Chapter Ninety-Eight: Old and Not Dead

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he saw that it was getting late, and immediately said that he still had to prepare for the martial arts competition and the opening of the supermarket the day after tomorrow, and insisted on retiring first.

Unlike Li Jingqian, who was ignorant of the world, Li Yu knew that his father and second emperor uncle were extremely concerned about the forbidden army competition, and immediately stood on Lin Feng's side and asked to go back quickly.

Li Jingqian had no choice but to order the carriage to go back. However, Li Jingqian, who was unwilling, kept muttering in the carriage until he heard Lin Feng and Li Yu discuss the opening of the supermarket, and he suddenly woke up.

Li Jingqian grabbed Lin Feng and asked thoughtlessly, "What is the opening content?" ”

Lin Feng also happened to want to borrow the social activity power of this royal teenager, and immediately pretended to be mysterious and said: "A supermarket opening ceremony that includes top music, dance, poetry, auctions and catwalks, novel and fun, and all-encompassing!" ”

Then, no matter how Li Jingqian coerced and tempted, Lin Feng did not reveal the specific content of a word, but Li Yu, who had been watching jokes on the sidelines, reminded his third uncle after reminding: "Uncle, just by looking at Mr. Lin's poems, you can imagine the excitement of this grand ceremony!" ”

Li Jingqian had no choice but to sit down stupidly, and said fiercely: "I will mobilize all my friends to participate in the event, if it is not good-looking, we will definitely shout the lottery!" ”

Lin Feng smiled: "Then the King of Chu is welcome to criticize and correct at that time." ”

When the carriage passed by a Jinling branch of Jueweifang, Li Jingqian immediately ordered it to stop and dragged the two of them to have dinner here.

Lin Feng knew that there had never been a good banquet, and it would be difficult to leave as soon as he entered the banquet, so he immediately said goodbye, and regardless of the dissuasion of the two, he set off directly and walked towards his home.

Lin Feng walked around a few neighborhoods quickly, and suddenly, a shouting voice came into Lin Feng's ears: "You old immortal, you are willing to gamble and lose!" You gamble and lose money but beat people, and you are still unreasonable? ”

"I'm being unreasonable? My ancestor is Lu Zhao, who was born in a scholarly family, would I be unreasonable? It's clear that you colluded to cheat and caused me to lose money! An old but funny voice shouted.

Lu Zhao? Could it be Lu Zhao, the first champion in the history of Jiangxi? His descendant, could it be the famous Lu Jiang? Lin Feng's heart moved, he stopped, looked at the crowd, and found that an old man with gray hair was surrounded by several idlers, and several people pushed and shoved each other.

"The surname Lu must be the descendant of Lu Zhao? My surname is Liu, and my ancestor is still Han Gaozu! Less nonsense, old and immortal thief, hand over the money you robbed, or we will be welcome! A wicked man in an open shirt grabbed the old man's chest and made a gesture to beat him.

"Stop!" Lin Feng snorted, stepped forward, pushed aside the crowd, walked to the old man's side, stared at the evil man's hand, and asked sharply, "Why are you making a noise?" ”

Lin Feng was shouted from a drunken dream by Li Jingqian and the others, and he was still wearing the military uniform of Captain Zhaowu in the morning. When the wicked man saw an officer, his heart immediately felt a little weak, and his hand slowly retracted.

"This military master, this old thief gambled with us, lost money but didn't admit it, robbed all the money, and beat my brother." The wicked man pointed to a young man next to him who was still bleeding from the swollen corners of his mouth.

Lin Feng looked at the young man's injuries, and then looked at the old man's thin but bruised hands, knowing that this old man must have practiced and had the strength to do it, but I am afraid that it is also because of this that this group of evil men only dare to shout, but it does not rain when it thunders, and they dare not make a move.

Lin Feng looked at the table behind a few people, there were three bowls and six dice, thinking that it was almost the kind of trick to cheat money that was common in later generations, but at this time, Lin Feng didn't want to talk nonsense with these people, and shouted directly: "You guys are gambling on the street, you should have arrested all the officials, but this officer has important things to do, so I will give you a way out, and both sides must no longer be entangled, so let's disperse!" ”

The evil man looked at the old man, this old thing was ruthless just now, he was not a master to mess with, he looked at Lin Feng's bright military uniform and the posture of being ready to do it at any time, and felt that it was better to get off the donkey down the slope, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "The little one will give this military master a face, let's go!" ”

Lin Feng watched the people walk away, turned to the old man and said, "May I ask what the old gentleman is called?" ”

The old man seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lin Feng for letting those people go, and snorted and said, "Fortunately, you stopped early, otherwise, the old man would have to beat these boys all over the place." My name is Lu Jiang. ”

Lin Feng immediately asked in surprise: "When my uncle mentioned Lu Zhao just now, did he mean Lu Zhao, the first champion in Jiangxi?" Lu Zhao is also a celebrity in history, and during the Tang Dynasty, he successively made assassination history in Shezhou, Xuanzhou, Chizhou, and Jizhou. Lu Zhao was quite famous everywhere he went, and although he was a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Li Deyu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he did not intervene in the "Niu Li Party Dispute" at that time after joining the office, so his official reputation was very good.

