National teacher help

Li Jiancheng knew that he wanted to invite him to drink tea and chat. In fact, this time he sent troops to support Dai County, half of which was to relieve the danger of the Turks, and half to meet these people.

Lu Zhongming probably also guessed the identity of Li Ji who came last time.

The two sides sat down, they both understood each other, and there was no need to say too much, each of them understood, Li Jiancheng said: "General Qin and General Luo, when I was still in Jinyang, I have heard about these two great names for a long time, Zhang Xutuo The old general was loyal to the country, and the family Yan still sighed and shed tears for it."

In terms of age, Li Jiancheng has passed the weak crown this year, and Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Lu Zhongming are all under [-]; in terms of status, the Li family is a prominent family in Longxi, and he is the heir of the Tang Dynasty, and his side is a wanted criminal. save face.Qin Qiong's face was calm, but he still said lightly: "It is enough to feel the kindness of the king of Tang."

Luo Shixin asked: "The one who came to the door last time was your younger brother?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Exactly, the three have good eyesight. Years ago, the song of the Yanmen Gate was closed and spread to Jinyang, my father sent my younger brother to the door, and wanted to invite Mr. Lu to meet him, but there are so many eyes and ears here, my younger brother dare not reveal his identity rashly. Jiancheng is taking the liberty, may I ask, can Mr. Lu understand the deep meaning of the ballad?"

Li Jiancheng looked into Lu Zhongming's eyes.

"Sui and Tang Dynasties..." Lu Zhongming said: "Your Majesty guessed right, the Empress of the Sui Dynasty is 'Li and Tang Tianxia', the Yang family will be destroyed, and the Li family will be prosperous. Come, my son, please drink tea."

Lu Zhongming put the teacup in front of Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng pondered and drank the tea without answering, and finally said: "General Qin, General Luo has superb martial arts skills and a deep understanding of the art of war. It is expected that he will not live in Dai County permanently. When he enters the city, After it was completed, the people in the city were scrambling to praise Mr. Lu for inviting the power of heavenly soldiers to destroy the Hu tribe. It is expected that the people will invade, and it will definitely make Mr. Lu's life difficult..."

Lu Zhongming laughed, but Li Jiancheng said: "What everyone expects, there is often no peace for a moment. This is what Jiancheng really wants."

"That's right." Lu Zhongming said helplessly.

"Where are the three going now?" Li Jiancheng asked again.

"There's nowhere to go." Qin Qiong laughed.

Luo Shixin lazily said, "I'll follow my brothers."

Li Jiancheng said sincerely: "Before coming to Dai County this time, my father told Jiancheng to invite the three of you to Jinyang no matter what... If Jiancheng cannot invite everyone back, I am afraid that my father will come in person. The little brother passed away, and my father's health is really not very good... Mr. Pan Lu, General Qin, General Luo..."

Lu Zhongming knew that at this time, if he put on airs again, he would not know how to flatter him. Li Shimin invited Li Jiancheng once, and Li Jiancheng invited him twice, which is already a rare event in history.Originally, the three of us came to Bingzhou to join the Li family.Now it is a matter of course and there is no need to push.

"Brother Shimin came here a few years ago." Lu Zhongming said, "It's not that I don't want to go, but to watch the stars at night. Knowing that there must be a military disaster in Dai County before March, that's why I stayed here. Right now, Yanmenguan The crisis has been resolved, and it is time to go and serve the real man. My son, please take a step first, and Zhong Ming will definitely visit when things are over here."

Li Jiancheng nodded readily and said: "That's very good, Jiancheng will wait for the three masters in Jinyang Mansion."

After finishing speaking, Li Jiancheng got up and first clasped his fists at the three of them. Qin Qiong and others returned the salute. Li Jiancheng obviously had something important to do, so he left.

As soon as Li Jiancheng left, Lu Zhongming's face collapsed. Thinking of Yu Chigong's matter, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Luo Shidao: "Since when have you watched the stars at night? I don't think you have ever gone out at night."

Qin Qiong: "It's a trick to bluff people, why do you need to ask?"

Luo Shixin looked at Lu Zhongming strangely. Lu Zhongming was obviously not thinking about it. He glanced up at the two of them and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Who messed with you?" Qin Qiong smiled and said, "You don't like that guy?"

Lu Zhongming said angrily: "No..."

Luo Shidao: "Unhappy?"

"Hey——" Lu Zhongming sighed, feeling indescribably disappointed.

