Volume 1 Frontier Storm Chapter 91 Men and Women Quarrel
Guangling City was bustling at the moment, not only the sergeants who were struggling after the war and wanted to rest against the wall for a while, but also the people who breathed a sigh of relief and were full of excitement, plus the women in the city who brought the food to the city to treat everyone, it seemed that they were all people.
But Lu Zhen only glanced at the crowd, and he already saw her - a woman with a blue cloth bun, wearing only a simple dress, and was smiling and distributing simple meals to the hands of the sergeants and ordinary people-Chu Yunrong!
In fact, not only Lu Zhen looked at him, but the eyes of many men also lingered on her body and face, because compared to other women, she was too beautiful, just like the red sun rising, it would make the stars of the night disappear, and her existence also overshadowed all the women around her.
Chu Yunrong, who was busy distributing food, seemed to have a sense of it, and noticed Lu Jin's gaze on him, raised his head and looked back at him, with concern in his eyes, but also a little appreciation and joy. Without much hesitation, she took a pottery bowl from Cui Mei's hand with her, and then walked towards Lu Jin.
The men who were originally going to receive food from the beauties immediately showed pity when they saw her leave suddenly, but then they saw that she was heading towards Lu County's order, so they didn't dare to have any ideas, because Lu Jin's status in their minds was too high now, and no one dared to disrespect him at all.
Passing the bowl over with a smile, Chu Yunrong said softly, "You haven't encountered any danger here, have you?" When he said this, a blush appeared on his face again.
Lu Zhen took it and stretched out his hand to take the pottery bowl, but he didn't eat or thank him, just kept a calm face: "Why did you come here?" This is not the place for you. The tone was quite serious and unhappy.
I originally wanted to say a few words gently, but I didn't expect to wait for such a hard answer, and even a little disgusted, which made Chu Yunrong stunned for a while, and then a little angry: "Why can't I come here?" You have the responsibility to guard the city as the county commander, and since I am the wife of the county commander, it is natural that I should comfort everyone with the people! ”
Because of the anger in his heart, Chu Yunrong's voice was quite small, and he immediately let the other people around him hear it clearly. Only then did everyone know her identity, and for a while, the guy who was still a little covetous immediately gave up the idea, and more people admired and respected Lu Zhen even more.
Only a heroic figure like Lu Xianling is equipped with such a virtuous wife! Generally, the wives and concubines of people with a little status in the city will not take the risk to go to the city to bring food to everyone, and she, as the wife of the county commander, actually came without regard for safety, which makes everyone very grateful and admired.
However, Chu Yunrong was a little aggrieved and a little shy in his heart now. admits that she is the wife of the county commander in public, that is, she says in public that she is Lu Jin's wife, but in fact, the two have nothing to do with each other. What's even more odious is that he was kind enough to deliver food, and in the past few days, he was even more worried about what danger he was in the city, but he was good, not only did he not feel happy when he met, but directly blamed himself, which is really unreasonable.
Looking at the crystal in the eyes of the woman in front of him, it seemed that tears might be shed at any time, and Lu Jin's heart also had a headache. He could naturally feel her heart for herself, but now the situation in the city was not safe after all, although the Mongols temporarily retreated, no one knew when they would attack again, and if they delayed here for a while, it would be more dangerous.
For the sake of Chu Yunrong's safety, Lu Zhen could only live up to the beauty's wishes. Even though she looked very aggrieved, she still hardened her heart and waved her hand: "This is not the place for you to stay, you go back quickly, don't be a burden to us." And ......" Lu Zhen glanced at the women again: "You are also average, defending the city is the business of the men in the city, you all go back quickly." If you want to send food in the future, you can send it to the city, and the official will ask someone to go down and get it! ”
"You ......" Seeing that he was so ruthless, this made Chu Yunrong even more annoyed. But in the end, he still answered sullenly and turned to leave. In front of so many people, she still knows that she wants to save face for Lu Jin.
And even the county magistrate's wife could only obediently obey the order, and the other women naturally did not dare to disobey, and soon, these women left one after another. After a little exchange, the men in the city also understood the hard work of Lu County's order, so no one said anything.
In fact, they didn't bother to talk about these little things, and although the Mongols outside the city were frustrated, the danger was far from over, and no one knew when they would launch the next attack. Now everyone's attention is still focused on the enemy.
But apparently this time they really hurt and scared the Mongolian people. From noon until it was dark, the Mongols never attacked again, and no one even dared to clean up the corpses under the city, as if they had the intention of fighting.
