Section 110 Chapter 110 Closure of the city

From the moment the Piaoxiang Liquor Workshop in Qingshi County was suddenly about to be bought, Lu Xiang'er has always felt that there is a force peeping into the soju process from the dark. After coming to Jiangling Mansion, she learned that there was also the participation of the 'Chen Wangyu Party', and Lu Xianger was even more shocked. But what Lu Xianger didn't expect the most was that Liao Wenzhuo, the eldest son of the Liao family, was actually the principal.

"Little lady Lu, you can think about it, I'll come back tomorrow."

The first meeting between Liao Wenzhuo and Lu Xianger only took half an hour, and he left in a hurry. However, Liao Wenzhuo's words have been made very clear, and he only gave Lu Xiang'er one night to think about it. When he came here again, Lu Xiang'er would have to make a decision.

Lu Xiang'er has already reached a conclusion in her heart about whether to hand over the soju process, which is not in her exam. After Lu Xiang'er left, she had been thinking about another problem. If she handed over the process of pouring wine, would Liao Wenzhuo regret it and not let her go.

Although she only got along with Liao Wenzhuo for half an hour, Lu Xianger saw most of this person clearly. Liao Wenzhuo is definitely the kind of person who does it willfully and only cares about his own feelings. Just look at how he dares to take Lu Xiang'er captive in broad daylight.

However, Liao Wenzhuo's time to consider Lu Xiang'er was only one night, which was obviously a bit unusual. Lu Xiang'er sat on the wooden bed, looking through the gap in the window, looking at the pitch black outside. Until now, Lu Xianger doesn't know where she is locked up or what the situation is outside. The only thing she could do now was to seriously come up with a way to stall for time.

Lu Xiang'er believes that Lu Hong and Huo Qingsong should be working hard to find her at this time. Lu Xiang'er wasn't sure if Lu Hong could find herself, but Lu Xiang'er believed that Huo Qingsong must have the means and the ability to rescue her.

Huo Qingsong had said before that Liao Wenzhuo had an intersection with the 'Chen Wangyu Party'. It's just that I don't know if they met unintentionally or intentionally, and Huo Qingsong is only a little wary of Liao Wenzhuo. Therefore, Huo Qingsong hinted that Lu Xianger and Liao Wenbo would cooperate that day.

The first time I spent the night in a completely unfamiliar place, there were no relatives and friends here, and Lu Xianger was very unaccustomed to it. And inside and outside the house, it was very quiet, and Lu Xiang'er's mind involuntarily sprung up a lot of things. She was trying to stall for time, but her thoughts were diverted elsewhere. Especially thinking that she was taken captive, Lu Xiang'er became more and more strange.

Since Huo Qingsong used the strategy of 'striking the east and attacking the west', it seems that he has always been under Liao Wenzhuo's control, so Lu Xiang'er will be so easily captured by him. From Lu Xianger's contact with Liao Wenzhuo just now, Lu Xianger found that Liao Wenzhuo was a bit scheming, but he couldn't be called scheming. Of course, it is even more impossible for Liao Wenzhuo to guess the strategy used by a battle-hardened general like Huo Qingsong.

"Unless...... Unless Liao Wenzhuo already knew that Huo Qingsong would use the strategy of 'striking the east and attacking the west'. Lu Xiang'er raised her head suddenly, and her heart lit up.

In the dead of night, Lu Xiang'er didn't fall asleep, and the few people in the Zhichong Mansion had no intention of resting. After Lu Hong was injured, he was carried by Huo Qingsong to Zhichong Mansion to recuperate, but Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng at home didn't know anything about it. And Liao Wenbo and Qingya, who know it, seem to be taboo in this place, and there is no news for a whole day, and they are very honest in Liao Mansion.

The injured Lu Hong seemed to have left Qingya behind, and after sobering up a few times in the afternoon, he kept asking Lu Xianger for news. The two government soldiers who were responsible for taking care of Lu Hong received Huo Qingsong's orders and Chaoxia's entrustment, and they always avoided answering Lu Hong's questions. When Lu Hong saw this, he understood that there was no news of Lu Xiang'er, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Every time he recalled the scene of Lu Xiang'er's abduction, Lu Hong felt more and more remorseful and hated his carelessness. If he pays more attention, maybe he can escape with Lu Xiang'er. Going further, if he hadn't been delayed for a while, he might have been in the carriage, and maybe he would have escaped from those people.

Thinking of this, Lu Hong felt that he couldn't lie down. But when he moved slightly, the pain of the wound was intense, and Lu Hong lay back again and gasped for breath. Lu Hong tried several times, but he didn't sit up, and he seemed to have pulled the wound out.

"What are you doing, lie down...... Hmm......" As soon as Chaoxia walked in, she saw Lu Hong's movements, and immediately walked over quickly. But because her movements were too intense, she had to cover her abdomen and stop when she was about to walk in front of Lu Hong's bed in two or three steps.

Lu Hong heard Chaoxia's muffled snort and looked at her. Seeing her movements, Lu Hong was experiencing it, and hurriedly exclaimed, "Sister Chaoxia, how could you get hurt?" Could it be that you helped General Huo investigate the injuries suffered by the 'Chen Wangyu Party'? Why don't Xiang'er and I know? ”

"It seems that you are in good spirits, and you can say so many words in one breath." Chaoxia straightened up for a moment, and her movements were not as fast as just now. She came to Lu Hong's bed as if she was moving slowly, sat on the chair next to her, and looked at Lu Hong with a smile in her eyes.

