A lot of new graves have been erected next to the village, so I won’t be alone when I come to Huangquan Road.
Lu Yu was sitting in front of these new graves, holding a huge wine jar in his hands, taking a sip and coughing twice.
"Hey, hey..." He smiled sullenly, and then he poured half a jug of wine on the ground, and said softly: "I hope that when I die, someone will toast me like this, although... I don't like drinking very much."
All night, Lu Yu sat on the icy ground, looking at the new tombs, chatting with them, and talking about things... which can only be told to the dead.
Xiao Ruan stood far away, not letting others approach, nor did she approach, just waiting for her young master to call her over.
It's just... but didn't wait.
Lu Yu slept, maybe weak, maybe drunk, just lying on the ground holding the wine jar.
When he woke up again, he had returned to Xiao Ruan's arms, and he was not in the room, but on top of Xiao Hei's head.
Lu Yu smiled lightly and said, "You guessed that I was leaving."
Xiao Ruan nodded and said, "Hua's caravan has already left, and they gave us some necessities before leaving. Master... I must leave too."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I have to go."
…
Lu Yu and his party seemed a little abrupt in this way. After leaving this small village, they did not take away the gifts left by the Huajia caravan, but left them to the villagers.
All the way south, more than 300 people walked very quietly.
In their hearts, the memories of last night still reverberated. It was not the battle, but... Lu Yu's small and thin body, carrying a strong man several times his size, staggered and walked to the side of the village with difficulty. , Dug a hole with his own hands and buried the man in it.
That back figure may become a memory they have, engraved in their hearts, it is impossible to forget.
Just from the back, they felt that their previous efforts were worth it, and they will completely change their views and decisions when they encounter any problems in the future.
But some people are worried.
For example, from Yipin.
He frowned deeply, and whispered to the people around him: "Master Lu... is too soft-hearted, so he doesn't know whether he is a blessing or a curse if he doesn't take care of the soldiers..."
Next to him is a three-hundred soldiers who used to be, but now there are only a hundred people left, but it is becoming more and more condensed.
When the soldier heard these words, he was taken aback for a moment, then a sneer appeared on his face.
"Be soft-hearted? Are you talking about an adult?"
"Of course it is Master Lu, yesterday..."
"You worry too much."
Before finishing talking about the first product, the soldier said like this.
What appeared in his mind was not only the scene from last night, but also the strange young man who stood on the top of the city and dared to fight the sky when he was in Linjiang City. The boy who faced hundreds of thousands of victims with only a touch of indifference on his face...
Softhearted? He will never appear in Lu Yu's heart, his heart is like iron.
Only with Xiao Ruan, his heart became the softness of the fingers, but... the softness of the fingers is made of fine steel, with a soft surface but more toughness.
…
The south, the closer you are to the south, the closer you are to the real battlefield.
"Report to the eldest lady, a squad of twelve people was found ahead, dressed as scouts, and the route is from east to west. If there is no change, we will meet in half an hour."
One person reported this to Lu Qian.
During the reporting process, only the facts were explained, without any guesses or inferences. If you change the report to another army, you will at least say that you have encountered an enemy scout instead of saying'dress up as a scout.'
A few words have different meanings.
Lu Qian turned her head and glanced at Lu Yu, found that the other party was still asleep, and had no intention of commanding, so she lowered her head to think for a while, and then said loudly: "Forty people, sneak under siege, live."
Everyone moved quickly, without Lu Qian's assignment, they selected forty people themselves, with the fastest movements and the highest skills.
It didn't take a while and there was no panic, forty people came back with 13 people tied up.
It is thirteen, not twelve.
Lu Qian frowned and looked at her scout.
The scout instantly knelt down and said, "I missed one, please punish me."
"Forget it, originally you weren't a full-time scout, and temporarily letting you serve as an embarrassment for you, but through this time, you can also learn something. Generally, one or two people in the scout team will come to nearby first to inquire. , Or the supervisory scout itself, is the scout in the scouts to deal with the situation where the scout team has been overwhelmed and unable to vent the news. This kind of thing is rarely done on the mainland, but the Eastern Jin Kingdom... Humph, the emperor will soon come from the east. I am really good at fighting. Many things were pioneered by him, and they are also very practical."
After speaking, Lu Qian waved her hand, and the scout stood up and digested the previous knowledge carefully.
"You... what's your mission this time?"
Lu Qian tilted her head and asked the thirteen people who had been caught.
She didn't feel it herself, as long as she asked the other party casually, she would explain it.
but…
"Our task this time... is to supervise the movements of the barbarians. Some spies reported that it was the Eagles' behavior that was very strange. The general was very afraid that they would turn against each other, so he sent waves of scouts to investigate. We are also one of them, it is not a big task."
He said.
And this thing should never be said.
First of all, this will reveal the cooperation between the Eastern Jin Kingdom and the Barbarians, and secondly, it will reveal the fact that the Eastern Jin Kingdom and the Barbarians are not so cooperative.
From this bright spot, Lu Qian can infer that it has been a long time since the barbarians have joined the war. They intervened very early, so this kind of union is no longer a secret. In addition, the barbarians were not integrated into the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the two sides did different things, and the exchanges between them were not so much. It can be said that the two forces are separated, not only in locations, but also in time. It may also be separate.
This is the case in war. Few people can think of the secrets that a few words will reveal.
And those words extract useful information... Lu Yu has personally taught Lu Qian many times in practice.
Lu Qian calculated that there were two aspects that made her very entangled. The first was why the other party confided the task so easily, and how many concealed it was. Second, even if the information was correct, Lu Qian In fact, I can't think of how to use this information.
"You are quite cooperative. Don’t worry, we don’t belong to any party, we don’t belong to the Great Jade Kingdom, nor the Eastern Jin Kingdom. We just need to pass through the war zone and we need to have a general understanding of the war so that we can protect ourselves. Regarding your worries, after you have answered with peace of mind, you will be released and will not delay your time to complete the task."
At this moment, Lu Yu didn't know when he would appear next to Lu Qian, and calmly said this to the thirteen people.
He turned his head and smiled at Lu Qian. The kind of smile Lu Qian knew was to make her watch and listen carefully, and then...study.
Turning his head again, Lu Yu smiled at the thirteen people and said, "What has happened to make your general think that the barbarians are unreliable?"
