The words that Lu Ren said to Chen Gong seemed to deviate a little from the question that Chen Gong wanted to ask, but in fact, Lu Ren answered Chen Gong's question. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Let's put it this way, Chen Gong is actually vaguely saying to Lu Ren that with the current situation and the strength that Lu Ren now holds, if the alien races in the north are left alone, let the north ...... To be precise, if Cao Wei's territory is plunged into a chaotic situation, Lu Ren can take advantage of this chaos to obtain great benefits. If Lu Ren works hard, fights a little, and even comes to "build an emperor and enter the world", it is very possible.

And Lu Ren's answer was to tell Chen Gong with some truths and the like that he was not interested in such things as "building an emperor and entering the world". As for why Lu Ren participated in the war against the aliens, Lu Ren also clearly told Chen Gong that he had a plot of resentment. However, for Chen Gong, he can't really understand what "angry youth" is, but Chen Gong can understand that kind of mentality. After all, in that era, there were many people and things who were indignant against foreign races.

Further, according to Chen Gong's understanding of what Lu Ren said, Lu Ren belongs to the kind of person who is "good at being a hero". And Chen Gong didn't read the "pirated novels" made by Lu Ren and Cai Yan, so he also had the understanding of the novel characters that "fight the sword in the world, and throw fame and fortune behind you" in his mind.

Okay, don't talk about it, anyway, Chen Gong understands Lu Ren's thoughts. Although Chen Gong felt a little regretful that Lu Ren didn't have the heart to build an account or something, he understood very well what "everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced". His current identity is Lu Ren's guest secretary, and Lu Ren is kind to Chen Gong, so if Lu Ren wants to do something, Chen Gong can help. And if it is to help Lu Ren defeat the alien races of all parties, Chen Gong believes that he will be able to leave a name in history in the future, and there is nothing bad to think about, isn't it?

Lu Ren here also came back to his senses, turned his head to Chen Gong and said, "Brother Gongtai, I have always known that you can't fight indiscriminately and can't do things indiscriminately, otherwise I will kill myself." I actually know the disadvantages you mentioned, but I also believe that as long as you think about everything, there will eventually be a way to get the best of both worlds, and many disadvantages may always turn into advantages. For example......

Chen Gong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that Yihao has a little bit of a plan in his heart, and the old man is willing to hear about it." ”

Lu Ren put his hands behind his back and muttered: "In the art of war, it is said that the military struggle is profitable, and if there is no profit, you will not go." We are now in Liaoxi, and after defeating the alliance of the three clans, we will send troops to reinforce Xiaocao's Jinyang, and we will also provide assistance to Liu Bei in advanced weapons and equipment. Maybe you still don't understand Brother Gongtai, but when I think of this, I think of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's westward expedition...... Mr. Gongtai, what do you say Emperor Wu is marching to the west? ”

Chen Gong said: "Naturally, it is to take revenge on the Huns and raise the prestige of my Han country." Oh, Emperor Wu's expedition to the west is also for the sweat and blood of the Western Regions. ”

Lu Ren waved his hand and smiled: "It's not all! I think what Emperor Wu really wanted to do was to open up the trade routes of the Western Regions and exchange trade with the Roman Empire in the far west. ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Yihao, you started as a businessman, and you always think about things with business interests. ”

Lu Ren also smiled: "What's so bad about hanging on to business profits?" If the business route is smooth, the country will be rich! You may also ask me, since I have a trade route on the sea, and the road in the Western Regions is only related to Xiao Cao and Liu Bei, and I don't need it, then why would I help Xiao Cao and Liu Bei to fight the Western Regions Alliance? ”

Chen Gong was stunned, he actually didn't expect this. But seeing that Lu Ren talked about it, he pushed the boat down the river and let Lu Ren continue.

Lu Ren shook his finger at Chen Gong: "If you want to make money, especially to make a lot of money, then we have to let our trading partners have money to make first, at least there must be an environment where we can make good money, otherwise it will be fishing for all our might." If Liu Bei and Xiao Cao are in a mess and take care of themselves because of the war, then how can I make money from them?

