After the Lantern Festival, Aunt Bao also came back to continue helping.
At this time, many merchants began to make their first business trip after the new year.
The business of the one-person restaurant was unprecedentedly good.
News continued to come from the Great Yan Kingdom.
In addition to Meng Nanting, several former generals proclaimed themselves kings and expressed their intention to fight against the Southern Barbarians with one blow.
Although the Southern Barbarian general Gao Zhang was shrewd and powerful, and all the Southern Barbarian generals he led were tough, he still felt a headache when being beaten here and there by these inexplicable groups of stragglers.
However, there were some so-called royalists who gathered around the emperor, saying that they wanted to change the emperor's order, and they also wanted to entangle the troops, and even wanted to borrow troops from the West to attack the southern barbarians.
The merchants talked about these gossips that were unknown to be true or false, and finally concluded with one sentence: "In short, I think that although Gao Zhang took down the capital of Great Yan, it will not be easy to really destroy Great Yan."
Another person lamented: "The beatings come and go, and all the people are suffering."
The merchants on the side nodded quickly: "That's right, and a considerable number of these Dayan people have already fled to our Phoenix City."
Just as he was talking, suddenly the sound of a horse-drawn carriage was heard outside.
The sound was not that of a horse.
As he approached, the heavy curtain of the restaurant was opened, and a gust of cold wind came.
By the way, the snowflakes outside also rushed in.
It was snowing heavily outside.
Every now and then.
A burly man walked in from the outside, no, two, three, four burly men.
Four big men filed in, all with cold faces and stern expressions.
They walked like tigers and tigers, and there was a murderous aura in their actions.
When they walked into the restaurant, they first looked around as if they were looking for something.
After searching for nothing but not finding the person they were looking for, they called the waiter: "Brother, second brother."
Little Baogu slipped forward and said hurriedly: "Four guests, what are your orders?"
The four big men did not expect that a female waiter would come out.
She was still so young.
The first one with a beard said: "Do you have a Mr.
Lu here?"
Little Baogu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, our waiter, cook, and vegetable washer here is named Lu."
The four big men looked at each other, waiter, cook, dishwasher?
For a moment, Beardbeard thought he had found the wrong person, but he still held back the beating in his temples, gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you take me down to meet this Mr.
Lu?"
Little Baogu hesitated for a moment.
These four people looked so evil that it made people tremble in their hearts even if they took one more look at them.
Should she take them to see Brother Lu?
What if they wanted to kill Brother Lu after meeting him?
Listen to the people behind you His guests whispered words such as "They must be here to seek revenge."
Little Baogu was deeply entangled in "Should I be righteous and swear to death or betray my friends to save my life?"
and was deeply entangled.
Can't help myself.
Seeing Little Bao Gu frowning, sighing, and wringing her hands, the bearded man couldn't help frowning and asked: "Waiter, waiter, girl, are you okay?"
At this moment, Torre happened to be carrying a plate and serving food.
Seeing this, he came over and pulled the little girl behind him.
He hugged his arms and stared at the beard and said: "My guest, what can I do?"
The eyes of the two parties met, and both of them were awe-inspiring.
Then they looked around and observed each other, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
One was thinking that this person was full of evil aura and had cold eyes.

At first glance, he was trained on the battlefield. , why did you come here to find a way out?
The other is, if Master Ninth is really here, how can he hang out with such a gangster person?
The bearded man only thought for a moment, then forced out a polite smile: "Master, we are here to find Mr.
Lu, could you please help us lead the way?"
Torre frowned and nodded: "Of course you can, please come here."
So Torre walked in front, full of defenses, while the four sturdy men followed behind, full of doubts.
When they arrived at the backyard, they saw Lu Fang bending down and washing vegetables in the wooden shed set up in the small yard.
He heard Torre shouting from behind: "Lu Fang, someone is looking for him."
He stood up inadvertently and looked back.
The four sturdy men suddenly trembled, their eyes almost glistening with water.
They quickly stepped forward and came to Lu Fang.
Suddenly, they all knelt down with a pop.
"Young Master Ninth."
The voices of the four men exhaled in unison were neat, sad, and mixed with some joy.
Lu Fang lowered his head and looked at the four former generals in front of him, nodded and said: "Very good, you are all still alive."
Since Hanyang City was broken, the Lu family army dispersed, and he was imprisoned in prison.
He didn't know what fate the Lu family army faced.
It feels good to see my former friends alive now.
The leader's bearded eyes were red, and he said in pain: "Master Ninth, we are all still alive, and our Lu family army are all alive, but this life is more uncomfortable than death."
The man next to him with a scar on his face said in a deep voice: "Ninth Young Master, now the old general is no longer here, and the seven young masters are also gone.
Please Ninth Young Master, the old general, avenge the seven young masters."
A slightly bald man in the back said sadly: "Young Master Ninth, now the Great Flame is full of wars and the people are in dire straits.
