Chapter 26: After the dust settles, is it calm?
When the battle came to an end, Lu Xing mobilized his remaining sword power and burned 504 corpses including Qi Mu's corpse with one sword. The sky was filled with dust and smoke, but it was better than leaving corpses scattered in the streets.
Lu Xing picked up the ink jade seal and the god-given sword on the ground and threw them to Xin Yi for safekeeping.
"Brother Lu, now that this matter has come to an end, San'er and I will leave first." Zhang Ming said with cupped hands.
Lu Xing appealed to stay, saying: "You might as well stay one night, and you and I can catch up on old times."
"Okay, okay, I have a lot of things to talk to Brother Lu..." Zhang Ming blocked Yan San's words before she could finish her words.
Zhang Ming said again: "Brother Lu, we have to return to Kyoto immediately to report this matter to the old man. I won't bother you anymore. When you come to the capital in the future, we can have a good time together."
Seeing that Lu Xing couldn't keep him, he stopped trying to persuade him, so he bowed and said goodbye.
Yan San cried with a sad face. She took three steps and turned back. Brother Lu was blocked by Zhang Ming before he could even take his mouth out.
Lu Xing watched Zhang Ming and Yan San leave his sight, and then said to Chu Chu: "Thank you for your hard work, third uncle. You and I will go back to Zhao Nanxuan."
With that said, Lu Xing helped Li Rui onto the carriage, and he himself, dressed in white and red silk, walked with Chu Chu.
Xin Yi used the riding whip in his hand hard and drove the four horses together. The carriage turned around and set off again, much faster than when they came.
"The prince is very powerful. At the age of only twenty-one, I am afraid he can equal the immortals who were banished thousands of years ago." Chu Chu walked with his hands behind his back, his clothes were ragged, but he could not hide his sharp edge.
A smile appeared on Lu Xing's face, full of vigor, and he said: "Third uncle, you are so ridiculous. My sister reached the realm of great master with the ice-cold sword intent. Now that I have stepped out of the Tao realm, my sword intent is weak.
You can't use the avenue easily."
"Well, the prince still needs to be recuperated, but the realm has arrived. It is only a matter of time for the prince to regain control of the Tao realm." Chu Chu said.
Restoration... Lu Xing suddenly remembered Xiao Yu's complaint last night, "Young Master has gone too far. Xiao Yu's cultivation has been squeezed dry by Young Master."
The two of them chatted one after another, and there was another scene in the carriage.
"Thank you very much," Li Rui sat upright, lowered his head and put a handkerchief into the wound on his wrist, and said, "Ying, I heard you asked Chu Chu to help me earlier."
Wei Ying frowned slightly, hiding her right hand in her sleeve, rubbing the silk with her injured index finger, feeling a faint sting. When she heard Li Rui's words, she slowly raised her eyebrows, with a smile on her lips, like a pale peach petal.
"You're welcome, you should thank Mr. Chu. He got hurt a lot in order to protect you and me."
As he said that, Wei Ying looked at Li Rui like a childish eagle and said: "I am not as good as you. I wear red clothes, and even the young master wears red silk. The old master has passed away, and there is a new master..."
The words were like a sneer, causing Li Rui to take a breath. She raised her eyes tremblingly, wearing red clothes and lightly licking her red lips.
"Ying, why do you say this? You should know that I have no intention of fighting with you."
Fight! Wei Ying's eyes became angry, she raised her jade neck slightly, and her voice was cold: "As time goes by, you will see people's hearts. You should remember that the prince is kind."
"You..." Li Rui raised her head and looked at Wei Ying. Their eyes collided, like needles facing each other, without giving in.
"Ouch!" A thick gasp covered the whispers of the two girls in the carriage.
The carriage stopped, and Xin Yi stood in the front room, wiping his sweat with a clean handkerchief. The handkerchief was embroidered with a flying swallow, which was a gift from Wei Ying.
