This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 287 The deal is reached
Izumo Aguchi returned to the Dao Palace and told what happened before.

After listening, Lu Sen thought for a while, and said, "Old Lin, please send a letter to the young masters of the Yuan family, asking him to come to the Dao Palace for a talk."

The family general Lao Lin immediately took a few people out.

Izumo Aguchi asked from the side: "Mr. Lang, just now I saw the young master of the Yuan family, and I was very proud. I was afraid that he would insist on his own identity and would not come here."

"Then forget it like this, anyway, they have no way to break through the walls of this Taoist palace." Lu Sen said indifferently.

At the beginning of the design of the Izumo Dao Palace, it was to prevent outsiders from entering at will, and the amount of silver mines below was huge. Lu Sen had no intention of letting in the distrustful Dongying people.

For this reason, there is enough open space in the Taoist Palace, which can be used for farming and breeding.

There is even a large amount of food stored in the large cellars of the Taoist Palace. Even if they are besieged, as long as they don't open the city gates to die, it is not a problem to guard them for ten or eight years.

Izumo Aguchi felt it was a pity, and said: "It would be really great if your power can be recognized by the Emperor."

Lu Sen looked at Izumo Aguchi, smiled, and said nothing.

On the other hand, Lu Xianxian, who was next to him, said, "My husband even clings to the officials in the Central Plains, so how could he care about the ruler of this remote and small country?"

"That's right." Izumo Akuni was stunned for a moment, and she said rather embarrassedly: "I'm confused."

Confused?Actually not necessarily.

Although Akuni Izumo has devoted almost all her loyalty to Lu Sen, the problem is that she is not a heartless person.

My relatives and friends, parents, brothers and sisters are still in the Izumo Shrine.

If the Yuan family really found the Izumo Shrine and destroyed it, she would definitely suffer day and night.

The same is true for Izumo Mariko next to her. Both of them really hope that Lu Sen can establish a real power here. In this way, they can at least protect their relatives.

But several other people could understand the thoughts of the two of them, and they didn't feel anything. This is a very normal thing.

Who doesn't cherish their loved ones?
If the two of them were really ruthless, Lu Sen would think carefully about whether they should stay in the Lu family.

"This time I invited the young master of the Yuan family to come over and talk to him about the Izumo Shrine." Lu Sen said to the two witches with a smile.

The two witches of the Izumo family also understood what Lu Sen said, and they felt a little ashamed even if they were moved.

In fact, in Lu Sen's view, the young master of the Yuan family should not dare to keep the appointment.

But to his surprise, Yuan Laiyi not only came to the appointment, but also came alone.

Lu Sen received him on the main hall square.

It was night at this time, although the mountain wind was very cold and even whistling, but the surrounding city walls blocked most of the wind, and only a slight breeze passed over the square.

A nice blanket with some low tables on it.

Lu Sen naturally sat on one side with Lu Xianxian, Xue Nu and others, and Yuan Laiyi on the other.

Lu Sen and the others sat cross-legged, very relaxed.

Yuan Laiyi, on the other hand, was sitting on his knees, his body was very straight and rigid, and he looked very imposing.

This is the heir cultivated by the big family with painstaking efforts, and naturally has his own temperament and demeanor.

It's just that Yuan Laiyi's expression is a little strange now. His eyes have been moving back and forth between Xue Nu and Lu Xianxian, and finally fell more on Lu Xianxian.

This is normal. Although Xuenv is also very beautiful, compared with Qingqiu Fox, there is still a gap.

Finally, his eyes fell on Lu Sen, and he said in admiration, "You are indeed the divine master served by Miko Izumo. It is really extraordinary."

Lu Xianxian and Xue Nu sat next to Lu Sen, one on the left and the other on the right. Here in Dongying, this in itself is a manifestation of 'ownership'.

Not to mention Lu Senren's beauty, even such a beautiful fairy is his concubine... Yuan Laiyi is very envious.

Lu Sen didn't know much about Dongpu's customs, and thought that the other party was just amazed at his own style. He smiled and said, "Please come up, young master of the Yuan family, just to hear what you said...the territory of influence."

Yuan Laiyi saw that when Lu Sen opened his mouth, it was a matter of territory, and he thought that he had made the right bet, but all temples would involve this aspect, and he would be very concerned about it.

"As someone said, after Abe's family was defeated by us, it means that the power of Onmyoji was driven away by us." Minamoto Laiyi talked eloquently: "At present, in Ping'an capital, there is an urgent need for a temple that can stabilize the hearts of the people. Appear."

Lu Sen was stunned for a moment: "Can't Buddhism work?"

