. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoxian's words were really counted, and it didn't take long for the imperial court to issue a holy decree, and Li Junxian was not only restored to the honorary title, but also was given the title of General Jin Wuwei.

What was once out of reach suddenly became a reality, and hating water felt like a dream. Although he didn't know how Lu Xiaoxian contributed to this, he had a deeper understanding of Lu Xiaoxian's energy.

After many years of a wish, Hate Water felt refreshed, and there was no need to stay in Luoyang any longer, so he was anxious to leave.

Although the hatred water is urgent, Lu Xiaoxian is not in a hurry at all, he has the same mind as Lin Yun, according to Lu Xiaoxian's way of walking, the year of the monkey can only rush to Taozhou?

Hatred asked tentatively: "Master Lu, weren't you in a hurry to go to Taozhou before, isn't it a little too slow to go like this?" ”

"This time and that time!" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "It's an eventful time now, the two countries on the Taozhou border are about to exchange arms, Wang Xiaojie and Wang are in charge of Taozhou, we will be more confident." If we rush to Taozhou before him, if something happens, won't we become ghosts? ”

Thinking that the two countries were about to fight each other, the hatred of the water was even more complicated, but what Lu Xiaoxian said was not nothing

reason, he is not bad at urging again.

Seeing that the hated water was silent, Lu Xiaoxian glanced at him meaningfully: "Could it be that the shopkeeper of Qiu is in a hurry to go to Taozhou?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm not in a hurry!" Hatred Water hurriedly waved his hand.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly, and suddenly asked after changing the topic: "In these days in Luoyang, can the shopkeeper Qiu pay homage to the Longmen Giant Buddha?" ”

"Huh?" Hatred Shui didn't know why Lu Xiaoxian suddenly asked like this, he nodded, "I've been!" ”

"I don't know how much manpower and material resources have to be spent to carve the huge mountain stone into a big Buddha for thousands of people to admire. But destroying it is very simple, just hollow out its foundation, and then gently push, the Buddha will instantly turn into a pile of rubble! ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, the expression on Hate's face changed several times, how could he not hear the warning in Lu Xiaoxian's words.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled dumbly, "I'm just joking, who has nothing to do, do you have to turn a good Buddha statue into gravel?" You say yes, Mr. Qiu? ”

The muscles on Hate's face stiffened a little, and he nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, this trip requires a lot of cooperation from the shopkeeper, and after the matter is completed, I will not treat you badly!" Lu Xiaoxian patted Hate Shui's shoulder, "You rest first, I'll take a look at the back!" ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian whistled, turned around and walked away with square steps.

Looking at Lu Xiaoxian's back, Qiu Tao asked his father in a low voice: "Dad, does he already know our identity?" ”

Hate Water nodded, then shook his head again.

"Why is he so cross-winding, is he going to eat us to death?" Qiu Tao was angry.

Hate Shui smiled bitterly, didn't he just eat it, and they didn't even have room to fight back.

After walking a long way, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly stopped, turned his head and shouted to the hated water: "That's right, the shopkeeper Qiu, remember to keep your spirits, we will continue to play at night!" ”

Hearing Lu Xiaoxian's words, the bitterness on Hate's face became even heavier.

I don't know where Lu Xiaoxian got such a big addiction, he has to pull him and the rest of the people every night, either to roll the dice, or to play pai gow, anyway, he will never rest in less than three watches, and Lu Xiaoxian is surprisingly lucky, and he will win every gamble. In just a few days, the hatred water not only paid Lu Xiaoxian

His honorarium was completely lost, and a few hundred taels of silver were put in upside down.

……

Several strong slaves carried various household goods on their shoulders, followed Lu Xiaoxian and walked towards the resting place of Sergeant Yulin.

Several sergeants were covered in evil spirits, and the knives in their hands were already unsheathed, as if they were about to see blood at any moment.

When he got closer, Lu Xiaoxian said to a vigilant Yulin sergeant: "Go and report to the envoy Lord Guo, just say that Lu has something to ask to see!" ”

In the past few days, whenever Lu Xiaoxian has rested, he will definitely come, and Sergeant Yulin has long been accustomed to it.

The sergeant answered, turned and galloped away.

After a while, Guo Zhen trotted over.

"Master Lu, if you want to come, come here, what do you say to ask to see, won't you torture me!"

Guo Zhen was originally the county lieutenant of Nanba County, and when he and the Liuren Army put down the rebellion, Lu Xiaoxian fought with him and knew his situation very well.

When he arrived in Luoyang, Lu Xiaoxian recommended Guo Zhen when he met Wu Zetian for the first time.

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's introduction, Wu Zetian was very curious about Guo Zhen, and specially issued an edict to announce that Guo Zhen would enter Beijing to see him.

When he met Wu Zetian, Guo Zhen had no stage fright and talked eloquently, and his performance made Wu Zetian very satisfied.

Wu Zetian was not guilty of Guo Zhen's past violations of the criminal law, not only promoted him to join the army as the right military guard Cao, but also specially asked him to recite the poem "Sword Chapter" aloud in front of the Manchu Dynasty when he met with the court, and even ordered someone to transcribe it and send it to the scholars to enjoy.

If it weren't for Lu Xiaoxian's strong recommendation, Guo Zhen would not be where he is today. Therefore, Guo Zhen is still full of gratitude to Lu Xiaoxian.

"You can't say that!" Lu Xiaoxian said seriously, "You are an envoy sent by the imperial court to Tubo, of course I asked to see a commoner!" ”

Guo Zhen showed a crying and laughing expression on his face, his "envoy" was not sent by the imperial court, but an official temporarily given to him by Lu Xiaoxian.

At the beginning, Wu Zetian summoned Chen Xuanli and Guo Zhen into the palace and clarified the tasks for the two of them.

Chen Xuanli's task is to lead fifty Yulin soldiers to protect Lu Xiaoxian throughout the process and not have any accidents.

Guo Zhen's task is very simple, everything is subject to Lu Xiaoxian's arrangement, and it is implemented unconditionally and without discount.
