Chapter Seventy-Four: Change of Mind

When Lu Li found out that something was wrong, the enemy had already besieged them in the valley, but the officer who gave the order was unaware and still ordered the army to continue to advance as planned.

If we continue, I am afraid that we will fall into the encirclement of the enemy, Lu Li gritted his teeth, clamped the horse's belly and rushed to the side of the deputy general, and said with a solemn expression: "My lord, if we continue to march according to the original plan, I'm afraid it will not be appropriate, haven't you noticed that the valley is full of people, maybe the enemy army has long been in ambush in front, just waiting for us to go over and catch it all." ”

The adjutant general glanced at him and recognized him as Lu Li, who was appreciated by the general, snorted coldly, and laughed at him: "How can there be an enemy army in the valley to ambush in advance, I see that you drank too much yesterday, and your brain is still drowsy, right?" The plan was set by us a long time ago, and we said that we were going to the designated place to ambush us, how could we change it without the general's order, and if we blame it, we will kill the head, you don't understand anything, so let's go back and listen to the order. ”

The adjutant general didn't have the patience to listen to Lu Li's advice and drove him back.

Seeing Lu Li's dejected appearance, Zhang Xiaodong and others surrounded him, and after asking about the situation, they immediately decided: "The plan must have been exposed, otherwise how could the enemy ambush us, the situation on the general's side must be also very bad, maybe the fight has started, we had better turn around and go back." ”

However, the adjutant general's new soft and hard attitude of not eating made it difficult for them.

Seeing that the road was getting narrower and narrower, Zhang Xiaodong and the others were so anxious that they took advantage of the fact that the deputy general stopped going to the toilet and directly tied up the person.

"Nonsense!" Lu Li scolded angrily.

"If we don't tie him up, if we continue to walk, we will definitely fall into the trap, and the casualties will be even more heavy!" Zhang Xiaodong is straightforward and unwilling to think about it like others, since the adjutant gave the order to make the army turn around, and the adjutant refused to give the order, he just tied people up.

He put the short knife against the neck of the adjutant and said viciously: "Let the army turn back, and I will spare your life." ”

Where has the adjutant seen such a battle, his legs are almost weak, but he still holds on and refuses to let go: "The military order is like a mountain, how can it be dispatched by you like child's play?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaodong was not afraid of his threat, and with some force in his hand, the short knife in his hand was pressed against the adjutant's neck, as long as he was willing, he could easily cut his throat, "Do you really think that your life is not important at all?" ”

Lu Li sighed, and saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he persuaded and said: "The military order also depends on the situation, now we are obviously leaking the plan, and we were ambushed by the enemy in advance, if we don't turn back as soon as possible, but move forward rigidly, it will only bring greater casualties, besides, the military strength on our side is one-third of the total strength, and the general's side will definitely be implicated if the plan is leaked, aren't you worried about the general's safety at all?" ”

The adjutant was moved by Lu Li's words: "But-"

There was still a little hesitation in his heart, Lu Li saw it, and before he could say it clearly, Lu Li gritted his teeth and said: "All the responsibility is borne by me alone." ”

With that said, the adjutant finally decided to turn around and join the army, and on the way back, they were stopped by the enemy.

"I'll just say that they want to break each one, otherwise why send people to ambush us!" Zhang Xiaodong leaned against the stone and avoided the rain of arrows, so angry that the roots of his teeth itched.

"I can't see it," Lu Li said thoughtfully, "I roughly estimated their strength on the road just now, not even half of ours, it is estimated that it is only used to delay time, and the real danger is on the general's side." ”

If the enemy uses a small part of his forces to delay them, and then takes the opportunity to hit the general's side with the main force, the general will definitely not last long.

Li Wenfeng is kind to himself, Lu Li really can't bear to let him fall into a deep predicament, and now rush over to help, maybe it's still too late.

"If you brothers are willing to believe in me, Lu Li, then listen to my commands." Lu Li frowned, told the soldiers his plan in the rain of arrows, and planned to implement it, but the plan inevitably had sacrifices, they wanted to go out, they had to have bait, there would be sacrifices, Lu Li wanted to be a bait to attract the attention of the enemy, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaodong and others.

"Lu Li, you have brains, unlike us rough people who can only slash and kill, instead of letting you stay and face the danger, it is better for us to break the queen." Zhang Xiaodong said as he patted Lu Li's shoulder and smiled, "You must live, we swore last night that we would protect you!" ”

The situation is really urgent, and Lu Li really has no other way, so he can only take a large army of people to grit his teeth and leave, before leaving, he promised Zhang Xiaodong and others in the war that he will definitely come back.

Gotta come back.

Lu Lifu and his men rushed out of the encirclement and went straight to the direction of the army to converge.

At that time, the army was fighting fiercely with the main force of the enemy, and every soldier had the determination to fight three or three, but because the gap in numbers was too large, the prosecution was inferior.

Just when they were covered in blood and began to despair, suddenly a horn sounded not far away, and then they saw their brothers rushing towards them, and their morale was suddenly high.

"It's Lu Li who brought people back!"

