Fufeng Song

Even though they were in the deep mountains, the guards never lost their vigilance.They set up night guards on all sides of the camp to closely protect Pei Langjun's safety.At this moment, the sound of the handover of weapons came from the sentry post in the north.Hearing the sound as dense as torrential rain, it seemed that he had encountered a very powerful enemy.

There are six guards accompanying Pei Langjun.They are well-trained players with extremely quick reactions.The two immediately drew their swords and rushed to the sentry post on the north side.The other four people shielded Pei Langjun, forming a human wall, and at the same time urged him to move quickly.

Pei Langjun was calm and composed, acting as usual.Even at this time, he still didn't forget to hold the slender hand of the little maid beside him.

Lu Yao suddenly moved!

He was sitting upright, but suddenly he jumped up and rushed towards Pei Langjun.

The guards shouted angrily in unison, and shot to intercept them one after another.However, Lu Yao's change from extremely quiet to extremely dynamic was as fast as thunder, and the four guards failed to stop him.And the wrist of one of them went numb, and the knife in his palm was already in Lu Yao's hand.

Lu Yao pressed directly in front of Pei Langjun and swung his knife.

Pei Langjun's dark eyes already reflected the figure of Lu Yao wielding a knife.

Amid the sound of the blade piercing the wind, a long arrow flying from the pitch black night split in two under the blade.

At this time, Lu Yao stretched out his hand to hold Pei Langjun's arm, where he touched it, he felt soft and boneless.He didn't care about the many things, and said: "Offended!" Then he exerted his strength and pulled Pei Langjun behind him, and the two of them rolled backwards together.

Pei Langjun flew out about Zhang Xu, and fell to the ground screaming.At the same time, on the ground where he was originally, there were repeated "duk-duk" sounds, and three arrows had been pierced deeply.

It was too late, but it was so fast, Lu Yao had just dragged Pei Langjun to avoid the arrows, and the guards rushed forward desperately.The faces of several people were ferocious, and their swords were blazing, as if they regarded Lu Yao as a big enemy.

Lu Yao once fought dozens of rounds with Liu Cong, the number one master of the Xiongnu. His skills were so superb. Although the guards were one of a hundred warriors, how could he care about them?He wielded his sword casually and forced these people back.Afterwards, Pei Langjun stamped his feet and shouted from behind: "He's here to save me! Get back!"

Just as Lu Yao was waiting for a response, a loud roar came from the dense forest in the north: "How dare you, thief!"

This roar was like a thunder explosion in the deep mountains, startling the resident birds several miles away to fly away.

Lu Yao was not only surprised, but also overjoyed.With a long whistle, he raised his voice and said, "Old Xue! He Yun! Is it you?"

It turned out that it was Xue Tong who fought fiercely with the sentry guards.And the one who shot Pei Langjun with Lianzhu arrows was naturally He Yun who was good at archery.

After Lu Yao forced Liu Cong back, he fell into a deep coma. Xue Tong and He Yun took Lu Yao into the deep mountains and settled Lu Yao in an abandoned thatched hut.For the next few days, Lu Yao remained in a coma, and symptoms of suppuration appeared in various wounds.Both felt very anxious.He Yun was born as an Orion and knew a little about herbal medicine, so he went to the mountains with Xue Tong to dig for herbs.

The two planned to go and return quickly, but they lost their way and it took several hours to get back to the original place.What made them even more shocked and angry was that Lu Yao was taken away!

Since the breakout of Daling, they have relied on Lu Yao's leadership to finally escape.At this moment, Lu Yao's life was in danger, but he was taken away under their noses, and his life and death were unknown. How could they accept it?Xue and He were suddenly furious, and followed them all the way, vowing to find Lu Yao back.

The two hurriedly chased all the way, and He Yun's good track-finding technique came in handy, and he followed Pei Langjun and others to the camping place.Xue Tong and Anshao collided head-on, and when both sides were nervous and anxious, they immediately fought fiercely.And He Yun was a fierce and decisive character, and immediately shot an arrow to attack the enemy leader.

