Chapter 85 How can I enjoy the worship without the tiger's body shaking?
After the robbers were dealt with, Lu Xingshi burned the village, and buried the corpses and remains in a cemetery. After taking out some food and drinks as offerings, he finally leave.
Pei Ming became entangled with Lu Xingshi.
The main reason was that Lu Xingshi was a bitch. He introduced himself and even said that he wanted to investigate the disaster situation in Tongzhou, and then things got into trouble.
The other party bowed his head directly, saying that he wanted to repay the favor and followed Lu Xingshi to Tongzhou to provide disaster relief.
Originally, Lu Xingshi wanted to drop Pei Ming in the next village or town and set off on his own, but he ended up relying on Lu Xingshi.
However, after the exchange, Lu Xingshi also saw that Pei Ming was still very capable, and his experience and knowledge were even more impressive. He was obviously highly educated.
Coupled with the other party's persistence, Lu Xingshi had no choice but to agree, mainly because of Pei Ming's ability. Otherwise, relying on his master's ability, the disaster relief would probably be a mess, or even I didn’t even know I was getting pocketed in the process.
With Pei Ming's help, it should be better.
With further communication, Lu Xingshi also learned more about Pei Ming, who was also a frightening scroll king.
But he only involves himself, not others.
It's a pity that due to bad luck, he ended up like this.
"Young master, did you really kill the Tiange Pass all by yourself and force the barbarian chief Aha to retreat by holding his head?" Pei Ming was also very curious about Lu Xingshi's deeds.
The whole world knew that the Golden Crow God General defeated the barbarian chiefs and regained Tiange Pass. There were even rumors that Aha Chu did not dare to go south across the Tianzhi Mountains precisely because of the presence of Lu Xingshi.
"That's not true." Lu Xingshi said.
"Let me just say, the rumors are not credible." Pei Ming also felt that it was not that outrageous.
"Yes, the rumors are not credible at all. He chose to retreat on his own." Lu Xingshi felt that some details were missing, so he added: "If he had fought to the death and refused to retreat, I might not have killed the barbarian army, but had to Then all ten thousand barbarians must be killed.”
"Then maybe after I finish killing, reinforcements from the King of Liao will arrive, and it will be difficult to explain the origin of so many corpses." Lu Xingshi sighed with emotion.
"..." Pei Ming didn't know what to say for a moment. The truth was even more outrageous than the rumors.
Choosing to retreat means that he was scared away, not even to the extent of being forced by Lu Xingshi.
So he was wondering how fierce Lu Xingshi was, and he could actually have such ability.
"I heard that when King Wu occupied Jiangnan and rebelled, were you also involved in the young master's family?" Pei Ming thought of another rumor, but compared to the incident of the Tiange Pass retreating the barbarians, it seemed a bit like a rumor.
Therefore, the spread is not very wide, and people who know it also sneer at it.
How could a person like the Golden Crow God General, who was loyal to his emperor and serving his country, get mixed up with rebellion? Someone must have maliciously slandered him.
This led to the fact that the matter was true or false and was treated as a casual chat after dinner.
Pei Ming is not from Jianghu, so he only knows these two deeds of Lu Xingshi. As for the fact that Longmenmen defeated the master with one move, he naturally doesn't know.
Now that I happen to be here, wouldn't it be much better to ask the truth than to listen to the rumors outside.
Mainly because the previous rumors about Tiangeguan were not enough to prove Lu Xingshi's fierceness, he always felt that Lu Xingshi had more unknown fierce deeds.
These things are something that can only be met by chance. If he wanted to know before, there would be no way at all. Now he can directly show up and explain.
"Well..." Lu Xingshi scratched his head: "Things are more complicated. We have to go back to last year when the soldiers in Saibei were owed half a year's pay..."
Pei Ming couldn't help but trembled. Well, there was indeed aniseed in it. He didn't expect the involvement to be so complicated.
So he naturally cheered up and listened carefully to what Lu Xingshi said.
Gossip is human nature, and Pei Ming is certainly no exception.
After listening to Lu Xingshi's summary, Pei Ming's original gossip mentality turned into shock.
"So the two vassal kings of Wu and Liao did not rebel at all, but rebelled against the Qing emperor. This..." Pei Ming's face wrinkled up.
"If Ahachu hadn't occupied Saibei, the old emperor would have rehabilitated these two sons by now."
"But as soon as the cession of territory and the annual gift came out, we were determined not to redress. These two people had no choice but to rebel. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to losing their country." Lu Xingshi told the reason, and then responded: "In addition, all Those who know about it are afraid that not many people will survive.”
He really didn't notice this at first, but now he thinks about it, all the princes in the court have been killed, what's the difference between the old emperor and these few people?
"Then young master, you..." Pei Ming asked with some worry. Lu Xingshi was also an insider, so wouldn't he also take action against Lu Xingshi?
"If he doesn't dare, I will send his whole family on their way." Lu Xingshi said calmly.
