"I still go there alone, I am sad and regretful." [Pujin River Pavilion]
The land of Shu has been the most prosperous land in the world since ancient times. Luxurious comparisons have flourished. Merchants and wealthy people are rich in goods and clothing. Even the vehicles used for travel must be careful without overstepping the rules.
Glamorous.
Although he is a guest in a foreign country, Lai Min has to follow the local customs here. When he comes and visits, he always rides in a carriage and has knights in front and behind him. All of his trades are provided by the Wu family. In the past few months, Lai Min has used
The reputation of his Jiangxia Lai family and this high-profile battle have made him come and go among various families in Shu County. He is not afraid that Mrs. Lu will do anything secretly. After all, this is a Shu County where powerful people gather, not a place where there are many followers of the Five Pecks of Rice.
Berkshire.
The Xuan car carried Lai Min back to the mansion donated by Liu Yan. He had just changed into casual clothes, washed his face, and was about to take a good rest. He heard the tinkling of the curtain hooks. When he looked up, he saw a seven or eight-year-old child.
He opened the door curtain and stood by the door. The child was not as fair as the pampered scholar, but he had a healthy and normal complexion, an ordinary appearance, and a pair of big and bright eyes, like two black pearls.
The toddler pursed his lips, met Lai Min's gaze and said, "Sir!"
"Ah Lu." Lai Min called the other party's nickname affectionately and waved to him: "Come here and talk."
This young boy's name is Lu Yi, and he is the only son of Liu Yan's old guard Lu Chang. Ever since he became a disciple of Lai Min, Lu Yi often went to his house to listen to his teachings. At first, Lai Min accepted Lu Yi just for routine.
They had to deal with it and give Liu Yan and Lu Chang an explanation, but later they discovered that although this child Lu Yi didn't like to talk, he was actually a person who showed off his talents and was a rare diamond.
From this, Min became more and more interested in him, and gradually treated him as his real student and planned to teach him everything he had. However, unfortunately, he found that Lu Yi didn't seem to have much interest in Confucian classics. Instead, he liked ""
"Guanzi" and other theories. This made Lai Min feel a little complicated. He didn't know whether he should continue to force him to study the classics or find another famous teacher for him, so as not to live up to such a gift.
"Sir, Mr. Fei is here." Lu Yi opened the curtain and shyly took a step inside. The young man's clear voice sounded like the tinkling of rain outside.
Just as he was talking, Fei Boren, who had gray hair on his temples, stepped into the room leisurely. He and Lai Min often drove together in the car these days, and they had long been informal with each other, so they were not among the Cangtou in the door. Fei Boren was also wearing a uniform.
He was wearing casual clothes. When he saw Lai Min preparing to read a book, he smiled relaxedly and said, "It's so refreshing to be able to calm down and read in such a heavy rain!"
"It's raining heavily. Even ordinary people can't leave their houses and have nothing to do, let alone me?" Lai Min put the letter aside and replied with a smile.
Fei Boren took off his soaked silk shoes, stepped on the wooden floor with his bare feet, walked straight to the guest table where Lai Min was sitting and sat down: "I just came from the envoy's residence, there is something, I wonder if you have heard about it
Is there any more?”
"I just found out about it not long ago." Lai Min pointed to Lu Yi, who was waiting aside and was exchanging glances with Fei Yi who came in behind Fei Boren, and gestured: "Thanks to Lu Gong, who can communicate internally and externally on his behalf, otherwise, I'll wait for you
It’s hard to even meet the envoy.”
Lu Yi stopped arguing with Fei Yi and immediately replied: "The king of the family is diligent in his royal duties. These are what he should do."
Fei Boren just watched the little actions between the two children, Fei Yi and Lu Yi, under the eyes of adults. He really didn't expect that the active and lively Fei Yi would actually play with the quiet and taciturn Lu Yi.
You have to laugh at it and don't say anything.