But Lu Jin knew that this might just be the calm and momentum before the storm. Once they don't retreat and decide to attack the city again, their offensive will be far greater than any previous one!
There is another thing that has always been in Lu Jin's heart, and that is reinforcements. It's been a day and a half, but the surrounding states and counties haven't seen a single soldier come to the rescue so far, and the problem is serious.
He didn't know that it was because of his previous actions that the other garrisons would not be saved, but that something had happened to other states and counties. This is also conceivable, after all, the Mongolian people have never officially attacked the border city of Daming over the years, maybe this time it is a targeted attack by the various departments of the grassland.
Although Lu Jin didn't remember that there had been such a big battle before the Tumubao Incident, he didn't dare to guarantee that it wouldn't. After all, history is composed of many details, and he has caused a great incident in the grassland, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not lead to such a military rebellion.
If this is the case, is the current border strength of the Ming Dynasty enough to resist the attack led by a strongman like Yexian? Or will the tragedy of the Tumberburg be played out years earlier?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Lu Jin's heart felt. But soon, he laughed again, how could he think so much about it again. Now he is just a small county order, and all he can do is help defend the city, and as for the rest, even if it really happens, it is not something he can deal with.
Exhaled a breath of turbidity, and looked at the Mongolian military camp outside the city again, Lu Jin's brows furrowed again: "The enemy outside the city still doesn't go, and the initiative is all in their hands, so things are not easy to do." It's a pity that there are too few soldiers and horses available, otherwise they should have taken advantage of the victory to go out of the city to counterattack before, and maybe they could be repulsed. ”
When the sky was completely dark, the soldiers and civilians in the city, who had been worried for most of the day, were greatly relieved. With yesterday's experience, they knew that the day had finally survived, because it was impossible for the Mongols to attack again at night.
Moreover, even if reinforcements from nearby states and counties have not arrived, Datong's reinforcements should arrive tomorrow. At that time, this Guangling City can be regarded as truly defending. This thought made many people's faces begin to overflow with joy, and in their hearts, the battle was over, and there was no need to fight to the death with the Mongolian people.
This sentiment reached its highest point when the evening meal was delivered again. It's a pity that there is no alcohol, otherwise they would all have to drink it to celebrate. And Lu Zhen was also quite satisfied when he saw this, after a lesson during the day, those women finally didn't send food this time, which shows that his prestige is still very high.
But he was complacent, and it didn't take long for him to work, because soon, a familiar figure came towards him. Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers walked away one after another, and even Lin Lie silently walked to the other end, giving up a large section of the city's space.
When he came to Lu Jin, Chu Yunrong shoved a large bowl in his hand into his hand, but when he looked at it, it was a bowl of fragrant noodles. Then, her eyes glared fiercely at the man in front of her, looking defiant.
Lu Zhen smiled a little embarrassedly: "Why do you like to take such a risk?" There could be a war here at any time, and everyone will have to take care of you then......"
"I don't need you to take care of me." Chu Yunrong quickly interrupted him: "As I said before, since I am the wife of the county commander, I should set an example. Men are protecting us and the city, and we women can only hide behind, unable to do even a little thing for you? As he spoke, he gave him a puffed white look.
Lu Zhen understood the temper of this eldest lady, and he also regretted his recklessness in his previous words, which seemed to really hurt her. If it is placed in the future generations, Chu Yunrong will definitely be a staunch feminist, after all, in this era of low status of women, she actually dared to push her husband aside, and the Qipin county magistrate who still has a head and a face, how bold is he to dare to talk to her like that.
Thinking about this, Lu Zhen could only bow his head: "Okay, I said the wrong thing, I apologize to you." I hope you Miss Chu have a lot, don't blame me anymore. "If it weren't for the noodles in his hand, he would have bowed.
Seeing that he was soft, Chu Yunrong snorted, and his complexion softened: "This noodle is made by me and Cuimei, you should eat it while it's hot." ”
"You know how to cook?" Lu Zhen subconsciously said a word, and then thought of something, and hurriedly lowered his head and ate again.
Chu Yunrong wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw him like this, he was a little happy: "Hey, am I really that terrible?" ”
"That...... Pretty much. Lu Jin said vaguely: "This noodle tastes okay, if you can put more sugar, it will be better......
Just as the two were gossiping and the atmosphere became softer, suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from the city behind, and a sharp arrow suddenly flew up from below......
