Chapter 129: Goodbye Lu Wende

Everyone in the world knows that Lu Wende is Jia Rudao's sworn friend, and he is a raccoon dog, so his official reputation is also poor, and his brothers have persuaded him to cut off contact with Lu Wende.

No one is perfect, and Shi Bin thinks that he is a useful person who can kill Yuan people now, so he has been in contact with him.

Now Shi Bin is very happy that he has kept in touch with Lu Wende, and when he comes to the door for something, he will not be abrupt and will not make people feel like a philistine.

Lu Wende should now be in the city of Haozhou, and control the armies of Hao, Anfeng, Shou, and Bozhou, with a total strength of no more than 10,000 people. Extrapolating from the arms business he did with Shi Bin last time, he may have relied on those firearms for his achievements in the past two years, but the service life of today's firearms is not long, and it is estimated that some of them have recently begun to fail.

What Lu Wende wants to see most at this time is that Shi Bin appeared in front of him with a firearm, if he is not only willing to sell him firearms but also send another batch of high-quality firearms, it is estimated that Lu Wende will definitely guarantee himself in front of Jia Yidao.

He planned to finish the fifteen-day road in twelve days, so not only did he take away half of the fat and strong horses in his own horse farm, but he also let people get nearly forty good horses from other sources overnight, reaching the standard of one person and two horses, which meant that the dead horses could not be stopped. Shi Bin also plans to taste what the six-hundred-mile rush tastes like this time, and see if he will fall apart when he arrives in Haozhou.

Now every second counts, early in the morning, Shi Bin, Jia Ling, and Wang San took twenty personal guards, and each carried two new-style Shi Bin guns to Haozhou.

It was also Shi Bin's good luck that he bumped into Lu Wende at a post station on the official road to Jiujiang. The two were very happy to see each other, Shi Bin knew that his matter could be solved quickly, and Lu Wende knew that the arms dealer in front of him would definitely sell him a good firearm at a good price.

Happy is happy, but this is a brother who asks for help, no matter how iron he is, he will not be so easy to speak. So both of them used the unspoken rule - drinking.

"Brother Lu, we haven't seen each other for a year, the younger brother and children are half a year old, I'm really embarrassed not to invite the eldest brother to come to drink, how about asking the eldest brother to appreciate his face and let the younger brother make up for this meal?" Shi Bin said with a smile.

Of course, this is a bit false and not so sincere, but Lu Wende, who has been in the officialdom for many years, knows how to look at people, and understands that Shi Bin has no bad intentions, and he wants to buy more high-quality firearms from Shi Bin, so he can't wait to drink it. After listening, he immediately took Shi Bin's hand, and the two entered the post station.

"Brother Shi Xian is going to Jiangnan? Seeing that the virtuous brother seems to have not rested much, could it be that your father-in-law ordered something important? Lu Wende asked.

When Lu Wende asked Shi Bin like this, he was a little embarrassed to speak, but he just persuaded Lu Wende to drink first and then talk about other things, so as to save the loss of wine. Indeed, he himself is also under a lot of pressure, and it is rare to meet a brother who can still talk in this mountain forest, so he naturally doesn't bother to care about anything else, thinking that Shi Bin is right, and he will talk about it after a drink.

A typical military man drinks wine, not with a cup but with a big bowl, and after saying a total of only ten sentences, Lu Wende has already drunk two bowls of wine, no less than two catties. This reminded Shi Bin of a word: a warrior of the test of alcohol.

At such a level, Shi Bin was a little scared when he looked at it, it turned out that he was politely drinking in Jia's Mansion just to show respect for Jia Yidao, and he really drank so much.

Knowing that Shi Bin, a Confucian general, must be a little afraid of his drinking method, it is estimated that he is even more afraid that he will persuade him to drink and go crazy with alcohol. Fortunately, Lu Wende has good drinking virtues, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, the eldest brother knows that you drink an average amount of alcohol. So, how about I have a big bowl and you have a cup? If you can't drink it, you won't drink it, and you will never drink for your brother. ”

This is already Lu Wende's very generous, if he is a stingy person, he will definitely not like to drink alone, but a person next to him only sits there and drinks two sips casually.

Of course, Shi Bin would not be so ignorant, and he would not even refuse this way of drinking, and immediately said that if Lu Wende drank one bowl, he would drink two cups, and he would not finish until he was too drunk.

