Chapter Ninety-Five: The Northwest Military Division

Wu Xiaofei: "Don't you think that all explanations are pale and powerless? You make a private life, and I will not forcibly take away people's love, I just want you to know that I have lived so much, and every day I spend my time on poetry, war, and swordsmanship, and I have no leisure." I met you in Yancheng that day, and we chatted happily, you don't know who I am, and I don't know who you are, but you can talk freely without any scruples. Later, through spies, I learned about your past, and I fell in love with you, but unfortunately all this is what I want. Since that time, I have been wholeheartedly assisting my father and never asking about Hongchen again. ”

Lu Yunli looked at Wu Xiaofei by candlelight, and saw that her face was firm, and it was a face condensed after a great sadness, as if there was nothing in this life that could make her sad again. Lu Yunli didn't want to see this, but what could he do about everything in the world. Then he said, "It's not early, you should go back and rest." ”

Wu Xiaofei got up, closed the door, and said, "With you tonight, I don't do anything, just snuggle up to each other." ”

Lu Yunli couldn't refuse, the two were lying on the bed, Wu Xiaofei hugged Lu Yunli and closed his eyes tightly. Lu Yunli felt that his neck was wet, and his heart was also uncomfortable.

Early the next morning, Lu Yunli got up and saw that Wu Xiaofei was no longer in the room, leaving only a note, which read: Everything in the world is not what you think, look at people to see the essence. I don't know if we can see each other again this time, I hope you will find the Qin Demon and grow old together. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. Dumbo.

Lu Yunli put the note into his arms, picked out a suit of clothes among the large piles of items, packed them in a package, and traveled lightly, when he went downstairs, he was stopped by the shopkeeper, handed Lu Yunli a batch of black horses, and a heavy bag of silver, and said: "Miss Wu asked me to hand it over to you, so that you can call on the road." Lu Yunli thanked him, and he was not polite, turned on his horse, and galloped out of the city. Wu Xiaofei watched from the teahouse opposite until he disappeared.

At first, Lu Yunli didn't understand the difference between heaven and hell that Xuan Qiwu said, but when he left the city, he saw that there was a world of difference. Needless to say, outside the city, there were countless displaced people, dressed in rags, and everyone was like beggars, hungry and skinny, and from time to time you could hear the sound of wailing and mourning.

Lu Yun was puzzled, saw an old man, and asked, "This gentleman, where did you come from, and why did you fall here?"

The old man looked at Lu Yunli and said: "We were originally from Jianchang Mansion, at the border between the King of Xiling and the King of the Southwest, five months ago, the King of Xiling and the King of the Southwest started a war for some reason, tens of thousands of soldiers fought at the border, and our hometown was also implicated, the people were miserable, and the people were not able to make a living. When we heard that the people of the land ruled by the king of the northwest lived in peace and contentment, and lived in abundance, we had no choice but to flee here, but we were locked up outside the city, and gave us some porridge every evening. ”

Lu Yunli couldn't say anything, took out a piece of steamed bun in the package, originally prepared it for himself to eat on the way, and handed it to the old man. The old man held the white-flour steamed bun and said "thank you" in his mouth. Unexpectedly, he was seen by the surrounding escapees and flocked to his side.

Fortunately, Lu Yunli reacted quickly, jumped out of the crowd on his horse, and did not stop for a moment, running a hundred miles before gradually slowing down. There is an intersection ahead, one to the southwest, and one road to the east. Lu Yunli stood at this fork in the road for a long time, and galloped towards the southwest.

Within a day, I saw countless displaced people on the roadside. After inquiring all the way, I learned that the King of the Southwest had destroyed the King of Xiling, occupied the entire territory of the King of Xiling and the remaining soldiers, and doubled the sphere of influence. During the war, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, the city was slaughtered many times, and the people in the territory of the King of Xiling were all abandoned and left. The king of Xiling is incompetent, the so-called soldier is beary, and he will be in a nest, and he will be defeated by the king of the southwest with one blow, and he has no power to resist. Only Qiongbu and Jiading held out for four months, and finally there was not a grain of grain in the city and they were defeated. In the chaos of the army, Yongken, the king of Xiling, was beheaded by someone who came from an unknown source, and all the children died tragically under the butcher's knife.

Lu Yunli continued to move against the current, at first there were more and more displaced people, and after a few days, there were fewer and fewer people. On the way, there were also homeless people who tried to grab Lu Yunli's horses, but they were all repelled by Lu Yunli with the back of a knife.

On the ninth day, Lu Yun left the periphery of the camp of the main army of the king of the southwest, lay on a high place to observe, and saw that the army was neat and set up camp. Many military tents were erected, and one of them was a wide tent seven or eight zhang wide that was the most conspicuous, and Lu Yunli believed that this must be where Chen Xing, the king of the southwest, was. Once you've locked on to your target, tie your horse to a leash. Step by step, they approached the barracks and looked for the lone patrol soldiers.

In a short time, he caught two, knocked them unconscious with the back of his knife, and dragged them into the jungle. Hands and feet are nimble and undetected. They tied them to a tree, and one of them put rags in his mouth and ears, and splashed water on him to wake him up. The two soldiers looked at Lu Yunli, and the man who was not gagged begged for mercy. The one that was gagged was also screaming "woo".

