He raised his eyes and looked around for a while, then turned to the carriage behind him and said loudly: "Shopkeeper Qiu, please come down and take a breather. Let's rest for a while before we set off!"

Lu Xiaoxian was indeed very kind to Qi Qishui and Qiu Tao. Not only did he pay three times the fee for hiring them as guides along the way, he also prepared a spacious carriage for them. There were not many employers who were so generous.

See.

Hatred Shui responded, and got off the carriage with Qiu Tao, and saw Lu Xiaoxian looking at them with a smile.

He hurriedly saluted Lu Xiaoxian: "Thank you, Mr. Lu!"

Hatred Shui's original surname is Li, and his grandfather is Wulian County Duke Li Junxian. It has been his long-term wish to vindicate his wronged grandfather.

Over the years, he has traveled to and from Luoyang many times for this matter. He has sought help from countless people and spent a lot of money and energy, but has made no progress at all.

Just when the hatred was gradually giving up, Lu Xiaoxian's appearance ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.

A few days ago, Lu Xiaoxian told Hate Shui that he had a solution for the matter, but Hate Shui was still half-convinced. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoxian's words came true. Not long after, the imperial court issued an imperial edict. Not only did Li Junxian regain his honorary title,

He was also given the title of General Jinwuwei.

Things that were originally out of reach suddenly became a reality, and Hate Shui felt like he was dreaming. Although he didn't know how Lu Xiaoxian facilitated this, he had a deeper understanding of Lu Xiaoxian's energy.

A long-cherished wish came to an end. Qian Shui felt refreshed and there was no need to stay in Luoyang any longer, so he was eager to leave.

Although the hatred is urgent, Lu Xiaoxian is not anxious at all. He and Lin Yun have the same idea. According to Lu Xiaoxian's method, will it take a year and a month to reach Taozhou?

Hatred Shui asked tentatively: "Master Lu, weren't you in a hurry to go to Taozhou? Isn't it a little too slow to go like this?"

"This is the moment!" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "Now is a troubled time. The two countries on the border of Taozhou are about to fight. When Wang Xiaojie and General Manager Wang arrive in Taozhou, we will be more confident. If we can reach Taozhou before him,

State, if something unexpected happens, wouldn’t we become ghosts?”

Thinking that the two countries were about to go to war, Hate Shui's mood became even more complicated, but what Lu Xiaoxian said was not true.

Logically speaking, it's not hard for him to push again.

Seeing that Qiu Shui remained silent, Lu Xiaoxian glanced at him meaningfully: "Is it possible that Shopkeeper Qiu is in a hurry to go to Taozhou?"

"No, no, no, I'm not in a hurry!" Hatred Water waved his hand quickly.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly, then changed the topic and suddenly asked: "During these days in Luoyang, has Shopkeeper Qiu paid homage to the Dragon Gate Buddha?"

"Ah?" Qing Shui didn't know why Lu Xiaoxian suddenly asked this question. He nodded, "Been there!"

"I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent to carve a giant Buddha from a mountain rock with huge teeth for thousands of people to admire. But destroying it is also very simple. You only need to hollow out its foundation, and then push it gently, and the Buddha will be destroyed in an instant.

It will turn into a pile of rubble!”

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, the expression on Hate Shui's face changed several times. How could he not hear the warning in Lu Xiaoxian's words?

Lu Xiaoxian smiled hoarsely, "I'm just joking, who has nothing better to do than turn a perfectly good Buddha statue into rubble? Don't you think so, Shopkeeper Qiu?"

The muscles on Hate Shui's face were a little stiff, and he nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, this trip still requires a lot of cooperation from Shopkeeper Qiu. Once it's done, I won't treat you badly!" Lu Xiaoxian patted Qiu Shui on the shoulder, "You rest first, I'll go take a look at the back!

"

After saying that, Lu Xiaoxian whistled, walked unsteadily, and turned around to leave.

Looking at Lu Xiaoxian's back, Qiu Tao asked his father in a low voice: "Dad, does he already know our identities?"

Hatred Water nodded, then shook his head.

"Why is he so arrogant? Is he determined to defeat us?" Qiu Tao said angrily.

Hate Shui smiled bitterly, but it was a sure thing, and it left them with no room to fight back.

After walking a long way, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted to Qiu Shui: "By the way, Shopkeeper Qiu, remember to keep your spirits up, we will continue to play in the evening!"

After hearing Lu Xiaoxian's words, the bitter look on Qishui's face became even heavier.

I don’t know where Lu Xiaoxian got such a big addiction. Every night, he and a few others would be dragged along to either throw dice or play Pai Gow. Anyway, he would never rest until midnight, and Lu Xiaoxian was lucky.

It's surprisingly good, and you will definitely win every bet. In just a few days, Hatred Water not only paid Lu Xiaoxian

He lost all his reward and lost hundreds of taels of silver.

…

Several strong slaves carried various household items on their shoulders and followed Lu Xiaoxian towards the place where Sergeant Yu Lin rested.

Several sergeants were filled with evil spirits. The swords in their hands were already out of their sheaths, as if they were about to see blood at any time.

When they got close, Lu Xiaoxian said to a wary sergeant Yulin: "Hurry and report to the envoy Mr. Guo that Lu needs to see you for something!"

In the past few days, Lu Xiaoxian would definitely come whenever he took a break, and Sergeant Yu Lin had long been accustomed to it.

The sergeant agreed, turned around and ran away.

After a while, Guo Zhen trotted over to greet him.

"Mr. Lu, you can come if you want. If you ask for an audience, you won't offend me!"

Guo Zhen was originally a county lieutenant in Nanba County. When he fought against the rebellion with the refugee army, Lu Xiaoxian fought with him and knew his situation very well.

When he arrived in Luoyang, Lu Xiaoxian recommended Guo Zhen when he met Wu Zetian for the first time.

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's introduction, Wu Zetian was very curious about Guo Zhen and specially ordered Guo Zhen to come to Beijing to see him.

When meeting Wu Zetian, Guo Zhen showed no stage fright and talked eloquently. Wu Zetian was very satisfied with his performance.

Wu Zetian did not blame Guo Zhen for his past violations of criminal law. Not only did he make an exception and promoted him to the rank of Youwu Wei Cao to join the army, but she also specially asked him to recite the "Sword Pian" loudly in front of the civil and military officials of the court when he was in court, and even ordered someone to copy it and publish it.

For the appreciation of bachelors.

Without Lu Xiaoxian's strong recommendation, Guo Zhen would not be where he is today. Therefore, Guo Zhen is still full of gratitude to Lu Xiaoxian.

"You can't say that!" Lu Xiaoxian said seriously, "You are an envoy sent by the imperial court to Tubo. Of course I, a commoner, want to see you!"

Guo Zhen had a dumbfounded expression on his face. His "envoy" was not sent by the imperial court, but was temporarily appointed as an official by Lu Xiaoxian.

Initially, Wu Zetian summoned Chen Xuanli and Guo Zhen into the palace and gave them clear tasks.

Chen Xuanli's mission is to lead fifty Yulin soldiers to protect Lu Xiaoxian throughout the entire process and prevent any accidents from happening.
