On the open plain, the horse team marched extremely fast.
Lu Yao's subordinates gathered together to form a formation, and the soldiers and horses on the opposite side were already swept away like a strong wind. The iron horse became more and more terrifying in its clanging momentum, vaguely like a huge iron pliers, holding everyone firmly.
When you look up close, the horses used by this cavalry were all tall horses with smooth fur, and the uniforms of soldiers were even more luxurious. The armor used by ordinary soldiers was similar to those of Dai County officers, and the armor of several military academys also had fine patterns made of silver wire. Looking at its bright and bright appearance, even a little scratch on the patent leather, it was obvious that they were all new equipment that had never experienced the sword and arrow stabbing. Horses were good horses, and armor was good armor, and soldiers and generals were naturally also brave generals. At a rough look, they were all burly men with wide arms and round waists and strong bodies, which were half a head taller than the entourages on Lu Yao's side, and a circle wider.
But Ma Rui and others relaxed instead. These weathered veterans naturally had a unique way to judge the opponent's true strength. For example, from the subtle movements of controlling horses and galloping, we can know that the equestrians' equestrians are very ordinary and may not have experienced the experience of fighting at full speed; from the exposed face and skin color on their hands, we can know that the other party seems to have rarely experienced the tempering of the harsh environment in the wild; if you observe carefully, there are no scars on their faces and arms, which is enough to prove that the group in front of you are pampered people, and are definitely not tough and courageous soldiers.
Someone whispered disdainfully: "It looks like a soldier, you are cowardly!" Then it caused laughter around you, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became a little funny.
For the truly powerful man who has experienced many battles, the bright and bright knights in front of him are simply not a soldier, and they can only be used to scare outspoken people who don’t know how to fight. Therefore, the contempt in his heart is probably similar to the wild wolf’s perception of the flock of sheep. If you really want to fight, you only need three or five charges to kill them to defeat them? Many people were thinking in their minds and then lowered their estimates of their opponents a little: Where do you need three or five charges? Once! One is enough.
"Get back." The smoke and dust stirred by the horses made Lu Yao cough a few times: "This group of people is a ceremonial guards held by high-ranking officials and nobles. Don't lose your etiquette."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hulala, the cavalry team opposite, pivoted his horse to both sides, and a man rode out from the middle.
This man held a golden whip, rode a famous horse, wore a brocade robe, a jade belt, and a bead crown. When he ran nearby, he gently tied the reins with one hand. His figure was heroic and sharp, his eyes looked like lightning, and he had a cool and proud demeanor, but his every move contained a faint feminine beauty... It was the Lord of Jingling County!
"How can Mr. Pei have time to come to this wilderness?" Lu Yao took the lead in greeting. He looked around with some sarcastic momentum and said, "The cavalry team is so powerful that Lu's unscrupulous subordinates are surprised."
Just as Lu Yao was speaking, the cavalry team that came with the county lord rolled in iron hooves, surrounding Lu Yao and others. Their grand momentum and majestic appearance made the visitors from Dai County ashamed to death. The county lord seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, and she replied with a smile: "I'm here to see you, Daoming! You haven't gone to the Yang Changshi's fort, so I'll find it easy."
Lu Yao was slightly stunned, and the county lord said again: "I have always known that Ming Xiongwu has brought the elite servants of His Highness the King of Donghai for the general to evaluate them. If you scare your noble family, it is not intentional."
With the noble status of the county lord, he should be a follower everywhere. The embarrassment in Taihang Mountains before the New Year was because the Japanese Duke was too incompetent and lost his troops and land as fast as sparks, which caught her off guard. When he came to Wei County, although he had an unhappy relationship with King Donghai because of his marriage, the King Donghai who was directly under the elite cavalry who was responsible for protecting her safety was not missing.
However, after all, the county lord is just a woman who is pampered and far away from the battlefield to fight, and her vision of military affairs is limited. Lu Yao said that her subordinates' cavalry team was so powerful that it actually implies mocking them. She didn't hear it, but instead she felt proud of it that overwhelming Lu Yao, and she also strengthened her courage.
Perhaps because she had been galloping for a long time, the county lord's snow-white cheeks were slightly flushed, and some sweat dripping on her forehead. Under the sunlight, the sweat dripping seemed to shine like a glittering dewdrop, which made the face look so clear and uninvited. When she was swimming and walking through the turbulent river with the county lord in the past, she was also in such a delicate and delicate posture... Lu Yao suddenly remembered the past again, and involuntarily felt his heart.
"But I don't know what Mr. Pei is looking for me?" Lu Yao closed his mind and asked cautiously.
The county lord pointed at Lu Yao with a horse whip in his hand, and pointed at himself again: "Daoming, you and I are old acquaintances, and they are both smart people, so you might as well speak straight to the point, and there is no need to do some boring tricks in Yecheng in front of irrelevant people. Here, I just want to ask you one thing."
Lu Yao was about to say something about the secret, so he waved his hand, ordered Ma Rui and others to retreat a little, and then said, "Pei Langjun, please come."
