After nightfall, Deng Ai came to Lu Ren's residence. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master, are you looking for me?"

Lu Ren nodded, motioned for Deng Ai to sit down, and asked, "How did you have a good time in Guangzhou City with those buns from Nanzhong in the past two days?" ”

Deng Ai pouted and smiled: "What else?" It's just a dazzle for those people's eyes. If you want me to say, fortunately, this is only Guangzhou that has not been built for a long time, so if you lead this group of people to Yizhou to have a look...... Ay? Master, what did you say that? That's what a dog's eye. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "It's 'brightening their kryptonite dog eyes'...... It's been a long, long time since I've said anything like this, and you kid remember. ”

Deng Ai said: "That's what it means." However, master, if possible, the disciple really wants to take them to Yizhou to have a look, so that they can see the extraordinary spirit of our Yizhou, so that they can strengthen their alliance with the master. ”

Lu Ren said: "I also want to, but our affairs in the Nanzhong region have just begun, and Meng Shu and them have just gained a bit of momentum because of the destruction of the Abu clan, and there are too many things that they have to go back to preside over as patriarchs, so we can't keep them here for too long, otherwise things will be difficult if something happens." ”

Deng Ai nodded yes, but found that Lu Ren's mood was a little low, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Master, is something wrong?" You seem to be a little ......."

Lu Ren was silent for a moment, shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I remembered some things from the past." As a teacher, I called you at this time, in fact, there is something I want to ask you very seriously, and you must also tell the truth. ”

Deng Ai's face was straight: "Master, it's okay to ask." ”

Lu Ren was silent for a moment again, and then asked, "You kid, do you really like Shui Ling?" Remember, be honest with me, because at the earliest time you told me that you wanted to use this as an excuse, and I gave you all the tricks. But now that our affairs have been completed, we have to give an explanation to someone else's little girl. ”

This time it was Deng Ai's turn to be silent. After a long time, Deng Ai responded in a low voice: "Master, since you asked...... Seriously, although the disciple is good for the meaning of the water spirit, but、But ...... The disciple really likes her. ”

Lu Ren looked at Deng Ai for a while, and then nodded lightly and said, "Okay, very good!" This is my Lu Ren's apprentice! In this case, treat other people's little girls well in the future. It's a real man, so women shouldn't be made to cry sadly. ”

At this time, Deng Ai always felt that Lu Ren was a little inexplicable: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Ren stretched out his hand and patted Deng Ai's shoulder, sighed lightly, and then smiled: "Don't worry, your master and I are fine, I just remembered some past events and was a little sentimental." But El, as your master, I should teach you one more thing, that is, to learn to cherish the companion who will walk with you in the days to come, and not to the end...... Why did the shadow become smoke? ”

“……”

Deng Ai was a little speechless, while Lu Ren shook his head a few times, and his usual playful appearance returned to his body: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about some serious things." ”

“…… Master, please speak. ”

It was still the same map, Lu Ren pointed to the Nanzhong region and said, "After a while, I want you kid to roll me to Nanzhong to preside over various matters, are you kid willing?" ”

Deng Ai was stunned, but immediately nodded vigorously and said, "The disciple is willing!" ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "I know that your kid is willing, and now only you kid is the most suitable." We have done a lot of things in Nanzhong before, and you are in Nanzhong, at least in the hearts of Meng Huo's gang, so it is relatively easy for you to stabilize your foothold in Nanzhong. In addition, speaking of which, we have to get involved with the water spirit again, if you marry the water spirit, there are more or less the meaning of intermarriage with the women of the southern middle school, which can be regarded as a kind of marriage, with such a relationship in it, it will be more convenient for you to deal with those southern and central tribes. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren drew a line on the north side of Jianning, and said very seriously: "Remember, don't cross this line, why can't you cross this line, I think you kid should know it in your heart, but I still have to remind you, we don't have the strength to cause those things." And although Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent, there are some capable people under his hands, and the soldiers and horses in Shu are not joking. As for how to stabilize our footing in the Nanzhong area......"

