When the two exchanged a few words, the servants filed in and brought the dishes.This dish is a kind of soup, the color is emerald green, and it is served in a pure white porcelain bowl, which looks extremely refreshing.If you look closely, you can see that the leaves of the green and green vegetables in the soup are stretched or curled up, which is really beautiful; when you smell it, you can feel a strange fragrance coming from your nostrils.Wen Qiao, Xu Run and others here are all well-educated people, but they couldn't recognize the origin of this dish for a while.

Everyone speculated, but Lu Yao went straight to pick up the soup in front of him, his hands trembling a little.

Waves of turbulent waves of emotions suddenly rose up and surged violently in his chest.This feeling made Lu Yao dizzy. He frantically searched through all his memories of this era, tracing the turbulent past of Lu Yao, the leader of the Bingzhou Army for more than 20 years, trying to find the source of this intense emotion.

I found it... I found it... It turned out to be like this... The thing in front of me is clearly Jiangdong's unique water shield soup.Such a light and neutral aroma is obviously from the pheasant-tailed water shield, a specialty of Yangzhou, which is the only one in the world, and there is no semicolon.Although I have been away from my hometown for [-] years, how can I forget the atmosphere of this hometown?Even though Lu Yao was always calm, he couldn't help showing a little excited look on his face at this time.

"In the past, when Lu Shiheng met Wang Wuzi, Wang Wuzi showed Lu Shiheng with mutton cheese and said: Why is Qing Dongwu against this? Lu Shiheng said to him: "Thousands of miles of water shield soup, without salt and soy sauce." In Lu Shiheng's view, the delicious water shield soup does not need to be eaten. Soy sauce is enough to compete with goat cheese." Liu Kun's leisurely voice sounded, he pointed at the soup and winked at Lu Yao, and then said to the crowd: "Dao Ming must know this allusion, right? This water shield soup is a special product in Jiangdong. Digesting and relieving greasy; if you are full, this soup is the most suitable. You are welcome, gentlemen, please taste it."

This remark startled Lu Yao, but Liu Kun looked at Lu Yao with a smile, his expression was normal.He raised the wine glass in his hand as a signal, and Lu Yao raised his glass in return somewhat mechanically. In an instant, the dusty and faded memories flooded into his heart.

That was more than ten years ago.At that time, Lord Shiheng and Lord Shilong wandered among wealthy families in Luoyang, but their official careers were not satisfactory.On this day, Ergong entrusted Shi Chong's relationship to visit Wang Jiwang Wuzi, a senior member of the dynasty.

Wang Wuzi's villa is located in the southwestern outskirts of Luoyang City, close to the bank of Luoshui River. The garden circles for more than ten miles, with mountains, forests and clear waters intertwining each other. .At that time, the villa was full of guests: first was Zhang Hua, the elder of the court, followed by Jia Mi, who lived in the official secretary prison, and Pan Yue, Pan Anren, who was known for his literary talent and handsomeness, and Lu Zhi, who was born in a noble family of Fan Yang, etc.; Liu Yu, who served as the Minister of Zhongshu, and his younger brother Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi were present.

Hearing Jiangdong Erlu's visit, Wang Wuzi ordered to come in.At that time, Lu Yao had not yet taken Yuanfu, and Lu Wei and Lu Xia, the second son of Mr. Lu Shiheng, followed behind the elder, walking in step by step.

The high-ranking Wang Wuzi obviously had drunk too much. He pointed to the sheep cheese in front of him drunkenly and asked Shi Heng: "What can you compare with this good thing in the barren land of Dongwu?"

This was really rude, but Lord Shi Heng replied with a smile: "Just take the water shield produced in Qianli Lake to make soup, even if you don't add salt and soy sauce, it is enough for comparison."

Before Wang Wuzi could answer, Lu Zhi beside him hiccupped and looked sideways at Lord Shi Heng: "I heard that there are people named Lu Xun and Lu Kang in Soochow, what does it have to do with you brothers?" What a disrespectful act, the whole hall fell silent immediately.

Mr. Shi Heng's face darkened: "The relationship is just like your Excellency's with Lu Yu and Lu Ting!" As soon as he said this, Lu Zhi covered his face and retreated in shame.

Lu Zhifang retreated, and another person stood up.This man with a wide robe and a broad belt, with a face like a powder, looking like a fairy, is Pan Yue, the servant of the Sanqi: "When the end of the Han Dynasty was in chaos, Sun Ce went to the south of the Yangtze River and massacred the local powerful clan. The Lu clan, from the patriarch Lu Kang down, Hundreds of people were killed. However, Lu Xun, Lu Kang and others did not think about revenge, but instead devoted themselves to obeying the order of Sun Wu. The elder brothers Lu Mian and Lu Jing fought against the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court and died. Many of the Jiangdong Lu clan recognized the thief as their father and stubbornly resisted. What kind of face do you have to come to Luoyang to seek an official?"

