56.Chapter 56
In the team that set off to the Western Regions Protectorate together, there were 20 monks and soldiers of the Najieluo Sect, 10 novices, 200 sergeants of the Liaoxi Battalion of the Zhenxi Army, and a total of 221 people who were connected to the young sect master Riguang, and they were ready to go in the post house. Lu Sheng first met with the commander of the left cavalry general Wang Meng, the officer was about his early forties, with a broad beard and a short figure, like a low stone pier, strong and round, and when Lu Sheng met him, he said with a cold face: "I don't care who your disciple is, since you have entered my Liaoxi camp, you should abide by the military regulations in my camp, if there is a violation, the military stick in the camp is not a decoration." ”
As soon as they met, he was given a wry smile, Lu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was respectful.
When he came out of the wing, he saw several familiar faces coming up, and the first was Ji Chong's baby face of the immature young man, smiling and hugging his fists: "See Lu Sima." Behind him, Bai Lixiao and the other two also hugged their fists and said, "See Lu Sima." "One of them is Yan Xiu, the guard on Xie Ying's mansion, and the other is also the Yulin Army of the 12th North Battalion, named Yang Xiong, this person is silent and has always been obscure to everyone, but now he is silent, so he followed a group of colleagues to join the Liaoxi Battalion, and even Lu Sheng was unexpected. It's no wonder that Wang Lang will be dissatisfied, these Yu Lin Lang joined the army together, making it clear that they are supporting Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng looked at the four of them who had changed the navy blue hakama of the Liaoxi camp, and for a while he had mixed feelings in his heart, and said in the future: "You guys...... Why ......"
Ji Chong said with a smile: "Why don't you take Wu Hook with you, I am a dignified son of the Six Towns, if I don't make a name for myself on the battlefield, what will I rely on to seal my wife and shadow in the future?" What to take against the fathers and fathers? Brother Lu, such a good thing, how can you leave us? ”
Yan Xiu also said: "I am not willing to be just a guard, but fortunately, I got the permission of Gongzi Xie and came to join the army." ”
Baili Xiao said: "I ...... I have to follow Brother Lu! ”
Yang Xiong looked left and right, and realized that he was the only one who had not spoken, so he nodded: "Me too." ”
Ji Chong glanced at him and sneered, "What are you coaxing?" In the end, do you want to seal your wife and son, or do you also want to follow Brother Lu? ”
Yang Xiong was not good at words, and his wheat-colored face turned red before he said, "...... Both. ”
Ji Chong laughed out loud and was about to tease a few more words, but Lu Sheng sank his face and shouted, "Nonsense! ”
Ji Chong shrank his head and didn't dare to speak again, but Lu Sheng still said with a straight face: "I don't know how thick the sky is, the Western Regions are now rampant with thieves, often disturbing the border, and the Zhenxi Army is doing a bloody business, should you go on a outing to hunt?" ”
Yan Xiu said: "Baoyang Gong...... Cough Lu Sima, since ancient times, he has been seeking wealth and danger, and he joined the army after careful consideration, and his life is at stake, so he doesn't dare to play with children's play. ”
Bai Lixiao also said: "Now that the strength of the DPRK and China is tight, if Yu Linlang voluntarily goes to the front line, the generals above will naturally be happy to push the boat, and my brothers have discussed, since they all want to go on the expedition, it is better to hold them in one place and take care of each other." ”
Yang Xiong nodded again and again: "Exactly!" ”
Ji Chong became bold at this time, raised his head, and said resolutely: "Let's go together, go back together, kill all the Hulu, and recover the Central Plains!" ”
Baili Xiao was arrogant, and he also said: "Yes, kill all the Hulu and recover the Central Plains!" ”
Lu Sheng was moved and helpless, but since these people came, they must have been approved by the commander, and now they can't take back their lives, so they have to hug their fists at everyone and say solemnly: "Brotherhood, Lu remembers it." In the future, there will be difficulties and blessings to share! ”
Ji Chong laughed again, "It's better to follow the example of the predecessors and come to Taoyuan to form a righteous party." ”
Yan Xiu said with a smile: "Although it's too late to find a peach orchard, it is also possible to weigh a few catties of peaches." ”
Ji Chong said: "It's better for me to be the little brother today, and invite the brothers to have a drink!" ”
Everyone was talking lively, but a young man who was about sixteen or seventeen years old walked on the side, clasped his hands together and said, "Master Lu, the young sect master is invited." ”
Lu Sheng was already responsible for escorting the young sect master, and he had to go to meet with Riguang to be considered responsible, but he was awkward in his heart, and he met a few comrades, so he delayed until now, and Na Riguang couldn't wait, so he sent someone to invite.
