Chapter 1560: Encounter with a thief
On the first day, I only walked sixty miles, which was still close to the county town, so it was easier to walk, and the sergeants under my command were also good.
In the era of cold weapons, soldiers carried heavy loads, armor all over their bodies, swords, guns, bows and arrows, all on two legs, and were not qualified to take any means of transportation.
When encountering plank roads or rope bridges with treacherous terrain, the family's carriage is not only carefully protected, but also tied to the rope and dragged forward and pushed back, which is very troublesome.
Besides, the commander Tongzhi is also a big official from the fourth grade, and it is impossible to stay in the wilderness at night, and if you can't meet a post station, you have to find a village, so you can't miss the accommodation. So there was still more than an hour before dark, and the trip ended the day.
On the way, Luo Chong and Liu Mingtang rode side by side, and they really talked a lot, and even talked about their views on the general trend of the world.
Luo Chong was very patient, he didn't feel bored, he talked eloquently, but he fooled Lord Liu into a fog, and he was fooled in his heart: This is a straight general, who is simply brave and strategic, both civil and military, with unique views and well-informed......
In short, he must be impressed.
At night, they stayed in a village, and the family of three temporarily lived in the village chief's house, and in the dead of night, the couple were still talking quietly while lying on the kang.
During the day, some of Luo Chong's words could also be heard by Mrs. Liu in the carriage, so she had a deeper judgment: this person is unfathomable and quite terrifying!
"He said that if this continues, the Great Jin Dynasty is likely to be unsafe......
Mrs. Liu asked her husband, "Do you believe such a bold statement?"
The freedom of speech in the Jin Dynasty was okay, and in the most enlightened period, scholars would not be arrested if they scolded the emperor outside the palace, of course, this generation of emperors was relatively mediocre and would definitely not be able to tolerate it.
Therefore, Luo Chong said that it is very likely that the country is not guaranteed, and Lord Liu and his family only think that their remarks are bold, and they don't think there is anything wrong, don't be stupid, just say this in front of those bigwigs in the capital.
"Not believing ......"
Liu Mingtang sighed in a low voice: "But I have heard this point of view several times, but it is not as profound and clear as him, which makes me feel like I am suddenly opened." Hey, how to say it, of course, I also feel that the future is bleak, and there is not much hope. ”
As a military attaché, he undoubtedly knows the most about the comprehensive combat strength of the Jin Dynasty army, and if it continues to rot like this, it will become a plate of scattered sand, and Qingyuan and other countries will hardly have too decent resistance when they come in.
"Well, it's too big a topic to leave it alone for now. ”
Mrs. Liu said again: "Just say, how have you changed your opinion of Luo Dong, and do you still plan to help him become a thousand households in Guangling?"
"That's not going to change. ”
Liu Mingtang did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "Yu public and private, I have found such a talent, and I must not bury it, but I can't guess what kind of journey he can go in the future." ”
If a person has the ability, you can befriend him, but if you are too capable and get too close to him, it will be a blessing and a disaster.
In short, Luo Chong's future development greatly exceeds Liu Mingtang's previous predictions, which is difficult to judge and difficult to judge.
"I can only walk and watch. ”
Mrs. Liu said softly: "For now, there is no harm in getting a good relationship, and if you feel that the situation is not good in the future, it should be too late to deliberately distance yourself." ”
"Madame is very right. ”
Liu Mingtang nodded, the two stopped talking, and fell asleep separately.
During the next day's trip, Lord Liu no longer talked with Luo Chonggao, but intentionally or unintentionally pointed out some ways to be an official, what is rigid and easy to break, good as water, to know how to temporarily avoid, take a step back and open the sky......
Knowing that he was kind-hearted, Luo Chong also felt boring and tasteless, I understand these truths, but I don't need to be so careful.
It's right to be just and easy to fold, but in this world, who can fold me?
I really couldn't stand it, and I didn't want to show it, Luo Chong once again used the Dafa of evasion, got a clone to be taught with an open mind, and the ontological consciousness entered the small universe to enjoy happiness again.
The doppelganger is really super dedicated, and it didn't make Liu Mingtang feel a trace of impatience, neither humble nor arrogant, and every response was just right. Therefore, when he went to bed the next night, Liu Mingtang praised Luo Chong in front of Mrs. Liu: This kid is still very humble.
Mrs. Liu also believes that coupled with this modesty, his future is more promising.
But early in the morning of the third day, Miss Liu was really unbearable, and said to her parents: "Don't talk anymore, okay, I'm annoyed to listen to it, it's hard for Luo Dong to endure it all the time, isn't it just a big official, and you can't torture people like this, right?"
"You girl......"
Liu Mingtang shook his head and smiled, but he also felt that it should be done in moderation, so as not to be overzealous and counterproductive.
Mrs. Liu had strange eyes in her eyes, and wanted to say to her daughter, 'You seem to be protecting him', but she felt that she might have thought too much about it, and it was better not to mention it.
Although she is optimistic about Luo Chong, Mrs. Liu does not want her future son-in-law to be a military attaché, coinciding with troubled times, no one can predict the fate of the military attaché, even if she does not die on the battlefield, she will fight outside for several years, and the wives and concubines at home will be equivalent to widowhood.
Marrying a rich squire is better than a military attaché.
I was on the road for the first two days, nothing unusual, and on the third day, I really encountered bandits.
Dada......
Ma Hanzi is back, and he is the other person in the team who can ride a horse.
"Hundred households, there is a dense forest on the left side of the road ahead, and there are frightened birds circling above the forest, and if it does not fall, there must be a large number of people lurking inside. ”
After hearing Ma Hanzi's report, Luo Chong didn't investigate with his divine thoughts, such cheating would only greatly weaken his curiosity and interest, so he asked like an ordinary general: "Do you think the other party is coming for us?"
Ma Hanzi glanced at Liu Mingtang and reasoned truthfully: "The premise is that Lord Liu did not carry valuable treasures with him, then, in terms of our hurry, it is impossible for the other party to predict so accurately." ”
Liu Mingtang shook his head slightly at Luo Chong, meaning: I came out to play with my family, how could I carry treasures and ignore the safety of my relatives.
Luo Chong nodded: "In this way, they should be coming for others, we just happened to meet at the meeting." ”
Liu Mingtang nodded silently in agreement.
Then, if you don't want to wade into this troubled water, the best way is to stay where you are, wait until the gang of robbers is done with the business, and then leave naturally, and then go on the road safely.
However, Luo Chong raised his voice to everyone and said: "What is a soldier and what is a thief, since we have encountered it, even if it is not aimed at us, we can't sit idly by." Defending the family and the country and deterring the small is the duty of a soldier!"
"Wow!"
These words are righteous and awe-inspiring, but the brothers all know that the hundred households brought us out to train soldiers and make a fortune, it doesn't matter what is right or wrong, when we meet it, it is as simple as that!
Luo Chong stood on the moral high ground, and Liu Mingtang and his wife were not easy to oppose clearly, and it seemed that they had no intention of objecting.
However, Miss Liu's beautiful eyes looked through the translucent curtain at the vigorous figure sitting on the back of a horse, and her eyes were full of appreciation, envy, and even a little bit of admiration.
If he is a man, how good it should be, and he can be like him, with a horizontal knife and a majestic spirit.
Mrs. Liu has been secretly paying attention to her daughter, and at this time she said in her heart: It's bad, our girl just can't see this......
