Night had quietly fallen, and Lu Ren and Zhou Yu sat on the deck quite casually, drinking wine while enjoying the scenery at the beginning of the night.

Ceylon is modern Sri Lanka, because of its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, its tourism industry is very developed in modern times. Although the time point where Lu Ren is now is in the early third century, it is impossible to have the convenient things of modern times, but it also makes Ceylon here full of pristine ecology, and some scenery is more beautiful.

Whether it is in the modern society in which he was originally located, or the historical time and space he is in now, Lu Rendu is still the first time to come to Ceylon, so when he is busy with some serious things, he can settle down and take a snack to see the scenery, and he can't help but secretly admire the scenery of Ceylon. As for Zhou Yu, although he has been in Ceylon for a long time, he still can't stop admiring the scenery when he is free.

These two old men were both down to business before, so they were in a relatively relaxed state at this time, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, their conversation with each other was not so serious. It just so happened that there was a group of girls in the neighborhood who went to the shallows to play in the water after finishing today's work, so that the two old men could comment on the girls' figures, swimsuits, etc...... By the way, under the influence of Lu Ren for many years, the women in Yizhou are not so feudal, so it is not a problem to wear a swimsuit and then play in the water or anything.

After a lot of comments on these girls playing in the water, Zhou Yu suddenly hesitated slightly, and then said with a bit of caution: "Lu Nanhai, I remember that the old man has been famous for Miss Wan'er for a long time, and he also had the idea that if he had the opportunity, he must visit Lu Nanhai and Miss Wan'er, but it's a pity...... Hehe, let's not talk about this. But now that he suddenly heard about Miss Wan'er, the old man was really curious. ”

Lu Ren turned his head to look at Zhou Yu: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "It is rumored that Miss Wan'er was born very beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament, and her piano and flute skills are even rarer, so that the Son of Heaven often invited Miss Wan'er into the palace to teach dance and music, so people said that Miss Wan'er was the first beauty in Xu Du at that time...... Lu Nanhai, isn't that so? ”

Speaking of these past events, Lu Ren couldn't help but shake his head and smile and sighed: "It is rumored that this thing is often exaggerated a lot. In fact, Wan'er back then was not as beautiful as rumored, and her temperament was some, but it was not to the point of being so-called extraordinary. As for the so-called art of the qin and flute, the flute was taught by me, and the piano was taught by Wen Ji, although Wan'er learned very well, but if you want to say that you are proficient, it may be that I and Wen Ji are seventy or eighty percent of the fire. Therefore, Wan'er's original fame was completely praised by others. ”

After saying this, Lu Ren let out a few more wry smiles and sighs. How so? Lu Ren was only in his twenties, and he had not debuted for a few years, and he was still too tender in all aspects, so he didn't understand many things very well. But today's Lu Ren has been working for many years, and some things are gradually understood.

Why did she and Wan'er become famous? Yes, at that time, Lu Ren was engaged in tuntian and playing internal affairs, and he earned a lot of fame, but to be honest, the main audience of that kind of reputation was the lower-class homeless people, in other words, it was a standard grassroots idol, but at the level of the scholar clan, with the ideology of the scholar class in the Han Dynasty, no one would really take Lu Ren as the same thing.

This is a bit like in modern society, some celebrities are a high-ranking idol in the eyes of ordinary people, but these celebrities and celebrities only regard them as high-end toys in the eyes of some upper-class people.

But Lu Ren and Wan'er had a very good reputation at the level of the scholar clan at that time, it can be said that except for some guys who were too pretentious, the other scholars basically regarded Lu Ren as the same children of the scholar clan as them and not the grassroots, which can be seen from the fact that Lu Ren and Wan'er played music on some occasions, and many children of the scholar clan would come to cheer. If Lu Ren and Wan'er were the grassroots of the lower class in their eyes, they would not come to cheer and make friends, because the friendship with the grassroots or something would make the identity of the children of the scholar clan cheap.

