Scenery of the North Chapter 3 Step back and talk about it(1/2)

Lu An looked at the scenery in front of him for a while. There might not be so many opportunities to see such a scenery again in the future. Then he got off the city and came to Su Mu's side.

When Su Mu saw Lu An coming, he took out a steamed bun from the cage next to him without saying a word and threw it directly into Lu An's hand.

Lu An reached out to pick it up, and almost threw it away.

"Little girl, you want to burn me to death. How do I eat this? The key is that he is still not cooked thoroughly. There is one out of the cage. Give me one that is not cooked?" Lu An said angrily.

"This is a punishment for not coming to have breakfast. You will eat this at noon today." After Su Mu said that, he ignored Lu An and continued to do his own thing.

Lao Bai laughed secretly on the side, Lu An shrugged and walked away with the small steamed bun.

Looking at the city wall, Lu An finished eating the steamed bun, and suddenly realized that he didn't know what he was doing.

In the past, in order to live well, I carried a gun, held a knife, held a sword, and practiced myself with ordinary soldiers, or practiced myself harder than ordinary soldiers.

Now, I was disturbed by the bearded man, and I knew it was about to end. I no longer want to hold a gun, a knife, or even a sword.

He picked up the sword hanging around his waist, pulled the sword out of the sheath, and found that the sword body was full of holes, and even the sword body was a little bent. Lu An touched the sword body with his hand, it was cold, prickly, and a little prickly.

This sword has been with me for only three months, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I didn't notice it. Lu An sighed. This should be the fifth weapon he had used, two swords and three swords.

In terms of weapons, it is much better for Wu. It is said that every sword of Wu is made of fine iron, and its strength and resilience are much better than those of Ning. After all, it is a country famous for its weapons.

Just as Lu An was sighing, the bearded man came out of nowhere. He held a steamed bun in his hand and ate while walking, and came directly to Lu An.

Seeing Lu An sighing at the sword, he saw the broken sword and knew the reason.

"You prodigal son, how many weapons have you used? Fifth? Sixth? If you fight this battle for a few more years, your family will be defeated." Hu Yong said angrily.

"You are stingy. You have put away all the swords of Wu Kingdom. I don't know where to go. In two years, I have killed hundreds of people. You don't even give me a good sword, so I will use some broken weapons. If one day I'm killed because my sword is broken, I won't let you go." Lu An said fiercely.

Once, when Lu An came to Hu Yong to get a good sword and a good sword when the fourth weapon was broken. After sharpening his mouth for a long time, our General Hu threw it away and another Daning iron sword. He also said: "Of course, our Daning soldiers use Daning's sword, and our sword is much better than the Wu sword."

Lu An has always been resentful of this, but he did not expect that Hu Yong would be ridiculed by him and continued, "Look, this is the sword you gave him."

When Hu Yong heard Lu An say this, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that this was true. He stopped responding and took the steamed buns handed over by Su Mu and started eating them.

Lu An stared at Hu Yong without saying a word.

After a long time, Hu Yong coughed, then untied his sword, stuffed it directly into Lu An's hand, and said, "It was rewarded in the palace, made of black iron, and it was hard enough." After that, he turned around and left.

Lu An looked at the operation blankly, and before he could react, Hu Yong had already walked away.

The sword in his hand was much heavier than before, giving people a thick feeling. Lu An drew his sword out of the sheath. At first glance, the sword body was a little black, and the smooth sword body emitted a faint light, but the slender sword body felt particularly heavy, plus the black sword sheath, giving people a very simple posture.

Lu An was very happy. He turned around and looked at Hu Yong who was leaving. Seeing that he was walking very freely, he couldn't help but exclaim that the iron rooster had shed its hair.

On the other hand, although Hu Yong walked steadily, his heart was bleeding, his face full of regret, and he kept silently thinking in his heart, impulsive, impulsive...

Lu An put away his sword and hung it on his waist. Today is really a good day.

Su Mu saw Lu An's face filled with excitement in the distance, and knew that Lu An must have encountered a good thing, so he ran over immediately.

He pushed Lu An with his hand and asked, "Have you picked up the silver? So happy."

When Lu An saw that it was Su Mu, he seemed to be too happy. He was so easily seen through and threw the sword in the direction of Su Mu.

