"I'm about to leave for Xudu, hasn't Miss Mi rushed back yet?"

Hearing Lu Ren's question, Lu Fang shook his head. Lu Ren frowned, looked up at the sky again, shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "Forget it, time waits for no one, and it won't be like a word to delay any longer." In this way, as soon as Miss Mi rushes back, Zifang, you will immediately send someone to catch up with me on a fast horse and deliver the things that Miss Mi helped me make. ”

Lu Fang nodded in response, Lu Ren took a deep breath and ordered the Lu family's disciples: "Let's go!" ”

Everyone received the order, and after Lu Ren got on the horse, he looked back at his mansion gate, shook his head and prepared to go. It's just that the horsewhip is raised, and the sound of the piano and flute suddenly ringing in the courtyard will come out, Lu Ren knows that this is Cai Yan and Wan'er, who are inconvenient to go out on this occasion, are using music to see him off, and he can only smile casually at the moment, deliberately wanting to slow down his pace, so that he can really leave after listening to this song.

"It's "Sword and Fairy Love"...... These two little girls, why did you use this song to see me off? However, the lyrics include 'You are on the other side of the world', 'I am on this side of the world', 'Affection for me', 'Missing you', and they can barely fit the current scene. But if I had known they would be like this, I would have taught them something else, like "The Fifteenth Moon", which is pretty good...... Well, it seems that it is not appropriate to actually sing it. Forget it, what do you want to do so much? I don't really remember much of that kind of song. ”

In fact, at this time, Lu Ren's group has walked out for a while, and the sound of the piano and flute behind him is already a little blurred, and Lu Ren is just making up the melody in his head. And at the last sentence, Lu Ren couldn't help but sing his voice:

"If you are with you/Don't envy the mandarin ducks, don't envy the immortals-"

There is only this sentence, but it is enough for Lu Ren. Lowering his head and smiling, Lu Ren turned around on the horse, looked at the courtyard and whispered to himself: "Wan'er, take care of yourself, don't let me worry, wait for me to come back with peace of mind!" And Akihime, when I come back, we'll work together to make a villain......"

When Lu Ren looked back again on the horse, he saw Wan'er standing against the door......

――――――――――――――――――――

According to the military system at that time, there were also hundreds of young people in Meng Village, where Lu Ren was located, who wanted to go to the army to fight, so Lu Ren actually came to Xuchang with these hundreds of people.

Although Lu Ren has always been a civilian before, he often has to deal with those military affairs, so he is no stranger to what he has to do. However, his task was to escort grain and grass, and the departure was not so fast, so when he finished dealing with all kinds of related affairs and set off on the road, it was already three days after he arrived in Xuchang.

Seeing that the team was complete, Lu Ren looked back at Xu Changcheng and nodded to Cao Hong beside him. In this mission, Cao Hong is the main general, and Lu Ren can only be regarded as a deputy. However, although he is a deputy, he can balance the main general to a certain extent, because his position is: supervising the army.

The team moved forward slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it walked out more than ten miles. Suddenly, someone came behind Lu Ren's team on a fast horse, and a female voice also shouted, "Sir, wait a minute!" ”

As soon as Lu Ren heard it, he knew that Mi Zhen was coming, so he hurriedly greeted Cao Hong, and he turned his horse's head to greet Mi Zhen. And a moment later, Mi Zhen, who was riding alone, rushed to Lu Ren's side, and the person was already drenched in sweat, panting, and his hair and clothes were messed up.

"Sir, why should you wait a little longer? I won't be allowed to rush back to see you off! ”

Lu Ren knew that although Mi Zhen could ride a horse, she rarely rode it in normal times, but now she knew that she was in a hurry at a glance, and said apologetically: "No way, this is a march to fight, and I can't miss the time." ”

Mi Zhen wiped her sweat carelessly, and handed a big box on her back to Lu Rendao: "I know!" Gossip aside, this is what you want, sir, and it was finally made in time. ”

Lu Renxin said that I had been waiting for this thing, and now I finally caught up, so he smiled at Mi Zhen and said, "Great, great, this time I will rest assured." Sister, when I'm not there, you pay more attention to all industries. Wan'er and Zhaoji are there......"

Mi Zhen frowned slightly, in fact, she was more or less sour towards Cai Yan, but she also knew that it was irresistible: "Don't worry, sir, I will take care of it...... Oh, and this! ”

Saying that, Mi Zhen handed over the four bamboo tubes hanging behind the saddle to Lu Ren: "Last time Mr. Guo asked me for it." Brother you're not good at military affairs, it's right to listen to Mr. Guo's words more, these should just be a little thank you gift to Mr. Guo. ”

Lu Ren shook his head and smiled: "I know this better than you...... There are some things that you know better than others, so you can wait for me to come back and take on another important role. You're just rushing over by yourself now, it's always a little inconvenient to be single alone, go back early and rest, don't worry me. ”

Mi Zhen shook her head: "The family in the back will catch up soon, so please slow down and let me give Mr. a ride." ”

At this point, Lu Ren was completely speechless, and said secretly in his heart: "Please, I'm just going to be a grain officer, and I'm just going to mix up some military merits for a walk, why do I really want to go into battle one by one!?" ”

――――――――――――――――――――

More than 3,000 troops were escorting hundreds of loaded grain trucks on the road to Pengcheng, Xuzhou.