A group of scholars blocked the way ahead, led by Chu Xiuming.
"The wise man Chu Xiuming, Prince Xie came to the rescue and allowed the people of Jiacheng to survive Qi Mu's poisonous hands." Chu Xiuming bent down and held his hands, and the nineteen Confucian disciples behind him also bent and held their hands.
Lu Xing and Chu Chu looked at each other and smiled, but they were laughing at different things. Chu Chu was laughing at the fact that Confucians always like to make empty airs, but Lu Xing really liked such empty airs.
"Chu Xiuming, you should know that Qi Mu was once a disciple of White Deer Academy. Are you sure you want to congratulate me after I killed him?" Lu Xing asked. This question was to test the academy's disciples' views on Qi Mu.
Chu Xiuming still maintained the salute of cupping his hands and said calmly: "Qi Mu is murderous. He was expelled from the academy in his early years. What the prince did was to eliminate harm."
"Okay," Lu Xing quickly stepped forward, helped Chu Xiuming up, and said, "You don't need to be polite. It's my honor for Lu Xing to gain your approval."
Everyone straightened up, and Chu Xiuming smiled and said: "In the future, please ask the prince to move it twenty miles north of the city, and then I will open the Wen Dao ruins."
"Thank you, Brother Chu." Lu Xing held Chu Xiuming's arms with both hands and said sincerely.
The cultural relics have always been the private property of the academy. In the past, it was not easy for the royal family to come to ask for a quota. Chu Xiuming allowed Lu Xing to enter directly without taking the assessment, which shows his sincerity. If Lu Xing's reputation will be in the world in the future
Damn it, Chu Xiuming will be criticized for giving away the quota of relics.
After Lu Xing said goodbye to Chu Xiuming and the others, the carriage set off again.
Along the way again, there were two completely different whispers across the curtains, which made Xin Yi confused and confused. It was probably the first time he knew that there were so many flowers and flowers in this world.
Feeling depressed, Xin Yi waved his riding whip vigorously, and the four horses moved faster and faster.
Feeling the footsteps of the horses behind him, Chu Chu was slightly startled: With this fool's understanding, how could he be able to improve his control of power so much in just one day? Could it be that fools are really blessed——
According to Nanxuan, those merchants who knew the battle situation early had already made a fuss. As for the nobles who came to participate in the selection of Wen Dao ruins, after the battle, they followed Zhang Ming and Yan San and left Jiacheng. For the nobles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,
He said that if he got involved with the prince of the North, his future career would be extremely difficult. The capital has always been hostile to the North, and no one knew that His Majesty had Kyushu in mind.
"Here it comes, here it comes," the eyes of some merchants were sharper than those of the waiters, and they saw the frame from a distance.
At this moment, in a back room relatively close to the pharmacy, two women were tossing back and forth in the steaming smoke.
"Xiao Yu, pour the medicine into the porcelain bowl to cool down. Hurry up, the young master is coming soon."
"I understand, sister Dan, don't be impatient. The medicine stove is too hot."
"Oh, I'll come, I'll come. We're both sisters. Even though we know that the young master is weak, we still have sex with him every day."
"What did Sister Dan say? It's better to come and help."
The two of them worked hard, and finally a bowl of tonic decoction was ready. They poured the decoction into a white porcelain bowl. The soup was thick and yellow in color, exuding a faint fragrance of pear flowers. This was the pollen Liu Danyang specially added to cover it up.
The original taste of the decoction.
…
After half a day's work, from sunrise to sunset, the frame finally returned to Zhaonanxuan.
A group of people got off the carriage. Except for Xin Yi who wanted to park the carriage to the stable, the rest of them walked towards the gate.
"Congratulations, sir," Xiao Yu walked out first and took Lu Xing's hand.
Later, Liu Danyang held a wooden plate with a bowl of white porcelain soup waiting on it, and said respectfully: "Young Master, please try it quickly. It's all the wishes of Sister Xiaoyu."
