"Is the person you want to meet in the pavilion over there?"

The grass leaves were wet, rain dripping, and were plagued by the soles of the shoes. The Taoist followed the beast and turned out of the forest and looked at the pavilion there.

"It looks like a powerful family."

Lu Liangsheng, who was walking in front of the reins, turned his hat and turned his face slightly, and said "yes" lightly.

"The Yang family in Chang'an became the prime minister of the court, and they covered the sky with one hand."

The Taoist swallowed his words in a dumb way, shook his head, turned around, and walked to other places under the rain curtain.

"This kind of family comes to you from afar, and you will ask for it. You can go and chat. I will search for wild game next to you to replenish your body. After the moonlight or two, people have lost weight and need to replenish them."

Lu Liangsheng smiled and said nothing. The two had a tacit understanding for many years and would not care about anything because of a sentence or two. They just pulled Lin Beast straight to the pavilion.

The majestic beast followed the scholar gentlely, and the yellow tiger's eyes glanced at the pavilion from time to time, which made people feel heart-pounding. With Lu Liangsheng in a straw raincoat and hat, walking on the lead-green rain curtain, like an ancient ink painting full of mystery.

“Gu….”

In the pavilion, a group of guards swallowed their saliva, stared at the man and beast getting closer and closer, and sweated when they held the hilt of the knife. When Yang Su waved his hand to let them go, he could almost hear a series of relieved exhalation.

"Is this person Lu Liangsheng?"

Yang Jian's shock at first seeing the Lin Beast gradually calmed down. The most powerful minister in the court had his own heroism and courage, and waved his hand to retreat outside the pavilion.

"A true god, please welcome him!"

Shaking his wide sleeves, he walked out of the pavilion first, and bowed to the man and beast walking in the rain.

"Yang Jian of Chang'an, I have met Mr. Lu!"

Next to him, Yang Su was shocked when he looked at the beast that was higher than the head of a man and Lu Liangsheng who had not seen him for half a month.

....Damn, how long has it been? It's the golden elixir.

Thoughts flashed through, and when the clan brother bowed, he bowed and bowed to one side: "Su has seen fellow Daoist Lu."

Lu Liangsheng loosened the reins and bowed to the opposite side of the two, then spread his hands and stretched out his head towards the pavilion.

"The two of you come over from afar, go into the pavilion together and sit down and talk."

Yang Jian had already learned a little from his clan's brothers on the way to come. When he saw this, he felt that the emperor of Nanchen had thanked the eight generations of ancestors in his heart.

‘Haha… I don’t need to have auspicious beasts around me, with profound Taoism and well-read classics. God must have left me with Yang Jian to achieve the imperial career!’

I thought to myself that my hands were not slow, so I made a 'please' gesture.

Lu Liangsheng nodded and patted Lin Biao's mouth.

"Let's play nearby."

Huh~~

The squirting thick air from the nose of the beast, and the psychic slapped the dragon head, which surprised the Yang Jian and his brothers again. After all, no one had seen the legendary auspicious beast. Several guards next to the beast outside the pavilion were hit on their faces by the rain stains shook open from the lion's mane, and they also endured the movement and did not dare to move.

....But will the rain shaking from such auspicious beast bring blessings? The guards' eyes moved, and their upper bodies quietly looked forward a little more.

The lin beast walked around the rain with its hooves. In the pavilion, the three of them sat down. Yang Su was reluctant to withdraw her gaze from the lin beast walking outside.

He raised his hand to Lu Liangsheng, who was taking off his hat and said first:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you still remember the appointment between you and me half a month ago?"

"Of course I remember."

Lu Liangsheng's words were plain, and his eyes fell on Yang Jian's face opposite his vision, "What do you want to ask?"

All around him are trustworthy people, so Yang Jian naturally does not beat around the bush, but he also needs to organize his words and say some things, for fear of being abrupt and master in front of him.

Tap your fingertips, think for a moment, and then your eyes rise.

"Mr. Lu doesn't know that he is the prime minister of the Left Northern Zhou Dynasty. He seems to be very powerful and walks on thin ice. The former emperor Yuwen Yun (Yun) is not only suspicious, but also often only asks about the government affairs. The criminal affairs are harsh, and people's hearts are collapsed and they do not submit to him. Now the young emperor is in power, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty is shaky, and all the vassal kings are ready to move... I want to ask Mr. Lu, the world will be peaceful again."

Lu Liangsheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Yang Jian's face motionless.

Yang Su, who was standing aside, added: "Fellow Daoist Lu, my brother is lenient in his governance, streamlines and strict laws, and practices frugality."

"You can see it."

The technique of observing the air and looking at each other will not see the past and future. It’s just that one person’s fortune will be seen from the future. Lu Liangsheng pressed his hands on his knees, and his words seemed to have no ups and downs.

"... If the king is not kind, someone will replace him. He will redeem benevolent policies to the people. The way of heaven has never been omitted. Although the Northern Zhou emperor has never seen it before, I have seen the people living and working in peace and contentment throughout the journey, which shows that the prime minister has significant abilities."

