"The envoy came to ask for white jade tribute rice?" At the moment when he heard that Liu Lan was here to ask for Baiyu tribute rice, Lu Su's brows furrowed slightly: "But I don't know how much the envoy needs?" ”

"Three or five thousand is enough."

"What, three or five thousand hundreds?"

White jade tribute rice is produced in the area of Huangdun Temple in the south of Wuhe, it is rumored that Gaozu Liu Bang was stationed in Huangdun Temple, the local people offered rice to Liu Bang, Liu Bang was full of praise after eating, praised as "white jade", after Liu Bang made the emperor after the special local officials paid tribute at the age of the year, "white jade tribute rice" was named after this.

Baiyu tribute rice is scarce as a tribute, although his Lu family is also a big family second to none, to prepare three or five thousand Hu japonica rice for Liu Lan, but three or five thousand Hu tribute rice he can't do even if he goes bankrupt, plus he has a ghost in his heart, so naturally he thinks that Liu Lan knows everything, and now he is making excuses to be difficult for himself, as long as there is a word, then Liu Lan will definitely not hesitate to wave the butcher knife.

Just when Lu Su was worried, Liu Lan smiled and said, "Zijing, what is going on?" ”

"Three thousand white jade tribute rice, give it all." Lu Su gritted the silver tooth and said.

"Zijing is so reluctant? Haha, I, Liu Lan, am not a robber, and I am not diverse, it would be nice to have three or five white jade tribute rice for those meritorious soldiers to try. ”

Lu Su couldn't keep up with Liu Lan's rhythm at all, and his eyes widened as he looked at him, completely unaware of what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Liu Lan rolled his eyes and said: "Zijing, don't be cheap and sell well, I know your family background, don't talk about three or five white jade tribute rice, even if it is three thousand white jade tribute rice, you can also get it." If I really ask you for 3,000 white jade tribute rice today, I'm afraid you will also offer it with both hands. That's right and that's not right! ”

"Yes, yes!" Lu Su's lips were blue with anger. How could he have been threatened like this, if it weren't for the swords and I would be the fish today, don't say three thousand white jade tribute rice, even three buckets would not be able to get it.

"Haha, Zijing, I just said that those are all fake, the real purpose of my trip is to admire your name for a long time, and I am here to invite you out of the mountain, how about it. Would you like to be in Xuzhou? Liu Lan told Lu Su, who had a gloomy face, and couldn't take his eyes off it. I said in my heart that I didn't expect it to be fake, after all, Lu Su's reputation is so big.

And as Liu Lan's power grows bigger and bigger, he has always had a dream in his heart, that is, to let the heroes of the Three Kingdoms enter the urn, to put it bluntly, he has a small hobby of collecting celebrities of the Three Kingdoms, of course, he also knows that it is not necessarily great to leave a name in history, and there are also many pearls that are impressive, such as the Zhang Bei who only learned about it after a battle not long ago. In terms of military command ability, he is no worse than Guan Yu at all, but such a person is omitted, and it is indeed more regrettable than those scum who appear in history, but compared to Lu Su, it is different. This is a mess that is described in the romance, but the real talent is much more powerful than in the romance.

If such a person can be collected, then there are two military talents by his side. I don't know how many others will be envious at that time.

"Be careful." Just as Liu Lan was looking forward to Lu Su's answer, Xu Chu on one side suddenly spoke. The hand knife in his hand was unsheathed in an instant.

Liu Lan's nerves also tensed up for a moment, and when he withdrew his hand to touch the ring knife, he raised his head to look in the direction of Xu Chu's vigilance. Just this glance, Liu Lan was stupid.

"Little Joe?"

Xiao Qiao Wan Tingting appeared in front of Liu Lan, and behind her were many maids and servants, looking anxious, but the moment they saw Liu Lan and Lu Su, they all stopped, as if they were afraid of something, and their footsteps secretly moved back, and disappeared in the courtyard in an instant.

Everything in front of him instantly made Liu Lan have a thought in his heart, could it be that Zhou Yu did not go to Jiangdu after escaping from Guangling, but came to Xiapi in the west?

"Liu Yuanjun, I didn't expect us to meet here again." Xiao Qiao's face was quite surprised, and he didn't treat Liu Lan as a big bad wolf who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, as if he looked at a little white rabbit, his eyes were full of warmth.

"Haha, so coincidentally, I actually met Miss Xiao Qiao in Xiapi County, could it be that since Pei County, you have been staying in Xuzhou, girl?"

