Bai Fuling regained her composure, and found herself leaning on the recliner, the sky outside the window was already dark, and she didn't know what time it was, she obviously thought she only slept for a while, why did most of the day pass in the blink of an eye? !
"You're so happy, what happened?" Usually she doesn't sleep much, and when she rarely sleeps peacefully, the family members will never disturb her when she is waiting for idle matters. It must be a big deal for Bai Guo to shake her awake. , and looking at her crooked eyebrows, it's the virtue of winning a lottery.
Bai Guo laughed slyly and said: "The wife of our great general was assassinated and injured, and was carried back to the general's mansion. The two generals were so anxious that their heads were filled with smoke, they went to Tong Cai Ya to ask the lady to help. .”
Being carried back to the general's mansion? Bai Fuling immediately grasped the question in the words, and asked, "Didn't she stay in the general's residence all the time? Why did she run out so well? Was she assassinated?"
Bai Guo pulled Bai Fuling to tidy up her dress, and said happily: "I heard that she ignored the advice of the two generals and insisted on going to the tower to comfort the guards, but on the way back she was caught by the spies hidden in the city." She was ambushed and held hostage, and there was a lot of trouble. She was rescued with great difficulty. She was frightened and injured, and was sent back to the general's mansion in a distraught state. Unfortunately, in order to save her, three Zhenbei Army soldiers were killed or injured. Two servants she brought also died... This woman is really tiring!"
After talking about it, Bai Guo couldn't laugh anymore. Among the three Zhenbei Army soldiers, she knew two of them. One died and the other was injured. She was already dead, and the other was lying in the bed dripping with blood, and she felt sad.
Bai Fuling hadn't completely escaped from the dream, and she just echoed absent-mindedly when she heard the words: "Yes, it's really tiring!"
Seeing that she was not in the right mind, Bai Guo couldn't ask more questions, so he went with her to meet Shan and Bu.
When they arrived, there was only Bu Jie left in the hall, Shan Daogen had already left first, saying that those barbarian cavalry had gone and returned, although the number was smaller, the big boss Caowu did not appear, let alone rushed forward to attack City, but from time to time they make some noise to test and harass. That's all, there was an assassination and kidnapping of the general's wife in the city, and the investigation and suppression of the spies alone was enough to keep the two generals busy.
When Bu Jie saw Bai Fuling, he was immediately relieved. They had just sent the frightened and injured Cui Zhenyi back to the general's mansion. There were several women there who were either yelling or crying, but none of them could take charge of the overall situation. The caretaker didn't know how to take care of her, so she naturally thought of Bai Fuling, she is the general's righteous sister, she is also a woman, and Cui Zhenyi is a sister-in-law's relative. At that moment, the two almost fled and left the group of women behind, and ran to the Tongcai Dental Bank came to ask for help.
They didn't know about the grievances between Bai Fuling and Cui Zhenyi, even if they knew, they couldn't care about it now.
Bu Jie bowed and kept urging Bai Fuling to go as soon as possible, but Bai Fuling didn't want to offend him, and also wanted to see Cui Zhenyi's down-and-out morality, so she readily agreed to go with him.
On the way to get into the car, Bai Fuling suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked Bu Jie, "How did the spy know Cui's identity, and deliberately ambushed her on the road? Could it be that there are still barbarian espionage in the army?"
If this is the case, it needs to be thoroughly investigated, and another galangal is not a joke.
Bu Jie was too nervous to pay attention to Bai Fuling's address to Cui Zhenyi, and sighed: "The general's wife said that she was comforting the soldiers and boosting morale for the general, so she took the guard of honor from the general's mansion to go out, and she did not hide her identity all the way..."
Bai Fuling was speechless. If those barbarian spies had the means to assassinate that murderer Yang Heng, Cui Zhenyi would probably have died several times. This woman doesn't know when to show off. I don't know if she is too courageous or just born stupid and naive. .
For the sake of safety, the maidservants of the Bai family no longer rode those eye-catching white camels today, and all of them took cars instead. Naturally, they were riding in the safety carriage of the Bai family. Bai Ashi and other guards were still guarding on horseback.
