Qingzhou trip

Lu Jinhua and Li Suyue rested and waited until Haishi, thinking that Yun Bailu's medicine should pass.Getting up and coming to her, seeing that she was still sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, she turned to Li Suyue and said, "Yue Niang, let's go. She won't die in Lutan alone."

The apprentice glanced at Yun Bailu, then raised his eyebrows, "There are wolves."

"This little beast is clever, and it will wake up after one bite." Lu Jinhua got up and led the horse, and the people behind him "woke up" in time, rubbed their eyes, and then pretended to be surprised, "Hua Niang?" Yun Bailu woke up early For a while, I have eavesdropped on the movement for a while.

"You called Hua Niang too? I think those slaps were for nothing last time." Lu Jinhua leaned on the horse, "I wonder why I lay down in Lutan until it was dark?"

Yun Bailu jumped off the rock, put away the lamb fur under her body and folded it up, "Yueniang wants me to lie down, so I don't worry." After listening for a long time, she guessed that it was something about murder and robbery, and she didn't want to hear it herself.After finishing speaking, he cast a wink at Li Suyue, "I'm not cold, you should put it on."

Li Suyue felt guilty when she gave someone medicine, but she was even more embarrassed when she saw that Yun Bailu didn't seem to be in a hurry, so she took the lamb fur and put it on Lu Jinhua, "Master said to take us back to the village."

"Hey." Yun Bailu went to lead the horse, then sat on the horse happily and waited for the master and apprentice to leave.

"Happy smiles are all over the face, not at all...", not at all as deep and steady as Bai Zhi.Lu Jinhua turned his eyes to Yun Bailu, and after getting on his horse, he galloped upright, followed by Li Suyue and the others.It was so fast that Yun Bailu didn't even have time to ask, "Which village are you going to? When will you be back?"

When the sky was about to dawn, they arrived at the border of Sizhai where the Deshun Army was stationed. The road ahead was rough and difficult to walk. Lu Jinhua patted the horse's head and said, "Let's rest for a while and then go on the road."

Li Suyue let Wudou and Lu Jinhua's horses grind side by side, and after giving the master food and water on the ground, he sat aside.Looking at the Longshan Mountains and the ravines in the distance, Yun Bailu couldn't help sighing, "Could it be possible to go to Longgan City?"

"No, it's not Longde Village, Jingbian Village or Desheng Village. Do you think I'm still a member of the Baosheng Army? I'm a horse bandit leader." Lu Jinhua chewed the dry bread and jerky, and gave Li Suyue winked, meaning to ask the apprentice to explain.

Long Shan looks close, but in fact the road is still far away.This mountain is the boundary, and it is the Deshun Army who built trenches and villages in the west.And on the east side of this mountain is the Zhenrong army that escorts grain and grass and guards the grain road.The Baosheng Army run by several generations of the Bai family is far away from the north of Longshan Mountain and closer to the desert.If the Northern Xia people want to invade the south, taking the sand sea is the best strategy, but it is much more difficult to take the four villages in Longshan.

"Because of these trenches, the battle is a frontier trench, and the enemy's cavalry cannot flatten the river. Peace is a land for farming." Yun Bailu explained to Li Suyue, "My mother said that the Northern Xia people could not defeat Longshan , we can only use Shahai’s idea. When Shahai is sharpened, it will be a knife stuck to their throats. If Shahai can’t keep it, it will be the stirrups of the Beixia people.” The mother’s words suddenly came out of her heart, as if she was still there. As he said a few days ago, Yun Bailu's eyes turned hot, "When my mother is here, Shahai is still a knife."

"It's hard to say now." Li Suyue said softly, "The village we're going to hides on the side of Longshan Mountain, but there are only a few thousand people, half... half of them left the Shahai with the master back then."

Yun Bailu's intelligent eyes flickered, and he quickly understood the cause and effect, "You too?"

"Well. I can't let go of Shancui. The master also needs an eyeliner for Zoumashahai and Manguan. There are also other places. Last time you were trapped in Manguan. Fortunately, the eyeliner in Yanzhou informed the master. They happened to be there at that time You did not go back to the village while cruising on the commercial road." Li Suyue looked at Yun Bailu and still couldn't hold back, "I prescribed medicine...you didn't notice it?"

"You can tell something is wrong when you smell the wine." Yun Bailu smiled, "But Yueniang wants me to drink, you have a reason."

"What if she sells you or kills you?" Lu Jinhua's sneer came from behind.

Yun Bailu turned around and sat beside her, "No. Why do you want to kill me and sell me today? I sleep next to Yue Niang's house all day long. If she wants to do something, she won't be able to do it one day? Hey, you don't want me to call you Hua Niang, I will call you Auntie How is it?" Mother's relatives, there is always a lot of friendship.

Unexpectedly, the hot face was cast a cold stare, "You have a good idea, and I am so poor that I can be your little daddy's little girl?"

Where did this come from?Yun Bailu was stunned for a moment, "Then... there must be a title, right?"

"Master Lu is fine." Lu Jin whited her, and the three of them talked for a while.At this time, the sky appeared, and the orange sun appeared on the other side of the mountain. The whole body of Longshan Mountain seemed to be covered with white gauze, and the deep black mountain body lay motionless on the border.

Li Suyue looked at the sun, and Yun Bailu looked at the top of the mountain.Lu Jinhua looked at Tianwai, and seemed to be looking at Tianwaitian too.

"I was born on horseback and grew up on horseback. When I was ten years old, I went out to grab goods with my parents, uncles and elder brothers. Grain from the west, fur from the north, merchants, official silver or old coins, I touched all kinds of money.

"When I was 15 years old, my father was recruited, and he went to Shahai this way. I changed from a horse thief to a Baosheng army. I started from a hundred households and was promoted to a general in one year." Lu Jin Hua muttered about the old days, and couldn't help but smile when thinking of Bai Zhi, "Later, he became a horse thief from a general." If that person knew what expression he had, he would have frowned in anger, and had no choice but to think of something to do for himself. Cross the sea.

Lu Jinhua coughed, covered her mouth and pressed it down, then grunted and glanced at Yun Bailu, "The medicine you prescribed is for a bird."

"I have a heron in my name, and the prescription is bird medicine, of course it works for birds." Yun Bailu spoke plausibly, and pressed his fingers to Lu Jinhua's mouth. After listening to it, his brows sank, "You still come out like this, isn't this a joke? ?” Her serious expression coincided with Bai Zhi in Lu Jinhua’s memory, and Lu Jinhua was also startled, and withdrew her hand, “My fate is hard.”

After getting up, she stepped on the soil under her feet, and suddenly laughed to herself.

"Master?" Li Suyue asked her with concern, "Do you want to rest for a while?"

"I won't stop. I walked through this land when I was 15 years old, and I walked back when I was [-] this year. Her mother abducted me out of the village, and I abducted her daughter back. I am sorry for the retribution." Lu Jinhua sighed and looked at it seriously. Yun Bailu, "Baoshengzhai is a horse thief in name, but it only robs Beixia, does not harass the people and does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. When you are busy, you are a farmer. After you go, you have to take care of that paper prince in the future." Shut up. This is your mother's property, and you will have to carry half of it sooner or later."

Yun Bailu was dumbfounded, "My mother never said that she joined horse thieves and bandits."

"I can't help her." Lu Jinhua flicked the whip in the air, folded it in his hand and pulled it again, "Her people, her generals, the silver she gave back then, and even the name belonged to her Bai family. You say Did she join the gang? The daughter inherited her mother's career, Yun Bailu, I took you to Baoshengzhai this time, just to give you a solid foundation. Don't be driven back from the border of Xiliao to Shasha like a lost dog If you don’t want to leave Shahai and enter Baoshengzhai.”

If you have the guts, you can eat from bandits, if you have great ability, you can eat from the court, if you have great ambition, you can find food by yourself.Bai Zhi's words to Lu Jinhua back then were only fulfilled one-third of the time.

"I...I can only see a doctor." Yun Bailu sighed, "Besides, being a horse thief is a business with a head on, and it is not safe." But Yueniang is a horse thief, and she is happy to be with her, even if it is for her. It is also good for people to take pulse and see a doctor.

"Do you think it's safe to be a servant in the palace, or if you treat your father as the marshal of the Baosheng Army? Or do you think that Jin Wang Zhao Yifang is also safe?" Lu Jinhua shook his head, "Let's go."

The three of them rode horses around the eyeliner of Sizhai to Longshan Mountain, and they arrived at Baosheng Village after spending three days in the open.It is said to be a "village", without a city or a gate, just like a village gathered at the bottom of a square valley.Lu Jinhua didn't have the prestige of the village owner at all. He greeted an old farmer who was resting by the roadside, and along the way, he met some Orion farmers who didn't even have the aura of a soldier.

"Master Lu is really approachable." Yun Bailu talked to Li Suyue, flattering Lu Jinhua.

Unexpectedly, Li Suyue gave her a look to tell her to shut up, and told her not to provoke Lu Jinhua, the master was really tired.Along the way, she had repeatedly indicated that Wudou was recovering from a serious illness, and invited Yueniang to ride a horse with her, but Yueniang firmly refused.Wu Dou ran vigorously, leaving Yun Bailu behind.If it wasn't for the medicine, Li Suyue wouldn't mind sticking to her chest and back to keep warm.Wanting to understand this level, Yun Bailu had no choice but to swallow.

When she arrived at the small courtyard where Lu Jinhua lived, she threw the horse rope to Li Suyue and went back to her room to rest.Pointing to the west side of the yard, "You both sleep there."

Li Suyue was obedient, after leading the horse into the stable, she was busy feeding fodder, and then went to the small courtyard kitchen to boil water and cook.Yun Bailu looked around curiously at the gate of the courtyard, and found that although the people in this village were curious about their arrival, they were not in a hurry to inquire.

Lu Jinhua's small courtyard faces south, with the back close to the rocks. The stable is larger than the residence, and can accommodate more than a dozen horses at a time.Including the kitchen, there are three rooms in total, and the hut on the west side is quite clean.The two quilts were neatly stacked on top of the kang, Yun Bailu's face became slightly hot as he thought of sharing the kang with Li Suyue.

The smell of medicine came from the back kitchen, so she came in to help.After smelling it, I knew that this was the prescription prescribed last time.Turning around to look for it, he found other medicine in the kitchen, so he quietly stirred up the medicine beside Li Suyue.

Seeing that Li Suyue was busy up and down, she could only stuff the firewood by herself.She held the mortar and sat in front of the stove to help her watch the fire.

"Is my master's condition getting worse?" Li Suyue asked her.

"Hmm." After listening to the pulse, Yun Bailu felt that Lu Jinhua's lung meridian was extremely congested. According to ordinary people, she should stay in bed, but she even dared to ride a horse to fatigue. "She can't mess around like this anymore, she has to get well."

"Then you stay and take care of the master for a while, I don't worry. When she gets better, I'll take you back to Shahai, okay?" Li Suyue begged the person in front of her.

Yun Bailu suddenly understood the reason why she was willing to take her on the road, "You...you just want me to see your master's doctor...that's why you want me to go with you?"

Li Suyue hesitated, then nodded.

Both of them were silent for a while, and Yun Bailu finally whispered, "Okay. But then... why did you drug me?"

Li Suyue, who was kneading sorghum noodles, stopped, "There are some things, it's better you don't know. Me too... I didn't expect the master to tell you the truth." She bit her lower lip for a while before letting go, facing Yun Bai Lu's aggrieved face that was not crying, "You just have a future."

Yun Bailu turned from sadness to joy, "That's not considered a future, it's just a temporary shelter. I'm happy to come here."

Li Suyue kneaded her face again, "A Lu... I don't want you to do everything because of me. I'm a horse thief, but it doesn't mean that you will join the gang. Don't mind what my master said, I will persuade her. "

"Then why are you a horse thief?" Yun Bailu looked up at her.

"You will know after a few days." Li Suyue smiled lightly, lowered her head and continued kneading the dough.

Yun Bailu realized later, "Yue Niang...what did you call me just now?"

"Alu." Li Suyue had never called out this name since returning to Shahai, but she said it naturally today.

Yun Bailu quickly lowered his head, his hands shaking the medicine, "Hey, Ah Lu."
