Chapter 311: My Own People
Not to mention Yang Xiao's identity and her previous kindness to them, but talking about her talents, staying in the army is also a good thing for the army, let alone repaying the favor, so after she opened her mouth and offered to stay in the army to help the army manufacture various equipment, Lu Li chose to nod without hesitation.
"You want to stay, we can't ask for it!" An Xiabai smiled and took Yang Xiao's hand and asked, "But I have a question in my heart, why do you want to stay in the army?" ”
Yang Xiao is a young lady from a rich family, and it is said that she will inherit the family business in the future, but a person from such a background wants to stay in the army and suffer hardships, which An Xiabai can't understand, in fact, she is not the only one, others also have such doubts in their hearts.
"Yes, Miss Yang, why do you want to stay in the army?"
"Because of admiration," Speaking of the reason, Yang Xiao scratched his hair a little embarrassed, and his expression was a little cramped, "When I heard about General Lu's deeds at the border pass before, I admired it in my heart, and now the world is so chaotic, I'm afraid that life will not be too easy to do business, so I want to come to the army to serve the generals and the people!" Although I am a woman and cannot go to the battlefield, I also have a heart to make contributions! ”
As soon as he said this, everyone present smiled.
Especially Qin Shuang'er, her delicate face was full of admiration: "Miss Yang is really ambitious." ”
Not long after the group talked about the old days, it was time for dinner.
When she sat down and saw the dishes on the table, Qin Shuang'er's expression was a little complicated.
Although life has been a little hard along the way, but because of the common news, she has not suffered too much, at least not much in terms of eating, so now when she sees that the table is not good-looking, she knows at a glance that it is not a good dish, Qin Shuang'er is in a somewhat complicated mood.
"Mrs. Lu, are you going to eat these here?"
A few dishes on the table are used to feed pigs in Qin Shuang'er's small village!
An Xiabai saw her thoughts, shook her head helplessly, and said, "It's very good to be able to grow enough food here, where are there any other requirements?" If you can't eat, eat some food, and when you're free, I'll go to the back kitchen to help you make something delicious. Alas, today I should have cooked a good meal for you myself, but I was in a hurry, and I really didn't have the effort, so I had to-"
Before she finished speaking, Qin Shuang'er shook her head and said that she couldn't eat it!
"Since I'm busy, Mrs. Lu doesn't have to cook herself, how can I be so picky, just have something to eat." In order to prove herself, Qin Shuang'er even picked up a mouthful of food and put it in her mouth, and raised a smiling face and said, "It's really not that I can't eat it." ”
"Then you-"
Qin Shuang'er hurriedly explained: "I was just a little shocked just now, I didn't know the situation here, I feel sorry for Mrs. Lu suffering here." Having said this, Qin Shuang'er couldn't help frowning, "When I was in the capital and in the restaurant, did Mrs. Lu want to eat?" Now that only a short period of time has passed, the situation has become very different, I, I really feel sorry for Mrs. Lu. ”
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
An Xiabai didn't feel sorry for her, she was a good girl, she was involved in her own affairs, so that now she can't go home, and she also feels sorry for her.
"Okay, don't talk about this," Lu Li waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's not easy to meet, it's not good to always say these sad words, just follow what Mrs. said, and when you are free for a while, Mrs. will cook a good meal and wash the dust, we have known each other for so long, so we don't need to see outside." ”
Qin Shuang'er's lips moved slightly, as if she was still trying to say something, but before she could say anything, Chang Wen, who was sitting next to her, opened her mouth.
"Seeing that Shuang'er gets along well with Mrs. Lu's side, my heart is steady."
From the beginning to the present, Chang Wen has been sitting silently next to him, so after he suddenly spoke, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on him.
Among them, the strongest reaction was Qin Shuang'er: "Brother Chang, what do you mean by this...... Do you want to go? “
Chang Wen raised his eyes and smiled at her: "When I first came to the border gate, I was mainly worried about you, but now that I have sent you over safely, of course I have to leave." ”
"Can't you just not go?" Qin Shuang'er said with a depressed face, "Now the situation in the capital is so complicated, no one knows if you are safe, not to mention, there is no one in the capital who can reflect you, you leave like this, I can't let go of it." ”
Just as Chang Wen was worried that something would happen to her when she came to the border pass, Qin Shuang'er was not a lot worried about him.
When the two of them spoke, all the expressions fell in An Xiabai's eyes, she smiled faintly, gently hooked Lu Li's hand, and lowered her voice to talk to him.
"When I was in the capital before, I felt that there was something between Changwen and Shuang'er, and now it can be regarded as confirmation."
Lu Li also laughed.
In such a world, feelings can be said to be the only warmth in the cold wind.
