Chapter 451: On the Way Home

Li Su knew Fang Lao Wu after Cheng Di Mo Tian Renhui led the army to aid Xizhou.

Before this, Fang Lao Wu was just an inconspicuous fire leader in the Right Guard Cavalry Battalion, an ordinary veteran who was thrown in the crowd and couldn't make any waves, and such veterans abound in the cavalry camp.

Fang Lao Wu is not outstanding, he can even be said to be a little ugly, he is fifty years old, and he is said to be very experienced in the battle formation, but he is still only a fire chief, like a dazed veteran who is messing around in the barracks. changed to the previous Li Su, no matter what, he would not notice such an ordinary veteran who did not have any brilliance.

However, it is such an ordinary veteran, but at a critical juncture, he risked his life, bravely took a step forward, like an old cow who did not measure his strength, protected the weak Xu Mingzhu behind him, and did not hesitate to unload the burden on her shoulders and carry it on his shoulders.

It is no exaggeration to say that Fang Lao Wu is Xu Mingzhu's benefactor and the benefactor of the Li family.

After the reinforcements broke the enemy outside the city, Xu Mingzhu told the story eloquently, Li Su deliberately went to the camp, thanked Fang Lao Wu, and was very persistent in asking Fang Lao Wu from Jiang Quan as his personal guard.

On the other hand, the guard is also the dead soldier of the main general, and will not hesitate to block the sword and arrow for the main general at any time, not only to have rich experience in fighting and fighting, but also to have a loyal and unique loyalty, such a person is not easy to find, and if you find it, it is your second life.

Li Su's luck is good, from Xu Mingzhu's narrative. He knew that Fang Lao Wu was a person worthy of entrusting life and death, such a person must be retained, even if he was old and physically weak, he would still be a barrier for the Li family in the future.

"After returning to Chang'an, I came directly to Taiping Village. The Li family has 30 acres of fertile land in the east of the village, all of which are given to you, and then you are equipped with two ploughing cows, build a big house, and want to marry your mother-in-law. If you want anything, just ask the Li family. Li Su made a promise to Fang Lao Wu.

Fang Lao Wu was a little flattered, and grinned: "Li Xianzi is not polite, he has tormented the old man, and he will live in Taiping Village in the future, and he will live next to the Li family, and he has lived in the sword and blood for most of his life, and the old man has no other strengths." There is only one craft of killing, as long as Li Xianzi does not dislike it. The old man will be the Li family's village in the future, and he will spend his old age with the big tree of the Li family on his back, if there are outsiders who are not good for the Li family in the future, although the old man is old, the knife in his hand is not ambiguous. ”

Li Su laughed and changed his words at the right time. said: "Okay, it is a blessing for the Li family to be able to get Uncle Fang, and everyone will be their own people in the future, so don't be so polite." ”

Fang Lao Wu hurriedly said in fear: "County...... No. Shao Langjun will never call the villain uncle in the future, you are a nobleman, this kind of title will really break the villain's life, and you can call the villain the fifth in the future......"

Li Su smiled and humbly conceded a few words, but found that Fang Lao Wu's forehead gradually oozed sweat, and his expression was quite anxious, only then did he realize that Fang Lao Wu was not polite to him, he really believed in the theory of folding longevity, people in this era are exquisite, the class concept is deep-rooted, and they will never kick their noses in the face, nobles are too polite to them, it is really a torture for them.

Li Su hesitated for a moment and tried to call "Old Five".

Fang Lao Wu turned his worries into joy, and said "hey" very happily, looking as happy as a father.

Xu Mingzhu followed behind Li Su, and when she saw that her benefactor was so valued by her husband, her eyes couldn't help showing joy, and her big apricot eyes gradually bent into a crescent moon, bright and bright.

Immediately, Xu Mingzhu didn't know what to think of suddenly, his eyes quickly dimmed, and a little sadness appeared in his eyes, looking at the husband who kept chatting and laughing with Fang Lao Wu in front of him, and sighed faintly.

Seem...... There is still a matter on my mind that has not been resolved, and I really don't know how to open my mouth about this matter.

*****************************************************************

The team walked very slowly, thousands of people walked along the Silk Road for half a month, there are still hundreds of miles away from Shazhou, and after Shazhou, they have to walk hundreds of miles to reach Yumen Pass, and only after entering Yumen Pass can they be counted as entering Guanzhong, that is to say, the distance they have walked at present is not even one-fifth.

Fortunately, there are thousands of soldiers along the way, passing through large and small oases along the way, and now the Silk Road is still not peaceful, even if there is a good news that Hou Junji has destroyed the country of Qiuzi, the bandits are still looting on the Silk Road, and it is said that the means are more cruel than before, the bandits seem to know that their good days are numbered, after the Tang Dynasty Keding the Western Regions, they will immediately free their hands to clear the Silk Road, so they seize the last dark days before dawn to collect money and loot, and meet day and night to discuss the direction of transformation.

In the past half a month, when Li Su saw again and again the corpses of caravans that had been killed after being looted by bandits on the Silk Road were lying in the middle of the desert, some of the bones had been gnawed clean by vultures, and some were still bloody and dead with no place to bury.

