Subduing Dragon

The funeral of Long Zhenshi was arranged vigorously.

Lu Sheng couldn't help, so he could only stand by and watch.Looking at her eyes, her chest churned because she thought of her father and sister.It turns out that the funeral is to be so sad and solemn, to make the tragedy the No. [-] grand ceremony in Tianzi, and to shock the world with great fanfare.Guardian Long lay in Jinsinan's big coffin, quietly and peacefully, died more dignified and honored than when he was alive.

But what about his father and sister?

Lu Sheng only knew that godfather collected the corpses for them, and that godfather didn't do it himself.At that time, the godfather was taking him to flee Beijing. He entrusted his cronies and friends to take the risk of taking the corpse of Marshal Bai.None of Marshal Bai's old subordinates showed up. I don't know if it was because they were too afraid of Man Shucai, or if they were just ruthless.Where it was buried, Lu Sheng was not very clear; how it was buried, he did not know.When he was 12 years old, he was still a child through and through. He only knew what death was.And what should we do after death?Not only did he not know, he didn't even think about it.

Now that he is 20 years old, he has seen a real funeral for the first time—it turns out that even a person can die so brilliantly.The whole county was dressed in hemp and filial piety for the guards. It was not cold yet, but there were only black and white colors.Because of the death of the guardian envoy, the world entered winter early.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng felt mixed feelings in his heart.It wasn't jealousy or resentment, it was a small clump of weak flames burning him, making him feel hot and painful.Thoughts passed over his father and younger sister, their faces were a bit blurred, but there were three other words that were extremely clear, always imprinted on the center of his eyes.

Man Shucai!

It's all because of Manshu!Man Shucai is all to blame!Lu Sheng had been tempered by Long Xiang for many years and lost his temper. Even if he had a temper, he would not display his emotions or anger.Man Shu is the only one—no need to show his face, as long as he reveals these three words, he will be full of anger, gnash his teeth, sharpen his knife, and want to kill someone!

Therefore, he tried his best to press down these three words, to the deepest part.Don't be afraid to settle accounts if you have debts, and you will not be bad if you are dead.

The Dragon House gradually became chaotic, not because of internal turmoil, but because more and more guests and friends came to express their condolences.Relatives from the Long family came to the door—a large group of relatives—first weeping and lamenting the untimely death of Brother Long, and then they stopped crying and began to calculate the property of the Long family with Long Xiang.Long Xiang lived to such an age, it was the first time he knew that he had relatives in his family, and when he learned of their purpose, he pulled down the filial belt of his filial piety robe, turned his face directly, and wanted to have all relatives kicked out .But the relatives came prepared, not completely unreasonable: first of all, Longxiang is only a big boy.The envoy Long Zhenshou has painstakingly managed his entire life's property, so can he just give it all to a kid?Secondly, the dragon has no mother.If Long Zhenshi had a knowledgeable and sensible wife, then the widow would lead her son to live a life, and it was only right and proper. As long as Mrs. Long did not remarry, the relatives would have no room to intervene.But the Long family did not have such a wife, and the origin of Long Xiang himself was also a mystery.At that time, I didn't hear that the envoy of Long Zhen asked any girl to be a concubine, but he suddenly claimed that he had a son, and raised this son in a secret way, so as not to let outsiders see.So, is this son the real son of the guardian envoy?You are capable of coaxing a guard, but you are not capable of coaxing the whole world!Many of the relatives of the Long family are very discerning, and they will not allow you, a bastard of unknown origin, to play tricks!

In the middle of the quarrel, Lu Sheng heard the news and rushed over.Hearing that they were talking more and more fiercely, and seeing that Long Xiang's life experience was about to be mentioned, he broke out in a cold sweat, ready to rush into the crowd and make a scene at any time, not allowing them to finish talking.But after listening for a while, he gradually felt relieved.Co-author Chen Ma really told herself a big secret that day, and this secret is not only unknown to outsiders, but apparently few insiders know it—it’s better never to know, otherwise once the truth comes out, Xiang Long There will be no way to be a human being in the future.