It was Lai Min who said, "There is no need to serve here. You two can go down and rest first."
Fei Yi responded immediately, thanked Lu Yi, and then pulled him out. The two of them stood under the eaves to watch the rain. Fei Yi may have had a special feeling after meeting Lu Yi because there were few people of his age around him.
He was friendly, not to mention that he was a fellow Jingzhou native, so he said a lot of things about Jingzhou's scenery and people beside him. Until Lu Yi became impatient and said stiffly: "I want to go back."
"No, it's boring to be alone." Fei Yi quickly stopped him and said, "How about you go out with me to find someone?"
"Why should I accompany you?" Lu Yi frowned. He had always been puzzled by this matter. He and Fei Yi were not familiar with each other. The other party mentioned that he was from a powerful family in Jiangxia. If he wanted to make friends, why should he involve someone from a humble family background?
Himself? Speaking of which, since he became a disciple of Lai Min, there are indeed many powerful disciples who would never look at them in the past to befriend him these days. Is this Fei Yi one of them?
Fei Yi gestured with his eyes to where Lai Min and others were. Lu Yi knew that the other party wanted to solve problems for Lai Min and others in private. Although Lai Min was well-known personally, his actions were eye-catching and he still had some problems.
There were many inconveniences. If these children were the first to make contact, there might be unexpected conveniences, so Lu Yi asked: "Who are you looking for?"
"Dong Gong's son, Dong Yun." Although Fei Yi was young, he had a very upright and upright temperament. He seemed unaware of Lu Yi's inner activities. He said to himself: "It doesn't matter if you don't know him. Just come and meet him."
Okay. Dong Gong's identity is not ordinary. His ancestors were originally from Jiangzhou, Bajun. Later they moved to Zhijiang, Nanjun. In the past two years, they led the clan to move westward back to Shu. You must also know that Yizhou has always had people from other places and locals.
The distinction between scholars, ww. This Duke Dong can speak to both sides."
Although Fei Yi was young, he followed his father Fei Boren all the time, and was aware of many secret incidents, so his mind was naturally precocious compared to his peers. Lü Yi knew that Fei Yi's search for Dong Yun was a lie, so he took the opportunity to test Dong He.
Attitude is the real thing. Through Lai Min's efforts during this period, many powerful people have leaned towards him. Although Dong He is not the most important, if his attitude can be said to be true, it is the icing on the cake.
"So, the imperial court is currently setting up troops outside the Yangping Pass, and it is difficult to advance even an inch?" Fei Boren thought for a while and said: "But judging from the fact that the imperial army easily defeated King Di who relied on the danger of the mountains before, the imperial court's deployment this time
The generals who came here are all elites, and no matter how dangerous Yangping is, the Keping Pass is just a matter of days."
Lai Min raised his upper body towards Fei Boren and said: "The imperial court is now rushing to attack the city and fight against the thieves. I will also hurry up in Shu."
"That's exactly the reason." Fei Boren cupped his hands and said, "But I don't know what progress has been made in Cinda these days?"
"The Zhang family, the Du family, the Jianwei Zhang family, the Fei family, the Yang family and other powerful people in Shu County heard that the imperial court was excited and learned about Liu Shijun's current health. They all wanted to take action for a long time, but before the soldiers came, they just waited and watched. Now the imperial court has already
If we mobilize troops in Hanzhong, they will be able to enter Yizhou in the south within a few months at most. It's time for them to make a decision." Lai Min knew that the army was hundreds of miles away at Yangping Pass, so he was more confident: "If it's still a lie, it's too late.
, If you shirk the blame and are perfunctory, you will regret it later."
"At this time, we need to inform them earlier. In a few days, after the news from Hanzhong comes, more people will take the initiative to visit." Fei Boren nodded. If Liu Yan hadn't been sick and disabled, he would have come here.
Since he is an upright member of the imperial court, he will not discuss with Lai Min and rush to show his sincerity without fighting.
