Chapter 146: An Unpleasant Banquet

At this moment, a horse came galloping.

The cavalry had three fiery red flags behind him, and the red ones seemed to be burning, but in the blink of an eye, he already felt under the city gate, and shouted to the guards at the city gate: "I have something important to report, and I ask the young marshal to take the order quickly!"

"Is it Li Zhen? Looking at him like this, could it be that the front line has failed?"

Lu Shikui's face changed instantly, and his constricted pupils revealed his fear.

Because Na Ashu led the army to come, so since early in the morning, Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan ordered Lu Shikui to lead the rest of the soldiers to garrison Xiangyang, and he personally led his soldiers to the north to try to fight a decisive battle with Ashu, so as to completely drive out this Ashu, so as not to fall into a siege in Xiangyang.

It was already noon, and it was not yet known what the situation was.

Now, Li Zhen rushed back to Xiangyang like this, which really scared him very much.

Turning sideways, Lu Shikui bowed to the two people beside him: "Two righteous soldiers, I was going to thank the two righteous men for saving their lives, but the military situation is urgent, can you allow me to leave?"

"Absolutely. ”

Liu Kezhuang's eyes turned slightly, but it fell on the herald, and he thought about it in his heart.

"This guy's name is Li Zhen? Maybe, we can start with this person?"

The reason why the two of them wanted to save Lu Shikui was not out of good intentions, but because they deliberately approached Lu Shikui through this method.

No matter how you say that Lu Shikui is also the son of Lu Wende, there is a natural relationship from the blood, if you can get some news from Lu Shikui, it will naturally be good.

Lu Shikui didn't know the reason, he only regarded the two as righteous soldiers who served the country and served in the army, so he ordered the guards to receive the two, and he jumped down from the roof and came to Li Zhen.

"Uncle Li, tell me what's going on at the front?"

Looking at Li Zhen in a daze, Lu Shikui's eyes were sad, as if he was afraid of the next news.

He also understands the situation in Xiangyang, but he is not the kind of brave and warlike person of the Huaxia Army, and if he fights against Mongolia, he will not have an advantage.

"Young Marshal Qiqi. For now, it's not very good. Li Zhen avoided his gaze, and his eyes showed embarrassment.

Lu Shikui felt his heart tighten violently, and muttered, "The situation is not very good? What does this mean?"

"This, judging from the battle situation before I left, this time I am only afraid that Chongguo will be more auspicious. The other party is Wuliangtai Ashu, and he got a strange weapon out of nowhere, even though Chongguo Gong is powerful, but he is still injured by that weird body. Li Zhen looked extremely nervous, obviously shocked by the battle situation.

"What?"

Lu Shikui suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he almost fainted.

From this alone, it can be seen that the Mongols came prepared, otherwise why would his father have been defeated so simply?

Li Zhen hurriedly comforted: "But don't worry about the young marshal." Although Chongguo Gong was injured, Na Ah Shu did not dodge, and he was also counterattacked. What's more, Chongguo Gong has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience, so he will definitely be able to be safe and sound. ”

"Maybe. But what did my father say?"

Lu Shikui barely managed to hold on to his body so that he would not fall to the ground.

My father's situation is unknown, if he makes a mistake, this Xiangyang will completely fall into the hands of the Mongols.

Li Zhen replied: "This." Chongguo Gong asked me to tell the young marshal that Xiangyang must be guarded well, and the Mongols must not be taken away. Also, the news must be transmitted to Lin'an, and it is necessary for Lin'an's people to send reinforcements, otherwise Xiangyang may be controlled by others. It's just that when Li Zhen said this, he was a little dissatisfied, and he wanted to stop talking.

However, Lu Shikui completely ignored it, and just muttered: "That's right." How can the Xiangyang army alone confront the Mongols, if so, then Lin'an must be notified. After that, he turned around and left, but he was going to return to the palace to write a letter so that he could ask Lin'an for help.

