The general kneels on the washboard again

Jiang Hu caught up with Jiang Songrui. As the commander, Jiang Songrui still led his soldiers forward.

Jiang Hu was puzzled: "Master, don't you stop and look for the young master?"

Jiang Songrui glared at Jiang Hu with an expression of disappointment. "The battle ahead is urgent. We can't let Xiao'er's playful nature delay us for a moment. Hasn't Xiao'er always wanted to be a general? I can't stop him. It depends on whether he has the guts to come to me."

Jiang Hu was in awe of Jiang Songrui: "I understand, Master."

Jiang Hu was not very capable, so Jiang Songrui caringly asked him to go back: "Jiang Hu, you go back first."

But Jiang Hu also became stubborn: "No, Master, I have always followed you as my role model since I was a child. Let me follow you this time."

Jiang Songrui thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay."

Jiang Yunxiao, who was among the 100,000-strong army, was gnawing on a steamed bun as hard as a rock, with a dream as hard as a rock in his heart.

Yue Niang was slow in coming out and managed to get out before the city gates were locked in the evening of that day.

There was a figure on the city wall seeing them off. Lian Xing quickly pointed in that direction for Yue Niang to look at: "Master, look, it's Master Fan."

Yue Niang looked up and saw Fan Zhicheng's figure hidden in the night, and it was not very clear, but his hand was waving goodbye.

Dong Zhu leaned against Yue Niang and said, "Miss, many people will die in the war, right? Will we die?"

Lian Xing threw a punch and said, "Crow Mouth, with a secret guard like me who has unparalleled martial arts skills here, how could I let you die?"

Lian Xing is becoming more and more lively.

Dong Zhu covered his head and said, "Why do you always hit me on the head? You know I haven't been out of Lingzhou many times, and I've never seen such a dangerous situation. I'm just scared."

Yue Niang moved closer to her and said, "Alright, stop making trouble. We are just going to the city. I believe Duke Jiang will protect us."

Dong Zhu was also puzzled: "Miss, even if we run away secretly, why do you have to go?"

"You won't understand even if I tell you." Yue Niang looked at Dong Zhu.

Lian Xing came up again: "Master, then tell me, I promise I understand."

"Stop chattering, both of you." Yue Niang yelled, and the two of them shut up.

Why do you have to make this trip?

Putting some vague memory fragments together, after the battle of Xiezhou, the Jiang family was defeated, and Jiang Yunxiao became worse and worse. I don't know what went wrong.

But how can I tell these things to Dongzhu and the others?

Watching Dongzhu fall asleep in an instant, Yue Niang felt that it was good not to worry about anything all the time. Or maybe it was just that Dongzhu felt safe by Yue Niang's side.

As we went south, the closer we got to Xiezhou, the more refugees and bandits we saw.

The carriage was stopped several times by refugees begging for alms.

That day, the group finally reached the border of Xiezhou, but were stopped by a dozen bandits. The leader threatened them fiercely, "We are robbing you! Hand over all your valuables."

Those men didn't look like experienced robbers, and their hands holding the kitchen knives were shaking.

Lian Xing led two secret guards who suddenly appeared and stood in front.

Several people were also frightened by this sudden appearance and whispered to each other: "Brother, this person looks like a martial artist, why don't we just forget it."

The leader did not back down: "Don't forget that your wife and children at home have been fed for a few days. Didn't you become a bandit for your wife and children? We are many in number and we are not afraid of them."

Yue Niang watched as a group of people rushed up with ferocious looks, and the white mist above their heads, and hurriedly said to Lian Xing, "Don't kill them."

The battle situation also demonstrated that having more people is useless. In just a few moments, a group of people were knocked to the ground and tied up by Lian Xing and his men.

Now I finally know how to be afraid.

The strong man who had just persuaded the leader kept begging for mercy: "Hero, please spare my life. I have parents and children at home. Don't kill me, don't kill me."

"What kind of world is this?" The leader suddenly burst into tears.

Yue Niang then stepped forward and said, "Judging from your appearance, you must be villagers from nearby, right?"

Fearing that their families would be in trouble, several people flatly denied it: "No, no."

Yue Niang hurried on and looked at the others: "Why do you have to do this? Isn't it better to leave here?"

The strong man who spoke first opened up: "Alas, we all have elderly parents and young children to support. It's not easy to escape from famine."

Yue Niang said to Dong Zhu, "Bring some silver and share some with them."

"Not much, but this should be enough for you to escape the famine. But I have a word to say. I will send people to keep an eye on you. If you do this again, you will be handed over to the authorities on the spot."

Only then did Lian Xing untie the ropes that bound the group of people.

The group of people dispersed in a hurry.

