Young hero, please stay! !

Chapter 80 Entering Luo City

The bright moon hung high in the sky. After several people had eaten and drank enough, they fell asleep leaning against the tree trunks.The little girl leaned on the shoulder of the woman in plain clothes, but she didn't seem to sleep very soundly. She could only sleep a little more peacefully when the woman in plain clothes held her hand.

Meng You sat by the fire, constantly adding new firewood to it. The south of the Yangtze River was already humid, especially at night when they slept in the barren mountains. Lighting more firewood could prevent moisture from getting into their bones.

Seeing that the woman in plain clothes was obviously injured, Meng You touched a few pills in his arms. When they parted in Rouge County, the little fat man cried a lot of snot and tears. The reluctance was displayed to the extreme. The little fat man wiped his nose and took out a handful of pills from his arms. He said that he had made them during his free time in the past few days, according to the notes his grandfather left for him. Refining, elixirs have different colors and have different effects.Meng You was hesitating whether to trust that unreliable guy again. Although the elixir he refined was extremely weird, there was a saying that it was indeed very effective.

After thinking for a long time, Meng You still didn't dare to try it. It was actually the little fat man's pill that he had taken before that left a trace of it. It would be okay if he didn't use it. He could still have some excuses, but if he took it, it would be fine. Come on, wouldn't your reputation be completely ruined?
No one spoke, and Meng You felt a little bored, so he took the initiative to talk to the woman in plain clothes: "The world has been in chaos recently. Does the girl know what happened?"

The woman in plain clothes looked pale. After looking at Meng You, she said softly: "It's just that some loyal ministers of Chu in the past gathered some old generals and wanted to take advantage of the tense war in the north to form a country in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan is already a country of its own." Based on rice, grain and money, most of the famous generals in the imperial court have gone to the northern front. The only two famous generals are still resisting the monsters at the border of the southern wilderness. These loyal ministers are extremely stealthy and fast, and they caught the soldiers of the big city in the south of the Yangtze River by surprise. ."

Meng You nodded and asked doubtfully: "Is it just such a coincidence? The prairie barbarians in the north are marching south in a big way, and the Jiangnan side is raising troops at the same time?"

Seeing that the woman stopped talking, Meng You continued: "Where did the injury on the girl's body come from? Xijian City is famous all over the world. Logically speaking, no one should do anything to the girl."

"I have been to the South China Sea before under the command of my master. I happened to meet the rebels on the way back. I wanted to rescue the people in the ruined city, but I didn't expect that the other party also had masters. Under the siege of three people, although I saved my life, but I was also infected by a strange poison that was specifically targeted at monks. Now that I have no cultivation, I am no different from an ordinary person."

Meng You's eyes rolled around: "I once heard that monks above the seventh floor are strictly prohibited from participating in the human military service. If what the girl said is true, it is really a big deal."

The woman in plain clothes was a little surprised and said with a smile: "I never told you about my realm, how did you guess it?"

Meng You said proudly: "I am different from the girl. I have grown up in the market since I was a child, and it has become instinctive to observe people's words and emotions. The girl said that she is a person from Xijian City, so her level is naturally not too low. This is why [-]. The girl said that she was ordered by her master to go to the South China Sea. The south of the Yangtze River is more than ten thousand miles away from the coast of the South China Sea. If the girl is not a monk in the Seventh Floor, I am afraid she will have to waste a lot of time. This is the second one. Although my realm is not high, I have not been in the Jianghu for a long time. It hasn't been long, but I also know that the strange poison that affects monks should be rare. If the girl is not a monk in the seventh floor, then it can only be said that the guy who poisoned you has something wrong with his head."

The woman in plain clothes nodded and said with a smile: "I really underestimate you."

"Since everything I said is right, shouldn't the girl be given a reward?" Meng You chuckled, "It's not too much, I just need the girl to tell you their names, and we will go on the road together, so how embarrassing it is. "

The woman in plain clothes pondered for a moment and said softly: "I'm going downstairs. My sister's name is Li Qingmeng."

Meng You gave a thumbs up: "What a good name! It really matches the peerless looks of the two girls! In that case, I won't be polite. I'm Meng Siguo, this is my brother Zhang Yuanshan. Those two little ones over there , the girl’s name is A Dao, and the boy’s name is Xie Gou, we will be friends from now on!”

The woman in plain clothes named Lou Yao didn't want to talk to this smooth-talking guy at all. She simply closed her eyes and started pretending to be asleep.

As soon as it dawned, a few people walked together and headed south.The little girl named Li Qingmeng didn't have enough leg strength and often needed to take a break after walking for a while. Ah Dao seemed to dislike this kind of young lady from a wealthy family, and ignored her, but Xie Gou was particularly considerate. The two women kept going back and forth.

