Looking at the silent young man in front of him, Li Xinian sighed with emotion.

When I accepted this son to get started, half of it was forced to do so, and the other half really felt that this son was different from those thieves.

After leaving Sanyang County, Li Xinian moved to Liuzhou with his family, wanting to avoid this mundane trouble, as for Lu Chao, he did not break his promise and taught this son seriously.

And Lu Chao is indeed a scholar of Confucianism, in eight years, he has watched this son gradually transform from a nerd.

Although the Lu brothers were born in a reckless background, their talents are indeed not bad.

Needless to say, Lu Xuan is now a top martial artist, and after Lu Chao entered Li Xinian's door, his talent gradually revealed.

A few years ago, Liuzhou suffered a flood, the imperial court could not provide relief, and many officials were dismissed, Liuzhou had friends who asked him to go out of the mountains to help, but Li Xinian had nothing to do about it, the imperial court had no money for disaster relief, what could he do?

Lu Chao once volunteered to be a staff member for a period of time.

At Lu Chao's suggestion, Taishou wantonly used the money from the treasury to buy grain at a high price, attracting a large number of grain merchants to come over, but after these grain merchants gathered, Lu Chao said that there was no silver in the treasury, so that countless grain merchants thought they were unlucky and sold grain at a low price, which solved the local disaster.

However, Lu Chao also took the blame because of this and was dismissed by Taishou.

Afterwards, Taishou personally came to the door to ask for the crime, because of this incident, not only Lu Chao's reputation was ruined among the scholars, but he was almost ostracized, and since then, Lu Chao has never appeared in the officialdom, and Lu Chao himself doesn't seem to care much about this matter.

These two brothers are not well-behaved people.

In other words, the years of being a thief and his brother had a great influence on Lu Chao, although he looked like a humble gentleman on weekdays, he was a little unscrupulous in doing things, only looking at the result, regardless of the process.

"Then why did you come to Tiandu with your teacher? Shouldn't I go to your brother now? Li Xinian looked at Lu Chao and asked with a smile.

"Try to see if you can save the teacher's life at the critical moment, as for the brother...... Now there should be no shortage of me, I went to my brother and it is not easy to arrange, the most difficult time to escape, now I see that the great cause has been accomplished, but I ran to enjoy the benefits, even if the brother and those brothers do not say, it is inevitable that there will be mustard in the heart, now the brother finally has a foundation, I can't make my brother embarrassed, compared to this, the teacher may need more people here. Lu Chao put down the teacup and said.

"Your brother's words, the old man doesn't want to believe half a word." Li Xinian snorted, Lu Xuan can tell the truth to tell the effect of lies, Lu Chao is eyes open and say nonsense and people can feel his sincerity, think about the Taishou back then, that is, Lu Chao deceived a large number of Liuzhou wealthy businessmen into the game, and finally Lu Chao said that the matter had been resolved, patted his ass and left, leaving Taishou alone to face the anger of wealthy businessmen everywhere, if it weren't for Li Xinian's reputation, people might have come with a knife at the beginning.

"This is a sincere statement, and there should be some basic trust between teachers and apprentices." Lu Chao took a sip of tea.

"Come with me to visit Master Zhang later, don't talk too much." Li Xinian sighed, he really likes this disciple, but he also has a real headache, especially the strength to do his own thing, which is really annoying.

"The disciple still knows some etiquette." Lu Chao nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Li Xinian nodded, on the surface, this disciple didn't say anything, giving people the feeling that he was an honest and easy to bully nerd, easy to provoke the old man, but after getting along for a long time, he would find that this honest child's heart was black.

Zhang Shi and Li Xinian are half-teachers and half-friends, Li Xinian and Zhang Shi often exchanged letters when they were in Liuzhou, but the last time they met, it was more than ten years ago, and now goodbye, the old friend is full of hair, and naturally he can't help but sigh with emotion.

Lu Chao really didn't say much, only answered some questions when asked, and Zhang was very satisfied with the answers, and rewarded him with a lot of things.

"Where are you going?" After leaving Zhang Shi's house, Lu Chao asked Li Xinian to resign, Li Xinian was a little puzzled, he didn't remember that this child had an old man in Tiandu.

"The disciple is good at chess, and the literati gather in the sky this day, and I think there are also people who are proficient in the way of chess, and the disciple wants to meet him." Lu Chao said with a smile.

"You want to go to the Qinglou, right?" Li Xinian asked.

"Well, I heard the name of spring, I want to meet today, and I also want to meet friends with chess." Lu Chao's mind was broken, and he was not embarrassed.

"It's no better than Liuzhou, the old man's face is of little use here, don't make trouble." Li Xinian instructed.

……

"General Lu, since you got married, you haven't been here for some days, and they have lost weight." Spring is strong, and when the old bustard sees Lu Xuan, it is as if he has seen a relative.

"What? Treat General Ben as a human race? Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"Look at what you said, the girls miss you." The old bustard said angrily.

"What's going on over there?" Lu Xuan's gaze fell on the location where a group of scholars had gathered, and suddenly asked.