As soon as Bai Guo sat in the car, she was pulled aside by Hongqu and muttered: "That woman is really looking for trouble, and she ran out to show off, isn't she courting death?"
Bai Guo snorted and said: "I want to be a good housekeeper, I don't know the situation and I don't know how to weigh myself, tsk tsk! I was so scared to death last night, today I thought I was fine and ran out to put on a show." The maid wanted to laugh when she thought of the movement in the East Wing and the butler Shi Wei's vivid description last night.
Under the publicity of Bai Guo and Ding Xiang who spared no effort, most of the Bai family knew about Cui Zhenyi's bad deeds and regarded her as the best example of the onlookers' despise.
"I think the two generals are terrified. If something happens to that woman, they don't know how to explain it to the general." Hong Qu looked at the embarrassment of Bu Jie and Shan Daogen in the hall just now. Somewhat sympathetic.
Bai Guo gloated and said, "It's troublesome anyway, but she's really unlucky."
Cui Zhenyi was indeed very unlucky. Ever since she came to Beiguan City, she had run into obstacles everywhere, and everything went wrong, especially when she met Bai Fuling, the nemesis, and she never got any benefits again. She always thought of a perfect beginning for all the plans, but she didn't expect the unexpected ending.
She was terribly frightened last night, but finally found out that it was just a false alarm. Coupled with the surprisingly calm performance of Bai Fuling and the others, the generals Dan and Bu patted their chests after Bai Fuling left, saying that the defense of Beiguan City was as stable as Mount Tai. The strong self-confidence that the barbarians will never break in, so her view of the situation has turned to the other extreme. She thinks that the city is very safe, and Lu Ying will be back in three days, and it is under martial law, and the security situation is better than usual.
Thinking of all fears being thrown out of the blue, Cui Zhenyi immediately thought of Lu Ying's categorical request for her to return to Beijing before she left. Now that the four doors are closed, of course she can't leave, but when Lu Ying comes back, the old matter will be brought up again, so she immediately decided to hurry up and implement her plan.
She thought, if Lu Ying came back and heard the unanimous praise and admiration of Zhenbei Army from all over the town, knowing that she personally contributed to the defense of the city, put down the airs of a famous lady and condescend to deal with the officers and soldiers, and boost their morale, even if No matter how much dislike she has for her, I'm afraid he can't pull her face down and drive her away.
Cui Zhenyi specifically thought about what image she should appear in the Zhenbei Army, what to say to the city defenders, and what to do to win the approval of the Zhenbei Army. Then he ordered Shi Wei to prepare the ceremonial car for Zhenbei General's Mansion, and to personally go to the tower to condolences to the guards.
Shi Wei, Shan Daogen, Bu Jie, etc. were all shocked when they heard her plan, and tried to persuade and stop it, but Cui Zhenyi was not willing to listen, how close the three people's attitudes towards Bai Fuling were. They were all with Bai Fuling, that's why they evaded and obstructed her, refusing to let her go out.
Shan Daogen said that there might be spies lurking in the city, and she was afraid that it would be bad for her. Cui Zhenyi smiled gently and said: "Didn't the two adults just say that the four gates of Beiguan City are closed and martial law is under control? Is there something big going on? And Miss Bai left the General's Mansion earlier to go out on errands? Could it be that my sister-in-law is not as good as my sister-in-law?"
A few words blocked Shan Daogen's rhetoric to death. Although Shan Daogen had a smarter brain than Bu Jie, he was not an eloquent person after all. How could he tell her euphemistically that Bai Fuling's "fame has spread far and wide" over the years? There are so many masters, and they have always been ruthless in dealing with the enemy. Even if they are barbarian spies, they dare not provoke them
He gave Bu Jie a hard look. It's this guy who brags about "everything is under control"? ! Now finally blow out the problem!
Shan Daogen held back for a while and finally choked out some words: "The wife of the general is very valuable. Although martial law has been enforced outside, it is still during the war. If there is an accident, the lady will die." Among other things, If he is a spy, he will definitely pick a big shot to cause chaos. Who is more suitable to assassinate than the wife of the Great General Zhenbei
Cui Zhenyi's words were very pleasing to Cui Zhenyi's ears, but she still did not intend to give up the plan and insisted: "If you two adults are worried, you can go with my concubine."
