Chapter 285: Outside Jeju City
Outside Jeju City, the wind and snow are fluttering.
The scattered snowflakes fell to the ground and melted away, making the air a little colder, and the messy horses' hooves trampled the muddy ground to pieces, and Li Luo led thousands of soldiers to sit neatly on horseback, looking at the majestic Jeju City Gate in front of him.
After only half a day's travel, Li Luo had already arrived outside Jeju City. He had been waiting outside the city for about half an hour, just to meet the old man in the city, but the city gate seemed to be welded to death by molten iron, and even the soldiers above the city tower only looked at Li Luo under the city expressionlessly.
Li Luo waved his hand lightly and summoned the winter melon, which was almost the same as Wu Liang's: "Winter melon, has the greeting been delivered?" ”
Winter melon frowned and nodded: "Childe, long before we left, we had already sent the greeting post to Jeju City, but now I can't see Mr. Zhuge anymore, I'm worried about ......"
Although Zhuge Hou is now doing things for Xia Guo, after all, he was Li Luo's mentor and father-in-law, and Donggua did not dare to call Zhuge Hou's name, so he could only be called Mr.
A thoughtful expression flashed in his eyes, and Li Luo said in a deep voice: "With my master's ability, I'm afraid that he has already received the news the moment we left Huainan, he should have known that we arrived in Jeju, although he didn't go out of the city to meet each other, but I'm sure he must be observing us somewhere in secret." ”
"Childe!" Winter melon frowned slightly: "Jeju is the Longtan Tiger's Den, should we leave here first?" ”
"It's too late." Li Luo shook his head and smiled: "From the moment I received that letter, I only had two choices in front of me, one was to come to Jeju, and the other was not to come. Now that he's here, no matter what he wants to do, it's too late to leave now. ”
……
Outside the city of Jeju, in the deep mountains not far away, countless soldiers and horses have slowly surrounded Jeju.
On the top of the mountain, Zhou Ruchun looked at Li Luo outside Jeju City with a gloomy face, with a smug smile on his face, it was the man on horseback who made him one of the six famous generals in the world return in embarrassment several times, and now, nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses have surrounded Li Luo, just wait for him to give an order, he can take down this person who brought him humiliation in one fell swoop, and completely wash away the stain on his body.
Although he was extremely eager to take down Li Luo, when Zhou Ruchun looked at the old man who was silent on the side, he could only press this impulse alive.
"Dare to ask the military advisor, when will we start?" Zhou Ruchun asked in a deep voice: "Now that Li Luo has entered the urn, as long as an order is given, we can eradicate this huge scourge for the Xia Kingdom and make an immortal contribution." ”
When Zhuge Hou heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Zhou Ruchun lightly, and said with a smile: "The general's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have surrounded Li Luo, is it possible that he is still afraid that he will run away from you?" Or is it that the general was scared by Li Luo, and now he doesn't even have this bit of a city government? ”
Zhou Ruchun was stunned when he heard this, and immediately hurriedly waved his hand: "No, of course not, of course not." ”
Zhuge Hou smiled slightly: "Then please be patient with the general, and wait for me to see him." ”
"Still waiting?!" Zhou Ruchun looked puzzled and puzzled: "Isn't it a great opportunity to lead the army to kill now?" ”33
Zhuge Hou put his hands in his sleeves: "Then the general can give it a try." ”
"This ......" Zhou Ruchun's face was a little ugly, although he really wanted to do that, but looking at Zhuge Hou's appearance of Ren Jun's decision-making, Zhou Ruchun was a little uncertain. I'm afraid that I will ruin the overall situation because of my impulsiveness.
Zhuge Hou smiled slightly: "The general still hasn't given an order?" ”
Zhou Ruchun sighed and bowed his hand deeply to Zhuge Hou: "Zhou Ruchun, it is up to Mr. to decide." ”
Beckoning gently, Zhuge Hou commanded softly: "Come on, prepare the carriage." ”
……
On the muddy road, there was a sudden creaking sound of the wheel, and Li Luo, who had been waiting for an hour, looked back and saw a carriage slowly coming towards Li Luo and his party under the pull of a thin horse.
Glancing lightly at Jeju City, which was still closed behind him, and then at the carriage coming from outside the city in front of him, Li Luo's eyes turned slightly, as if he understood something.
The carriage slowly stopped four or five meters in front of everyone, and then the curtain opened, and Zhuge Hou stood on top of the carriage and arched his hand at Li Luo with a smile:
"Zhuge Hou, the military division of the Xia Kingdom, has seen King Huai."
Li Luo on horseback was slightly stunned, maybe even he didn't expect that the original father-son, master and apprentice would meet like today.
also bowed back, and Li Luo said in a deep voice: "The military advisor is polite." ”
Looking at the outside of Jeju City, where the mountains were lingering, Li Luo muttered: "I just don't know how many people the military division has arranged to kill me Li Luo outside Jeju City?" ”
Zhuge Hou stroked his beard and smiled, and replied to the question: "Go to danger alone, I remember that I didn't teach you that before." ”
Li Luo chuckled: "But the first sentence you taught me is that a gentleman has something to do and something not to do." ”
Zhuge Hou joked: "So, don't you think about the consequences of doing this for you now?" ”
"I've thought about it." Li Luo sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that it's useless to think about it in the end, so I just came." ”
"Confused!" Zhuge Hou snorted lightly, looked up at the sky, and said with emotion: "Okay, there is still some time, so I should give you a gift for the teacher to say goodbye." ”
"Don't you want to know the real reason for your father's death? Get in the carriage and I'll tell you all. ”
"Childe can't!" Hearing this, the winter melon on the side suddenly showed a look of vigilance, and said in a low voice: "He is no longer the former Mr. Zhuge , and the son can't go." ”
Li Luo looked at the winter melon, and his smile was a little complicated: "I told you a long time ago, it's already too late to come." ”
……
A charcoal fire was lit inside the carriage to completely isolate the icy air outside the carriage.
A pot of tea was boiling on the charcoal fire, and it was steaming hot.
Zhuge Hou poured a cup for Li Luo without hurry, and then brought himself another cup, the mist rising from the tea almost completely blocked Zhuge Hou's aged face, making Li Luo a little unable to see the old man's expression.
"Let's ...... How long has it been since we saw each other? Zhuge Hou suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Li Luo pondered for a moment and said, "It's been more than three months since the last time I said goodbye outside Huainan City. ”
"Three months!" Zhuge Hou's voice was full of complexity: "I thought it was three years......"
Li Luo held the teacup, frowned and said in a deep voice: "How many people are ambushed outside Jeju City?" ”
"Hundreds of thousands!"
"Am I not dead?"
"Almost."
"Before I die, I want to know everything, not too much."
"I know everything."
"Does my father's death have anything to do with you?"
Zhuge Hou, who had just put the teacup to his mouth, was stunned for a moment, and countless emotions flashed on his old face for a moment.
After a long time, the old man nodded lightly and said:
"Yes!"
Some people died, but not completely......
