Lu's relatives

Chapter 398 Counting Birds with One Stone
Speaking of any age and any identity, everyone actually has a raging fire of gossip in their hearts, but they express it in different ways.It is as big as guessing and detecting the thoughts of political opponents in the officialdom, and wins allies; in the shopping malls, it is inferred to know the opponent's bottom line, and make allies; ', and nothing to dare to think about.

The power of public opinion is formidable.Explained in the official language of the Han Dynasty, it means that the accusations of thousands of people ended without a problem.Therefore, as one of the current seven wealthy merchants of the Han Dynasty, the old man Zhen Jian, the head of the Zhen family in Hebei, naturally does not want to gain the reputation of bullying his own daughter, especially in front of these unofficial soldiers.

Lu Bu's army is one of the rare, even the only strong army in which the soldiers do not work on production and only focus on training and fighting every day.The result of this is that although the combat power can be called unparalleled, it is conceivable that the daily training is harsh and boring.Therefore, in addition to strict military discipline, Lu Bu's generosity in treating these soldiers' occasional complaints and kind ridicules when there is no battle is also obvious.Over time, although these soldiers respected Lu Buenwei and were willing to die for him, Boss Lu, who had a lot of disputes about his private life in his spare time, came step by step, and now he is the real No. [-] figure in the army. Someone from Qin, who had a bad opinion of private affairs, dared to arrange it.

For these, the army from Lu Bu down tends to turn a blind eye and close one eye, at most it is just mediating about the severity.He even made good use of it to enhance morale. For example, Qin Xuzhi was like a soldier in Qingzhou, which was the "result" achieved by Lv Bu taking advantage of the situation.It can also be regarded as a simplified version of the late Han Dynasty that later generations used public opinion to lead the trend.

But right now, whether it is the flying cavalry under the command of the veteran Cheng Lian or the pioneering warriors who are about to evolve into Qin Xu's guards, they have collectively shut up.He didn't even dare to show his searching eyes too much.Those who are familiar with Lu Bujun immediately know that this is the "treatment" exclusively enjoyed by the young lady Lu Lingqi.

Lu Bu's childlessness has always been a bruised topic.Seeing that Miss Lu is already a man (wife), and there is no good news coming out of Boss Lu, who is only in her [-]s, it once made the morale of the army low.The armies these days are all private armies, which is common sense among the Han people. Even the so-called regular armies of the Han people are no exception. The life and death of soldiers is often the actual controller of the army.Therefore, especially in the current period when the world is in chaos and the princes are in charge of their own affairs, the succession of the leader of an army is often to the soldiers under his command, no less than the emperor's selection of a prince, and it is also a great matter.

Therefore, Lu Lingqi, who was Lu Bu's only blood relative, became the hope of the armies.Anyway, the grandson is also of his own blood, isn't it?But before, because of Lu Bu's pampering, Miss Lu also developed that fiery temper, and got the true biography of Marquis Wen. Like a duck to water.Women of the Han Dynasty also pay attention to gentleness, courtesy and frugality. The saying that no talent is virtue is because of Dong Zhongshu's deeds during Emperor Wu's time, and there is a considerable market. Women with both talent and appearance like Cai Yan are already an outlier, and most of them have not been recognized. People regard him as a freak because Cai Yong's reputation is too great. If the daughter of a famous Confucian in the country has no talents, it is a very rare thing.But Lu Lingqi is different, even the soldiers of the Lu Bu army who regard Lu Lingqi as their own little princess are not very optimistic about carrying Fang Tian's painting halberd all day long before the monstrous Qin someone "shows up", and he is also stronger than Lu Bu in terms of strength. Inheritance, a girl who is several times higher than ordinary people, who is so divine can subdue her.Not to mention topics such as grandson's blood relationship. Therefore, among the extremely contradictory but unanimously suppressed Lu Bu army, anything involving Miss Lu became a taboo, or a habit over time.

"Zhong Ming, what's the matter?" Although Lu Lingqi is a little girl and has no military position, she is Lu Bu's daughter after all. Someone from Qin is even easier to use.