Shan Daogen blamed her for being ignorant, did he really think they were idle? And to accompany her around sightseeing. But Cui Zhenyi persisted, and they had no choice. Who would let her be the boss's first wife? If she wants to go out, can they put her under house arrest
So Cui Zhenyi used the name of the wife of the Great General of Zhenbei in such a glorious manner, and went to the tower in a mighty manner. The journey went very smoothly, and her dignified, calm, gentle and considerate image in the city also confused a group of onlookers who didn't know the truth. If there was no sudden chaos and assassination, Cui Zhenyi would feel that this was a beautiful memory she would never forget in her life.
Now... the memory still lasts a lifetime, just not so good...
When the guard of honor of the convoy walked through a narrow street on the way back, there was a sudden flash of fire on the Hengli fork road, and then several red-burning carts piled up with firewood and other things were pushed out, and the long and long Shan Daogen, Bu Jie and half of the soldiers were stopped on one side, Cui Zhenyi's carriage and the other half of the soldiers faced each other across the fire.
Several barbarian strongmen lurking on the tall buildings by the side of the road descended from the sky, smashed the roof of the carriage where Cui Zhenyi was sitting, dragged her out of the carriage like a chicken, and put a gleaming sharp knife on her chest. neck.
Before Cui Zhenyi figured out what happened, she became the hostage of these barbarian insiders. She screamed and was slapped hard by another barbarian spy who caught up with her, knocking her into a daze on the spot. His face was swollen like a steamed bun, and he couldn't speak a word, let alone scream.
Several Zhenbei Army soldiers and Cui family servants who were relatively close tried to save people, but they killed and injured three people for no reason because of throwing rats.
These insiders are all Caowu's cronies and death squads. They have suffered enough from Lu Ying these years, and they hate him to the bone. If they caught his wife this time, if they were not afraid of missing a major event, they might not be fans of Cui Zhenyi. A slap in the face is as simple as that, any nasty thing can be done.
Shan Daogen and Bujie were able to get into the high positions of generals in the Zhenbei Army. The ability to lead the army is very strong, and they calm down in a blink of an eye. The cart is cleared away.
Several barbarian tribes, relying on important hostages, did not intend to escape, but stood still and negotiated with Shan Daogen and Bu Jie, asking them to open the city gate.
While Shan Daogen bargained with them to delay the time, Bu Jie flashed into the dark to organize several sharp archers who were quickly summoned to prepare for a risky rescue.
Cui Zhenyi was so dazed that her feet were weak from fright, and she was clamped in front of her body by a barbarian with a knife as a shield. Her face was in pain, and her carefully painted makeup was blurred by tears. How embarrassing the shape is.
The smell of sweat from Manzi's body made her want to vomit, and she was overwhelmed by the feeling of shame and frustration. If her current situation was reported back to Beijing, her reputation would be ruined!
Why is this happening? She couldn't figure it out, all that was left in her mind was confusion and throbbing pain. She looked blankly at the front of her with anxious eyes, her mouth opening and closing, Shan Daogen, who was negotiating with a few savages, and dozens of people behind him stared at her intently. The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army... This face is really embarrassing!
Just when she was completely lost and full of shame, regret, resentment, and fear, there was a strange sound in her ears, and she felt the barbarian's arm on her shoulders tremble and then softened, and the sharp knife fell on her. There was a scratch on the shoulder, and it fell to the ground with a jingle.
Cui Zhenyi regretted it, regretted that she should ignore the pain on her shoulder and turn her head to look at the barbarian who hijacked her.
The barbarian's facial features were distorted, a pair of bloodshot eyes protruded, and a small bloody sharp arrow was exposed from his wide-open mouth—it was pierced through the back of his head by an arrow! Die on the spot!
Cui Zhenyi was so frightened that she couldn't even scream, and she fell to the ground.
At the same time, several barbarians nearby were either shot to death by sharp archers, or captured on the spot by the swarming Zhenbei army, and the situation was instantly reversed. Bu Jie carried a bow and arrow down from the roof of a residential house by the street, walked quickly to Cui Zhenyi, kicked Manzi's body away, and asked repeatedly: "Madam, Madam, how are you?!" The man who pierced through Manzi's head It was he who shot the arrow.
