This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 297 Lobbying
Everything happens for a reason.

There are many reasons for the exaggerated rumors between Lu Sen and Xiao Guanyin.

That is to say, there are "love to hear and see" from the people in the market, and there is also "fueling the flames" of Khitan Feilongyuan.

After Lu Sen heard the rumor, he didn't want to see Xiao Guanyin anymore. After all, the plums in the melon field were not very good.

But after thinking about it for an hour, he still decided to take a look.

After all, Xiao Guanyin was a hidden game he had unintentionally arranged, and he couldn't plan for something unexpected, so he gave up completely.

So when Lu Sen flew to Linhuang City, Zhao Zongshi next to him was chattering non-stop.

Always ask about sensitive topics.

After all, he has also reached Mu Ai's age, so he is naturally very interested in such questions.

Lu Sen was a little annoyed by his questioning, so he had no choice but to say, "If you ask any more nonsense, I'll sell you to the Khitan's brothel as a tortoise."

That's why Zhao Zongshi was so frightened that he shut up and stopped asking about these men and women.

When the aircraft stopped at the backyard of Lin Huangcheng's Xiao Mansion, several people hiding in the shadows left quickly.

Lu Sen put away the aircraft, walked into the garden, and led Zhao Zongshi directly into the small system home.

Xiao Guanyin was already standing at the door waiting.

After all, when Lu Sen's aircraft was looking for a suitable landing point over the Xiao Mansion, it circled three times, but anyone who is not blind can see it.

Originally, in Xiao Guanyin's "Small System Homeland", which is what the Khitan people called "Xianjia Resort", there were more than a dozen noble ladies from Linhuang City. After seeing the aircraft coming, Xiao Guanyin drove them away .

In fact, there are a few women who don't really want to leave, but also want to get the same fate as Xiao Guanyin.

Which woman would not be envious of this fairy resort that is warm in winter and cool in summer, closes the door to separate from the common world, and opens the door to welcome distinguished guests.

But Xiao Guanyin used 'authority'. These women were slowly pushed out of the door by a strange force, and they couldn't resist even if they wanted to.

Lu Sen sat down after entering the door, while Zhao Zongshi stood behind him, acting as a servant for the time being.

Xiao Guanyin served Lu Sen the sour plum juice he had prepared, and then sat down and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, Master Lu."

Lu Sen looked around, and found that in this small systematic home, besides the lush grass, there was also an additional fruit tree. Looking carefully, there were many forest trees on it.

In other words, now Xiao Guanyin also has something like a 'fairy fruit' that can be given away.

It's just... Lu Sen looked again, the fruit on it seemed to be a little less, not as much as the ones in his own home.

Xiao Guanyin followed Lu Sen's gaze, and then explained: "The emperor will take some away every day."

Married property equally divided?

From a rational point of view, this is indeed no problem.

But from some perspectives, Yelu Hongji's approach is indeed a bit unreasonable.

However, it is estimated that many people will think that it is a great kindness for the emperor to give you half of what the emperor wants from you.

Lu Sen just looked at it and didn't care. Anyway, this small place was given to Xiao Guanyin. How she handles it and distributes the supplies inside is her business.

"Looking at Empress Xiao's complexion, it's much better than before." Lu Sen said with a smile.

Xiao Guanyin lowered her head slightly, and said: "Thanks to the help of Master Lu, besides, you are related to Daxian, the ancestor of my Xiao family, so just call me Rongrong."

After a woman becomes an adult, only her elders can call her by her nickname.

But in terms of seniority, Lu Sen and Lu Jingjing are related, and in terms of kinship, Lu Jingjing is Lu Xianxian's younger sister, or even a daughter, which makes sense.

Therefore, Lu Sen can be regarded as Xiao Guanyin's elder.

Of course, there are other men who can call her by her nickname.

her husband.

Hearing this, Zhao Zongshi, who had been staying behind Lu Sen, showed a strange expression, but quickly restrained himself.

But Lu Senquan didn't hear this, he just went on to say: "I came to see you this time, mainly because I want to borrow your hand to talk to Lord Yelu."

Xiao Guanyin knew this early on. In the eyes of others, Master Lu might have an affair with her.

But she knew very well that Master Lu despised her.

She nodded and said, "Don't dare to follow."

The empress of a country spoke in such a low voice in front of Lu Sen, even with a hint of 'surrender', it really surprised Zhao Zongshi who was standing behind.

Then he felt more and more that his brother-in-law and Empress Xiao really had that kind of relationship.

