As if he understood Lu Sheng's thoughts, the sky cleared on the second day, the clouds broke through the sky, and the sun was shining, but the sun dried out in the mud on the first day, and the caravan sent people around to send letters to inform the companions that they would leave early the next morning.

Sun Zhao learned the news and came to see him off, and told Lu Sheng the news of the Huang Mansion. Huang Qi was confined to his home, so he had to ask Sun Zhao to do it for him and sent a hand-copied piano score.

Lu Sheng saw that the paper and ink of this piano score were still fresh, but he was afraid that Huang Qi had copied it by himself, he knew that this piano score was precious, and after solemnly thanking him, he accepted it, and handed it over to Ruoxia for safekeeping, and then asked about the news of Huangfu. That old lady Huang is now seriously ill and bedridden, but she is afraid that time is running out, but fortunately, the strange situation in the house has been swept away, and everyone's heart has gone to a big stone, but it is rare to relax. Huang Qi's move can be regarded as half of the pros and cons.

Sun Zhao took a sip of lukewarm ginseng tea, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Lu Sima...... No, now it's going to be called Lu Gongcao, I don't know, Lord Huang and Mrs. Huang had a quarrel yesterday. ”

Lu Sheng felt slightly embarrassed when he heard him mention other people's boudoir secrets, but Sun Zhao was still enthusiastic and continued: "It turns out that when the concubine called Qingtao followed Old Lady Huang to take office, she was already pregnant, and when the old lady was killed, she narrowly escaped, and nine times out of ten, she gave birth to the child. Mrs. Huang is kind-hearted, she doesn't know, but now that she knows, she naturally can't bear the blood of the Huang family to flow outside, and wants to send someone to find someone, but she was scolded by Lord Huang and stopped her. ”

Xie Ying was originally sitting on the side reading an idle book, but when she heard about this section, she closed the book and said, "Lord Huang is an understanding person. ”

Lu Sheng glanced at him, but he still couldn't hold it back, and sighed: "That green peach...... It's also pitiful, if you really leave an heir, after all, it is also a blood relative of the Huang family, why not find it? ”

Xie Ying sneered: "Whether she is forced to be helpless, or willingly, since she chose that man, what she planted and what she reaped, but she was to blame, how can she be called pitiful?" It is better if the child is not born and is reduced to the world, and it is only in vain that he suffers. ”

Lu Sheng couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard him say indifferent and mean, but there were outsiders present, so it was inconvenient to attack, but his face was a little ugly after all.

Sun Zhao didn't know how to observe words and looks, and he also laughed and said: "Lu Gongcao's beautiful and beautiful characters, those pickled private affairs in the back house, I am only afraid that Gongcao's ears will be polluted when I say it, so don't mention it." Mr. Xie is very reasonable, and I will ...... another day Try to remind Huang Qi. ”

Lu Sheng saw that even Sun Zhao was standing on Xie Ying's side, his heart became more and more confused and shaken, and he felt even more excited, but fortunately, Sun Zhao was not in good health, and he was about to say goodbye after sitting down for a while, Lu Sheng also stood up and said, "I'll send you." ”

He walked out without waiting for Xie Ying to speak, Sun Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly left when he saw that the situation was not good, leaving Xie Ying in the room, frowning slightly, but he did not say anything to stop him.

Lu Sheng took the horse, and after following Sun Zhao's carriage through the bustling street where the inn was located, he took his leave and turned to the opposite road of Sun Zhao's home.

It is close to dusk, the city of Yizhou is full of people coming and going, full of hawkers along the street, bargaining residents, the autumn tiger is still there, the sunset is faint but the west mountain is still full of heat.

Lu Sheng actually didn't know where to go, and he rejected Xie Ying too cold-blooded in his heart, so he simply let the reins of the horse go and walked blindly forward. His acquaintance with Xie Ying is too different, and he realizes that the difference in their identities is like a chasm. Mo said that as a man, Long Yang's broken sleeves are intolerable to the world, even if he is a daughter's family, he has no chance to marry the eldest son of the Weinan Hou family.

When they were far away in the Western Regions, the two of them had a strong relationship, and everything next to them was irrelevant, but now they are about to return to their hometown to see their brothers and sisters-in-law, and the trivial things that don't matter have become the moat in Henghuan's heart. What's more, the two have different concepts, if there is a difference in the future, one insists on killing, and the other insists on saving, what should Lu Sheng do?

After thinking about it, Lu Sheng finally laughed at himself and secretly thought, it was just a mediocre person who disturbed himself, why not go back to the inn to find Xie Ying and ask him clearly, even if he was preached and convinced.

Lu Sheng had a certain idea, and when the dark clouds dispersed in his heart, he raised his head and was about to pull the reins, but suddenly heard a sound in the alley on the left in front of him, he became suspicious, and rode his horse forward a few steps, and the scene in the narrow alleyway where less than three people were side by side clearly fell into his eyes.

The alley had been deserted for a long time, the weeds in the crevices of the stones were knee-high, and there was no one around, but at this time there were seven or eight young men dressed as merchants, each carrying sticks, knives and guns, and surrounded a little girl in the middle. The little girl was dressed in a silver-white narrow-sleeved hunting suit, wearing a leather wrist guard, waist pad, and knee pad painted red, about thirteen or fourteen years old, her hair was combed into two round buns, decorated with pink silk flowers, and she looked very delicate and cute.

Seeing that the bandits raised their weapons and were about to greet the little girl, Lu Sheng hurriedly kicked the horse's belly and rushed into the alley, shouting: "Stop! ”

The shouts were loud and the horse's hooves were hurried, and the Yu Lin Lang rushed to kill like a god descending, and the people were so frightened that they dodged, and two or three of them were in a hurry, and their feet were unstable, and they collided with each other and fell, and they screamed.

