After arriving in Luzhou, the first task is to settle down. Buying a house, buying furniture and other matters were handled by Cen Shaobai, Ji Wen and Liu Qi, who arrived in advance. Learning from the lessons learned in Chang'an, Lu Xiaoxian laid out the residence in advance.

According to Lu Xiaoxian's arrangement, Cen Shaobai bought a total of four properties in Luzhou City.

The largest one is a three-entry cross-courtyard, very quiet, very spacious, there are more than 30 rooms, respectively for Chen Song and his wife, Jiang Xiaotong, Ying'er, Yinfeng, Langyue, Uncle Hai, Wei Xianyun, Yan Gu, Li Si and they live.

The middle one is inhabited by Ji Wen, Cen Shaobai, Liu Qi, Zhang Tang and others.

The third place is specially prepared for Yang Ke and Rouge. According to Cen Shaobai's meaning, he originally planned to let Yang Ke and his wife live in the same courtyard with him, but Lu Xiaoxian considered that Rouge was pregnant, so he asked Cen Shaobai to buy them a house, and also hired three or five maids and old mothers to serve Rouge.

The fourth property is a dilapidated and cramped compound with only three cottages that have not been renovated in years. The reason why I bought such a yard was not because Cen Shaobai didn't have any silver, but because Lu Xiaoxian specially confessed.

Cen Shaobai didn't know what Lu Xiaoxian meant, but he still did it. In order to meet Lu Xiaoxian's conditions, Cen Shaobai did not work hard, and finally found such a place.

This courtyard was left by Lu Xiaoxian to live with Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaoyi.

The defeat of Chang'an City made Lu Xiaoxian sum up the lesson: when the strength is not good, it is best to hide in the shadows and not expose yourself easily, only in this way can you finally give the enemy a fatal blow.

Therefore, he must be separated from Jiang Xiaotong, Cen Shaobai and others, and not let outsiders see the relationship between them, only in this way can the predetermined plan be successfully implemented.

On the fifth day of the second lunar month, the grass in Luzhou City has begun to turn green, and the morning wind still makes people shiver.

In the humble house, after breakfast, Lu Xiaoxian wiped his mouth and said to Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaoyi: "Let's go, let's go to the street!" ”

When you arrive in a place where you are not familiar with life, if you want to gain a foothold, you must be familiar with the local customs and basic conditions as soon as possible.

In the past few days, the three of them have wandered around the streets and alleys, and they have a general understanding of the situation in Luzhou, but they are still far from what Lu Xiaoxian expected.

As soon as he walked out of the house, Yan Gu happened to enter the courtyard through the door. The emperor of Luzhou Tiangao is far away, and Yan Gu no longer needs to pretend to be a little girl, and has recovered his male body.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Yan Gu in surprise: "Gu'er, you don't stay at Sister Xiaotong's place, what are you doing here?" Didn't you say it, try not to come here if it's okay, I'll take the time to sneak in to see you! ”

"Brother Xiaoxian, I have something to look for you!" Yan Gu said solemnly.

That's right, Yan Gu has his own mind. Since practicing martial arts with Jiang Yuqiao, Yan Gu is no longer satisfied with living under Lu Xiaoxian's care. On the contrary, he felt that he had grown up and felt that he should do something for Lu Xiaoxian.

On the way to Luzhou, the most chatted between Lu Xiaoxian and Wei Xianyun was how to find out the news up and down Luzhou. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Lu Xiaoxian didn't expect that his conversation with Wei Xianyun had been secretly remembered by Yan Gu.

Lu Xiaoxian had a problem, and Yan Gu wanted to help him solve it in order to relieve his worries.

However, how can I help Lu Xiaoxian find out the news?

Yan Gu had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't come up with a suitable way for several days. Under Yan Gu's side knock, Uncle Hai told him a message: the beggar has a special identity and a wide range of contacts, and can get a lot of information.

So, a bold idea was formed in Yan Gu's mind. When they arrived in Luzhou, everyone was busy settling down, but Yangu quietly slipped out. He looked around in the streets and alleys of Luzhou City, and sure enough, he found many beggars, men, women, and children, and even younger than Yan Gu, which made him completely determined.

"What? To do it and call Hanako? Lu Xiaoxian was taken aback when he heard Yan Gu's explanation, and said without thinking about it, "No, absolutely not, I don't agree!" ”

"Why not?" Yan Gu pouted and said, "Brother Xiaoxian, I've grown up, I can do it!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian persuaded Yan Gu: "Gu'er, your kindness Brother Xiaoxian has it, you go to call Huazi, Brother Xiaoxian is not at ease!" ”

Yan Gu stubbornly said: "I'm thirteen years old, what's not to worry about?" I must go! ”

"Gu'er, it's not as simple as you think, you may meet a lot of bad people, what if something happens?"

"Brother Xiaoxian, don't worry, I practice martial arts with my master, and now it can come in handy, ordinary people can't bully me!"

"No way!" No matter what Yan Gu said, Lu Xiaoxian was these two words, and he didn't agree with it.

