Chapter Twenty-Five: The Water of the South River
When traveling, it is a trivial matter to travel and travel, but if the journey is safe and smooth, it can also give a little comfort to the tired heart. However, God is always naughty, and if he doesn't make it bad for a while, he feels itchy and unbearable.
"Miss, in twenty miles, we will be by the South River."
Lu Anjin breathed a sigh of relief, "When you arrive at Nanhe, it's not far from Nancheng." ”
Thankfully, there's hope.
"It's finally almost here." Father Lu got out of the carriage and moved his stiff limbs, "Time is not forgiving," he smiled bitterly, "It's not okay to be dissatisfied now." ”
Lu Anjin stepped forward and said with a sweet smile: "Nonsense! Daddy, you're in your prime now! ”
"Miss," Ling Zuo stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists, and his face was serious, "Nanhe is often infested with water bandits, and the imperial court has sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but all of them have returned in vain. This gang of water cowards is cunning, please pay more attention to adults and misses! ”
Father Lu's face, which was not yet completely clear, was instantly clouded, and whether this Yin Nan was a treasure land of feng shui or a poor mountain and bad water really needs to be discussed.
"Shui Ko?" Lu Anjin's face is not good-looking.
Their experience along the way is simply incredible. First the bandits robbed the road, then they stayed overnight in a black shop, then they encountered a plague of locusts, and then there was a plague. Before she could catch her breath, she told her that there was a water coward!
Lu Anjin raised his head and looked at the sky at forty-five degrees, his eyes were extremely melancholy.
According to this rhythm, Rao She is a female King Kong, and she can't withstand this kind of destruction!
Ling Zuo's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he was silent for a moment, "These water cowards have done all kinds of evil in burning, killing and looting along the Nanhe River, and the crimes they have committed are heinous, and there is no humanity at all!" ”
Some things, not wanting to, do not mean forgetting; If you don't say it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt.
Ling You let out a long sigh and patted Ling Zuo's shoulder, giving him silent comfort.
"Ling Zuo, why are you sad?"
Ling Zuo bit his lip tightly, trembling all over.
"Miss, Ling Zuo's family..."
Lu Anjin unceremoniously interrupted Ling You's answer, "Ling Zuo, you come and tell me!" ”
Ling Zuo clenched his teeth, desperately restraining the surging murderous aura. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shui Kou slaughtered our entire village, if it weren't for the prince, I would have died a long time ago!" ”
Lu Anjin asked again: "Are you willing?" ”
"Unwilling!"
"Do you want revenge?"
Ling Zuo nodded heavily.
"Since you want revenge, cheer me up. Tragedy has happened, sadness doesn't help, don't pretend to be melancholy here, since you can't let go and forget, go and destroy them for me! ”
When Father Lu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Miss!" Ling Zuo's eyes widened.
"Look at what, such a blood feud, if you don't report it, don't say that you are a man who stands up to the sky, I look down on you."
Ling Zuo was so excited that he was about to cry, tooth for tooth and eye for eye, it was not that he had never thought about revenge, but he was alone, and it was undoubtedly a mayfly to take revenge.
Ling You looked at Lu Anjin with a calm face dumbfounded, and it was a capital suit for this woman!
A woman who is worthy of being a prince, she is so strong!
When Father Lu heard this shocking statement, his eyes twitched unconsciously.
He suddenly had an ominous premonition, and always felt that in the future life, with such a maverick little ancestor, it would definitely not be calm.
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you."
Ling Zuo knelt on the ground with a thud and called out respectfully, "Miss." ”
Lu Anjin took a step back, staggered her body, and she yelled very unhappily: "Hey, don't always kneel to me, it's very life-breaking, okay?" ”
The corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help twitching.
Lu Anjin felt that Ling Zuo and Ling Right were good everywhere, but this was not good, and he always knelt down for her at every turn.
"Men kneel to their parents, remember, if you kneel at will next time, I will make you kneel for the rest of your life!"
Ling Zuo wiped his tears, his voice trembling a little, "Subordinates obey orders." ”
Ling You clenched his fists and replied respectfully, "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
Lu Anjin looked at Ling Zuo, who was still kneeling in place, and said angrily, "Do you know why you haven't stood up yet, waiting for me to invite you?" ”
"No, you don't." Ling Zuo smiled shyly and stood up numbly.
"The situation of Nanhe Shuikou, you can tell me in detail, the more detailed the better."
Ling Zuo was so excited at this time that he finally had a chance to get revenge, and the turbulent emotion almost annihilated him. He looked straight at Lu Anjin, and didn't hear what she was saying for a while.
"Hey, hey, come back to your senses."
Ling Zuo still didn't react, Ling Zuo had no choice but to stomp on him.
"Ugh." It hurts to death.
When Ling Zuo came back to his senses, he saw Lu Anjin with his hands on his chest, looking at him with a smile, "The sky is blue and the sky is white, you can also run away, tell me, what are you thinking?" ”
"I didn't think about anything," Ling Zuo was a little embarrassed, and glanced at Lu Anjin from time to time, "What did you just say?" ”
"If you want to see me, look at it generously, I don't know, do you think you like me?"
Ling Zuo was startled, his face was red and his neck was thick and he retreated three feet away, as swift as he was dodging the plague. What are you kidding, if the prince misunderstands, his head will definitely be separated from his neck.
