Chapter 729: Luo Temple: One encounter with Lu Yu mistakenly for life!
——As graceful as a startled giant, as graceful as a wandering dragon.
This is the most intuitive feeling for the younger woman in front of me.
As for the other woman, it is obvious that they are a pair of sisters, their facial features are so delicate and beautiful.
My sister's skin is better than snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she looks at her, she has an elegant and noble temperament that makes people take pictures of her, making her feel ashamed and not daring to blaspheme.
However, this touch of cold pride and agility is quite captivating, and it makes people unable to help but dream about it.
This woman is none other than Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family.
The younger sister is wearing a white dress and a white skirt, and three thousand black hairs as black as ink are draped down like a waterfall, hanging down to her slender waist.
That stunning face is like a flower fairy in the mountains who doesn't care about worldly things, full of moving ethereal beauty.
His eyes moved, and what he had in his eyes was just the gentle breeze that penetrated his bones, as if the words "competitive and competitive" were insulated from him.
This kind of woman can only be described with eight characters - beautiful, refined and unparalleled elegance!
Who else could this woman be besides Zhen Luo (Zhen Ji), the youngest daughter of the Zhen family?
"My little girl Zhen Luo has met your majesty, her brother-in-law, and all the ministers..."
Zhen Luo opened her mouth...
The white teeth are like emerald shells on the seaside, the dimples are like small pools, the charming eyes are swaying, and the faint fragrance of jasmine exudes endless youthful vitality.
only…
Brother-in-law?
Yang Xiu and Sima Yi were startled by this title. They looked at Lu Yu subconsciously... thinking that the brother-in-law Zhen Luo was talking about must be His Majesty, but then they thought it was wrong, because Zhen Luo... mentioned "I have met your Majesty, I have met my brother-in-law"
…",That…
Subconsciously, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi looked at Guo Jia in unison.
Sure enough, Guo Jia looked complacent. He lifted the wine gourd around his waist and took a sip...
Zhen Jiang snatched the wine gourd and said, "In front of His Majesty, husband, please don't be rude!"
This statement...is true!
At this moment... Yang Xiu and Sima Yi looked at each other and gave Guo Jia a thumbs up. They had heard for a long time... that the five daughters of the Zhen family were extremely young... but they never thought that this eldest sister would be picked up by Guo Fengxiao. Guo Jia... Guo Fengxiao
, it really lives up to its name, it has something to offer.
"Mrs. Zhen, don't blame Fengxiao. I have given Fengxiao permission to drink in front of the palace. He is the only one in the entire Wei Dynasty who has this privilege. It is not considered a disgrace in front of the palace!" Lu Yu explained with a smile.
Zhen Jiang saluted Lu Yu, "Your Majesty is too kind to your husband, which makes him so ignorant of etiquette!"
It is written in many novels that the Zhen family is the home of merchants.
In fact, the Zhen family is not a family of merchants. The father of the five daughters of the Zhen family, Zhen Yi, is as good as Cai Ling. The Zhen family is a typical family of officials. The five daughters of the Zhen family have been educated and sensible since they were young, and they attach great importance to etiquette...
"Let's not talk about this anymore..." Lu Yu said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhen, Miss Zhen... you might as well tell me the origin of this 'sand table picture'!"
"It's like this..." This time it was Zhen Luo's turn to speak, "Five years ago, the Wei Dynasty had a trade relationship with Bashu. My sister and I took the lead in sending a caravan to communicate with Bashu... Of course, as merchants of the Wei Dynasty, the Zhen family's caravan will
They are closely monitored by Bashu, especially in the cities and counties, but...Bashu is too lacking in materials, especially the Di people!"
"There are a large number of Di people in Bashu, and they help us sell goods to all parts of Bashu, especially those in the mountains... It is for this reason that we sent merchants to draw all the topographic maps of Bashu! Including... the mountains
The armory in it includes granaries, towers built by Bashu, catapults and other places!”
Zhen Luo spoke softly and looked weak and sad, but the content of her words shocked Sima Yi and Yang Xiu.
Is it possible to draw the most accurate topographic map of Bashu through commercial means?
Penetration in this way? How to defend against it?
Can…
Yang Xiu rolled his eyes and questioned.
"That's not right. Even through selling goods, we can reach many barren lands in Bashu. But on this sandbox... the number of troops stationed in various places in Bashu and the number of troops stationed in each city and county are also clearly explained.
The defensive strength is also clearly revealed. These...can't be seen through the simple process of selling goods, right?"
"Indeed..." This time it was Zhen Jiang who spoke, "If it were just us, we might not be able to do it, but... there are also Di people and people from various ethnic groups in Bashu. They have suffered from these 'invaders' for a long time! No matter it is
The Dongzhou faction in the past, or the current Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, are all foreign invaders. What they care about is their own interests, and these interests cannot be enjoyed by the original Yizhou people, let alone the Di people.
They seem to be being squeezed infinitely...so..."
Zhen Jiang paused...
