Chapter 12 Long-lost family affection
After Tian Zihua finished speaking, he didn't wait for the two to reply, and hurriedly walked into the house to find King Beiling. Lu Yunli and Hua Feihua both felt that there must be something very important. The two made an appointment to meet at the rockery an hour later, and each went back to change clothes and wash up. Hua Feihua arrived a little late, dressed in new clothes, and the bandaging of her arms was not very obvious.
Hua Feihua led the way, and the two went to Tian Zihua's house together, Tian Zihua's home was in a small house not far from the north gate of the palace, the stone house was not big, and only Tian Zihua and his wife Yu lived there.
Yu had already prepared a few dishes on the table, but Tian Zihua hadn't come back yet, so the two washed their hands and stepped forward to help. It can be seen that the Yu family is very good to Hua Feihua, and Hua Feihua is often invited by the Yu family to come to the house for dinner, sew clothes for him, and treat him like his own son. Hua Feihua also found a long-lost feeling of home here, often going to the market to buy some clothes and pastries or hunt some game to eat with Tian Zihua and the old couple, like a family of three.
Hua Feihua bandaged the wound very carefully, just to prevent Yu from discovering it, and she was worried about blaming.
The two helped Yu Shi work for a while, and the five dishes were served one after another, all of which were home-cooked and unpretentious. Braised carp, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork ribs and beans, cucumber cold vegetables, stir-fried shredded potatoes, the fragrance fills the whole room. The three of them waited for Tian Zihua, and when they saw that he had not returned for a long time, Yu: "Let's eat first, don't wait for the old man, I don't know what important things to talk about, and I won't wait until dawn for him." After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a large piece of chicken for Hua Feihua, and then sandwiched a large piece of chicken for Lu Yunli, and then ate it himself.
In this cabin, Hua Feihua and Lu Yunli can both feel a strong sense of family affection and home, which is a long-lost feeling and what the two of them lack the most. There is no falsehood here, as if we were all dear to each other. Lu Yunli and Hua Feihua both know that this feeling is very rare, cherish and enjoy this feeling, and the Yu family is also enjoying this feeling.
The three of them ate very slowly, they were waiting for Tian Zihua, chatting while eating, Yu saw that Lu Yunli was a little restrained, and kept serving him vegetables. After a long time, the dishes were already cold, and Tian Zihua came back, his face was full of gloom.
Lu Yunli and Hua Feihua didn't dare to ask, only Yu said: "What can still make my family's resourceful Mr. Tian worry? I'll go and heat the dishes, no matter what I eat in advance, and I'll talk about it after eating." As he spoke, he reheated the chicken and fish in the pot.
Tian Zihua opened his mouth and said: "The prince's spies heard that the northwest warlord Wu Tian appeared in Yancheng, I don't know what the intention is, this matter makes the prince restless, Wu Tian has 300,000 mercenaries, and there are thousands of generals under him, and he has already had the heart to replace the son of heaven in Jincheng." ”
Hua Feihua asked: "Don't you want to target the Son of Jincheng?"
Tian Zihua: "I also have this kind of conjecture, and suggested that the prince give a secret letter to the Son of Heaven in Jincheng and ask him to return to Jincheng quickly." However, the prince was worried that if he did this, he would never be able to raise his head in front of Jincheng Tianzi and other princes and ministers in the future. It will be said that he can't even do a thing to protect himself. ”
Hua Feihua: "What does the prince mean?"
Tian Zihua: "The prince wants to keep the original plan unchanged and strengthen the guards along the way, if something goes wrong this time, the position of the king of Beiling should not be stable." ”
Hua Feihua: "Wouldn't this be used to protect the entire army?"
Tian Zihua: "The Son of Heaven of Jincheng brought five hundred Golden Janissaries with his closest cronies, and also brought 100,000 elite soldiers and the great general Lan Ji. I think that if he is really attacked by Wu Tian along the way, it will be difficult to hurt Jincheng Tianzi. But the important thing is that the Emperor of Jincheng was disturbed by the attack along the way, and he would also feel that the King of Beiling was incompetent in governance. ”
This matter is actually not a bad thing for Lu Yunli and Hua Feihua, the most important thing now is how to control it secretly, he is the initiator of the incident, but because of the rapid changes in it, he can't completely control it in his own hands. The current situation is a huge whirlpool, and although I stir up the whirlpool, I can't control it at all.
Looking at Tian Zihua's worried expression, the three of them didn't know how to appease them, and they couldn't think of corresponding countermeasures for a while.
Lu Yunli broke the dullness and said: "Let's go back and think about countermeasures for this matter, don't worry too much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, everything has a solution, you eat something first." After speaking, he secretly kicked Hua Feihua's stool with his foot, Hua Feihua understood, and said: "Compared with the king of the northwest, we are not bad, there is no need to worry, wait for us to go back and think of a countermeasure." He turned his head and said to Yu: "Godmother, let's go back first." ”
Yu sent the two out of the house, watched the two walk into the Beiling Palace, sighed slightly, and turned back to the house.
On the way, Hua Feihua said, "Brother Lu thinks this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Lu Yunli: "The opportunities are half, it depends on how we operate in secret." ”
Hua Feihua: "With the ingenuity of you and me, it's okay to kill a Beiling King, but when these 100,000 troops gather, the situation will become much more complicated." ”
Lu Yunli asked, "What do you know about the Northwest Warlord?"