Lian Xing asked Yue Niang, "Master, why did you let them go like this?"

Yue Niang was a little tired, and her tone was not friendly: "Lian Xing, you are talking more and more."

Lian Xing suddenly knelt on the ground: "Master, Lian Xing knows his mistake."

"Don't kneel down. I'm not blaming you. These bandits are forced to do what they want. Why do they need to shout and kill?"

Lian Xing lowered his head: "Master, Lian Xing really knows he was wrong."

"Forget it, let's get on with our journey." Yue Niang was really not feeling well today.

In the second half of the night, he finally developed a fever.

In a daze, Yue Niang felt that the resonance sound in her head was amplified twenty times, and the string of thinking and her nose were tightly stuck in cement.

Seeing Dong Zhu's figure getting bigger and smaller, the servants accompanying him made a lot of noise, and soon they started fighting with Lian Xing and others. Then Lian Xing and several secret guards took Yue Niang and Dong Zhu away.

At this point, it's completely blacked out.

When I woke up again, I was in a farmer's house.

The confusion in Yue Niang's head had improved a lot, and Dong Zhuyi stayed by the bed without taking off her clothes.

"Miss, you are finally awake."

Yue Niang rubbed her head and stood up: "What happened?"

Lian Xing also came in with medicine at this time: "Those servants wanted to kill the young lady, but now they have all been dealt with."

Yue Niang knew from the beginning that those people were not good people, but she never expected that she would get sick.

Yue Niang asked, "Are there any survivors?"

Lian Xing said: "I left one."

"Okay, where are we now?"

Lian Xing said, "This is already the territory of Xiezhou. This family must have fled from famine. Apart from the house, there is nothing else inside."

Yue Niang analyzed the current situation and said, "Let's send that person alive directly to Yunzhou."

"Master, you won't interrogate me?"

Yue Niang was still rubbing her head. "It's obvious that they are from Fu Shiqing and the Tian family. I won't investigate them anymore."

Lian Xing took the order and went out.

Dong Zhu's eyes were red as he stood by Yue Niang's side: "Miss, you were unconscious for five days. It scared me."

Yue Niang's heart was moved. "Silly girl, it's just a cold, it's nothing serious. I wanted to bring fewer people this time to give Fu Shiqing and his wife a chance. It seems that I didn't think it through. Okay, okay, don't cry."

Dong Zhu burst into tears: "Miss, Fu Shiqing and the others are too much. If it weren't for Madam and Miss, how could the Fu family exist today?"

Yue Niang caught Dong Zhu's words and asked hurriedly, "Dong Zhu, do you know about Madam's affairs?"

Dong Zhu nodded and then shook his head: "Dong Zhu doesn't know much, but Dong Zhu was bought by Madam, and when Madam was alive, she often went around asking for help for Master's business."

Yue Niang sighed and said, "It's just that I'm trapped by love."

Dong Zhu continued, "I gradually understood what Madam was seeking. It was nothing more than one person's heart."

Yue Niang stood up and leaned against the bed railing: "Unfortunately, Fu Shiqing doesn't have a heart like that in his heart. He only has rights and interests."

Dong Zhu held back her tears: "So Miss, you must get away from them as soon as possible."

"Don't worry. By the way, how has the Jiang family's team been doing these past two days?"

Dong Zhu scratched his head and said, "I don't know. Let Miss Lian Xingtong tell me."

"Forget it, let him finish his business with the assassin first. You should go back and get some sleep. Your eyes are red from staying up all night."

Dong Zhu shook his head like a rattle: "No, I want to stay by the young lady's side."

Yue Niang's head hurt again, and she rubbed it vigorously: "You need to go to sleep for a while so that you can guard better. Go."

Dong Zhu went out angrily.

Not long after, Lian Xing also came back, and Yue Niang asked Duke Jiang about the march.

Lian Xing answered truthfully, "The army is large and the marching is slow. We are worried about our master's illness, so we are galloping. I think the army will be about two days behind."

"Then the road to Xiezhou is probably open to traffic now?"

After receiving a positive answer, Yue Niang didn't plan to continue resting: "Okay, let's go into the city first. Dong Zhu can only catch up on his sleep in the city."

"Master, what about your body?" Lian Xing frowned.

"It's okay. Once the army arrives, I'm afraid this city won't be so easy to enter."

This cold came with great force, and Yue Niang's energy was almost exhausted. She couldn't help but eat more.

I don’t know if that soldier Jiang Yunxiao had a good meal.

What Yue Niang didn't know was that the answer was yes. The team Jiang Yunxiao was in didn't dare to reveal his identity, but he himself dared to reveal it, and conquered a group of brothers with his braised fish.
