To change Lu Min's previous temper, he may have changed his face and walked away when Xia Yu didn't go out to greet him, but now he can not mind Xia Yu's indifference and intentional or unintentional sarcasm, just a humble sentence that is neither humble nor arrogant, and then explained his intention to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu had already learned about this from Xian Yuyin, but he still listened to Lu Min say it again without moving, and then took the text of the Thorn History Department handed over by Liu He and looked at it, and then gently put it aside.

"The gentleman has such thoughts, which shows that he is different from those vulgar Confucians who only know the books of the sages, and I admire them. Hu Shi is outside the city, and if Mr. wants to see it, he can go to see it at any time. But there is one thing I would like to warn you sir beforehand. ”

Lu Min bowed down to be taught.

"Since it is Hu City, of course, Hu people are indispensable. The Hu people are barbarians and don't understand any sage books, so they won't have any humility towards Mr. like my Han people. They became barbaric, and it was common for them to draw swords and cut each other if they disagreed. Over here...... There is only a difference between strong and weak, if there is any dispute, you have to rely on the knife in your hand to speak, as long as you don't get involved with me, usually I don't come forward. Xia Yu glanced at Lu Min, picked the corners of his mouth again, and chuckled: "Of course, Mr. is not an ordinary person, in case they go too far, I can't ignore it, I just hope it's best not to make trouble to that point." ”

Lu Min frowned, and was silent for a moment: "Dare to ask your lordship, isn't this Hu City under the rule of your lord?" ”

"Of course under my rule." Xia Yu glanced at Liu He indifferently, paused, and said: "It's just that Lord Assassin Shi has an order to live in harmony with Hu Ren, act in accordance with the customs of both sides, and do not pick quarrels and provoke trouble." As I said just now, the custom of the Hu people is to respect the strong, and any disputes are generally not resolved by the government. ”

Lu Min sneered: "Isn't that a forcible robbery?" ”

"Sir, you're right." Xia Yu didn't think it was wrong, but showed a smile: "Hu people robbery is commonplace, when won't there be two or three cases in this Hu City?" Of course, I don't like this kind of barbarian customs, but my knowledge is limited, and I can't say any reason, let alone educate them, but not sir, if my husband has the heart to educate them and let them know some etiquette and morality, I can't ask for it. ”

As soon as he said a few words, the atmosphere that was originally reasonable suddenly became awkward. Lu Min was so angry that his face turned pale, but he was speechless, he was really under the low eaves, and he had to bow his head. Now on Xia Yu's territory, even if he is dissatisfied with Xia Yu, there is no way, not to mention that the order to be friendly to the Hu people is indeed given by Liu Yu, the assassin.

"Thank you for the reminder." Lu Min said with something in his words.

"Well said." Xia Yu waved his hand disapprovingly, ended the conversation with Lu Min, turned his head to look at Liu Xiu, who was sitting in the hall, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and finally showed a trace of kindness: "I heard that Mr. Lu's trip was out of a step-step proposal?" ”

"Don't dare." Liu Xiu hurriedly saluted. Lu Min was very angry with Xia Yu, but Liu He was silent beside him, obviously with the intention of watching jokes, but he couldn't watch this development continue. As soon as they arrived in Ningcheng, they fell out with Xia Yu, so how could they inspect Hu City, not to mention what the Hu people would do with them - he estimated that Xia Yu would not have the courage to instigate the Hu people to come to Lu Min's troubles - it was a very simple matter for his subordinates to make small moves, not to mention anything else, let you go to live in a tent outside the city, and the wind would blow all night was enough for you. Although it is still July and early autumn has just begun, the wind is cool enough at night.

For the sake of Lu Min, for his own sake, he has to try his best to turn this situation around. Xia Yu was talking to Lu Min just now, he couldn't interject, otherwise it would make people think that he was uneducated, and now that Xia Yu was talking to him, he had to seize this opportunity.

