Bang - with a crisp sound, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered, and the tea spilled all over the floor.

Li Wenhao walked into the tent and saw that Huo Qingsong was looking at the teacup and was a little distracted. In the past few days, Huo Qingsong doesn't know what's going on, and he has lost his mind many times. A little worried about whether Huo Qingsong was sick, Li Wenhao sat beside him and said softly: "Sister-in-law, are you uncomfortable there, if I hadn't called the military doctor over to take a look." You are a great general, and you want to lead the whole army. If you get sick, it will affect the morale of the military. ”

"I'm fine." Huo Qingsong raised his head, but his brows were tightly locked. Glancing at Li Wenhao, Huo Qingsong suddenly asked, "Brother Hong, is there any news?" ”

"No, you're worried about Xiang'er?" Li Wenhao was a little stunned at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister-in-law, I know you are thinking about your pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses." However, you can't be in such a hurry. In two days, we will be able to go to Huaifeng Mansion, and you will be able to meet Xiang'er and the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. ”

As soon as Li Wenhao's words fell, Wen Song, who was dressed in armor, entered the tent in a panic. Seeing that Huo Qingsong and Li Wenhao were there, Wen Song first breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression still did not ease, and said: "Qingsong, your lady may have an accident......

"Lady, this carriage is too heavy, let's ride it." Huo Bao had been driving the carriage for a day and a night, but he couldn't get rid of the pursuers behind him, so he made this suggestion to Lu Xiang'er.

Yesterday, with Ma Ming's reinforcements coming again, Lu Xiang'er fled south under the escort of more than 20 people. But who would have thought that Ju Chensi seemed to have made up his mind to rob Lu Xiang'er. not only sent people to chase her to death, but also let people guard all the roads leading to Huaifeng. Lu Xiang'er had no choice but to go west.

Lu Xiang'er took the one handed over by Lu Zhi and said, took a sip, and nodded: "It's okay, I hope that riding a horse can bypass their encirclement and return to Huaifeng Mansion." But with only two horses, how can that be? ”

"Lady, what does it mean is that you and Luzhi will leave first with Xiao Langjun and Little Lady." Huo Bao paused, looked at the tree that had already lost all its leaves, and continued: "After being chased by them for so long, the little one is also holding back a fire in his heart. The little ones stayed and created some traps for them, so that they had no time to scruple about chasing the lady. ”

"No, we have to be together." Lu Xiang'er listened to Huo Bao's meaning and resolutely denied it. Seeing what Huo Bao was going to say, Lu Xiang'er hurriedly said: "Huo Bao, if you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about Luwei and your children." I'm so bad that Luwei is a little lame, and I can't let her go without Lang Jun. ”

"Okay, the little one will listen to the lady." Huo Bao lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Stay for a night's rest, and see if you can meet someone to buy a horse tomorrow." ”

"Okay, that's it." Lu Xiang'er yawned, then turned to look at a pair of children. But Lu Zhi stared at Huo Bao, his gaze was straight and he couldn't stand it, and quickly turned his head. And when Lu Zhi retracted his gaze, Huo Bao's whisper came from his ears: "Please take good care of the lady, Xiao Langjun, and the little lady, and tell Lu Wei that I will go back alive." ”

"You, be careful." Lu Zhi paused, and it took a long time to say these words. Huo Bao nodded in satisfaction, turned to the side and went to the side to feed the two horses pulling the cart.

The next day, when Lu Xiang'er woke up and came out of the carriage, she saw Lu Zhi packing up her baggage, but Huo Bao was nowhere to be seen. After thinking of something, Lu Xiang'er immediately sank her face and said, "Luzhi, where is Huo Bao?" ”

"Lady, you're awake, eat some dry food." Lu Zhi didn't dare to look at Lu Xiang'er, so she just lowered her head and cleaned up.

As soon as Lu Xiang'er saw Lu Zhi's appearance, she understood something, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I clearly said tomorrow night, no one is allowed to leave, why don't you stop Huo Bao, or wake me up, Lu Zhi?" ”

"Lady, the slave was specially put by Lang Jun to protect the lady." It was the first time that Lu Zhi heard Lu Xiang'er's angry and cold tone, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. But what could be thought, Lu Zhi knelt in front of Lu Xiang'er and said in a low voice: "As long as the lady is safe, the slave can be desperate." This is what Lang Jun specially confessed to the slave before leaving. What's more, the slave doesn't think, doesn't think ......"

"Don't think what?" Lu Xiang'er was particularly resentful of Huo Qingsong's 'desperate' arrangement at this time, and blamed him for why he didn't come to look for her.

