Comprehensive martial arts: Qixia town storytellers, the beginning of the tie to Qiao Feng

"It is the rich and powerful who are greedy for profit and desire more power."

"It is these dignitaries who are attacking each other for their own interests, extorting money."

"You should really dissuade these powerful people, not me, the storyteller."

"To describe your current behavior in one sentence, it's called giving up the root and chasing the end, and looking for fish after a tree."

"If the world didn't have these rich and powerful people who are obsessed with interests, then the stories I tell are just pure stories, and no one will think wildly just because they heard my stories."

"If I don't talk about books that can stop those powerful people from fighting and make people's lives better, then I won't talk about it."

"But do you think it's possible?"

Dongfang Lan remained silent.

She didn't know how to face Lu Yan's words.

Song Yuming glanced at Dongfang Lan, and wanted to say a few words for Dongfang Lan, but he didn't know how to speak.

Lu Yan knocked on the table, and continued: "You have the time to think about these things, why don't you think about whether to help Wu Zhao or Xu Jingye."

"If it doesn't work, you can stand on the side of the Song Clan and help the Song Clan compete in the Central Plains."

"But none of this has anything to do with me."

Dongfang Lan looked at Lu Yan and whispered, "Sorry."

Hearing Dongfang Lan's apology, Lu Yan grinned and said, "Since you can still realize your mistakes, it means you can still be saved."

Dongfang Lanbei bit her lower lip tightly, and asked again: "Is there really no way to make the people live and work in peace and improve their lives?"

Lu Yan replied seriously: "Yes, but not now."

Dongfang Lan asked again: "When was that?"

Lu Yan replied: "Hundreds of years later, or more than 1000 years later, it won't be now anyway."

Dongfang Lan fell silent again.

Lu Yan turned his gaze to Song Yuming again, and asked, "Are you Song Clans planning to stay in Lingnan, or are you going to come out and fight for the world?"

Song Yuming replied with a wry smile: "Mr. Lu, I can't decide this matter."

Lu Yan asked again: "Then what do you think? Say it boldly, I won't say what happened today."

Song Yuming subconsciously glanced at Dongfang Lan when he heard the words, but didn't speak.

Lu Yan already understood Song Yuming's answer from Song Yuming's eyes.

If Dongfang Lan chooses to assist others, then he naturally hopes that the Song Clan will stand still.

But if Dongfang Lan chooses the Song Clan, then he will fight in all directions for Dongfang Lan and pacify the world.

Simply put, this is the power of love.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help shaking his head.

Song Yuming made it clear that he wanted to follow Dongfang Lan and serve Dongfang Lan's will.

It's also thanks to the fact that Dongfang Lan came to meet him today and was given a verbal education by him.

If this makes Dongfang Lan keep thinking like the Virgin, then Song Yuming will suffer.

At that time, the Song clan might spend all their wealth, and it might not be able to change the world much.

Just when Lu Yan thought of this, Dongfang Lan suddenly asked: "Mr. Lu, who do you think is the virtuous master in this world?"

When Lu Yan heard this question, he didn't say anything, but the breathing of the guests at the two nearby tables suddenly became much more tense.

Lu Yan turned his head and glanced at the two tables of guests, with a playful smile on his face.

He knew without guessing that the guests at these two tables must have some relationship with Wu Zhao and Li Shi.

They must be worried that his answer will affect Dongfang Lan's choice, so they are so nervous.

Lu Yan withdrew his gaze, looked at Dongfang Lan again, and asked, "Are you asking seriously, or do you have an answer in your heart and just want to confirm it?"

Dongfang Lan replied: "I am asking Mr. Lu seriously."

Judging from the impact of Lu Yan's storytelling on the general trend of the world, Lu Yan must have an extremely deep understanding of the general trend of the world.

She might be able to find the answer in her heart from Lu Yan's answer.

Hearing Dongfang Lan's answer, Lu Yan replied without hesitation: "You are a boat, and people are water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Those who win the hearts of the people can win the world."

"The one who wins the hearts of the people is the virtuous master who should be assisted by the Oriental girl."

Dongfang Lan took a deep look at Lu Yan when he heard the words, stood up and saluted and said, "You have been taught."

Lu Yan waved his hand and said, "I just repeated what others said, so you don't need to thank me so solemnly."

"Okay, I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."

After saying these words, Lu Yan got up and walked downstairs.

Dongfang Lan looked at Lu Yan's leaving back, and she didn't take her eyes away until Lu Yan's figure disappeared.

Song Yuming stood quietly beside Dongfang Lan, accompanying Dongfang Lan.

After a long time, Dongfang Lan sighed quietly and said, "Maybe my previous thoughts were really wrong."

Song Yuming looked at Dongfang Lan and comforted him: "It's not too late to mend the dead sheep, so don't be discouraged."

Dongfang Lan turned his head to look at Song Yuming and said, "Thank you."

Chapter 268 Young people are easy to deceive

Shangyang Palace.

Wu Zhao has been staying in the study for the past few days.

Every day, the intelligence sent back from the front line must be watched over and over again.

Now, only if Qiu Shenji's army is safe and sound, can she feel more at ease.

Just when Wu Zhao looked at the information sent an hour ago again, Shangguan Wan'er walked in from the outside.

