30 Seven Stars
"My dad is not available, and she is busy."
Generally, there are abnormal movements in Northern Meng, and it is not only the emperor's soldiers who are restrained, but also Lu Xiaoxuan.
When Emperor Cheng'an lived in the capital, the general on the front line was called Jiang Bai'an, a general in his fifties, who was a diehard loyalist of the emperor in the army.
Secretly, Lu Xiaoxuan is the main one, she is the overseer, escorting grain and grass, supervising the intelligence of both the enemy and us, and when necessary, she will attack the enemy general as a long-range sniper.
The reason why she won't stand on the bright side is that Lu Xiaoxuan's long-range deterrence is too great, if she goes to the front line openly, people with a bit of identity in Beimeng will not dare to show up, for fear of being killed by her arrow.
The second is that she also secretly chops off those who dare to stretch out their hands towards the grain and grass, so naturally she will not easily expose her whereabouts.
Three, even Lu Xiaoxuan knows that he has many enemies, so he will not show his trace wherever he goes, and it is often only after the fact that everyone knows that Lord Lu Xuan has handled another case.
At the same time, Jiang Bai'an is also old, and Emperor Cheng'an guarded the northern frontier before he ascended the throne, Yu Chaotang's power is limited, and there are too few credible people, even if he has ordered to train new generals, he can't find suitable talents for the time being, if Jiang Bai'an is cold, Lu Xiaoxuan, as the shadow commander, must immediately go up and hold the front at all costs.
Lu Xiaoxuan is not at home not only to investigate the case, if there is a war on the frontier, she can't go back, otherwise if Beimeng calls, what will happen to her young son who is still in the south?
Lu Ying knew where her mother was, and she could still send her a letter, and even Lu Xiaoxuan used the power of the Lu family when she concealed her whereabouts, but she couldn't tell Liu Ziyan about it clearly.
He could only bite to death: "I don't know where my dad is."
This is also a truth, he really doesn't know where his dead ghost father is, maybe which mass grave he is lying in.
Liu Ziyan shook her head, pouted, wanted to cry, and held back: "But my father is dying, and I can't find anyone who can help me except Master Lu."
Lu Ying: "None of my relatives and friends have been able to help out?"
Liu Ziyan shook her head: "No, our Liu family made a fortune by selling noodles in Youzhou, but how much money can noodles make?" After my father was admitted to Tanhua, we made all the noodles in the city, and the money we earned was only for my father to be an official, and I couldn't save my father's life. ”
The little girl's sad point is here, her father said that if the incident happened, he would send her back to her hometown to make noodles Shih Tzu, but she didn't want to sell noodles, let alone die.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Lu Ying is tired from the journey today, and she hasn't taken a nap yet, and this is the stage when her patience decreases and she wants to get angry when she hears a louder sound.
Mother Wei had already begun to coax Young Master Sun when he lost his temper, and she didn't want Lu Ying to endure it, so she pushed a cup of tea.
"Don't cry, you're so noisy."
Liu Ziyan whimpered, took a handkerchief to wipe her face, and was a little ashamed, feeling that she shouldn't cry in front of her brother, who was two years younger.
Wei's mother thought to herself, they are still children, no matter how mature they are, they will still cry when they are emotional.
If only there was an adult.
At this moment, Qiu Yu came in, and the others arrived before they could say anything: "Yingying, your goods are out, I'll bring Chen Jun to bring the account book."
Mother Wei was pleased: Isn't this coming, adult?
Qiu Yu, whose height was close to the average adult male of the Yu Dynasty but was also a child, strode into the flower hall, carrying an account book, and walked to Lu Ying's side.
Lu Ying didn't get up, but just moved a position for him: "Why did you come out so fast?"
Qiu Yu: "That's naturally because I'm here, there are so many merchants in the port, I blow a suona on the ground, attract everyone's attention, put the goods out, and then have samples for them to see, all the big brothers and uncles who run the sea have very sharp eyes, know that it is good goods, and pay for it on the spot."
He patted the account book: "Well, Chen Jun has written down the taxes and asked me to bring them to you, and he led the others to buy special products in the city."
When Lu Ying heard this, she took the account book and flipped through it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "This account is much clearer than before, but you reminded me that in the future, I have to build a place where merchants can see the goods, and set a charter to facilitate the flow of business."
