Ruda's death
The first strategist he saw in the Three Kingdoms was still a doll, if it weren't for the fear of affecting Lu Su's growth trajectory and his future achievements, Wen Qi really wanted to hire child labor.
Wen Qi saluted Luda with his hand and said, "Ling Lang is talented and intelligent at a young age, and he cares about the people, and he will be a good material for governing the country in the future." ”
When Luda heard this, his tone seemed to be not ordinary, and he hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the two?" ”
"In Xia Runan, Tai Shou Wenqi, next to this is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng." Wen Qi is not hidden, since he wants to abduct other people's sons to work for him, he naturally has to report his name.
"It's Lord Wen who broke the yellow scarf in Nanyang!"
Luda was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly knelt down to salute Wenqi, but was stopped by Wenqi, and signaled with his eyes that this was not a suitable environment.
As a giant, the Lu family is not a problem to buy a third prince on weekdays, but now the situation is different, people who have no ability to be officials are now delivering food to the Yellow Turban Army, and Wen Qi in front of him has already proven his ability in Nanyang, how can Lu Da, as a businessman, not see Wen Qi's future.
"Isn't your lord planning Runan?" Taking Lu Su to Wenqi's boat, Luda lowered his voice and whispered, this Wenqi will not come to the Huai River to see the scenery.
"Not bad!" Wen Qi came this time to find out the number of Runan Yellow Turban troops who came out to plunder, to see if he could wipe them out, reduce the number of defenders, and then break the city in one fell swoop.
"Lord Wen is really full of ideas!"
Luda didn't know what Wenqi's plans were, but as a successful businessman, saying good things is a must-remember skill, and he praised Wenqi's achievements, and saw Guan Yu in the cabin, which was even more shocking, plus Wenqi praised Lu Su, so that Luda promised to donate money and food on the spot.
Wenqi quietly asked the spirit of the prophet's furnace to make a black steel token, which was engraved with a Wen word, and handed it to Lu Su, who was still a child, if he needed his help in the future, just come to him, and he could find his generals with the token when he was not there.
In fact, there are tens of thousands of people in the Lu family, and general things are not troublesome to Wenqi, but Luda is still grateful to Wenqi.
Until the sun was about to set, Luda said goodbye and left, and before leaving, he handed over half a boatload of grain to Wenqi, and Luda came to deliver food, half of which was to pity these people, and half of it was also to gain a reputation for himself.
In fact, Wenqi was not suitable to reveal his identity at this moment, but he didn't shirk Luda's intentions and accepted it directly.
"Hansheng, what's the matter, how many batches of Yellow Turban Army have come?" As soon as Luda left, Wen Qi asked Huang Zhong, who had been keeping an eye on him before.
"The Yellow Turban Army has come in several batches, but according to the time and distance, the Yellow Turban Army outside will not exceed 3,000, even if we ambush these people, if the remaining 12,000 people in Runan City close the city gate, I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat it."
It was almost dusk, and now there were many bandits in the Huai River, and these merchants began to pack up their things and evacuate together, while there were still many refugees on the shore who were pleading.
Wenqi asked someone to dock the boat ashore, and dared to get off the boat with Huang Zhong to see those people who sold antiques and weapons.
These treasures, which were priceless in peacetime, are now a luxury to exchange for a full meal in troubled times, Wenqi bought these calligraphy, paintings, and antiques as fairly as possible, and asked these people if they would like to get on the boat and go back to the ancient city with him.
Who are these people who still collect calligraphy, paintings, and antiques in the war years, I am afraid that they are not from literary families, at least they are also poor students, these people are scarce resources for Wenqi, even if they go back to the ancient city to be a teacher.
"If the adults are willing to take in the villain, the villain is willing to offer this ancestral two-stringed bow to the adults." A man with a sallow face knelt in front of Wen Qi and said sincerely, holding an iron bow in both hands.
Wen Qi held the bow in his hand, the weight was a little heavy, the whole bow was white-brown, compared to other bows, this bow was designed with two bowstrings, which was a bit special.
"Double-stringed bow, a blue level 7 treasure, made of high-grade dark iron, increases attack by 42 when shooting arrows, and can shoot double arrows at the same time."
Wen Qi pondered that this bow could be worth twenty gold in normal times, but at the moment money was just a concept, and real things were the most precious.
"If it's really a good bow, I'm willing to exchange a house, a hundred stones of grain, and a hundred pieces of cloth for you in the ancient city, are you willing?"
Not to mention what Wen Qi gave, even if he is given two bowls of rice now, he is willing to change them, and if he dies of hunger, there will be nothing.
Like the man who offered the bow, the other dozen or so students who sold calligraphy, painting and antiques were also willing to follow Wenqi to the ancient city.
After giving Huang Zhong the newly acquired two-stringed bow, Wen Qi instructed the boatman to distribute all the food given by Luda to the remaining refugees, so that these refugees would be grateful.
"Engong, please leave your life, we will not forget until we die!" The refugees said.
Wen Qi wanted to say, but if his name spread, it was likely to arouse the vigilance of the Yellow Turban Army, and he could only tell the people that all the cities from the ancient city to Nanyang had been taken back by the imperial court, and if these people had nowhere to go, they could go to the ancient city, Yecheng, and Duyang.
