Good morning! Three Kingdoms Migrant Workers Section 118
β¦β¦ Anyway, regardless of whether it is true or not, under the premise that Xuzhou is undecided, Liu Bei does not dare to let Lu Hangyu come back. The reason is quite simple, after all, Xiao Pei is on the border line between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and it is a standard front-line position, if he really can't keep it, he will take a large family to Guangling, and there is a spare stronghold here.
Of course, it's not very stable, but then again, in troubled times, there is no land in the world that is stable.
As the weather gets colder, the ecology next to the ditch is wreaked havoc by her, and the original jungle and wilderness are gone, replaced by patches of camps, and the troops of Zhenrong and the recruits are divided into two battalions, stationed on the riverside, and to the east is a camp of people, and where the people live.
The reclaimed wilderness has been transformed into farmland, and after a few months, the grain has been harvested once, and now it is busy starting to plant in autumn and winter, so that such a large population can be fed, or thanks to this period of low population density, there are jungles and rivers everywhere, and the climate near the Yangtze River is relatively mild, so how can they survive.
The fanatical believers were slowly moved to live outside the city by her, she usually lives in Guangling City, and occasionally goes to the street without worrying about the death of the society, the scholars seem to be very honest, I don't know if her soldiers and horses make them very honest, or is it really like Xu Meng said, just like she likes her so much?
But at least after she came, the thieves on Tu Tang's side saw that a camp had been built on the shore, and immediately stopped a lot, and there was no more looting in a few months. The "Five Thunder Virtuous Masters" stationed at the foot of Hengshan Mountain did not say anything, and everyone spent the first few months in silence and peace as if they did not exist for each other.
But one day in late September, everything changed.
Although the thieves did not come to Guangling, but Guangling was rich, and the merchants of Tu Tang still liked to come over to do some business, especially when the camp was built on the riverside, and many people migrated here, it was naturally more lively here, and gradually there was a posture of building another city.
Those people under the command of the "Five Thunder Sages" also mixed into the caravan, first came to buy some things, and then there were drunken and immoral, picking quarrels and provoking trouble. But since there are soldiers here, and they are fanatical soldiers of different faiths, and there are additional hatred points for different faiths, of course, it is easy to beat these people up and drive them back.
Although in her opinion...... Zhen Rong's ability to control his subordinates and not kill those people was already a sign of extraordinarily leniency for this sociopathic murderer, but obviously, that group of "Five Thunder Dao" believers didn't think so.
Naturally, no one dared to come to the wilderness near the barracks, but when someone was grazing, he drove a cow to Hangou, looking for some fresh and nutritious grass to eat, and coincidentally met a few "Five Thunder Dao" believers, in addition to the cow, and several pigs from nearby farmers were also snatched away.
This matter was not worth the labor Taishou to come over to deal with it personally, and she was just a routine that day, coming to the camp to inspect, after all, this army was originally not owned by her, and she really had to be careful.
β¦β¦ I don't know why there is a feeling of Dong Zhuo.
When she saw the people complaining outside the camp, she asked more.
"They were plundered by thieves from the West Bank, and lost a cow and five pigs," replied the camp officer, "and nothing else. β
"Although it doesn't sound like much, in the end, it is also the family money they have worked so hard to save," she frowned and said, thinking that she couldn't fight with Yuan Shu for a few livestock, this was indeed just a small fight, so she could only frown again, "When the farm is busy, the mules and horses in the camp will lend them a few families for two months." In addition, there must be more sentry along the coast, even if it is from the upstream to cross the river, it must be investigated, and no more thieves must be allowed to disturb the people. β
The little officer bowed down and went out of the camp to deal with these trivial matters, and in a moment the cries of a woman became louder.
It was indeed quite unlucky, and it was normal to cry, and when she thought like this, the woman's cry was faintly mixed with some bitterness, and she did not pay attention to it at first, but a few words floated into the camp, and she was stunned when she heard it.
"Apart from these animals," she asked, "was there anything else that was taken?" β
A few guards looked at each other, and one ran out, and then ran back in a moment.
"Hear me clearly, General, in addition to the livestock, the thieves also took a woman." The guard said a little embarrassed, "But the little official said that it would probably be released back in a few days, so he didn't report it to the general." β
She didn't understand, or she actually understood, but she didn't understand the train of thought of this group of people.
"What do you mean 'in a few days, it's likely to be back'?"
