Chapter 13: The Laughing Stock

Nuo Dapei, Liu Kan doesn't know many people, and the women he knows are only a handful.

In addition to her mother, Mrs. Kan, and Wang Ji, who has only one side of the relationship and sells wine, that is, the two daughters of the Lu family.

However, to be honest, the last thing Liu Kan wants to see is these two eldest ladies.

The reason is also very simple: Lu Pheasant is too smart, too elf, thoughtful, not to mention, and he is also very familiar with Liu Kan.

Although he had only been with Lu Pheasant for a few days, Liu Kan could feel it. Maybe today's Lu Pheasant has not yet shown the demeanor of the Empress Lu in history, but in terms of her shrewdness and ability, she has shown the spirit of a strong woman. Judging from the current situation of the Lu family, Lu Gong is obviously a little old, and he is indecisive in many things, and he can't see the courage that Kan Yuan said.

And Lu Pheasant, to a certain extent, has begun to take charge of the affairs of the Lu family, and it is handled in an orderly manner.

Getting along with such a famous woman, and a smart famous woman, even if Lu Pheasant is still a little girl, Liu Kan still feels pressure.

However, since the sisters of the Lu family are here, he can't be too indifferent.

Lu Huan is still a little girl who doesn't understand the hardships and dangers of the world, and when she saw Liu Kan, she was as happy as a little lark.

Before Lu Pheasant could speak, Lu Huan had already rushed forward and knocked Liu Kan's head hard with her foot up.

"Stink, why don't you come and play with me?"

Liu Kan smiled generously and reached out to rub Lu Huan's head. Lu Huan's size is only up to Liu Kan's neck, and it feels good to rub it.

After all, she had lived for thirty or forty years in her previous life, and in Liu Kan's eyes, Lu Huan was like a little daughter.

"Why are you moving my head...... People just combed their hair today, you see, you see, all of a sudden, they were messed up by you, I hate it! ”

Lu Huan said, escaping from Liu Kan's 'clutches', muttering, looking unhappy.

Liu Kan said: "Our grandmother is very beautiful no matter when! ”

"Really?"

Lu Huan looked up in surprise, with a hint of her little daughter's shyness on her face. But then he said, "It's just not as beautiful as my sister." ”

Lu Pheasant, who was on the side, stepped forward and hugged Lu Huan, "After two years, Ah Huan must be more beautiful than my sister." ”

Coaxed Lu Huan to show a smile, Lu Pheasant smiled and nodded at Liu Kan, "Ah Kan, I heard that you and your aunt live here, so I came to see you." Why haven't you settled your family business yet? Is there not enough money on your body? If so, you're going to tell us. ”

Liu Kan hurriedly shook his head, "No, no......"

At this time, Mrs. Kan came out with a bright smile when she heard the voice. It can be seen that she loves the Lu family sisters from the bottom of her heart.

Sister Lu Pheasant greeted Mrs. Kan again, and when Lu Huan heard that Mrs. Kan was cooking, she immediately became excited.

"Auntie's cooking is the best, and those people in the family can't compare!"

"Really? Stay here at noon, and your aunt will make you a delicious meal. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Lu Huan stroked her palms and laughed, followed behind Mrs. Kan, saying that she was going to the kitchen to study. As for the real purpose, everyone knows it.

Lu Pheasant stayed.

Seeing that Mrs. Kan and Lu Huan were gone, she glanced at Liu Kan on the side with bright, autumn-like eyes, and suddenly smiled.

Liu Kan felt very uncomfortable, sat on the porch, and played a game of thumbs.

Nervous, sitting next to a future strong woman, there is really an inexplicable sense of tension.

"Ah Kan, I heard that you exchanged all the money and silk on your body for Qin coins, didn't you?"

"Ahh

Liu Kan was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: Why did this thing that was done yesterday reach Lu Pheasant's ears today? Who is so big mouthed?

Lu Pheasant seemed to see Liu Kan's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Hehe, it seems that you don't know yet." Now most of the residents of Pei know about it. And everyone said that you did a stupid thing, and some Chu people said that they would not sell you anything. ”

"Why?"

Liu Kan frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What does it have to do with whether I exchange Qin coins or not to sell my things?" ”

"Don't you know?" Lu Pheasant said: "There are many Chu people in Pei, and they hate the old Qin people to the core. When you first arrived, you exchanged so many Qin coins, and in addition to saying that you were stupid, those people also felt that your heart was towards the Qin State. So, naturally, there will be some hostility towards you.

Plus your physique...... Hehe, it looks like the body of an old Qin person, and those people feel even more uncomfortable. ”

Liu Kan didn't feel anything, but he just felt that those people were really full and had nothing to do.

It's just an exchange for Qin coins, how did you still contact the heart of Qin? Taller and stronger, is it the old Qin people?

Seeing that Liu Kan didn't speak, Lu Pheasant comforted: "But don't worry. It is estimated that those people are just angry for a while, and it will be better after a while. Otherwise, you can get someone to help...... The people here are bullying, but they are not without good intentions. ”

The corners of Liu Kan's mouth twitched, "I'm not in a hurry, who is stupid and who is shrewd, it is not yet known." ”

As soon as the words came out, Liu Kan felt that something was wrong. He was very afraid that Lu Pheasant would have doubts because of such a sentence.

Sure enough, Lu Pheasant looked at Liu Kan in a daze, and there was a trace of doubt in his big bright eyes.

"Kan, you know what?" Lu Pheasant said in a low voice: "Since you woke up, it seems that you have changed as a person. Sometimes I really doubt that you are still not the simple Ah Kan...... But it's always good to be smarter. ”

Liu Kan could hear the deep concern contained in Lu Pheasant's words.

