Little Scholar's Circle of Husbands

After a day and two nights of rapid travel, at dawn on the third day, Lu Fangzhou and his party finally saw Jiuyuan County in the morning light.

Jiuyuan County used to be an important military fortress in the northern border of Daliang. It bordered the Yellow River in the north, the Great Wall in the east and west, and Zhidao in the south. At the beginning of the Daliang Dynasty, it played a huge role in defending the northern border.

As the Lou Family Army pacified the northern border, Daliang took over a lot of northern barbarian land, and the defense line in front of Jiuyuan County also pushed across the Yellow River and extended to the edge of the grassland in front.

This time the northern barbarian army suppressed the border, but did not regain the grassland in front of Jiuyuan County as expected, so Jiuyuan County was safe and sound, and it was set as a transit place for Daliang's grain and grass.

When Lu Fangzhou and others arrived in Jiuyuan County, they first handed over, and then were welcomed by the county guard to rest at the post station. In the afternoon, the county guard hurried over and told Lu Fangzhou one thing: "My lord, sir Encountered a difficulty, I would like to ask an adult to help me."

The sheriff is an official of the fifth rank, while Lu Fangzhou is only the sixth rank, so he can't afford to be an adult, and hurriedly said: "The sheriff, please tell me."

"It's like this. The battle ahead is tight, and this batch of military rations needs to be transported immediately. I have military officers here, but there is a lack of civil servants responsible for counting and handing over. This...can you help me, sir?" The sheriff looked expectantly. Landing and Fangzhou, he is a man in his forties, who has been blown very old by the wind in the north, and because he hasn't slept well for days, his eye sockets are sunken.

Being begged by such a person, Lu Fangzhou was a little embarrassed to refuse, after all, Jiuyuan County is the rear, and transporting it is going to the front.

On the contrary, Xu Wen glanced at it, hesitated and said, "Why don't we help with this?"

After Xu Wen said that, Lu Fangzhou couldn't refuse, so he nodded, and the sheriff hurriedly thanked him happily.So the two set off again that night, and it happened that it was windy in the north, and the veteran who was familiar with the climate hurriedly told Lu Fangzhou and Xu Wen: "You two adults must cover your mouth and nose, there is sand in the wind, blow too much Not good."

Lu Fangzhou complied. He was someone who knew about sandstorms, and he thought that this was what the veteran said.

Xu Wen did as well, and the two followed the team on the dark grassland at night. Suddenly, the leader stopped the team, and several soldiers went up and lay down on the ground to listen for a long time. They are all very dignified.

Lu Fangzhou felt bad when he saw it. He had seen this kind of situation in a costume drama. He was lying on the ground and heard the sound of horseshoes. Judging from the soldiers' expressions, there might be cavalry approaching, and they were not from our side.

He hurriedly rode his horse to inquire, and the team leader didn't hide anything, and told the truth: "The sound of the horse's hooves is wrong, I'm afraid it's not from our side."

Is it an enemy?This is how to do?The grain truck is the baggage, it is too late to run now, and it is impossible to fight. Since it is robbing the grain and grass, the number of the opponent must be more than our escort.

"I have an idea." Xu Wen also rode his horse forward, pointing to a place behind with his whip, "I remember that there is a stone forest over there, you can store all the food and grass there first, and divide some soldiers to guard it, and the rest will take it with you. Use empty chariots and horses to distract the enemy."

The team leader was silent when he heard the words, as if he was undecided, Xu Wen was anxious when he saw it: "General, the opportunity is fleeting, if there is a delay, there will not even be enough time to transfer to Stone Forest."

Lu Fangzhou couldn't understand what the team leader was thinking, so he didn't dare to say much, but the team leader quietly turned his attention to Lu Shui who followed Lu Fangzhou, and seeing that Lu Shui calmly agreed, he nodded: "Okay ,So be it."

The food team moved immediately, and the soldiers in charge of transporting them were all strong and strong young men, who moved very quickly, and soon arrived at the destination. It was said to be a stone forest, but it was actually a group of rocks on the wind-eroded landform.

The leader hid the grain and grass not far from the exit, and told the remaining soldiers not to go deep into it, because it is easy to get lost here.

After speaking, he took the rest of the soldiers to go together, Lu Fangzhou was about to follow, Xu Wen stopped him: "Brother Lu, you stay here, there must be no civil servants here."

Lu Fangzhou was taken aback, the danger of going was very high, Xu Wen actually gave him the hope of living at such a critical moment, so he couldn't bear to say: "You are in deep crisis, how can I stay alone?"

"Staying here may not be safer than following along, you have to be careful." Xu Wen said.

Lu Fangzhou still wanted to give way, but he didn't want the team leader to have issued an order to start. Xu Wen pushed Lu Fangzhou and rode away. He hurriedly asked the captain who was staying with him.

