Chapter 115: Murder in the Forest
Besides, Nan Yue didn't say the next words, and Guo Xiaoxiao didn't want to listen to it anymore, so he fell asleep on the wall of the carriage.
Spring is a cloudy day, but fortunately there is no sun or rain, so it is a good time to go north to Beijing. The Ming army walked for a long time, passing by a forest, and Luo Xuan ordered everyone to rest.
This Ming army has about 8,000 people, and every stop and movement is like a dragon swinging its tail, and the movement is very large. The carriage stopped suddenly, and Guo Xiaoxiao opened his eyes.
"Where are we?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.
Nan Yue said with a smile: "I haven't arrived in Suzhou yet, General Luo asked everyone to rest for a while." ”
Saying that, Nan Yue helped Guo Xiaoxiao get out of the carriage, and looked up to see that Luo Xuan was no longer visible on the tall horse. Guo Xiaoxiao thought to himself, where did this person go.
Guo Xiaoxiao and Nan Yue walked to the foot of a book to rest. Nan Yue handed the kettle to Guo Xiaoxiao, who smiled and shook his head. At this moment, a majestic body suddenly appeared in front of him.
"It turns out that my sister is here, it's really easy for me to find." Luo Xuan said and sat down next to Guo Xiaoxiao.
Guo Xiaoxiao thought to himself, my place is neither sheltered by weeds nor sheltered by tree stumps, and it is obviously the most conspicuous place.
"Why don't you go with your brothers, what are you doing here?"
"Heh, they come in groups, and each has someone to talk to, but I don't." Luo Xuan smiled ashamedly at her.
"You didn't finish talking yesterday, but now you can talk about it."
"Sister Chang really wants to know?"
"As the bloodline of the Luo family, it is natural to know something."
Luo Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, Guo Xiaoxiao finally recognized his younger brother. But Luo Xuan couldn't show it, because he was the leader of the army, and he had to be moody, which was what his uncle taught him.
"I grew up in Luoyang, my father died young, and my uncle raised me the most. However, my uncle had no children under his knees, so he pinned all his hopes on me. My uncle taught me to read and practice martial arts, and he tried his best to refine me to what I am today. ”
Luo Xuan took a sip of water and continued: "A few years ago, when the Northwest War was chaotic, the imperial court had to recruit troops, and my uncle asked me to join the army. I thought, if you have a body of martial arts, you can't move an inch without fame. After training in the northwest for several years, I was favored by General Chen and promoted me to be a deputy envoy. Later, when the Japanese invaded Yangzhou, I asked General Chen for his life and asked to fight on my behalf, and I became a third-class general. ”
"Are there any brothers and sisters in the family?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked with his knees crossed.
"My uncle's family also has two daughters, both of whom are younger than my sister-in-law. One is married to a scholar, and the other is only thirteen years old this year and is ignorant of the world. ”
"So, they're my sisters?" Guo Xiaoxiao smiled lightly.
"That's natural, we are all descendants, of course, we can be called brothers and sisters."
This thirteen-year-old sister reminded Guo Xiaoxiao of Guo Qianqian. She has never told Mrs. Guo about Guo Qianqian pretending to be herself, and she doesn't know what Guo Qianqian's condition is.
"On that day, the woman who pretended to be me, and you disposed of her?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked
Luo Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "I was just about to talk to my sister about this." The woman got my sister's oil-paper umbrella out of nowhere, and ran up to me and told me that she was the granddaughter of the prince of Zhenguo. I interrogated her and found out that she actually knew many things about the Guo family. I think this person must have something to do with the Guo family. ”
Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes dodged, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Sister Yan, do you know who she is?" Luo Xuan didn't know Guo Qianqian's name yet, because Guo Qianqian claimed to be Han Qianqian.
She ...... She had been a maid in Guo Mansion for more than ten years. Guo Xiaoxiao made up a lie.
"More than ten years? In this way, it should be the house that your father and my uncle Luo Heng entered when he first got married. Grandfather Xin passed away due to illness in Lent, Uncle Heng had to keep filial piety, and the family that became a family after three years, how could she know what happened to Grandfather Xin? ”
"Alas, the old mother at home has a lot of mouths and loves to chew the root of her tongue, so she will know it when she comes and goes." Guo Xiaoxiao kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Luo Xuan.
"Our Luo family's family style has always been strict, and a long-tongued woman like this has long been sent out of the house. Uncle Heng thinks that he will inherit his great-grandfather's family style in the future, and he will not leave such a domestic servant at home. Luo Xuan was aware of all the loopholes.
"Father, he...... He saw that those old mothers were pitiful and old, so they stayed. ”
"I believe that my grandfather is kind-hearted, and if my uncle is replaced, he will definitely punish such domestic servants with a rod and then expel him from the house." Luo Xuan sat upright.
"What happened to the woman?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked again.
Luo Xuanyun said lightly: "Uncle said that I have to be forgiving and forgiving, so I will let her go." Sister Chang won't have an opinion, right? ”
"No, no comment. It's good for Brother Xuan to make a decision. Guo Xiaoxiao was secretly happy that Guo Qianqian was not dead.
If Luo Xuan was angry and killed Guo Qianqian, Mrs. Guo would definitely cry so much.
"It's not too early." Luo Xuan got up and straightened his clothes, "It's time for us to hurry." ”
"Hmm." Guo Xiaoxiao watched him walk towards the war horse.
The Ming army began to move again, like a dragon swinging its tail. Guo Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain, and the carriage was walking in the direction of Suzhou. Suzhou, like Yangzhou, is surrounded by lush forests.
Luo Xuan, his master Zhao Chengyin, and deputy envoy Qin Huan walked ahead.
