Text 500_Chapter 443 The Seriously Wounded Soldier (Ask for Flowers, Ask for Subscription!!)
After retiring the members of the city guards, Su Mu's mood not only did not improve in the slightest, but became worse, for Meng Fang, he had reached the limit of tolerance, no matter whether he could find it back this time, it was impossible for him to let Meng Fang continue to stay in Moon Deer City.
"Hehe, General Su, what's bothering you so much?"
Just when Su Mu was in a bad mood, suddenly, a light laugh came, and he, who was not in a good mood, immediately became angry, he never thought that someone would dare to trespass on his study without a report.
However, after seeing the person who came, Su Mu's original anger slowly subsided, and he saw a reluctant smile on his face looking at the person in front of him: "It turned out to be General Lu * and General Li, the old man was a little rude just now." ”
"There is no need to be like this, the general works hard for the affairs of the empire, and Lu Rong admires this kind of loyalty. Lu Rong was not dissatisfied with Su Mu's anger against him before, but complimented him as soon as he came up.
Hearing Lu Rong's words, Su Mu was in a better mood, and said with a smile: "Lu * praised, compared to Lu, what the old man did was just some trivial things. ”
"General Su doesn't have to be too humble, my father has mentioned to me many times that General Su's prestige when he was young, in the Battle of Changyang, General Su only relied on three thousand imperial iron cavalry, and he defeated tens of thousands of troops in Zhao State, and since then, as soon as the Zhao army heard the name of General Su, it was famous and fearless, such majesty, but it is an example that our juniors should learn. ”
Lu Rong has been deeply influenced by his father since he was a child, and he is not bad at all in terms of political skills, and he is even more precious about the life deeds of the main generals in the empire, and Su Mu is indeed a rare fierce general in the empire when he was young, but because he is now old and no longer brave, he is in a corner and sticks to the city of the moon deer.
And hearing Lu Rong mention his majestic achievements when he was young, even if Su Mu's city government was deep, the joy on his face could not be concealed, after all, those days were also the most glorious time in Su Mu's life.
Although the years have smoothed the edges and corners of this general, but, as he gets older and older, he is more and more yearning for the memories of the past, and now he hears a junior mention his great career, how can he not be happy, not to mention, Lu Ronggui is the only daughter of Lu Xiang, and her status is much higher than herself, but now she is greatly admired for her deeds, which satisfies Su Mu's vanity.
"Oh, by the way, I don't know why General Su was troubled before, Lu Rong is not talented, but he often listens to his father's teachings, if there is a place for Lu Rong, please General Su is not polite. ”
Lu Rong said this, but Su Mu hesitated a little, I don't know whether to tell him about Meng Fang, he knows very well that the Meng family is valued by His Majesty the First Emperor, and there is a faint tendency to compete with Lu Xiang in the empire, and although Meng Fang is just an inconspicuous concubine of the Meng family, if this matter is heard by Lu Rong, I don't know what she will do, whether to fall into the well and put Meng Fang to death, or sincerely make suggestions and find out the specific whereabouts of Meng Fang.
"Well, it seems that General Su still doesn't trust Lu Rong, this time I was ordered by my father to come to help the general stick to the Yuelu Heavy City, so naturally I should do my best, everything is important to the affairs of the empire, and I ask General Su not to be suspicious." Lu Rong's eyes narrowed slightly, but she showed a shallow smile, however, in her smile, Su Mu saw a different signal.
In the end, Su Mu gritted his teeth and sighed: "In fact, this matter is related to the Meng family, which makes the old man have doubts. ”
Although Su Mu's words were not directly pointed out, the meaning was already very obvious, he was telling Lu Rong that this matter was related to the Meng family, and he also knew the relationship between the Meng family and Lu Xiang, but he didn't want to deliberately take sides, which was his biggest concern.
"Oh, does it have anything to do with the Meng family?"
Hearing Su Mu's words, the expression on Lu Rong's face didn't change much, as if she didn't understand the deep meaning of Su Mu's words at all, she just smiled and said, "What General Su said, could it be related to Meng Fang's son?"
"Oh, Lu * knows this person?" At this time, it was Su Mu's turn to be surprised, he never thought that Lu Rong actually guessed that the matter was related to Meng Fang at once, and he was even more jealous in his heart, he didn't know if the sudden disappearance of Meng Fang had anything to do with the seemingly harmless Lu Da* in front of him.
"Hehe, it's a coincidence, when I first entered the city yesterday, it was Huaimeng who let this person have met once, but ......" Lu Rong smiled slightly, and said without the slightest concern.
"But what?" Su Mu's eyes narrowed, but he didn't know what this Lu Da* wanted to say.
Regarding the change in Su Mu's expression, Lu Rong saw it in her eyes, but she didn't care, she just said casually: "However, Meng Fang is too arrogant and domineering by relying on the momentum of the Meng family, I can't see it, let Huan'er teach him a lesson." ”
"Oh, this old man doesn't know about it. At this moment, Su Mu was already very sure that Meng Fang's disappearance must have something to do with this Lu Da*, even if she didn't do it directly, but among them, she definitely had a role.
This time, Su Mu was even more hesitant, the battle between Lu Xiang and the Meng family was nothing new in the empire, and they didn't hide the meaning of others, but the two families were behemoths of the empire, and in the entire empire, except for His Majesty the First Emperor, no one could interfere in their affairs.
As the so-called gods fight, mortals suffer, this Su Mu knows very well, under normal circumstances, he is unwilling to participate in such level of fighting, after all, no matter which side wins, it will not be of much benefit to him, but may suffer from unjustified disasters because of his wrong choice.
However, Su Mu also knew very well that this matter could not be hidden for too long, so it was better to tell Lu Rong directly at this time to see how she reacted, and then see her again.
"Lu * didn't know, just late yesterday night, Meng Fang disappeared from the city guard barracks for no reason, although a large number of city guard soldiers searched, but there was still no trace of him, and the old man was worried about this matter. Su Mu's words were just right, directly pointing out the beginning and end of the matter, and completely staying out of the matter.
"Oh, Meng Fang disappeared into the barracks, and there was such a thing. Lu Rong's eyes flashed slightly, and then his face turned solemn and said: "But I don't know, General Su has any clues now, after all, this matter is not big, it is not small, if it is just a private reason, there is no need to care too much, but if this matter is involved with the enemy country, it is a big matter." ”