Bu Jie is a sharpshooter in the Zhenbei Army, with amazing arm strength and a hundred shots. Just now he combined with Shan Daogen Jianjian, knowing that the battle must be done quickly, so he brought several other sharpshooters in the army to fight together, in order to ensure Cui Zhenyi's life. , the arrow that shot at the hijacker was shot by him himself, but Cui Zhenyi was still unavoidably slightly injured, and a sharp knife was scratched on her shoulder. Although the wound was not deep, the blood flowed profusely on the spot, which looked very serious .
Cui Zhenyi looked down at her blood-stained half of her body, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, she fainted from shaking. Fen Mao and Mother Deng, who were in the car with her, put her into the car with all their might, and hurried back to the General's Mansion in Zhenbei.
It was already midnight when Bai Fuling arrived, Cui Zhenyi was bandaged by the doctor, drank medicine and fell asleep. Bai Fuling and a few servant girls saw her swollen and distorted pig face exposed outside the quilt, and it took a lot of effort to control their laughter.
Liu Zhenzhen and the maids and servants who came with them stood aside in panic, and they haven't fully recovered yet.
Outsiders don't know the inside story of the relationship between Lu Ying and Cui Zhenyi. If Cui Zhenyi has something at the moment, Lu Ying will feel uncomfortable, so Bai Fuling still agrees to live in the Zhenbei General's Mansion for the next few days under Shi Wei's expectant eyes. .
Early the next morning, Bai Fuling asked Hongqu to invite Liu Zhenzhen, and said to her, "Two members of the Cui family were attacked and killed yesterday, and their bodies are temporarily parked in the front yard. Together with the soldiers who died in the Northern Army, you If my cousin wakes up, let's see how to deal with the funeral and tell Steward Shi to help."
Liu Zhenzhen didn't expect that she called herself here to talk about this matter, and said casually: "It's just two servants. After cremation, let people take the ashes back and give them some more silver taels from An's family."
Bai Fuling glanced at her indifferently, and did not express her opinion, but the maids serving her showed a little bit of contempt and anger. It can be said that those two died because of Cui Zhenyi's recklessness and disobedience to advice. The so-called masters of the Cui family were so indifferent, and they felt sorry for the servants who worked for them.
Liu Zhenzhen didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her at all. Seeing Cui Zhenyi being carried back half-body soaked in blood, she was only glad that she escaped from the scene yesterday. She was really scared now, and planned to wait for her cousin to wake up, no matter what. To persuade her to leave.
Although the temptation to become Lu Ying's concubine is great, it can't compare to the preciousness of her life. Beiguan City is really terrible. They have been here for less than a hundred days, and such a thing happened. God knows if they stay longer. What accident will happen, she was lucky to escape this time, what about next time
And these days, she watched coldly, feeling that the cousin-in-law didn't treat her cousin as a wife at all, let alone accepted her as a concubine after listening to her. Second, her cousin-in-law looked at her from the beginning to the end, just like looking at those lifeless furniture. She really didn't have the courage to express her admiration to her cousin-in-law under such indifferent eyes.
Her beauty, which she was quite conceited at first, became worthless in comparison with Bai Fuling. After repeated setbacks, she had actually given up her plan to use her cousin to enter the Lu family. He instigated his cousin again and again to confront Bai Fuling.
"Miss Liu will pack up and prepare for your cousin when she has free time these two days. When the general returns to the city, I can arrange for you to return to Beijing." Bai Fuling was not in the mood to play tricks on her, and directly said the words to drive her away.
Liu Zhenzhen's face froze. She wanted to leave Beiguan City as soon as possible, but she didn't expect Bai Fuling to open her mouth so openly. Her cousin was not around and she had no one to support her. She was far better than her in appearance, pomp, and momentum alone. Bai Fuling felt a little uneasy, let alone confronting her. After thinking about it for a while, she finally said, "Let's talk about this matter after my cousin wakes up and asks her. I can't make a decision on my behalf."
"It's up to you." Bai Fuling was not interested in chatting with her, and just served tea to see off the guests.
