Several people traveled all day by carriage and rested in a pavilion that night. They planned to find a town tomorrow and change horses to ride in order to return to Lujiang County as soon as possible.
When they were warming themselves by the fire and eating in the same room, the atmosphere was very awkward and few people said anything. Only Qin Liang said a few words, saying that he hoped it wouldn't rain on the road after changing horses.
There was a wooden board between the carriage compartment and the driver's seat in front of it, and a bamboo curtain hung inside. Mrs. Lu couldn't see what was going on in the carriage, and she was probably too embarrassed to look back. But judging from her expression now, she probably heard
When they heard the noise in the carriage, Xuanji gagged, but she still cried out from her nose. The sound was not loud, but the place where the driver was driving was close to the carriage, so it was easy to hear.
Qin Liang was still too anxious. He should have waited until he returned to Lu'an County, where he had plenty of time. Moreover, he did not expect that Wu Xin was in perfect condition, so he was in a hurry on the carriage. He was in a dark state in the carriage, and now his mind
It's all a bit confusing.
In fact, as long as someone knows about Qin Liang's return to Luoyang in the past few days, it will be easily connected with Xuanji's leaving home to practice. Fortunately, Mrs. Lu hardly knows anyone in the Wei Kingdom, and she doesn't know who Xuanji is.
No one could even see Xuan Ji's face clearly. Mrs. Lu must not be able to figure out the relationship between Qin Liang and the other three.
After resting for a night, the four of them rode south along the Yingshui River the next day. Their recent luck was really good. They passed through the entire Yuzhou without any rain. When they entered Yangzhou and crossed the border of Yangquan County, they met Xixi
The dripping autumn rain was barely covered by the bamboo hat and coir raincoat.
It was already afternoon when they entered Lu'an City. Wu Xin went back to the county mansion first, drove a carriage out, and took the two girls who were unable to show up back to the county mansion. Mrs. Lu was temporarily placed outside in a courtyard to the west of the county mansion.
Qin Liang went to the front hall of the mansion to show up, and met the ministers of the Yangzhou Dudu Mansion, as well as some subordinate officers and generals. Soon he returned to the inner house, and the three of them stayed in a bedroom.
Until the next morning.
Suddenly, Qin Liang felt the bed shaking. He opened his eyes and saw a white figure in a daze. When he woke up a little, he realized that it was Xuan Ji who had suddenly gotten up. She was lying on all fours.
On the couch, lying on his back was Wang Lingjun, who had just opened his eyes and looked confused. Xuanji was turning her head to look at the bright white window outside in panic.
The posture of the two of them suddenly felt very familiar to Qin Liang, and he remembered the scene last night. He licked his mouth, wiped it with the back of his hand, and said: "This is Lujiang County, I don't need to go anywhere, just sleep a little longer."
Xuan Ji had messy black hair and a sleepy look. Only then did she come back to her senses, put her hand on her heart, breathed a long sigh of relief, a little smile appeared in her charming eyes, and sighed: "Yes! I suddenly
When I woke up and saw the bright light in the window, I was shocked and forgot that I had already arrived in Yangzhou."
When she said this, she lowered her eyes and covered them with her hands, then slipped back into bed and squeezed between Qin Liang and Wang Lingjun.
Seeing that she was still in shock, Qin Liang hugged her soft body, gently patted her beautiful shoulders, and said kindly: "No one dares to come into the inner house of Lujiang County Mansion, so I don't have to worry about anything."
Wang Lingjun turned over, hugged Xuan Ji, and said feebly: "I'm really confused."
"It's time for me to get up, there are still a lot of things to do." Qin Liang took a deep breath, as if to cheer himself up, and then said, "If you do things well, we can spend more time together in the future." long."
He finally sat up from the soft quilt.
Xuanji frowned and whispered: "I will help you change your clothes."
Wang Lingjun muttered: "I really can't get up, I don't have any strength at all."
Qin Liang said softly: "It's not necessary. I dress and wash myself. It saves time."
By September, it was late autumn, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and the rainy weather was getting colder and humid. Qin Liang had been busy for a while, and when he walked out of the bedroom, his hands and feet still felt very stiff.
When Qin Liang came to the front hall of the palace, he got familiar with the new faces of the county and perfected the plan to govern Lujiang County.
In the past, under Sun Li, he only trained troops, but now Qin Liang's work will be more complicated. However, Qin Liang is doing it for himself now, so he is more willing to work hard. A county is the largest territory he can get, and Lujiang County is the best. Whether the county succeeds or not depends on this time.
Spy work must also be arranged immediately, mainly against Wu State, and secondly internally. Qin Liang, a county guard, of course cannot cross the river to attack Wu State; but he can predict Wu State's movements and avoid another Battle of Shaopi. The dilemma of insufficient preparation.
What's more, if you can hook up with important figures in the Wu State in advance, if the situation is really unfavorable in the future, running away to the Wu State is the best choice. At that time, as long as you leave your own territory, you only need to cross a no-man's land, and you will be there in no time Entering the territory of Wu State.
But the country of Shu treats the surrendered generals well. Ma Chao, who tricked his whole family to death, lived a happy life in Shu. This may have something to do with the way Liu Bei, the founder of Shu, treats people.
So Qin Liang worked in the front hall all morning, then took a carriage out of the mansion and went to the small courtyard to the west to meet Mrs. Lu. Wu Xin was responsible for providing Mrs. Lu with daily food and clothing, and Wu Xin was also driving the carriage today.
Mrs. Lu opened the courtyard door. When Qin Liang came down from the tailgate of the carriage, she was waiting beside him. While bowing her hands in a salute, she looked at him with a complicated look, and her face suddenly turned red.
Qin Liang bowed and bowed in return, and said casually: "If Fairy Lady is short of anything, just tell Wu Xin."
"Thank you, General, for taking care of me," Mrs. Lu said.
Qin Liang stood there and waited for a while before Mrs. Lu invited: "General, please."
So the two of them walked along the road on the eaves, walked into the upper room, and sat down beside the banquet. The wooden door was open, and the air in the patio was filled with autumn rain. The raindrops were flying, falling slowly and sparsely, on the tile eaves. The falling water drops made a "ding-dong" sound.
Mrs. Lu looked sideways at the rain outside and said nothing for a while.
Qin Liang was also worried. This female Taoist seemed to care most about her husband's safety, and the mission of the Kingdom of Shu probably came second.
He sat on his knees for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and began to actively guide the topic. He asked: "What kind of person is General Fei? Have you ever seen her?"
Mrs. Lu turned around, nodded and said, "I met him with my husband. The general is very simple, kneeling on a straw mat, with a smile on his face, speaking kindly, clearly speaking, and looking unhurried."
Qin Liang pondered for a moment and asked: "What kind of smile?"
Mrs. Lu thought for a while and then said: "When you smile, your eyes are very sincere."
When she said this, Qin Liang immediately became interested in Fei Yi. The eyes of a man who can be a great general have sincere eyes. Fei Yi should be a much better person than Sima Yi.
Qin Liang put his hand on his chin, thought about it for a while, and then nodded lightly.