"Why did Yu Chigong come back?" Lu Zhongming asked: "You two must know, don't hide it from me anymore."

Lu Zhongming was very unhappy when he tried out that sentence from Li Jiancheng's mouth, and even sullen to Li Jiancheng. Fortunately, the two met for the first time. They look very serious when they talk to each other.

But as soon as Li Jiancheng left, Lu Zhongming was not happy, Qin Qiong said with a smile: "I am very stupid, I don't know anything."

Luo Shidao: "I don't know either. Is there any help for that kid? Why don't you go to Jinyang and ask him?"

Lu Zhongming said: "If you don't tell me today, everyone will not be able to sleep at night!"

Qin Qiong: "..."

Luo Shixin: "..."

"His mission is to assassinate Tuli Khan." Qin Qiong finally told Lu Zhongming: "Ambush in the Turkic barracks, and when Tuli Khan comes to reward the army, try to hammer him. They will come to fight In Dai County, a secret road was dug earlier, and we were planning to attack the camp at night, Yu Chigong overheard the news that the three of us were in the city, and we were afraid that we would be in danger..."

"Who are you afraid of being in danger?" Luo Shixin added casually, "Then Heitantou will control our brother's life or death?"

Qin Qiong smiled and didn't speak.

"So..." Lu Zhongming murmured: "I gave up the mission and sneaked into the tunnel alone to remind us that I was seriously injured, right?"

Qin Qiong shrugged and did not comment, but the corners of Luo Shixin's mouth twitched uncontrollably, Qin Qiong said: "Abandoning the mission without permission has resulted in a failure of success, and most likely I will have to go back and receive punishment."

Luo Shixin said disdainfully: "Maybe it's a good thing. I gave up the assassination, but saved my life. Who knows? I'm going to pack my things. When will I leave?"

Lu Zhongming said: "As soon as possible. The city is in a mess. There is no food or drink. I will leave tomorrow."

Luo Shixin went back to the backyard to pack up his belongings. Lu Zhongming sat outside the door with his knees hugged, thinking about how to find out the news after he went to Jinyang.After all, his first mission here was to resolve the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism. However, he came here a little earlier, and he still doesn't know what the Buddhism is doing.

We can only try to find out the current Buddhist activities in the Central Plains through Li Shimin's network.So with the help of the Li family, this step will be resolved immediately, and the next step is to try to investigate the matter of Buddhism.

The city has suffered from wars, and the embers of the burning houses floated into the sky, and then fell down one after another.Under the dark sky, a piece of paper flew from the sky, whirled in the wind, and flew towards Lu Zhongming.

Lu Zhongming: "!!!"

Lu Zhongming has never missed his father as much as now. He raised his head and showed an excited smile. The letter fell into his hands and he unfolded it in a hurry. He wanted to read it at a glance, but he was reluctant to finish it. very short.

[Little baby my son:

Dad has been thinking about you, how are you doing?I can't stop thinking about you today, my heart is beating hard, as if I feel that you have released a whole body of immortal power in Chutang.Immortal power cannot be used frequently, and the safety of the people must be taken into account.

During the meal, I mentioned the past events with your Zhongfu, and I couldn't help but feel a lot of embarrassment.I often think that after you are born, I will take the two of you back to my father's hometown to have a look.However, I have been incubating you for many years, and it was not easy to take care of you after you were born, so it has been delayed for so long.

Your second father said, let me stop talking about you, my ears are calloused, and talking too much will make you sneeze all day long.This is not bad, you should go out and experience yourself.If you take root in Chutang and stay here, remember to go to Bingzhou with your good buddies and friends when you are free.

Dad's hometown is in Bingzhou, where your grandfather, great-grandfather, and ancestors took root.When you were very young, your grandma took your father to herd sheep outside the Great Wall. Later, your father joined the army at Yanmen Pass and often yearned for the heroic general Li Guang to fight against the Huns, so he practiced riding and archery by the Hutuo River, and heard that Zhaojun went out of the Great Wall. The style of marriage, I often think about returning to my hometown one day.

When Dad was a child, there was a fertile prairie along the Hutuo River, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It must be the same when you go back.

It has been a full day since you came this morning. Just now when you had dinner, you thought you were going out to play again. You forgot to go home for dinner and were about to go out to find you. These two idiots, father and son", Dad just remembered this.

It's getting late, dad rest first, you have fun. 】

Lu Zhongming's eyes were moist as he watched, remembering that when he was a child, Lu Bu also told himself that after coming here for so long, he even forgot that Bingzhou was his father's hometown.

