Chapter 274: A fire broke out in the middle of the night
I can't hope to reunite with Lord Lu, and the two of them talked about the benefits of Lord Gao from the beginning at night, and for a while, Lord Lu actually cried bitterly. Xu couldn't know why Lao Lu was sad from herself, she said to Lu Shanglou, "The past has passed, we just need to do a good job in the future, don't let yourself feel bad." Lord Lu couldn't help but nod his head.
Xu Bu said again, "Those things in the past were not publicized in the ranch village. ”
Lu Shanglou said, "Xie Guang...... Didn't go around talking about the Jieli Department? "During the civil strife in the Jieli Ministry, Lu Shanglou once gave Hei Da a bad idea to plan Siqing, although he didn't succeed, but he was always a heart problem.
Xu couldn't say, "Master Gao once met Xie Guang and whipped him, where does he dare to talk nonsense!" When Lu Shanglou heard this, he was even more determined to look forward to the tall adults from now on, and he would never have two hearts.
During the day, Lirong couldn't come to find Xu, and after seeing her, she didn't know where to start. Xu couldn't smile and said, "I know what you're looking for me." Lirong blushed and said, "I know you still ask...... Sister Xu, what do you say...... What's going on? ”
Xu Bu said, "I can see it from the first night, don't look at the dark circles under your eyes, but it's not because of the tall man." In my opinion, there must be something troublesome about the tall man. You can't just think about your little Jiujiu, you have to stand in his position and look at things. ”
Lirong had the heart to tell Xu about some of the situation in the family before the tall man came out, and she felt that it was inappropriate. How can things at home be told to outsiders?
Xu Budao, "I don't think about this person, I don't think about it, he won't do this in public affairs, and eighty percent of them are troubles at home." Although you can't resolve it for him, but now that you are in the Poplar River, so far away from home, you should find a way to make him forget about his family. Lirong listened thoughtfully.
After the tall man came to the poplar pasture, the ranch was harassed twice by small groups of people, who always appeared in the middle of the night after the people had fallen asleep, and the second time they all rode to the gate of the pasture, and when the herding team came and ran away.
The tall man could see that these were well-trained people, with superb riding skills and no small courage, and he couldn't think of the intentions of these people. But each time these people fled to the upper reaches of the Baiyang River, probably infiltrated from the Alashan Pass. When the mountain pass came in, there was a crossbow city, but they came and went without a trace, and a crossbow city seemed to be nothing.
Gao Jun was ready to finish these things in the ranch, and think of a way to find out where these harassers came from.
There were Lu Shanglou and Feng Zheng in the pasture, and there were many Duo and Su Tuoer in the pastoral protection team, and there were not many people who really worried about what was going on for Lord Gao, so he rode out to inspect it during the day.
Fifty or sixty miles to the west of the pasture is the big mountain, there is not even a small road on the mountain, everywhere the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the thick shade is turned, and the sky and the sun and shadow are not visible. Those harassing men and horses can't get through here, and the only place to enter is the Alashan Pass to the west of Ballista.
In addition, there is a river more than 400 miles north from the poplar pasture, the name of this river is unknown, along the river valley can lead to a lake with a wide water surface outside the northwest mountains, but the valley is dangerous, and a guard at the mouth of the valley is also under construction, and those people will not come in from here.
Tall Man's eyes were focused on the place where Yamaguchi was, and he had been thinking about how to deal with it for the past few days. In the pasture, meals are all held in a centralized manner, and in the evening, the tall man returned to his and Lirong's wooden house after eating. He lay down as usual, and Lirong muttered, "It's not like at home, it's not convenient to take a bath, and it's sticky and uncomfortable." ”
Gao Daren said, "Isn't there a wooden shed for bathing by the river, what's inconvenient." ”
Lirong said, "It's still a girl's house, how can I squeeze together with those mothers-in-law to wash." Master Gao was a little unbearable, "It's also....what do you say?" Why don't you build another one tomorrow? ”
Lirong said, "Why bother, it's dark now, and there should be no one in the wooden shed to wash it." But I'm scared alone, why don't you just accompany me once? ”
So Master Gao got up again, took the black knife on his shoulder, and said, "Let's go." ”
Lirong said, "What are you doing with a knife in a shower?" ”
Master Gao explained, "The knife never leaves the body, and besides, you wash it, not me." He accompanied Lirong out, and after nightfall, the river was silent, only the sound of insects and water.
Lirong went in, and there was no one in the wooden shed, and she knew that the tall man was standing at the door of the wooden shed, and she said in her heart that she would try according to what she said. So she didn't call her tall man, but took off her clothes in the wooden shed, wiped the soaphorn powder on her body wholeheartedly, and then washed it with water.
After a while, she saw the tall man at the door of the wooden shed flash in, and said, "My body is also itching uncomfortably. ”
After a while, Lirong said, "You're not stinging...... Just wash yourself. Master Gao smiled and didn't answer, and only heard the sound of water from outside the wooden shed.
After the two of them washed, they went back to sleep in the wooden house. In the second half of the night, I suddenly heard the shepherd on the elevated highway shouting. The tall man jumped up from the bed, put on his clothes and went outside, and rushed to the high shelf and shouted, "What's the matter?" ”
Muzi, who was on duty at night, said, "The direction of the crossbow branch city is blazing. ”
This is around the end of the day, the time of the day when people sleep heaviestly, and of course the time when they are least vigilant. At this time, there must be something going on in the crossbow city.
At this time, Feng Zheng had also gotten up, and Duoduo led thirty guards to be on duty, and Master Gao said to Duoduo, "Call the thirty guards who are not on duty to be on guard, and I will take you to Crossbow City to have a look." ”
Many said, "Master Gao, I'll accompany you." Master Gao didn't allow it, and said, "Just take care of the pasture, and be careful of people taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack." ”
In the crossbow branch city, the father and son of the city lord were leading their men to put out the fire, and when they saw that the tall man brought someone over to help him overnight, the city lord said, "Someone picked us to sleep the deepest, and actually climbed in from outside the city to set fire, burned more than a dozen houses and then fell out of the city, it was really angry." ”
"This is from outside the mountain, and it seems that it is concentrated on making us unstable." It's not a problem, but you have to think of a way to fix it once and for all. "These people helped put out the fire, and when they saw that there were no casualties, they all came back. After a period of busyness, the sky was already bright.
Master Gao wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Liuzhong Ranch to Yue Qinghe. If there is no one who can't do things, he wants to temporarily pull over the remaining one hundred and forty well-trained shepherds of Liu Zhongmu.
These harassers should not be underestimated, they can climb the city late at night, and they can escape with their whole body, and they must be face to face. The person who sent the letter came back only one day, and he didn't bring any of them, but he brought Guo Beifeng's letter.
The results of Guo's investigation were also anxious for Gao to know, he took the letter, and without asking why the shepherd team had not arrived, he hurriedly returned to the wooden house and opened the letter to read it. (To be continued.) )
