Space hoarding: Miracle doctor’s fat wife is not easy to mess with
Chapter 284 There is clearly something wrong here!
Lou Chuhe came to the banquet.
When Qi Yue and Zhao Xiyan passed by, they were waiting in the front hall, looking awe-inspiring from a distance.
When she arrived in the hall and saw his true face, Qi Yue already felt a little fond of him.
This Lou Chuhe doesn't look like the fat waist and round belly of ordinary rich people. Instead, he is very healthy and has a certain righteousness.
The face is thin, the eyes are bright, the beard is sparse and neatly trimmed.
He was wearing a gray gown with no accessories around his waist.
He clearly doesn't look like a famous wealthy person in Yecheng, but looks like an unknown scholar.
Seeing the two people from a distance, they already bowed deeply.
"I've met Lord Marquis, Miss Qi!"
"Get up."
Zhao Xiyan greeted him, and Qi Yue discovered that he was quite tall.
I remember that when I was young, I was a handsome man.
The three of them were waiting to sit down respectively. Lou Chuhe, who had finished saluting, suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Xiyan. Qi Yue was also surprised for a moment.
Zhao Xiyan was obviously surprised.
I have never seen such endless salutes, and besides, Lou Chuhe was the person he invited to the banquet, so these routines were obviously against the rules.
"Mr. Lou, what do you mean?"
Lou Chuhe kowtowed three times before raising his head.
"On behalf of my beloved Zilou, I would like to express my gratitude to Lord Marquis for the grace of my life!"
What kind of life?
Qi Yue looked at Zhao Xiyan curiously, but saw that he also had a puzzled look on his face, obviously knowing nothing.
"Mr. Lou, I know that your son is in the Donggao Army, and I also know your purpose of coming here. However, nothing is final yet, so it's better not to thank him too early."
Lou Chuhe wiped away his tears and shook his head repeatedly.
"That's why I should be grateful."
Originally, people like Lou Chuhe didn't need to serve in the military if they gave the government more money.
But Song Chengye, the owner of Yecheng, does not follow common sense.
He has a strange theory, believing that only by integrating the children of these wealthy families into the army will the rich families spend more money to finance the war during the war.
Since the Lou family had two sons, it was natural for the old man to be recruited into the army.
But only Lou Zhihe knows that his eldest son Lou Zhifang is his hope.
Because the second son has been weak and sick since he was born. He is really delicate and expensive, and he will fall down when the cold wind blows. He takes medicine every three days. According to the doctor, he will not live to be twenty years old.
But Song Chengye didn't care about this. Not only did he enlist Lou Zhifang into the army, he also extorted a sum of money every year. If there was a war, a wealthy man like Lou Chuhe would have to use money to protect his son's life.
Whoever has more money can get a safer position during the war. For example, the Huotou Army is usually in the rear area, so the safety factor is very high.
But although Lou Chuhe also paid money, for some reason Lou Zhifang would still be sent to the battlefield every time he fought.
In fact, they don't know that this is just a strategy of sending Chengye. The purpose is to deter these wealthy households from continuing to send money.
It was fate that he was in this building. The year before he had just joined the army, he was sent to the battlefield to attack Beiyuan. By coincidence, the person facing them was Zhao Xiyan, who was becoming a general for the first time.
That year, Donggao and Nanyue jointly sent troops to Beiyuan. Qi Yunchang had passed away at that time. The person who took over the Longnan Army was Hu Chengxuan. He led an army of 18 but could not withstand the coalition forces of the two countries. Therefore, Zhao Xiyan, who was only years old at the time, was elected. As the general of the Southern Route Army, he resisted the Donggao army.
In that battle, Zhao Xiyan swept through thousands of troops, defeated the Donggao army, and captured many Donggao sergeants.
At that time, the accompanying supervisors wanted to kill all the prisoners, but Zhao Xiyan firmly opposed it and took the initiative to let all the captives go.
Among those who were let go was Lou Zhifang, Lou Chuhe's son.
It was like Zhao Xiyan indirectly saved his life.