If it weren't for Lu Yao's recovery, the two sides would be fighting to the death.

Lu Yao exhausted his words and finally explained the identities of Xue and He clearly, and apologized to Pei Langjun for his rash actions just now.

The guards were extremely dissatisfied with the reckless behavior of the two, but Mr. Pei didn't mind.He said with a half-smile: "Since it's a misunderstanding, why bother? Master Lu thanked me for saving my life just now, and now you have become my savior."

Just now, he was pulled to the ground by Lu Yao, and his clothes were stained with mud.In the blink of an eye, he had returned to the tent and changed into a new suit, still looking graceful.Perhaps because Lu Yao not only showed his understanding of the art of war, but also showed outstanding skills, his attitude towards Lu Yao became more cordial, and he talked like a familiar friend.

The other abilities of this kind of high-class kid may be mediocre, but the ability to deal with people has been tempered since childhood.I don't know how much deep meaning is contained in the seemingly simple words. If you take their politeness seriously, you will definitely suffer a big loss.Lu Yao warned himself so, and answered carefully.

For Luoyang Gaomen, Lu Yao felt a sense of rejection.As a result, Pei Langjun showed his intention to solicit several times, but he was oblivious to the topic.But after all, he has been in the army for many years, and the people he comes into contact with on weekdays are all rude and uneducated Qiu Ba, and his conversation skills have long been thrown out of the blue.After only answering for a moment, sweat appeared on the forehead.

While he was talking with Pei Langjun, Xue Tong and He Yun confronted Pei Langjun's guards.He Yun's four arrows really offended the guards. One of the guards pointed at He Yun and scolded: "Stinky boy! Do you know who you almost hurt? If my husband is wrong, you have a hundred arrows!" The head is not enough to cut off!"

Although He Yun was young, he had an unruly personality forged on the battlefield, and he immediately retorted.The two sides quarreled, almost to the point of facing each other.Lu Yao had no choice but to resign, and took Xue Tong and He Yun away from the scene by the way, and agreed to go together tomorrow.

The three of them found a shelter from the wind not far from the camp of Pei Langjun and his party.

After a while, Mr. Pei Lang sent a maidservant to bring blankets and other things.Lu Yaolian thanked her more than ever, and politely sent the maid away.

The three picked up some dry grass and firewood, and lit a small fire.He fetched some more water, put it in a helmet, and hung it over the fire to boil it hot.The firewood made a crackling sound, and the flame gradually rose.Everyone sat around the fire, looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, and felt as if they had passed away.And He Yun smiled, and suddenly burst into tears.Lu Yao and Xue Tong knew that he was mourning the death of his brother in the same robe, and they both felt sorry for him.

Xue Tong threw firewood into the fire, and suddenly asked, "Daoming, are you going to Luoyang with Pei Langjun?"

"Huh? Old Xue He thinks so?" Lu Yao asked back.

"That Mr. Pei Lang's behavior is extraordinary, he is definitely not a child of an ordinary family. I have seen officials such as Bingzhou Biejia and Master Registrar, and their style is not one-tenth of his." Xue Tong said in a deep voice: " He thinks highly of you, and this is a rare opportunity."

Lu Yao nodded slightly: "The Pei family of Hedong is a noble family that can be compared with the Wang family of Langya. Eight Pei and eight kings are famous in the world. Not to mention that his family is married to the king of the East China Sea and has a high status. If Pei's favor can be won, The official career will indeed be much easier."

"We are good men who fight on the battlefield, and we have made great achievements in fighting with swords and guns. Why do you follow the trend and hang out with the high-school boys? Military lord, look at the appearance of those guards just now. You are obviously trying to save people, but they Guard you like a thief. This kind of dog sees people as inferior..."

He Yun couldn't help expressing his opinion.After saying a few words, Xue Tong shouted: "Isn't that just what you did? The grown-ups are talking, why did the yellow-mouthed children get in the way?"

