When we came out of the woodshed, it was already the second watch. Although everyone could not hide their sleepiness on their faces, they were in a good mood.
Lu Heng first went back to the room and took a look at Liu Qingqing, and saw that her breathing had become even. A trace of pink appeared on her pale face. All these were signs of recovery of vitality.
Seeing all this, Lu Heng finally felt relieved.
Phew, just now, he was really frightened. Now, seeing the woman's body gradually recovering, Lu Heng became frightened.
Just now, when the woman stood in front of him and blocked the fatal arrow for him, Lu Heng's heart was completely blank. At that time, Lu Heng felt vaguely that he was about to lose her.
Now that the crisis has been suspended, the calm smile of the past appeared on Lu Heng's always livid face.
Raising his hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of his eyes, Lu Heng laughed and scolded himself for being more active and regressing. He has been a man for two lifetimes, but his heart is still so fragile.
He gave the woman who was staying with him some money and watched as the woman who was staying with him nodded respectfully and promised to take good care of Liu Qingqing. Lu Heng then thanked her profusely and left the room.
Outside the door, Guard Zhan and others were all in armor, holding steel swords and spears in their hands, standing in a neat formation at the door. Looking at the expressions of these sergeants, they looked like they were going into battle.
However, it is actually about going into battle.
Lu Heng will never allow a person who threatens the lives of himself and his family at any time to live in this world.
In the past, some people said that the best way to kill a person is not physically, but mentally. But Lu Heng felt that this statement was pure nonsense.
If only one person completely disappears from this world, no matter how much the people behind him make a fuss, it will be of no use. As time goes by, he will still forget about this chess piece and look for a new spokesperson.
And during this time of searching for new chess pieces, Lu Heng was absolutely sure that he would be caught off guard and that he would be defeated like a mountain, thousands of miles away.
Moreover, based on Guard Zhan's understanding of Lu Heng, he also knew that Mr. Lu would definitely return after visiting Miss Qingqing to deal with Liu Yuanyi who was hiding in the Purple Mountain.
Although it was said that Lu Heng was just a scholar and had no power to mobilize the army. But Zhan Weiwei did not think so, because this seemingly plain and weak scholar had a jade plaque given to him by the prince to mobilize the Jiangning garrison.
With this jade pendant, Mr. Lu can fully mobilize Jiangning's three thousand garrison.
Seeing Lu Heng come out of the room with a smile on his face, Guard Zhan felt relieved. After all, the scholar's expression just now was really scary.
He had only seen that murderous look on the prince more than ten years ago, when the descendants of Duke Di were exterminated by His Majesty. Now, this helpless scholar can have such murderous intent.
, which made him really unbelievable.
However, now the scholar finally smiled.
Guard Zhan also relaxed. He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Master, whatever you plan to do, we will listen to you!"
Lu Heng nodded and was about to take Guard Zhan and several other lieutenants into the hall to hold an impromptu pre-war meeting. Wu Ningyuan's super loud roar suddenly came from outside the yard.
"Damn it, whoever dares to touch my daughter, I will pluck out his skin!" The courtyard door opened, and Wu Ningyuan, carrying a sword at his waist and wearing combat boots, appeared at the door with a murderous look.
Behind Wu Ningyuan, the sergeant stepped forward, fully armed, and the torch in his hand was swaying, lighting up the entire alley.
Daughter? Lu Heng gave him a strange look, wondering whether he should laugh or cry. Could this old man be sleepwalking? Where is your daughter here?
Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Ningyuan had already walked into the yard, and he glared at Guard Zhan angrily. Seeing Guard Zhan hurriedly lowered his head, feeling guilty. Wu Ningyuan also shook his head helplessly, and turned to face
Lu Heng said: "Is my daughter okay?"
Well……
Lu Heng looked at this serious old man dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Old man, where is your daughter here! Are you talking in your sleep?"
Wu Ningyuan flicked his eyes, raised his gray eyebrows, and yelled at Lu Heng fiercely: "Fart, how can I talk in my sleep? Your sister-in-law, Liu Qingqing, is my goddaughter!"
Uh..., is there such a thing? Why didn't I know?
Seeing that the old man's expression did not seem to be fake, Lu Heng was suspicious and turned to look at Guard Zhan on the side.
Guard Zhan smiled, clasped his fists and said, "Young Master is unaware of something. A few days ago, after Young Master was kidnapped by an assassin, the Prince asked Miss Qingqing to recognize him as his adopted father on his way back to Jiangning. Haha, after all,
The prince is still your wife..., oh no, he is your elder!"
After hearing this explanation, Lu Heng suddenly felt dumbfounded. He turned his head, looked at Wu Ningyuan with a proud look on his face, and cursed in his heart, this old fox is taking advantage of me.
As for the rest, Lu Heng didn't want to think about it. After all, the done deal was done. There was no point in talking about it. Moreover, although Wu Ningyuan's move had some other intentions, it seemed that it was still a good thing for him at the moment.
The weak and weak Lu family in Jiangning brought a safe umbrella.
Seeing this old man blinking at Lu Heng happily like a child. Lu Heng couldn't feel any resentment in his heart and could only nod with a wry smile.
"So, my sister-in-law Qingqing is Princess now?" Lu Heng groped his chin, but in his mind he thought of the Princesses in Qing palace dramas he had watched in his previous life.
"What about brother and sister? Now Qingqing is the legitimate princess! She is much better than you!" Wu Ningyuan looked at him strangely after hearing Lu Heng's nonsense and mocked angrily.
Well……
Lu Heng's head was suddenly filled with black lines, and he smiled sheepishly. He was so dizzy that he almost thought this was the Qing Dynasty.
