"And."

Lu Yuyan then added, "In the previous contact with the merchants of the Western Regions, the concubine also heard that in the Western Regions and even in the Hexi area, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and the situation is complicated.

An Shao rushed to go and brought so many people, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient, and it may even cause suspicion among some people.

Therefore, the concubine thought that An Shao would better dress up as a caravan.

Lian'er has been with me for a long time, so let her go with you as a member of the caravan. ”

"That's a good idea, thank you Miss Lu!" Lu An immediately praised.

Lu Yuyan was quite thoughtful.

Lu An discussed with her again, and urgently purchased a part of the silk tea in the capital area as a cover for the caravan.

At the same time, he formed a caravan of a hundred girls and a hundred young men with him.

After a few months of training, these girls and boys are quite good, and they have all had performance experience in the Light Smoke Pavilion, so they just took this opportunity to go out and practice.

Three days later, everything was ready, Qiao'er's condition stabilized, and the caravan officially set off.

"Lingfeng, you must protect An'er well, you know?"

Outside the little boy village, Lu Mancang and Mu Cun kept admonishing, and Erma pleaded again with tears in her eyes, "Xianggong, take me with you, I will definitely not bother you!" ”

"Alas, daughter-in-law, you will give birth in two or three months, how can you travel a long way?"

"Don't worry, An'er has Lingfeng by her side, she will be fine."

"It's windy outside, so let's go back and get some rest."

The two elders and Lu Yuyan comforted and looked at the team that was gradually moving away worriedly.

Although everyone in the villa took good care of Erma, Lu Mancang and Mu Cun took care of her as a baby.

It's a pity that for Erma, who has lost her memory, Lu An is her only reliance in the world.

As long as he wasn't around, she lost all security.

So, only two days passed.

"Master, something is wrong!"

Xiao Qingzi ran to Lu Mancang in a panic early in the morning.

"Master, just now Yue'er went to call the young grandmother for breakfast, but the young grandmother didn't know where to go, and there was a horse missing in the Zhuangzi, it seems that the young grandmother should be chasing the young master!"

"What? Alas! This kid is really uneasy! Lu Mancang thumped his chest, "It's such a long way, she's a big-bellied woman, what if something happens to the child?" ”

"Forget it, Brother Lu." Mu Cun also shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid that kid has been gone all night, and if he wants to chase it now, I'm afraid he won't be able to chase it back, but fortunately, if he follows Lang Zhong in the caravan, it should be fine......

Suizhou, the secret room of Suiwangfu.

"General Pu really wants to go to the Western Regions?"

King Sui, Xia Gang, smiled persuasively, "Hehe, General Pu is a person who does great things, is he really willing to be called around?"

What's more, just for the sake of a woman, he transferred the elite of General Pu's subordinates away with a word, didn't he feel that he was taking advantage of some child's play? ”

General Pu's face was gloomy, "His Royal Highness King Sui doesn't need to say much, Pu came over today, just to inform His Highness."

As for the rest...... You don't have to worry about it, Your Highness, farewell! ”

At the same time, in the capital, a bloody storm has quietly unfolded!

In the Tianxiang Building, the second prince, Xia Chun, looked at a middle-aged lewd man in gorgeous clothes opposite with a solemn expression, "It's all done?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the villain is absolutely reliable, Li Zhong is now in a hurry like a madman, as long as the villain says a word, he can decide his life and death!"

Zhao You, who was sitting on the side, reminded in a low voice, "Second Highness, things should be done sooner rather than later, now Your Majesty's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he has not been to the court for six consecutive days."

Moreover, according to reliable information, His Majesty had secretly sent people to Suizhou the day before yesterday, and it seems that there is an intention to recall the King of Suizhou......"

Xia Chunyin smiled coldly, "The people sent by the father and emperor have not left the palace yet, and this king will know."

Zhao Xiang rest assured that the secret decree sent by Gonggong Zheng to Suizhou has already been intercepted by this king!

However, what Zhao Xiang said is not unreasonable.

This king has endured for half a year, and it's time to close the net!

Shopkeeper Luo, immediately detonate Li Zhong's chess piece!

This king doesn't want to wait any longer! ”

"Yes, the villain will do it......"

In front of the Guiyi gambling house, a strong man nearly two meters tall with a scruffy beard was violently pushed out.

"Shopkeeper Luo, you are okay, will you give me credit again?"

Shopkeeper Luo, who was dressed in a gorgeous suit, rubbed the ring on his tail finger and said with a cruel smile, "Li Zhong, do you have a bad memory?"

In the past six months, how much money have you borrowed from our gambling house?

If you don't remember, it doesn't matter, Luo has a bill here.

Exactly 17,000 taels!

Hehe, you are a little city protector, how much is a month's salary?

Oh, by the way, you don't seem to be on the right side now, are you?

Even if you don't eat or drink for a hundred years, can you still pay back this money!

Don't say that Lao Tzu is not emotional, and give you two more days to raise money.

If you don't pay back the money the day after tomorrow, you will send your sister over and make money!