"No...it's nothing!" Qin Xu only felt guilty when he spoke.I hoped that Zhen Jiang would jump away after seeing Lu Lingqi coming, and even leave her "embrace" at worst, but unexpectedly, she didn't know what medicine the girl had taken wrongly, and instead arched her body fiercely, holding her hands together. Hugging Qin Xu's waist tightly, even his head was almost squeezed into Qin Xu's arms.

Ami made a Buddha!Although the beauty is in his arms, Qin Xu has no intention of enjoying it at all.First of all, this person has his heart set on Boss Lu. If something really happens, maybe someone from Qin will follow Lu Lingqi and call her aunt, and besides, in the silence of the surrounding soldiers who are obviously holding back their laughter, , as the commander-in-chief of an army, this face is lost. Besides, Lu Lingqi, the only daughter of Boss Lu and the only daughter of Boss Lu, who was brought in by the old Qin family in a palanquin, was looking at her, as if she was studying the two of them. Is the posture comfortable? Where can Qin Xu put his old face?

"You... you... um!" It was Zhen Jian who said this.Maybe I didn't expect that what was supposed to be a good thing would eventually evolve to this point.The moment Lu Lingqi appeared, Zhen Jian only felt that any aristocratic family, any prestige, and any of the seven wealthy merchants were useless at this moment.My main wife, especially the daughter of the target "caught", what is the name, what is the plan?Is it possible to say to Lu Lingqi that this is to express intimacy with the "junior" who is not a few years younger than her in advance?Liar!The poor old Zhen's family only had such a reputation at the moment, and Zhen Jiang's crazy move was completely defeated.Right now, what old Zhentou wants to do the most is to imitate Zhen Jiang and hug someone casually and bury his head.But in the end, the left and right are full of big men in the army, and no one seems to be easy to provoke. Because he was afraid that they would know at the beginning, his family soldiers told Zhen Kun to keep them away from last night. I didn't bring it with me.Zhen Jian, who had nothing to rely on, simply "fainted" before Lu Lingqi asked a question.

"There is still half an hour to go, what are you doing here?" Or maybe it's because the minister is caring.Qu Yi, who was entrusted by Lü Bu to be fully responsible for Qin Xu's safety, first came to his senses.It's just a dry old man in his 60s, and a weak woman in disheveled clothes. With a presence like Miss Lu's by his side, General Qin should...maybe...probably not in danger, right?

"Oh..." I don't know if Qu Yi's order had an effect, or because of other reasons, when Qu Yi's voice called out, the dozens of soldiers who surrounded him suddenly dispersed.Only Qin Xu was left holding Zhen Jiang and Lu Lingqi who couldn't be pushed away, looking at each other with wry smiles, and of course there was Zhen Jian who sat upside down on the felt wall of the military tent and pretended to be dizzy, feeling ashamed and shameless.

"I think this may be a misunderstanding!" A moment later, in the military tent, Lu Lingqi sat beside Zhen Jiang, who looked like she was about to cry, her eyes were fixed, and one side of her face was still swollen. She raised her head, trying to be calm, but Zhen Jian, who glanced at Zhen Jiang from time to time, showed a subtle smile on his lips, and broke the embarrassing situation with his words.

"Misunderstanding! You actually said it was a misunderstanding! You..." Zhen Jian was like a firecracker that had been lit. After hearing Qin Xu's words, it exploded, and there was no half of him as a "high-level top person" "Enlightenment", he jumped up suddenly, with furious beard and cold eyes, and said angrily: "It's all you villain! You are a treacherous and cunning person with sinister intentions! Deliberately destroying the reputation of my Zhen family and trapping the old man in the world!" Unkind place! You bastard..."

"Cough cough!" Facing the old man of the Zhen family who was going all out, almost pointing at his own nose and yelling at him, Qin Xu rarely showed any anger at all, but curled his lips at Zhen Jian with a helpless look, and looked aside The indifferent Zhen Jiang took a look, coughed lightly, and didn't answer, but the meaning was quite clear.

