Chapter Thirty-Five: People Like Me
The most annoying thing in Jiaozhou at night is mosquitoes, so when you sleep in the wild at night, you will inevitably find wormwood or something to repel mosquitoes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fire not far away was still crackling and burning, and Lu He's men, more than a dozen night watchmen, added firewood to the fire from time to time.
This night, Feng Junyan slept very peacefully, with a raccoon dog under his body and a roe deer on his body, which was much better than last night, when he could only rest by the fire.
This night, Feng Junyan slept very peacefully. The fragrant beef, salty salt, and the taste are truly unforgettable. The days without salt are really sad, and today's meal can be said to be the best meal Feng Junyan has eaten these days. Beef is such a precious thing that can make him feast! If it weren't for the fact that Lu didn't show much interest in him, he wouldn't have believed that this was something he could eat by escaping.
Uncle Wang is so good to me! Feng Junyan fell asleep with this idea. Next to him, he opened his eyes from time to time, carefully guarding his young patriarch, and vigilantly paying attention to Feng Bing around him.
Compared with Feng Junyan's sound sleep, Xie Yanran, who was better treated not far away, couldn't sleep at all. His mind kept wandering, and after Lu He finished speaking, he gave Feng Junyan a big gift.
"Am I going to be in the mouth of a tiger today? Is this devil going to give me to this Tian She'er who has only met once? I'm not reconciled, I don't want it, I don't want it! I am the noble daughter of the Xie family, and if my future husband is a child of a family, my body can only be left to my future husband. Tightly grasping the hairpin that Lu He had returned to her hand only yesterday, Xie Yanran secretly made up her mind in her heart. If that Tian Yi'er dares to come, I will stab him to death, stab him to death.
Xie Yanran, who had made up her mind, felt a lot more relieved. glanced at the surroundings of the black hole, and the insects and birds chirped from time to time in the ears; He glanced at Lu Ta, who seemed to be asleep not far away, and Lu and his entourage who were vigilantly looking around next to the fire. Xie Yanran completely gave up wanting to escape in the night, so she could only regard the hairpin in her hand as her only support. ”
Time passed little by little, and the surroundings became more and more peaceful. And Xie Yanran, who has always been worried, because the danger of worrying has not come for a long time, the body that was originally curled up due to fear actually fell asleep soon after relaxing.
"It's so safe to sleep." A demonic voice suddenly sounded in Xie Yanran's ears.
Xie Yanran, who was originally asleep, was so frightened by this sudden sound that she woke up directly from her dream.
"Ah, don't you come, you don't come here." The frightened Xie Yanran was like a frightened cat, and suddenly exploded, and even Lu He, who was looking at her condescendingly, was startled by her.
"Don't come here, you devil. Don't come here, don't give me as a gift to others, I promise you everything, I listen to you everything. Xie Yanran looked at Lu He in fear like a madman, and while looking at Lu He, she covered her body with her hands and stepped back. I wanted to find something from the side to guard against, but the hairpin in my hand didn't know where it had fallen at this time.
Listening to Xie Yanran's words, Lu He had a black line in his head. If I want to do something to her, I still have to wait until today?
"Shut up, don't cry, if you dare to wake people up again, now I will reward you to my followers."
Lu He cautiously glanced at Feng Junyan's side, and when he saw that Feng Junyan's side was still not moving, he turned around with confidence and said angrily at Xie Yanran.
"I don't cry, I don't cry, as long as you don't give me to others, you can do whatever you want me to do." Xie Yanran endured her fear, covered her mouth tightly, and tried not to let herself cry. At this moment, Xie Yanran could finally understand what it was like for her to be at home, when the masters of the family rewarded the little concubines and maids to others. This feeling of not being in control of your own future and being sent away casually is really uncomfortable. She no longer wants to experience this feeling of not being able to survive and dying.
She has made up her mind that if she can go back safely this time, she can become the mother of the family. She will definitely not let a maid and concubine in the house be sent out casually.
"During the day, you hear it, too. Your Xie family has sent someone to save you. Are you happy to hear this? I have indeed seen Xie Qing, and he is indeed a rare young man. Speaking of which, I really envy your Xie family, who care so much about their own heirs. ”
After listening to Lu Yanran's words, Xie Yanran's heart tightened. And Lu didn't care about Xie Yanran's mood change, and started his own interrogation time.
"Say, what is the relationship between Xie Qing and you?"
"Qing'er, Qing'er is my eldest brother's son, I grew up with him, and I have the best relationship. Only he knew about my coming out this time, and he must have heard that something had happened to me, so he immediately came to rescue me with his soldiers and horses. Xie Yanran didn't dare to hide it, so she told the matter directly.
"The son of the Xie family? But your eldest brother's eldest son? Lu listened to Xie Yanran's words, and became interested.
