Riling Up The Jianghu

"Palace Master, don't you want to see your sister?" Huo Linfeng asked.

The Chaomu Tower is facing the swollen river, and it will be swaying this night, and the girl's family may be uneasy.Rong Luoyun said indifferently, "General Huo, listen carefully."

Huo Linfeng stopped in his tracks, tilted his ears slightly, and only heard the unstoppable Qing Song and the sound of the flute.He laughed a little, thinking that the women in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful and beautiful, but unexpectedly, they are still in such good spirits when the wind and rain are pouring down on the world.

Rong Luoyun smiled clearly, as if he had seen a lot. "On weekdays, the red dress is bright, and she is a prostitute who only wants to make the rich happy." He said, "When it rains, the sound of the rain evokes feelings, and she is Qing'e who is full of sorrow."

Inside, I play the qin and play the strings, play melancholy tunes, and sing mournful ditties.Rong Luoyun looked up to the fourth floor, stared at a small window, and shouted, "Sister!"

After shouting four or five times, the small window was lightly opened, and Rong Duanyu leaned out in a silk robe.It looked like he was just getting up, no makeup was applied, and his long ink-like hair was hanging down.

Rong Luoyun shouted again: "Sister, throw me an umbrella!"

Rong Duanyu left for a moment, fetched an umbrella, and threw it down neatly.Rong Luoyun caught it steadily, and as soon as he pushed it away, the soldiers behind him burst into laughter. Huo Linfeng looked sideways, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

The umbrella thrown out of the brothel has a green bamboo handle and a milky white oilcloth surface, embroidered with a bunch of flower branches, two or three nymphs, and when it is propped up, it is called "dielianhua".Rong Luoyun was holding on at the moment, the handle of the umbrella was slightly hot, and he was very embarrassed.

He pulled people into the water: "General Huo, together?"

The Saibei cavalry hid eight feet away: "Thank you, Palace Master, for your kindness."

A group of people patrolled along the river, and water gradually accumulated on the north bank of the Changhe River, and it got deeper and deeper.This place is called "Xiaopuzhuang", the terrain is quite low, and the water depth has reached the thigh before walking a few steps.

Huo Linfeng took a look and saw that the houses were densely packed, and there was an open space behind that had been flooded.

Rong Luoyun said: "This place is next to the river bank, and the place where it connects is a large swamp. All households make a living by planting cattails." He pointed to the first floor, with his wide sleeves soaked in the water, "There is a workshop, where cattails are planted. Then take it in and make it into something."

With that said, everyone reached the front of the house, and the water was as deep as their chests.The people were trapped in the house, and when they saw someone coming, whether it was a soldier or a bandit, they hurriedly opened the windows and called for help.

The whole group of soldiers and horses dispersed and tried their best to save people. Huo Linfeng held two adults in his hands and a child on his neck, and so on.The trapped households were sent to a safe place, and Xiaopu Village was gradually emptied.

But hearing the crying, Rong Luoyun knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"

The cry was inside, but no one answered.He was drenched, dirty, and cold. He had no patience, so he opened the door with his palm raised.

There are a lot of cattails floating in the house, and dozens of woven futons. An old man in his sixties stands tall, the table under his feet is submerged in the water, and he is holding a coil of cattail twisted rope in his hand.

Rong Luoyun took a closer look, the rope was looped around the beam, was he going to hang himself?

He immediately shouted: "Come down!"

The old man was still crying, standing on it trembling and chattering.Rong Luoyun heard it clearly, this is an old widower, he can't cultivate land, his eyesight is also blurred, he makes a few futons every day to make ends meet.

After finally saving dozens of them, they were all lost before they were sold.

Rong Luoyun walked over and coaxed: "You still have a house to live in, is it better than a beggar?"

The old widower shouted: "It's all drowned! Food and bedding, God is not open, why don't you drown the old man!"

In the stalemate, Huo Linfeng swam past the door, peeked out, and stopped by the door frame.After understanding the ins and outs, he said: "The general's mansion is short of a light-handler, who will take care of the meals."