Since the relatives were just arguing, Lu Sheng put his heart back into his stomach, but he was also a little angry when he saw these aggressive and unfamiliar faces in front of him.Holding Long Xiang's wrist with one hand, he was afraid that Long Xiang would get angry for a while and rush into the crowd like he did with himself and Yaya, scratching and biting.

However, to his surprise, Long Xiang had a calm face and did not explode into thunderous anger.Raising his right hand and hooking his index finger, he hooked a burly man behind him.The big man was dressed as a small officer, walked up to Long Xiang, bent down, and said respectfully, "Master."

Long Xiang waved his hand lightly forward, "Show people, drive them all out of the city, all the way out of the city. If they don't listen, they will be beaten; if they don't listen, they will be killed. Go."

The big man agreed, then straightened up, turned around, and slipped out through the back door.Lu Sheng looked back at the back of the big man, and remembered that he had met him once - he was fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and he had recruited soldiers for Long Xiang for a long time, because he didn't have a serious heart to recruit soldiers. So recruit extra picky.Over time, a team of mighty men and horses was assembled for Long Xiang.That team of troops now has the size of two battalions, which is regarded as Long Xiang's pro-army.He thought that Long Xiang wanted to lead troops and wanted to be jealous, so he made himself an officer, giving orders to enjoy himself.Unexpectedly, in the past few days, Long Xiang pulled out those two battalions and distributed them inside and outside the house.And these young men are armed with live ammunition, with big arms and round waists, and stand by with ears pricked up like wolf dogs, they are very smart and reliable.

It seemed that within half a minute, the big man came back.This time when he entered the door, he seemed to have changed into a different person, walking with glaring eyes, pushing the relatives of the Long family away with his broad shoulders and thick arms.He moved his hand, and the soldiers behind him also moved their hands.Immediately there were voices of crying father and mother in the room, Lu Sheng looked at the crowd, then looked at Long Xiang, only to find that Long Xiang was calm, he only raised his hand to rub his temples.

"Very good." Lu Sheng smiled, "I'm really afraid you'd be angry with those people. Your dog temper—oh, yes, you've managed really well today."

Long Xiang glanced at him, and asked dismissively: "Why am I angry with them? I don't even know them!"

Lu Sheng smiled again, because it seemed that Long Xiang was not crazy at all at the moment, he was very rational and very reassuring, "He is so tolerant to people he doesn't know; why is he like a mad dog to me and Yaya?"

Long Xiang turned to the front, raised his chin slightly, looked upright, and said, "Crazy!"

Lu Sheng felt relieved, and then remembered the reason for his visit, "Ya Ya is waiting for us to have lunch. She made a plate of fried pork today, a newly learned skill, and it is not good at all. You have to deal with it." Right! I really don’t like it, there’s also a plate of fried pea sprouts and salted duck eggs, so there’s no shortage of food.”

The relatives had all been expelled by the soldiers by this time.Long Xiang gave a few words to the big man who stayed nearby, and then walked out, "Lu Sheng, you are so greedy, you just know how to eat."

"I'm afraid that you will pick and choose, and you will scold Yaya if you don't have enough to eat."

Long Xiang turned his head and stared at Lu Sheng with his pitch-black eyes, "What's wrong with me scolding her? Are you distressed?"

Lu Sheng, like dribbling a basketball, raised his hand to grab his cap and turned forward, "Of course I feel distressed."

Long Xiang followed his strength and turned to the front, but his mouth was not idle, "She is from my family, so you don't need to worry about it!"

"Then do you need me to take care of it?"

"I can do it, but I can't do her!"

Lu Sheng imitated his tone just now, and replied concisely: "Just do it!"

Yaya is not a smart girl. When she was a child, she learned to read and write slowly. Later, she learned needlework from old mothers, and she still made progress only through hard work and hard work.Now she is cooking a new dish for the first time, as always, the results are still not good.While eating, Long Xiang scolded: "It's just stupid! I'm so stupid! I can't make this weird taste even if I cook it with my feet!"