Since the last time Lu Xingshi caused the poisoning case in the Imperial College and the Wen Dang assassination incident, the old emperor had not dared to see Lu Xingshi, and he was extremely strict in dealing with poisoning, for fear that Lu Xingshi would poison him to death.
I also thought about getting rid of Lu Xingshi, but the palace master of Huangjue Palace said something like "I want to be Aha" and fell silent.
Regarding Lu Xingshi's answer, Pei Ming could only say that you are indeed extraordinary.
"I see that your conversational skills are not ordinary. How come you are not a good scholar?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously. It can't be because of poor handwriting.
"Alas, I thought I was not good at studying, but today I heard what the young master said, and I realized that I had violated the taboo of the court."
"In the volume of policy essays, I wrote about strengthening military preparations. Now I think about it, how can this be accepted." Pei Ming sighed. Most of what he wrote was for the development of Dasong, but he didn't expect that he would fail repeatedly because of this.
"Don't you want to take the exam again? Now the old emperor has eliminated the literary party and has the intention of giving equal importance to civil and military affairs. With your talent, it should be no problem for you to pass the imperial examination." Lu Xingshi gave a suggestion.
However, Pei Ming shook his head: "Dasong, it's corrupt."
He hated it too. He was dissatisfied with Dasong's 1 million years of peace and ceding the northern frontier, recognizing the barbarians as kings, and now he heard that the old emperor took the blame for his son and started a big prison. How could he have a good impression?
"I know what you want to say is that in the temple, officials are made of rotten wood, and beasts eat the salary between the steps of the palace; people with wolves and dogs are in power, and servile people are in power. As a result, the country is in ruins and the people are suffering." Lu Xingshi thought of this line of words.
"I never thought that you are so literary..."
"No, I copied it. This paragraph is from Zhuge Liang's scolding Wang Lang to death." Lu Xingshi said the source. He would not be a plagiarist. After all, he did not have such a good talent.
"Uh... Young Master, you are really honest, but this is not called plagiarism, it should be called quotation." Pei Ming did not expect that Lu Xingshi would actually say this.
"It doesn't matter whether it is a quotation or a plagiarism. Anyway, as long as you know that it is not written by me, it's fine." For Lu Xingshi, the key is not to add any messy titles to his head. If it is not his, Lu Xingshi will not take it for himself, especially in this case where there is no interest.
"After Cai Qiuhe died, the old emperor took power, but he didn't do better. This is not like a monarch." Pei Ming did not continue to dwell on the issue of copying and quoting, but returned to the original topic.
"That's true. Cai Qiuhe's ability is eight streets ahead of the old emperor's family. If he hadn't sent people to kill my master and burned my Langya Pavilion, I wouldn't have come to him for no reason to oppose him." Lu Xingshi recognized Cai Qiuhe's ability.
If the old emperor and Cai Qiuhe's identities were reversed, this kind of thing would never happen. The Wen Dao Hall would be killed, and maybe the four tribes of barbarians and barbarians would also die.
Unfortunately, there is no if. As the prime minister, Cai Qiuhe is inherently unable to exert his own abilities, and even his energy will be involved in the struggle within the Wen Party.
The Wen Party is the entire civil service group. Even if he is the leader, he cannot avoid internal conflicts of interest.
"Since the young master is going to provide disaster relief, I'm afraid he must be on guard against the court in this matter." Pei Ming's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
In his eyes, Lu Xingshi is a good man, otherwise he would not have saved him, and now he is going to Tongzhou, the place of exile.
If this matter is exposed, the court will definitely not forgive Lu Xingshi, and Pei Ming's impression of the court is naturally negative.
"Although the old emperor controls the capital, there are still remnants of the literary party in various places, and they have taken action against Jiangnan first, which has already alerted the enemy. Now many officials are thinking about making a fortune and leaving, and Tongzhou must be more serious."
"I am afraid that if one bucket of rice goes in, nine liters of rice will go into the pockets of officials and wealthy families."
"So it is necessary to punish them with severe punishment." Pei Ming exudes a certain sinister temperament.
Seeing this, Lu Xingshi is also a little bit of a wow, what the hell is going on with you, why do you have this temperament.
If he has activated the acquired characteristics of a murderer, he is a violent and natural enemy of humans, and Pei Ming is a poisonous snake lurking in the river, vicious and strong.
He was just like an ordinary person before, but why did he change his personality when he talked about calculations? Could he have a dual personality?
"Well, I'll leave it to you when the time comes. I'll be responsible for paying, and my master will run errands for you." Lu Xingshi held down the agitated Pei Ming.
"Young master... this is not appropriate." Pei Ming felt that asking the master to run errands for him was a big deal.
"It's okay, my master wouldn't do it either. He was originally a man of the world, and now he's eager for someone to give him advice." Lu Xingshi explained.
When Pei Ming heard this, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes. He guessed that the person who really held power in Langya Pavilion was the young master Lu Xingshi.
But thinking about it again, it was also normal. Murong Xuan only had Lu Xingshi as a disciple, so it didn't matter who held power.
It's not the emperor's royal family, so there are no such things.
