Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 38
Dongying Zhaoyuan 13 years, spring.

The grain transport officer escorted [-] shi of grain and grass from Beijing to Beisai day and night.

Although the war was calmed down, the morale of the army was broken in this battle, and only the hearts of thousands of people were united.

General Hussars Wei Dong sat in the big tent, cut a small piece of bacon on the military case with a sharp dagger, put it in his mouth and chewed it angrily: "Damn it, those scattered soldiers are really tough!"

With flattery in his eyes, the military adviser Luo Tiangang bent forward and said, "If the general wants to say that this fate is hard, why not us?"

It would be better not to say it, as soon as these words came out, it was like pouring a layer of hot oil into Wei Dong's brazier.

Luo Tiangang knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he fell to his knees with a thump, and quietly looked at the man above him through the crack of the door.

Sure enough, Wei Dong's face was ashen, and he was holding the dagger even harder, and the veins on his arms were bulging, which was quite ferocious.

That was something that he could not hold his head up for the rest of his life.

His life was actually saved by a group of scattered troops.

Two days ago, he led [-] soldiers to camp on the west side of a snowy mountain. He never expected to encounter an avalanche and buried all the food and grass he brought out from the original tent.

Without food and grass, their [-] lives will all be buried on top of this endless snow-capped mountain.

Misfortune never comes singly.

Just after escaping the avalanche, before everyone could catch their breath, they encountered two groups of enemy troops, flanking each other, and they were completely powerless to fight.

In the distance, a group of soldiers wearing Japanese battle armor rode up to the enemy army, carrying long knives and charging into the enemy army, roaring and fighting.

Wei Dong was surprised, this is a magic weapon that sprang out from nowhere, it can advance, attack, retreat or defend, without panic.

Seeing that they seemed to have reinforcements, the enemy army did not dare to fight any more, and fled in a hurry.

Putting down the long sword in his hand, Wei Tong got on his horse and looked at it carefully, it was the scattered army he had abandoned.

How arrogant he is, if he can be reduced to a scattered army to save him, he might become the laughing stock of the aristocratic family after dinner when he returns to the capital.

Although the battle was won, the tens of thousands of soldiers complained about Wei Dong.

After regaining his senses, Wei Tong scratched his head impatiently, and looked at Luo Tiangang who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy expression: "How did that group of scattered troops find their way down the mountain?"

Luo Tiangang didn't dare to offend him, squinted his eyes and turned around a few times, and hurriedly responded: "The general doesn't know, it was a soldier surnamed Lu who led the scattered army and found the way while the snow was melting."

These words seem to be credited, but in fact they put all the grievances on Lu Zhimu.

"Surname Lu?" Wei Tong whispered, and seemed to be quite familiar with this surname for a while.

"That's right, he gathered all the scattered troops and went down the mountain together. I heard that many soldiers in the camp now obey his orders." Luo Tiangang continued to fan the flames in Wei Dong's ear, trying to absolve himself of the crime.

At the beginning, he encouraged Wei Dong to abandon the thousand scattered troops on the mountain. If he didn't find a scapegoat, he would be crushed by the general.

Wei Dong was very happy in his life, but now Lu Zhimu has all his achievements, he is not reconciled.

Reason is blinded by vanity.

This beam can be regarded as knotted.

"Okay, okay, let that surnamed Lu wait for me, and I won't kill him when I return to the capital to see my master." Wei Dong picked up the dagger and thrust it into the bacon on the table to vent his hatred.

"General, why not?" With a sinister smile on his face, Luo Tiangang wiped his neck at his general.

Wei Tong raised his foot and kicked Luo Tiangang's waist forcefully: "Thirty thousand pairs of eyes are looking at this general, you make me have trouble with a scattered army? Finishing him here will only shake the army's morale."

After speaking, he looked at Luo Tiangang, who was frightened and out of shape on the ground, and he kicked a few times in a fit of anger: "I said, you are a military advisor made of a dog's head?"

After venting his anger, Wei Dong lifted the curtain of the big tent and walked outside.

Outside the tent is already a scene of thawing snow, many spring bamboo shoots on the ground have their pointed ends, and the frozen river has also cracked.

However, with a footpath of more than ten feet, many scattered troops gathered together, chattering and talking about something.

Wei Dong took a big stride, with his head raised high, like a lion who just won a battle, without a trace of embarrassment: "What are you doing?"

The scattered soldiers were startled. Looking back, they didn't expect that it was the general who left them in the snow to fend for themselves, and their expressions immediately became unfriendly.

No one answered his words

For a moment, the cold air on the snow was full of tension.

