National teacher help

Yu Chigong didn't come that day, and the three of them lived as usual, as if yesterday's bloody killing was just a boring pastime, but the tragic situation of the beheaded prisoner always happened again and again. Three places appeared in front of Lu Zhongming.

Another day later, one day Qin Qiong came back with a small jar of wine and said, "Gongrang Yuchi brought it to you."

Lu Zhongming opened it and saw plum wine soaked in candied fruit inside. He said unexpectedly, "How did he know that I like to drink this?"

Luo Shixin smelled the aroma of wine and said, "Good wine!"

"Yes." Qin Qiong said: "How did he know that you like to drink this?"

More than just like it?Lu Zhongming simply loves to drink!He has been addicted to plum wine since he was a child. In the back mountain of Jin'ao Island, there are green plums every year, and they are all fairy fruits. Whenever the plums are yellow, Qilin will brew some plum wine.In the spring of next year, when the island was full of peach blossoms, Lu Bu would drink warm plum wine while teaching Xiao Zhongming how to read, and occasionally would give Lu Zhongming a drink.

This is not a question of whether you like to drink or not, but what Lu Zhongming remembers, the taste of home.

When he smelled the aroma of wine, Lu Zhongming almost cried. He never told anyone, not even Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin.

"I really never said it." Lu Zhongming thought of his father. It had been half a year since he left, and he didn't know when he would be able to go back.

Luo Shixin saw that Lu Zhongming's expression was a bit wrong, thought he had poked him somewhere, and hurriedly said: "I believe you didn't say, bring the bowl."

"Maybe it happened." Qin Qiong said with a smile: "What's wrong with you? Something's not quite right these days."

Lu Zhongming changed his mouth casually, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. Although Xianniang was very different from Fantang, he still couldn't help being homesick, and his heart was so blocked that he couldn't get rid of it for a while.Another day later, Lu Zhongming lay lazily on the bed, facing the wall, alone, feeling homesick.

He wants to sleep, he can dream when he sleeps, and he can go home in the dream.But I couldn't sleep again, it was really helpless.

"What's wrong?" Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin came in, and they touched Lu Zhongming's forehead.

"I'm not feeling well." Lu Zhongming moaned.

Qin Qiong asked: "What's uncomfortable?"

Lu Zhongming: "I feel uncomfortable all over my body."

Qin Qiong: "Don't you know how to see a doctor? You don't know what's wrong with you?"

Lu Zhongming: "I have insomnia..."

Luo Shixin: "You sleep too much. You lie in bed for ten hours a day. Only when you can sleep will there be ghosts! Get up!"

Luo Shixin picked up Lu Zhongming, wrapped it in his clothes, threw him into the yard, threw the bow to him, and said, "Shoot an arrow."

Lu Zhongming lazily drew his bow, shot the arrow crookedly at the target next door, and even hit the heart.

"I'll go for a walk." Lu Zhongming said weakly.

"Alright." Qin Qiong said.

"Come back before dinner." Luo Shixin reminded.

"Understood..." Lu Zhongming floated out limply, thinking that the wine that Yu Chigong gave was probably poisonous, otherwise he would be so soft after drinking it.

As soon as he came out, the sun was shining brightly, and Lu Zhongming was a little bit melted again.There were two snowmen piled up on the side of the road, holding hands, Lu Zhongming always felt an indescribable feeling.

Is this what is sung over and over in countless poems, loneliness and emptiness?

"When is the spring flower and autumn moon..." Lu Zhongming couldn't help but said with emotion. He turned his head and looked around, and found that the city seemed a little different today. Sui soldiers were knocking on doors from door to door, as if they were asking for something.

What is this doing?Lu Zhongming's brain was blank, like a snow field illuminated by the sun. He walked through the long street and didn't know where to go when he came out. Yuchi Gong's blacksmith shop.

It has been three full days since we met, Yu Chigong seemed to have forgotten him, but as soon as Lu Zhongming walked in, he saw Yu Chigong was shirtless, sweating, wearing only a pair of loose white underpants, and his bronze skin was full of robustness. beauty.

What's worse, Yu Chigong's trousers were already thin, and it felt as if he hadn't worn them.Lu Zhongming was a little uncomfortable, but Yu Chigong already knew that he was coming, and without turning his head back smiled, he said: "Finally here?"