A trace of shame flashed on the old man's face, but he quickly returned to normal: "That's in the lower great-ancestor." The great-grandfather was the champion in the third year of Tang Huichang (843 AD) and when he was 25 years old. ”

That's right, the person in front of you is the famous stubborn donkey in the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty - Lu Jiang. It is reported that after Li Yu led his ministers to surrender to the Northern Song Dynasty in Jinling City, Lu Jiang was the only one left to stick to Shezhou and not surrender. Song Taizu reprimanded: "Your masters have already surrendered, what else do you not accept?" Lu Jiang replied loudly: "I only know that my lord is the Li family, who knows what your surname is Zhao?" The result can be imagined, this stubborn old man was pushed out by Song Taizu and cut down.

Lin Feng looked at the shabby clothes on Lu Jiang's body, and quickly reviewed Lu Jiang's information in his mind. In my impression, I remembered that Lu Jiang had been a small official in the north, and he fled to Jinling because of what case, but fortunately he met the privy envoy Chen Qiao before he began to change opportunities, and he was the most successful to make a high position, and Chen Qiao has not yet taken the position.

According to history, Lu Jiang was familiar with military books since he was a child, especially in water warfare, and once guarded the Qinhuai water gate, and won many battles when he fought against the Zhou army in the south. It is precisely because of his loyalty to the country and his good at war that historians speak highly of him: "Lu Jiang Xianke has an end, and he is a little vertical, stubborn and unyielding, and there are enough people to take." This means that although Lu Jiang has no longevity and has not insisted on doing a few decent things in his life, he is still very talented, and he is tenacious and unyielding in the face of strong enemies, which is also very desirable.

Lin Feng made up his mind, and immediately bowed down to Lu Jiang and said, "Mr. Lu, in Xia Lin Fenglin, you are very good, can you ask the old man and Lin to go back to the house?" ”

"Lin Feng? Could it be that Lin Feng, the doctor who is crazy in the market and advocates change and is brilliant in poetry? Lu Jiang was taken aback, looked at the military uniform on Lin Feng's body, and couldn't believe it.

Lin Feng smiled, it seemed that Lu Jiang didn't know that Lu Dao was still holding the position of a military officer of Zhaowu Lieutenant, he gave a deep salute again, and said: "Mr. Lu, isn't it Lin Feng, if it is fake, Mr. Lin can follow Lin to go back to the house and see if it is true or false." ”

Lu Jiang muttered, "Then go and have a look." "Follow Lin Feng and walk north.

Lin Feng was very complacent in his heart, and he didn't expect to walk a few steps casually, and he met a great talent. He deliberately approached, and quickly learned some information about him from Lu Jiang's mouth.

Lu Jiang was born in 891 A.D. and is 59 years old this year; His word Jinqing, a native of Yichun, Jiangxi; Because he doesn't like to study hard, he has failed to pass the Jinshi examination several times, and has served as a transportation clerk in Jizhou for a period of time, and because of good gambling, he actually stole treasury gold, and was found out before he was exiled to Jinling. Of course, in Lu Jiang's mouth, he repeatedly failed because the examiner was greedy for money and bribes, and he went into exile in Jinling because he was killed by a colleague's traitor.

Hearing Lu Jiang say this, the impression in Lin Feng's mind began to become clear, this Lu Jiang is also an interesting person in history. Since childhood, he has been fond of soldiers, and he likes to play a corner, "reading to understand the main purpose", that is to say, he only wants to understand a general meaning, and he is unwilling to study hard. The family "hated that iron does not make steel" and sent him to study in other places. He used to study in Bailu Cave in Lushan, but because he didn't want to study, he was "expelled because he was a butcher".

So far, there is still a saying in the Fenyi area of Jiangxi: in one night, destroy a furnace (Lu) and make a bell. This sentence refers to the fact that after Lu Jiang was killed by Song Taizu, he was going to punish his three clans, but his three sons all escaped smoothly, survived, and lived in Jianhu anonymously, and changed his surname to his grandmother's surname, that is, the surname Zhong.

After talking all the way, Lu Jiang also took off his guard, and began to believe that he had inadvertently bumped into great luck, and he met the most popular court celebrity today, and the two quickly became acquainted and close.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Lin Feng found that Yaya was looking around at the door. Seeing Lin Feng, Yaya immediately jumped over, holding a small note in her hand, telling Lin Feng that not long after he left, a guard from King Zheng's Mansion came to the house, and left in a hurry after leaving this note.

Lin Feng instructed Yaya to take Lu Jiang to take a bath, and then placed him in the guest room, and when he went to a no-man's land, he opened the note and found that there were only two words: "Painted." It was Zhao Chengyu's handwriting.

Lin Feng crumpled the note into a ball, stuffed it into his arms, and went straight to the main hall, as early as after entering the entrance, he had already heard faint music coming from the main hall.