The corners of Lu Anjin's mouth couldn't help twitching, "Just kidding, do you need to make such a fuss?" ”
Ling You didn't think calmly, a joke of yours could kill Ling Zuo in minutes.
After all, the prince, everything is good, it is an extreme short-term protection. Or rather, watch out!
"Miss," Ling Zuo cried with a sad face, "my subordinates don't want to be wiped before they can take revenge." ”
Lu Anjin: ......
She's really just making a harmless joke, and she really doesn't have to take it seriously.
"An Jin," Father Lu really couldn't stand it, "You are a boudoir woman, how can you speak so out of proportion." ”
"Daddy, the journey is really boring, don't I have some fun?"
"Ridiculous!" Father Lu had a dark face, threw his sleeves and left.
The corners of Lu Anjin's mouth twitched, she looked at Lu's mother innocently, and said pitifully, "Mother, I'm really just joking." ”
What kind of character her own daughter is, Lu's mother knows very well.
"You, you, you like to make your father angry, don't do it next time, otherwise your mother won't be able to help you."
Lu Anjin stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, "Daddy's ability to bear it is too poor," she turned her head, "And you, it's just a joke, as for you." Am I a jackal, a tiger and a leopard, will I eat you or what, do I need you to retreat so much! ”
She doesn't want to lose face!
Ling Zuo wanted to cry without tears, he was in a hurry, but he didn't know how to explain it.
"Miss," the good brother pulled him at the right time, "I just received the news that Nanhe Shuikou robbed the Li family's caravan and captured the second young master of the Li family. ”
"And then?"
Ling You saw that she looked heartless, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, "The Li family sent a letter for help to the prefect's mansion. ”
Lu Anjin said viciously, "Miss Ben is busy, she is not available!" ”
Seeing that she was getting worse and worse, Lu Mu smiled helplessly and said, "Jin'er." ”
"Mother, don't be angry, I'm just talking."
She can only fight and get over the addiction now, the Li family is the biggest wealthy businessman in Yinnan, and Yinnan is now greatly injured, and there are many places where silver is needed.
Although Dongqi values agriculture over business, Lu Anjin deeply understands a truth, money can make ghosts grind, and every penny is worth everything.
Therefore, for the Li family, peaceful coexistence is the best policy.
"Let's go."
Ling Zuo looked at the sky, "My subordinates suggest that we rest here for one night and set off tomorrow." ”
Lu Anjin understood what he meant, she glanced at Lu Mu, and then looked in the direction of the carriage, "Okay." ”
Ling Zuo was obviously very familiar with this place, he found an inn with ease, Lu's father and Lu's mother were tired for a day, so they rested early.
About half a pillar of incense passed, Lu Anjin gently opened the door, and found that Ling Zuo and Ling were guarding her door.
"I don't think I hired you to be the door god!"
Ling Zuo: "My subordinates know that you must have important things to do, Miss." ”
Ling You: "Therefore, my subordinates are waiting early, waiting for the dispatch of the young lady at any time." ”
Lu Anjin's eyelids jumped.
"So, miss, where are we going now?"
Lu Anjin asked a little uncalmly, "Who told you that I was going out now?" ”
The two bowed their heads in tacit understanding, indicating that they didn't believe her nonsense.
Lu Anjin sighed helplessly, "You are all gone, who will protect the safety of my father." ”
"Miss, don't worry." Ling Zuo clapped his hands, and the five black-clothed people came down in response, and they saluted respectfully, "Miss! ”
Lu Anjin: ......
Ling You consciously answered his questions, "Miss Yu, this inn is a secret stake for the black guards. ”
"Blackguard?"
"Yes, the Black Guard is under the control of Ling Wei."
The corners of Lu Anjin's mouth twitched, "How do I feel that your Xianwang Mansion looks like a killer organization." ”
Ling You: ......
There is nothing wrong with this statement. In many cases, they did the work of Assassins.
Lu Anjin thought for a moment, "Ling Zuo stays," she pointed to the two men in black, "You come with me." ”
"Miss!" Didn't you say let him take revenge, why leave him behind!
"I know you're familiar with this area, so it's definitely not just a waterway to go to Nancheng."
Ling Zuo lowered his head in some disappointment, "Yes." ”
"The soldiers are divided into two routes, and we take the water route. You send my father and mother to Nancheng safely, and then come back to us. ”
Ling Zuo raised his head suddenly, "So, Miss agreed with me to go?" ”
Lu Anjin glanced at him, "You will avenge your own revenge, is it possible that you still expect me to spend my brains and efforts!" ”
"No, no, subordinates..."Ling Zuo said incoherently excitedly, "subordinates don't dare." ”
"Okay, no more nonsense, let's act quickly." Lu Anjin turned his head and said solemnly, "Ling Zuo, you must protect my father and mother." ”
As soon as Ling Zuo wanted to kneel down to show his determination, he looked up and saw Lu Anjin's dangerous eyes, and his slightly bent legs stood straight in an instant.
"Miss," he said, "my subordinates will fight to the death to protect my lord's wife." ”
Lu Anjin didn't delay much, she couldn't wait to meet this group of infamous water gangsters for a while.
"Miss," Ling Zuo suddenly stopped her, he hesitated for a long time, his square face distorted and changed, and he whispered, "The prince is nearby." ”
