Chapter 154: Act in accordance with the law
In order to hurry as soon as possible, Lu An also specially taught Wei Yang how to ride a horse, and after spending three days, he could finally ride a horse alone, in fact, the speed was still not too fast, but this speed was much faster than before.
After that, Lu An bought a third horse, so the three of them, three horses, and a wolf began to hurry.
What used to be a three-day journey is now a one-day journey.
Of course, the disadvantages of this speed are also obvious, take Wei Yang as an example, at the beginning, Wei Yang was very interested, and felt that he was one step closer to becoming Lu An, but the good times did not last long, after three days, he began to complain, because of the long-term riding, although the speed is not fast, but he has been maintaining a posture, this time and again bumps, directly grinding his buttocks and thighs are swollen, and even walking has become a problem after getting off the horse.
And Li Li, who is over the age of old, also has various small problems, especially the problem of the waist, after standing upright for three days, he finally couldn't hold on, the soreness of the lumbar spine directly made him unable to straighten his waist, and even the action of getting off the horse was helped down by Lu An.
This non-stop small situation also made Lu An very sad, one old and one young, and his body really had no choice but to slow down.
During this period, Lu An acted as a doctor, gave Wei Yang medicine, and helped Li Li rub his waist, but fortunately, Lu An brought some good medicine for injuries, and the two of them recovered directly in two or three days.
After learning the lesson, the way of rushing has changed, one day of travel, one day of walking and resting, and the speed has become much slower than before.
For this reason, the two looked at Lu An with apologetic eyes.
But fortunately, the destination this time was not what Lu An wanted to go, so Lu An didn't force it.
At the same time, I am also trying to take care of their physical strength, so as not to get tired when I get it, it will be worth the loss, especially this old man, whose face is getting worse and worse.
After a difficult twenty days, the three of them finally arrived in the Eastern Capital, and after asking, they found that they could go to Sungkyon School in another day, which means that the time is also a little rich, and they can finally take a little rest.
But more importantly, in fact, Li Li finally couldn't hold it anymore, his face was pale, his body was thin, he had lost several pounds during this time, and his body, which was not very fleshy, looked like a skin and bone at the moment.
Lu An really couldn't stand it anymore, so he dragged him to see the doctor, but fortunately, he didn't see any major problems, but his body was too weak during this time, and he needed to recuperate and make up for it.
Then Lu An prepared a Yuan Qi Pill for Li Li and asked him to try it, anyway, there was no harm in eating this thing, but the medicine prescribed by the doctor was still being eaten.
After knowing that Sungkyun Academy was only one day's journey, Li Li was really relieved, and agreed to Lu An's arrangement to recuperate.
Li Li also picked up the pen for a long time and worked hard to write, it seems that he has been thinking about a lot of things during this time, and Wei Yang was also locked in the room and looked at the book.
In this way, Lu An has become the most idle person, and grabbing medicine and decoction has become what Lu An needs to do.
As usual, Lu An went out and went to the pharmacy not far away to grab the medicine, ready to decoct the medicine for Li Li.
As soon as I reached the door of the pharmacy, I saw an old woman in very tattered clothes, but very cleanly dressed, sitting there, holding a bowl in her hand, shaking.
When she saw Lu An approaching, the old woman hurried over, looked embarrassed, and stammered: "Okay, my lord, enjoy the food." ”
When the old woman approached, Lu An found that the old woman's legs were still lame, and he couldn't help frowning, seeing that although the woman in front of him was dressed in tatters, she was very clean, and she looked unspeakable, not like a beggar at all.
Although Lu An saw a hint of abnormality, he didn't have any other thoughts, shook his head with a smile, and then walked straight in.
The old woman saw that Lu An ignored him, her face was lonely, she dragged her legs, moved back to the steps on the side, and sat blankly, looking into the distance with her eyes blank.
Lu An greeted the guy inside in the pharmacy, and when the guy saw that it was Lu An, he quickly greeted him with a smile, and then grabbed it skillfully according to the prescription, and it didn't take long to get it done.
Lu An took it casually, and when he was about to leave, he saw that the woman at the door had been sitting motionless on the steps, and he couldn't help but be curious.
"Man, who is that person at the door?" asked Lu An.
The guy glanced at it and sighed, "She, too, is a poor person, his son is not filial, he was beaten by his son before, and now he is driven out by his son, and his leg is broken, so he can only beg on the street, and the boss also sees her pitiful, so he doesn't drive her, and sometimes he gives her food." ”
Lu An sighed, nodded, glanced at the old woman a few more times, and then went out, took out some broken silver taels, and put them in the old woman's hands.
The old woman suddenly saw the silver taels in her hand, and immediately panicked, and quickly waved her hand and pushed it back.
Lu An was surprised for a moment, looking puzzled, "You don't want it?"
"My lord, I just want money for food, it's too much. The old woman replied with an embarrassed expression.
Lu An pushed it over again, "Just take it and eat it slowly." ”
The old woman shook her head firmly, and pushed it back.
