Chapter 18 The general trend of the world
At this moment, a voice came from the corridor over there.

"Brother Lu, why are you hiding here?"

Lu Fengqiu looked up, but saw a Confucian scholar walking over.

Lu Fengqiu arched his hands and said: "So it's Brother Li. Brother Li didn't eat at the banquet, so why did he come to this garden?"

That Confucian scholar was none other than Li Zicheng's think tank, Li Yan. It was from this person that "Eat King Chuang, drink King Chuang, and don't pay when King Chuang comes." Great credit.

Li Yan looked at the little sika deer beside Lu Fengqiu, and said with a smile, "Brother Lu seems a little different from the one in the rumors."

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "The rumors are naturally exaggerated."

Li Yan shook his head and said: "Brother Lu's ability is naturally not exaggerated, but Brother Lu is compassionate and compassionate, so it doesn't look like a "killing hand"."

Lu Fengqiu said: "This nickname is too vulgar, brother Li should call me by my first name."

Li Yan smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "Brother Lu seems to be a little dissatisfied with King Chuang?"

Lu Fengqiu glanced at Li Yan, and thought to himself, he is indeed the number one think tank under Li Zicheng's hands, and his vision is indeed extraordinary.

"It's not a matter of dissatisfaction, but I just feel that King Chuang's behavior will not be able to sit still if he really wins the world in the future."

Li Yan frowned, and said: "But because King Chuang boiled that King Fu and shared it with everyone?"

Lu Fengqiu glanced at Li Yan, but did not speak.

Li Yan sighed slightly, and said: "Brother Lu doesn't know something. King Chuang was born in poverty, and he often endured hunger and starvation for half his life in battle. Sometimes he had to eat the flesh of dead people in order to survive. This is also a helpless act."

Lu Fengqiu knew that this was also the truth. In the year of catastrophe, the world was in chaos. I don't know how many people have to change their sons to eat. If they follow their thinking, it doesn't matter what kind of meat they eat if they can live.

But knowing the truth is not necessarily the same as acknowledging it. He absolutely cannot accept such inhumane things.

Lu Fengqiu only said indifferently: "If all people are like this, how is it different from animals?"

Hearing this, Li Yan fell into deep thought.

Lu Fengqiu said: "Ms. Lu said something that shouldn't be said. Brother Li has great talent, but not all reckless heroes are Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Brother Li, take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, Lu Fengqiu picked up the little sika deer, and said to Li Yan, "Brother Li, I won't go to see King Chuang, and you can accuse King Chuang of a crime on behalf of Lu, and say that Lu has a weak nature and doesn't like to march. In war, God has the virtue of being good at life, so this sika deer was taken away by Lu."

Li Yan watched Lu Fengqiu disappear into the garden in a flash, and before he could speak, there was no sign of Lu Fengqiu.

Lu Fengqiu's words kept echoing in Li Yan's mind.

"Not all reckless heroes are Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang."

After a long time, Li Yan sighed and said, "I'm not as good as Brother Lu."

……

A few days later, at the foot of Mount Hua.

Looking at the familiar Mount Hua, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Finally came back.

The outside world is disturbing, fighting and killing.

Still Huashan is like a paradise.

He touched the body of the little sika deer in his arms, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hua, what do you think of this Mount Hua?"

The little sika deer blinked its nimble eyes, and stuck out its tongue to lick Lu Fengqiu's hand.

Lu Fengqiu smiled, this little sika deer is quite spiritual, and having this little guy as his companion along the way, it took away a lot of his hostility, the more he killed, the more hostility he had, and he killed countless treacherous people along the way generation.

If there are too many people killed, there is no benefit in cultivating in the state of mind.

……

Back in the familiar wooden house, Lu Fengqiu saw Taoist Mu Sang playing chess with his master Mu Renqing.

The dumb man was pushing the stone mill and grinding the millet. When he saw Lu Fengqiu, he couldn't help laughing.

Xiaohui is already a big girl, and she was helping the dumb man sprinkle the millet. Seeing Lu Fengqiu, she couldn't help saying happily, "Brother Fengqiu, why are you back?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "I miss Xiaohui's cooking, so I'll come back naturally."

When Xiaohui heard this, she smiled and said, "Brother Fengqiu can talk to make people happy."

The little sika deer in Lu Fengqiu's arms caught Xiaohui's attention.

"What a cute little deer, brother Fengqiu, where did you bring this back?"

Lu Fengqiu handed the little flower to Xiaohui and said: "This is Xiaohua, I will give it to Xiaohui to raise you from now on."

Xiaohui is kind-hearted. When she sees the little sika deer, she likes it very much and keeps nodding her head.

