Li Su and Lu Qing talked very well, and from each other's words, Li Su almost figured out the details of the other party. Lu Qing's gang is essentially pirates, but occasionally they will make cameo appearances as maritime merchants, such as this time, they brought a batch of silk from Guangzhou in the south, so it can be said that doing business is just their sideline. This is just the opposite of ordinary maritime merchants, who are now mainly engaged in business, and only occasionally make a cameo appearance as a pirate when they encounter a weaker party. From this point, it can also be seen that the current maritime trade is still in a very chaotic period.

When the sun was in the west, Li Su set up a dinner party to entertain Lu Qing and his group, and between eating and drinking, this relationship naturally became much closer, and it was not until it was dark that Li Su let them leave.

And just when Lu Qing and the others left, there was also a person at the side door of the Qi Wangfu, and as soon as this person came out, the small vendors who were setting up stalls in front of the door immediately greeted one after another: "Yo! Hello Mr. Lu! ”

The subordinates in the palace generally enter and exit from this side door, and everyone in Dengzhou knows that the Qi Wangfu is extremely kind to the subordinates, and they can get a lot of wages every month, and they are also generous, so they attract so many vendors to set up stalls at the gate of the palace.

"Well, okay, everyone's good!" The man, known as Mr. Lu, also nodded to the vendors, apparently familiar with everyone. Mr. Lu looked to be forty or fifty years old, not tall, long and thin, and wore a blue robe that was empty inside, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

"Mr. Lu, come and take a look, this hairpin is a new style just sent from Chang'an, how about you buy one for Aunt Hu?" A small vendor selling women's ornaments greeted him warmly.

This Mr. Lu listened. Smiled and walked up to take a look, found that the style was novel and unique, so he generously paid for it, and when he saw Mr. Lu paying for it, other vendors also greeted, this Mr. Lu made a generous move, as long as he thought it was appropriate. I would buy it, and after a while, I bought a big bag of things. It doesn't matter if the money on his body is spent, anyway, everyone here knows him and believes in his character. Therefore they were willing to give him credit.

After buying the things, Mr. Lu still had something to do, so he handed over the things he bought to a vendor and asked him to keep them for him, and then he would take them when he came back. Then, as usual, he went out penniless. These vendors also knew about Mr. Lu's habit, so they didn't feel any different.

After watching the other party's figure disappear into the night, an aunt-level trader shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity, Mr. Lu is such a good man." Married a woman like Aunt Tiger? Alas~"

"Hahaha~, sister-in-law of the Liu family, you have been widowed for many years, you won't be interested in Mr. Lu, right?" Hearing Widow Liu's sigh, a young vendor next to her laughed. Although this sister-in-law of the Liu family is not young, she is also neatly grown, so the male traders around her like to make jokes about her.

"Stinky boy, the old lady cares about your at every turn, looking at your thief eyebrows, do you want to beat the old lady's idea? I'm telling you. Don't move that toad's mind of wanting to eat swan meat...... "This widow Liu is not easy to mess with, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, she can work hard to bring up her son, relying on this pungent temper and that sharp mouth, so she counts the other party in a few strokes and embarrasses herself, and finally begs hard to let her do it."

Mr. Lu is Aunt Tiger's husband, and Li Su also felt extremely awkward when she saw their couple, because Aunt Tiger was very powerful on the day of Li Su's cave room, and she was on par with the famous Hercules Fang in Chang'an, so Li Su was very impressed by her, and Mr. Lu was also stained with his wife's light, and was also remembered by Li Su. However, the talent shown by this Mr. Lu later made everyone look at him with admiration.

Mr. Lu is literate and hyphenated, plus he is an important person who married Xiao Mansion, so he was arranged to work in the account room to manage the internal finances of the palace, at first several other accounts were still a little repulsed by him, but he was soon shocked by the talent shown by others, no matter how complicated the accounts, as long as they are in the hands of Mr. Lu, they can be sorted out clearly with a few glances, and they also write a handful of words, even Li Su is also greatly praised when he sees it.

After discovering Mr. Lu's talent, Li Su wanted to arrange for him to be an official in Cangcao, but Mr. Lu was unwilling, saying that he only wanted to follow the princess with his wife, and Li Su was not easy to force, so he had no choice but to give up.

Dengzhou City was originally the same as Chang'an, there was a night curfew, Li Su was very dissatisfied with Chang'an's night ban from the beginning, after all, as a modern person, night life is a very important part. It's a pity that he didn't say it at the time, and there are many reasons for the night ban in Chang'an, which is not something he can control, so he can only endure it silently, but after coming to Dengzhou, it is different, here he has the final say, so it was only three days after he came, and the night ban was canceled, of course, he did not forget to increase the manpower of public security.

