This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 284 Jealousy
If it is said that Lu Sen's reputation was well known in the world before, but it was more in the aspect of "God and God", then his reputation now has a sense of "threat".

It is very powerful to take down Dingzhou City directly with a large army.

Anyone with a little knowledge knows the significance of Dingzhou and Helan Mountain to Xixia, and the news of Lu Sen's "killing spree" in Dingzhou has gradually spread.

Different from the previous image, which was mysterious and powerful, but immortal, strong, gentle and kind, Lu Sen now has an extra layer of "blood" in everyone's impression.

This is where the sense of intimidation comes in.

Simply killing a god doesn't make people very scared. For example, Di Qing... killed more people, but many civil servants are not afraid of him.

But someone like Lu Sen, who has a civil job and 'immortal art' in his hands, and is willing to use a knife to kill people, really makes people think that if he is an enemy, his scalp will feel numb.

Xiao Rongrong didn't know much about Lu Sen's recent affairs at first, but after hearing what the "good sister" said, she asked the visiting friends about Lu Sen's recent actions.

When he heard that he had captured Dingzhou and was pacifying Helan Mountain, his eyes lit up.

Although the Khitan people admire the institutional culture of the Northern Song Dynasty, and they are very close to the customs and habits here, after all, they are still not able to completely abandon their customs so quickly. Instinct in their bones.

"The emperor has been worried about the Xiao family's affairs recently. "Xiao Rongrong was sitting in the family home of the system, sitting in front of a square table, resting his chin in his hand, looking across the garden, fixedly looking outside the gate of Xiao's mansion, thinking incessantly: "If the emperor has real Lu Zhencheng If you have the ability, you won't be so sad about the rebels, alas! '

She thought that Yelu Hongji was already a rare man in the world, but compared with Lu Sen, he seemed to be suppressed in every way.

Whether it is from appearance, knowledge, ability...etc.

Even in wealth...the two are incomparable.It's not that Lu Sen's wealth is incomparable to a country, but as a half-immortal, he doesn't need to care about wealth in the world, which cannot be measured in this respect.

She sighed sadly, and didn't really want to gossip and play with other friends anymore.

Almost a whole day passed in such a daze, and in the evening, the other noble ladies left while the sky was still dark, and there was only one woman left, the one who said in the morning that Xiao Rongrong would help introduce her to Lu Sen.

"Queen." The woman looked around, and there was no one around, so she subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "My little brother is going to Xixia Dingzhou for a trip, and there happens to be buying war horses and stallions there, and I want to make some money." Pen. If you want to send a letter to Lu Zhenren, I may ask my younger brother to help."

Xiao Rongrong's eyes were shining slightly, and his intentions were moving.

She was very grateful to Lu Sen. If Lu Sen hadn't given him this place to live, she would have been given a three-foot white silk by the emperor to reincarnate in the underworld.

After hesitating for a while, thinking about Lu Sen's help to her, she nodded and said, "Please wait a moment."

Then she took out a pen and ink from the hut, and wrote a letter carefully in small silk characters. There was no ambiguous words in the letter, and it was all gratitude.

She thought that the relationship between herself and Lu Sen was frank, even if the letter fell into the hands of the emperor, there would be nothing wrong with it.

After finishing writing and sealing it, she handed it to the woman and said, "Please trouble my sister."

"It's easy to talk about." The woman smiled happily.

Then the woman hurried back to her mother's house, handed the letter to her younger brother, and said happily, "Little brother, aren't you going to Dingzhou? It is possible to meet Master Lu and form a good relationship."

Looking at the gold-painted envelope, the young man was stunned for a moment and asked, "This is it?"

"This is written by the queen to Master Lu." The woman blinked, her eyes full of joy at watching the ambiguous gossip.

The man took a slight breath and said, "Sister San, you are too powerful."

"Of course." The woman was very proud, then she waved her hand and said, "Okay, I should go home too, otherwise the officials will ask questions again."

After saying that, the woman left by herself.

The young man immediately took the envelope and went to see his father.

In the study room, a man was reading at night with a book in his hand. Seeing his son push the door open, he said displeasedly, "I'm fraught with things, I don't understand etiquette, go out and close the door, knock on the door and then come in."

The young man smiled dryly, then went out and knocked on the door before entering, and said, "My lord, there is a happy event here."

"Why is there joy?"

The young man presented the envelope and explained the matter.