At that time, Lu Ren was still a two-hundred-and-five, and he didn't know what was going on here, and he wouldn't pay too much attention to it. But now let Lu Ren think about this, Lu Ren will understand that he was deliberately picked up at that time. And if nothing else, the person who managed to pick himself up, or the leader, must be Lao Cao.

As for why Lao Cao tried to hold himself up...... In modern terms, that is, Lao Cao at that time needed to recruit a large number of talents, and if he wanted to recruit a large number of talents, in addition to giving fame and profit, he also needed idol stars or something to come to the spokesperson to increase the attraction of talents. It's just that Lao Cao in the early years of Jian'an has any "brand spokesperson"?

It's not that there really aren't such people, for example, Xun Yu can, but Xun Yu is Lao Cao's big housekeeper, how can he have the time and energy to do those messy things? Therefore, Lao Cao has to praise such a person, at least to increase the attraction of talents at the cultural level, and there happens to be a "hipster" like himself who can play music, so Lao Cao picked himself. And then to put it back again, if it wasn't for Lao Cao's intentional or unintentional, overt or covertly praise, he could have made such a big name just by farming and playing music? Dream on.

Besides, Wan'er, in fact, Wan'er became famous because she followed Lu Ren and got lost. But from the spiritual level of the people, Lao Cao also needs a harmonious and romantic atmosphere in the territory, so those things between Lu Ren and Wan'er are very suitable for hype, and Wan'er was "fried" in this way, and even got back the title of "the first beauty in Xudu...... But if you really look at her appearance, Wan'er is definitely not as beautiful as that. In Lu Ren's own words, Wan'er's appearance is only at the level of 70 points, mainly because Wan'er's personality and temperament are gentle and soft, giving people a very suitable and kind feeling.

Let's take a few women around Lu Ren as a standard to make such an analogy. Cai Yan is like tea, although it is fragrant and pleasant, it is very bitter but very bitter, so some people are not used to drinking tea; Mink Chan is like wine, mellow and intoxicating, but people who are not used to drinking also grab a handful; Zhen Mi is like coffee, a smell of aroma will make people feel refreshed, but if you don't add sugar, it is enough to choke; And then there's Mi Zhen, this businessman-born lady is like a carbonated drink, but if you really drink too much stuff like Coke......

In contrast, Wan'er is like a glass of boiled water at the right temperature, which does not have any special features in itself, but it is acceptable to anyone, and will make anyone feel very comfortable. And then again, maybe it's because of Wan'er's Wenbaikai-like characteristics that Lao Cao can rest assured to hold and fry, right?

After Lu Ren said some such words to Zhou Yu...... Of course, it has been arranged accordingly, otherwise Zhou Yu would not have heard some questions here? And Zhou Yu was also very surprised after listening to it, and said leisurely after a long time: "I really didn't expect that the world-famous Wan'er girl is actually quite ordinary." But Lu Nanhai, such an ordinary woman, why did you ...... in the first place?"

Lu Ren shook his head and smiled a little bitterly: "In life, the most difficult thing to say clearly is probably the word 'love', so if you let me say it myself, I can't say it clearly." Maybe it's because Wan'er is like a glass of plain water, a person may be able to drink without touching a drop of wine or leaves in his life, but do you dare to say that who will not drink a sip of water in his life...... Alas, I don't even know what I'm talking about.

"Seriously, so many years have passed, and some things have actually faded a lot in my heart, and even sometimes I ask myself why I was so crazy about Wan'er back then, and if it were me now, would I lose my mind because of Wan'er's death. But no matter what, Wan'er's death was the biggest regret and pain in my life, if I had the opportunity, it would be for Wan'er, for myself, in short, I must do something. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren looked at Zhou Yu: "As a high-ranking person, but he is fighting for a woman, Gongjin, do you think it is so mediocre?" ”

Zhou Yu thought about it but shook his head and said, "This makes the old man really don't know how to comment." If you insist on the old man to say it, the old man can only say that Lu Nanhai, you are a temperamental person after all, but you are also one of the people that the old man admires the most. ”

Lu Ren smiled indifferently and raised his glass to Zhou Yu.