At this moment, Lu An wondered, this is not what a beggar should look like at all.
Right here, the guy from the pharmacy came over and said to Lu An: "Childe, you better don't give so much, save her trouble." ”
"What do you mean?" asked Lu An in confusion.
"His son gambles every day, so the money you give may be snatched away by his son the next day. The guy explained.
The old woman bowed her head in loneliness.
Lu An raised his eyebrows, "There is also this kind of thing, my son doesn't care if his mother lives or dies, and he still comes to rob money?"
The guy nodded, "His son is such a person, otherwise she wouldn't stay on the street begging, and when she sees it, she will beg for money, or beat her up, alas." ”
"My lord, you better take this money back, there's no need. The old woman even took on a pleading tone.
Lu An suddenly felt a fire in his heart, and directly stuffed this in, "Old man, you keep this money, when does your son usually come?" ”
When the old woman heard Lu An's angry words, she was startled, immediately waved her hand, and then threw the money directly on the ground, and kept whispering in her mouth, "I don't want it, I don't want it, you don't want it." ”
After finishing speaking, he shrank directly to the side and hugged the bowl in his hand tightly.
Lu An wanted to continue, but the guy stopped Lu An directly, and then shook his head at Lu An, signaling not to continue.
Lu An picked up the money on the ground, thought about it and gave it to the guy, and said, "Blame the pitiful, you can help a little." ”
The guy thought for a moment and took the money, then nodded.
Lu An glanced at the old woman who was cowering in the corner, sighed, and left.
After returning to the inn, Lu An began to decoct Li Li.
When Lu An brought the medicine, Li Lizheng was wearing a thin coat, still holding a pen in his hand, and was writing hard.
"Sir, let you rest well, and still work hard here. Lu An said dissatisfiedly.
Li Li turned his head, revealing his sallow and thin face, hehe smiled, and replied with an embarrassed face: "I really can't stand it, it's uncomfortable to lie down, it's more comfortable to sit, I can't help but pick up the pen after sitting for a while, my brain is like a spring, I can't stop, haha." ”
Lu An glanced at him, shrugged his shoulders, and said with an angry face: "Okay, okay, you have the final say, just don't be tired when the time comes." ”
Li Li said yes again and again, but he coughed twice involuntarily.
"Don't drink the medicine yet. Lu An handed over the bowl in his hand.
"Thank you, son, hard work, for working hard for an old man like me. Li Li said as he drank the medicine.
"Well, Childe's decoction skills are getting better and better, and the taste is getting better and better. Li Li drank it and praised Lu An from time to time.
"This doesn't sound like a good thing, I hope this craft is still not good, the sooner you don't decoct this medicine, your body will be better sooner." Lu An snorted.
Li Li was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he also laughed, "What the son said is reasonable, reasonable, the old man is stupid." He slapped himself in the mouth as he spoke.
At this time, Wei Yang also ran over from the side and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?" ”
"What's the matter with you, don't go read a book soon, it's only a few days. Li Li looked at Wei Yang and said very upset.
"I've been watching it all day, my eyes are all over, and it's time to rest. Wei Yang muttered.
Lu An smiled, looked at Wei Yang and asked, "What do you want to do again, say it." ”
"Childe, how is the war going now?Is there any new news?" Wei Yang looked at Lu An with an excited expression.
Lu An replied directly: "I went out today, I didn't hear any new news, I guess it's still the same as before." ”
Wei Yang looked lost.
When Lu An and the three of them were in a hurry, they didn't know what was happening in the outside world, let alone that the three dynasties had already finished a battle.
So after rushing to the Eastern Capital, Wei Yang was quite interested in this matter, although he couldn't get out, but Lu An could, every time Lu An went out, he could hear some new news, and then tell Wei Yang about it, which was also regarded as a fun.
Originally, it was an excellent two-on-one situation for Da Zhou, who knew that the Shang and Zhou alliances would be so weak, on the eve of the war, Shang suddenly turned against the Han and fell to the big Han, and the original two-on-one situation suddenly became one against two.
The result can be imagined, Da Zhou, who lacked preliminary preparations, had almost no resistance and was directly defeated after the first battle.
More than half of the 100,000 troops died in the confrontation, and the remaining 30,000 remnants retreated from the border in disgrace, and even the two generals of the Great Zhou were seriously wounded and almost died in the battle.
This situation is also to make all the people of Dazhou stunned, although there are reasons for the defection of the big businessmen, but this instant defeat is too incredible, whether the other party is too strong, or their own side is too weak, or other problems, such as something internal.
For this reason, there have been many discussions during this time, and there are all kinds of theories, and Lu An is also having fun listening to it, of course, these are all information that is being transmitted from the outside world, false and real, not all of them are true, but one thing is certain, that is, Da Zhou lost very badly this time, and it was unprecedentedly miserable.