Lu Yunli said: "Whatever I say, you can answer, the ear of the person next to you is blocked, you can't hear, I will ask him the same question after I ask, if the two of you answer differently, I will cut off your limbs, so that you can not survive and die." ”

The soldier's face turned white with fright, and he said, "A good man spares his life, I promise to know everything." ”

Lu Yunli: "How many people are in this army? Who is leading the team? Who is in the big tent in the middle? Have you ever seen a woman in the army with a pair of pianos on her back?" ”

The soldier said: "If you go back to the heroes, there are 50,000 people in the army, and it is the main force of the king of the southwest, and it is Chen Xing, the king of the southwest, who leads the team. That big tent was prepared for Lord Chen, and he was the only one in it. I didn't see the woman carrying the piano, there was only one woman in the army, about twenty years old, good-looking, always with the military advisor. ”

Lu Yunli asked, "What's the name of that military advisor?"

Soldier: "I don't know the name, I only know that the surname is Lu, and the woman is father and daughter." Since the beginning of the war, the two have always given advice to Lord Chen, and sometimes the military advisor is no longer there, and the woman is the one who gives advice. That woman is really strategic, conquering the city, and making a lot of mechanical equipment, which is very powerful. ”

Lu Yunli: "Is the military advisor surnamed Lu still in the army?"

Soldier: "I didn't see it today, I only saw the woman, at the west end of the barracks, the military tent was larger than that of ordinary soldiers, and there were female soldiers guarding all sides." ”

Lu Yunli took out the rags, plugged the soldier's mouth and ears, took off the other soldier's mouth and ear rags, asked the same question, and the answer was almost the same. He stuffed the rags back again, knocked out the soldier who was about the same size as himself, changed into the uniform of the Southwest Army, and adjusted the belt of the sword more loosely, slightly downward, and carried it behind him so that it should not be found. Lowering the brim of his military hat, he walked alone to the big tent of the female military division on the west side of the barracks.

Fortunately, his clothes were sentry uniforms, and he could enter and leave the barracks without restrictions, and no one interrogated him all the way, until he was in front of the military tent guarded by female soldiers all around. Before he walked in, he was targeted by the group of female soldiers, looking at Lu Yunli like a thief. Lu Yunli also knew that this military camp was full of men, and the occasional appearance of some women was very fresh, even if he looked at it, it was very comfortable.

Lu Yunli walked over unhurriedly, and was stopped by a female soldier wearing armor and a sword at her waist, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yunli: "I am passing on General Chen's words, and I want to say it to Mr. Lu in person." ”

The female soldier looked Lu Yunli up and down, and when she saw that there was nothing unusual about him, she brought him into the tent. Lu Yunli followed him in, he raised his head slightly, and when he saw it, the woman sitting in it was Lu Bo.

Seeing that this person kept his head down, the brim of his hat was pressed low, and he deliberately did not let people see his face, he was suspicious, and secretly held the sword in his hand, and asked, "What did General Chen ask you to bring?" ”

Lu Yunli: "General Chen explained, I have to say this to you alone." ”

Lu Bo secretly buttoned his sword in both hands, and said to the female soldier, "Go out." The female soldier gave a military salute and turned to go out. Lu Bo: "Say it." ”

Lu Yunli stood up straight and took off his military hat. Lu Bo was surprised, and he cried out with an "ah". The female soldiers outside immediately rushed in and surrounded Lu Yunli in the middle. Lu Bo: "You all go down, don't come in without my message." Don't talk about it to anyone. The women saluted and withdrew.

When Lu Bo saw that everyone was going out, he immediately ran to Lu Yunli's side, smiling, completely different from the majesty just now. He asked, "Since you don't die in a big disaster, why don't you come to me at Qianjimen?" Do you know, I thought you were dead, and I cried darkly. If I hadn't had to go back to report the news, I would have jumped with you a long time ago. ”

Lu Yunli sighed softly and said, "The cliff is bottomless, but fortunately, there is a lot of snow so that you don't fall to your death." Even if he didn't fall to his death, he couldn't find food at the bottom of the cliff, but fortunately, he barely survived by falling two military horses together. ”

Lu Bo stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Lu Yunli's waist, pressed his cheek against his chest, and said softly: "The most important thing is that you are okay, we will never be separated in the future." ”

Lu Yunli gently pushed Lu Bo away, and said solemnly: "I'm just here to ask you, why did Master collude with the King of the Southwest to set off a chaotic world?"

Lu Bo hesitated for a moment, but still said: "My father met Chen Xing, the king of the southwest, many years ago, when Chen Xing was still the prince and did not take over the position of the vassal king. As for the war, my father did not start it, he just played a role in fueling the flames. What's more, at this time, the world has begun to be in turmoil, and the king of Tanglin began to march to Yinshan with 100,000 elite soldiers. According to the report of the Southwest King's informant, the twelve rings of the Tanglin King have been collected, and the map has been prepared. ”

Lu Yunli: "Why do you want to enter Yinshan?"

Lu Bo: "The twelve rings are of different shapes, each set in a special iron tube, coated with ink, and rolled around on the white paper to create a map of the treasure. Now that the rings have been collected, the map shows that the treasure is on top of Yin Mountain. ”

Lu Yunli: "Yinshan belongs to the territory of the King of Beiling, the King of Beiling and the King of Dongling belong to the same group in terms of government affairs, and you are traveling a long distance, how can you defeat them?"

Lu Bo: "We have our own tricks. ”
