On the streets of Xiangyang, when Lu Ren was wandering around and thinking nonsense, Lu Lan, who was following Lu Ren, suddenly gently pulled Lu Ren's sleeve. When Lu Ren turned his head, Lu Lan was a little embarrassed and pointed to a small stall not far away, and his eyes were also full of longing. Lu Ren glanced at it and said dumbly: "Noodles, noodles? How did this thing exist in the Han Dynasty? I've been in the late Han Dynasty for ten years, and it's the first time I've seen this thing! Not to mention, I really miss the things that I was interested in when I was a child. Oh wrong, I remember playing with plasticine when I was a kid......"

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren was also a little interested, went to the stall and bought three noodles, and came back and handed them to Lu Lan. Seeing Lu Lan's happy appearance, Lu Ren couldn't help but stretch out his finger and tap Lu Lan's forehead, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are really a child." ”

Lu Lan pouted embarrassedly again, turned around and went back to the car to find Cai Yan and Minchan to play with noodles. Lu Ren folded his arms at this time, looked around the lively street market with a slight frown, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know how long this lively scene can last now......

However, Yuan Shao's roots in Hebei are deep, and it is not so easy for Cao Cao to completely take Hebei, and if Yuan Shao's foundation is not completely cut off, Cao Cao will not dare to wave his army south, otherwise Yuan Shao's forces will stab Cao Cao in the back, which is not a joke. Well, it seems that Jingxiang still has several years of stable life here, and relatively speaking, I have more time to find some talents who can be used by me. ”

Without further ado, in the afternoon, Lu Ren and his party came to the merchant in Xiangyang City. As soon as he entered the business, Zhang Fang greeted him and whispered to Lu Ren: "The lord is finally here!" Miss Mi was in the hall and the eldest prince Liu Qi was in the hall, and the snake ...... said, "By the way, the matter that Lu Ren and a few people around him have a "sound transmission magic weapon" is a confidential matter, and the others are unknown, Mi Zhen only told Zhang Fang this time that she had sent someone to find Lu Ren to come back.

Lu Ren nodded: "I see." You go and arrange the residence of Wen Ji and them, and I will deal with it from the eldest prince. ”

Zhang Fang led the order to retreat. Lu Ren strode to the front hall and saw Liu Qi sitting there talking to Mi Zhen without saying a word, and Mi Zhen smiled very reluctantly. It's no wonder that Mi Zhen is like this, don't look at Mi Zhen is twenty-five or six this year, and she often runs in the business field, but in the end, Mi Zhen is just a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, such a girl's family is so entangled in three days, and whoever changes it will feel annoyed, but Liu Qi's identity is there, and it is not good to color. I can only cope with it like this.

Suddenly, Mi Zhen glanced at Lu Ren who was walking into the hall, Mi Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly threw Liu Qi off and rushed to Lu Ren, and after throwing a resentful look at Lu Ren, she started to say officially: "Sir, you are finally here." ”

Lu Ren smiled and nodded again, and then saluted Liu Qi: "Eldest son, it's been a long time!" ”

Liu Qi hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and Mi Zhen flashed after a few polite words. Lu Ren waved away the waiters on the left and right, and after sitting down, he joked lukewarmly to Liu Qi: "I heard that the eldest prince has been pestering Xiaozhen recently? With all due respect, Xiaozhen is twenty-five years old this year. I'm afraid that you don't agree with the eldest son. ”

Strictly speaking, Lu Ren is ridiculing and warning Liu Qi. Let's put it this way, of course, after Lu Ren arrived in Jingzhou, he had to visit Liu Biao, and even naturally he had to deal with Liu Qi, who was Liu Biao's eldest son. And according to Lu Ren's observation and inquiry. Liu Qi's character...... In modern terms, this girl belongs to the second generation of officials and the second generation of wealth, but in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, these second-generation characters basically have problems, such as bullying others and oppressing the good. There is nothing in Liu Qi's body.

In general, Liu Qi is a playful but honest child. As for age, Liu Qi is actually only twenty years old this year, and he just nodded. And for one reason or another. Liu Qi, who is in his early twenties, has never been married, and he has not even been engaged, which is rare in this era.

The implication of Lu Ren's words is actually very clear, and Liu Qi is a person who has no courage, so it is said that he should immediately smear oil on the soles of his feet in a panic as soon as he sees Lu Ren like this. But at this moment, when Liu Qi saw Lu Ren, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and he immediately saluted and said, "Lu Servant, long time gone!" ”

The glimmer of joy in Liu Qi's eyes did not escape Lu Ren's eyes, and he said in his heart that it seemed that he had not calculated wrongly, Liu Qi seemed to have been pestering Mi Zhen recently, but the real purpose was to find Lu Ren. However, in order to further confirm, Lu Ren said to Liu Qi with a cold face: "The eldest prince, although it is said that my fair lady and gentleman are good, but I think you should have heard of it, I have already officially proposed to Mi Zizhong, so please don't pester Zhen'er anymore, otherwise ......."

As soon as he said this, Liu Qi left the table and said in fear: "I misunderstood, Lu Servant shot me and misunderstood!" ”

said so, but Lu Ren could see at a glance that the panic on Liu Qi's face was pretended, and he looked at him with a sense of urgency. Seeing Liu Qi like this, Lu Ren was completely sure in his heart at this time, the person Liu Qi was really looking for was indeed himself. And if Liu Qi is looking for himself, Lu Ren can probably guess eight or nine.

