Lan Tian is a very strong person, and this is the first time he has cried in such grief.
Crying can be a good way to vent your emotions, but it is also mixed with unwillingness and powerlessness.
Ganji saw that Lan Tian was really crying. He stretched out his hand from the quilt, stroked Lan Tian's forehead and said, "My foster father has no abilities, so Qian'er can only leave it to you. Although you are not real brothers and sisters, you are better than real brothers and sisters.
Qian'er..."
"Dad..." Gan Qian had been crying until she was crying. At this time, she knelt down when she heard Ganji's call.
"Qian'er, you must listen to Tian'er from now on. I feel relieved to have him protect you..." Ganji said to his daughter again.
Gan Qian wiped her tears and said, "Dad, don't think too much. You will get better soon after taking the doctor's medicine. My daughter hasn't fulfilled her filial piety to you yet."
Ganji smiled bitterly and said: "It's so merciful, otherwise our father and son would have died a few years ago, but Tian'er allowed me to live the happiest years of my life. It was worth it..."
"Father, please stop talking..." Lan Tian cried sadly.
"Tian'er, Xuande is right. Your shelter can't stop all swords. If you want to avoid being bitten by dogs, you still have to have a stick in your hand..." Ganji sighed.
Lan Tian nodded and agreed: "I have planned to do my best to help my brother-in-law and prevent my sister from suffering the pain of being homeless again..."
Ganji nodded with satisfaction after hearing this assurance.
The two siblings in the house kept crying, and the doctor kept shaking his head in the hospital. Birth, old age, illness, and death are the laws of nature. In this troubled world, if you die with a handful of loess and your children crying, your life will be worth it.
After Cao Cao returned to Xudu, the census of the population in Xiapi City had been completed. In order to prevent Lu Bu's remnants from causing rebellion, the remaining generals still closely guarded the four gates of Xiapi.
A man with a hurried look came to the backyard of an inconspicuous house in the north of the city.
He was wandering next to the jujube tree and suddenly stepped on the ground covered with dead leaves. Then the dead leaves slid aside and a square-shaped cover was pushed up.
The man said to the person under the lid: "General, the census is over. You can bring the lady up now."
The person speaking was the plateau where the camp was trapped. When he was cleaning up the water in the north of the city, he specially dug several shelters nearby.
When Hou Cheng and others surrendered, Gao Shun took advantage of the chaos to take Lu Lingqi into the shelter to escape. Five full days have passed now.
Gao Yuan brought Gao Shun and Lu Lingqi into the ownerless and dilapidated house in front, and asked someone to prepare some hot food and send it over.
Gao Shun and Lu Lingqi had known about the news two days ago that Lu Bu and Chen Gong were defeated and died, and all their soldiers would surrender to Cao Cao. Gao Shun could only follow his orders to protect Lu Lingqi.
"What's the situation outside now? How many people do you have?" Gao Shun asked.
"In the two days after the destruction of Xiapi City, there was some chaos when Cao's soldiers marched into the city to plunder the city. Now it has initially stabilized. The population census was also completed yesterday. We still built too few shelters at the beginning. Currently, there are only ten people left in the trapped camp.
Several people, and deputy general Xu Shuang heard that the general was 'missing' and led his troops to surrender the Cao thieves..." Gao Yuan replied.
Gao Shun shook his head and said: "The matter of the shelter should not be made public, but the lord general ordered me to obey. I, Gao Shun, betrayed them. You go and call the brothers who are trapped in the camp."
"promise."
After Gao Yuan left, Gao Shun saw Lu Lingqi's dull expression and comforted him: "Miss, my lord died heroically. What a man did. You must live strong, whether you seek revenge against Cao Cao's thieves or hide in the countryside.
Gao Shun will definitely be with you in life and death."
"How can I seek revenge against Cao Cao?" Lu Lingqi smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Why don't you ask Mr. Ziyu for advice? If he hadn't reminded me, I might have gone with the Lord..." Gao Shun reminded.
"Lan Ziyu? Of course I have to go find him. This guy knows that my father is in danger, but he refuses to use tricks to save me. It's a waste of my infatuation with him." Lu Lingqi said coldly.
Gao Shun didn't say anything at this time. In his opinion, Lan Tian also had his own difficulties. If he trapped Liu Bei in injustice for the sake of the young lady, he would be really acting as a villain. It is already extremely valuable for the two of them not to help each other.
After a while, Gao Yuan and seventeen of his subordinates came in. They were all handsome and mighty, and they were all carefully selected hard-core confidants.
"General." Everyone said in unison.
Gao Shun stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "There are many patrols in the city. Don't make loud noises. Although the lord is dead, he has left an orphan. I am willing to obey his orders and serve as the master of the young lady. From now on, I will fight in the mountains and seas of fire. Even if I die, I will have no regrets. If you have any
He wishes to leave as soon as possible."
Upon seeing this, Gao Yuan immediately led everyone to bow down and shouted: "We are willing to swear allegiance to Miss, even if we die, we will have no regrets."
These people are all the confidants selected by Gao Yuan, and there is absolutely no way they would abandon their old master for wealth and glory.
After the soldiers swore an oath, Gao Shun turned around and knelt on one knee in front of Lu Lingqi, cupped his hands and shouted: "Lord."
The scorching scream made people's blood boil. Even a woman like Lu Lingqi felt the heroic meaning at this time. She finally understood why men are keen on power. This kind of power is really irresistible.
"General Gao, please get up, everyone, please get up." Lu Lingqi stretched out her hand to help.
After everyone stood up, Gao Yuanjin said: "Xiapi is not a place where we can stay for a long time. We should find another place to stay as soon as possible. However, the city gate is now tightly guarded and we will not be able to leave the city for a short time."
"What can I do? I still want to go to Xiaopei." Lu Lingqi asked Gao Shun.
Gao Shun stroked his beard and thought, "Although Cao's army has retreated, Xiapi is now without a master and is still under wartime control. After Cao's thieves return to Xudu, they will definitely appoint their confidants as the Lord of Xuzhou. By then it will be time for us to leave the city.
"
"I wonder how long it will take?" Lu Lingqi asked.
"I'm not as good as Mr. Ziyu in divination, but there should be news within ten months." Gao Shun said.
Gao Shun's mention of Lantian made Lu Lingqi's heart ripple again. She didn't know what she would do when she saw him.
Seeing Lu Lingqi's gloomy expression, Gao Shunqing knew he had said the wrong thing and quickly told Gao Yuan: "You must break up into parts and must not appear and appear at the same time, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."
"Well, in the past two days, Hucao sent officers to check the population. The few of us who came out first all lied about being refugees from other counties, and then registered them under false names." Gao Yuan said truthfully.
"That's very good, lord, let's just wait a little longer?" Gao Shun said.
"Well, just follow General." Lu Lingqi nodded.
Gao Shun and others lurked for more than ten days, and Cao Cao appointed Yangwu Colonel Che Zhou as the governor of Xuzhou.
It was during the Spring Festival, and Xiapi looked very depressed after the war. In order to restore the local vitality as soon as possible, Che Zhou withdrew the intensive patrols on the streets, and ordered the city gate guards to relax their inspections, and give the people a peaceful life.
Spring Festival.
After the lifting of military control, residents in Xiapi slowly began to go out to visit friends, and farmers from villages ten miles outside the city also frequently came in and out of the city gate. Lu Lingqi and others took the opportunity to sneak out of Xiapi City in batches.
