Chapter 198: Relatives
Jiang Tangtang hesitated for a while, but finally decided to move on.
No matter whose territory it is, first find the location of the raw materials for making gunpowder. As for what to do in the future, I will think about it when the time comes.
Lu Shiyan has no objection to Jiang Tangtang's decision.
Originally, he was also going to find a time to go to Fengyang. Just accompany Jiang Tangtang this time, so just go to Fengyang by the way!
Knowing that he was going to Fengyang, Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but feel a little happy. She has traveled for so long, but in fact, she has not been to many cities, and she doesn't know what Fengyang is like. But although he was happy, he was still a little worried: "Are you physically able to eat?" ”
He had just taken her on a trip to Baiyue, hundreds of kilometers back and forth. I didn't have a good rest when I came back, and took her to Fengyang again.
Even if he knew that he was an immortal monarch who had crossed over, different from ordinary people, Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but worry about him.
That's too much exercise!
Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes and looked at her and said, "Worried about me? ”
Jiang Tangtang was a little worried, but seeing him like that, he instantly sneered, "No!" ”
Lu Shiyan ignored her duplicity, and said to himself: "When we go to Fengyang, we will find an inn to live in and stay in the city for a few days." ”
Such an arrangement is naturally in line with Jiang Tangtang's wishes.

Puzhou.
Outside the recruitment point, a large number of refugees gathered. Some people gathered around to discuss how much food they could get after joining the army, while others were wiping tears and fearing that they would die if they went to war.
Some people are also talking about how the newly appointed governor of Puzhou is wise and martial.
Several people in Jia Mingzhou dressed up as refugees and lined up at the end of the line, and when they heard people talk about Lu Shiyan, they glanced at each other without a trace.
They were sent by King Duan to Puzhou to find out the news.
If you want to penetrate into the enemy's interior, find out the most sophisticated information, participate in recruitment, and get appreciated by the above through meritorious service, it should be a good way.
Just when a few people pricked up their ears to listen to people talking about Lu Shiyan, outside the recruiting point, there was another group of people who also turned sideways and listened carefully to the words of those people.
"Mother, they seem to be talking about the three boys of the uncle's family." Lu Fushan shook his wife's arm excitedly and said, "Did you hear that, the three boys of the uncle's family have come out and become a captain in Puzhou." Let's go to him and ask him to help us. ”
Liao didn't believe it, shook his head and said, "It's just the same name!" He hasn't read a book, at most he will hunt in the mountains, where can he be an official! ”
Lu Fushan also felt that Lu Shiyan was not qualified to be an official.
But in order to dispel the idea of his mother sending him to join the army, he tried his best to persuade him: "Mother, did you hear what they said?" said that he was originally just a refugee fleeing the famine, but he was appreciated by Lord Zhang, so he became a lieutenant in Puzhou. It must be the third cousin, and there will be no mistake. ”
Seeing his mother's hesitation, he said to his father again, "Dad, let's go over there and ask!" Even if I really join the army and have a cousin who is a captain, people don't dare to look down on me, maybe I will be promoted, and I will also have a half-official position? ”
Listening to their son's words, both husband and wife were moved. If their son can become an official, it will really be smoke from the ancestral grave.
But both of them were timid and afraid, and no one dared to ask the military master.
Lu Fushan was also afraid of the military master, but he thought that if he didn't find a way out, he would be sent to the barracks as a soldier in exchange for food. With a heart, he walked towards the military master wearing a big sword in the recruiting office.
"What? Those who want to sign up for the army will line up at the back and wait for the assessment. ”
The soldiers who were maintaining order on the side, seeing Lu Fushan shrinking his head, squeezed forward and stood up to maintain order.
Lu Fushan was startled by the serious soldier, and almost fell to his knees with weakness on his knees.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said forcefully: "Master Jun, I'm not here to cut in line, I just want to come to inquire with you." I'd like to ask Lieutenant Ludu—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a soldier, "Don't inquire if you shouldn't ask." ”
"No, we are relatives, I am his cousin. I got separated on the way to escape from the famine, and you can help me spread a message, saying that his second uncle and aunt's family arrived in Puzhou and called him to pick us up. ”
The soldier looked him back and forth, and said disdainfully, "Just you? ”
How heroic is Lord Lu?
How can it have anything to do with the soft-footed shrimp in front of you?
He said impatiently: "Let's go, like you, I don't know how many people want to come and have a relationship with my family, just ...... like this" He sighed twice, "Next time, I want to cheat, I will practice at home first." ”
Lu Fushan was not sure before, and he was not sure if he had recognized the wrong person. But the contempt of the soldiers aroused his competitive spirit.
He shouted loudly, "Really, I really am your cousin of Lord Lu. You drive me away, and when you Lord Lu knows, you will punish you. ”
"Let's go, if you don't want to join the army, don't make trouble here. Who doesn't know that our Lord Lu is the most disciplined! I'm doing business, and it's too late for him to reward me, so how can he punish me? ”
The soldier impatiently pushed Lu Fusheng out, and the Liao family trembled with fright, while holding the younger son and hurriedly hiding back, while scolding the eldest son for not being angry, he had to run to recognize his relatives and bring trouble to the family!
Lu Fusheng was unwilling to be driven away like this at this time, and howled regardless of it: "You adults came out of Dawan Village, aren't you?" I have a son who is mute and can do kung fu......"
He talked nonsense about Lu Shiyan's characteristics, and several people in Jia Mingzhou instantly looked at him.
Seeing that Lu Fusheng was driven away by the soldier who maintained order, Jia Mingzhou pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Old Five, you follow him to have a look." ”
Wang Shuncai looked at Lu Fusheng, who was kneeling on the ground and was still talking nonsense in his mouth, and lowered his voice and said, "Head, that's a liar!" What to do with him? ”
"I think what he said is very likely to be true, follow him, but I'm afraid of unexpected gains." Jia Mingzhou said in a low voice: "It's best to be a brother with him and gain his trust." ”
Lu Shiyan was born in a poor peasant family, and it is normal to have such relatives who are not on the table. Moreover, some of the words that Lu Fusheng shouted just now were in line with some of the information they had obtained from their previous investigation of Lu Shiyan.
Wang Shuncai quickly withdrew from the team and chased after Lu Fusheng's family.
Just now, because of Lu Fusheng's behavior, the person in charge of recruiting troops had directly informed him that he could not meet the conditions for recruiting soldiers and persuaded them to leave.
At this moment, the Liao family was complaining about Lu Fusheng, "It's all your fault, if you didn't make this scene, how could you annoy the military master and not let you join the army?" How nice would it be to join the army? You can eat military rations, and you can also divide ten catties of food into food. ”
Lu Fusheng didn't feel pity at all, "Mother, you know the military rations, do you think the military rations are so delicious?" That's a guillotine meal. ”
"Nonsense, what kind of severed head meal, do you see those military masters, don't they live well? What a prestige! ”
Liao Shi said with a sad face: "What is it like now?" There is no food at home, and you have a good way to live, and you are cut off again. Our family is just waiting to starve to death! ”
