This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 273 You should be able to

The entire Fusang Island was empty, except for those little ball-like things.

During the day, Alizee and Lu Sen "cut wood" together. In the evening, she would pick up the glass lamp for lighting and walk around the entire Fusang Island, looking for treasures.

For her, this was a kind of extreme happiness, and a certain instinct hidden in her blood was stimulated.

These days also let her find some valuable things.

Not to mention the secret books of the Tianjimen, they are quite useful, although they are not the core skills of the inner sect, they can also supplement the Lu family's practice system to a certain extent.

In addition, she also let her find some belongings hidden in the dark corners of the room, or in the crevices.

Lu Sen didn't like these things, but to Alizee, it was a huge sum of money.

After all, she is only a family general, and not Lu Sen's concubine. Many resources of the Lu family are not eligible to enjoy.

In addition, there is a rather strange thing, those little elves rolling around on the grass have become more rounded in these three days.

It's no longer the wrinkled look it was before.

Instead, it became smooth and transparent, with a light green light all over the body, very beautiful.

In addition to rolling around on the grass, they also like to follow Lu Sen to watch logging, and they also put those wooden cubes that fell on the ground on their heads, and run around to play with their companions.

It took nearly seven days to transform the trunk of this hibiscus tree into a large number of wooden blocks. Lu Sen felt that he had gained a lot this time. This is a good thing, and it is almost difficult to find such quality building materials.

Although there is a hibiscus tree at home, but I am willing to knock it down?

After turning all the hibiscus trees into small cubes, Lu Sen first dismantled the small system home, and then the tree elves panicked and surrounded him, unwilling to leave, with pleading eyes, looking pitiful.

Lu Sen moved out of the aircraft and just opened the hatch, but these little things jumped in first, stacked one by one, stacked into a small group, not occupying any space at all.

"So smart?" Lu Sen was a little surprised.

And Alizee looked at it with love in her eyes: "What a proud little thing, sir, why don't we take it back to raise it, and the mistresses at home will be happy too."

Lu Sen looked down at the tree elves in front of his toes, thought for a while, and agreed to Alizee's suggestion.

Anyway, this little thing is harmless, and it seems to have a good compatibility with trees. I also have a hibiscus tree at home, so it should be good to let them live under the hibiscus tree.

With the hatch closed, the aircraft flew away from the 'drifting' Fuso Island in the desert.

Originally, Lu Sen was not optimistic about Tianjimen, but now it seems that the possibility of them wanting to make a comeback is almost zero.

And just three hours after Lu Sen left, around noon, more than a dozen humans in black cloaks came from a distance in the desert. After they set foot on Fusang Island, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Eldest brother, it seems that someone has been here before."

"There are still faint footprints, which are not completely covered by sand, so it should not have been walking for long."

"Big brother, big brother, it's bad, the hibiscus tree is gone."

"what?"

"Eldest brother, elder brother, those scorpions are gone."

"What's going on, who took away the only remaining treasure of our Tianjimen, who is it?"

The desperate roar sounded over the desert, but Lu Sen naturally couldn't hear it.

Two and a half days later, he returned to Hangzhou.

The family was naturally very happy, and then the tree elves became the family's "Furui". The things are so cute, especially when they are near the hibiscus tree, their bodies will emit a very comfortable shimmer. When you hold them in your arms, they feel warm and feel much lighter all over your body.

After Lu Sen 'rested' for two days, he finally had time to practice calligraphy in the gazebo.

Lu Xianxian came out from the side and said with a smile, "Mr. Lang is really hardworking. He has never been lazy in his writing."

Lu Sen glanced at her helplessly. For some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be a bit of yin and yang in the other party's words.

"Anyway, sir, you've worked hard." Lu Xianxian covered her mouth and smiled happily. She then said, "My husband just came home two days ago. I think I'm tired from the journey because I didn't tell you. A few days ago, you The king of Nanjun sent someone to send a letter, stating that he hopes that Mr. Lang will go to the capital to discuss important matters."

Going to the capital again?
Lu Sen frowned: "Did the King of Runan say anything in his letter?"

