I’m The King

Taking a few steps, Lu Chao stepped into the house. Although there was a pile of firewood burning in the chaotic house, it could not stop the cold at all. The temperature in the house was not much better than that in the house. At the corner, Mrs. Lu stood up and looked at Lu Chao in surprise, her hands spread and her lips trembled, but she didn't say a word.

Lu Chao Pang-chan knelt down on the ground with a scream, and knocked his head hard, "Mother, the child is not filial, so you are worried."

"Just come back, just come back!" Mrs. Lu murmured, stepping forward, staggering, almost falling to the ground, Lu Chao straightened his body and held his mother, mother and son crying and choking silently.

At this time, Mrs. Lu was the most difficult. Although she did not understand the laws of the Qin State, the news that Lu Bin brought from outside made her panic, because it was rumored that Lu Chao’s sin was enough to be Sentenced to beheaded.

She did not hesitate to dissipate all the assets brought from Liaoxi, one part was used to open up the joints, one was used to pay the bargaining silver, and hundreds of thousands of taels were thrown down, but she did not get a quasi-credit. Xianyang, she is a typical unfamiliar place in life, she can only worry day by day and can't sleep at night.

Fortunately, the money thrown out finally got the effect, and Lu Chao came back roundly.

"Mother, how could this be? How do people live here?" Lu Chao choked up while helping his mother sit by the fire.

"Master, Madam took all the money to save you, Master. Although we are not penniless, we are not much worse. We can only rent this yard and maintain the necessary consumption." Lu Bin said on one side. He was overjoyed when the son came back. Although he was extremely poor now, in his heart, as long as the son came back, everything would be fine.

"Thanks to Mrs. Lu!" Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Now all the consumption in the house is paid by Mrs. Lu. My mother is already a penny."

"What are you talking about, madam. My money, isn't it the money of the Lu family!" Lu Bin added a few sticks of firewood to the fire. The firewood that had just been carried in from outside was still stained with snowflakes and fell on the fire. Inside, he immediately made a crackling sound.

Lu Chao stood up and said deeply to Lu Bin, "Steward Lu, thank you very much, but with me, Lu Chao will rise again in Dongshan. I will never forget the kindness of Steward Lu."

Lu Bin hurriedly stood up and replied, "This can't be stopped, son, the master treats me like a brother. Now Lu is in trouble, I will do my best. Now the son is better, naturally I will have a bright future in the future."

Lu Chao smiled bitterly, "I have been deprived of all official posts. Now I am just a civilian. But you don't need to worry about it. After I settle down, I will look for a teacher. If I want to come, the teacher will definitely not leave me alone."

"The son is right. Everyone Li has a lofty status in Daqin, and if he is there, he will not suffer the son."

The cold wind shouted outside, but the house was full of joy. Although lunch was just a few dark wotou and a plate of pickles, Lu Chao had a particularly sweet meal.

Without experiencing hardships, how can one know the hardships of life. Since Lu Chao was young, he has never suffered such suffering. This time he has suffered a serious crime, but because of this, he has truly grown up.

"Is Senior Brother Lu at home?" A clear voice came from outside, Lu Chao froze steeply, and the head in his hand snapped to the ground.

"Senior Brother Lu is home? The teacher came to see you." The outside voice rang again, Lu Chao jumped up, opened the door leaf, and snatched it out. Outside the fence, a slouchy boy holding a small box was raising himself. Shouting, behind him, an old man stood with his hands behind his back, smiling.

"Teacher!" Lu Chao swallowed and knelt down in the snow.

Stepping into the house, I met with Mrs. Lu and glanced at the situation in the house. Li Ru sighed: "Lu Chao, you have suffered this time."

Lu Chao stood with his hands down and whispered: "All the disciples are incompetent, and they have failed the teacher's teaching. The mother has also suffered this hardship, and the disciples are ashamed."

Li Ru nodded, tucked up his robe, and sat by the fire. Lu Bin quickly brought a cup of hot water, but there was no better tea at home.

After receiving the hot water, Li Ru took a sip, "After this incident, you have also learned a lot of things after you think about it. Do you have any plans for the future, how to go?"

"The disciple can be regarded as having nothing now, all the official duties are taken away, and I want to ask the teacher for advice, and ask the teacher to point out a clear way." Lu Chao respectfully said.

"If I go to tell the king, it’s not difficult to regain your official position. If you want to come to the king, you won’t refute my face, but Lu Chao, in this way, I’m afraid there will be countless discussions between the ruling and the opposition. , The reason why my Great Qin Dynasty is so strong is because the law is strict, the prince broke the law, and the same crime with the commoner, you paid a large sum of money for negotiation, so you are exempt from the criminal law, but if the official duties are restored, it will be out of discipline ."

"The teacher is right, I don't know what the disciple should do?"