After taking another sip of wine, Zhou Yu glanced at the many ships on the dock, and suddenly asked: "Lu Nanhai, the old man has long seen that there is no ambition to compete for the world in your chest, and this is one of the reasons why the old man has been persuading Wu Hou to have a deep friendship with you." As long as you don't mess with you, you will be a trusted friend. But today, after the old man has seen too many things, the old man really wants to say to you, you can completely destroy the Kushan, rest in peace, and establish your immortal reputation in this Central Asian land. ”

Lu Ren was dumbfounded: "What are you doing?" Gong Jin, do you want me to be ruthless or something? ”

I don't know if Zhou Yu has drunk a little too much at this moment, and there is a little strange brilliance in his eyes: "How can this be a reckless force?" Lu Nanhai, you have always said that you are not good at military affairs and do not know about military aircraft, but the old man looks at your use of troops, although there is indeed nothing surprising, but it is a plan and then action, and the victory is stable and there is no defect. On the other hand, rest and frost...... Oh, the rest hasn't really been handed over yet, but Guishan is already a game of division under your strategy. In the old man's opinion, if you really have the heart to do it, it should not be difficult for Guishan to become the soil in your palm. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu turned his head and looked around, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he whispered to Lu Ren: "Lu Nanhai, you have always been loyal to the Son of Heaven, but the old man can more or less see a little different meaning. In fact, Dahan can really be ZTE again today? Lu Nanhai, are you really so loyal to the Son of Heaven? ”

“……”

Lu Ren was really a little difficult to answer. Who is the other party? The "American wolf", whose intelligence ranked among the top ten of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, is strange if he can hide some things from him. In the face of such a guy, if you still say anything like loyalty to the Son of Heaven, it would be too hypocritical, right? In fact, let alone Zhou Yu, Xun Yu knew that Lu Ren was not so loyal to the Son of Heaven, but Lu Ren needed to maintain a good relationship with Emperor Liu Xie in terms of interests, so Xun Yu was also using this layer of relationship to maintain his ideals. Just like Xun Yu said to Lu Ren at that time, at least don't see some things you don't want to see before someone Xun dies, this is enough, worthy of Xun Yu's heart. As for what will happen to Lu Ren after Xun Yu's death, Xun Yu won't care about it, and he can't care about it.

These are not much nonsense, but Lu Ren really hesitated for a long time when facing Zhou Yu's words at this moment, and finally nodded to Zhou Yu and said: "Since Gongjin said it, then I won't say anything beautiful anymore." That's right, in fact, in my heart Lu Ren, I have never regarded the Son of Heaven and the emperor or anything as the same thing. But since we are mixed in this industry, then we must always give the face that should be given to the Son of Heaven. ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Bo Fu was the same back then. Or it should be said that the real heroes in the world are actually like this, and the Son of Heaven must give enough face. ”

Lu Ren said: "Gong Jin, what do you want to say about these words that will be scolded as great rebellion when you hear them?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "What do you want to say?" Lu Nanhai, you can't tear your face, you don't want to do something that hurts the face of the Son of Heaven, and you also gave up the opportunity to dominate the Central Plains for this reason, these old men can understand. It's just that in the Central Plains of China, there are some things you don't want to do, but in this foreign land outside of China, what does it matter if you do it? If you do it, you will live up to the face of the Son of Heaven and the name of a loyal minister in China, and you can also leave a name for eternity and build an immortal career. ”

“…… Gong Jin, you are persuading me to destroy the Kushan and rest in peace, and then build a ...... of my own Anyway, it didn't hurt the face of Huaxia and the Son of Heaven, so it doesn't matter if I do this? ”

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded: "Not bad!" If you possess the vast land of Central Asia, what does it matter if you are crowned king? Then you build the foundation and leave your inheritance, so how can you not leave a heavy mark on this history? ”

Saying that, Zhou Yu smiled very weirdly: "If you have a heart, the old man is willing to help you...... No, it can't be said that the old man helped you, but it should be said that the old man borrowed your hand to set up a different name in history. But the most important thing is to do this, and the old man is not disappointed by Wu Hou......"
