Zhou Xu nodded calmly: "It doesn't hurt at all."
My heart is beating a little too fast and my mind is a little confused.
Other than that, everything works fine.
Chapter 198
A group of people appeared at the official road not far from Qionghua Prefecture. Wang Fugui wiped his sweat and followed Fang Yuhuo. At the front was the left deputy general of Ghost Slaughter Cavalry, who was covered in iron armor.
Not long ago, they heard the sound of fighting, and everyone quickly speeded up and finally reached their destination.
Jin Ben reined in the reins, turned his horse and turned to look at the group of men brought by Yi Fan, the left deputy general.
"Report to the general, these two were sent by General Lu Cong to welcome us into Luzhou City." Yi Fan said.
"Wang Fugui, a commoner, pays homage to General Ghost Slaughter." Wang Fugui said quickly. He had met Zhou Youzhou before, so he was sent by his own junior general to contact Zhou Youzhou and his party.
"This is our Colonel Fang Yuhuo from Luzhou City." Wang Fugui extended his hand to introduce the general beside him.
Fang Yuhuo cupped his hands and clasped his fists and said loudly: "I have heard of the name General Ghost Slaughter before, and when I saw him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Jin Ben nodded and said: "Captain Fang, please wait here for a moment, I will go and inform the prince."
"General, please excuse me." Fang Yuhuo said, watching General Ghost Slaughter walk away. Fang Yuhuo looked at the bright armor and armor and other objects piled up beside the official road, and then looked at the corpses of soldiers around him with solemn eyes. Ghost Tuqi is indeed a frontier soldier with outstanding combat capabilities.
However, it was too tough, and the armor on his body was gone before the death heat dissipated.
Wang Fugui sneaked closer to Fang Yuhuo and shuddered: "Is this someone trying to kill Zhou Youzhou on the official road?"
Who is so brave?
"I don't know." Fang Yuhuo looked at the young and strong corpses, and then looked at the ghost slaughter knights, all the cavalry were covered in iron armor, and the vital parts of their bodies were tightly covered. , everyone has knives hanging on their waists, there are clusters of arrows on their backs, and spears are like a forest. Even though they have seen it once last night, when they really face the thousand-man ghost slaughtering knight stained with blood, Fang Yuhuo still has to let Fang Yuhuo His voice lowered unconsciously: "I only know that if it is an interception, then the person behind it is really underestimating the enemy."
For such a thousand elite cavalry, it would be a joke if you don’t spend several times as many troops!
Jin Ben rode to the window of the carriage and reported in a low voice: "My lord, Lu Cong of Luzhou has sent Wang Fugui and Captain Fang to pick us up. Do you want to set off immediately?"
Xiao Luolan lifted the curtain and saw Wang Fugui not far behind under the curtain of rain. His figure was really easy to recognize.
Naturally, Wang Fugui also saw the Princess of Zhenbei whom she had only met once in the Yellow Crane Tower, when she was Mrs. Xiao. Thinking of his act of sending a beauty to Zhou Youzhou in the Yellow Crane Tower, in front of the princess, Wang Fugui could not help but reveal With a slightly dry smile, her plump and round waist bent with difficulty. She was worried that the Princess of Zhenbei would wear small shoes for her, but fortunately, the Princess just glanced at it and seemed to have forgotten the bastard thing she had done.
"Then let's go. We can arrive in Luzhou at noon." Zhou Xu said.
Jin Ben glanced at his mistress and hesitated.
"Is there anything else?" Xiao Luolan asked.
"All the enemies have been killed, do you want to behead them?" Jin Ben asked for instructions.
Xiao Luolan's hand on the window moved unconsciously, and her sleeves slid down to her wrists.
"No need." Zhou Xudao.
After hearing the answer, Jin Ben left immediately. Xiao Luolan closed the window to isolate the misty spring rain outside. The rain soaked her temples. She sat on the couch and raised her hands to rub them. After a while, she felt the carriage starting. movement.
Because of the rain, the carriage did not go very fast.
Xiao Luolan listened quietly to the movements outside the carriage, and heard the playful laughter of Zheng Yuxin who was accompanying him, and the voice of young master He Jin reciting scriptures.
Xiao Luolan listened for a while and found that Master He Jin was reciting the Purana Sutra. She often listened to it last year, but this was the first time she heard it this year.
"Madam, sleep with me for a while." Zhou Xu was lying on the couch. He didn't know when he took the hidden bag as a backrest. He smiled and patted the hidden bag. Without waiting for Madam's reaction, he grabbed her wrist and brought it to her. On the couch, I pulled a robe and used it as a thin blanket to cover Madam.