Lu Zhongming said: "What have you been doing these days? Why don't you come to me."

Yu Chigong put the weapon in his hand into the furnace, and said solemnly: "If I don't look for you, you can't come to me?"

Lu Zhongming suddenly laughed, and said: "Qingqing Zijin, take my heart, even if I don't go, Zining won't come?"

Yuchi Gong: "?"

Lu Zhongming waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, Han poetry."

Yuchi said with a smile, "It sounds good."

"Is this for me?" Lu Zhongming looked at the bow in the furnace, Yu Chigong nodded, both of them fell silent, staring at the calcined iron bow.

"Not heavy." Yuchi Gong said: "When you hold it in your hand, you will feel that it is very light."

Lu Zhongming nodded. Although he was not familiar with forging techniques, he knew that Yu Chigong must have put great effort into making this longbow. The bow is covered with fine scale patterns, which is obviously made through thousands of hammers.

"How does the wine taste?" Yuchi Gong smiled at Lu Zhongming.Lu Zhongming remembered and asked, "How do you know that I like drinking plum wine?"

"Do you like to drink plum wine?" Yuchi Gong said, "I also like to drink it. The wine was given by your friend, and the plums were bought by me."

Lu Zhongming: "Friend?"

Just as Yuchi Gong was about to answer, there was a commotion outside the door.As if someone was causing trouble, Lu Zhongming immediately got up alert, and Yu Chi respectfully said: "Don't go out, I'll go and have a look."

A Sui soldier came in, raised his foot and kicked over the iron bucket filled with water. Lu Zhongming said angrily, "What are you doing!"

The Sui soldier glared at Lu Zhongming, wanting to come over to trouble him, Yu Chigong hurriedly protected Lu Zhongming, and said: "Master Jun has something to say, my younger brother is not sensible..."

When Lu Zhongming saw that there was only one person, he wanted to do something, beat him up and tied him up, but then several Sui soldiers entered the alley and shouted: "Come out! Get out!"

While talking, the soldiers pushed and pushed Yu Chigong, Yu Chigong signaled not to act rashly, so he followed out, and then winked at Lu Zhongming to signal him not to do anything.

Lu Zhongming had no choice but to go out, not knowing why the Sui soldiers came to the door in this snowy day, presumably not looking for himself, but looking for bad luck for the residents in this alley.

The snow had stopped outside, a group of Sui soldiers, a total of 15 people, drove people out from every house and made everyone stand in a line on the snow.

Most of the people who were driven out were old and young, women and children, anxious and uneasy, and some Sui soldiers rummaged through boxes and boxes, entered the houses, and directly moved the people's money and food out.

Someone entered the iron shop, rummaged through it, the copper coins jingled, Yuchi Gong's wooden box was overturned by the Sui soldiers, and all the copper coins were taken away.

Lu Zhongming: "..."

Lu Zhongming was furious, how could this be an officer?They are clearly a group of lawless robbers!

"What do you do?" Sui Bing asked.

"Master Jun, I do laundry for people in the west of the city for a living..."

The woman who was asked had red hands and was embarrassed. An old woman begged: "Master Jun, there are no more men in our family..."

Oops, are you trying to pull a strong man?

Lu Zhongming's heart was full of wind and snow, and he burst into tears. Before he could say goodbye to Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong, his small body was taken away by Sui soldiers, and he went through a series of horrific torture scenes...

"What do you do?" The Sui soldier held a whip against a woman.

Lu Zhongming whispered to Yu Chigong: "I will do it later, get on my horse and lead them away..."

Yu Chigong said in a low voice: "Zhongming, don't be impulsive, these are not local soldiers. And you don't have a bow and arrow with you."

Lu Zhongming said with a sullen face: "Don't be afraid, you protect them and leave the rest to me."

Lu Zhongming came up with a plan in his mind. He didn't need to inform Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong. If he got on his horse and ran away, the Sui soldiers would definitely come after him. He would bend his bow and mount an arrow, and while he was galloping on his horse, it would be enough to lead people all the way out of the city, and then shoot them one by one.

Sui soldiers may not be guilty of death, but it is okay to abolish them or teach them a lesson.These Sui soldiers were obviously from other places. If they were local officers and soldiers, they shouldn't have come to arrest them in a snowy day.

"What do you do?" Sui Bing asked.

"A villain is a blacksmith." Yu Chigong was shirtless, standing in the snow with bare feet.

