Chapter 31: Homecoming

Zhao Yi has been sticking to Lu Yi for the past few days, and Lu Yi is busy with affairs, where is he free to take care of Zhao Yi. No, Zhao Yu is here again, Lu Yi couldn't help frowning slightly: "Miss Zhao, no, Your Royal Highness the Princess, this Yangcheng has just revolted, and I have a mess in Guangxi, I heard that your Zhao family has also occupied a lot of cities, why don't you care at all and are not busy at all?" ”

"What, you're annoying me?" Zhao Qingjiao said angrily.

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, where do I dare to bother Her Royal Highness the Princess, hehe." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, my task is to win you over to negotiate with you, as for the matter of fighting with illness, naturally someone will do it, and other descendants of the royal family will serve." Zhao said.

Lu Yi smiled slightly and said: "So you don't have much power as a princess, the one in charge of the army is in power, and my father often says that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, hehe, hehe." ”

"If you have something to say, you can speak directly, around the bend, look at you, you are still yin and yang." Zhao said.

"I really don't mean anything else, it's just strange, these people who have rebelled, why are they still so childlike, not when they negotiated with me." Lu Yidao.

Zhao Yu said: "You just say I'm naΓ―ve, don't pick up that nice thing." I naturally couldn't negotiate with you at the time, and now I'm fine, what are you doing pretending to be serious? How can you be like you, younger than me, and old-fashioned, no wonder Ling Zun sent you out so relieved. ”

"I will say this sentence, and you will come to ten sentences. Okay, Your Highness Princess, please come back if you are fine. I still have to work. Lu Yi said, Zhao Yu said: "Why is it okay?" It's okay, I'm going to do something. ”

Lu Yi patiently asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Come to play with you, does this count." Zhao Qing asked with innocent eyes.

Lu Yi shook his head, speechless, unable to cry or laugh.

That's when it happened. A fast horse stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Yi heard it and looked at the gate of the courtyard, and after a while, a person ran in. The man knelt on one knee and clasped his fists in a salute, and then handed Lu Yi a letter, Lu Yi saw the code on the envelope and knew that this was an urgent document at home, so he called someone to ask the person to go down to rest, and ordered someone to invite Cui Ling to come.

Not for a moment. Cui Ling came, and when he saw Zhao Yu, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness, you have been running to the Lu Mansion for the past three days." Are you here to find Lao Lu or are you here to find me? ”

"Guess?" Zhao Yu said, Cui Ling said: "Do you guess me?" ”

"Alright, Your Highness, we have to discuss. Please stay away from it. Lu Yi interrupted the laughter of the two at this time and said. Zhao Yun pursed his lips dissatisfied, sat on the chair and crossed his arms and said, "I'm not leaving, aren't we allies, what else can't be said." ”

Lu Yi sighed and said, "If you don't go, don't go, Cui Ling, I just received a secret letter from home." You also know what the situation is near Guangzhou City now, this person ventured into Guangzhou City, it is estimated that something big has happened, and my father never gave me this kind of urgent paperwork, I am just afraid that it is related to my Uncle Wei and Zhao Yu's matter? ”

"No, it won't. Ling Zun is now at open war with the imperial court, let's help Ling Zun assassinate the Dog Emperor. It's too late for Ling Zun to thank you, no, no, even if it is to reward you, it is by no means to reprimand you. Zhao said.

What does the letter say? Why can't I see anything? Cui Ling said, Lu Yi said: "This kind of urgent letter is a blank piece of paper, it is estimated that ordinary people have to study the knowledge of the white paper inside, fire and water immersion or something, I hope to show the text, but in fact, the text is somewhere else." Zhao Yu doesn't have to look at me, this is the secret of my Lu family, that's all I can say, in short, my father just asked me to go back quickly, until there is nothing else. "It is true that this letter contains a blank piece of paper, but there is a hole in the envelope, it is one of the secret words of the Lu family's contact, and the Lu family's letter changes every time, even if it intercepts a few letters, it is difficult to study and understand.

"Then how can you be sure that Ling Zun is displeased?" Zhao Yu said: "Although our assassination plan did not succeed this time, it is good to add some blockage to the emperor." Your old man is not happy, and it shouldn't be that you are unhappy to do this, but we are not carefully prepared, so the loss of troops has not been done, and the secret passage has been exposed, it should be because of this displeasure, right? ”

"You don't know my father, he has a straightforward temperament, even if the world bears him, he will not do such an assassination." Lu Yi looked a little anxious.

"Do you regret it, I didn't expect Lu Yi, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, to be so afraid of his father, is it said that you are cowardly, or filial piety, or that the little ghost is also afraid of the wicked, and the title of Ling Zun killing God is really not called in vain." Zhao Yu said coldly.

Lu Yi stood up and waved his hand and said: "Although I, Lu Yi, am not very old, I have never done anything I regret, I have concerns from the beginning, but if I had to choose again, I would still do it." My father is a generation of heroes, but his heart is too soft, and I can share his worries regardless of whether I succeed or not. I'm afraid that my father is not ashamed, not to mention that I just respect his old man, not afraid of him, I am just afraid that I will disappoint him and make him sad. He's tired enough, and I don't want to block him anymore. ”

"Lu Yi, I misunderstood you just now, I'm sorry to talk too much." Zhao Yu got up and made a blessing salute and said, and then said: "We just got the news of the assassination failure, the news is blocked in the palace, and it is transmitted from the capital to Shandong, and after Ling Zun makes a decision, it will be transmitted to Guangzhou, but I am afraid that it will not be so fast." Could it be something else, Ling Zun asked you to go back. ”

"You also underestimate my Lu family's intelligence network, especially in the north, the Lu family's intelligence network is unimaginably powerful." When Lu Yi said this, a hint of pride suddenly appeared on his face.

