Chapter 5 Flowers are not flowers

Tian Zihua asked again: "Why do you, a weak scholar, risk your life to attack the Blue Wolf King?"

Lu Yunli: "Back to my predecessors, my family is Lu, my father was originally the owner of Lujiazhai eight hundred miles west of Bingma County, did your predecessors know that Lujiazhai was slaughtered by the Blue Wolf King six years ago?"

Tian Zihua: "I know, it is said that none of the 800 people in Lujiazhai were spared. ”

Lu Yunli: "I was not in the village at the time, but I had a private meeting with a good person in the city and was able to escape. ”

Tian Zihua: "So you are determined to take revenge." ”

Lu Yunli: "Exactly, when I returned to Lu Zhai and found that the Blue Wolf King had not found the real underground vault of my family, I took out the gold, and for six years, I spent a lot of money looking for the masters of the world to help me take revenge." ”

Tian Zihua: "Then why did you send the head of the blue wolf king here after you took revenge?"

Lu Yunli: "The revenge has been avenged, and I have all my money, why not take the head to seek an official position." ”

After listening to this, Tian Zihua only felt that the young man in front of him was answering with him, and he didn't know what to ask for a while, so he shouted loudly to the back of the hall: "Take the cigarette, bring my flower wine." Then he turned his head to Lu Yunli and said, "This flower wine is made from seven kinds of flowers, among which the sleeping fire lily is the most rare." It is best to drink it when it is stored in the cellar for a year, when the floral aroma and wine aroma are overflowing, and if it is too long, the floral aroma will be lighter, and then it will be the same as ordinary wine. Today, when you meet such a teenager, you must drink a few more glasses. ”

Lu Yunli thanked him again and said, "Thank you seniors for your appreciation." ”

At this time, a maid dressed in white and wearing heavy makeup but could not stop her emaciated and haggard face came out and entered the hall with flower wine in her hand. Divide the wine glasses of the four people, fill them with flower wine, and then retreat.

Lu Yun thought, "What a poor girl." ”

Kong Hao raised his wine glass and said to Lu Yunli, "Now that the blue wolf clan has no leader, what do you think?" took a sip of flower wine and put the wine glass aside.

Lu Yunli also raised his wine glass and took a sip, only to feel the fragrance of flowers lingering in his mouth, put the wine glass aside, and said: "I heard that the Blue Wolf King has six sons, but this matter happened suddenly, and it must not be explained who will succeed the Blue Wolf King, so they must have infighting." ”

Kong Hao said to Tian Zihua: "What does the teacher think?"

Tian Zihua: "Lu Yunli is right, at this time, there will be chaos within the entire blue wolf. ”

Kong Hao: "Then how about we send troops at this time? Take advantage of their civil strife and annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”

Lu Yunli: "The prince can't." ”

Kong Hao asked, "Why not?"

Lu Yunli: "If the prince attacks now, due to external pressure, the blue wolf clan will definitely be united, although there is no Zabusu to lead, but their iron horse scimitar should not be underestimated." If the prince does not move, the blue wolf clan will definitely have a fierce internal struggle for the throne of the blue wolf king, and when they are completely broken internally, they will attack, and the prince can enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Lu Yunli's words were very favored by Kong Hao.

Tian Zihua also agreed loudly: "With such a strategy, this young man will become a great weapon in the future." ”

Lu Yunli raised the flower wine and said to Tian Zihua and Kong Hao: "Thank you seniors and the prince for appreciation." With that, he drained the wine in the glass.

Tian Zihua and Kong Hao also did it.

Kong Hao said to Lu Yunli: "You stay in my mansion first, and then I will discuss it with my teacher to see what official position is suitable for you." ”

Lu Yunli drank another drink: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Kong Hao: "Don't leave tonight, when the teacher came, he brought a fat sheep, so I will drink it tonight and have a good drink." ”

Although Wang Rong didn't interject, he saw that King Beiling was happy and felt that he had achieved his goal, so he kept drinking with him.

The dinner was a roasted half-cooked whole sheep, fixed with an iron rod, set up on a charcoal brazier in the middle of the hall, and a maid kept shaking the handle on the iron frame to make the sheep roast evenly. The sheep was very fat, and after a short time of roasting, the sheep fat continued to drip down, dripping onto the charcoal fire below to make a "squeaking" sound. Each of the four of them had a sharp knife in their hands and cut off the mutton on the roast lamb piece by piece to eat.

Kong Hao was anxious to ask the Son of Heaven for merit in Jincheng, and when everyone was eating the whole sheep happily, he had already ordered someone to send the head of the Blue Wolf King to Jincheng on a fast horse.

During the banquet, the four of them talked about many questions such as the art of war and the defense of the border fortress, and Lu Yunli answered them one by one, and Kong Hao, the king of Beiling, was even more happy, and did not disperse until late at night.

It was already very late at night, and Lu Yunli was already drunk, but he could still tell the direction back to the inn. The stumbling steps felt as if he was stepping on cotton, and Mo Xin simply put it in the Beiling Palace, and he didn't want the people in the palace to notice the knife. Wang Rong was already drunk and unconscious, and was carried back to the barracks by several entourages. Lu Yunli walked for a long time before walking back to the inn, and when he returned to the room, he fell into bed and thought about the next step, and fell asleep unconsciously.

The next morning, I was woken up by the sound of a knock on the door, and the shopkeeper outside called inside: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, the prince sent someone to wait for you downstairs." ”

Lu Yunli opened the door with sleepy eyes, saw a smiling face, looked at Lu Yunli respectfully, and held a basin of face wash water in his hand. Seeing that his service was so thorough, Lu Yunli casually rewarded him with a few pieces of broken silver, and said, "I won't return this room, I'll keep it for me, and I'll give you the money when I come back." The shopkeeper hurriedly said that he had turned around and went downstairs. Lu Yunli hurriedly washed his face and went downstairs.