Yaya stood aside, pinching her fingers and murmured how much salt to put and how much vinegar to put, doing her own self-criticism, her two ears had filtering functions, which automatically blocked Longxiang's voice from the outside.Lu Sheng peeled a salted egg and threw it into Long Xiang's bowl, saying, "The rice still can't stop your mouth."

At this moment, Yaya suddenly came back to her senses, seeing that both Long Xiang and Lu Sheng's rice bowls were half empty, she quietly reached out to take the rice bowls and filled them with a full bowl of white rice.Long Xiang lowered his head and chewed, unable to speak for a moment.They were eating happily when there was a knock on the door.

The visitor followed Chief of Staff Xu's order and came to talk to Master Long at the front.Long Xiang put down the bowl and was about to follow others, but stopped when he reached the door, turned around and walked into the bedroom with the curtain lifted.After a while, he came back again, and Lu Sheng saw a small corner protruding from his waist, so he knew that he had just gone into the house to get a pistol—Long Xiang was a little nervous recently, and always suspected that someone would Killing him, even Chief of Staff Xu is one of the suspects.

As soon as Long Xiang left, Yaya served herself a bowl of rice, sat down at the table and began to eat.While eating, she suddenly said, "I haven't been out for a long time."

Lu Sheng replied, "After the funeral tomorrow, I'll take you for a stroll."

"Then I'll stop by and buy some flower thread."

"it is good."

Yaya thought of a new question again, "Are you bringing the young master?"

"He can go if he likes, it's better not to go."

Yaya smiled, "Bring him a bag of white sugar cakes when he comes back, he is busy eating, so he has no time to get angry."

After hearing Yaya's tactic, Lu Sheng couldn't help laughing.It was cloudy outside the window, and it was very dark inside, but Lu Sheng didn't feel desolate, because Yaya had a plump, rosy little apple face, radiant and always smiling.

Sometimes, he would sit alone by the window flipping a book, and Yaya would sit outside doing needlework through a curtain.At that time, he didn't think about hatred, didn't think about the future, he didn't care about anything, he just sat still and sat.However, it is not lonely at all, because beyond the curtain, there are girls' needles and threads passing through silk, satin and cotton cloth, making very subtle and light whistling sounds.Because of the popularity of that voice, it is warmer and warmer than the sound of wind and water.

At that time, he felt really good, everything around him was good, and he really wanted to always be this good, until the end of time.

"Hey." He said again without warning, "Time flies so fast. When I first came here, you were a little girl."

Yaya slowly raised her eyes to look at him, her eyelashes trembling a little.

Lu Sheng continued: "I still remember what you looked like at that time, but in a few decades, I'm afraid I will forget it."

Yaya replied in a low voice: "I will never forget it. My aunt said that when I was young, I remember the things most clearly, and I will never forget them when I grow old."

Lu Sheng smiled and said, "We should get a photo box and take pictures of our current appearance. When we grow old in the future, take out the photos and see how interesting it is."

Yaya lowered her head and smiled, "I'm getting old...can we still look at photos together?"

Lu Sheng also lowered his head slightly, and replied word by word: "I hope so."

Yaya was silent for a moment, she still had something to say in her heart, but she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.The eldest brother is not a nonsense person, especially to her what he says and what he says, spitting is a nail.She thought that maybe she didn't need to test and beat him with words anymore, she would feel embarrassed if she spoke too thoroughly.As long as you know his mind and he knows your own mind, that's enough.

Thinking of this, she sneaked another glance at Lu Sheng, and after one glance, she was elated and satisfied.

When it was dark, Long Xiang returned safely, and the pistol at his waist did not move.Lu Sheng wanted to ask him a few words, but he kept sitting in a daze and refused to answer.Lu Sheng pressed harder, he changed his face as usual, and began to feel annoyed by Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng could see that he was thinking about something on his mind, and it was an extremely complicated mind.Simple things don't require him to use his brain like this.And he didn't even eat dinner, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

When he slept until dawn, he got up with everyone in Longzhai, because the day for the funeral had arrived.