Cui Ling asked at this time, "Then when are you going to leave?" ”

"Set off immediately, Cui Ling, you have participated in everything here, and you have understood everything, and you have made great contributions, I said that you should rest for a while, but now you have to help me for a while, please brother." Lu Yi said, Cui Ling smiled indifferently: "It's not a problem." ”

"Then you'll have to work for you." Lu Yi said.

Cui Ling said: "If you want to do this again, it will be too polite." ”

"I want to go too." Zhao Yi said suddenly, Lu Yi frowned slightly and asked, "What are you going to do?" I'll go back to see my father, what's the matter with you? ”

Cui Ling smiled: "That's it, go back like this." Uncle Lu still thought that Lao Lu was not doing his job and patronizing his children. ”

Zhao Yu said: "What nonsense, who said I didn't have a business?" ”

"Your so-called business will not be fine, what follow me is the right thing, right?" Lu Yi said: "This reason has been used many times, and it is not easy to use. ”

Zhao Yu snorted and said, "Stinky and beautiful you, naturally not." Originally, my task was to follow you home, and I wanted to consult with Ling Zun about something. ”

"Really?"

"Seriously."

Lu Yi ran wildly all the way, and Zhao Yu was not to be outdone. This kung fu on horseback Lu Yi is not worried that Zhao Qing can't bear it and can't stand it, because if he can practice such a good light skill, he has to endure much more hardships than this. Besides. Even if Zhao Hao can't ride a horse, he can learn it immediately with his handsome light skills.

Although Lu Yi hurried and hurried, he didn't say anything, but he just ran wildly. It didn't work day or night. No matter what, Zhao Yun is also a woman. He was only afraid that Zhao Hao would not be able to stand this day and night, practicing is practicing and enduring hardships, and the two are not the same thing. Therefore, when you are in a hurry during the day, you must stay in the city at night, and it is even better to eat, drink, and lazar. Zhao Yi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and only felt that Lu Yi was a careful man.

After six days, Lu Yi rushed to the border of Shandong, only to see a large army here. Although the heavy siege is impassable, the momentum is weak, and the people are listless. Many of the soldiers were wounded, and they really looked like a defeated army. On the way, Lu Yi had received information that the army had begun to attack Shandong, but after passing through the Qinling Mountains, he was in charge of the intelligence work, so he was like an ordinary person who was blocked by news and didn't know what was happening.

Lu Yi began to investigate for the sake of prudence, hoping to sneak into Shandong, although he would have to know sooner or later, he didn't want the court to know about it so early. Secondly, Lu Bing is not afraid of death, but there is no need to clash head-on with the imperial court, in case he is captured, he will not only ask for trouble, but also make his father fearful.

In short, it's not necessary to break through like this.

What happened to the soldiers and horses of the imperial court? This started two days ago, Qi Jingtong received the emperor's order, rectified the military appearance and military discipline, strictly required the soldiers to practice, and withstood the pressure to explain to Zhu Houxi what to sharpen the knife and not cut wood. Zhu Houxi also trusted Qi Jingtong, reassuring Qi Jingtong that the imperial court would definitely give all-round support, and he didn't care what others said.

Two days ago, Qi Jingtong finally launched an attack, and in addition to the three-sided all-round attack on the eastern sea, there was a total of nine route armies. But the result was unexpected, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the legendary and well-armed army of Lu Bing collapsed at the touch of a button, and fled backwards. Qi Jingtong was afraid of deception and stopped the army of Zhili, but because of the long battle line, the other roads were greedy and reckless, and this period of training made them full of confidence, and they had never had such a spirit.

Not to mention that although the drill is very tiring, but now that they look at the strong soldiers, these generals who still have a sense of honor are still beautiful in their hearts. Therefore, this kind of behavior of being greedy for merit and rashly going deep into the hinterland of the enemy army can also be understood in reason, that is, after ten years of grinding a sword, he finally drew his sword out of the sheath and wanted to show his ambitions, so he ventured forward. But in the art of war, they are really laughing and generous, in Lu Bing's words afterwards, Qi Jingtong is just a mortal, he can save all the soldiers and horses, and even win the whole war, but he can't stop the decay of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is rotten.

The Lu family's army shrank on all fronts, and those imperial soldiers and horses also stepped into the land of death. Although they were dull and complacent, they were not stupid, and they knew the trick of luring the enemy, so they sent scouts to find the way in front of them, even though the army was in hot pursuit. Except for some hilly areas in southwest Lunan and Lunan, the rest of the places are quite flat, even if you want to hide the ambush soldiers, you can see the fleeing soldiers and horses at a glance, and suddenly the soldiers are ape and want to chase the defeated army.

Immediately, some of the dazed generals ordered a full-scale pursuit, but strange things happened. The situation encountered in each area is strange, but not the same. First of all, the soldiers and horses from the northwest entered Texas from the direction of Hengshui, and the vanguard soldiers and horses fell directly into a huge hole, and how big is this pothole? At the same time, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the front row fell into this way, and there were sharp blades below, most of them died on the spot, and more were seriously injured and survived, and only a few survived in the cracks, but they couldn't climb up. The people behind hurriedly held their pace so that they didn't fall, but before they could rescue, they fell into the trap again. (To be continued......)
