How could there be such a thing?

Will Lu Xiaoxian's original prediction really come true?

Xie Yunxuan's brows tightened, and he felt the seriousness of the matter.

Lu Xiaoxian proposed: "Senior Brother Yunxuan, can you let Zhao Wenhui release grain for disaster relief first, and I will find a way to deal with the matter of the holy decree and official documents!" ”

Xie Yunxuan was at a loss and said: "I told him about this, but he insisted on waiting for the holy decree of the imperial court to arrive before he could open a warehouse and release grain!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian thought for a while, and said to Xie Yunxuan: "Senior Brother Yunxuan, you quickly send someone to ask the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion not to drive Feng Qingshan over, he is more familiar with the situation in Yingzhou, maybe he can come up with a good way!" ”

Xie Yunxuan was stunned: "Do you know Feng Qingshan?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian said haha: "That's what I only met recently!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian was obviously perfunctory, Xie Yunxuan did not expose it, he hurriedly sent someone to invite Feng Qingshan.

After Feng Qingshan came, he listened to Lu Xiaoxian finish talking about what happened.

He nodded and said, "Zhao Dudu is right, without the will of the imperial court, it is necessary to open a warehouse and release grain at will to the imperial court!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian said eagerly: "Then there is no other way?" ”

Feng Qingshan thought for a moment, and then said, "The current expedient measure can be taken in two steps!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's eyes lit up: "Which two steps?" Please don't be blunt! ”

Feng Qingshan said slowly: "To open a warehouse for disaster relief, there must be a holy decree from the imperial court, but there is no need to ask for a decree to distribute military rations. Every year, Yingzhou organizes the city army to conduct training, and young people from all over the country, including the Khitan people, must participate in the training. In previous years, the training of the cityside army was mainly in the autumn and winter, if we advance the training time to the present, and let the young and strong Khitan go to the military camp to sign up for training, we can rise up to play the role of training in lieu of relief. ”

"Hmmm! That's a good idea! Lu Xiaoxian clapped his hands and said, "In this way, at least the problem of eating for those young adults can be solved." ”

Feng Qingshan continued: "At the same time, we must try to get the imperial court to issue a holy decree to the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion as soon as possible, agreeing to open a warehouse and release grain for disaster relief, otherwise those women, children and old people will not survive!" ”

"I'm going to write to Elder Di Ge and ask him to ask the Holy Lord for advice!" Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Xie Yunxuan, "Senior Brother Yunxuan, you also write a letter to King Liang, explain the benefits clearly, and let him also report this matter to the Holy Lord." I think with Di Ge Lao and King Liang coming forward together, this matter should not be difficult to solve! After the letter is written, I will send someone to Luoyang quickly, as long as the holy decree can reach the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion soon, the problem will be solved! ”

"Opening a warehouse and releasing grain can only temporarily survive the crisis, and there is a better way to really solve the problem!" Feng Qingshan proposed, "The pastures around Yingzhou have dried up, and the livestock of the Yi tribes, including the Khitan, are dying every day. If we can transport these livestock out for sale, and then transport the surplus grain from other states and counties to Yingzhou, we can completely solve the problem of eating! ”

"That's a good idea!" Lu Xiaoxian said approvingly.

Feng Qingshan reminded: "It's just that a lot of silver is needed to purchase grain, and if you don't have a certain amount of financial resources, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry out this matter!" ”

"I'll do that!" Lu Xiaoxian said to Xie Yunxuan, "That's it, let's go our separate ways." Senior Brother Yunxuan, if you go to Zhao Wenhui, you must persuade him to agree to organize the training of the city army in advance! If it really doesn't work, you can take King Liang out to press him, and there is no room for luck at this time! ”

"Don't worry! I know how serious things are! Xie Yunxuan agreed.

"I will immediately go to Songmo to see Li Qianzhong, explain this matter to him, and let the young people of the Khitan prepare and sign up for training in advance!"

Xie Yunxuan nodded: "Okay!" That's it! ”

Lu Xiaoxian was so anxious that he said goodbye to Xie Yunxuan and was about to turn around and leave, but Xie Yunxuan suddenly stopped him.

"Senior Brother Lu, I patronized the matter of disaster relief, and forgot to tell you, Fan Chong has been released!"

Lu Xiaoxian was overjoyed when he heard this, and arched his hand towards Xie Yunxuan: "Thank you, Senior Brother Yunxuan, Xiaoxian is so polite!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian had never been so respectful to himself, which made Xie Yunxuan a little unaccustomed, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

As soon as he returned to the house, Lu Xiaoxian asked people to call Fan Ziming.

"Ziming, let me tell you good news, Ling Zun has been released, and your Fan Mansion has also been unsealed by the government, you should go back and take a look!"

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Fan Ziming's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Master Lu, is this true?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly: "Do you think I will lie to you?" ”

Fan Ziming knelt down in front of Lu Xiaoxian and cried loudly.

Lu Xiaoxian knew that he was bitter in his heart, and he didn't persuade him, but just let him vent.

I don't know how long it took, Fan Ziming finally stopped.