The tax at the port is the bulk of the Lu family's income, and it will be of great benefit if it can make it more prosperous and conducive to commerce.
But even Lu Ying couldn't make an argument about the port, so she said to Wei's mother: "Go and write a letter to the head of the family to see what he says."
Leave this matter to Lu Fang, how to decide the charter and what to do, let the grandfather decide.
Qiu Yu complained in his heart, this Brother Ying should not come out of the entire sea trade office because of his words.
Seeing that Liu Ziyan's eyes were red, he gave Lu Ying an inquiring look, and Lu Ying was helpless again.
He said: "Send the refugees over, if you don't have enough manpower, the Lu family can send someone to pick you up, but I really don't know where my father is, and the Lu family doesn't have soldiers to borrow you."
Qiu Yu: "What's the matter, you need to work Lord Lu?"
Liu Ziyan said her embarrassment again, and Qiu Yu suddenly said: "Oh, is it the road bandit salt bully again."
"Can't you really help?" Qiu Yu asked Lu Ying.
Lu Ying asked back, "Do you really want to help?"
Qiu Yu: "After all, so many lives are at stake, natural disasters are unreasonable, people's homes have been flooded, there are no more medicinal materials and food, the sick are dying, the hungry are starving, I can't bear to think about it."
Lu Ying was originally patient, but now he was a little more surprised and unbearable.
He pondered for a moment and said: "If you can mobilize the guards in Huxiang to protect the grain, the matter will not be so difficult, Luo Dahu Qianhu of the Huxiang Guards is a person with some ability, as long as he is willing to lead troops to protect the grain, thousands of soldiers will be dispatched, and the Salt Gang will also have some scruples, which means that Governor Liu has the ability to move troops, and there will be room for things to turn around."
"After all, those who are rich, landed, and have rich assets at home want to live and enjoy for a long time, as long as Governor Liu's violence is enough to fight with them, they will not face Governor Liu head-on, but I am afraid that Luo Qianhu will not help, after all, if you want to fight against the Salt Gang, it is gambling
It's fateful. ”
Lu Ying analyzed the situation.
There are not many people who dare to take risks and confront the Salt Gang, Lu Xiaoxuan is counted as one, but I don't know if Luo Dahu counts.
Liu Ziyan has hope in her heart, if she can say that Luo Qianhu can be moved, will her father also have a way to live?
How to convince Luo Qianhu?
The little girl looked distressed.
Qiu Yu complained in her heart that Lu Ying saw the weakness of rich and big families so thoroughly at a young age, and said: "Luo Qianhu is not a bad person, he is just afraid that he will lose his life, and someone needs to protect him."
He stood up and patted his chest: "I'll go."
Lu Ying's eyes widened and she turned her head suddenly: "What are you going to do?"
What's there to mix with this kind of life-threatening thing!
Qiu Yu lowered his head and said, "I'll go to Hubei to open a gypsum mine, and be a bodyguard for Luo Qianhu by the way, and see if he can muster up the courage to protect the grain with my strong foreign aid."
Lu Ying didn't want him to go, so she mocked: "What do you do to protect him?" You've been squatting for two years, huh? ”
Qiu Yu was not angry, but said seriously: "Use my fist, use my body, but it is not Luo Qianhu who protects it, but those people who need food, grass and medicinal materials."
Lu Ying understood the meaning of these words, just as he knew what kind of person his mother was who cared for the people and was willing to dedicate himself, Qiu Yu now also wanted to take risks to help others, he felt that such Qiu Yu was very good, but he was also very unhappy.
Originally, Yingying was always lonely, and finally came to Qiu Yu to accompany her, but Qiu Yu also had the world in mind, so will Yingying be alone again?
The child pouted: "Then I'll go with you."
Qiu Yu flatly refused: "No, it's too dangerous there, you have to make a mistake, I'm sorry for Aunt Lu, I'm sorry for the people of Ding'an County, and I'm sorry for those believers in the rain god."
And Lu Ying has an accident, when General Jiang Bai'an, who is suspected of having a hidden danger of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, leaves, who will beat Beimeng?
The iron hooves of Northern Mongolia trampled on the mountains and rivers again, and the common people were going to be livestock in the pastures of the Northern Mengs with cattle, sheep and horses? Don't you...... Qiu Yu still prefers the Yu Dynasty that dominates the rivers and mountains, the Yu people are the first, and the Yu people are the most powerful.
