"Hey, I'm almost home. After I get home, I have to take a shower. I'm going to be stinky after I haven't taken a shower for so many days." Lu Yu sat in the carriage and sighed, his voice a little loud.
A hint of pleasure revealed.
Xiao Chu nodded, feeling a little excited. He hadn't discovered before that he had completely adapted to life here and felt a deep sense of attachment to the family.
At this time, Xiao Chu couldn't help but think of Liu. His mother hadn't seen her for many days, and she didn't know what was going on.
"I don't know if Mr. Ye Jinyu and the others have returned to Chongming Mansion. If they haven't come back." Xiao Chu thought slowly in his heart.
It was noon and the sky was getting hotter and it was almost midsummer. When the two of them were walking on the road, they also felt hotter and hotter.
"What the hell is this weather? It's so hot." Lu Yu sat in the carriage and opened the curtains of the carriage, trying to let the air inside circulate so as to cool himself.
Xiao Chu gave Lu Yu a blank look. According to his own personal situation, it was a blessing that you could come back safely. You kid still had so many complaints, which was too much.
"Xiao Chu, how long will it take for us to arrive at Chongming Mansion?" Lu Yu looked forward and then asked.
Xiao Chu looked into the distance, then estimated it, and then said, "It's about an hour and a half."
After speaking, Xiao Chu was not speaking, and was driving the car quietly. He had only one idea now, which was to get home quickly. However, according to the date, Ye Jinyu and the others seemed to be coming back.
At this moment, Xiao Chu suddenly had a question in his heart, you are the purpose of the Three Gods Sect kidnapped Qiu Chen, the little girl.
He didn't know much about this Three Gods Sect, but he had an intersection with them before. I remember that Xiao Chu was once kidnapped by their Liucheng High Priest. Thinking of this, Xiao Chu felt that he was
Fortunately, the situation was really dangerous. If it weren't for General Xiaowu's rescue, Xiao Chu felt that he would have been in a state of disgrace.
Judging from the memories he got from the people in the village, Qiu Chen's family was well-off, and the people in Hei Sanhui kidnapped Qiu Chen to sell her to the Three Gods Cult.
However, Xiao Chu then carefully searched the information in his memory, but suddenly found a big problem, which was related to this girl named Qiuchen.
From the memories obtained from Hei Sanshi, I learned that this girl has a great effect on the Three Gods. It seems that she should do something and have the help of this girl.
Xiao Chu felt relieved when he thought of this. No wonder the little girl Qiu Chen was worth 100,000 taels of silver. It turned out that it was helpful to the affairs of the Three Gods. Based on this clue, Xiao Chu continued to conduct analysis and from this Three Gods
According to the teachings, what they did must be something that harmed the interests of the court. To put it simply, it was against the court. Qiu Chen, the little girl, was very helpful to their affairs, so she indirectly determined Qiu Chen's
identity.
However, without verification, Xiao Chu did not dare to make a conclusion easily, so he had to keep this matter in mind. However, he was a little confused about what the Three Gods Cult will do, is it extortion of money?
Is this reason a little untrue? Is it something else that cannot be told?
Xiao Chu thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, because from the information he learned, Zhi could infer this much content.
However, Xiao Chu didn't care much. He just went home and opened his big restaurant. If he had the opportunity to open the branch to Chongming Mansion and Huaiyuan Province to attend the restaurant, he would be satisfied.
However, there is another thing that makes Xiao Chu feel uneasy, because there is another thing he doesn’t understand in the capital, that is, his identity is a matter of his own, and it’s not a good feeling to be a fugitive.
Besides, he also wanted to meet his biological mother, Jiang, again in this world.
At that time, the mother and son were sentenced to imprisonment by the emperor for life. I'm afraid that Jiang is still imprisoned now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chu felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He knew that his biological mother was imprisoned, but he was powerless. What a sad feeling.
Sitting in front of the carriage, Xiao Chu sighed long, then looked to the horizon, his eyes slightly red.
"Hey, Xiao Chu, why do you want to sigh? We are going home, this is a happy thing." Lu Yu seemed to be in a bad mood when he saw Xiao Chu's appearance, and he was so strange that he didn't sarcastically.
early.