Get lost! ”

On the street, seeing Li Zhong's dejected appearance, countless people shook their heads and sighed.

"Alas! A good officer, but he fell in love with gambling.

Not only did the family lose all the fine land, but he even caught up with his own sister, what a sin! ”

"What is this? I heard that this guy followed the army to the north before, fought bravely, made military exploits, and was awarded the title of Captain Zhiguo by the imperial court, but it was also withdrawn because of good gambling! ”

"It's a pity that the great future is gone!"

"Pity? Hey, who's going to make him gamble? 17,000 taels of gambling debts, even if he is a general, he can't afford to pay it back! ”

"If you want me to say, the most pitiful thing is his sister, who looks so smart, if this guy is not a good gambler, he will definitely marry in the future, but unfortunately, I am afraid that I can only see it in those places in Qingyan Pavilion or Jizhai in the future......"

Li Zhong took off his upper clothes, threw them on the street, and then pulled his hair fiercely, his expression was extremely remorseful.

After a while, when I walked into the dilapidated courtyard gate of my house, my well-behaved and lovely sister greeted me in a patch plain skirt.

"Brother, are you back? I've made a meal, let's eat it. ”

Li Zhong looked up at the two bowls and a small vegetable plate on the stone table in the courtyard, and there was only a little green vegetable leaf in the plate, and his heart was even more sour.

"I'm not eating!"

Li Zhong turned around directly at the gate of the courtyard, and was about to go around to relax, when he saw Zhao Laohan next door coming out with a smile.

"Brother Li, come, come to my house and sit down, I just bought a roast chicken, let's just talk while drinking."

Hearing this, Li Zhong swallowed his saliva, subconsciously raised his feet, and followed Zhao Laohan over.

Zhao Laohan is not doing his job, he is in his thirties, and he hasn't even married a wife.

In the past, Li Zhong didn't even pay attention to this kind of person, so although the two families were neighbors, they basically didn't have any contact.

But what he didn't expect was that in the past two months, I don't know what shit luck this guy has taken, not only has he married a beautiful daughter-in-law, but his life is getting better and better, almost every day.

After entering the door, a smell of wine and meat wafted out, and Li Zhong's throat once again grunted.

"Hehe, Brother Li, sit."

Zhao Laohan poured two bowls of wine, Li Zhong was not polite, picked up the wine bowl and dried it, and then tore off a piece of roast chicken leg regardless of the image, and swallowed it.

"Brother Zhao, the younger brother doesn't have a lot of money, can you lend me some silver?"

Looking at the furnishings in the room, Li Zhong asked while biting on the chicken.

"Hehe, we're neighbors, what's this little thing?

Brother Li wants to borrow as much as he wants, just say it bluntly. ”

Li Zhong didn't expect that the old man, who had always been despised by him before, would be so easy to speak, and immediately stretched out five fingers, "Five, how about fifty taels?" ”

"Small." Zhao Laohan nodded without hesitation.

Li Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and when he saw the other party get up to get the money, his eyes suddenly lit up.

However, Zhao Laohan just got up and sat back again.

"Brother Li, in fact, my brother has also heard some about you."

"If you are in trouble, my brother is definitely willing to help."

"It's just that it's hard to take care of the long-term poverty!"

"Brother will give you fifty taels now, what if you lose again?"

"Don't forget, you owe more than 10,000 taels of silver to the gambling house!"

Seeing this, Li Zhong hurriedly pleaded, "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will never gamble again, and I will pay you back in a few days!" ”

"In a few days?" Zhao Laohan shook his head meaningfully, "I heard that the shopkeeper Luo of the Guiyi Gambling House gave his brother two days, and if he doesn't repay the money at that time, he will use your sister to pay off the debt, right?"

Your sister is such a peugeot girl, could you really bear to send her to the fire pit? ”

When Li Zhong heard this, his expression immediately darkened, and even the roast chicken on the table felt that he had lost his appetite.

"I don't have the money, and my sister can't sell it, it's a big deal to die!"

Zhao Laohan stretched out his thumb and praised, "Brother is really tough, he is a man!" ”

The words changed, "However, it is natural to kill people to pay for their lives and repay debts." ”

"Even if my brother dies, will the people in the gambling house give up?"

"Don't forget, who dares to open a gambling house in the capital, which one doesn't have a backstage?"

"I've heard that the Luo shopkeeper of Guiyi Gambling House is quite powerful in the background!"

"Even if the elder brother wants to settle the debt with death, it is impossible for the shopkeeper Luo to agree."

"Maybe the day after you die, someone will forcibly send your sister to those unclean places."

"He dares to !!" Li Zhong's face immediately showed ruthlessness, and he smashed his fist on the wine table.

Zhao Laohan was taken aback, and recovered his expression after a while, "Don't be angry, brother, in fact, you haven't really come to a dead end."

As long as you are willing, not only do you not have to worry about those debts, but you don't have to worry about someone thinking about your sister-in-law, and even if you take back the land you sold, it is not impossible! ”

"Huh?" Li Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and then grabbed Zhao Laohan's arm, "Brother, do you have a way?" Let's talk about it! ”
