Chapter 442: Smile and Enmity
ps: Thank you upngtng52 for your monthly vote, thank you~~~~~~~~
Looking at the paper foam scattered under his feet, Lu Na felt surprisingly, as if the humiliation of the past had truly become a thing of the past. A huge boulder fell from his heart, and his face became slightly relaxed, which made him look at Yun in a daze.
Feng, he couldn't figure out this person's intention.
Yun Feng smiled slightly and said: "The past is over. From now on, no one will mention this matter again, and you don't have to take it to heart. Now time is running out. You should take me to see Dazhongzheng as soon as possible. It is about your Lu family's life and death. Don't just be in a daze."
,Um?"
Yunfeng's amiable smile made it difficult for Lu Na to connect with the arrogant and energetic man a few years ago.
Lu Na quickly shook his head. He wanted to see more clearly whether the person in front of him was that person or not.[
He is still the same person. Several years have passed, and the vicissitudes of time have not left any trace on his face. However, the aggressive edge at the beginning has disappeared, and instead there is peace and restraint between his eyebrows.
Gradually, Lu Na came out of his initial daze. He suddenly realized that the purpose of Yunfeng's adventurous trip was to recruit the Lu family, but with the Lu family reduced to the current situation, how could it be of any value? Although Lu Na was a typical example
He is a playboy, but he is not a fool. He understands that there is no free meal in the world.
Moreover, he was also worried that if he took refuge in Yunfeng, due to his previous hostile relationship, would this person remember his old grudges in the future? Although the IOU was destroyed, an IOU could not explain much and could be interpreted as a means to win people's hearts.
The family took refuge in Liu Kun, but not only did they get no benefits, but ended up being skinned and sucked out of blood. This was still based on hatred. What about Yunfeng? Lu Na was quite hesitant.
Xun Guanniang couldn't help but urge: "Zu Yan, why are you so indecisive? If you don't take King Qin to go, is it possible that King Qin can't go on his own? King Qin comes to find you to resolve the grievances he had with you back then. Okay. The situation is urgent. It's time to go.
Your father already knows that, if you don’t want to lead the way, we’ll just knock you out and go on your own!”
Lu Na thought the same thing. If someone could reach his own room without anyone noticing, would it be useful if he didn't lead the way? It could only be regarded as a sign of lack of courage, and he would be looked down upon. He would also suffer a lot.
So, Lu Na quickly straightened his face and stretched out his hand to signal: "My father is probably not asleep yet. Please come, King Qin!"
Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction and took Xun Guanniang out first.
Lu Ye lived in a courtyard next door. When he saw Yunfeng and Xun Guanniang walking in accompanied by Lu Na, their haggard old faces immediately showed a look of joy after being startled.
, the political sense he had honed over the years in the officialdom enabled him to keenly grasp the key to Yunfeng's trip, and his already desperate mood suddenly rekindled a glimmer of hope!
At this point, he dumped his eldest son more than ten times.
Yunfeng also noticed the change in Lu Ye's expression, exchanged glances with Xun Guanniang, and both nodded slightly. It seemed that it was easier to deal with someone who understood!
From a distance, Yunfeng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Don't you feel sick, Dazhongzheng?" His words were kind and natural, and he looked like an old friend for many years, as if all the unpleasantness had never happened.
Lu Ye secretly admired him, thinking that if he could lift things up, let go, and be open-minded, it would be no wonder that he would make a name for himself in this troubled world. At this time, Lu Ye no longer dared to show contempt, he had already lost
Despising Yunfeng's qualifications, Yunfeng grew into a being who could control his destiny.
Lu Ye returned the salute awkwardly. He smiled bitterly and said: "King Qin, please don't laugh at me. Doesn't the King Qin not know how bad my Lu family is now? Alas, it's too late to regret!" After sighing, he stood towards Yunfeng.
Lu Na behind him signaled: "Zu Yan, go to the back hall quickly and serve tea to King Qin and Guan Niang's niece!"
Xun Guanniang couldn't help but shiver. Xi Jian and Bian Yi both called her Guan Niang's niece. It didn't matter. Xun Guanniang could accept it calmly. However, it was not a good feeling to call her from Lu Ye's mouth. After all,
Although we couldn't say we were hostile back then, we didn't like each other. Now we greet each other with smiles, which we are not used to!
However, what can you do if you are not used to it? Xun Guanniang could only force a smile and said: "Uncle Lu Shi is so polite."
Yunfeng waved his hand: "Don't bother me, Mr. Dalang. I'm just here to say a few words. There are plenty of opportunities to drink tea."
Lu Na turned his attention to his father. Lu Ye understood that Yunfeng's late-night visit was not just for solicitation, but must have other important matters, so he did not hesitate and welcomed Yunfeng and Xun Guanniang into the banquet.
Yunfeng asked: "I don't know how Dazhongzheng can know the external situation?"[
Lu Ye shook his head bitterly: "Ever since Grand Situ and Zhongshu Supervisor left Jiankang, my residence has been besieged. Except for food being delivered regularly and rationed, no one is allowed to go out. Alas~~ I can only stand on the high-rise building.
Only by looking far away can we guess some changes in the situation. A few days ago, I saw thick smoke billowing from the river, and then the whole city was jumping up and down. I knew that the King of Qin was coming, but I really don’t know anything else!"
Yun Feng pondered for a while and then said: "Su Jun, the internal history of Liyang, and the Yue tribe of the original ancestors of Huainan have surrendered to our Qin country. Now we have more than 100,000 troops stationed in Liyang, surrounded by Haimen, Jingkou, Stone City and Baidang Lake.
