Chapter 366: Can't let go
The news that Lu Li and An Xiabai came to Luoyang City with grain and grass to solve the crisis reached the Yang family as soon as possible, Yang Xiao knew this, but she still chose to ignore it and locked herself in the courtyard.
After Yang Yi told Mrs. Yang about the matter, Mrs. Yang decided to persuade her in person.
After all, they are friends, and An Xiabai risked coming to Luoyang City because of Yang Xiao's leg injury before, and now that they are coming again, how can they not go to see each other?
What's more, in Luoyang City today, all the people in the city went to the street to welcome them, but Yang Xiao didn't go, so what did An Xiabai think?
Mrs. Yang attaches the most importance to etiquette, and she has to persuade Yang Xiao to go over to everything, but what she never expected was that she couldn't even enter her granddaughter's yard. Yang Xiao seemed to have guessed that she would come to persuade herself to go out, so she closed the door directly from the inside, and then she didn't know what objects to move, so she directly closed the door tightly, and there was no wind leakage at all.
After persuasion, Mrs. Yang herself began to get annoyed.
"Do you think it's useful to close the door? Can closing the door help you escape what has already happened? ”
Yang Xiao in the door didn't say a word,
Old Madam Yang looked at the closed door, but the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the crutches in her hand slammed three times, and said hatefully: "I thought that your temperament changed greatly when you first went home, just because you couldn't bear the blow, so you didn't want to face it." I didn't expect that you would run away for many months with this evasion, Ah Xiao, tell me, you have been in the room, what did you think of? ”
Yang Xiao heard the hoarseness in her words, so he whispered to persuade; "Grandmother, you don't have to persuade me, I won't go out, today the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang City went to the city gate to greet Mrs. Lu and General Lu, I won't go, don't ask why, I don't want to answer."
The crutch knocked on the door again, thumping several times.
That voice also represented the angry mood of the old lady Yang at this time: "It's really useless!" I think you had a really good time in the first half of your life, so you will always be haunted by this setback! You are still young, and the days to come are still long, what you are experiencing in front of you is just a bump in the road, can't you really get over it? Ah Xiao, listen to your grandmother's words, put it down. ”
This time, Yang Xiao didn't even make a sound.
Old Madam Yang was really desperate for her, and after sighing at the closed door, she turned around and left the small courtyard.
At the same time, on the streets of Luoyang City, Zheng Zhinan was waiting in the middle of the road with his wife.
The people in Luoyang City only knew that Luoyang City was besieged and the situation was urgent, and they didn't know anything else, and only they and their wives themselves understood what kind of predicament Luoyang City had encountered before.
If it weren't for Lu Li to save him with grain and grass, I'm afraid Luoyang City wouldn't be able to hold out for even a month.
Today's Lu Li and An Xiabai can really be called their great benefactors in Luoyang City.
Seeing An Xiabai and Lu Li coming over, Liu Zhen saluted from afar.
"Mrs. Liu doesn't need to be polite." An Xiabai stepped forward with a smile, took Liu Zhen's hand and said, "We are allies on both sides, and it is also within our duty to send people to save Luoyang City, how can it be so grand, the general and I can't stand such courtesy." ”
They were unwilling to accept it, but Liu Zhen felt that he should worship, if it weren't for the fact that all the people in the city had come at this time, Zheng Zhinan would still be the county guard in the future, and he needed to save a little face in front of the people, Liu Zhen even did not hesitate to kneel directly to An Xiabai.
If they hadn't come to the rescue, Luoyang City would have been hell at this time.
The two of them glanced at each other, and said to Lu Li and An Xiabai in front of all the people in the city: "In the future, all the people of Lingcheng and all the soldiers will be dispatched by General Lu, and in the future, all the affairs of Luoyang City can also be decided by you, General Lu, and we will definitely not say a word." ”
The implication is that they want to hand over Luoyang City to Lu Li.
As soon as this remark came out, the people showed surprised expressions, they really love Zheng Zhinan, this official has done a lot of practical things for their people since he took office, it is no exaggeration to say that almost all the people in Luoyang City have received Zheng Zhinan's favor, and now Luoyang City has changed hands, they are very uncomfortable.
Even if Lu Li and An Xiabai did have favors in Luoyang City, they wouldn't be able to send the entire city away!
Not only were the people who heard these words worried and confused, but even An Xiabai was a little puzzled.
However, Lu Li quickly cleaned up the current difficult situation.
I saw a smile on the corner of his lips, and he stepped forward and directly helped Zheng Zhinan up from the ground: "Lord Zheng doesn't need to do this." How can I, Lu Li, be entrusted by you to support the responsibility of tens of millions of people in Luoyang City? I'm just a general, and I'm very good at fighting, but I can't do such complicated things as governing a city. ”
Zheng Zhinan frowned and said, "But General Lu, didn't you capture several cities?" ”
"Those cities are also managed by Madame, she complained to me several times before she came, saying that she can't manage it, let me arrange some errands for her less, so Lord Zheng, don't embarrass me anymore," Lu Li said while patting Zheng Zhinan's shoulder and said, "In the future, Lord Zheng, you will still be the parent official of Luoyang City, I believe that under the governance of Lord Zheng, Luoyang City will definitely be able to restore the prosperity before the battlefield." ”
Zheng Zhinan's heart was hot: "I will definitely do my best." ”
After the grain and grass were escorted into Luoyang City, Lu Li and his party followed Zheng Zhinan and his wife into the official mansion.
