With his eyes slightly closed, he half-lay on the bamboo couch and lazily looked at the hall where Lu Jiu was taking refuge in the summer. On both sides of the hall, the long pine and bamboo are thick and green, and in the turquoise pool in front of them, countless red and white hibiscus are in full bloom. When the breeze blows, the fragrance fills the room. The scorching heat seems to have forgotten this place.

Qing'er held a fan and slowly fanned it against the large ice bricks on the table in the hall. The resentful gaze glared at the smoky road on the bamboo couch from time to time.

The young lady called him to come to discuss the matter, and the young lady was busy sweating profusely in front of the bookcase, but he was fine, and he was half lying on the bamboo couch with a big smile, and he was about to fall asleep lazily.

"Damn Zhang Qiantuo!" Lu Jiu was furious and threw a dossier to the ground.

"He's dead." After passing by, he still closed his eyes slightly, and said faintly.

Lu Jiu looked at the road very irritably: "Nanzhao rebelled, the southwest trade route was cut off, and there were still a few caravans in the Chamber of Commerce that fell into Nanzhao and could not return, so that the Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses, how can it be good now." ”

"The dignified King of Nanzhao was occupied by a small Yunnan Taishou and his wife and daughter, asking for bribes and false accusations of rebellion, and if he didn't rebel, he had to rebel." A mocking smile appeared on his face.

"I'm asking you what I should do now!" Lu Jiu glared at Lu Lu angrily.

"If you don't figure out the ins and outs of this, don't act blindly." Said lazily as he passed.

Lu Jiu's eyebrows were upside down, and he stared straight at the road.

After passing by, he hurriedly got up and sat upright, took out a folding fan, and shook it gently.

"Do you think Zhang Qiantuo, a small Yunnan Taishou, where did he come from to be so bold to do such evil deeds to force the Tang Dynasty to oppose the Southern Zhao of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Jiannan Jiedu envoy Xian Yu Zhongtong, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to act so recklessly. ”；

Lu Jiu clasped his hands on his shoulders, frowned, and looked at the road with an uncertain expression: "You mean that behind that Zhang Qiantuo is Yang Zhao, the squire of the military department?" ”

"The concubine's new grace is boundless, and Yang Zhao's power is monstrous, but there is always a big mountain on his head, that is, Li Linfu, the prime minister who firmly controls the government. Yu Shi Jiwen rebelled against Li Tou Yang, moved to Song Hun Xiao Jiong, and cut off some of Li Xiangchao's henchmen. But that Yang Zhao's power. It still can't be compared with Li Linfu, because he has no military support at all. ”

Passing by, he picked up a glass of blood-colored grape wine on the table, shook it gently, and sighed slightly.

"You mean, do you mean that Yang Zhao deliberately forced Luo Feng, the king of Nanzhao, to make military merits in order to make military merits for Xian Yu Zhongtong, who he supported?" Lu Jiu looked at the road in disbelief.

"Most of these border towns in the Northern and Western Regions are Hu generals supported by Li Linfu. The place where Yang Zhao can stretch out his hand is only Nanzhao, a small country in the southwest. But this is all speculation on my part, and it should not be true. He shook his head slightly.

"What if it's true?" Lu Jiumei looked at the road without blinking.

"If it's true, then the Jiannan Jiedu envoy will definitely prepare the army and horses, and attack Nanzhao in the spring of next year at the latest." He held his head in his hands and leaned lazily on the bamboo couch.

Lu Jiu's white and transparent fingers began to tap quickly on his arm again: "It seems that we now not only have to consider what kind of opportunities and benefits the Chamber of Commerce can win in this war, but also how to rebuild the trade route after the war." ”

"Don't you want to think about how many soldiers and civilians have died innocently just for the sake of power and profit?" I said with some anger in my heart.

"It's not something you and I can control, and we shouldn't think about it. You've read so many history books, have you seen and heard less about these things? Lu Jiu waved his hand a little impatiently.

The road was blocked by a sentence and was a little angry, but it was difficult to refute, and he was silent for a while.

Seeing Lu Jiu, who was still thinking there, he couldn't help but say again: "Have you ever thought about it, what if Xian Yu Zhongtong fails." ”

"My elite army of the Tang Dynasty is invincible in the world, how can it fail against the little Nanzhao." Lu Jiu said very unscrupulously.

"There is a cloud in the art of war, and the mourning soldiers will win, and the proud soldiers will be defeated. Of course, I'm just talking. Lu shook his head, knowing in his heart that the failure of the Tang army's attack on Nanzhao was really impossible.

"It's been the way, I found that you returned to Chang'an this time, and your will was depressed, as if you had changed a person." Lu Jiu looked at the road with some dissatisfaction.

"Is there one?" He spread his hands and said with an exaggerated expression.

