Bai Feng and Lou Jinghua continued to walk the last section of the road. Under the guidance of the servant, they came to the heart of the entire camp. A Chinese military camp was set up here. All orders for dispatching troops and generals were issued from here. issued outward.
Therefore, you can often see all kinds of people coming in and out of the camp.
The two outsiders stood there and waited for a long time, waiting for the boy who went to report to bring back the news. The location they were in could almost be said to be the most "prosperous" place on this high slope.
Here you can see officers from all walks of life. They are wearing clanking crotch armor. They are very energetic when walking. They all cast doubtful eyes on Bai Feng and the daughter of the Lou family.
There are also some meddlesome people who think that these are the young master and young lady sent by some public family to "build their merits". This kind of person is usually only responsible for eating, drinking and eating in the army. After receiving some merit and experience, he can go home smoothly and resume his duties, becoming an official and making a fortune.
Therefore, some soldiers couldn't stand it and walked up to these two seemingly young boys and girls to make a show of force.
They approached quietly, then suddenly made a sound, using more force than when they shouted military orders, and shouted in each other's ears: "Which young lady is it this time? Come to our military camp to play house" Home?"
After that, these soldiers walked away laughing as if they had won a war.
For a moment, such threats really frightened Lou Jinghua, but the young swordsman beside her quickly responded, protecting her fully behind his arms, and at the same time glared angrily at his intentions. Bad people.
Even if you don't win respect by doing this, it can deter those who bully others.
Lou Jinghua clung to the spot miserably, fearing that she would get into trouble again. After a while, the messenger boy finally opened the curtain and came out, inviting the two young men in.
At this time, there were many officers gathered in the camp, including a quartermaster who was reporting on matters. This made Bai Feng and Lou Jinghua, who suddenly arrived here, feel a little overwhelmed, because no one seemed to take them seriously at all, and they even began to suspect that the letter Zhao Kuo had written was nothing at all.
They stood aside and watched General Yao commanding various generals to strengthen defenses. Speaking of this, General Yao has three wisps of beard on his mouth, each of which is carefully maintained. The helmet on his head is decorated with red feathers, and his eyes are bright. However, his chin is narrow and sharp, which makes him look particularly sharp and unsightly. Close to humanity.
When General Yao saw the guests arriving, he just glanced at them casually, and then devoted himself to his work wholeheartedly.
Feeling completely left out, Lou Jinghua felt really miserable and couldn't express her pain in her heart. However, for the sake of her heart's wish, she could only stand on the sidelines and wait patiently.
When she was the most impatient, the curtain of the camp was suddenly opened from the outside, and the person who walked in was not any officer, but Yao Caiwei, whom she had met once at the Zhao family that day.
In the past, Lou Jinghua only heard about Zhao Kuo's elegant and interesting stories in the past, but now he is really more famous than just seeing him.
Although Yao Caiwei is not outstanding in appearance, her behavior is quite decent and her temperament is gentle and harmonious. When she met an old acquaintance, she immediately walked up to say hello and said, "Miss Lou, why are you here?"
"I...I came to discuss matters with your father." Lou Jinghua replied: "It seems...General Yao is very busy right now?"
"Yes, I recently learned that Heba's army is approaching, so dad has to rush to various military camps every day to strengthen the defenses." Yao Caiwei's expression still looked as sad as that day, and her brows seemed to have always been dull. It's the same, I haven't relaxed for a long time, "You'd better come with Caiwei first. When the generals' matter is settled, dad will naturally come to find you."
"All right……"
After the two of them finished talking, they immediately moved to another separate tent. Bai Fengruo followed closely. It wasn't until the two girls entered the tent that he stopped and stayed outside the tent. Despite being so evasive, he still inadvertently heard the voice coming from inside.
"After that day, did Miss Lou ever see Mr. Zhao again?"
"No, I guess he was taken home by Uncle Zhao and thought about it in front of the wall?"
"You don't know, Mr. Zhao, although he always talks sweet words, he always treats people with sincerity, especially in emotional matters. In short, he will not let you go..."