As if the strength had returned to their bodies, the soldiers regained their grip on their weapons and charged as the timid enemy slowly retreated.

The battle was fought badly, not only with serious casualties, but also with serious injuries to the generals, but fortunately, they still won.

The first time the enemy withdrew, Lu Li thought of not resting by himself, but riding his horse back to the valley, he stood among the corpses, shouting the names of Zhang Xiaodong and others in a trembling voice.

"Still alive!" Someone came out from behind the boulder and beckoned him to pass, "The brothers relied on the terrain to barely resist, but there were not many casualties, but Zhang Xiaodong was seriously injured again in order to cover you." ”

"It's good to be alive." Lu Li walked quickly to Zhang Xiaodong's side and held his hand tightly with one hand.

At the same time, An Xiabai suddenly shivered in the restaurant, Zhou Hedong was closest to her, and asked with concern: "Is Mrs. Lu unwell?" ”

An Xiabai shook his head and said that he was fine, and tightly grasped the letter sent by Lu Lixin in his hand.

On the heart is Lu Li's words written by stroke, the words are full of lovesickness, An Xiabai looked at the letter, thinking of someone lying on the table and writing, couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed a smile.

She missed him too.

At this moment, An Xiabai saw the guests enter the door, the family of three was happy, the mother entered the door with the child in her arms, and the father followed her, as if the mother and son in front of her were doing the same, even if there was a threshold under the feet, they were all concerned about the reminder, and let their own wife raise her feet higher, don't be tripped.

"Okay, this is outside, people are not porcelain, what are the bumps, don't be ashamed." The lady hugged the child and laughed sneeringly, as if she felt a little embarrassed.

The three of them were dressed ordinarily, and they didn't seem to be wealthy, but the atmosphere was so warm that An Xiabai felt a feeling in his heart inexplicably.

She lowered her head, stroked her lower abdomen with her soft hand, and said with a gentle expression: "If you come out, will our house be like this?" ”

An Xia was still holding the abortion prescription she had asked for last time in her white sleeves, and after a little thought, she pulled it out and tore it to shreds, and then threw it into the wastebasket.

The family who just entered the door ordered dishes, all of which were relatively cheap side dishes, perhaps because they had saved money for a long time before deciding to come to the restaurant to eat, An Xiabai thought about it, and went directly into the kitchen to ask the cook to make something suitable for pregnant women, and then went to the counter and asked Zhou Hedong to record the family's accounts in his own name.

Zhou Hedong agreed, his hands were moving, his eyes were rolling, and he asked tentatively, "Are they relatives of Mrs. Lu?" ”

An Xiabai shook her head with a smile, and said frankly that she had never known anything about her life, and then Zhou Hedong asked why she was exempted, but she smiled and did not answer.

When the meal was served, the young couple were stunned, thinking that the little maid had served the wrong dish, and called the person back: "We didn't order these two dishes just now, did you send the wrong one?" ”

"There was no mistake." An Xiabai asked the little maid to go down to work, and then sat down beside the woman, and said with a shallow smile, "The dishes on the table were ordered by me for the two of you, and I heard that these dishes are beneficial to the body of the woman who has just given birth, so I asked them to make them and send them to you?" ”

The young couple looked at each other, unable to understand An Xiabai's behavior at all: "Madam, what are you?" ”

With such a big restaurant, it shouldn't be forced to sell, right?

An Xia Bai said softly: "I just think that your family of three is happy, so as soon as my mind moved, I took it upon myself to order food, it doesn't matter, I don't charge money for food, I'll just treat you." ”

The doubts of the young couple were even worse, they didn't know An Xiabai, so they naturally couldn't understand her behavior of taking the initiative to invite guests: "Thank you Madame for your kindness, but we can't accept it." ”

An Xiabai still insisted, and they had no choice but to thank them.

"I also have a body, so when I see the child, I feel a little emotional," An Xiabai looked at the baby in the woman's arms and plucked up the courage to say, "Can you let me hug him?" ”

So it was, the woman smiled faintly and handed the child in the crook of her arm to An Xiabai's hand.

The child seemed to be sleepy, and was suddenly sent to another person's arm, but he was not afraid of life, but fell asleep in An Xiabai's arms, which made An Xiabai a little nervous, and even his voice was unconsciously lowered: "He is asleep, I am a little afraid that I will wake him up if I am clumsy." ”

The woman sneered and took the child over: "Madam, this is the first time you are pregnant, oops, women have such a level, you don't have to be nervous, when you are afraid, let your husband come over and pinch him twice." "

The man who was eating on the side was not happy, and joked with a smile that Mrs. was bullying people, and she scolded him back.

An Xiabai sat in Aunt Ah Bin and quietly watched their harmonious appearance, and her heart was in a puddle of water.

If the child speaks out safely, if Lu Li comes back safely, will there be a similar scene in his own home.

Just thinking about it made her feel like she was in the clouds.

What An Xiabai didn't notice was that just when she was looking forward to someone else's family, someone was also looking forward to her, and Zhou Hedong behind the counter stared at her intently as if he was glued to her.