Both of them are positive and cheerful people, so they have a common language. Shi Bin is also Lu Wende's arms supplier, and the two have almost nothing to talk about.

After three rounds of drinking, they chatted about their interest, and through this wine, they told their purpose.

Lu Wende was also constrained by Zheng Qingzhi in Haozhou, and many things were inconvenient. The Southern Song Dynasty was almost unofficial and not greedy, and if he was not greedy, he couldn't get along, and Zheng Qingzhi himself was greedy, but he used this reason to wear small shoes for him. It's just that although Lu Wende is angry, he wants to persuade Jia Nidao and Zheng Qingzhi to reconcile temporarily, focusing on the overall situation of the country. Let the factional struggle calm down, the situation is no longer tense, and it will be beneficial to fight against Yuan.

Shi Bin was in order to get the position of Tanzhou general judge from Zheng Qingzhi, so as not to let Jia Yidao have a suspicion of him.

After knowing this, Shi Bin thought to himself: Since Lu Wende wants to quell the infighting, then he should support him to go to Zheng Qingzhi to seek the position of general judge in Tanzhou. So he spoke his mind.

Both of them are from the Jia Nidao faction, and they are both core members, so they can naturally consider each other. Although some of the wine was on the top, they all understood seven or eight points and expressed their support for the other party's approach. However, I was already drunk, and it was not good to discuss it immediately, so I said that the details would be discussed the next day.

The two of them drank happily this night, and they also talked about it, and they were very comfortable.

Everyone in the world knows that you can only believe half of what you say at the wine table, especially when you are drunk and have no way to speak, you can't count it, and you can't take it seriously.

But it's also a good thing to make a start with this wine, the two just don't want to talk about it anymore, and they won't be embarrassed.

When he got up the next morning, Shi Bin vaguely remembered what he had said to Lu Wende the night before. Although some wanted to verify Lu Wende's attitude immediately, after the contest with Liu Ding, he understood the importance of concentration.

So I calmed down and lay down on the bed to rest, anyway, I drank too much wine and was dizzy, just right.

In fact, Shi Bin is not in a hurry, the two of them are now half a catty and eight taels, he wants to ask Lu Wende to help him be a guarantee in front of Jia Yidao, and Lu Wende must also want to buy some powerful and high-quality firearms from Shi Bin.

It's just that the two of them don't have a lot of time, and they can't delay for more than three days, after all, no one likes to do things in a hurry and have no room for maneuver.

Therefore, Shi Bin thinks that he must negotiate the conditions with Lu Wende today, and it is only such a big deal to give dozens of Shi Bin guns for the position of Tanzhou General Judge, anyway, he is also a staunch anti-Yuan general.

The green shade outside the window is very pleasant, although he also wants to play in the mountains and forests and ignore the world, but this is impossible, under the nest, how can there be eggs? If he wants to survive, he can only submit to the Yuan people and let them slaughter, which is the last thing he can bear.

He can be in cahoots with traitors and ministers, but he will never be subservient to the Yuan people. This made Shi Bin even more determined that he must win the Tanzhou General Judgment, and he did not have to win everything at any time.

Thinking can make time pass like water, and in a blink of an eye, it's time for lunch.

Shi Bin didn't bother to practice any more concentration, so he had a meal with his guards when he arrived in the hall. casually glanced at the group of people next to him, but saw Lu Wende's guards but not Lu Wende.

Of course, this situation made Shi Bin a little disappointed, whether Lu Wende was intentional or unintentional, it showed that he did not treat himself as a real brother.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and I almost said to Jia Ling in this hall, 'I treat Mingyue with sincerity, but Mingyue shines in the ditch'.

Knowing that her husband is too easy to move the truth, Jia Ling didn't pinch him, but just said quietly: "The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article." ”

That's really the case, so Shi Bin cast a "what should I do" look.

"It's simple, since Lord Lu avoids it, you can send lunch in, if he pretends to sleep, you don't have to talk, just sit there and rest. The slave family believes that Master Lu is just afraid of causing trouble, not that he doesn't want to help. Jia Ling said carefully.

According to Jia Ling's words, he really entered Lu Wende's room, and Lu Wende was really "sleeping".

I didn't want to be too impatient, so I sat down and rested leisurely, and Shi Bin was going to get "dizzy" after lunch. Since Lu Wende is sleeping, he simply faints, and when he Lu Wende can't pretend to be able to go on, he will talk again.

