Chapter 45 Changes in People's Heart
Luo Song is not as good as Lu Qiang, let alone as good as Lu Qiang, so that he can only lie on the couch and has not become disabled. It is already a blessing in misfortune.
At first sight of Lu Qiang, this strong man could no longer suppress his emotions. Tears gushed out of his eyes and tried to sit up, but was held down by Lu Qiang.
Lu Qiang's mood was also heavy. He came to Luo Song's bedside and comforted him softly: "Recuperate yourself and follow me when you are well."
"Brothers died too unjustly..."
Before Luo Song's words were finished, he was stopped by Lu Qiang's strict eyes. He immediately understood that these words could not be said indiscriminately, but looking at Lu Qiang's appearance, he also knew what was going on.
There were originally scouts and patrols outside the 3,000 pioneer camp, but they didn't see any of them that night, which only shows one problem. Either they died or were transferred. Who was the person who was transferred?
Yang Guanghan, the leader of the camp, is Meng Chang's confidant. Even if someone transferred him, he should inform Meng Chang first!
If it is unrealistic to be killed, the Beifu scouts have always been the elite in the army, and it is not a scout to spy on the enemy outside. It is almost impossible to kill them all at the same time.
Liu Yi raised an army with 30,000 horses and won two battles and two victories. In a short period of time, he has nearly 100,000 people. Is he a military genius? Or can you spell it? The comparison and comparison will make people surrender...
and so on are all problems to be solved, but of course not now.
After understanding Lu Qiang's thoughts, the two talked for a while. Luo Song suddenly remembered another thing and said, "A few days ago, I heard that two girls came to the camp to find you, but later I didn't know."
Two girls?
Lu Qiang's heart suddenly hung up again. Isn't it Chunlan and the others? Don't they live at Xie Taishou's house? Why did you come here?
The women Lu Qiang knows in this era can count with one hand, and who else can find here if it's not Chunlan?
Thinking of this, Lu Qiang could no longer stay. He was his closest person, and he would never allow them to have any more accidents.
He turned around and strode out, jumped on the war horse and ran out of the camp.
Guangling is only more than 200 miles away from here, and it doesn't take half a day to get there. Although it was getting late, Lu Qiang couldn't wait for dawn anyway.
came to the camp gate and was meeting last week's Kui patrol camp.
"Brother Lu, where are you going?"
Zhou Kui's sentence also reminded Lu Qiang that he can't go out like this. He is now a general and needs to ask for leave when he goes out.
He hurriedly hugged his fist and said, "General Zhou, please tell the general that I'm going to Guangling, and I will return tomorrow night at the latest."
"Is there any place for my brother to help?"
Although Zhou Kui is rude, he is not stupid, and now he also has the intention to make friends with Lu Qiang. Seeing that it was getting dark, Lu Qiang left the camp at this time, which must have been a big deal.
It's good for someone to go with you, but it's completely different from going out of the camp and leading troops. If you don't make trouble, you have to lose your head.
shook his head and said, "Brother Zhou's kind brother took it. He came back to drink with Brother Zhou and said goodbye." After saying that, he went out of the camp and ran in the direction of Guangling.
It was indeed Chunlan and Dongmei who came to find Lu Qiang. It turned out that the Lu family strongly gave the Xie family a bride price, and it was of course great for a temperamental scholar like Xie Wangzu to climb into a family with a local rich family in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, Xie Wushuang refused to agree. She knew what Lu Bao was, so she directly refused.
How can Xie Wangzu easily give up when he sees the opportunity? Especially after knowing the news of the great defeat of the pioneer camp and Lu Qiang's life and death, he immediately drove Chunlan's second daughter out of his home.
It is an eternal truth that people walk cold, not to mention that he has no friendship with the same road.
Even when he thought about it, the reason why his daughter did not agree to this marriage was entirely because of Lu Qiang, so even the two girls hated it.
Fortunately, Xie Wushuang secretly gave Chunlan some of their private money, otherwise the two girls would appear on the streets again.
However, the two little girls were very stubborn. They never believed that their master was dead before they found the barracks. Unfortunately, Lu Qiang was still hiding in Lao Dao's place to practice his wounds, so they naturally couldn't find it.
The two little girls had almost blind belief in Lu Qiang. After they discussed that after the master came back, they would definitely go to Xie's house to find someone, so they could not leave Guangling.
In this way, they rented a cabin in an inn facing the street near the gate of Guangling City, and then dressed up as two teenagers waiting outside the door every day.
This is a small inn, and the business is also very ordinary. Of course, the two tormented little girl knew how to allocate the few pieces of money in their hands, and the two used the saved money to pay the rent in order to stay for a few more days and even only eat half a day.
Although I have heard the news of the victory of the Beifu Army, there is no message about the master, which makes the hearts of the two little girl sink day by day.
It turned out that they didn't see their masters. When they were wandering on the street, they still had a trace of hope. But when hope becomes a reality and reality becomes a bubble, they don't even know how long they can hold on.
Desp, the two little girl still did not give up and still held on to that glimmer of hope.
Looking at the sunset, another day has passed. The gate also closed in a rumbling sound.
Dumera still looked at Chunlan at the city gate: "Sister, let's go back! It's this hour. Even if the master can come back, I'm afraid he can't enter the city!"
