In the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Ang went to Ertang to find the county Zhu Gaojing.

He had already thought about it repeatedly, and he still felt that it was necessary to read history books and understand the past of this world, because although he had a very small responsibility for himself in his heart, and he firmly rejected the so-called "mission" left by Master when he left, as a cultivator, the clearer he understood the world, especially his enemies, and once he encountered it in the future, the greater the hope of victory, but it was certain.

And the channel that can be thought of at present is only at the former prime minister Lu Duan.

Although he felt that the relationship with Gao Jing was not particularly close, they had cooperated with each other for a period of time, and they had some tacit understanding, and he still relied on himself a little, plus...... Just inquiring, Zhou Ang didn't think there would be any big problem.

On the contrary, Gao Jing was a little happy that Zhou Ang took the initiative to come to him.

Although he has always relied on Zhou Ang's ability, and he has also worked hard to win over and cultivate a tacit understanding with each other, Zhou Ang seems to be such a person, he is very kind to everyone, and he feels very easy to get along with, but when he gets in touch deeply, he will find that he doesn't seem to be willing to talk too deeply about some topics with anyone.

Or rather, he has too many secrets.

There has been nothing to do recently, Zhou Ang is willing to take the initiative to come over to chat with him, and Gao Jing welcomes him.

So they made a pot of tea, everyone laughed and talked a few words, and Zhou Ang quickly asked about Lu Duan. Gao Jing asked two questions puzzled, hearing that Zhou Ang wanted to read history books, and then thought of his identity as a scholar, and even went all the way to Chang'an to study, he couldn't help laughing.

After thinking about it, he said, "Is Mr. Lu this person...... Although I don't know much, he is after all one of the two heroes who arrived at Chaogang more than 20 years ago, and I really know a little about him. ”

"Two heroes?"

Zhou Ang couldn't help but be surprised.

This is the first time he has heard of this statement.

Gao Jing said seriously: "You also know, Xu Xiang is in power, and his relationship with Mr. Lu is ...... Alas, actually, it should be a pity. ”

"When the Tang Dynasty was in civil strife, the two of them, one from the south, one from the north, one from the state, one from the army, one hastily gathered eight thousand guerrillas to disperse, but within three days they smashed the Yellow Dragon, wiped out the rebellion of more than 100,000 troops, and captured the head of the sentence, one with 3,000 foot soldiers was the Xianbei people in Dayan Pass, and they were dragged until the army arrived, and finally surrounded and annihilated more than 40,000 Xianbei people, so that the Xianbei people did not dare to go south for ten years, and became famous, and then both of them were out of the phase, and for a while they were called the North and South Tigers!"

Later, it was also the two of them, one of them stabilized the court in the middle, raised grain and grass logistics, and the other fought with the Han State outside, and finally won the difficult battle, and the Tang Dynasty, which was already very dangerous at that time, was stabilized again, and both of them had the merit of supporting the first emperor, according to it...... Both of them are rare geniuses in our Datang Dynasty in a century, but unfortunately, the two tigers are competing...... Alas!"

Seeing Zhou Ang's stunned look, Gao Jing smiled and said: "It's not quite the same as the propaganda you have studied since you were a child, and the propaganda you have seen in the government, right?

Zhou Ang nodded suddenly.

It seems that Gao Jing has been in Chang'an for a few years before, not in vain, and himself, even if he has been to Chang'an to study for more than half a year, but one is that Mr. Du Ling Du Zishan is just a big Confucian in the opposition, and he may not really know too much about the inside story of the court, and second, Mr. Duling's knowledge and what he wants are not this, so he has never heard of these.

According to the county wishes, these two wizards joined hands to resist the enemy and help the first emperor to ascend to the throne, and later fell out...... That's enough to write a book!"

Gao Jing laughed when he heard this, and said: "It's just a private chat, don't mention it to the outside world, so as not to cause trouble." ”

After a pause, he seemed to be subconsciously, turned his head to look north, and said: "Although Xu Xiang is more than sixty years old, it is said that his momentum has not diminished back then, and His Majesty is also afraid of him today!"

Zhou Ang pursed his lips and nodded.

In fact, when Gao Jing mentioned His Majesty today, he subconsciously thought of the scene he saw when Master took him to the palace of the Tang Dynasty a few nights ago.

Well, aside from the fact that the fox demons were really flirtatious with their fluffy tails, he noticed something else.

Of course, that's not the point.

Zhou Ang asked: "I heard that until now, there are still people above who are monitoring Lu Xiang's every move all the time, I don't know if it's true?"

Gao Jing immediately nodded and said, "That's the duty of the Taishou Mansion." It's not just Lu Xiang, some ...... Important people, the court will have their own eyeliner to pay attention to at all times, this is not simply Xu Liang's arrangement, it is the practice of the court. For example......" he smiled, "you also know that we are responsible for protecting the county government." But what about more than just protection? There's also a responsibility, which is surveillance. ”

Zhou Ang nodded, indicating understanding.

But soon, he asked again: "If I go to the door to borrow a book, will it be ......?"

Gao Jing smiled and said, "If someone records it, someone may ask you for questioning." But today, more than 20 years have passed, and it is impossible for Lu Xiang to have any strength left in today's court. So...... Probably no one really bothered you just because you borrowed a few books. At most, the county will not dare to ask you to be Maocai. ”

Can't you be Maocai?

This price is really not too big, and it is in the acceptable category.

This thought just flashed through his mind, Zhou Ang was suddenly stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Gao Jing, and saw Gao Jing smiling, he immediately understood the subtext of the other party-

If it is recorded, of course, it is necessary to ask, but if it is not recorded, there will be nothing at all - after all, it is already the old prime minister of twenty or thirty years ago.

Yes!

The problem is only here.

Zhou Ang immediately nodded and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for the county wishes, I understand." ”

............

Actually, if the county was responsible for sending someone to guard and monitor Lu Duan, things would be easier, but even if the Taishou Mansion sent someone to do this, it would not be too difficult.

Again, he was just an old political enemy from more than 20 years ago, and now the attention he attracted on him had theoretically been reduced to a minimum.

And for the local head snake, especially for Zhou Ang, who is still in the system of the yamen, it is not too difficult to figure out who is in charge of this errand and how to find his way.

So two days later, after tossing and turning, five taels of silver were sent out, and the other party heard that the person who was going to Lu's house was just a local scholar, because he was greedy for the books in Lu Duan's hand, so he wanted to borrow books, and almost without the slightest hesitation, he agreed.

On the morning of his duty, Zhou Ang gathered up, borrowed a horse from the yamen, and rode six or seven miles west to a small town called "Lujia Town" over there.

So the person in charge of guarding the guard walked away for a while, and let Zhou Ang go over and knock on the door of the Lu family.

In all fairness, the Lu family's house seems to be not small, but it should not have been repaired for many years, and it looks a little dilapidated.

It is said that this is the ancestral home of the Lu family.

Its current situation is more in line with the current situation of the Lu family.

It has been wide, and now it has lost ground and fallen.

Zhou Ang knocked on the door twice, and after a long time, an old servant finally opened the door inside, opened the door, and looked at Zhou Ang with a touch of doubt, as if he was wondering, how could someone knock on his door.

Zhou Ang made it clear that he wanted to visit Mr. Lu.

The old servant didn't dare to respond, and he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to close the door and go back to report.

After a while, he came over again and opened the door and invited Zhou Ang into the house.

Then, it was particularly easy and smooth, Zhou Ang was in the courtyard of the Lu family's house and saw Lu Duan and Lu Zhengshan who were watering the flowers. One of the former prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

When he saw the guests come in, he put down the kettle and straightened up, and it could be seen that he was in good spirits, and instead of being depressed, he looked like he was only forty or fifty years old.

But he is now nearly sixty years old.

He didn't even have a single white hair on his head, he was tall, a little southerner and northern, but he didn't have the majesty and oppression of a big man, but he was really kind like a learned old layman.

Seeing the smile on his face, Zhou Ang couldn't help but think: Maybe it may be that years of seclusion and years of experience of being guarded have made his heroic spirit back then, as well as the so-called prime minister's temperament above ten thousand people under one person, have been polished clean.

Zhou Ang stood still from afar, first bowed his head respectfully, and said: "After learning the last to advance, Zhou Ang Zhou Zixiu of Lingzhou has seen the old gentleman." ”

Lu Duan beckoned to him, and when Zhou Ang approached, he still had that faint smile on his face, and asked, "It is said that you want to visit me and want to borrow books?"

Zhou Ang smiled: "Exactly." ”

After a pause, he said seriously: "Hou Xue didn't know the name of Mr. Originally, I wanted to borrow some history books to take a look at it recently, and asked all over Lingzhou, and then a gentleman told me that if I borrowed history books, no one can exceed Mr. today, so Mo Xue came to visit Mr. Excuse me!"

Lu Duan had been looking at Zhou Ang very seriously, and when he finished speaking, he nodded kindly, but couldn't help but say, "There are people watching outside my house, you know?"

Zhou Ang nodded, "Yes." ”

Lu Duanda was interested, "Then you are still here, are you not afraid that you will block the way forward in the future?"

Zhou Ang said with a smile: "First, Mo Xuezhi is not in Maocai, so he doesn't care too much, and second, Mo Xuezhi spent some money and was accommodating, and the person who guarded Mr. promised that he would not record my visit." ”

Lu Duan was surprised when he heard this, "Is there anything else going on?"

Jia Zhouang nodded, and he asked, "You...... How much did it cost?"

Zhou Ang stretched out his hand, gestured, and said, "Five taels of silver." ”

Lu Duan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed a little.

After a moment, he burst out laughing.