Looking back at Liu Qi and looking at Liu Qi quietly for a moment, Liu Qi stood up, bowed to Lu Ren, and said in a low voice: "Qi has been so entangled with Miss Mi in the past few days, it is really a helpless move, but there is really no half-hearted thought in my heart!" This is Qi's heartfelt words, and there is absolutely no half-falsehood! If there is any rudeness, look at the land servant to shoot the sea Han! Qi is so entangled just so that he can meet Lu Servant. ”

Facing Liu Qi's big salute, Lu Ren shook his head helplessly, stepped forward to help Liu Qi, sat down on the floor casually and said with a wry smile: "Eldest son, what are you looking for me?" ”

Liu Qi looked around vigilantly, and only after making sure that there was no one around did he approach Lu Ren, and lowered his voice as much as possible: "I really don't want to hide it, Qi wanted to go directly to the village to visit Brother Lu several times, but he was afraid that people would notice it and mistake the big thing." As a last resort, I had to pester Miss Mi in the past few days, hoping to meet Lu Servant. ”

Lu Ren's heart was also confused, and he didn't know what would happen to Liu Qi who was in such a hurry to find him. After being stunned, of course, Lu Ren asked, "What is the eldest prince looking for me?" ”

Liu Qi said a little nervously: "Recently, I learned that the caravan of ships shot by Lu Servant can sail as far as Tianzhu (India). Sell back high-quality sugar from Tianzhu for commercial profit? And is there a port of Qingning Village where Lu Servant shoots in Yizhou? You bought 30,000 pieces of grain and rice from the Cai family this time to send it to Yizhou Village for the purpose of refueling the fleet in the future? ”

Lu Ren nodded. As I said before, the matter of Yizhou is likely to be hidden, and the better way is to confuse the public, and Lu Ren is also deliberately making people think that the Yizhou City in his hand is just a relay supply port that can't produce much food. As for the so-called Tianzhu, it was because Lu Ren didn't want to disclose the sugar making technology he had at hand, otherwise what more profitable commercial goods could he get in Yizhou at the moment? At that time, people knew that the sugar technology originated in India, so Lu Ren also said that his grain was sold back from India, which was safer.

Although he was mentally prepared, what Liu Qi said at this time still made Lu Ren almost fall to the ground: "Brother Lu." The next time your ship caravan travels, can you take Qi to a small village in Yizhou to live for a few years!? ”

Liu Qi's words made Lu Renleng come back to his senses for a long time, and his mind was a little dazed for a while, and he asked Liu Qi in amazement: "Big, big boy, do you want to go overseas?" What are you doing overseas? ”

Liu Qi also nodded like garlic at this time: "Yes, yes, Qi wants to take advantage of Brother Lu's ship caravan to go overseas...... See, see, and also make a study tour. ”

When Lu Ren heard this, he really felt a little crying and laughing, and said in his heart, "What do you Liu Qi want to do?" But at this moment, Lu Ren's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration. The heart says it's wrong, right? Where does this kid want to go on an overseas study tour? You must know that now is not Lu Ren's era, Liu Qi is not a college student, and there is no Oxbridge, Cambridge or Harvard overseas, so what does Liu Qi want to do overseas? And the only one possible. It's that Liu Qi wants to play political asylum.

But thinking about it again, Lu Ren was also a little dizzy. It is not strange to say that Liu Qi knew that he had begun to be persecuted by Cai Mao's family, and then began to worry about his life. But the problem is that it has only been eight years since Jian'an. Zhuge Liang, who gave Liu Qi the support of "XX was born outside, XX died inside", was born to Liu Bei four years later, and it can even be said that Zhuge was only twenty-two years old when he was eight years old in Jian'an. Did you see or think that these things were all a problem, so why did Liu Qi come to Lu Ren to shout for help at this time?

Originally, I wanted to talk to Liu Qi a few more words, but after thinking about it, Lu Ren decided to be more straightforward, otherwise the rampage would not be finished, and he might have to cause some trouble. And the most important thing is that Lu Ren has just established himself here in Jingzhou now, and he doesn't want to trap himself in these things. To put it mildly, your Liu Qi's life or death is none of my business, and you can't die anyway.

So Lu Ren snorted softly, straightened his face and said coldly to Liu Qi: "The eldest prince deceived me!" In fact, what is the intention of the eldest son, Lu Ren already knows a thing or two. I really have the heart to help each other, how can you be so deceitful, unwilling to treat people with sincerity and chilling, but teach me how Lu Ren dares to help you? ”

As soon as Liu Qi heard this, his face changed greatly, and in a hurry, he wanted to bow to Lu Ren again: "Lu Servant shoots ......"

Lu Ren stretched out his hand to hold Liu Qi, but didn't let Liu Qi bow down, and his tone was still so cold: "The eldest prince doesn't need to say much, I don't have to say anything about what you think in your heart, Lu Ren can't help you, otherwise you will be burned." I also forgive Lu Ren for saying bluntly that the eldest prince can't just take care of himself, he should put himself in the shoes of others. ”

"Lu Servant Shooting!" Liu Qi was obviously in a hurry.

Before Liu Qi could say anything, Lu Ren had already stood up and turned around and walked back, and said to Liu Qi with his back: "Don't say anything, eldest son, please go back." And the only thing Lu Ren can help you now is that today's matter will definitely not be mentioned to others, so the eldest son, you can find another way out with peace of mind. ”

(Yesterday, the cheap body was occasionally infected with the cold, so I took a break for a day, so I hope I will forgive me.) (To be continued.) )
