69.Chapter 69
Lu Sheng grabbed the hanging pot and approached the wooden window, and then heard the scratching sound outside the window intermittently, mixed with a few faint cat meows.
He raised his eyebrows, pushed open a crack in the wooden window, and a tiger-striped kitten suddenly flashed in, a few of them rose and fell lightly, jumped straight from the ground to the chair, and then jumped onto the simple round table in the room, sitting upright in front of Lu Sheng, a tail raised high and bent, and the round eyes reflected the candle flame, flashing dark gold.
Lu Sheng noticed that it had half a page in its mouth, probably a fragment torn from some letter.
The tiger-striped kitten saw Lu Sheng approaching, so he lowered his head, put half a page on the table, and gently pushed it with his front paws.
Lu Sheng put down the hanging pot and approached to pick up the fragment, which was a commonly used kraft paper in the army, the paper was rough, but it was very strong, and it was not easy to break when exposed to water. He looked closely, and wrote some words on the paper, and he couldn't see the clues, probably a military record written by a military adviser's staff, this staff member was only afraid that he was selling his talents, and he wrote a beautiful and complicated ancient seal, Lu Sheng had recognized it for a long time, but he only knew a few numbers, if it was used to transmit military news, it was naturally an obstacle, no wonder it was torn apart and discarded. He also threw away the half page and sighed: "If Guo Qian's subordinates have such staff members who don't know the general situation, I am afraid that there will be more than enough success and more failure." ”
The tiger-striped kitten licked his paws slowly, and said lazily: "This is written by Guo Qian." ”
As soon as Lu Sheng stretched out his hand, he grabbed the skin of the back of his neck, held it in the air, and frowned: "Yan Xiu, is this true?" ”
Yan Xiu let him carry it around, his four paws shrunk in the fluff under his abdomen, but his tail naturally hung down, seeing that the look was extremely strict, he meowed and said: "Naturally, I don't dare to deceive Baoyang Gongzi, Guo Qian wrote and wrote, and if he was not satisfied, he burned it all, and I tried my best to steal it...... coughed up this half of the page. ”
Lu Sheng looked at it face to face, and for a while he was full of questions.
As far as he knew, Guo Qian was illiterate, and when he was in the camp in western Liaoning, he wanted to write a letter to his hometown in Shanyang, but he still had a bookkeeper ghostwriter.
This hand is strict and ancient, and it is perfect, how can it be something that an ordinary pariah can learn?
Seeing that Lu Sheng was only silent, the tiger-striped kitten meowed again, hugged Lu Sheng's wrist flexibly with four paws, and rubbed his face on his wrist comfortably, and then said, "Guo Qian stinks very much." ”
Lu Sheng let it stick, wrapped his arms around it and held it in his arms, stroked it gently, only to feel that the fluff was fine and soft, soft as a boneless ball, and it was particularly cute when rubbed, and for a while he couldn't help but touch it from the top of his head to his back, while asking: "I didn't notice it, could it be that it's ...... Demons and demons? ”
The kitten put his chin on Lu Sheng's arm, squinted his eyes, purred in his throat, and swayed his tail from side to side comfortably, letting people rub it for a while before replying: "Although I don't know the true face of that ghost, but it is definitely not a good type, Guo Qian must be either evil or possessed, I am afraid that I will ...... I didn't know it yet. However, in the long run...... Well, ears, ears, ......"
Lu Sheng frowned and pondered, scratching his ears for it absentmindedly, and said: "If it is a ghost, you have to consult everyone to solve it, and you can't act rashly for the time being, you can send a letter to Xie Ying for me tomorrow." ”
He was slightly surprised, coughed lightly and said, "This is...... Right, business, I have to bother your son-in-law. ”
The tiger-striped kitten was very understanding, only blinked a pair of golden pupils, raised his head and meowed a few times towards Lu Sheng, the soft and delicate little beast whimpered, and it was not at all similar to Yan Xiu, and Lu Sheng didn't know if this cat demon was pretending to be stupid or if it really had reached the time limit, so he couldn't speak. He had to put the kitten back on the table, burn the paper in the middle of the night, and then said, "Recharge your energy, and make plans tomorrow." ”
The kitten jumped onto a wicker chair covered with wolf skins, and fell asleep in a clump.
Seeing this, Lu Sheng had no choice but to wash up, blow out the lights, and go to rest. He had only just laid down, and the rattan chair rattled gently, but the kitten jumped off the wicker chair, jumped on the bed, and circled around his calves a few times, found a comfortable position, and lay down peacefully.
One person and one cat were safe and sound, and slept until the early morning of the next day, Lu Sheng was hazy and sleepy, and noticed a cloud of stuffed things rolling around at his feet, he opened his eyes to see, but it was the kitten sleeping with loose fur and four paws facing the sky, and the belly with white hair in the brown and yellow tiger stripes was completely exposedcame out, tilted his head back again, rubbed against his calf, and said in a daze: "Hmm...... It smells like my son-in-law......"
