Chapter 13: Chapter 12
Yu Chigong seemed to be thinking, nodded slowly, staring at the fire, Lu Zhongming asked: "Where did we meet?"
Yuchi Gong smiled and replied: "No."
Lu Zhongming: "???"
Lu Zhongming was completely confused by him, when he wanted to ask again, Yu Chigong said: "Shh, don't talk."
Lu Zhongming raised his eyebrows, Yu Chigong motioned him to look into the stove, and said, "Look."
The iron gradually burned red, and Lu Zhongming didn't know why, so he sat in a daze, watching Yu Chigong forge the iron.
"Have you ever struck iron?" Yu Chigong asked.
"No." Lu Zhongming replied regretfully.
Yuchi Gong said: "My master said that a human being is like a piece of iron, it cannot be made into a tool unless it is forged, and when it is forged, it is suffering."
Speaking of Yuchi Gong smiled at Lu Zhongming, Lu Zhongming suddenly felt moved, and said: "My father also said that a person is like a piece of jade, if you don't carve it, you can't make it."
Yu Chigong nodded, and Lu Zhongming said again: "But how to carve a piece of jade depends on the texture and texture of the jade itself. Not everyone can become a beautiful jade, more or less, there will always be flaws, if you blindly be cruel to yourself, you don't understand It is very easy to destroy yourself by following the principles of nature."
Yu Chigong nodded, and Lu Zhongming asked again: "Did you know how to blacksmith when you were young?"
"Yes." Yu Chigong said: "When I was young, I lived outside the Great Wall and forged iron. I learned it from Turks. I was taught by a master."
Lu Zhongming was a little surprised, Yu Chigong asked: "Do you know Turkic people?"
Lu Zhongming thought for a while and said, "I know that the Turks often invade the Central Plains, and they are a powerful force."
"Yes." Yu Chigong said: "Most people say that, they have killed many people from the Central Plains in these years..."
Lu Zhongming chatted with Yu Chigong, and suddenly realized that he came to find Yu Chigong and asked him to follow him, it didn't matter at all.On this snowy day, he couldn't stop wanting to chat with Yuchi Gongduo.After all, after coming to Chutang, it was the first time he had such an opportunity to get to know and understand someone.
No, it should be said that this was his first time since childhood.
When he was talking to Yu Chigong, Yu Chigong always looked into his eyes and smiled at him from time to time.
In the red light of the stove, Lu Zhongming gradually understood something.Finally, I know why I and Yu Chigong didn't always think on the same line at the beginning.
What he wanted was to recruit Yu Chigong and take him to do some business, but when Yu Chigong met him, he had a good impression of him, and his only thought was to make friends with him and chat with each other.
After figuring out this verse, Lu Zhongming suddenly felt it was funny, and felt quite warm in his heart, so he sat by the furnace and chatted without saying a word, holding a cup of tea.Yu Chigong told him that those days when he grew up outside the customs...
"What happened later?" Lu Zhongming frowned.
Yu Chigong said: "...Later Turks came into our village and captured many people. I learned blacksmithing from that Turkic master. In the past, they were forged by Rouran people, and their skills were very good. Later, they were captured by people from the Central Plains. I ran away, I had nowhere to go, so I packed my bed and came here."
"Do you remember your home?" Lu Zhongming asked.
"I can't find it." Yu Chigong smiled and said, "It's snowing outside the Great Wall. When I left that village, I wanted to go home and have a look. I walked on the grassland for more than a year, but I couldn't find it."
Yu Chigong said a few words lightly, but Lu Zhongming knew that he must have suffered a lot since he was a child.Wandering in troubled times, not only the people in the Central Plains are destitute, but even the ethnic groups outside the Great Wall are also living in turmoil.
"You can tell fortunes." Yu Chigong asked again: "Do you know when will everyone be able to live a good life?"
"Soon." Lu Zhongming said, "Less than 20 years."
Yuchi said with a smile, "You should be able to see it in your lifetime."
"Of course." Lu Zhongming said: "Everyone who is in it is a creator of history."
When Yu Chigong heard those words, he seemed to be moved, and when he wanted to ask Lu Zhongming what he wanted, someone outside knocked on the door.Lu Zhongming hurriedly looked up and found that it was Luo Shixin who had come.
Luo Shixin: "Don't you have lunch?"
Luo Shixin watched the two sitting together, Yu Chigong nodded to him and said, "Stay here for dinner?"
Lu Zhongming understood and stood up and respectfully said to Yuchi: "I'll go back first."
Yu Chigong nodded, wiped his hands with a dirty cloth, and sent the two of them out of the iron shop. Luo Shixin put Lu Zhongming on his shoulders and took him home.Before leaving, Lu Zhongming still couldn't help turning his head, mouthed to Yu Chigong, and smiled.Yu Chigong nodded knowingly, knowing that Lu Zhongming meant that he would come to him when he had time.
Xiaoxue was flying all over the sky, Luo Shixin walked in front of Lu Zhongming, Lu Zhongming lowered his head, and walked slowly against Xiaoxue.
"Thinking about Heitantou?" Luo Shixin asked.
"No." Lu Zhongming said with a smile, "I think of many things at once."
Luo Shixin raised his eyebrows again, and Lu Zhongming said what he was thinking: "How insignificant is the power of mortals? A lifetime is only a hundred years, and in troubled times, people often cannot control their own destiny and future, but everyone still works so hard. alive."
"So?" Ross asked.
Lu Zhongming shook his head, smiled, and said, "Yu Chigong is not a bad person, he is quite serious."
Luo Shixin mumbled casually, and Lu Zhongming told Luo Shixin what the two had talked about, and Luo Shixin said casually, "He's a man, but I don't like him."
Lu Zhongming was stunned and said, "Why?"
Luo Shixin: "My face is black."
Lu Zhongming: "..."
When they got home that day, Qin Qiong didn't ask any more questions, and the three of them went on as usual. After Lu Zhongming returned from Yu Chigong's place, as if awakened by his words, he began to gradually understand the mortal world and life of mortals.In the past, he always looked at these people living in this era from the perspective of a fairy, and he never felt that there was anything wrong.However, since he met Yu Chigong, he realized that he still has too much to learn and understand.
The next morning, the snow stopped.
Yu Chigong took the money, closed the door of the iron shop and went out, and walked towards the market. A group of Turkic people passed by the market, shouting something loudly.Yu Chigong was buying candied fruit in the market, and after hearing a few Turkic words, he became interested, put the candied fruit in his arms, turned his head to look, and followed.
Several Turks entered an alley, and Yu Chigong followed.
In the east of the city, there are two cowhide lanterns hanging in front of Lu Zhongming's house, with the character Luo on the left and the character Qin on the right.
It was three poles high in the sun, just as Lu Zhongming came out, Luo Shixin said, "Eat."
There was a bowl of clear porridge on the table, as well as sauced beef and various side dishes. Lu Zhongming thought it was earlier and went out to play with Yuchi Gong, but Luo Shixin got up earlier than him.
