Chapter 124 Erlang of the Song family, Zhou family in Hejian
The local ruffians were caught by Song Erlang and Song Shen, tied into a ball and thrown into a corner.
Lu Xingshi looked at Song Zhi and then at Song Shen. Both of them were medicinal materials. One was bigger and the other was smaller. All the nutrients were given to Song Shen, right?
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for saving my brother." After hearing the introduction, Song Shen was also frightened. He didn't expect that in the years since he left home, a big insect would appear in Laiyan Town.
Lu Xingshi could see that this Song Shen was very powerful, especially with his horizontal training and excellent innate bones, he was no different from Tian Jian, a fierce tiger in the army.
Now it seems that when he came to Laiyan Town, he was not only given a magic weapon, but also a fierce general.
No, maybe the strong general is the real opportunity, and the magic weapon may just be a bonus.
"It's the right thing to draw your sword to help when there's an injustice on the road." After Lu Xingshi finished speaking, he asked about Song Shen's situation.
He has been hanging around in Kyoto for these years, hoping to get an official position, but Da Song previously valued literature over military affairs, so he has never been able to find a way.
Joining the army is even more unsuitable. He has a family. Once he joins the army, his family will become a military household and he will be implicated. At that time, it will be difficult even for his nephew to obtain meritorious honors in the future, although his nephew is not there yet.
But it's a precautionary measure.
Therefore, what he wanted was to join the hands of a certain civil servant and seek a better career.
It's a pity that Da Song's behavior became more and more absurd, and his idea of loyalty to the emperor and the country was almost worn away, and he could only come back in the end.
"How about joining King Yan?" Lu Xingshi asked tentatively.
Song Shen heard this but hesitated: "King Yan is not orthodox after all. If I go to him, if something happens in the future, I will inevitably be implicated."
"In the Song Dynasty, traitors and sycophants caused chaos before, and now there are women who are disrupting the government. All it takes is a royal family member to bring things back to order and Yuyu can be clarified."
Compared to the more rebellious King Yan, Song Shen naturally preferred the Dasong court, after all, he had lived in Dasong for so many years.
"Oh? Are you planning to support the Western Qin Emperor who is far away in the Western Regions? He has a succession edict, is supported by the Palace Master of Huangjue Palace, and is a prince."
"He is a man of first-class civil and military talent. He does have investment potential." When Lu Xingshi heard this, his only candidate was the Emperor of Western Qin.
"I have also thought that the Western Region is far away, and the Western Qin...His Majesty Emperor Song is indeed orthodox. If he defected, I might not be able to see my eldest brother and sister-in-law again." Song Shen also agreed with Lu Xingshi's statement, but he could also see that, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for the Western Qin Emperor to really regain the world.
There is even a possibility that he will never be able to fight back to the Central Plains for the rest of his life, and if he really joins it, he will never see his eldest brother and sister-in-law again in this life.
Although Emperor Pingyang has been criticized for not conforming to the mainstream, his position is stable and he has also gathered the entire Central Plains. It is not that easy for Emperor Xi Qin to come back.
The greater possibility is that Da Song split into two.
"It seems that Song Erlang is not planning to join any party." Lu Xingshi told the other party's true thoughts.
"Not really. When I came back from Kyoto, I met a noble man. He appreciated me and invited me to work in his house."
"After I come back to see my elder brother and sister-in-law, I will leave in a while."
"I will come back to pick up my eldest brother and sister-in-law when I get a firm foothold." Song Shen didn't hide much. Lu Xingshi was his eldest brother's savior. There was nothing he couldn't say. What's more, this was not a crime, so he said it openly. It's normal to come out.
Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes. If he could recruit Song Shen, he must be another person with the destiny of being emperor.
After the world revived, Lu Xingshi also noticed that more and more destined people began to appear in the inheritance of the Emperor's fate and martial arts.
It may also be because Da Song is about to come to an end, so dragons and snakes rise up from various places and start fighting for the world.
"Congratulations to Song Dalang. You no longer have to go to the mountains to collect herbs." Lu Xingshi was thinking about how to draw Song Shen to King Yan's camp.
Meeting him means that there is still a chance to cut off the beard.
"I wonder who this noble person is?" Lu Xingshi asked tentatively.
"He is the eldest son of the Zhou family in Hejian. He is nicknamed Junzijian by the Jianghu people. He is a first-class gentleman."
"His treatment of others is even more refreshing. Even if he is a vulgar man like me, Mr. Zhou is also a courteous and virtuous man."
"That's why I'm going to join him and become a stick coach." Song Shen took a few sips of wine and started talking.
Song Zhi became a foil, listening to Song Shen's words with Lu Xingshi.
Lu Xingshi did not know the Hejian Zhou family and Jun Zijian, the eldest young master Zhou. They were at different levels. Jun Zijian was at most a young knight of the younger generation.
However, every person Lu Xingshi comes into contact with must be at least a master figure. If he is lower, he is really not qualified to contact him.
"Judging from the rumors about his conduct, he is indeed famous far and wide." Lu Xingshi did not think that the other party was a hypocrite. Maybe the other party did these things to win people's hearts, but if he really implemented the benefits, he would do real things. Yes, then the other person is a gentleman.