"You... um!" Although Qin Xu didn't speak, Zhen Jian understood what he wanted to express.In fact, when Qin Xu "dare" to "bring this matter to light" in front of Lu Lingqi, Zhen Jian already knew that he probably really blamed his precious daughter by mistake.But with the current situation, not to mention the slap that Zhen Jiang just slapped in a hurry, will she get her daughter's "forgiveness"; , let the dignified head of the Zhen family, such a person of status, even pretend to be dizzy to avoid the mocking gaze, Zhen Jian can't swallow this breath just thinking about it!To vent his anger on this Qin who is obviously not a good person, to be honest, Zhen Jian didn't have any psychological pressure at all.Xuzhou Inspector, General Conquering the East, as early as in Linzi, he had preconceived that Qin Xu was just a courtier. In Qingzhou, he might be able to rely on Lu Bu's power and prestige for a while, but when he arrived in Jizhou, hehe, it was used to "transfer hatred." "of!

However, Qin Xu's gesture just now made Zhen Jian, who was full of thoughts on Qin Xu to regain the face he lost in front of Lu Bu in Linzi, had a different plan in his heart, thinking that he would scold Qin Xu so painlessly. , I feel happy, but for Qin Xu, a villain, there is no loss.Besides, Qin Xu's status is too special. Zhen Jian is still the head of the family after all. Even now, he is so angry that he can't wait to swallow Qin Xu who "disturbed the trouble" alive, and he doesn't want to take almost two people into it just because of a moment of anger. The "cooperation" with Lu Bujun was messed up by "exchanging" a daughter.In contrast, that is really a big loss, a big loss.On the one hand, there are family interests, on the other hand, Qin Xu, who is smiling strangely, makes Zhen Jian feel very uncomfortable, and Lu Lingqi, who is half-embracing Zhen Jiang and whispering something, and Zhen Jian, who is about to get violent, breathes a sigh of relief. Sulking, he stared at Qin Xu fiercely, not knowing what he was thinking.There were beatings, scoldings, scheming, embarrassment, but in the end there was still nothing left to do, and he even caused such a stiff quarrel with his own daughter.Zhen Jian suddenly got old!Thinking about it, if it wasn’t for his own stabbing, maybe this group of people is now returning to Jizhou in a peaceful coexistence, although they seem to be at odds, and then they should cooperate and cooperate before the plan is completed, and they should calculate each other after each takes what they need. Although they still don't like each other, but with Zhen Mi's relationship, at least it can be regarded as seeking common ground while reserving differences, right?
"Patriarch Zhen, it's really a misunderstanding!" Noticing Zhen Jian's thoughtful eyes, and then at Zhen Jiang who didn't know what he was thinking, Qin Xu felt that the trouble was almost over, and he should I've said everything, and those who should be deterred have already been deterred. If this goes on, even the girl who doesn't care about Lu Lingqi should be tired of it.To put it bluntly, left and right are just a matter of competing for the right to speak. The Zhen family has the pride of the Zhen family, but Lu Bujun also has the persistence of Lu Bujun, and they are now slightly superior. After all, they still have to cooperate. In this state , at least it should be able to calm down a lot before Jizhou succeeds.Qin Xu gave Lu Lingqi who was comforting Zhen Jiang a reassuring look, and said sincerely.

"Misunderstanding! Yes! Misunderstanding... Qin... What Qin Shijun said is very true..." After hearing what Qin Xu said, Zhen Jian raised his head suddenly as if reflexively, and his tone was full of shock and anger. With resentment, he looked at Qin Xu almost directly. If his eyes could kill, Qin would definitely be turned into a powder.But in less than a breath, the anger on Zhen Jian's old face gradually faded, leaving only dull wrinkles.After all, as the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Jian can have resentment and anger, but if it is put on the level of the entire family, any personal emotions must give way to it. This is Zhen Jian's responsibility and mission as the head of the family.In other words, even if Zhen Jian really wanted to kill the Qin family thief who was playing with the entire Zhen family in his hands, for the sake of the entire Zhen family, after Qin Xu expressed "goodwill" through Zhen Jiang , also had to give back.In fact, thinking about Qin Xu, why not?If someone from Qin and the Zhen family had no grievances in the past and no hatred in the present, and Qin Xu has always been a person who is extremely afraid of trouble, if it wasn't for the Zhen family who bumped into each other with ill intentions and provoked the old mother-in-law at home, who would want to Let's fight with these people now!

