Chapter 25: Lu Hongxiu is back

The medicine slave pouted and looked at the women, "I asked you to look at the beef jerky, you actually ate it behind my back, and the little lady didn't allow the medicine slave to eat it!" ”

Lou Zheng looked at the women who were afraid to speak, glared at the medicine slave, and then caught a glimpse of a few children in the corner of the wall not far away looking at this side with a few pairs of big eyes.

Lou Zheng coughed lightly, "Medicine slave, okay, don't talk about it." Aunts, don't panic, in fact, these beef jerky is sunburned, I originally wanted to share a part of it with everyone, you are all the wives and relatives of my father's family, that is, me and my father's family, what is it to eat some beef jerky, medicine slave, you take two people to send some to your aunts' families. ”

The medicine slave pouted unwillingly, "Little lady, this beef jerky is precious!" I couldn't bear it! ”

"If you like to eat it, go get it, who won't let you eat it!" Lou Zheng patted the medicine slave's head.

These women who stole beef jerky were even more embarrassed when they heard Lou Zheng's words, especially Aunt Huang and Aunt Xie, whose eyes were red.

When Lou Zheng left, the medicine slave snorted angrily and gave some beef jerky to these women, and then when he left, he also grabbed a handful, looked at his little hands, felt that a handful of beef jerky was too little, and turned back, and took several handfuls of his skirt before going back to his room like a thief to prepare for a happy meal.

After Lou Zheng left, he went to Lu Hongxiu's small yard and took care of the herbs planted in Lu Hongxiu's yard, and by the way, he focused on the pepper seedlings.

Spring in Liangzhou has completely come, the sun is shining, and this small medicine field reclaimed by Lu Hongxiu is covered with green, and a spring breeze is blowing. The blue waves are rolling, and it is very beautiful.

After loosening the soil and fertilizing these seedlings, Lou Zheng stared at the seedlings of the peppers in a daze.

She didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her father's border army if Lu Hongxiu didn't come back on time.

Yu Jiu, who was distracted, was guarding outside the small courtyard and hurriedly ran in, "Little lady, little lady, Lu Gongzi has news!" ”

What the!

Lou Zheng stood up suddenly, took the thin letter from Yu Jiu's hand, and opened it urgently.

There are very few words in it. Lou Zheng recognized at a glance that this was Lu Hongxiu's handwriting. There is no nonsense in the letter. Instead, they were told that they would arrive in Liangzhou tomorrow afternoon.

Lou Zheng clutched the letterhead in her hand tightly, the letter paper was crumpled by her, and it was not until this time that the big stone in her heart was really removed.

"Daddy, is anyone there to inform?"

Yu Jiu nodded hurriedly. "The general who delivered the letter himself rushed to the barracks. It is estimated that the general will know the news in a quarter of an hour. ”

Lou Zheng bowed his head. Put away Lu Hongxiu's letter, turn around and go to find Steward Wu.

She had to find a good person to prepare the supplies that Lu Hongxiu brought back from Tianjinggang first.

Last night, I heard General Lou say that the grain and grass in the barracks are only enough for one day today. Tomorrow's breakfast is gone.

Steward Wu hurried to the study of the Marshal's Mansion, and Lou Zheng didn't have time to wait for him to rest for a cup of tea, so he said: "Uncle Wu, go and order someone to transport all the grain stored in our Marshal's Mansion to the barracks." ”

Steward Wu was startled and looked up at the little lady.

"It's too late, there will be no surplus food in the barracks early tomorrow morning, my senior brother will only be able to arrive in Liangzhou at noon tomorrow, and deal with it first."

When Steward Wu heard Lou Zheng say this, he also understood the reason, and his face became solemn, "The old slave will do it!" ”

Staring at the back of Steward Wu's rapid departure, Lou Zheng got up and stood in front of the study window, squinting at the garden of the Shuai Mansion.

What good scenery can there be in a bad weather like Liangzhou, even the garden of the dignified marshal's mansion is only shaded by a few green trees.

This place wasted more than ten years of my father's time, although my father was in the prime of life, but the foundation of his body had been almost destroyed in the past ten years, and after this battle, Lou Zheng planned to never let his father set foot in the border of Liangzhou again.

At noon the next day, beside the endless grassland barren road in Liangzhou, there is only a pitch-black and simple pavilion, the pavilion has been overgrown with wild grass around it, almost half of this small pavilion is submerged, in the weeds between the shades, there is a small inscription, on the book "Liangzhou Ten Mile Pavilion".

At this time, General Lou Da and Lou Zheng and the generals in the border army were waiting on horseback at the desolate Shili Pavilion.

Two o'clock in the afternoon had passed, and there was finally a team of black and black centaurs in the depths of the endless grassland.

There was a cheer from the ranks of the guards, and then General Lou's frowning eyebrows also relaxed.

Lou Zheng waved his horsewhip to meet him, and Yu Jiu was startled and hurriedly chased after him with two of his subordinates.

The breeze on the grassland blows the delicate thorn hairpin cloth skirt of the jujube red horse, and the pale cyan cloak hunts in the wind.

Lu Hongxiu held a long sword on his waist and looked at the figure running towards him, suddenly his pupils shrank, and in the depths of his mind, it seemed that there was suddenly something that coincided with this moment, like a steel needle suddenly pierced into his heart, and he throbbed in pain, and in an instant, his face became pale, and he clutched the placket of his chest tightly with one hand, and his straight back arched.

He gasped for breath, but a layer of cold sweat immediately oozed from his forehead in the warmer spring weather.

The old guards beside him saw that something was suddenly wrong with him, and asked worriedly: "Master Lu, what's wrong with you?" ”

It was as if someone had suddenly pulled him back from a frightened dream, and the sharp throbbing pain in his chest suddenly disappeared, if it weren't for Lu Hongxiu's good health, at this time, I am afraid that he would collapse and fall off the horse.

Clenching the reins, he took a deep breath to calm the almost desperate emotions that had just suddenly welled up, and when he looked up at the girl on horseback again, the emotions had calmed down.

Lou Zheng grabbed the reins, and the jujube red horse stopped beside Lu Hongxiu, Lou Zheng smiled sincerely, his eyes were clear, "Senior brother, thank you for your hard work." ”

Lu Hongxiu's expression flashed slightly when he looked at this little junior sister, and then replied: "Senior sister doesn't need to be polite to me. ”

So, the two brothers and sisters drove their horses side by side on the desolate official road in Liangzhou, chatting as they walked.

After a while, General Lou and his people also came over.

Lu Hongxiu led more than 70 battalion lieutenant generals and old guards all returned, and a large number of people and horses followed behind were caravans sent by the eldest grandson's family to escort items.

The military camp, which had been floating for a while, was completely stabilized because of these abundant supplies.

There is not much Lou Zheng can do later, but at this time, there is no need for her to do anything.

With horseshoe horses, new soft armor and strong soldiers with bows and crossbows, plenty of military rations, and all kinds of new weapons, the rest is the matter of General Lou and the generals.

How to make these soldiers almost armed to their feet become the most powerful military force in the Great Wu Dynasty, these generals know more than Lou Zheng. (To be continued.) )