After Liu Zhenzhen left, Bai Fuling said to Bai Guo: "Unexpectedly, this Liu Zhenzhen seems to be simple-minded, but in fact he is not completely stupid. Whenever he encounters troubles, he pushes Cui Zhenyi, and he also knows when to play tricks and when to pretend to be stupid. The sisters are indeed virtuous and love to use each other as a shield."
Bai Guo smiled and said: "She can't pretend to be stupid and bear it. Haven't they learned enough lessons? The woman surnamed Cui is lying in bed injured now. It's fine if something like this happens, but they don't dare to continue Staying in Beiguan City is a pity for those few lives that were sacrificed in vain..."
The dead and wounded in the Zhenbei Army were a little better. There were regulations for treatment and funerals. The pension was generous and the family members did not have to worry about no one to take care of them. I am afraid that the two servants of the Cui family would not be treated so well. They know what they are doing, but they don't know if they will regret it. What are they doing to save people
Because of her own experience, Bai Fuling has a very indifferent view of life and death, she shrugged and said: "Life and death have their own destiny, and in the next life, I just need to be reincarnated into a good family."
What she said was her experience, but Bai Guo didn't take it seriously when she heard it, but she also knew that Bai Fuling had this style, so it was not easy to refute it.
After this turmoil, Shandaogen and Bujie didn't dare to let go, and many barbarian spies were found in the city one after another, and there was no major disturbance.
Cui Zhenyi also stopped completely, and she quietly recuperated in the East Wing every day. The maids and servants she brought were also very peaceful, they were cautious and did not dare to take a breath, they just waited on them honestly, secretly hoping that Cui Zhenyi would recover soon , Lu Ying came back quickly, so they could set off for Beijing.
In comparison, the West Wing where Bai Fuling lives is much more lively. No matter whether the city is under martial law or not, Miss Bai's requirements for the quality of life will not be lowered. Good food and good food every day.
Although there is only a small courtyard between the two sides, they seem to be two isolated worlds, each doing its own thing without interfering with the other. Bai Fuling didn't pretend to visit and care about Cui Zhenyi, knowing that Cui Zhenyi didn't want to see her, so why bother to go to each other to disgust each other? However, she still asked the housekeeper Shi Wei to keep an eye on their needs, especially in terms of medicine and diet, and try to satisfy them as much as possible.
It is best to heal the injury earlier and get out earlier!
What Bai Fuling is most worried about now is the situation at Baijiazhuang in Baili Mountain. She rarely leaves her parents' side suddenly for several days. Those who can't see her will definitely miss her very much.
Blame those damn barbarians! I hope that when the eldest brother comes back this time, he will teach them a good lesson and let them know why the flowers are so popular!
On a dirt slope hundreds of miles away, Lu Ying was reining in his horses to watch the battle with Yang Heng and Liedang. He jumped out of the tent to escape, but was shot dead mercilessly by the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who were waiting by the side.
Seeing this one-sided massacre, both Yang Heng and Lie Dang couldn't help but feel a little moved, but they didn't sympathize with these people, instead their blood surged with excitement.
Lu Ying purges the army early yesterday morning, but he is not in a hurry to return to the city. Instead, he methodically assigns manpower according to the spies' reports, and lures the cavalry in Caowu who are trying to take advantage of the situation and wipe out the Zhenbei Army.
Yang Heng thought that he would order to kill all of Caowu's soldiers and horses, but Lu Ying could not hide, and ordered the Zhenbei army to attack deliberately to pretend that they were incompetent and unwilling to fight, and only killed Caowu's soldiers and horses. Withhold a portion and let the rest go.
Early this morning, Lu Ying ordered a small part of the Zhenbei army who participated in the ambush in Caowu to escort the wounded soldiers to the direction of Beiguan City. He ordered a soldier who was similar in stature to wear his battle robe and sit alone in a car. on the cart. Looking at it from a distance, anyone would think that Lu Ying was accidentally injured and was leading his troops back to Beiguan City in a hurry.
Naturally, these were done on purpose for Caowu’s spies. Based on the situation of the previous night, Caowu could easily draw the conclusion that Lu Ying was injured in the sandstorm, and the Zhenbei Army also suffered a lot. Intercepting them desperately before they fled back to Beiguan City will definitely kill Lu Ying and solve the confidant of many barbarians in the Zhenbei Army.