"No, no. Qing'er is just a concubine, and his mother is only the daughter of a small family, not a wife. However, Qing'er has been smart since she was a child, and she is very loved by her father, so she can become a military marquis at a young age. I beg you not to hurt Qing'er, please. Xie Yanran saw that Lu was interested in Xie Qing, and immediately opened his mouth to beg. If she had been like this in the past, she would definitely not have been like this, but these days, she was really frightened by Lu Tan's cruel methods, and subconsciously begged for mercy.
"With your concubine in hand, why should I go to find a mere grandson again, don't worry, I won't ask for hardship." Lu He remembered Xie Qing, who finally escaped from the encirclement under the protection of the Jin army yesterday, and secretly wrote it down in his heart. A concubine is in such a big battle, if you add a man, what will it do? However, I didn't plan to tell Xie Yanran about these things.
And Xie Yanran, who didn't know the details, saw that Lu didn't speak, and thought that he had listened to her words, and secretly let go of his heart a little.
"I'm here to tell you a good thing." Lu He came back to his senses and looked at Xie Yanran with a smile.
"I'm sure you'll be happy when I'm done."
"What's good?"
Xie Yanran didn't believe that Lu He would have anything good to tell him, and looked at Lu him suspiciously and fearfully.
"I have decided to let these two teenagers escort you back to Jiuzhen City today, and not accompany you personally. What do you think? Isn't it a pleasure! Lu looked at Xie Yanran expectantly.
"Really, really?" Xie Yanran was overjoyed when she heard Lu He's words, and almost jumped in disbelief. When he saw the playful expression on Lu He's face, he returned to his original cowardly appearance.
"Don't worry, I don't have to lie to you." Lu He didn't care about the relieved look in the corner of Xie Yanran's eyes, and directly gave an affirmative answer.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Xie Yanran saw that Lu didn't seem to be telling a lie, and directly cried with joy, it felt really good to be able to leave this demon.
"Don't be too happy just yet. I'm just asking someone else to send you back, and you still have to do what needs to be done. Don't forget that you still hold the handle in my hands, and don't forget what you promised me. And there's something I have to tell you. When Lu saw Xie Yanran's expression, he immediately laughed evilly.
"Do you know why I let you go? You have also seen this Feng Xiaolangjun today, but the young patriarch of a small family in the wilderness of Jiaozhou, far away from the influence of Central Plains, can actually have such insight. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he already understands the world. If you have a family history, it's just a matter of hearing and seeing it since you were a child, but it's not it, it's really surprising. And as far as I can see, these are far from his limits. To be honest, it's surprising at such a young age. Do you think he's excellent? Lu He glanced at Feng Junyan, who was asleep not far away, and couldn't help but admire in his heart again.
"Indeed, it is quite surprising." Although Xie Yanran didn't like Feng Junyan's attitude towards her, she didn't deny his early wisdom.
"Since he's so good, why don't you just kill him? There is such an excellent male teenager in Jiaozhou, he is not destined to be your enemy. Xie Yanran, who had calmed down, finally came back to her brain.
"Kill him? No, no, no, I'm not going to kill him. Wouldn't life be too boring without an opponent? He's still young, but I'm sure he'll grow up soon. Lu He was full of confidence at this time.
"And it's just a teenager, what do I have to worry about? If I'm scared of all teenagers, how can I achieve great things? It's not easy to meet a teenager who smells like each other and has a common language. How can such a good seedling be easily destroyed. The most important thing is that I believe that he, like me, will sooner or later become the enemy of the family, that is, your enemy. ”
"I don't think you would have such thoughts. If it weren't for him, how could I let you go so easily? Speaking of which, he is your savior. Do you understand the lifesaver? I can't believe you'd encourage me to kill my savior. Lu He glanced at Xie Yanran playfully.
Xie Yanran wanted to scold Lu for spewing blood, but in the end she held back. People are swords, I am fish and meat, this kind of battle of tongues, in the end, you can only suffer yourself.
"As long as you promise me this, I will let you go tomorrow." Lu He saw that Xie Yanran ignored him, and he was deeply bored, and he was not interested in laughing at this family girl again.
"Tell me, what's the matter? As long as you let me go, I can do whatever you want. Xie Yanran said a little impatiently.
"Hehe, your family is really selfish, you have never listened to what I want you to do so simply, no wonder you can do something that costs the lives of thousands of people in order to find one person." Lu He looked at Xie Yanran sarcastically again. However, Xie Yanran, who had already yielded, did not say anything, as long as the confession was still in Lu Ta's hands, he would have to agree to what he said sooner or later.
"Hehe, it's not too difficult. As long as you go back and let him experience the majesty of the family. Lu said expectantly to Xie Yanran.
"It's as simple as that?" Xie Yanran was puzzled by this.
"Is it easy? Don't forget that he's your savior. The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, I want you to let him deeply understand what is called the dignity of the family after acknowledging that he is your benefactor! Lu looked at Xie Yanran, who was still puzzled, with a face full of contempt.
"Is it hard? It's not difficult! Xie Yanran was very puzzled.