"So, I have a three-fold purpose for helping them repel the Western Regions Alliance. The first layer is for the righteousness of our Central Plains of China, I won't talk about this, I feel like it's hypocritical if I talk too much; The second layer is to let their territory settle down as soon as possible, so that they can collect taxes well, and only after collecting taxes can they have money to buy my things, so that I can earn more money from them; The third layer, after defeating the Western Regions coalition army and defeating and subduing the 36 countries in the Western Regions, it is conducive to reopening the Western Regions trade route on land. And although I don't use the Western Regions Business Road on land, I can't use it, but if Xiao Cao and Liu Bei are smarter, they can use the Western Regions Business Road to get rich profits and make them even richer in their hands. So they have more money in their hands, and I'm not the same as I can make more money from their hands? ”

Chen Gong was stunned for a long time this time and couldn't understand it, but he felt that what Lu Ren said seemed to make a lot of sense, so he nodded to Lu Ren half-understandingly.

Lu Ren smiled, but he was secretly muttering in his heart that there were still some things we couldn't say.

Lu Ren looked through the historical materials a lot after passing through, and because of his own conditions, he paid special attention to some historical materials that he could use. Especially in Yizhou, Lu Ren borrowed from Zheng Zhilong in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Zheng Zhilong, that is, Zheng Chenggong's father, completely relied on maritime business profits to support his kingdom. Zheng Chenggong's ability to recover Taiwan after that has a lot to do with the capital left by Zheng Zhilong. This is really Zheng Chenggong's descendants are not very angry, otherwise the Qing court's plan to take Taiwan does not know how long it will have to be delayed. And now Lu Ren's maritime strength is only above Zheng Zhilong, and it is no problem to support a certain degree of field.

But now is not the time to say these, Lu Ren thought about it for a while and said: "Brother Gongtai, since I always have business interests in my heart, then I have to think about business interests in the affairs of the northern border. The three layers I just mentioned should be very clear, right? I'll add a few more words that, in any case, I have a very close trade with the North.

"And doing business to make money, if it is an area where fierce battles are continuous, selling ordnance and grain and grass will be extremely profitable, but for me, first, our Yizhou trade is not mainly ordnance, and the most profitable is still our Yizhou's various specialties; Second, if weapons and equipment are sold too much, then aren't they helping the enemy to fight themselves? Therefore, our Yizhou business road wants to make money here in the north, and what we need most is still a peaceful north. The people in the north live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous life, so that our business will be better and we will make more money. ”

Chen Gong smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, Yihao is reasonable." ”

Jiang You continued: "Secondly, if I help Xiao Cao and Liu Bei to fight the alien race in the realm and make the northern realm peaceful, in addition to earning back a good reputation, one is that we have sold a lot of favors to the Cao family, and the other is that we have set up enough authority over the Cao family, the alien race, and even Liu Bei in Xishu and Sun Quan in Jiangdong who is in Huzhiyizhou, so it can be regarded as both grace and power."

"In this case, the Cao family wants to sell face to us, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan will not want to provoke us. As for the northern alien races and the countries of the Western Regions, if we want to invade China, we must consider what our attitude will be. Again, whether it is the northern alien race or the specialties of the Western Regions, many of their specialties are also very much needed and very profitable. Just now I asked Gan Xingba to select some prisoners and send them back to the desert plain, you also understand the intention of Brother Gongtai, right? And if these guys are afraid of us, we will throw out some similar conditions in due time, and I believe that these guys will be happy to do business with us in peace. Brother Gongtai, do you think that's the case? ”

Chen Gong laughed and said, "It seems that Yihao is not as high-spirited and bright as the old man guessed!" ”

Lu Ren laughed back: "Gao Feng Liang Festival? In a sense, the high wind and bright festival is pedantic! Let me say something ugly, the celebrities and gentlemen of the high wind and bright festival are indeed worthy of respect, but they can only be a spiritual category, and what can they really do if they are pedantic?

