Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Chapter 374 Don't Cry

The Jin soldiers retreated on the third day.

The body of the Leopard Goddess was found and her identity was completely revealed.

Lu You was from Heyuan Village, Jianhe County, Qingzhou Prefecture.

His younger brother Lu Ming once joined the Qingzhou army, but did not desert after the defeat in Pingchang County.

Instead, he followed the Jin soldiers to the city of Qingzhou, sneaked into the Jin soldiers' camp, and worked together with the warriors of Cangyun Sect to burn the Jin soldiers' food and grass.

But he also died under the swords of the Jin soldiers, which was really sad!

Two loyal heroes in one family, loyal and brave to protect Qingcheng.

After Wu Quanwen and Wen Chengjie's deliberate exaggeration, more than 100,000 people in Qingzhou City were impressed by the righteous act of the Lu siblings.

Of course, all of Lu Ming’s heroic deeds were compiled and polished by Wen Chengjie based on reverse engineering.

He had never met Lu Ming, and was not sure whether the person mentioned in his memorial requesting merit was Lu You's younger brother.

He just asked the officers among the prisoners of war to reconstruct the normal battle process. He heard them say that on the night when the Jin soldiers' food was burned, there was a man who called himself Lu Ming who made a big fuss in the Jin soldiers' camp and attracted everyone's attention to the warrior who burned the food.

Lu Ming’s true identity may only be revealed after the defeated Qingzhou army reappears, perhaps someone will recognize Lu Ming and confirm his identity.

But none of this matters. What Wen Chengjie cares about is what kind of stories the people want to hear.

As for Lu You, her various peculiarities could no longer be hidden.

Therefore, in the memorial written by Wen Chengjie, it was written in detail that Lu You was a warrior who was good at disguise.

As for the claim that he could conjure up countless black panthers by waving his hands, that was just a rumor among the people that he had been demonized. In reality, there was only one.

There is no need to worry about other princes or people with ulterior motives coming to Qingzhou City to investigate this kind of thing.

Because the Lu You in the people's mouths has begun to have three heads and six arms, and even has the ability to step on black clouds and fly into the sky and hide in the ground.

This was not enough. Wen Chengjie even sent his men to summon all the storytellers in Qingzhou City and asked them to turn Lu You's deeds into stories to praise them.

He also said that whoever speaks well or speaks brilliantly will be rewarded handsomely!

It is almost certain that these storytellers have the ability to create new things.

In a few days, he was born with supernatural powers, had three eyes on his forehead, could spit fire and water, and could turn stones into gold...

All of these will become Lu You's means.

At that time, when those who want to collect information about Lu You come to Qingzhou City, their expressions will definitely be very interesting.

In a word, the more outrageous the legend is, the more credible the memorial Wen Chengjie submitted about Lu You is.

Lu You is petite, so it's not easy to find a girl of similar stature to her.

Fortunately, there are people among the current Hidden Dragon Guards who are proficient in disguise, so this is not difficult.

So, the night before, a girl from a brothel was redeemed, and the embroiderer of the Wen Mansion made a set of clothes for Lu You overnight.

The girl changed her clothes, cut her hair short, and disguised herself as Lu You.

After doing all this, she ate the most delicious meal of her life, happily drank a glass of fatal wine, and died peacefully.

The body was dragged by the Hidden Dragon Guards to a remote river channel on the battlefield west of the city and was slashed seven times.

On the morning of the third day, they were discovered by Jin soldiers who were clearing the battlefield.

This incident caused a sensation among the people of Qingzhou Prefecture.

Wen Chengjie brought the body back to the city for the people to see, and then cremated it on a high platform.

At this point, the leopard goddess Lu You completely became the patron saint in the hearts of the people of Qingzhou City, and was worshipped by thousands of families.

"Your Highness, there shouldn't be any mistakes."

At this time, Wen Chengjie had completely straightened out his identity and became Wu Quanwen's adviser.

Wu Quanwen had already changed into new robes at this time.

"I just received news that the Yunzhou Army will arrive in half a day. Now that you are taking over the post of Qingzhou prefect, you should be more careful in your work."

Hearing Wu Quanwen's reminder, Wen Chengjie nodded in agreement.

After this battle, Wen Chengjie's reputation and military achievements were enough, and it was only a matter of time before he was transferred to Wudu to follow Wu Quanwen.

But at the same time, he would come into the sight of the powerful people in Wudu, and there was no guarantee that someone would secretly trip him up.

What he should do most now is to avoid making mistakes rather than seeking credit.

"I'm confident in your ability to handle the matter. I'll leave Li Chuang with you. You can contact me directly through him."

Following Wu Quanwen's words, Li Chuang stepped forward and clasped his fists towards Wen Chengjie, who nodded in return.

Wu Quanwen explained some things again, and then rode away with Zhou Ya.

………………

At the same time, smoke was rising from a valley.

In the fire, the branches were crackling, and a skinned rabbit next to it had been roasted to a golden brown.

"It tastes good, have a bite while it's hot!"

Next to him, Zuo Yunfeng was holding a wooden stick with a pheasant missing a leg on it.

Not far away, Lu You was lying on the grass with his back to Zuo Yunfeng, staring blankly at a pearl earring in his hand.

That was the only thing in the embroidered bag that Xu Chu gave her.

Xu Chu asked her to help hand it over to Miss Guan Er in Nanning Prefecture, and if she wanted to take it away, she shouldn't wait for him.

Even a fool can understand that this earring is a token of love between two people.

But Xu Chu died just to save himself.

How should I convey this?

Lu You didn't know how to tell Miss Guan Er, and she wasn't thinking of any solution.

Or rather, she was just staring at the earring in a daze.

Since she killed Hui Lantu and was carried out of the battlefield by Zuo Yunfeng, she has never spoken again.

Whenever Zuo Yunfeng prepared something, she would eat it.

She sleeps when she is tired of walking.

It's like a mindless puppet.

It can still move, but it has lost its vitality.

"You never talk, and I'll look stupid if I keep talking to myself."

Zuo Yunfeng sat aside and muttered while chewing his muscles.

"Can you give me another pie? This chicken is not salty."

Lu You said nothing, but just turned his back to Zuo Yunfeng and casually threw a sesame cake to him.

Zuo Yunfeng didn't even look at it. He just grabbed the pancake in his hand and started biting it.

"If you ask me, your ability to easily turn into pancakes is really good."

"Eh? When we find a place with people, we can set up a small stall to sell sesame cakes. We have nothing to lose anyway, so we can make a profit from every cake we sell."

After hearing Zuo Yunfeng's words, Lu You's numb eyes finally flashed a hint of intelligence, but then were submerged by the mist.

She recalled the time when she sold sesame cakes with Lu Ming, Lu Yi and Widow Zhou in Qingshi Town.

That was the happiest period of time since she came to this strange world.

But now, there is no going back.

Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and Lu You curled up his body like a big shrimp.

On the side, Zuo Yunfeng heard Lu You's sobbing, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly tried to persuade her with concern.

"Luyo, stop crying."

"I can't find any springs around here, so you're crying and thirsty and there's nothing to drink."