Lu Sheng didn't go, but was left by Long Xiang to "main inside".After wandering around the house for a day, at dusk, all members of the Long family came back with dusty faces, Lu Sheng waited and waited, but there was no sign of the dragon.

Long Xiang didn't come back that night, he lived in the barracks, and he still didn't show up the next day.Until the early morning of the third day, he suddenly appeared in front of Lu Sheng's bed like a ghost.

Lu Sheng was sleeping soundly at the time, and dimly felt someone was in front of him. He opened his eyes and looked at Long Xiang with a blank expression, thinking that he was dreaming—until Long Xiang put a cold hand on him. neck fossa.

He let out a cry and woke up completely at the same time.He lifted the quilt and sat up, he didn't know whether he should be annoyed at the moment, "Are you back?"

There were no lights in the room, and there were no stars or moons outside the window. The only light source was a small electric light above the courtyard gate.Lu Sheng looked at Long Xiang, saw that his lips were red, his teeth were white, his face was blue, like a ghost in a happy mood.But Long Xiang sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "I'm going out to fight."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng thought he had an illusion, so he couldn't help but poke his head forward, "What?"

Long lowered his lips against him, and made a mischievous grimace, "Since my father died, the people below have been lawless. No matter what Lao Xu and I say, they all just treat it as fart. Treat these people who see the wind If I don't beat him up, I will keep him?"

Lu Sheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, "What are you going to beat? Just these soldiers in the county? With few enemies, you are looking for death, right? Besides, who said you should inherit your father's career? Are you really Become a prince yourself?"

Long Xiang glared, "Of course I have to inherit my father's business, not only my son's business, but I also have to open up territories in the future! Am I an ordinary person?" Then he bowed his head to Lu Sheng, "You see My two dragon horns—”

Lu Sheng slapped him with his head in his head, "I see! Who knows what you two lumps are, if others say you are a dragon, you really think you are a dragon? That Chief of Staff Xu is neither old nor young, by virtue of Why do you praise you so much? Does he have his purpose? I think he just wants to learn from Cao Cao and coerce the emperor to make the princes. If this thing is done, he will take advantage of it; When the time comes, you will make enemies all over the place, what should you do?"

Long Xiang shook his head disapprovingly, "I don't care what his purpose is, anyway, I have mine. Don't worry, I know it well."

Lu Sheng thought for a moment, then said, "Then I'll go with you."

Long Xiang shook his head, "No."

Lu Sheng grabbed his arm, "You can't take it, just in case you're outside—"

Before he finished speaking, he was already pushed away impatiently by Long Xiang, "If you don't want to take it, you won't take it. Look at you, you have a broken mouth and timidity. If I listen to you, I will never take it with you in my life." Don't do anything, it's safest to keep the door behind closed doors!"

After saying this, he got up to leave.Lu Sheng hurriedly jumped out of the bed with bare feet, and stopped in front of him with a big stride, "How many people did you take? Is there an old man following you? Where are you going? How many enemies are there?"

Long Xiang took a step forward and was so close to him that his chest was almost touching.Lifting his face and puffing his cheeks, he sprayed Lu Sheng's saliva all over his face.

Then, while Lu Sheng lowered his head and raised his hands to wipe his face, he turned sideways briskly and slipped away from Lu Sheng.By the time Lu Sheng chased him out, he had already run away without a trace.

Lu Sheng felt that Long Xiang was fanciful, and he also hated everyone in the Long family, except Yaya.The two peanut-like bumps on Longxiang's head had nothing to do with the horns of the dragon—or the horns of any other animal.Especially after learning about Long Xiang's origin, he became more and more suspicious that Long Xiang hadn't grown well in the womb at all.