At the gate of the city, Li Zhen stood alone in place, and a few wisps of autumn wind blew, making him feel cold all over.

"Don't forget that Xiangyang is thousands of miles away from Lin'an, and it will take at least ten days and half a month to come and go. After the arrival of Lin'an reinforcements, I am afraid that this Xiangyang has already fallen. ”

Of course, these words were only in his heart, but he never said them.

For Li Zhen, it was his duty to pass on Lu Wende's orders, and as for the rest, he had no room to intervene.

"May I ask this, is it General Li Zhenli?"

was about to go to the barracks, but Li Zhen saw two people walking not far away, it was Huang Zhen and Liu Kezhuang.

Li Zhen looked at the two of them a little strangely and asked, "Who are you?"

"In Xia Liu Kezhuang/Huang Zhen, I have met General Li. Liu Kezhuang bowed his hand and saluted.

"Liu Kezhuang?Huang Zhen?" Li Zhen muttered for a while, feeling that the two names were quite unfamiliar: "I'm sorry I haven't heard of it, but what are you two looking for me?"

"The two of us were originally from Jiangnan, but because of the wanton raids of the Tartars we heard, we planned to put pen to paper from Rong in anger, so we left our hometown and came to this Xiangyang territory. Liu Kezhuang complained: "Earlier, I saw General Li's mighty body of riding alone for thousands of miles, going through thousands of dangers, and sending front-line intelligence back to Xiangyang, and under the admiration in my heart, I wanted to get acquainted with the general, I don't know what the general wants?"

"So that's it?"

Li Zhenton was happy, but he thought that there were still loyal martyrs in the Great Song Dynasty, so he didn't care.

"If the general doesn't dislike it, can you follow us to the drunken wind house and talk about it. How?" Huang Zhen also made his own request, Li Zhen's expression before Lu Shikui didn't notice it, but he didn't escape their gaze, of course he knew that Li Zhen was unhappy with this Lu father and son.

If they concentrate their efforts, they may be able to pull Li Zhen into the team and provide them with secrets about Lu Wende.

Li Zhen didn't care, because of the previous treatment, he was already depressed, and immediately smiled: "Of course you can." ”

So, the three of them walked together and walked to the drunken wind house in the distance.

It's just that as soon as he stepped into the city, Li Zhen saw that the road was messy, and he couldn't help but be speechless: "What's going on? Why did it become like this in less than a day?"

"Alas. Because when they heard that the Mongols were coming, the people in the city panicked and wanted to flee out of the city, but it was a pity that Master Lu was not talented enough and did not settle the people, but provoked everyone to storm the city gate together, which caused such a tragedy. Huang Zhen replied with a wry smile: "After this time, even if the Mongols are repulsed, it will take at least ten years to recover." It's a shame. ”

"yes, that's a pity. Liu Kezhuang also felt that his heart was very blocked.

In the face of this riot, if it were them, they would not know what to do, and the only thing they could do was to remain neutral and not be involved.

"That's it, let's go to the bar and ignore all this. Li Zhen waved his hand, probably too much, so he didn't care much.

"Yes. No matter how much we think about it, we can't change this. ”

Abandoning the distracting thoughts in their hearts, the three of them walked towards the Drunken Wind Residence together, but after they came to the Drunken Wind Residence, they saw that the door of the Drunken Wind House was closed, and even if the door was opened, there was no one inside.

"It seems that this boss has also fled. ”

No figure was found, and Huang Zhen replied helplessly.

Liu Kezhuang walked out of the kitchen in the back hall, carried two cans of wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "But he hasn't taken these wines away, but you can drink them freely." ”

"Humph!"

Li Zhen hammered the table, and his face was also covered with a layer of haze: "It's not that incompetent? Otherwise, how can you make it look like this?" As for who the person he mentioned was, Liu Kezhuang and Huang Zhen didn't delve into it, but they just sat down and began to drink stuffy wine.