But if it’s just this one time, it doesn’t matter.
Strangely, more than a year ago, King Fox led his army to invade again. Zhao Xiyan, who had just stood up, fought against Dong Gao's army again and once again spared Lou Zhifang's life on the battlefield.
According to Lou Chuhe, that battle was particularly brutal. His son Lou Zhifang was so frightened that he accidentally entered the camp of the Beiyuan Army. In this case, he would most likely be regarded as a spy and would have to die. If someone is to be tortured, at least he must be a prisoner.
As a result, Zhao Xiyan glanced at the captured Lou Zhifang and said two words - "Let him go!"
Lou Zhifang miraculously escaped the disaster.
If the fight starts again this time, it will be the third time. I don’t know if Lou Zhifang has a chance to survive.
After listening to Lou Chuhe's story, Qi Yue was also surprised.
There are such coincidences in the world!
"Master Hou, I am already old, and my youngest son is seeing..." At this point, Lou Chuhe was almost crying.
"...I want to keep the Lou family alive, and also want to do something for the people of Yecheng. I ask the Marquis to allow me to leave the city. I will do my best to find out the truth about the enemy camp and report to the Marquis. I hope that the Marquis will do it." I miss my son’s house..."
During Lou Chuhe's short and slow narration, Qi Yue also roughly understood what he meant.
Lou Chuhe wanted to pretend to surrender to gain Song Chengye's trust, and then cooperate with them internally and externally.
The idea is good, but if done improperly, the old gentleman may not be able to come back.
What's more important is that he specifically proposed to take the whole family with him, so that Song Chengye could completely believe that he was truly seeking refuge.
Although there is indeed no one in the Lou family, there is only Mrs. Lou and a weak and sick young son, but taking the whole family together to explore the enemy camp sounds strangely tight.
She glanced at Zhao Xiyan thoughtfully, and saw that he was looking cold and lonely again, with no expression on his face, and she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Who among the people outside would have thought that he was talking about love and flirting half an hour ago?
"I understand what Mr. Lou means," Zhao Xiyan said in an icy voice like the cold wind in autumn, "I just don't know how Mr. Lou can show his sincerity?"
This also means Qi Yue's concerns.
Originally, she and Zhao Xiyan had agreed to use both soft and hard tactics against Lou Chuhe to prevent him from having any thoughts of betrayal against Yecheng.
But Lou Chuhe's series of actions after entering the door completely exceeded the two's original expectations.
It's both kowtow and storytelling, and it's also really touching, and it's hard not to believe in it.
However, Qi Yue and Zhao Xiyan are not ordinary people. They have experienced too many lives and deaths, and they will naturally have a deeper understanding and vigilance of the subtleties of human nature.
Even if Lou Chuhe was telling the truth at this moment, and he really wanted to save his son and save Yecheng from the war, it was hard to say whether he could not change his original intention when it came to Song Chengye.
After all, as soon as he took his family away and handed over the basics when he got there, the family was reunited!
In addition, Song Chengye has an army of 30. If they really face him, there is no guarantee that Lou Chuhe will be frightened.
All these things need to be carefully considered by two people.
Unexpectedly, Lou Chuhe didn't show the slightest surprise when he heard this, but seemed to have expected it.
"Master Hou, I'm ready."
As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his arms and presented it.
"Master Marquis, inside the box are the deeds, land deeds, and all ticket number stubs of my ancestral home of the Lou family. In addition, there is a bluestone slab building in the ancestral home of the Lou family. There is a secret room under the stone slab, which contains the family property of two generations of the Lou family. , I am willing to give them all. In addition..."
Hearing this, Qi Yue was already secretly speechless at Lou Chuhe's magical operation.
I have never seen anyone like this, someone who dares to risk his own life and even divulge all his wealth!
There is obviously something wrong here!
But Qi Yue couldn't tell what the specific problem was.
Suddenly, Lou Chuhe paused, a look of long-suppressed pain appeared on his slender face, and his pale lips trembled helplessly, as if he was about to say something unspeakable.