The one waiting at the door was the angry Zhang Wei yesterday, and Lu Yunli bowed his hand: "Brother Zhang has been waiting for a long time. ”

Zhang Xie was a man of few words, and only said: "Come with me, the prince has already gotten up at this time." After speaking, he strode out of the door, Lu Yunli followed behind, and seeing that this person was not easy to speak, he didn't say anything.

Without saying anything all the way, I entered the Beiling Palace, and was taken straight to a side hall, the room was very large, with a large table in the middle, and books and copywriters were piled up all around. At this time, there were already three people in the room, all of whom were no more than thirty years old, and the most striking thing was that there was one of them, with fair skin, handsome appearance, always smiling, and the most special thing was the dark blue eyes.

Lu Yunli made a gesture to the three of them and said, "Under Lu Yunli, I have just arrived. The three men returned their salutes.

At this time, Kong Hao and Tian Zihua, the kings of Beiling, came in, Kong Hao patted Lu Yunli on the shoulder and said, "This is Lu Yunli, who took the head of the Blue Wolf King, and today he entered the staff and worked with you." ”

The three men responded together: "Yes." ”

Kong Hao said to Lu Yunli: "Old Master Tian has been in the palace for the longest time, and he is also the head of the staff, if you have anything you don't understand in the future, ask him." ”

Lu Yunli nodded and said, "Yes." ”

After Kong Hao finished explaining, he left alone, leaving Tian Zihua here, and Tian Zihua introduced the three people here to Lu Yunli one by one, Jiang Musheng, Li Bo, and the blue-eyed Hua Feihua.

After a cursory introduction, Tian Zihua said: "Jiang Musheng, continue to search for the city today, Hua Feihua still inspects the interior of the palace, and by the way, take Lu Yunli to familiarize himself with the environment here, and many rules of the palace are also taught." As he spoke, he took out an iron plate in his arms and handed it to Lu Yunli, saying: "This iron card is used to enter and exit the palace, so keep it safe, it is a big crime to lose it." Lu Yunli nodded yes, took the iron card, and held it in his arms.

After the arrangement, Lu Yunli said to Tian Zihua: "I had a knife on my back before entering the palace yesterday, which was used for self-defense, and it was detained by Zhang Guard, how can I retrieve it?"

Tian Zihua said to Hua Feihua: "You go and help him do this." Hua Feihua immediately agreed and took Lu Yun out of the door.

The two went straight to get the knife, Hua Feihua gave him left and right guidance, talking about the rules and taboos of the palace, and Lu Yunli wrote them down one by one. Walking to the guard, he first saw a smiling face, Hua Feihua stepped forward and said, "Second Brother Zhang, this is called Lu Yunli, and he is the newly recruited staff of the prince. ”

The second brother Zhang, who was full of smiles, said to Lu Yunli: "Mr. Lu, my name is Zhang Le, and I will guard the main gate with my eldest brother Zhang Wei, and if there is anything in the future, just open your mouth." ”

Lu Yunli replied: "Second Brother Zhang is polite, I brought a knife when I came in yesterday and stored it here." ”

After listening to this, Zhang Le turned around and approached a small room on the side, took out the ink heart wrapped in rags, handed it to Lu Yunli, and said, "It's a pity that such a good knife is wrapped like this." ”

Lu Yunli took Mo Xin and said, "I don't know anything about swords, and I don't know what a good knife is, it's just a gift from a friend to defend myself." ”

Hua Feihua: "Thank you, Second Brother Zhang, we have other things to do, so let's leave first." Without waiting for Zhang Le to speak, he pulled Lu Yunli away.

First take Lu Yunli to an assigned hut, in the corner of the palace, the room is not big, only a wooden bed with a brand-new futon on top, an old square table, and an oil lamp on it. There are two chairs at the table, a washbasin, a hanger and other daily necessities.

Hua Feihua asked Lu Yunli: "Brother Lu, look at what is still missing, and I'll buy it again." ”

Lu Yunli is not a picky person, and he can't think of what is missing, so he said: "There is no longer anything missing, Brother Hua is so polite, it makes me a little embarrassed." ”

Hua Feihua: "You and I will be brothers under the same roof in the future, why bother to say anything polite." ”

Lu Yunli: "I left in a hurry in the morning, many things are still in the inn, I have to go back and get one." ”

Hua Feihua: "You can't take it alone, I'll go with you." So saying, he walked outside the palace.

Lu Yunli stopped Hua Feihua and said, "There is only a small burden, I understand Brother Hua's kindness, I invite you to drink tonight." ”

Hua Feihua saw that he didn't want to let him go, and he didn't insist, so he said that he would go early and return early, and his brother would pick up the wind for you at night. Lu Yunli nodded and walked out of the palace alone.

Lu Yunli returned to the inn alone, took out a dagger, jumped onto the beam, picked a thick and wide beam, used the dagger to dig out a deep groove, and hid the scimitar full of gems and four rings into the groove of the beam, which was very hidden. Once you've done this, clean up the wood chips from the ground.

Tidy up the clothes, go out of the room, find the shopkeeper directly, and say: "The order of the King of Beiling, this room is chartered for two months, no one is allowed to enter, the room money is indispensable to yours, I will come back from time to time to check, the things in the room are not allowed to move, if I find out that you still sell this room to others, be careful that the prince wants your head." After speaking, he took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, who saw that the silver was enough for six months, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly nodded and agreed.