At the end of the letter, there is no Qilin's supplement, and it is still Lu Bu's handwriting.

【By the way, father will go out with your father-in-law tomorrow, so he won't write you a letter before dinner.

your dad. 】

Lu Zhongming: "..."

Hang out tomorrow, hang out tomorrow, hang out tomorrow…………… That is, at least until the end of next year!There is no letter anymore!God -!

Lu Zhongming looked at the letter in his hand and was about to cry. He sat at the door for a while, feeling so sad that he almost gave up the treatment.

There was a light gray snow in the sky, and Lu Zhongming suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. After all, he had lived here for several months. If he had time, he might go to Yanmen Gate to see the Hutuo River.But now it is evening, and it is too late to come back after going out of the city, so let's take a walk in the city.

The Turkic army has withdrawn. Although Li Jiancheng led the army to attack and drove away the Turkic people, the city still experienced some battles. Many soldiers were shot to death on the city, and countless people were injured by stray arrows. .The Sui soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and moving the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the open space.

"Mr. Lu." Seeing Lu Zhongming coming, the people folded their hands together to show respect. The gesture was neither fish nor fowl, and Lu Zhongming didn't correct it, but just nodded.

"Taoist." The Sui soldier commander stood on the city wall and said to him, "Can you save our soldiers?"

Lu Zhongming smiled gently and explained to him: "Buddhism pays attention to 'transcendence', which means resolving sins and rebirth. Taoism doesn't talk about this."

The commander of the Sui army nodded, not knowing the difference between the two religions. Lu Zhongming saw the cries in the city, and he said: "Open the altar to try, let the heavenly officials pray, let the souls of the dead return to heaven and earth, and protect future generations , yes, is there any incense?"

The people immediately went home to get incense candles, and they didn't need so much for a while. Lu Zhongming pondered for a moment, then took three sticks of incense sticks, lit them, folded his sleeves, and stood in front of the altar.

"Sacrifice to heaven and earth." Lu Zhongming said in a deep voice: "I wish to eliminate military disasters and chaos in the world. If there is a calamity, it will all be attributed to Zhongming. Forgive the sin, the water official will relieve the disaster, and the heavenly star official will be like an edict."

The people talked a lot, looked at Lu Zhongming, saw that he didn't chant scriptures, didn't dance the big god, so they stood there quietly, said a few words, and the snow stopped.

The incense sticks are gradually burning to the end, the clouds and haze under the dark sky begin to open, the golden light of the setting sun casts from the west, illuminating the whole city, the mountains are covered with golden brilliance, the snow gradually melts inside and outside the city, and countless lives live here The land is full of life.

Lv Zhongming smiled, cupped his fists at the Sui soldier commander, who nodded, and Lv Zhongming left with a flick of his sleeves.

When I got home, it was time to have dinner, Qin Qiong said: "Luo Cheng is looking for you."

Lu Zhongming took the bowls and chopsticks and came out to share. Luo Shixin asked, "Where did you go?"

Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around."

Qin Qiong brought food to Lu Zhongming. Seeing that Lu Zhongming was obviously in a better mood, the two of them didn't ask any more questions. They just ate vegetables and grilled rice. Luo Shi said, "Where's the wine?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow, I have to get out of the city early, don't drink." Qin Qiong replied, and put a plate of baked potato shreds in front of Luo Shixin.

Lu Zhongming laughed and said, "When you get to Jinyang, you can drink as much as you want."

Luo Shixin smiled like a ruffian, swiped his chopsticks, put the crispy ones in the middle into Lu Zhongming's bowl, and ate the blackened ones by himself, and said, "You may not have thought too well. You don't know how you went when you went to Jinyang." .”

Lu Zhongming said happily: "Li's family has a lot of money, and he is also the king of Tang. He is looking for an opportunity to rebel. The eldest son and the second son can't rob people. You two can fight again. Unlike me, you can only bluff people. When you arrive in Jinyang, The two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin must be fighting to treat you well, and there is a lot of determination in wine."

Luo Shixin replied with a vague nasal voice, "Both brothers are not good people."

Qin Qiong said: "Is Li Ji his younger brother Li Shimin? I remember when we first met, you seemed to have mentioned his name. What do you think of Li Jiancheng who is here today?"

Lu Zhongming pondered for a while, and asked back: "Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, which one do you think is better?"

Luo Shidao: "I don't even like it."

Qin Qiong said: "The former has a deep city, while the latter... is very polite and not easy to get angry."

