The Lu clan immediately held an urgent consultation with Wang Zhi, after the death of the department master Zhang Heng, Wang Zhi and several other disciples with the highest rank were already the Lu clan's greatest support, and Wang Zhi was by Liu Xiu's side, and his relationship with Liu Xiu was very close, and his opinions were more effective than the opinions of several other disciples.

Wang Zhi was very worried, and he said to the Lu clan that Liu Xiu wanted not to be a disciple of the Daomen, but a person who was proficient in the techniques of the hundred schools, which was closer to the children of the Mo family. The Mo family used to be a prominent sect, but since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, under the unsparing blow of the court, the Mo family has declined, and the remnants of the sect are hidden among the people, but they have not died out.

There are also such people in the Daomen, and the Five Elements Technique that Liu Xiu practiced is marked with the name of Mozi, which is likely to be a treasure left by the Mo family. The Mo family is famous for their skilled craftsmen, and it makes more sense that they have such treasures.

Wang Zhi was not worried that involving Momen would bring trouble, but he was afraid that the confusion in his mind would bring division to the Heavenly Master Dao. The people in the Taoist sect believe in Lao Tzu, pay attention to humility and self-restraint, live in seclusion, do not ask about mundane things, do not compete and compete, and Liu Xiu needs to be higher and stronger, his thought is exactly the opposite of Taoist thought.

If they accept Liu Xiu's condition, how will they explain it to the believers when they preach morality in the future? Is the Dao Gate still the Dao Gate, isn't that the Mo Gate wearing a Dao Gate skin?

This is also the problem that Lu is worried about.

The two found Liu Xiu again and explained their worries. Liu Xiu asked them rhetorically, that is the reason why your Taoism lost to Confucianism. This world is a world where the weak eat the strong, you just want to abolish your martial arts, if you don't die, who will die? Wang Zhi, what kind of swordsmanship do you practice every day, just go to the mountains and find a cave and seal yourself up to practice turtle breath.

Lu said, Lao Tzu said, because it is indisputable, so the world should not fight with it. Zhuangzi said that big trees are cut down because they are useful, and crooked neck trees live for thousands of years because they are useless. Without waiting for her to finish, Liu Xiu retorted directly, I tell you very clearly now, if you are useless to me, I will destroy you first. If you are useful to me, I will support you, and we will develop together, understand?

Lu Shi was completely dumbfounded.

Seeing their angry and anxious appearances, Liu Xiu was angry and funny, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Lu: "In this way, if you want to turn the corner all of a sudden, I don't think it's possible." I now need a large number of skilled craftsmen, especially those who know how to heal, blacksmiths who make weapons, and people who have experience in planting fruit trees, you can find me more, we will put aside the differences in ideology for the time being, anyway, in the preaching to the common people, our attitude is the same, as for the scholars, there is still time, we will discuss it slowly.

Lu Shi was relieved when she heard him, she was relieved, she was afraid that Liu Xiu would regret it, so she immediately arranged for someone to prepare, and urgently transferred capable people from Heming Mountain to set up Jinglu and Zhizhi in Bingzhou. Two days later, more than 500 Heavenly Master Taoist believers from Longxi, Beidi, and Xihe arrived, they were all strong men with a certain ability to ride and shoot, Liu Xiu was very satisfied after a simple test, and allocated them all to Zhang Fei, and at the same time appointed Zhang Xiu, a small Taoist priest who came from Luoyang to hear the news, as the Marquis of Junqu, to assist Zhang Fei in managing these guards mainly by Taoists.

Liu Xiu then rushed to Manbo with a large army, and the Marquis of Gudu accompanied him with his troops.

……

When Helian listened to the words brought back by Adella, he was not very clear, but after seeing the words written by Liu Xiu, he understood everything, and the white face of the grassland people was not the same, he suddenly turned red with anger, he gritted his teeth, squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and said with a cruel smile: "Just a little divisive, just want to lie to me?" He also underestimated us people on the steppe too much, thinking that we were all barbarians who didn't understand anything. ”

Adella looked at He Lian carefully, she was too familiar with He Lian, Liu Xiu's words obviously provoked He Lian's heart thorn, and He Lian would show such an expression, as for what he said, he was just afraid of being listened to - he was always suspicious that someone was spying on him, so what he was thinking in his heart, he rarely said it on his lips, even if he said it to her, and only what he said in his ear was truly credible.