The young general at the head looked up at the slanting sun in the sky, and then looked at the hilly and mountainous area in front of him, which was about thirty miles away from his position, and his brows couldn't help frowning. After a moment of contemplation, the general shouted: "The whole army stops!" Camp and rest, every man in place! ”

A cadre of soldiers and soldiers received orders, and the young general turned his horse and walked to one of the carriages in the team and said to the carriage: "Mr. Lu, the sky will be dark, and it is inconvenient to walk at night, so today we will camp in this place with flat terrain and a wide field of vision, and it will not be too late to leave tomorrow after it is peaceful." ”

The curtain of the car door was opened, and Lu Ren poked his head out of the carriage and said: "You are the main general, and you are far more proficient than me in terms of marching and fighting, and you have the final say on everything on the road!" ”

This young general was none other than Cao Hong, whom Cao Cao had arranged to accompany Lu Ren. Previously, Lu Ren intentionally transferred the secret recipe of wine to Cao Hong, so that Cao Hong made a small profit, and Cao Cao also reprimanded Cao Hong many times, so now Cao Hong is also deliberately getting closer to Lu Ren. And along the way, Cao Hong was quite satisfied to see that Lu Ren didn't cause him any trouble. In addition, the two are close in age, and now there is a bit of a taste of not knowing each other.

After instructing the soldiers around him to inspect the camp, Cao Hong turned over and dismounted, leaned on Lu Ren's carriage and said to Lu Ren: "Mr. Lu, since we set off, what are you doing when you stay in the carriage and don't come out?" Is it a physical condition? ”

Lu Ren lifted the curtain again and got out of the car, sat on the wheels and said, "No, no, I'm in good health." I haven't been in the car for the past few days, because I have something on hand that I am working on. ”

Cao Hong was also interested, and tilted his head to look into Lu Ren's carriage: "Mr. Lu, what kind of novelty is he fiddling with, right?" When the battle in Xuzhou is over, will you be ready to let the beautiful lady Mi make commercial goods and sell them on a large scale? How about you let me see it before that? ”

Although the words were a joke, Lu Ren saw a few different tastes in Cao Hong's eyes, and he laughed secretly in his heart for a while. Lu Ren understands that Cao Hong's attitude towards him will change so much, to a large extent, Lu Ren's "wine secret recipe tactics" have worked, Cao Cao didn't say that wine, as a rumored wine in the Western Regions, can be compared to gold in the Central Plains? With Cao Hong's greedy and stingy character, since he has tasted the sweetness for the first time, he naturally wants to get something from Lu Ren that can make a lot of profits, so where will he embarrass Lu Ren again?

At that moment, Lu Ren smiled casually, and did not deliberately hide anything, but took out three bamboo pipes and a small cloth bag that were being processed from the carriage, and fiddled with them generously under Cao Hong's nose, and while fiddling, he also said to Cao Hong intentionally: "Brother Zilian, how did the wine you made sell last time?" ”

As soon as Cao Hong mentioned this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said with a little excitement in his tone: "I didn't sell anything, because it was the first brew, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, so when the new wine was first formed, I gave some to my acquaintances, and asked them to help me taste it before making plans." Not to mention, they all applauded after drinking, and some people were even willing to buy it for a lot of money...... But I didn't sell it, but I followed your recipe by filling the new wine in oak barrels, and then digging a warm cellar where I stored the wine for a certain period of time before using it. ”

"Oops? I can't imagine that Cao Hong, a miser, actually has a time when he can hold it! Lu Ren smiled secretly in his heart, and smiled at Cao Hong, who had an expectant look on his face: "Last time, I saw your vineyard and felt that there were some ways to plant it, so I gave you the cultivation of that grape." But because I was afraid that you would still hold a grudge against me and wouldn't ask for my things, I only wrote a cursory one. How many grapes have you harvested in your vineyard this year? ”

Cao Hong said: "It's not bad, there are more than 10,000 catties, which is two or three percent more than before...... Wait, Mr. Lu, did you just say that what you gave me before was only a rough scripture? ”

Lu Ren nodded. He's not stupid, he's already ready to put a hot face on a cold ass at that time, so how can the information be written in detail? However, after the relationship with Cao Hong improved, Lu Ren did rewrite a more detailed viticulture method, and Cai Yan should be helping Lu Ren transcribe it at this time...... is still the same sentence, Lu Ren's words are too ugly.

"After the class teacher Xu Du, I will send the complete and detailed scriptures, and I believe that if you plant them according to the scrolls, your vineyard can harvest a few percent more grapes every year. But Brother Zilian, when Miss Mi's wine shop buys wine from you, you have to remember to order my good and charge less for wine! ”