The old widower was silent for a moment, understood what he meant, and hurriedly jumped off the wooden table.Rong Luoyun's face was splashed with muddy water, and while supporting him, he scolded: "I'm blind, don't light on other people's houses."

He and Huo Linfeng sent people back. After this trip, almost all the households in Xiaopuzhuang were rescued.Two or three small soldiers punted into the marsh to see if anyone had died in the cattail field.

Huo Linfeng twisted Rong Luoyun's sleeves, and after twisting, he went to fish for the hem of his clothes, only to find that there was only one silk shoe left on that foot.Rong Luoyun was a little embarrassed, and said falteringly, "I fell into the water..."

Huo Linfeng laughed, unable to hide his gloating.After laughing, he pulled a corner of his clothes and squatted down, covering Rong Luoyun's bare feet. "Don't!" Rong Luoyun panicked immediately, "Get up quickly, many people saw..."

"What are you afraid of?" Huo Linfeng wrapped himself up and got up, "I'm sad after being drowned, who wants to look at us."

As soon as the words fell, the households of Xiaopuzhuang came one after another, some bowed, some clasped their fists, and the sound of thanks made the water ripple.Huo Linfeng was obviously taken aback and froze, his eyes even flickered with disbelief.

He originally thought that the people would not care who came to Xiganling to be an official.

He wandered casually in Saibei City, calling him the young master, giving him food, inviting him to drink, and the old children were even worried about his injury like a mother.But this is not Saibei, and he has no battle to fight, so he just silently acts as his own general.

Surrounded by people at this moment, there are no words of praise, but sincere gratitude...

He was a little stunned, and quietly felt a sense of belonging.

Afterwards, Huo Linfeng arranged for people to set up a registration office. Anyone whose house was seriously damaged would be given a temporary place to live after registration, and receive pension money according to the population.

The soldiers and disciples of the various teams in the city were all exhausted. The people who had been peeping secretly gradually opened the door, beckoned, and handed a bowl of thirst-quenching tea to the hard-working people.

Rong Luoyun drank half of the bowl and asked, "Ma'am, what time is it?"

The aunt said: "Half of the application time has passed."

It's okay not to ask, but when I asked, I found out that it was halfway through the afternoon, and my stomach suddenly felt empty.After inspecting the last few streets and turning into the alley, the whole team was so tired that they sat on the ground to rest.

Rong Luoyun sat outside a family's door, the stone steps were cold, and he couldn't help shivering when he sat down.Huo Linfeng stood next to him, snapped a few times, took off his heavy armor, and then lay down on the steps.

"A majestic general, how decent is he?" Rong Luoyun said intentionally.

Huo Linfeng rested with his eyes closed, and said lazily, "One year I was injured and ran for my life with a pony. I couldn't run anymore and fell at the door of a rice shop."

Rong Luoyun asked curiously, "And then?"

Huo Linfeng said: "Then the owner of the rice shop found me, took me home, and asked the proprietress to cook a table of meals for me." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "I still remember the roast pork, now I want to come... Hello, old man I'm hungry."

Rong Luoyun chuckled, hugged the family, little pony, was this guy still a young boy at the time?I heard that Huo Linfeng first entered the battlefield at the age of 13, could it be because he was injured in the battle?

"Why do you go back to the city alone, the people in the barracks?" he asked.

Huo Linfeng said: "No, I escaped from the Hou's mansion."

Rong Luoyun was startled: "From home?!" He twisted his body, his dirty face was full of surprise, and he bumped the opponent's leg with his knee, "Aren't you injured and ran for your life?"

Huo Linfeng said: "I was severely beaten at home, and I couldn't survive, so I had to run away with the pony." Looking back now, I still feel that my skin is tight, "I was humiliated at that time, and I never want to go back.

Suddenly stopped, before Rong Luoyun asked, a group of soldiers came together at some unknown time, and they were all curious about the future: "General, what are you going to do? Travel the rivers and lakes, wander the world?"

Rong Luoyun looked at it seriously, his eyes were bright, he might be thinking of some flirtatious young general.

Unexpectedly, Huo Linfeng was a little shy, and said quietly: "Ready to beg for food..."

Those bright eyes froze instantly, and Rong Luoyun frowned coldly, so turbulently disgusted.

