Chapter 102: Return to Qingshi County Again
[Chapter 3, Volume 3]
Section 102 Chapter 102 and then return to Qingshi County
Huo Qingqing walked away, and Huo Qingsong was also ready to send Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong back to the Lu family, and he would go back to Zhichong Mansion. After all, this is the outskirts of Jiangling Mansion, and it is not easy to go to the Lu family, so Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong naturally will not refuse.
Back at home, the sun was already hanging high. It's the height of summer, and even sitting quietly isn't cool. Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong looked at the mushrooms in their hands, and decided to drink soup at night. When the two siblings wanted to go back to the room to rest for a while, Huo Qingsong knocked on the door of the Lu family again.
For Huo Qingsong's re-arrival, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong were very strange, but they also enthusiastically opened the door to let him in. But Huo Qingsong stood at the door and didn't move, just looking at Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong. Just when Lu Hong couldn't help but want to ask about the exit, Huo Qingsong said softly: "You have entered the house in Qingshi County. Maybe they didn't find what they wanted, so they set fire to the yard and the house. ”
"What?" When Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong heard Huo Qingsong's words, cold water poured down from the top of their heads, and their whole bodies were excited.
When Huo Qingsong saw the expressions of the two brothers and sisters, he lowered his eyelids and said softly: "I'm going to Qingshi County to see if your brothers and sisters are ......."
"We'll go back with you now." Lu Xiang'er immediately became anxious when she thought of the fruit wine in the cellar and the soju that was hidden.
Lu Hong's expression was very solemn, what Huo Qingsong was doing when he came to Jiangling Mansion, he knew very well. At this time, Huo Qingsong wanted to go to Qingshi County to see it in person, which showed that this matter was not simple. While Lu Xiang'er went to talk to Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng, Lu Hong asked Huo Qingsong in a low voice: "Are you suspicious of those thieves before you go to Qingshi County?" ”
Huo Qingsong saw that Lu Xiang'er had already walked out of it, so he said simply: "Go and take a look, you can be sure." ”
When Lu Hong saw Huo Qingsong's eyes, he also understood that Lu Xiang'er was approaching. Not wanting Lu Xiang'er to worry too much, Lu Hong didn't ask again, but nodded: "Are we going to set off immediately?" ”
"Yes, just make my carriage and go." Huo Qingsong pointed to the carriage behind him and motioned for Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong to get into the car. Because the two brothers and sisters had something in their hearts, they didn't push Huo Qingsong to give in, so they quickly got into the carriage. Huo Qingsong, a general, didn't mind this matter and sat in the car with the two siblings.
From the Lu family to the city gate in the south of Gangneung Mansion, almost half of Gangneung Mansion was crossed, which was not a very short distance. During this time, neither Lu Xianger nor Lu Hong said a word. are all thinking about what the home in Qingshi County was burned into.
When the carriage left the city, Huo Qingsong, who had been pondering, looked at Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong, and then said in a low voice, "Maybe I should tell you something, even if I don't say these things, you will know in the future." ”
"General Huo, please speak." Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er immediately raised their spirits and guessed what Huo Qingsong was going to tell the two.
"Actually, when my uncle sent the box to Qingshi County for the first time, he was ready to take your aunt to Jingshi. For this reason, I sent someone to Qingshi County at that time, ready to escort your aunt to Beijing. Unexpectedly, they found someone circling around your house. ”
Huo Qingsong lowered his head, not noticing the surprised expressions of Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong, and continued: "After that, I received the news that Piaoxiang Wine Shop was threatened, so I sent some more people to Qingshi County...... When you are about to leave Qingshi County, I will let those people escort you away in secret. …… During this time, I thought that there was nothing to do, so I withdrew the people there and went back to track down Chen Wangyu's party. Didn't expect ......"
"It turns out that it was General Huo who knocked those people who were watching us unconscious." Only then did Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er understand that it was Huo Qingsong who had been secretly helping the Lu family. I believe that Piaoxiang Wine Shop has not been harassed in any way since then, which is also the reason why Huo Qingsong took action.
Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong glanced at each other, and looked at Huo Qingsong's eyes again, so they were not estranged from the original, but a little more cordial. If it weren't for the accident in Qingshi County, Huo Qingsong would definitely not take the initiative to talk about it, and Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong would probably never know about it.
It turned out that Huo Qingsong's personality was not as indifferent as he appeared, and he didn't care about anyone's feelings. On the contrary, he is very enthusiastic and thoughtful, and I believe that he is also very means. At this moment, Huo Qingsong's cold image in the hearts of Lu Xianger and Lu Hong immediately changed greatly.
This change not only made Lu Xianger unexpected, but also unacceptable, even Huo Qingsong himself was a little uncomfortable. When he found Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong's eyes, he coughed: "I helped you so much because of my uncle." ”
After saying this blunt sentence, Huo Qingsong turned his head to the other side and looked at the scenery outside the carriage. The words of thanks that Lu Hong wanted to say were forced into his mouth by Huo Qingsong, and his face was red because of some swelling. Lu Xiang'er looked at Lu Hong, and then at Huo Qingsong, somehow there was a trace of relief in her heart.
In other words, Huo Qingsong's carriage seems to have been 'modified'. Lu Xiang'er traveled all the way from Jiangling Mansion to Qingshi County, and she was not as uncomfortable as before. Moreover, the speed of this carriage also seems to be faster, and it takes a quarter of an hour less than an ordinary carriage to reach Qingshi County.