Lu Fengqiu walked towards Taoist Mu Sang and Mu Renqing who were playing chess.

The older the Taoist Mu Sang, the less energetic he is, only when he is playing chess, he is more energetic.

Mu Renqing is much stronger than Taoist Mu Sang.

"The apprentice has met the master and the Taoist priest."

Lu Fengqiu practiced etiquette.

When Mu Renqing saw Lu Fengqiu, he couldn't help saying in surprise, "Fengqiu? Why did you go back to the mountain?"

Lu Fengqiu said: "I have gained a lot from going down the mountain this time, so I want to go back to the mountain to retreat and practice."

Mu Renqing knew that there must be something wrong with Lu Fengqiu when he heard the words, but he never liked to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, so he just nodded slightly and said: "It's good to come back, save this old Taoist priest who won't let me go every day."

Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly when he heard the words, but he was quite envious of the friendship between Taoist Mu Sang and Mu Renqing.

……

"So, this time Fengqiu went down the mountain for a few months, but he did a lot of things."

In the wooden house, Mu Renqing couldn't help touching his beard when he heard what Lu Fengqiu said.

He never thought that his little apprentice would make such a big commotion in the rivers and lakes as soon as he came out of the mountain, which surprised him a little.

"Has Feng Qiu ever been to Chuang Wang's army?"

Mu Renqing asked.

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said: "When my disciple returned to the mountain, he passed through Luoyang. He once went to see King Chuang, and also met the senior brother and the second senior brother. They asked the disciple to say hello to the master."

Mu Renqing stroked his beard and said, "Then why are you?"

Lu Fengqiu understood what Mu Renqing meant, he just said: "When I was in Luoyang, King Chuang entertained me with great hospitality and held a "Fu Lu Banquet"."

Mu Renqing said with a smile: "King Chuang is always hospitable, this blessing feast must be quite rich."

Lu Fengqiu just said indifferently: "Master, does master know the reason for this blessing banquet?"

Mu Renqing said: "Oh? Is there any reason?"

Lu Fengqiu stroked the little flower by his side, and said, "Fu is the meat soup of King Fu, and Lu is the parents of this little flower. Can the wise masters of all ages entertain guests with human flesh?"

When Mu Renqing heard the words, he couldn't help but remained silent for a long time. After a long while, Mu Renqing said: "Today, I just realized that what Feng Qiu is worried about is not unreasonable."

"However, Fengqiu, you secretly helped Chongzhen's foolish emperor. I am afraid that you will inevitably have a rift with Chengzhi in the future."

Lu Fengqiu told Mu Renqing all about what he did down the mountain this time, and of course he concealed the matter of Yuquan Temple.

Mu Renqing's worry, he naturally thought of it long ago.

Lu Fengqiu only said: "Master, don't worry, I will naturally have an explanation from Chengzhi, and it will definitely not hurt our friendship."

Mu Renqing nodded, and said: "Now it seems that the Mingjun that Fengqiu said is the Chongzhen?"

Lu Fengqiu shook his head and said: "If you talk about the world today, you can be called a wise lord, and there is no more than Huang Taiji, the lord of the Qing Dynasty."

Mu Renqing frowned and said, "Then what does Fengqiu think about the general trend of the world in the future?"

But Lu Fengqiu said: "In today's world, the world is in chaos, and the people are struggling to survive. My disciple asserts that within three years, Li Chuang's army should be able to break into Beijing, and the Manchus will also enter the pass after that."

Mu Renqing asked suspiciously: "Then why did Feng Qiu secretly help the Chongzhen Emperor?"

"Choosing to help Chongzhen is also a helpless move. If there is a better choice, Tuer will not do so."

"Emperor Chongzhen is inferior to Huang Taiji in terms of comprehensive ability, but he is much better than the reckless Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Although Emperor Chongzhen is not a wise master, it is true that he is diligent in government and loves the people, but he is too suspicious. According to my disciples, after the chaos in the future, he should be able to hold the last line of defense for the Han people."

"I won't let the iron horses of the Manchu Tartars trample on our Han people at will."

"As for who will be able to rule the world in the future, that's beyond my expectations."

"How can I and other Jianghu people outside Fangwai control the general situation of the world with my own strength? My apprentice has done everything that should be done, but in the eyes of my apprentice, it is nothing more than sewing and mending."

"After today, disciples should go into seclusion and pursue the Dao with all their strength, and stop meddling in the affairs of the world."

Mu Renqing nodded slowly when he heard the words, and said: "Although being a teacher is over seventy years old, he is not as clear as Feng Qiu. You can see that he is too persistent to be a teacher."