But it seemed like he hadn't been talking to her that much in a long time.

"The wind and snow are still in the big city?" And Lian tilted his head and asked Adella.

At the mention of Fengxue, Adele's eyes were red, she didn't remember Fengxue's intercession for her, only that when she was toyed with by countless Han soldiers in the baggage camp, Fengxue was dressed like a princess, and brought a few Han army guards to the baggage camp to see her.

"Of course she is in Dacheng, she just wants to go to Dacheng, if she hadn't told her, how would the Han people know our whereabouts."

"She's snitching?" He Lian was very surprised, and his slender eyebrows were raised.

"Who else is she not? After the Han people kidnapped us, the Han man named Liu Xiu hugged her all the way, she had never been a prisoner for a day, and she ran around like a mistress all day long, making love to the damn Han people...... Bad woman who makes me blush, stinky and shameless. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Helian's face darkened, and a green tendon beat in the corner of his eye.

"Not really." Adella was indignant, and then accused Feng Xue of his crimes, since she regarded Feng Xue as a traitor at the beginning, then naturally any suspicious place became evidence, and even the iron wolf became Liu Xiu's bodyguard and participated in all Liu Xiu's battles.

He Lian couldn't hold back any longer, tore Liu Xiu's letter to shreds, and threw them all into the fire. "I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill her, I'm going to destroy the entire Minotor tribe."

"You're going to kill the Wind Crack?" Adella was taken aback: "The king and Murong are both good friends. ”

"Murong Feng? Hum. He laughed twice, suddenly fell silent, did not say a word more, sat there alone and pondered, did not move for a long time, only the white and black eyes moved from time to time.

Adella didn't dare to move, whenever Helian had this kind of look, he was a very aggressive beast, and if he offended him, he was likely to be attacked with extreme cruelty. She didn't have such worries before, but now she didn't dare to guarantee that Helian would take her so seriously.

……

Liu Xiu arrived at Manbo, and Qiangqu, who had already received the news, went out fifty miles, as soon as he saw Liu Xiu, he accompanied him to greet him, Liu Xiu grinned: "King Youxian, you are so self-conscious, we are desperately fighting with the Xianbei people, and you are hiding alone in Manbo to enjoy Qingfu." ”

Qiang Qu was very embarrassed, and glanced at the Dangyu Guduhou behind Liu Xiu, "My lord laughed, I was out of time, and I couldn't witness the adult breaking the Xianbei people again." Look at the Marquis of the bones, I am envious. ”

When Yu Guduhou patted the thirty Qinggang ring knife on his waist, he said with some smugness: "Don't be envious of King Youxian, I actually didn't have time to participate in the battle, and when I arrived in Shuofang City, the adults had already defeated the Xianbei people." Although I sent 2,000 people to follow the adults to fight Duan Song, it was a pity that I just watched from the side, the adults' Changshui camp was too brave, 5,000 broke 10,000, it was unimaginably easy, and I didn't have any credit at all. But the adults were generous, not only sharing my spoils, but also thanking me for a sword. ”

He showed it to the others ostentatiously: "See, the authentic Han refined thirty swords." ”

Qiang Qu scolded secretly, no longer paying attention to this somewhat flattered Dang Gudu Hou, grabbed Liu Xiu's horse reins one step forward, bowed down and said to Liu Xiu: "Your Excellency, please, I heard that your Excellency is coming, I have already cleaned Manbo City, and I am waiting for your lordship." ”

"Then there is King Laoyouxian." Liu Xiu did not shirk either, and entered Manbo City side by side with King Youxian.

This is Liu Xiu's second time to Manbo City, he also lived in the courtyard where he lived last time, the Huns all live outside the city, first, they are used to living in tents, and secondly, Manbo is the garrison camp of the Duliao camp, without the call of General Duliao, they can't enter the Manbo City casually, not even fifty miles nearby. This time, he was ordered to fight with Liu Xiu, so that he could be stationed outside Manbo City.

