Chapter 172: Lu Bu was ordered to protect the concubine
Although Tang Xing'er's injuries were not serious, Chen Yuniang still took her to her home.
After dinner, Chen Yuniang thought about going to the tea house, so she left Tang Xing'er at home alone.
Tang Xing'er sat on the bed, looking at the bandaged instep, her heart was full of fear, she was not worried about her foot injury, what she was worried about was that without the medicine, she would not be able to retrieve the antidote, what should she do if she had an attack?
It's quiet outside.
Tang Xing'er got out of bed and leaned on the window to look out.
When she saw the tall black shadow coming around from behind, approaching the window, Tang Xing'er almost collapsed.
"Why did Apricot girl hide here?"
The man stood at the window, his face was hidden in the night, but Tang Xing'er felt inexplicably afraid.
"My son-in-law has expected that you will not attack Tang Lubu easily, so ask the villain to come and take a look, if Miss Xing'er is really embarrassed, forget it, just don't stay in the sisters' house, lest you see your corpse and scare them." The man spoke unhurriedly, as if he were chatting with a good friend.
But in Tang Xing'er's ears, it was nothing less than a thunderclap.
"Strong man, please stay." Seeing that the person was about to leave after speaking, Tang Xing'er couldn't help but scream.
The man deliberately turned his head slowly.
"Medicine, medicine is lost." Tang Xing'er's voice trembled.
The man thought about it and seemed to be determining the truth of Tang Xing'er's words.
"Okay, in that case, please wait a while, and the villain will pick it up again for you." As he spoke, he walked around the back and disappeared.
Tang Xing'er sat back on the bed.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of "plopping" from behind.
As the sound landed, another dark shadow walked out from behind.
Almost at the same time, the front door was pushed open, and Diao Chan walked in.
"Brother Lu, Sister Mink?" Tang Xing'er exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Bu dragged the person just now in his hand.
Obviously, the voice just now was made by Lu Bu knocking that person down.
"Sister Xing'er is okay, right?" Diao Chan didn't dare to get too close to Lu Bu and the person, stood in front of the gate, and asked.
Seeing that person being captured by Lu Bu, Tang Xing'er's face turned snow-white.
"Bold thief, what do you want to come here at night?" Lu Bu broke off his drink, which scared Tang Xing'er and that person to tremble again and again.
"Your brother knows that Miss Yu Niang is going to the teahouse, and he is worried that you are here alone, so he came on purpose, but he doesn't want to see this thief trying to escape, is my sister really okay?" Diao Chan asked again.
Tang Xing'er didn't know how to answer.
Lu Bu grabbed the man's arm and twisted it slightly.
"But when you see the girl alone, do you want to do something indecent?"
This twist made the person sweat coldly.
"Ying and heroes spare their lives, villains have no such intentions."
"With such a hard mouth, don't blame Benhou." Lu Bu said, twisting his arm vigorously again.
The man's body formed an arc with the twisting of his arm, and he kept pleading, and he had to say nonsense, "The little puppet passed here, and when he saw the girl alone, he was heartbroken, but when he heard the hero's footsteps, he didn't dare to stop, and hoped that the hero remembered that I was just a first offense, and I didn't hurt the girl, and spared the villain." ”
Tang Xing'er seized the opportunity.
"Brother Lu, what this person said is also true, and the little sister has not been harmed."
"In that case, how to deal with it?" Lu Bu asked Tang Xing'er.
Tang Xing'er hesitated.
"Girl, let me go, the villain will definitely repay the girl with all his strength in the future." The man said to Tang Xing'er.
Thinking that she hadn't gotten the antidote yet, Tang Xing'er didn't dare to embarrass him too much.
"Brother Lu, let him go once."
Hearing Tang Xing'er say this, Lu Bu nodded and let go of his hands.
The man jumped up from the ground and fled without looking back.
Diao Chan dared to walk to the window and looked at Tang Xing'er's feet beside the bed.
"Sister Xing'er still goes back with my husband and wife, and she can't stay here alone. If Miss Yu Niang returns, she will go to my husband and wife to find you. ”
Tang Xing'er thought about it and got out of bed.
The three of them were about to go out, and Chen Yuniang came back.
"Sister Xing'er is home alone, and the little woman is not at ease, so she is back." Chen Yuniang explained.
At Diao Chan's insistent request, Chen Yuniang also returned to Lu Bu and Diao Chan's residence with the three of them.
The next day, before dawn, there was a knock on the door.
The person who came was an official from Kaifeng Prefecture.
"Your Excellency has received news that you will report to the forbidden army today." The messenger said, "Your Excellency is waiting in the mansion with the people sent by Zhao Huan. ”
Lu Bu was stunned.
"Didn't you go to work in three days?"
"I'm afraid there is something urgent for Tang Zhuangshi to do." The officer replied.
Lu Bu remembered the clash with several forbidden soldiers yesterday, and he was still very uncomfortable.
Kaifeng Mansion:
The people sent by Zhao Huan were waiting under the lobby.
This man was wearing heavy armor, looking like he was before the battle, and from time to time he flicked the horsewhip in his hand a few times, obviously waiting a little impatiently.
Seeing Lu Bu coming, Master Bao beckoned to him, and then said in a low voice, "If Concubine Liu wants to return to Chuzhou, long live you will take someone to escort her, and Tang Zhuangshi must not take it lightly." ”
Lu Bu was taken aback.
I didn't expect that before I took office, the emperor would already delegate such an important task to myself?
"When are you leaving?"
"This needs to be ordered by General Zhao Huan." Bao Zheng replied.
Lu Bu strode over to the warrior.
The warrior just glanced at him, pointed out the door, and signaled that everything was ready for Lu Bu.
It must be a war horse from the forbidden army, in addition to the appearance of being extremely handsome, the foot strength is also surprisingly good, Lu Bu rode on it, and suddenly felt that he had the feeling of fighting across the horse again.
In fact, the camp of the forbidden army was not set up outside the palace, but in the open space not far from the city gate, and the neighing of horses could be heard in the distance.
Outside a large tent, the warrior jumped off his horse and motioned for Lu Bu to wait.
Not long after, a word came from the big tent asking Lu Bu to go in.
Zhao Huan, who was also wearing heavy armor, sat in the middle of the big tent, and there were more than a dozen warriors standing beside him, and the sound of armor rubbing came from time to time.
"General Ben knows that the strong man of Tang is hard, and he wants the strong man to rest for a few more days, how can he long live the strong man this time, and the general is also helpless." Zhao Huan said, "Presumably, it must be because Tang Zhuangshi has won the trust of Banzai, so it will be like this." ”
"The villain's surname is Lu." Lu Bu didn't want to spread the surname Tang among the forbidden army, so he corrected.
Zhao Huan didn't seem to hear it at all.
"Presumably, Lord Bao has already told Tang Zhuangshi that the escort this time is the concubine of the dynasty, and there must be no accidents on the road, and I hope that Tang Zhuangshi will prepare carefully." Zhao Huan continued, pointing with his hand to the warriors standing on both sides, "Tang Zhuang can choose a few generals to accompany him, and he can take care of them along the way." ”
Lu Bu's gaze swept over everyone's faces.
There are a few people Lu Bu recognizes, it is the samurai who did it in the restaurant yesterday.
Lu Bu naturally didn't pick them, but Lu Bu didn't recognize the rest of the people, so he had to point indiscriminately in the crowd.
"Okay, you wait and go down and get ready, and you can board early tomorrow morning. At that time, General Ben will wait for you to gather 500 soldiers. Zhao Huan said.
