Bei'an City was lit up all night, Wang Youhe's pretty face flickered brightly and darkly, and because of Su Xiaoman's words, he was so ashamed that he didn't know what to do.

Su Xiaoman looked at their embarrassed appearance, and said: "Thank you soldiers, the matter here will be handed over to us, and then it will be the women's residence, and it is inconvenient for the soldiers to enter." Then he waved his hand to the maids on both sides, "You guys go and help." ”

The maids came forward to owe themselves, and Su Xiaoman loosened a big stone in his heart, but he still carried another one. For this reason, Zheng Ming was stopped by Su Xiaoman when he was about to leave, "Soldiers, I don't know if you want to return to the general?" ”

Zheng Ming put away his panic and said, "Yes." ”

"Can you participate in the encirclement?" Su Xiaoman took a few steps forward, "If you see the general and help me bring a word?" ”

Zheng Ming bowed down and buried his head, "The subordinates are returning to the adjutant, and they may not be able to see the general, I don't know what the general's arrangements are for the encirclement and suppression, and we are all on standby." ”

Su Xiaoman nodded slightly, "It's okay, how about helping me if you see it?" ”

Zheng Ming's waist lowered a little more, "County Lord, please speak." ”

"Let him not rush to his brain with blood, regardless of the bias, be careful, Wangshu and I are waiting for him at home." Su Xiaoman said sincerely,

Zheng Ming hesitated for a moment and said: "The county lord is so worried about the general, even if his subordinates can't see the general, they will definitely bring this words, the county lord can rest assured." Turning around and leaving immediately, Wang Youhe walked a few steps quickly, and didn't even have time to say a word of thanks.

"County Lord, why don't you let me say goodbye?" She was disgusted.

Su Xiaoman sneered, "You, everyone is busy today, otherwise when you bump into this scene, you don't know what is going on outside, and you don't want the reputation of your daughter's family?" ”

Wang Youhe stuck out his tongue, "Everything is in a hurry, Youhe didn't eat or drink, how can you have the strength to walk back by yourself?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xiaoman was taken aback, "Didn't eat or drink?" "Goodbye to that faded crimson face, it is indeed a little pale, "No wonder I look strange, when it is really clear, it has been reduced a lot, and you have to spare your own life when dealing with the kidnappers." She beckoned to the left and right, "Quick, send it in." Wang Ma! In a hurry, he called his own cook.

Seeing that no one answered, I remembered that I was in Zhang's Mansion at this time, "Little brother outside the door!" She called forward as she spoke, "Please call the kitchen lady to help my lady cook some food, which should be lighter." ”

"County Lord." Wang Youhe shouted, quite confident, "I'm so hungry that my belly is empty, so don't be light." "She's coquettish.

Su Xiaoman turned around, and his tone was undoubted, "You don't eat or drink for a long time, it's not okay to eat meat and fish all at once, come light first, rest well, and then eat." Then he said to the little man, "Go." ”

"Yes." The little guy trotted all the way to the antechamber.

Su Xiaoman looked up at the sky, as dark as ink. began to talk about Lu Li again, every time he was with swords and guns, she always held a heart, no matter how much Lu Li swore when he left: "How can there be someone in the world that your husband can't deal with?" "I still can't help but be afraid of what happens.

Lu Li also knew this, so when Zheng Mingtuo brought the news, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and others only said that he was full of confidence.

"The general is going to make meritorious service this time, but the king will definitely use you more!" The adjutant on the side looked flattering, "Brothers following you is really an ancestor of virtue." ”

Lu Li's face was displeased, but he didn't let the man see it, and spread out a topographic map, "Is everything arranged?" ”

"Don't worry, the village has people all over the place, leaving only one exit." The adjutant pondered for a while, but continued to ask: "I don't know, why do you want to leave an exit, it's better to catch turtles in an urn?" ”

Lu Li squinted at him, he was unusually sharp, and the adjutant immediately shut up. People like this who only read military books but don't know how to judge the situation somehow climbed to the position they are now. I'm afraid that the court has a backer?

"Report!" There were sentinels interrupting Lu Li's thoughts.

He raised his eyes slightly, "Said." ”

"The front is ready and ready to be deployed." The sentry held the Quartet Army Flag in his hand, which Lu Li asked him to put away, and when he saw the flag, he knew that the time had come.

"Let's go!" He gave an order, rode away, behind him was a group of cavalry, the team had just traveled a few paces, a black shadow rushed out from the side to stop in front of Lu Li's horse, he tightened the reins and looked at it, it seemed to be the king's personal guard.

"General Lu, the secret order has arrived!"

Lu Li was about to get off the reins and dismount, when the man said, "The king has commanded, time is urgent, and there is no need for the general to perform these false courtesies, just go and see it himself." ”

Suspicious, he kicked the horse's belly, and the horse took a few steps forward, joining the guard's horse. There are only a few words in the secret decree: do not let go.

Weird! Lu Li sighed secretly, all the arrangements before setting off were discussed with the king, and all the remnants were wiped out through these stragglers as bait.

"Your dear." Lu Li arched his hand, "Can you tell me that after the last general comes out of the palace, who else has gone to see the king?" He swept his eyes around, secretly took out a piece of silver, and exchanged glances with the guard.

The guard's eyes wandered for a while, and he drove the horse forward, his lips did not move but there was a voice, "I saw that Lin Yushi went again." ”

Is it really the old man who doesn't know the art of war? Lu Li was angry, when he was facing the saint before, he had analyzed it with him well, and he was still so self-righteous? What did you say that made the king change his mind?