"Idiot, I'm asking you to teach him a profound lesson, to humiliate him fiercely, to let him know what is the reality of this world. For example, beat him half to death, and then let his father die early, so that he can have a chance to become a patriarch as soon as possible. Do you understand? Lu He explained again.
"Why are you doing this? Does it make sense? He's just an innocent teenager! Xie Yanran didn't understand why Lu was so crazy.
"Why? Because I like him, I like him as a smart boy, because I think he is the same kind of person as me. As long as he is driven to a dead end, let him know how hateful the family is, and how innocent and helpless the people who have no strength are, then the family in this world has another powerful enemy, and I have another smart companion, isn't it good? What a great thing that is. Luda laughed at the sky like crazy.
"Your liking is disgusting." Xie Yanran expressed disgust in her heart for Lu Ta's thoughts, looking at this crazy Lu He, she didn't know how to describe the madman in front of her. But although she doesn't want to sacrifice an innocent person for nothing, it is better to sacrifice others for her own sake than to sacrifice herself. What's more, it's not to let him die, it's just to endure some hardship.
There was no difficulty for Xie Yanran in this matter, let alone any pressure. As for what Lu said about creating a powerful enemy for the family, Xie Yanran didn't even think about it. As the daughter of a family, Xie Yanran knows the heritage of the family. Wang Xie controls the Jin Kingdom, and the horror of the family is something that a young man from a small clan in the wilderness of Jiaozhou can shake.
"Okay, I promise you. The conditions you said before, as long as you don't appear in front of me, I can promise you. "As long as she can go back safely and cleanly, Xie Yanran can agree to all the conditions.
"Since that's the case, it's decided. Don't let me down. Lu He glanced at Xie Yanran with disdain, this is the essence of the family, snorted, Lu He turned around and left.
The next day, when Feng Junyan opened his eyes, he found that Feng Bing was sitting beside him and looked at him in a daze. And Lu He and his party were packing their bags and preparing to go at this time.
"Uncle Wang, get up so early." Feng Junyan lifted his skin and stood up embarrassedly.
"It seems that Xiao Langjun slept well last night." Lu Ta, who had already packed his bags, looked at the shy Feng Junyan and said with a smile.
"Let the uncle smile. I've been too tired in recent days, but I overslept last night when I relaxed. Feng Junyan touched his head embarrassedly.
"Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking, Xiao Langjun sleeps so deeply, which shows that Xiao Langjun trusts me, otherwise if he changes someone else, how dare he sleep to death like this in front of strangers." Lu He glanced at Xie Yanran, who was waiting for Lu He to announce his departure, and said a pun.
"Yesterday I said that I had a big gift for Xiao Langjun, and I am going to leave today, so I will hand over the gift to Xiao Langjun." Lu He glanced at Xie Yanran with a smile, and Xie Yanran naturally leaned over to Feng Junyan and the others after listening to Lu He's words. Lu He originally wanted to talk to Feng Junyan separately, but when he saw Feng Bing looking at him with a defensive expression, he just smiled but didn't move again.
Feng Junyan looked at Xie Yanran, who was overjoyed on his face, and then at Feng Bing, who looked defensive, and didn't know what was going on.
"Uncle Wang, what are you?" Feng Junyan looked at Xie Yanran, who walked to his side, and asked puzzled.
"Xiao Langjun, in fact, there is one thing I didn't tell the truth, the little lady of the Xie family next to you is the great-granddaughter of Xie Dongshan you said. And the reason why you were sent to die is because of this woman. Now that I hand her over to you, as long as you send her back to Jiuzhen City safely, the Xie family will definitely thank you very much. Lu He pointed to Xie Yanran beside Feng Junyan and said.
"Uncle Wang, you're joking." After listening to Lu Ta's words, Feng Junyan subconsciously clenched the knife in his hand. If he doesn't know that something big is wrong at this time, then he is really brainless.
"Xiao Langjun don't have to be nervous, if I want to do something to Xiao Langjun, Xiao Langjun, do you think you can escape with just the two of you?" Lu He glanced at the retinue behind him who were ready to go, and he pointed to something.
Well, Lugh was right. If others wanted to do something to themselves, they would have died a long time ago.
"It seems that the uncle is not just a businessman, I don't know what the uncle wants to do if he captures the concubine of the Xie family?" Feng Junyan also simply let go.
"It's nothing, it's just that I like a boy like Xiao Langjun more, and I want to give you a big gift to Xiao Langjun." Lu He didn't speak, and directly stepped on the back of one of the retinues and got on the horse led by another retinue.
"Xiao Langjun doesn't have to worry, he saved the Xie family's daughter this time, and he will definitely have a bright future after he goes back. I hope that next time I want to see him, Xiao Langjun is still as sincere as yesterday. Lu He pulled the horse rope, glanced at Feng Junyan, who was confused, and left directly with his entourage.
"Why didn't he go to Nine True City?" Feng Junyan looked at Lu He's back, full of doubts.
"Xiao Langjun, remember my name. On Cai Lu him, we will meet later. Luta's voice came from the south again.
