Strong Woman: The Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 54

Several children suddenly stopped pitifully, and one of the three or four-year-old boy even had half a piece of meat pie in his mouth.

Looking back, Long Xinyu saw the skinny and stubborn little boy who bumped into her before. His eyes were full of guard at the moment, and he shouted at the little boy, "Awen, put down the meatloaf!"

The little boy named Awen suddenly let go, curled his mouth, and said tearfully, "Brother Helian, I'm hungry..."

Helen?

Long Xinyu is very familiar with this double surname, because there used to be an officer surnamed Helian in their army. Every time they got drunk at the celebration banquet, they would brag about their family history. this last name...

Hearing this time about a skinny little beggar named Helian, Long Xinyu's eyes almost popped...

However, this is not the purpose of her coming here. Thinking of this, she turned her head, strode to the door of the ruined temple, took out a bun from the food bag, tore off a piece, and chewed it in her mouth. While chewing, he handed the remaining buns to the little boy named Awen.

Seeing this, the little boy couldn't care less about looking at Helian's face, and hungrily ate the buns in his arms.

Long Xinyu then took out the contents of the food bag, tore off a small piece of each item to eat by herself, and handed it to the younger children.

Gradually, all the children in the ruined temple surrounded them, and Long Xinyu distributed the food to everyone as evenly as possible, without even looking at Helian in the middle.

After the division was over, Long Xinyu waved her hand and left the ruined temple with Lan Er.

Sure enough, after only fifty steps, there was the sound of kicking footsteps behind him, and Helian ran after him out of breath, but very politely shouted: "Please wait, sir, please wait!"

Long Xinyu raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, swallowed it with difficulty, and turned her head to ask seriously, "What's the matter?"

Helian stopped panting, and asked respectfully, "May I ask your name, sir?"

Long Xinyu smiled as coldly as possible: "Hong Shaolong!"

Helian bowed his head very cautiously and said: "Mr. Hong, I'm sorry, we wanted to run into you today and steal your purse again, I'm very sorry!" After finishing speaking, he saluted Long Xinyu and turned around Then go back.

Long Xinyu smiled, and asked unhurriedly: "I want to ask you to do me a favor?"

Sure enough, the boy turned around with a look of surprise on his face, and the light of distrust flashed in his eyes again.

Long Xinyu sighed with some distress, this boy must have experienced many changes, ordinary beggars, ordinary vagrants, would not have such clever eyes, and would not be suspicious of rare food thought.

Thinking of this, she said slowly: "I will leave here tomorrow, but my current life is very turbulent, I want to leave a way out for my future, Dayang is a good place, I hope to have some friend……"

As she said that, she squatted down: "It's a friend, not a so-called benefactor or anything else... Would you like to do me this favor and leave my only way out here?"

The boy was silent for a while, and then he saluted Long Xinyu very politely: "Mr. is willing to trust He Lianque, and the Helian family will definitely live up to what you entrusted to me!"

As expected, he was from a noble family, Long Xinyu was glad that she was not mistaken.

Taking out her purse, Long Xinyu handed it to He Lianque without hesitation, and said with a smile, "I believe in you, and I will definitely find a position that suits you here. In two years, I will definitely come back to see you!"

After finishing speaking, she pulled the surprised Lan'er away, turned around and left!
Halfway through, Lan'er finally couldn't help it anymore: "Miss, are you...?"

Long Xinyu smiled faintly: "That little boy was pushed here by a few beggars today. They asked him to steal, but he didn't want to. When he was caught, he didn't explain. Although he was skinny and dressed in rags, he It can't hide the aura exuding from him, it is the aura that can only be revealed from the bones of the children of the big family after countless generations of cultivation..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing: "His family must have encountered changes and hardships during this turbulent period, so they wandered and fled here. Although the figure is thin, but the bones are broad, it must be a big man from the north. The family, it is a little safer to escape here, but they are still so vigilant, this child is a talent..."

Lan'er was a little curious: "Miss, if you are a talent, why didn't you take him away directly, instead let him stay here?"

Long Xinyu shook her head: "Lan'er, he may be 14 or even 15 years old. He is already very old. After experiencing these hardships, he must have his own thoughts and ideas. If we take him back to the capital or accompany me For him, Miao Jiang is not the best way to develop, but it is a better way to leave him a wealth that can turn around and see how he uses it..."

Lan'er couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Miss, but with so much money, if he is robbed, or... there are many accidents, what should I do?"

The corner of Long Xinyu's mouth raised a firm smile: "Lan'er, don't worry, if he is that kind of person, he might not be able to escape here, he would have been silenced already!"

