As soon as Liu Xiu returned to Ningcheng, Liu Bei told him that the people of the Dou family had left, and they had gone cleanly, and there was no trace of them within a radius of fifty miles.

"Do you know which direction to go?"

Liu Bei shook his head, carefully looked at Liu Xiu's face, and saw that although Liu Xiu's face was gloomy, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "Mr. is worried about you." ”

"What is Sir worried about me?" Liu Xiu glanced at Mao Yan in front of him, and deliberately joked: "Are you worried about me or her?" ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but "snort", and felt a little rude, so he hurriedly coughed twice, and lowered his voice: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. is really worried about you." He said that you are a man who values love and righteousness, and Dunwu died because of you, and he was afraid that you would be in a hurry, impulsive, and do irrational things. ”

"What sane can there be?" Liu Xiu grinned silently and didn't say anything more. Liu Bei saw that he was not so excited, so he was relieved.

After returning to Ningcheng, Lu Min asked a few more questions, hoping that Liu Xiu would not be too impulsive, but Liu Xiu responded and did not mention the matter again. They settled down, inspected Hu City for more than ten days, and went to visit Tito. Tituo said it hard, but in fact, his heart was very empty, but fortunately, Liu Xiu didn't mention Huai Zong, but just asked him about some customs on the grassland, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and picked on what he thought was okay.

More than half a month passed in a flash, and Lu Min was accompanied by Wang Chan to inspect the nearby fortresses such as Yanmen Mountain and Jiming Mountain, and sorted out an article of five or six thousand words and more than a dozen topographic maps, which were added to the "East Hu Zhi", and finally had a rough understanding of the surrounding situation.

On this day, they made the final transcription in the house, and in order to thank Xia Yu for his support, Lu Min specially asked Liu Xiu to copy a copy of "Donghu Zhi", ready to leave it as a gift for Xia Yu, and when Xia Yu came back, they said goodbye to him and prepared to go to Yuyang again. There are iron officials and salt officials in Yuyang, and most of the salt and iron needed by the Hu people come out of that side. Lu Min naturally would not let go of such an important place.

However, Xia Yu never returned.

"Deran, after you finish transcribing, go to Zhang Zhi and ask, if the captain hasn't come back yet, let's leave the book and leave first." Lu Min frowned and said, "It's about to be mid-autumn, and if you don't go to Yuyang, it may be a little late." ”

Liu Xiu nodded: "Okay, I'll copy it with a little bit, and I'll go as soon as I'm done." ”

Lu Min smiled with satisfaction, pushed the topographic map in his hand in front of Liu Xiu, and sighed: "I only know now that Danhan Mountain was originally Liangqu Mountain in Dai County, and it was all the territory of my Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty. It's a pity that we, the younger generations, are incompetent, and we actually let the Hu people set up a royal court here, which is ashamed of our ancestors. ”

Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment, and said in his heart, you feel ashamed, if you know that Luoyang will become the capital of the Hu people in the future, and the entire Central Plains will be occupied by the Hu people, and the Han people can only retreat in the southeast, deceiving themselves and treating themselves as Zhengshuo, will you commit suicide?

"It's not too late to make amends, I'm afraid that we are still unconscious and self-righteous, then we will lose more and more land." Liu Xiu said cautiously: "Speaking in detail, how can it be Daijun, Shanggu, not only Youzhou, but also the five plains of Bingzhou?" How many Han people are there still in the Shuofang counties established by Emperor Xiaowu back then? ”

"That's different." Lu Min disagreed with Liu Xiu's opinion, "The Huns were able to live in Senei, not because my Han was unable to conquer, on the contrary, it was the embodiment of my Han benevolence and virtue to rule the world, and they are not our enemies now, but our subordinates." Don't you see that the Huns are guarding the border for our Han people now? ”

"If this kind of thing is handed over to a foreigner, something will happen sooner or later." Liu Xiu retorted: "According to my senior brother's statement, the Wuhuan people also moved to Senei because of the permission of my Han Dynasty, and now there are Wuhuan people in all the counties on the border, and they also obey the call of my Han and guard the border for me, but do you see what Ti Tu is doing now?" He actually dared to bring Huai Zong to Ning County. ”

"Ti Tu is Ti To, and he is not a difficult building." The more Lu Min spoke, the more unconfident he became, his voice gradually lowered, and he held the map in his hand, feeling a little heavy. The matter of Huai Zong's visit to Ningcheng is still controlled by a few people, and even the soldiers who went out of the city to pursue that day did not know who the person to chase was, but Liu He knew it, but he scoffed at it, and insisted that it was Liu Xiu's speculation, and resolutely refused to admit that the Wuhuan people had such courage.

