One hundred and thirty-four, the line of fire promotion
The blacksmith seemed to notice that Chen Lu was looking at his iron chain, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency likes this chain?
Chen Lu couldn't push it, said thank you, got on the horse and left, weighing the iron chain in his hand. If this chain is gold, you can also wear it around your neck to boast to people that you are rich, that you have a mine at home, or if you accidentally pout the dog's head gold, you can use it to deceive the little girl.
But it's just an iron one, and it's used to tie a horse? This person is crazy, and he can't even leash a dog! Chen Lu casually threw it on the ground.
Chen Lu rode forward a few steps on his horse and found a problem, this is the place where the mission has just crossed the river. No, why didn't there be this blacksmith shop at that time? There were no people in this radius for dozens of miles, who did he make iron for? He was also by the river, why wasn't he washed down by the flood?
Chen Lu suddenly realized how stupid he was. When he hurriedly looked back, there was no fire, where was there any blacksmith shop? Chen Lu hurriedly went back to look for the iron chain, and saw a glimmer of light on the ground, and the iron chain was still lying there quietly.
He dismounted, carefully picked up the iron chain, flicked it into the air, and said, "My old man's reputation is indeed not small, I don't know which immortal chief I have alarmed, thank you." ”
It was already dawn, and Chen Lu found that the officers and soldiers of the mission were looking for something along the river, they must be looking for the missing person, Ha San and Nalan were there. Chen Lu shouted, and Ha San and they ran over.
Nalan had already told Ha San about the process of being rescued in the water, and Ha San really looked up to his chief and brother, and he didn't know what else Chen Lu had that he didn't know.
When Nalan saw Chen Lu, he was happy and sad, thinking that the two angels and his own soldiers were swept away by the flood, and cried again. Chen Lu saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and knew that she had been crying for a long time. A woman's name is weak, and a woman is a sensual animal. Such a strong woman who does not let her eyebrows shave her eyebrows is also washed with tears at this time.
Chen Lu said: "Miss Nalan, you are a bright girl, crying is not your character. Everyone's cheer up, let's find a way to save people. ”
Ha San said: "What the Lord said is true, but the angel was washed away by the flood, even if he can swim, there is no chance of survival, let's look for a few days here." If we can't find it, we'll have to make another plan. ”
Ha San and Nalan are not pessimists, and under normal circumstances, difficulties do not overwhelm them. Everyone knows that in this case, the possibility of survival is extremely slim.
Nalan added: "Fortunately, the carriage of the two angels escaped, and the envoy did not forget to hit the horse a few times at the moment of falling into the water, so that the carriage was not washed away. The bag is made of oilcloth and will not get wet, and it can also be used if the scepter is repaired again. ”
Chen Lu understood that the two had already discussed it and were preparing for the worst. Chen Lu also thought about it, once the two angels were killed, the great cause of the westward journey could not collapse in the middle of the road, and his old man must take on this heavy responsibility.
The soldiers were scattered, and they searched for nearly twenty miles on both sides of the river, but they did not see anyone alive or dead, and only two horses were found. Everyone searched for another afternoon, but found nothing, and everyone returned to the camp, and they were basically desperate.
Chen Lu returned to the camp and saw that there was no fence at all, and some things were placed on the ground in disorder. The original battalion had been washed clean, but fortunately the camp was moved early, otherwise the whole army would have been wiped out.
Chen Lu decided to go downstream to find the angel alone. He had a hunch that the angels were still alive. In fact, he has a basis, that is, the blacksmith's phrase "Beihai", which he thinks is igniting him. He was planning that if he couldn't come back, Ha San would go to Harlie by order.
However, how could he lead this mission? How could he deal with the local government on the road? How could he convince the family when he arrived in Harie? He knew that he had to make a decision immediately.
When he walked back, he discussed with Ha San, with Long Gang as his deputy, and Ha San promoted to the commander of the guard, temporarily as the governor of the embassy guards; Long Gang was the secretary of the mission guards, and in Ha San's absence, Long Gang was fully responsible for the deployment of the mission.
For this position, Ha San has doubts. The commander is the second marshal above the Wei Division, and he is the fourth grade, and he is still far from that level.
He told Chen Lu about his doubts, and Chen Lu said: "I can't take care of these things now, this is the promotion of the line of fire." It's also a helpless move. This is not to let you get promoted and get rich, but to let you plug the gun's hole. If you can return to Jingshi, you will be the commander of Wei. ”
Chen Lu gathered the officers and soldiers together to give a lecture, and after announcing it in public, together with Ha San, Nalan, and Long Gang, he explained his plan again, and everyone knew why they were promoted in the line of fire.
He's arranging the aftermath, Tuogu. Everyone felt the tragedy of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return".
Chen Lu asked the mission to set up a large camp here first, and it would not be a problem for the food to last for ten days or eight days.
After hearing this, Ha San didn't do it, he had to follow Chen Lu, otherwise he wouldn't let Chen Lu go. Chen Lu had no choice but to entrust all this to Long Gang again, and asked Hu Chun to explain it again. He also specifically instructed Nalan to wait for them for two days, and if they couldn't come back on time, Nalan would protect Long Gang and Hu Chun as the chief and deputy envoys to the west.
Ha San taught Granny Xian's spell to Nalan, he knew that he was sorry for Granny Xian, but he had to deal with it very much in extraordinary times, and he was in a hurry. Chen Lu patted Da Qingma: "Brother Dog, take care of the camp for me, what is there to help Miss Nalan." ”
Everyone saw him chattering, calling a horse a dog, and calling him a brother, but fortunately they were all used to it. It's strange that he's not like that. Chen Lu shouted Ha San, and the two set off.
The two walked towards the river, and Ha San had questions, embarrassed to keep asking. Chen Lu understood what he meant, and simply told the truth, feeling that the angel had been kidnapped, and his life was not in danger, and he briefly told what happened at night, but omitted the matter of the iron chain.
Ha San nodded yes, they had been looking for a long time, and they had never seen a blacksmith shop here. If the two angels are not saved, why are there still people here to get a blacksmith shop? There is no need to reignite Lord Chen.
Hope rose in Ha San's heart again, and said: "Ha Sanwei's eldest brother is the first to look forward. ”
Saying that the two of them went into the water, Chen Lu used the "Ten Heavenly Steps of the Universe" sevenfold, only to see the water separate on both sides, and the two of them ran forward, as fast as lightning, and walked to the dark blue high walls on both sides, getting higher and higher.
The two of them clearly heard the waves and the sound of the tsunami, the faint rays of the turtles, and the whirring of the wind. They closed their eyes and went with the flow, and after some time, they stopped and could no longer see the dark blue walls on either side.
The two of them felt as if they were back in the land country, the gray sky, the universe was chaotic, and they couldn't tell which was the sky and which was the earth. There are also a lot of pedestrians coming and going here, all of them are bent over, almost ninety degrees bent, and there is a shiny thing on their backs, Chen Lu can't help but want to laugh, it's all like this, is it to Luo Guo's hometown.
One person stopped Chen Lu and the others, Chen Lu saw that he was wearing red clothes, and his red hair was pouting towards the sky, but he was not Luo Guo, he straightened up.
