Volume 1 The Fierce Wind Rises Chapter 42

While the two were talking to each other, the servants rushed in to serve the food. This dish is a soup, the color is turquoise, and it is served in a pure white porcelain bowl, which is extremely refreshing. If you look closely, the green and blue vegetable leaves in the soup are either Shu or rolled, which is very good-looking; Smell it and feel a strange fragrance coming to your nose. Wen Qiao, Xu Run and others here are all well-educated people, but they can't recognize the origin of this dish for a while.

Everyone speculated, but Lu Yao picked up the soup in front of him, and his hands trembled a little.

Waves of turbulent emotions suddenly arose, surging violently in his chest. This feeling made Lu Yao dizzy, and he frantically checked all his memories in this era, tracing the turbulent past of Lu Yao, the head of the state army, for more than 20 years, trying to find the source of this fierce feeling.

Got it...... Got it...... So that's it...... The thing in front of you is clearly a unique Ulva soup in Jiangdong. Such a light and neutral aroma is obviously from Yangzhou's specialty pheasant tail Ulva, the only one in the world, and there is no semicolon. Although I have been away from my hometown for 20 years, how can I forget the breath of this hometown? Even if Lu Yao had always been calm, he couldn't help but look a little excited at this time.

In the past, when Lu Shiheng saw Wang Wuzi, Wang Wuzi showed Lu Shiheng with sheep cheese and said: Why is Qingdong Wu the enemy? Lu Shiheng said: "Thousands of miles of soup, no salt soybean." In Lu Shiheng's view, the deliciousness of the soup is enough to compete with feta cheese without the need for salt and soybean. Liu Kun's leisurely voice sounded, he pointed at the soup and winked at Lu Yao, and then said to everyone: "Daoming must know this allusion, right?" This lettuce soup is a specialty of Jiangdong, which can eliminate food and relieve greasyness; If your belly is full, this soup is the most suitable. You're welcome, but please taste it. ”

This remark startled Lu Yao, and Liu Kun looked at Lu Yao with a smile, his expression was not abnormal at all. He raised the wine glass in his hand to signal, Lu Yao raised his glass somewhat mechanically in return, and in an instant, the faded memories that had been sealed for a long time came to his heart.

That was more than 10 years ago. At that time, Shiheng Gong and Shilong Gong walked around the power gate in Luoyang, but their careers were unexpected. On this day, the second duke entrusted Shi Chong's relationship to meet Wang Ji Wang Wuzi, a member of the dynasty.

Wang Wuzi's villa is located in the southwest suburbs of Luoyang City, on the verge of Luoshui, the garden is more than ten miles around, the mountains and forests and clear water are intertwined, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered according to the terrain, and the house is decorated with the genus of amber rhino horn, which is very gorgeous. On that day, the villa was full of high-ranking friends: led by Zhang Hua, a veteran of the DPRK and China, followed by Jia Mi, the secretary and supervisor of the official residence, Pan Yue Pan Anren, who was known for his literary talent and handsomeness, and Lu Zhi, who was born in Fanyang Gaomen, etc.; Liu Yu, who was the waiter of Zhongshu at the time, and his younger brothers Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi were present.

Hearing that Jiangdong Erlu was visiting, Wang Wuzi ordered him to be invited. At that time, Lu Yao had not yet served, and Lu Wei and Lu Xia, the second son of Lu Shiheng, were serving behind the elder together, and they also tended to enter.

Wang Wuzi, who was on the throne, had obviously drunk too much, and he drunkenly pointed to the sheep cheese in front of him and asked Shi Henggong: "What can you compare with this good thing in the barbaric land of Eastern Wu?" ”

This was really a bit rude, but Shi Henggong replied with a smile: "Only take the lettuce produced in Qianli Lake as a soup, even if you don't add salt and soybean, it is enough to compare." ”

Before Wang Wuzi could answer, Lu Zhi beside him burped and squinted at Shi Henggong: "I heard that there are people named Lu Xun and Lu Kang in Eastern Wu, what does it have to do with you two brothers?" Calling the names of other people's elders in front of them was really disrespectful, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Shi Henggong's face sank: "The relationship is just like Your Excellency's to Lu Yu and Lu Ting!" As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhi hid his face and retreated in shame.

