"Chen Xian?" Zhu Lingwu's eyes widened and he covered his lips in surprise, "He's back?" ”

She lowered her head, hiding the embarrassment in her gaze, the two of them were so close that she didn't recognize him at all. "Was he detained by the Liao? No wonder ......" Zhu Lingwu recalled bitterly, chewing on what Director Li had just said. A few years ago, the children of the broken nobles and the businessmen's 'daughter' had a bland and failed blind date, the two met, the two had no good impression of each other, but there were some indescribable impressions, after which Chen Xian repeatedly visited the 'door' with a cheeky face, although Zhu Lingwu did not pretend to be 'sex', but also had some 'friendship' with him. However, when his heart gradually opened, Chen Xian suddenly disappeared, and he didn't even say hello. After a short period of loss, Zhu Lingwu was very embarrassed, and he didn't inquire about the news of this gentleman anymore. Who would have expected to see him again on this occasion.

When Li Ruoxue heard Chen Xian's name, a strange 'color' flowed out of her eyes, and she also glanced at Zhu Lingwu.

Obviously, she still remembers the past of these two people clearly. Zhu Lingwu's shy face surprised her.

"It seems to be that Chen Xian of Dunhuang," glanced at her meaningfully, Li Ruoxue smiled: "How do you call yourself a Ganzhou person?" "She was originally a melancholy and solemn look, but at the moment her eyes were full of concern, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, her smile was a touch of urgency, and a line of teeth was 'exposed' between her lips. The years have not reduced her beauty a little, but have added a 'mesmerizing' charm to her. Mrs. Zhao's emotions are very contagious, whether it is Mr. Bachelor's Mansion or the boudoir sisters, if anyone stays with her for a while, the mood will become similar to her. When she is in a good mood, others will feel light and happy. When she is in a 'gloomy' mood, others will feel bored and uneasy. And anyone, even if they have said a word or two to her, when Li Ruoxue 'shows' this charming smile and sees her snow-white teeth, they will be flattered, and even a little fluttering. "Mrs. Zhao treats me differently." Regardless of whether it is male or female, this idea comes to everyone's mind.

Zhu Lingwu is the same, Li Ruoxue teased her, but she was not so embarrassed.

"Originally, it was a Dunhuang clan, but it seems that because of something, the ancestor moved to Ganzhou." She tilted her head sideways to reminisce, but her eyes were still on Chen Xian. Chen Xian was of medium stature in Dunhuang, and when he arrived in Luoyang, he was half a head taller than the literati, and his figure was very 'straight'. Compared with Dunhuang, he seemed much more stable, and the sudden appearance and introduction of Director Li and others made Chen Xian panic for a moment, and Zhu Lingwu's familiar expression for a moment. For a moment, then he ducked behind a mask, showing a calmness he had never seen before. He was polite and polite, dealt with Li Dao and others decently, and talked endlessly with a little ridicule of the Khitan barbarians, which just caters to the scholars in Luoyang, and seems polite, well-informed, funny, and assertive.

Yang Chuanlu and others, Li Zheng and the leaders of Songyang Academy, all attached great importance to this Kansai scholar.

"Tsk, this guy is not simple, the little Korean man supported him on the scene, what is the origin of the end?"

"Kansai is heavy on martial arts and light on literature, but there are occasionally one or two people, but they are outstanding."

"This is called not more soldiers but 'fine', and the generals are not brave but strategic."

The whispered discussion of the crowd reached the place where the two 'women' stopped, and Li Ruoxue said with a smile: "Sure enough, if you don't go for three days, you should be impressed." She lowered her voice and said to Zhu Lingwu: "The old people are reunited, what, don't you want to go up to see each other?" Zhu Lingwu was embarrassed, his face was crimson, and he rarely slandered: "Sure enough, the elderly ladies like to be matchmakers for others, even Bachelor Li." Just thinking about it, she felt a little unhappy in her heart. Li Ruoxue didn't know what this little sister was thinking, and seeing that she was shy, she said in a low voice: "Chen Xian is also hateful, don't say goodbye, be himself, Fang You have waited a few years to take the blame." "Where?" When Zhu Lingwu heard this, his heart was ashamed, "How can I wait for him." "Almost jumping to his feet to deny.

"Okay, don't talk about it, don't talk about it." Li Ruoxue smiled and shook her head, and let it go gently, Zhu Lingwu was speechless.

Although only Mrs. Zhao knew about the past of the two, she was still very embarrassed and blamed the embarrassment on this person.

The Liao State has been in trouble for several years, and it is all God's punishment. Zhu Lingwu frowned at his forehead and stared at Chen Xian fiercely.

She keenly noticed that his hair was slightly 'messy', which showed that this person was usually unkempt, and he hurriedly dressed up when he went out. Standing in the middle of a group of Luoyang scholars, he looked tall and big, but in the Guanxi sergeant in the country, he was much more burly than Chen Xian, and he was imprisoned for several years, but he was slightly 'fat' fat. Chen Xian's group of people was actually very close to Zhu Lingwu and the others, and they could be seen as soon as they looked up.

"Will he see me? Arch your hand, or say the past few years, or explain the reason for not saying goodbye? ”

Zhu Lingwu couldn't pull her son to find Chen Xian, she had some hope in her heart, Chen Xian would take the initiative to come over to talk, and she was a little afraid that he would come, it was too embarrassing. Chen Xian stood in the middle of the crowd, and his special experience made him unexpectedly a limelight figure in Yazhong. His expression was kind and friendly, but Zhu Lingwu felt very unfamiliar, as if he had been wearing a mask and acting, only the corners of his eyes occasionally showed a hint of sarcasm, which made him connect with Chen Xian in the past. The more he dealt with it properly and calmly, the more dissatisfied Zhu Lingwu became, this guy didn't even look at himself.