Hearing this, Lan'er didn't ask any more questions, and accompanied Long Xinyu back to the inn.

After leaving Dayang, Long Xinyu found out that the owner who sold hot and sour sauce noodles was also among them after joining the marching troops. She was so moved that she pulled Hongyun and laughed!

After leaving Dayang, she will enter the eastern region, and after staying in three big cities, she will reach the eastern border. Thinking of the non-existing Gu worms on her body, Long Xinyu suddenly felt a little itchy.

A strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart, and she kept looking back, but there was already a desolation behind her, and there was nothing there!

Lan'er comforted her with empathy: "Miss, don't worry, since that He Lianque is a child of a family, he will definitely not disappoint the lady's expectations. In fact, if he doesn't succeed, the lady's loss is only 200 yuan." It's only two silver coins!"

Long Xinyu smiled and did not explain further.

In fact, what she was worried about was not He Lianque, but behind her, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring closely at her.

When Tong Luoyang finished handling the affairs at hand and persuaded Ba Huo to replace him here, Long Xinyu and his party had already left Dayang.

Estimating the distance, Tong Luoyang also began to feel a little nervous.

After passing Dayang, there are two roads to choose from. One is to continue to the east directly, but there will be mountains ahead that need to be climbed, but this distance is the most direct.

The second is to bypass the mountains, make a turn towards the south, and then go around to the east.

Tong Luoyang is not sure which path Hong Tianshao will choose at the moment, and, no matter which one he chooses, the path may be changed due to force majeure.

If neither of these two roads can catch up with people, then they can only intercept them in Xia'an, another city in the southeast, or ask the defenders of Xia'an where they are going.

But no matter which way, he needs to catch up quickly.

Fortunately, he only needs to go alone. As long as he walks fast enough, he will definitely be able to catch up with Long Xinyu in Xia'an!

If God doesn't make fun of him!

A hundred miles away from Dayang, there are still some small villages, but Hongyun has been bypassing those villages, not disturbing the people. Although he was born as a sand bandit, his upright style has already made Long Xinyu treat him completely. Impressed!

When this person is a sand bandit, his style is that of a sand bandit.

When this man was a general, his style was that of a great general. Really, he was so adaptable to change!
Thinking of this, Long Xinyu suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from the back of her neck, she threw herself forward reflexively, and the horse under her immediately neighed.

In order not to affect the layout of the marching troops, Long Xinyu and his party always walked behind the logistics department, while Hongyun needed to go to the front from time to time to direct the troops forward, and only returned to the back to talk with Long Xinyu when she was free.

At this moment, the sharp arrow came suddenly, and when Long Xinyu fell down and the horse was frightened, Lan Er hurriedly rushed over to block Long Xinyu.

The little soldiers of the logistics troop also immediately drew out their swords.

Because when the troops in front passed by, nothing unusual was found here, so now the rear was suddenly attacked, and the troops in front did not react in time.

When a group of bandits charged in with big knives, only Long Xinyu, Lan'er, and a few more skilled logistics soldiers could resist.

Seeing this, Long Xinyu quickly pulled out the long sword on the horse's back, and shouted at the flustered logistics staff: "Everyone, don't panic, listen to me!"

The group of logistics troops escorting the grain and grass soldiers were relatively weak in combat effectiveness, or they were relatively old, and their reaction power and speed were not as good as those of these tough bandits. Long Xinyu frowned, and suddenly had an idea.

She commanded Lan'er, and quickly led a group of young and stronger soldiers to surround the grain and grass, and the rest stood behind her to confront the bandits, and at the same time sent a signal to the front.

When the troops march, the chariots and horses escorting food and grass usually walk at the rear. When the road is relatively flat, they are easily pulled out by the troops in front for a long distance.

Because Long Xinyu's status is to visit relatives with the army, she can't be involved in the front of the large army, so she and Lan'er have been placed in the rear. The road is relatively smooth, and the distance between the logistics and the army has long been drawn. It's a bit longer, it's probably a bit late to send people back after receiving the signal now.

However, Long Xinyu did not panic, commanded the team to leave the main road, and slowly approached the wall of an abandoned village in front. There were less than 100 bandits, and there were only more than [-] logistics troops. If the food and grass were protected, Long Xinyu and his party would surely be able to escape safely.

However, food and grass must never be discarded. However, as long as the delay continues, the bandits will definitely flee without a fight when the troops in front appear.

The bandits seemed to know this too, and one of the bandits with a beard who looked like Zhang Fei yelled, "Follow me, brothers!" and charged up with the bandits.

When Long Xinyu narrowed her eyes, she knew that the bearded man still had a little right to speak.