As soon as Liu Xiu settled, he immediately asked King Youxian and the officials left behind in the Duliao camp about the battle on the front line. Jiuyuan City is still fighting fiercely, but the Xianbei people have no means to attack the city, and the morale in Jiuyuan City is strong, so far, there is no hope of breaking the city. The battle in the clouds was fierce, but Murong Feng seemed to be invincible, Tian Yan won both the battles of Wujin and Chengle, and now Murong Feng has been driven to the north of the barren dry water.

Hao Zhao quickly marked the location of the two sides on the map, and Liu Xiu looked at the map, not knowing whether he was happy or worried. If Murong Feng is really invincible, then of course it is better, the battle has reached this point, Murong Feng has already been driven to Yunzhong County. But what if he lured the enemy deeper? That Tian Yan is very dangerous now. The Xianbei people are mainly cavalry, and one or two hundred miles is not a problem for them, but there are a large number of foot baggage soldiers among the men and horses led by Tian Yan and Shan Yu, and Tian Yan pursues so fast that it is likely that he has already distanced himself from the baggage soldiers, leaving room for the Xianbei people to sneak attack.

It stands to reason that now that he sees the problem, he should remind Tian Yan or step forward to make up for the defense and protect Tian Yan's left flank, at least so that Murong Feng can't easily attack Tian Yan's baggage camp. But when he thought of Tian Yan's temper, he was very worried that if Murong Feng didn't come, he would instead have a bad relationship with Tian Yan.

He hesitated until he finished dinner, still weighing the matter. Feng Xue saw that his thick eyebrows were tightly locked and it was difficult to decide, and he couldn't bear it, and finally said to him, "That Lord Tian is definitely not Uncle Murong's opponent, you better go and save him, or it will be too late." Uncle Murong fights like you, either you don't do it, or if you do it, it will be a fatal blow, and you will not show mercy. ”

"Really?" Liu Xiu subconsciously asked, and made a decision in a moment. He immediately stood up, first summoned a few Simas to have a meeting, and ordered to rest overnight in Mambo today, and set off immediately tomorrow, so that everyone was ready for battle, while Xu Huang and Lu Bu set off immediately, and then worked alone for a while, and the whole person relaxed, as if he had put down all the burdens, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Fengxue, if you resolve Murong Feng's layout this time, you will be the first to do it."

Feng Xue smiled, but she smiled very ugly, and she didn't dare to look at Liu Xiu's eyes, so she sat alone for a long time, "I betrayed Uncle Murong like this, he must be very angry when he knows it." ”

Liu Xiu smiled dumbly, he reached over and pinched Fengxue's nose and shook it: "Silly girl, do you really not know the characteristics of Murong Feng's use of soldiers?" If you don't say it, I'll do the same, it's just that your words make me less worried. Seeing that Feng Xue didn't believe it, he rolled his eyes, and then put on the posture of a magic stick, condensed the virtual fire light on his fingertips, pretended to recite a few incantations, and said in a solemn and sacred voice: "I am the messenger of light, penetrating all things in the world, and a mere Murong Feng is not enough to worry about." ”

"Flutter!" Feng Xue couldn't help laughing, then put away his smile again, and prayed: "Allah, forgive this sinner who does not believe in Allah." ”

Liu Xiu looked at it and let go of his hand in frustration, this had just jumped out of the pit of guilt for family affection, and fell into the pit of guilt for the gods, it was really boring. He pulled Fengxue over, made a look of urgency, and said with teeth and claws: "Little beauty, this is our Han Dynasty, I still come to teach you the favorite things of the gods of the Han Dynasty, and I guarantee that you will not miss it......"

Feng Xue struggled while smiling, "What do you mean by not thinking about it?" ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Adou was not born yet, and the famous saying that he was happy to think about Shu had not yet appeared. But this doesn't bother him, anyway, Fengxue doesn't know so much. "Happiness means that you don't want to go home when you enjoy it, just like Mrs. Lu, who is so happy that you don't want to go back to Shu, this is called being happy."