Luo Shidao: "The latter will buy people's hearts, the two brothers are similar."

"Well." Knowing the evaluation of Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong, Lu Zhongming knew it well. Qin and Luo are upright, but not blind. Everyone has their own ideas in their hearts, especially Luo Shixin. sincere person.

Lu Zhongming didn't say who is the true son of man. Since Li Shimin has the ability to recruit so many talents under his command and make people willing to serve him, he must not be a hypocritical person who buys people's hearts. Given time, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin You must have your own judgment.

At night, Lu Zhongming lit the lamp and read several letters his father had written to him.

Qin Qiong pushed the door open and came in. Lu Zhongming glanced at him, tidied up his things, and asked without raising his head, "What's the matter?"

"Luo Cheng is snoring." Qin Qiong said, "I can't sleep because of the noise, so come over and squeeze with you."

Lu Zhongming sat in, let him sleep, and folded the letters side by side. Inside were the maps and marching routes that he had drawn with Qin Qiong when he was under Zhang Xutuo's command to discuss the battle situation.

Qin Qiong couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Zhongming: "?"

Qin Qiong: "You still keep these?"

Lu Zhongming: "Well, they are all important information, which may be useful in the future."

Qin Qiong said: "In front of people, you look like a tall man, but behind you, you look like a child."

Lu Zhongming: "Sigh - it's not easy to dawdle, and you can only relax in front of you and Brother Luo. Go to sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Qin Qiong flicked his fingers, turned off the light, and the two lay side by side. The moonlight came in from the window. Qin Qiong accidentally caught a glimpse of Lu Zhongming's family letter. Seeing a few words, he felt uneasy, but he still asked, "Zhongming , do you have something important to do? If you are in a hurry, you don't have to mess around with me and Luo Cheng anymore, or if you tell me about it, we won't go to Jinyang anymore, just go with you. "

Lu Zhongming turned sideways, faced Qin Qiong's face, and looked at him. Qin Qiong was only one year older than himself, and both of them were childish, but Qin Qiong felt very reliable when he was in the army.

"It's really nothing to tell you..." Lu Zhongming picked out some important content of his mission and told Qin Qiong.

These things are almost beyond Qin Qiong's understanding, and Lu Zhongming also knows that he is determined not to know that a person from thousands of years later, knowing the fate of almost everyone, is clever enough to participate in their fate He deliberately avoided the root cause of Jinao Island, only saying that he came from a certain fairy mountain.

After Qin Qiong finished listening, she said: "But Yang Guangli Buddha... Buddhism has nothing to contend with..."

"Yes." Lu Zhongming said: "At the moment, we can only join the Li family's camp first, and then slowly get in touch with the Buddhist family."

"It's really hard for you." Qin Qiong sighed and said, "It's only such a small age, and you have to do such a troublesome thing."

Lu Zhongming smiled and said: "Fortunately, I was anxious for the first few days when I first came here. I just wanted to get things done and go home quickly. I'm used to it now. Maybe I have to stay in the mortal world for ten years, 20 years before I can get back to work." Solve it."

"Are you leaving after finishing?" Qin Qiong asked.

Lu Zhongming hummed, a little sleepy, Qin Qiong said again: "When you leave, you must tell me, don't be afraid of the sadness of parting, just leave without saying a word."

Lu Zhongming thought in his heart that you bastards are destined to become immortals, and when the time comes, he will bring Luo Shixin back to Jinao Island, and said, "No..."

Qin Qiong said something later, but Lu Zhongming hadn't heard it. After a long time, the moonlight shone on Qin Qiong's handsome face. He looked at Lu Zhongming's childish face and sighed softly.

After a few breaths, Lu Zhongming started snoring.

Qin Qiong: "..."

Although the voice was not loud, it was long and short, irregular, and if there was a rhythm at all, Qin Qiong could barely fall asleep.However, Lu Zhongming snored from time to time, and there would be a "crack", stuck for a while, Qin Qiong was going to be driven crazy by him, grabbed the pillow and wanted to press his face, thinking for a long time, had to curl up After laying off the bedding, he went upstairs again.

As soon as he got down the stairs, Luo Shixin's thunderous snoring came down.

Qin Qiong simply threw away the bedding and lay down in the middle of the hall, full of depression, and fell asleep.

The next day, when the three of them left the city, Lu Zhongming was startled when he saw the pile of things that Luo Shixin had packed up with sleepy eyes.