The middle-aged man immediately stood up, looked at the believer several times, and said: "It is indeed a seal from the palace, Empress Xiao is a bit bold."

The young man laughed and said: "Of course she is courageous. She is a person who is about to die. If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of Lu Zhenren, she would have been... Then after such a long time, Lu Zhenren did not come to her. It's normal to be anxious."

The middle-aged man clasped his hands behind his back, paced lightly, and said, "There are two ways to go about this matter. One is to deliver this letter to the emperor. This is my duty, Zhang Xiaojie. The other way is to As your third sister said, take the envelope and go to Master Lu. Abandoned Han, I am going to test you as a father, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Qihan thought for a while and said, "I'll take it to Master Lu."

"Why?"

"Your majesty is already working very hard just to fight against the traitors of the Xiao clan, unlike the Lord of Longxing." Zhang Qihan said without hesitation: "But Daoist Lu is like a bright sun in the sky, shining so brightly that people can't look directly at him." .”

Zhang Xiaojie nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you have not forgotten the teachings of the father. Tomorrow you pack up and salute, and take the old servant to Xijing quietly. I have already prepared the war horses and stallions over there. After you go, Just take the goods and go west, you can go to Dingzhou, there are a few old slaves who know the way, and will take care of everything for you on the way."

Zhang Qihan said happily: "I'm sorry for your hard work, my lord."

"Also, after you go to Dingzhou, you can no longer use the name 'Abandoned Han' and change it back to the original name 'Zongzhen'. Judging from the rumors, it seems that Lu Zhenren can't rub the sand in his eyes. You If you use the name of 'abandoned man' again, you will probably hate him." Zhang Xiaojie said in a calm tone.

Zhang Qihan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he seemed to be able to imagine the scene where he was directly tied up by Lu Zhenren because of this name, and then slashed with a knife.

"The child understands."

……

……

In Dingzhou City, Lu Sen was already a bit bored.

To be honest, Dingzhou is a poor place, not to mention that there are few people, the economy is not prosperous enough, and the popularity is not too prosperous.

In Hangzhou, Lu Sen can go shopping from time to time to change his mood, or go boating on the West Lake to enjoy the natural scenery.

But here in Dingzhou... no matter day or night, there are no 'shows', and the natural scenery is far inferior to that of Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even Yang Jinhua and the twins didn't have much interest in going out after visiting Dingzhou City a few times.

After the three of them finished their 'work' every day, they played chess together, or studied and studied embroidery together.

Lu Sen could only practice calligraphy to pass the time.

In this way, another two months passed.

It's early autumn, and it's already a bit chilly here in Dingzhou.

Lu Sen was chatting with Lu Huiqing about internal affairs.

"How much food is left in the warehouse in Dingzhou?"

Lu Huiqing replied: "There is not much food, and there is still a lot of money left, about 1 taels. Counting the proceeds from house raids, there are nearly 50 taels of silver."

"You can steal 49 taels of silver from the house. This is still not a prosperous Dingzhou." Lu Sen's face became full of knowledge: "These damned vampires will all have to hang themselves from the street lamps."

Ok?
Lu Huiqing was a little dazed, what did Master Lu mean by this?
However, Lu Huiqing also found it funny. During this period of time, they did not know how many people's homes were copied, and it is normal to have such gains.

"According to the regulations, ask someone to escort 35 taels of silver back to Beijing, and the safety on the road must be done well." Lu Sen thought for a while, and said: "Use another 10 taels of silver to go to Xi'an Mansion and the capital to buy a large amount of coarse grains and Shi Tan, it is estimated that it will snow here in two months. The people in Dingzhou are very poor, if the government does not act, many people will freeze to death this year."

Lu Huiqing said with a smile: "I obey the order, and it is the blessing of all the people to have Lu Zhenren in Dingzhou."

"There's no need to shoot flattery, let's go to work."

Lu Huiqing smiled and left.

Lu Sen was about to go back to the backyard to rest when Mu Guiying walked in.

She was dressed in a bright red dress, and her face was bright: "Sen'er, I have almost wiped out the bandits near Dingzhou and Helan Mountain. Annihilation. Now, I can go to the north to support General Di."

"Mother-in-law, why don't you rest for a few days?" There was no outsider here, so Lu Sen used the honorific title: "You have been running around outside for a while, so you must be very tired."

