Chapter 42 Cowardly and afraid

She exclaimed, "Dare you to play tricks on me!" ”

The guard who drove the carriage shook his head, he explained with a smile, and said, "No, I just hope that Miss Lu has multiple opportunities, why hang yourself on a tree, Miss Lu said no?" ”

Lu Manman was a little impatient when she heard this, and she asked him to shut up, she said: "Okay, don't talk about it, I can't control this kind of thing." ”

The good-looking guard asked her leisurely, "Miss Lu really thinks that marriage is predestined?" ”

Lu Manman nodded, "Maybe, it's all the parents' orders anyway, the matchmaker's words." ”

The guard who drove the carriage interjected directly, "If you want me to say, happiness is in your own hands, don't you?" ”

Seeing that the two of them still wanted to talk non-stop, she forcibly changed the topic directly, and she asked curiously: "Okay, okay, how long will it take us to arrive?" ”

The guard who drove the carriage was like a know-it-all, and he said it very smoothly, and he said excitedly: "Six thousand three hundred miles, one mile and three hundred steps, and the carriage is only four hundred miles a day, and it will take half a month, and we must rest, so it will take a month......

"What do you say? So far? Wait, how can you calculate it so clearly? ”

Lu Manman suddenly had a different opinion of the guard, and she was curious, how could this person be so delicate?

The good-looking guard explained: "He was born in an oil and rice shop, and he has been settling accounts with his father since he was a child, and he is very sensitive to numbers. ”

The guard who drove the carriage lifted his thin whip and whipped the horse twice, and then responded, "That's right! That's what he said! ”

Lu Changman couldn't help asking: "Then daddy and they...... How long did it take? ”

The guard who drove the horse opened his mouth and said: "It will take a month for 200,000 iron horsemen to be the fastest, and it will take a month to transport grain and grass materials, which is considered fast." ”

Without even thinking about it, he blurted out, "Don't underestimate my BMWs, they are all well-trained mounts." ”

Lu Changman sighed, "It's so hard to fight." ”

The good-looking guard casually chimed in, "Yes, but isn't it all for the people?" ”

Lu Manman shook his head and spit out four words, "That's a bad word." ”

The guard asked, "Oh? What is Miss Lu's opinion? ”

After hearing this, Lu Manman realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she quickly shook her head, "Don't say it, it's hard to say this kind of thing." ”

The two guards looked at each other, and one of the guards with a good face spoke, "Okay, Miss Lu and Master Situ have a good rest." ”

"I'm tired of the guard."

After a long time, she turned her head to look at Situ Xiuyuan, thinking to herself that this guy has nothing to do with this? Do you really need him to prepare for a rainy day?

Lu Long didn't understand what Situ Xiuyuan wanted to do, she thought she understood, but Situ Xiuyuan did something that made her puzzled, she really didn't understand what this person wanted to do.

On the other side, the Frontier Pillar State.

The brief battle stained the clouds in the sky with black mist, and the dark yellow sky was so oppressive that people could not speak.

The dilapidated towering walls had not yet had time to be repaired, as if a strong wind could blow the wall down.

There are several flags on the city wall, and the flags are embroidered with the pattern of the character Li.

Red flags flutter and dance with the cool breeze.

There was a lot of drama in the city, as if the battlefield outside the city had nothing to do with him.

A bully was scantily clad and shirtless, wearing a pair of black thick trousers, holding his fur coat in his hand, threatening the stall vendors, "Is it time to pay today's protection fee?" ”

After speaking, he directly kicked over the vegetable seller's table of vegetables and fruits, stepped on the table, his eyes were blazing, and he looked down at the vegetable seller who was already kneeling on the ground.

The vegetable seller was the first to plead, "Uncle, you can do it, let us go, we really don't have any business today, and we don't have half a copper plate." ”

He was dressed in a leaky outfit, and his robe was full of shabby pudding, which was really annoying to look at.

The bully said disdainfully: "You begged me to protect you at the beginning, how can you talk now doesn't count, right?" Hurry, pay quickly! ”

He recalled that when his father was still a county magistrate, how majestic and majestic he was at that time.

This group of things who don't know whether they are alive or dead are still holding their thighs one by one to take care of them by themselves, but now they are backtracking!

The bully couldn't bear it, his face was blue and hideous.

Lying on the ground were also old people selling other things, they cried with sad faces, and wailed: "Uncle, we are really living in poverty, you don't know the current market, we really don't have money!" ”

Since the day of the war, everything in this city has left, leaving this group of old and weak women and children who have no one to take care of, and the bullies take this opportunity to rob and threaten.

He pulled up his trouser legs and pretended to be tidying up very carefully, then suddenly raised his head and said viciously: "What is the market now?" In the situation of Guotai and Min'an, you say you can't sell it? If this is placed in the capital, who will believe it! Will the emperor believe it? ”

"I ......"