"My lord, what can make me happy?" Lu's voice appeared at the door, as soon as he saw Liu Xiu and Fengxue hugging each other and playing together, Liu Xiu's hands were still very dishonest, Lu was stunned, and two red glows suddenly flew on Bai Chen's face, and hurriedly retreated, standing at the foot of the steps outside the door, and said in a loud voice: "Concubine is reckless, please forgive me." ”

Feng Xue was ashamed, broke free of Liu Xiu's hand, got up and ran in a hurry. Liu Xiu's face was also flushed, but after all, he was not as tender as Fengxue, so he tidied up a little, stood up and opened the door: "Madam, please come in." ”

The flush on Lu's face had not yet faded, she entered the door and sat down, still a little unsure where to start. Liu Xiu was natural, took tea from the fire pond, poured a cup for the Lu family, and poured another cup for himself, and then asked, "Madame came to me, what's the matter?" ”

Lu Shi was a little unnatural at first, but quickly calmed down, she said to Liu Xiu, she had thought about Liu Xiu's words for a long time, and felt that she still couldn't find a suitable reason to turn this corner, and she always wanted to come to Liu Xiu to ask for advice, and she didn't need to be in such a hurry, but she just heard Wang Zhi say that Liu Xiu was going to go on the expedition tomorrow and leave Manbo.

"As soon as the adults set out on the expedition, I don't know how many days it will take, and the concubine is afraid that the delay will be too long, so I hurried here, but I didn't expect it...... It's rude. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm messing around with that girl." Liu Xiu did have some regrets, but it wasn't that serious. He subconsciously twisted his fingertips, thinking about Lu's question, thinking about how to untie this dead knot, but he didn't notice that his hand was the hand that was about to sneak attack Fengxue's chest just now. Lu Shi saw it in his eyes, and somehow, he blushed again, and hurriedly lowered his head and covered his face with tea.

"What's wrong with ma'am?" Liu Xiu asked inexplicably: "The fire is big, hot?" ”

"Huh? Ah, it's a little hot. Lu had no choice but to follow his words.

Lu Bu and the others usually take off their big hats as soon as they enter Liu Xiu's house, especially Lu Bu, who also likes to take off their outer robes to expose their strong chest muscles inside. Liu Xiu was also used to it, thinking about Lu's problem at the moment, he didn't think too much, and said casually: "There are no outsiders here, you can take off your clothes outside." ”

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said "ah", Liu Xiu was startled, and then he reacted, and hurriedly said, "I mean you...... You can take off the big one, take off the big one. Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, madam. ”

Lu Shi was embarrassed, so he had to take off the big coat and fold it aside. She wore a Shu brocade coat with five blessings and branches of grapes in the big red ground, with a knife-shaped swallowtail, and the lace was on her chest, and the close-fitting cut set off her slightly plump figure well. Because of her kneeling, when she bowed her head in thanks, the collar opened slightly, revealing a small piece of white neck.

Lu's neck is very good-looking, slender and straight, and two collarbones are looming. may be because she has breastfed two children, her breasts are very plump, but after long-term practice, she has remained firm and does not have any tendency to sag, which is very in line with Liu Xiu's aesthetics.

Liu Xiu saw a lot of beauties without clothes in his previous life, and after arriving in this life, except for the time when he saw Wang Chu's back, he rarely felt amazing at any other time, even if he entered the palace, he rarely felt amazing, on the one hand, he had too much experience and aesthetic fatigue, and on the other hand, it was also related to the difference in the aesthetics of modern people, for example, he didn't like the very exaggerated makeup of women now. Two blushes and a little lip, in his opinion, has nothing to do with beauty, on the contrary, a woman who does not wear makeup is more durable.

Wang Chu rarely wears makeup, she is naturally beautiful, and she is a hibiscus. Lu Shi also rarely wears makeup, she is a cultivator, and she doesn't care about the beauty and ugliness outside. Her beauty is the kind of aura brought about by long-term cultivation, and there may be a subtle improvement in her physique.

The usual Lu family is very bland, it seems that there is a fairy aura that does not eat fireworks in the world, high up, which makes people feel a little solemn, at this moment her cheeks are crimson, and the fairy has fallen into the red dust, not only can be watched from a distance, but also can be played up close, that kind of natural shyness makes Liu Xiu's heart moved.