It didn't grow well, and there were two more pimples on the head, which is not too unusual, and the hair is covered vertically, and it can't be seen.But the members of the Long family didn't know if they were flattering or not, and they insisted that he was the reincarnation of the real dragon.Talking about it every day, every day, every day, for 18 years, Bai Lusheng's mind was a little active, and he was almost superstitious.Lu Sheng thought that he should be regarded as the most knowledgeable person in the Long Mansion, and he would be confused, not to mention the inherently deficient Long Xiang?If no one said that he was a dragon, and no one predicted that he would become emperor every now and then, he would definitely not have such an ambitious Spring and Autumn Dream.Don't dream big, then close the door to live a quiet life without stimulation, Lu Sheng thought he might be able to live a few more years in peace.

It's good now, it's still not dawn outside, he came back and went out like a ghost, and he didn't know if he really took those hundreds of relatives to the battlefield - after all, where is the battlefield?There is no accurate place, so where can he find someone?

The more Lu Sheng thought about it, the more confused he became, until his head swelled up.Putting on his clothes in a hurry, he pushed open the door and ran out, trying to go to the camp as quickly as possible and intercept Long Xiang.The days are getting colder and colder, especially in the morning and evening as cold as winter.Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and ran out, halfway through the run, he turned a corner again, because he thought that riding a horse might be faster, if those good and obedient horses were at home at the moment.

He was very cold, and he went out in such a hurry that he didn't even drink his saliva.So after getting on the horse, he felt very thirsty again.He thought this dragon was too tormenting, but luckily he and Yaya were two people who could share his torment equally; if he hadn't come or Yaya hadn't come, then no matter what, one person couldn't bear him.He doesn't need to be malicious, he can drive a lot of people to death happily.

The barracks is located at the east end of the county seat. It is a large barracks with a desolate playground outside.Lu Sheng was not usually fond of riding and archery, but today he ignored the temper of the horse and kept waving his whip to urge the horse all the way.The guard at the gate of the camp vaguely recognized him, hesitantly did not stop him.So he rode his horse straight into the camp, and galloped until the regiment gate before turning over and jumping off the horse.

Panting heavily and breaking into the room, he saw that the room was completely dark, and there was no living person at all.He turned around and ran out for a few laps, and finally he grabbed a passing clerk, "Have you seen the young master?"

The clerk was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and carrying a big thermos. He looked like he had just crawled out of bed not long ago, "Master? No, I just woke up. Why don't you go to the hot water room! You haven't washed your face yet. "

Lu Sheng anxiously asked again: "Then where is your head? Is the head still there?"

The clerk yawned, "Are we in a group? That's not there, he—"

Speaking of this, the document suddenly put on a serious face, and there was a bit of vigilance in his sleepy eyes, "Master Bai, the actions of our group are military secrets, and I can't tell them!"

Seeing the posture of the document, Lu Sheng felt blessed, and immediately omitted the step of begging, and directly took out a few dollars and stuffed them into his padded jacket pocket.The clerk dodged shyly, humming and saying no, but in the end he was defeated. With a shy smile, he told Lu Sheng in a soft voice like a mosquito buzzing: "Our regiment led the troops to go far away. [-]% is going to war."

Lu Sheng struck while the iron was hot, and immediately asked, "Where did you go? Who are you fighting with?"

The clerk thought for a long time, and finally replied: "And that son."

"Who is 'then who'?"

"That's it—the one who used to be a thieves—the one who fell to his death three years ago—the one who left two concubines and let his son take over the house—oh, the name is on my lips, why? Can't tell?"

Lu Sheng nodded and began to retreat, "Okay, thank you, I understand."

Lu Sheng said he knew, but he didn't know.But after learning these two clues, he planned to go home immediately and ask everyone in the Long family.This "that who" is obviously also a legendary figure, and he is a subordinate of the guardian envoy of the dragon town. People in the dragon family should not know him.

