One hundred and six, the princess who sells melons
At this time, Ha San sent someone to report and asked Lord Chen to hurry back to the camp, and someone was looking for Lord Chen. Chen Lu asked Han Liu'er to reward Kong Zhen and led the team back to the camp with the envoy.
Several people entered the Zhongjun tent, and an old woman sat there, watching the three officials come in, she did not panic, slowly and methodically said a thousand blessings, and sat down calmly without waiting for others to speak.
Before entering the tent, Chen Lu noticed that there was a person outside leading two horses, the horse leader was wearing heavy armor, and he was a military general, so it seemed that he was with this old woman, this was a companion, so this old woman was not an ordinary person.
Chen Lu looked at the old woman, dressed as a Han in the Central Plains, sitting there silently, expressionless, Chen Lu understood that there must be a reason here.
Li Da scolded Xizi: "There are guests coming, why don't you serve tea?"
The old woman spoke: "Don't blame the subordinates, the poor woman is an old woman in the country, what is it worth?
Li Da listened to her speak a pure Central Plains official dialect, and suddenly had a good impression, and said: "Don't dare to ask the guest's surname Gao, what do you have to teach us?"
"The poor woman Wang has made a living selling melons all her life. I took the liberty to visit today because I have a saying with Master Chen. ”
Chen Lu saw that her language was good, her demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, and she had a high-spirited companion, knowing that she was by no means an ordinary person, and she also knew that she was not good.
He stood up, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "I have seen Madame, my old man is Chen Zicheng." I really didn't expect my fame to spread so far to the Western Regions. Needless to say, the one outside is also a fan of mine, and it may be the paparazzi. ”
When the Wang family heard this, they couldn't help but smile, and said something that Chen Lu heard the cocoon in his ears: "Sure enough, the rumors are true." Lord Chen, the children in the family are not sensible, and they offended the adult Huwei. ”
Chen Lu somewhat understood that the Wang family, another melon seller, had just dealt with those melon ghosts, and this was no accident, so he asked tentatively: "It is said that the old lady is the best at selling melons, and she blows her own melons to the sky." But my old man doesn't understand, no matter how good your melon is, it won't be when the melon is ripe, it will be the melon seedling, and it's useless for me to ask him. You're the best melon salesman, you're going to hit a nail in my old man's house. ”
Wang said: "Lord Chen is really smart, I don't need to say more, no one said that you stole it." To tell the truth, if it were a few melons, the poor woman would never chase them here, but the melons could not be separated from the seedlings, and the treasure of the town garden in the melon world could not be less, please give it back to the adults. ”
Chen Lumen's Qing, since she can come to the door, she must have nothing to fear, but she has suffered a lot of losses in this aspect, she just understated it and passed it off.
Chen Lu only felt that the fire was hitting upwards, and said in a deep voice: "The old lady only saw her own losses, do you know our losses?" Besides, who can prove that this thing is yours?"
Wang's face also changed: "The poor woman knows that you Chen Zicheng has some means, so she asks you a word, to give it or not to give it?"
Li Xian found that the more the two of them talked, the more stiff they became, and he quickly stood up and said: "This old lady, we are from the Celestial Empire, and we have never dared to bully people with power. What you said must not be with us, please look elsewhere, forgive us for not accompanying you. Kiko, send-off. ”
Kiko came over and said, "Old lady, please." ”
Wang stood up, blessed the two angels, and glanced at Chen Lu meaningfully. Chen Lu looked at her with a murderous look in his eyes, and nodded with a smile that didn't care. After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.
Li Da saw the problem and said, "Lord Zicheng, we all know you, you seem to be rude in words and perverse in behavior, but in fact, you are quite disciplined in doing all kinds of errands. We're in an eventful time now, so don't make enemies everywhere. ”
Chen Lu's face flushed, and he also felt that he was a little arrogant, unlike an old adult, it was not good to hide it, so he had to briefly tell what had happened.
Li Xian said angrily: "Master Chen is doing no problem, this poor woman, why don't you tie us up with this thing?"
Li Da said: "I see, Lord Zicheng did the right thing. Our Celestial Empire is mighty, and we can't fall into the spirit. How can we be so aggressive that we don't apologize and not apologize?
Chen Lu saw that several people had unified their thoughts, but he was embarrassed, and said, "I'm really not coveting him for any magic breaking weapon. First, we can't be sure if it's hers, she's red-mouthed and white-toothed, and she has no evidence, just come to someone, and we'll give it to her, how can it be? The other is her attitude, everything has become her reason, they have all become victims, my old man has become an aggressor, a thief. ”
Chen Lu ignored everyone's surprised eyes, and then said: "Why should I give it to her? If you have the ability, you can take it back, and you can't be humiliated." Besides, I, Chen Zicheng, am not easy to mess with. ”
This is actually complaining, a moment of anger, the old mistake is committed again, in front of the two chiefs, running mules and horses with their mouths, fortunately, the two have long been used to it.
Li Da suddenly ordered: "Pass my order, pull out!"
Li Xian was stunned for a moment, nodded and said yes, he originally planned to do so, and he didn't even set up a fence. At this time, it was already the right time, and all the way along the way, it was all official roads, which were almost the same as those in the Central Plains.
When it was time to get up on the watch, they walked more than a hundred miles, camped by a small river, carried torches to get water for cooking, cut down fences, and fed the horses to camp.
Li Da called Wenda over and asked him to put talismans on the fence and the tabernacle. Wen Da walked into the big tent, didn't care about the other two adults, and gave Chen Lu a look first, so panicked that Chen Lu hurriedly returned the salute and said, "General Wen, kill my old man." Sorry, the two Masters Li are over there. ”
In fact, Chen Lu understood in his heart, and Wenda didn't explain it, so everyone tacitly understood it. Chen Lu saw that Li Da still wanted to use Wenda, and one day Li Da said a word and let Wenda be Hasan's deputy. Chen Lu usually doesn't have a good impression of Wenda, but this time, Chen Lu even dislikes him and despises him.
Chen Lu is different from those two adults, he doesn't have to think about anything else, he has no worries, he has no future, before he died, he wrote a letter to his family, and returned to his hometown in Jiangyou Province, away from the land of right and wrong in Beijing.
And Li Da and they must think about their own future, Chen Lu understands them very well, so usually in this matter, as long as it does not violate the principle, he usually does not express his opinion.
On the second watch day, everyone had eaten, the lights out had just sounded, and a team of men and horses surrounded the camp outside. Ha San had already found out that they were wearing the military uniforms of previous dynasties, even the armor, he looked at the air carefully, and it was gray, knowing that it was something weird, and sent someone to tell Nalan and Chen Lu.
In fact, Chen Lu knew in his heart that the princess would not stop there, he stopped arranging, arranged the defense of the Chinese army's account, and walked out with Han Liu'er.
He had already seen that the soldiers outside were gathering towards the gate of the camp, he understood that this was not an army from the mortal world, they could not pass the path, he had already seen a number of red lines swimming over the camp, and he had a bottom in his heart, and walked towards the gate of the camp. Hasan was there on full alert.