"Emissary Qin is really scheming!" Almost at the same time when Zhen Jian was succumbing to the words of the Zhen family, Zhen Jiang, who had been lowering his head and listening to Lu Lingqi's comforting voice, suddenly interjected.On the delicate cheeks that can be described as a lotus like a face and a willow like an eyebrow, the five swollen finger prints are pale, and people always have the urge to suck their teeth. At this moment, they are looking at it with a sneer At the very least, Qin Xu, Zhen and Jian, who had already revealed the past tacitly on the surface.Ignoring Zhen Jian's apologetic and guilty eyes, with a sarcastic smile that a fool can see on his face, combined with the extremely asymmetrical cheeks on the left and right, it seems that only the word "weird" comes to mind, and said: "What a good one." It’s such a misunderstanding! The little girl should congratulate the two of you for finally reaching a consensus!”

"Jiang'er, don't be rude..." After hearing Zhen Jiang's words, it was easy to get angry.Subconsciously, she wanted to reprimand her, but when she got to her mouth, Zhen Jiang's extremely cold and unfamiliar gaze blocked her, and her daughter blocked her throat when she wanted to say the next thing.

"Miss Zhen...that...forgive me!" Qin Xu said shyly.Speaking of this matter, the most wronged person is probably the second lady of the Zhen family, Zhen Jiang.First of all, they belong to the family of leftover women these days. It is very easy to find a pleasing person, but Qin Xu messes it up. Strictly speaking, the person has become a "grandpa" generation; People's unintentional "offensive" take-aways are used by the way to irritate the helpless Zhen Jian to open up the situation; but now the situation has opened up, but it is because of old Zhentou's suspicion and Qin Xu's seemingly inadvertent "inaction". ", not to mention that the relationship between Zhen Jiang and Zhen Jian, the father and daughter, has dropped to a freezing point, and they even helped Zhen Jiang "earn" a slap.Qin Xu, who always thought he was a good person, also felt sorry for these sisters in his heart. Now that Zhen Jiangyu wanted to get back on the stage with sarcasm, Qin Xu, a good person, had no choice but to scratch his head, trying to change the subject, and said tentatively : "But don't worry, Ms. Zhen, Qin will still do her best for what she said!"

"You... Qin Shijun is really a believer!" Qin Xu's words reached Zhen Jiang's ears, and he could hear a little frivolous meaning. Zhen Jiang is worthy of being Zhen Jian's daughter. Eighty percent of the ability is also a family tradition, and the brows on the face of Ben's sneer are about to explode.But while Qin Xu was waiting to see how this girl looked when she was furious, Zhen Jiang, after glancing at his father's expression out of the corner of his eye, braked as if Zhen Jian had just spoken. 180-degree turn.Qin Xu was stunned, and he couldn't help but wonder whether the father and daughter slept late last night and didn't have time to take their medicine this morning!Why are they all such virtues?Speaking of which, Qin Xu and the Zhen family's father and daughter have dealt with each other several times in the past ten months, and they know that things must be demons, so they are thinking about what other plans the father and daughter will have. , before Qin Xu could reply, he heard Zhen Jiangruo pointingly say: "However, what you said that night, Qin Shijun should not take it seriously. Nunu was repeatedly protected by Miss Lu's family. Zhien, going to Jizhou is dangerous, and it is more important to be honest with each other. How can you have the audacity to disturb the peace of Ms. Lu's home? Qin Shijun should not worry about it! Besides... besides, Nunu can't do it now. You can't help yourself, let's do it!"

"Huh?" Zhen Jiang had a smile on his face, and his words were extremely soft, but these words made Qin Xu whisper in his heart, and even had some bad premonitions.However, seeing that Zhen Jiang was full of good things to say, and he was no longer aggressive like before, Qin Xu didn't want to offend this second young lady who was said to have a lot of status in Zhen's family even though she was a daughter.Besides, what Zhen Jiang said was involuntary, Qin Xu saw Zhen Jian's sudden change of expression and hesitation in not saying a word, and thought it was because of a falling out with Zhen Jian, what kind of punishment would he receive? It's not easy for Qin Xu to bother about family affairs, as long as this girl doesn't cause trouble anymore, Qin Xu doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as a girl, so he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "That's the best!"