"The Heike family!" Minamoto Laiyi said indifferently: "The eminent Buddhist monks are almost all members of the Heike family."

The Heike family has a good relationship with the Abe family, and has conflicts with the Minamoto family in terms of interests. Therefore, once the Buddhism represented by the Heike family fills the religious belief gap in Heian-kyo, the Minamoto family will become very passive.

Therefore, if Lu Sen, a divine master who can make "fairies" appear, can stand on the side of the Yuan family, he can effectively curb the spread of the Heike Buddhism and relieve the great pressure on the Yuan family.

Although Lu Sen doesn't know much about the situation in Japan, there is a reference for everything. As long as the word 'interest' is included, many things can be sorted out easily.

"I understand what Young Master Yuan means." Lu Sen nodded: "But I have a small number of people here, and I don't care about world affairs, so it's hard to meet the requirements of your Yuan family."

Yuan Laiyi frowned subconsciously. He thought that Lu Sen was trying to retreat and gain greater benefits from his Yuan family.

In his heart, it is not necessarily Lu Sen's role to counter the Ping family's Buddhism, but Lu Sen obviously has magical skills, as can be seen from the snow girl flying up and down.

A sect with divine arts is better than a casually found small sect, or an unreliable cult.

But at this time Lu Sen continued: "If Young Master Yuan is willing to let me take the Izumo Shrine to Heianjing, I can agree to cooperate with you."

The Izumo Shrine is a branch of the Abe family... Minamoto Laiyi took a deep breath: "God, your condition is too unrealistic."

Now that Abe and Yuanjia are already deadly enemies, let Izumo Shrine manage the congregation in Heian-kyo?

Isn't this a chance for the other party to recover again?

Does he look so stupid?

Lu Sen smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry, Master Yuan. The Izumo Shrine must be my shrine, not the Abe family's shrine."

Yuan Laiyi understood, he hesitated for a while, and asked: "But how to prove that the Lord Shen is not from the Abe family?"

"My surname is Lu, and my name is Sen. I am from the Central Plains."

The young master of the Yuan family jumped up in fright.

Although the Izumo Taoist Temple has been established for almost three years, it has never communicated with the outside world. Naturally, others do not know the details of the Taoist Temple.

And the Abe family, the Heike family, etc., who knew the details of the Izumo Taoist temple, did not spread the story of Lu Sen everywhere, but chose to rot in their stomachs.

As a result, the Gen family didn't know the origin and background of the Izumo Taoist Temple.

"Are you really the Immortal of the Western Heaven, Lu Longtu?"

Dongying worshiped the Northern Song Dynasty very much, and the major events that happened in the Northern Song Dynasty usually would not exceed two months before being reported to Dongying.

Lu Sen's reputation has been spread far and wide for at least five years, and the nobles of Dongpu have also heard of his name, but they have never heard of him or seen him.

Now hearing Lu Sen's name, Yuan Laiyi would naturally be frightened.

He looked at Lu Sen, then at the unbelievably beautiful Lu Xianxian and Xuenv, and murmured, "No wonder, no wonder."

He sort of understood why a spectacular Taoist temple suddenly appeared in the Izumo National Assembly, and also understood why Abe's remnant soldiers would deliberately 'lead' them near this Taoist temple before.

It turned out that they were thinking that their Yuan family would start a war with Lu Longtu, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was cautious enough before and did not mess around.

But then he became happy again: "Lu Longtu, you want to subdue the Izumo Shrine? If there is a need, please feel free to ask, the Yuan family will do their best to help, and will never neglect."

He is now thinking of forming a good relationship with Lu Sen.

According to the rumors, Lu Longtu had a lot of treasures in his hands, the most useful ones were those that could prolong life.

Although Yuan Laiyi is still young, it doesn't mean he won't grow old.

In lifespan, of course, the more the better.

Lu Sen smiled and said: "As I said just now, as long as the manpower problem is solved, enter the Ping'an capital, and form an alliance with the Yuan family, there will be no problem."

"Don't worry, I will immediately surround the Izumo Shrine." Minamoto Laiyi clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Only by the order of Lu Zhenren can we make our Gen family retreat."

On the road!

This kid is on the road.Lu Sen was a little impressed. He didn't know much about the history of Dongpu, but judging by the pattern of the opponent, there should be a name left in the history of Dongpu.

"Well, since the matter has been discussed, let's talk about some romantic things." Lu Sen asked curiously: "I don't know the young master of the Yuan family, have you ever heard of a book called "The Tale of Genji"?"

