Chapter 12 Risking Death to Borrow Food
In the face of the harassment of the barbarians from time to time, Lu Mingshuang and Zhou Mu resisted day by day with a small number of soldiers, but they were not as good as day by day.
During the lunch break, Lu Mingshuang frowned slightly, very worried about the current situation, "Zhou Mu, how many days does it take to get from here to the capital?" ”
Zheng Tong hesitated, although he was a little puzzled, he still replied: "If you are fast, it will take five days, if it is slow, it will take about ten days and half a month." ”
Congyu's fingers tapped lightly on the wooden table, and Lu Mingshuang's brows became more and more solemn, "Zhou Mu, it has been more than ten days since the calculation of the days, but we have not received any news, the only possibility is that the messenger has not arrived in the capital." ”
Zheng Tong's eyes darkened, and he was a little nervous: "The county lord means the messenger ......?" ”
Lu Mingshuang nodded at him, "The most likely is that the messenger was killed on the way." ”
Zheng Tong was stunned for a moment, frowning, "Then what should I do now?" ”
At present, they are besieged in the city by Wuhuan, and the food and grass in the city have been exhausted, if they continue, they will sooner or later run out of food.
So the most important thing at the moment is food, as long as there is food, they will not fall under the tiger's mouth.
After a pause, Lu Mingshuang rolled his eyes and said, "I can only borrow grain, and I must borrow grain." ”
Zheng Tong's eyes were covered with some doubts, "But who will lend us grain now?" Moreover, the barbarians were besieged, and it was too dangerous and difficult to get out of the city. ”
Lu Mingshuang knew what Zheng Tong was worried about, but now he was ready to send it.
"The state pastor doesn't need to worry too much, I have already thought of a countermeasure, and I will only wait to go out of the city to borrow grain."
If she doesn't take this risk, I'm afraid no one will want to go, so she simply takes it.
"The state pastor only needs to hold on for a few more days, give me three days, and I will definitely borrow grain and grass."
Seeing that Lu Mingshuang was so serious and rigorous, Zheng Tong nodded and said yes.
Lu Mingshuang turned around and walked out of the house to discuss countermeasures with Shen Yu.
As the twilight was getting late, the two of them each changed into black night clothes and covered their faces in unison.
Lu Mingshuang leaned into Shen Yu's ear, and the warm breath sprayed on his ears through the masked black scarf, causing a crimson color.
"In a moment, you rush out with this team of men and horses to distract Wu Huan's attention, remember to deal with them, and don't expose our purpose too quickly."
Shen Yu's eyes gradually became serious, "Don't worry, the county lord, I will not disgrace my life." ”
Shen Yu rushed out of the city with his soldiers, and Lu Mingshuang watched quietly from behind and quietly followed.
As long as she can go out of the city, she will be sure to borrow grain and grass.
……
Shen Yu's suddenness caught the barbarians a little off guard, but after all, it was a well-trained team, and they immediately eased up.
It was another flesh-and-blood battle, and Lu Mingshuang once again remembered the scene that night, and her heart was a little disgusting and clogged.
Quickly calming down, she rushed through the side path, not daring to stop at all along the way, for fear of being discovered by the barbarians.
In the distance, a figure in military uniform was getting closer and closer, and Lu Mingshuang panicked when he saw it clearly.
Is she going to be planted in the hands of Wuhuan again?
Her eyes were awe-inspiring, and she tightened her horse's belly, intending to rush straight over.
And when Lu Mingshuang was about to approach Wu Heng, Wu Heng frowned almost imperceptibly.
This familiar look......
Is it the woman who calculated him more than once?
A playful smile appeared in the corner of Wu Heng's eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so bold." ”
Lu Mingshuang was shocked, he didn't expect him to recognize her through the face towel, how could this man be so terrifying?
Lu Mingshuang pretended not to hear, and continued to ride forward, passing by Wu Heng's side, but his heart was beating in his chest.
Wuhuan pulled the horse and turned around, but he didn't chase after it, just looked at the figure that was obviously thin but unconsciously revealed tenacity.
He has met so many women, some gentle and charming, but he has never seen such a stubborn woman as her, who is not afraid of life and death, and this momentum is not inferior to that of men.
Such a character really surprised him, if it was a man, he would definitely have to recruit under his command and cultivate it well, but it was a pity......
It wasn't until the figure disappeared into the distance that Wu Heng withdrew his gaze, clamped the horse's belly and ran towards Youzhou City.
