Chapter 207 Selecting Beans
Qiu Ju was furious: "What future do you have? I locked you up in the hut today because the Second Young Master was kind-hearted. Do you still think you can still be a maid in the Lu family? Bah!"
After spitting heavily, Qiuju put down her rolled-up sleeves and turned to leave.
Amei, who fell to the ground, took a while to get up slowly. There was a cut at the corner of her mouth, and when she wiped it, her hands were covered in blood.
Ah Mei was just a personal maid in the Lu Mansion, but she had never done any heavy work since she was a child, and she had never experienced a beating like this. At this moment, looking at the blood on her hands in the moonlight outside the window, she couldn't help but cry out of fear.
"Amei."
At this moment, a figure suddenly stood in front of the window, and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, don't worry, the second young master will let you out tomorrow."
"But...but I'm scared." Ah Mei ran to the window in shock and joy. "Think of a solution quickly and take me away tonight! What if the Second Young Master changes his mind tomorrow?"
"No, the Second Young Master is as kind-hearted as the Madam..."
"Don't talk so much, take me away quickly. Tomorrow morning, with so many people watching, how can I still have the face to live? Woohoo, to be honest, I regret it so much now. If I hadn't listened to your nonsense, I wouldn't have stolen the lady's jewels."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't cry yet. I'll come find you later and take you away with me."
"Okay, I'll wait for you then."
There was a glimmer of anticipation in Amei's eyes!
Rather than running away in the middle of the night, she was more afraid of meeting Mrs. Lu tomorrow. Ah Mei knew that she was too embarrassed to see her, so it would be better for her to just run away.
At the same time, Yangliu Town.
Lu Chenhe and Yun Liu approached the city wall with two guards.
Yangliu Town was very familiar to Lu Chenhe. He knew where to enter the city directly. However, now was a good time to observe the town while it was night.
It turned out that after Min Yuan led his army into Yangliu Town, he did not hide, but set up camp on both sides of the street.
Seeing the bright lights, there must be quite a few soldiers. One can vaguely see patrolling teams of ten, coming and going very vigilantly.
In this situation, it would be extremely difficult for them to sneak into the city gate and find their father and others among the numerous soldiers.
Seeing Lu Chenhe frowning, a guard said, "Young Master, why don't we sneak into the city from the lotus pond?"
Yun Liu said, "If we go in and get caught in this situation, we'll just die."
The guard suddenly didn't know what to do.
Lu Chenhe just said, "You two go back first and go to Wuming Village to protect everyone. Yunliu and I will go into the city."
"But the eldest young master..." The guard has always been loyal to the Lu family, and he was worried about letting the two young masters go alone.
"No need to say more, let's go."
Lu Chenhe already has an idea in mind!
When I came here, I thought it would be easier to get things done with more people, but now the situation has changed. The fewer people there are, the less likely it is to attract attention.
The two guards had no choice but to return the same way they came.
Yun Liu didn't ask any more questions, as he already understood what Lu Chenhe meant: "Brother, you want to walk in openly."
"Yes, only if we are captured and joined the team can we find out the whereabouts of our father."
Although this method is a bad idea, Lu Chenhe's most urgent thing right now is to know whether his father is safe.
Yun Liu naturally agreed.
"As long as we all get together, we can definitely find a way out."
Soon, the soldiers guarding the city discovered two men dressed as young masters. One was wearing a long green robe, a jade belt in his hair, and had a handsome face and a cold expression; the other was wearing a wide robe, with loose long hair and narrow eyes full of smiles.
The two men were both extremely handsome, so the soldier didn't dare to neglect them and asked quickly, "Who are you two?"
Yun Liu hurried forward and clasped his fists: "Officer, I'm just passing by, please give me a favor."
After he finished speaking, he stuffed the silver into his hand.
The soldier shouted angrily, "Who wants to get close to you? The country is in a critical moment, and you playboys only know how to travel around the world. Don't you want to share the country's worries?"
"Uh, to share the country's worries?"
Yun Liu looked at Lu Chenhe, then turned his head and said with a smile: "Sir, what you said makes sense, but look at us, we are just weak scholars. We naturally want to contribute to the country. When we go back, we will write a few poems and spread them all over the world to give those desert soldiers a good scolding."
"Hey, are you kidding me? If everyone just cursed like this, why would we have to fight with swords?"
Yun Liu's playful smile immediately angered the guards. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered, "Capture them. General Min has ordered that anyone who passes through this place will be arrested and sent into exile."
"Ah, confinement... Hey... Be gentle..." Yun Liu pretended to struggle. He had to do so. After all, Young Master Lu Chenhe was full of worries and looked like he would let you tie him up.
If he didn't struggle any more, what if the other party saw through him?
Fortunately, the soldiers didn't notice anything was going on. After they had twisted them inside, they took them to a corner of the team and handed them over to a cook named Lao Lu. "These two are under your charge. I'll write down their names when I come back. Keep a good lookout for them. Don't let them get away. They'll have to go back to the battlefield after two days of adaptation."
"Yes, I'll remember it."
Old Lu's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. He turned around and said to the two of them, "There's been a lot of fighting lately, and Huo Juntou's here is often short of manpower. As you can see, it's not easy to cook for so many people. Having you two help out right now is really a great thing."
Lu Chenhe was stunned: "..."
He has never done housework since he was a child, so how could he help in the kitchen?
Yun Liu also opened his mouth in surprise: "We are here to join the army."
He...he can't cook either, okay?
Lao Lu continued to smile: "Everyone is here to join the army, but we, the Fire Army Captain, usually cook and fight in wars. Don't look at my knife, it is used to cut vegetables in peacetime, but it can also kill bandits in wartime."
...the two of them looked disgusted o(╥﹏╥)o
"No, no, no, that's just a joke." Lao Lu said, "There's a difference. The other one on my back is for beheading bandits, and the one in my hand is for chopping vegetables."
After saying that, he turned around and asked them to look behind him. The two knives looked similar, and he wondered if he would be confused.
In short, I just came in, and it is not the time to inquire about my father's whereabouts.
Lu Chenhe coughed lightly: "In that case, please ask Master Lu to arrange for us to do the work!"
Old Lu said, "Hey, don't be so polite. I'm a dozen years older than you. Just call me Uncle Lu. Come on, young masters, please pick these beans!"
Later, Lu Chenhe and Yun Liu sat in front of a pile of beans, at a loss as to what to do.
After a long moment, Yun Liu's voice rang out slowly, "Brother, if Xiao Die and Xing Luo knew we were here to pick beans, would they laugh at us?"
“…”