It's just that he has thousands of dissatisfactions, but it's not good to show his face to a teenage boy, so he has to say goodbye to Ji Chong, Bai Lixiao and others for a while, and said to the little novice with a pleasant face: "Please lead the way." ”
The little Shami, who was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, heard that he was busy reciting the Buddha with his hands together, bowed down and said: "The little monk is frightened, he can't afford to be called a Zen master, and Lu Shi called the little monk to call the Dharma name Yanhua." ”
He has a clear voice, a peaceful demeanor, and has cultivated very calmly at a young age, but for some reason there is some vanity under his feet, as if he has been secretly injured, but the Luo Sect is mysterious and weird, Lu Sheng did not dare to talk rashly, so he had to press it for the time being, and arrived at the small courtyard where the sun was located with Yanhua.
Nikko was supposed to set off from Xingzenji Temple the next day, but in order to avoid the mobilization of the army, he met with all the soldiers in advance and stayed in the post house, so that everyone set off together on the next day, and did not have to wait at the city gate. This move naturally won praise for the young sect master, but its purpose was really for the sake of the sergeants? Or maybe it has an ulterior motive? I'm afraid that only Nikko knows it in his heart.
The post house is naturally not as good as Xingshan Temple, Nikko succumbs to live in a simple courtyard, but it is still peaceful, standing in the courtyard, smiling comfortably, welcoming Lu Sheng into the house.
Although Lu Sheng hesitated slightly, he raised his hand to hold the hanging pot, his courage rose sharply, and what kind of demon magic did he want to make in broad daylight? He walked into the room.
Daylight's gaze swept over the hanging pot on his waist, but he didn't show a look of surprise, he was afraid that he had already heard about it, he only smiled and said: "Lu Sima, don't worry, my Jieluo Sect is not an evil sect that is difficult for strong people, although the Great Sage Huanxi Holy Venerable wants to get married to you, if you can't be willing, it will be in vain." If you don't come, you have no chance, and you should find someone else. ...... day There is a lot of offense, and I ask Lu Sima Mo to take it to heart. ”
Lu Sheng stood in the reception hall, and let the monk bring a white porcelain tea cup, after all, he had palpitations, and he didn't dare to touch it, but only hugged his fists and said: "The master and the holy venerable are wrongly loved, and Lu is ashamed." It's just that Lu has something unclear about, and he wants to ask his master for advice. ”
Sunlight also practiced martial arts, and at this time, he was wearing a ginger narrow-sleeved shirt, and he looked tall, with wide shoulders and a wide body, and his appearance was as handsome as a stone carving reflecting the morning light, and said with a smile: "Lu Sima, please speak." ”
Lu Sheng was also not polite, and asked directly: "Lu was ordered to garrison the western frontier and walk with the master, how much does this matter have to do with the master?" ”
Riguang smiled, sat cross-legged on the futon, sipping tea comfortably, and squinting at Lu Sheng, "You don't ask if it has anything to do with me, but you ask how much it has to do with it, but the little monk can't even say anything about it." ”
Lu Sheng sighed: "Sure enough, it has something to do with the master? ”
Riguang put down the teacup, sat up straight, and said: "Lu Sheng, the matter of exile is inevitable, but it can still be changed slightly. In this case, it is better to go with me to the Western Regions, so that you can take care of it. ”
Lu Sheng lowered his eyelids and smiled bitterly.
The left one should take care of the right one, he Lu Baoyang is really so incompetent, he has to be taken care of?
It's just that whether it is Yan Xiu and the others, or Riguang, he has good intentions when he says this, if he doesn't know what to do, it will be chilling.