Sui Bing nodded Lu Zhongming with his horsewhip: "What about you?"

"Fortune teller." Lu Zhongming said.

"The fortune teller is in the blacksmith's shop?" Sui Bing Captain asked.

Lu Zhongming said: "It's cold, come and have a few drinks with Brother Yuchi."

"Team upright!" A Sui soldier came out of the iron shop and threw a pile of rough swords and swords on the ground.

"A few months ago, there was an imperial convict who escaped to the gate of Yanmen." The Sui army said rightly, "Have you seen it?"

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and showed it to the common people one by one. The common people shook their heads one by one. Lu Zhongming was startled, thinking that Yang Guang's arrest warrant was still here? !I won't stop.

Since the defeat in the first battle of Xingyang, Lu Zhongming never mentioned his name to the outside world, only said that his surname was Lu.How did you find out?

When asked about Yu Chigong, Yu Chigong took a look and said, "No."

The team is showing it to Lu Zhongming again, and put the paper in front of Lu Zhongming.

Lu Zhongming looked at the piece of paper and thought ￥#@%... Nima, what is this... Is this the young master? !

The portrait on the paper was drawn in a mess, with all the facial features crowded together, the black bun on the head, like a pile of poop, and two words written next to it... huh?Not his wanted warrant?

The man's face was full of flesh and blood, with a fierce look on his face, and it was written on the side: Li Jing.

Suddenly Yu Chigong's big hand gently grasped Lu Zhongming's hand, his hand was covered with sweat, he pinched it slightly.

Lu Zhongming was puzzled, what do you mean?Tell yourself not to say it?I had never seen this person before.

"I haven't seen it." Lu Zhongming replied.

The Sui soldier sized up a row of people, and finally his eyes rested on Yuchi Gong's face, and said, "You, know how to forge iron?"

Yuchi Gong nodded and said, "Yes."

Captain Sui Bing: "Pack up your things, take your bedding with you, and come to the barracks to report tonight...Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, all the soldiers got on their horses and left the alley.

Lu Zhongming was stunned, the people in the alley looked at Yu Chigong with complicated thoughts, some people bowed their hands to him, and an old woman stepped forward and said with concern: "Jingde..."

"It's okay." Yu Chigong said to them: "I'll take my friend back first, Zhong Ming, you wait for me here for a while."

Saying that Bi Yuchigong was going back and put on his jacket, Lu Zhongming was speechless for a while, so Yuchigong said, "Let's go."

The snow fell heavily on the ground, the sky is very dark today, in the morning, the city felt like evening, groggy, Lu Zhongming hadn't seen La Zhuangding yet, so he wondered if Yu Chigong should be sent to join the army?

"This is..." Lu Zhongming said in surprise.

Yuchi Gong said: "Fortunately you didn't tell him about Li Jing."

"Who is Li Jing?" Lu Zhongming asked.

Yuchi Gong was surprised and said: "You don't know? Li Jing is the one who asked you to tell your fate last time. He killed someone in the army and escaped all the way."

Lu Zhongming was shocked immediately, thinking of the young general, and asked, "It's him? How do you know?"

Yuchi Gong said: "He came to my shop to strike iron."

Only then did Lu Zhongming understand, and asked again: "Did the Sui soldiers ask you to join the army?"

Yu Chigong nodded without saying a word, looked at Lu Zhongming with a complicated expression, and said, "I'm leaving tonight. You... take care."

Without even thinking about it, Lu Zhongming said, "Don't go."

Are you kidding me, I finally found Yu Chigong, and after only a few days of knowing each other, I want to watch him join the army?Lu Zhongming thought of Yu Chigong's life experience that he had read, and suddenly realized that it was indeed the case. Yu Chigong used to be an officer and soldier and made great achievements in battle, and then he joined Li Shimin...

Lu Zhongming stopped, and the two stood on the snowy street. It was extremely cold. He rubbed his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Chigong then took off his hat and handed it to Lu Zhongming to warm his hands.At that moment, Lu Zhongming suddenly had a strange feeling.

Lu Zhongming: "You..."

Yu Chigong hesitated and said, "You..."

Lu Zhongming: "You speak first."

Yuchi smiled and said: "You talk first, it's still a long time, so we'll leave at night."