After breakfast, Lu Zhongming lay on the table, bored.
"I'll go for a walk." Lu Zhongming said.
"What's there to do? It's snowing, don't go out." Luo Shi said.
Lu Zhongming said: "Let me go—"
Luo Shixin said angrily: "The boots are dirty, I won't wash them for you."
Lu Zhongming said: "I wash it myself."
Luo Shixin: "I wash the clothes by myself? I also cook the meals by myself, and then I go wild outside. I don't cook for you."
Lu Zhongming: "..."
After leaving Xingyang, Lu Zhongming was taken care of by Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin along the way. Lu Zhongming didn't know how to wash or change clothes. It was Luo Shixin who rubbed in the yard every day with a wooden bucket and a washboard.When eating, Qin Qiong went to buy vegetables, and then cooked at home.
It's freezing cold, let Lu Zhongming wash his clothes and wash the dishes by himself, it will kill him!
Luo Shixin: "I burn the bath water myself."
These words completely crushed Lu Zhongming, and Lu Zhongming could only look at the two with bitter hatred, Luo Shi said: "I don't understand, why do you keep looking for that black charcoal? Others don't do business?"
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Yu Chigong: "Is Zhongming at home?"
Lu Zhongming's expression was like "Look, he doesn't do business". Luo Shixin really had nothing to do with him, but he looked at Lu Zhongming seriously, pointed at him, and pointed to the backyard, signaling him to get out.
Lu Zhongming showed a pleading expression.
Yu Chigong asked again: "Zhongming?"
Luo Shixin had a serious face, Lu Zhongming had no choice but to get up obediently, walked to the screen in the backyard, looked out from the crack, thinking that maybe Qin Qiong had something to ask Yu Chigong.
Unexpectedly, Luo Shixin opened the door and did not let Yu Chigong in, and said indifferently: "He went out."
Yuchi Gong looked inside, Qin Qiong said in the hall: "Come back tomorrow."
Yu Chigong looked at Qin Qiong, then at Luo Shixin, and asked with a smile, "Are you Zhongming's brother? You two look alike."
Luo Shixin: "?"
picture?Lu Zhongming was baffled, what did he look like?Do I look like Rossin?
"It's almost useless to get close." Luo Shixin looked at Yu Chigong, with an expression that strangers should not come close, you dare to touch me and beat your shit out, and said casually: "Go out and wait."
Yu Chigong also had a good temper, smiled, bowed his hands to Luo Shixin, stepped back a few steps, Luo Shixin closed the door and fastened the latch.
It's okay, it's okay, Luo Shixin didn't throw it when he closed the door, he was very polite.
Lu Zhongming came out from behind the screen, and Luo Shixin asked Qin Qiong: "Do I look alike to the little idiot?"
"Is the little fool talking about me!" Lu Zhongming roared tragically.Luo Shixin accidentally said the nicknames he and Qin Qiong had given to Lu Zhongming on weekdays, and the two immediately said: "Shh..." indicating that Yu Chigong is still outside, be careful not to be overheard
Lu Zhongming: "..."
Lu Zhongming said: "Am I very stupid?"
"No." Qin Qiong said, "Who said you're a dick? I'll beat him up for you."
Lu Zhongming always felt that he was being molested again, with an angry expression on his face, but Luo Shixin smiled unrestrainedly, put his arms around Lu Zhongming carelessly, and said to Qin Qiong: "Shubao, do you think we look alike?"
"The same two." Qin Qiong said: "I went to study."
Yu Chigong was probably still waiting outside, Qin Qiong was sitting on the stairs with a book in his hand, and Luo Shixin was playing with a knife in his hand, pouring himself a drink.
Lu Zhongming was like a displeased cockfighting rooster, who disliked everyone now, so Luo Shixin asked Lu Zhongming solemnly again, "Zhongming, do you think we look alike?"
Lu Zhongming looked at Luo Shixin for a while and said, "You look like my father."
Luo Shidao: "My dear son, be obedient."
Lu Zhongming was completely speechless, looking outside, Luo Shixin raised his eyes and glanced at him, Lu Zhongming also stared at him, looked at Luo Shixin, and suddenly found that this guy was indeed a bit like his father...not because he looked like him, but because he looked like what I said , you have to give me the look of what to do, very similar.
I thought that when I was on Jinao Island, I was always impatient with Lu Bu, but after I left his side, I missed him to death.Hey... Dad doesn't know what's going on now.
Lu Zhongming thought for a while, and started to deal with Luo Shixin the same way he used to deal with his father. First, he tapped on the side to find out about the military situation, to see if Luo Shixin and his father had similar logic, and asked, "Why don't you let me and my father Yuchi play."
Luo Shixin: "No reason. I don't like him."
Sure enough, even the answer is exactly the same!Lu Zhongming was secretly happy and said, "Let me go, I promise to come back soon."
Ross said: "No."
Lu Zhongming: "I opened the door, you look at it, we say, no more than ten sentences."
Luo Shixin: "No."
Lu Zhongming: "Five sentences? Three sentences? You have to give someone an explanation for breaking up the relationship. I'll tell him not to come to me again, okay?"
Luo Shixin had nothing to do with Lu Zhongming, and said impatiently, "What can I say?"
Lu Zhongming knew the deal was done, so he got up and went to open the door, Luo Shi said, "Did I nod my head?"
Lu Zhongming knew that if he continued to open the door, Luo Shixin would definitely not beat him up, so he dawdled and opened the door.However, Yuchi Gong had already left outside.
Qin Qiong: "Do you always use this trick to deal with your father?"
Lu Zhongming laughed, seeing it, and felt that Yu Chigong was quite pitiful. He didn't know where Luo Shixin was offended, but Qin Qiong didn't say anything, but Luo Shixin rejected Yu Chigong a little bit.
"Brother Luo, you are afraid that you will be deceived." Qin Qiong laughed.
Lu Zhongming said: "He won't."
"There are many liars in Xianbei." Luo Shixin said coldly: "You don't know, it's dangerous outside, you forgot, Yang Guang is still looking for us. That charcoal head is staring at you, with that look, he wants to eat you up What are you doing with him?"
Lu Zhongming knew that Luo Shixin loved him, but he really had a headache. How could he explain to him that Yu Chigong was not a bad person, but Luo Shixin's mind was full of shavings, so he didn't listen to him, so he was bored and went back to the backyard.
Luo Shixin: "Where are you going?"
Lu Zhongming: "Take a nap—"
Luo Shixin ignored him. When he returned to the backyard, he suddenly saw a person sitting on the wall and whistled at him. It was Yu Chigong.
Yuchi said with a smile, "Zhongming!"
Lu Zhongming laughed, and Yu Chigong waved: "Come on, come out! I'll take you for a stroll!"
Taking advantage of Luo Shixin's ignorance, Lu Zhongming climbed up the wall with his hands and feet, turned out of the yard, and slipped away.
