Of course it's because of drinking and telling the truth.
Gu Juefei, who was drunk, made her especially...
sleepy.
Lu Jinxi guessed that he would leave without knowing what he said, which would make Gu Juefei think about himself in the capital for several days.
But the more so, the happier she is.
In the other party's sense, maybe there will be a strange illusion of being molested
But what's so bad
There is no word "frivolous" in Lu Jinxi's dictionary.
Life must be full of joy, don't let the golden bottle face the moon; if you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and tomorrow will worry about tomorrow. . .
It's alright, half-truth and flirting with Gu Juefei, life is still a bit interesting anyway.
The car is covered with thick fleece blankets, so even if you lie down, you won't feel nauseous.
So she went in lazily on her back, squinted her eyes, and said to Qingque next to her: "I'm tired of eating, I'll sleep for a while, and you can call me if there is anything on the way."
"Yes."
Qingque responded and pulled the blanket on the side to cover her, for fear that she would catch a cold.
Lu Jinxi didn't open his eyes, and let Qingque cover it up for himself. He thought about the matter of Sheng Longchang and Gu Juefei in his mind, thinking that after this event was completed, he would be able to make a lot of money, and he didn't need to always Borrowing Lu's money to live.
With money, although the world is big, where can't you go
She still likes those days in her own hands.
The carriage wobbled.
There are guards from the Taishi Mansion in front and back, and there is He Xing nearby, which can be said to be extremely reassuring. It can be said that Lu Jinxi is not worried at all.
What's more, it's useless to worry.
She can't lift her shoulders or hands. If something really happens, it's good not to make trouble.
Therefore, although this sleep was on the carriage, Lu Jinxi slept very at ease.
Baoding is in the south of the capital. It is not a prosperous place, but you will pass some towns or tea shops along the road along the way. When the people of the Taishi Mansion were on errands in the mansion, they traveled all over the place, not to mention those from the green forest like He Xing.
Don't have to worry about Lu Jinxi, they will plan their itinerary.
When he was resting at noon the day before, He Xing came to report to Lu Jinxi and discussed the itinerary.
The distance between the two places is about 300 miles, and because of Gu Juefei's previous warning, they only travel during the day, and at night they have to find a place to rest, so they have to take a long detour.
After all, the journey will take nearly four days.
Although it sounds like it has been a while, but safety is better, so Lu Jinxi has no objection.
Along the way, she sleeps when she is sleepy, and when she wakes up, she enjoys the scenery, reads a book, or talks to the nearest He Xing.
He Xing was still very cautious at first, after all, he had been trained by Gu Juefei before.
But since Lu Jinxi wanted to ask, it was impossible for him not to answer, and he didn't have the guts to not answer, so they got to know each other after a few visits.
"He Xing, the eldest son of your family is just a literati. It's enough to make Meng Ji, a scholar from Tao'an, to join him. How can he subdue you? According to your words, you turned out to be a bandit in the green forest."
It's already the fourth day.
It was sunny and sunny outside the carriage, and Lu Jinxi read almost all the books he was carrying. He was a little bored, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and chatted with He Xing, who was riding a horse beside him.
He Xing was a little speechless.
In the past few days, he has already experienced the "special" of this general's wife.
She is not picky about food and lodging along the way, and she doesn't care what others think. The so-called "men and women's defense" doesn't pay much attention. If you ignore her outstanding appearance and weak body, she doesn't look like a weak woman from a boudoir. On the contrary, he has an amazing ability.
Even the brothers who walked all the way, mentioned her when they lay down and chatted at night, and they all had a rare expression on their faces.
After all, they had never seen such a woman before.
He has a high status, speaks elegantly, and suffers a lot, not to mention the air of keeping people at a distance.
They were nominally the guards of the Grand Master's Mansion, but in fact they were all raised by Gu Juefei, who only listened to his orders. In Meng Ji's words, it is an out-and-out "Gu Juefei's lackey."
As for Lu Jinxi, they had their own guesses.
But no one felt that such a woman was not worthy of their eldest son, and no one felt that the eldest son had a problem with his vision.
Even He Xing was a little surprised by such an unprecedented unification.
Even an idiot can see that the eldest son is unusual for the official wife of the general's mansion.
