Chapter 263: Effort
The movements of the battalion of the left general in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province were quickly noticed, and Lu Yan did not intend to hide it, so he simply announced with great fanfare that his wife was held hostage by thieves, no matter who the people were, but if they provided information clues, whether they were useful or useless, they would be greatly thanked, and the news spread, and everyone from all sides was surprised.
Among them, there was a small group of thieves, so they handed over a message suspiciously, saying that they had seen a carriage suspected of Mrs. Lu being held hostage passing by their mountain, and they got a large number of rewards from Lu Yan that day, only to make the thieves almost cry bitterly in surprise, since Lu Yan put on the clothes of the court, they are all from their poor thieves, this is the first time to get the reward of King Lu Yan, for a time the whole Shanxi including the neighboring Henan and Shaanxi are boiling, many thieves and horse thieves can't care about robbery, One by one, they sent their younger brothers to look for people everywhere, eager to dig three feet into the ground, and not let go of a single fly.
What nonsense! When the officials heard the news, they shook their heads, this Lu Yan is using the power in his hands regardless of the state of affairs, anyone can be rewarded, for a woman to do such a ridiculous thing in such a disregard for the overall situation, it is definitely not a person who can be relied on.
Without an order to transfer troops, this important matter was naturally quickly handed over to the emperor's case.
"Father, this Lu Yan is too unusual." The prince frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "How can it be reused so absurdly, that thousands of soldiers and horses are in his hands, and he actually rewards everyone, so what if Li Changsan or Tartar saves his wife?" Did he bow down and rebel...."
Although Lu Yan announced the news that his wife was held hostage, according to Wang Mo's arrangement, he did not tell them that they were tracking down and guessing that Li Changsan's people did it, so they made a fuss, and they were speculating about who did it.
The emperor's chubby body shook a few times on the dragon chair, and he just smiled at the piled up of folding documents in front of him, and didn't mean to look at it.
"For the sake of a woman, he doesn't care," the prince continued.
"Do you think it would be better for him to ignore his wife?" The emperor suddenly interrupted him, looked at the crown prince and asked.
"The general must have a steady wind.." The prince hesitated for a moment but said.
"Emperor. No matter what the identity of this person is, he must first be a person. The emperor interrupted him and said with plastic surgery, "If you can stay calm when your loved ones are killed, then you can't call them calm, then you can be ruthless, he can even ignore his own loved ones, do you dare to use this person?" ”
The prince was stunned. He knew that his father was going to hand over Shanxi and even the entire northwest defense line to Lu Yan, not to mention the general army of Shanxi, but he was afraid that there would be a bigger reward for him in his father's heart.
If you accidentally point to the wrong point, point to the capital... The prince couldn't help but shudder.
"There is no doubt in employing people, no suspicion in doubt, the words are simple, and the reason is simple. Things in the world, big things, small things, family affairs, and national affairs, it's as simple as that. The Emperor looked at the crown prince. Said word by word.
The prince bowed down shamefully and thanked his father for his teachings.
When it was dark, I saw an inn.
Liu Meibao lowered her head and looked at it from the corner of her eye, and firmly remembered a stone tablet of the boundary that flashed by.
Zhenping.
"Brother, let's stay in the hotel." The man in the cart whispered.
There were three of them, all dressed as countrymen.
Hearing him say this, Liu Meibao couldn't help but look at him.
"Be honest, stinky bitch!" The man next to her immediately unceremoniously stabbed her in the back.
Liu Meibao stepped forward. Lu Fang, who was in her arms, opened his little hand to protect her mother and supported her hard.
"Look at what, little bunny." The man saw Lu Fang glaring at him from Liu Meibao's arms. He scolded angrily and in a low voice, "If you want to blame, blame you for doing too much evil." ”
Liu Meibao hugged Lu Fang tightly, and both mother and son lowered their heads.
Since half a month ago, these people around me have become very fierce, not only taking them to the north and south without a direction, but also from the initial dozen people to three or four people, and constantly changing, today it is these people, and then they become other people when they open their eyes.
People become so fast, do they want to confuse themselves and the more and more urgent pursuit?
Their attitudes became more and more irritable, and they scolded when they raised their hands, and the fierce gods seemed to be able to kill their mother and son at any time.
Their words and deeds clearly express their hatred for Lu Yan at all times.
So are these people horse thieves who were killed by Lu Yan?
Seeing that their mother and son were honest, the three of them continued to talk.
"It's not safe in the wild.."
"Mom/This group of people has caught up, and they were almost found yesterday..."
"The more dangerous the place, the safer it is."
Soon the three of them made a decision and pushed the wheelbarrow towards the inn.
"Stinky woman, get acquainted." The man whispered to Liu Meibao.
A large knife that was pressed against her waist under the straw burden behind her was a few points closer, and the cold chill could be clearly felt.
"It's not peaceful here, is it?" said a man as he approached the door.
His voice was a little louder, and Liu Meibao couldn't help but glance at him.
Not peaceful..... she remembered the joke she had heard in her previous life, and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth in this scene.
Lu Fang, who was in her arms, winked at her.
Liu Meibao came back to her senses and smiled at her son and kissed him on the forehead.
After so many bumpy days, his son, who was not fat, lost weight again, and the most terrifying thing is how much pressure his little psychology is undertaking.
