Below is the auction, it seems to be auctioning a woman from an outland, the appearance is extremely beautiful, the auctioneer explains the various wonders of this woman, triggering an auction**.

It's just that these are not what Lu Fan cares about, the auction has its own participation, this time Chun Yun whispered something to the person on the side, and the person nodded and said that he had retreated.

Just when Lu Fan was waiting to auction Zhu Guo quickly, one person entered the private room, and the guards outside did not stop him, and went straight into the private room.

"Lu Fan, now that the huge territory of the Northeast is managed by you in an orderly manner, it is also a different scene. A mediocre-looking man said.

"The Western Regions are thriving now that you are not governed. Is General Lin okay now?" Lu Fan said with a smile, but Lu Fan's eyes did not leave the auction in the audience.

The man was stunned, and said half-loudly: "It's okay..."

"I haven't had time to congratulate you, congratulations on tying the knot. Lu Fan turned his head and smiled.

"I knew there was something wrong with what he did back then..." The man said.

"There is no right or wrong in those things, and there is no right or wrong in those things. If it were me, I would choose it the same way. Lu Fan said.

That being said, no one knows that it would be impossible if they didn't have the slightest care.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, you must know the purpose of my visit this time. She said as she removed the disguised mask, but still didn't show her true face.

"I know, what do you think?" Lu Fan asked rhetorically.

Now Lu Fan has less respect for her and more calmness.

"Now that the young emperor is weak, Lincang and Gulanna control the government, and many places in the imperial capital have long since disobeyed the emperor's orders, but obeyed the orders of the two auxiliary ministers of Lincang Gulanna. Now a large area of Jiangdong, the most prosperous area in the south of the Yangtze River in the empire, has been controlled by the two of them, and there is no war in my Western Regions now, these two people have already thought about my Western Regions, and I heard that now I am going to transfer a section envoy to assist in managing many large and small affairs in my Western Regions, I think you also know. The woman said.

Unconsciously, between the woman's words, she already regarded the Western Regions as her own bag. It's just that Lu Fan acted as if he didn't notice the meaning between her tones...

"I've also heard of this, not all of my northeastern lands are under my control, but they don't dare to cause trouble, after all, they have also learned the power of the Luoyun Empire. The internal princes of the empire are also annexing each other now, and they just want to do something to us, and it is not the time. And there may be a new move in the near future.,I heard that it intends to 'clear the king's side'.。 Lu Fan said.

"Although King Yu has this idea, but this thing can only be done by him, and the current situation of my Western Regions can't wait for that time, you and I are also cold-tongued, and you don't want my Western Regions to change hands. ”

"The county lord... You've also said it, he's just sent a small envoy, but the military power is still firmly in your hands, and he can still turn the sky upside down. Lu Fan said

It turns out that this woman is Wei Ruozhang, the overlord of the Western Regions, and the relationship with Lu Fan can also be described as an inextricable old friend, both of them are now the overlords of the empire's powerful side, but although the two are extremely strong, they are not royal relatives after all, and their status may be lost at any time.

"Having said that, but who knows if they have a backhand, if you and I don't plan early, we will be passive in the end, after all, it is not only the imperial capital that is staring at you and my current status, but also the forces entrenched in all sides, although it is not as good as us now, but who can tell what will happen in the future. What's more, the border fighting is only a temporary subsidence, and the balance can easily be upset. Wei Ruozhang couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw that Lu Fan didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Then what do you want me to do now?" Lu Fan asked rhetorically.

"You and I have reached an alliance, and if one side is in trouble, the other side will try to get out of it. Wei Ruozhang said.

"It's okay, but in the future, if we don't have to, we'd better not meet, the alliance is just a private matter, you and I can know, the less people know, the safer. Lu Fan said.

"I know that even if I don't form an alliance, if the imperial capital's decree is unfavorable to me, I think you will help me. But if this is the case, I think you will not necessarily do it again! Now if we are selfishly allied, we must each contribute more, and this meeting is so important, I can rest assured that others will come. ”

The two discussed with each other for a long time, until the auction brought out the holy medicine Zhu Guo, and Chun Yun came to Lu Fan's side and asked, "Is this Zhu Guo still auctioned?"