"I will show you a way. General Lee is currently attacking South Korea. I would like to give you a letter of recommendation. You will go to serve under General Lee in white clothes. General Lee is fair and strict. If you can make meritorious deeds. , I will not treat you badly. In this way, if the king entrusts you with an important task, it can be justified. Do you think it is good?" Li Ru smiled. "It's just a bitter cold in the army and strict military regulations. You are in a white body. When you go to the army, your hardship is naturally indispensable. Since you were young, are you willing to eat this hardship?"

Lu Chao was overjoyed, "Thank you, teacher, my disciples are willing to go."

Li Ru took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "This is a recommendation letter from General Li and I. You should collect it yourself. In fact, you have already done a good job in Shannan County, if it weren't for this kind of thing. , The king is ready to transfer you back to the central government to entrust you with a heavy responsibility. Now, you can only postpone it. Although this matter is unexpected, someone must be responsible. General He has died. This responsibility is naturally I want you to recite, not to mention, this fact has nothing to do with you."

Lu Chao lowered his head, and a gleam of hatred flashed in his eyes, "Disciples save it."

"This time Mrs. Lu came out to save you, it can be said to be bankrupt. If you go under General Li, you don't know when you will come back, Tonger!"

Behind Li Ru, the boy holding the box came out and handed the box in his hand to Li Ru.

"This is what the king gave you, so you can settle down with your family, so let's set off immediately!"

Opening the box, the inside was shining golden, it turned out to be a whole box of gold.

With tears in his eyes, Lu Chao knelt on his knees, and took the box, "Chen Lu Chao, thank the king for his great kindness. In this life and this life, he must bow down for Da Qin and die."

"It's good to have this heart, get up! The king values ​​you very much." Li Ru smiled and helped Lu Chao up.

Three days later, Lu Chao left Xianyang. Unlike the lively and lively see-off scene when I left Xianyang for the first time in Sannam County, this time, there was only a lonely carriage and two people, watching Lu Chao set foot on the road to South Korea alone. , Mrs. Lu couldn't help crying again.

"Madam, the gold sent by the king is enough to support our life for a year. After a year, the son will definitely be able to make great achievements, and the official will be restored to his post. Don't worry, madam. The son is not going to fight on the front line. There is absolutely no problem with safety.” Lu Bin comforted the tearful Mrs. Lu. "Madam, it's windy outside, let's go back!"

Just as Lu Chao set foot on his journey to Korea to help Li Xin, outside the Niulan Pass, the commander of the First Army of the East Road Field Army Meng Chong also welcomed the chief officer He Lanxiong and the envoy Gao Yuan, the governor of the East Army.

Gao Yuan came here for the former Dayan Taiwei Zhou Yuan who was repatriated by Donghu and the first group of soldiers who were repatriated.

Compared with two years ago, Niulanshan Daying has undergone tremendous changes.

The original large camp was built on the mountain, and it was originally extremely strong. When the Yan Army marched eastward, it became a major logistics camp and deployment center for the Yan Army. In addition to the large camp, several barracks were erected. At this time, , Although the materials inside had been emptied, the barracks were left vacant, and a little bit of adjustment made the original camp more than doubled.

After Meng Chong arrived here, he did not relax and reinforce the whole place for a moment, because this is not only the base for the East Route Army to attack Donghu, but also the key to resist the invasion of Donghu.

The fortresses extend from the Niulanshan camp. Every five li there is a fortress that stretches to the sky. Since the establishment of the Niulanshan camp, the tentacles have penetrated into the territory of Donghu for hundreds of miles. The ministry was either forced to retreat or was wiped out. The establishment of these fortresses was a symbol of the actual control of this area by the Eastern Army.

"I have seen the governor, I have seen the commander!" Meng Chong strode forward and gave a military salute to Gao Yuan and He Lanxiong.

"Meng Chong, it seems that you haven't been idle since you arrived at the Niulanshan camp. This place has changed a lot!" Gao Yuan got off his horse and laughed loudly.

Meng Chong smiled with a reserved smile ~www.wuxiaspot.com~The governor, dare not say that it is inexhaustible, but if the Donghu people dare to come, he will never come back. "

"Okay, what you want is this arrogance." Gao Yuan laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and looked at the dozens of generals behind Meng Chong, most of them were veterans and veterans he knew. Behind these generals, An infantry phalanx and a cavalry phalanx stood upright, silent.

"Commander Helan, how about Meng Junchang's army?" Looking back at Helanxiong, Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Meng Jun Changzhi has a good army, and He Lan admires it!" He Lanxiong smiled slightly, "Commander Meng, I will have a horse spoon in a pot from now on, so please take care of me."

"Commander Helan is serious, you are my immediate superior, but if you have orders, you will not dare to violate it!" Meng Chong said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, you two will have to work together in the future. Some opportunities are for friendship. Now let's go first, Meng Chong, how far is Zhou Yuan from here? When will we be there!"

"Returning to the governor, it is estimated that I will arrive at the Niulanshan camp this evening, and the general will have sent a troop to greet him. In addition, Dean Cao has also rushed away." (To be continued...)
