Because the bandits relaxed their vigilance, so Lu Li and they easily sneaked into the cottage, while the bandits drank to celebrate the success of the fire tonight, they also set a fire in the cottage, and the other soldiers who had been waiting outside for a long time saw the fire, so they joined Lu Li and others inside, and quickly rushed into the cottage.

The mountain bandits who were fighting the fire were taken by surprise, and many of them were already held by soldiers several times larger than them before they even had their weapons, and they could no longer move.

As the fire spreads more and more in the cottage, the sound of people screaming and wailing is ensuing.

The women who had been taken captive from all over the country by the bandits were particularly vulnerable in this chaos, or rather war.

"Please don't be alarmed, we are not mountain bandits, nor are we one of the many enemies they have set up outside, but officials sent by the imperial court to suppress bandits to save you." Lu Li, who was afraid that the chaos would escalate again and lead to the destruction of his victory, had to stand up to appease the women's emotions, and he tried to soothe them in a gentle voice as much as possible, "We will not hurt you. ”

The sky-high fire shone on him, setting him off more and more differently from the others.

The women saw his handsome face by the light of the fire, and soon fell silent.

Some people squatted on the ground, covered their faces and cried loudly.

Exterminating the mountain bandits is a good thing for them, but there are also bad elements in it, because most of them are captured by mountain bandits, and some of them have even been locked up in the cottage for several years, and now the cottage is destroyed, which means that they will return to their hometown, and the gossip will bring them secondary harm.

Lu Li felt pitiful for them, but there was nothing he could do, after all, he was just an ordinary person and couldn't control other people's mouths.

"We'll take you back with us."

After leaving this promise, Lu Li turned around and left to check the battle situation.

Because he was in a hurry, he didn't pay much attention to his surroundings, which caused someone to stare at him without noticing.

The woman who stared at Lu Li's figure was called nonsense, and she was one of the women who was captured by the mountain bandits, but her situation was completely different from others, her husband had died a few years ago, and now she has no children and no daughters under her knees, and there is no relatives in the world.

The people around her were crying bitterly, but the only one who didn't shed tears was talking nonsense, which made the old woman Li who was standing beside her feel puzzled.

"Why are you panicked at all when others cry, are you really not afraid?"

"A little scared, but not so scared."

Hu Hua pulled the broken hair on his sideburns, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

The army's success in exterminating the bandits meant that they had access to food from the bandits, and with the women who accompanied them, the food was significantly better on the way back than when they came.

Seeing that when the celebration was relaxed, the soldiers had bright smiles on their faces, and Lu Li couldn't help laughing.

He thought that he should go to the camp at this time to sum up the battle, so he didn't drink much of the wine that others had given him, and he was a little drunk because he couldn't drink enough, so he turned around and went back to his room.

Before entering the door, Lu Li's footsteps paused, and he suddenly looked up and looked around.

I don't know what's going on, he always has the feeling of being stared at, but when he turns his head to look, he doesn't see anything.

There was silence all around, except for the occasional sound of soldiers celebrating not far away.

Maybe it's a delusion?

Lu Li lowered his head and walked in with a frown.

What he didn't notice was that in a dead corner of the camp tent, Hu Hua was holding his chest and gasping for breath, it was really too dangerous just now, if he hadn't reacted quickly, maybe he would have been seen by Lu Li!

Hu Hua adjusted her breathing while looking in the direction of the tent.

Lu Li is the best-looking man she has ever seen, not only better looking than her husband who died earlier, but also better looking than those bandits in the cottage, I heard that he is still a general, if he can hook up with him, he can straighten his waist when he goes out in the future, and more importantly, those women who always like to talk about her behind her back will also envy her!

Hu Hua fantasized about the appearance of Lu Li with herself, and thought that Lu Li had drunk a lot of wine today, and couldn't help but be happy.

"The mountain bandits' wine is very strong, and ordinary people will get drunk when they drink a little, and when I looked at the general just now, it seems that he is also drunk, and it is a good opportunity for me to do it!"

She held her breath and walked step by step to the front of Lu Li's tent.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he secretly opened the camp tent and walked in.

Hu Hua thought that Lu Li was drunk and lying in bed at this time, and could only do whatever he wanted, but when he entered the door, he found that something was wrong.

The glittering sword was swung out of the shadows by a bony hand, and landed right next to her neck.

It's just a little bit, but if Lu Li uses a little more force, Hu Hua's neck will be cut.

"Ahh

Hu Hua was just a helper in the kitchen when he was in the cottage before, where had he seen such a terrible scene, he screamed, and his legs were so weak that he sat on the ground.

The panic and fear on her face were very obvious, and Lu Li couldn't help but start to doubt her previous inference.