"Why do you have to go back to the capital?" He thought to himself that his brother, who he had often heard before, had helped him, and now his younger brother should naturally take care of it, so he smiled and said, "It's better to stay in Lingcheng, although the environment in Lingcheng is not as good as in the capital, but it's better to be safe, isn't it?" ”
"I don't want to go back to the capital," Chang Wen was persuaded by both sides, and Chang Wen was a little helpless, "The reason why I want to leave is because I want to run errands." Those people are still waiting for my news, they are not only distributed at the border gates, but also in other places, I have to arrange it. ”
I often heard that I wanted those people to also submit to Lu Li.
Even if he didn't say it explicitly, with Lu Li's cleverness, this thought was easily guessed by him.
"Since it's a business matter, then I won't keep you, when does Master Chang plan to leave? Would you like to rest here for two more days? ”
"This-" Chang Wen didn't answer Lu Li's question directly, but first looked at Qin Shuang'er's face, and saw that she was looking up at herself, feeling slightly warm, so she smiled and nodded, "It's a tiring journey, I'm really sleepy, I want to stay for two more days and wait until the day after tomorrow to set off." ”
Stay for two more days, so as to see how Qin Shuang'er is doing here, and also make yourself feel more at ease.
When she heard Chang Wen say that she was going to stay in Lingcheng for two more days, Qin Shuang'er was obviously relieved: "Since I am going to go to the office, I won't keep it, but Brother Chang, you must come back in the future, I will wait for you in Lingcheng." ”
"Okay." Chang Wen's face was a little more gentle.
Because Lingcheng came to the capital, as soon as the news spread, all the soldiers were very happy, Nan Hui thought that the recent drills have been a little frequent, presumably the soldiers are in a nervous mood, so they took this opportunity to hold a welcome party, on the second night of Qin Shuang'er and the others arrived, on this night, the soldiers can let go of their stomachs to drink, or they can find someone to compete - Nan Hui in order to mobilize their enthusiasm, specially made a ring, just to let them compete.
Looking at the figure fighting back and forth in the ring, Lu Li slowly walked to Chang Wen's side.
Chang Wen was quite surprised by his arrival: "Isn't General Lu talking to his wife over there?" ”
Wait a while," Lu Li smiled, in private, he was different from his usual appearance, a little less calm and a little more easy-going, "Lord Chang, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort for you to contact those secret stakes of King Li this time, right?" ”
"It's not necessarily a hassle, it's just a bit of a hassle." Chang Wen smiled, and casually accepted the wine glass handed by Lu Li, "I haven't been in contact with them for a long time, I'm afraid that if I go, they don't want to recognize me, after all, everyone wants to live a peaceful life, and my departure means that they can't continue to live a peaceful life incognito, and there will definitely be some thorns against me at that time." ”
It's obviously a troublesome thing, but when it comes out of Chang Wen's mouth, it doesn't seem to be tight at all, and the wind is light, which makes Lu Li quite moved.
The more casual the tone, the more serious it is, often talking to himself like this, I'm afraid I don't want Qin Shuang'er to know this, right?
"Master Chang plans to go alone?"
Chang Wen didn't expect him to ask like this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile: "Of course it's going alone." ”
"The hidden piles that were planted at the border pass before are now in the army, if Master Chang wants to go, it is better to bring them over, so that they can take care of each other."
"You ......," Chang Wen's eyes widened, as if he had heard something terrible, and his face was full of astonishment, "aren't you afraid that I will take them and never return?" ”
Although those dark piles have been on Lu Li's side for a while, after all, they used to be the people of King Li, and they were their direct bosses before, they must be more willing to follow them than Lu Li, such a group of people, is Lu Li not at ease at all?
It's normal to smell yourself too relieved.
"General Lu is not afraid that I will take them back to the capital and defect to King Li from now on?"
Lu Li chuckled, and his tone was very determined: "You won't." ”
As for why it wouldn't be, and why he had such trust in Chang Wen, Lu Li didn't say it explicitly, and before Chang Wen could ask the reason carefully, someone behind him gently patted him on the shoulder and interrupted his words.
"You are?"
When I looked back and saw a familiar and unfamiliar face, I was a little confused.
"Nanjuni." Someone smiled and reported his name.
As soon as he said this, Chang Wen immediately remembered who he was, he had seen this person when he visited Li Wenfeng's mansion at night before. No wonder I didn't see him following Li Wenfeng when I was in the capital before, it turned out that he ran to the border pass to defect to Lu Li, judging from the armor on his body, this person seems to have a high status in Lu Li's army.
Chang Wen thought for a moment and wanted to bow his hand, but Nan Hui grabbed his wrist and said with a smile: "We are all people from the rivers and lakes, and if we don't follow the rigid etiquette of literati, we don't need to fix these vain." ”
Chang Wen was stunned for a moment, and also smiled at him: "I didn't expect General Daonan to be such a heroic and hearty person." ”
"It's not heroic and hearty, it's just that I don't like too cumbersome things after staying in the barracks for a long time," Nan Hui's eyes swirled around Chang Wen, and he asked with a smile after a while, "I was quite interested in Chang Daren's skills when I was in the capital before, and now it's hard to meet, and it's still in this kind of good time, why don't we have a competition?" ”