After the snow had passed and the weather cleared, Yu Chigong changed into the buckskin pants, wolfskin jacket and hat that they had when they first met, and transformed into a Xianbei handsome man without a trace of being a blacksmith.
Lu Zhongming said, "Why are you here?"
Yuchi Gong said: "I want to talk to you."
Yu Chigong led Lu Zhongming out from the alley, today is the day for going to the market.The market was bustling and lively, and the two stood on one side of the market, looking at the foxes brought by the hunters for sale at Yanmenguan.Lu Zhongming felt a little unreal about this scene, as if all the disputes and troubles were far away from him.
However, Yu Chigong seemed to have something on his mind, pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, then looked at Lu Zhongming, Lu Zhongming noticed the clue, and asked: "Speak up if you have something to say."
Yu Chigong seemed to be heartbroken, and said, "Come with me."
The two turned into another alley, and the smell of wine came from the deep alley. Yu Chigong was worried all the way, and pushed open the back door of the winery to go in. Lu Zhongming suddenly saw two Turkic people who were drunk like mud.
Lu Zhongming vaguely sensed something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"
Yu Chigong said in a low voice: "Early this morning, I came here to bring you some wine, and I met three Turkic men discussing things inside."
Lu Zhongming stepped forward to examine the two Turkic men, saw that his face was flushed and smelled of alcohol, and he said: "The clothes and trousers are full of alcohol. A drunk unconscious person will vomit after drooling, because you knocked him unconscious. Just pour it all over."
Yu Chi Gong hummed, and Lu Zhongming said again: "Is there another one?"
Yu Chigong looked at Lu Zhongming and remained silent.
Lu Zhongming thought about it for a second, and asked: "What plan does the Turkic have? Are they going to rob at Yanmen Pass? Or do they want to occupy the city?"
Yuchi Gong said: "How do you know?"
Lu Zhongming smiled and said: "You said there were three people, but there are only two here, and the other one couldn't have escaped, otherwise your expression must not be so calm. It is probably because after discussing the matter, one left, and the other two are here to respond."
Yuchi Gong nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Zhongming recalled Yu Chigong's background, and asked in a low voice: "They speak Turkic? You understand, right, what did they say?"
Yuchi Gong said: "Yanmen is closed for the winter festival, the market is open, they want to come in and rob."
Lu Zhongming asked in surprise: "The exact time? When?"
Yuchi Gong said: "From tomorrow night to the day after tomorrow, I didn't hear it very clearly. Now the Turkic soldiers are all lurking outside."
Lu Zhongming said: "Where is the ambush?"
Yuchi Gong said: "It seems to be the Great Wall under the Yanmen Mountain, half a month ahead."
Lu Zhongming: "How many people are there?"
Yu Chigong hesitated, shook his head, and said: "This matter is not easy to handle, there are too few guards, and most of them are guarding the pass in the north... I want to tell everyone in the city to be prepared, but I am a blacksmith, and what others say You may not believe it, you are a famous fortune teller..."
Lu Zhongming thought &%¥#@... What is the reason for this? Feelings are already a magic stick in Yuchigong's eyes. The two looked at each other. Lu Zhongming knew that Yuchigong wanted him to go door-to-door to warn them, telling them to come There will be troubles, and all households should be careful not to go out... But how can this be done?So he couldn't laugh or cry: "As the end of the year approaches, there are too many merchants coming and going, and it's useless to hide. Who will have the final say on the guards at the Yanmen Pass?"
"The order of Jinyang is Master Liu Wenjing." Yuchi said respectfully, "But his soldiers are all in Shangdang."
Lu Zhongming said: "It takes at least three days to go back and forth, it's too late."
Yu Chigong's eyebrows and eyes were very anxious, Lu Zhongming knew that such a big matter could not be taken care of by himself, so he held Yuchi Gong's hand and said, "Go back to my house to discuss, let's go."
Yu Chigong's big hand was warm, he hesitated for a while, then grabbed Lu Zhongming's hand, Yu Chigong said: "Here!"
As he said that, he took Lu Zhongming directly over the wall, turned a few alleys, and then turned back to the east of the city. Lu Zhongming was about to enter the hall when he heard the voice of a strange man talking with Qin Qiong.
Yuchi Gong: "Any guests?"
Lu Zhongming waved his hand lightly and stood outside the door listening.
In the hall, Luo Shixin was sitting idly, with a black robe tied up indiscriminately, while Qin Qiong was receiving guests. A refined man sat in front of Qin Qiong, and behind him stood guards dressed as warriors.
"There is no need to mention the past." Qin Qiong thought for a long time, and then said: "Hiding his name and living in Yanmen Pass, he just doesn't want to fight anymore."
Luo Shixin said again: "Everyone has his own aspirations, why force him?"
The man was not upset, he smiled and said: "General Luo's words are true, and I will tell you when I go back next time. When Mr. Lu comes back..."
Luo Shi said: "It's okay, just stay and have a glass of wine."
At this moment, Lu Zhongming opened the door and went in, and met the man face to face.I saw the man's face was like a crown of jade, with two tassels hanging in front of his temples, his brows were handsome, his eyes were bright, but he was very young, Lu Zhongming usually saw rough men, it was rare to see such a handsome young man suddenly, Can't help but smile.
"Are you back?" Luo Shixin said lazily, and gave Yu Chigong a look by the way.
"I'm back." Lu Zhongming bowed his hands to the guests first, and said with a smile, "Huh? How old is this year, little brother?"
The man didn't expect Lu Zhongming to be so young, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Fifteen, what about you?"
"I'm also fifteen." Lu Zhongming said happily, "My birthday is at the end of June, how about you?"
The man got up and said cheerfully, "I'm February, I was one year old when I was cheated, and I'm Li Ji, what's the name of my little brother?"
"Lv Zhongming." Lu Zhongming smiled and cupped hands with Li Ji.
"Cough!" Luo Shixin coughed.
Lu Zhongming sat down awkwardly, Li Ji just wanted to say something, but Lu Zhongming said to Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong: "The Turkic people have attacked outside the house, and they are expected to enter the city tomorrow night to loot."
"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. They didn't expect that Lu Zhongming would release such a shocking news as soon as he came. Even Luo Shixin didn't care to chase them away. He frowned and said, "How do you know? Where is the ambush?" ?”
Yu Chigong glanced at everyone, and Qin Qiong noticed that he was here too, and motioned him to sit down, and Yuchi Gong told everyone the news that he had overheard today. Following Yu Chigong's explanation, several people's faces became more serious .For a while, everyone in the hall stopped being polite and felt very dangerous.
Lu Zhongming said: "Turks entered the customs and robbed them. They have existed since ancient times. It is impossible to prevent them, and it is impossible to wipe them all out in one battle. We must find a way to minimize the casualties of the people in the city."
Li Ji nodded and said: "The soldiers at the Yanmen Gate only listen to Wang Wei, the deputy left behind. The Sui army's military system is too big, it is difficult to protect the people, and its combat power is not as good as the Turkic people..."