"There is such a sentence, have you ever heard of the public station? It is said that 'to be a good person only needs a conscience, to be a bad person you need a thousand clever plans, and if you want to be a good person who can subdue a bad person, you need both a conscience and a thousand clever plans'. I want to be a good person who can subdue the bad guys, so I must not be pedantic...... Then again, if I'm really the kind of person who is completely high-spirited, will you help me? ”

Chen Gong paused, and then laughed again: "Of course not!" If Yihao is really that kind of pedantic...... Oh no, it's an overly high-spirited person, and the old man is only afraid of how many times he has died a long time ago. ”

Lu Ren smiled again, and then said with a straight face: "Brother Gongtai, although I have no intention of building an account...... Oh, I don't want to do something, but what I want to do is not small, so if I can, I hope my brother can help me. ”

Chen Gong nodded: "Yihao will not give up, and the old man should obey his fate." And I think what you want to do is definitely more interesting than 'something'. ”

Lu Ren leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Heroes of the world, why do you need to bind yourself in the name of the emperor? ”

Chen Gong smiled knowingly and stopped making a sound.

――――――――――――――――――――

After the end of the talks with Chen Gong, there is no need to mention how to treat the army and what kind of banquet next, only to say that two days after the army, Chen Gong and Gan Ning, Deng Ai and others were busy thinking about what to do next, and Lu Ren finally took the time to visit Lu Lingqi at Lu Lingqi's residence in Jinzhou City. As soon as she entered the inner courtyard, Mink Chan greeted her, but after the two of them were relatively speechless for a long time, Mink Chan sighed lightly: "You are finally willing to come over to see Lingqi." ”

Lu Ren sighed helplessly: "No way, there are some things I can't care about without scruples...... How is Lu Yatou now? ”

Minchan glanced back at Lu Lingqi's boudoir, shook her head again and sighed, "What do you want me to say?" I can only tell you that almost all the bones that can be broken are broken all over Lu Yatou's body. It is a blessing in misfortune, and not a single bone that cannot be broken has not been broken. At that time, Lu Lingqi was in a mess, and it was really fortunate to have this kind of result. This girl is really desperate, she actually took off her armor when she was about to fight! It's a good thing that she also has a set of special rubber inner armor on her body, which can block ordinary knives and spears, otherwise, ......"

Lu Ren had already heard from others about how Lu Lingqi fought desperately that day, and he could only shake his head at this time. Glancing at the boudoir over there, Lu Ren asked softly, "How is it now?" Can I go in and see Lu Yatou? ”

Minchan nodded: "You should have come to see Lu Yatou a long time ago, go in." ”

At this time, it was already afternoon, and Lu Ren sat on Lu Lingqi's couch. Looking at Lu Lingqi on the couch, Lu Ren wanted to laugh, but he really couldn't laugh. Looking closely at Lu Lingqi at this time, her whole body was covered with plaster and bandages, and she was no different from a mummy at a glance. In Lu Ren's memory of modern society, he only vaguely remembers that he often saw such a situation in those funny films before crossing over, and as soon as this kind of "mummy" character appears, it will often be followed by laughter. But when it came time to face it, Lu Ren really couldn't laugh.

Maybe it's not long after lunch, people are easy to get sleepy, and the relationship between injured and sick people is even more so, Lu Lingqi is still asleep at this time. Seeing this, Lu Ren didn't want to wake up Lu Lingqi, but just sat there quietly and looked at Lu Lingqi in a daze. Minchan on her side wanted to wake up Lu Lingqi several times last time, but Lu Ren raised his hand to stop her, and then shook her head gently, signaling Minchan to let Lu Lingqi fall asleep like this.

Seeing Lu Lingqi's injuries like this, Lu Ren could imagine how fierce the decisive battle was that day, and how Lu Lingqi was playing with her life at that time. Now that the decisive battle has passed, let's let Lu Yatou take a good rest.

I don't know how long it has been like this, Lu Lingqi let out a "hmm", opened an eye slit in a daze, and knew that she had been sleeping for a long time and wanted to turn over or something, but she didn't really wake up. It's just that as soon as her eyes opened, Lu Lingqi naturally saw Lu Ren sitting quietly next to the couch. I don't know if it's because I haven't woken up yet, and people are a little dizzy, Lu Lingqi didn't react, and her eyes closed again.

