Chapter 370: We Won
After the cheers, everyone remembered the brothers who died in vain in the Xishan camp, and fell silent again, losing the joy of celebrating the victory.
"General...... "Someone wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
Without evidence, how can they avenge their brothers?
"Don't worry, I'll find the murderer." Lu Ce's firm eyes reassured everyone.
"Good! Good! Good! The soldiers of the Xishan Battalion were very moved when they heard this, and they couldn't help but shout.
Lu Ce comforted everyone a few words, and sent Lu Yi and Lu Er to buy back the coffins in the whole city.
After all, those soldiers who sacrificed for them still have to be buried in peace.
"We're going to help." The group scrambled to collect the body.
"Yes, tell them we won." Wang Jue clenched his fists and announced loudly.
A simple sentence caused everyone's eyes to turn red again.
yes, they won.
It's just that the price of this win is too great.
That's a hundred living lives.
Lu Ce did not stop them, but followed them to collect the bodies of the dead soldiers of the Xishan Battalion.
By the time he returned to the General's Mansion, it was already completely dark.
Lu Ce saw Li Tingyu guarding the door from a distance.
"Why are you standing here waiting for me, it's cold and dewy, go back to the house quickly."
After getting off the horse, Lu Ce took the lantern in Li Tingyu's hand and held her warm little hand.
"If you don't go home, I won't be sure." Li Tingyu shook Lu Ce's hand.
The two went back to the courtyard side by side.
"It's late at night, so I won't go to say hello to my second uncle and second aunt. You go for me and tell them I'm all right. Lu Ce turned his head to look at Lu Yi and ordered.
"Yes." Lu Yi received the order and went to the courtyard of the Ruan family.
"Azer, you are so powerful, you won two games in a row, and directly slapped those who said that you have no strength in the face, you are handsome!" Li Tingyu saw that Lu Ce didn't seem to be in a good mood, and racked his brains to praise him.
"You're better than me. One thousand taels of silver was directly multiplied tenfold, and the net profit was nine thousand taels of silver. Lu Ce had something on his mind, but he didn't want his wife to worry about him, so he boasted back with a smile.
"You know all this." Li Tingyu scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Before the game, there was a fool who bet on a thousand taels of silver, and the Lu family's little gentleman won, this matter has been spread all over, can I not know." Lu Ce stretched out his hand and rubbed her head dotingly.
"Who do you say is a fool?" Li Tingyu pretended to be a raw temperament and asked.
"Whoever loves is whom, anyway, we are not."
With that, the two of them went back to their room.
Lu Ce took off his coat and stretched comfortably.
"It's better to be at home. I'm really tired these days. ”
"That's right, as the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel." Li Tingyu hung up his clothes for him and said with a smile.
"I'm living in a kennel, so I'm not a dog?" Lu Ce frowned and said dissatisfied.
"Hahaha, I didn't say that." Li Tingyu looked at him with great joy,
Seeing Li Tingyu laughing, Lu Ce also laughed.
"Come here, let me hold you." He opened his hands and waited for Li Tingyu to throw him into his arms.
Li Tingyu was very cooperative, sat on Lu Ce's lap, grabbed Lu Ce's arm with both hands, and said with a smile: "What, you still want to tempt me?" ”
Hearing the word "seduction", Lu Ce glanced at her sadly: "I want to lure her, but someone is still a little girl, and I'm not so beastly." ”
"Hey, hey." Li Tingyu lowered his head a little embarrassed.
It is indeed rare for couples like them to be married for half a year and have not yet had a round house.
"I picked up nine thousand taels of silver for nothing, do you have anything you want, I'll buy it for you. Say what you want, my sister is rich~" Li Tingyu hurriedly changed the topic.
"I want you." Lu Ce's hot eyes made Li Tingyu a little helpless.
"Tell me what you can buy with silver." Li Tingyu raised his forehead.
"Okay. We are invaluable and cannot be bought. Then I have to reluctantly ......" Lu Ce deliberately whetted her appetite.
"What are you trying to do?" Li Tingyu urged.
"I'll sell myself reluctantly, Zhaozhao, you bought me, right?" Lu Ce threw a wink at her, which made Li Tingyu laugh.
"You were originally mine, what else to buy." Li Tingyu stretched out his hand and knocked Lu Ce's forehead hard, "Nonsense again." ”
"I'm just talking nonsense to you." Lu Ce didn't feel the pain, and rubbed his face against Li Tingyu's hand that knocked on his forehead.
The two of them laughed for a while, then washed up and rested.
After all, Lu Ce will have to go to court tomorrow.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Ce got up early, and Li Tingyu was also surprised by his action of getting up, looking at the still dark sky outside the window in a daze, and muttered, "Why is it so early." ”
"It's early, naturally it's early." Lu Ce said as he got dressed.
"It's really tiring to be an official." Li Tingyu rubbed his eyes and was about to get up to help him tie his belt, but he was pressed back to the bed by Lu Ce, who was quick-eyed.
"It's still early, good, you can sleep a little longer, don't worry about me." Lu Ce twisted the quilt for her, for fear that she would catch a cold.
"Okay, then you stay safe." Li Tingyu replied obediently, yawned, and fell asleep.
The sleepy little milk voice made Lu Ce unconsciously raise the corners of his mouth.
His Zhaozhao, why is he so cute.
When Lu Ce arrived at the main hall, Wei Zhong had not yet arrived.
I think I should have no face to see people.
"You won't pretend to be sick and not come to the court, right?" Lu Ce secretly guessed.
Officials are arriving one after another.
Because the positions of officials are sorted according to their grades, and Lu Ce has no grades, he is naturally ignored by everyone.
When Emperor Wenjing went to court, he saw Lu Ce standing alone in the center at a glance.
"See Your Majesty." The ministers saluted Emperor Wenjing in unison.
"Everyone, love Qing Ping."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." There was another loud shout, and the officials stood one after another.
Someone secretly looked at Lu Ce in the center, and he didn't know what His Majesty would do to him.
Lu Ce was very generous, letting others look at him, but he bowed his head respectfully and played an obedient courtier.
"What else do you Aiqing have to say about yesterday's competition?" Without waiting for them to mention it, Emperor Wen Jing took the initiative to throw out the chatterbox.
No one dared to answer this question.
If you don't answer this well, you will offend many people.
Emperor Wen Jing frowned slightly, what does this group of people mean.
Don't you take him as an emperor in your eyes?
He didn't answer any of his questions.
"The minister thought that he should be willing to gamble and lose. After all, a gentleman says that a horse is difficult to chase. Da Sima was the first to stand up.
Emperor Wen Jing took his gaze away from Da Sima without moving, and looked at Wei Zhong, whose head was so low that he couldn't lower it anymore: "General Wei, what do you say?" ”