Sure enough, there are rumors in this world, after all, there is no wave without wind.

Then Xiao Guanyin stood up, walked to the edge of the fence, and shouted to the shadow in the forest next to him: "Director Qi, you should have heard the words about coming to Master Lu, can you convey it to the emperor?"

After a few breaths, a father-in-law with a rosy face came out of the forest. When he walked, his steps were strange, as if he was floating.

He first bowed his hands to Lu Sen, and then left Xiao's mansion quickly.

Zhao Zongshi watched the Eunuch Qi leave, and subconsciously muttered: "This man looks like a ghost, he looks so scary."

Xiao Guanyin took a look at Zhao Zongshi, and didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but for Lu Sen's sake, she explained: "This is a master in the palace, who specializes in serving the emperor. Similar , and there should be."

"Is there?" Zhao Zongshi looked at Lu Sen curiously: "Does brother-in-law know?"

Lu Sen shook his head: "I don't know much about the affairs in the palace."

He really didn't know, not even the affairs of the court. Those people belonged to the same faction, and which people were political enemies. He didn't know, and he didn't need to know.

Xiao Guanyin glanced at Zhao Zongshi subconsciously. She had guessed who this person was before, but when she heard the word 'brother-in-law', she knew the identity of the other party.

Lu Sen has one wife and two concubines, and the identities of these three women are well known.

The main wives, Yang Jinhua and Pang Meier, have no younger brothers, only Zhao Bilian has several younger brothers.

After all, Zhao Yunrang is the most fertile among the princes of Zhao Song.

He actually brought people from Zhao Song's royal family. It seems that Lu Zhenren really wanted to discuss important matters with the emperor.

After thinking about it, Xiao Guanyin thought a lot, for example, how to get more benefits from it, etc., but then, she smiled bitterly in her heart.

So what if you know more?

This little fairy resort is not only her shelter, but also her cage.

She lives by this place, and at the same time cannot leave it.

Then Xiao Guanyin let go of his mind and chatted with Lu Sen.

It has to be said that Xiao Guanyin still has a lot of ink in his stomach and is proficient in poetry. Unfortunately, Lu Sen is not very good at this, so the two of them are not very good at chatting.

In desperation, Xiao Guanyin had no choice but to desperately find a topic.

The atmosphere was actually a little awkward.

But fortunately, not long after, Yelu Hongji came.

As soon as he came in, Xiao Guanyin stood up and gave way.

Yelu Hongji sat straight down, looked at Lu Sen for a while, and said with a smile: "It seems that Master Lu wants to come to our Khitan Kingdom?"

Zhao Zongshi in the back was a little nervous when he heard this.

Lu Sen smiled and said, "I don't have any plans yet."

"I heard that Song Ting called you back to Beijing again."

"To be precise, it is the secret decree of the empress dowager who is ignorant."

"Then it can't be regarded as nothing happened." Yelu Hongji was naturally a little anxious when he saw that Lu Sen was so indifferent, and he said: "Everyone in this world is watching you. Forget it, who won't step on your head in the future?"

"I don't count what I say, and no one dares to step on my head." Lu Sen smiled.

This is indeed the truth, not to mention the flat peaches that can increase life expectancy as much as you can eat, just the fruit and honey that can heal all kinds of patients can make people flock to him and stand in front of him respectfully.

Yelu Hongji also understood this, he sighed slightly.

Lu Sen said: "I don't know how the battle between the king and the rebels is going?"

Speaking of the traitor Xiao, Yelu Hongji subconsciously looked at Xiao Guanyin next to him.

And Xiao Guanyin's face was a little embarrassed.

Then he turned to Lu Sen and asked, "I don't know what plan Master Lu has when he mentions this matter?"

"I want to leave a way out for Lord Yelu." Lu Sen picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then slowly put it down.

At this moment, the scene was silent.

Yelu Hongji stared at Lu Sen intently, his eyes were full of anger and killing intent, and his fingers on the table were even twitching unconsciously.

After a while, Yelu Hongji suppressed his anger, and said coldly, "What does Master Lu mean?"

"Xixia will be gone." Lu Sen said flatly: "As long as I am in Xingqing Mansion, their fate will be like this."

Yelu Hongji subconsciously clenched his fists.

If Xiao's rebels are the immediate enemy, then after the fall of Xixia, the Great Song Dynasty will be crushed by the general trend, which cannot be resisted.

"In other words, as long as Master Lu is left here, Xixia will not be destroyed."

