Chapter 23: The Logic of the Robbers
Yan Zhuang, as the chief staff of An Lushan, knew the situation near Yingzhou well, and the situation in the depths of White Wolf Mountain naturally couldn't escape his eyes.
In his opinion, only the gang of righteous bandits in the depths of White Wolf Mountain, who specialized in robbing the rich, were most likely to oppose An Lushan, and moreover, the number of people could also match.
"Bandits from White Wolf Mountain?"
An Lushan's eyebrows showed a murderous aura, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Du Du, this gang of bandits must be exterminated, first, to solve the trouble of Du Du's henchmen, and second, to blame them for the affairs of White Wolf Village, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone."
Yan Zhuang's rolling eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.
An Lushan touched his fat belly and nodded: "Shi Lugan, you immediately return to the camp, gather three thousand troops, and enter the mountains early tomorrow morning to exterminate the thieves." ”
"Don't worry, this time, the last general will kill all the thieves in White Wolf Mountain."
Shi Kuigan's cheeks trembled, looking even uglier.
Subsequently, An Lushan once again ordered all the soldiers and horses under his command to enter a state of combat readiness to launch a war against the Nu Dynasty at any time.
In the direction of White Wolf Village, the injured woman in black was lying in the main house of Li An's ancestral house, although White Wolf Village was burned into ruins by the fire, but Li An's ancestral house was still intact, at least, after many days of tidying up, it was completely inhabitable.
Another woman in black was beside her, looking out the window from time to time, her eyes full of murder and coldness.
In the courtyard outside the main house, Zhang Erniu and his brothers were pacing anxiously, they were ordered to evacuate and had arrived safely in White Wolf Village, but what happened to Li An and the others, have they gotten rid of the pursuers?
"No, it's been so long, I'm going back to pick up the owner of the village."
Zhang Erniu couldn't hold back a little, raised his legs and walked out.
"Erniu, we're back."
Just as Zhang Erniu had just taken a step in front of him, Li An and the four had already walked in, their faces full of joy of victory.
"Village master, Da Lang, you're finally back, it's great."
"Okay, Erniu, where are the two little ladies?"
"The owner of the village, they are all in the house, one of them is injured and has fallen asleep, and the other is watching from the side and does not let us come close."
Li Fei Shouyu waved his hand lightly: "Erniu, you and the brothers will go to the front yard, and also, send some brothers to the direction of the Heping Lu Army Camp in Liucheng County to inquire about the situation." ”
"Yes, Lord."
Zhang Erniu answered and led the brothers out of the backyard.
Li An and Li Fei Shouyu glanced at each other and walked gently to the main room.
"Who are you, and why did you assassinate An Lushan?"
The woman in black walked to the door and blocked Li Ang and Li Fei Shouyu.
'What a handsome little girl. ’
Li An was slightly stunned, the woman in black in front of her was impeccable in both her body shape and face, with white cheeks and flushed cheeks, a high nose bridge, and a ......
However, the beautiful eyes of the woman in black are full of arrogance and coldness, as if she never puts anyone in her eyes, this is a typical cold beauty, cold and cold, and with an unapproachable arrogance.
"Lady, in Xia Li An, the words are fine, this house is my home, and this is my friend next to me, Li Fei Shouyu."
When Ang Lee called the lady, he was psychologically beautiful, and he felt like he was taking advantage of the other party, but Datang called the young woman a lady, and if it was a little girl, it was a little lady, and Ang Lee was not wrong.
"Your name is Li Fei Shouyu."
The woman in black completely ignored Ang Li and stared at Li Fei Shouyu.
Li An's head suddenly felt sour, and he saw Li Fei Shouyu nodding his head.
"Okay, you go in!" The woman in black glanced at Li Fei Shouyu, and then looked at Li An: "You, follow me." ”
The cold commanding tone did not contain a trace of emotion, which made Li An feel cold in his heart, this is my house! It's your turn.
However, good men don't fight with women, they care about girls, and they lose their manly demeanor, Li An shook his head lightly, followed behind the woman in black, and came to the West Courtyard.
"Lady, your companion has already slept, you are not afraid ......"
Li An was very curious, the woman in black had been guarding the door, not letting Zhang Erniu and others enter the main room, why was she so relieved of Li Fei Shouyu, could it be that Shouyu had an upright face.
"I will repay the grace of saving my life in the future, say it! Why did you assassinate An Lushan? ”
The woman in black ignored Ang Li's question and asked directly.
The tone was cold and straightforward, which made Li An'an's head covered with a layer of ice again.
'Alright! You're a woman, I don't care about you'
Li An shook his head lightly and said truthfully: "An Lushan is my father's enemy, and his subordinates slaughtered the entire White Wolf Village, these reasons are enough!" ”
Hearing this, the woman in black nodded.
"Lady, I told you my name, why I assassinated An Lushan and I also told you, dare to ask Niangzi's name."
In his previous life, he was twisted and pinched, and in this life, Ang Lee wants to be a person who dares to be a person who dares to speak.
