Lu's relatives

Chapter 653: Dark Gap, Which of the Three States Belongs ([-])

The change in Zhen Jian's attitude, especially the strange look in his eyes, really made Qin Xu feel a little wary.Businessmen value profits, and Qin Xu intuitively felt that the Zhen family father and son probably wanted to make trouble!The topographic map of Hebei, which took so much effort to present, is only asking for a few words of promise from Lu Bu after complaining a lot?Even a fool can't believe this!But the Zhen family did not make any more excessive demands, which made Qin Xu feel more and more strange about it.

In fact, Qin Xu and the Zhen family can be regarded as close relatives.I don't want to say whether that girl Zhen Mi is sincere, after all, she worshiped Qin Xu as her adoptive father!In this way, the old man Zhen Jian, who is over sixty years old, and Qin Xu, who has just lost his crown, can still be called brothers and sisters here.But no matter how Qin Xu looked at it, he couldn't connect this old man with a gray beard with the word brother.Zhen Jian, an old fox, can't be guessed into several meanings by one look. Qin Xu really doesn't want to be tempted by this kind of old but not dead guy who is a thief.

"General Lu, I actually have something to ask!" The Zhen family presented Hebei's topographical map at the critical moment of Hebei's battle for the front, which is enough to help them in a timely manner, and it is quite "open and honest" to show their strength, so as not to make Lu Busheng jealous. , The attitude has already done enough work.Lu Bu was originally a very sentimental person, and if people respect me a foot, I will return another's temper. Now that I have gained so many benefits, it is not easy to put on a straight face with the Zhen family and his son. Wen Yan said a few words of comfort.But Lu Bu just changed his face, and saw Zhen Jian kneeling tremblingly on the ground with Zhen Kun's support, and said.

"The old Patriarch is old, so there is no need to be so polite. If the Hebei affairs can be settled this time, the topographic map of Hebei presented by the Zhen family will be the first credit. If there is something Lu Bu can help, it's okay!" His hands are short, although he is amazed at the fact that the Zhen family's father and son's kung fu of kicking their noses and their faces and crawling along the pole is a bit proficient, but Lu Bu's posture is already done, but it is not easy to change his face again for the Zhen family's father and son who have just made great achievements. Neng was taken aback for a moment, then said to Zhen Jian with a light smile.

"Actually, it's not something that embarrasses General Lu!" Zhen Jian is an old man, so he couldn't understand the meaning of being on guard in Lu Bu's words. With Zhen Kun's support, he stood up and glanced at Qin Xu, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. With a glance, he said, "It's just that there are some family matters that require General Qin... Well, I hope General Lu will agree to help with this!"

"Want Zhongming to help?" Lu Bu had already prepared for the Zhen family's father and son, or Shi Shi opened his mouth to seek the interests of the Zhen family in Lu Bu's army, or hoped to use Lu Bu's mouth to keep the influence in Hebei, but how could it be? She never thought that what the Zhen family wanted would be so simple.

"No!" Qin Xu is not an upright person like Lu Bu, and he has no defense against a family of merchants like the Zhen family.The so-called no business, no evil, no profit, no early, as a former member of Qin, he naturally would not believe that after paying so much, the Zhen family is still hypocritical as a moral gentleman who does not ask for anything in return.It can't be said that the easier it is to talk at this time, the more difficult things for Qin Xu to do.It's just that even Qin Xu couldn't quite understand why the Zhen family didn't want to be irritable and the most impatient of troubles, but Lu Bu, who had a soft ear, had something to do with him again.Even if he still wanted to compete with the Mi family for land in front of Lu Bu as before, Lu Bu should give some face by taking advantage of the great contribution of presenting the topographic map of Hebei!Ask Qin Xu?In the final analysis, although Qin Xu was planning behind the sudden rise of the Mi family, in the final analysis, Qin Xu is just the sister-in-law of the Mi family, not the head of the family, and it is not very good to intervene too much in the handling of some matters.However, after all, Qin Xu is a man of two generations, and he has been in the top ranks of Lu Bujun for several years. He has fought with Cao Cao, fought with Zhou Yu, and has been friends with Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other top resourceful people of this era. The Zhen family's father and son covered up in every possible way, and paid so much sincerity to be the Yan family, but Qin Xu still felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Zhongming, since the old head of the Zhen family intends to ask you to help, you have some sympathy with the Zhen family anyway. If it's convenient, you can help me!" After all, it's still the father-in-law, although Lu Bu doesn't understand Zhen. What the hell is going on at home that doesn't need the help of the number one warrior in the world, but he just fell in love with Qin Xu, but he also sensed that something was wrong.However, the quick talk had already agreed to this matter in front of Zhen Jian, and it was too late when he realized Qin Xu's vigilant appearance, so he could only speak to leave room for Qin Xu to maneuver as much as possible.

"The Zhen family has a sincere heart, and I hope General Qin will make it happen!" Zhen Jian is an old fox-like character. Even in terms of force, Lu Bu can kill hundreds of such old guys without any effort, but in terms of scheming However, Zhen Jian was completely victorious.There was regret in Lu Bu's words, but Zhen Jianyan couldn't hear it. He stroked his beard with a smile, as if he wanted to dispel Qin Xu's vigilance, but in another way, he seemed to remind Lu Bu that this was just now. Even if you don't agree with the big gift that the Zhen family gave to Lu Bujun, you won't turn your back on him in a blink of an eye!
Lu Bu was just too lazy to use his brain, and he was not a fool, so it was impossible for Zhen Jian to understand the meaning of what he said.But just as Zhen Jian metaphorically said, just now he accepted the kindness of the Zhen family with a smile, and it was indeed a little unreasonable to do so.Besides, what needs to be said is actually finished. For Qin Xu, Lu Bu can only wait and see the changes. Fortunately, this son-in-law has never disappointed himself since his "debut".