After Mr. Lu left the palace, he walked according to the usual route at first, looked at the lively street markets around him, and smiled from time to time to say hello to familiar people, but when he walked to a small alley, taking advantage of the few people around, he turned around and entered the alley, and then knocked on a corner door in the alley, and the people inside opened the door and looked at it, and immediately welcomed Mr. Lu in, and then was led to the study in the house, where there were already three people waiting for him.

"Big brother, you're finally here!" As soon as the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar at the head of the inside saw Mr. Lu, he immediately greeted him with a happy face, and the strong man and bald head behind him also showed a smiling face. These three people are Lu Qing's group who had just left Li Su.

"Hehe, second brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but you don't seem to have changed much." Mr. Lu patted Lu Qing's shoulder and said with a smile, his real name is Lu Hong, and he is a brother to Lu Qing.

"Brother-in-law! Hehe~" The strong man in the back called Lu Hong flatteringly, and then smirked, not knowing what to say? This strong man is Aunt Tiger's younger brother, named Hu Li, and like his sister, he is also an invincible figure. As for the bald head, he stepped forward and saluted: "Subordinates, see your lord!" ”

Hearing the bald head, Lu Hong waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Zhou Long, we have all come to this point, where are there any adults?" You can call me Mr. Lu from now on. ”

"Yes, Mr. Lu!" The bald Zhou Long bowed down and said, then stood up and stopped talking, obviously an extremely taciturn person.

"Big brother, we have been separated for several years, and today we can finally meet again, I have already met my sister-in-law today, but Mrs. and Miss are okay?" Lu Qing saw that the eldest brother and the two brothers had finished greeting, so he asked impatiently, and Hu Li and Zhou Long also looked concerned.

"Well, Madame is very good in Chang'an, as for Miss, she is now the Princess of Qi, with the identity and talent of His Royal Highness King Qi, it is a match made in heaven with Miss." Lu Qing nodded and said, at first, he was also a little repulsed by his wife and Song Guogong's decision, but since he entered the Qi Palace, whether it was listening to other people's words or his own personal experience, his impression of Li Su has changed greatly, and as for the thorn in his heart, it has disappeared unconsciously.

Hearing Lu Hong mention the words 'Princess Qi', Hu Li was furious, remembering that the lord's revenge had not been avenged, but the young lady married the grandson of the enemy, which made him even more angry, and snorted coldly: "What bullshit King Qi, Madame must have been forced by Xiao Yu, otherwise she would never have married the young lady to their Li family, after all, the lord was ...... back then."

"Evil tiger, don't be presumptuous!" Lu Qing snapped and interrupted Hu Li's words. The Evil Tiger is the nickname of Tiger Power, and if people in the southern regions hear this name, it will definitely make people tremble all over their bodies.

Lu Hong's face also sank, and he glared at the brother-in-law of the evil tiger fiercely and said: "Lord Guogong is the great benefactor of Mrs. and Miss, Evil Tiger, you dare to be disrespectful to him again, be careful that I let your sister clean you up!" As soon as Aunt Tiger was mentioned, the evil tiger guy immediately became honest, what he was most afraid of was his sister, so he retreated and stood with Zhou Long, and never dared to speak out again.

"Big brother, the evil tiger is just a straight man, don't blame him, but I can't figure it out, why would Madame marry the young lady to King Qi?" Lu Qing first excused the evil tiger for a few words, and then asked, he couldn't figure out this question either, after all, they and the Li family were blood feuds, and it was not so easy to resolve them.

"Alas~, second brother, how do you view the Tang Dynasty?" Lu Hong sighed, turned around and asked Lu Qing in the north.

"This ......" Hearing his brother's question, Lu Qing's face also became very ugly, and finally he said very depressedly, "Brother Qiqi, now the Tang Dynasty is rich and strong, and it has become a prosperous age!" ”

"Well, it's good that you can see the situation." Lu Hong turned his back to everyone, his face was cloudy and uncertain under the light of the candle flame, "Now that the Tang Dynasty has been solidified, it is difficult to shake it to ascend to the sky, plus the death of the lord back then, except for the young lady, there is no blood left at all, so the restoration of the country has become empty talk." ”

When he said this, Lu Hong paused for a moment, and after a while he continued: "The reason why Madame agreed to marry Miss to King Qi is that there are three main reasons, one is that Madame is extremely smart and has already seen the general trend of the world clearly, plus she is a weak woman, if she is obsessed with hatred, not only will she harm herself, but even Miss will be implicated, so with great wisdom and courage, we will let go of our hatred with the Li family." Second, it is also for our subordinates, after all, the world has long belonged to the Li family, and Madame doesn't want us to make senseless resistance, nor does she want us to bury them, so she wants to use the marriage between Miss and King Qi to recommend us to King Qi. ”

"And, last but not least, one of the most important reasons." Speaking of this, Lu Hong also showed a loving smile on his face. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