Lu Li handed over the silver, sent the guards away, frowned, and beckoned to the sentinels in front of him, "Go and inform the ministries, the plan has changed, catch the turtle in the urn." ”

"Yes!"

He said to the adjutant: "You take the rest of the men and horses, plug the opening, and now it's too late to inform them of the specific matters, it is estimated that most of them are rushing to that place, and they must concentrate their troops. ”

There are often temporary changes in tactics on the battlefield, so the adjutant didn't think much about it, and only muttered: "I knew this was the case, why bother?" ”

Lu Li's ears were sharp, and when he heard it in his heart, he knew that he was not necessarily obedient to him in the army now, and he instinctively used this crackdown on bandits to stabilize the army's heart, but that Lin Yushi insisted on not saying anything, and ruined his prestige in the army, which was really hateful.

He held his finger tightly, but he knew that it was all a foregone conclusion.

The moonlight covered him with a layer of silver light, and he rode away and disappeared into the night.

Su Xiaoman received the news that Lu Li had successfully encircled and suppressed the mountain bandits in the early morning of the next day, she woke up from a nightmare early, put on a brocade robe and stood in front of the window lattice, seeing that the sky was brightening up little by little, and the little girl who reported the news flashed outside the courtyard gate and went to the front of Lord Zhang's room. I didn't care about being disheveled, and hid by the courtyard gate to eavesdrop.

"My lord, General Lu has returned, and all the remnants of the sin have been imprisoned, and the king has summoned them to discuss how to deal with them."

"Okay, the official will go when he gets dressed."

The little servant left, and Su Xiaoman saw the servant of the Zhang Mansion sent by Lord Zhang again, "County Lord." ”

"I see." Before he could speak, she interrupted, "Did the person who came to report the news say that all of them were detained?" ”

The servant said, "Yes." ”

Su Xiaoman shook his head, Lu Li revealed something to her before leaving, according to his speculation at the time, the ultimate target of this small group of people was him, and there must be someone behind him, didn't he want to use these people to fake encirclement and suppress the real tracking? How can you arrest them all now?

The morning breeze was slightly cool, blowing the corner of the cloak, Su Xiaoman was awe-inspiring, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the servant was still doing something, so he hurriedly gave the silver money and sent it away, and leaned sideways on the wall.

In last night's dream, Lu Li was chased and killed, and the scenes were so real, and then she felt bad in her heart when she corresponded to today's events. Those mountain bandits are not clean, there is one and there are two, she can think of such a simple truth, how could Lu Li suddenly change his plan?

When Lu Li rushed back to Zhang's Mansion from the palace that night to pick up Su Xiaoman back, she saw the clue on his face, and wanted to ask several times, but she held back.

So, Su Xiaoman only made a table of good food and wine that night and deliberately burned the grapefruit leaf water, pulling Lu Li to remove the mildew for him, Lu Li blamed her for being superstitious, and said while dodging: "Xiaoman, when will you also learn this Laoshizi thing?" ”

"You run." Su Xiaoman panted, "Can you still run out of this yard?" When you go out of the courtyard gate, people will see you, where is General Lu's face? ”

"Mother." Lu Wangshu and Lu Lixin are in cahoots, both father and son are people who don't ask about ghosts and gods, "Confucius said that 'the son is silent and the power is chaotic', and the words of the sages must always be listened to, right?" He and Lu Li both used each other as shields and refused to give in to each other.

Su Xiaoman gasped twice, "If it weren't for the peace charm that I happened to have on me, Wangshu, I'm afraid I would have to run out to find you, and I still have to believe in this divine thing." ”

"Mother can understand other methods." Lu Wangshu said confidently, "It's just that you just want to get such a stupid method." ”

Lu Li grabbed him, "Eh, how can you talk to your mother like this?" Your mother is called pure and good, and her character is precious, so you have to study hard. ”

said that he was praising her, but the look on his face was sly and smiling, how could he look sarcastic. Su Xiaoman waved his hand and threw the grapefruit leaf back into the wooden basin, "That's it, I don't care what your father and son love." As he spoke, he walked into the hall.

The father and son looked at each other, "Dad, why is my mother so angry today?" ”

Lu Li raised his hand to pick Lu Wangshu's ear, "Did you do something to make her unhappy?" ”

"Nothing." Lu Wangshu hurriedly dodged and hurriedly retreated a few steps, "I think it's because your father is disobedient and makes your mother unhappy." As he spoke, he took out the grapefruit leaves from the basin and dusted them on his body, "Actually, my mother is right, I can't say that the peace charm I asked for in this temple is useless, and I will definitely go to repay my vows another day." ”

When he mentioned the vow, Su Xiaoman immediately remembered a very important thing, when Wang Youhe's life and death were uncertain, he had made a wish to set up a Buddhist hall at home, just the appearance of this father and son, how can it be better if they really collide at home?

Thinking about it, his face was even worse than just now.

Lu Wangshu saw that Su Xiaoman didn't speak, and knew that things were not good, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, it's getting late, and the grapefruit leaves have also been used, so Wangshu will go back to the room." "Is this to leave his father and run away alone? Lu Li was just about to stop it, but Su Xiaoman said, "Okay, rest early." ”

Lu Li looked at Su Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, are you worried that the mountain bandits will repeat their old tricks?" ”

"What exactly does the king plan to do with it in the end?" Since he mentioned this matter first, Su Xiaoman didn't intend to hide it, and said all his nightmares and worries in his heart, and every word was right at the point of Lu Li's knot, including his unhappiness.

Lu Li didn't speak, pulled Su Xiaoman and walked into the house, and hugged her as soon as he entered the door, "You are the only one who knows me." ”