Lu Zhongming was dumbfounded and said, "Do we have so many possessions?"

When they came to Bingzhou, the three of them were empty-handed and only had three horses. Now they packed four big bags, mostly clothes. Qin and Qiong stood aside with dark circles and sniffled.

Luo Shidao: "Brother Qin said that it's not easy to earn some money. These days, you are supporting the family. Except for the things you can't take away and give them to the common people, you can take the rest with you. Things to give away, I Everyone said that you shared it, and those who got the pots and pans said they were the things of living gods, and they were going to take them home and confess."

Lu Zhongming's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "The chamber pot and the like are not given away...don't give it away!"

Qin Qiong really didn't have the energy to talk to him more, so he hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's go, don't talk about this with the little idiot, I don't know what's going on in my head all day long..."

Lu Zhongming was caught on the horse by two people, and before leaving, he wanted to go back and say goodbye to the neighbors in the neighborhood, but Qin Qiong defeated him with exactly one sentence.

"I just said let's go to visit relatives. If people know that you are gone, someone will steal your chamber pot."

Lu Zhongming didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurried out of Dai County with the two of them as if fleeing.

Along the way, the fields were deserted and the fields were deserted. After winter, the two roads were in a mess.

The three of them wandered the official roads for several days, and what they saw were mostly people who came to Bingzhou to live with their families. However, there was no peace anywhere, rebels in the Central Plains were everywhere, and Turks were infested in the borderlands. Seeing this scene, Lu Zhongming couldn't help but I thought, it's time to come out.

After walking for a few days, the official road gradually became lively and popular. There was a boundary marker of Jinyang on the side of the road, which had already entered the boundary. There are tens of thousands of people, just like a scene of Chang'an outside the Great Wall.

The gate is closed tightly, and only the side door is opened to let the people in and out.The interrogation by the officers and soldiers here is very strict. Qin Qiong immediately said: "It should be to guard against Hu people's spies, but we have no paperwork and no token. How do we get in? Have someone report it?"

The three riders were stationed far outside the city gate. Luo Shixin turned his horse's head and leaned toward the city gate. He gestured to the distance and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for us."

Under the gate of the city was a bed, on which a young man was drinking tea. When he saw Qin Qiong's horse, he got up and walked quickly towards them.

"It's not waiting for us." Lu Zhongming guessed in a low voice.

If it was really for the sake of waiting for the three of them, then Corporal Li Xian really came home, but Lu Zhongming then thought about it, the sons of the Li family should all be smart people, especially Li Shimin—since he knew that he had something to do with Yu Chigong, He also knew that he would definitely come, and he would come as soon as possible.

"I'm afraid I'm really waiting for us." Qin Qiong said, "Go and meet him for a while." After saying that, he got off his horse.

That person was Li Ji who visited once, and when he saw the three of them, he smiled from a distance and said, "Lv Zhongming!"

"Li Shimin!" Lu Zhongming also laughed and said, "We meet again."

Luo Shidou said, "This is taking our brothers too seriously. Don't you think it's boring to wait for these two days?"

Li Shimin clasped his fists, acquiesced in his identity, and said with a smile: "According to me, I should go to Dai County. I haven't had the wine we promised last time. But my father asked Shimin to wait under the city wall. The people can only wait, the father's fate is hard to do, and there is no way to be depressed."

The three couldn't help laughing, Li Shimin looked familiar, made a "please" gesture, and ordered: "Open the city gate!"

The gate of Jinyang was slowly pushed open, revealing a panoramic view of the city. There was a straight road leading to the Tang Palace in the center of the city, carved with jade railings, and seven-storey pavilions.The street is lively and bustling, full of bustling scenes.

Even Lu Zhongming himself, who has lived on Jin'ao Island for so many years, has never seen such a bustling grand city in the world. He vaguely feels heroic, as if there is a brand new world, and a door has opened in front of him. , as if walking into real history.As the poem says:

He also brought Tang Yin into Bingzhou, the general and the power is Wuhou, it is difficult to be alone in the world, but the success is in his hand.

Li Shimin turned around and joked, "I've been waiting for two days, I'm really afraid that you won't come."

Lu Zhongming looked into Li Shimin's eyes, and joked with him: "God has ordered us to assist you, so don't dare not come!"

Li Shimin was startled for a moment, then seemed to have a feeling, looked at Lu Zhongming, but Lu Zhongming said, "Brother Shimin, please."

Li Shimin led the way and brought the four of them into this bustling world of flowers and flowers.