Qin Qiong said, "How did the Yanmen Gate defend against the Turks before?"
"I'm ashamed to say it." Li Ji said to Qin Qiong: "The ones resisting the Turkic soldiers are a rebel army, and the leader's name is Li Shanfei."
As soon as the words came out, several people knew it in their hearts. There used to be a peasant rebel army in Bingzhou. The Sui army was incompetent. Instead, they relied on the rebels to protect several important areas. People can already drive straight into it.
Luo Shixin was silent, several people looked at Luo Shixin's warm wine for a while, and the hot water was steaming.
Li Ji smiled gently, looked at Lu Zhongming, and asked, "Are you going to attack the camp?"
Lu Zhongming had a good impression of him, and felt that he was very polite and polite, giving him a feeling of spring breeze.Seeing that the guard beside him seemed to be quite skilled, he joked, "You want to go too?"
Li Ji turned his head and said to the guard: "How about we go with Mr. Lu, General Qin and General Luo to meet the Turkic people?"
The guard just nodded silently and said nothing.
Luo Shixin said to Li Ji: "You guys better not wade into this muddy water, go back first."
"The troops are divided into two groups." Lu Zhongming said, "Does Brother Li know Liu Wenjing? Liu Wenjing's side, please Brother Li."
Although Lu Zhongming didn't know Li Ji's origin, but from his aura, he knew that he was probably a son of an official of the Sui family. Sure enough, he guessed right. If you are interested, please write a letter, and I will go there in person. Save the wine for now, and drink it in the future."
Lu Zhongming happily said, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Li."
Qin Qiong went back to the room to get the brush and ink, Lu Zhongming pondered for a moment, and wrote a letter, Li Ji looked at the calligraphy and said with a smile: "Good calligraphy!"
"It's ridiculous to be lazy in training on weekdays." Lu Zhongming said.
Li Ji didn't bother to ask any more about how to make arrangements in the future, and said: "The military situation is urgent, I'm going right away." After finishing speaking, several people got up and sent Li Ji to the door, and when they wanted to say goodbye, Li Ji said again: " I heard that Mr. has a song, and many people in the Yanmen Gate can already sing it..."
Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "It's all made up."
Li Ji looked at Lu Zhongming, winked at him, and said with a smile, "How long will you stay in Yanmen Pass, sir? Li is yearning for it, and I only hope that he can come to visit often."
Lu Zhongming said: "It will take a long time to come, let's talk about it in another day."
Li Ji said with a smile: "Heroes, there will be a time later."
After finishing speaking, Li Ji got on his horse and left, Lu Zhongming went back into the hall, and the four of them sat in a very awkward position.
Luo Shixin: "Did you sleep on the street?"
Lu Zhongming: "I... sleepwalked."
Qin Qiong couldn't bear to see him, but Yu Chigong smiled and said: "I came to find Zhongming, what should I say now?"
Yu Chigong reminded them with a word, and the two of them realized that the business was important. Lu Zhongming suddenly found that everyone was looking at him, and said inexplicably, "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Think of a way." Qin Qiong said: "Don't you have a lot of ghost ideas?"
The corners of Lu Zhongming's mouth twitched, racking his brains, thinking about the conversation just now. Li Ji left and went to deliver the letter. That is to say, Jinyang Commander Liu Wenjing will come to rescue him. Theoretically, it's not a big problem, but if he comes a little later, it will be very difficult. Dangerous... What is Li Ji's identity?
Lu Zhongming had a clue, and said first: "I'm not busy, let's sort things out first. How did Li Ji find this place?"
Luo Shixin replied: "He just asked about Xingyang. Yanmen can't live anymore, so he still has to move."
Lu Zhongming knew that the news of the three wanted was finally spread outside the Great Wall. Zhang Xutuo was defeated in the battle of Xingyang and must be held accountable. Li Ji must have some channels to know their identities.
"You really said that?" Lu Zhongming said with a smile: "Is there no tact?"
Qin Qiong said: "Whether to be euphemistic or not, the meaning is in the words. I would rather the people who come here speak more straightforwardly. He also said that his parents want to invite us over to chat, have a glass of wine, and meet again. Don't say who it is, I said if you want to see me, come in person."
"If you guessed right, Li Ji should be from Tang Guogong's mansion." Lu Zhongming said, "Do you remember my ballad? Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Western, Eastern Han, Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties..."
As soon as these words came out, several people's faces changed, and Qin Qiong murmured: "So that's what it means."
"Of course, it may also be someone who wants to investigate Li Yuan's rebellion." Lu Zhongming said: "If it is a political enemy, it is not surprising at all."
"It's really a political enemy." Luo Shi said, "We should be arrested first."
Lu Zhongming nodded, pondered for a while, and decided that Li Ji must belong to Tang Guogong Li Yuan's family, because in the ballad, the Empress Sui is "Tang", and only Li Yuan is worthy of this title.In the beginning, he taught the children this song in order to lure Li Yuan out.In this way, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, it is also possible that Li Yuan sent a subordinate to invite him.But Lu Zhongming didn't plan to go as soon as he was invited, and now was not the time to go.
Yuchi respectfully said, "How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"
"You can't pin your hopes entirely on the reinforcements." Lu Zhongming said: "Since the Turks are in ambush at the foot of Yanmen Mountain, let's meet them for a while."
Luo Shixin said with a ruffian smile, "That's exactly what I mean."
Qin Qiong said: "If you haven't fought for a few months, if you don't find something to do, you will get rusty."
Yuchi Gong's expression changed: "The other party has at least a few hundred people!"
Lu Zhongming said: "They are in the dark, we are in the light, what are we afraid of?"
Yuchi Gong frowned and said, "I just want the people in the city to hide."
"There's nowhere to hide." Lu Zhongming said, "Let's go."
As soon as the words came out, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong went upstairs to get weapons, Yuchi respectfully said: "There is no horse, walk over there?"
"We have horses." Lu Zhongming took the longbow thrown by Qin Qiong, put it on his back, and when he was about to go out, Yu Chigong said again: "Don't go, listen to me, Turks outside the Great Wall are bloodthirsty, it's too dangerous. Me and your brother Let's go."
Both Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin couldn't help laughing, Yu Chigong looked at them puzzled.
"I... I'm not very good at fighting." Lu Zhongming said: "I can still shoot arrows, and I can protect myself."
Yu Chigong insisted: "No, it's enough for me to go."
Lu Zhongming: "Then we have a horse?"
Yuchi said respectfully, "No need, I have one."
Qin Qiong said: "Zhongming, you will take care of Brother Yuchi later."
Lu Zhongming hummed and nodded, Yu Chi Gong saw that he couldn't stop him and said, "Wait for me a while."
Luo Shixin brought three horses. The war horses hadn't been out for several months, and they were fat and strong. He asked, "Four people, three horses, how do we ride? Don't wait for him."
Qin Qiong said: "It should be to go back and lead the horse."
