Chapter 228: A Little Try
Xue Niangzi stared at the voice, it seemed that there were seven or eight people, and she hesitated for a while: "They have few people, and I have many people, if it is...... But my mother's side has not issued an order, and I think she is still negotiating with the Donghu people. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf I attack rashly, I'm afraid that my father and others will also be exposed, but... If I don't strike...... I'm afraid of losing the opportunity. ”
She glanced around slightly while her mind was racing, and saw that everyone nearby was looking at her, and she was about to do it as soon as she gave the order. Xue Niangzi pursed her lips, and the hand on the sword clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched. Zhong Min glanced at her, then looked at Zuo Yang, who grinned and pointed at Xue Niangzi silently.
Zhong Min hadn't fought for many years, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious. Xue Niangzi hesitated and caught a glimpse of her expression, and hurriedly frowned and waved her hand. Zhong Min had to retract patiently, but in his heart, he compared Mrs. Xue with Mrs. Xue again: "I don't have the sharpness of my mother." ”
Just as he was thinking about it, there was the sound of weapons not far away, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy wearing a cyan arrow sleeve complained while chopping the branches in front of him: "Mohai, you have a good idea, you have to worship the god of war." Grass, I've been wandering around here all night, and I can't get out. ”
The man called Mohai whispered: "Chengping, obviously you want to see the old traces of the Luzhe God of War ambushing the wooden bone man, and you refuse to go out here. ”
Xue Niangzi's hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground: "Listening to the voice, it looks like Chengping in the second room of the Lan family." He is the most powerful young general of the next generation of the Lan family, much stronger than Lan Yanzhen's little hairy child. ”
The young man known as Chengping was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a cuckoo cry not far away, and his heart jumped, and he secretly thought: "That crow was so strange just now, why did a cuckoo suddenly appear on the ground." Just as he was about to go over to check, he suddenly heard a woman's soft shout: "Lan Chengping, this way." ”
Where did Lan Chengping think that he could meet an acquaintance in the mountains and wilderness so far away from home, listening to the voice, he was still a woman, and he almost tripped over the roots of a tree under his feet. Xue Niangzi couldn't help but smile, poked her head out and beckoned to him, "Here, stop cutting those trees." ”
Lan Chengping turned his head and saw Xue Niangzi couldn't help but be stunned, and the two of them asked in unison, "Why are you here?"
Xue Niangzi pulled Lan Chengping and squatted down and asked in a low voice, "You are not in Yecheng, why did you come here?"
Lan Chengping has always been shrewd and calm, but today's events are too strange, so that the young hero also stammered rarely: "I came here to worship the god of war Lu Zhe, that's it...... More than a thousand years ago, Lu Zhe ambushed the barbarian leader here. ”
Xue Niangzi smiled and said, "Mu Gu?"
Lan Chengping was stunned: "You also know?"
Xue Niangzi secretly thought: "This is not a rare thing, it is written in the book, and I am not illiterate?" She didn't want to argue with him, glanced at the sergeant behind him, and said softly: "You all squat down first, don't stick there, it's too eye-catching." ”
Lan Chengping came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhong Min saw that they asked and answered, and Xue Niangzi also dealt with it properly, and was relieved, and saw that Xue Niangzi was stunned and thought for a long time, as if she had forgotten what she was doing here. Thanks to Lan Chengping's steady temperament, after waiting for a long time, Zhong Min thought that Xue Niangzi would not answer, only to hear Xue Niangzi say slowly: "Oh, my mother asked me to set up an ambush here." ”
Lan Chengping looked at Zuo Yang and Zhong Min, and sure enough...... It was an ambush: "Just the three of you?" Who are you going to fight with?" He was still thinking about the fact that the god of war was completely annihilated here: "Could it be that he ambushed me?"
Xue Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: "Lan Chengping is both civil and military, my father often says that the young people of the Lan family count him well, I heard that in the past two years, he has also started to fight with Lan Erbo, but it is better than my paper talk." Thinking like this, he hurriedly said: "Don't ask first, where do you think your few people are appropriate?"
Lan Chengping hurriedly settled down and ordered five or six places, not wanting that three of them had been occupied by Xue Niangzi's people. Lan Chengping was secretly surprised: "General Xue really lives up to his reputation, and the candidates for his subordinates are very old-fashioned, and they are so hidden. We were so close that we didn't show any traces, no wonder Dad said I needed to hone in my temper. ”
Seeing that he had settled the person, Xue Niangzi asked in a low voice, "Why did your mother let you out?" I heard Jin'er say that you were grounded a few days ago?"
Lan Chengping had already woken up from the trance of sacrificing to the gods at this time: "Why did your mother let you out to set up an ambush?
Xue Niangzi saw that he didn't answer his question, so she returned to the old monk's sitting appearance, although Lan Chengping had met her several times, he had never interacted with her, and he only heard the sisters in the family say that she was a very kind person. Looking at it now, she is a kind person, but it doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.
Zuo Yang smiled slightly: "Young Master Lan." ”
Lan Chengping hadn't seen Zuo Yang, so he hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Haven't asked for advice yet?"
