Four lanterns

Chapter 5

"Lu Zixi" Lu Zhao was lying on the carriage with his legs half curled up and his elbows covering his eyes.It can be seen that the corners of the eyes are deeply embedded with tears, and it should be that there are no more tears.

The "Young City Lord" soldier named Lu Zixi was not a few years older than Lu Zhao. In order to take care of Lu Zhao's emotions, Lu Zhiyuan, the current commander of Lu Ziying, specially chose such a young man of similar age to take care of Lu Zhao.

"What's the lack of the city master? The city is gone, the father is gone, the mother is gone, the family is gone, and everything is gone." Lu Zhao laughed at himself. "I just want to ask, what is Liyuanhuo you are talking about?"

"Shaocheng, Young Master Lu, I was young in the camp, and all I know is that Li Yuanhuo is a trap developed by Lord Xuanlang a few years ago. This trap will completely separate the enemy and Lu Beicheng from the outside world. I heard from my father that in order to build the Liyuan Fire Array, Lu Ziying basically hollowed out all the jade in Qingcang Mountain. Although it is boring to look at the lighthouse at ordinary times, I never thought that working in Qingcang Mountain would be more labor-saving than other places. .”

"Hey, my father didn't tell me anything, neither did my mother. I want to be like you, join Lu Ziying early, and become a real soldier." Lu Zhao, who had just recovered from grief, thought of this, face Can't hide the disappointment and sadness on the face.

"Master Lu is different from us. Master Xuanlang often said in the army that in the future, my fate in Lubei will be rewritten by the young master. Young master, although our Lu Ziying has a small number of people, they are all elite. The young master first obeys the order to go to the young master. Mother's house, we will take back Lu Bei and welcome the young master back." Although Lu Zixi was young, but after all, he was in Lu Ziying, and that kind of elite feeling naturally overflowed.

"Hey" Lu Zhao didn't want to talk anymore, turned around, lay down on the car, and looked at the north quietly. Through the copper buckle, under the sunlight, he could still see the red sky and the city in Lu Bei last night. Smoke billows from the ruins.Lu Zhao watched and fell into a deep sleep again, and Lu Ziying continued to move forward.There are two roads from Lubei City to Beiqi. One is that Lu Bei goes directly to Mengzi City along the Mengzi Corridor.The terrain of the Mengzi Corridor is precipitous, surrounded by the Qingcang Mountains and the Zongduan Mountains on both sides. A road directly connects Mengzi City and Lubei City. This is the main channel for trade and exchanges between the Northern Qi Dynasty and Lubei City.Because the mountains on both sides are stationed by the Northern Qi army, the lifeblood of this road was strangled by the Northern Qi.Dai Jing planned the route that day and asked the people to take this route. She wanted the Northern Qi soldiers to join the war and assist Lu Bei's army to stop the enemy and increase the survival of the people. But who would have expected that the enemy would be invincible.

Lu Zhao and his party took another road, that is, leave Lubei from the south side and head east. There is a narrow tunnel in the Qingcang Mountains. This road is the passage for Northern Qi to transport lamp oil to Lubei City. Fengyuan City, the capital of the country, was sent to Lubei Lighthouse.This road is narrow and not easy for a large group of people to pass, but it can cross other cities and directly enter Fengyuan City. Therefore, Lu Ziying took such a road.Now they have walked out of the tunnel and entered Zhiming Bamboo Sea.Zhiming Bamboo Sea is formed naturally and is connected to the remaining veins of Qingcang Mountain. It is precisely because of Qingcang Mountain and Zhiming Bamboo Sea that Fengyuan, the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was saved from the disaster of ice and snow.

"Stop" Lu Zhiyuan signaled Lu Ziying to stop.The fighters of the Luzi Battalion in the rear immediately moved forward, and together with Lu Zhao's squadron, moved closer to the front team. The troops on the two wings were torn apart, forming a formation similar to plum blossoms as a whole, protecting Lu Zhao and his party in the middle to the maximum extent.Lu Zhao rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked up, the bamboo seas on both sides spread towards the sky until the last trace of blue sky was squeezed dry.Below, the dense bamboo sea left only one path for human beings to pass, and a monk stood in the middle of this cramped path.The monk was dressed in black, and even the cassock was black, with a few lamp flames tattooed on the cassock as decoration. "Who are you, we are Lu Bei Lu Ziying, we are ordered to go to Fengyuan, please make room for us to pass." Lu Zhiyuan cupped his hands and said to the monk.The soldiers of Lu Ziying go to battle to kill the enemy's soldiers at any time, but they also understand that the world is big and there are so many strange people, so it is better to be cautious when leaving Lubei City.

"You know that Lu Bei has been slaughtered to death, and no one survived." The monk slowly put down his hood, revealing a cold and world-weary face. "You know that the disaster in Lubei is inevitable, and the remaining two thousand and seven hundred people in your Luziying are against the number of days."

"Your Excellency, how is my situation in Lubei? After I finish the escort mission, I will investigate clearly. Whoever committed the crime, I, Lu Ziying, and the Lu family's children must pay with blood, and seniors are not allowed to talk here." Lu Zhiyuan listened. Upon hearing the news of Lu Bei being slaughtered, the hand holding the spear trembled, but soon returned to normal.

"What's the name of the general, which one is Lu Zi Chun Xia Qiu Dong?" the monk asked.

"I am Lu Zhiyuan, the temporary leader of the army"

"Lu Zhiyuan, General Lu, the fate of Lu Bei is a destiny. It took three years for me to go up and down the Tianji City. It is calculated that Lu Bei will have this catastrophe. The whole family will be wiped out. There will be 820 people. You Lu Ziying will have 700 people. Humans should also be buried in this catastrophe. Escape like this is really rare." The monk's words were pearls, and the flame pattern on the cassock lit up. Like a ghost messenger, he used his hand as a knife to cut off a piece of bamboo. in hand.

"Your Excellency means that the two thousand and 700 people of my Lu Ziying are to be wiped out in this Zhiming Bamboo Sea? Your Excellency has underestimated the combat power of my Lu Ziying. All of the Lu Ziying, line up, Lu Zixi, take your The team escorts the Young City Master to go first." Lu Zhiyuan ordered.

"I will fight with Lu Ziying today." Lu Zhao stood up from the car. "Lu Zhiyuan, you are the counselor of Lu Ziying, and you are the temporary leader of the army. I am the young city lord of Lubei City. According to the ancestral system, I am the highest commander in the army." I don't know if I thought about it all the way, but Lu Zhao thought of it Such a reasonable statement.From being stopped by his father in the city lord's mansion, to being stopped by his mother in Lu Ziying on the day the city was broken, Lu Zhao felt that it was a shame that he failed to fall with Lu Beicheng.

"Thieves and bald donkeys, you can't judge Lu Bei's fate. Lu Zhiyuan, I order you to garrison the central army and advance slowly. Lu Zixi, your team will make a surprise attack with me. Try this bald donkey's skills." According to the photo, he drew out the sword that was under his body all the way, and issued an order to Lu Ziying.

"Obey!" Seeing the young city lord's confidence, the morale of Lu Ziying's generals was high, and they looked enviously at the soldiers of Lu Zixi's team. They knew what kind of honor it was to go to battle with the young city lord to kill the enemy.