Seeing his attitude, he was so free that he suddenly became majestic, shouting that he would wait for Xia Yu to come back and file a complaint, asking him to punish Wang Chan, saying that he was suspected of robbery, and Wang Chan's nose was crooked.

Liu He expressed his attitude, and the others had to remain silent, besides, such a thing is indeed a very depressing thing for Wang Chan and Zhang Wu, if they found out about this earlier, they would definitely be able to make a big contribution this time, how could they not eat mutton like now.

In the evening, Liu Xian was about to go to see if Xia Yu had returned, and Wang Chan sent a message, saying that Xia Yu was already on his way back to Ningcheng, and asked Lu Min to wait for two days and tell him about the important situation. Lu Min was a little surprised when he heard this, although he was in a hurry, he had to wait patiently, since Xia Yu sent someone back in advance to send the news back, he must have discovered something.

Two days later, Xia Yu returned to Ningcheng and immediately invited Lu Min and Liu He, Liu Xiu didn't dare to slack off, holding the newly copied "Donghu Zhi", and rushed behind Lu Min. As soon as they met, they said a few words, Lu Min sent the book, Xia Yu took it and looked at it, praised it first, and then turned two pages, and saw that there was a detailed table of contents and abstract in front of him, and he was full of praise, saying that this book is well compiled, the content is detailed, illustrated and illustrated, and the outline is very easy to find.

Lu Min is very modest and puts all the credit on Liu Xiu, in fact, although this idea was given by Liu Xiu, but the summary of each chapter was written by Lu Min, although Liu Xiu's calligraphy is good, after all, Lu Min is not as easy as Lu Min, and a few vernacular words will pop up from time to time in the literature.

Xia Yu was very satisfied with Lu Min's performance. This young man is not only down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships, but also does not take credit, which is rare among Confucian scholars who have low eyes and low skills but are self-righteous. He smacked his lips, a little regretful, how good it would be if there was such a talent in the Captain Guard's Mansion.

"Your brothers and sisters are all rare talents." Xia Yu smiled, put the book aside, and said straight to the point: "Lu Jun, the reason why I came back late this time is because I found some problems halfway and wanted to ask Lu Jun for advice." ”

Lu Min didn't even dare to say it.

Xia Yu waved his hand, not polite, and told the situation he found on the way. This time, he patrolled along the Great Wall until he reached the vicinity of Yanmen Mountain, which was only more than fifty miles away from the royal court of the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people have a habit of gathering near the royal court in July and August, called the forest, to inspect this year's harvest, to inspect the school, to see if they can survive the winter smoothly, and if there is a shortage, they are ready to plunder. The reason why he took advantage of this time to patrol was to monitor the Xianbei people nearby, in case they suddenly offended.

"I got the news that the situation of the Xianbei people is good today." Xia Yu said in a deep voice, but there was no trace of a smile on his face.

Liu He listened to it and couldn't help but laugh softly: "My lord, this is a good thing." Xianbei people don't worry about winter, maybe they won't make a mistake on my side, and we can have a good life. ”

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, smiled silently, but did not answer, but turned his head and looked at Lu Min quietly. Lu Min pondered for a moment, glanced at Liu He with some embarrassment, and said in his heart that this Xia Yu is not just a martial artist, he invited me over, it turned out that he made me a villain.

Liu Xiu lowered his head, thinking the same as Lu Min, secretly scolding Xia Yu for being too insidious. If Xianbei people don't come to rob, it's a good thing for Liu Yu to assassinate him, but not necessarily for him, because he has no chance to make meritorious contributions. But he can't say such things, it must be said by someone else, and Lu Min is the person he fancies. Lu Min didn't say it, he wanted to offend Xia Yu, if he did, then he would offend Liu Yu, this is really not a person inside and out.