"No." Lu Xianxian took out an envelope from his cuff: "Here is the letter. He said that the specific things are written in this letter."

Lu Sen opened the letter and read it for a while, then shook his head helplessly.

Lu Xianxian couldn't help asking, "What did you say in the letter?"

"Xixia wants to negotiate peace with the imperial court." Lu Sen said with a smile: "But the imperial court can't find a suitable person to be the chief officer. I hope that I will go back, sit in the northwest, and lead the mission to negotiate with the Xixia people."

Lu Xianxian was stunned for a moment, and said, "This is a little too much."

In her opinion, how to negotiate with the Xixia people should be a matter for the court.My husband stays in Hangzhou all the year round, so he doesn't care about court affairs, and now he's going to be dragged to the northwest to face the Xixia people, and he's going to be ashamed, why bother.

In fact, Lu Sen thought so too.

He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Xixia, and he had to deal with everything by himself. Such a Northern Song Dynasty was not what a strong country should have in his mind.

So later, Lu Sen wrote a letter and sent it to Bianliang City, telling the King of Runan County that he was not interested in this matter.

After receiving the letter, the King of Runan County threw the envelope in front of Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang, and said, "Okay, I have done what you said, but my son-in-law doesn't want to come, and I can't force him to do so." Is he coming?"

Grand Master Pang didn't find it strange, this matter was within his expectation.

Bao Zheng was rather disappointed: "Now the imperial court lacks courageous and resourceful young people who can hold their own. Daoist Lu is unwilling to go, and it is somewhat difficult to select someone from among them to fight with the Xixia people. If we old fellows go... probably not to Xixia, we will be tortured by the exhaustion of the horses and horses, and it is hard to say whether we can appear in front of the other party alive."

In fact, it would be okay for Bao Zheng to go, he has a black cat spirit beast to protect him, and he is not too old.

But he is one of the pillars of the imperial court now, if the Xixia people act unethically and Bao Zheng falls over there, it will be an unbearable blow to the current imperial court.

As for Taishi Pang... Although he also has a spirit beast to protect him, he is really too old.

Now the spirit beast is protecting his health, not letting him run around.

"What do you think of Wang Anshi, a young man?" Although Taishi Pang used "you", he only looked at Bao Zheng, because the king of Runan County really has no qualifications to discuss politics: "Now that he has washed away his arrogance and impetuosity, he can be regarded as a young man." The best of his generation."

Bao Zheng shook his head: "He has only been in charge of supervising the army for more than two years. If he is asked to negotiate peace with the Xixia people again, not to mention the imperial court's opinion, the people all over the world will definitely be angry. It's not appropriate!"

"Then I can only invite Master Lu to come."

Bao Zheng nodded: "He is indeed the best candidate. But he is unwilling."

The Runan County King suddenly said beside him: "Actually, based on my understanding of Sen'er, there is a way to invite him over."

The two immediately looked at King Runan.

"If it's just about making peace, he's definitely not interested." The Runan County King said with a sinister smile, "But if you tell him that it's up to him to make peace with the Xixia people, then the matter will be easier. If General Di’s army can be dispatched to his envoys to give orders, the effect will be even better.”

"Ridiculous!" Grand Master Pang couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Whether it's war or peace, it can't be decided by people at will."

"Isn't it up to you literati to decide? You literati are not human?" The smile of the Runan County King seemed a little sarcasm: "Or, do you two think that Sen'er is not worthy to be in the same rank as you?"

Neither of them meant that.

It's just that Lu Sen decides whether to fight or not, and Lu Sen's 'tempered' temper probably put the Xixia envoys on the spot as thieves.

It is even... possible to take General Di to smash the front line of the Xixia people.

hiss!
Thinking about it this way, it seems to make a lot of sense.

Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang couldn't help but glanced at each other, their hearts were moved.

On Lu Sen's side, carrying two bottles of honey, he ran to Su Shi's place to enjoy the food again.

I have to say that the dishes made by Su Shi are really delicious.Even the few women in the family can't compare.

The two sat facing each other in the backyard of the government office, with a hot stove in the middle and an iron pot on it.

There are a lot of ingredients stewed inside, and white smoke is gurgling.