She came to Wu Zhao's side, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there is news from Zuixianju."

Wu Zhao's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he asked, "What did he say in the book today?"

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "Lu Yan's story today said that Zhang Yide made a big disturbance in Changbanqiao, and Liu Yuzhou lost to Hanjinkou. But the news that the concubine is going to report has nothing to do with this."

Wu Zhao frowned slightly, and asked, "What happened to him again?"

Now she felt scared when she heard the name Lu Yan.

Burning the boat and dividing the world into three parts is enough for her to have a headache.

If Lu Yan did something wrong at this time, she was afraid that she would really desperately fight Lu Yan!

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "Today, Dongfang Lan, the holy lady of Cihang Jingzhai, went to Zuixianju to ask Lu Yan who is the virtuous master worthy of help."

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's words, Wu Zhao's expression suddenly changed!

Cihang Jingzhai is a holy land of martial arts, and everyone knows that the saint of Cihang Jingzhai was born, and she will only assist the real emperor.

So Dongfang Lan's choice largely represents the will of the people.

Once Dongfang Lan makes a choice, it is bound to have a great impact on the general trend of the world today.

"How did he say?"

Unusual, Wu Zhao was a little nervous.

Lu Yan's answer will definitely have a certain impact on Dongfang Lan's choice.

And with her current relationship with Lu Yan, there is a high probability that Lu Yan will not speak up for her.

Thinking of this, her complexion inevitably became a little ugly.

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "The person who Lu Yan speaks to the hearts of the people is the one Dongfang Lan should choose to assist the left."

Hearing this answer, Wu Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as Lu Yan wasn't talking about the Li family or the Song Clan, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"The one who wins the hearts of the people..."

Wu Zhao murmured in a low voice, and instructed Shangguan Wan'er: "Nowadays the Tang Dynasty is full of flames, and the people are displaced. Orders have been sent to all states and counties to open warehouses and release grain to help the poor."

"Up and down the palace, the daily expenses are reduced by half!"

Upon hearing Wu Zhao's words, Shangguan Wan'er immediately said: "The concubine complies with the order, so let's do it."

……

Zhao Wangfu.

When Wu Zhao heard about the conversation between Lu Yan and Dongfang Lan, Li Yuanba also heard about it.

It's just a pity that he is just a prince, and he is still in the capital of God, and has no real power, so he can't order to do something sympathetic to the people like Wu Zhao did.

So he can only approach things from other angles.

First of all, write a letter to Xu Jingye, where the army passes by, the soldiers must be strictly guarded, and the people are not allowed to be disturbed.

The second is to use some power to speak for today's world among the people.

The public must realize that the reason why Wu Zhao ordered the opening of granaries to release food and help the poor people this time is all thanks to the present day.

Wu Zhao was just following God's will.

We must weaken Wu Zhao's influence in this matter.

In the end, he wants to punish a group of corrupt officials and behead all those officials who harmed the people and caused them to be bullied.

In this way, their Li family can gain the upper hand in this confrontation.

……

Drunk Xianju.

When Lu Yan heard that Wu Zhao was ordering people to post a list everywhere, he glanced at the contents of the list curiously.

After reading the content, he couldn't help laughing.

To say that Wu Zhao's reaction was really fast enough.

He just told Dongfang Lan that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and Wu Zhao started to buy people's hearts on the back.

It can only be said that she really deserves to be a generation of empress dowagers, she really has some tricks.

As for Li's side, he didn't need to guess. Li would definitely respond in the same way, trying to buy people's hearts from different angles.

Anyway, regardless of whether Wu Zhao and Li are putting on a show, at least the people should be able to get some tangible benefits.

In this way, he can be regarded as indirectly doing a good deed.

While Lu Yan was looking at the list, Dongfang Lan and Song Yuming were also looking at the list.

Looking at the series of decrees issued by Wu Zhao for the sake of the people of the world, the two thought exactly the same as Lu Yan.

"This Empress Wu reacted really quickly. It took less than a day to issue a decree to take care of the people."

Song Yuming looked at the content written on the list and sighed again and again.

They all knew that Wu Zhao was trying to buy people's hearts, and he was just playing around.

But the common people don't think so, as long as the common people can get tangible benefits, then the common people will definitely praise Wu Zhao.

Dongfang Lan heard Song Yuming's words, and said softly: "I don't care if she is acting or not, as long as she is actually doing things for the people, it is a good thing."

Song Yuming nodded and said, "If she can act from now on and act for the rest of her life, she will be quite powerful."

"However, there is a high probability that she will not be able to act for such a long time. What the people get from her now, she will probably take back everything with interest in the future."

Dongfang Lan nodded lightly and said, "Let's go, let's see Li Shi's reaction."

While the two were talking, there was a sudden noise not far away, as if someone was celebrating something.

After they inquired in the past, they found out that it was Zhao Wang Li Yuanba who punished a corrupt official who took money and broke the law.

The people who were once bullied and humiliated by this corrupt official are celebrating now!

As luck would have it, the corrupt official killed by Li Yuanba was surnamed Wu, who belonged to the Wu clan.

Song Yuming and Dongfang Lan glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces became extremely strange.