General Huo, who was almost begging for food, quickly explained: "At that time, I thought that begging would be the most embarrassing to my father, so I took revenge on him. Everyone in the city knows me, so begging won't be too hard."

Co-authored, there is actually a lot of deliberation.Rong Luoyun asked, "Why were you beaten?"

Huo Linfeng said: "Brother gave me the Cassia Sword, he said it can cut gold and cut jade, of course I want to try." So, after cutting off Huo Zhao's golden crown and breaking Bai's jade hairpin, I didn't know until I was beaten. Those two are tokens of love from his parents.

After listening, Rong Luoyun said silently, why didn't he kill you for being so stubborn.

There was a lot of movement in their words, and with a creak, the door behind them opened from the inside.The master was taken aback for a moment, seeing that it was a soldier resting, he returned to the house without saying a word.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, disturbing the people, and they should leave in a sensible way, but they were very tired, and they were reluctant to part with the warm stone slab under them.After hesitating, after about a cup of tea, the host showed up again.

The couple, as well as Gao Tang and his children, each held a bowl of hot porridge. "General Huo has worked hard." The master sent it, with a shy expression on his face, "there is nothing good at home, and the military men drink porridge to warm their bodies."

Huo Linfeng leaned forward to take it, glanced casually, and saw embarrassment appearing on the faces of the others.When the master returned to the house, he looked at it while drinking, and couldn't help asking Rong Luoyun: "Why is it so weird?"

Rong Luoyun said in a low voice: "Master Jun, these stinky soldiers didn't do anything in the past, and they didn't talk to the common people." This is working hard for the people and rewarding the soldiers—this is the first time the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair.

After drinking the hot porridge, the sky is getting dark, maybe there will be wind and rain.

Huo Linfeng led his men to leave the alley and rushed to Manita in the center of the city, where all the soldiers gathered to report.

It was a hard day, he arranged for everyone to go back to the camp or go home, and he was going to go back to the general's mansion to rest.On the other side of Mani Tower, the disciples of Bufan Palace returned to the palace in groups, and Duan Huaike and Lu Zhun also left.

The others dispersed, Huo Linfeng stayed in the east of the tower, and Rong Luoyun stood in the west of the tower.

Each took a few steps toward each other, Huo Linfeng led the horse and asked, "Come back to the General's Mansion with me?"

Rong Luoyun supported "Die Lian Hua": "I'm going to Chaomu Tower."

Huo Linfeng had no choice but to give up, and after watching Rong Luoyun go away, he galloped away on his horse.Turning on the long street, I saw the gate of the General's Mansion from a distance, and there was a thin figure standing at the gate.

It rained heavily yesterday, Du Zheng thought about it all night, and waited at the door before dawn, and waited for a whole day.

Running to the door, Huo Linfeng got off his horse and raised his chin to the worried butler.Du Zheng hurriedly followed, like an old lady: "The young master is back! The ginger soup is warm in the kitchen, drink a bowl, and be careful not to catch a cold!"

Huo Linfeng said, "Take a bath first."

Du Zheng nodded: "The hot water is always prepared, just wait for the young master to take off his clothes and go in."

What stripping... Huo Linfeng curled his lips and just walked blindly. The courtyard was deep, and it took a long time before he stepped into the threshold of the main garden.Walking to the front of the house, he keenly scanned the figure, and immediately stepped into the house.

"Who's in the study?"

Du Zheng said: "Master, Zhang Weiren is back."

Huo Linfeng didn't know his mood or anger: "Don't talk about the important point, talk so much nonsense!" He left the bath behind, went straight into the study, and stepped on the carpet so that no pattern could be seen.

Zhang Weiren waited for half a day, and it was also a rough journey, sending a bumpy reply letter with both hands.

"Thank you." Huo Linfeng said, "Did you meet Lord Hou in the Hou Mansion?"

Zhang Weiren said: "Go back to the general, in the barracks."

Huo Linfeng opened the envelope: "Oh? It's just provocation by the barbarian. My father supervised the army himself." His eyes fell on the letter paper, and his indifferent expression gradually froze.

Zhang Weiren lowered his head: "Master Hou... was attacked."