Guo Jia took up his words, "So, when the Zhen family's goods are sold to them, once we go back and forth, and everyone gets acquainted with each other, they will talk a lot about the customs and customs of the Wei Dynasty, the living conditions of the people here, and also mentioned
His Majesty's decrees, including the imperial examinations, the abolition of the poll tax, and the sharing of land into acres... all of these have made the ethnic groups in Yizhou yearn for them. Over time, in Yizhou... the Zhen family has become more than just a businessman, and cooperates with the Five Pecks of Rice Sect... They
It has become a huge organization, collecting all the intelligence from Bashu and reporting it back!"
I see…
Hearing this, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu showed huge expressions of disbelief.
Who would have thought that in the past five years... His Majesty's forces have actually penetrated into Bashu territory, and these infiltrating forces... are more than just Cao Adou!
this…
Isn’t it just “attacking the heart”?
"So!" Lu Yu finally spoke, "The sand table in front of me is completely drawn based on the topographic map of Bashu. I plan to move it to Chang'an and coordinate and direct the decisive battle with Bashu nearby!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty..." Sima Yi and Yang Xiu said in unison.
Lu Yu's words continued, "Zhongda, you are in charge of the Litchi Road this time. Your opponents are Zhao Yun, Wang Ping and Ma Su... I don't have much to say, except for two points. Don't overestimate Ma Su, and don't underestimate Ma Su."
It’s Wang Ping!”
As he spoke, Lu Yu pointed to the narrow lychee path in the sand table...
Because of Zhen Luo's explanation, today's sand table... looks much more reassuring.
And among them…
There are three places where branches can lead…
Detouring to Micang Road and Zitong respectively, who would know these...if they weren't the Di people who have lived in these high mountains since childhood?
"I dare not disobey the Holy Ming, nor dare I humiliate my sect!" Sima Yi held his hand.
Lu Yu's words turned to Yang Xiu again, "Jian Junsi has a great responsibility. Zilong went to Lizhi Road, and all contact with the Gan family depends on Jian Junsi! The Gan family is the sharpest blade I have buried in Bashu!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have made arrangements." Yang Xiu handed over his hand.
Finally, Lu Yu turned his attention to Guo Jia, "In my opinion, Jinniu Road, Lychee Road, and Micang Road are just small fights. What can really decide this decisive battle is..."
Lu Yu's fingers crossed from the Jinniu Road, to the Lychee Road, to the Micang Road... Finally, he rowed along the Motian Ridge in Chengdu to the extremely steep and towering "Motian Ridge"...
"Fengxiao..." Lu Yu's words became more serious, "After five years of training, I will leave this special battalion of more than 100 people to you. However, I would like to recommend one person to you. In this special battalion,
There is a most outstanding young man named Jiang Wei who can be of great use!"
call…
After saying this, the whole house fell into silence.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards Guo Jia...
It’s not the “up-and-coming” Jiang Wei recommended by His Majesty...
But... His Majesty has been planning for a long time. This most outstanding special battalion, this most dangerous "Yinping Road", this most, most, most... most important task, is it still left to Guo Jia?
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be flattered...
But Guo Jia, "Haha..." he laughed, "Your Majesty promised me that after conquering Bashu, I will allow you to take your beloved wife with you... resign from office and travel around the mountains and rivers! And... Your Majesty can't miss the promise of thousands of jars of wine."
!”

"Ha ha…"
Guo Jia said this... Lu Yu smiled and said, "Are you also following Wang Jian's example during the Warring States Period? Before even setting off on the expedition, you started negotiating terms with me..."
"How can we do it without talking about it?" Guo Jia said with emotion: "In the past, the King of Qin gave Wang Jian an army of 400,000, which was a gift of wealth and life to him. Now, your Majesty has entrusted this special battalion to me. Its power to penetrate behind enemy lines is no less than 400,000."
With the army, don’t I have to follow Wang Jian’s example and ask for a thousand jars of fine wine from His Majesty?”
"Haha..." Lu Yu laughed, "Thousands of jars of fine wine are not enough, at least ten thousand jars of wine are enough!"
"Then it's settled..." Guo Jia's grin widened.
Zhen Jiang on the side sighed "Alas", but then she thought of Zhen Luo and looked at her faintly...
at this time.
"That's it for today..." Lu Yu waved his hand, "The specific arrangements will be made when I arrive in Chang'an! Everyone, please brace yourself, the decisive battle has begun!"
"Here!"
Yang Xiu, Sima Yi, and Guo Jia handed over their hands, while Zhen Jiang and Zhen Luo bowed and saluted... The group of people slowly retreated.
But... the moment Zhen Luo stepped out of the "Tai Chi Hall", Lu Yu's words came out.
"Miss Zhen, stay..."
Well…
This sentence made Zhen Jiang and Zhen Luo stop at the same time. Zhen Jiang looked at Zhen Luo meaningfully, as if he had something to tell her...
Zhen Luo gritted her teeth and turned around to meet Lu Yu's breathtaking gaze.