Both Lu Yao and Xue Tong are in their thirties, while He Yun is only 17 years old, so young and far behind in official positions.When Xue Tong said this, He Yun curled his lips and shrank to a corner to sleep.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Old Xue, you are reckless, don't argue with him." He picked up the helmet on the fire, took a sip of water, and showed a thoughtful expression: "The choice of life path People drink water and know the sweetness and bitterness. The water that looks clear may be extremely bitter. And the sweet spring water may be poisonous..."

Xue Tong took the helmet and took a sip too.He sighed and said, "Daoming, I understand what you mean. Rushing to power is indeed a dangerous path."

"That's right..." Lu Yao stared at the steam rising above the helmet, and said slowly, "Mr. Lu Shiheng and Mr. Lu Shilong have Yin Jian in front of them, so I have to think about it."

Xue Tong nodded casually, and was about to say a few words when he suddenly jumped up: "Lu Shiheng? Lu Shilong? Daoming, you... are you a child of the Jiangdong Lu family?"

Lu Yao stood up, patted the clothes on his body, and saluted Xue Tong solemnly.

"Brother Xue is right. Lu Yao Lu Daoming is the direct descendant of the Lu family in Wu County. The family ancestor tabooed the word "Youjie", and the officials worshiped Dongwu Da Sima and Jingzhou Mu; The son-in-law of Wu Chenghou, the last emperor, served as a partial general and the governor of Zhongxia, and he was not in the army when Wu died."

He looked at the dumbfounded Xue Tong, and continued: "The members of the Lu clan followed Lu Shiheng and Lu Shilong to the north in the past, but in the end they offended the villain and were almost slaughtered. I am a person who survived under the ax of the court." , I really don’t want to make more troubles. Therefore, I have never confessed my family background before, so I hope my brother will not be blamed!”

Xue Tong wanted to get up to return the gift, but he stumbled under his feet and fell.Brother Pao Ze, who was born and died together, turned out to be the descendant of a famous family and the blood of the Soochow Emperor. This news was really shocking to him.

At that time, family status was the most important thing in character evaluation. Although the background of the Lu family in Jiangdong was not in the eyes of the northern giants, it was enough for ordinary people to admire; besides, Lu Yao was the grandson of Sun Hao, the last emperor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, so there was no doubt about his noble blood.As for Lu Yao's uncles, Lu Ji and Lu Yun, they are known as the heroes of Taikang, and they are also well-known celebrities and talents in the world.

"No wonder... no wonder... I should have thought of it long ago..." He murmured, "Daoming, with such knowledge and talent, how could you be born in an ordinary Qianshou; what's more, you are still married to the number one master of the Xiongnu, Liu Huan. Cong is an old friend...it turned out to be a child of the Lu family in Jiangdong!"

"Now that you know my background, Lao Xue should understand my difficulties, right?" Lu Yao sighed, "Luoyang is like a bottomless pool of muddy water. How amazing were Lu Shiheng and Lu Shilong in the past Yan? Once you arrive in Luoyang, you will lose yourself. In the end, you will be ruined. You will not be talented, you will not be successful in literature, you will not be successful in martial arts, your official position will be no more than a military leader, and you will have no one under your command... How dare I vote for that Tan Hunshui?"

Xue Tong was stunned, and said hesitantly: "Daoming, although the country has been dilapidated over the years, the weather in Luoyang seems to be different from the past when the king of the East China Sea is in charge. In the shogunate, there are even more elites from all directions, such as Xie Kun, Ruan Xiu, and Wang Dun, all of whom are world-renowned high-ranking scholars. If the business is done properly, the prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty can be expected..."

"Hahaha...hahaha..." Lu Yao suddenly coughed and laughed.

Although he and Xue Tong have only known each other for a few days, they have lived and died together several times, and they understand each other very deeply.

In Lu Yao's eyes, Xue Tong's character is courageous and strong, and he is a model soldier.However, he also has an obvious shortcoming, that is, he has an overly strong desire for the lintel of the Everbright family.The Xue family was a clan forced to move inland after the fall of Shu, and Xue Tong may have been quite discriminated against because of this.In his view, as long as he can honor his ancestors, he can ignore any difficulties and obstacles.This is the reason why he persuaded himself to follow Pei Langjun to Luoyang when he found out that Pei Langjun valued him.