However, after making a lot of inquiries, Lu Sheng was surprised to find that among the old subordinates of the guard of the dragon town, there were at least three or four who had been thieves; It is even more uncommon to accept anecdotes such as Lao Tzu's aunt and wife.After all, the aunts and wives are all young and beautiful, as beautiful as flowers, and they are idle at home, and they are also suspected of being a waste.

Lu Sheng was dumbfounded, and simply ran to Chief of Staff Xu's house to see what the right person in charge had to say, but Chief of Staff Xu was not at home.The housekeeper of the Xu family entertained him, but the housekeeper's mouth was so tight that even silver dollar bills could not pry his lips open.He politely gave Lu Sheng a soft nail, and the housekeeper blows Lu Sheng away like a spring breeze.

Lu Sheng still did not give up. This time he went out of the city and asked the villagers in the fields outside the city if they had seen the army passing by.As a result, the villagers told him that there have been soldiers in this area every day.He asked where the troops were going, and the villagers immediately pointed to the south, east, north, and west.

Lu Sheng went out early in the morning, but when he returned to Longzhai in the city from the countryside, it was already dark.

He ran around for a day with nothing, no hot food in his belly, no thick clothes on his body, and he was always in a state of getting angry. He felt that he was empty, but his chest and abdomen were full, and he had no appetite.Yaya cooked him a bowl of hot noodle soup, and he took a few mouthfuls of the big bowl, then raised his head and said to Yaya, "I don't care, he can do whatever he likes."

Yaya thought about it and asked, "Is it okay?"

Lu Sheng put down the big bowl, bowed his head and let out a long breath.He raised his head, and suddenly smiled at Yaya, "Actually, it should be fine, because my nerves are too sensitive. No matter how bad he is, his brain is still smart. Even if he is in danger, he will never sit and wait for death."

Yaya was also worried at first, but when Lu Sheng said "it's okay", she immediately decided to put her heart back into her stomach as if she had heard the sound of a Buddhist language, and also believed that Longxiang was fine.Picking up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, she wanted to make Lu Sheng's bed and spread out the quilt, and pour hot soup to warm the quilt, but Mama Huang yelled at her in the yard, telling her to go back to bed early.

They're not children anymore, lonely men and widows, they don't leave after dark, they always get together in one room and chatter, what's the point?Mama Huang's eyes are bright, and she instinctively wants to prevent problems before they happen.

Yaya pouted, agreed reluctantly, and walked away slowly with her head down.As soon as she left, the room immediately became a scene of empty pots and cold stoves, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees.Lu Sheng sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, not thinking about anything, only depressed.I can't do anything, I just want to put my legs up and roll into bed to sleep.

After a night, the sun is shining brightly.Lu Sheng opened his eyes and looked out the window, and saw a grid of blue sky.

The autumn is crisp, the world is peaceful, Long Xiang has not heard from him, and Chief of Staff Xu is still missing.Suddenly there was nothing at home, not even a job.Everyone in the Long family was lazily basking in the sun, and no one was particularly concerned about Xiang Xiang's whereabouts, including Huang Ma - Mama Huang really regarded the dragon as a real dragon emperor. Speaking of it, if she won't be taken back by the gods in the sky, she will live with confidence and boldness, and secretly set a lifespan for Longxiang—at least as long as Lord Qianlong.

Mama Huang is not worried. Others are more ignorant than Mama Huang, so of course they are not worried.Influenced by the atmosphere, Lu Sheng gradually relaxed.

When he was free, he wandered around Longxiang's room, taking care of him to tidy up the room.There are a lot of brand-new rags in Longxiang's room--new, which means that these things are not very old, and some of them are not even full moon, such as an American-made phonograph; After getting rid of Long Xiang's rough hands and feet, without exception, all of them were on the verge of being scrapped.

Lu Sheng saw that the phonograph had a big flower-like brass horn, which was really cute, so he looked at the manual and wanted to repair it.Yaya enthusiastically ran over to help him. The two of them worked hard for a long time, and finally ended up with motor oil all over their hands and faces. They were relatively speechless and only sighed together.And the phonograph, with its brass horn upturned like a big face, is still dead and silent.

