In the camp of the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace, the tea on the table has been changed three times, and the latest tea has been put cold, and a young man in his twenties is slowly pacing in the barracks.

This person's name is Lu Tianhao, he is the fourth generation of the Lu family, with a slender figure, handsome appearance, outstanding talent, and a calm personality, and is the leader of the younger generation of the Lu family, and was sent to contact Xu Rui.

However, he waited for two days in the camp of Gonghe Mansion and failed to see Xu Rui, an "approachable" Qincha, and Lu Tianhao, who was good at cultivating qi, couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"When will your family come back?"

Seeing that the soldiers came to change the water for him again, Lu Tianhao, who couldn't bear it, asked again.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked towards the door of the barracks, Lu Tianhao was slightly stunned, and also looked at his gaze.

"Hahaha, let Lu Gongzi wait for a long time, Xu is not well entertained, not well entertained."

A hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the tent, and then Xu Rui, who was dressed in a white robe, lifted the door curtain and walked in.

Lu Tianhao fixed his eyes and saw that the person who came was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a tall figure, although there was a little tired between his eyebrows, but the warm smile made him look quite imposing, and the meaning of abundance and handsomeness was that he was a son of a family, and he was slightly inferior in temperament.

"In Xia Lu Tianhao, meet Lord Qincha Xu!"

Although Xu Rui was only a petty official from the fifth grade, after all, with the name of a chapin cha, Lu Tianhao did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted him.

Xu Rui returned the salute meticulously, waved his hand and said: "Brother Lu don't have to be polite, the day before yesterday, I had a very happy conversation with the political envoy, and I was a confidant, your Lu family is your own people, and when you get here, you can just be like your own home, come and come, sit quickly, sit quickly." ”

After that, he pulled Lu Haotian and walked to the main seat.

Xu Rui was so polite, which immediately made Lu Tianhao's heart feel good, but he knew how to advance and retreat, and he didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with Qin Cha, so he hurriedly humbly said with half a step: "Lord Xu is polite, in the next grass people, I am grateful to see the honor of Qin Cha, how dare I take a seat?" ”

Xu Rui frowned, and said coldly: "What, look down on you?" I heard that the Xichuan remnants are very contemptuous of people from the non-Shi clan, and they happen to be born in poverty, does Brother Lu feel that he is not worthy of being called a brother and sister to the Lu family? ”

When Lu Tianhao heard this, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Xu...... Where does Brother Xu speak? You are both intelligent and intelligent, and you are in a high position when you are a weak crown, and the Lu family can treat you differently, and you are already grateful, how dare you be disrespectful? ”

Before coming here, Lu Tianhao was called to the room by Lu Linfeng, the head of the Lu family, to ask for his life, and he was naturally clear about Xu Rui's birth in the Ghost Valley and a series of feats in the capital, not to mention that his uncle, Lu Linshan, the political envoy of Xichuan, also praised Xu Rui, saying that he looked down on Xu Rui and really wronged him.

"In this case, you and I are of the same age, so we are commensurate with brothers, first, we need to be less red tape and closer, and secondly, we don't have to be like our elders and look dull."

Xu Rui's face turned cloudy in an instant, and he took Lu Tianhao's hand and said with a smile.

Lu Tianhao didn't know why this Qincha turned his face faster than he turned the book, and he was afraid of offending him in these little things, so he had to nod helplessly.

"I don't know what happened when Brother Lu came here from New Chang'an to find me?"

The two sat down separately, Lu Tianhao had just picked up the teacup, and before he had time to take a sip of cold tea, he heard Xu Rui ask quietly.

Lu Tianhao hurriedly put the teacup back on the table, and said: "It's not a special trip here, I originally asked three or five friends to live in Gonghe Mansion for a few days, and I just heard my uncle praise the adults before...... Uh, Brother Xu is outstanding in learning, and Lu is fascinated......"

Halfway through his words, Xu Rui suddenly chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Brother Lu doesn't know, since Xu Mou drank twice as much at the reception banquet that day, and talked nonsense, there are countless people who have come to Xu to talk about the scriptures and the Tao during this time.

This is tireless, originally, young people finally go out of the distance, just point to the mountains and rivers, how can there be so much effort to do learning?

But they are all old people, and Xu is not good at not giving face, and all the good time is wasted on talking about the scriptures and canons, which is a waste of time, Brother Lu, don't you say? ”

Xu Rui complained and caught Lu Tianhao off guard, and he couldn't say the opening sentence he had thought of anymore, so he had to open his mouth and nod stupidly: "Brother Xu is right, he is often forced to study by his master at home, and he is really miserable, and he feels empathy and empathy ...... below."

Hearing his answer, Xu Rui nodded with satisfaction, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "That's right, life must be happy, Brother Lu quickly taste the tea brought from the capital, it is definitely a rare flavor." ”

"Oooh......"

Lu Tianhao hurriedly picked up the teacup and put it in his mouth, but before he could drink it, he heard Xu Rui say: "I just heard that Brother Lu said that he made an appointment with three or five friends to live in Gonghe Mansion?" ”

"Yes......"

Seeing that Lu Tianhao seemed to be able to bring the topic back on track, he hurriedly put down the teacup and explained: "Originally, I asked the juniors of Cui, Wang, and Zheng to travel together, but I really admired Brother Xu's talent, so I specially pushed the date......"

"Haha, Brother Lu is really not interesting!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Rui suddenly laughed and shot the case, Lu Tianhao was startled, and thought that Xu Rui was dissatisfied, but he didn't expect Xu Rui to say in surprise: "Tongyou Gonghefu, Brother Lu has such a good thing but does not invite him, but he treats him as an outsider?" ”

"I ...... Nothing like this......"

Lu Tianhao was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only deny it again and again.

Xu Rui's face was overjoyed, and he patted Lu Tianhao's shoulder and said: "In this case, why don't Brother Lu take me on a trip with me, it just so happens that I am not familiar with the place in Xichuan, and I don't know where it is interesting, with Brother Lu, won't this be solved?" ”

"This ......"

Lu Tianhao's face was embarrassed.

Xu Rui's face turned pale: "What, Brother Lu is unwilling?" ”

Lu Tianhao hurriedly said with a smile: "Where, where, since Brother Xu has this taste, of course Lu is willing to be a guide, but there are still some serious things to do......"

"Okay, then let's set off immediately after drinking this cup of tea, don't hide it from Brother Lu, I've been suffocating for the past few days, and I have long wanted to go out to see the prosperity of Xichuan."

Xu Rui seemed to be overjoyed, and he couldn't wait for a moment.

Lu Tianhao was originally prepared, although Xu Rui was young in his eyes, he was also a mature bureaucrat, and he had to use the same style of officialdom to get along with him.

To this end, he collected many routines for Xu Rui to talk to people in advance, and carefully prepared a paragraph, intending to start from what he had seen and heard in the past few days, step by step, and set out the real purpose of Xu Rui's coming to Xichuan.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rui didn't play his cards according to common sense at all, like a self-acquainted middle school boy, and a few words blocked Lu Tianhao's confusion, and he agreed to Xu Rui's request to travel with him in a daze.

When the words were spoken, he realized that something was wrong, several friends who came with him were from four major families, their eyes were above the top, and they didn't know Xu Rui's details, if there was an omission between the words, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

"Huh? Why doesn't Brother Lu drink tea? ”

When Lu Tianhao was regretting not falling, he heard Xu Rui suddenly ask.

"Drink, drink, drink now."

He looked back at the cup that had been lifted several times, but had never been able to drink the tea in his mouth, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
