Chapter 290

Zhao Changyuan stood side by side with two good friends. Not far behind was the magnificent pagoda. Gong Yue faced them and stepped back.

"Come on!" She suddenly raised her fist and shouted at them. Finally... "Goodbye!" Then he turned and ran in the direction of Lu Ranqing. The back is so thin and pathetic in the huge sand sea

"How can I feel sour in my heart..." evil little whispered.

"Hey? Why am I a little uncomfortable here? " He Yong covered his heart and answered.

Zhao Changyuan suddenly turned around, gritted his teeth and said, "don't think about it. Let's go." No one will be so sad as him. But the responsibility on his shoulders cannot be indulged by him. He must brace himself for the coming cruel situation. This was the last time. He no longer wanted to see his wife's parting back and his wife's tears.

Cao Rui and Zhao Xiong didn't know the language with them, so they had to rely on Lin Fan as an interpreter. But Lin fan has only one mouth. Where can he take care of so much trouble. Finally, Cao Rui was forced to throw an iron whip and start a fire. Zhao Xiong ordered the army to surround the village, which brought the situation under control.

It was not until everyone was ready to leave the village that Cao Rui and Lin Fan silently praised Zhao Changyuan. Zhao Changyuan is worthy of being a military genius in the world. Even in the most neglected and slack aspects of other generals, he arranged properly. If Lu Ranqing and Gong Yueyue come, how can we deal with these people as quickly as possible?

Three days later, the wounded regiment met Cao Rui and Zhao Xiong near the inn of Xiangling duoling's house.

At this time, Gong Yueyue is painstakingly persuading the inn owner to withdraw to the pass with them. But whatever she said, the stubborn middle-aged man was not moved at all. Finally, he only promised to give his wife and two daughters to her and let her take refuge in the Central Plains. And he himself was determined to live or die with the inn“ Our family has been here for generations, and we have experienced countless wars. If our ancestors didn't escape, I can't escape! "

Gong Yueyue wants to persuade again, but suddenly Zhao Xiong comes in“ Dad! "

Zhao Xiong nodded and smiled at her and said faintly, "since the shopkeeper doesn't want to go, let him do it. Keeping this place may also make zhao'er stop and rest. The Liao army may not have the life to come here alive. "

After night, the two teams walked towards Yumen pass at different speeds. There are two little girls, Xiangling and duoling, in the team. Their mother will stay with her husband if she says anything. How can Gong Yueyue not understand such a mind? He didn't ask too much.

Even if Gong Yueyue remembers that Zhao Changyuan once said that he would soon chase them. But the reason in her mind did not allow her to slow down and wait deliberately. She also holds the safety of so many people in her hand. How can she only care about children and women? If they meet the Liao army, she and Lu Ranqing can get away with it. How can so many wounded survive? Whenever she thought of these, she warned herself that it was her greatest responsibility to put aside her worries and take good care of the talents in front of her.

It was another hard day's journey. Zhao Xiong and Cao Rui's team had left the wounded regiment far behind. It was not until the next evening that Gong Yueyue and Lu Ranqing appeared at the Yumen pass with the wounded soldiers. At the city tower under the setting sun, there are two tall and broad figures, one is Cao Rui waiting for his girlfriend. The other is Zhao Xiong waiting for his daughter-in-law.

"Finally... Here it is." When Gong Yueyue finished mechanically, he ran to Zhao Xiong and Cao Rui, took the kettle handed over by Zhao Xiong, and drank it regardless of the image.

Gong Yueyue immediately flushed his eyes, pulled ran Qing's sleeve and begged, "here we are. Outside the city tower is the Central Plains. What's to worry about? Aunt Qing, please let me stay. "

"There's no discussion. Leave the act of coquetry to your husband. It's useless to me."

Seeing the other party's attitude of being invulnerable to weapons and oil and salt, Gong Yueyue had to choose to move the rescue soldiers and asked for help from Zhao Xiong, who was still silent: "Dad agreed! He will stay and wait! "

Before Zhao Xiong made a sound, Lu Ranqing immediately went back unhappily: "if he wants to go, stay with him, but you must go with me."

Gong Yueyue didn't expect her to change her mind. She simply turned to Zhao Xiong and muttered with a crying voice: "Dad! I'll stay, too. Tell me about it. "

Zhao Xiong was indeed a man with ideas. He immediately gave a way to satisfy both sides: "otherwise, there is an inn outside the pass called Yuchi shop. You can stay there and wait after you leave the pass. It's safe and you can do whatever you want. "

Gong Yueyue thought for a moment, glanced at Lu Ranqing, who was as cold as ice, looked down at her sloppy skin bag and thought it was best to take care of her personal hygiene, so she pouted and muttered, "that's the only way. What about you, dad? "

Zhao Xiong smiled and said, "brother Lin and I are waiting here."

"Dad, you should be careful!"