"Yes, since I left the apricot forest, I went to Mr. Lu's house, I heard the sound just now, so I came out to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Xiao Qiao's reaction didn't seem to know anything, and it was confirmed by Liu Lan's observation, otherwise with Xiao Qiao's Chen Mansion, Liu Lan could tell at a glance whether he was lying, and said with a smile: "Alas, there is no way, the main thing is that I am too good." ”

"Poof" Xiao Qiao was amused by him, pursed her lips and smiled: "You are still so humorous...... she wanted to say shameless, but she felt that it was inappropriate, and finally changed it to humor.

"Miss Xiao Qiao, Zijing and I still have important matters to discuss, so I will ask Xu Chu to take you to the post house first, and we will discuss it in detail later." Liu Lan, who was smiling and smiling, didn't look back, and said, "Zhongkang, don't take Miss Qiao to the post house yet!" ”

Xu Chu, who was holding the ring hand knife, immediately understood the lord's intentions, nodded and said, "No! ”

Xiao Qiao did not resist, but was still a little anxious. Liu Lan, who was already skeptical about whether Zhou Yu was in the same Lusu Mansion with Xiao Qiao, was even more suspicious when he saw this scene, no wonder Xiao Qiao took the initiative to show up, this was obviously to cover Zhou Yu's escape, and I don't know whether to say that Xiao Qiao was infatuated or Zhou Yu was shameless.

Waiting for Xiao Qiao to leave, Liu Lan's hand waved, and the guards around him rushed into the courtyard under the leadership of Chen Guo, and Liu Lan always held Lu Su's wrist, and after a while, Chen Guo came back to report, and Zhou Yu was not found in the courtyard, until this moment Liu Lan put down his palm and looked at Lu Su, who always looked calm and calm: "Say, where is Zhou Yu hiding?" ”

"Gong Jin is indeed not in the house." Lu Su felt wronged: "Since the Guangling incident, Zhou Yu sent Miss Xiao Qiao to the mansion, but he did not show up. He also understands that no matter what he says now, he is pale and powerless, but this is also normal, a person like Liu Lan who has been crisscrossing the world since he was young, what swords, mountains and fires, what conspiracies and tricks have not been seen, how can he easily trust a person with rich experience, not to mention that Xiao Qiao's appearance made him suspicious, and now he may not believe it no matter what he says, otherwise. Liu Lan will not become the hottest prince today from a small official.

"Lu Su, do you really think I'm a child, can I be bullied?"

"Envoy. The villain will never dare to lie to you! ”

"Lu Su, Lu Su, even if there is no Xiao Qiao today. Just because you secretly conspire with Zhou Yu, I can cure you for your crimes! "Liu Lan can't say that he doesn't know much, but is it useful, and he can't really go to the baht, so Liu Lan took this opportunity to pull Lu Su to his side in one fell swoop, so he has been targeting him since he arrived in Lu Mansion, just to let him come out under various pressures, and he is not afraid that Lu Su will be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and what he is most afraid of is that Zhou Yu will abduct him.

did everything to make Xiao Qiao's file. In fact, he regretted it the moment he sent someone to the side yard to check,

Since Xiao Qiao dared to show up, it meant that Zhou Yu was definitely in a safe place and would never catch him easily, but if Lu Su cooperated, he might be able to get Zhou Yu's whereabouts.

"What are you going to do?" The head of the upper nursing home in Lusu Mansion said earnestly.

Liu Lan glanced at these family members with a cold face, and turned to Lu Su, who said helplessly: "Don't be rude." ”

The Lu family Ding didn't dare to be reckless immediately, Liu Lan has always known the urine nature of these big clans' private songs. Most of them are composed of large households to protect themselves during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they have always only known the head of the family but not the government, and once the head of the family is in trouble, Mo said that Liu Lan is the state pastor. Even the Son of Heaven dared to resist, and it was inconvenient for Liu Lan to be angry for their previous reaction, and it was inconvenient for Liu Lan to react. The head of the household was anxious and asked Lu Su. said: "Let's talk about it, what is Zhou Yu's purpose in sending Xiao Qiao to your house?" ”

"Envoy. Since the Guangling nursery rhyme case, all counties and counties have been arresting Zhou Yu, and he is not easy to show up, but he must send Xiao Qiao out of Xuzhou, so he sent him to the house, and then send Xiao Qiao away when the time is ripe. ”

"Sure enough, things gather like people and divide people into groups, are you really not afraid of setting yourself on fire, or do you believe that I, Liu Lan, will not ask you about your crimes!"

"Envoy, I was also forced to be helpless in this matter, if this matter was Zhou Yu to ask the villain to send him to Xuzhou, he would never agree, but after Qiao Gong, how to refuse, I also believe that the envoy will never blame me for Xiao Qiao's girl."

"Haha, you're very sure, but it's not impossible to save your life, it's just to be out of office, from now on!"