Yes, by the way, Wu
Domestic Shi Yubing also led his troops to Jingkou a few days ago. Now all Liu Kun can do is to fight to the death. However, he has betrayed his relatives and separated, and the only one he can rely on is the unreliable Murong tribe. Defeat is only a matter of time!
Many estates of your Wu clan have been temporarily occupied by the Murong tribe. Liu Kun's character must be deeply felt by Dazhongzheng. As for the unpleasantness you and I had before, let's not mention it. Today I just want to ask Dazhongzheng,
Are you willing to abandon Liu and return to Qin, and create a peaceful and prosperous age with Gu?"
Without thinking, Lu Ye stood up and bowed deeply: "King Qin, don't try to kill me. If you can get King Qin to ignore the past grudges, I, the Lu family, are sincere and frightened. I am willing to follow Ji Wei from now on. Once Liu Kun is defeated,
I am willing to take the lead in Wu County to retreat from the over-occupied fields and mountains, and at the same time release the tenants and maidservants. In short, I will definitely obey the laws of the Qin State and not cause trouble to the King of Qin, and I can persuade Zhongzhi and Jun Xiao on my behalf!"
Lu Ye made the guarantee in one breath. In fact, everyone knew that this was a desperate move forced by the situation. What would happen if he did not return it? The land was occupied by the Xianbei people. Even if the Xianbei people were driven away, Yunfeng would still be able to return it.
Will you return it to him again? It's impossible even if you think about it. If you don't understand the situation, I'm afraid it will cause another disaster. It's better to be generous and admit it as a fact.
Although Lu Ye agreed readily, there was a hint of pain on his face. Xun Guanniang couldn't help but persuade him: "Uncle Lu Shi, I'm afraid you don't know something. My father has already made a decision. In the future, if Duanshan takes over the world, he will return it all to Qiantang."
With the great land and mountains, I believe that Da Situ, Zhong Shujian and others will also take action after hearing the news.
Speaking of which, this is not our thing, but it is just a powerful family like us. Taking advantage of the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the court tried to stop us from taking advantage of it. Over time, it became an agreement and a custom. Now the new dynasty will be established.
, a prosperous age can be expected, it’s time to hand it back.
Although we have lost our land and have difficulty adapting for a while, we can develop in other directions. In the past few years, Liangzhou merchants have traveled to the Western Regions, and those of a certain size can make at least one million in profits every year. In addition, the title given by Duanshan can also
Farms are no longer awarded, but shops are allocated according to grade. Even if you don't run the business and rent it out to others, the annual rent is still a lot of money!
Also, Xi Xuan, the eldest daughter of the minister, led a group of ladies to run a garment business. When things were relatively peaceful a while ago, they could make hundreds of thousands of net profits every year. This was just a slap in the face of Jiankang and its surrounding areas.
In the future, if the country is unified and the world is unified, how much money can we make by marketing it nationwide? My niece is jealous just thinking about it! Isn't it much better than farming?"
"That's right, that's right! I will adapt as soon as possible." Hearing that the gentry with the surname Qiao also wanted to give up their manor land, Lu Ye's mentality immediately became balanced. Since ancient times, the traditional psychology of the Chinese people has been to see that others have but not themselves.
Jealousy, but no one has it and can accept it calmly. This is not worrying about the shortage but worrying about the inequality.
Yunfeng secretly shook his head. Although Lu Ye's thoughts could be guessed, there was no way to do it at the moment. People's hearts were broken. This could not be solved by a few decrees in a short time. It must be gradually guided in a relatively fair and just environment, so that the society
The atmosphere gradually formed a virtuous cycle.
Yun Feng quickly put this idea aside, bowed his hand to Lu Ye, and praised: "It's great that Dazhong is willing to set an example. I'd like to thank you here!"
Lu Ye didn't dare to shout and stepped aside, then frowned again, stroking his beard and asked: "The Qin army is about to cross the river, I wonder if I, the Lu family, can contribute anything?"
Yunfeng secretly praised Lu Ye for knowing the current affairs, so he said without hesitation: "I came here this time, and I really need to ask Da Langjun for help." Then, he told everything about the defeat in the first battle with Liu Kun, as well as the countermeasures.
Suddenly, Lu Ye was filled with joy and anger. He was angry because he did not expect that Liu Kun's navy that had snatched him would be used for such a purpose. However, he was happy because he could contribute to defeating Liu Kun. Lu Ye, who had lost at the starting line, could have someone to catch up with.
Opportunities for gentry with overseas surnames.
Lu Na had just put on an angry look on his face, and was about to scold Liu Kun, and then responded without hesitation. Lu Na's expression changed drastically, and he said repeatedly: "Liu Kun's water village is heavily defended, so it is difficult to sneak in, and Na has not been in charge of the navy for a long time.
It’s hard to say whether the soldiers will believe it or not.”
"You bastard!" Lu Ye was really angry. He felt his cheeks burning hot. If Yunfeng and Xun Guanniang weren't there, he would have wanted to step forward and slap him hard! His own face was completely humiliated!
How can he achieve great things if he has no sense of responsibility? Lu Ye could see at a glance that the eldest son was actually timid and afraid of things when he said so much. Although he himself was arrogant and had many shortcomings, he still had the character and would not shrink from fear.
If you are facing a certain death situation, you will never beg for mercy. When Lu Ye was captured alive by Yunfeng, he refused to ask for mercy!
Lu Ye said angrily: "You evil beast! Do you think you can't destroy Liu Kun Shuihan without you? The King of Qin pities the lives of our soldiers and civilians in Wu County and doesn't want to cause more killings. Can't you see that? Hmph! The King of Qin is compassionate.
Taking risks lightly,
