Chapter 632: It's Daddy's Job Again (One Shift)

"Hmph, believe you ghost, bad old man, very bad!" Xia Qiqi blurted out a phrase that is quite popular in modern times.

Lu Jiu was blindsided first, and it took a long time to react, the bad old man was him, he directly rested his chin on the top of Xia Qiqi's head, and said naturally, "I'm a bad old man, you are the old woman, the old man and the old woman are still a couple!" ”

Xia Qiqi: "......"

Forget it, men's mouths, deceitful ghosts, don't believe it!

Even so, Xia Qiqi's heart was still sweet, she raised her head, her watery eyes met Lu Jiu's deep eyes, "You haven't told me yet, why are you back?" King Yan asked you to come back? Or did you have nothing to do with it yourself and kicked them? ”

Lu Jiu sneered, "How did you say I came back?" ”

"It's possible!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"They want to suppress bandits, just not far from here, I took a break and came secretly." Lu Jiudao.

said that he came secretly, but in fact, it was not a coward, this time the coach was a coward, and before he got close to Phoenix Mountain, he was scared and weak.

found an excuse, said that he was sick, and refused to move half a step further.

Lu Jiu naturally didn't want to waste time there, so he simply left, anyway, relying on those people, the thieves would not be able to catch them in his life.

"Bandits? What bandits? Xia Qiqi frowned.

I don't know why, she feels that this task may be very heavy, and it is even similar to looking for three flavor medicines at the beginning, which is a thankless statement.

"Have you heard of the bandits of Phoenix Mountain? They told me to exterminate the bandits! Lu Jiudao.

"Phoenix Mountain? It's a little familiar, I don't know where I've heard it. Xia Qiqi thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when he was in the county seat, he heard the shopkeeper of the rice shop say that Phoenix Mountain is a den of thieves, and the merchants who come and go from the south to the north have suffered losses there.

Some took the initiative to pay some protection money, and let it go.

Some refused to pay, and even the people and goods were seized, and the family members were asked to pay a ransom.

Looking at the frightened look on the face of the shopkeeper of the rice shop, it almost confirmed Xia Qiqi's affirmation that this was not a good errand.

"How many people did King Yan give?" Xia Qiqi asked a very important question.

In this era, the value of force determines everything, the greater the number of people, the greater the advantage, if King Yan gives thousands, tens of thousands of soldiers, Lu Jiu can also take the opportunity to pick up this cheap and make a meritorious contribution in the military camp.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Xia Qiqi thought so in her heart, and when Lu Jiu told her the actual situation, she almost fainted.

"Thirteen, the boss is not me!"

Xia Qiqi: Nima, is this funny? A few bandits on the hills, dial thirteen people?

"Ah Jiu, this job is thankless, you can't force it!" Xia Qiqi pointed out the crux of the problem to the point.

Lu Jiu agreed with her point of view, "I think so too, but I want to find out the strength of those bandits, and then decide what to do next." ”

Xia Qiqi nodded, "This time, I want to go with you, and after understanding the strength of that group of bandits, let's figure out a way together!" ”

Lu Jiu looked at Xia Qiqi, about to say something, Xia Qiqi reached out and covered his mouth, "I know what you want to say, but I want to go!" Ah Jiu, at this time, we should be united with the enemy, not to mention, you are by my side, I will not have an accident. ”

Xia Qiqi's voice was soft and glutinous, Lu Jiu's body was soft, where did he dare to disobey Xia Qiqi's intentions.

However, he also said to Xia Qiqi: "You follow me, go out and dress up as a man, if there is anything wrong, you go first, leave me alone!" ”

Xia Qiqi chick pecked rice as if nodding, the specific problem will be dealt with specifically, she has agreed now, when the time comes, how convenient, how to come!

……

Phoenix Mountain is thirty miles away from Tongzhou, but because it is not a straight line, Phoenix Mountain is closer to Ping'an County, but it is not subordinate to Ping'an County, it belongs to the jurisdiction of Sui County, the county seat next to Ping'an County.

If Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu want to inquire about the actual situation, they have to go to Sui County to inquire, if they are bolder, pretend to be past businessmen, and go to those bandit nests in Phoenix Mountain to go around, they may be closer to the truth of the matter.

But that's as a last resort.

Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu were not in a hurry to go to Sui County for a while, and after lunch, they went back to Dayu Village with Lu Jiu.

Not long after he stepped into the village, everyone in the village knew about Lu Jiu's return.

After a while, the gate of the four-room courtyard was full of people.

Most people think that Lu Jiu was kicked out of the barracks, and now he is back in a gray way, and there are also Luo Juan and Zhao Lan, who have a good relationship with Sifang, and come to relationship Lu Jiu.

Luo Juan looked worried, "Qiqi, why is Ah Jiu coming back, is there anything wrong?" ”

Xia Qiqi grinned, "It's nothing, he wasn't kicked out, he didn't become a deserter, there was something else." As for the specifics, I can't say, but I say what secrets are involved! ”

Xia Qiqi said with a mysterious face, and Luo Juan immediately believed it.

Then he explained to those broken mouths, and it didn't take long for everyone to know that Lu Jiu had a secret mission, and no one knew what it was.

As soon as Lu Jiu went home, Xia Qiqi's two younger sisters surrounded Lu Jiu, as well as Huzi, the young man who had just come back from the academy, with a smile on his face and a longing look on his face, probably wanting to hear what the military camp was like from Lu Jiu's mouth.

Lu Jiu is not a talker, except for Xia Qiqi, he basically doesn't like to talk about his own life.

Maybe it's a habit that has been cultivated in the mountains for so many years, or or, in his heart, from beginning to end, the only one who can risk his life to believe is Xia Qiqi.

"Huzi, if you have any questions, you can ask me, your brother Ajiu has told me about the military camp." Xia Qiqi said to Huzi with a smile.

Huzi is Jiang Yan's son, and now he is also her younger brother, and the family basically loves and respects Huzi.

Coupled with Huzi's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Xia Qiqi really didn't want to see him disappointed.

"Really? I wonder what the general looks like? Is it high? Is it strong? Is it sturdy? And horses, what does it look like for a general to ride a big horse? ”

In the end, it is a child, and the questions asked are relatively shallow, and Xia Qiqi knew that he dared to boast about Haikou, saying that Lu Jiu told her about the military camp.

"The general is just the appearance of an ordinary person, tall and short, fat and thin, as for the general riding a big horse, it is actually the same as when your Brother Ah Jiu rode a horse, and he is not even as handsome as your Brother Ah Jiu!"

Xia Qiqi saw Lu Jiu riding a horse, handsome, cool, she liked it very much.

Huzi got his answer, smiled with satisfaction, went back to the house, came out with rice paper and brushes, and went to practice calligraphy in the yard alone.