So at this moment, she lifted the curtain and came out to ask questions. Although He Xing felt a little awkward, he didn't dare not to answer, he just said honestly: "This subordinate met the eldest son when he was blocking the road in Shaanxi. He robbed the caravan, but whoever thought that the eldest son was among the people accompanying him, he convinced everyone in a few words. The subordinates were naturally convinced. The eldest son saw that I was good, so he asked me to escort the caravan together. I went. It didn't take long for him to leave Shaanxi and gave me a letter asking me to go to the Grand Master's Mansion as a guard. Since then, my subordinates have a place to live."
"Caravan?"
Lu Jinxi raised his eyebrows immediately, feeling that it was somewhat unimaginable that Gu Juefei was among the caravan. After all, he is an uncompromising noble son.
"Mixed in the caravan, I persuaded you in a few words, how did you persuade?"
"Speaking of which, you are afraid to sigh. At that time, it was Sheng Longchang's caravan that we were going to rob." He Xing laughed, his voice thick and rough, "At that time, the eldest son was wearing that sackcloth and a face. It was all blacked out, and we thought it was just the refugees who accompanied the team. But we surrounded the caravan and planned to start, and he stood up before the sword was raised. "
Thinking of that scene, He Xing still felt very courageous.
Gu Juefei's spirit.
When others saw their cold bandit, they were so frightened that they all shrank aside, only Gu Juefei stood up after beating people, looking at Luo Tuo who was clearly dressed, but when he spoke, he was neither humble nor arrogant, not afraid at all.
All he asked was, "Are you here to rob?"
At that time, He Xing wanted to scold his mother, so he opened his mouth and replied, "Is this your grandma's still need to ask?"
It can be said that he did not respond very nicely.
In the few years after knowing Gu Juefei's identity and ability, every time he thought about this sentence, he would have the kind of fear that he couldn't help but want to slap himself a few times—
The guts are too fat!
"Unexpectedly, the eldest son didn't get angry, and he didn't have a seizure. Instead, he asked us why there was no famine in the Shaanxi-Gansu area, why did he come out to be a bandit."
"I didn't want to talk to him, but he asked again."
"This time, some of my brothers said that the government's taxation is too heavy, and there are not a few grains of grain left after farming. If the caravan needs to unload a few carts of goods, we will not embarrass them and let them go."
He Xingren was already tall, and when he sat on a horse, he became more imposing.
It's just that when he said this, the expression on his face did not match his tall and burly body at all, but instead he had a very guilty conscience.
Lu Jinxi became more and more curious: "Then what?"
"Then the eldest son stood there, didn't speak for a while, and looked at us for a long time. We were about to snatch it directly."
"Fortunately he spoke again."
"Even if I said it, you probably wouldn't have guessed it. He actually said that the caravan's cargo can be unloaded for us by two trucks, but it depends on whether we dare to take it."
When he said this, He Xing paused again.
However, Lu Jinxi frowned, his eyes turned slightly, and he became a little more subtle, and directly said his guess: "You said that the caravan you robbed belonged to Sheng Longchang, and Sheng Longchang at that time should have You are still supplying military supplies for the border war. So you are not actually robbing ordinary caravans, but the semicolons in the rest of Shenglongchang are enough to prepare them to be transported to the headquarters and then sent to the battlefield goose quarters?"
"you… "
He Xing's eyes widened and he couldn't close his mouth.
"Can you guess that?"
What's so hard to guess
It's clear after contact.
Lu Jinxi smiled, shook his head, didn't take it seriously, and just continued: "You should have been frightened by him when you heard it, and then he was aware of it, moved with reason, and used the common people of the country. Righteousness and good words persuaded them. In the end, when your brains became hot, you stopped robbery, and you only had food to eat, so you went with the caravan and escorted them to Shenglongchang Headquarters, right or not?"
"Yeah, that's what it said."
It seems that he is another smart person who knows what people are thinking at a glance. It is no wonder that the eldest son attaches so much importance to him.
He Xing laughed: "The eldest son also told us that General Xue..."
As soon as these four words came out, there was a pause.
The expression on his face suddenly became a little stiff, and he turned his head to look at Lu Jinxi with a little caution, as if he felt that his words had mentioned someone who should not have been mentioned, for fear of angering her or making her sad.