"Yeah, it's almost home."
After walking again for more than an hour, an extremely tall city appeared in front of the two of them, with the three big characters Chongming Mansion written on the city gate.
When Lu Yu saw the scene in front of him, he was extremely excited and even poked out half of his body from the carriage and kept looking out.
"Haha, Xiao Chu, you really won the championship this time. If I weren't there, I'm afraid I wouldn't be back." Lu Yu looked at Xiao Chu with a look of gratitude.
Xiao Chu looked at Lu Yu and smiled. This expression was not common on Lu Yu's face.
"Let's go, let's go into the city." Xiao Chu said lightly.
Lu Yu didn't say much, and looked back and forth, feeling very good. This is the feeling of returning home. The heart that he kept holding was finally let go.
"You two, get out of the car for inspection."
As soon as Xiao Chu and his wife arrived outside the city gate, they were stopped by two soldiers guarding the city and ordered them to get out of the car for inspection.
This scene made Lu Yu a little confused. He went to Chongming Mansion but went home. Do he still need to undergo an inspection?
Just when Lu Yu wanted to report his identity, Xiao Chu pulled Lu Yu down. You know, it is better to have less than more things. He knew that Lu Yu's family would definitely not guard the city.
The soldiers took it seriously, but it was the most important thing to think that the two of them would go home as soon as possible, so Xiao Chu quickly stopped Lu Yu to avoid any trouble.
"Who are you two children? You are going out alone? Don't you know it's dangerous outside?" said the city guard.
In fact, this sentence expresses the doubts of the soldiers guarding the city. The two children in front of them are obviously less than ten years old, but they can actually drive the carriage around themselves. Compared with other children under ten years old,
I'm afraid I'm still playing with mud at my doorstep?
"Hello, my name is Xiao Chu, his name is Lu Yu. We two are students who came to Huaiyuan Province with Mr. Ye Jinyu to participate in the poetry competition. We got lost on the road and tried hard to deal with the twists and turns.
The criminal escaped from his hands and returned to Chongming Mansion. He also asked this elder brother to let us go." Xiao Chu said earnestly, and what he said was the truth. He looked at the soldiers guarding the city and said.
Lu Yu looked at Xiao Chu's sincere look from behind, and was a little surprised. Xiao Chu actually had such a side?
After listening to Xiao Chu's words, the city guard soldiers thought for a while, and then seemed to remember something.
"Oh, you two are Lu Yu, Xiao Chu, who is separated from Mr. Ye and the others in Huaiyuan Provincial Capital?" asked the city guarding soldier.
This question surprised Xiao Chu a little. Didn’t he expect that the matter between them had already reached Chongming Mansion? If so, it seems that Mr. Ye and the others should have returned here too.
Xiao Chu nodded and expressed his affirmation.
"So, are you the son of Mr. Xiao Chang'an and Mr. Xiao?" The soldiers guarding the city asked again.
When Xiao Chu heard this question, he was even more surprised. Was he so famous?
Among the many memories that Xiao Chu assimilated, this kind of thing has long been nothing new, and even made Xiao Chu feel empathy, so he did not show much resistance during these things.
Now Xiao Chu only has one idea in his mind, that is, to become stronger and protect the people around him.
The carriage galloped, and the three of them headed towards Chongming Mansion as quickly as possible. Xiao Chu knew that he needed to inform Mr. Chen and the others of the news immediately, so as not to make a mistake in their own way.
Xiao Changfu and Xiao Changan were also very anxious. Now they were all focused on the Xiao family's family, and they were no longer in the mood to pay attention to anything else. They just hoped that the carriage could quickly arrive at Chongming Mansion.
Of course, they didn't know that Chongming Mansion was likely to be captured now, so Xiao Chu naturally wouldn't think of them saying these things. After all, the source of the news is not easy to explain, so he had to hide it. However, Xiao Changfu and Xiao
However, the two of Chang'an still had a glimmer of hope for Chongming Mansion, hoping that the prefect could help find a solution. After all, Xiao Chang'an attended yesterday. The welcome banquet arranged by Lord Lu can be considered to be somewhat similar to Lord Lu.
