Chapter 078
Lu Min smiled and did not ask the prefect Gong Shafu what he was busy with. He was a white man, and it was expected that Gong Shafu would not be willing to surrender his identity to see him. Sending a military officer to come over was considered as a face. He followed Xian Yuyin to the inn, making a noise all the way. Xian Yuyin respected Lu Zhi very much, saying that Lu Zhi was not only a famous scholar in Zhuo County, but also the pride of the entire Youzhou people, and was very polite to Lu Min in his words.
After entering the inn and arranging the room, Xian Yuyin said he wanted to arrange a night's welcome banquet and then left first. When he walked to the door, he looked at Liu Xiu who was standing beside him and raised the corner of his mouth: "I heard from Brother Ziyu, your martial arts are very good?"
Liu Xiu was stunned and quickly said modestly: "That is a misunderstood by Yan Jun, and I dare not take it."
"Hahaha..." Xian Yuyin chuckled softly and waved his hand and said, "Don't be humble. Yan Ziyu is not a praising man easily. He said that you are the one that Dunwu of the ghost hand is interested in, and I think it will definitely not be bad." He paused for a moment and said, "Yan Ziyu has met countless masters and has never suffered any losses, but he fell into trouble in your hands and was convinced. No matter what, you deserve to be proud of yourself."
Liu Xiu was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Xian Yuyin looked up and down at Liu Xiu, as if he couldn't understand: "More importantly, even Zhang Zhi of Taiping Road praised you for your good qualifications, which is even more incomprehensible."
Liu Xiu's heart moved, "Zhang... is in Juyang?"
Xian Yuyin smiled knowingly: "Zhang Zhi and Lord Gongsha are fellow Taoists. Every time they pass by Juyang, they have to stay for a few days. But this time they stayed for a long time, as if they were waiting for someone. Could it be you?"
Liu Xiu shook his head quickly and waved his hand embarrassedly: "I have met Zhang Zhi, but I have no friendship. How could he wait for me? Adults must have misunderstood, misunderstood."
Xian Yuyin didn't say anything, nodded and went out. Liu Bei was a little curious and came up to ask, "Brother, who is Zhang Zhi he was talking about?"
"It was the one who whistled on the hill that day. It seemed to be a person from Taiping Road, who was specifically responsible for preaching in Youzhou." Liu Xiu winked at Liu Bei: "If you want to find out the specific situation, you should ask Miss Mao. She seems to have had contact with people from Taiping Road."
Liu Bei curled his lips and shook his head repeatedly, as if he was not willing to deal with Mao.
"When did you meet that Zhang Zhi?"
"It was when I was in Juyongguan. I got up early to exercise and happened to meet him, so I chatted with him for a few words." Liu Xiu said lightly, but his heart was a little heavy. His experience on the stone roof that day made him still shocked and suspicious. He couldn't figure out how the middle-aged man made a sound that made him heartbroken. He didn't believe in any spells, but he really couldn't find any good explanation.
Now that I heard that Zhang Zhi was still in Ju Yang, I even mentioned him specifically. He was a little worried that this cult would cause a bloody thing like taking disciples. From Lu Min’s reaction in the past few days, it can be seen that the Lu family and son had no good impression of Taiping Dao.
Shanggu County is the county seat. Although it is lively, there is nothing to say about the surrounding terrain. The prefect Gong Shafu is lukewarm and hot, so it is not interesting to stay. Lu Min stopped for a day and planned to continue his journey to Ningcheng where the Wuhuan Captain is located. There is a Hu city and a large number of Hu people appearing. You should be able to learn more information. After he revealed this to Xian Yuyin, Xian Yuyin was a little surprised and did not dare to make a decision. He said that he would go back and ask the prefect for advice.
It was not long, and Xian Yuyin came back. He said to Lu Min, "Prince Gongsha, please give me a day off. He is now unable to get rid of some things. He is planning to invite you to the prefect's mansion tomorrow to talk about border affairs and knowledge. After hearing this, Lu Min couldn't insist on leaving immediately, so he had to respond.