Liu Meibao was full of sadness again, remembering that day to find an excuse to leave Song Sanniang's house in a hurry, thinking about it, there was nowhere to go but to go back to Taiyuan Mansion, whether it was dead or alive There is always a result, and it is not a way to always hide, but I didn't expect to get out of the county border, I was attacked, the guards died in a battle, and I was also held hostage, if I didn't leave Taiyuan Mansion in anger that day, would this disaster be avoided.
But how could she not go out, the doors on both sides were crowding her, forcing her to lose her mind and not be calm and have to leave and escape, maybe it is what the sentence says, it is a blessing or a curse, and a disaster cannot be avoided.
Thinking of this, she relaxed again and rubbed against her son's rough cheeks.
Now that it's happened, let's look forward.
"It's almost time for King Li Tang's territory here," the man continued, still in a loud voice.
Li Changsan? So it's Huguang? Liu Meibao said secretly in her heart.
"I'm not so lucky to meet them," said another.
The three of them muttered a little more, and finally decided to move in.
It's a modest inn. The house is dilapidated, coupled with the civil unrest, Li Changsan is constantly harassing this side, seeing that he can fight at any time, those who can flee have fled, and the people's livelihood has withered, so the business is very poor, and there is only one boss with a man. Seeing so many people coming to live at once, the boss grinned happily.
Liu Meibao walked by herself, and as a threat, Lu Fang was held by a man, and sent the boss and his buddies with some words to find relatives and flee, and asked for two rooms.
"Hurry up and eat." Entering the room, the man casually took out a piece of hard cake and threw it over.
Liu Meibao had already taken Lu Fang in her arms, and carefully sat on the musty bed, and when the cake was thrown on the ground, she got up to get it.
Lu Fang broke away from her. The calf ran over and picked it up and blew it on to her.
"Mother. Don't bend over, my brother is uncomfortable. He whispered.
Liu Meibao's body is about to show her pregnancy, and these days when she is being held, Lu Fang is always careful to avoid her mother's belly.
Liu Meibao reached out and stroked her son's head.
"The little bunny is pretty good." The man scoffed.
Liu Meibao and Lu Fang lowered their heads and did not speak, and began to eat the hard cake.
"Chew slowly, swallow again when your saliva is soaked." She whispered to her son.
Lu Fang held the cake and ate it quietly one bite at a time. Like those exquisite dishes that you eat at home.
If you can eat, you have to eat, and only with strength can you have hope of living.
A loaf of bread and a bowl of hot water are hungry rice. Liu Meibao tried to eat slowly, but she still had to finish eating.
"Drink!" Seeing that he had finished eating, the man sitting at the other end of the room washed the medicine powder with water and brought it over.
"Big brother, I promise to be obedient, can you not eat this, I still have a child in my belly.." Liu Meibao was very surprised and hurriedly pleaded.
Since she opened her mouth that time, and seeing that their mother and son are really honest and have not made the slightest move, these people really stopped feeding her medicine, how is this today....
"Damn/force, your man should cut off his children and grandchildren, and talk less nonsense." The man whispered murderously.
His gaze swept over Liu Meibao's abdomen, and the fierce light in her eyes made Liu Meibao dare not speak again, she took the medicine bowl and drank it.
I don't know if the power of the medicine has weakened this time, this night Liu Meibao felt that she was half asleep and half awake, and there was constant laughter around her, it was the three men who didn't have so many scruples to talk because she was asleep, and the words that fully expressed the nature of the gangster's kidnapping kept rushing into her ears, making her already not very sober thinking even more confused.....
I don't know how long it took, but the atmosphere suddenly became noisy, there seemed to be footsteps and crackling sounds, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
What's wrong, what's wrong, her heart kept shouting, her intuition told her that something was wrong, wake up and wake up.
It was getting hot, and it was getting harder and harder to breathe.
“… Mom/, it's not the master they're coming.. It's really on fire..."
With a sudden scream, Liu Meibao finally broke through the stua and woke up, and the sight-catching scene made her almost faint again.
It's on fire! This inn is on fire! Smoke everywhere!
There was fire inside and outside the house.
Subconsciously, Liu Meibao grabbed Lu Fang, who was sleeping close to him, and crawled to the ground, and the room was already crackling.
She dragged Lu Fang close to the ground, and footsteps sounded outside the door, accompanied by a violent cough.
"I can't do it anymore.." There was a man's hoarse scream, the door was pushed open but the footsteps were turned, and the sound of the thump was heard not long before the pop was heard and then the sound was gone.
Liu Meibao had already climbed to the table, she remembered that there was a teapot on the table, she didn't dare to get up, she grabbed the table leg and pushed hard, with a snap, the teapot fell and shattered, and the water seeped on the ground.
Liu Meibao tore off her thin underwear and pounced.
"Mother.." Lu Fang finally woke up, and as soon as he woke up, he coughed.
The smoke in the room was full, he couldn't see his mother's figure clearly, and he couldn't help crying, a wet cloth covered his open mouth, and the feeling of suffocation and heat suddenly subsided.
Liu Meibao dragged Lu Fang tightly with one hand and covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, and the other wet cloth covered his mouth and nose, and struggled to crawl towards the door.
She can live, they can live, and they must live.