Seeing the blood oozing from the wrapped strips of cloth on Lu Hong's body, Chaoxia's face immediately changed. She first glared at Lu Hong, then got up and said, "The wound has cracked again, I'll find someone to give you medicine and change the cloth strip." ”

"Sister Chaoxia, don't be busy yet. I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all. Besides, it's so late, so don't bother people. Lu Hong smiled at Chaoxia, and then stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down. Chaoxia was afraid that Lu Hong would hurt the wound again, so she sat down very obediently immediately.

Looking at Lu Hong's gaze, Chaoxia said softly: "I know that if you don't figure it out, you won't let me go, then I'll talk to you, so that you don't have to stay here by yourself and be bored." ”

At this time, Lu Xiang'er had already been taken away, and with such a blatant action of 'Chen Wangyu', it was impossible for Huo Qingsong, as a person sent by His Majesty the Emperor, to let them go easily. Chaoxia knew this very well, so she told Lu Hong about her experience during this time, and she didn't hide anything.

Lu Hong knew a lot of things from Chaoxia's words, but Lu Xiang'er already knew, but she didn't know. He didn't expect that when he was busy with the imperial examination and the love of his children, so many things would happen. Moreover, Lu Xianger still deliberately didn't want to tell him so as not to distract him. Thinking that Lu Xiang'er thought about him so much, Lu Hong was a little ashamed again.

Chaoxia saw Lu Hong's emotions, so she said again: "Brother Hong, you don't have to be like this. Xiang'er said that they are all their own family, and there is no need to blame themselves for anything. ”

"Sister Chaoxia, I know it too. However, Xiang'er has done so much for me. And when she had an accident, I couldn't help anything......" Lu Hong, who was lying on the bed, felt sad in his heart, so he turned his head inside, not wanting Chaoxia to see the look in his eyes.

Chaoxia looked at the back of Lu Hong's head and sighed slightly, not knowing what to say. In fact, in Chaoxia's heart, she is also very worried at the moment. She knew very well in her heart that the later she found Lu Xiang'er, the more unfavorable it would be for Lu Xiang'er. From Chaoxia's injury, we can know that these 'Chen Wangyu Dang' are all outlaws, who knows what they will do. Lu Hong and Chaoxia both remembered Lu Xiang'er, and the two were speechless for a while, and there was a moment of silence in the room.

Of course, the 'moment' was short, as hurried footsteps soon sounded outside the room. Thinking that someone is still coming to this room at such a late hour, it means that there must be some news. So, Lu Hong also turned his head, Chaoxia also stood up, and the two looked at the door at the same time.

As Huo Qing hurriedly walked in, Chaoxia couldn't hold back any longer, and her voice was a little anxious: "Is there news of Xiang'er?" ”

"Little lady Zhaoxia, Young Master Lu, there is no news of Little Lady Lu for the time being." Huo Bao gave a salute to the two of them, and his tone changed:

"However, the general of my family has just returned from Lord Thorn's mansion, and he asked the younger one to tell the two of you. Before, Fang Duwei had already judged that the 'Chen Wang Yu Party' had brought Lu Xiaoniang back to Jiangling Mansion. Although I don't know where they are hiding, my general has already negotiated with Lord Assassin Shi to 'seal the city' from now on until the 'Chen Wang Yu Party' is captured......"

"'Lockdown'?!" Chaoxia and Lu Hong spoke at the same time, and their voices were also a little high.

Huo Bao's own heart was also very strange, but he still didn't reveal his thoughts, and replied to Huo Qingsong's words: "Little lady Chaoxia, Lu Gongzi, my general did let the little one tell the two of you like this." My general also said that let the two of them rest assured that as long as the news of the lockdown spreads, the 'Chen Wangyu Party' will not dare to make any unusual moves. ”

"Oh, we know, please tell General Huo, if there is anything you need my help with, please feel free to come to me." Chaoxia sent Huo Bao out of the room, turned around and sat down next to Lu Hong's bed.

Chaoxia and Lu Hong looked at each other for a long time before she said, "It's not like Huo Qingsong's style at all. Back then, when he was quelling the rebellion in Jiangnan, he was very calm. In a few years, how did he become so impatient? ”

Lu Hong also nodded slightly and said, "Sister Chaoxia, I haven't known General Huo for a long time, and I don't know him very well. But it is a little unusual for him to be in such a hurry to 'lock down the city'. In case the 'Chen Wang Yu Dang' is not in Jiangling Mansion, General Huo will definitely be disposed of by His Majesty the Emperor. However, as long as Xiang'er can be safe, I can't care so much. ”

"Reasonable, maybe General Huo has other goals." Chaoxia thought of Lu Xiang'er's safety and agreed with Lu Hong's last sentence.

However, Chaoxia's heart was very puzzled. Before, she had also heard Fang Zhe's words, but it was just Fang Zhe's speculation, which was not necessarily the truth at all. But Huo Qingsong took it as real, and actually made such a big move, what was he doing it for.
