"How can General Lu let Tieshan lead his troops into the mountain?!" Luo Chuan took one look at Lu Dongfeng's calm look and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Tieshan has only been a hundred generals for a short time. To conduct reconnaissance in the mountains, you must be an experienced scout."
"Don't worry, Grand Administrator. Although Tieshan has just joined the army, he has followed me into the mountains since he was a child," Lu Dongfeng said with a smile.
"Besides, most of the snakes, insects and wild beasts in the mountains of southern Xinjiang are now gone, and the monsters are almost non-existent. There is no risk in letting him enter the mountains. As a father, I am a general after all. After all, I still have some selfish motives." Wang Ming said. He curled his lips and was about to speak, but when he saw Lu Dongfeng turning back to look at him, he shut his mouth, slowed down a little, and landed two or three feet behind the two of them, faintly separating them from the people behind them. open.
Luo Chuan and Lu Dongfeng looked at each other and sighed softly,
"General Lu can't be a favoritist, but Tieshan is different after all. It's just a matter of letting him be a private soldier and a hundred generals in the general's mansion. If something really happens, I, who made him a hundred generals, will feel uncomfortable. An." Lu Dongfeng smiled slightly,
"The son of Tian En can charge into battle, but it doesn't matter if Lu Dongfeng's son goes to be a scout." Luo Chuan wanted to persuade him again, but saw Lu Dongfeng smiling and waving his hands, so he had to give up for now.
The two of them walked forward in silence for a while, and then Luo Chuan looked at the people kneeling around and blocked by the black-armored army outside the official road. He lowered his voice and spoke again,
"General Lu, the matter about Sifan's sister..."
"Sifan's matter has made things difficult for the prefect," Lu Dongfeng interrupted Luo Chuan calmly before he could finish his words.
This time Luo Chuan was speechless. He looked into the dark crowd around him and saw no clear target.
Seeing Luo Chuan's silence, Lu Dongfeng put his hands into his sleeves again and said slowly,
"Tieshan had a very disobedient temper when he was a child. The more his mother and I refused to let him do something, the more he tried to do it. For this, I don't know how many times he got beaten. But when he grew up, he He has changed. He still seems to be going his own way, but in fact he is very obedient. He won’t do anything we don’t let him do even if he thinks about it again.”
"Sifan and him are exactly the opposite." The corners of Lu Dongfeng's mouth turned up slightly. He didn't know how warm and bitter it was.
"My daughter has been raised in the arms of her uncles and aunts since she was a child. In addition, her mother and I are very fond of her. She seems to be gentle and well-behaved, which makes people reassuring. But in fact, she has a very adventurous temper. , once you decide on one thing, you won’t be able to pull back ten cows.”
"She wrote letters to Zhongjing City when she was a child. Tianen told me that Tianen thought she was like me, so he thought that she and the prefect could get along like me and him before," Lu Dongfeng's voice became gentler. , but the smile on his face disappeared. He and Luo Chuan walked through the city gate together, slightly raising their heads and looking into the distant sky, where the clouds were rolling and relaxing.
"But Sifan is not a boy, so things are a little different." He looked at Luochuan and smiled gently again,
"You probably can't realize it right now. As a parent, sometimes you really think too much about your children, especially with Tianen's worrying temperament. Don't blame him." Luo Chuan shook his head.
"I don't blame the poor parents in the world."
"Pity?" Lu Dongfeng was startled, then sighed,
"Yeah, pitiful, pitiful." Luo Chuan said,
"But don't worry, General Lu. Sister Sifan will live well in Li Cheng." Lu Dongfeng stopped, looked back in the direction of Li Cheng, and then said softly,
"Okay." Luo Chuan stopped and before he could stand still, he saw that Lu Dongfeng had turned around again.
"After talking about these housework, it's time to talk about business," Lu Dongfeng looked solemn, glanced behind him, and saw Wang Ming setting up a soundproof array between his raised hands, and then said to Luo Chuan,
"I have received Qiu Feng's letter. Combined with the Taiming Army's latest discoveries in the mountains of southern Xinjiang, we can deduce some things." Luo Chuan raised his hand to interrupt Lu Dongfeng's intention to continue, and said quickly,
"General Lu, wait a minute. Halfway down the road south, Wangchuan Jianxiu Qingyun, the real person, came to me and said that she came from the land of Nanyi and met her in the land of Yaoyi south of the mountains in Nanjiang, Li County. We have arrived at a gathering place where an extremely large beast tide gathers. Have the Taiming Army scouts investigated this matter clearly?" Lu Dongfeng frowned slightly, then relaxed.
"A few Taiming Army scouts did approach the area south of the mountains in Southern Xinjiang, but they never brought back such clear news. Judging from their losses and what they saw, it was generally the same result," he looked at Luochuan asked again,
"This Master Qingyun is the one who rescued the Grand Administrator at Liufeng Mountain before?"
"Yeah," Luo Chuan nodded,
"Master Qingyun has come to Taiming with me now." Lu Dongfeng tilted his head and looked behind him.
"Wang Ming just sent a message to me, saying that the female Taoist's strength is unfathomable. She must be the Qingyun Master, and the child next to him... is a demon?" Luo Chuan said without turning around,
"He is a loose person from Sun Moon Lake. He doesn't know much about the affairs of the monsters. He is just interested in the world of the human race. He met Master Qingyun near the gathering place of the beast tide and followed her to Central Continent." Lu Dongfeng took a look. Luochuan said with a smile,
"This monster looks like a child. The prefect cannot really regard him as a child. It is impossible to say that the child's skin is living in an old monster over a hundred years old." Luo Chuan also laughed when he heard this. Following Lu Dongfeng's example, he put his hands in his sleeves and said,
"I watched his movements and demeanor, and asked him about the basis of his logic. It can be seen that no matter how many years have passed in this monster body, he is still just a little monster in childhood. It is just that compared to human children of the same age, his body is Being in the human world, he is more wary and fearful, and many things are difficult to find out in a short while, but give me some time and I will gain something." Lu Dongfeng glanced at Luo Chuan in surprise, and then said,
"At least he appeared south of Lijun. Combined with Qiufeng's letter, we can judge that the three powerful sects of Nanyi, including Riyue Lake, are probably really setting their sights on Lijun, or... Yongchang!”
"Yongchang?" Luo Chuan was startled and said,
"I asked Master Qingyun that the location of the beast tide gathering place is approximately due south between Taiming and Baitong City." Lu Dongfeng looked to the south and shook his head.
"If the three major sects really focused on Lijun, how could they gather a tide of beasts south of the mountains? You must know that the mountains in southern Xinjiang are known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains, with ravines and canyons as thin as leaf veins, and continuous peaks with lush vegetation. It is true that they have tamed a huge tide of beasts south of the mountains. A single pass in the mountains can consume half of them. How can we have more layouts in the mountains? The threat to my Li County will be much greater. ?" His voice was calm, but his tone was very firm,
"Furthermore, Lord Taishou, do you know what the south of the mountains...means?" Luo Chuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, and then frowned.
Lu Dongfeng already sighed softly,
"An eventful... autumn."