Su Mu was startled and hurriedly caught it. He looked at it, "Is this a bit familiar? Isn't this a big bearded sword? Why did he give it to you?" Three questions suddenly came out.

Lu An nodded.

"Isn't it just a sword? You look happy like a fool. You don't understand what you are thinking in your mind. It's better to pick up a hundred taels of silver than to get it." Su Mu looked disgusted.

"Pick up a hundred taels? This military camp is full of paupers. Where to pick it up? It would be nice to see a few copper coins. It's like a wealthy fan all day long." Lu An glared at Su Mu.

"We picked up the money, and then we can use the money to buy candied haws. We have eaten it once before. It tastes so good, and the taste is really unforgettable." Su Mu looked yearning.

When Lu An heard this, he thought that this little girl was very poor when she was a child, and she couldn't even afford candied haws. Although her family was very poor, she had eaten it several times. Then she touched Su Mu's head and said, "When this place is over, I will buy you several strings of candied haws."

When Su Mu heard this, he nodded happily several times.

At this moment, a Hu Yong's personal soldier ran from afar and came directly to Lu An and said, "Lu An, General, have something to tell you, and he will wait for you in the General's Mansion."

Lu An wondered, he had just finished chatting with me, and now he had something to tell me again, could he have to take the sword back?

The personal soldiers watched Lu An standing still, without any reaction. They thought Lu An was unhappy and asked tentatively: "Then I'll go back and say I didn't find you?"

At this time, Lu An reacted and said, "No, let's go." He picked up the sword in Su Mu's hand and walked directly towards Hu Yong's mansion with his personal soldiers.

It is said that it is the General's Mansion, but it is actually a slightly larger private house. The hall is a temporary conference room and a few small rooms. There are many people living there. There are basically people busy all night and it is very close to the city. Hu Yong can go to the front line in a short while. General Hu led the way and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, not once or twice. Lu An had been to this General's Mansion several times before, and it was noisy, and everyone inside looked towards the sky. Lu An didn't like it, so he never went there.

This time, the bearded man had just left and sent someone to call him over, but he didn't know what it was.

When he arrived at the mansion, Lu An felt a little unusual and so quiet. He asked, "Why is this place so quiet today? Where have those people with nostrils facing the sky gone?"

The personal soldiers replied: "I was driven away from here by the general this morning, saying that they were annoying to chatter every day, so they asked them to go elsewhere."

When Lu An heard this, he burst into laughter. It seemed that the bearded man was like him and could not stand them anymore. They used to be of some use, but now the war is about to end, so hurry up and let his ears be purified for a while.

The personal soldiers directly brought Lu An to the hall. At this time, there were already two people in the hall, one was Hu Yong, the lord general of the North City, and the other was Jiang Tian, ​​the deputy general of the North City.

When Hu Yong saw Lu An arrive, he waved his hand and signaled his personal soldiers to retreat.

Lu An said politely: "Meet General Hu and General Jiang."

When Lu An finished speaking, Hu Yong waved his hand and said, "Pretending to behave, get up."

Lu An kept looking at Hu Yong without saying a word.

Hu Yong was furious when Lu An saw him, and then he saw Lu An clench the sword on his waist, coughed awkwardly, and said, "I'm asking you to come here for a serious matter, not what you thought."

Hearing this, Lu An calmed down a little. Before, Lu An thought that this bearded man would not really feel heartbroken and regretful, and wanted to take the sword back.

Jiang Tian looked at the inexplicable conversation between the two, and then saw the sword around Lu An's waist, and immediately understood the meaning. He immediately came up to help Hu Yong to rescue the siege and said, "Lu An, there is something big this time, so he called you here. Moreover, our General Hu is not a stingy person, and he has never regretted it."

Hu Yong immediately continued, "I have to keep my word, there is indeed a big deal this time."

Jiang Tian spoke in a word and still relieved the embarrassment a little.

Deputy General Jiang Tian was born a few years ago. This person is proficient in military formations, Qimen Bagua, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the past few years, with his own talent, his official position has soared. A year ago, he came to the North City of Saibei to assist Hu Yong. In the eyes of the Wu army, Ning State had two generals, one literary and one martial, which was the biggest obstacle for Wu Poning. Wen refers to Jiang Tian, ​​and Wu of course was Hu Yong. But Jiang Tian is a little young now, so he is temporarily the deputy general. However, this person's mind and vision are far superior to Hu Yong. Therefore, although Hu Yong is the main general, many details are followed by Jiang Tian. The two joined hands to seize the North City of Saibei, which is also the biggest reason why the Wu army cannot defeat him for a long time.