Early the next morning, Gongsun Sha sent the Chief Shi Qi Zhou to greet him with a carriage. Lu Min and others got on the carriage and came all the way to the prefect's mansion. As soon as he arrived in front of the mansion, Liu Xiu saw a green-veiled carriage. He couldn't help but think of Zhang Envoy of the Taiping Road, and felt a little worried, not knowing what would happen later.
Mao also frowned and looked at Lu Min worriedly. Lu Min also saw the carriage, but just smiled faintly and followed Qi Zhou into the mansion without hesitation. After entering the main courtyard, the prefect Gong Shafu walked down from the hall with a smile, and bowed from a distance.
Lu Min hurriedly stepped forward to salute, saying that Caomin had seen the Lord of the Mansion. Gong Shafu smiled and greeted him. He held his arm in the hall and smiled, "There were stars passing by Youzhou's realm a month ago. Fu still had doubts. Unexpectedly, when Lu Jun's son came today, Fu suddenly realized that it was all about you."
"Min's humble body, how dare you be the sign of the stars?" Lu Min shook her head repeatedly and said politely and seriously: "Please don't say this again, otherwise Min will be ashamed and can only ask for it."
When Gong Shafu heard this, he stroked his beard and looked at Liu Xiu and others under the hall, without any jokes: "It's not Lu Jun, is it someone under the hall?" He had a serious expression, as if it was a true thing that he said was that there was a star passing through the Youzhou realm.
Liu Xiu almost laughed out loud, thinking that this prefect is just a charlatan, no wonder he colluded with Taipingdao. He wanted to make a joke, but when he looked at Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others next to him, he saw that they all looked solemn and seemed to believe Gong Shafu's words, so he had to swallow the words that rushed to his mouth so that people would not be regarded as aliens. In fact, people in the Han Dynasty not only believed these, but also believed them very much. Compared to later generations, they could only see Land Temples, Guanyin Temples, etc., various ancestral halls could be seen everywhere in the Han Dynasty, and the ghosts and gods were also diverse and countless. Including Lu Min himself, he actually didn't believe them at all. He just didn't believe them at all, and felt that a large part of them were not worthy of trust.
If Liu Xiu said now that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, I am afraid that no one will support him. Even Lu Min would say that he is talking nonsense. For safety reasons, it is better not to talk too much. Otherwise, at the least, you can say that you are talking nonsense, and at the worst, you can ask you to drink talisman water to get rid of evil.
Gong Shafu pulled Lu Min to the hall, divided the host and took a seat, made a few words, and asked about the situation along the way. Lu Min took the opportunity to talk about Xie Guanglong's affairs. Gong Shafu nodded with a smile, but didn't say much, and instead talked about knowledge. Although Lu Zhi is a master of "The Book of Ancient Literature", he does not only meditate on one scripture, and he has a special understanding of "The Book of Zhou" and "The Book of Literature". He also wrote a "The Interpretation of the Three Literatures". The so-called "The Book of Rites" refers to the three classics of "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Rites" and "The Book of Rites". Gong Shafu's family traditions "Gongyang Chunqiu" and "Han Shi", but he is not unfamiliar with "The Book of Rites". It's just that there are some problems that are not as proficient as Lu Zhi. Now when meeting Lu Min, of course he will not miss the opportunity to ask for advice.
Liu Xiu basically couldn't understand the knowledge they said, and Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others were also confused. Perhaps only Liu and a few people with family education understood a little. Standing below to listen, it was a bit boring, but it was difficult to show an impatient expression. This felt really uncomfortable. Liu Xiu had to relax and slowly focus his attention on his breathing, calm himself down, and the voices he had discussed with each other in the classroom seemed to be listening but not listening, but remained awake.
When he calmed down, he suddenly felt a little strange. The green curtain carriage parked at the door suddenly came to his mind. He raised his head and looked at the back of Gongshafu in the hall. Behind Gongshafu was a wall with a painting of unknown story on it, but Liu Xiu clearly felt that there were people behind the wall, and it was very likely that the two people from Taipingdao were the ones.
Liu Xiu suddenly had a premonition: Today's things may be a bit weird, probably not as simple as discussing knowledge. The one who treats the guests may not be Gong Shafu, but Zhang Zhi, and the one who really wants to invite is not Lu Min, but Liu Xiu.