The young master of the Yuan family became embarrassed on the spot.

This book is actually... It has been 'hot' in Heian capital for decades, and it actually talks about their Yuan family, as well as some absurd things about the royal family and its branches.

I thought that the book was only circulated among the nobles of Heian capital, but I didn't expect that even the immortals of the heaven in the west had heard of it?
Seeing the subtle expression of the young master of the Yuan family, Lu Sen understood, does this book really exist now?
In fact, not only do they exist, the original version is even written in Chinese characters, but they are not used to express meaning, but to express sound in Chinese characters.

Seeing Lu Sen's curious expression, Yuan Laiyi was so embarrassed that he could only fidget, so he could only say awkwardly: "If Lu Longtu likes it, I will send you Ben the next day. Let's take my leave here and don't disturb Lu Longtu's rest."

Dongying aristocrats regard themselves as spiritual Northern Song people. They consider themselves Dongying people and Song people. After all, they have Song people's blood, so it is reasonable to call themselves "xiaguan".

"Go slowly." Lu Sen nodded, "Bring some fruits back home."

Yuan Laiyi immediately became happy. It is rumored that the fruit produced by Lu Longtu's family can cure all diseases and heal bones. As long as the other party gives it to him, he must take it.

After Yuan Laiyi left, the two sisters of the Izumo Miko appeared, and Yingying bowed down: "Thank you for protecting the Izumo Shrine."

"They're all from my own family. It's too alien to say thank you." Lu Sen then turned his head and said to Lu Xianxian, "I'm going back to the Central Plains tomorrow. The things here are not big things. I have to stay in Dingzhou and leave Taizhou." It’s not good for a long time. I will leave an aircraft tomorrow, and you and Xuenv will stay here for the time being to help the two sisters solve their worries.”

Talking about it, he took out a dozen pieces of spiritual energy bricks from the system backpack and stuffed them into Lu Xianxian's arms: "When you need to beat someone up, don't be stingy with spiritual energy, just be happy with yourself."

"Listen to my lord." Lu Xianxian smiled happily.

In fact, she also wanted to stay in Dongying for a long time before going to Heianjing.

After all, she has been here for more than 300 years. Although half of the time is sleeping, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is her second hometown in terms of time.

As for Xuenv... She wanted to spend more time in Japan more than Lu Xianxian did.

Back then, Lu Sen slept in the Taoist Palace for one night, and there was a small episode... Izumo Akuni and Izumo Mariko wanted to come to serve, but Lu Sen drove them away.

The two of them thought they came here quietly, but they didn't know about it, but they were actually noticed by Lu Xianxian and Xue Nu.

Both of them are great monsters, their souls are far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and both of them are actually aware of the troubles in the Taoist palace.

It's actually the same in the Lu family, except that when the two of them were in the Lu family, they would consciously close their 'sensing' abilities.

This is a respect for Lu Sen, Yang Jinhua and others.

Hearing the lost footsteps of the Izumo Miko sisters back to the room not far away, Yukino couldn't help laughing and said: "Xianxian, if you don't work harder, maybe these two Miko sisters will have to walk ahead of you. "

Lu Xianxian gave Xue Nu an annoyed look and said, "My husband and I are innocent, you'd better think about it a few times before you speak."

"I know you are innocent." Xue Nu smiled ruthlessly and kindly: "But I also know that you may not want to be innocent anymore. If you don't show it anymore, then I, a good sister, will find a way to pester you." Oh, my lord."

Lu Xianxian looked at Xue Nu quietly for a while, neither happy nor sad, and finally smiled and said: "Okay, you can try."

Xuenv couldn't figure out Lu Xianxian's thoughts for a while, and felt that life was boring, so she meditated and rested.

On the second day, Lu Sen left by himself in the aircraft.

The four women who stayed behind lived in the Taoist temple for several days before they took an aircraft together and found the Izumo Shrine in the deep mountains and old forests in the northwest under the guidance of Izumo Akuni.

The Izumo Shrine was established after Lu Xianxian fell asleep.

In Lu Xianxian's impression during this period, the Izumo Shrine should be a very large shrine, with at least hundreds of thousands of shrine maidens, onmyojis, servants, etc. inside.

But... When she got to the sky above the shrine, she realized that the so-called Izumo Shrine is actually not that big. Just barely over a hundred.

It is far from the impression of the Thousand People Grand Society.

Then the aircraft circled a few times at the high altitude of the shrine, and found a group of ashigaru surrounded by the foot of the shrine.

"Minara Yoriyoshi is quite capable. He said he wanted to surround the Izumo Shrine, and he did."
