Chapter 4: Uncle's News

Lu Tingzhi said: "I heard that some of them were sent to them to open up wasteland. The Han people know how to farm, while the Tibetan people are only good at nomadic herding, and they have to consult the Han people for agricultural work. At the moment, he talked about several relatively large-scale places for reclaiming wasteland, and Li Qingxuan kept it in mind.

Lu Tingzhi said: "There are also some who have a skill, and they have become craftsmen and other errands. There were also a few people who were recruited to become petty officials under Trisong Detsen's account. Speaking of this, Lu Tingzhi thought for a while, and suddenly said, "What is the name of the honored relative?"

Li Qingxuan because his uncle was not a famous person, mixed in a large number of captives, and his uncle's name, presumably Lu Tingzhi, who came from Jiangnan, would not know, so he never said it.

At this time, Lu Tingzhi asked, and thought to himself: "It's okay to give it a try, if you don't leave, he has heard someone talk about my uncle." So he said the name "Zheng Yu", and was afraid that Lu Tingzhi would not hear it clearly, so he picked up chopsticks and wrote three gongbi books on the ground.

Lu Tingzhi looked down and thought for a while, but then asked, "Is the respected relative Zheng Yu, who was once the Sima of Fufeng County?" Li Qingxuan nodded in surprise and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you have any news about my uncle?"

Lu Tingzhi said: "Yes, my relatives were rescued by the people of the Eagle Claw Gate a month ago, and they have escaped from Tubo and have now returned to the territory of Datang. Li Qingxuan was very happy, and secretly said in his heart: "My uncle has been an official for many years, and he has little contact with people in the rivers and lakes, so I don't know who saved him?"

Lu Tingzhi seemed to see what Li Qingxuan was thinking, and continued: "Liu Qingshan, the head of the Eagle Claw Gate, was honored and favored by his relatives in his early years, so this time by chance, he rescued his relatives, and you can go to the Eagle Claw Gate in Wuxi County, Jinling County to investigate." ”

Li Qingxuan got up and bowed deeply to Lu Tingzhi, and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your guidance, I am very grateful." Lu Tingzhi smiled slightly: "Helping each other in times of adversity, my generation should do what chivalry should do, Shang Ruoxian's nephew will not stand idly by when he encounters this matter, right?"

"Sir, my teacher tried to teach me to help when I saw injustice, and of course my little nephew would not stand idly by when he encountered difficulties. The two talked again, and Li Qingxuan was sleepy and yawned unconsciously.

Lu Tingzhi said: "You have been running around for days, and you have fought again, your body is sleepy, and it is time to rest." You go to sleep first, I'll go out and have a look. Li Qingxuan then remembered that Lu Qingqing had been out for a long time. Lu Tingzhi went out to look for his daughter, and only Li Qingxuan was left in the tent.

Li Qingxuan was very sleepy, but because she didn't see Lu Qingqing come back, she couldn't help worrying about her, so she couldn't sleep. "Could it be that she suffered an accident?" "She is Mr. Lu's daughter, and her martial arts must be very good, even if she encounters that accident, it doesn't hurt to think about it." ”

"Lu Qingqing, she has a beautiful face and good martial arts, and she is a good match for me, does she like me?"

After about half an hour, I gradually heard footsteps coming from far and near, and after a while, I only heard the voices of the Lu family's father and daughter outside, they were talking about returning to the Central Plains tomorrow. After a while, Lu Tingzhi's father and daughter walked into the tent.

Lu Tingzhi coughed and said, "Nephew Li, are you asleep?" Li Qingxuan was "a thief with a weak heart", and originally wanted to pretend to be asleep, for fear that he would not be used to hypocrisy, so he finally answered, thinking that he had just woken up.

He was originally sleepy, Lu Tingzhi was holding a torch in his hand, and under the firelight, he saw that he opened his hazy eyes, and it was indeed as if he had just woken up. Lu Tingzhi put his mind at ease and thought, "As soon as we set foot on this mound, stop talking about that matter. Even if he wasn't asleep, he wouldn't hear it from such a distance. ”

What Lu Tingzhi was thinking about was the matter of folding the iron sword that he had just discussed with his daughter Lu Qingqing, the folding iron sword was a magic weapon left by the famous generals of the Southern Dynasty, containing martial arts secrets, Lu Tingzhi's visit to Guazhou this time, one of the things was this matter.

Lu Qingqing complained: "Dad, you shouldn't wake up Brother Li, he slept soundly." As he spoke, he put down the pouch of water. Li Qingxuan said: "Miss Lu, you have already come back from fetching water? ”

Lu Qingqing said: "I should have come back a long time ago, but because I found two people passing by, I watched their whereabouts." Li Qingxuan said: "Who is it?"

Lu Qingqing said: "I don't know if it's a friend or an enemy, it's a good achievement, and it seems to pass in the desert." I faintly heard one of them mention the word 'delphin'. Lu Tingzhi said: "Maybe it's Yan Wuxi's friend, but it's a pity that you didn't stop him." ”

Lu Tingzhi had heard this matter from his daughter earlier, but because he had other things on his mind, he wanted to discuss it with his daughter, so he didn't add details at that time. Lu Qingqing said: "Those two people are running fast, how can I catch up with them? However, although I can't see their appearance clearly, I can also vaguely distinguish them, they are a man and a woman." ”

Lu Qingqing learned the best light skills, although he was not as good as his father, he was already rare in the rivers and lakes. Lu Tingzhi heard what his daughter said, and thought to himself: "This girl has rarely admired people. In this way, those two people are really martial arts masters. "I was a little suspicious.

Li Qingxuan sighed and said, "I thought that the lama had invited a helper to come back to seek revenge." If it's someone who doesn't have to do with it, then let him go. Lu Qingqing said: "I didn't know who they were, so I had to hide for the time being and watch their whereabouts." Later, I saw that they were not running in the direction of our camp, which was reassuring. Soon, Daddy arrived. ”

Li Qingxuan thought: "She is afraid that if I fall asleep, those two people will come to sneak attack." Very grateful, the three of them said a few more words, and then Li Qingxuan was relieved, and soon he really fell asleep.

I slept soundly and sweetly, and in my dream, I seemed to follow the father and daughter of the Lu family to the south of the Yangtze River, where the mountains and rivers were soft, and frolicked in that fairyland-like place. Suddenly, Lu Qingqing changed his face and ignored him, and ran into the woods like the wind. Li Qingxuan shouted: "Miss Lu, Miss Lu, wait for me!"

Suddenly, Lu Tingzhi punched him in the chest, "What are you chasing my daughter for?" Li Qingxuan felt a pain in his chest, and suddenly woke up. When I opened my eyes, I couldn't help but be surprised that Lu Tingzhi's father and daughter were gone. Not only was no one gone, but there was no tabernacle. He slept on an open grass with a cow blanket over him.

The dream is vaguely memorable, "Am I still not in a dream?" Li Qingxuan thought to himself. But he tried to bite his finger, and it hurt, and it was certainly not a dream. Li Qingxuan calmed down and looked around, Lu Tingzhi's father and daughter's things had been taken away, including the three flying swallow darts, leaving only the golden beads, the "Taiyi Sword Technique" and a leather bag filled with water.

Li Qingxuan was puzzled in his heart: "Why don't they wait for me to wake up and leave?" He knew that Lu Tingzhi's father and daughter were going to return to the Central Plains and would break up sooner or later. But such a farewell is too unkind!

Looking further away, Li Qingxuan found that his "Yizhangqing" was tied to a tree, and his mount also found its owner, and hissed. Li Qingxuan smiled and said, "You have drunk enough water, you are full, and your spirit has recovered!" walked to untie the mount, and suddenly found two lines of words written on the ground, Li Qingxuan looked at it, but was stunned.

One of the lines, eight big characters written, "The rivers and lakes are far away, and you cherish them." "The iron hairpin hook is strong and powerful, presumably drawn by Lu Tingzhi on the sand with the tip of his sword. There is another line of small words next to it: "I hate to see you late, I have promised others in this life, and I hope to forget about you in the rivers and lakes." "The calligraphy is beautiful, the pen is soft, and at a glance you know that it is written by a woman. Needless to say, of course, it was written by Lu Qingqing.

Li Qingxuan was stunned, as if struck by lightning, he looked at these two lines of words, he almost couldn't believe his eyes, his eyes were confused, black, and the twenty-eight big and small characters seemed to be connected into a large dark cloud, pressing on his heart, making him like falling into the clouds!

It took Li Qingxuan to come to his senses after a while, and then he realized that Lu Qingqing was already someone else's fiancΓ©e, and he was still delusional before, wanting to marry Lu Qingqing as his wife! It turned out that everything was fate! "Why? Why? Why?" A series of things were difficult for Li Qingxuan to explain.

However, there is also a place where Li Qingxuan is enough to comfort herself, that is, Lu Qingqing still regards him as a good friend, and now she has left him a bag of water, water, which is worthless in other places, is the most precious gift in the desert, it is the water of life!

He read the line of words that Lu Qingqing left him again, and secretly swore to her in his heart: "Miss Lu, don't worry, how can I live up to the kindness you gave me this gift? ”

He took a big sip of water, and the sweet spring was sweet in his heart, and the troubles in his heart seemed to be washed away by the sweet spring. Li Qingxuan rested for the night, and his energy had recovered, so he stepped on his mount and headed east. In less than half a day, I walked out of this big Gobi.

It turned out that the place where Lu Tingzhi's father and daughter camped was to choose a place with water and grass nearby, which was already close to the edge of the Gobi. Out of the desert is another scene, looking from afar, a golden wheat field, endless to the horizon. Li Qingxuan slapped Yizhangqing's horse's buttocks, Yizhangqing chirped, and his four hooves galloped towards the east, riding in the dust!