Chunlan couldn't help sighing slightly. What if the master really can't come back? Where should the two of them go? She didn't even dare to think about it.
At this moment, I saw two slender figures running quickly from a distance. Looking at their appearance, they obviously wanted to go out of the city, and one of them was carrying a small package, in a hurry, as if they were going out.
The two obviously didn't expect that the gate had been closed. Standing behind the gate that had been closed, they were a little overwhelmed for a moment. Then they discussed a few words and turned to the inn.
Chunlan saw clearly that these two were Xie Wushuang's master and servants.
"Why do they appear here? And still in this dress?"
Although they hate Xie Wangzu's snobbery, Xie Wushuang really said nothing to them. Without Xie Wushuang's help, they had to go to beg for dinner again.
Chunlan pulled Dongmei and then quickly greeted her.
"Sister Xie, where are you going?"
Xie Wushuang suddenly heard someone calling him, and he couldn't help but be shocked. After a closer look, he recognized that the two dark teenagers in front of him were actually sisters Chunlan and Dongmei.
"Why are you here? Come on, get out of here first. The people my father sent to arrest me will arrive soon."
Seeing Chunlan and Dongmei again, Xie Wushuang was also a little surprised, but soon he became anxious again. The gate was closed and they couldn't get out. If they didn't hide, they would soon be arrested by the people sent by their father.
Chunlan didn't know what was going on, so she quickly pulled Xie Wushuang's master and servant to the inn where she lived and asked Dongmei to pay attention to the movement outside before asking what was going on.
Xie Wushuang smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do? My father forced me to marry and marry tomorrow. I don't want to marry, won't I escape?" By the way, why are you still here?
"We are waiting for the owner to come back"
Xie Wushuang already knew what happened on the front line. She was also very sad about Lu Qiang's experience, but she didn't expect the two little girl to be so persistent.
There are no knives and guns on the battlefield. After so many days, Lu Qiang has no news yet. Obviously, it has been auspicious. What's the point of waiting like this? It can be seen that Chunlan's face is determined, and Xie Wushuang doesn't know where to persuade him.
"Are you going there?"
Although Chunlan is young, she is very tough. She doesn't want to listen to other people's advice, so she turned the topic to Xie Wushuang.
Xie Wushuang shook his head sadly and said, "I don't know. It's okay to go there!" Anyway, I won't marry that dage."
Several girls were talking when there was a sudden chaos outside, and it seemed that a large group of people were coming this way.
Dongmei, who was originally lying at the window to watch the movement, turned around and said eagerly, "No, this place has been surrounded, and it seems that there are still many officials."
Xie Wushuang's little face turned pale in an instant. She knew that she must have been targeted for a long time, otherwise the person who arrested her could not come to her so soon.
Several girls are not old. Although Chunlan and Dongmei have wandered the streets, they are all thrilling, and once they really encounter something, they immediately panic.
Just as he didn't know what to do, the door was kicked open and then rushed into a group of officials and strong men.
Xie Wushuang recognized that those strong men were all family members. If they were there, I guess their father would not be too far away.
Sure enough, after a cold hum, Xie Wangzu walked in with a gloomy old face. When he saw that there were four people in the room, he couldn't help but recognize that the two extra were the two girles who were driven away by him.
When he saw them with his daughter, Xie Wangzu was even more angry. Needless to ask, they must have made his daughter escape from marriage.
Lu Qiang's big official position has not been paid attention to by him, not to mention that he is no longer there, so what other scruples are there? The anger suddenly had a place to vent.
"Come on, arrest these two little witches and put them in prison"
Hearing Xie Wangzu's order, several officials immediately came over and couldn't help but hold down Chunlan and Dongmei's two daughters like arresting prisoners.
Two fourteen or five-year-old girls have the strength to break free?
Chunlan knows the truth of not suffering immediate losses, but Dongmei's character is extremely strong.
He scolded Xie Wangzu: "Dog officer, my owner will not let you go when he comes back..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Wangzu slapped him heavily on his face. A trace of blood slipped from Dongmei's mouth, and half of his face suddenly turned red and swollen.
"I don't know how to repent when I die. Since I want to see your master so much, I will complete you. Come and pull them out and find a place to bury them."
It's easier for a city to kill two little beggars than to pinch an ant.
Seeing the family and officials dragging out Chunlan's second daughter, Xie Wushuang was really anxious and hurriedly knelt down on his knees. Pleading: "Father, let them go. This has nothing to do with them. It's the daughter who is going to escape. Please."
Xie Wangzu actually understood that this had nothing to do with the two girls, but he couldn't suppress his anger.
He snorted coldly: "It's easy for me to forgive them. You must promise to marry into the Lu family."
"This..."
Xie Wushuang was stunned. Thinking that he would face Lu Bao's ugly face every day in the future, Xie Wushuang had a dead heart, but if he didn't agree, wouldn't he have killed the lives of the two little sisters in vain?
For a while, Xie Wushuang was soft-hearted.
"Miss Xie, don't worry about us, you can't marry that scum..."
"Hmm! Pull out"
No one dares to abuse him face to face. The more Xie Wangzu looks at these two girls, the more unpleasant he becomes.
"Father, I... I promise"
These words seemed to be as heavy as a daughter. After saying that, Xie Wushuang fainted to the ground.