Lu Sheng was not reconciled, and always felt that he had a way to deal with everything, and there was no reason why he couldn't do anything about it with a machine.Yaya quit, stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and bring you dinner."

Lu Sheng absent-mindedly agreed.

Not long after Yaya left, Lu Sheng suddenly heard the door to the outside room slam, and said loudly: "I'll be busy for a while, you can eat first."

However, it was a man's thick throat that answered him, "Report, is the person in the room Young Master Bai?"

Lu Sheng was taken aback, got up and went to lift the door curtain.I saw a big man in military uniform standing by the door of the outer room. This big man looked very familiar, like someone next to Long Xiang.

With a sudden lift of his heart, Lu Sheng grabbed the thick gouache satin door curtain with his dirty hands, "You are..."

The big man gave a military salute, and replied in a rough voice: "The humble surname is Li, and the big name is Li Shangwu. You gave me this name at the beginning!"

"I?"

"The humble job was originally named Li Erbai, but Young Master Bai said my name was disrespectful, so he changed it to Li Shangwu."

Lu Sheng nodded. In fact, he still didn't remember who Li Erbai was, because he had changed the names of countless dog leftovers, hairy eggs, and dung sweepers when he was recruiting soldiers, but he remembered that Li Shangwu was indeed a follower of many people. Around the dragon.The last time the relatives of the Long family came to make trouble, he still took the order of Xiang Long and led the soldiers to drive the relatives out.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, "Did you go with Master Long yesterday? Where is Master Long? Why did you come back by yourself?"

Li Shangwu replied: "Report to Young Master Bai, the humble officer went with the young master. The young master said that he would take us to beat Zhao Da fool. Besides our two battalions, there is also a guard group. Who knows that Zhao Da fool is not stupid at all." , we just exchanged fire with him three times, and we don't know what happened, so they separated us from the guard group. Now we are at a disadvantage, Master Long asked me to come back to the chief of staff and ask the chief of staff to send reinforcements quickly Go to rescue."

Lu Sheng's face changed when he heard this, "Relieve the siege? Are you surrounded by people?"

Li Shangwu replied: "It's not that they are surrounded!"

"How is Longxiang now?"

"The young master is very good, but the calf was rubbed by the bullet for a while, and he didn't dare to sleep all the time. He was always afraid of a sneak attack by Zhao Da fool."

"What about Chief of Staff Xu? Did he agree to send reinforcements?"

Li Shangwu spread his hands, showing a silly face, "The chief of staff is not at home."

"Not at home, where did he go?"

"When we set off, the chief of staff said he was going to find reinforcements, so he set off too."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"I'm waiting for the chief of staff to come back! Oh, yes, the young master asked me to come over and give you a message, telling you not to worry, stay at home with Miss Yaya, and he will be back in two days. He also said this Don't beat up fool Zhao Da honestly, he is a worm."

Lu Sheng opened his mouth, let out a suffocating breath, then turned around and went back to get a pen and paper.Spreading the white paper on the window sill, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "How do I get from here to the place where you are fighting? Tell me to draw."

Little by little, Lu Sheng got a very rough road map, and then sent Li Shangwu to the home of Chief of Staff Xu.

He didn't know who Zhao Da fool was, and he didn't want to find out what kind of monster the other party was.He only knew that Long Xiang was injured now, and that there were only a few hundred troops left around Long Xiang, and they were hundreds of troops with no actual combat experience.With such an immature group of several hundred people, plus a crazy young master who is on the battlefield for the first time, and a seemingly very cunning "Zhao Da fool", it's no wonder they don't lose!

It's good to lose the war, but it's bad to be wronged if you lose your life.The bastard!Lu Sheng gritted his teeth in hatred; you bastard!If he is not allowed to go, he must go!what's the result?Isn't the result going to implicate yourself?This evil spirit!This evil!Die!

