Chapter Ninety-Six: South Lane Becomes the Key
Xiao Luo's hint, Lu Youling naturally knew what was going on, and when he saw that He Chang's fat face was full of caution, he stood up and walked to him.
"Envoy He, I wonder if today's dishes meet your appetite, and whether they are higher than the fasting rice in my Jiali Temple?"
He Chang's heart 'groaned', and the wine in the cup raised in his hand dispersed for a while. Lu Youling said with a smile: "Why did He Chang make him suddenly panicked, he couldn't even hold the cup steadily. ”
"Little junior brother, it seems that He Chang Envoy has been tired all the way, you might as well give him a pot of wine on behalf of Benjun. ”
"Senior brother, don't you know, how can a child of this age touch wine? But He Chang Envoy is different, he has a great ability to drink, and even our White Deacon is not as good as him. ”
These words were like igniting fire, completely igniting the fear in He Chang's heart. He Chang drank this glass of wine tremblingly and said, "I am not feeling well, and I hope that Enzhun will go back to the pavilion to rest first." ”
"Since Chief He is in poor health, please pay more attention and find the imperial doctor in the palace to take a look at you at the right time. ”
"If you don't tighten, if you don't tighten, you will leave first, and the monarch will be safe. ”
He Chang Envoy basically left the Guiyuan Hall as if he had fled, and looking at his hasty escape, Lu Youling couldn't help but grin and laugh out loud.
"Why are you two here?"
Xiao Luo asked with a small cup of his own drink, Lu Youling and Qu Chengfeng glanced at each other before saying: "This He Chang made me meet in the Zhongzheng Hall in the morning, he and Bai Zixiang have already been in contact, and discussed the conspiracy of Luo Sheng after attacking Yundu, but unfortunately I didn't hear what the big thing they were referring to. ”
"I see, then it's not the right time for you to come, you look at this letter sent by Qin Tiancang, what is said in it should be a major event that they conspired to. After that, Xiao Luo threw a letter on the table, Lu Youling hurriedly opened it, Qin Tiancang wrote in his heart that once Rizhao entered the army, in addition to letting Yundu provide war supplies, he would also set aside the eastern suburbs of Chenhe as the expeditionary camp of Rizhao Kingdom.
"This is too much, and he actually wants us to cede the land of Yundu to him. ”
"The allocation of land is a small matter, the key is that once the eastern suburbs of Chenhe are used for him to build an expeditionary camp, he can garrison a large number of troops to look at my Yundu, and once Yundu and Rizhao start a war in the future, Chenhe can no longer play a role in blocking the enemy, and then Rizhao's military horses can drive straight into the west gate. ”
"I understand, Chief He must have met with Bai Zixiang in the morning to discuss this matter, and Bai Zixiang must have agreed, so He Chang Envoy had the courage to come to the senior brother, and he was not afraid that the senior brother would not agree when the time came. ”
Xiao Luo nodded and said: "That's right, just now Envoy He asked me to decide this matter as soon as possible, I was struggling with no way to pass the buck, fortunately you came, I gave you a look, the junior brother is smart and clever, and he suddenly realized the meaning of being a brother, and in a few words, he scared the envoy away from him, which is really amazing." ”
Recently, Lu Youling has always stabbed Lou Zi, and she hasn't been praised by her senior brother like today for a long time, and her heart suddenly bloomed.
"But although there is no need to express a position for the time being, Luo Sheng soldiers and horses will eventually have a time to commit crimes, and if you go to ask for help from Rizhao at that time, I am afraid that it will not be possible to meet this condition, for this matter, I really haven't had a good night's sleep for a while. ”
"Senior brother, in fact, there is another way, maybe don't use Rizhao for assistance. ”
"Oh?" Xiao Xiao looked at Lu Youling with his eyes narrow, he couldn't imagine that he hadn't seen him for a while, Lu Youling was still concerned about the safety of Yundu, it seemed that it was not for nothing that the Deacon of the Extreme Dao chose him as a disciple.
"Senior brother, you might as well say it and see what kind of way it is. ”
"Senior brother, you have also seen Qu Chengfeng, it seems that you must ask his father for help this time. ”
Lu Youling pushed Qu Chengfeng in front of Xiao Luo, Qu Chengfeng was suddenly at a loss, his eyes wandered around, and he looked nervous.
