In the evening of this day, Lu Chengkong carried the goods into the kitchen of Fumanlou, only to see a person who looked like a housekeeper coming over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info man looked at everyone, only called Lu Chengkong aside, and said to Ah Fu: "You go back first, he stays here." ”

As soon as Ah Fu saw this person, he immediately lowered his waist and said, "Yes, Hu Ye." ”

This man is the chief butler of Fumanlou, named Hu Mingwu. Fumanlou is full of guests every day, but today several shopkeepers were infected with wind and cold and were bedridden. The rest of the shopkeepers were already busy and had to look for people everywhere. But Fumanlou is very harsh in picking people, Hu Mingwu originally wanted to choose among the chefs, but when he saw that Lu Chengkong was ragged and weak, he took a closer look, but his eyebrows were clear, and he was full of bookish anger, not like a coolie.

Hu Mingwu has been working in Fumanlou for more than 20 years, has seen countless powerful and high-ranking officials, and is extremely confident in his own vision. Presumably, Lu Chengkong should have studied for a few years, and when he encountered difficulties, he was reduced to a coolie, so he said: "Today there is a shortage of manpower, and there are still a few shopkeepers." All you have to do is serve food and pour wine on the sidelines. Without waiting for Lu Chengkong to speak, he took out a string of copper coins from his arms, put them in front of Lu Chengkong's eyes, and said, "This is tonight's salary." ”

Lu Chengkong looked at the copper coin in Hu Mingwu's hand, and thought: Serving food and pouring wine for people can be worth working at the dock for three days, or in a few days, you will be able to raise all the plates. So he took the copper coin and said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Being able to do handymen in Fumanlou is something that is undesirable for the homeless people at the dock. But Hu Mingwu saw that Lu Chengkong was neither humble nor arrogant in replying, and he believed his own inference.

After finding a few more chefs, Hu Mingwu took a few people aside and changed into the clothes of the shopkeeper. Lu Chengkong and the others each held wine and food, straightened their waists, walked through the back kitchen, and came to the Fuman Building. I saw that the lobby was full, the voices were boiling, and from time to time, there were shopkeepers shuttling back and forth at the table with dishes.

After going up to the second floor, several people followed Hu Mingwu to a long corridor. The corridor is about 100 meters long, and there are six and seven halls on both sides with closed doors. There is no noise in the lobby here, only the sound of piano music can be heard from the door of the hall, and there is a small plaque inscribed on each hall door, which is the noble living room of Fumanlou.

Hu Mingwu explained how everyone should pour wine and serve food along the way, and soon came to the door of a hall, only to see a horizontal plaque on the door that said 'Furui Pavilion'. Hu Mingwu stopped, listened sideways to the movement in the room, and explained to a few people: "It's Yang Ergongzi sitting inside, after you go in, don't talk nonsense." After saying that, he pushed open the door and led everyone in.

There are only five people sitting in the hall, and one person in his early twenties in the middle has an extraordinary appearance and a good demeanor, it is Yang Zaisi, the second son of Yang Ting, the assassin of Chuzhou. The two people on the left are like scribes in their thirties, Si Svenwen. There is a person sitting on the right, named Su Ziqian, who was originally the captain of the Zhechong Mansion in Chuzhou, but because the military system of the Tang Dynasty has been abolished, there is no military government in Chuzhou, and it has been replaced by the "regimental training system". So each locality recruited its own soldiers, set up a regiment to train an envoy, and commanded the soldiers. The Chuzhou regimental training envoy is Yang Ting, and Su Ziqian has followed Yang Ting for more than 20 years, he has lived in the army since he was a child, he is extraordinary, calm in trouble, and loyal to Yang Ting, so he served as the deputy envoy of Chuzhou regimental training. I saw that he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, not smiling, and just sitting there had a kind of murderous atmosphere. The person at the end is also dressed as a scribe, surnamed An Shaowen, who is a well-educated man, and is now the marching Sima of Chuzhou, and also Yang Ting's henchman.

Hu Mingwu stepped forward, saluted the person in the middle and said, "Second son, please forgive Hu for not greeting him well." Then he turned to the descendant and said, "Serve the wine and food." ”

Lu Chengkong carefully put the dishes on the table, secretly looked at everyone, only to see that the second son of Yang didn't get up, and replied with a smile: "Master Hu, where are you?" He thought to himself: "Yang Ting is not only the highest line, political official, and member of Chuzhou, but also commands the army of a city, integrating military and political affairs, even if someone supervises, it must be nothing, what is this not the emperor of the soil?" His second son, who exudes a smell of wealth and nobility all over his body, is placed in the future, but he is an official and a rich second generation. ”

Hu Mingwu said with a smile: "Then don't disturb the second son, if you have any orders, just say, I'll go down first." After speaking, he motioned to Lu Chengkong to pour wine for everyone, and walked out of the hall.

When the dishes are served, only Lu Chengkong and one person are left to stand in the corner and listen to the guests' orders.

Yang Ergongzi picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone has come from afar, and I will give you a glass again." After that, he just took a small sip.