Although it was Shang's dishonesty that led to this defeat, there are still many people who don't think so, and they are more inclined to be the internal struggle of the Great Zhou that led to this defeat, and this reason spread among the people in an instant.
There are all kinds of rumors in Kyoto, and many people have been arrested.
For this, King Zhou was even more angry and ordered a strict investigation.
So the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty tossed a lot of ugly things, and there were countless dismissals, especially the faction headed by Yu Linwei, which was basically pushed from beginning to end by others, except for the main general Mo Hanhai, Yu Linwei was almost uprooted, and now there is an empty shell left.
This made everyone extremely surprised, because Yu Linwei was the one who did this in the past, and this time he was actually masturbated by someone else.
However, it is said that there is a reason, and for some reason, this matter was rumored by people after the defeat, that is, Lin Yu, the henchman of Wei Wei, the deputy general of Yulin Wei, betrayed and collaborated with the enemy, and leaked the deployment plan of the Great Zhou to the Han in advance, which led to this defeat.
What's more, some people think that this is a game made by Mo Hanhai, the master of Yulinwei, who wants to eliminate Wei Wei, who has a strong background and increasingly full-fledged wings, from Yulinwei, and plans to rebuild Yulinwei.
Anyway, rumors spread for a while, and I don't know which statement is true, but it is certain that Yu Linwei, who is in the strongest three battalions in the northern territory, is now unworthy of the name.
And as long as those people related to Yu Lin Wei basically all suffered, and then the rest of the people began to stand in line to save their lives, this uneasy mood also slowly spread, and the whole of Kyoto is now surging.
Chen Feng, the main general of the defeat this time, and Wang Gangfeng, the deputy general, were also directly imprisoned and personally escorted back to Kyoto by Liang Liang, the national teacher of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Liang Liang, who was thinking of getting some benefits, couldn't have imagined that before he arrived, the battle would be lost, and he was so angry that he couldn't wait to screw off the heads of these two people on the spot, if it weren't for the fact that the two were seriously injured, the two would have died long ago.
Lu An didn't expect that what he thought was a protracted war would end so quickly, and it was really like what Aunt Mei said, Da Zhou would be defeated, it was really a defeat, and it was a big defeat.
But one thing is good, and that is that the war has not spread.
After the Shanghan Alliance won, it didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but just withdrew after occupying what it wanted.
Therefore, apart from countless rumors and rumors, nothing else happened in the Great Zhou, or Lu An was not affected by this war, or he enjoyed the blessings of this war, and lived a very comfortable life in this eastern capital, and the expected danger was not encountered at all.
Lu An gradually began to feel that Aunt Mei's worries before were a bit exaggerated, and the current situation didn't seem to be as tense as Aunt Mei said.
Da Zhou only suffered a defeat, the so-called chaos is just a civil riot and shock, and although Kyoto is a little turbulent in the distance, it doesn't matter if it is for Lu An.
Moreover, as long as the king of Zhou is still there, no matter how chaotic he is, there will be no rebellion, how can a huge Zhou be in civil strife because of such a trivial matter? Obviously, it is impossible.
Besides, these things can't be related to Lu An anyway, if they want to mess up, then let them mess up internally, in this way, they won't notice Lu An.
Lu An knows a saying, that is, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
After Lu An figured it out, he was even more relaxed, he didn't agree with Xiaoyao Pavilion's judgment fundamentally, and he didn't have the slightest idea of sending the two of them to as soon as possible and then leaving directly, and even had the idea of wanting to hang around in Da Zhou again.
After Wei Yang heard so many new things, he became even more interested in this battle of the Three Dynasties, and Lu An changed his statement every day, which made him feel the story and listen to it with relish.
Of course, Li Li is too, every time Lu An talks about this, he up his ears and listens very carefully, and after Lu An finishes speaking, he will judge these news and point out the shortcomings of these news.
It really said it in a good way, which made Lu An surprised again, Li Li can always say one, two, three, four or five for the changes in the situation, from the affairs of the court to the people of Limin, which can be regarded as benefiting Lu An a lot.
However, I didn't hear any interesting gossip today, and Li Li and Wei Yang both felt a little lost.
Lu An couldn't help but feel funny when he looked at the expressions of these masters and apprentices, and could only say: "I didn't hear the news, but I saw something." ”
"Oh, what's the matter, Childe is so interested. Li Li asked curiously.
Immediately, Lu An told the old woman he met in the pharmacy to the two of them.
Li Li was silent all of a sudden, while Wei Yang was angry, and said angrily: "Son, you should kill this kind of person, filial piety comes first, and his son is so unfilial, he can kill him directly." ”
Seeing that Wei Yang's words were so serious, Lu An looked at Li Li and asked curiously, "Sir, what do you think?
Li Li pondered for a long time before nodding, and replied very seriously: "The grace of nurturing is higher than the sky, if a dynasty wants to develop well, then these basic principles must be strict, and they must act according to the law, otherwise this filial piety word will not become a shameful smile?"
Lu An felt very reasonable when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, "You should act according to the law." ”