Lu Zhimu wiped off the snow on his helmet, got up and stood in front of Wei Dong, bowed and saluted, with a cold expression: "General, the villain's body is just right, brothers in the Mongolian army took care of him, and we chatted a few more words."

"you are?"

"Little man, Lu Zhimu."

"Are you the leader of this scattered army?" Wei Dong asked clearly every single word with cold eyes.

Lu Zhimu frowned, knowing that he was provocative: "The general is the leader of all armies. How can I use the word 'first' when I am a junior?"

"Even if you have made great achievements and been appointed an official this time, don't expect to live happily in Beijing. In my eyes, you are just the life of an ant!" Wei Tong sneered at him, asking him to weigh himself identity.

"Thank you, General, for your reminder." Lu Zhimu was neither overbearing nor humble, bowed with fists folded, and echoed Wei Dong's words forcefully.

After staring at him for a while, Wei Tong sneered and told the soldiers: "Pack your bags and return to Beijing tomorrow!"

Five days later, in the suburbs of Beijing, the school grounds.

General Wei Shengyu, wearing a purple robe and gold belt, proclaimed loudly: "This battle has been won, but all the troops must not slack off. Your Majesty is sympathetic to generals who have done meritorious service. They will be counted as military merit and given ranks and salaries."

When Lu Zhimu came out of the school field holding the uniform of a general in green robe and silver belt, he didn't even close his mouth, so he hurriedly found a post station and wrote a letter to his family.

The weather in Suzhou City is sunny and warm, and the people on the streets have already changed into thin clothes.

In front of Duke Lu's mansion, the old eunuch reached out and knocked on the tin ring with green animal face.

It was the boy Alu who came out to meet him.

Seeing ten guards wearing official uniforms outside the door, and seeing that the person knocking on the door looked like a palace servant, Ah Lu hurriedly gave a deep salute, knowing the rules of the Duke's Mansion very well: "May I ask your Excellency?"

"Quickly ask Mr. Lu to come out, our family has the will of a saint!" The leading eunuch, although the voice of the male duck is unpleasant, is full of joy.

"Ah, ah! Eunuch, wait a moment, the villain is going to invite him." A Lu committed himself, and ran to the backyard.

When Lu Jinyan heard Alu's description, he couldn't figure out what to think, but felt terrified, how could someone come from Beijing?
Not allowing him to think too much, he hurriedly gathered in the mansion up and down to receive the order outside the door.

In front of Lu Guogong's mansion, there are also many Suzhou people surrounded at this moment, all discussing and hoping for a good thing.

After a while, Lu Jinyan knelt in front of the door together with the family and servants of the mansion.

The eunuch glanced lightly at the people in the Lu residence who were kneeling on the ground, but was caught in the eyes by the girl in the crimson double-breasted feather gauze pleated skirt.

The girl seemed to feel that someone was looking at her, so she raised her head and smiled at the big eunuch, charming and charming, with spring waves swaying.

The chief eunuch blushed in a hurry and lowered his head. He had been in the capital for many years, and he had seen some beautiful ladies from the family, but the one he saw today was so charming, not to mention the bloody son, even himself, an eunuch I feel as if my soul has been taken away just by taking a look at it.

It's likely that there will be some chaos when such stunning beauties enter Beijing.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said, I think of Lu Guogong who has shared the worries of the imperial court for many years, and I am very happy, and I am here to return to Beijing to enjoy the honor of a lord. I respect you!" The eunuch spread out the bright yellow imperial edict and read it out.

"Lu Guogong? What are you doing so stupid, get the order quickly?" Seeing Lu Jinyan kneeling on the ground in a daze, the eunuch couldn't help reminding him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Shen Lan was in pain, and slapped Lu Jinyan's hand away, not being able to reprimand loudly when so many people were watching: "Why are you pinching me?"

"Am I dreaming if I don't give it a try?"

"That's pinching your own hand, too."

Seeing a pair of parents meeting again, Lu Zhiting shook his head while holding his forehead.

"Okay! The decree has also been delivered, Duke Lu, make preparations and leave early, the saint reads carefully." The eunuch saluted and was about to leave.

Lu Zhichen still had good eyesight, stepped forward and bowed to stop the eunuch: "Elder-in-law must have been exhausted all the way down the road, so take this little bit of money to treat Eunuch to a cup of hot tea."

The politeness of these words is really a businessman's style.

He weighed the beautifully embroidered purse in his hand, the money was more than enough to buy a tea house, not to mention drinking tea.

The chief eunuch was very satisfied with this "small gift", he smiled and said some flattering words before leaving.

The door of Lu's house was closed, and the people in the yard couldn't help sniffling.

The day has finally come!