Lu Ying: "Then I'll send Jiang Ping and Lan Shan to follow you."
Qiu Yu couldn't help laughing: "You don't need to send bodyguards for me."
He pressed Lu Ying's shoulder: "I've seen your skills these days, now let you see my skills, Yingying, I'm not just selling coconut oil."
Lu Ying: "I know, you can also eat plantains, guess numbers, and squat on horses."
The stalk of squatting on the horse step can't get by, Qiu Yu complained about himself in his heart, he shouldn't have read anything to Yingying, "In the future, when I introduce myself to others, I will say that I am an abandoned disciple of Wudang Mountain who has squatted for two years, Qiu Yu is also, so that others will think that my martial arts are sparse, despise me, and give me a chance to defeat the other party."
Now it's okay, the kid has written it all down.
Qiu Yu squatted down and held Lu Ying's shoulders: "Jiang Ping and Lanshan are protecting you, there are many people who want the Lu family to break the dynasty, as the only seedling, you have to take care of yourself."
Lu Ying looked at him, and as soon as his smart brain turned, he knew that Qiu Yu had made a decision, and this trip was dangerous, the Salt Gang and the sects of the Huxiang generation were huge and powerful, and they were afraid that they would have selfish means.
He thought for a long time and made up his mind: "Then I'll take you to Daoist Yang Shengzi and see if I can ask him to come out of the mountain."
"Sheep kidneys?" Qiu Yu opened her mouth, closed it again, and commented, "What a good name for a big supplement." ”
Lu Ying kicked him: "Stupid, Yang Shengzi Dao Chang is the master of the Seven Stars Temple, he has high martial arts and good medical skills, I was not in good health when I was a child, my parents would invite him to come to see a doctor, and saved me many times, if he is willing to go with you, no matter what danger you encounter, you can get out safely at the last time."
There is a seven-star ridge on Qiongya Island, there are seven stars on the seven-star ridge, and the master is Yang Shengzi, who is an old friend of Lv's grandmother Mu Yue.
Lu Ying, who had great action, immediately set off with Qiu Yu, Liu Ziyan followed, and Lu Ying didn't care, just let Jiang Ping carry him on his back and drag Qiu Yu to run fast, and went to the Seven Stars Temple on the same day.
The closer he got to this place, the more subtle Qiu Yu's expression became, and he wondered how the terrain was similar to the one he had seen before he crossed through the stargazing area, that is, the trees were more luxuriant, and there were not so many moss and traces of time on the stone steps.
Lu Ying said: "The ancestral tomb of the Lu family is also near here, but I won't take you to see it."
Qiu Yu nodded silently, sure enough, Officer Lu also said that she was wearing it near Lu Fang's tomb, and it is estimated that there are many households surnamed Lu in this generation.
Waiting for the Seven Stars View, Qiu Yu sighed.
Lu Ying turned around: "What's wrong?"
Qiu Yu: "It's nothing."
He just remembered that before stargazing, he climbed the mountain for a while, and passed by this temple during the process, but he didn't go in to see it, and he didn't know that this place was called the Seven Stars Temple.
Qiu Yu's eyes were on a white stone wall, thinking that behind that wall, there should be a lot of flowers and plants, and in the summer night, you can smell the fragrance from afar, and with the starry sky that night, it should be a good memory.
Seeing Lu Ying's small back, Qiu Yu hooked the corners of her mouth.
Forget it, it was indeed a good memory, beyond that meteor shower, he saw Yingying.
Yang Shengzi is an old man with fairy wind bones, black beard, beard length and chest, holding a whisk in his hand, leaning on a pine tree to tease a little squirrel, is the kind of fortune telling on the street, a good appearance can collect 500 wen in a hexagram.
When Lu Ying came in, Yang Shengzi inadvertently looked at it, and said in his heart, Immeasurable Tianzun, what did this hidden dragon do, the dragon qi on his body rose so violently, and if he continued like this, when the hidden dragon went out in the future, wouldn't anyone who knew a little physiognomy be able to see that he was very human!
Looking at Qiu Yu again, Yang Shengzi raised his hand and exclaimed, "Hey, this is actually nine years old!" :,,.