The guard glanced cautiously at the young general in front of him, as if he was considering how to report the matter to him - after all, the general lived a simple life, and he was not close to women, and the age of the weak crown was not yet a weak crown, and the guard was a little unsure whether the general was asking rhetorically or really did not understand.
"Last year, there were remnants of Montenegro's troops here, and they often crossed the border to harass," the guard finally said, "After Zhao Yu Taishou led the troops to repel, they reined in a lot, and they robbed the women, at least a few days, or more than ten days, and they would always be released......"
"So you're telling me that I'll tell the woman to wait a few days before her daughter will come back?"
The guard wanted to nod, but he didn't know what the general's attitude was, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded cautiously.
The woman outside the camp, who was in her forties, was lying on the ground with her hair disheveled, crying out heartbreakingly, and there were people around her who persuaded her, some helped her, and some comforted her, but it was clear that no one could take her place in the pain.
She was in rags, with a pair of old straw sandals on her two dirty feet, she was not from a solid background, and her face was not beautiful after being destroyed by wind and weather. Lu Hangyu looked left and right, and felt that through the outline of the facial features, the woman's daughter was probably not mediocre.
- Like the woman.
β and like her.
So she walked in the direction of the woman.
"General?" The military academy in the camp also ran over at this time, "The general is afraid that the girl will not come back, and wants to give the woman a gold silk as a pension?" β
"No," she walked quickly, and in a moment she reached the woman, but the words were addressed to the military school, "there is no need to give her money. β
The military school exhaled with relief.
"I'll just go and bring her daughter back."
Lu Hangyu's voice was not high, but the surrounding people were frightened by her, and began to exchange ears with each other, and the startled military academy hurriedly stepped forward, "General, if the general wants to negotiate with such a Five Thunder Dao believer, it is enough to send a messenger, how can he risk his own visit!" β
If she only wanted to bring the girl back, it would be enough to send a small servant as a messenger.
But what if she didn't just want to bring the girl back, she also wanted to bring back the thief who had taken the girl?
She only robbed two animals, and she endured it.
Although Lu Hangyu is not familiar with the world, but the thoughts of these superiors, she also understands a little, even if the "Five Thunder Sages" did not condone his subordinates to do evil, he would not be so soft, and he was willing to send his soldiers to the hands of similar enemies with a letter, and dispose of them at will.
What kind of letter is she going to write? Or, what kind of message should be sent across the river to achieve this goal? If her words are strong, what will happen to the Messenger?
Aren't you very clear in your heart? Blackblade asked lightly.
[I know," she said, "but I may well have to take the life of a minor servant." γ
[Yes, but in this way, you will be famous.] γ
She scoffed a little at this, "I'll go by myself, and I'll still be famous." γ
This answer silenced Blackblade for a moment, "Are you sure you're sane enough now?" Are you sure you're ready to start a war? Come to think of it, she was just a peasant girl, not noble enough to have any family power to rely on, and her life was insignificant in the eyes of many - attention, including your soldiers. Do you think they are willing to put their lives on the line for such a little girl? Wouldn't that be a little ridiculous? γ
[I would never say that I was ready to start a war.] She said, "I don't care what the soldiers think...... No, I hope they can understand me, and I also hope that Yuan Shu and the generals under his command can understand......]
As the sun gradually went west, the shadows of the barracks, trees, fences, chariots and horses, and everything were slowly elongated and blurred.
Only the woman was still clear.
She was kowtowing to her, slamming her head the ground, not caring about the blood; The people around them were talking to each other, whispering, as if it was difficult to understand the scene; Even more difficult to understand the general was the military academy beside her, who was still trying to convince her to dismiss the idea.
Lu Hangyu finally swallowed back many words in his heart.
Yuan Shu, an arrogant person, doesn't even take his cousin Yuan Shao in his eyes, and only treats him as a house slave, how can he understand her truth?
The Black Blade could naturally read her thoughts, and those sarcasms and doubts did not need her to persuade and explain in vain.
When she said it, even she felt that most people would think it was hypocrisy.
Even thinking about it further would see it as an inadequate pretext for bell.
[No, they won't understand me," she finally sighed a little wistfully and turned her gaze to her horse, but they would understand my sword. γ
She mounted her horse and looked condescendingly at the military academy, "Fetch me a burqa, and send someone into the city to find the master of the field, and ask him to be on duty in the camp tonight, and if there is any movement on the other side, he will be ready for battle." β
"Yes!"
Chapter 129
When the sun sets in the west, if the mountains block the last trace of the sun, the sky will get darker faster, and the camp is full of flags and curtains that intersect with black and cyan colors, and it looks particularly dim.