Meng You also had a good impression of this little girl. Although she was exhausted along the way, she never took the initiative to complain. She seemed to be very afraid of life. Meng You couldn't help but want to tease her. Why don't you come home with me? I am a daughter-in-law, why not be a daughter-in-law, a maid, etc. Every time, the little girl just scolds a gangster with red cheeks, then runs to Lou Yao's side and ignores this guy.

His family is in Luocheng, and his surname is Li.Meng You thought for a while, could this little girl be the daughter-in-law his mother told him about?If it's true, it's okay. There's really no choice in this girl's looks. The key is her temperament and temperament. She looks like a child from an honest family. Even though she's a bit young at this age, she looks like she's only fifteen or sixteen years old.

They walked for three days in a row and stayed in the mountains. They met many refugees along the way. They heard that many cities outside had been captured, and some took the initiative to surrender. In order to demonstrate, the rebels had massacred several cities. .

Seeing the miserable situation of these refugees, Meng You also felt a little pitiful. Fortunately, most of the cities that were breached were north of Luocheng. He was enjoying the hardship. At least his daughter-in-law, whom he had never met, was still safe.

The world was too chaotic, so they didn't delay too much on the road. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any rebels along the way. They only saw some bandits. Meng You punched each one and spared a lot of detours, and finally arrived at On the tenth day, we arrived outside Luo City.

After several people looked at the mountain for a long time and realized that there was no danger in Luo City, they slowly went down the mountain. But who would have thought that as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, a group of cavalry wearing heavy black armor came to greet them.Meng You is naturally no stranger to these people. After all, he also passed the trial. If he hadn't thought about making a career in the world, I'm afraid he would be a member of the Meng family's heavy cavalry now.

The leading general stood up and dismounted, bowed and said: "I have been ordered by the general to come to greet the young lady." Meng You looked at Li Qingmeng in surprise, how could this little girl from the south of the Yangtze River be related to the Meng family in the north? origin?I'm so darling, I originally thought she was just a young lady from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect that she was actually a member of the Meng family.

Li Qingmeng nodded towards the general and said with some joy: "Sister."

"Miss, be careful, our Meng family only has one heir, the eldest son." The general interrupted.

Li Qingmeng knew that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words: "Eldest brother is in Luo City now?"

"Yes, the general suppressed bandits all the way and arrived at Luo City. He should be worshiping in the back mountain at this time."

Li Qingmeng nodded vigorously and said happily to Meng You and the others: "This is the general under my cousin. He is here to greet us. Take a few steps quickly and return to Luo City first. I will show you around then. Look."

The general's face was covered with iron armor and his face could not be seen. Seeing that the young lady was surrounded by unfamiliar faces, he also said warily: "Miss, who are these?"

Li Qingmeng explained: "They are my friends. If it were not for their protection along the way, I would have long been gone."

Meng You smiled secretly in his heart, don't worry, with your appearance, at most you will be snatched away to be a wife of a stronghold or something, and you will definitely not die.

Hearing this, the general nodded and invited Li Qingmeng, Lou Yao, and A Dao into the carriage. Meng You and the other three could only ride on their own because they were men.

With the protection of the Meng family's heavy cavalry, Meng You was happy and free. Looking up, he could see the faint appearance of Luo City in the distance.

Although Luocheng is not well-known, it was the first capital of Chu in the past. It was only because it was surrounded by powerful enemies in the north that the king of Chu changed the capital to Yingdu, which is where Xijian City is now.

After all, having been the capital for hundreds of years, the scale of Luo City is naturally huge. It is said that even the stones used to build the city walls are diamonds carefully selected by the Mohist disciples and are indestructible.

The gates of Luo City, which is supposed to be extraordinary, are now closed, and the soldiers on the city walls have all been replaced by soldiers of the Meng family army. The dark city walls have traces of erosion over time, like a The older the wine is, the more powerful it is.

Entering the city, the scene was even more unbelievable. Every household in the huge city was closed, the streets were full of refugees from the north, and sergeants all over the city were transporting grain, grass and ordnance, as if there was about to be a disaster. A battle of battle.

Meng You was horrified when he saw this. He had promised to stay away from the war. It seemed that even if he wanted to run away now, the soldiers guarding the city would not let him out.

Oh my god.

Meng You wanted to cry but had no tears, but after all, Luo City was one of the largest cities in Jiangnan, and with the Meng family's heavy cavalry here, there wouldn't be much danger.

Meng You nodded and comforted himself.

Meng You looked at the Meng family's heavy cavalry that could be seen everywhere, looked at the familiar attire, and somehow suddenly thought of his comrade.

I don’t know where that girl has gone. Anyway, the war in the north is tense, and trouble is happening in the south of the Yangtze River. It seems that I was lucky if I didn’t join the Meng family’s heavy cavalry. Otherwise, if I’m fighting everywhere now, who knows how I’ll survive. how long.