"My name is Li Hanlu, a member of the Xi tribe, An Lushan has been on the Northern Expedition for many years, killing many people in my tribe, and I killed him to avenge the clansmen."
The answer was crisp and direct, but the tone was still cold.
'Li Hanlu, the name is cold enough, no wonder it looks like this, it seems that it is very important for parents to give their names. ’
"Oh, Hanlu, what a poetic name, then I'll call you Hanlu Lady."
Li Hanlu glared at Li An, and his eyes were full of 'You are bored. ’
Li An didn't understand why the handsome Li Hanlu was so cold and so rejecting people thousands of miles away, which may be related to her experience.
"Hanlu Xiaoniang, don't you Xi people feel guilty for going south to loot and rob my Datang property and people for many years?"
Li Hanlu condensed a wave of anger between his eyebrows: "As long as the cattle and sheep are fat and strong, and they won't go hungry, we Xi people will not go south, and when there is no food, why go south to grab some?" ”
'Robber logic, typical robber logic, poverty has become a reason to be a thief, and it is justified in saying it. ’
"If you don't have enough food, you go south to plunder, that's what you Xi people think?"
"Hmph, you can't starve to death!"
Li Hanlu's tone is still straightforward, in her opinion, cattle and sheep have to eat grass when they are hungry, people have to eat when they are hungry, and if they don't have food, they will naturally rob it, what can be wrong with this? Are you willing to starve to death?
This little lady's three views are too problematic, full of the bandit logic unique to nomads, if you don't educate it, won't it make it wrong all the time. ’
"Hanlu Xiaoniang, if we Tang people are hungry and go to rob your tribe's cattle and sheep, what will happen to you?"
"Kill you, of course."
"But we Tang people don't have food, we can't starve to death! What's wrong with that? ”
"You ......"
Li Hanlu was choked and couldn't refute it, and the anger in his eyes was even stronger.
Li An smiled indifferently, quite proud in his heart, this cold little lady was full of arrogance, but her eloquence and IQ were really not good, at least, she had no ability to mess around.
"Hanlu Xiaoniang, in fact, as long as you Xi people return to the Tang Dynasty and exchange your horses for the grain of the Tang Dynasty, you can completely fill your stomach, and you don't have to go south to plunder at all, so An Lushan will not be able to justify the Northern Expedition."
First of all, the Xi people are connected with the Khitan, Turkic and other ethnic groups, and they may not be willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty at the moment, in addition, with An Lushan's cunning nature, he will not live in harmony with the Xi people, and the friction and fighting will never stop.
Li Hanlu looked up into the distance, thinking about something, perhaps, Li An's words made his thoughts fluctuate.
"The Xi people went south to plunder, and An Lushan sent troops to the north to ......"
Li Ang muttered a few words casually in his mouth, and suddenly thought of something.
"Hanlu Xiaoniang, you Xi people have just gone south, and there was a conflict with the Pinglu army here, don't you, you must know what happened here, right, tell me, are the people of White Wolf Village still alive? My relatives, young sprouts, dogs, and Xiaokui, have they been plundered by you? ”
Li An emotionally shook Li Hanlu's hands.
"Let go."
Li Hanlu broke away from Li An, took a step back, and looked at Li An vigilantly.
"You just said it yourself, it was An Lushan's subordinates who slaughtered the entire village, and you still have to ask?"
"Dead, all dead." Li Anxin was dizzy for a while, and said loudly: "What about their corpses?" Why don't you see the body? ”
"It's all baked and eaten."
"You don't even spare people's corpses."
"When people are dead, what is the use of corpses."
Li Hanlu showed an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth, and turned around and walked towards the gap in the west courtyard.
In the main room of the ancestral house, the injured woman in black was still asleep, and next to her, a pair of gentle eyes were looking at her with tenderness, not so much looking at her as appreciating it.
Li Fei Shouyu never expected that Mi Niang, who suddenly said goodbye, would appear in front of his eyes again, he wanted to touch Mi Niang's fair face, but he was worried about disturbing her rest, so he kept admiring it, only occasionally playing with her scattered hair.
"Shouyu."
Li An, who walked into the main room, couldn't believe his eyes.
"Shh
Li Fei Shouyu made a silent expression, got up and walked out of the main room with Li An.
"Shouyu, this little lady is the one you saved at the beginning?"
Li Fei Shouyu nodded, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that after so many years, I can see her again, fine, you seem to be in a bad mood." ”
Li An sighed softly: "Shouyu, you may not know, these two little ladies are from the Xi clan, the one just now is called Li Hanlu, she said that the people in the village were killed, and the corpses were roasted and eaten by them." ”
"It's a joke to be roasted and eaten!"
"Shouyu, that mother-in-law has a cold face, how can she be a joker."
Ang Lee's face was bitter.
"It's okay, this may be her angry words, when Mi Niang wakes up, I will ask her."
Li An nodded: "Okay!" ”
"The owner of the village, the owner of the village, there is movement in the direction of the Pinglu Army."
