() Lu Shixun's shock was no small matter. For Chu Huan, he remembered it deeply, and he would never forget that face until he died. He never thought that the person who came out of the carriage was actually his enemy.

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said, "Does Mr. Lu know Mr. Chu?"

Lu Shixun couldn't believe it, his eyes showed resentment, but Chu Huan had already smiled and said: "I think Mr. Lu will never forget me. Mr. Lu, are you all right?"

Lu Shixun couldn't help clenching his fists, and couldn't help asking Yuan Chongshang: "My lord governor, who is this?" ..

"This is Mr. Chu, the imperial envoy sent by the capital." Yuan Chongshang didn't know the grievances between Chu Huan and Lu Shixun. Seeing the cars and horses in front of the door, he asked, "Is Commander Li here?"

Lu Shixun forced a smile and said, "Commander Li has just entered the garden." Looking at Chu Huan, he saw Chu Huan looking at him with a smile, as if an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years was reunited.

At this moment, I heard laughter, and I saw a group of people crowding out from the yard. First of all, a person was wearing a dark blue brocade robe. He was about 50 years old. With a face and a hooked nose, Lu Shixun and him seemed to be carved out of the same mold. Chu Huan knew that this person must be Lu Lengyue, the head of the Lu family, with just one glance.

Lu Lengyue's feet are strong, but his steps are fast. Before he gets close, he has already arched his hands. Behind him are more than a dozen rich and wealthy gentry. Lu Lengyue said from a distance: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, I'm neglecting you, come here, the luxuriant plants are shining, the humble house is really full of gold and jade!" ..

Yuan Chongshang had already stepped forward and said with a smile: "Dong Lu's family, your words are exactly the same as your son's. The governor just said that if your Lu Yuan is a humble house, there will be no houses in the entire Taiyuan Mansion for people to see. "

Lu Lengyue was startled, and then burst out laughing, "Your Excellency, you are joking." Seeing Chu Huan with a puzzled look on his face, Yuan Chongshang introduced him again, and Lu Lengyue immediately restrained her smile, showing a look of awe , with a deep bow, said: "The imperial envoy is here, and I am far away from welcoming you, please don't blame the imperial envoy."

Chu Huan bowed his hand to return the salute without saying a word, Lu Lengyue had already raised his hand and said, "Please, my lords, Commander Li, and several other lords in charge are already waiting in the hall!"

Yuan Chongshang was also polite, and walked into the courtyard side by side with Chu Huan. Chu Huan glanced at Lu Shixun at the side, and saw that Lu Shixun's body seemed a little unbalanced when he was walking, and soon found that Lu Shixun's leg seemed to have some problems. While walking, that leg seemed to be a little crooked, and he couldn't help asking softly: "Mr. Lu's leg...!"

As soon as he said this, Lu Shixun's complexion became even more ugly, and there was an unconcealable hatred in his eyes, but Lu Bingyue already smiled and said: "When the puppy was riding, he accidentally fell off the horse, so he fell down. Hidden disease, let the imperial envoy laugh."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I don't see laughter, I don't see laughter." Suddenly he remembered that when Lu Shixun was in Yunshan Mansion, he intended to be violent to Lin Lang, but he mercilessly taught this kid a lesson, but he clearly remembered this kid I kicked him hard in the crotch a few times, but now I vaguely remembered that Lu Shixun's leg seemed to be his own masterpiece, and it was no wonder that Lu Shixun had such a look of hatred in his eyes. Not leaking, covering up the past understatement, the old guy had a smile on his face, it seemed that Lu Shixun's leg was really the result of his fall.

Although there were many guests, the Lu family had a great business, not only had many servants, but also many clansmen, and they were arranged very well. Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan were arranged to sit at the main table in the main hall. The main hall was very grand, with more than ten tables set up. This is not enough, but there are more than a dozen tables set up in the spacious courtyard outside the main hall.

The festive lanterns were like clouds, and the lights were brilliant everywhere. When Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang entered the hall, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone on the left and right saluted Yuan Chongshang. Several people were made, this table was made of nanmu, it was a big round table, it could seat more than ten people without feeling too crowded, Chu Huan remained silent. < is having a good conversation with a person sitting next to you.

When Chu Huan and others came over, all the people at the table stood up immediately, Commander Li Wangsun Li also opened his eyes, seeing Chu Huan beside Yuan Chongshang, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.

As everyone clasped their hands, Yuan Chongshang had already introduced Chu Huan to everyone. Li Wangsun raised his brows and said with a smile, "Master Chu's name has been heard for a long time. Xiliang and his party have shown our country's prestige. We can see you today. Sure enough." A young hero."

Chu Huan cupped his hands and smiled. Since he was an imperial envoy and represented His Majesty the Emperor, he naturally wanted to sit on the chief seat. Chu Huan humbly made way and sat down. On the left was Prince Li, and on the right was Yuan Chongshang.

The main guests were seated, and the other guests were also seated one after another. The hall was brightly lit, and being in it, it was completely impossible to feel that it was night.

This is a big banquet, and it is also the time for the Lu family to show everyone the strength of Taiyuan's No.

Delicious delicacies came up one after another, but in a short while, the table was full of dishes, delicious and delicious. Lu Lengyue, who was accompanying the main table, already smiled and said: "Everyone, the cooks of the four major restaurants in Taiyuan City were all killed by me. I found it here, and changed the place, and I don’t know how they taste, so everyone should try it.” <Had laughed and said: “Lu Dong’s family is really big. On weekdays, when you go to a restaurant, you can only eat one dish. Today ri We are feasting on our food, there are four famous dishes on one table, and only Lu Dong's has such exquisite dishes."