"Ahh

"Why not? It seems that you really secretly hooked up with Zhou Yu, so it's okay, I'll take you down first, and then see if Zhou Yu, who can't get Xiao Qiao's news, will come to you for someone. ”

Lu Su reacted a lot, and immediately understood Liu Lan's true thoughts, and Liu Lan was also thinking about how likely it would be to use Xiao Qiao to force Zhou Yu to appear.

Liu Lan left like this, and in the next few days, the Lu Mansion stepped forward and even the entire Dongcheng began to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, just to lure Zhou Yu into the bait.

Liu Lan lived in the Lu Mansion, and this stay was three days, Lu Su was inseparable from him every day, except for saying something that Zhou Yu would never appear these words was chatting with Liu Lantian, this person is like this, he was not familiar with it at first and had some reservations, and with a few days of talking, he found that it was quite speculative.

And on this day, the two talked about Liu Lan's speech on fame and fortune in Xinglin, although he did not see it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, but through the relay of many people, he thought deeply of Liu Lan's words, and Liu Lan chatted about these in the middle hall, and said: "To make Jun Xinglin fame and fortune said, quite insightful, pointing directly to the hearts of the people, on the other hand, the scholars and scholars in this world, although they talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality one by one, but how many people are not ignorant of the people's sufferings and reputations? And what the envoy said, it seems that he is chasing fame and fortune like a businessman, but in fact it is the biggest light profit, benefiting one party, this is the real celebrity. ”

"What kind of celebrity am I, just a martial artist."

"You are humble."

"It's really not, from which point of view, it is impossible for a martial artist like me to become a scholar, but I understand one thing, there are too many differences between the people of this world and the ancients, the Qingliu scholars in this world are so empty talk, they began to talk about the government and politics, dare to be the first in the world, this is a real celebrity, but since the party, empty talk has become a means for some people to ascend to the top, and these people in my opinion are no longer scholars but ruffians, these ruffians are sanctimonious, people hold books in front of them to talk about the study of Confucius and Mencius, and people laugh at the bones of the frozen to death, such people have long forgotten the teachings of the sages, What benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith have long been left behind, once such a ruffian is used as an official or an official, it will harm far more than the people. ”

Lu Su also sighed in a low voice: "Yes, but the things in this world, the evil things, are they really all classified on the head of the family and solved?" I admit that there are a lot of vegetarian meals for the children of the family, but there are also a lot of splendid treasures in the abdomen, on the other hand, the students from poor families work hard in exchange for their first day, but how many people are there who seek the well-being of the people in the end? Therefore, it is said that the children of the family are both good and bad, and it is nothing more than whether they have virtue and talent. ”

Liu Lan nodded silently and said: "The poor students are limited by resources, and it is difficult to be compared with the family, but there are too many flies and dogs in the appointment of the Xu officials, so ah, the children of the poor family are indeed more able to endure hardships than the children of the family, but why are there so few of them who come out in the end, maybe you will say that no one recommends them for filial piety, but I see, most of the children of the poor family have been corroded after becoming Xu officials, and it is difficult to endure hardships as before, and the style of hard work has changed, thinking that the meaning of life has come to an end, do you say they can still take the lead?" ”

Lu Su was a little angry, and said: "These can't all be blamed on them, it's not because they can't see the day when the officials are corrupt." What's more, because of the war, they eventually fled, like a lost dog, from north to south, homeless. ”

"Lost dog, what a lost dog, Zijing, are you willing to be this lost dog?"

Lu Su's face suddenly became ugly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Liu Yuanjun, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Zijing, don't tell lies in front of real people, I don't know what promise Zhou Yu gave you, and I don't know what promise you gave him, but I know that he once intended to take Mr. Zibu into Yangzhou, so with Zijing's talent, then Zhou Yu will invite, I Xuzhou, since Tao Zhijun was there, there are more than one million households, nearly three million people, but since Cao Cao's military disaster, the population of Xuzhou has dropped to less than 1.6 million, and the two counties of Guangling and Langxie account for one million people, and the people of other counties, Which is not a home destroyed like a lost dog? Liu Lan looked excited, and pointed out the window: "Look at your hometown Xiapi, the Dongcheng where you live, do you really plan to go to Yangzhou to Shouchun instead of staying in Xuzhou to contribute to Xuzhou?"

Lu Su's eyes began to moisten, just now he and Liu Lan were talking about the ruffian laughing at the frozen bones, but at this moment he suddenly felt that the ruffian they were talking about was himself, how could he just leave Xuzhou and go to Shouchun, he seemed to understand Zhang Zhao's choice at once, and made up his mind: "The son worships the lord!"