Seeing that he bowed his head and was silent, Riguang smiled again: "Lu Sima Mo has to take it to heart, this move is just a gesture for me, and when I get to the Western Regions Protectorate, I am still too busy to take care of myself, but I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of Lu Sima, but it can provide a little convenience." ”
Lu Sheng relieved himself a little, exchanged a few words with Daylight, and turned back to find Ji Chong and the others in Yan Xiu's room.
Among these four people, Yan Xiu came the latest, but the oldest, he has a kind temperament, and has a city government, just a few days ago, he got acquainted with everyone, Ji Chong is young and smart, Baili Xiao is loyal, Yang Xiong is silent, but Yan Xiu and Lu Sheng can talk about it, at this time, when Lu Sheng mentions it, he understands and says: "I see, although Riguang is the only young sect master, I am afraid that before becoming the sect master, I still need to go through a fight." Therefore, if I sell you a favor at this time, when I wait until I arrive at the Western Regions Protectorate, I will naturally be regarded as a young sect master, and I can't stay out of the matter. ”
Ji Chong said angrily: "Master, I don't care who is the sect master, just go into battle to kill the enemy." ”
Lu Sheng also felt that his head was as big as a fight, and after thinking about it, he had to say: "It's useless to think too much, take one step at a time, and remember not to act rashly." ”
Naturally, everyone responded, and after talking freely for a while, they dispersed.
In the early morning of the second day, before the rooster crowed, Wang Meng ordered the whole army to gather, the monks and soldiers in front, the Zhenxi army in the back, more than 200 people quietly pulled out, left Jianye, and marched to the west.
Lu Sheng was riding on a horse, but he couldn't help but look back at the city gate frequently, and when he vaguely saw a figure, he tried his best to widen his eyes to see clearly.
Yan Xiu rode his horse beside him and reminded in a low voice: "My son-in-law is not in the capital now, and the person outside the city gate must not be my son-in-law." ”
Lu Sheng sneered: "I'm not ......" He stopped suddenly, and asked instead: "Xie Ying let you out of the mansion, why do you still call him 'my son-in-law'?" ”
Yan Xiu smiled softly, and replied with a calm expression: "It's called used to it, and it's hard to change your mouth for a while." ”
Lu Sheng couldn't see the flaw, so he had to stop asking, the sound of horses' hooves on the official road was like thunder, raising the yellow sand in the sky, and gradually moved away from the capital.
Rushing out of the city gate was a noble prince in gorgeous clothes and a high crown, he looked anxious, stood up on horseback, looked at the yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun in the distance, and said hatefully: "Why didn't you sue me earlier!" Brother Lu is gone! ”
The guard beside him bowed his head and said, "Gongzi is angry, Lu Gongcao ...... No, the news of Lu Sima's transfer was kept very secret, and he was afraid that he didn't want to let people know more. ”
Yun Ye has a heavy study, Lu Sheng is also busy everywhere, he has very few opportunities to see Lu Sheng, originally calculated that after graduating from Guozijian in the spring of next year, he will be recommended to enter the court as an official, so he will have more time to get along with Brother Lu, and at that time, with his own strength, he will re-recommend Lu Sheng to join the office, and it can be regarded as repaying Lu Sheng's kindness in saving his sister.
Unexpectedly, his wishful thinking played well, but Lu Sheng was no longer in Jianye.
He looked at the rolling sand and dust gradually moving away, and he couldn't help but feel a sour nose, only to feel that his heart was empty, as if something was missing.
How did Lu Sheng know that since he and his senior brother were dismissed, they no longer dared to have dealings with people in the court, for fear of affecting others. Now it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and it is inevitable to give birth to the pleasure of the dragon entering the abyss and the peng bird soaring into the sky.
More than 200 people traveled day and night, more than ten days later, they arrived in Yizhou, only a few hundred miles away from the Western Regions Protectorate, because of the proximity to the destination, everyone was excited, and the fatigue of running for days was also swept away.
It's just that after passing Yizhou, they went deep into the wilderness, and the road became more and more dangerous. Wang Meng was naturally cautious, and after discussing with Riguang, he set up camp in the suburbs of Yizhou, repaired it, and then set off.
