Chapter Seventy-One: This Kindness Is Unforgettable
Chu Xin is the daughter of the governor of Chongzhou, so after she died, she was not buried in that remote mountain forest casually like other people, and simply piled up a grave bag and finished the matter.
Her father, Chu Yixi, built a small garden for her, and the design of it was also built in imitation of the design of the house, which can be said to be the second garden of the Chongzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.
Chu Xin was buried inside, Chu Yixi couldn't bear her daughter to leave home, but Mr. Feng Shui said that he couldn't bury the deceased in his own residence, that was a big murder.
So he came up with this method, so that Chu Xin's undead could feel like they were going home underground.
These things are just tricks, since Chu Yixi was locked up, no one has taken care of this exclusive garden of Chu Xin.
It can be said that Lu Mingshuang today is the first person to step into Chu Xin's garden since Chu Yixi's family fell into the middle of the road.
Throughout the area, the place where the flowers should have been there has become overgrown with weeds, and it has attracted uninvited guests such as rats and stray animals.
In the middle of this dilapidated garden, in front of a raised grave, there is a sign - the tomb of the beloved daughter Chu Xin. In front of the tomb plaque, the original tributes were either already stinking, or they were gnawed by some animal.
Lu Mingshuang sighed and squatted down to clean up the garden for her. First throw the tributes outside, and replace them with some new food she brought, including fruits, pastries, etc.
Subsequently, she also put a pillar of incense on Chu Xin and burned some paper money for her. Watching the smoke slowly rise and drift in the air, Lu Mingshuang muttered to himself: "Chu Xin, maybe you don't want to see me, but I'm still here." ”
"You must be lonely when you are alone here. By accident, you died in my place and gave me a life, and I will never forget this kindness. But I don't know how to repay you, or rather, to make it up to you......"
Lu Mingshuang was quiet, and she didn't come back to her senses until the paper money was burned, and said: "I have something to do today, so I'll leave first, and I will come to visit you every year in the future." ”
With that, she picked up the empty basket and held it in her hand, then put on her cloak again and left the place.
On this side, Lu Mingshuang was just about to go to purchase medicinal materials, and on the other hand, the fine work sent by Lu Mingshuang to investigate had successfully escaped from the barracks and returned to the Lu family.
The man went to the courtyard where Lu Mingshuang was first, but found that she was not inside, so he turned around and ran to Lu Li to report the situation.
At this time, Lu Li and Lu Mingting were enjoying tea and talking about things, and Na Xizuo walked in and saluted the two and said, "See King Yuan'an, Lu Gongzi." ”
Lu Li didn't know the identity of the other party, and asked, "Are you ......?"
"It's the person sent by Mingshuang to investigate the Wuhuan military camp, right?" Hearing Lu Mingting's inquiry, the man nodded and said, "It's exactly below." ”
"Then what do you have to say?"
"Yes, the little disguise successfully blended into Wu Huan's military camp, and coincidentally overheard Wu Huan's secret plan. The Wuhuan sub-military camp is now short of money, military rations and medicinal herbs, and they are secretly colluding with Chongzhou Prefecture Mu Chu Baoxi. ”
"Chu Yuanxi seems to have promised to provide them with military rations and medicinal herbs, but those things are in Chongzhou, and they plan to break Chongzhou today and get military rations!"
Lu Li sighed twice, put down the teacup in his hand and touched his beard, and said: "It seems that Chongzhou is also going to be unstable now, this Wuhuan can really do anything." ”
Lu Mingting said: "Right now, Chu Yuanxi will not make a deal with Wuhuan in vain, maybe Wuhuan promised him something?" ”
Lu Mingting raised his eyes to look at Na Xiaozuo, as if waiting for him to give an answer, Na Xiaozuo shook his head and said, "This little one is not clear......
Lu Li looked around and always felt that he was short of money, and suddenly he realized that he had not seen Lu Mingshuang since breakfast.
"Where's Mingshuang?" He asked.
The subordinate also truthfully reported to Lu Li: "Miss went to Chongzhou, saying that she was going to pay tribute to the daughter of the governor of Chongzhou. ”
Lu Li's hand touching his beard was forced, his eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "What did you say?" Mingshuang went to Chongzhou! ”
"Yes, Miss left early in the morning."
At this time, Lu Li was on fire, he suddenly stood up, pointed at the maid and scolded: "Why didn't you report to us when she went out!" ”
The maid was also frightened, and suddenly she hurriedly admitted her mistake and said, "It was the young lady who told me that if the prince and Lu Gongzi didn't ask, don't talk about it." ”
Lu Li still wanted to scold something, but he couldn't say it, and a thousand words turned into a heavy sigh.
This Lu Mingshuang is really a coincidence, as soon as she left with her front foot, she came to report that Chongzhou was not safe today, and Wuhuan was going to attack the city.
Now, according to the time, Lu Mingshuang has probably been in the city for a while, and Wuhuan must have been ready to go in the past.
Lu Li was restless, he kept pacing back and forth in the room, and ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to find Mingshuang back!" ”
This sentence happened to be heard by the passing Youzhou Mu, he saw the people who were running out in a hurry, and saw Lu Li, who was very impatient, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, Lord, what's going on?" ”
"Cough, Mingshuang, that little girl, runs blindly every day!" It is rare to see Lu Li get angry with such a gentle person, but he is really anxious and angry now.
Lu Mingting simply told Youzhou Mu what happened, and even Youzhou Mu's face became a little ugly.
"Lord Wang, don't worry, it's not to blame Mingshuang for this, she didn't expect this to happen today. I will immediately send Shen Yu to pick up Mingshuang back, and you can wait at the house. ”
Youzhou Mu's order was quickly issued to Shen Yu, and Shen Yu's whole heart fluttered when he heard that Lu Mingshuang was in danger. Originally, he was still practicing martial arts, he quickly changed into his armor, and then rode a horse with his subordinates, and walked towards the direction of Chongzhou at the speed of a block.
At this moment, Wu Huan's side was also full of morale, and the earth-shattering sound of drums inspired every soldier present. They stood tall and tall, waiting for the order from Wu Huan, the leader at the front of the troops.
Wu Huan saw that the time was almost up, and gave an order: "Let's go!" Heading in the direction of Chongzhou! Today, food and herbs will be retrieved! ”
"Yes, General!"
While Shen Yu was in a hurry, Wuhuan was ready to leave his camp and came to Chongzhou, while Lu Mingshuang was still walking slowly on the streets of Chongzhou, looking for a suitable pharmacy to buy medicine.
Everyone in Chongzhou didn't know that a disaster was coming, and blood-colored clouds were already hanging over the sky of Chongzhou.