It turned out that he came to the auction house this time to meet Wei Ruozhang on the pretext of winning Zhu Guo, and Zhu Guo was just a pretense for a reason, Lu Fan waved his right hand slightly: "Shoot!"

Wei Ruozhang said: "The silver taels of Zhu Guo in this auction will be sold by me, and this is not a place to stay for a long time, so I will leave first!"

With that, he turned and left, leaving only two attendants with silver taels.

It was getting late, Lu Fan and Chunyun were walking on the way home, and the guards on the side were holding the objects they had photographed today, as well as the beautiful woman who had been photographed, but now they had been placed in the car.

Lu Fan was dressed in a mink coat and walked slowly on the street, people who knew him knew that this was the actual ruler of a territory, and those who didn't know just thought that he was a powerful nobleman.

At this moment, there was a sound of fighting in the alley, and suddenly a black light flashed, and a black shadow attacked Lu Fan.

Lu Fan said: "You don't have to go to this kind of little thief, there are so many people who protect me now, if you can still let such a little thief succeed, then they don't have to protect it, our time is not to deal with this kind of thief every day." ”

Chun Yun stopped, nodded on the side and watched a sword light flash in the dark, seeing that the black shadow was forcing back, at this time, the guards on the side had already put their hands on the hilt of the sword, ready to cut the assassin under the knife at any time. There was calm again in the darkness for a moment, as if nothing had happened just now, only the smell of blood in the air recorded what had happened in this moment.

"Master, this is the third assassination recently, what kind of person dares to be so bold?" Chun Yun followed Lu Fan's steps and asked, although Lu Fan has said it many times over the years, Chun Yun has always called Lu Fan master.

"In the past year or so, I have sprung up, there is an originally unknown general, who has become a prince who dominates one side, and those officials who have already dominated one side are unwilling and full of evil thoughts, although there are inevitably some dissidents in this huge territory in the northwest. Lu Fan said to Chunyun on the road without any scruples.

"Then why can't it be done by the surrounding forces, or sent by the imperial capital?" asked Chun Yun again.

"People in other places may have some ideas, but now there are only one or two who can extend their tentacles to the territory of the northeast, and the others can't take care of themselves in this troubled world, so can they be like this?" Lu Fan seemed to be answering Chunyun, but he seemed to be asking himself.

Then he said: "And the news from those places is not trying to disadvantage me. But there's probably still too little guilt. ”

"Master, there is such a frequent flow of traders in this territory that those with ill intentions want to get in, and our soldiers have no way to find out all of them. Chunyun said worriedly.

"The economy here still needs to be revitalized so that the people can live a good life. Since you can't put an end to other people's eyeliner, you have to install more eyeliner in others. Lu Fan said.

"I recently read a story about a monk who was originally just practicing the path to attain his own transcendent qualities, but then he took refuge in Buddhism. Follow the Bodhisattva path and save sentient beings. It's just that every time there is a price, or exchanging one's own eyes for someone else's resight, or exchanging one's own illness for someone else's recovery. Isn't this the way of the master?"

"I don't have that kind of mind, Chunyun, most of the books you have been reading lately are biased towards Buddhism. However, the way of the world is as good as this, there is yin and yang, there is a give-and-take, if there is a lack of great success, if there is a big profit, if there is a rush, if there is a straight bend, if there is a big clumsiness. There is nothing the same in the world, but there is no difference, it's just under the way..."

"Master, I don't understand, if that's the case, then what I did with my master, and what others did, wouldn't it be the same?" Chunyun followed Lu Fan closely and walked side by side with him.

"I'm just saying it casually, but I'm actually incomprehensible myself. The Tao is the same Tao, but the word Tao encompasses all living beings, who can say clearly, maybe Buddha is the Tao, Zen is the Tao, evil is the Tao, and the Tao is also the Tao. Who can tell..." Lu Fan said.

"There is no color painting in the heart, and there is no center in the color painting..." Suddenly, the voice came from behind him.