Hua Feihua: "This Northwest warlord is named Wu Tian, known as the King of the Northwest, forty-four years old this year, half of the Xiliang blood, with a pair of cold iron halberds in both hands, very brave, it is said that when this person was young, he used the strength of one person to resist the troops of the Rakshasa Kingdom of several hundred people. Even a powerful nation like the Blue Wolf Country did not dare to provoke the king of the northwest. Thinking about it from another angle, it is also a lot of fun to have such a fierce general participate. ”
Lu Yunli was not very optimistic, and said: "I'm afraid that the situation will not be able to be controlled by then, and we will also be buried in it." ”
Hua Feihua saw Lu Yunli so pessimistic and said: "The more chaotic it is, the more opportunities you can have." ”
Lu Yunli was not very sure, and only said: "It's been hard these days, go back to sleep." ”
The two said goodbye and went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, Lu Yunli went to the kitchen to ask for a large piece of pork, and took the pork to the corner tower on the east wall. Leaning over to see that the shark was still swimming back and forth in the huge iron box, Lu Yunli threw the pork down, and the water surface churned, as fierce as when he was in Yancheng. A man hurried out of the simple log cabin on the side, still wearing the shabby vest. Lu Yunli greeted Feng Yuanxing on the corner tower: "I don't know that Brother Feng is still resting, I'm disturbed." ”
Feng Yuanxing saw Lu Yunli standing on the city wall, and replied loudly in a loud voice: "Yesterday, I heard that my brother is back, and I am an outsider, so I can't go into the mansion to visit, and I am still worried about it." ”
Lu Yun left the corner tower, walked out of the palace from the east gate, and went to Feng Yuanxing, and said: "It also makes Brother Feng worry, I really don't want to go, I'm too busy these days, I haven't found time to accompany me, I don't know if I'm bored here." ”
Feng Yuanxing smiled happily and said: "It's nothing boring, here is leisure, as long as I feed this shark every day, I don't have to worry about anything else, and there is so much silver to take, how can it be boring." ”
Lu Yunli took out two bottles of wine in his arms and handed them to Feng Yuanxing, saying: "These two bottles are the spirits of the Blue Wolf Country, they are too spicy to drink, and they were specially brought back for Brother Feng, I don't know if Brother Feng likes to drink spirits." ”
Feng Yuanxing was not polite, took the wine, opened the lid and took a big sip, the Adam's apple squirmed, and then there was a "Ah...", a very satisfied voice. said: "Good wine, Brother Xie." ”
Lu Yunli said: "There is still something to deal with in the house, I'll go back first, I'll work hard for you here." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the palace.
Wang Fuzhong urgently convened a meeting to discuss the matter of Wu Tian, the king of the northwest, and the king of Beiling: "The most important thing now is that I don't know what the specific purpose of Wu Tianlai is, if it is really our analysis of assassinating the king on the way to the emperor of Jincheng, we must destroy their plan before they act." ”
Tian Zihua: "The prince has released a large number of spies, and there will be news in two days, if the location of Wu Tian is figured out, the prince will personally lead the troops to crusade and kill him by surprise." ”
The king of Beiling nodded yes and arranged: "Hua Feihua stayed in the palace to help the teacher, and I took Li Bo, Lu Yunli and 50,000 elite soldiers to attack Yancheng at night." ”
Things are arranged, and each of them prepares separately.
Two days later, the king of Beiling summoned Tian Zihua, Lu Yunli, and Li Bo.
Tian Zihua: "50,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry are ready, and there are ten captains." In the morning, he had sent people to guard the city gate, only allowed to enter but not to leave, and let three hundred cavalry run to the inns along the way, only people were allowed to enter and not leave, just waiting for the prince's order. ”
King Beiling slapped the table and said loudly: "Preemptively, kill Wu Tian's thief today." After speaking, he walked out of the palace first.
Outside the palace, an army of 50,000 people was already in full array, with bright armor and neat formations. The king of Beiling said in a loud voice to the team: "The northwest warlord Wu Tian wants to assassinate the king and kill the driver, we are loyal to the lord, this night attack on Yancheng, who can kill Wu Tian with his own hands, increase the official level 3, reward 1,000 taels of gold, if you return with a great victory, each person will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver." ”
The soldiers shouted loudly, "I will not fail the king." The voice shook the sky. After that, the king of Beiling took the lead, and 50,000 soldiers followed him and marched to Yancheng.
Lu Yunli looked behind him on horseback, the team behind him was boundless, and the shining armor reflected the sun's rays, like a huge python slowly approaching its prey.
Li Bo, Lu Yunli was riding a horse around the King of Beiling, and the King of Beiling saw that Lu Yunli was carrying a bundle of rags on his back and asked, "What is on your back?"
Lu Yunli: "A knife was made by a blacksmith before killing the Blue Wolf King." ”
King Beiling: "Take it to me and take a look." ”
Lu Yun dissociated the ink heart and handed it to the King of Beiling, who took out the ink heart and said with a smile: "This knife is very good, it turns out that you can do martial arts." As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Yunli's hands, which were white and tender, not like those who studied martial arts, whose bones were deformed and their skin was rough.
Lu Yunli said calmly: "No, this knife is what I use to defend myself, I was in danger when I took the head of the Blue Wolf King, and I have a weapon to strengthen my courage." ”