Zuo Yang said in a low voice: "The surname is Zuo, and the single name is a yang character." This is the grandmother of the old capital Liang steward. ”
Lan Chengping was shocked and thought to himself: "Zuoyang has been rampant in Western Xinjiang for ten years, and the people of Western Xinjiang trembled with fear when they heard his name, how could he actually follow the little lady of the Xue family." ”
Turning his head to look at Zhong Min again, he saw that she was wearing a gray arrow sleeve like Xue Niangzi, she looked very rich, and she looked like she was in charge of things, so she must have come to serve Xue Niangzi. While giving a salute, he secretly thought in his heart: "I haven't heard of this one, alas, it's really a delicate little lady, and she has to take her with her when she comes out to fight." ”
Xue Niangzi sat cross-legged on the ground, squinting at Lan Chengping's guards, and was secretly anxious: "If someone approaches after a while, wouldn't you see at a glance that there is a person hidden there, should I tell him?" ”
Lan Chengping sighed and turned his head to look at Xue Niangzi, and saw that she looked like she was in trouble: "General Xue is really, just have a few more sons, a big northwest, which girl is like your family." On weekdays, the housekeeper is also reasonable, but now this half-baked ability actually dares to come out to ambush. ”
He was just thinking about it when a firework burst out from the valley mouth opposite. Xue Niangzi suddenly became nervous, turned her head to look at Zuo Yang and Lan Chengping, Zuo Yang smiled slightly and signaled Xue Niangzi not to be afraid, and learned two more crows to cheer up the brothers.
Xue Niangzi leaned over and asked in a low voice, "When will they be able to come over?" ”
Lan Chengping frowned and said, "How many people are there? How far are they from here? How many people is General Xue? If it is about the same, half an hour is enough." ”
Zuo Yang nodded and said, "What Lan Gongzi said is that we have slightly more than them. ”
Although Lan Chengping was confused, he had fought with real knives and guns, and ordered his people in a deep voice: "Listen to my orders for a while." After that, he dusted off his sleeves and coughed again, and then comforted Xue Niangzi seriously: "Sister Xue, don't be afraid, just let you and Grandma Liang follow me and Zuoyang later." ”
Xue Niangzi shook the sword in her hand, nodded and said, "Okay, I can do it too." ”
Lan Chengping saw that although her face was calm and composed, a trace of cowardice flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, and hurriedly pulled her arm, and was about to persuade her to wait here, when she suddenly saw another firework rising at the valley mouth opposite.
Xue Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and looked in the direction of the fireworks dispersing suspiciously, she was inevitably a little overwhelmed when she first experienced the war, and was hesitating when an arrow was shot on the north and south slopes.
Zuo Yang asked in a low voice, "Big lady?"
Xue Niangzi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, and Zuo Yang also set off a firework.
Although Lan Chengping didn't know what was going on, he could guess a few points when he looked at the two arrows: "General Xue led people to ambush on both sides, she must be here to block the remnants of the army, it's not a difficult thing, it's just... Why don't you fight again? Thinking like this, I couldn't help but go to see Xue Niangzi again, but I was also confused when I saw her.
Xue Niangzi motioned to Zuo Yang to call everyone out: "It seems that everything is going well on my mother's side, let's go out and meet them." ”
Lan Chengping saw that she was leaving, and hurriedly told Mo Hai: "You pick two people to get our mounts back, and I will go to General Xue with Xue Niangzi first." Saying that, he followed Xue Niangzi and Zuo Yang and others to run out of the valley, and Lan Chengping didn't care which of the Xue family's guards' horses, followed by Xue Niangzi and also pulled a horse to chase after him.
After running for a quarter of an hour, I saw Xue Niangzi stop and shoot a ringing arrow herself. After shooting a few times, Lan Chengping couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Zuo Yang, why does she keep shooting arrows." Zuo Yang thought for a while: "Oh, I used to hear my wife say that the eldest lady is very filial. ”
Lan Chengping frowned: "How do you say it?"
Zuo Yang smiled: "Presumably she is reporting the safety of her father." ”
As he spoke, he saw a group of men and horses rushing towards him, and the one running at the front was indeed General Xue in black armor. General Xue saw Xue Niangzi from a distance, so he pulled the reins with a calm face.
Mrs. Xue behind him didn't stop, and ran until she was in front of Xue Niangzi before she gathered the silk reins, put one hand on the saddle, hugged her shoulder with the other, looked up and down before whispering: "It's a shame that you're fine, your father will eat me soon." ”
Before the words fell, I heard General Xue shouting angrily from behind: "You still have the face to say! How old is she, you dare to let her take risks." ”
Mrs. Xue knew that she was wrong, and it was rare that she had no excuse, so she just glanced at her daughter and hung her head silently. It was also the first time in her life that Mrs. Xue saw her father so angry, and she followed Mrs. Xue closely for a while, not daring to answer.
When the guards saw this, they all stopped at a distance and stopped coming forward.
Mrs. Xue rode over cautiously, General Xue glanced at her, and saw that she was indeed fine, so he waved his horsewhip and yelled at Mrs. Xue: "She is a little lady, only in her early tens, you let her cut people, are you her own mother." Tell me for yourself, if you can find half of the women like you in this world, I will follow your surname Xia. ”
General Xue's voice was like a bell, and he roared very hard, but Mrs. Xue lowered her eyebrows and didn't reply. General Xue's temper in his stomach was nowhere to be sprinkled, and he suddenly turned his head to Xue Niangzi and scolded: "Your mother is unreliable, you don't stop her, you actually follow her to mess around." ”