However, in Lu Yao's view, Luoyang is really not a good place to go.Not only because of his scruples about what happened to Lu Ji and Lu Yun, but also because Lu Yao's memory from his previous life clearly told him that the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty would soon become the target of alien raiders.In the past few years, the former bustling place has been fighting continuously, and the bones are piled into mountains.Out of the ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, he does not want to use Luoyang as the starting point of his new life at all.

Of course, this reasoning cannot be explained to Xue Tong, so Lu Yao continued to sneer: "Hahaha, a famous scholar? Zhongxing can be expected? Old Xue, you should rest assured to be a warrior in the battlefield. It is really not your specialty to guide the country."

He patted Xue Tong on the back hard: "Old Xue, wait for me to tell you the details of these so-called celebrities and handsome men."

"Wang Yan Wang Yifu claims to be a great celebrity and a great talent who have never been compared to others in the world. But besides pursuing his own wealth and honor, this king likes to talk about metaphysics and never thinks about national affairs. Not long after he took office, He said that the king of the East China Sea appointed his younger brother Wang Dun as the governor of Qingzhou, and appointed his younger brother Wang Cheng as the governor of Jingzhou, using the strategy of cunning rabbits and three holes-Old Xue, you have seen that you are in the position of prime minister but you don’t want to help the situation, you only want to protect yourself A calculating magi?"

"Let's talk about Xie Kun and Xie Youyu. This person is good at the knowledge of "Laozi" and "Book of Changes", but he is famous because he sings and plays drums and pianos to please the powerful. The daughter of the Gao family next door is beautiful, so he looks for it. Opportunity to be frivolous, two front teeth were knocked out by Gao's daughter, and she was still stubborn afterwards, claiming that it would not affect his singing."

"Let's talk about Ruan Xiu and Ruan Xuanzi. This person is so eccentric. He thinks he's a master of the world, but he doesn't like to see ordinary people. If someone is regarded as vulgar by him, he will ignore it. Such people can only be Clay sculptures and wooden bodies are served, how can they be consulted for political affairs?"

"As for Wang Dun and Wang Chuzhong, this gentleman is no small feat. He is truly talented in both civil and military affairs, and can be called a rare hero in this world. But...Old Xue, I have something to tell you. In the past, General Longxiang Wang Kai entertained guests and persuaded beauties to drink If the guests can't drink enough, they will kill the beauty on the spot. The guests are afraid of causing more crimes, so they drink reluctantly. When Wang Dun is persuaded to drink, Wang Dun knows that he has a large capacity for alcohol, but he doesn't drink. Let the beauty be sad and afraid of losing color, Wang Dun is still proud and composed, with a heart as hard as a stone. That day Wang Kai killed several beauties, but he couldn't persuade Wang Dun to drink a bottle of wine. Wang Kai is certainly a beast in the world, but what kind of person is Wang Dun?"

"Old Xue, old Xue, the celebrities and handsome men in your eyes are actually nothing more than such cowards. You really expect such people to help the world? What this group of people are good at is only talking dirty and fighting differences." Lu Yao sneered again and again: " High bank valley, deep valley mausoleum. Those who mourn the present, do not punish! Those who expect them will be buried with them in the end!"

Xue Tong looked depressed and was speechless for a while.

Lu Yao couldn't bear it. He comforted Xue Tong and said, "We are in a deep mountain, and we don't know what the outside world is like. Why do you want to do so much?"

"Then what should we do next?"

Lu Yao hesitated for a moment: "I heard from Mr. Pei Langjun's guards that they will go to Funiuzhai tomorrow to replenish supplies, and then contact the guide again, and we will go with him. We will talk about the future in Funiuzhai."

He felt wave after wave of chaotic memories coming again, maybe it was the sequelae of time travel, and the disorder of thinking made him fall into violent dizziness.Lu Yao lay down on his back, and murmured, "Sleep, don't think about it."