Returning to the place where they had lived for more than three years, Lu Xianger and Lu Hong couldn't help but look outside, recalling their lives in Qingshi County. Seeing those familiar scenes, the corners of Lu Xiang'er's mouth raised slightly, and she didn't know what she remembered. But when she passed by the Piaoxiang Wine Workshop and saw that the door of the wine shop was tightly closed, Lu Xiang'er was puzzled and worried.
Huo Qingsong noticed Lu Xiang'er's gaze, and said: "It was the guys from Piaoxiang Wine Shop who found out about the burning of the Lu family, and the shopkeeper Yuan knew about it, so he stayed there and waited for the people from the government." ”
Lu Xiang'er was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly turned her head and said to Huo Qingsong: "General Huo, thank you." ”
In just three words, it seems to contain a lot of meaning for Lu Xianger. She didn't know how to thank Huo Qingsong for everything she had done for the Lu family, and she could only express her gratitude in the shortest words. Lu Xiang'er didn't expect Huo Qingsong to understand, to be clear.
But Huo Qingsong seemed to understand, and turned his head to the side again: "Qingqing is already thanking me for staying at your house." ”
Listening to Huo Qingsong's tone, it seemed that he didn't want Lu Xiang'er to feel owed to him. Lu Xiang'er looked at Huo Qingsong's side, a little funny, but she didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, she just whispered something and turned her head away.
'Awkward man. 'Huo Qingsong and Lu Hong are both martial arts practitioners, and the 'Six Jue' are much stronger than ordinary people. Lu Xiang'er's whisper, both of them heard it, and they heard it more clearly. Huo Qingsong acted as if he didn't know anything, and he didn't move. And Lu Hong glanced at Huo Qingsong quickly, and agreed with Lu Xiang'er's words very much. Sometimes, Huo Qingsong is really a little 'awkward' in Lu Hong's opinion.
"Brother, our home is gone." When Lu Hong was thinking about it, Lu Xiang'er suddenly heard a choked voice in his ears. Lu Hong hurriedly looked out, and the carriage slowly stopped. Seeing everything in front of him, Lu Hong couldn't believe it. Before the carriage could stop, he had already jumped.
Looking at the ruins and ruined walls, a scene of decay, it is impossible to tell what it was like before. If it weren't for the familiar scenery nearby, Lu Hong wouldn't have recognized this ruin at all, it was that he still had Lu Xiang'er's home in Qingshi County.
Lu Hong stood outside the original gate, staring blankly at all this. Lu Xiang'er, who got out of the carriage after Lu Hong, had a sad face, and her tears dripped down her cheeks to the ground. Seeing the traces left by Lu Xiang'er under his feet, Huo Qingsong's eyes became a little deep.
The catchers who were surrounding the Lu family saw that a carriage had stopped, so they wanted to come over and ask. But Fang Zhe, who walked out of a courtyard next to him, stopped them and told them not to pay attention. And what followed Fang Zhe from that courtyard was Yuan Musheng and the two guys from Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, Brother Ping and Brother Tie.
Yuan Musheng saw Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er, so he walked over quickly. When he found that Brother Ping and Brother Tie were also following him, Yuan Musheng ordered the two to go back to Piaoxiang Wine Shop first. After the two young men left, Yuan Musheng came to Lu Xiang'er with a very ashamed expression.
"Little lady, I walk around here every day. But I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it......" Yuan Musheng didn't know what to say, so he could express his shame to Lu Xianger and Lu Hong.
Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong both knew that this matter had nothing to do with Yuan Musheng at all. After stabilizing his emotions, Lu Hongcai waved his hand: "Uncle Mu Sheng, this matter has nothing to do with you, you have done a very good job." During this time, Xiang'er is not in Qingshi County, and the Piaoxiang Wine Shop is all relying on you alone, which is really hard for you. ”
"Brother Hong, you don't have to comfort me. I know that I have failed your trust and failed to take care of this courtyard. It's me who is sorry for you......" Yuan Musheng blamed himself vigorously, and finally pulled back some of Lu Xiang'er's spirit.
Lu Xiang'er walked to Lu Hong's side and smiled at Yuan Musheng: "Uncle Musheng, I believe you have been working hard here for a long time. Now that my brother and I are back, you can go home and rest first. After we take care of the aftermath here, we will go to visit Uncle Mu Sheng and his aunt. ”
Yuan Musheng looked at Lu Xiang'er's somewhat haggard appearance, and wanted to say something more. However, he was accustomed to obeying Lu Xiang'er's arrangement, and he also understood that Lu Xiang'er would definitely go to him. Yuan Musheng nodded, said a word to Fang Zhe, and left here.
After Lu Xianger spoke to Yuan Musheng, her mood had stabilized a lot. Looking at everything in front of me again, I didn't get excited just now. And when she suddenly saw something, her expression moved slightly. After thinking about it, Lu Xiang'er came to Huo Qingsong and whispered a few words. Then, Huo Qingsong pondered for a moment and nodded.
After Lu Xiang'er returned to Lu Hong's side, Huo Qingsong called Fang Zhe: "Let the officials of the government go back and hand over this place to Zhichong Mansion." Remember, there's no outsider here, I'm going to go inside and see ......."