Lu Zhongming said seriously: "Don't go, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Chigong said: "If you don't go, you can't do it. In Santou Alley, they are all counted together. If I don't go, everyone in the neighborhood will be punished."

While talking, there was another alley not far away, and the residents were driven out by officers and soldiers. The same process was followed by questioning one by one with the arrest warrant, and finally a young man was pulled out and said a few words.

Lu Zhongming and Yu Chigong watched from a distance, and did not speak for a long while.

Yuchi Gong said: "Didn't you say that I will become a great success in the future, and my future is limitless? I always fail like this, so I have to find a way out."

Lu Zhongming didn't know how to answer for a moment, he only felt that Yu Chigong had a strange concern for him.He wanted to ask Yu Chigong a lot of questions, but he didn't expect such a question to come out.

The two were silent for a moment, Yu Chigong smiled again, and said: "Your two brothers are both good fighters. To be honest, I had this idea when I fought side by side with you that day. Look, I don't know anything. , can only swing a hammer to forge iron, a person cannot forge iron for a lifetime."

"Everyone has their own aspirations." Lu Zhongming suddenly said, "It's okay to be a mortal all your life."

"But I don't want to." Yuchi Gong said: "I want to go to Tiance Cavalry."

Lu Zhongming said: "With your skill, it's easy to enter Tiance Iron Cavalry. I'll write a letter and you go to Li Ji."

Yuchi Gong waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary."

Lu Zhongming looked at Yu Chigong, Yu Chigong said: "I'm going to join the army, I can do it by myself."

Others were afraid of being recruited, but Yu Chigong rushed to join the army. Lu Zhongming really had nothing to do with him, but he also understood Yu Chigong's mood. He wanted to hone himself. The experience of fighting awakened his inner ambition.

"Will I see you again in the future?" Yuchi asked respectfully.

"Yes." Lu Zhongming said, "It will definitely be possible."

Yuchi Gong smiled, Lu Zhongming said: "Which team and place are you going to?"

Yu Chigong thought for a while and said, "I don't know yet. After I settle down, I'll ask someone to bring you a letter. Will you live in Bingzhou?"

Lu Zhongming pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for me a while."

Lu Zhongming walked away, stood behind the courtyard wall, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the swastika on his neck shone slightly.At that moment, with a buzzing sound, he became dizzy again, and every time he summoned his strength to break through this rune, he would have a splitting headache.

This time, he tried his best to overcome the seal of the rune and mobilized all his strength. Although he couldn't use the magic, he made his real body covered with scales appear on his arm.Then he gritted his teeth and pulled a piece off.

The moment the scales were torn off, Lu Zhongming burst into tears in pain, shouting in his heart, "Oh my god, why does it hurt so much!"When the father pulled the scales, his face was paralyzed, and he didn't respond at all!

"Huh...huh..." It took Lu Zhongming a while to recover, and he returned to Yu Chigong and gave him the scales.

"What is this?" Yuchi Gong looked at the golden unicorn scale in surprise.

Lu Zhongming said: "Bring it on me, I'll send it off to you."

Yuchi Gong didn't know the function of this thing, so he put it away.

"There will be a period later." Yuchi said respectfully.

"There will be a period later." Lu Zhongming whispered.

Lu Zhongming turned and left. This time, Yu Chigong didn't see him off, but just looked at him from afar.

He took out the scale, looked at it in the palm of his hand, and carefully stroked it with his fingers. When he turned to go back to the iron shop, another person turned around the corner, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, and looked at him from the beginning. Look to the feet.

Yu Chigong looked at Qin Qiong who suddenly appeared, but didn't speak.

"General Yuchi." Qin Qiong said coldly, "How long do you want to lie to my little brother?"

Yu Chigong's complexion changed, then he smiled helplessly, cupped his fists and said, "I made a mistake, how did you see it?"

Qin Qiong: "The blacksmith shop is well-informed. Outside and inside the pass, warriors repair weapons and fight weapons here. Luo Cheng can see that you are a good general, and you can easily reveal your secrets by pretending to be anything. You can only pretend to be a blacksmith and go undercover here. Everyone There will be no doubt."

Yu Chigong pondered, nodded, and replied: "To tell the truth, brother, respecting virtue is indeed a heavy responsibility."

"Your task is to monitor the movements of the Turks?" Qin Qiong raised his eyes and said, "There should be a lot of your eyes in the city, right?"