Lu Xiaoxian helped him up: "Hurry up and go back and take a look!" ”

Fan Ziming got up and wiped a handful of tears, and said loudly: "Master Lu, thank you for your kindness." As I said, whether my father comes back or not, I will follow you from now on! I'll be back soon after I go back to see my father! ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded: "In two days, I will go to the Songmo Governor's Mansion, if you can go away, go with me, I want to go to the Khitan people to find the falconry master!" ”

Fan Ziming promised: "Don't worry, I'll go with you, as long as I can find a falcon master, I will definitely learn hard!" ”

After Fan Ziming left, Lu Xiaoxian called Xing Feng again.

"What? Five hundred stones? So much? Xing Feng was stunned when he heard this.

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at him: "What?" Any questions? ”

Xing Feng snapped his fingers and calculated an account for Lu Xiaoxian: "Master, it stands to reason that five hundred stone grain and one thousand taels of silver will be bought, but now that there is a drought in Yingzhou, the price of grain has risen five or six times, and five hundred stone grain will cost a lot of silver!" ”

"Don't be afraid to spend money, hurry up and do it!" Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand, "The grain has been bought, the hired carriage has been loaded, and I will use it in the next few days!" ”

"Yes! Master! ”

"Plus!" Lu Xiaoxian pondered, "Go buy fifty jars of good wine and load the car together, understand?" ”

Wine is made from grain, and grain is so expensive, how can wine be cheap?

What's more, the host still wants good wine?

However, Xing Feng did not explain further.

has been with Lu Xiaoxian for so long, of course Xing Feng knows his temperament, and in Lu Xiaoxian's eyes, silver is the most worthless thing. In Lu Xiaoxian's words, the problems that can be solved with silver are not problems.

"Okay! I'll do it! Xing Feng promised.

He was about to turn around, but was stopped by Lu Xiaoxian again.

"Master, do you have any other orders?"

Lu Xiaoxian instructed thoughtlessly: "You go to the best rouge shop in the city to buy some good rouge gouache, and then go buy some fine silk." How to do it, you should know, right?

”

Xing Feng nodded: "Master, I know what to do, I want to buy the best, the most expensive!" Don't be afraid to spend money! ”

"That's right!" Lu Xiaoxian was very satisfied, he patted Xing Feng on the shoulder, "After you have done it, you will personally send it out of the city!" ”

"Huh?" Xing Feng's mouth opened wide, "Isn't this for Miss Yinfeng and Miss Langyue?" ”

"When did I say I gave it to them?" Lu Xiaoxian couldn't cry or laugh, "Qin Huo has entertained us for so long, and now that Miss Hunnu is going to celebrate her birthday, can't we back up the gift for Qin Huo?" ”

Xing Feng suddenly realized: "Master, I understand!" ”

"Remember, you have to do this yourself, and no one can find out!" Lu Xiaoxian admonished.

Anyway, Qin Huo is also a bandit, and there are some things that Lu Xiaoxian doesn't want to be too ostentatious, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Xingfeng went fast, and he came quickly. At noon the next day, he hurried back.

"How? It's been a smooth journey, right? Have you seen Leader Qin? Lu Xiaoxian asked.

"It went well! Leader Qin is very happy to see your gift, let me thank you for him! Speaking of this, Xing Feng lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Master, Leader Qin asked me to give you a gift in return, guess what it is?" ”

"How do I know, don't sell me a pass, say it quickly?" Lu Xiaoxian scolded with a smile.

Xing Feng took out something from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but change color, took the object and looked at it for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Is it the jade deer of the Fan family?" ”

Although Lu Xiaoxian had never seen the jade deer, he had heard Fan Chong's description, and it was no different from the jade deer in his hand.

Xing Feng nodded: "That's right, it's the jade deer that the Fan family lost!" ”

"What's going on?" Lu Xiaoxian asked eagerly, "How did Qin Huo find Yulu?" ”

It turned out that Yulu was given to Hun Nu by Li Shihuo as a birthday gift.

Hun Nu didn't plan to ask for it, but Li Yan stuffed the jade deer into Hun Nu's hands and left in a hurry.

In desperation, Hun Nu had no choice but to accept it temporarily, thinking that he would return it to Li if he had a chance.

Yesterday, Qin Huo went to see Hunnu. He heard Hunnu talk about this, so he asked Hunnu for this jade deer. It was useless for the jade deer to be placed in Hunnu, so he generously handed the jade deer to Qin Huo.

Qin Huo got the jade deer and was about to send someone to Yingzhou to send it to Lu Xiaoxian, but it happened that Xing Feng was ordered to go to Longshan to give Qin Huo a gift, and Xing Feng brought the jade deer back.

Lu Xiaoxian listened to it and couldn't help but ponder.

A few days ago, Lu Xiaoxian heard Chen San say that the Turks and the Khitan chieftain Sun Wanrong were in a hot fight.

The jade deer was stolen by the Ashina Jing faction, and since it appeared in Li Shenhuo's hands again, it can be seen that the Turks and the Khitans are already very familiar, maybe Li Quanzhong has reached some agreement with the Turks.

It seems that this trip to the pine desert is urgent, Lu Xiaoxian instructed Xing Feng: "No matter how hard you work, hurry up and prepare food, I plan to set off tomorrow!" ”

"Don't worry! Master! Absolutely nothing can be wrong! ”

After Xing Feng left, Lu Xiaoxian looked at the jade deer in his hand, and muttered to himself in his heart: It seems that it is necessary for him to go to Fan's house, on the one hand, Fan Chonggang should go to condolence when he is released from prison, and on the other hand, he promised Fan Ziming that he would return the jade deer to Zhao and hand it over to the Fan family.