While cursing furiously in his heart, Lu Sheng circled back and forth in the room.Why do you hate Long Xiang, because he and Long Xiang are partners who grew up together, and when Long met danger, I had to save him!The sky is cold, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is hard work, who is willing to save him?How dangerous it is to walk at night and on the battlefield, who is willing to save him?

Not happy, very unhappy.So unhappy, but also saved!Pushing open the door and running towards the west wing, he rumbled into the bedroom, sat by the bed and began to change into breeches and a padded jacket.Today's midnight is as cold as winter.He wanted to find the woolen socks he wore last year and put them on his feet, but he couldn't find them for a while, so he stopped looking for them. He grabbed the shafts of the riding boots with both hands, and kicked his feet in.

There was movement in the yard, it was Yaya who came back with a food box.Walking in the yard at this time, she shouted loudly: "Big brother, dinner is ready!"

Lu Sheng tucked a small pistol into his waist, then went out to stop Yaya, "You eat by yourself, I'll go out for a while."

Yaya looked at him in astonishment, "Where are you going?"

Lu Sheng replied in a low voice, "I'm going to see Long Xiang. He—I just heard that he's disobedient outside again. I'll try to get him back."

Yaya looked at him firmly, blinked her big eyes, "Didn't he go to the battlefield?"

Before Lu Sheng could answer, she immediately asked, "Did he lose the battle?"

Before Lu Sheng could speak, she continued, "Then I'll go with you too."

Lu Sheng's face darkened, "Nonsense, what are you going to do?"

Yaya bent down and put the food box on the ground, and said anxiously and quickly: "You go to the battlefield to find him, there are guns and cannons on the battlefield, it's too dangerous."

Lu Sheng began to attack her, "You know the danger and you still go? Can you block the gun or can you block the gun? Are you going to make trouble for me? Stay at home honestly. I will come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If I can't come back, I will Have someone send you a letter."

Yaya opened her arms, and said in a crying voice as if she was going to play tricks: "Big brother, just take me with you!"

Lu Sheng didn't speak, but just looked at her with a straight face.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Yaya lowered her head and automatically put down her hands, "Then you must be careful."

Lu Sheng put his hand on her shoulder, originally he just wanted to pat her, but involuntarily, he naturally hugged Yaya into his arms.He tightened his arms and strangled Yaya hard, then he let go, blushing and said: "I'll definitely be back, just wait!"

Then he pushed Yaya away and strode out of the yard.

Lu Sheng refused to say anything, fearing that someone with ulterior motives would use rumors to sway people's hearts and take the opportunity to create chaos.Anyway, the people of the Long family didn't pay much attention to him, so he quietly led a horse out.Before it was dark and the gates of the city were still closed, he rode on his horse and walked out of the city by himself.

As soon as he left the city, he straightened his waist and gritted his teeth again.In fact, he was also afraid in his heart, because the road ahead was vast, and he didn't know the surrounding terrain well, so he didn't know if there were thieves and bandits on the road at night.But I have to go even if I am afraid, who made him the big brother.

The horse is a good horse, galloping on the mountain road without stopping.At first, the mountain road connected to the county town was relatively flat, but after running for more than an hour, the crops on both sides of the road became more and more sparse, and the houses of the villagers became less and less.He knew that he was going to the mountains. Judging from the map in his hand, after crossing this mountain, he had to walk close to a county town, and then walked a wilderness of more than ten miles before he could Arrive at the battlefield.Long Xiang's hundreds of people were surrounded by the enemy on three sides, and it wasn't that they had no way out.Where there is a retreat, there is naturally an entrance.So if there is no accident, he can still meet Long Xiang smoothly.

It was getting dark, and the wind was getting colder and sharper, piercing Lu Sheng's face like small needles.The horse couldn't stand it after running for a long time, so after the horse ran fast for a while, Lusheng jumped off the horse and jogged with the horse for a while.This horse is also human, as if it sensed Lu Sheng's urgency, so as long as it can lift its hoof, it will never be lazy.