Lu Sheng was passing in front of the little girl, tugging at the reins slightly, stretching out his hand to her, and shouting, "Come up." ”

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately reached out to grab Lu Sheng, and as soon as Lu Sheng mentioned it, she lifted her small and light body in front of her, and sat on the back of the horse, Lu Sheng said: "A group of villains!" Bullying the weak in broad daylight, I will spare you this time! ”

Then the two rode away.

The group of "bandits" dressed as merchants got up in shock, and a man turned his head to look at the young man who looked like the leader, and said in a daze: "Sir, it is clear that we are the weak who are being bullied, why did the military master save the villain?" ”

The young leader waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "That's it, the evil gods are gone, let's go quickly." ”

The group was so frightened that they fled in a hurry, and left the city that night before the gates were locked.

Lu Sheng naturally didn't know this, and asked the girl all the way away: "What is the surname, where does the family live, and why do you go out alone?" I'll send you back. ”

The girl hung her head, her voice was extremely slender, and she said in a low voice: "I, the slave family's surname is Hou, the single name is a Yan character, and the family lives in ...... South of the city, slave family...... Not going back. ”

Lu Sheng only lost his temper as the eldest lady of a rich and noble family, and while riding his horse to the south of the city, he persuaded softly: "You little girl, it is too dangerous to be alone, if you hadn't met me before, I am afraid that I will be kidnapped by that gang of gangsters, and I will never see my family again." If there is a dispute in the family, it needs to be discussed as a good student, how can you run away from home at every turn? ”

Lu Sheng blurted out, and suddenly his heart touched, didn't he just run away from home without saying a word, leaving Xie Ying aside?

The little girl showed a disapproving look, and then secretly rubbed her eyes, a pair of eyes as bright as stars suddenly turned red, she opened a pair of red eyes that were about to cry, looked up at Lu Sheng, and said sadly: "My mother died early, Daddy...... forced me to marry, and the man died with two wives, older than my father, and very fierce, and I said that I would not marry, and my father scolded me. ”

Lu Sheng looked at the little girl and asked softly, "How old are you?" ”

Hou Yan sniffed and said in a heavy crying voice: "Sixteen will be thirteen years old next month...... This big brother, please let me go, don't force me or the slave family to go back to the fire pit. ”

Before she was too old, she was forced by her father to marry, or to continue the string, no wonder this girl would rather escape from the house alone and encounter many dangers.

Lu Sheng's heart softened, he sighed in a low voice, pulled the reins again, turned around, and returned to the way he came.

A hint of trium flashed in the little girl's eyes, but when she looked at Lu Sheng, her eyes were only full of gratitude, and tears flowed down her smooth and fair face. Although she is immature now, her face is a little green, if she is a few years older, she will definitely become a beautiful woman in the future.

It is no wonder that those gangsters saw the lust and did not hesitate to rob people in Yizhou City.

When Lu Sheng thought about it, he had returned to the inn with the girl, and he had to take her into the door, and instructed Xiao Er: "Open another guest room." ”

Xiao Er responded, and Hou Yan timidly tugged at Lu Sheng's sleeve, "Slave family...... One is afraid. ”

Lu Sheng thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "That's it, it's not as good as Ruoxia squeezing." ”

Everyone was going to leave the next day, and they couldn't just leave Yizhou with that girl, Lu Sheng couldn't find a good idea, so he had to take the girl upstairs to see Xie Ying.

Hou Yan arrived at the door but refused to enter, Lu Sheng stood behind her, but blocked her escape route, Lu Sheng didn't know it, but still comforted and persuaded: "Don't worry, this son looks vicious, but he is actually a good person, it's me...... Make friends. ”

Hou Yan said: "I, the slave family, and the slave family have a strict family style, and I can't see the ...... of foreign men casually."

Lu Sheng took her back on a horse, and he didn't see her restrained along the way, but now he suddenly found an excuse to make him suspicious.

At this time, Ruoxia opened the door and said with a smile: "Baoyang Gongzi is back, this is ......"

Lu Sheng felt a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and entered the guest room with Hou Yan one after the other, Xie Ying turned his back to everyone, not knowing what he was writing.

After Lu Sheng told him about the causes and consequences of meeting Hou Yan, he sighed again: "Ah Ying, let's not mention the previous things for the time being, this girl has not yet reached the end of time, since she has met, I can't watch her marry an old man." ”

Xie Ying put down the pen, swept away with a cold expression, and sneered: "You foolish worm with no eyes, you picked it up at will without even recognizing it, and if you are deceived by someone another day, you will also be to blame." ”

Lu Sheng was slightly stunned, looked down at the little girl, Hou Yan blinked, twisted the tip of the leather whip wrapped around her waist with both hands, and let him look at it with an innocent face, Lu Sheng looked left and right, and finally looked at Xie Ying, and muttered: "I...... Where, did not recognize? ”

Xie Ying sneered: "There is no distinction between male and female, are you reasonable?" ”

Lu Sheng was shocked and stared at the little girl in disbelief, the corners of the girl's mouth twitched, and finally burst out laughing, sticking out her tongue with a playful face, "This big brother has good eyesight, so you can see it." ”

Lu Sheng only felt that the sky was spinning, took two steps back, and pointed at the girl-the kid, his fingers trembled slightly, and his lips opened and closed a few times before he finally said hoarsely: "You, you, you-"

The kid coughed softly, hugged his fists and said: "Under the surname Hou, the single name is a Yan character, which is the so-called son of the other Qi, the Yan character in the Bang Zhi Yanxi." It is General Hou of Yizhou...... The fourth son. ”