"A scholar from other places, said that he would meet friends with chess, this nerd looked honest, but he was crazy when he spoke, saying that the scholars of Tiandu only knew the flies and dogs, and had long forgotten the original intention of studying. The old bustard sighed.

Lu Xuan's eyes passed through the crowd and fell on the face of the young man playing chess, and after being stunned for a long time, he suddenly smiled: "Interesting, General Ben will also go to have a fun today." ”

"Huh?" The old bustard was a little stunned when he heard this, this Lu Fengxian has never been with these scholars, and even a little disdainful, this is a change of sex today?

While speaking, Lu Xuan had already come to the chess table, and there was a middle-aged scribe in front of him meditating on the chessboard, but the young man opposite was calm, and his delicate face still had that slightly dull temperament, but there was a little more confidence and sharpness in his eyes, and his eyes always fell on the other party, with a sincere smile on his face.

"Get out of the way." Lu Xuan waved his hand and directly and brutally pushed away the middle-aged scribe who was playing chess.

"You ......" The scribe was furious, but when he saw that it was Lu Xuan, his momentum suddenly became short, he coughed lightly, and retreated into the crowd.

"This brother Tai has to have rules for doing things, first come and come first." Lu Chao glanced at Lu Xuan suspiciously, a little familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen this person, and frowned slightly.

"The rules are made by men." Lu Xuan said casually while separating the chess pieces: "Now the rules can be changed." ”

Lu Chao's eyes swept over the faces of the surrounding scholars who dared to speak angrily, and also smiled: "Maybe." ”

Lu Xuan looked at Lu Chao in surprise, this child's emotional change is much smoother than before, if it was the previous Lu Chao, he would probably fight for it.

"Where?" Lu Xuan fiddled with the chess pieces, and was not in a hurry to play, and asked casually.

"Liuzhou."

"Doesn't sound like that." Lu Xuan casually got down and said.

"A lot of people say that."

"What are you going to do in the future?" Lu Xuanluozi said.

"Be an official."

After playing a few hands and saying a few words, Lu Xuan's face turned a little dark, it's not chess, he doesn't know chess, the person who is playing now is Li Xingzhi, who is far away in Sanyang County, and Lu Chao is playing against Lu Chao through the deity, Lu Xuan doesn't know this chess too well, what makes him speechless is that his younger brother feels very sincere when he speaks, and people can't help but believe it, but none of them are true.

This brother ...... Bad learning!

"The general's chess skills are exquisite, and Lu admires him." Lu Chao's attention gradually focused on the chessboard, and the speed of falling pieces became slower and slower.

"It's so much more complicated than that, weird?" Lu Xuan casually dropped a sub and said.

Lu Chao glanced up at Lu Xuan, continued to look at the chessboard, and after thinking for a while, he said: "There is still a difference, but I can't imagine that in the great heavenly capital, the highest chess skill is not Confucianism, but martial arts, which is really surprising." ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding scholars who were still cheering for Lu Xuan just now suddenly fell silent, looking at Lu Xuan with complicated eyes.

A kid from Liuzhou couldn't raise his head in chess skills, but now he let a martial artist suppress it, at this moment, the people who originally hoped that Lu Xuan would win were attracted by Lu Chao's sentence and began to change, but they hoped that Lu Chao would win.

"You kid, that's a lot on your mind." Lu Xuan naturally noticed the changes in everyone's mood, but he didn't care much, looked at Lu Chao and said with a smile: "Since you are here to be an official, how about coming to the command of General Ben?" ”

"I'm not a shallow learner, I'm afraid I'll miss the general's big thing." Although he didn't know the specific identity of the other party, he knew from the attitudes of the surrounding scholars that the person in front of him was not popular, and before he figured out the depth of the other party, Lu Chao felt that it was better not to get involved in too many relationships.

"I think you're pretty good." Lu Xuan smiled: "General Ben rarely opens his mouth to solicit people, if you come to me, Qipin." ”

As the general of the current dynasty and the son-in-law of the Xie family, Lu Xuan was very confident when he said this, and many scholars around him looked more complicated, looking at Lu Chao's gaze, eager to replace him.

"No, I still want to enter the company with my ability." Lu Chao said with a smile: "The general's chess skills are not as good as playing." ”

"That's a shame." Lu Xuan casually threw away the chess pieces in his hand and said, "If you change your mind in the future, come to me at any time." ”

With that, he walked out into the crowd.

"General, I didn't expect you to have this hand, it really opened the eyes of the old body!" The old bustard came to Lu Xuan and said with admiration: "The girls know, I'm afraid they have to love the general to death." ”

"It's just troublesome, did the little scholar see it?" Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"Well, the old body understands, this is what makes people throw this kid out, and he dares to refuse the general's kindness, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!" The old bustard nodded, and was ready to find someone to clean up Lu Chao.

"General Ben likes this kid very much, treat him well, serve him well, and account me here." Hearing this, Lu Xuan glanced at the old bustard and said.

"Uh...... The old body suddenly felt that this scholar had a handsome face and a polite manner, and he was a big thing at a glance, general, you are really wise! ”

"Go and entertain him, I'll find my way!" Lu Xuan waved his hand.

"Huh~"