Lu Zhifang retreated, and another person got up. This person has a wide robe and a broad belt, a face like Fu powder, and he looks fluttering like a fairy, it is Pan Yue, a loose horseman: "When the late Han Dynasty was in turmoil, Sun Ce went down to the south of the Yangtze River and slaughtered the local strong sects, and hundreds of people were killed in the Lu clan from the patriarch Lu Kang below. And Lu Xun, Lu Kang and others did not think of revenge, but devoted themselves to serving Sun Wu. Ling brothers Lu Mian and Lu Jing stubbornly resisted the imperial court soldiers to death. There are many people in the Lu clan in Jiangdong who recognize thieves as their fathers and those who resist stubbornly, what is the face of coming to Luoyang to seek officials? ”

Shi Henggong stepped forward proudly and talked eloquently: "The people of Jiangdong have a proverb: Lu Zhong, Gu Hou, Zhang Wen, Zhu Wu. My Lu family has been loyal to the family for several generations, and if you are loyal to one surname, you will definitely do your best and die to the death, so as to support the Sun family to expand the territory of Southern Xia and compete with the world. It's Your Excellency Pan, so that your grandfather is Anping Taishou, I don't know which dynasty and which surname gave the official? Ling Zun is the internal history of Langya, and I don't know which dynasty and which surname gave the official? The death of the Han and Wei dynasties, although it was the will of heaven, was also conspired. And the Xingyang Pan family enjoys the high-ranking officials, when the dynasty changes, can there be loyal people? Is there a dead one? The door is full of people who can move at any time and protect their family background, what is your face to patrol Luoyang? ”

When these words came out, not only Pan Yue was embarrassed and landless, but everyone present was colorless. The Han and Wei dynasties died one after another, and who was not the people of the country in this huge Luoyang city? Who has not flattered the new Lord? For a while, there was silence in the hall, and no one dared to come forward to answer.

On that day, Luoyang celebrities debated difficulties one after another, and Shiheng Gong answered them one by one, citing scriptures and classics, and deterring everyone in one fell swoop. Since then, Jiangdong Erlu has become famous, shaking the government and the opposition, and the two of them are known for their literary names with Pan Yue, Lu Zhi, Liu Yu, Liu Kun and others, and they sing back and forth with each other, so they are called "Twenty-four Friends".

On that day, Shi Henggong's vertical and horizontal talents were unparalleled, and he was the radiant protagonist. Later, Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi of Hebei listened in a low-key manner at the banquet, and did not say a word from beginning to end; And Lu Yao, who is a younger disciple, just stood silently behind Shiheng Gong and held the cherished jade Ruyi for him.

The literary style of Luoyang City is like the prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. In just a few short years, the situation has been turned upside down. The former influential figures disappeared, and Erlu, Zhang Hua, Jia Mi, Pan An, Shi Chong, etc. all died unexpectedly. More up-and-comers surged and then vanished like waves shattering on the beach. To this day, in this desolate Jinyang City, Liu Kun and Lu Yao, who were in its prime, sat opposite each other. One person took advantage of the situation to rise, and he was already a feudal official and a pillar of the imperial court; Another person, a family full of 46 relatives, all died under the butcher's knife, and he has been displaced to this day, and he no longer wants to show his true identity.

The scenes of the past seemed to be repeated in front of him suddenly, and for a while, Lu Yao seemed to be stunned, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Obviously, Liu Kun has recognized his origin.

Before his death, Shiheng Gong was the governor of hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of Sima Ying, the emperor's younger brother and king of Chengdu. Because of the unfavorable war, he was slandered by the traitorous eunuchs, and was killed by Sima Ying, and his relatives and heirs were killed at the same time. Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, was the main political enemy of the king of Chengdu, and Sima Ying was imprisoned in Yecheng after the defeat, and it was Liu Yu, the important minister under the command of the king of the East China Sea and Liu Kun's brother, who gave him death.

In this way, Lu Yao should have asked Liu Kun to convey his gratitude to his brother. However, due to the unjust death of Duke Shiheng and Duke Shilong, the fear of the remnants of the fallen country in the north towards the magnates of Luoyang can be said to be overwhelming. Lu Yao didn't have the joy of reuniting with his old friend at all, but made him slightly afraid.

After a long time, Lu Yao took a deep breath and pressed his metacarpal bones, trying his best to calm himself down. Why should I bother with these things? This feeling is difficult to put into words.

He suddenly understood why this mere memory produced such emotion.

This era is the era of Huang Zhong being destroyed and the clay kettle thundering, and it is an era of moral decay and people's hearts are in danger. In this era, moral people can show off their arrogance without scruples, and the imperial court officials can openly plunder the people under their rule, and the imperial power at the top is itself seized by bullying orphans and widows, and it is the most despicable of the despicable.

In such an era, morality and law are meaningless at all, and the only thing that can maintain social order is blood. For Lu Yao, the commander of the Bingzhou Army before the modern people's memory awakens, the only thing he has never forgotten for so many years is the Lu clan in Wu County.

After coming to this era, Lu Yao only took over the first 20 years of life of the ancients "Lu Yao" as a successor. He once thought that he would never be moved by the feelings of the ancients. However, at this moment, he had to admit that Lu Yao belonged not only to the urban migrant workers from the future, but also to the soldier who was ruined and struggling to survive in the troubled times. What "Lu Yao" carries and carries is what he carries and carries.

Lu Yao is by no means a passerby of this world, but completely belongs to this world, and belongs to the turbulent waves of the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty.