Deng Ai picked up: "What does the master mean?" ”

Lu Ren said: "There are many ethnic groups in the central part of the south, the situation has always been very complicated, and there are many mountains and plateaus, as long as there is nothing that may endanger them in Shuzhong, they are not willing to provoke Nanzhong." So let's still use the old way, don't cause trouble, trade more, and keep a situation where everyone has money and nothing to do with Shuzhong as much as possible. In addition, after you stabilize in Nanzhong, you will give me a development in this place. ”

Lu Ren's finger tapped on another place, which is Chidah in the south of Myanmar in the Bay of Bengal, which is only a few hundred kilometers away from Calcutta: "This large section of the road is not so easy to organize, but if it is done, it will be very useful." I'm not in a hurry for this moment, you can take it slowly after you go to Nanzhong. In addition, in addition to you moving from the inland to the coast, I will also send a fleet from the coast to the inland from time to time, so that the time can be shortened a lot. ”

Deng Ai said: "Why did the master make such an arrangement? ”

Lu Ren smiled: "When it's almost the same, you have to find something for Meng Shu and them to do, but you can't let them eat enough to mess with Liu Zhang in Shu, right?" If we really get involved with Liu Zhang's gang, it won't do us any good, right? ”

Lu Ren didn't say a word, that is, Liu Zhang maybe, may be easier to deal with, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in the future will by no means be fuel-efficient lamps. If you really get into trouble, don't get into trouble without eating meat......

――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, Lu Ren invited Meng Shu and them to drink and discuss, and after a lot of flickering, the Nanban patriarchs finally understood, and after making trouble for a long time, Lu Ren meant that they wanted them to help Lu Ren be propagandists in Nanzhong after living a good life, and say good things about Lu Ren...... Of course, this is their understanding, although it is not wrong, but Lu Ren's own intention is to let all the tribes in Nanzhong know that he Lu Ren just wants to do business with the Nanzhong clan, and everyone can get along with each other in harmony.

But then again, Lu Ren has done so much now, and it is reasonable for Meng Shu and them to report these things to Lu Ren. From the perspective of the word "profit", if Lu Ren can intervene in Jianning, it will indeed be very beneficial to Meng Shu and them, at least it will be much more convenient to find Lu Ren to borrow grain when there is a food shortage.

Looking at the people who were thinking, Lu Ren smiled and said to Meng Shu and Zhu Rong: "Patriarch Meng Huo, Mrs. Zhu Rong, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Meng Huo and his wife glanced at each other, got up and followed Lu Ren to the corner. Lu Ren said in a low voice: "I admit that the matter of Jianning is a little selfish, but it is good for everyone, isn't it?" The two of you might as well take this as a dowry for the water spirit. ”

Meng Huo and his wife were stunned for a moment, but Zhu Rong reacted first, and said happily: "Lu Yizhou doesn't object to the marriage of Brother Deng and my sister?" ”

Lu Ren pretended to sigh helplessly: "There is a saying in our Han family, which is called a teacher for one day and a father for life, which means that I can also be regarded as Shizai's father, and I must take care of some things." But children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I can't manage too much, right? Besides, I've seen Shui Ling, this little girl is still very good, and Shizai's bastard has a good eye, so think about it, this matter should be natural.

"But I also told Shui Ling that in the future, she married Shi Zai is my Han housewife, and she can't understand the rules of our Han family, so I asked her to go to Yizhou to study and study, and only after graduation can she talk about marriage, Shi Zai and Shui Ling also agreed. Anyway, Shui Ling is only fifteen years old this year, and he is only eighteen after three years of studying, so it is only right to learn more skills while he is young. ”

Of course, Shui Ling told Meng Huo and his wife about this matter, so didn't Meng Huo and his wife agree? And then Lu Ren logically proposed to let Meng Huo and his wife and the patriarchs select some teenagers to study at Yizhou Academy, the reason is that these teenagers should be the companions of Shui Ling, but in fact, Lu Ren's "sinister intentions" ...... Forget it, needless to say, Meng Huo and his wife and the patriarchs were busy agreeing, after all, this is also a good thing for them, because they also want to learn the advanced aspects of the Han family very much. And when it comes back to the issue of the South Central region:

“…… In fact, you don't have to do anything out of your mind, you just need to cultivate and raise your clansmen with peace of mind, and you don't need to put in any effort at all. Ai'er I will send it to Nanzhong again, one is to facilitate communication with you, and the other is what the Yong clan dares to do when you win over the Nanzhong clan, Ai'er can help you with a move, and at the same time, you can also contact me. ”

Meng Shu didn't have any brains, and his eyes naturally drifted to Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong thought for a moment and then nodded, "Lu Yizhou, don't worry!" ”

Lu Ren still smiled and threw out the last heavy pound bait: "I don't know if you two have thought about another thing, that is, with my help and your own hard work, after your clan is rich, there will be more and more southern and central clans who will defect to you, and the voice of the Meng Won Patriarch will also become bigger and bigger." At that time, there are dozens of tribal alliances in Nanzhong, and the patriarch Meng Huo, as the leader all along, may become the big leader of the Nanzhong clan, that is, ...... King of the Southern Barbarians. ”

"...... the Southern Barbarian King!?"

Sparks erupted in the eyes of Meng Shu and Zhu Rong, while Lu Ren secretly laughed on the side...... (To be continued.) )