The fragrance of osmanthus? What is this, given to me? Could it be that it was learned from the martial arts saint who warmed the wine and killed Hua Xiong?
Lu Xing murmured in his heart, and drank the decoction in the white porcelain under the attentive eyes of the two maids.
The smell... didn't taste like wine, but it had a fishy smell. Before Lu Xing had time to think about it, he heard the merchants around him express their thanks politely, saying that he had dissolved the blood cloud and saved them from danger.
Lu Xing was not polite and went up to them one by one. He told them to go to the north to do more business and he would take care of them.
Xuejin City was a fortress city that controlled almost all channels of trade with the northern barbarians. They exchanged cattle, sheep, and horses for salt, iron, and porcelain from the south. If there were dozens more merchants coming to the north, Lu Xing would be very happy.
Lu Xing also paid special attention to a few grain merchants, letting them rest assured that they could carry out their business in the north, and he would be their backstage.
This food is not urgently needed in the Northland. The Northland began to implement the farming system three years ago, and various mountainous areas were transformed into terraced fields by the army. There has never been a food shortage in the entire Northland in the past few years. Lu Xing wants to bring these grains.
Shang Luzi wanted to sell it to the Northern Barbarian Royal Court. Winter was coming soon, and some tribes in the Northern Barbarians were expected to be in a food shortage situation.
Lu Xing's move to take care of the grain merchants was naturally discovered by some attentive merchants. They also had some thoughts. When they saw the beautiful Wei Ying and Li Rui behind Lu Xing, they knew that these two women from the Central Plains had already lost their lives.
He figured it out, and then he set his sights on Yangzhou Shou Ma and Xiyu Meiji.
It is estimated that after this incident, Beidi Crown Prince Lu Xing's love for beauty will spread among the merchants of Kyushu.
At night, Lu Xing, Chu Chu, Xiao Yu and Liu Danyang gathered at the table. Originally, Xiao Yu and Liu Danyang were maids and were not qualified to sit down. However, Lu Xing had been accustomed to eating with Xiao Yu as early as in Longhu Mountain, so he
The two of them sat down together. As for Chu Chu, he had been wandering around the world in his early years, so he naturally had no cumbersome rules. For him, more people can have more fun.
If we talk about Wei Ying and Li Rui, they are not from Xuejin City, and they are not even Lu Xing's maids. If Lu Xing really asked them to stay and have dinner together, then Chu Chu would probably have to report to the elders.
Added the sentence "Lu Xing was partial to beauty and lost his mind".
"Congratulations, Prince, for finding out the murder of Sun Qi can be regarded as resolving a problem for Xuejin City." Chu Chu raised his wine glass and saluted Lu Xing.
Xiao Yu and Liu Danyang looked at each other, raised their wine glasses, and said, "Respect the young master. If the young master kills Qi Mu, he will be famous all over the world."
"I am not the only one to take the credit. Sun Qi's murder would have been impossible to investigate without any of the people sitting here." Lu Xing chuckled and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
Credit? Xiao Yu is a little confused, her face is red, and she is counting with her fingers under the table: Sister Dan is the dish, helping the young master to make suggestions; Uncle Chu is the martial artist on the top of the mountain, settling many things for the young master with his fists; what about me? Mine
What is the credit?
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Xing's big hand took hold of Xiao Yu's left hand from under the table. He turned his head and said with a smile in her ear: "I'll stay at your place tonight. How about that?"
Xiao Yu's face was congested, and her right hand wanted to break open the fingers of Lu Xing's left hand, and whispered: "Sir, I'm having my period..."
Ah! Lu Xing had a frustrated look on his face, lamented Kung Fu, and had a few more glasses with Chu Chu.
Drink heavily and eat meat. In Jiacheng, where winter is about to begin, the mutton-boiled meat wrapped in broth is extremely delicious.