The others also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Yang Zaisi is the second son of Yang Ting, the assassin of Chuzhou, and he likes to listen to famous generals and the art of war on weekdays, and Chuzhou is a place where the warriors of the world gather, and he will make friends with talented people whenever he finds out.

"Dare to ask when Mr. Lu will be able to arrive in Chuzhou?" Yang Zaisi asked.

A scribe on the left clasped his hands and said: "Back to the second son, the family teacher is a guest in the Assassin's Mansion in Maozhou at this time, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach Chuzhou in five or six days." The family teacher specially ordered me to come to Chuzhou in advance and inform the second son. ”

The leftmost scribe also bowed, and then said, "In Xia Lu Zheng, I have seen Yang Gongzi. As he spoke, he pointed to the person beside him and said, "This is my brother, Lu Sheng." ”

Yang Zaisi also replied: "The two gentlemen don't have to see outside, they have heard the name of Taigong Lu for a long time, and it is a blessing to see his descendants today!" ”

Lu Sheng said: "The family teacher Lu Wenchang is the twenty-third generation of Lu Taigong. We can't be regarded as the descendants of the princess. "The brothers Lu Sheng and Lu Zheng were originally orphans living on the streets, and Lu Wenchang adopted the two since childhood, treated them as if they were his own, passed on what they had learned, and led them to travel all over the world together. Although they are nominally masters and apprentices, their feelings are more than that of their biological father and son.

Lu Chengkong was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: "Mrs. Lu...... Could it be that it is Lu Taigong of "Taigong's Twenty-four Chapters"? ”

It is rumored that Lu Taigong was the prime minister of the Three Dynasties thousands of years ago, and he knew the art of war and strategy. Taigong was poor in his early years, but he did not forget his ambition, traveled all over the world, learned all the world's learning, but he chose the master and did not meet until he was old, and took the opportunity of fishing by the Weishui River to wait for the Ming Jun who could know himself. At that time, King Wen of Zhou was looking for capable people everywhere, and finally met Taigong by the Weishui River.

After that, King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou, with the assistance of the Taigong, the prestige of Zhou spread far and wide, and all the princes of the world turned to Zhou. In the end, Shang died and Zhou Li, and the great cause was finally accomplished. 'The words of the later generations and the Yin power of Zhou are all the plots of the Taigong of Zong. This statement continues to this day. Lu Taigong can be called 'the originator of the military family, the abyss of the military', and later generations call Taigong the 'master of a hundred schools'.

Yang Zaisi suddenly became interested and said: "Today, there are four holy scriptures in the military family, which are the "Twenty-four Articles of Taigong", "Lu Sheng's Art of War", "Taibai's Last Strategy", and "Tiger Yin Sutra". It is a blessing for Yang to see the descendants of Mrs. Lu today! ”

Lu Sheng smiled slightly and replied: "It is said that Yang Gongzi of Chuzhou is a dragon and phoenix among people, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." In front of the second son, why should I wait for the descendants of the princess! ”

Yang Zaisi heard Lu Sheng's compliment, and replied: "Legend in the world says that these four military holy scriptures, the best one can win the world. I have also read these four military books, but I still have many doubts, and today I have the opportunity to consult Mr. Lu, and Mr. Wang is reluctant to give advice. ”

Lu Sheng Zhengse said: "Don't you dare to ask for advice, dare to ask where the second son's "Twenty-four Chapters of Taigong" came from? ”

Yang Zaisi said: "I got it from the Chuzhou bookstore. ”

Lu Sheng shook his head and said: "The "Twenty-four Chapters of Taigong" that has been passed down by the world is only a fragmented work. ”

After hearing this, Yang Zaisi was puzzled, the bookstore in Chuzhou is one of the best in the Tang Dynasty, how can the books in it be incomplete?

Seeing Yang Zaisi's puzzled look, Lu Sheng laughed and said: "Young Master Yang doesn't know, the ancestor Lu Taigong is indeed the author of "Taigong's Twenty-four Chapters", but how can it be passed on to outsiders. The world is only 12 out of 10. ”

Lu Chengkong poured wine for everyone again, although he had never been a shopkeeper before, but he had never eaten pork and seen a pig run, and the technique of pouring wine was very good. He was intrigued when he heard the people talking about the art of war, so he pricked up his ears as he poured wine.

Yang Zaisi said thoughtfully: "It turns out that the four sacred scriptures of the military family that Zaisi learned on weekdays are all incomplete foundations...... No wonder there are very few famous generals in the world! ”

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk.

Yang Zaisi's face was slightly red, and he asked, "Ziqian, when will the official document of this martial arts arrive in Chuzhou?" ”

Su Ziqian drank most of the wine alone, but he was not the slightest drunk, and replied soberly: "Last month, my lord and I came back from Chang'an, and the official document was only issued at that time, and it will be in a few days at most." ”

Yang Zaisi nodded and said, "That's just ......."

An Shaowen said: "In a few days, Mr. Lu will arrive in Chuzhou, if he has a few instructions, the first martial champion of our Tang Dynasty will definitely be the son!" ”

Yang Zaisi has felt since he was a child that civil officials have the prestige of military generals, and in the early years, there was news that the court was going to open a military move, and he looked forward to it day and night, and finally gave it to him.
