Chapter Seventy-One: I Don't Know
After fighting for a while, the man's skills were the same as what Shen Lingyan said, on par with Lu Zhaoling, and the two were unable to distinguish between victory and defeat for a while.
Both sides were a little surprised.
Lu Zhaoling still had a torch in his hand, and he had nowhere to throw it, and he barely waved it twice to recharge it when defending, but it really restricted his actions.
After a while, Lu Zhaoling gradually became a little weaker, and the man began to gain the upper hand.
Both sides were thinking about the same at this time: why is this person so difficult.
Gotta find a way to do it quickly.
Lu Zhaoling thought in his heart.
Throw this torch at him later, and take the opportunity to hurt his leg? What if he dodges and the torch falls to the ground and burns the woods...... No way.
But if it continues like this, it will be overwhelming, and the gates are about to close.
Lu Zhaoling was anxious in his heart, and the offensive in his hand became more fierce for a while, desperately trying to suppress the other party.
At this moment, the man suddenly revealed an obvious flaw.
Lu Zhaoling immediately seized the opportunity, and after two punches and kicks, he finally put the knife on the man's neck.
Lu Zhaoling gasped slightly, but the hand holding the knife was still very steady.
"Come with me." Lu Zhaoling said.
"Why are you doing this?" The man spoke suddenly.
"What's the deal?" Lu Zhaoling was stunned.
"Aren't you catching strong men for the government?"
"Oh, so you're evading military service." Lu Zhaoling suddenly realized.
"You don't know? Then why are you arresting me? The man looked at her quizzically.
Lu Zhaoling thought about it, didn't know how to answer, and didn't bother to explain to him at this time, so he simply said: "You lost, you are not qualified to ask." ”
She then pointed a knife at the man, ordered him to lie on the ground with his hands behind his back, and then neatly tied him up.
"It's okay, I'll be able to get back to the city in time." Lu Zhaoling took the rope that tied the people, found the horse that had fled in panic, and hurried to the city gate.
Finally entered the city before closing.
After a busy day, Lu Zhaoling finally led the horse in one hand and a young man in the other, and returned to the Shen Mansion by moonlight.
It's a strange scene.
Shen Lingyan was waiting in the courtyard.
"Is that the man?" Lu Zhaoling pulled the man in front of Shen Lingyan.
"I don't know, I'll find out tomorrow by asking the prefect." Shen Lingyan saw that someone had been arrested, so he yawned and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.
"And what is he going to do tonight?" Lu Zhaoling asked hurriedly.
"Put Shen Fengjiu in that house, he is not here."
"No one is watching, what if he runs away in the night? Then I won't waste a day of hard work. Lu Zhaoling was a little angry.
"Then you tie him up in your room and watch it." After Shen Lingyan finished speaking, he shook his hand and closed the door.
"Huh! You stinky old man! Lu Zhaoling said angrily.
She looked back at the man, hesitated for a long time, and finally slowly led him into her room, and reluctantly tied him to the door.
"You'd better not try to escape." Lu Zhaoling warned him.
"You seem to be a little scared." The man looked at Lu Zhaoling playfully.
"You were caught and tied here by me, what am I afraid of?" Lu Zhaoling felt that there was something wrong with this man.
"My name is Yang Che, what's your name?" The man asked.
"Why should I tell you?"
"I don't think you're too old, the two of us should be about the same, I'm twenty, how old are you this year?" The man who claimed to be Yang Che ignored Lu Zhaoling's refusal and continued to ask to himself.
"Don't think I'm going to let you go if you're close to me."
"You're from the Western Regions, but you speak the original dialect very well, did you grow up here since you were a child? My mother is also from the Western Regions, but I was born in Jinzhou and has never been to the Western Regions. Yang Che didn't care at all about Lu Zhaoling ignoring him, and said again.
Sure enough, there is some Western Regions blood, which can be seen from the appearance.
Lu Zhaoling thought to himself.
"Why are you arresting me? I am not evading military service, my name is not on the roster. Yang Che asked again.
"The prefect of Jinzhou asked someone to arrest you back, don't you know the reason?" Lu Zhaoling said strangely.
"Of course I do, I want to know if you know."
This knowing, knowing, knowing, and going, all make people dizzy.
Lu Zhaoling's head is big.
"I don't know, I'm just a pay-as-you-can-do business. But I see that you talk so much, as if you have a stomach full of grievances and no place to appeal, if you want to say it, I can also listen to it. ”
This man doesn't seem to shut up easily. Lu Zhaoling had nothing to do, so he simply moved a chair and sat in front of him, ready to hear what he was going to say.
"Actually, Yang An, the prefect of Jinzhou, is my father."
"Huh?" Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Che opened his mouth, Lu Zhaoling was quite surprised.
"My mother is from the Western Regions, Yang An liked my mother at the beginning, but she was afraid of the wife in the family and didn't dare to include my mother in the house, so for so many years, our mother and daughter have been living outside. Recently, the imperial court recruited Yang An's second son to join the army, and he was reluctant, so he hit me with the idea, wanting me to join the army for his useless son, and also said with rhetoric that I would have a chance to make a contribution. "Yang Che is not very verbose when talking about things, it is very simple and direct.
"I see...... You don't want to go, so you flee outside the city? ”
Yang Che nodded: "Yang An's subordinates don't have anyone who can fight, and I'm actually not afraid of them coming to catch me, and I'm still a little worried about my mother, so I didn't go far." ”
"You're pretty good, who did you learn from?" Lu Zhaoling saw that he was quite confident in his skills, so he asked curiously.
The two of them had a fight, and Lu Zhaoling felt that Yang Che's skills were really good. She originally thought that she had been practicing with Shen Fengjiu for two years, and she could barely be regarded as half a master of the rivers and lakes, but she didn't expect to meet an opponent of equal strength casually.
"My mother has a martial arts cheatbook in her hand, and I learned it." Yang Che said.
I don't know if it's true or not...... Lu Zhaoling was skeptical.
"Heh, Yang An just knew that I could do some kung fu, so he used this to trick me, saying that he took advantage of the Western Expedition to tell me to go to the battlefield with this kung fu to make meritorious deeds." Yang Che didn't wait for Lu Zhaoling to respond, and continued with a sneer.
"Hmm...... On a case-by-case basis, there is some truth to this. Lu Zhaoling thought of the stone that he was looking forward to going into battle to kill the enemy, "With your skills, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the army soon." ”
"But I don't want to do that. When I go into battle and kill the enemy, are the soldiers on the other side my enemies? They never did anything to be sorry for me, so why should I fight them? In order to maintain the tyranny of Emperor Anping? Sell your life to this tyrannical and tyrannical dumb king? Yang Che said excitedly.
Well...... I didn't expect this person to dare to say so.
"You're so interesting." Lu Zhaoling said with a smile.
"What's the matter, is that weird? I know that some people want to join the army, want to build up their military achievements and get ahead. But I don't want to. It is said that it is for the people to live in peace, but in fact, it is an unnecessary conquest, just to satisfy the emperor's selfish desires. I don't want to go to the battlefield and kill people for such reasons. After Yang Che said this, he paused slightly, and continued, "I think you are strange, you are from the Western Regions, Anping went west for no reason and brought war to your hometown, why do you still help Anping's government?" ”