Zheng Zhinan still had a knot, so as soon as he entered the door, he tightened his brows and asked Lu Li about the situation over there: "I heard that Zhou Guan's army returned to the barracks unscathed, will they come to attack Luoyang City again?" ”
"No, it won't." Lu Li's face was determined, "Zhou Guan's retreat is one of my strategies, and the army he leads is as chaotic as a plate of scattered sand at the moment, plus I am in Luoyang City, even if I lend him a few hundred courages, he will not come to attack Luoyang City again, so there will definitely be no more wars in Luoyang City in the short term." ”
After this incident, Zheng Zhinan's trust in Lu Li can be said to have soared to a peak.
General Lu said that Zhou Guan would not come, so he would definitely not come!
Liu Zhen was careful, and felt that the two of them must be tired all the way from Nanhuai City, so they specially sent someone to prepare a dust washing banquet in the house, but An Xiabai couldn't sit still, Lu Li just explained the situation to Zheng Zhinan, and she was anxious to see Yang Xiao.
"It's been more than a month since I said goodbye last time, and I haven't seen each other for so long, and I don't know how Ah Xiao is doing now......."
The worry on her face was undisguised, Rao was the most hard-hearted person, and she probably wouldn't be able to bear to persuade her.
Liu Zhen is not easy to persuade.
"As far as I know, Ah Xiao has been in a lot of energy recently, but because of the depression in his heart, he still doesn't want to go out to meet people......."
Some things have to be seen in person and confirmed to know what the situation is, especially in the matter of Yang Xiao, An Xiabai is even more concerned.
She told Liu Zhen that she would go to meet Yang Xiao, and after meeting her, she would come to accept the dust washing banquet they had prepared a long time ago, and then hurried to Yang's house with Lu Li.
This time, when she entered the door, no one stopped her.
"Ah Xiao!"
As soon as An Xiabai entered the courtyard, he saw Yang Xiao and rushed over directly, looking at her with a smile and saying, "When I heard that Luoyang was besieged in Nanhuai City, I thought about you day and night, and the safety of the Yang family, fortunately, you are all fine." ”
The expression of concern and joy on her face was not hidden, and Yang Xiao couldn't help but be a little stunned when she saw it.
In her eyes, is she really that important?
At this moment, Lu Li, who was following behind unhurriedly, also entered the door.
They made a special trip, mainly to tell Yang Xiao that Xiong Er was scared crazy, but after entering the door and seeing people, An Xiabai touched Yang Xiao's skinny hands, and then looked at her pale and bloodless face, and suddenly felt that these words could not be opened.
Yang Xiao had been tortured so much, she didn't want her to recall the events of that day again!
An Xiabai was careful, and didn't say anything because of Yang Xia's mood, but Lu Li was different, the man was already a little dull about emotional matters, and seeing that An Xiabai didn't say it directly, he thought she was embarrassed, and took the initiative to speak: "Miss Yang Xiao, do you remember that day——"
Lu Li's words were only halfway before he was stopped by An Xiabai.
In a place where Yang Xiao couldn't see, An Xiabai tried to give Lu Li a look, trying to make him understand what he was thinking.
But Lu Li hadn't figured it out yet, but Yang Xiao found out first.
They have something to hide from themselves!
Or more accurately, there are some things they can't say in front of them!
Yang Xiao is such a smart person, after experiencing these setbacks and sinking down, she is more and more able to understand people's hearts, she easily guessed that An Xiabai wanted to say but didn't want to say those words, maybe it was related to a certain scumbag in her heart, so she sank her face: "Xia Bai, if you have something to say directly, we are all so familiar, do you still have to take into account what to say and what not to say?" ”
An Xiabai's expression froze.
When he was hesitating to tell Xiong Er's story, he heard Lu Li whisper as if fanning the flames next to him: "Madam, let's talk about it, some things have been buried in my heart, but I can't forget them." Just like a wound that has festered, if it is not treated, if the dirty water in it is not drained out and then injured with medicine, how can the wound be healed? ”
Talking about Xiong Er's fate may be able to give Yang Xiao a little comfort, so maybe her mood will improve, and her attitude towards life will change for the better.
The two people in the courtyard looked at themselves with burning eyes, Rao is An Xiabai, and they can't hide it.
Before speaking again, she took a step forward and held Yang Xiao's hand tightly, before saying, "His name is Xiong Er, and he is a general under King Li, Xiong Qianshui's cousin. ”
Hearing these seemingly unrelated words, Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then tightened his brows, and clenched his hands tightly into two fists.
"He has been punished now, he is completely insane, and now he is locked up in the dungeon of Lingcheng."