Mu Guiying shook her head: "Don't worry, there are algae and spirit beasts here, so I don't feel tired."

Lu Sen thought about it and thought it was the same.He then wrote the Zhang Junling, stamped it with a tiger talisman, and said: "My mother-in-law took ten thousand elite soldiers to the north, took them to the Tiger Wing Palace, and then took Jinhua to use the aircraft to scout in the air, trying to harass the enemy from the flanks, Create a fighter for General Di."

"sure no problem."

Xixia is the obsession of the Yang family, and it is also the obsession of Mu Guiying.

As long as she can kill Xixia people, she doesn't mind whoever is the coach.

Seeing Mu Guiying leave happily, when Lu Sen wanted to rest again, another soldier came in to report.

"Really Lu, a businessman came outside. He said he had a letter from your acquaintance and wanted to give it to you."

Ok?
Lu Sen felt strange, who would write a letter to him?
But thinking that he knew quite a few people, he said, "Let him come in."

After a while, a young man came in outside. He looked like a Song person.

In fact, the Khitan people were already very Song-like, and the Zhang family was a voter to the Liao Dynasty. Therefore, if they didn't say it themselves, outsiders would not be able to distinguish them from the Song people.

When the young man came in, he looked excited when he saw Lu Sen. He walked up and bowed his fists and said, "The villain Zhang Zongzhen, registered in Datong Mansion, met Lu Zhenren."

Datong Mansion is now considered the territory of Khitan, but because of the tension of the battle lines, sometimes it is the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, so it is hard to say.

However, the Khitan people generally refer to Datong Mansion as Xijing, so on the surface, the first impression of Zhang Zongzhen should be that he thinks he is from the Song Dynasty.

Of course, it's just a first impression.

Lu Sen smiled and said, "Excuse me, what can Zhang Xiaolang do for me? Just now you said, there are letters from acquaintances? I am in Datong Mansion, and I have no relatives or friends."

Although Zhang Zongzhen stood up straight and had a literati style, his smile always seemed to be flattering: "It's not from Datong Mansion. My family has some business in Linhuang, and I happened to meet a nobleman. My sister heard that the villain was coming to Dingzhou to do business, so she asked me to bring a letter, specifying that it should be delivered to Master Lu."

Lu Sen thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "Please Zhang Xiaolang, where is the letter?"

"it's here."

Zhang Zongzhen took out a nanmu box from his wide cuff, with exquisite patterns on it, it looked quite expensive: "Here is the letter?"

Lu Sen took the box and was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he asked, "What business does Zhang Xiaolang come here for?"

"I heard that Dingzhou is buying war horses and stallions, so the villain came here with these goods, hoping to make a fortune."

Lu Sen twitched his eyebrows. He also understood the other party's meaning. He hoped that he would not take buckles on his goods for the sake of the other party's help in delivering the letter.

Lu Sen didn't know how to do this, but after thinking about it, he picked up Zhang Junling and wrote some words on it, then stamped his own seal, and said: "Take this military order, go to the government office and hand it to Lu Langzhong, he It will be taken care of."

"Thank you, Master Lu, thank you, Master Lu."

Zhang Zongzhen left with gratitude.

Then Lu Sen opened the box, and there was a faint fragrance coming. He opened the envelope inside and looked at the small silk characters on it. He hadn't finished reading it yet, and a person stood behind him.

Lu Lin turned around and found that it was Yang Jinhua, and asked, "Aren't you playing in the backyard?"

"Don't play anymore." Yang Jinhua looked at the letter paper in Lu Sen's hand, and narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Officer, the writing on this envelope is really delicate, and the person who wrote it must be a beautiful woman." .”

If it was an ordinary man, he might be afraid at this time, but Lu Sen said calmly, "It was written by Empress Xiao of Khitan."

"Queen." Yang Jinhua's expression became even more strange, and her tone was full of sourness: "It seems that the officials really have a lot of friends. Even the queens of other countries have passed on letters to you."

Lu Sen smiled lightly and said, "The jar of vinegar has been overturned, if you want to see it, you can take it and see it."

Only then did Yang Jinhua feel relieved, and said: "Official, it's not because I'm jealous, but if you really want to take a concubine, you must tell me that I'll check it out for you personally, those... It's not so easy for a girl who is not four to enter our house. Besides, if you really want to take a concubine, you shouldn't be a married woman, at least you have to consider the few in the family first."