"gone…"
Guo Jia patted Zhen Jiang on the back, and they exited the Tai Chi Hall.
For a time, only Lu Yu and Zhen Luo were left in this large palace...
call…
Breathing out a heavy breath, Zhen Luo could feel her own heartbeat...
And with the sound of "tapping" footsteps, Lu Yu had already walked around the "sand table" and walked in front of her.
I don’t know whether it’s because of nervousness or other reasons, but a few strands of Zhen Luo’s three thousand blue hairs look a little messy on the temples...
However, Emperor Lu Yu had already stretched out his hand to tidy up her hair, which frightened Zhen Luo... How could an emperor tidy up a common woman's hair?
"Your Majesty...the daughter of the people..."
Before Zhen Luo could speak, Lu Yu's words had already suppressed her words.
"Miss Luo, I have worked so hard for you these five years, and I have wronged you!"
yes…
Lu Yu has never forgotten Zhen Luo...
Yao remembers that the first time they met, the old lady of the Zhen family sent their five daughters to Xu Ducheng to avoid being involved in the war between Cao and Yuan... It was also there that Lu Yu met Zhen Luo.
Follow-up... Zhen Luo sold "Five Stone Powder" to the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei and other places on behalf of Lu Yu, in exchange for tens of thousands of good horses... This man made great achievements in pacifying the northern border, appraising Wuhuan, and eliminating foreign troubles!
Lu Yu kept this feat in mind.
Originally, Lu Yu wanted to express something when he took over the throne...
Or directly incorporate Zhen Luo into the harem.
But...in order to cooperate with Wei's plan, the Zhen family sent Zhen Luo to Shu to use Wei and Shu to trade...to draw the most accurate map for Wei.
In a blink of an eye…
Five years have passed, and Lu Yu can no longer remember clearly...
When was the last time he saw Zhen Luo? But when it comes to giving without expecting anything in return, every woman around Lu Yu can't compare to him.
It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and the fluttering snow is like the flowing wind...
Zhen Ji always gives people a kind of "aesthetic" that is too beautiful and too giving... This moved Lu Yu.
"Your Majesty...women of the people will not be wronged.
When answering this sentence, Zhen Luo was thinking of five years ago, when she heard that Wei and Shu were doing business, she asked her eldest sister to send her to Bashu without hesitation!
How could Zhen Jiang not understand the little sister's thoughts...
She only asked, "Is this for...him?"
Zhen Luo nodded.
She asked again: "Is it worth it for him?"
Zhen Luo didn’t answer…
Two months later…
She sat in the carriage and passed through the steep Shu road. Her face had a dusty look, showing that she had traveled far away for a long time.
She was in her prime, at a time when she was happy and carefree, but there was a hint of melancholy in her face, as if she was struck by sorrow, between her brows and in her heart, unable to avoid it...
She didn't know what she was doing all this for. But she was determined...she had to do this.
What did she think she should do for that man?
As the saying goes, once you meet Lu Yu, you will be wrong for life.
"Miss Zhen Luo is not young either..." Lu Yu's abrupt words made Zhen Luo grit her teeth subconsciously, as if she had guessed something.
"Your Majesty..." Zhen Luo murmured.
Lu Yu breathed softly, "Please stay this time. This huge Wei Palace... I built a 'Luo Temple' for you! The only owner of this Luo Temple is you!"
This... Zhen Luo's big eyes blinked repeatedly. She never thought that... His Majesty was actually... busy with his busy schedule.
Still...yet...
But... Zhen Luo still shook her head, biting her lip, "Your Majesty, please allow the matter of civilian girls!"
"As long as you say it, I agree." Lu Yu's tone was extremely soft.
"Can this 'Luo Temple' be left vacant for a few more years? What do you want to do for His Majesty's unification cause..."
call…
Lu Yu was moved by Zhen Luo's words, and even... moved his face!
…
…
Bashu, a wine shop in Jianmen Pass.
Some sergeants and local people gathered around a table, chatting about something.
"Have you heard... The ones your Majesty sent to Yanmen this time are General Zhang Fei and Military Advisor Fazheng... This combination of civil and military skills is amazing."
"Awesome ass? What does it have to do with us whether we can win the Northern Expedition? Aren't we still stationed day and night, either training or stationed, without even a moment to rest? If we continue like this... the women in my family
They are all going to run away with the wild man!"
"Sigh... there is no way around this! We have one state against the twelve states of the Wei Dynasty. How can this compare? Of course... we soldiers have to use one as three people? How can we have time to rest? Grandma Te
You’re…thinking too much!”
"By the way... do you know how the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty fare?"
"How?"
"Those merchants from the Wei Dynasty mentioned that they can rest for two days every seven days, eat three meals a day, and have bread for every meal!"
Well…
As soon as this statement came out...
In these sword gates... no matter the defenders or the common people, everyone's eyes are straight!
Grandma Te, he also served as a soldier to get food. What kind of life did the Wei soldiers live? What kind of life did their Shu army live? Mother Te, there is no harm if there is no comparison!
