Chapter 127 Farewell
"You three are all my ancestors. I can't afford to offend any of you!"

"I, Xiao Jingchuan, apologize to the three of you!"

"Is it possible?!"

Xiao Jingchuan roared with despair!

The style of painting changes!

Xiao Jingchuan, who was so arrogant and heroic just now, was now being held hostage by these three people. His image was broken and his true colors were revealed. He had no choice but to smile and make jokes and try his best to reconcile the situation.

Liu Qiaoer, who was standing by the gate of the house, took a glimpse of the scene secretly and saw everything that was going on.

He had just walked out of the shock he had just experienced, and seeing Xiao Lang like this, his face had a complicated expression, as if he was trying hard to suppress a smile, secretly happy but trying not to show it.

Sometimes she would glance in Xiao Lang's direction, but most of the time she just pretended not to hear anything, struggling and tangled in her heart. Although her heart and eyes were full of desire, she wanted to throw herself on Xiao Lang, but due to the reality gap and etiquette, her feet could not move even a little bit!
"Qiao'er!"

"Qiao'er?"

Suddenly, while Liu Qiao'er was in a trance, the master of the house with a white beard and dressed in fine clothes approached the door and spoke slowly and softly.

Hearing the voice, Qiao'er was startled and quickly and nervously collected her thoughts.

"Master, Master!" Qiao'er bowed and replied.

"Hey, Liu Qiaoer!"

"My Lu family has encountered this great disaster. My son Runchang has... and he..."

The old man with gray hair and beard lost his beloved son. When he spoke of this, he choked up with sobs and could hardly continue.

"My son Runchang has passed away."

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!"

"I am an old man over sixty years old, and I only have this one son left, and I still can't save him!"

"I feel ashamed of my ancestors. I feel ashamed!"

"Now the old man is sending the young man away, I..."

"Master, please take care of yourself. Please accept my condolences, Master."

Liu Qiao'er was born in a mountain family and was not good at speaking. She barely got a word in to say a few words, wanting to comfort him, but she couldn't think of any words to say.

Seeing his embarrassment, the master of the house waved his hand to stop him and continued the conversation.

"Qiao'er! Although my family never criticized servants in the past, we didn't care much about you!"

"Today, you are so selfless and risked your life to save my grandson and preserve the last line of succession for my Lu family!"

"Liu Qiaoer!"

"I, Lu Maoyan, don't know how to express my gratitude to you for your kindness!"

"Qiao'er, please accept my greetings and mine!"

"You are the benefactor of my Lu family!"

As they were talking, the old woman who had just woken up from fainting and the master who claimed to be Lu Maoyan's family made gestures to kneel!

Seeing this, Liu Qiaoer could not bear it anymore, so she was so shocked that she quickly leaned over to help the two elders up.

"Madam, Master!"

"You two elders are shortening my life!"

"I, Liu Qiaoer, can't bear this!"

"I am the young master's wet nurse. This kid drinks my milk for a day, so in my heart, he is the same as my son!"

"What mother would have the heart to watch her own child suffer?"

"Even if something unexpected happens to me, young master, there must be no mistakes!"

Liu Qiaoer was simple and sincere, which made the old couple of the host family very grateful.

When the old woman heard this, she rushed forward and threw herself into Liu Qiaoer's arms. She was moved, relieved, and extremely sad about losing her beloved son. All her emotions were intertwined together, so complicated and sad that she couldn't stop crying.

Not far away, Xiao Lang and the other generals, hearing the noise from this side, gradually restrained their behavior. Infected by the grief of life and death separation here, they were speechless for a long time.
"Report——"

"Report!"

Just as everyone at Lu's house was experiencing ups and downs in emotions.

Suddenly, I heard someone rushing over reporting from a distance!

"Report! Where is the general?!"

"Where's the General?!"

Hearing the voice, Xiao Jingchuan immediately recognized that it was Gu Changting!

You must know that after he led the generals and troops into the city, Gu Changting left Xiao Lang.

If for no other reason, it was to ask Chang Ting to lead several teams of scouts and sentries to guard more than ten miles away on both sides of Laishui County!

At this moment, Chang Ting rushed back in such a hurry, probably because there were pursuers outside the county town!
At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan suddenly frowned and stared at the direction of the person coming. "Changting! I'm here!"

"Report!"

"General, enemy troops have been spotted chasing from the direction of Yi County south of Laishui City!"

"More than 1,500 people, less than ten miles away from here!"

Chang Ting rode his horse into the crowd, and after approaching Xiao Lang, he dismounted and reported.

"Well, what a fast speed!"

"Pei Zhong!" Xiao Jingchuan said.

"I am here!" Sun Peizhong replied loudly.

"How is the collection of weapons and supplies going?"

"General, Gong Yonggu is still cleaning. I think it's almost done!"

"Well, let's just collect as much as we can! We don't have time!"

"Qiu Zhizhong! Quickly notify Liu Wenbing's troops, bring money and food, and rush to the north gate of the city to assemble and wait!"

"Yes!" Zhizhong replied, and then he rode his horse quickly and headed south towards the military camp.

"Sun Peizhong, tell Gong Yonggu that the two of you who are equipped with firearms should also set off immediately and ride to the north gate to gather!"

"I obey your command!" Peizhong led his soldiers and rushed back to the main street.

"Li Huchen!" Xiao Jingchuan turned around and spoke again.

"exist!"

"Hurry up and gather your troops nearby, and follow me toward the north gate!"

"Yes!" Hu Chen accepted the order.

"Gu Changting, all the scouts outside the city will gradually follow the main force from both wings. You and I will gather at the agreed meeting point tonight!"

"Do you understand?!" Xiao Lang took into consideration the members of the Lu family nearby and intentionally did not reveal the information about Shi Guishan.

Gu Changting listened to what was said, looked at the situation around him, and understood.

After receiving the order, he rode away again and ran towards the south gate of the city alone.

About ten steps away, in front of the gate of the Lu family’s tall mansion.

Liu Qiaoer was still looking at Xiao Lang.

I saw the young general on the horse, commanding with confidence.

That look and concentration made Qiao'er feel anxious as the situation became tense.

After giving the order, the front of the house, which was originally crowded with people and noisy and chaotic, suddenly became deserted.

After Xiao Jingchuan had deployed all his subordinates, he also rode his horse and prepared to leave.

Liu Qiaoer, ah Liu Qiaoer, Qiaoer felt conflicted.

Seeing Xiao Jingchuan about to leave, he tried to catch up with him, but he couldn't say a word!
He just stared at her hesitantly, as if he couldn't even utter a word of thanks.

The horse's hooves are moving forward, and it is about to go far.
Suddenly!

Xiao Lang turned his horse around and rode back again.

"Haha, Liu Qiaoer, you really don't even want to say thank you!"

"Here, this is for you!"

Xiao Jingchuan smiled, pulled out a purse from his waist and threw it into Liu Qiaoer's arms!
"I picked this up from the enemy general when I was cleaning the battlefield."

"There's only about ten taels of silver in it!"

"Here you go!"

"I'm leaving again! Take good care of yourself!"

Having said this, Xiao Lang did not delay any longer.

"drive!"

The yellow horse neighed, and Xiao Jingchuan disappeared into the streets at night!

Liu Qiaoer stroked her purse repeatedly with both hands.

Inadvertently, he took out the Jinyiwei waist badge given to him by Xiao Lang from his inner garments!
Stroking it, looking in the direction where the horse left!

Staring in a daze!
Stay in the same place for a long time.