"By the way, how is my daughter doing now?" Wu Ningyuan asked anxiously, pointing to the room.
Lu Heng smiled and said: "The doctor took a look at it and took some medicine, and now he has fallen asleep!"
"That's good, that's good. I almost scared me to death just now! It's so damn dangerous!" Wu Ningyuan sat down on the steps, raised his sleeves and wiped away the cold sweat, saying with lingering fear.
"By the way, have you found out who did it?" Wu Ningyuan raised his head, with murderous intent flashing in his clear eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
Lu Heng nodded and said, "It's Liu Yuanyi, oh, Qingqing's biological father!"
After hearing this, Wu Ningyuan angrily raised his hand and slapped the pillar hard, his eyes full of resentment: "Damn, this scumbag!"
"What are you going to do?" Wu Ningyuan took a deep breath, turned to look at Lu Heng, who also had an unkind expression, and asked.
Lu Heng glanced at him, lowered his head and smiled. He raised his hand, glanced at the dark night sky, and said lightly: "Force it!"
The hall next door to the west wing was brightly lit. Lu Heng, Wu Ningyuan, Zhan Weiwei, Wang Wu and others gathered around a table. On the table, there was a map of Jiangning.
Zhan Weiwei was standing in front, drawing on the map with his fingers, turning back from time to time, telling Lu Heng and Wu Ningyuan about the terrain of Jiangning's Zijin Mountain Area.
After the explanation, the guard Zhan retreated to the back and listened to the two men's speech.
"What do you think?" Although the scholar in front of him has never heard of the experience of leading an army, Wu Ningyuan still feels that this boy is definitely good at leading troops in war. He has been in the army for decades and has naturally developed a
With his fiery eyes, he believed that he would never see the wrong person.
If Zhang Wenshan, when faced with a major event, would do everything with dignity and ease. But Yongzheng, in his demeanor, speech, and deeds, reveals a everyone's style. In handling affairs, he also takes things lightly.
Watching Lu Heng listen to Zhan Weiwei's introduction to the terrain of Purple Mountain without missing a word, and occasionally asking some extremely critical questions, the prince became even more determined.
Only the top strategists in the army can have such a vicious eye for maps.
Hearing Wu Ningyuan ask himself, Lu Heng stopped being pretentious, stretched out his hand and clicked on a mountain col on the map and said: "According to the assassin's confession, the number of people around Liu Yuanyi is no less than a thousand, and most of these people are
He is a man of martial arts. Moreover, he is stationed on the mountainside. You see, the direction of this ridge is connected to Lijiazhuang in the northwest of Jiangning on one side, and on the other side is connected to the Yangtze River. In this way, we can attack
If you retreat, you can defend."
Wu Ningyuan stroked his beard and nodded with deep understanding. The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. He seemed to have discovered a treasure. He looked at Lu Heng with interest and pointed out the country on the map. He felt more and more excited in his heart.
Come more and more joy.
"If we use a frontal attack, we will suffer a lot of losses. If we use a divided force to encircle, we are afraid that the opponent will hit us with strength. If we attack a little, our encirclement will be broken without warning." Lu Heng pointed his finger.
After spending a while on this long ridge, he said lightly.
The topic shifted to specific tactics, and Wu Ningyuan no longer speculated, but began to actively participate in it. He lay on the map, listening to Lu Heng's analysis, and thinking about Lu Heng's words.
"You are right. If we attack from the front, the opponent will have a geographical advantage, and we will suffer a loss. However, if we do not adopt a strong frontal attack and use encirclement tactics instead, we are still afraid of letting him escape! Could it be that Yongzheng wants to knock the mountain to shake the tiger?
Let him come out of the Purple Mountain on his own?"
Lu Heng smiled and nodded, stretched out his thumb and praised Wu Ningyuan: "As expected of the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I hit the nail on the head!"
Wu Ningyuan did not appreciate it. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me your next plan. I know you haven't finished speaking yet!"
Seeing Lu Heng turn his attention to the map again, his brows furrowed, thinking about the direction in which the other party might break out. After Wu Ning looked at the map for a while, he asked: "Do you think they will flee towards Lijiazhuang?"
?”
After Lu Heng thought for a while, he shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. I heard that the ancestors of Li Family Village were once Di Renjie's personal guards. Moreover, the Li family has always had a close relationship with the Di family. Decades ago, Di Renjie
After the case of the public heir, the Li family also resigned and returned home in anger. Over the years, Lijiazhuang has continued to grow and develop, becoming the leader of the green forest in Jiangsu. The court may have felt guilty at the time, or it may have been due to other circumstances.
After thinking about it, I have been turning a blind eye to the development of Lijiazhuang. As for the Li family, because of the case of Di Gong's descendants, many officials have added insult to injury. They are still extremely hostile to non-Lijiazhuang people. I heard that everyone
Unidentified people who approach Lijiazhuang will be shot! Right?"
Guard Zhan glanced at Lu Heng in surprise. He was extremely shocked. Where did this young master get this information from? He actually knew more details than he did. It was really strange.
Seeing Lu Heng turn his head to look at himself, Guard Zhan nodded and clasped his fists, saying: "What the young master said is absolutely true, I admire you!"
"That's it!" After receiving the verification, Lu Heng smiled and nodded: "Since this is a dead end, the only thing left is the Yangtze River waterway!"
Lu Heng pointed to the other end of the ridge, his eyes were indifferent, and he gently tapped a small dock marked on the map with his finger: "This is it!"
"What is this?" Wu Ningyuan and Zhan Wewei asked in unison.
"Salt Gang!" Lu Heng smiled coldly, smashed his fist on the map, and the table buzzed.