Zhao Chengyin said: "Looking at the general's appearance, Fang Cai should have a good conversation with Miss Yan." ”
"Not really, but not so deeply guarded against me." Luo Xuan sighed.
Qin Huan said: "This young lady is really interesting, and she is still on guard against her younger brother. ”
"You don't understand her." Luo Xuan's hand loosely tugged on the reins, "Don't look at her gentle and gentle, like water, but she is very strong in her bones." Besides, it is also human nature to defend the living. ”
Zhao Chengyin said: "Although her actions are not as good as those of the nobles and princesses of Jingshi, her spirit is also unique. In the future, I will be the lord of the county, and with your younger brother by my side, I will definitely be a well-known figure. ”
Luo Xuan said: "She is easy to be soft-hearted, and she can't be ruthless to those who care about her. ”
Zhao Chengyin smiled: "Isn't there a hard-hearted foil like yours to help her?" ”
Luo Xuan smiled faintly.
Qin Huan said: "It's only been a few days, do you know that she is easy to be soft-hearted?" ”
"If you look at the subtleties, you will know everything." Luo Xuan kicked the horse's belly and drove the horse forward.
At this moment, Luo Xuan looked at all sides, listened to all directions, and sensed the wind and grass.
"There's an ambush!" Luo Xuan restrained the war horse.
Immediately afterward, a group of black-clad assassins burst out of the woods.
Zhao Chengyin shouted: "Protect Miss Yan and Mrs. Guo!" ”
For a time, the Ming army was in chaos.
"Miss, there are assassins!" Nan Yue shouted.
"Don't panic." Guo Xiaoxiao held on to the carriage, "There are a lot of us, they can't beat us." ”
The assassins seemed to be prepared, and they all went to kill Guo Xiaoxiao and the carriage. Zhang Yun immediately drew his sword to block.
"Ahh Nan Yue watched the assassin's sharp sword stab into the carriage and screamed in panic. Fortunately, Guo Xiaoxiao took the first step to pull Nan Yue over, and then dodged the assassination.
At this time, Luo Xuan flew down from the war horse, and a Lingbo microwave flew around Guo Xiaoxiao's carriage to fend off the assassins for Guo Xiaoxiao.
"A few hundred soldiers dare to assassinate the 8,000 Ming army, it's really beyond their strength." Luo Xuan is agile, come and kill one by one, come and kill two and kill a pair.
After about a quarter of an hour, the Assassin was almost killed. Qin Huan was about to kill the last assassin when Luo Xuan shouted, "Keep your mouth alive!" ”
The sword in Qin Huan's hand stopped in mid-air, and the assassin immediately swallowed the medicine and committed suicide. Luo Xuan and Zhao Chengyin rushed over, only to see the assassin bleeding and falling to the ground.
Zhao Chengyin squatted down and ripped off the assassin's shirt, saw a sign, and said, "It's a dead man." ”
"It seems that some people can't wait any longer." Luo Xuan withdrew his sword and walked in the direction of Mrs. Guo around Guo Xiaoxiao's carriage.
Mrs. Guo's heart was beating with fright, and Luo Xuan opened the curtain and said, "Let my aunt be frightened." ”
Mrs. Guo covered her chest with her hands and said, "Thank you nephew for your concern, what happened?" ”
"Some of the robbers who are at the end of their rope have all been wiped out, so my aunt doesn't have to worry."
"That'll be fine."
Luo Xuan walked back to Guo Xiaoxiao's carriage, and Nan Yue opened the curtain when he heard the sound.
"Sister Chang is okay?" Luo Xuan asked.
Guo Xiaoxiao was originally holding his knees and shrunk in his seat, but when he saw Luo Xuan, he immediately put down his legs: "I'm fine, what about you?" ”
"Don't worry, they won't hurt us yet."
Guo Xiaoxiao found that the clothes on his chest were cut a little, but when she saw Luo Xuan's arrogant look, she reached out to lower the curtain.
"Thank you for your concern, doesn't the general still have to lead the troops? Go ahead, don't make the soldiers wait long. With that, the curtain fell.
Luo Xuan thought to himself, what's wrong with this Guo Xiaoxiao? Why do you feel that there is a gap between the two again? It's not because he asked Guo Qianqian about it. That's it, Luo Xuan strode towards the front of the team.
Qin Huan saw Luo Xuan coming over with a black face, so he asked, "Quarreled?" ”
"No, how can we quarrel." Luo Xuan got on the horse.
"Then why do I think your face is not good?" Qin Huan also got on the back of the horse and followed behind Luo Xuan.
"You're right, I've only known her for a few days, and I don't know her well enough."
After Zhao Chengyin sorted out the team, he rode behind Luo Xuan and walked with the two.
Zhao Chengyin thought for a while and said, "The assassin is eating the Broken Intestine Pill, this medicine will make the poison eater die in a few seconds, it seems that the palace has already begun to make ruthless moves." ”
Luo Xuan grabbed the reins tightly and said: "The road is long, they are ruthless, we are more ruthless than them." ”
Qin Huan scoffed: "Even if you come, our army is the Ming Army, how can it be compared to their unpopular assassins!" ”
Luo Xuan said lightly: "Don't say it, those assassins are all agile and ruthless, unlike our soldiers, who walk with open guns." Today, the Assassins attacked, and our army was in disarray. ”
Zhao Chengyin said: "Our army is all people who fight on the battlefield, and they will not use those crooked ways, although the strength of the moves is deep, but the skills are insufficient. If we are not outnumbered today, I am afraid that our army will be a real enemy of them, so it is better to be careful. ”