"Ha!... I never thought that Mr. Qin, who was a late student, could be so wrongly loved by Mr. Zhen. I am really flattered!" The smiles of the Zhen family father and son, in Qin Xu's eyes, seem to have ulterior motives, but after all, Zhen Jian Given his age, there is still some truth to the old saying that people are old, treacherous and old-fashioned. For a while, even if Qin Xu knew that the Zhen family must have other plans, but for a while, he really couldn't figure it out. It was as if Zhen Jian was determined to agree to Qin Xu and Lu Bu's request, even if they wanted to succeed in such a major event as Hebei.Now everyone knows about Hebei, if Lu Bujun can really get the full support of the Zhen family, he will be at least [-]% more likely to succeed in the conspiracy of the three states of Hebei. I can only make up my mind to take one step at a time, first look for an opportunity to see what the Zhen family wants to do before making any plans.Besides, although Zhen Jian saw through the intention of Lu Bu's words before, but after all, he had already spoken, and it could more or less leave a way out if the "assistance" that the Zhen family asked for was too difficult.

"In this way, the Zhen family would like to thank General Lu for his kindness!" Seeing Qin Xu agreeing, the seemingly complicated smile in the eyes of Zhen Jian and his son looked at each other, but it was a little bit stronger, as if he was afraid. Qin's character is not good, and he regrets it. Even if the two previous generals are included in the account, Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian, who were summoned by Lu Bu, will hand over the topographic map of Hebei in detail. The father and son are on the left and right, Put Qin Xu in the middle, hugged and pushed Qin Xu out of the tent.

"I said two Mr. Zhen, can you tell Qin what happened now?" Zhen Jian and his son were almost pushed by one arm and one arm, and they were wandering around in the small Pingyuan City. After a long time, I finally arrived in front of a large house located in the south corner of the city.Qin Xu has been to Pingyuan City several times, and even the blueprints for the new construction of Pingyuan City were all made by Qin Xu with the help of talented students from Jixia Academy. It is one of the few residential areas, and judging from the luxury of this mansion, it is likely to be the stronghold of the Zhen family in Pingyuan City.Qin Xu is not worried about his own safety. Firstly, although the Zhen family has the ability to control the wind and rain in the three prefectures of Hebei, they are only merchants after all. One of the Nine Ministers of the Great Han Dynasty, and an important minister who named the Marquis as the lord of a state, he really admired the courage of the Zhen family.Although the two Qin Xu's "guards" went to the camp first and were left to rest, but Lu Bu traveled with the trapped camp, and with the extremely kind and sinister Sima Mao present, Qin Xu fully believed that maybe it was the three of them. Not far behind, there are soldiers from the camp who have been trained by Sima Mao. Unless this old and young really treat the big Zhen family as nothing, otherwise, as long as they dare to touch Qin Xu Hairy hair, maybe in Pingyuan City, all those related to the Zhen family will not be able to see the sun tomorrow, Qin Xu can rest assured.

"General Qin, this is where the trouble of the Zhen family lies! I still hope that General Qin... must help him with all his strength!" I don't know if it is Qin Xu's illusion, but I always feel that the old fox Zhen Jian is looking at him at this moment. His expression was a little...somewhat indescribably complicated, like a love-hate relationship.

"This... Qin did his best!" Love and hate?Don't make trouble, this kind of look in the eyes of an old man who is over sixty years old is already a terrifying thing.Looking at Zhen Kun at the side, he couldn't hide his smile. The eccentricity of the father and son made Qin Xu somewhat resistant to the newly built mansion that was so close in front of him.But the words were out of his mouth, and he agreed in front of Lu Bu again. Qin Xu felt that something was wrong, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and find out. Fortunately, he was in Pingyuan City at this moment, and his life was not in danger. Qin Xu With a dry cough, he cupped his hands at the father and son and walked inward.

The scene inside confirmed Qin Xu's previous guess. This is indeed a newly built mansion. Under the respectful guidance of a man dressed as a servant, he walked around the wooden nine-curved corridor, and felt that the floor was covered with cobblestones. It was still wet, which made this hot and dry weather a little bit cooler.

It took a long time for a stick of incense to come outside a gazebo.Before Qin Xu could open his mouth to ask a question, the servant saluted Qin Xu before retreating.Qin Xu couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, he really couldn't guess which song the Zhen family father and son sang.It can only be settled when it comes, and wait and see how it changes.

To be able to occupy such a large piece of land in such a short period of time on the plain where the wars have ravaged the most is to build a luxurious courtyard that is rarely seen in Xuchang, the new capital today. The sound is melodious, and the subconscious will make people calm. This kind of luxurious place, except for the Zhen family, a wealthy businessman in Hebei, there is really no other family that has such a peaceful mind.Since the Zhen family's father and son did not explain what their intentions were, Qin Xu felt somewhat at peace with the situation, and walked towards the gazebo following the faintly discernible sound of the piano.

But before Qin Xu entered the pavilion and commented on the suspected backyard scenery of the mansion, he suddenly saw someone else in the pavilion.The gazebo was located higher, and the man was kneeling and sitting on the brocade mat on the ground, so that Qin Xu didn't notice it just now.But when Qin Xu saw clearly the faces of the people in the pavilion, and was about to open his mouth in surprise, he suddenly heard the faint sound of footsteps from the road where he had just come, and his heart froze immediately, and a wry smile could not help appearing on Qin Xu On the face: "TNND, I've been tricked!"