It is really intentional to plant flowers that do not bloom, and unintentionally plant willows and willows into shade. Shi Bin didn't get dizzy this meal, his hands were empty, his chin slammed on the table, and a table of dishes was overturned, and the food was scattered all over the ground, which made Lu Wende unable to pretend if he wanted to, so he had to get up.

asked the shopkeeper and his subordinates to tidy up the room, and Shi Bin went to change his clothes and returned to Lu Wende's room to chat with him.

"Brother, big brother, I'm really a little sorry, it's rude to let you come in with food and wait so long..." Lu Wende smiled awkwardly.

Although the words were definitely false, Shi Bin didn't care about these details, but just said when he felt a little apologetic: "It's okay, it's okay, big brother doesn't have to worry about it." It's just that I don't know what I asked for yesterday, how did my eldest brother think about it? ”

Guaranteeing is the most dangerous, and even hardcore buddies won't take it lightly. In this officialdom, there is no need to deceive me, let alone act as a guarantee.

Therefore, even if Lu Wende couldn't pretend to be drunk anymore, he didn't answer directly, just lowered his head and thought, and didn't say anything for a while.

"Brother Lu, if you are worried about my treachery, you can say it directly, I will never blame you, but please don't hesitate so much. I must get the position of Tanzhou General Judge, I am the son-in-law of Lord Jia, do you think I will still vote for Zheng Qingzhi? Shi Bin asked with a little anger.

This has been said very bluntly, and it has already offended people a little, but Shi Bin is too lazy to pretend anymore, and it is not a big deal to be a little estranged from Jia Yidao, at most, when the time comes, go back with Jia Ling to see Jia Yidao and send more benefits should be able to make up for it.

I thought that Shi Bin was just going to try, after all, it was Zheng Qingzhi's sphere of influence, and it was difficult for him to succeed. Therefore, Lu Wende wanted to pretend to be confused and go over, it was a big deal not to buy those high-quality firearms, but it was best not to mix this kind of thing, but he didn't expect Shi Bin to be so obsessed with the position of the general judge of Tanzhou.

In this case, if he is too unkind, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to buy firearms in the future, but the two will also have a bad relationship, and what I hate even more is that I am afraid that he will be bad in front of Jia Nidao and say bad things about him Lu Wende.

Forced to be helpless, Lu Wende had no choice but to compromise: "Brother Shi, my brother is a little confused because he is worried in his heart. But I really didn't expect you to be so obsessed with this general judgment, and the eldest brother wants to know why you are so persistent, after all, this guarantee is not so simple. ”

Shi Bin knew that Lu Wende was relieved, and if it made sense, he would help him, so he immediately explained: "Brother Lu, it's not that I covet power, but that the situation is tense now, the Yuan people are powerful, the court is weak, and the younger brother is what kind of person the eldest brother also knows that I have nothing to say about fighting against the Yuan people, but I don't want to be burned." ”

Completely understanding Shi Bin's thoughts, Lu Wende looked at Shi Bin with a little appreciation.

In this case, even if Shi Bin said that he would never betray Jia Rudao was a lie, but this anti-yuan should be the truth, Lu Wende made a difficult choice, and finally expressed his guarantee for Shi Bin.

Knowing that Lu Wende was a husband who made his word, Shi Bin immediately said that he would give 50 Shi Bin guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition as a reward.

This is what Lu Wende didn't expect, he thought that Shi Bin would also bring the fifty guns with him, but he didn't expect to send 50,000 rounds of ammunition, and hurriedly said that he would accept a maximum of thirty guns, and it was better to buy the bullets. He even refused to accept his gift on the grounds that Shi Bin didn't bring many bullets.

"Big brother, I am very grateful for your willingness to help, this is a guarantee and a big risk. It's a big deal to go to Ezhou to see my father-in-law, and then turn around to my Xiangtan, and pull the bullet back to Haozhou, won't you get it? You and my brother don't have to be like this, I'm an arms dealer, do I still need these guns? Besides, there won't be some people who believe that you will destroy your reputation for some firearms, right? Just take you and your own soldiers, and you don't even have to take my letters. Shi Bin smiled heartily.

With these words, Lu Wende is not good to shirk again, and it will be hypocritical to shirk again. So he accepted all the gifts from Shi Bin, and also said that he would definitely do Shi Bin's entrustment well.

With such a good result, Shi Bin continued to travel east and headed for Lin'an.