"Don't think I'm alone and can't beat you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bully clenched his fists......

This scene was seen by the group of lazy soldiers in the restaurant.

The clamor of the bullies suppressed the Confucianism, and the officers and soldiers sat in the restaurant drinking and having fun, as if what was happening in the city was being shown to them like a play.

A menacing sentence floated throughout the private room, "Little Er, Little Er, give me the best wine and food!" ”

The young boy came out, his young face covered with sweat, and he wiped his face with the white rag on his shoulder, and then replied, "Hello! ”

"Dare to ask what kind of food and drinks are objectively needed?"

"Best, didn't you hear?"

"The best in our Yipin Pavilion has several ingots of silver, dare to ask what you want objectively?"

"Look down on Lao Tzu?"

As he spoke, the soldier took out the long knife from his waist and showed it to the child.

The sharp long knife revealed a cold chill, Xiao Er saw that the knife surface was so clean and smooth, and his face could still be printed on the knife, and immediately he swallowed his saliva and said timidly: "Guest officer...... Guest officer ......"

"What? Know what to do? ”

The soldier's tone was very bad, and he directly scared the child into tears.

Xiao Er collapsed to the ground and shouted again and again: "Mother...... Mother......"

I cried while shouting at him, crying so much.

The soldier scolded viciously: "Damn, it's really ruining Lao Tzu's fun!" ”

After that, a few more soldiers were disturbed by the child's cry, and someone said, "Where is the shopkeeper?" Pull this kid back and take good care of it! Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu's subordinates for being ruthless! ”

A woman who heard the crying hurriedly ran upstairs, and when she saw that the other party's knife was exposed, she trembled and said: "The guest officer is angry, the child is not sensible, don't blame!" ”

As she spoke, she also knelt beside the child and wiped away her tears.

"Guest officer, please wait a moment, good wine and meat will be served to you."

"Heh, you really know each other, this is like words!"

After saying that, the soldier who raised the broadsword put the knife in his hand back into the scabbard at his waist, and then sat down on the stool with his ass in a good mood.

Several soldiers smiled at each other, and then fell silent.

The soldier who provoked the trouble was the first to speak, "If it weren't for us, would this dilapidated restaurant still exist?" ”

A sharp-mouthed soldier echoed and said with a smile: "Hahaha, what the eldest brother said is right!" ”

The troublemaker pointed to the group of people on the street and said arrogantly: "Look at that rude man below, if it weren't for his father's face, Lao Tzu would have slaughtered him with wine!" ”

"Hahaha, big brother is really amazing!"

"That's not it, who called him our boss!"

The word "big brother" made that person very happy, and he almost didn't know what the emperor was.

He is almost delusional that he will one day be able to ascend to the emperor and dominate the world, and let those people bow down to him!

Especially Lu Chenyuan, that old thing, just because he is a celebrity around the emperor, he is pointing fingers at others! He didn't look at who he was without that title!

After the wine and food were served, the group of people went out with each other after eating, and they didn't even give money for the meal.

"Can this world still make people have a good time? Isn't it the same as not changing the county order? When will our Savior arrive? ”

The woman squatted in the kitchen with her crying child in her arms, complaining about God's injustice.

The shopkeeper hurriedly covered the woman's mouth and said, "You can't say that! It's not good for them to hear it! ”

The woman slapped the shopkeeper's hand away, crying and shouting, "Do you have the ability to do it?" Even if I die today, I'm going to scold out loud! ”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, "Daddy, what do you think?" The more afraid of this kind of person, the more rampant they become, you see that our family is about to run out of money to buy goods and have to offer them as immortals, I can't bear it! ”

When the shopkeeper saw that the woman was about to scold loudly, he hurriedly pulled her and scolded: "The woman really has long hair and short knowledge!" Would our family still be there without them? Without them throwing their heads and spilling blood on the battlefield, would we still have a chance to live? ”

The woman did not listen to the persuasion, but scolded even more fiercely, and she shouted, "Oh, is it them? I don't recognize the words of the banner hanging on the city wall, General Li and Prime Minister Lu Cheng, who killed the enemy on the station, they are good, and they have bullied the people with that little bit of credit! ”

"Is this the way of the world? Can you still want this world? I spit on it! ”

She really can't stand it anymore, the war? The enemy's war? No, it's not the enemy's war that has destroyed her home, it's this group of bullies who eat people and don't spit out bones!

The woman put her hands on the shoulders of the shopkeeper and said fiercely, "Why are you so cowardly? Being bullied like this! ”

The shopkeeper's face was almost pulled by her to match her face, he was sweating, and said helplessly: "I'm not for you two?" ”

"For the sake of us two? I think you're just scared! ”
