Chapter 111: The Wind Rises (8)
Xu Lehan made an appointment with two people, covered in mud and dust, looking south.
The mountain has gradually flattened here, and immediately on the top of the mountain, you can already see the winding Sanggan River valley at your feet, as well as a large area of river valley woodland with reckless hazel.
Xujialu is not far away, within a range of dozens of miles.
It's Xu Le, who has been on the road day and night like this, and he has lost his natural chic bearing. The look was both tired and slightly restless. When he arrived here, he looked particularly anxious.
It was Han Yue, who rushed to the place out of the mountain, obviously relieved, and along the way, both of them took out the strength to eat milk and hurried away. Thanks to Xu Le's mount Swallowing Dragon Divine Horse, Han Yue's mount was also selected in the Lianghai Special Department, so it could be supported.
Seeing that Xu Jialu was within a day's journey, there was a quiet and peaceful scene in front of him, Han Yue's tense nerves that were brought by Xu Le were also relaxed, and now at noon, after nightfall, he could enter Xujialu, meet the old lady, see his mother and little brother, sleep steadily, and then discuss what to do next.
But Xu Le's expression was still tense. The crotch of the god horse swallowing the dragon seemed to feel the nervousness of the master, and hissed softly.
Han Yue looked at Xu Le: "Le Langjun, what's wrong?" ”
An inexplicable feeling just lingered in Xu Le's heart, holding his emotions tightly. Let yourself feel like you're out of breath.
This kind of uneasiness and nervousness, even if Xu Le sneaked into the camp of more than 1,000 Yue with Bu Li, he had never had it.
Facing Han Yue's questioning, Xu Le only shook his head and reluctantly said: "Hurry up, it's a good thing to return to Xujialu a moment earlier!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Le had already shaken the reins, swallowed the dragon and hissed, and walked down the mountain road towards the south quickly!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the couch, Xu Kang, who had lost so much weight that only a handful of bones remained, quietly listened to Du Chong's incoherent return.
The old man's eyes, which had been closed, were open.
Ah Le is in the clouds, he has really done a great job, and he actually let Wang Rengong send troops here!
His grandson, after all, is not a thing in the pool, once released, it will be like a dragon entering the sea, and it cannot be copied. There will always be a heroic career!
For being implicated by Xu Le, Xu Dang didn't pay attention to it at all. As for why Xu Le suddenly joined Liu Wuzhou, Xu dared to believe that he also had his own reasons. As long as the grandson makes a decision, he, who is a grandfather, will support him unconditionally.
Ah Le should also think of Wang Rengong's retributive temperament, and he is rushing here at the same time, right? I have to hold out until the moment Ah Le arrives, and I still have too much to say to him!
Thinking that his grandson didn't know how to be heroic in the land of the clouds, forcing a county to be annoyed and ashamed, Xu Dare At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xu Dang lightly ordered: "Du Jiada, go ring the bell." ”
Du Chong nodded stunned, turned around, and ran to an ancient tree in front of Xu Kang's mansion, where a rusty iron bell was hanging.
The sound of the bell ringing came into the bedroom, Xu Dang smiled and looked at the mother and son of the Han family who had come in to visit, and said to Han Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, are you afraid?" ”
Han Xiaoliu was so excited that his nose fanned, and Dongdong patted his chest: "What is there to be afraid of!" Let's also follow Le Langjun and do a great career! ”
Xu Dang smiled and ordered: "Then carry me out." ”
The bell rang, startling the people of the Xu family.
There are more than 30 families in this Lu, and most of them are displaced people who have been attached over the years.
Among the homeless people, there have always been many young and strong, old and weak, and in the past ten years, there are not many who have started a family. Being in the borderland, life is difficult, and it is not easy to survive, and it is even more difficult to spread the branches and leaves.
These young and strong, in the winter leisure, have all been taught by Xu Kang. When there are still many bandits, or when the rumors of the Turkic invasion of the Kou are heard, once the bell rings, the people of Lu will come out with their swords and prepare to defend the whole Lu.
This is also the legacy left by the dock wall fortress in the border land of the Central Plains in the troubled times for hundreds of years. Every village can almost be regarded as a combat-effective unit!
Dozens of young people in Lu Zhong were idle at home in winter, but when they heard the bell, the footsteps came in a hurry. Everyone was carrying bows and arrows, some of them had married wives, and the mother-in-law of the family came with them, and a group of people saw Du Chong standing under the ancient tree, and asked one after another.
"Du Jiada, what the hell is going on?"
"Where's the old lady?"
"I heard someone shouting Lumen just now, you are on duty at the wall, what happened outside?"
Du Chong was not a person who could speak well, but now he was even more shocked by the sudden bad news and didn't react. The gossip of the crowd made Du Chong's face flushed, but he couldn't earn half a word.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: "The old lady is out!" ”
A group of men with bows and knives on their backs immediately let go of Du Chong and saluted one after another: "Taigong! ”
At the door of Xu Dang's mansion, Han Xiaoliu was carrying a hard bow, two bags of feather arrows on his shoulder, and a straight knife was stuck in his waist. Xu Dang, who was emaciated, came out on his back.
Aunt Han pulled out a horse from the stable, and the two of them supported Xu Dang on the horse together.
Although his legs are weak and his muscles are atrophied, once he is on horseback, his white hair is like frost, his face is full of age spots, and he already has Xu Kang, who is like a candle in the wind, his back is naturally straight, and his eyes are also bright, as if he is still the murderous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty back then!
Xu Dare glanced at Lu Min, who was saluting in front of him, and looked at the grass and trees that Xu Jialu was familiar with, and sighed slightly, but this fluctuation was also suppressed in an instant.
It is enough to have been dormant here for more than ten years, and to raise a grandson like Xu Le. His own road is about to be completed, and the road below should be walked by Ah Le himself.
I hope the old man will have time to meet Ah Le!
Xu Dang finally spoke: "Ah Le went out to do business, and he didn't know how to evil Wang Taishou in the clouds, and Wang Taishou sent troops to treat Xu Jialu. ”
There was still a slight noise in the crowd, but at this time everyone fell silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Xu Dang smiled faintly: "Old man, I still want to see Ah Le, I won't wait here to die, I'm going to leave soon, follow or not, you can wait for yourself, but hurry up and clean up, leave Lu Zhong temporarily, the soldiers are like washing, it's not a joke." ”
The crowd was still silent.
At this time, Han Xiaoliu had already turned the stable, led out the last two horses, and served his wife on one. Aunt Han was also neatly tied at this time, and she also carried a bow on her back and two bags of feather arrows. Border women, at a critical moment, also have to hold a bow on the wall and drop arrows downward!
Xu Dare smiled at everyone: "In the past ten years, the old man has tried his best to maintain this village, but in the end he couldn't overcome it, and it can be regarded as everyone's fate is exhausted............"
Without finishing a word, Xu Dang nodded towards Han Xiaoliu. Han Xiaoliu, who had already packed up, came up and took Xu Dang's reins and was about to leave.
But as a general, the decision must be decisive and clear, and once the decision is made, it must be executed immediately. Although I am reluctant to let this Xu Jialu and reluctant to work hard for more than ten years, what is the use of my mother-in-law being a little daughter at this time?
Although Xu Dang is old, he still has the style of the year when he is about to die!
Du Chong, who was standing dumbly under the tree, suddenly shouted: "Taigong, I'll go with you!" ”
Then Du Chong turned around and ran to fetch his horse.
The stunned crowd also stirred, and everyone looked at each other.
Although the days are difficult, Xu Jialu, who is still peaceful, can't be dispersed like this? What the hell is going on?
