"Open all their anklets, the warriors of the crusaders should not receive such an insult."

Baron Moore said: "Thank God, I met a person here who can speak our Roman imperial Chinese language, I will pray to God and bless you with a long life, I am right!" Orientals seem to say so. ”

Lu Zifei said: "Did God teach you to lie, you deceived me and were not afraid that God would blame you?" ”

The soldiers who opened the anklets, who had been suppressed for a long time, shouted to vent their grievances in the past few months, and the guards looked at them nervously, and Baron Moore said: "They are not hurting you, you are our benefactors, we are all faithful believers in the Lord, we can't do that kind of thing, Gongzi asks your people not to be nervous." ”

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "I have admired His Majesty Augustus-Octavian for a long time, he is an eloquent British lord, I wonder if your Roman Empire is now unified by him?" ”

Moore's eyes glanced at Anthony not far away, although it was vague, but it still made Lu Zifei notice, under Lu Zifei's smiling eyes, Anthony stood up and said: "Childe is powerful, I am their leader Antony, the deputy commander of the guards beside His Majesty Octavian, I don't know what Childe is called." ”

Lu Zifei said: "I am a man from Huairen County of the Great Song Empire, you can call me Lu Gongzi, Commander Antony and His Majesty Octavian used to be on opposite sides!" I still remember that there was a man named Archduke Lepida. ”

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that there would be people in the far east who knew so much about the affairs of the Roman Empire, Childe said yes, I and Lepida were both defeated by Augustus, I surrendered, Lepida is better than me, he chose to serve the Lord's side, I was reduced to a marquis by His Majesty after the defeat, and I am no longer the Grand Duke."

Lu Zifei nodded and said: "I can only say sorry for what happened to you, I welcome your arrival on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, all the pirates were killed by me, your materials should still be in the warehouse, I will ask someone to help you find out." ”

Antony said: "Legend has it that the humility, kindness, and hospitality of the Orientals have all been seen in you, and you were born in our Roman Empire to be the next most formidable contender for Augustus, and thank you for your help." ”

Lu Zifei said: "The prince is polite, let me introduce you to the one next to me, our Zhongshu of the Great Song Dynasty, who is equivalent to the personal secretary of His Majesty Octavian in your Roman Empire, don't underestimate him, the prince should understand." ”

Anthony walked up to Song Qi and took his right hand and kissed it, Song Qi was petrified on the spot, the two big men were in broad daylight, how can I go out to meet people in the future, Han Jiang and Cao Feng They were also dumbfounded, and this kind of operation, what do you think about the two old men to go to the room at night! Insulting Svenna.

Lu Zifei knew that it would be like this, he explained with a smile: "This is a kind of etiquette of gratitude, don't think too much, this is the first time you meet, and the next time we meet, he will kiss your cheeks, don't look like a little strange and strange." ”

Anthony saw the strange eyes around him and asked, "Master Lu, what's wrong with them, why are they looking at me like this." ”

"They are a little surprised that they have not seen the etiquette of the West, the prince doesn't have to care, you take the soldiers to rest first, okay, we will leave here and take you to see the magical Eastern country in your eyes."

Anthony and Moore went to find a place to take a bath in gratitude, Song Qi gritted his teeth and said, "I ask you, if a woman is here today, will he also kiss the woman's hand." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Yes! I've told you that it's etiquette, what's so strange, it's a very rude thing that you didn't give someone a gift just now, do you know, don't think about it, go and see how our harvest is, don't let the patrol army kill people, they all have opinions about me, and reward them a little bit if they have a good harvest. ”

Song Qi said: "You stand first, according to your statement, their country is farther away than the Sinhala country you went to, how do you know how to speak their language, you give me an explanation." ”

Lu Zifei said: "I've told you once, why don't you believe it?" Guiguzi knows astronomy and geography, 5,000 years, 5,000 years, what is a small Roman Empire, there is nothing in this world that we Guiguzi don't know, or you consider joining us, I can also give you a petty official. ”

"Bah, you can prevaricate me with this! One day I will find out your details, and then it will be up to you to justify it, Wang Xu's own existence is a mystery, maybe there is no existence of him in this world, and you have no reason if you can't justify yourself! ”

Lu Zifei said: "The Mo family can survive under the suppression of Confucianism, and the Guigu lineage is indisputable, so it is not so difficult to pass it on!" Look at my former brothers, that is not a talent who has experienced the heavens and latitudes, survival in troubled times is what we are good at, Lord Song has to work hard to investigate, maybe he will find my heel that day. ”

Song Qi snorted coldly and left, what this kid said was seamless, how to check it himself, it's really not easy to cheat him, it's a fox You will eventually leak out of the fox's tail, and the best thing to be old is patience.