The Wu army once said that if there is a Jiangtian in another ten years, Wu will be in great danger. It can be seen how terrible this person is in strategy, so everyone in Ningguo has great expectations for him.

Hu Yong pointed at Jiang Gan and signaled that you should tell me.

Jiang Gan nodded, and then said to Lu An: "This war should be over soon if nothing unexpected happens."

Then Lu An nodded and made sure he knew it.

Jiang Tian immediately turned his head and looked at Hu Yong. Hu Yong pretended not to see it, and Jiang Tian could only sigh.

"I didn't expect that General Hu had told you about such an important thing, so that I wouldn't have to talk about the reason." Jiang Tian continued.

Lu An nodded anyway.

"There is a serious matter below. News came from the top, that is, our side hopes to negotiate with the Wu army." Jiang Gan said.

"Negotiation? We negotiated with Wu State, are we seeking peace? We have been fighting for two years and so many people have died. Now we are seeking peace?" Lu An said.

Jiang Tian shook his head, shook his sleeves lightly and said, "It's us who give them a chance to live, not a peace."

Hu Yong also said at this moment: "Listen to General Jiang, and now everything about the layout of Saibei City is listened to him."

Lu An clenched his fists and then let go again, his face also became shady and gloomy. I wonder what the two of them were going to fight to give Wu Jun a way to survive?

Lu An calmed down for a moment and said, "What does that have to do with me?"

Jiang Tian looked happy, and some discussed it and said, "There are two things. The first thing is that you need to go to the Wu Army Camp."

When Lu An heard this, his eyes suddenly popped out.

"I? Go to Wu Jun?" Lu An shouted directly.

Hu Yong and Jiang Tian both nodded.

Jiang Tian said: "Why are you going? First, in the entire northern city of Saibei, there is nothing else that General Hu and I can trust except you. Even General Hu trusts you more than me."

Hu Yong immediately said, "General Jiang was joking, there was nothing."

Jiang Tian shook his head and continued, "Second, in terms of ability, at a young age, he could have been on the city top for two years. Who else can there be in the military camp besides you? I think General Hu was not as good as you at your age. Third, in terms of agility, you can maintain a good relationship with generals and soldiers of the city, and handle it well in terms of human relationships and worldly affairs. Fourth, in terms of crisis, you have a greater grasp of danger than everyone, and have helped Saibei City discover Wu's conspiracy more than once. These fully reflect your resilience, wit, courage and understanding, so we think you are the best candidate for this mission in Saibei City. If it weren't for the time being too urgent, I wouldn't have let you do such a dangerous thing."

After Jiang Tian said this, he looked at Lu An with a strange look, which was a look of envy and a little regretful.

Lu An didn't pay attention to this look, but after hearing these words, he said: "But I'm afraid of death."

Hu Yong burst into laughter, and this sentence was the same again.

Jiang Tian looked as usual, probably knowing that Lu An would say so, and ignored him and continued, "Since I asked you to go, I must first tell you the key points of this matter, so that you can't help but die if you are impulsive."

"Wait a minute, I haven't agreed yet, why are you telling me this?" Lu An hurriedly stopped him.

Jiang Tian spoke directly and said, "Your greatest role is to be my follower and accompany you."

"You go too? Is it a blessing for you?" Lu An said in surprise.

Jiang Tian nodded.

Hu Yong said directly: "The second thing is to ensure that you and General Jiang come back alive."

Hu Yong suddenly looked at Lu An with an elder's eyes and said, "This is the case. You and General Jiang join the Wu Army camp. You don't need to say anything throughout the whole process. General Jiang will say that you just need to ensure General Jiang's safety."

"Then why not bring more people?" Lu An asked.

Hu Yong replied: "We have just had contact with the Wu army. The other party agreed to meet, but there is a requirement. We can only be in the Wu army camp, and there must be no more than three people. To show sincerity, we agreed. Then General Jiang and I considered it. There is actually no difference between two people and three people. Moreover, this matter is confidential. The fewer people know, the better. So we decided that you and General Jiang would go."