His heart warmed, and he naturally held Lu Pheasant's hand, "Ah Pheasant, thank you for your concern." ”

The soft wattle is very warm, like a jade, and the skin is delicate, which makes people feel very comfortable. Lu Pheasant's face couldn't help but turn red.

However, she did not withdraw her hand, but let Liu Kan hold it.

"Akan, if you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me. No matter what you become, you will always be the Ah Kan in my heart. ”

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant stretched out his hand and played with Liu Kan's dispersion hanging in front of his forehead.

In fact, when she was young, Lu Pheasant was really a very docile and beautiful girl. Liu Kan looked at Lu Pheasant's pink delicate beauty, stupid!

******

Xiangxian (now Zhangji, Suixi, Anhui), is a barren land.

However, in this wasted land, there was a great man, that is, Hao Li Er in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

This place originally belonged to the Chu land, but after the fall of the Chu state, it became the seat of Surabaya County.

The Qin army led by Wang Ben is galloping across the land of Qilu. Although the Qi State has perished, the sporadic rebellions have not stopped.

Compared with the chaotic Qi State, Xiangxian seems to be extremely calm.

Tu Sui, the new county guard of Surabaya County, was originally a general in Wang Ben's army. The Yiqu people have the unique fierce spirit of the old Qin people.

He is not very tall, but he appears to be very stout.

In particular, his neck was short and sturdy, so that among the Qin army, there was the nickname Xiang Tu, which means that this person liked to cut people's necks the most. A swarthy face, a beard like a steel needle. At this time, this general, who likes to cut people's necks, is standing straight.

At the foot of the steps, on one knee knelt a young general.

"Ren Huan came to report on the order of the king and knocked on General Tu."

Although he was appointed as a county guard, Tu Sui preferred to be called a general. He was a soldier and always will be.

In the eyes of many people, Tu Sui is stern and unsmiling.

However, looking at the young man at the bottom of the steps, this guy, who was known for his ruthlessness, showed an imperceptible smile.

"Ren Huan, hurry up, it's been hard all the way!"

Ren Huan raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "If you can serve the king, even if you die, you will be happy in your heart, why do you have to work hard?" ”

"Whoa!"

Tu Sui showed appreciation, "He is worthy of being a good man who came out of the Iron Eagle Warrior." Yes, I can serve the king, although I am still honoring to die! ”

As he spoke, Tu Sui walked down the steps and helped Ren Huan up, "Ren Huan, you must already know the purpose of the king's sending you." ”

Ren Huan said in a deep voice: "The king wants to make a great achievement that has never been done in ancient and modern times, and before Xianyang came out, Lord Shangqing has already confessed his humble duties, and everything is subject to General Tu's dispatch. ”

When talking about Lord Shangqing, Ren Huan showed admiration.

The Lord Shangqing in his mouth is the second son of the Meng family who has served under the command of Qin Wangzheng for three generations, Meng Yi.

Tu Sui took Ren Huan's hand and said as he walked: "Although Chu has lost the country, it is still not stable. The situation in Surabaya County is very complicated, with many bandits and remnants of various countries staying here. These people have an unforgettable hatred for my Great Qin, and they often cause us trouble. Surabaya County has many swampy depressions and complex terrain. Once those guys are hidden, they are really hard to find.

The king wants to fight for a hundred crosses and open up a vast territory that has never been seen by Yaoshun.

Surabaya County is the foundation of our army's conquest of Baiyue, and if Surabaya is restless, the supply and demand of our army will be unstable.

I am good at marching and fighting, but I have more than enough heart and not enough strength to govern this place. That's why I asked the king for a transfer of officials.

But I didn't expect the king to send you over.

However, this also shows that the king's matter of conquering Baiyue has reached the point where it cannot be delayed, and you and I need to work together. ”

Ren Huan intervened and said: "General Tu rest assured, he will do his best to help General Ping Ning Surabaya." ”

"Very good!"

Tu Sui knelt behind the long case and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Ren Huan, "I plan to appoint you to Pei County." The situation there is complicated, bandits are rampant. I am ready to start the first battle of the Surabaya bandits from Pei County. The king has also decided to cooperate with our actions and stop hunting in the east this year, so as to paralyze the bandits. Here's some information...... Ren Huan, I want you to pacify the bandits in Pei County within the year.

Can? ”

Ren Huan grinned, "Don't worry, the young general will not fail in his mission." ”

After speaking, he unfolded the bamboo slip and began to read it carefully. Tu Sui did not have the slightest sense of blame for Ren Huan's attitude.

In his opinion, seizing all the time and solving problems as soon as possible is the character that the old Qin people should have.

By the time of the palm, Ren Huan had finished reading the content of the information. Putting away the bamboo slips, he stood up, "General, let's go to Pei County." ”

"Well, without further ado, I won't keep you!"

Tu Sui pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Ren Huan, where are you going to start?" ”

Ren Huan thought for a while and said softly: "Peixian is seriously troubled, if you want to calm down within the year, you need to use thunder means, which can be effective."

I am afraid that simple encirclement and suppression will not be enough to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Therefore, the humble duty is ready to deter the bandits with one police hundred; Then the method of pacification was used to calm the troubles of Pei County. ”

Tu Sui nodded and praised: "Well, this is also a way." But I don't know which 'one' you are going to take to deter? ”

Ren Huan thought for a moment and said a name softly. When Tu Sui heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Choosing this person is exactly what I want." ”