Lu Zifei looked at Song Qi's back and spit on the ground, thinking in his heart that you still want to trick me, in the next life!

At this time, a father and son in Zhengzhou City were having a conversation, and the son asked his father, "Dad, where is the genius boy you mentioned, I want to meet him and compete with him, I am the genius of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

The young man who was cleaning up the salute on the side smiled and said, "Second brother, you will be disappointed when you see him, he will hit your self-confidence." ”

"I don't believe it, I'm now familiar with the four books and the five classics, and I've done a lot of strategies and poems, and he can't do it like this at his age! Big brother, do you look down on your brother and me? ”

These three people are Fan Zhongyan's father and son who were ordered to return to Beijing, the eldest Fan Chunyou, the second Fan Chunren, the interesting thing is that Fan Zhongyan is an unswerving reformer in history, and Fan Chunren did not continue his father's legacy after becoming prime minister, and went to the opposite side of Wang Anshi, and is the biggest obstructor of the "Xining Reform" and the backbone of the conservatives.

Fan Zhongyan looked at his second son, heard his bold words and said, "When he was your age, he was fighting the enemy on the northwest battlefield, can you?" Don't read for two days and feel that you are the most powerful person in this world, your eldest brother is right, it is your greatest sorrow to be born in the same era as him, under his light, you will not shine any light. ”

Fan Chunren said: "I don't want to be a martial artist, it's useless, you look down on me, I will definitely be better than him, I will also be the prime minister, and you will know who is excellent when the time comes." ”

Fan Chunyou ignored his younger brother's children's words, and said to Fan Zhongyan teasingly: "Father, your friends are waiting to see how you and him will be doing the next time?" Tell me what it would be like for you to meet again. ”

"The biggest thing is to let him laugh at what else can be, it's normal for them to wait to see my jokes, wrong is wrong, right is right, my father is really blind in this matter, and he won't do that kind of thing to mock me, otherwise he won't support me 100% in Shaanxi, I think it will take two years to return to Beijing, and it's his reason that I got ahead of schedule."

Fan Chunyou said: "Last time Uncle Ouyang's letter said that he organized people to go to sea, and the effect was not bad, it seems that he wanted to instigate the emperor to open the sea ban, what does my father think of this, he always does things with ingenuity." ”

Fan Zhongyan took a sip of tea and said: "Just this simple tea, we follow the drinking method of our predecessors to add salt, green onion and ginger, and various condiments. ”

"I don't think it's so simple for him to open up the sea route."

Fan Zhongyan said schemingly: "It's a good thing for my father, the huge wealth of the sea ban for many years overseas will attract the attention of scholars, I am ordered to return to Beijing this time only for one thing, that is, reform, get rid of the great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, otherwise the emperor will not transfer me to Beijing, in the matter of the sea ban, I will also repay the peach and support him in the court." ”

Fan Chunyou looked at the bustling crowd on the street and said: "My father has been by my side and has never left my father's position in the northwest, I am really worried about you when I see the desolate scene, I was ready to accompany you to work hard in the northwest for ten years, but the next dazzling changes are what I never expected, Shaanxi has achieved self-sufficiency in three years, like a dream." ”

"Shaanxi has experienced wars, people's hearts are scattered, there is a strong army stationed there can stabilize the people's hearts, the imperial court has not levied Shaanxi's taxes over the years, and the money saved has been put into production, this year into Shaanxi more than 100,000 head of cattle, to return to Shaanxi, for the father there is only one way to cut himself."

Fan Chunyou said with emotion: "In terms of courage, it is difficult for our peers to look at it! Hundreds of thousands of cattle, millions of sheep, Shaanxi Road Transshipment Division owes a huge amount of arrears, they are all big-hearted people, and Uncle Pang also dares to do it. ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "What don't you dare, a deal that is sure to make money and not lose money, it is beneficial to both parties, why not do it, you are still young, you will know the meaning of them doing this in the future." ”

On the outskirts of Kaifeng City, Ouyang Xiu and others are looking forward to it, these representatives of the whole body reform faction, Du Yan, Zhang Fangping, Cai Xiang, Yu Jing, Fu Bi, they are waiting for the most suitable leader in their hearts, Fan Zhongyan, to return to Beijing on this cold day today.

As a carriage appeared in their field of vision, Ouyang Xiu happily waved his fist like a child.

"Uncle Yong, I haven't seen you for a year, you're so young again."

"Xiwen, everyone is waiting for you, waiting for you to come back and lead us to do a great business."