The county magistrate urged the horse to take a few steps forward: "Last year, at Funiu Village in Taihang Mountains, I invited you to go with me to Luoyang to serve His Highness King Donghai. At that time, you refused and there was no room for negotiation. Although I felt very regretful, I could only give up. Unexpectedly, in just one year, Daoming had already made such a career and had the strength to be valued by the central government. Therefore, I did not take it easy and wanted to ask Daoming again: Are you willing to serve the King Donghai?"
The two rode their horses very close. The county lord looked at the silent Lu Yao and sniffed. Lu Yao raised his hand and gently stroked the long mane on the horse's neck, and asked slowly, "What is the request of His Highness King Donghai?"
"I know that many of Ming's father, elders and clan brothers, died in the disputes between the royal family and kings. Daoming himself was also displaced and suffered a lot. As a result, His Highness Donghai King had no doubts, but was strange. But you can rest assured that I will never ask Daoming to participate in such dirty things."
"Oh?" Lu Yao raised his eyebrows, a little suspicious, and a little surprised.
The county lord stared at Lu Yao and continued, "It's not to be hiding it. Although the emperor and many court officials in Luoyang are famous, I regard it as a clay-sculpted wooden body, and can be controlled by the hands. Recently, those who have been concerned are only the Huns and the Hus in the northern border. Now that Wang Jun is dead, there is no strong minister in Youzhou, and I am afraid that it will be taken advantage of by Hu'er for a long time. Therefore, I plan to recommend Daoming as the governor of Youzhou. If Daoming takes charge of Youzhou, it is only necessary to cultivate common policies within and control the strong Hus outside. If Youzhou is strong, His Highness the King of Donghai will naturally be able to use his reputation. In addition, even if there is a change in the Central Plains, Daoming does not need to interfere... How about?"
If the county lord had made a clear promise, and only required nominal obedience to the East Sea King, there were no other restrictions or requirements. Lu Yaoqing couldn't help but waved his fist and said loudly: "If this could be done, that would be great!"
The joyful mood did not last long, and Lu Yao suddenly had some doubts. With the shrewd and capable county lord Jingling, how could he make such a biased proposal? Is there any inside story that he doesn't understand for the time being? Thinking of this, he immediately calmed down: "Pei Langjun is so kind to Lu, and Lu is deeply honored and favored. For a moment, he simply didn't understand how to repay him. What's more, Lu is well-known and has a shallow position. Even if he is lucky enough to have the opportunity to control Youzhou, how can he ensure the trust of His Highness Donghai in me?"
"This is just a trivial matter. Daoming's two problems are combined together, and it's easy to solve them." When she said this, the county lord suddenly felt a little shy. She lowered her head for a while, and gradually even her neck showed a bright red color. After a long time of courage, she must have heard of King Donghai's eldest daughter. Although this girl is already on the 10th year of the year, her character is not bad. It's only because of the wasted times that the time has not yet been called a person. If Daoming is interested... If she can become a father-in-law and son-in-law with King Donghai, then both parties will naturally have no doubts. In addition... this will be a reward for Mr. Pei!"
Lu Yao only felt a firecracker suddenly burst into his mind, and it was buzzing for a moment, and he didn't know what to say. Isn't the eldest daughter of Donghai the County Lord Jingling herself? Isn't it the "Pei Langjun" in front of him? Could it be that the county lord was actually proposing her marriage? This... Lu Yao was a little confused. Whether in the previous life or after traveling through time, Lu Yao was not a person who was indulging in the love between men and women. To some extent, he could even be said to be inseparable from my life. But if you don't understand this kind of confession in person... if you don't understand, you are an idiot!
The county lord Jingling is very capable of matching Lu Yao in terms of talent and appearance. It is absolutely not true that Lu Yao never had a good impression of the county lord. When Lu Yao woke up from the deep mountains of Taihang, the county lord and his group were his important companions and reliances. He always had a special friendship with this unscrupulous heroine. But... but... Lu Yao was too surprised. He thought about it and didn't know what he was hesitating.
Lu Yao was deeply shocked, perhaps with some doubts and secret joy. Many of the plans for interests were ups and downs in his heart, and then he was angrily abandoned from afar. The county lord also remained silent, as if the words just now had consumed too much courage.
After a long time, the county lord was the first to speak: "How is it? If Daoming doesn't speak, I'll just pretend you agree?"
Lu Yao stretched out his hand and touched the back of the county lord's white hand that was holding the reins tightly. The county lord trembled, but did not move his hand away, so Lu Yao gently held it.
"Why?" Lu Yao asked: "It was completely unexpected, really."
The county lord looked at Lu Yao boldly, but his voice became lower and lower: "I do! That's all!"
Lu Yao suddenly understood why the county lord brought hundreds of people so flamboyantly. Maybe in the heart of this woman who was used to participating in military and political affairs, she had the courage to speak when she had a large number of military horses. Lu Yao smiled because of his discovery. He looked at the county lord's dark eyes and nodded gently: "Okay."
"Then let it be, just let it be!" The county lord lowered his head and pulled back in a panic: "That... Daoming, don't worry, wait. I will be responsible for how to deal with this matter!"
Will you be responsible? What can you bear? Lu Yao gave birth to a good daughter out of thin air and felt like she was playing with by a playboy. He responded laughably and laughed and said, "Okay!"
The county lord rode his horse back to the cavalry team and said goodbye to Lu Yao. Hundreds of elite riders surrounded her and left as quickly as when she came.
