Chapter 19: The Suffering of the People
The lengthy remarks finally ended, Lu Fuling turned her head sideways, and the people around her let go of her hand knowingly. According to the instructions of the ceremonial officer, Lu Fuling bowed to heaven and earth alone, praying for peace and friendship from generation to generation. The moment she leaned over, a sneer hooked her lips. This and the pro are destined to not go well, as for the friendship of generations, it depends on this plan.
"I hope that God will bless the great well-being, and seek benevolence and benevolence."
As soon as she got up, a female officer stepped forward to lead her back to the car, and Lu Fuling followed obediently, staring at the swaying bead curtain in front of her. After all, I couldn't help but turn around before getting into the car, but I only saw the phantom of the hundred officials kneeling in the dark. But she knew, that person, there.
After getting into the car, I made up my mind and pulled out a bell from my waist. Removed the tampon, shook the volley, and a crisp sound was not very noticeable among the advancing honor guard. It's just that the two people next to the car disappeared in a flash.
After passing through a long carriage road, you will find the Quang Binh Gate. I don't know what happened, the honor guard suddenly slowed down, and Lu Lingling seemed to be unconscious and lowered her eyes, but soon, the speed returned to normal, even a few points faster than before.
A person returned to the car, knocked on the car wall three times rhythmically, left a sentence of "take care" and disappeared again.
After leaving the Guangping Gate, it joined the Northern Qi mission. Lu Fuling summoned Yaxiang through the curtain: "Drove him away?" ”
Ya Xiang, who had just disappeared at the beginning, climbed in from the right side of the car unobtrusively, and was rarely out of breath, and her face was not very good: "This Zheng Yu is verbose like a woman." I beat him back. ”
Lu Fuling couldn't help laughing: "This Major General Zheng will really have a hard time in the future." ”
"Cut." Ya Xiang replied with a disgusted face, and became serious again: "The two thousand Ye Fang camps have all been settled, and the one thousand people in the team are all in place according to the list you listed, girl." ”
Lu Lingling nodded. This Ye Fang battalion is a soldier brought out by Zheng Yu, although the combat power is not as good as the Acropolis Army, it can be said that all of them are Zheng Yu's henchmen. Now a thousand people are placed in the guard of honor, and another thousand people are disguised as peddlers' pawns all the way, waiting until they reach the acropolis......
"Hasn't the Shuwado replied?" Lu Fuling has one more thing on her mind.
"Nope." Ya Xiang also frowned, "Xiuhetang's power outside Beiguan is limited, the Northern Qi army is in Rongcheng, and the mission has been in Beijing for more than a month, what is the situation in the Acropolis is really difficult to determine." They didn't dare to do anything about it. ”
Lu Fuling sighed: "From ancient times to the present, whenever there is a war, it is the people who suffer. Life is like a mustard, but it is just a number on the desk of the superior. I've always prided myself on being a kind person, but now I can't save them. ”
"But, Acropolis, the girl is bound to win." Ya Xiang pressed her hand, "This is for the people of Quandakang." ”
Lu Lingling did not speak again. She knew that Yaxiang was right. Although there is no way to evacuate the people of the Acropolis out of the battle, she must take the Acropolis, Jiaoling Town, and even Rongcheng, and only in this way can she have enough bargaining chips to negotiate with the Northern Qi.
"Don't worry, girl. Just now, I have already explained to Deputy General Zhu of Ye Fangying, and as soon as I arrived at the Acropolis, I sent people to investigate the people's situation. Even if it's too late to evacuate, at least find out who is under the control of the Acropolis. ”
Along the way, the master and servant didn't talk much, and after the North Pass, the climate became more and more harsh, but the vigorous scenery of the northern winter was indeed breathtaking. Different from the green in the south, it is deep and shallow, and even in winter, there are evergreen plants. Everything here is golden and red, whether it is the yellow sand or the sky, whether it is the deserted official road or the vicissitudes of life next to the official road. At night, the cold is to the bone, but the sky is not as beautiful as the world. It is as clear as washed by water, and the stars are gathered and vast.
On the third day, scattered towns began to appear on the roadside. Yaxiang said that Rongcheng and Acropolis are both border towns, although it is dangerous, but the two countries have frequent exchanges of merchants, so although the environment here is difficult, it is rare to be very prosperous. A day later, the Northern Qi delegation came and told her that she would be able to enter the Acropolis in half a day.
