Wutong Village.
The flaming cloud in the sky to the west is like a phoenix spreading its wings for thousands of miles.
Qiutong stood at the entrance of the village, looking worriedly at the road leading to Baishi Town, and put the head on the pile of heads aside.
Why hasn't the young master come back yet? It's already the evening of the next day, will something happen to the young master?
Qiu Tong's curved eyebrows were wrinkled and difficult to relax, and her eyes as gentle as autumn water were full of worry.
"Sister Qiutong, you put it crookedly again." Qingzhu complained.
She picked up one foot and dragged the headless corpse to the wall, and stacked it neatly with other corpses.
"What's the big deal if your head is tilted a little? These people must have no objection. Sister Qingzhu, you just have a lot of troubles. What did the young master call this? By the way, it's called obsessive-compulsive disorder!" Hongmei raised the knife and cut the body. The head was chopped off and he interjected at the same time.
"What do you mean I have too many things to do? Things like the Jingguan have to be placed neatly to look intimidating. If the head on top is crooked, how can it scare people? If it doesn't scare people, there will always be someone there. Come to harass me, what should I do if my wife is frightened?" Qingzhu said angrily.
"Everyone, please stop arguing. The young master is so powerful, he must be fine-" Yu Lan said weakly.
"Who said something happened to the young master? The young master is brave and invincible. If something happens to us, the young master will be fine!" Qingzhu turned around and shouted.
"Shut up! If the young master doesn't come back tonight, you should guard the village. I will go to Songjing to find the young master tomorrow." Qiu Tong scolded, and the girls calmed down.
The five of them and Lu Wu had been together since childhood, and suddenly they were separated for more than a day. They all became a little irritable and no longer laughed as usual.
"What I'm saying is that the young master must be fine -" Yulan muttered, pulling a few ownerless horses towards the village.
Wu State is located in the south and lacks horses. A war horse is worth more than a hundred gold at least, a better one is worth three to five hundred gold, and even better ones are worth thousands of gold.
The fifty or sixty war horses harvested in the past two days alone are an astonishing wealth.
Wutong Village is located in the south of Baishi Town. During the outing season, many people will pass by here.
But now Songjing is in chaos. Although all parties have some control and have finally completely collapsed, and there is no plundering of troops, there are still many people who feel that they have made a mistake and the situation is not good, and they are still trying to escape from Songjing.
Even after the defeated soldiers took advantage of the fire and made a profit, they were also ready to escape.
Among these people, those who are well prepared will naturally go all the way.
If they are not fully prepared and use force, they will attack the wealthy people along the way.
Mr. Lu was originally one of the rich men who was preparing to rub oil on his feet when he saw that the situation was not good, but he still had some luck and wanted to stay temporarily in Wutong Village to see the scenery.
As a result, he brought so much wealth that more than 200 carriages could not fit inside Wutong Manor, so they had to park outside the manor, attracting many uninvited guests. These people were not necessarily here for money, and most of them were just here. Hoping to get some carriages.
As a result, I lost my head here.
Since there were too many people harassing her, in order to prevent the master and his wife from being disturbed, Yulan came up with an idea - to pile the heads into a jingguan in front of the village, so that those passing by would have less thoughts.
Inside Wutong Villa.
Lu Jinhe picked up a cup of tea, took a sip of tea to calm down, then put the tea on the table at hand and asked: "Your name is -"
"Slave Jinju." Jinju was very discerning and took the initiative to give her name.
"I have wronged you all these years because of my ignorance," Lu Jinhe said.
Just kidding, these girls are not maids at all, they are simply gods of murder!
At first, he thought Lu Wu asked him to take his wives to escape because these five girls were superb in martial arts. Although it was unbelievable, since Wu'er suddenly became so fierce, then if these five girls It is not impossible to have strong martial arts skills by acquiring inheritance at the same time.
I hid in Wutong Village, thinking that it was quite remote and not too dangerous, but in the end, some soldiers came to kill me.
At that time, these five girls put on heavy armor, walked side by side from the entrance of the village, and fought with the cavalry - the scene was like five meat grinders pushing side by side, causing the people and horses to be smashed, and their livers and brains torn to pieces.
Originally, the five girls came out of the village to fight as women, but Lu Jinhe was very opposed to it - it was common sense to take advantage of the location to fight the cavalry, how could anyone take the initiative to go out and fight the cavalry on foot?
As a result, the five girls insisted that this was the young master's residence and should not be destroyed by others. They should put on heavy armor, pick up heavy axes and long knives and go into battle. No matter what they said, they refused to listen. Lu Jinhe could only ask people to prepare for the response.
As a result, the two sides clashed, and the five long-handled weapons slashed like thunder, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in their path - Lu Jinhe and his first wife Lu Chang were fine, but Lu Yun and Lu Shui next to them vomited on the spot. .
(Lu Yunshi is Lu Jinhe’s concubine and Lu Wu’s biological mother.)
"I don't dare to say this like a master. We are lucky to be able to serve the young master." Jin Ju bowed with her hands folded.
Jinju was careful when answering.
The reason why Qiu Tong stayed to answer the master's questions was because she was standing on the edge and only killed one person, and the armor on her body was not stained with blood.
——The old lady has already vomited. If she scares the master again, what will the young master do when he comes back?
It's a pity that she is too tall. Even if she bends her knees and lowers her head, she is still a little taller than Mr. Lu.
"The Lu family has wronged you. But fortunately, we can make up for it. The situation in Songjing is in chaos now. When the situation stabilizes, I will go to the government to help you get rid of your slavery." Lu Jinhe made up his mind to treat these five maids well. .
The Lu family is now in a precarious situation. If it really cannot stand in Wu State, it will have to flee to other countries, and it will need force protection.
The Lu family does have many guards and generals, but if they really leave their hometown and leave the Kingdom of Wu, not all of them may be willing to follow.
These five maids had grown up with Lu Wu since they were young. They might not be called masters and servants, but were actually members of the same family. Naturally, the Lu family could no longer treat each other as maids.
"Master, the young master has helped us get rid of our slavery. Now we are all the young master's guards." Jin Ju said hurriedly.
"Well, Wu'er did a good job, but this is Wu'er's doing. I can't make up for the apology in my heart - I wonder what you want, Jinju?" Lu Jinhe asked.
"I don't want anything, as long as I can stay with the young master." Jin Ju lowered her head and whispered.
Jin Ju's father was a servant of the Lu family, and her mother was also a maid from a branch of the Lu family. Her parents died when she was young, and she was taken to the Lu family and assigned to Lu Wu, who was still young at the time, as a maid - this was considered a member of the Lu family. The rule of taking care of one's own children is that they must at least provide food for them to eat - apart from Lu Wu and a few other sisters, she has no other relatives.
"What?" Lu Jinhe didn't hear clearly what Jin Ju said.
"I want to stay with the young master." Jin Ju slightly enlarged her voice.
Lu Jinhe sighed.
It's not because the request embarrasses him, but because the girl's request is really too low.
He opened his mouth just to make the girl put forward some good conditions, but the girl's request turned out to be that she could stay with her fifth son, and she didn't even ask for a higher monthly salary.
Such warriors who can wear heavy armor and fight against cavalry must be kept as treasures no matter which family they belong to.
In fact, as long as you pay a high price, it is not difficult to recruit a master of martial arts, but there are really not many places to recruit such warriors who can confront military formations head-on.