As night fell, Lu Ying led the main force of the Zhenbei Army hiding in the ruins of the ancient city, and according to the news from the scouts and falcons, raided the stronghold of Caowu.
After fighting for a whole day and fighting a tough battle with the Zhenbei Army, Cao Wu, who "luckily" escaped, thought that he had found out the reality of the Zhenbei Army. Sending people will definitely win a big victory and wipe them out.
Just as he was speaking passionately to the leaders of the various tribes in the big tent of the temporary stronghold, he wanted to persuade them to increase their bargaining chips and hand over all the manpower they brought to him, so that he could rush back to Beiguan with the remnants of the Zhenbei Army When they were left in the Gobi Desert in front of the city forever, a rocket hit the tent, and their camp instantly became a sea of flames!
The one-sided massacre is still going on, and every minute and every second, the lives of barbarians end at the hands of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army. The war has always been so cruel, and the barbarians will not be polite to the Zhenbei Army.
Several barbarian leaders yelled to surrender, but no one paid any attention to them. The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army seemed to have not heard them at all, and they were still serving with swords and arrows. In less than an hour, the cries gradually disappeared. , the entire camp was left with bloodstains of corpses all over the place.
Lu Ying ordered some soldiers of the Zhenbei Army to drag the corpse aside for identification, and soon someone recognized Caowu. He was hit by several arrows in the chaos, and he died with regret.
In addition, according to the costumes, several barbarian tribe leaders were identified. Lu Ying wrote them down one by one, and ordered his men to throw the corpses into the fire and burn them.
Yang Heng looked at the fire that had turned half of the sky red in front of him, and suddenly felt a chill for no reason. He seemed to see something shaking in the pile of corpses out of the corner of his eyes. He dodged subconsciously, and the horse standing behind him hissed, bang fell to the ground.
A figure jumped up from the pile of corpses, and a puff of black light shot towards Yang Heng. The distance between the two was less than half a foot. Yang Heng dodged suddenly just now and acted hastily. The murderer is about to succeed!
At the very moment, two shields flew out from Hengli to block Yang Heng's body, only to hear a burst of tinkling sounds, all of the puffy black light was blocked.
Seeing that he missed two hits in a row, the assassin paused, turned around and retreated. As soon as he turned around, he realized that the escape route had been blocked by people, surrounded by a dozen soldiers holding shields and spears.
Knowing that there was no way to retreat, the assassin suddenly laughed wildly, turned around again like crazy, and rushed towards Yang Heng again. This person was obviously equipped with a mechanism for firing poisonous needles. Of course Yang Heng refused to confront him head-on, so he picked up the two shields on the ground that had just saved his life and blocked them in front of him, while stepping back.
In the midst of the crisis, Yang Heng clearly saw the excited and strange look on the assassin's face, and suddenly thought to himself, isn't this exactly what Bai Ashi said last time about the assassin who shot at him before he died
Sure enough, the assassin only hit a few times with all his might before falling to the ground, bleeding to death from his seven orifices.
Lu Ying took two steps and said, "Your Highness and Mister have expected it. Fortunately, we have taken precautions, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
Yang Heng raised his eyebrows and said: "It's also because of General Lu's strict management of the army. It's a pity that only one person was arrested." This is not a polite word. Lu Ying's Suppressing North Army has strict military discipline, and they are not allowed to move around at will even during rest. There are one team, ten people for one ten, fifty people for one team, and they are not allowed to act alone, so it is very difficult for assassins to sneak into the army. Although there are not a few people around Yang Heng, they are very safe.
Outside Beiguan City is a large area of Gobi and Grassland. It is very difficult to hide and hide. The possibility of approaching and assassinating without a trace is even lower. The only chance is to mix into the crowd when the two armies are fighting.
Yang Heng and Lie Dang had thought of this early on, so they seemed defenseless just now, but in fact it was just an illusion to lure the enemy, and the two flying shields were not accidental.