"Come on, let's go." Su Shi's face was a little red. After clinking a glass with Lu Sen, he said, "Other people come to me because they want to see me reciting poems. Only you, Master Lu, are not that kind of layman." , you came to ask me to eat! I, Su, can say that there are few rivals in the world for reciting poems, but this is not something worth showing off. The only thing I, Su, love most is cooking spoons. It’s also the most worth mentioning, you Daoist Lu only loves to come to me to eat and drink, okay! Different, you are my confidant.”

Lu Sen also took a sip of the warm Fenjiu, he said with a smile: "I think you are different, other people in the world hold my honey, which one is not a treasure, only you give it away as a condiment."

"Hahaha." Su Shi said very proudly: "It's because they don't know what to do. This person is inherently born, old, sick, and dead. Only by enjoying the time, drinking all the world's fine wines, and eating all the world's delicacies, can life be happy."

At this time, Su Shi was still young. Although his mother passed away, generally speaking, he had not experienced many setbacks and disappointments in life.

In his eyes, everything in this world seemed to revolve around him.

But such people are not annoying.

Although he speaks straight, he loves to brag.However, he is a kind person, and when doing things for officials, he is based on the common people, and he has never done anything wrong.

So he can speak without any scruples, and he can express his feelings freely.

Lu Sen put a piece of fish into his mouth, and asked, "You shouldn't have anything bothering you recently, right?"

"It's true." Su Shi sighed: "Xixia wants to negotiate peace with us, the Song Dynasty, and now the court is worried about who should be appointed as the head of the discussion. The princes in the court have important positions and cannot move around at will. So I sent an official document to recommend myself to Zhongshu's sect, and wanted to take the post of chief official, but guess how the nobles under Zhongshu's sect replied to me?"

"How to reply?"

"Young and arrogant but not self-aware, open-mouthed and unrestrained, you are stupid!" Su Shi slapped the table heavily: "The one who criticized this reply was actually Bao Longtu. You say it is annoying. I am Su Shi No matter how ridiculous a certain person's behavior is, how can he go too far? He spat at the official's face back then, how dare you say me?"

When Lu Sen heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Su Shi was unwilling at the moment: "Even Master Lu, you think of me like that?"

Lu Sen waved his hand: "Bao Longtu is protecting you. He knows that if you really want to become the chief official and go to the Xixia people, the Xixia people will cut you down after a few words."

Su Shi was upset at the moment. He stared at Lu Sen with wide eyes, snorted and said, "I'm just wondering, obviously you, Lu Longtu, and Bao Longtu, are the ones who can piss people off with your words. Bao Longtu can Pointing at the officials, you, Lu Longtu, pointing at all the officials in the world, calling us cowards and useless. It is obvious that the two of you have gone too far, why do others think that I, Su, speak freely?"

That seems to be the case.

Seeing the other party's aggrieved look, Lu Sen smiled even more happily.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh!" Su Shi became more drunk, he slapped the table in front of him vigorously, and shouted: "You are going too far, Master Lu."

Lu Sen managed to suppress his laughter, waved his hands and said, "Of course it's different. When Bao Longtu scolded the officials, he was the censor and the speech officer, so he had the duty to scold the officials. As for me... the world All the officials looked at my honey, thinking that I would treat their illnesses and injuries, and they dare not offend me casually. Besides, even if they are a little stunned and feel that I am unhappy, they can't beat me."

Su Shi remembered that Lu Sen's strength seemed to be quite strong, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration: "Wait, what you said is interesting. Most people don't want to offend you, and then they can't beat you. Why do I listen, it seems to be Where have you heard of it?"

"That's what Confucius did." Lu Sen said with a smile: "So you think the six arts of a gentleman are for nothing? It's just you literati who talk about etiquette and books, and you think you are a gentleman."

"That sounds interesting." Su Shi nodded, "Wait for me to write it down. You Taoist priests are quite interesting, and you actually think of Confucius like this."

Lu Sen shrugged.

At this time, Su Shi suddenly asked: "Although I can't be the chief officer of the peace negotiation, you should be able to, Master Lu. You have enough status and strength!"
