This battle was another brilliant victory for Wei'anbao.
Because everyone in this battle was wearing armor. The armor leaves on the people fighting at the front were still made of steel. Therefore, Wei'anbao suffered very few casualties in this battle, only about twenty people. Among them, most of them
Most of the injuries were minor, so after returning to Wei'an Fort, everyone was greeted with cheers of joy.
Although the residents of Wei'an Fort have long had a consensus that bandits from outside cannot threaten their safety.
But Zhi Gui knows that actually eliminating this threat is another matter. Not to mention, this time they eliminated more than a thousand bandits and killed so many bandits. How much of a feat is this? They are safe.
How big a reward can the castle get?
Everyone is looking forward to the reward given to them by the above.
In this regard, Lu Xu acted very calmly. Niu Er and the people around Lu Xu naturally knew the reason for Lu Xu's calmness, but Wen Yueqi was a little unable to understand.
From Wen Yueqi's point of view, Lu Xu had made great achievements this time. Such achievements could have promoted him to a higher position and made him rich. Why didn't he act like he was not excited at all?
In the past few days, the relationship between Lu Xu and Wen Yueqi has become much more harmonious. Ever since they realized that Wen Yueqi had in fact become a community of destiny with him, Lu Xu and Wen Yueqi had established initial trust.
If it weren't for the mountain of Wen Yuanzhong, they might have become a real couple long ago.
But even so!
Faced with his wife's doubts, Lu Xu chose to tell the truth frankly: "The position of Wei'an Fort is actually very embarrassing. When I, Daliang, still have firm control over Qinfeng Road, this Wei'an Fort is very important for deterring bandits in the Qinling Mountains and resisting the North."
All attacks by Tingren are of great value."
"But as it is now, when Qinfeng Road has just been destroyed by the Beiting people and everything needs to be rebuilt urgently, our Wei'an Fort seems to be very useless."
"Investing in Wei'an Fort at this time is not only possible to lose everything, but even if it succeeds, the actual return will not be large. I can think of the reason why Mr. Jinglue insists on investing in Wei'an Fort. I am afraid that he is running towards those few mountains deep in the Qinling Mountains.
Went to a big village."
Hearing this, Wen Yueqi couldn't help but nodded. Her stay in Wei'an Fort during this period was not in vain, these were all she could think of.
Lu Xu continued: "There is no doubt that this matter is definitely very difficult to handle. However, if Wen Jinglue still has a high-ranking official and a generous salary to promise, then there must be a brave man who is willing to share the worries of Lord Jinglue with the heavy reward.
There are definitely not a few people.”
"So, from the day he hired me, it was destined that he would not give Wei'an Fort any practical help. At most, he would only be responsible for Wei'an Fort's logistics, and he would get absolutely nothing else."
After listening to Lu Xu's words, Wen Yueqi's expression became slightly complicated.
Because Wen Yueqi could tell that what Lu Xu said was very reasonable.
After this period of contact, Wen Yueqi has discovered that Lu Xu is not as unsatisfactory as she imagined when they first met. The real Lu Xu is definitely capable of literary, military, courage and planning! What's even more rare is that,
Unlike those "talents" in the capital who can only "talk", Lu Xu is a real doer.
With such a talent, even with Wen Yueqi's knowledge, she had to admit that Lu Xu was a rare talent. If only compared with his peers, Lu Xu's excellence was even rarer in the world.
Wen Yueqi admitted that with Lu Xu's talent and appearance, even if she was still a wealthy lady, she could not guarantee that she would not look at Lu Xu.
Now that both of them have been beaten to the dust, it is logically a good time for them to support each other. But... Wen Yueqi couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment towards Wen Yuanzhong.
In the past, Wen Yueqi knew that Wen Yuanzhong was not a good person, and she also knew that Wen Yuanzhong was using his power to force her to do things for him. But Wen Yueqi was only afraid of Wen Yuanzhong, and now, she began to hate the person who controlled her life!
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Xu felt that Wen Yueqi was looking at him more and more strangely, so he couldn't help but ask a question.
Hearing Lu Xu's words, Wen Yueqi showed a sweet smile: "It's okay, I just think you are much more capable than I thought."
Wen Yueqi was telling the truth, and her happiness was not fake.
The moment Lu Xu's voice reached her ears, Wen Yueqi suddenly realized a problem. That was that Lu Xu actually lacked respect for Wen Yuanzhong!
When he analyzed Wen Yuanzhong's possible actions, his tone was not only devoid of awe, but even a bit hostile.
Wen Yueqi knew that Lu Xu would not be so willing to submit to others. He would definitely find a way to escape from Wen Yuanzhong's control. In this way, wouldn't there be hope for their lives?
Seeing hope, Wen Yueqi's mood naturally improved a lot, and her smile became much sweeter.
Coupled with her sincere praise of Lu Xu, even a straight man like Lu Xu was a little unable to resist.
Lu Xu looked at Wen Yueqi with some confusion. He held it in for a while before he said one sentence: "You...don't go out tomorrow!"
"You!" Wen Yueqi was ashamed and annoyed. She picked up a pillow and called Lu Xu: "Young disciple!"
Lu Xu didn't even know how he could say such a thing? So he didn't feel unfair at all about being beaten.
While being beaten, he was still thinking: "Does...do I really want to have something happen with her?"
That night, many people passing by Lu Xu's house heard the sound of laughing and playing inside, and everyone responded with a meaningful smile.
The next day, when Wen Yueqi did not go out as expected, many elderly women knocked on the door of Lu Xu's house carrying supplements...
Soon, Wen Yuanzhong's grain transport team arrived at Wei'an Fort on the deadline.
The officer in charge of escorting the rations looked businesslike. He didn't seem to care at all about the military exploits Lu Xu and the others had made, and then left in a businesslike manner.
Although it is not wrong to conduct official business, in the eyes of the people of Wei'anbao, the other party undoubtedly behaved a little indifferently.
They couldn't understand why the people above them were so indifferent when they had done so much for these people.
Lu Xu knew, however, that this officer must have been instructed by Wen Yuanzhong when he came. This cold treatment also paved the way for Wen Yuanzhong's later treatment of Wei'anbao.
But...
No matter what Wen Yuanzhong thinks? Lu Xu has his own calculations. He even wishes that Wen Yuanzhong would treat the people of Wei'anbao poorly. Only in this way will Wei'anbao completely give up his illusions about the government and focus on