But Lu Jinxi didn't have any special reaction at all.
As if guessing why he stopped, she still found it interesting, and raised her eyebrows: "What about General Xue?"
He Xing was stunned again.
He couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't believe his eyes anymore: Wasn't it all rumored in Beijing that the general's wife, Mrs. Lu, was deeply saddened by the general's sacrifice for the country
He thought it might be a little bit taboo.
Can…
He Xing looked at her, somewhat stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and replied: "Eldest son said that General Xue led the soldiers to death at the border, and fought with the Huns, throwing our heads and blood, even if we can't join the army. Don't give a piece of your power, you shouldn't drag your legs back regardless of the importance. The big guys are forced to go up the mountain. The eldest son said so, and he is a military supply. Of course, no one dares to do it again. And the eldest son is the master. , don't hold us accountable, that's why today's congratulatory trip."
Gu Juefei's expression when he said those words is still vivid in his mind.
It's just that six or seven years have passed, and the eldest son and the eldest man have become deadlocked for some reason. They have lived in the Xuecuiding of Jokhang Temple for nearly six years, and they will not return even during the New Year. The general died in the battle of Hanshan Pass. Hearing that the bones were not found intact, they brought back a blind horse.
He Xing sighed a little in his heart.
Lu Jinxi heard it, but he didn't feel anything special, only a little strange: "The eldest son scolded you at that time and asked you if you didn't serve the country on the battlefield, then you should join the army at that time, why did you return to the Grand Master's mansion as a guard?"
"Hey, don't say it, I was weird about this back then."
He Xing didn't expect her to notice this.
"At that time, my brothers and I were told by the eldest son that we wanted to escort the caravan to Luoyang, so we went to join the army together. I told the eldest son, and the eldest son also said that we could write letters of recommendation for us. For a long time, the eldest son seems to have lived in Shenglongchang for two days, and then wrote a letter to us. But this letter did not recommend us to join the army, but sent us to the capital, saying that we were no longer needed at the border. "
Can't use it
At that time, there was still more than a year before the victory in the battle of Hanshan Pass, or the "tragic victory".
How could Gu Juefei say "no use"
Lu Jinxi felt that something was not quite right, the thoughts in his mind really popped up one after another, and the divine light in the bottom of his eyes changed faintly.
She asked quietly: "He told you to go back, so you went back?"
"Well..." He Xing felt a little embarrassed, raised his hand uncomfortably, touched the back of his head, and said, "We are all a bunch of reckless people, and people like the eldest son have said that, of course we are. Listen to him. Besides, how good is the capital? You can still have a bite to eat. Most of the guys are ordinary people, and they are willing to serve their country and country, but if they can have a full meal, no one is willing to fight."
Lu Jinxi didn't speak.
He Xing realized it later and thought it was the words that angered her, and hurriedly said: "This subordinate is stupid, you really can't speak, you, you..."
"fine."
With a faint smile on Lu Jinxi's face, he shook his head at him, and the thoughts that popped up in his mind gradually calmed down. After all, it is in the past, and it is meaningless to trace the origin.
"Anyway, it hasn't been two years since you arrived in the capital, and the war is really over. It's the eldest son who knows things like God."
"Exactly."
Because he suspected that he had said something wrong before, He Xing did not dare to answer a few more words at this time, for fear that he would say more and more mistakes.
But Lu Jinxi asked again: "The eldest son said earlier that there have been a lot of bandits and gangsters in the west of the capital in recent days. We are heading south, so it should be a lot safer. After all, the weather is good this year. people of the day."
"It's hard to say."
Speaking of things in the green forest, He Xing still knows the depths.
"The most people in this world are people who like leisure and hate work. They want to enjoy themselves but don't want to endure hardships. They live in peace and prosperity. It’s just that they are basically stragglers, and even if they encounter it, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
"With your words, I am relieved."
Lu Jinxi actually felt the same way, nodded, and chatted with He Xing for a while, then he was a little sleepy again, and retreated into the car to rest.
At noon, the group stopped at a tea shop and repaired for a while.
Continue on the road after noon.
Since it was not far from Baoding City, they hurried for a while, arrived at the city gate at dusk and sunset, handed over the guide, and finally entered the city.