Lu Lengyue hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Kou is serious. You are all distinguished guests, how can you neglect?"

Yuan Chongshang just smiled, noncommittal, but Chu Huan didn't speak either. Seeing a steamed fish in the middle of the table, he thought of Xuanyuan Sheng before he mentioned that Anyi's most famous dish is sea bass. As a guest, this famous dish in Anyi is naturally indispensable.

As the host, Lu Lengyue naturally toasted to the guests frequently. He had a lot of alcohol, and after drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, his face remained unchanged. When he saw Yuan Chongshang wink at him, Lu Lengyue understood it. He had already stood up, raised his hands, and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet for a while, and listen to what Lu has to say!"

Although he was over fifty years old, his voice was loud and the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Lu Lengyue cupped his hands and circled around half a circle before he said: "Today I invite you here, first of all, to let everyone get together. Back then, the Huang clan was here Anyi did evil, Cao controlled the business, we have suffered a lot of grievances, and now we can feel proud, for this reason, everyone should get together and have a good drink."

Most of the businessmen among them were coerced by Huang's family. Hearing this, they immediately cheered.

Lu Lengyue said solemnly: "Everyone, as the saying goes, don't forget the well digger when you drink water, we can have today, and who is it because of?"

Immediately someone shouted: "Of course it is the governor!"

As soon as this person spoke, everyone shouted: "Your Excellency is our reborn parents, and it is naturally thanks to your Excellency that we can turn around!"

Yuan Chongshang couldn't help showing a smile on his face, stood up and said: "Everyone, this governor is really ashamed. All of this is the wiseness of the Holy One, and it is the Holy One who saw through Huang Ju's conspiracy and eradicated the traitorous party. This governor is in Anyi. Just do what you can.”

Lu Lengyue solemnly said: "Your Excellency is too modest. We all know that Huang Tianyi led a rebel party to attack the Governor's Mansion at night. Your Excellency was wise and brave, broke through the encirclement, called in the imperial guards, and controlled Fang...!" , bowed his hands to the first official under Li Wangsun, and continued: "We quelled the chaos with Fang Tongzhi overnight. If the governor and Fang Tongzhi hadn't handled it well, our Taiyuan City would have fallen into a catastrophe."

Chu Huan glanced at Commander Fang calmly. He knew that Commander Fang was on the same level as Wei Tianqing, commander of the Imperial Guards in Yunshan Mansion. He must be Yuan Chongshang's most trusted subordinate. This Commander Fang looked ugly , a person who is absolutely inconspicuous among the crowd, with a calm expression. When Lu Lengyue mentioned him, he was also expressionless.

Li Wangsun had already patted Commander Fang's shoulder with a smile. Commander Fang was expressionless at first, but with this light pat from Wangsun Li, Commander Fang's body shook like an electric shock, and a pained look appeared on his face. , Li Wangsun was a little strange, and frowned, but Lu Lengyue was talking at this time, and he couldn't interrupt him. Commander Fang turned his head and glanced at Li Wangsun, his expression had returned to normal, he raised his hand, and waved it lightly , indicating that it doesn't matter.

Yuan Chongshang didn't notice this scene, but just looked at Lu Lengyue, but Chu Huan saw it in his eyes, and a strange color flashed deep in his pupils.

When Lu Lengyue said something, everyone naturally echoed loudly.

"Today we are having a good time here, but everyone, don't forget that in Yusuo Lake, there are tens of thousands of warriors who are shedding their blood for the safety and peace of Anyi." Lu Lengyue said with emotion: "Everyone, we are Don't we have to do something for them too, Anyi's peace is the business of all of us, don't we want to do our best?"

Everyone looked at each other, most of the people present were as nervous as monkeys, and Lu Lengyue said this, but everyone still didn't understand the truth.

After a period of silence, I finally saw a person stand up and said loudly: "I would like to donate 2000 taels of silver as military funds!"

Everyone looked over immediately, but Yuan Chongshang had already smiled and said: "Okay, it really is the country of Gongzhongti!"

That person was praised by Yuan Chongshang, and he was immediately elated. Many people around him immediately regretted it secretly, thinking that bleeding must be necessary today, but he was robbed of the first prize by this person. If you take care of yourself, there are several people clamoring to donate. Lu Lengyue raised her hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Since you all have this intention, then the matter is settled." She said to Yuan Chongshang, "My lord governor, everyone If you want to dedicate your heart to the imperial court, my lord might as well ask the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to go back and take a good count, and the amount donated by each household will be recorded in the book at that time, so that there will be no mess."

Yuan Chongshang nodded with a smile, "Dong Lu's idea is good, so let's do it like this."

Lu Lengyue smiled and said: "My lord, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses are not moved, the food and grass go first, and silver is naturally indispensable as military resources, but the top priority is to feed the soldiers and soldiers. Lu is not talented. I am willing to raise food and grass for you, the more food and grass the better, Lu will do his best to raise food and grass everywhere for your needs!"

Yuan Chongshang was very satisfied with Lu Lengyue's actions, stroked the thick beard on his chin and said, "Dong Lu's family, let's do it this way. From now on, I will entrust you with the full power to raise food and grass. You are an expert in this field. I also hope that Dong Lu's family will not disappoint the governor."