"This ......" Liu Xiu licked his lips, feeling a little dry, and hurriedly picked up the tea and took a sip, and found a topic by the way: "Madam, how is the sales of Shuzhong tea?" ”

"It's fine." Lu Shi raised his hand, gently covered his heart, and followed Liu Xiu's words: "Over the years, more and more people have been drinking tea, but the profit is thin, not many people are willing to do it, and most of them are still used by Shuzhong people." She slowly regained her composure and continued, "Drinking alcohol is not conducive to meditation, so people in the Taoist sect often drink tea, and they like to drink pure tea. ”

She said that the meaning of clean tea is tea without other condiments, there are also people in Luoyang who drink tea, but when they drink tea, they have to add ginger, salt and other ingredients, which is very different from the drinking method of later generations, Liu Xiu is very unaccustomed to it, for this kind of clean tea brought by Lu's family, he barely found a few cups of tea in his previous life, and stole the taste of floating life.

The two of them slowly regained their composure, and their tone gradually relaxed, and Lu Shi spoke of her worries again. Liu Xiu thought for a while and already had some answers. He said, I remember that the Book of Changes says, one yin and one yang is the way, Lao Tzu's Tao seems to talk about softness, but it is not all soft, he said not to fight, but the purpose is that the world can not fight with it. If we only talk about suppleness and inferiority, is it biased to only talk about yin and not yang? Tianxingjian, the gentleman is self-improving, the terrain is kun, and the gentleman is virtuous. Let's just say that the secret art in the room, which you believe to be the highest secret art, also needs a man and a woman, and there is no such thing as only women and no men.

Speaking of this, Liu Xiu was a little embarrassed, but Lu Shi was very calm, she quietly listened to Liu Xiu's analysis, and nodded in agreement or argued a sentence or two from time to time. Finally, she suddenly raised a question: "My lord, what are you talking about the state religion...... What is the meaning? ”

"The state religion is, like Confucianism, to become the way that dominates the thinking of scholars throughout the country." Liu Xiu said cautiously: "I think that at the beginning, when the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty was first born, wasn't Huang Laodao the governing purpose? ”

"This ...... Is it possible? "Lu Shi is a little less confident.

"Maybe, but you have to turn some of Huang Laodao's misconceptions around first." Liu Xiu coughed, "Huang Lao once dominated the Han Dynasty for seventy years, and finally lost to Confucianism, there is some truth in this. Madam, politics changes with the times, which is called Ying Tianshun people, and the law is natural. ”

Lu Shi frowned, she was a woman, she had never thought of such a great cause as turning the Heavenly Master Dao into a state religion, she just wanted to be able to keep this inheritance after her husband Zhang Heng died, so that her son Zhang Lu could inherit the Heavenly Master Dao smoothly. If Zhang Heng was still there, he would definitely be very interested in Liu Xiu's words, but for her, this task was obviously too heavy.

What Liu Xiu gave her was more than she hoped to get, but it made her a little hesitant, for fear that she couldn't afford it.

"Madam, that's for later, and now you'd better think about preaching in Bingzhou." After Liu Xiu listened to Lu's worries, he comforted and said: "If you want to open up the situation in Bingzhou, you can't do it without ten years." By that time, your son Zhang Lu will already be an adult, and there may be no need for you to run around at all. ”

Lu Shi was relieved.

"By the way, I heard that Mrs. is good at divination, I don't know if you can do a divination for me?"

"Suspicious?" Lu Shi let go of the burden in his heart, his expression became relaxed, and he said to Liu Xiu in a joking tone: "I heard that adults are resourceful and decisive, and they are decisive, and they usually don't believe in Taoism, so how can there be things that can't be solved and ask God to ask for divination." ”

"Who can doubt life?" Liu Xiu smiled, "You can help me test and see what my future is in Bingzhou." ”

Lu Shi nodded, took out a few polished copper coins, fiddled with them a few times, and scattered them on the case. She looked at it for a moment, pinched her fingers and calculated a few times, and raised her eyebrows: "Congratulations, my lord, the diving fish is in the abyss, the weathered dragon, Yuan Henry Zhen, Daji, my lord will definitely be able to win and succeed!" ”

Liu Xiu laughed: "Borrowing Mrs. Jiyan, if this is the case, I will definitely live up to Mrs. ”

Lu Shi shook his head: "My lord, do you really understand what I mean?" ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, he was just joking, where would he take it seriously, and now seeing that Lu Shi was serious, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. "Madame...... What does that mean exactly? ”

(To be continued)