Doing good deeds is of course a matter of deeds but not of heart. Otherwise, no matter how good the words are, without any actual actions, they are just empty words.
"Junzi Zhou's reputation in the world is vaguely close to that of King Yan Lu Xingshi, but his status in the world is slightly inferior." Song Shen is also a member of the world, so he knows a lot. "Hey, this King Yan's name is the same as your benefactor." Song Zhi said with some surprise.
Of course he didn't know the name of King Yan, he only knew that he was called King Yan.
Song Shen's voice couldn't help but pause, and then he looked at Lu Xingshi. Before, he only knew Lu Xingshi's surname was Lu, but now that he looked again, there seemed to be something wrong.
"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that King Yan is the best master in the world. He defeated the King of Liao and destroyed the King of Qi. The two emperors of Pingyang and Western Qin even avoided his power and did not dare to fight. They were enemies of ten thousand people." Song Shen looked at Lu Xingshi. At this moment, he Only then did he realize that he couldn't see through Lu Xingshi.
"It's all just rumors, so they can't be trusted." Lu Xingshi replied with a smile.
Song Zhi also noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Is it possible, Shaoxia Lu, that you are really the King of Yan?" Song Zhi asked in disbelief with her eyes widened.
"Well, it's me." Lu Xingshi admitted openly.
The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the gangsters who were tied aside almost burst into tears. You are so powerful, why don't you even have any pomp, why are you so low-key?
"Actually, they are the ones who promote me. I usually don't care about anything, and I travel all over the country."
"I say I am the King of Yan, but in fact most of the credit belongs to others. I just gave him a name." Lu Xingshi is not greedy for credit. Fame and power are like clouds to him.
"So His Highness, King Yan, was planning to recruit me just now?" Song Shen didn't even mention me and directly used me.
"That's not true. I'm just asking as usual. I don't care about anything." Lu Xingshi spread his hands and said that you can go to whoever you want to go to.
This actually made Song Shen confused. The other party did have the idea of recruiting him, but he just respected his decision.
On one side is his eldest brother's savior, and on the other side is the young master Zhou who appreciates him, which makes Song Shen very embarrassed.
If Lu Xingshi didn't have such a relationship, Song Shen would never have thought of taking refuge with Lu Xingshi. This could be regarded as repaying a favor.
"Erlang, how are you treated by Young Master Zhou?" Song Zhi asked.
"I treat you like a distinguished guest." Song said truthfully.
"That's very good. Why are you hesitating? It's not a part-time job anywhere. The treatment will definitely be better in Hejian." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.
He is not so narrow-minded that he would kill the other person's whole family if they don't surrender to him. It's just that after parting ways, he won't show any kindness when they meet again next time, and he will still kill him if he should.
"If you come to my side, even with my recommendation, you can only start from a junior high school and accumulate military merit little by little to be promoted."
"When you come to the Zhou family in Hejian, you will be a stick coach, so your status must be high."
"Besides, Hejian is stable and located in the hinterland of the Dasong court. If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be no wars spreading in recent years." Lu Xingshi also analyzed the pros and cons for him.
The more he heard about Song Shen, the more he felt that the Zhou family in Hejian was a good place to go, but when he looked at Song Zhi again, he seemed to be deep in thought.
If it were Song Zhi, he would definitely want his younger brother to join Lu Xingshi.
Not to mention other things, even though it was a small school, he became an official after all, and he also knew that his younger brother was Yongwu. With the King of Yan here, he would be promoted very quickly, and it was also very close to home, so there was no need to worry. Too far away to take care of.
There are also disadvantages, and that is danger.
When Song Shen joins the army, he must be fighting, and there will be no undead in a war.
As for the issue of military households, there is no need to worry about this. The military households are Dasong's military households. They have taken refuge in Dayan. The military households of Dayan are not a drag, but real good treatment.
"Eldest brother is a father. What do you think, eldest brother?" Song Shen could only ask Song Zhi. It was really difficult to make a choice.
"If Erlang wants to go to Hejian, he can go to Hejian and serve His Highness King Yan. Of course, that's okay."
"His Royal Highness the King of Yan is so generous that he can make suggestions even for you to serve the Emperor of Western Qin. He will definitely not embarrass me and your sister-in-law." Song Zhi spoke out his thoughts.
"Yes, no matter who you seek refuge with, you are just one person and will not have much impact on the overall situation." Lu Xingshi echoed.
When Song Shen heard this, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
If they are not enemies now, then it will definitely be fine. If in the future when King Yan's army sweeps the world, they will be enemies...
"This matter is not urgent for now. I am going back to my hometown to visit my eldest brother and sister-in-law. I don't really want to vote for anyone. The worst I can do is go up the mountain with my eldest brother in the town to collect herbs." Song Shen had no choice, but planned to hold off and wait. talk about it later.
"It's really a pity if you really have to go home to collect medicine. You can throw yourself into the Hejian Zhou family and wait until I beat you before surrendering."
"This is called living up to the Tathagata and living up to your Majesty." Lu Xingshi said this as if he was joking.