Lord Shi Heng stepped forward boldly and talked eloquently: "There is a proverb among the people in Jiangdong: Lu Zhong Gu Hou Zhang Wen Zhu Wu. My Lu family has been a loyal heir for generations. Since I am loyal to a surname, I must devote myself to death. Therefore, it can support the Sun family to expand the land in the Southern Xia and compete with the world. But your Excellency Pan, who ordered his grandfather Anping prefect, I don’t know which dynasty or surname bestowed it on him? Your father’s internal history of Langya, I don’t know which dynasty or surname it was. Officials bestowed? The demise of the Han and Wei dynasties was due to God’s will, but it was also conspired by others. And the Pan family in Xingyang enjoys high officials and rich salary. When the dynasty changes, is there any loyal one? Is there a death festival? What kind of face does Your Excellency have in loitering in Luoyang for a person who has moved away and protected his family?"

When these words came out, not only Pan Yue was in a state of embarrassment, but everyone in the room looked ashamed.The Han and Wei dynasties perished one after another. Who among the princes in the huge city of Luoyang is not a subjugated citizen?Who has not flattered the new master?For a while, the hall was silent, and no one dared to answer.

It was the same day, Luoyang famous scholars debated the difficulties one after another, and Shi Heng answered them one by one, citing scriptures and classics, arguing without hindrance, and awed everyone in one fell swoop.From then on, Jiangdong Erlu became famous and shocked the government and the public. The two, Pan Yue, Lu Zhi, Liu Yu, Liu Kun and others were also famous for their literary names, and they exchanged songs for each other, so they were called "24 Friends".

On that day, Mr. Shi Heng's vertical and horizontal talents were unparalleled, and he was the shining protagonist.Later, Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi, who were so powerful in Hebei, listened in a low-key manner during the banquet, without saying a word from beginning to end; while Lu Yao, who was a junior, just stood silently behind Shi Henggong, holding his cherished jade Ruyi.

The literary grace of Luoyang City was like the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty, it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.In just a few years, the situation has turned upside down.The former influential figures disappeared in smoke, and Erlu, Zhang Hua, Jia Mi, Pan An, Shi Chong, etc. all died unexpectedly.More up-and-coming stars surged up, and then disappeared like waves breaking on the beach.Up to now, in this desolate city of Jinyang, Liu Kun and Lu Yao, the spectators who were at their prime, are sitting opposite each other.One person took advantage of the current situation and became a great official in frontiers, the pillar of the imperial court; the other person's 46 relatives all died under the butcher's knife.

Scenes from the past seemed to be replaying before his eyes suddenly, and Lu Yao seemed to be stunned for a while, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Obviously, Liu Kun has recognized his origin.

Before his death, Lord Shi Heng was the commander-in-chief of the emperor's younger brother Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops.Because of the unfavorable war, he was slandered by the eunuchs, but Sima Ying killed him, and his relatives and descendants 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.

In this way, Lu Yao should have asked Liu Kun to convey his thanks to his brother.However, due to the unjust deaths of Lord Yu Shiheng and Lord Shilong, the fear of the nobles in Luoyang from the survivors of the subjugated country in the north can be said to be irrelevant.Lu Yao didn't feel the joy of reuniting with his old friends at all, but it made him slightly fearful.

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

He suddenly understood why this mere memory produced such emotion.

This era is the era when Huang Zhong was destroyed and the kettle was thundering, it was an era when morality was lost and people were in danger.In this era, people of moral character can show off their arrogance without any scruples, court officials can openly plunder the people under their rule, and the imperial power, which occupies the highest position, is the one among the despicable people who has won the position by bullying orphans and widows. the most despicable.

In such an era, morality and law have no meaning at all, and only blood can maintain social order.For Lu Yao, the leader of the Bingzhou Army before modern people's memory awakened, the only thing he could never forget over the years was the Lu clan in Wu County.

After coming to this era, Lu Yao only took over the first twenty years of life of the ancient "Lu Yao" as a successor.He once believed that he would never be moved by the various feelings of the ancients.However, at this moment he has to admit that Lu Yao is not only a migrant worker from the future city, but also a warrior who has lost his country and family and is struggling to survive in troubled times. What "Lu Yao" carries and bears is what he carries and bears.

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