Please come back to Great Yan with us, Young Master Ninth, and raise your voice to fight against the Southern Barbarians.
The soldiers who died for me in Great Yan are "Revenge and Blood Hate" The fatter one on the left frowned and said: "Master Ninth, please don't be a slave here.
Come with us back.
The remaining 20,000 Lu family army are leaderless and are waiting for the master to return and take charge of the overall situation."
Lu Fang stretched out his hand, lifted up the four former family generals one by one, and said calmly: "Lu Yilong, Lu Yihu, Lu Yibao, Lu Yiyuan, you all get up."
The four generals stood up and looked at him expectantly.
Lu Fang said: "You were all generals of the Lu family, protecting the emperor and the country from generation to generation, but now the loyal and patriotic Lu family has been defeated, and the Lu family army is no longer around.
You either dispersed or found another one."
Lord."
When the four generals heard this, they were shocked, shocked, and looked at Lu Fang in disbelief: "Young Master Ninth, you don't want us anymore."
Lu Fang smiled lightly: "Don't call me Ninth Young Master, your Ninth Young Master is already dead."
The four generals looked at each other for a while, then suddenly knelt down again.
Lu Fang's eyes remained motionless as he said, "What are you doing?"
The four generals said in unison: "If Master Ninth doesn't come back with us, we won't get up."
Hearing this, the expression on Lu Fang's face was extremely cold: "Then you just kneel here."
After saying that, he took the freshly washed vegetables to the stove.
Then, he heard the sound of fire and cooking coming from inside, and a light voice scolded: "Lu Fang, you are so hot."
If it’s too strong, it will burn the pot.”
After a while, I heard the clear voice say: "Lu Fang, wash this pot quickly, I want to use it."
The faces of the four generals were pale, and they looked in the direction of the kitchen with increasing disbelief.
This, is this their old white-robed general Lu Fang, who became famous in one battle and was victorious in every battle, who was able to set up military formations with dexterous calculations and perfect strategies, and who was the ninth-ranked general in the Lu family?
From noon to evening, Lu was busy in the front hall and courtyard of the kitchen, occasionally passing by the four generals, but never raised his eyes.
The four generals were also honest, so they knelt there motionless, letting the snowflakes float, clinging to their beards, floating to their bald heads, and melting into their scars, finally turning them into a A fat white snowman. 1010572otgt the strongest mad soldier Throughout the afternoon, their eyes gradually showed hatred, but it was not Lu Fang who hated him, but Qin Zheng.

They had heard from the eldest lady that it was the Qin Zheng who bullied the Ninth Young Master, the Qin Zheng who summoned the Ninth Young Master, and the Qin Zheng who demanded repayment of favors.
After dinner time, the business of the one-person restaurant gradually became deserted.
Qin Zheng finally had time to take a look at the four squatting snowmen in the yard.
She frowned and said: "You guys, get up and eat together."
Four pairs of hateful eyes shot towards him, their eyes filled with ice and hatred, as if they were sworn in.
Even though Qin Zheng was such a calm person, he couldn't help but shudder.
She took a step back, nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to kneel, then kneel."
She walked into the main room, laid out the food, and served the dishes.
On a snowy day, she also had some wine to keep out the cold.
The three of them lowered their heads and ate and drank.
By the way, the weather this year was really cold, but the snow was falling well.
The coming year will be a good year, and business will definitely get better and better.
The four snowmen outside are as steel-like as they are, and they are not afraid of the cold or hunger.
However, how can this refreshing aroma of wine, which penetrates directly into the nose and stomach after smelling it, be so torturous?
The bearded Lu Yilong said in pain: "Master Ninth, come back with us to take charge of the overall situation."
The scar-faced Lu Yihu looked up to the sky and shouted: "Master Ninth, I, Dayan, am in dire straits."
Lu Yibao, who was slightly bald, lowered his head and sighed: "Master Ninth, the remaining 20,000 troops are waiting for you to return and take charge of the overall situation."
Fat Lu Yiyuan realized that they had finished speaking, and his lips wriggled, and finally said: "Master Ninth, we are so miserable."
Torre couldn't stand it anymore and sighed: "I think these four are all men, and they are to my liking."
After saying that, he took a jar of wine out and divided it among the four of them.
"I, Torre, have always admired benevolence and righteousness the most."
The four of you, please accept the wine as a gift to the heroes."
The bearded Lu Yilong cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, strong man.
You're welcome, Lu Yilong."
After saying that, he took the jar of wine, raised his neck and drank, gulping, gulping, and downed a quarter of it.
Then he wiped his mouth and handed the wine jar to Lu Yihu.
Lu Yihu took it and drank a lot, then drank another quarter, followed by Lu Yibao, Lu Yiyuan, and after each round, the jar of wine was gone.