"Do you mean to let Qu Luotong come forward? In fact, I have already thought about this method, but I haven't fulfilled the conditions offered by Zhenliang last time, and this time I will let him lobby He Jiayizun, I am afraid that he will not agree to such a risky thing. ”
"Senior brother, we didn't have good chips in our hands before, but in fact, the key to the quality of chips is whether we can use them. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Qu Luotong is not only Qu Chengfeng's only son, let Qu Chengfeng meet him. ”
"I thought you could come up with a good way, if Qu Luotong knew that Qu Chengfeng's tongue was twisted away, how could he give up, this idea should not be even thought of. ”
"In this case, let Qu Chengfeng write a letter to his family with his own ornaments, the letter said that everything is fine in the Jiali Temple, let his father contribute to the defense of the clouds, if his father sees that Qu Chengfeng is still alive, he should meet our requirements. ”
"You said that Qu Luotong is too simple, a hasty letter asked him to take the risk to go to Luo Sheng to lobby, there are so many masters around him, how can there be no reason not to investigate, and Qu Luotong and Qin Tiancang have such a close relationship, I am afraid that Qin Tiancang will already tell Qu Luotong about the plan, and it is unknown whether Qu Luotong will agree. ”
"Senior brother, there is no way now, otherwise we will really have to accept the reinforcement conditions of Rizhao for losing power and humiliating the country. ”
Xiao Luo sighed, and couldn't help but think sadly that since he took office for a month, not only did he not restore peace to Yundu, but he brought Yundu into the chaos of war. And now there is a possibility that this war will not happen, and Xiao Luo is determined to give it a try.
"Nanxiang is the territory of Quluotong, for my brother has been entangled in government affairs for the past few days, so you will send the letter, what do you think?"
"Am I going alone?"
Xiao Luo thought that it was really inappropriate to let Amu go alone, so he changed his words and said, "Why don't you let Fang Chixiao accompany you, what do you think?"
"That's the best, of course, but it's up to my brother to decide how this letter should be written. ”
"I think this letter will be written by me," Xiao said after thinking deeply: "In addition to explaining that Qu Chengfeng is all right and attaching a token, I intend to let Qu Luotong take over the tax finance of Yundu Nantong Road, which can be regarded as my sincerity." ”
When I was a child, I heard that the southerners are mountainous and wild people, and they like to eat and sleep with wild beasts, but they are separated from us by mountains, and it is inconvenient to travel back and forth. ”
"Well, but a few years ago, after Nantong cried and repaired, the Nanren began to trade with us one after another, and they were rich in delicacies and herbs, and exchanged with us for the weaving, ironware and other daily necessities they needed, and these years were also the most prosperous period of trade. The South Lane under the jurisdiction of Quluotong is on the side of Nantong Road, if it is handed over to him to take care of, I believe that with his wrist, he will be able to grab the greatest benefits. ”
"Senior brother, I'm still not at ease, after all, I am not completely sure to convince him. ”
"It's man-made, junior brother, you have to have confidence in yourself. Xiao Luo suddenly let Qu Chengfeng step forward, he carefully looked at his whole body, and Qu Chengfeng looked panicked.
"We are going to negotiate with your father, and I hope you will show you a token so that your father can believe it. ”
Qu Chengfeng shook his head again and again, Lu Youling suddenly became anxious, and pushed him, "Brother, it's time for this, you shouldn't disagree!"
"Ah...... Ahh
"What did he say?" Xiao was slightly confused, and Lu Youling saw Qu Chengfeng groping around with him for a while, and spread his hands, and understood what he meant.
"Senior brother, he may not have anything on him that can be used as a token. ”
"How's that to be?"
"Otherwise, let Qu Chengfeng go with us, paper can't contain the fire after all, it's better to let their father and son meet. ”
Xiao Luo pondered for a long time, if he didn't agree, there was really no better way now, but if Qu Luotong saw that his child's tongue was twisted away, it might cause more problems.
Xiao Luo finally planned to gamble on a game, so he agreed: "It's better to send a few more guards with strong cultivation to protect you, junior brother, you must remember not to talk nonsense, Nanxiang is not my place after all, and other people's territory is naturally a guest." ”
"Senior brother, don't worry, I will never talk nonsense, but I don't think there is a need for the guards, having Brother Fang accompanied is enough to protect us, anyway, it is his family's territory, if he has the heart to embarrass me, it will be useless to bring more people there. ”
Xiao Xiao saw that Lu Youling looked confident, so he wrote a letter for Lu Youling to carry with him, and ordered Fang Chixiao to walk with Lu Youling.
Lu Youling was not not scared at all, he insisted on going back to Jiali Temple to take the master with him, and he had a smile to protect himself, plus the master, he should be able to get out of the house no matter what.
Ji Dao Fei didn't want to agree to him at first, but when he saw his stubborn appearance, he had to reluctantly embarrass him, and he only heard of Qu Luotong's name and didn't see him, so he also wanted to see him. Now that his cultivation has returned to the early stage of 'Wu Delusion', at this time, Ling Yuan is void and his qi rank is insufficient, although it is not enough to make full use of the moves of the 'Wu Delusion' realm, but it is still more than enough. Now seeing that his apprentices are in danger, there is no reason not to help, so thinking about it, Ji Dao is also happy to accept to get into the incense burner.
Extremely willing to go together, Lu Youling really relaxed, but Qu Chengfeng locked himself in the room and refused to come out, but it made Lu Youling and Fang Chixiao unpredictable, Lu Youling kept persuading outside the door: "Go to see your father, why be so panicked, Chengfeng, open the door quickly!"
But no matter how Lu Youling shouted, Qu Chengfeng just refused to open the door, in the case of nothing to do, Fang Chixiao and Lu Youling had no choice but to slam the door open, the moment they entered the door, they saw Qu Chengfeng holding his head with both hands, curled up and hiding on the wooden couch against the wall, his upper and lower eyelids were glued together, his face was distorted, and his hair bun was loose, like a beggar shivering in the cold wind, Lu Youling saw Qu Chengfeng's demeanor for the first time, and he didn't feel a little distressed.
"Amu, what's wrong with Qu Chengfeng?"
"Brother Fang, it seems that he didn't go with me, I don't know why he didn't want to, maybe he couldn't bear his father to see his current appearance. ”
Fang Chixiao also sighed to show his understanding, "But if he doesn't go, how can we convince Qu Luotong?"
"I'll go with you!"
Someone behind him suddenly spoke, Lu Youling turned around and saw that it was Guo Ruolin, so he said with a blank face: "Why are you here?"
"This is the schoolhouse, why should I be here?"
"Did you hear what you just said?"
"Hear, don't you just want to go and see Qu Luotong? I'll go with you. ”
"You?" Fang Chi smiled and stared at Guo Ruolin suspiciously, "What's the use of you going?"
"Fang Sitian, the so-called one more person has one more person to take care of, don't you say?"
Lu Youling hurriedly pulled Guo Ruolin aside and said, "Ah Lin, this is not a trip to the suburbs, if you don't do it well, something will happen." ”
"Mu Sitian, if you take me there, I have a way to get Qu Luotong to agree to your request. ”
"Ah Lin, you don't know Qu Luotong, what can you do?"
"If you take me there, you'll understand. ”
After Guo Ruolin finished speaking, he laughed out loud and walked out of the school hall first, Fang Chixiao pointed to his back and asked, "This new disciple is really talking wildly, do you agree that he will go to Nanxiang with us?"
"Forget it, Brother Fang, he is also one of my friends, maybe he stayed in the temple and wanted to go out to breathe, so you can reluctantly take him with you. Lu Youling didn't know what was wrong with Guo Ruolin, he was completely different from the simple and honest Ah Lin in his impression, but seeing that he looked like he was swearing, Lu Youling couldn't bear to refuse him, so he had to plead with Fang Chixiao.
"Now, Amu, for your sake, I'll make an exception and take this kid along, but if something goes wrong, I'll take care of you at most, and he can only ask for more blessings!"
Lu Youling thought about it, and was glad to have brought the master by his side, if he really couldn't do it, the master could still protect him, so he agreed. (To be continued)