Everyone loves to hear the words of praise, but Yang Jian didn't hear the sentence he wanted to hear. He pursed his lips tightly, leaned forward slightly, and paused word by word.

"Mr. Lu, can I go further?"

The sound of rain fell down the heaven and earth, the eaves of the pavilion weaved a water curtain, and the pavilion was silent for a while.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Liangsheng didn't nod and shook his head, and spoke out bluntly to give a reply.

"The prime minister has the aura of an emperor."

Yang Su immediately clenched his fists and trembled slightly excitedly. When he looked at the clan brother who was indifferent to his expression but couldn't help but smile, Lu Liangsheng stood up and walked to the pavilion. Looking at the rainy curtain of lead, his heart moved. Thinking of the boy he met in the suburbs of Chang'an that day, he also had a faint sense of imperial dragon energy.

‘Can that young man become the emperor in the future? If he told the prime minister, he would probably kill the young man and even cause his tribe to die together. If he didn’t tell him, it might be another chaos in the future, and many people would die for it.’

But then I thought about it, this was also caused by the way of heaven. If he told the story of the young man, would it be considered to be leaking the secret of heaven? He was punished by heaven?

After all, the heavenly punishment and the tribulation are different.

It is very likely that it will affect one's own luck and become bumpy in practice.

‘Forget it, this is their royal family’s business. What do I do if I am an outsider thinks so much about it.’

Turning around, Lu Liangsheng bowed to Yang Jian over there, and Yang Su said, "Since we have finished the appointment, let's leave first."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, wait!"

Yang Su quickly got up and spoke, her eyes kept winking at the clan brother next to her.

The latter nodded and understood and stood up.

"Mr. Lu, step a little slower and have something to say."

Lu Liangsheng, who walked outside the pavilion, stopped. The falling rain line slid over his head, fell to his feet, looked at Yang Jian, and shook his head.

"I know what the Prime Minister wants to say, but I feel ashamed."

With a move, the hat that fell into the pavilion flew over, put it on top of his head, turned around and took two more steps, and Yang Jian behind him chased him out in the rain.

"Mr. Lu! Are you reading classics and taking care of the hearts of the people? Just abandon them like this?"

In front of the rain, the figure in the rain trembled slightly.

Yang Jian took a breath, wiped away the water stains on his face, and his voice was clear and he continued.

"In Chang'an, Jian and Mr. Lu missed once, thinking that they regretted that they have seen each other now. How could I let you go as easily as the foolish emperor of Nanchen?"

He paused and said, "Sir, I can't stop you from leaving, but the people of the world missed a wise man. Since the gentleman said that I can achieve the imperial career, then you might as well consider it."

Speaking of this, Yang Jian raised his hand and bowed in the rain.

"Carrely won't let Sir down!"

In the heavy rain, the guards looked at the motionless figure in the rain curtain in front of him, but they didn't know that Lu Liangsheng was also very complicated. After a long time, he let out a breath, turned his hat slightly, turned his face to the Prime Minister behind him who was bowing down in the rain.

Go and help him up.

"I naturally trust the Prime Minister, but that road may not be easy to walk. I have something important to do to rush back to Nanchen. It is really not easy to stop anymore, so I will say goodbye!"

He bowed and bowed. The beast slowly walking in the rain seemed to know that his master was leaving, so he spread his hooves and trotted over, following behind him towards another road leading to the south river in front.

"well….."

Yang Jian looked at the man and beast gradually moving away in the rain, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed.

"A man among the gods is far away from the mortal world."

"Brother, this may not be the case."

Yang Su walked up and heard the conversation between Lu Liangsheng and his clan brother, especially the last sentence, and probably guessed some of the matter in his heart. For some time, he had inquired about Nan Chen from many sources, and it may be proven now.

"We can see that Lu Liangsheng is a little hesitant, but he still has to leave, which may be related to his teaching teacher."

"oh?"

Yang Jian turned his head and looked: "But the famous scholar Shuhua from Southern Chen?"

"Well, I heard that I was killed by that foolish lord."

"Hahaha--"

On the side, Yang Jian laughed loudly, brushed away his wet wide sleeves, turned around and walked over to the war horse, turned over, and tied the reins, laughed and said, "It's such a great gift. How can I not respond? Go back and send orders to Emperor Nanchen to send some food, grass, gold and silver. We will return to Chang'an to achieve great things, and then..."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the blue lead: "Then, the soldiers sent Chen Chao!"

He shook the whip, turned his head around, and shouted: "Hold!" He ran wildly in the rain. Yang Su and a group of guards hurriedly followed behind, and soon disappeared into the rain curtain.

...

The water vapor is everywhere in the world, and the narrow and long and muddy country roads are as dark as the wild beasts are shallow and deep as the mud. The toad Taoist lies on his disciple's shoulders, hiding under his hat, feeling the wet and coldness brought by this world.

At this time, he had already woken up and listened to all the conversations in the pavilion.
To be continued...