Lu Zhi heard that Lu Xiang'er's tone was complaining, and thought that Lu Xiang'er was complaining about herself, so she mustered up the courage and said: "Lady, Steward Huo has followed Lang Jun for many years, and it is impossible not to learn anything from Lang Jun." The slave didn't think that Huo Bao would be worried about his life because of this. ”

"Okay, you all have your own minds, but don't worry about me." As soon as Lu Xiang'er finished getting angry, she felt as if she was taking out her anger on Luzhi, and immediately stopped talking. But the breath in her chest refused to disperse, Lu Xiang'er took a few deep breaths before she forced it down, and said: "Pack it up, let's leave immediately, don't waste Huo Bao's mind in vain." ”

"Yes, lady, the slave and maid are packed up here." Lu Zhi didn't care about Lu Xiang'er's attitude at all, and got up happily to clean up. In the eyes of Lu Zhi and their personal maids, it is a great luck to meet a housewife like Lu Xiang'er. Moreover, Lu Zhi also knew Lu Xiang'er's temper and knew that she was just blaming Huo Bao for leaving.

Soon, Lu Zhi brought everything she could bring with her, and Lu Xiang'er also hugged Huo Sihao and Huo Siran in the carriage. The master and servant each tied a child to their chests, and then got on their horses and continued their journey southwest. When Lu Xiang'er and Lu Zhi finally came to a mountainside and saw the village at the foot of the mountain, their faces finally showed their first smiles in days.

The village is located in a mountain col, and because the nearest town is half a month's walk, it is really a bit isolated. Lu Xiang'er's arrival really surprised the people in the village. But when they saw Lu Xiang'er and Lu Zhi, the two ladies, and the two children, they received them very warmly. With the warm hospitality of the villagers, Lu Xianger and Lu Zhi finally washed off the dust of half a month. Eat a long-missed, steaming meal.

Maybe it's been too long, or maybe Lu Xiang'er is too tired. She did not leave in a hurry, but stayed temporarily in this village called 'Hundred Trees Village'. Although Lu Zhi wanted to remind Lu Xiang'er that she should go to Huaifeng Mansion as soon as possible, she also liked the quiet life here, and she didn't have a chance to say it because of other things when she said it several times.

Soon, Huo Sihao and Huo Siran ushered in the first hundred days after birth. Lu Xianger and Lu Zhi made new clothes for the brother and sister, and used their own embroidered handkerchiefs to exchange some eggs and pork to make a few dishes, and invited the neighbors to have a light meal. Knowing that it was the '100 days' of two children, the villagers more or less brought some gifts. Although they are all worthless, and there are gadgets made by herself, Lu Xianger is very happy to thank everyone personally.

When it was late and the villagers were gone, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Zhi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly had a feeling of returning to Qinghe Village. This kind of quiet and warm life is what Lu Xianger has been looking forward to for a long time. Here, she doesn't have to deal with anyone, she doesn't have to work hard to manage any affairs, and she doesn't have to worry about some people with ulterior motives around her.

"Luzhi, do you like life here?" Lu Xiang'er sat on the bed, patted the two children gently, and asked Lu Zhi, who was making the bed at dawn.

Luzhi seems to have been infected by the simple life here, and there are more smiles on his face than before. Listening to Lu Xiang'er's inquiry, Lu Zhi nodded without thinking: "Lady, the slave maid also lived in the village when she was a child, so she naturally likes this quiet life. ”

"Oh, I like it too, and you like it too, so let's stay a few more days. When the winter is over, let's think about leaving. Lu Xiang'er spoke softly, but her thoughts had already flown to Dengzhou. At this time, the war between Gaochang and the Great Zhou Dynasty was probably still ongoing. If Huo Qingsong led a large army to Dengzhou, it would take some time to defeat Ju Chenhao.

At this moment, Lu Xiang'er still felt that it was safest to stay here. In case she left Baishu Village and met Ju Chensi's people again, then she and Lu Zhi would continue to escape. If you're lucky, you can continue to escape; If you are unlucky, you will be easily caught by Ju Chensi's people.

"You'd rather stay here than be with me, but blame me for making you suffer so much?" The sudden sound made Lu Xiang'er and Lu Zhi eat at the same time. Neither of them could distinguish every word conveyed in the voice, and they protected the two children behind them. And Lu Zhi also took out the short sword from under the pillow at the same time, and then looked outside with Lu Xiang'er.

Located on the edge of Baishu Village, this is a very simple thatched house, but it can keep out some wind and snow. If someone sneaked in, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Zhi really couldn't find out immediately. At this time, there was a man standing in the courtyard, and this man was tall and straight. Such a familiar figure immediately made Lu Xiang'er can't help but walk to the door and open the door.

Slowly approaching, Lu Xiang'er finally saw the face of the person in front of her clearly by the starlight in the night sky. At the same time, her tears suddenly overflowed her eyes from there, and finally poured out like beans, 'crackling' and falling to the ground.

At this time, Lu Zhi in the house finally saw the person in the yard with a stubble on his face and a somewhat haggard expression was Huo Qingsong. Seeing him, Lu Zhi's heart finally put into his stomach completely. Turning his head and looking at Huo Sihao and Huo Siran on the wooden bed, Lu Zhi laughed from the bottom of his heart.
