Chapter 165: Homecoming

Lu Bocheng dug out all the gold he had carefully saved, wrapped it carefully, and prepared to take it back home. ReadМ

After ordering a few soldiers and a team, they galloped all the way to the direction of Guangning Mansion, beating horses and galloping. The subordinates who followed were exhausted. I have never seen Shangguan look so eager. It's really strange.

Lu Bocheng's heart was like an arrow and he didn't dare to rest for a moment. There is only one month of vacation. One more day spent on the road means one less day to go home and reunite with my wife.

The horse was whipped repeatedly and almost fell to the ground dead, foaming at the mouth. It is really difficult to survive on the battlefield but die on the road.

When there were still five days left before Quang Ninh Mansion, Lu Bocheng slowed down his pace and even ordered everyone to stop in a small town.

Gouwa thought he was abnormal because he had been running for a long time and had eaten too much wind.

Who would have thought that Lu Bocheng was timid about being close to home?

It's been almost three years, and my wife doesn't know if she still recognizes him. You should recognize it. He hasn't become ugly. I wonder if that Chai Huo girl has become whiter or gained weight?

Lu Bocheng thought blankly. I ordered a few hot dishes in the inn and ate them with the hot rice. I felt so relieved that it felt a bit like the taste of my hometown. It was so delicious.

In the evening, I went back to my client and freshened myself up before lying down on the bed. I just turned over the pancakes and thought about every little moment of getting along with Su Qingyu. I wonder if my wife will be surprised...

After thinking about it for a while, I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, just as he was about to order everyone to set off, the messenger arrived unexpectedly.

He is asked to return to Chang'an quickly, there is a military order.

Lu Bocheng is so angry.

He touched the gold in his backpack, puffed up his breath, and bit his molar teeth again and again. He wanted to return to his hometown first and then transfer to the capital, but the messenger was watching. That was a military order, what could he do? Want to lose your head?

I had no choice but to write a letter in a hurry, give the waiter a sum of money and ask him to help him send it out, and then he endured his anger and drove towards the capital.

Gouwa was three feet away from him, and he didn't dare to get close for fear of being frozen by his air-conditioning.

This military order is coming sooner or later. It’s almost at home. Is there a military order? If they had come earlier, they wouldn't have to endure the wind and soil.

Gou Wa couldn't help complaining in his heart, and couldn't help feeling sad for Lu Bocheng. The wife he has always longed for, and he doesn't know when he will see her again.

Lu Bocheng galloped all the way and finally returned to Chang'an after more than ten days.

"Come back?" Cui Sheng looked at his cold face and couldn't help but sigh.

She patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Wang Hu was elevated to the throne by a group of subordinates in the Eastern Capital. Everyone in the court advised His Majesty to strike while the iron is hot. Your Majesty decided to send troops to the Eastern Capital to completely wipe out Wang Hu to avoid future troubles... "

Lu Bocheng let out a long breath.

"When we attacked Wang Hu, we wanted to pursue the victory, but His Majesty asked Wu Quanzhong to pursue him! He said that he wanted to test his loyalty. What was the result? Along the way, he picked up the valuables and valuables dropped by the opponent, which led to the collapse of the army. Wang Hu We can gather our troops and leave!”

Lu Bocheng dealt hard with the turbid energy in his heart.

"Wu Quanzhong also argued that he was a poor enemy and should not pursue him! In the end, Wu Quanzhong became the only one rich! What did our soldiers get? Why use our army this time? Others can't use it! We don't need to be wary of Tufan and Party item?”

Lu Bocheng couldn't explain how he felt.

With one strong kick, he knocked over the long desk in the tent.

Cui Sheng also felt very unhappy.

Victory was in sight, but he, Mu Congke, and Wu Quanzhong's army, with Wang Hu's less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, could completely annihilate him with the encirclement and suppression of the three armies. Unexpectedly, he was asked to run away again, and now he is back again.

Then I heard Lu Bocheng say bitterly: "If we want to send troops to Dongdu, which one among Wuning, Xuanwu and Tianxiong is not more convenient than us? Even if we mobilize troops from Hezhong Prefecture, Wu Quanzhong can still say no? Why not mobilize troops from Hezhong Prefecture?" But you want us to travel a long distance?”

Cui Sheng never thought so in his heart.

"Your Majesty said that he was afraid that Wu Quanzhong would become bigger. Last time, Shanxi and Hebei were placed under the control of Hezhong Prefecture. If he is allowed to win another battle, he is afraid that no one will control him."

Now think of checks and balances? Why did you get so excited in the first place that you allocated such a huge river house to him?

Seeing that he was very angry, Cui Sheng patted him again and comforted him: "We are soldiers of the imperial court and His Majesty's people. We have to obey whatever His Majesty asks us to do."

Lu Bocheng couldn't say anything else, so he opened the curtain fiercely, rolled up his sleeves and went out. If he didn't go out, he couldn't help but curse. About to commit a crime. He could hardly control himself.

Back in his tent, Lu Bocheng looked gloomy, touched the bag of gold again and again, and buried it again.

The next day, he marched to Dongdu.

As for Su Qingyu, under the leadership of Xiu'er, he sneaked out that night. Two women and a child evaded the surveillance of thieves and sneaked into a cave halfway up the mountain.

After a while, Xiuer's grandfather also came quietly.

Both parties greeted each other. Just get to the point.

"Two more people died today. Whether they were from our village or those of you who were captured from outside, it was a cruel and inhumane thing. I'm afraid this kind of thing will happen frequently. When the time comes, it will be your and Xiu'er's turn as well."

Of course Su Qingyao knew, but it was just knowing that she was so anxious that she went crazy.

He said to him: "I heard from Xiu'er that you want me to carry a letter for you?"

Xiu'er's grandfather, Village Chief Bai, nodded: "The people in our village are under their watch, so it's hard to move. If one person is missing, all of us will suffer. Many of us have already died. When the whole village is destroyed, I will become a sinner. Our ancestors have lived here for generations, hateful thieves..."

Su Qing'an interrupted him: "Who do you want to take the letter to?"

Xiu'er's grandfather straightened his face and said: "There are several villages near our village, not too far away. There are also many people in those villages. I want you to take the letter to several village chiefs and ask them to bring people to help. You just need to take the letter to the village closest to us."

Su Qing'an shook her head.

Village Chief Bai thought she disagreed and was disappointed.

Su Qing'an said, "Let's not talk about whether I can find the village successfully. Even if I find it, will they bring people to help us?"

Bao Zhaizhu nodded confidently, "Yes. Many years ago, we were the ancestors of the same village, and they separated later. Usually, we would visit each other occasionally, and greet each other when we saw each other while hunting in the mountains."

"There are three or four hundred bandits. How many people do you think they should bring to destroy them?" Su Qing'an felt that Bai Zhaizhu might be thinking too simply.

At the beginning, there were more than two hundred people in their village, and they couldn't resist for half an hour. The men were almost wiped out.

Other villages are probably about the same size as them. It's not a big deal if the men can spare thirty or forty good hands. How can they fight against three or four hundred armed and blood-seeking bandits?