"Go to sleep, I'll watch over my wife." Zhou Xu looked sideways at his wife with a smile.
Xiao Luolan stroked her frightened heart, half-closed her eyes, and found that she couldn't sleep at all.
"Mr. Zhou." She opened her eyes helplessly, originally wanting Sect Master Zhou to stop staring at her, but another thought came to her mind as she spoke.
"Huh?" Zhou Xu stroked Madam's long hair, finally held Madam's hand, lowered his head and kissed Madam's wrist.
"How about we sleep together." Xiao Luolan said with concern: "You should also have a good rest." She turned over and faced Sect Master Zhou.
Zhou Xu kissed his wife on the forehead and said, "Then let's sleep together." After saying that, he skillfully grabbed his wife's waist and took her into his arms. The two were inseparable.
The man's hot breath sprayed in her ears. After a while, Xiao Luolan felt her ears and cheeks burning. She slowed down her breathing, raised her head slightly and glanced at Sect Master Zhou, and found that he fell asleep very quickly.
The robe was warm, the carriage was bumpy, the Buddha's voice was melodious, and accompanied by the patter of rain, Xiao Luolan, who was not much sleepy at first, gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
Zhou Xu lowered his head and looked at the sleeping lady with a red face and a red face, his eyes were deep and calm.
Wang Fugui was talking to Fang Yuhuo, holding an umbrella in his hand. When he held up the umbrella, it looked slimmer, which looked quite funny.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Zhou Youzhou getting off the carriage and hurriedly pushed Fang Yuhuo.
Zhou Xu was riding on a horse, with light rain blowing on his face.
"Young people pay homage to your lord!" Wang Fugui and Commander Fang bowed and said politely, "Your lord, do you still remember me?"
Zhou Xu looked at Wang Fugui, who had gained weight: "Remember."
"It's a great honor to be remembered by the prince." Wang Fugui smiled even bigger and said attentively: "My master, General Lu, has always been grateful for the prince's great kindness. Last night, I learned that the prince would not stay in Luzhou. Let Captain Fang and I go to greet you together, which can be regarded as meeting you, the prince."
"I just don't know..." Wang Fugui probed cautiously: "Which blind guy dares to intercept you."
"The Xiao family of the big fox." Zhou Xudao said. He didn't know whether Xiao Yuniang's identity was true or not, but she was definitely related to the Xiao family of the big fox.
Wang Fugui hissed: "That guy is so brave!"
Zhou Xu smiled and said, "There are also the brats from Wei Yanshan's family."
Wang Fugui was confused.
Fang Yuhuo said cautiously: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the young prince of Chuling usually only appears in Jinling and other places. Are you mistaken for the wrong person?"
Zhou Xugongxiu looked into the distance: "As for the face that looks like Wei Yanshan, I won't admit it. It's either his eldest son or his youngest son."
Only then did Fang Yuhuo remember that Duke Wei had a concubine, and he was very fond of the concubine and the concubine. Although the concubine was not as high-profile as the young prince of Chu Ling, he was also quite famous in Jiangnan.
If it is true, he is really young and frivolous, Fang Yuhuo thought, and looked at the armor and other items that were taken off from the back, feeling a little moved. Who would dislike having too many armors, bows, and crossbows these days.
"Your Majesty is so brave that he defeated the enemy army in one fell swoop." Wang Fugui said flatteringly.
Zhou Xu listened to the compliment without comment.
The team drifted away.
Until he was out of sight, Wei Wuji, who had been standing at the top of the Qionghua Prefecture city, said coldly: "Open the city gate."
The governor of Qionghua Prefecture was a little unable to react. He had just witnessed a duel between military generals on his side who had no backhand power. Now his legs were still weak. The God of Death had just left and was about to open the city gate?
"I said! Open the city gate! Didn't you hear me?" Wei Wuji pulled out Sun Yan's sword and put it on the neck of the Qionghua Prefecture Governor. If it hadn't been for him, his plan would never have failed! These mediocre people!
"Young prince, I have something to say, I have something to say." The Qionghua Prefecture governor raised his hand and asked the people below to open the city gate, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Wei Wuji turned around and went down to the city gate. The jade slave followed his master with a pale face. Sun Yan also felt unsafe and advised the wayward young prince: "Little prince, go down to the city gate now. What if Zhou Manzi and his men are ambushing nearby?" ? It’s better to go out later.”
Wei Wuji suddenly turned his head and stared at Sun Yan: "Uncle Wei is dead."
His eyes were red and his fists were clenched. Uncle Wei, who had been with him since childhood, was dead! Uncle Wei, whom his mother gave him, is dead!
Sun Yan lowered his head, not daring to look at the young prince's face, and fell behind the two of them. It would be bad now. Maybe he could not protect his identity as one of the five captains, and all the soldiers would be dead. I'm afraid The two hundred soldiers Wei Shu transferred from Shouzhou City are gone. Although they are not many, it is difficult to explain to Linghu Mao. It is better to let the young prince return to his territory as soon as possible.
Outside the city gate.
Wei Wuji looked at Uncle Wei lying in a pool of blood, leaned over and gently covered his eyes, letting him close his eyes. The tearing heartache made his face slightly distorted.
"Jade slave, take Uncle Wei's body back to Jinling and bury it properly." Wei Wuji stood up with a cold expression.
"What about you, Master?" Yunu panicked: "You and I can go back to Jinling together."
"Young prince, please don't be impulsive!" Sun Yan became anxious upon hearing this, for fear that the young prince would do something irrational.
"I will go back to Guangling." Wei Wuji said. He smiled coldly at Zhou Manzi and his group who were leaving. He would definitely make them pay the price.
Sun Yan was relieved and turned to look at Wei Shu with a heartbroken expression: "It's a pity that General Wei is dead. It would be better if he could be more careful and not be detected by the scouts of Ghost Tuqi."
"However, Zhou Manzi did something different this time and preserved the whole body of General Wei."
As soon as Sun Yan finished speaking, he received a slap on the face.
Wei Wuji put down his hand and said unbearably: "Idiot! Didn't you see that Zhou Manzi never acted provocatively from the beginning to the end?"
"He doesn't dare! He doesn't dare! Do you know?" Wei Wuji roared: "This is Jianghuai, this is our place. Beheading and demonstrating to build a temple in Beijing, this naked method of dealing with foreigners will be criticized by all The forces of the aristocratic families unite to exclude those who resist!"
The pressure from the outside will force the discordant aristocratic families to work together. Once Zhou Manzi's behavior crosses the line, then to the southern nobles, he will be no different from the Turks. Wei Wuji gritted his teeth and said with hatred in his heart. It is even more shameless for Zhou Manzi's bandit-like robbery practices.
"It's just a barbarian army from the north!"
He tossed his sleeves and left, striding forward.
Sun Yan carried Wei Shu, a limp and boneless bloody man, and Yu Nu followed the young prince.
When he was approaching Luzhou City, Zhou Xu was wearing a cloak and sleeves with his hands. He looked up at the gray sky. It had not cleared up after the rain, and he squinted and smiled.
"Everyone treats me like a piece of shit, and I treat everyone else the same way."
Chapter 199
Luzhou City.
In a tall building.
"Loquats in May are as yellow as oranges and are picked at the right time." Lu Cong heartily invited: "Our Luzhou loquats are also very famous, as well as cherries and mulberries in late spring. Prince and princess, please try them."
In the spacious lobby, Zhou Xu was sitting at the left table with his wife beside him. He said to the opposite side: "Thank you, General Lu, for the hospitality. I thought I had a good time with General Lu back then, but I didn't expect that things would be different when we arrived in Luzhou." No, I want to go to General Lu’s cemetery to pay homage tomorrow.”
Lu Cong said sadly: "My father is lucky to have an old friend like you, the prince."
"Seeing that you are now married and established, you must be happy to know General Lu." Zhou Xu toasted: "I have a close relationship with General Lu, so I would like to call you my nephew."
Lu Cong immediately raised his glass and stood up, beat the snake on the stick, and changed his title accordingly. He bowed deeply and said: "Uncle Zhou Shi, please bow to my nephew."
Lu Cong said guiltily: "Due to busy official duties in Luzhou last year, I couldn't take the time to go to Youzhou to thank Uncle Shi in person. I deeply regret it. You just happened to take your aunt to stay in Luzhou. I will stay in Luzhou longer this time so that I can I'll do my best to be a landlord."
"This is my wife, Mrs. Han. While my aunt is in Luzhou, I would like my wife to take you to visit the mountains and rivers of Luzhou." Lu Cong introduced his wife.
Xiao Luolan sat upright, smiled at the beautiful woman with her hair in a woman's bun, and said, "Then I'll trouble Madam Han."