Torre admired these four people more and more, and couldn't help but cheer: "Good drinker" The four generals clasped their fists: "Thank you for this hero."
Torre entered the room carrying a wine jar, with a sly look on his face, and said with a smile: "We have no more wine to drink."
Qin Zheng looked at Lu Fang, and Lu Fang said calmly: "I've run out of wine, so just go to sleep."
Torre pointed outside, eyes widened and said: "I really want them to kneel outside all night."
Lu Fang didn't answer and walked out of the house, looking at the four former favorites in the yard.
The four generals looked at Lu Fang eagerly with sorrow in their eyes.
Lu Fang sighed in a low voice: "Four of you, before me, Lu Fang, is destined to be a road that will lead to eternal infamy.
I don't want you to accompany me on this road."
The four generals all bowed to the end: "The path of the Ninth Young Master is our path.
If the Ninth Young Master can walk, we can walk."
Lu Fang suddenly stretched out his hand and spread his palm in front of the four former beloved generals.
In his palm, there happened to be the word "sin".
Snowflakes fell gently on his palms, on his slender finger bones, and on the word "sin" that could never be erased.
He whispered: "This word is a sin that cannot be eliminated in my life."
The four generals looked deeply at the word "sin" and their breathing gradually became heavier.
In the early spring night, snowflakes fell on thousands of houses, and the small courtyard was silent.
Only the breathing of the four generals was so clear.
After a long time, they all stretched out their arms and rolled up their sleeves.

In the faint light of the snow, you could clearly see that there was the same word "sin" on their arms.
The bearded Lu Yilong lowered his head and said slowly and sadly: "Master Ninth, no one convicts us, and no one inscribes on us.
We convict ourselves, engrave ourselves, hold the knife and write a stroke ourselves."
Carved one stroke at a time."
Tears almost fell from his eyes.
He lowered his head, almost to the snow: "We are the sinners of Great Yan."
The one hundred thousand soldiers of the Lu family were all hot-blooded good men who wanted to shed their last drop of blood for Great Yan, but they opened the door with their own hands and welcomed the enemy of life and death.
This is the shame of warriors, this is the shame of men, and it is the whip that tortures their hearts countless times every night in exile.
No one has ever convicted them.
It is they who have carved the word "sin" on their arms one by one.
Lu Yilong's voice was sad: "Young Master Ninth, in this life, every time we hold a knife and every bite of food, we must remember that this is a shame that the Lu family army will never be able to wash away."
He knelt deeply on the ground and said in an almost trembling voice: "Young Master Ninth, go back and take charge of the overall situation for us.
Since Hanyang City, the Lu family army has been leaderless and can only fight guerrillas against the southern barbarians, and there is no food and grass supply.
Our brothers They suffered a lot, some froze to death, some died of starvation, and some were killed by the Nanman army.
Now Gao Zhang led the Second Nanman Army.
A hundred thousand troops surrounded Guixu Mountain where we were, threatening to give us seven days to surrender.
After seven days, we would be surrounded and annihilated, and all our Lu family troops would be wiped out.
Now there are only 20,000 Lu family troops left.
The remnants, and lack of food and grass, everyone is sallow and skinny and spends the sun in the mountains.
How can they be worth the 200,000 wolves and tigers of the Southern Barbarians?"
When Lu Fang heard this, his originally motionless eyes suddenly shot out a cold light, staring at the four former subordinates in front of him, and asked in a cold voice: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Lu Yilong was about to cry: "Master Ninth, there are rumors in the world that you were executed together with the general and other young masters, and we always thought you were dead.
Until a few days ago, we were desperate and went to find someone to help us fight.
When we heard The merchants on the road described the seventh lady as being very similar to us.
Sister, we found the seventh lady with a glimmer of hope, and it turned out to be our eldest lady.
The eldest lady told us that you were still alive, so the four of us hurriedly came here to see the young master.
He doesn’t even want to go back with us, so he doesn’t dare to talk about it.”
There was thought in Lu Fang's eyes: "On what day did Gao Zhang start the siege of Ghost Ax Mountain?"
Lu Yilong said hurriedly: "Today is the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, and it will be three days later."
He almost wanted to count it out with his fingers.
Lu Yiyuan, who was behind him, remembered it clearly and hurriedly added: "Master Ninth, Gao Zhang said that if our Lu family army has not surrendered by noon on the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, they will start an encirclement and suppression campaign."
When Lu Fang heard this, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "You guys go back first."
Lu Yilong raised his head and looked at Lu Fang in confusion.
Lu Fang slowly added: "I will rush back to Ghost Ax Mountain before noon on the 24th of the first lunar month."
Lu Yilong's eyes showed surprise, and he nodded solemnly: "Okay."
After hearing this, the four generals finally let go of their anxious hearts.
They bowed deeply to Lu Fang again, then turned their heads and filed away with full expectations. gd1806102:
