At the end of breaking "straight" you will need to be cautious

Chapter 11

Elder Lu on the opposite side sneered twice, and said leisurely: "I think back then, when I first entered this prison, I was treated like this."

But as year after year passed, there was a big change of blood among the prison guards in the sky prison. Later, because one escaped, the first emperor was furious, and the guards died. No one remembered his name. What, even he himself has somewhat forgotten.

Upon hearing his words, Yu Wei turned his head and glanced at him, picked up a steamed bun from Chu Zicheng's plate, and threw it into the cage, "Old man, it's time to eat."

Chu Zicheng frowned when he saw this.

He turned around and flattered himself again, "The little one will leave first?" Yu Wei asked tentatively.

"Wait." Seeing that he was about to leave, Chu Zicheng opened his mouth. Under the suspicious eyes of the other party, Chu Zicheng pointed to Lu Lao, "unchain him."

"Okay." Although Yu Wei was a little surprised, he still obeyed the words of the person he admired.

So he pinched his nose to open the cell, and walked in. Maybe Lu Lao had been chained for some time, and it was so entangled. It took Yu Wei a long time to find Kong and untie him.

In this way, Lu Lao's arm became even thinner, and there was a deep mark on it, but Lu Lao covered it up as if he didn't care.

After all, these jailers tossed his old bones in different ways every day or two. After so many years, they should have gotten used to it.

When Chu Zicheng saw Yu Wei came out and locked the cell, he opened his hands as if trying to swipe away the bad luck he thought was on him, and said, "Give him the food."

"General?"

Yu Wei tilted his head to see him sitting next to the cage, and was even more surprised. Even so, he honestly brought the food to Mr. Lu's door.

Mr. Lu laughed twice, and said, "Two more jars of wine."

Chu Zicheng got a headache when he heard the wine, but she couldn't shirk the other party's interest, so she asked Yu Wei, "Excuse me, do you have any wine?"

Yu Wei glared at Mr. Lu from an angle Chu Zicheng couldn't see, but said: "Of course, General, just wait, I'll take it now, little one."

As he said that, he went out quickly, and after a while, Chu Zicheng and Lu Laojiao each had an extra jar of wine, and they also thoughtfully presented wine cups.

Chu Zicheng fished the wine jar closer from the gap and found a good angle. Before he opened the red cloth on the jar, he heard Lu Lao's contented laughter.

Chu Zicheng also had a smile on his face. Seeing that Yu Wei wanted to pour wine for him, he waved his hand and tried to pour it in. It was Lu Lao who spilled all over the ground to fill a cup. Chu Zicheng saw Yu Wei Wei was indifferent, and said, "Old Lu, can you tell me your story?"

This cup of wine was finished by Mr. Lu in one sip. He closed his eyes and sipped carefully, and smacked his tongue, "The old man is getting old, and I haven't drunk this kind of wine for a long time. Why don't you let me listen to you first?" story."

Mrs. Lu silenced Chu Zicheng all of a sudden. She glanced at Yu Wei who was full of expectation, and took a sip of wine.The wine tasted very astringent, Chu Zicheng couldn't help frowning, she couldn't help wondering whether her own jar was brewed together with the one Lu Lao drank.Even so, Chu Zicheng drank it all down, put down the wine cup, and Chu Zicheng began to murmur: "That autumn, when I first arrived in Chengxiang, the east city was ruined, and the streets were full of devastation. The common people died. Looking at the wailing of the wounded, the panic and pain of being alive, what greeted us was not cheers. The powerful swordsmith held an unopened sword and asked us, "Why did you come?" Big and small wounds, I know, he never stopped for a moment..."

Except for going out with her father when she was young, the wars that Chu Zicheng experienced before were nothing more than small internal turmoil. It was also the first time she saw the collision between countries. They used all the means that could annoy the enemy generals and lose their position.

Chu Zicheng didn't think she could be eloquent, but as she told the story, she seemed to have returned to the past, the dead common people, the pain of the elderly, the sobbing of women, the wailing of newborn babies, and the brothers who fought bloody battles The roars are countless.

Unknowingly, half an hour passed. When Chu Zicheng came back to his senses, many jailers gathered around the cage, and even the wine outside his prison was empty by someone. Chu Zicheng chuckled twice and took it back. With a look of loneliness in his eyes, "Old Lu, can you tell me your story?"

"My story..." Mr. Lu looked at the only ray of light outside the prison, put down the meat in his hand, and took a sip of his wine.

"My story is long..."

He seemed to be lost in memory, and he said slowly after a long time: "At that time...the first emperor reigned for 28 years...a calamity fell...Guangzhong, Yujing, Zijiang'an and other ten neighboring cities shook the earth. Due to the locust plague in Shengdu, the drought in Moyang, and the emptiness of the national treasury, although many ministers donated silver taels for disaster relief, there were too many refugees. The late emperor had no choice but to send people to inspect and distribute supplies according to the intensity of the disaster..."

At that time, all the officials in the court knew that this was a hard job, and it was not thankful to work hard, so they avoided it if they could, but Mr. Lu was different, so he went. After he went, he found that the intensity of disasters in various regions was similar. , When the supplies were too late, he went to Zhong Shuo, who was the nearest, and tried his best to get Zhong Shuo to help.

Although Mr. Lu said it lightly, Chu Zicheng knew how much courage and wisdom it would take.

The jailers obviously thought of this too. If each of them were placed in Mr. Lu's position, they would avoid him like other ministers.As a result, everyone looked at Mr. Lu with admiration. They never thought that an old man who looked so weak could have such great strength. If Xiping didn't have him back then, what would he look like now?

I don't know which jailer got up first and bowed his hands, and the rest came to their senses, got up together, and respected Mr. Lu.

Especially the jailers who yelled at Mr. Lu on weekdays, and sometimes even forgot to bring him food, and tormented him with tears in their eyes.Who can figure out how many of those locked up in the sky prison are really guilty of crimes against the country?

As a general at one time, she turned into a green leaf dotted with red flowers, or even worse, she became a little transparent being shielded by everyone, maybe she will be the one who will eat the dry buns tomorrow...

While teasing inwardly, Chu Zicheng became pensive instead.

After watching everyone leave, she got up. Mr. Lu seemed to know what she was going to do, and waved his hand, "Don't beat this old man. In terms of contribution alone, this old man is no match for the great general."

Although she heard Mr. Lu say so, Chu Zicheng still respected him. Her father did not admire many people in his life, and Mr. Lu was one of them.

She remembered that Father Chu had told her about Elder Lu when he was still alive. Father Chu also had a half-knowledge about Elder Lu being thrown into prison. It's come to this end.

Chu Zicheng was still thinking about it, and the wine in front of Mr. Lu was almost spilled. With a little bit of wine, Mr. Lu talked about his daughter Lu Jinyun.

He said that Lu Jinyun was only one and a half years old before he was imprisoned, and she was less than two years old. At that time, she could not call her daddy when she was babbling. Now it has been exactly 18 years, and I don't know what she looks like now.

Chu Zicheng listened to what he was saying, and couldn't bear to interrupt him. After careful calculation, Mr. Lu was only in his destiny now, but he looked like a rare man.It's not easy for him to live up to now, if he didn't still have a glimmer of hope in his heart, and wanted to see Lu Jinyun with his eyes closed, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.