"Yes, Mr. is worried about state affairs, he wants to read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, experience the frontier, experience the hard work of the generals, and he is fortunate to accompany him to the end." He smiled and said: "Mr. heard that the Xianbei people invaded Shanggu every year, in order to avoid Zhuo County also being disturbed by the Xianbei people, so it was suggested that Zhuo County strengthen its defense, but the Zhuo County was opposed, saying that there was nothing to do at the border, there was no need to do anything more, and the money and food were wasted. ”

Xia Yu listened, let out an "oh", and then looked at Lu Min's expression and became much gentler. He has been in Shanggu for more than two years, and in the past two years, the Xianbei people have invaded every year, and he also has the intention to kill thieves, and he has no power to return to the sky, on the one hand, because of the peace policy of Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, he is not allowed to take the initiative to fight, on the other hand, most of the big clans in Shanggu have dealings with the Hu people, and they don't want to take the initiative to provoke trouble, so he can't move if he wants to, except for the hundreds of parts under him, the other soldiers don't listen to him at all.

He originally thought that Lu Min was a big clan in Zhuo County, probably similar to those local heroes in Shanggu, and he was a Confucian student, so he didn't treat him very well, and when he heard Liu Xiu say this, he knew that Lu Min and he had some sympathy for him, and they were both limited by those local heroes, and they couldn't do anything if they wanted to.

He heard Xian Yuyin say that in this line of people, Liu Xiu's opinion of his former master Duan Cheng is different from ordinary people, not only does he not despise Duan Cheng and the eunuch, but also gives a very high evaluation, calling Duan Cheng a hero and a famous general, which makes Xia Yu have a good impression before he sees Liu Xiu's face, and after meeting, Liu Xiu's first impression on him is also good, and now Liu Xiu defends Lu Min, and he sounds a little more naturally convinced.

"I don't know Mr. Gaoyi, Yu just misunderstood, and he said nothing, please Mr. Haihan." Xia Yu sat up straight and bowed solemnly.

Lu Min exhaled lightly, returned the salute, his face became much more relaxed, and then struck while the iron was hot, said some things he had seen and heard along the way, and asked Xia Yu about the situation of the Hu people on the grassland. Xia Yu saw that he was right, reasonable, and not the kind of travel, and he believed what Liu Xiu said, and expressed some of his own opinions very cautiously at the moment.

Lu Min listened very carefully, and interjected from time to time to ask a question or two. The guests and hosts had a good conversation, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

After talking for nearly an hour, it came to an end, Xia Yu's impression of Lu Min changed greatly, and he felt that although this Confucian had no actual combat experience, he had a very practical attitude and a lot of intentions, although he had some views on martial artists, but he was different from those vulgar Confucians, and his knowledge was far above ordinary people, so he couldn't help but have a little more respect. He kept Lu Min and the others for dinner, and asked them to arrange a place to live in the city, until nightfall, and then they broke up.

Lu Min was very satisfied, and in order to be able to mingle with a martial artist like Xia Yu, he deliberately drank some wine. Lu Min is as good at drinking as his father Lu Zhi, and he is known to be invincible, but when he arrived in Ningcheng, he drank the wine from the grassland, and those officers came up to toast one after another, and in the end he couldn't bear it, if it wasn't for Mao Yan and Liu Xiu and others, I was afraid that he would fall on the table today.

After returning to the arranged accommodation, Lu Min was still a little excited, he took Liu Xiu's arm and praised again and again: "Deran, if it weren't for your words, we might have really run away in Ningcheng this time." ”

Liu Xiu also drank a little high, regretting that he had underestimated the wine of this year, and he was dizzy after drinking too much. He said modestly: "Sir, in fact, I should thank Boyu, if he hadn't said good things for me in advance, I might not have had the opportunity to explain for Mr. at all." Of course, I didn't say anything empty words, these are all things that Mr. actually does, no matter who tells Lord Xia, it's the same. ”

Lu Min sighed: "I know that some people just want us to go home empty-handed. Fortunately...... Not everyone is like this, at least there are hot-blooded men like Xian Yu Boyu. ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Xiu squeezed his eyes playfully: "There are not only hot-blooded men, but also hot-blooded women." ”

Lu Min's face turned red, he took a sip of Liu Xiu, and scolded with a smile: "Look at you, just after a few glasses of wine, you started talking nonsense." ”