Yan Gu was anxious, he shouted at Lu Xiaoxian: "Even Mr. Wei said that my method is feasible and supports me to go, why doesn't Brother Xiaoxian agree to let me go?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian was stunned: "What? Mr. Wei agrees with you to go? ”

Yan Gu said with a dissatisfied face: "Of course it's true!" If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Wei! ”

Lu Xiaoxian was silent for a long time, and said to Yan Gu: "Gu'er, I agree with you to go, but you must be more careful!" ”

Yan Gu had a smile on his face again, he answered happily, and ran away.

Zhang Meng said strangely on the side: "Xiao Xian, Gu Er spent so much time just now, and you didn't agree with him going." Why did you agree as soon as you heard Mr. Wei say yes! ”

Lu Xiaoxian sighed and said, "I'm just worried about Gu'er, in fact, Mr. Wei is right, it's time to let Gu'er exercise!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded on the side and said, "I also think it's feasible!" ”

Counting up, Lu Xiaoyi is two years older than Gu'er, and when he is as old as Yangu, Lu Xiaoyi can already stand alone.

"Xiaoxian, do you believe in Mr. Wei so much?" Zhang Meng reminded, "Don't forget, he is the person of Princess Taiping, in case ......"

Without waiting for Zhang Meng to finish speaking, Lu Xiaoxian said: "No case, I believe in Mr. Wei!" ”

Zhang Meng wanted to say something, but Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian pulled Lu Xiaoyi out of the yard.

Looking at Lu Xiaoxian's back, Zhang Meng shook his head and followed.

……

Because of its dangerous terrain, Luzhou was the backbone of the world during the Warring States period, and Tian Yue was known as the eye in the abdomen during the construction period. The so-called spine of the world, refers to Luzhou condescending, from Luzhou east out of Huguan, is Xiangzhou, Weizhou, from Zezhou south out of Tianjing Pass is Huai, Meng Erzhou, from Xiang, Wei, Huai, Meng south, across the Yellow River can be close to Luoyang and Kaifeng, who occupies the geographical advantage of Luzhou, can include the three Jin, the prancing horse and the Central Plains, so since ancient times it has been a place for soldiers to fight.

Luzhou City is five miles long from east to west, seven miles long from north to south, and there are four main streets in the ancient city. Among them, East Street and West Street are opposite, South Street and North Street are not opposite, and North Street is easterly. Therefore, the north gate is not opposite to the south gate, and the north gate is easterly.

There are all kinds of shops and inns in the city, which are lively and prosperous, and the cross street at the intersection of East and West Avenue is the most luxurious. There are many workshops and shops. The camel gang and horse teams came and went, and they came and went frequently. Although it is not as good as Chang'an, it is not a little stronger than Youzhou City.

The three of them wandered around the street, and at noon, they were about to find a shop to fill their stomachs, when they heard someone arguing at the entrance of the alley.

Lu Xiaoxian walked closer curiously, and saw two young people arguing, seeing that both of them were sons of rich families.

One of the shorter men pressed the other against the wall and couldn't move, and his mouth was not idle: "If you don't make amends to him today, I won't spare you!" ”

Not far away, a burden and basket fell to one side, and the cakes fell everywhere. The old man who carried the burden had a bitter face, picked up the cake, blew the dust on it vigorously, and then put the cake into the basket.

Needless to say, it was the tall man who kicked the old man's basket to the ground, and the short man was arguing with him.

Although the son who was pressed against the wall was at a disadvantage, he did not show weakness, and he wrestled with the other party while saying cruel words: "Song Di, the master will not apologize today, see what you can do to the master?" Dare to move a single hair, you try it? ”

The young man named Song Di obviously didn't want to offend the other party, he didn't punch the other party to teach the other party, but just pressed him against the wall.

The tall boy didn't break free of Kaiyan with all his might, and he couldn't hold his face and slapped Song Di.

This can completely provoke Song Di, and he can't care so much, just a few punches aimed at his stomach, and directly paralyze him to the ground.

Song Di snorted at the slumped son, ignored him, and turned around to help the old man pick up the cake.

Lu Xiaoxian probably understood the situation on the side, and Song Di's behavior made Lu Xiaoxian appreciate it very much, and without thinking about it, he stepped forward to help pick up the Hu Cake.

Of course, Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaoyi couldn't be idle, and stepped forward to help together.

"Thank you, sons!" The old man looked grateful, and couldn't help but thank a few people.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.

"I got in the way of that boy and made him angry!" The old man's words were full of self-blame.

When Lu Xiaoxian looked back again, the tall boy was gone.

"Yan Zhan is not a thing, the old man is so old, he still bullies others!" Song Di said angrily.

Lu Xiaoxian let out an "oh", it turned out that the tall boy's name was Yan Zhan.

Lu Xiaoxian asked curiously, "Song Gongzi, who is Yan Zhan?" ”

"I don't know what to call a few people?" Only then did Song Di remember to ask Lu Xiaoxian the names of the others.

"My name is Lu Xiaoxian, and his name is Zhang Meng! That's my younger brother, named Lu Xiaoyi! Lu Xiaoxian said with a smile.

"Listening to the accent, you're not from Luzhou, are you?" Song Di asked.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't think about it, so he casually made up a lie: "We are all from Youzhou, and we have just come to Luzhou for a few days!" ”

As they spoke, several people had already picked up all the Hu cakes into the basket.

The old man thanked him again and again, and left with his burden.