Lu Sheng suddenly burst into flames, turned over and sat up, copied the kitten in his hand, walked to the edge of the house in a few steps, and threw it out of the window.
The tiger striped kitten was thrown out of the window half-asleep and half-awake, but fortunately, it should become fast, hurriedly turned over, landed steadily in the courtyard, and meowed a few times, seeing that Lu Sheng had closed the window tightly, he woke up and washed his hair and face, scratched his ears, and screamed a few more tentatively, there was no movement by the window, he knew that Lu Sheng was really annoyed, so he ran away in frustration.
Lu Sheng knew that this move was just anger, and it was just a subconscious move of embarrassment for a while.
Because of the troubles in the army, I didn't notice it, but now I haven't seen Xie Ying for half a month.
Lu Sheng inevitably had some thoughts.
As soon as the sky dawned, Lu Sheng met with Bai Lixiao and others, but there was no trace of Yan Xiu, Ji Chong snorted: "Brother Yan went out early in the morning, saying that he would go around to investigate. It's just that after all, he has done too much for the palace guards, and he swaggered to investigate, just look at his clothes to know that he is an outsider, who will show clues in front of him? ”
Although the armies inside and outside the fortress are on guard against strict cultivation, they will not be more vigilant against a palm-sized tiger striped kitten, not to mention that Yan Xiu's little demon is very virtuous when he is in human form, and he is also very cunning when he is in the form of a beast. It's just that this matter can't be explained to the three people in front of him, Lu Sheng had to laugh and said: "He is investigating in the Ming to attract attention." ”
Bai Lixiao also frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Lu, could it be...... Do you want to use Brother Yan as bait? ”
Before Lu Sheng could speak, he heard a distant whistling from outside the door, and the footsteps were surging like a tide, everyone's faces sank, and they hurriedly walked out of the house, and saw Chen An hurriedly entering the courtyard gate, and arched his hand: "Lu Sima, Rouran is coming, Captain Guo is transferring troops, and the last general is ordered to come for Lu Sima to send." His demeanor was naturally relaxed, like a homely conversation, he had long been used to it, Lu Sheng thought about it for a while, and asked Chen An to lead the way, to see the battle situation.
Chen An led everyone to the high earth wall of the fortress, but saw the opposing army under the wall, guns and halberds like a forest, Guo Qian rode an exceptionally tall horse, out of the crowd, he was tall, wearing a shining armor, holding a long-handled broadsword, the blade was blue and black heavy, but in his hands it was light and agile, leading a team of men and horses to rush to the enemy.
As for the Rouran army that came to attack, there were about a thousand people, all of them were as fierce as wolves, and everyone shouted to kill, as if two iron streams collided fiercely, and blood and limbs splashed in all directions.
Guo Qian is even more brave, like a martial god descending, rampage through the enemy, such as entering a no-man's land, the sword light is everywhere, the limbs are broken, and the lives are lost, the enemy also perceives the strength of this brave general, and sent more men and horses to surround and intercept Guo Qian, but it does not work at all, and they are all killed by Guo Qian. In the distance, there were more archers around, and the bows and arrows were aimed at Guo Qian, and when he was about to shoot arrows, a sergeant suddenly rushed out of Guo Qian's team, and in the blink of an eye, he broke into the archers, and the long knife in his hand was galloping, and he actually killed hundreds of archers.
The tall sergeant, with his helmet in his hand, turned slowly, glanced at the earthen wall, and then retreated into the army, and disappeared.
Lu Sheng couldn't see it very clearly in the distance, and he took a step forward unconsciously, frowning, "That's ......"
Chen An was also surprised: "There are such characters in our army? When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, it is necessary to get acquainted. ”
Lu Sheng saw that he really didn't know him, so he didn't ask any more.
Because of this attack, the morale of our army became more and more boosted, and the war drums were deafening, Guo Qian wiped out seven or eight out of ten of the Rouran barbarians, and the rest either surrendered or fled for their lives, and they were all chased and killed one by one, and they didn't leave any alive at all.
From the beginning of the war to the end, but in half an hour, Guo Qian pursued all the way to the place where he could not see, and completely wiped out the fleeing barbarians, and the sergeant behind him began to clean up the battlefield.
Lu Sheng and the others were also inconvenient to stay longer, so they went down the wall and instructed Chen An to inform Guo Qian as soon as his official duties were over. Chen An was ordered to go, and Ji Chong saw that he had gone far, so he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lu, this Guo Qian is not a simple person. ”
Lu Sheng recalled the half-page of the book that Yan Xiu stole last night, his heart moved, and he asked in a low voice, "How do you say this?" ”
Ji Chong crossed his arms and pondered, "The moves he made...... I've probably seen it before. ”