The three of them stood outside the back door for a while, when they saw Yu Chigong leading three mules, they immediately fell down together.
Yuchi Gong smiled and replied: "No."
Lu Zhongming: "???"
Lu Zhongming was completely confused by him, when he wanted to ask again, Yu Chigong said: "Shh, don't talk."
Lu Zhongming raised his eyebrows, Yu Chigong motioned him to look into the stove, and said, "Look."
The iron gradually burned red, and Lu Zhongming didn't know why, so he sat in a daze, watching Yu Chigong forge the iron.
"Have you ever struck iron?" Yu Chigong asked.
"No." Lu Zhongming replied regretfully.
Yuchi Gong said: "My master said that a human being is like a piece of iron, it cannot be made into a tool unless it is forged, and when it is forged, it is suffering."
Speaking of Yuchi Gong smiled at Lu Zhongming, Lu Zhongming suddenly felt moved, and said: "My father also said that a person is like a piece of jade, if you don't carve it, you can't make it."
Yu Chigong nodded, and Lu Zhongming said again: "But how to carve a piece of jade depends on the texture and texture of the jade itself. Not everyone can become a beautiful jade, more or less, there will always be flaws, if you blindly be cruel to yourself, you don't understand It is very easy to destroy yourself by following the principles of nature."
Yu Chigong nodded, and Lu Zhongming asked again: "Did you know how to blacksmith when you were young?"
"Yes." Yu Chigong said: "When I was young, I lived outside the Great Wall and forged iron. I learned it from Turks. I was taught by a master."
Lu Zhongming was a little surprised, Yu Chigong asked: "Do you know Turkic people?"
Lu Zhongming thought for a while and said, "I know that the Turks often invade the Central Plains, and they are a powerful force."
"Yes." Yu Chigong said: "Most people say that, they have killed many people from the Central Plains in these years..."
Lu Zhongming chatted with Yu Chigong, and suddenly realized that he came to find Yu Chigong and asked him to follow him, it didn't matter at all.On this snowy day, he couldn't stop wanting to chat with Yuchi Gongduo.After all, after coming to Chutang, it was the first time he had such an opportunity to get to know and understand someone.
No, it should be said that this was his first time since childhood.
When he was talking to Yu Chigong, Yu Chigong always looked into his eyes and smiled at him from time to time.
In the red light of the stove, Lu Zhongming gradually understood something.Finally, I know why I and Yu Chigong didn't always think on the same line at the beginning.
What he wanted was to recruit Yu Chigong and take him to do some business, but when Yu Chigong met him, he had a good impression of him, and his only thought was to make friends with him and chat with each other.
After figuring out this verse, Lu Zhongming suddenly felt it was funny, and felt quite warm in his heart, so he sat by the furnace and chatted without saying a word, holding a cup of tea.Yu Chigong told him that those days when he grew up outside the customs...
"What happened later?" Lu Zhongming frowned.
Yu Chigong said: "...Later Turks came into our village and captured many people. I learned blacksmithing from that Turkic master. In the past, they were forged by Rouran people, and their skills were very good. Later, they were captured by people from the Central Plains. I ran away, I had nowhere to go, so I packed my bed and came here."
"Do you remember your home?" Lu Zhongming asked.
"I can't find it." Yu Chigong smiled and said, "It's snowing outside the Great Wall. When I left that village, I wanted to go home and have a look. I walked on the grassland for more than a year, but I couldn't find it."
Yu Chigong said a few words lightly, but Lu Zhongming knew that he must have suffered a lot since he was a child.Wandering in troubled times, not only the people in the Central Plains are destitute, but even the ethnic groups outside the Great Wall are also living in turmoil.
"You can tell fortunes." Yu Chigong asked again: "Do you know when will everyone be able to live a good life?"
"Soon." Lu Zhongming said, "Less than 20 years."
Yuchi said with a smile, "You should be able to see it in your lifetime."
"Of course." Lu Zhongming said: "Everyone who is in it is a creator of history."
When Yu Chigong heard those words, he seemed to be moved, and when he wanted to ask Lu Zhongming what he wanted, someone outside knocked on the door.Lu Zhongming hurriedly looked up and found that it was Luo Shixin who had come.
Luo Shixin: "Don't you have lunch?"
Luo Shixin watched the two sitting together, Yu Chigong nodded to him and said, "Stay here for dinner?"
Lu Zhongming understood and stood up and respectfully said to Yuchi: "I'll go back first."
Yu Chigong nodded, wiped his hands with a dirty cloth, and sent the two of them out of the iron shop. Luo Shixin put Lu Zhongming on his shoulders and took him home.Before leaving, Lu Zhongming still couldn't help turning his head, mouthed to Yu Chigong, and smiled.Yu Chigong nodded knowingly, knowing that Lu Zhongming meant that he would come to him when he had time.
Xiaoxue was flying all over the sky, Luo Shixin walked in front of Lu Zhongming, Lu Zhongming lowered his head, and walked slowly against Xiaoxue.
"Thinking about Heitantou?" Luo Shixin asked.
"No." Lu Zhongming said with a smile, "I think of many things at once."
Luo Shixin raised his eyebrows again, and Lu Zhongming said what he was thinking: "How insignificant is the power of mortals? A lifetime is only a hundred years, and in troubled times, people often cannot control their own destiny and future, but everyone still works so hard. alive."
"So?" Ross asked.
Lu Zhongming shook his head, smiled, and said, "Yu Chigong is not a bad person, he is quite serious."
Luo Shixin mumbled casually, and Lu Zhongming told Luo Shixin what the two had talked about, and Luo Shixin said casually, "He's a man, but I don't like him."
Lu Zhongming was stunned and said, "Why?"
Luo Shixin: "My face is black."
Lu Zhongming: "..."
When they got home that day, Qin Qiong didn't ask any more questions, and the three of them went on as usual. After Lu Zhongming returned from Yu Chigong's place, as if awakened by his words, he began to gradually understand the mortal world and life of mortals.In the past, he always looked at these people living in this era from the perspective of a fairy, and he never felt that there was anything wrong.However, since he met Yu Chigong, he realized that he still has too much to learn and understand.
The next morning, the snow stopped.
Yu Chigong took the money, closed the door of the iron shop and went out, and walked towards the market. A group of Turkic people passed by the market, shouting something loudly.Yu Chigong was buying candied fruit in the market, and after hearing a few Turkic words, he became interested, put the candied fruit in his arms, turned his head to look, and followed.
Several Turks entered an alley, and Yu Chigong followed.
In the east of the city, there are two cowhide lanterns hanging in front of Lu Zhongming's house, with the character Luo on the left and the character Qin on the right.
It was three poles high in the sun, just as Lu Zhongming came out, Luo Shixin said, "Eat."
There was a bowl of clear porridge on the table, as well as sauced beef and various side dishes. Lu Zhongming thought it was earlier and went out to play with Yuchi Gong, but Luo Shixin got up earlier than him.
After breakfast, Lu Zhongming lay on the table, bored.