"Anyway...it has always been his wishful thinking. I, Lou Jinghua, have never thought about marrying him...at most, I just want to recognize such a good brother."
"Sister Jinghua, I just want you to think about it again. If you change your mind, Mr. Zhao will definitely ignore the past grudges. When the time comes that you join the Zhao family, are you afraid that your family's affairs will not be resolved?"
"Miss Yao, I know you are doing it for my own good and don't want me to risk my life to suppress the bandits. But I, Lou Jinghua, am not the kind of woman you think. If there is no other way, who would want to 'sell' myself? How about exchanging money? Now, I have the ability to personally get back the money that Uncle Zhao Shi helped us with, and I will not give up this opportunity!"
After a while, the sound of a woman crying could be heard intermittently in the camp. Then, Yao Caiwei walked out of the tent and said to the young swordsman: "My little girl, go check on your father first. I was wrong about what happened just now. Please tell Miss Lou on your behalf."
Bai Feng looked at the direction Yao Caiwei left with a lot of doubts in her heart. She immediately turned over the curtain and walked into the tent to check on Lou Jinghua's situation.
Unexpectedly, the daughter of the Lou family saw the young swordsman coming, and immediately cried out for him to get out, saying: "Don't come over, get out! I really don't understand why Zhao Kuo only picked a bitch to like..." She is like that, why should I be like that too?"
"Miss Lou, Miss Lou! Don't say this loudly. If you keep saying it, neither of us will survive today!" Bai Feng smiled and hurriedly went up to cover Lou Jinghua's mouth.
"Stop talking, I won't say anymore, get your dirty hands away! Ahem..."
Suddenly, Lou Jinghua straightened up her appearance and asked Bai Feng to stand behind her, preparing to use the toughest attitude to meet her opponents on the negotiating table.
General Yao knew what was going on and didn't bring anyone else with him except his own daughter. Although he still had a look of contempt on his face, he scolded Lou Jinghua and said: "I didn't expect that Miss Lou, as a daughter of a family and not from any family of generals, would not take care of her husband and raise her children well and run away to make a career in the world? This general has lived for more than forty years. I have never seen a daughter go out to do business on behalf of her father."
"Now that General Yao has seen it, what do you think?" Lou Jinghua took a sip of tea and responded with ease. However, her knowledge was still too shallow. General Yao only tried a little, and the Lou family's daughter began to be unable to resist.
"The general looked at the letter that Miss Lou presented and thought it was a good idea! However, these bandits are not ordinary bandits. If we could easily find their whereabouts, we would have found the stolen money long ago. Are you back?" General Yao glanced at his daughter and said meaningfully: "The name of the bandit leader is 'One Smile to Hell', which means that when ordinary people hear his laughter, they will die instantly. He is not a murderer. In the blink of an eye, a villain with mysterious movements and heinous crimes!"
Lou Jinghua said: "General Yao means that we can't find him? So..."
"So, even if dad is willing to borrow troops, you won't be of any use." Yao Caiwei then smiled and said: "My daughter admires Miss Lou's courage very much, but leading troops to fight is not something you and I can do?"
Lou Jinghua immediately responded: "Who said I want to lead troops to fight? Isn't it because of you? General Yao, how can you be willing to lend troops?"
"If you can find the whereabouts of the 'Yixiao Huangquan', so what if I personally lead the troops to suppress it?" General Yao said: "Let's forget about this matter. Miss Lou should go back and rest quickly. Don't do it. Exhausted."
After that, the Yao family father and daughter left the barracks one after another.
Lou Jinghua only felt that she had been tricked by others, and her anger became even more intense. She asked Bai Feng at the side: "Young Master Bai, what do you think I should do? How can I find that gang of bandits in this unfamiliar place?" Where is the thief?"
"Of course I want to ask the person who is most familiar with Yuyi Town!" Bai Feng said: "Now we can only go to Brother Zhao to find a solution. Miss Lou doesn't have to worry. If this matter cannot be solved, Brother Zhao will never Will give up easily!"
Lou Jinghua suddenly smiled happily, probably because he knew that he still had a big backer, so he managed to suppress a smile from the corner of his mouth.
