Chapter 150: Leaving the house and breaking the thief
The brightness of the torch lasts forever.
In the evening breeze, Xu Mu raised his gaze and looked at the dozens of young men standing in front of him. Every familiar face looked at him firmly.
"Chen Sheng."
"My boss, I don't... look at Zhuangzi, I want to go to the border with my boss to fight." Chen Sheng's eyes turned red and he spoke nervously.
Xu Mu was startled, a little funny.
"I originally wanted you to go."
Chen Sheng suddenly became ecstatic and ran to Xu Mu's side in a few steps.
"Lu Feng, Lu Lao."
Lu Feng and Lu Lao were about to run closer with joy on their faces.
"You two... stay in the village. If something happens, go to Changjia Town and ask Master Chang to help."
Lu Feng and Lu Lao looked at each other for a while before retreating helplessly.
Xu Mu also felt a little helpless. At the beginning, the five horsemen worshiped him as their boss, and they were destined to follow them through life and death.
Chen Sheng, Zhou Zun, Zhou Luo, and the other two are Lu Feng and Lu Lao. It is not an exaggeration to say that these five people are his old team members, they are all heroes who were killed with one sword.
"Brother Tian, come with me."
Tian Song had a straight face, even though his body was still a little injured, he still walked out steadily.
On the way to the border, we must ride on horseback. Xu Mu didn't want to take all thirty good horses with him.
What's more, there will still be three thousand old soldiers from Yuan Tao and eighty knights sent by Chang Silang.
After ordering a dozen more young men, enough for twenty, Xu Mu waved his hand and told the villagers to disperse first.
"Chen Sheng, take the people down to prepare, not only two wooden guns, but also iron bows and arrow pots. You must prepare more. In addition, each person should bring two sets of hemp noodles."
"Don't worry, boss."
As soon as Chen Sheng ran back, he was caught aside by Lu Feng and Lu Lao, who punched him two or three times.
In the evening breeze, the torch finally burned to the end, making the night around Horseshoe Lake dark again.
"Go back and have a rest early tonight." Xu Mu sighed, grabbed the hand of the maid's wife, and started to walk into the village.
What surprised Xu Mu was that his wife Jiang Caiwei lowered her head and remained motionless.
"What's wrong? Don't worry, it won't be a big problem this time."
I say this every time, but luckily, I escape death every time.
"By the way, I'll tell you the locations of the four treasure chests."
Xu Mu pointed in a direction and suddenly felt something was wrong. He seemed to be explaining his funeral arrangements.
Sure enough, Jiang Caiwei's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she hugged him and started crying.
Xu Mu's heart was aching. The border was at war, who could say that the journey would be safe. Besides, Jiang Caiwei had also come out of a refugee camp back then, so she naturally knew the dangers involved.
"Don't cry, I'll be back soon -"
"Xu Lang, leave a seed."
Jiang Caiwei raised her head and her expression became extremely serious.
Xu Mu was stunned for a moment. In his impression, his wife was always a thin-skinned person. During this period, due to the affairs inside and outside Zhuangzi, he often did not take into account his wife's concerns.
"Xu Lang, stay, leave a seed!" Jiang Caiwei stood in the night with red eyes, crying again.
Xu Mu responded with a slight cry, then picked up the poor Jiang Caiwei and walked into the woods nearby.
The ancients had a saying of expressing their longing for each other. If he is not here, or he died at the border, what will happen to the little maid and his wife, and how will they survive in this life?
unknown.
In the era of war and chaos, his biggest thought was to go on a peaceful journey with his little maid and wife.
Without any hope of hitting the target, Xu Mu hugged Jiang Caiwei, and the two of them melted into a ball in the night.
A long time later, even though Xu Mu was at the border, he still clearly remembered Jiang Caiwei's murmuring cry in his ear that night.
…
In the early morning, the dewy haze began to wet people's eyes.
Jiang Caiwei tied up her bun and put on a new plum-colored skirt. She stood in the morning breeze and slowly tied Xu Mu's robe and armor.
Lie Ma was beside him, snorting coquettishly.
After tying the robe armor, Jiang Caiwei carefully raised her hand and inserted a peace charm into the collar of the robe armor.
"I'm not in Zhuangzi. If something big happens, I will run to the back mountain. There is a cave to the south of the back mountain. I put some dry food there."
Jiang Caiwei shook her head stubbornly, "I will wait for you at Zhuangzi and look after the family business for you. I will also find ways to do more private wine business."
"It's a bit silly..." Xu Mu's heart ached, and he took his little maid's wife into his arms.
"I don't know when I will return. If Mr. Xu doesn't come back in half a year, I will take people to the border to find him."
Xu Mu closed his eyes tightly and resisted the urge to cry.
"When I get back, I will go to Changyang General Office and ask you to be my wife, Xu Mu."
Jiang Caiwei bit her lip and nodded. After Xu Mu took the horse and took two steps, her eyes turned red and she stood in the morning light, covering her mouth and whimpering softly.
Xu Mu gritted his teeth and did not look back.
The figures of the twenty riders have all put on their robes and armor, taken their swords, guns, bows and arrows, bid farewell to their parents, wives and children, and followed behind with desolate expressions on their faces.
"We are waiting for Ci's family to be thieves! If I don't do it to Di Gou, I swear I won't pay him back!"
"My boss once said, why don't the man take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states in Guanshan!"
"If I die, I will thank the common people, and none of us will be ordinary people!"
"Do you dare to go?"
"Let's go together!"
More than twenty fierce horses mounted on them, without any pause, raised up the dust all over the sky, and rushed towards the vast road ahead.
Jiang Caiwei ran to the intersection, her whole body covered in tears. Behind her, many villagers also bowed and bowed.
"My son Li Poshan is the best general in the world!"
The old scholar was about to step out of the building drunkenly. If Chen Dati was not there to stop him, he would probably have fallen to his death.
In the breeze, Chen Datie narrowed his eyes, looked at the disappearing figures in front of him, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
…
Changyang City.
Sitting under the weeping willow tree, Yuan Tao turned pale from coughing. He finally managed to hold the medicinal soup in his hand steady and drank it all in one breath.
"Master, my little boss has already gone to the border."
Yuan Tao did not answer, but turned his head, wrapped his cloak tightly around his body, and quietly looked at the color of the lake in front of him.
After a long time, he got up quietly.
"Gu Ying, take good care of my little boss Zhuangzi. If there is anyone who has no foresight, you will use the knife! If trouble occurs, I will take care of it!"
"Master, don't worry!"
Changjia Town.
Tsuneshiro was tying his robe while biting the steamed bun in his mouth. From time to time he looked far away, looking at the winding forest road ahead.
"If the young master wants to send it off, he should do it earlier. My boss is already far away."
"I won't give it away." After swallowing the whole bun, Chang Shiro let out a long breath and slumped down on the chair.
"He went to the border not only to comply with the wishes of me and Xiao Taotao, but also to find a way out."
"Everywhere in this world is dark. The little boss wants to gain momentum. This round of two thousand miles of border crossing is the first step."