"I'll go for a walk." Lu Zhongming said.
"What's there to do? It's snowing, don't go out." Luo Shi said.
Lu Zhongming said: "Let me go—"
Luo Shixin said angrily: "The boots are dirty, I won't wash them for you."
Lu Zhongming said: "I wash it myself."
Luo Shixin: "I wash the clothes by myself? I also cook the meals by myself, and then I go wild outside. I don't cook for you."
Lu Zhongming: "..."
After leaving Xingyang, Lu Zhongming was taken care of by Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin along the way. Lu Zhongming didn't know how to wash or change clothes. It was Luo Shixin who rubbed in the yard every day with a wooden bucket and a washboard.When eating, Qin Qiong went to buy vegetables, and then cooked at home.
It's freezing cold, let Lu Zhongming wash his clothes and wash the dishes by himself, it will kill him!
Luo Shixin: "I burn the bath water myself."
These words completely crushed Lu Zhongming, and Lu Zhongming could only look at the two with bitter hatred, Luo Shi said: "I don't understand, why do you keep looking for that black charcoal? Others don't do business?"
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Yu Chigong: "Is Zhongming at home?"
Lu Zhongming's expression was like "Look, he doesn't do business". Luo Shixin really had nothing to do with him, but he looked at Lu Zhongming seriously, pointed at him, and pointed to the backyard, signaling him to get out.
Lu Zhongming showed a pleading expression.
Yu Chigong asked again: "Zhongming?"
Luo Shixin had a serious face, Lu Zhongming had no choice but to get up obediently, walked to the screen in the backyard, looked out from the crack, thinking that maybe Qin Qiong had something to ask Yu Chigong.
Unexpectedly, Luo Shixin opened the door and did not let Yu Chigong in, and said indifferently: "He went out."
Yuchi Gong looked inside, Qin Qiong said in the hall: "Come back tomorrow."
Yu Chigong looked at Qin Qiong, then at Luo Shixin, and asked with a smile, "Are you Zhongming's brother? You two look alike."
Luo Shixin: "?"
picture?Lu Zhongming was baffled, what did he look like?Do I look like Rossin?
"It's almost useless to get close." Luo Shixin looked at Yu Chigong, with an expression that strangers should not come close, you dare to touch me and beat your shit out, and said casually: "Go out and wait."
Yu Chigong also had a good temper, smiled, bowed his hands to Luo Shixin, stepped back a few steps, Luo Shixin closed the door and fastened the latch.
It's okay, it's okay, Luo Shixin didn't throw it when he closed the door, he was very polite.
Lu Zhongming came out from behind the screen, and Luo Shixin asked Qin Qiong: "Do I look alike to the little idiot?"
"Is the little fool talking about me!" Lu Zhongming roared tragically.Luo Shixin accidentally said the nicknames he and Qin Qiong had given to Lu Zhongming on weekdays, and the two immediately said: "Shh..." indicating that Yu Chigong is still outside, be careful not to be overheard
Lu Zhongming: "..."
Lu Zhongming said: "Am I very stupid?"
"No." Qin Qiong said, "Who said you're a dick? I'll beat him up for you."
Lu Zhongming always felt that he was being molested again, with an angry expression on his face, but Luo Shixin smiled unrestrainedly, put his arms around Lu Zhongming carelessly, and said to Qin Qiong: "Shubao, do you think we look alike?"
"The same two." Qin Qiong said: "I went to study."
Yu Chigong was probably still waiting outside, Qin Qiong was sitting on the stairs with a book in his hand, and Luo Shixin was playing with a knife in his hand, pouring himself a drink.
Lu Zhongming was like a displeased cockfighting rooster, who disliked everyone now, so Luo Shixin asked Lu Zhongming solemnly again, "Zhongming, do you think we look alike?"
Lu Zhongming looked at Luo Shixin for a while and said, "You look like my father."
Luo Shidao: "My dear son, be obedient."
Lu Zhongming was completely speechless, looking outside, Luo Shixin raised his eyes and glanced at him, Lu Zhongming also stared at him, looked at Luo Shixin, and suddenly found that this guy was indeed a bit like his father...not because he looked like him, but because he looked like what I said , you have to give me the look of what to do, very similar.
I thought that when I was on Jinao Island, I was always impatient with Lu Bu, but after I left his side, I missed him to death.Hey... Dad doesn't know what's going on now.
Lu Zhongming thought for a while, and started to deal with Luo Shixin the same way he used to deal with his father. First, he tapped on the side to find out about the military situation, to see if Luo Shixin and his father had similar logic, and asked, "Why don't you let me and my father Yuchi play."
Luo Shixin: "No reason. I don't like him."
Sure enough, even the answer is exactly the same!Lu Zhongming was secretly happy and said, "Let me go, I promise to come back soon."
Ross said: "No."
Lu Zhongming: "I opened the door, you look at it, we say, no more than ten sentences."
Luo Shixin: "No."
Lu Zhongming: "Five sentences? Three sentences? You have to give someone an explanation for breaking up the relationship. I'll tell him not to come to me again, okay?"
Luo Shixin had nothing to do with Lu Zhongming, and said impatiently, "What can I say?"
Lu Zhongming knew the deal was done, so he got up and went to open the door, Luo Shi said, "Did I nod my head?"
Lu Zhongming knew that if he continued to open the door, Luo Shixin would definitely not beat him up, so he dawdled and opened the door.However, Yuchi Gong had already left outside.
Qin Qiong: "Do you always use this trick to deal with your father?"
Lu Zhongming laughed, seeing it, and felt that Yu Chigong was quite pitiful. He didn't know where Luo Shixin was offended, but Qin Qiong didn't say anything, but Luo Shixin rejected Yu Chigong a little bit.
"Brother Luo, you are afraid that you will be deceived." Qin Qiong laughed.
Lu Zhongming said: "He won't."
"There are many liars in Xianbei." Luo Shixin said coldly: "You don't know, it's dangerous outside, you forgot, Yang Guang is still looking for us. That charcoal head is staring at you, with that look, he wants to eat you up What are you doing with him?"
Lu Zhongming knew that Luo Shixin loved him, but he really had a headache. How could he explain to him that Yu Chigong was not a bad person, but Luo Shixin's mind was full of shavings, so he didn't listen to him, so he was bored and went back to the backyard.
Luo Shixin: "Where are you going?"
Lu Zhongming: "Take a nap—"
Luo Shixin ignored him. When he returned to the backyard, he suddenly saw a person sitting on the wall and whistled at him. It was Yu Chigong.
Yuchi said with a smile, "Zhongming!"
Lu Zhongming laughed, and Yu Chigong waved: "Come on, come out! I'll take you for a stroll!"
Taking advantage of Luo Shixin's ignorance, Lu Zhongming climbed up the wall with his hands and feet, turned out of the yard, and slipped away.
After the snow had passed and the weather cleared, Yu Chigong changed into the buckskin pants, wolfskin jacket and hat that they had when they first met, and transformed into a Xianbei handsome man without a trace of being a blacksmith.