This woman looks very timid, just seeing the sword is already frightened, no matter how you look at martial arts, she really is the remnant of the mountain bandits?

Lu Li expressed deep doubts about this.

"Who are you, why did you sneak into my tent, and who ordered you to come?"

Hu Hua was so frightened that she couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Didn't see the sword?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows, took a few steps back and kept a relatively safe distance, and then withdrew the long sword into the scabbard.

Hu Hua eased up, and the first sentence was a tearful tone: "General, I didn't mean to hurt you when I entered the camp, even if I borrowed a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to mess around!" ”

"Then why did you come in, you don't know that the commander's tent is a military camp?"

"I don't know." Hu Hua shook his head, raised his face and pretended to be pitiful, "I just heard that the general was drunk today, and I was worried that something would happen to you, so I just came in to take a look, and I didn't have anything else in mind!" ”

Lu Li snorted coldly, his attitude was obviously disbelieving.

At this time, the soldiers who were frightened by Hu Hua's screams rushed one after another, but because there was no order from Lu Li, none of them dared to rush in, and only dared to stand outside and ask loudly: "General, but there are spies infiltrated in the camp tent?" ”

Lu Li glanced at Hu Hua, who was bowing his head and crying, out of consideration for the reputation of the other party, as well as for the consideration of the soldiers' tense spirits for many days, he said that the camp was fine, and let them go to their own affairs first.

The soldiers outside looked at each other, and although they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't think too much about it.

The people soon dispersed in twos and threes.

Just when Lu Li wanted to continue interrogating Hu Hua, someone rushed in without knowing whether he was alive or dead: "Hu Hua, I've been looking for you for a long time, why did you come to this place, come back with me!" ”

Old woman Li took Hu Hua's hand and walked out.

"Stop." Lu Li secretly sneered in his heart, his tent is not a vegetable market, where is the place where they can come and go whenever they want?

If you don't make today's events clear, no one will want to leave.

Old woman Li's eyes swirled back and forth between Hu Hua and Lu Li, and finally she knelt down with a thud and said loudly: "General, although Hu Hua trespassed into the camp, she is sincere to you, these days she has been telling me that she is tempted by the general, but she doesn't dare to come out to confess, because she knows that her identity is very different from the general, and today is just a moment of help." ”

Old woman Li's words echoed in the camp tent for a long time, and the atmosphere quickly solidified.

Seeing this, Hu Hua hurriedly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed with a bang: "General, I really have too much affection, so I can't help it for a while!" ”

Watching their singing and harmonizing performances, Lu Li sneered: "I already have a wife. ”

"It's nothing, there are more people with three wives and four concubines in ancient times, what if you marry one more concubine, general, although Hu Hua is a beauty, but she has been married, she must not care about her identity."

"Yes, I don't care, as long as I can stay by the general's side to repay the general's kindness, I can do Hu Hua as a year and a horse!"

Lu Li was silent for a moment, and for a while he didn't know what words to use to describe the self-confidence of Mrs. Li and Hu Hua, Hu Hua's appearance was just delicate compared to his wife, not good-looking, there were beauties in the family, why did he want to provoke the rotten peach blossoms outside?

"But I'm not going to take a concubine."

Hu Hua was stunned for a moment, and tears continued to pour out like a flood that burst the embankment: "General, do you dislike me for being taken away by mountain bandits?" Although I have been in the cottage for a while, I have always been in charge of the kitchen, and the bandits have never touched me, I am clean! ”

Old woman Li also helped to speak for Hu Hua: "You can pity her and accept her, otherwise we really don't know what we should do in the future!" ”

As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes.

Lu Li's brows tightened more and more: "Are you threatening me?" "

Since the bandits were exterminated, the women have been following the army, and they have their own duties, and the most important person in the position is the old woman Li, who is good at her skills, and almost all the delicious meals that the soldiers eat these days are made under her hands.

If Mrs. Li leaves, many officers and soldiers in the army may be a little unhappy, and it is by virtue of this that Mrs. Li dares to jump out to help Hu Hua speak.

She was flustered when her true purpose was exposed, but she still relied on her identity to pretend to be pitiful: "My general, you really wronged me, I helped Hu Hua speak purely because she was pitiful, her life was miserable, her husband died at a young age, and not long after her parents and brothers were killed by the mountain bandits, she was taken to the mountains to suffer, and from time to time she was beaten by the mountain bandits, and now there are still wounds on her body, if you see it with your own eyes, general, maybe you will pity her!" ”

Hu Hua was still kowtowing, and there was already a big bag on her forehead.

The performance of the two of them can be said to be seamless, if they refuse, maybe they will cause trouble, why don't you agree for the time being?

Lu Li weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and nodded after a while: "You stay first, as for whether people will accept it or not, let's wait until after returning to Beijing." ”