The guards around him went up to check the assassin's body. The situation was basically the same as the assassin found last time. There was no trace of the assassin's body except for the mechanism that fired the poisonous needle. Yang Heng was not disappointed either. Ordered to cremate the assassin's body.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, a ray of dawn appeared in the sky, and a familiar falcon chirped overhead, and a black shadow circled twice over the Zhenbei Army and swooped down on the arm of a scout who was in charge of communication.
The scout untied the small iron tube from the eagle's feet, checked that the seal on the opening was intact, and then handed it to Lu Ying. Yang Heng's eyes flashed when he saw it, and he deliberately took two steps to stand beside Lu Ying.
Yesterday evening, Lu Ying also received such a small iron tube from a falcon. At first, everyone thought it was a military newspaper, but when Lu Ying unfolded it and looked at the writing on it, her expression changed... softened by more than a minute or two. , Immediately dismissed everyone, read the letter carefully and hid it close to the body.
Yang Heng swept his eyes at that time, and already roughly understood the content of the letter, it was nothing more than assuring Lu Ying that there was nothing wrong in the city, asking him to take care of himself, and not to take the risk of rushing back to Beiguan City. The handwriting was crooked, like it was written by a child who just learned to write, but when he saw Lu Ying's expression, he immediately guessed that the letter was probably written by that savage little beauty, Bai Fuling.
No wonder, that little beauty is just the daughter of a merchant, and it is not easy to read. It is difficult for her to write a beautiful handwriting. As far as I saw just now, her handwriting is just like hers, unruly, arrogant and casual, Compared with the handwritten love poems he often received from talented women and beauties in Beijing, it was a thousand miles away.
But for some reason, Yang Heng felt a little envious of Lu Ying... He was also in a crisis, but he never imagined that there would be any woman in the world who would write to him confidently and say: You have me at home, you can do your own thing at ease, Don't worry about miss.
Is that little beauty really as capable as Lu Ying said? Yang Heng was full of curiosity, and couldn't help but want to see what the letter received today would say.
Lu Ying calmly took out the letter paper in the iron tube and unfolded it. The two men were disappointed at the same time—the letter was written by General Shan Daogen, and only briefly reported the situation in Beiguan City, nothing else.
Lu Ying received the letter and simply replied a few words, and then ordered the whole army to retreat to the nearby camp to rest. They had been busy all night, and they were already quite sleepy. When they heard that they could rest, all of them had smiles on their faces. The supplies rescued from the barbarian camp happily retreated with Lu Ying.
Yang Heng's eyes were wide open. When these Zhenbei troops marched and fought, they had strict military discipline and appearance, but when looting and looting the property of the barbarian camp, they were so professional that even the regular bandits would be willing to bow down.
The barbarian camp was set on fire, but the bodies of the barbarians who escaped and were killed were carefully "cleaned up" before being cremated. Even the unburned tents were thoroughly searched several times, and all valuable things were packed into boxes. Go, leave nothing behind.
When Lu Ying's subordinates were doing these things, they didn't avoid Yang Heng and Lie Dang at all. They all took it for granted, which made them embarrassed to say anything.
In front of them, Lu Ying generously took out a unique horn-shaped jade cup with chi and tiger patterns from the confiscated materials, and indicated to the two of them that they could take it by themselves if they liked it.
Yang Heng is used to seeing treasures in the palace, even if there are some objects that he really likes, he doesn't want things taken from the dead, he shakes his head and refuses, and Lie Dang himself won't want it either, Lu Yingyang ordered the soldiers around him Put things away.
After the whole army was rested, Lu Ying led a large force to join the detachment in charge of luring the enemy before, and the large army headed for Beiguan City.
The small group of barbarian cavalry sent by Caowu to harass Beiguan before heard that Lu Ying was back, and immediately ran away without a trace. The people in Beiguan also heaved a sigh of relief. After announcing the great news, the martial law was lifted at the same time. The people flocked to the city gate to welcome the return of the Zhenbei Army, and the scene was very lively.
Cui Zhenyi was shocked when she heard the commotion outside the room, and was about to call for someone, when Fen Shuang came in and said happily, "Ma'am, the master has returned to the city, the martial law has been lifted in the city, and all the people are going to greet her."
Cui Zhenyi knew that it wasn't a barbarian who entered the city, so she immediately relaxed, and said coldly: "I'll go back to the city when I go back to the city, what's there to be happy about."