"Well, you don't have to be too anxious. I'll find a way to inform you of any news."

"Thank you, Dad."

When Weng's daughter-in-law said goodbye, Lu Ranqing also walked away quietly.

"Dad can feel your current mood. After this battle, our family went back to Luoyang to raise their children and live the life you like. " Zhao Xiong's rare smile seemed to temporarily forget all the troubles in front of him. It seemed that the happy future he said was close at hand.

"Dad..." Gong Yueyue's eyes were red. She knew how difficult it was for such a meritorious and upright young general to make such a decision. This means that he will exchange the glory of generations for the peace of his children and grandchildren. It's a father's love to hope for a son to become a dragon, but it's another kind of father's love to give his children an ordinary and happy life?

Zhao Xiong, with his hands on his back, looked at the dust flying in the distance under the dusk. He was tall and straight, with a comfortable face: "the West Lake, Yangzhou, wupeng boat... All the things Zhao Er promised you are still owed by his father to his mother. It's time to give them back to her."

Gong Yueyue suddenly felt that Zhao Xiong seemed to have completely changed at this moment. Or maybe he is who he is now. She suddenly realized that Zhao Changyuan and Zhao Xiong, the father and son, were just similar in appearance. Now it seems that their heart is also the same water.

She looked at the lonely wooden window through the flickering candle. Her body was extremely relaxed, but her heart was filled with melancholy and sadness. It is said that this room was the one Zhao Changyuan rented the night before he first entered the desert.

She guessed his behavior here by virtue of the short experience she had lived with him. The sweet and sour pork ribs downstairs are so delicious. With his urine, he will probably eat five or six plates, pack one plate and take it into the room for a snack

He likes to take a bath. He will curl up in the tub and stare at the wooden window like she does now

There were some books on the corner. He must have been bored. He went over and looked at a few pages, and then put them back intact. Because the content in the book is folk strange talk, he is not interested in these

Before going to bed, he would destroy the plate of packed ribs, then rinse his mouth, fall on the bed and rest his hands... Falling into endless thoughts. Just like her at this moment.

Although the bed under her body is not a high bed and soft pillow, it is clean and comfortable. Coupled with her hard work these days, it should have been easy to fall asleep. But she didn't do so... The fatigue of her body always defeated the fierce operation of her mind, which forced her to stay in the night and couldn't sleep for a long time.

There is no need to say more about Zhao Changyuan's worries and fears. Turning over again and again made her more manic. Finally, she simply bounced and sat up. Looking back on the past, Jiang Haoran suddenly called the police at night. She panicked until dawn with dark circles under her eyes, even more nervous than her own. Now fate has beaten her back for more than a thousand years, but she still can't escape the fate of "Wangfu stone".

Thinking of this, she complained to the air with a sad face: "what evil have I done? Never marry the military and police in your next life! I don't have that psychological quality! "

On the first night back to the Central Plains, Gong Yueyue spent the night in a state of extreme anxiety and fatigue.

The next night, due to the serious overdraft of mental and physical strength, I slept in the dark.

On the third night, she thought of Du ruotong, He Yong's wife Xiuer, Zhao Changyuan's mother, and imagined that these women, like her, were scattered in a corner of the Central Plains, hurting and missing each other

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Lu Ranqing and Cao Rui took most of the Ming wounded and refugees to Cangzhou, where they planned to make short-term resettlement. Gong Yueyue was the same as during the day a few days ago. Sometimes he sat under the Yuchi Inn Inn building and looked at the people in and out of the gate. Sometimes he ran to the city tower and looked forward to it.

She didn't know how long such silence would last until the noon sun climbed over her head and came out of a familiar figure from the gate of the city tower

"These are traitors to our Ming religion." Lin Fan's expressionless answer changed the friendly look of his playful face in the past. Then he pointed to one of the pretty girls and ordered the group of scattered soldiers: "take it upstairs and lock it up and take strict care of it, especially this girl."

The soldiers nodded in response. The girl was tied with her hands and her expression was numb. Her big eyes, which should have been carefree, were full of despair at the moment.

Gong Yueyue suddenly realized that these were probably the people of the guru. No wonder Lin fan is in a bad mood. I heard Zhao Changyuan say before that the Ming religion has been prosperous and prosperous for so many years. Since the leader surnamed Gu forcibly took the right to hold the church, he not only pushed out the elders who were originally loyal to the old leader surnamed Lu and let them live in the Central Plains, but also threatened the future of the Ming religion and forced Lu Ranqing to marry himself. Forget all this. What is more intolerable to the elders in the religion is his evil behavior of betraying the laws and regulations in the religion and colluding with the Liao army in exchange for a lot of money. You should know that most of the Ming religions are actually Tubo people. The practice of guru Gu is tantamount to dragging the whole Ming religion to betray the country. So Lu Ranqing said he would get rid of him.