Once or twice, when he couldn't remember how many times he saw the corpse of the murdered caravan, Li Su finally became angry.

There is also a way to steal, if you rob money, you have to let people live, or simply kill people, and you don't take any money, it is reasonable, but if you rob the wealth and wipe out the whole caravan, this can't be said, there is no such easy reason in the world, it is said that the Silk Road is a bloody road paved with blood and white bones, and the saying is the law, after really seeing the tragic situation of one caravan after another, Li Su was still angry after all.

After camping at night, Li Su found Tian Renhui and discussed it very seriously for half the night, and Tian Renhui promised to temporarily send 2,000 soldiers from the team to go deep into the desert, sweeping all the way to clear the bandit dens on the Silk Road.

After discussion, that night, the two thousand Yumen Pass soldiers in the team left the camp and galloped into the vast night.

The remaining 3,000 people continued their march towards Shazhou.

The road is still boring and boring, fortunately, there is no pressure on this return trip, the mood is much easier than when I went to Xizhou to take office, all around are the robes and brothers who live and die together to defend the city and fight the enemy, and everyone is gradually familiar with each other for many days, plus there are Fang Lao Wu in the team from time to time to sing Qin dialect with his voice, rough and heroic singing, vulgar lyrics, can attract the team robes to smile, everyone is a layman, elegant things are not good to play, vulgar things can resonate with everyone, Even Li Su sometimes couldn't help but be amused by Fang Lao Wu's Qin tone, and after laughing, he fell into deep self-blame and reviewed his character and discipline.

With Li Su by her side, Xu Mingzhu became the submissive little woman again, silently following Li Su as if she was invisible, and bringing hot food to Li Su when camping every day, not only that, but on the way, she fanned Li Su when it was hot, covered Li Su with a mattress when it was cold at night, and beat Li Su's legs when she was tired...... Busy back and forth like a hard-working little bee.

Although it is a pitiful product of feudal dregs education, Li Su still can't help but feel that the feudal society is really lovely, but after many times, even Li Su feels unbearable, and persuades her again and again that she doesn't have to do this kind of thing that a subordinate maid does, but Xu Mingzhu still goes her own way.

The desert temperature difference at night is very large, and it is wickedly cold.

Li Su and Xu Mingzhu slept in the same tent, although the estrangement and strangeness between husband and wife are becoming less and less, but the two still haven't taken the last step after all, first, they still feel that the life of husband and wife still needs to be run-in, and second, both husband and wife are the first time, it is sacred and cannot be peeped at, thousands of rough men around the tent are snoring, teaching the two how to do things? Someone overheard something, it is like being green, so no matter how anxious the husband and wife are, they have to return to Chang'an, and then talk about it after they return to Chang'an, and Li Su has no obligation to let thousands of rough men listen to the movement outside.

The two slept in a tent, but they slept far away, each covered with a mattress, which can be described as respectful to each other, not half a step beyond the thunder pool.

Tonight is a bit evil, and neither of them seems to be able to sleep, tossing and turning, and they don't know what they are thinking.

Li Su thought about things that were more complicated.

Seeing that he is going to return to Chang'an, he is happy to return to his hometown, but the grievances left at the beginning cannot be avoided, the grudge with the prince, the friendship with the kings of Chang'an, and Dongyang, who has become a Taoist aunt, etc., many people or things will emerge as soon as they return to Chang'an.

In addition to this, Li Su thought of more. His identity is different from others, the historical trends and events that others don't know, how much can he still remember, count the days, well, the martial sister who doesn't lose her eyebrows should have entered the Taiji Palace, right? Now that Sister Wu is not very old, the deep palace should still be in the stage of just coming out of the novice village and constantly fighting monsters and upgrading, this, I won't bother her, I wish her an early change of job and an invincible opponent all over the server.

There is also a His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Li Shimin's reproductive ability is extremely strong, and he gave birth to more than 20 sons, this seemingly inconspicuous little Zhengtai, no one knows that he is a hidden version of the big boss, more than ten years later, the princes fought for the throne of the bloody head, and it fell on his head inexplicably, Li Su made up his mind, there are so many princes in Chang'an City, it doesn't matter who offends anyone, but this His Royal Highness the King of Jin must not be offended, otherwise it really can't get along with his head......

There is also when he left Chang'an, he secretly arranged the gold medal to the side of the prince Li Chengqian, and he was a small undercover agent, I don't know if he got the prince's favor, after crossing over, history has more or less changed, and I don't know if Li Chengqian's taste has changed, can Li Su wait until the day when the chrysanthemums in the East Palace bloom......

It's really not easy to mix in Chang'an, you have to worry about everything, how can you set up a chess game with an innocent little virgin? Can't figure it out......

Thinking wildly in the middle of the night, Li Su's thoughts were very chaotic, tossing and turning, and let out a slight sigh from time to time.

Not far away, Xu Mingzhu's voice came faintly.

"Husband, are you sleeping?"

Li Su half-closed his eyes and said: "I slept, I slept very deeply, and I was talking in my sleep......" (To be continued.) )