Fen Shuang couldn't figure out what was going on in her mind, so she didn't dare to say more, she lowered her head and planned to leave, but Cui Zhenyi stopped her, "What's going on in the West Wing?"
Fen Shuang said: "They went out early in the morning, and they said they were going to the government office to hold some kind of auction..."
What auction? Cui Zhenyi didn't understand, and she didn't bother to investigate.
Lu Ying came back, the first thing to do is to drive her away, it doesn't matter, she doesn't want to stay in this ghost place, she wants to leave here, forget everything that happened here! How to explain to her brother and His Highness after returning to Beijing, she has already thought about how to recover from her injuries in the past two days, no matter how difficult it is, it is better than staying here.
Bai Fuling knew that the news of Lu Ying's return to the city was earlier than others, so Shan Daogen sent someone to the official office to inform her. When she heard the news, the first auction in the history of Qi State had just ended, and the merchants in the official office looked excited, He was discussing with great interest the few exotic treasures that were auctioned at a high price just now, planning to send the precious treasures in stock to this auction in the future to sell for a good price, completely forgetting the hesitation and anxiety of being trapped in the government office.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Bai Fuling, who heard the good news one after another, smiled and pulled Bai Shanglu and said, "The nurses you found are really good, thanks to your preparations, otherwise the effect of the auction must be far worse." , or you are thoughtful."
Bai Shanglu's expressionless face also showed a few suspicious smiles: "It's lucky that the lady can think of the auction model. It's a pity that this is not a prosperous place like the capital, otherwise it will be even more sensational."
The tooth shop has been busy for the past few days, and in exchange for a lot of income, the most important thing is that it has shown its face in front of many merchants. Now everyone mentions Tongcai Dental Shop and they all praise it. Several wealthy businessmen even declared that in the future The appointment of the business is always negotiated by the dental firm, and such a reputation harvest is very difficult to exchange for money.
Bai Fuling also talked about Lu Ying's upcoming return to the city: "When the martial law in the city is lifted, I will go back to Baili Mountain first. All these miscellaneous things in the city are up to you. Remember to go to those shops to settle the bill. I will see this time Earned, it is estimated that you can complete the revenue task of the dental office this year ahead of schedule."
Bai Shanglu asked strangely: "You don't want to wait until the general returns to the city to meet you before leaving?"
"No, brother said that he would go to Baili Mountain to see me later. His Highness the Sixth Highness returned to the city with him. The assassin has not been caught yet. Brother is afraid that he will cause trouble again."
Bai Shanglu nodded and said nothing, thinking: I'm afraid that His Highness the Sixth Highness will provoke an assassin, and even more afraid that he will provoke you, right
Just like that, when Yang Heng and Lu Ying returned to Beiguan City, Bai Fuling's carriage had already left the south gate and headed for Baili Mountain. She didn't know that an unexpected news was waiting for her at home.
When Yang Heng returned to the city and knew that the beautiful woman had disappeared, he felt a little disappointed. He deliberately sent his cronies around the city a few times, and found that although several days of martial law had passed, the people in the city were very calm and did not have much resentment. They looked a little tired, but they all looked calm, and there were very few people who were anxious or worried. Many people were not even in a hurry to leave, and planned to stay in the city to do business.
Yang Heng listened carefully to what his subordinates had inquired about the various deeds of the Bai family in the past few days, and couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Lu Ying still designed and wiped out the remaining forces of Caowu so reassuringly after being caught by Caowu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then set off and return,
The little girl Bai Fuling seems to be arrogant and arrogant, but unexpectedly she is a first-class "good wife".
Lu Ying returned to the General's Mansion, explained the trivial matters, ordered the officials in the city to go their own way, and then set off for Baili Mountain. In the middle, she only went to the backyard to freshen up briefly, and even passed the East Wing without entering. She left without seeing Cui Zhenyi .
Cui Zhenyi leaned on the bed and listened to Fen Shuang's trembling report on Lu Ying's whereabouts, her face was expressionless, the more she behaved like this, the more frightened her subordinates became, and they couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
Everyone was worried, just kept praying to God, let Madam get better soon, let's get out of this ghost place quickly!