It's related.
At the same time, Lord Lu also said at the dinner yesterday that he should always treat Xiao Chu as a friend. If Xiao Chu had any request, he would agree. So now Xiao Chang'an is to quickly arrive at Chongming Mansion and see him.
Lord Lu then asked him to send troops to save the Xiao family.
The carriage ran and continued to move towards the Chongming Mansion. When we were approaching the Chongming Mansion, Xiao Chu discovered that the skill of refugees was gradually increasing.
"Is this, has Chongming Mansion also been captured?" Xiao Chu thought to himself.
It seems that the Three Gods Cult is planning this time, and it can actually initiate rebellion in many places. In this way, the government will be in a hurry in the process of dealing with it. If they are overwhelmed, they will be
The easiest to succeed.
After walking not far away, Xiao Changyuan looked away and then breathed a sigh of relief. The person in front of him was the captain Lao Zhang.
Xiao Chu quickly drove forward, listened to the front of the captain Lao Zhang, and then asked, "Uncle Captain, aren't you with Mr. Chen and the others? Why are you left now?"
Xiao Chu looked full of confusion and looked at the captain Lao Zhang. At the same time, he glanced at the direction around him, but he did not see any familiar faces.
"Young Master Xiao, it turns out that it's you. Mr. Chen and the others have nothing to do. They are resting in front of me. I'll come out to find some water." The captain Lao Zhang said to them.
Xiao Chu did not ask them why they were here. From the information he received, he could basically judge the reason. It must be because there were rebels in Chongming Mansion, and they did not enter the city at all, so they delayed here.
The captain Lao Zhang got into the car and walked towards Mr. Chen and the others with Xiao Chu. Not long after, he saw Mr. Chen and his disciples, who were sitting under the tree to rest.
However, Xiao Chu could find that those who were resting under the tree were all younger disciples, and they thought that everyone else would go out to find water.
Xiao Chu got out of the car and walked forward, and said directly to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen, what are your plans now?"
When Mr. Chen asked this question, he was a little surprised and asked in confusion: "Do you understand?"
Xiao Chu nodded silently, then looked at Mr. Chen, waiting for his reply.
"Well, the news about you little guy is indeed very good. I took the students to the Chongming Mansion, but just halfway through, I saw that there were many refugees in the Chongming Mansion, and after asking carefully, I realized that
It turned out that Chongming Mansion was also attacked by bandits. We all didn't believe it. We rushed forward for a while and then we saw that the rebels were already siegeing the city. They were all black clothes and embroidered on their shoulders.
With three obvious sun signs, I now suspect that this group of thieves are the extremely vicious Three Gods."
Mr. Chen told his previous experience word by word, and also expressed his guesses about the identity of the thief.
Xiao Chu nodded silently, and then asked: "Mr. Chen, Chongming Prefecture and Dingyuan County are no longer safe now. I guess even Dingzhen County, Dingbo County should have been attacked by thieves. In this case,
Form is very unfavorable for us. You are the oldest senior among us. Now you give us an idea, where can we change now?"
Xiao Chu's eyes were full of serious expressions and asked Mr. Chen. This was not Xiao Chu's respectful words. I'm afraid there is no safe place in the entire Chongming Mansion. His mood is a little confused for a moment.
I don't know where to go.
The most important thing is that Xiao Chu is still worried about the members of the Xiao family. They are still trapped in Dingyuan County, and they don’t know how to survive. Now they have to find a way to rescue them quickly.
Mr. Chen shook his head, his eyes full of depressed expression. He was not sure how big the thief rebellion was, but even if a nearby county town was captured by them, the impact on them would be fatal.
If they are heading towards Huaiyuan Province now, there may be a way out, but Huaiyuan Province is blocked from the mountains here and is a hundred miles away. If they only rely on walking, it will take at least six or seven days.
, and these people are all a group of students. They are old and cannot keep up with their physical strength. Besides, do they have the necessary food and water? If they decide to go to Huaiyuan Province, they may starve to death before they reach the end.