Only a seventh-rank school lieutenant stayed behind, and he was very polite to Lu Fangzhou. He explained the deployment of troops in each place, pointed to a hidden place, and said, "Your Excellency and your followers can stay here."

Lu Fangzhou looked at the hiding place, which was a certain distance from the place where the grain and grass were hidden, and he was very puzzled.

The captain explained: "The grain and grass are very easy to be ignited. If you stay in one place, you may catch yourself on fire. Besides, the fewer people around the grain and grass, the more inconspicuous you will be."

Lu Fangzhou nodded, and went to hide according to the captain's arrangement.

The wind is getting stronger, and there will be strange sounds when blowing through the wind-eroded landform. Lu Fangzhou knows that this is because the rocks have been weathered to have some small holes, and there will be strange phenomena when the wind blows through.

The soldiers didn't know, so they just laughed and said: "The barbarians say that there are gods here, and nothing can be traded here. I hope they can't believe this legend tonight."

The truth is not so good, soon there were some chaotic hoofbeats, followed by a voice, obviously not the pronunciation of the Central Plains, the soldiers looked serious, the barbarian actually touched this?

The crowd didn't move immediately, but kept silent under the cover of the darkness and the terrain. The barbarian didn't seem very sure that there must be someone here, so he took a machete and slashed and poked a few times on the rock.

The soldiers were obviously familiar with the barbarian's approach, and they all had their own methods of evasion. Lu Fangzhou was not familiar with it. Fortunately, some veterans were distracted to protect him, and he was fine for the time being.But soon a soldier was discovered, and the barbarians immediately became agitated, whistling and rushing towards the discovered soldier.

The soldiers were defeated, and the smell of blood immediately filled the air. More soldiers were discovered. The captain of the team ordered a counterattack. A few soldiers rushed forward one after another. Lu Fangzhou was held down to prevent him from attacking. go out.

The number of barbarians was far greater than the soldiers left behind. After a while, there were not many people on the scene, so the barbarians sent out some people to check around to see if there was anything missing.

Lu Fangzhou was lying on the ground. There was a gap where he was hiding. You could see the blood-stained scimitar piercing the gap, and it seemed to have a tendency to hit the soldier on his back. How could this be? good?If the soldiers were hit by knives, the barbarians would dig three feet into the ground and dig them out together. Can you go out and lure them away?No, the result is the same, the barbarian will inevitably go to the place where he hid before.

what to do?Just when Lu Fangzhou was at a loss, Manzi suddenly made a noise, Manzi snorted again, but he was much more flustered and frightened than before, and then there was a horse whistling, and the ground shook When I got up, it was obvious that another team had come, and it must be a friendly army, because the barbarian's screams soon filled the ground.

After a while, the battlefield completely quieted down, the barbarians were all killed, and the friendly army began to shout: "The barbarians are all dead, come out!"

The soldier holding Lu Fangzhou went out immediately, and Lu Fangzhou wanted to follow, but Lu Shui stopped him, until a Lu Fangzhou heard a familiar voice, and then Lu Fangzhou let go of Lu Fang boat, took him out.

It was only then that Lu Fangzhou saw clearly who the familiar voice was. It turned out to be Lu Qing. The tall and tall Lu Qing was very obvious in the team, and judging by how obedient the rest of the soldiers were to him, Lu Qing was still the same. Not a small head, he is asking what the remaining soldiers are doing here?

Most of the soldiers had gone through a fierce battle and hadn't recovered their breath. They didn't answer in detail for a while. When someone saw Lu Fangzhou, he pointed at him: "That's one of our leaders, ask him."

Lu Qing hurriedly turned her head, and when she saw Lu Fangzhou, she was very pleasantly surprised: "Lu Xiucai, why are you here? Oh no, you are no longer a scholar, should you be called Master Lu?"

Lu Fangzhou was too lazy to care about what Lu Qing called him, now all he could think about was that Lu Qing was here, what about Lu Yan?Is it nearby too?Not going to hit it?After bumping into him, how should he face Yan Yan, how should he talk to Yan Yan?

"Hey, Lu Xiucai, don't be in a daze, hurry up and tell me why you are here? I didn't come here on purpose, I just followed after I found a group of barbarians sneaking around, and the big group is somewhere else." Lu Qing Seeing that Lu Fangzhou was silent, he hurriedly said.

Lu Fangzhou came back to his senses, the Xindao army is not nearby, so he won't run into Lu Yan for the time being, so he cleared his throat and told Lu Qing what had happened, and pointed out the place where the food was stored. Lu Qing was overjoyed when he heard it: "You really dare to do it and hide the food and grass here? You, you, you, three come here." Lu counted the three of them, "Go ahead and tell the boss that the food and grass are already in hand, boldly kill the barbarians, don't worry, you guys The two hurried back to the camp to transfer the amount of horses and chariots."