Wenqi only has one ship, and he can't save them at all, and these people must be willing to follow him, so he can only show them the way.
A young man in the crowd, carrying the food he had received, looked at Wen Qi and Huang Zhong, and kept the appearance of the two of them in his mind.
On the other side, it was getting dark, and Lu Da and Lu Su were sitting in the cabin, and the merchant ship was sailing on the Huai River, almost half an hour away from Shouchun.
Ruda was tired and hungry, and was thinking about going home to have a good meal and go to bed early, when suddenly came: "Poof! "A bang.
"Someone overboard?" Ruda stood up and said to the boatman outside.
But then there was a continuous sound of someone falling into the water, and a boatman hurriedly ran in and said, "Boss, it's not good, someone has hijacked the ship!" ”
"Ship hijacking?"
He also brought a hundred strong doormen with him this time, and there should be no problem in dealing with ordinary water bandits, Lu Da stabilized his mood, and sat down again to comfort Lu Su.
On the Huai River, two merchant ships emerged from there, one on the left and one on the right, caught the boat where Luda was, and began to shoot arrows.
"Listen, the people on the boat, hand over Ruda, and I'll let you live!"
"Are you coming for yourself?" Ruda was a little puzzled, he usually pays attention to harmony and wealth, and has never had a grudge with anyone.
"Dad, hurry up and jump off the ship and leave, these thieves can still find us in the dark night, I'm afraid they have already figured out our situation." The eight-year-old Lu Su on the side looked immature, but he was very clear in his mind.
It's just that Luda looked at the cold water of the river, and he still took the eight-year-old Lu Su with him, hesitated for a moment, and decided to pin his hopes on his own guest.
Seeing that Ruda's doorman did not react, the ships attacking Ruda approached from both sides and clamped the ship where Ruda was.
"Board the ship!"
Twenty or thirty men came up on each side and boarded Ruda's ship.
"Protect the owner!"
The hundred guests brought out by Luda were all loyal and capable, and immediately fought with these bandits who got on the boat, but among the bandits who boarded the ship, two of them were obviously stronger than the others, and the doormen who killed Luda were almost one by one, and they were extremely fierce.
After a moment of fighting, a doorman ran into the cabin and said to Ruda: "Boss, leave quickly, jump ship and flee, these people are not ordinary bandits." ”
Luda's face changed greatly, so he pulled up Lu Su, walked through the cabin, and came to the other side of the ship, but saw a red lantern hanging on the bow of the ship, which was emitting red light, which was completely different from other lanterns.
"There's a mole!" Ruda understood at a glance that these bandits had relied on the red lantern to identify their ships.
"It's too late for the owner to figure it out now."
A figure suddenly appeared on the side, stabbing at the weak Ruda, directly close to his abdomen, Luda covered his stomach, and looked up to see that it was actually a housekeeper who had followed him for many years.
"If the owner leaves, everyone will work in vain!"
"You, why are you 。。。。。。" Ruda lost too much blood at this moment, and some were speechless.
"Because the price is higher!"
Eight-year-old Lu Su on the side plucked up his courage, ran up, and bit the housekeeper hard, and the housekeeper was in pain and kicked Lu Su into the Huai River.
Luda slowly fell to the ground and swallowed his last breath, and Yan Baihu and Yan Yu also finished cleaning up the door and walked over.
The housekeeper came to Yan Baihu and Yan Yu and said, "Two masters, this Luda is dead!" ”
"Good!" Yan Baihu said to the housekeeper, and then his tone changed: "If it's really a thing that eats inside and out, I Yan Baihu doesn't need it!" ”
After saying that, he cut it out with a knife, and as a result, the housekeeper, the housekeeper fell straight to Ruda's side.
"That's too much money to give you!" Yan Baihu took a bite on the butler's corpse.
Yan Yu on the side pulled out a dagger from his arms, brutally cut off Luda's face, and then pasted the bloody face on his face.
Yan Baihu took out the talisman from his arms and gave it to Yan Yu to swallow, and a strange scene happened, Luda's face actually grew together with Yan Yu's face, and it looked the same as Luda's face.
"Hahaha, with this face, the Lu family's wealth is all in our pocket." Yan Yu looked at his face at the water.
"This Taiping Dao Dao talisman is really magical, but unfortunately it only has a one-month effect, so I have to hurry up and take over the Lu family."
"This Lu family is rich and rivals the country, but it's a pity to give half of that Yellow Turban Army!" Yan Yuxin is unwilling.
"Who said they were going to divide them?"
"But we have already negotiated the conditions with He Man of Ruyin to get the Dao Talisman, big brother, are you going to play Taiping?" As soon as he thought of Taiping Dao, a trace of fear rose in Yan Yu's heart.
"And today's chaos, we took the Lu family's property, went to Jianye, which was far away from the war, to organize troops, defend the city, occupy the land as the king, and expand the power, whether it is the imperial court or Taipingdao, who dares not to give me face and seal my official position."
"But now, once He Man, the Yellow Turban Qu Marshal of Ruyin, finds out that we have deceived him, I am afraid that he will immediately raise troops to fight against us, where is there still a chance to form an army!"
"Are you sure he'll have a chance to crusade us when he finds out?"