Lu Zhongming said, "Why are you here?"
Yuchi Gong said: "I want to talk to you."
Yu Chigong led Lu Zhongming out from the alley, today is the day for going to the market.The market was bustling and lively, and the two stood on one side of the market, looking at the foxes brought by the hunters for sale at Yanmenguan.Lu Zhongming felt a little unreal about this scene, as if all the disputes and troubles were far away from him.
However, Yu Chigong seemed to have something on his mind, pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, then looked at Lu Zhongming, Lu Zhongming noticed the clue, and asked: "Speak up if you have something to say."
Yu Chigong seemed to be heartbroken, and said, "Come with me."
The two turned into another alley, and the smell of wine came from the deep alley. Yu Chigong was worried all the way, and pushed open the back door of the winery to go in. Lu Zhongming suddenly saw two Turkic people who were drunk like mud.
Lu Zhongming vaguely sensed something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"
Yu Chigong said in a low voice: "Early this morning, I came here to bring you some wine, and I met three Turkic men discussing things inside."
Lu Zhongming stepped forward to examine the two Turkic men, saw that his face was flushed and smelled of alcohol, and he said: "The clothes and trousers are full of alcohol. A drunk unconscious person will vomit after drooling, because you knocked him unconscious. Just pour it all over."
Yu Chi Gong hummed, and Lu Zhongming said again: "Is there another one?"
Yu Chigong looked at Lu Zhongming and remained silent.
Lu Zhongming thought about it for a second, and asked: "What plan does the Turkic have? Are they going to rob at Yanmen Pass? Or do they want to occupy the city?"
Yuchi Gong said: "How do you know?"
Lu Zhongming smiled and said: "You said there were three people, but there are only two here, and the other one couldn't have escaped, otherwise your expression must not be so calm. It is probably because after discussing the matter, one left, and the other two are here to respond."
Yuchi Gong nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Zhongming recalled Yu Chigong's background, and asked in a low voice: "They speak Turkic? You understand, right, what did they say?"
Yuchi Gong said: "Yanmen is closed for the winter festival, the market is open, they want to come in and rob."
Lu Zhongming asked in surprise: "The exact time? When?"
Yuchi Gong said: "From tomorrow night to the day after tomorrow, I didn't hear it very clearly. Now the Turkic soldiers are all lurking outside."
Lu Zhongming said: "Where is the ambush?"
Yuchi Gong said: "It seems to be the Great Wall under the Yanmen Mountain, half a month ahead."
Lu Zhongming: "How many people are there?"
Yu Chigong hesitated, shook his head, and said: "This matter is not easy to handle, there are too few guards, and most of them are guarding the pass in the north... I want to tell everyone in the city to be prepared, but I am a blacksmith, and what others say You may not believe it, you are a famous fortune teller..."
Lu Zhongming thought &%¥#@... What is the reason for this? Feelings are already a magic stick in Yuchigong's eyes. The two looked at each other. Lu Zhongming knew that Yuchigong wanted him to go door-to-door to warn them, telling them to come There will be troubles, and all households should be careful not to go out... But how can this be done?So he couldn't laugh or cry: "As the end of the year approaches, there are too many merchants coming and going, and it's useless to hide. Who will have the final say on the guards at the Yanmen Pass?"
"The order of Jinyang is Master Liu Wenjing." Yuchi said respectfully, "But his soldiers are all in Shangdang."
Lu Zhongming said: "It takes at least three days to go back and forth, it's too late."
Yu Chigong's eyebrows and eyes were very anxious, Lu Zhongming knew that such a big matter could not be taken care of by himself, so he held Yuchi Gong's hand and said, "Go back to my house to discuss, let's go."
Yu Chigong's big hand was warm, he hesitated for a while, then grabbed Lu Zhongming's hand, Yu Chigong said: "Here!"
As he said that, he took Lu Zhongming directly over the wall, turned a few alleys, and then turned back to the east of the city. Lu Zhongming was about to enter the hall when he heard the voice of a strange man talking with Qin Qiong.
Yuchi Gong: "Any guests?"
Lu Zhongming waved his hand lightly and stood outside the door listening.
In the hall, Luo Shixin was sitting idly, with a black robe tied up indiscriminately, while Qin Qiong was receiving guests. A refined man sat in front of Qin Qiong, and behind him stood guards dressed as warriors.
"There is no need to mention the past." Qin Qiong thought for a long time, and then said: "Hiding his name and living in Yanmen Pass, he just doesn't want to fight anymore."
Luo Shixin said again: "Everyone has his own aspirations, why force him?"
The man was not upset, he smiled and said: "General Luo's words are true, and I will tell you when I go back next time. When Mr. Lu comes back..."
Luo Shi said: "It's okay, just stay and have a glass of wine."
At this moment, Lu Zhongming opened the door and went in, and met the man face to face.I saw the man's face was like a crown of jade, with two tassels hanging in front of his temples, his brows were handsome, his eyes were bright, but he was very young, Lu Zhongming usually saw rough men, it was rare to see such a handsome young man suddenly, Can't help but smile.
"Are you back?" Luo Shixin said lazily, and gave Yu Chigong a look by the way.
"I'm back." Lu Zhongming bowed his hands to the guests first, and said with a smile, "Huh? How old is this year, little brother?"
The man didn't expect Lu Zhongming to be so young, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Fifteen, what about you?"
"I'm also fifteen." Lu Zhongming said happily, "My birthday is at the end of June, how about you?"
The man got up and said cheerfully, "I'm February, I was one year old when I was cheated, and I'm Li Ji, what's the name of my little brother?"
"Lv Zhongming." Lu Zhongming smiled and cupped hands with Li Ji.
"Cough!" Luo Shixin coughed.
Lu Zhongming sat down awkwardly, Li Ji just wanted to say something, but Lu Zhongming said to Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong: "The Turkic people have attacked outside the house, and they are expected to enter the city tomorrow night to loot."
"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. They didn't expect that Lu Zhongming would release such a shocking news as soon as he came. Even Luo Shixin didn't care to chase them away. He frowned and said, "How do you know? Where is the ambush?" ?”
Yu Chigong glanced at everyone, and Qin Qiong noticed that he was here too, and motioned him to sit down, and Yuchi Gong told everyone the news that he had overheard today. Following Yu Chigong's explanation, several people's faces became more serious .For a while, everyone in the hall stopped being polite and felt very dangerous.
Lu Zhongming said: "Turks entered the customs and robbed them. They have existed since ancient times. It is impossible to prevent them, and it is impossible to wipe them all out in one battle. We must find a way to minimize the casualties of the people in the city."
Li Ji nodded and said: "The soldiers at the Yanmen Gate only listen to Wang Wei, the deputy left behind. The Sui army's military system is too big, it is difficult to protect the people, and its combat power is not as good as the Turkic people..."
Qin Qiong said, "How did the Yanmen Gate defend against the Turks before?"