Talking to smart people is easy. Lu Sen only said that Xixia was about to perish, and Yelu Hongji knew what the former meant.

"Can you keep me?" Lu Sen looked at the Xixia Forbidden Army outside Xiao's residence: "I'm not boasting, there are only three or four people in this world who can make people feel difficult, and two of them are in my own home , and the other two are far away from the Western Great Qin, can the king invite them over?"

"Not necessarily." Yelu Hongji looked at Xiao Guanyin who was next to him, and said, "Rongrong might change Master Lu's mind."

When Xiao Guanyin heard this, his face immediately turned pale.

Lu Sen looked at Xiao Rongrong who was in a daze beside him, and suddenly felt that this woman was actually quite pitiful.

He saved her life, but it seemed he couldn't save her fate.

Lu Sen remembered that in the original history, Xiao Guanyin's final ending did not seem to be very good.

Lu Sen shook his head: "I don't understand what Lord Yelu means."

"Reverend Lu should understand." Lord Yelu clenched his fists subconsciously, his face was a little distorted, but even so, he was still smiling desperately: "Except for the queen, Reverend Lu can freely enter and leave my harem. Reverend Lu also You can sit on the hall with me, there is no distinction between high and low."

The asking price has reached this level, which is enough to show his sincerity.

But at the same time, it also explained the despair in Yelu Hongji's heart at this time. If he hadn't reached the end of his life, why would he have given such a condition.

Lu Sen still shook his head: "Fame, fortune and wealth in the world don't mean anything to me."

Hearing this, Yelu Hongji couldn't help roaring: "Since fame, wealth and honor in the world have nothing to do with real people, why do you have to be enemies with Xixia and me, Khitan? What the Great Song can give you, I, Yelu, can also give." , or even double."

He was really jealous and resentful.

Why would a fairy like Lu Sen want to help Song Ting? Wouldn't it be good for him to practice honestly in the deep mountains and old forests?

Lu Sen smiled slightly and said, "Because I was born in the Central Plains."

Yelu Hongji gritted his teeth and asked, "Is it that simple?"

"Is that not enough?"

Yelu Hongji stared at Lu Sen intently, the redness in his eyes was gradually spreading, and after a while, his whole body collapsed, as if an invisible thing shattered in his body.

"Why did I encounter such a thing." Yelu Hongji covered his face, and there was a tear in his voice: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it."

No wonder he was dissatisfied.

Before Lu Sen was born, although Khitan was not as powerful as the Northern Song Dynasty in terms of military strength, it was dominant in terms of momentum.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the coins were offered every year, and the Khitan lived fairly well.

But... not long after Lu Sen appeared, Suibi stopped talking, and the Zhong family army in the border now took the initiative to attack from time to time.

Although he is somewhat restrained now, Yelu Hongji understands that this is just sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, hoping to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

When he and the Xiao family decide the outcome, it must be the time when the Zhong family's army goes north.

At that time, it was the day when the Khitan country was destroyed.

Seeing such an expression of a king, both Xiao Rongrong and Zhao Zongshi were very surprised, even a little touched, as if they saw the sorrow and wailing of the dragon after falling into the plain.

There is a sense of regret.

But Lu Sen didn't feel that way.

Because it's very simple, Lu Sen never thinks that a big man is a high-level creature who has broken away from the category of ordinary people. There has never been such a saying.

No matter how powerful a person is, his prestige and his dazzling figure are all just given to him by his status at that time and external objects.

Without the imperial power, without the army, Yelu Hongji was just an ordinary person with average abilities.

In later generations, on the Internet, Lu Sen has seen too many big people look lonely and decadent after wearing silver bracelets.

The more I watched a lot, the less reverence I had for the so-called big men.

In his eyes, Yelu Hongji was the same as those defeated 'big tigers'.

After a while, Yelu Hongji let go of his face, his eyes were still red, but his expression became much more normal: "I made Master Lu laugh."

"It doesn't matter." Lu Sen waved his hand: "Since Lord Yelu gave me a lot of good conditions just now, how about I also offer my opinion?"

Yelu Hongji smiled, and said, "If you want to persuade him to surrender, then there's no need. After all, I'm still the ruler of Khitan."

"But I heard that Lord Yelu once said that he regrets not being from the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, and wishes to be born in a land of romantic mountains and flowers in the south of the Yangtze River in the next life."

Yelu Hongji froze for a moment, nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head again.

Lu Sen said with a smile: "If Lord Yelu is willing, I can send a message to the court. In the future, Lord Yelu will become a happy prince with an iron coupon like Chai!"