Chen Xian is polite on the surface, but he is actually very impatient in his heart. Do these Kanto people suffer from amnesia?

The Khitans dominated Liaodong for two hundred years, and even when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, it could not be said that they had completely subdued them. Since Yelu Dashi ascended the throne, the governance was well organized, first wooed the tribes to seize the throne, and after sitting on the throne, he immediately turned his face, and used the mechanism of the Eight Ministries Conference to press the tribes to make concessions again and again, conquer the south and the north, and pull out the warriors of all tribes to serve the country, and finally firmly control the entire Liao State in his hands, whether it is the Khitan tribe, the Xi tribe or the Zahu tribe, when it comes to Yelu Dashi, all of them are respectful as gods. Shamans from all over the country burned ashes with the portrait of Yelu Dashi to cure people's diseases, and even had a miraculous effect, which shows its prestige in the Liao State. The Kwantung people felt that the Northern Expedition had a great chance of winning, largely because the national strength and population were several times that of Liao, however, the national strength of Song and Liao had been so different since the Taizu Dynasty, how could the Song State have the upper hand again? In terms of armor, war horses, and warriors, the Liao people were not weak. Even in terms of the most proud wealth accumulation of the Song people, the gap between the Liao State and the Song State is not so big.

The Liao manor was extremely flexible, and the workshop and land were equipped with suitable labor through the sale and purchase of slaves. The Khitans were entirely interested in maximizing their production, and if a piece of land could be cultivated with fifty slaves, they would never use sixty slaves. In the last southern invasion, the Liao people captured a large number of Song people as slaves, and the basic skills of the workshops and farms were almost the same as those in the south. The slaves were hungry and cold, and the less they consumed, the more blood and sweat the Liao people scraped off the slaves.

These blood and sweat all became the wealth of the Liao State. The Khitan people have one person in each household who 'smokes' ding, usually grazes most of the time, and a few times gathers together to train with a team of 1,000 people, and the registered soldiers and military households are rewarded with salt, wine, tea, cloth, and grain from the Liao Dynasty. These rewards are all the grace of Yelu Dashi to the soldiers, and if there is any shortcoming, the military households can complain to the North Courtyard, or even directly to Yelu Dashi. According to what Chen Xian saw in the north, nourished by the blood and sweat of a large number of slaves, the life of the Khitan people was more solid than that of the people in the south, and the treasury of the Liao State was also very sufficient. The only trouble for the Liao people was that the reproduction of slaves was far inferior to that of the people of the Southern Dynasties. So, they also needed to fight wars to capture more slaves. Slaves, rather than wealth, have become the greatest purpose of the Liao people's wars.

Of course, Chen Xian would not tell the scholars in Kanto about these cognitions, it was completely self-deprecating.

When we meet, why bother to have deep 'friendship'. Chen Xian thought so, dealing with Director Li and these Kanto people, Director Li didn't seem to notice it at all, but was quite committed. After the discussion was over, he patted Chen Xian's shoulder and smiled affectionately: "What a Fa Sect, I haven't seen you for a few years, and my talent has grown a lot." Come with me to see General Zhao's wife, don't be ashamed of yourself. He had already seen Li Ruoxue under the shade of the willows next to him. This is the wife of General Zhao of Baoyi Hou, one of the top figures in Luoyang, she has seen us, it is rude not to go up to meet, and you must not be rude when you meet. Director Li was quite attentive to Chen Xian, and while whispering advice, he took Chen Xian forward with a smile on his face. Director Li and several other aristocratic children waited in place with envy.

"He came over." Zhu Lingwu's heart was pounding.

She looked at Chen Xian, wanting to see a familiar look in his eyes, but when he looked up, she immediately looked away and didn't 'meet' his gaze. A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Xian's eyes, but Zhu Lingwu's expression fell in his eyes, and a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he immediately followed Director Li forward calmly. After seeing the courtesy, the prince of Han and Mrs. Baoyi introduced with a smile: "This Chen Xian, Chen Fazong, has just returned from the Liao Kingdom. Fa Zong, I was able to see Master Li today, how fortunate he was. The latter sentence is said to Chen Xian. Chen Xian stepped forward helplessly and arched his hand: "Mrs. Zhao, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the corner of Zhu Lingwu's skirt, an embroidered shoe was slightly 'exposed', Chen Xian's heart was 'swinging', and he secretly scolded himself for being shameless, but he couldn't help but imagine the slender feet wrapped in crow's head socks.

Director Li looked at Chen Xian in surprise, and Li Ruoxue explained softly: "I am fortunate to have several connections with Chen Gongzi in the West. ”

She nudged Zhu Lingwu beside her and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Miss Zhu and Chen Gongzi are also old acquaintances. Zhu Lingwu's face was pale, and he was polite: "Chen Gongzi, don't come to harm?" The word "girl" fell in Chen Xian's ears, and his eardrums slammed like a drumstick, and he suddenly felt that his 'chest' was a little damp and hot. He fell into the eyes of others like this, but it seemed that he was respectful to Li Ruoxue, but he was absent-minded to Zhu Lingwu. Director Li pulled him and told him not to be so arrogant. Although Zhu Lingwu is only the 'daughter' of the businessman, she is a famous 'female' doctor of both, and the prince's 'daughter' is looking for her to see a doctor, and she has a reputation for being vitriolic and mean, offending this person, it can be said that there are endless troubles.

"It's okay," Chen Xian said busily, "Miss Zhu, don't come to harm?" ”

"Unharmed." Zhu Lingwu snorted and replied angrily.