Different from the soldiers in the camp, the believers of the Five Thunder Dao were dressed in black robes, embroidered with thunder and lightning runes, wide-sleeved robes, and fluttering clothes.
But this is true in the camp, and it does not mean that the tent of the "Five Thunder Magi" is also the same.
She simply swept around and found that there were many precious ornaments in the tent, a wrong gold moire Boshan furnace here, a bronze goose fish lamp there, and even a brocade tapestry on the ground, which felt very strange. Although she made her debut as a pig killer, she still has a little bit of normal aesthetics, and she has also eaten at the scholar's house, and probably knows how people decorate and how to put ornaments.
But the aesthetic taste of this "Five Thunder Sages" can't even catch up with the declining scholar Chen Ding, she thinks, the Fan family has put the few ornaments at home that are a little worth a little money very decently, which is not eye-catching, but also allows guests to feel its existence, so as to feel the elegant taste of this mansion.
If it weren't for the strange aesthetics, it can only be said that this "Five Thunder Sages" was from a very low background, and he didn't know how to place these robbed, or the rare ornaments rewarded by Yuan Shu, so he arranged the tent in a full nouveau riche style.
Lu Hangyu observed the various details in this tent in this way, and the ghost master standing on the side and the "Five Thunder Sages" behind the curtain were also silently observing her.
Probably the ghost master thought that this little official was from a poor background and had never seen such exquisite and gorgeous things, so he was extremely merciful and allowed the young man to take a closer look before laughing at him.
"Do you know now what a revered position the 'Five Thunder Sages' is?"
"Yes." The little official replied in a low voice, but did not speak, "I hope that the sage will hand over the peasant girl and her robber to me." β
The sage behind the curtain did not speak, so the ghost master stepped forward and laughed sharply.
"Don't you know that Taishou once pretended to be a virtuous teacher and laughed at the people of the world?"
β¦β¦ This was true, but she felt that this sage was not without her name, so how could this be reasonable? Matryoshka dolls? If she says now that she is a sword missing, is she going to perform a "real and false Monkey King"?
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to seek common ground while reserving differences, take a step back, and be peaceful.
"We don't want any more animals, but we don't want them," she said kindly, "but the peasant girl and the thief will be handed over to me to take away." β
"Ridiculous!" The ghost master said, "Whether it is a peasant girl or a domestic animal, the peasants voluntarily worship the sage!" You know what! β
β¦β¦ She was dumbfounded.
The "Five Thunder Magi" behind the curtain was still silent, and there was no light candle, so there was only a shadowy figure there, which seemed to be still observing her.
"What nonsense is this person talking about," she said, "This is a strong word. γ
[No way, you're not good at negotiating,] Black Blade is a little gloating, [Come by yourself, suffer hardship.] γ
γβ¦β¦ It's not a bitter end. γ
She always wanted to have a calm discussion with others, at least she always worked on it at first.
β¦β¦ I don't know why it always doesn't work well.
"The ghost master said so, but I didn't believe it," she shook her head, "We Taishou claim to be the number one swordsman in the world, and I have also seen a few tricks and learned a few swordsmanship, so the ghost master might as well invite the respected master out, and we will have a competition." β
In the flickering lights, the flickering face suddenly distorted for a moment, "Bold!" β
"If I win," she was not afraid, "what if I hand over the peasant girl and the thief to me?" β
The ghost master's expression became hideous, he took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and was about to shout loudly, when the guards entered the tent to pull this impudent fanatic out to dispose of it, there was a sudden movement behind the curtain.
"Stop." The man said, "Give the peasant girl back to him." β
She hadn't heard the man's voice, at least not noticed, so it wasn't an acquaintance of hers.
And this figure also looks very tall, if she has seen it, she should also have an impression.
Anyway, that's not the point.
"And the thief," she said, "I'll take it with me." β
"You really believe that your Taishou dares to be so rude," the "Five Thunder Magi" behind the curtain said coldly, "Don't you know who I am? β
"If I didn't know," she said very calmly, "I wouldn't have said these things to the Magi. β
The shadow suddenly moved closer to the tent, and the figure seemed taller and more intimidating, as if a dark cloud had enveloped the entire tentβat least that's how he felt the frightened look of the ghost master beside him.
"You're not crowned yet, you're still young," came a rolling thunderous sound from the heavy, dark clouds, "you won't want to see my sword." β
She looked at the dark cloud, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, trying to make herself look humble, "I really don't want to, I just want to take that peasant girl and that thief." β