Lu Jiu smiled coldly: "Did you miss this Spring Festival Competition, delaying your way to enter the office, and I am resentful of me in my heart." Do you think that my Lu Jiu is full of copper smell, so you are very high, and you have Li Min in your heart. ”

"Nonsense!" He waved his sleeves and said contemptuously.

"Yes! My little merchant's daughter, how can I put it in your eyes? It's way, you're so proud! I thought that you were the only one who worried about the country and the people, and ruled the country and the world. The officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all corpses and vegetarians, and they will only fight for power and profit. You have the ability, you are like the minister Li Linfu, who has ruled the world for 16 years. Lu Jiu said unceremoniously.

"Do you think I can't go on my way?" The road was annoyed and angry, and said dryly.

"Discouraged and complaining at the slightest setback, do you think you can?" Lu Jiu replied with a sneer.

After a while, he jumped up, and looked at Lu Jiu stupidly: "I have passed the road and have a ghost valley mastery, and I am just suffering from a young age at present." Being young is my biggest disadvantage at the moment, but it's also my biggest strength. One day, I will climb to a high position when I pass by, so that you Wang Liuli can take a good look. ”

"I don't know how to be down-to-earth, so ambitious. What kind of mastery is beared, it is just Zhao Kuo who talks on paper. Lu Jiu pursed his mouth contemptuously, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

Lu Lu was trembling with anger, but he was powerless to refute. Flicked his sleeves fiercely, turned around and left angrily.

rushed into the Tensen Tower, and walked straight to the attic where the Oiran came at night.

"This son, the girl who came at night suffered from the heat and has not seen a guest for more than ten days." A little maid looked at the road with contempt, and stopped him with a haughty expression.

The night of cherishing the incarnation of flowers, the fame resounded throughout the capital, and it was no longer something that you could see if you wanted to see it. What the is this, I breathed back my anger when I passed, turned around and left.

"Stop, you stop!" A young girl rushed out of the attic and waved her handkerchief to the road.

When I walked by, I saw that this girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old was Miss Lan'er, the wife of Xiao Ningjiao.

"This is Lang Zhong who was invited by the young lady to treat the disease, and you will drive people away without asking." Lan'er reprimanded the little maid and welcomed her in.

Just walked into the boudoir of the night, his eyes were flowering, and the flowers were like milk swallows throwing into the forest, and he flew into the arms of the road, and he was wrapped tightly like an octopus.

Feeling the tender skin under the thin silk, smelling the fragrant body odor, passing by and breathing became heavy, holding the beauty in his arms, and rushing directly to the incense couch.

Lan'er smiled and gently closed the door.

The two who were sweating profusely, as if they had been soaked in sleep, were still entangled and unwilling to separate.

"You conscienceless guy, it's been more than ten days since you went back to Chang'an, and now you know to come to see me." Xihua Jiao sneered at the forehead that had gone a little way.

"So you've been sick with a summer fever for more than ten days, just to wait for me?" I asked with great emotion when I passed.

"People are really suffering from heat stroke, so they are not waiting for you, a guy with no conscience." Xihua took out a silk scarf and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead.

"And how well is your summer heat?" Passing by, he looked worriedly at the face of the red flower.

"After sweating so much, it's naturally fine." Cherish the flowers with charming eyes like silk, and smile slyly.

Holding the face of cherishing flowers, he kissed it gently, and said with a wicked smile: "Then sweat more, and it's better faster." ”

Xihua pushed away the dishonest hand, tilted her head and asked, "Who offended you, came to the door of my attic, and his face was still so ugly." ”

"It's not Wang Liuli's woman, who looks down on me!" Said angrily.

Xihua supported her cheek with one hand and asked with a smile, "Why does she look down on you?" ”

After passing the road, he was a little embarrassed to tell the story, and pointed to his nose very unconvinced and said: "Tell me, why am I so ambitious when I am on the road, how can I become the Zhao Kuo who talks on paper." ”

Xihua stretched out her jade hand, pinched it playfully on her nose, and smiled strangely: "I was angry with Wang Liuli, so I came to me to find comfort." But ah, I think that powerful girl Wang is not looking down on you, but inspiring you. ”

"Shhhh I need someone to motivate me, do I need it? Lu Lu said with a disdainful face.

"I see, this girl of Wang Liuli is very special to you. Or you can find a way to marry her, so that we can not pay the debt we owe her. Xihua's eyes widened, and she bewitched the way.

"What! For the sake of those debts, you are willing to sell even your own man. "The road screamed, looking at the flowers in disbelief.

Xihua held her mouth contemptuously: "I clearly remember that the maid Qing'er said that the name Wang Liuli can only be called by her husband." But how many times have you shouted and screamed, and Lu Jiu didn't refute it once. What else are you pretending? ”

"I did it on purpose, did I do it on purpose?" After the road, he said very aggrievedly.

"Who knows?" Xihua grinned.