Lu Qing quickly assigned the task, and the remaining soldiers quickly dug out all the food and grass. The horses and horses arrived in a short time, and the food and grass were quickly loaded into the car. With a wave of Lu Qing's big hand, the team went to the front camp up.

Lu Fangzhou really didn't want to go with him, but he didn't want to go. There was no one to hand over the food and grass, and he couldn't pay the errand, and it was too late at night for him to stay alone in the desert. .

As soon as I arrived at the camp, I didn't take a few steps to see the chaos in the main tent. Several young men holding herbal medicine boxes rushed to run, and followed behind several middle-aged men who looked like military doctors. They were all very dignified, and what's more, they were still secretly wiping their sweat.

Princess Changping galloped into the camp at lightning speed, and asked with concern before dismounting: "How is the situation?"

Immediately, several guard officers ran out of the tent, their bodies were all stained with blood, and the leader was extremely anxious: "Princess, hurry up, go in and have a look."

Princess Changping rushed in immediately.

Lu Fangzhou was startled. The only person who can make Princess Changping care so much is... Yan Yan. There is blood on those people, could it be from Yan Yan?Is Yan Yan injured?is it serious?Lu Fangzhou couldn't help tiptoeing into the main tent, but unfortunately the tent door was closed and he couldn't see anything.

Lu Fangzhou was very anxious, he suddenly realized that no matter how much he hated Yan Yan, he would still feel heartbroken when he saw him get hurt.He's so cheap, he's still caring about her even though she already has a princess.

Thinking of landing, Fangzhou lowered his head in disgust.

Lu Qing stood watching from a distance, and glanced at Lu Shan beside him: "Shanzi, I can't figure it out, there is a play in the main tent, it's for Manzi and the Holy Lord, how did you let Lu Xiucai see it too? How sad that is Now, that's not the case at all, how can you ask the boss to see him later?"

Lu Shan glanced sideways and said, "It's because the boss wants to see him later, so I let him watch this play. The greater the disappointment, the greater the surprise."

"What's the mess? All this is a trick, the boss just needs to make it clear." Lu Qing despised Lu Shan.

Lu Shan also despises Lu Qing: "Such a big misunderstanding can't be resolved by calmly sitting down and talking, it can only be solved if you get confused." Seeing that Lu Qing still didn't understand, he stopped explaining, disgusted He urged, "Go, hurry up and send Lu Xiucai to rest."

Lu Qing clicked his tongue and wanted to argue, but Lu Shan didn't give him a chance to turn around and leave, Lu Qing had no choice but to give up, Shan Zi always had a lot of tricks, and everything worked, so let's listen to him.Then he stepped forward and said to Lu Fangzhou with a smile: "Lu Xiucai, don't stand still, hurry up and follow me, I will take you to a place to rest."

"I... I'm not tired." Lu Fangzhou looked at the main tent reluctantly, hoping to see some clues from the crowds entering and leaving.

Lu Qing shook his head: "Why don't you feel tired? I've heard it all. You ran for two nights and arrived in Jiuyuan County in one day. After resting for half a day, you set off to come here again. You are from the south and don't often ride horses. Pay attention to rest, otherwise you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow." He couldn't help saying that he pulled Lu Fangzhou up and left.

Lu Fangzhou wanted to break free, but as Lu Qing said, he was too tired and had no strength, and his walking steps were frivolous, let alone break free.

Lu Qing quickly brought Lu Fangzhou to a tent that was slightly smaller than the main tent, and pointed at the tent door: "You live here."

Lu Fangzhou didn't enter right away, but wondered: "Such a big tent?" All he saw were small tents along the way, and occasionally some soldiers would come out of the tents, and those who lived in different uniforms were almost the same. , only this one is very big, and the parting tent is a little far away.

"It's not big, you don't live alone, if you want two people, go in quickly." Lu Qing said and pushed Lu Fangzhou again.

Lu Fangzhou thought for a while, two people?Is it him and Xu Wen?That's not surprising at all, Xu this kind of tent was arranged for the officials who went to and from the barracks, so he lifted the curtain and walked in.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he was hugged tightly, and he was very familiar with this embrace.

It turned out to be... Lu Yan? !

The author has something to say: Lu Fangzhou: Yan Yan, Yan Yan, my mother is going to abuse me when things come to an end, what do you think?

Yan Yan: Well, when the matter is over, I will fix him.

Lu Fangzhou: Oh, good!Eh?What is more important than fixing your own mother?

Yan Yan (laughs): Naturally, it’s a sweet thing (^o^)/~