Seeing this, Lu Ren smiled silently, and the person shook his head slightly, so that Minchan on his side really couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed hard twice.

Lu Ren wanted to stop but couldn't stop it, and Lu Lingqi here was reminded by Minchan's dry cough, and the person suddenly reacted, and hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at it again. Under this look, Lu Lingqi exclaimed: "Lu, Uncle Lu! ”

Out of the habit of conditioned reflex, Lu Lingqi hurriedly wanted to salute Lu Ren, but forgot that she was now covered with injuries all over her body, and she couldn't move at all.

Seeing this, Lu Ren wanted to reach out and press it, but stopped there because he didn't know where to touch it, or Minchan, who was following Lu Ren, reacted faster, and hurriedly crossed Lu Ren to Lu Lingqi's couch, and stretched out his hand to press Lu Lingqi back on the couch where Lu Lingqi could touch.

After a while, Lu Lingqi's pain gradually faded, and Lu Ren sat on the edge of the couch and shook his head at Lu Lingqi and sighed softly: "Lu girl, Uncle Lu has only come to visit you now, don't blame Uncle Lu!" ”

Lu Lingqi grinned: "How can it! Although I am always called by you 'girl, girl', I am not an ignorant little girl, but in your eyes, you still regard me as a little girl. This battle has just ended, Uncle Lu, you are here in a hurry, there will be a lot of things to do, and it is already very early to come and see Lingqi today. Actually, Uncle Lu, it doesn't matter if you come to visit Lingqi a few days later. By the way, Uncle Lu, how is Lingqi's fine ride? ”

Lu Ren said: "You fought too hard at that time. You girl, don't you understand the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing? Oh, I'm not saying you shouldn't have hit at the time, but I mean saying that you hit too hard and too quickly. ”

Minchan on the side stretched out her hand and twisted it on Lu Ren's back, frowning and said, "Yihao! ”

Lu Ren understood, and hurriedly changed his words: "Your three thousand elite horsemen have lost more than four hundred, and almost all of them are injured, so I am afraid that you will not be able to participate in the war again in a short time." But don't worry, Lu girl, we have captured a lot of excellent war horses in this battle, and now we are recruiting new soldiers, and I am going to expand your number to 5,000 horsemen. When your injuries are healed, you will take these 5,000 elite horses to kill the generals and make meritorious contributions. ”

At this point, Lu Ren paused, then sighed and said, "But now I still have to say something to you, what did you girl do so desperately at that time?" At that time, you led your army to break into the enemy army and disrupted the enemy's formation, so why did you have to kill the opponent desperately? Do you know that you're almost not coming back! You are still young and not married, in case of any accident, how do you want me to explain to your aunt? ”

Lu Lingqi was silent for a while when she heard this, and suddenly said softly: "It's a pity that Uncle Lu, you are not ...... Alas! Who made me have such an uncompetitive father? ”

“……”

Lu Renfu sighed again: "I remember that you asked me to lead the troops at that time, but I don't know if it was right or wrong to let you lead the troops into battle." You girl has such an idea, and her own temperament is stubborn, and she will be in a hurry to play with her life as soon as there is a situation! ”

Lu Lingqi bit her lip and squeaked, "Uncle Lu, Lingqi is not ashamed, right?" ”

Lu Ren sighed softly again: "You are much more competitive than your father." At least now the soldiers here in Liaoxi say that you are 'a woman like this, what is the regret of dying'. ”

"Really?"

Lu Ren nodded vigorously...... In fact, there is no shadow of this, but it is not too simple for Lu Ren to create some momentum and spread some rumors.

Lu Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, there is no shame." ”

Lu Ren was very helpless: "You girl, ......"

At this time, a maid entered the room with a freshly boiled soup, and Lu Ren took it casually, picked up the soup spoon and fed Lu Lingqi the medicine personally. And Lu Lingqi, who has always been strong and stubborn, is like a docile kitten at this moment, obediently taking all the decoctions. After feeding the medicine, Lu Lingqi looked at Lu Ren, her eyes rolled and she suddenly asked, "Uncle Lu, can I call you Daddy?" ”

This question almost didn't make Lu Ren beat the decoction in his hand......