"I'm ashamed to say it." Li Ji said to Qin Qiong: "The ones resisting the Turkic soldiers are a rebel army, and the leader's name is Li Shanfei."
As soon as the words came out, several people knew it in their hearts. There used to be a peasant rebel army in Bingzhou. The Sui army was incompetent. Instead, they relied on the rebels to protect several important areas. People can already drive straight into it.
Luo Shixin was silent, several people looked at Luo Shixin's warm wine for a while, and the hot water was steaming.
Li Ji smiled gently, looked at Lu Zhongming, and asked, "Are you going to attack the camp?"
Lu Zhongming had a good impression of him, and felt that he was very polite and polite, giving him a feeling of spring breeze.Seeing that the guard beside him seemed to be quite skilled, he joked, "You want to go too?"
Li Ji turned his head and said to the guard: "How about we go with Mr. Lu, General Qin and General Luo to meet the Turkic people?"
The guard just nodded silently and said nothing.
Luo Shixin said to Li Ji: "You guys better not wade into this muddy water, go back first."
"The troops are divided into two groups." Lu Zhongming said, "Does Brother Li know Liu Wenjing? Liu Wenjing's side, please Brother Li."
Although Lu Zhongming didn't know Li Ji's origin, but from his aura, he knew that he was probably a son of an official of the Sui family. Sure enough, he guessed right. If you are interested, please write a letter, and I will go there in person. Save the wine for now, and drink it in the future."
Lu Zhongming happily said, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Li."
Qin Qiong went back to the room to get the brush and ink, Lu Zhongming pondered for a moment, and wrote a letter, Li Ji looked at the calligraphy and said with a smile: "Good calligraphy!"
"It's ridiculous to be lazy in training on weekdays." Lu Zhongming said.
Li Ji didn't bother to ask any more about how to make arrangements in the future, and said: "The military situation is urgent, I'm going right away." After finishing speaking, several people got up and sent Li Ji to the door, and when they wanted to say goodbye, Li Ji said again: " I heard that Mr. has a song, and many people in the Yanmen Gate can already sing it..."
Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "It's all made up."
Li Ji looked at Lu Zhongming, winked at him, and said with a smile, "How long will you stay in Yanmen Pass, sir? Li is yearning for it, and I only hope that he can come to visit often."
Lu Zhongming said: "It will take a long time to come, let's talk about it in another day."
Li Ji said with a smile: "Heroes, there will be a time later."
After finishing speaking, Li Ji got on his horse and left, Lu Zhongming went back into the hall, and the four of them sat in a very awkward position.
Luo Shixin: "Did you sleep on the street?"
Lu Zhongming: "I... sleepwalked."
Qin Qiong couldn't bear to see him, but Yu Chigong smiled and said: "I came to find Zhongming, what should I say now?"
Yu Chigong reminded them with a word, and the two of them realized that the business was important. Lu Zhongming suddenly found that everyone was looking at him, and said inexplicably, "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Think of a way." Qin Qiong said: "Don't you have a lot of ghost ideas?"
The corners of Lu Zhongming's mouth twitched, racking his brains, thinking about the conversation just now. Li Ji left and went to deliver the letter. That is to say, Jinyang Commander Liu Wenjing will come to rescue him. Theoretically, it's not a big problem, but if he comes a little later, it will be very difficult. Dangerous... What is Li Ji's identity?
Lu Zhongming had a clue, and said first: "I'm not busy, let's sort things out first. How did Li Ji find this place?"
Luo Shixin replied: "He just asked about Xingyang. Yanmen can't live anymore, so he still has to move."
Lu Zhongming knew that the news of the three wanted was finally spread outside the Great Wall. Zhang Xutuo was defeated in the battle of Xingyang and must be held accountable. Li Ji must have some channels to know their identities.
"You really said that?" Lu Zhongming said with a smile: "Is there no tact?"
Qin Qiong said: "Whether to be euphemistic or not, the meaning is in the words. I would rather the people who come here speak more straightforwardly. He also said that his parents want to invite us over to chat, have a glass of wine, and meet again. Don't say who it is, I said if you want to see me, come in person."
"If you guessed right, Li Ji should be from Tang Guogong's mansion." Lu Zhongming said, "Do you remember my ballad? Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Western, Eastern Han, Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties..."
As soon as these words came out, several people's faces changed, and Qin Qiong murmured: "So that's what it means."
"Of course, it may also be someone who wants to investigate Li Yuan's rebellion." Lu Zhongming said: "If it is a political enemy, it is not surprising at all."
"It's really a political enemy." Luo Shi said, "We should be arrested first."
Lu Zhongming nodded, pondered for a while, and decided that Li Ji must belong to Tang Guogong Li Yuan's family, because in the ballad, the Empress Sui is "Tang", and only Li Yuan is worthy of this title.In the beginning, he taught the children this song in order to lure Li Yuan out.In this way, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, it is also possible that Li Yuan sent a subordinate to invite him.But Lu Zhongming didn't plan to go as soon as he was invited, and now was not the time to go.
Yuchi respectfully said, "How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"
"You can't pin your hopes entirely on the reinforcements." Lu Zhongming said: "Since the Turks are in ambush at the foot of Yanmen Mountain, let's meet them for a while."
Luo Shixin said with a ruffian smile, "That's exactly what I mean."
Qin Qiong said: "If you haven't fought for a few months, if you don't find something to do, you will get rusty."
Yuchi Gong's expression changed: "The other party has at least a few hundred people!"
Lu Zhongming said: "They are in the dark, we are in the light, what are we afraid of?"
Yuchi Gong frowned and said, "I just want the people in the city to hide."
"There's nowhere to hide." Lu Zhongming said, "Let's go."
As soon as the words came out, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong went upstairs to get weapons, Yuchi respectfully said: "There is no horse, walk over there?"
"We have horses." Lu Zhongming took the longbow thrown by Qin Qiong, put it on his back, and when he was about to go out, Yu Chigong said again: "Don't go, listen to me, Turks outside the Great Wall are bloodthirsty, it's too dangerous. Me and your brother Let's go."
Both Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin couldn't help laughing, Yu Chigong looked at them puzzled.
"I... I'm not very good at fighting." Lu Zhongming said: "I can still shoot arrows, and I can protect myself."
Yu Chigong insisted: "No, it's enough for me to go."
Lu Zhongming: "Then we have a horse?"
Yuchi said respectfully, "No need, I have one."
Qin Qiong said: "Zhongming, you will take care of Brother Yuchi later."
Lu Zhongming hummed and nodded, Yu Chi Gong saw that he couldn't stop him and said, "Wait for me a while."
Luo Shixin brought three horses. The war horses hadn't been out for several months, and they were fat and strong. He asked, "Four people, three horses, how do we ride? Don't wait for him."
Qin Qiong said: "It should be to go back and lead the horse."
The three of them stood outside the back door for a while, when they saw Yu Chigong leading three mules, they immediately fell down together.
