Chapter 1065: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (Extra 2)
Only “He” travels the world with a sword (Part 2)
After many years, Lu Qing returned to the capital two years after leaving. He brought back a large number of manuscripts and picture albums, and spent another three months sorting and compiling them.
The first book written by Lu Qing was published, and it was in great demand. Three editions were published and all were sold out.
Xue Yao and Qiu Yang were both very happy for their friend, but they also had some complaints.
"We're officials here, but you're sneaking out to travel by yourself. That's really not nice!" Qiu Yang complained to Lu Qing. "Besides, you didn't eat well out there. Look at you, you're almost skin and bones!"
The dark and thin Lu Qing smiled and said, "I'm not suitable to be an official, but this is fine for now."
"Are you leaving again this time?" Xue Yao asked the crucial question, "You don't look well. You should stay in the capital to recuperate for a while."
Lu Qing smiled and said, "It's been almost four months, and you're still raising it! I've already asked someone to prepare it, and we'll be leaving in half a month!"
"You..." Xue Yao wanted to persuade him again, but thinking that he was just a stubborn donkey, he said, "Forget it, do whatever you want! But the message of safety cannot be cut off."
"Okay!" Then Lu Qing used tea instead of wine, clinked glasses with his two friends, and drank it all in one gulp.
This time, Lu Qing went to the northern prairie.
Ten years ago, after the Qiu family army won a great victory, the border has been relatively peaceful.
Standing in the market of a small border town, Lu Qing's lively side finally showed up. He looked at the dazzling array of goods and felt like buying a little of everything.
"Slaves for sale! Useful and obedient slaves!" A shout attracted Lu Qing's attention. When he looked over, he saw a young man falling to the ground after being whipped by a slave.
Lu Qingzhong frowned slightly, feeling a little reluctant, and said, "Don't hit him. How much is this? I'll buy it!"
The slave trader had no idea that this young man would be sold so quickly. He first looked Lu Qing up and down before saying, "Look carefully, this guy is a mixed-race of foreigners and Central Plains people. Don't pay and then regret it, I won't take it back."
After saying that, he deliberately pinched the boy's chin and pushed his head in front of Lu Qing so that he could see the boy's eyes clearly - blue-green, although the color was not pure, it was still clear.
However, apart from the color of his eyes, this young man does not look like the people from the Central Plains. He also has black hair and does not have a high nose and deep eyes.
Unlike those slaves who had been imprisoned for a long time, the boy's eyes were not timid, and one could even see a wolf-like ferocity in them.
"I want to buy this guy. Tell me the price!" Lu Qing didn't hesitate. He felt that this young man was worth saving.
The slave trader had just observed Lu Qing and realized that he was a rich man, so he offered a somewhat outrageous price.
"You really think I'm a pushover!" Lu Qing was helpless. He turned to his guard and said, "Go call Lord An here and ask him to bargain for us."
When in other places, Lu Qing would basically not reveal his identity on his own initiative, but the county magistrate of this city was from the family of his good friend Qiu Yang, and the garrison was also Qiu's army, so he was recognized as soon as he entered the city.
Lord An has been accompanying us all the way and just went to the front to take care of some things.
After receiving the news, I rushed over!
When the slave trader saw that Lu Qing really knew Lord An, he was so scared that he immediately said he would give the boy to him.
"I won't take advantage of you. I won't give you a penny less than what you owe me." He then asked the guard to pay.
But just as he untied the young man, the other party bit Lu Qing's arm and then cursed at him.
Since Lu Qing dared to travel around like this, he must be proficient in many languages, so he immediately replied in the other party's words.
The young man seemed to have not expected to meet someone from the Central Plains who could speak their language. He was very surprised for a moment and did not resist anymore.
After the group arrived at the inn, Lu Qing arranged food, clothes and bath water, and found a doctor to check the boy's injuries.
Three days later, the boy, who had been in poor condition, was full of energy.
Lu Qing's original intention was to save people, not to really buy him as a slave.
So when he saw that the other party had almost recovered, he bought a horse for the young man, gave him some silver, and sent him out of the city.
The two people who thought they would never meet again in this life met again by a river a few months later.
But this time, the person who needed help was Lu Qing.
"Are you a woman?" After rescuing Lu Qing from the river, Dahesi planned to use his body temperature to keep Lu Qing warm, only then did he discover that his former savior was actually a woman.
Lu Qing had been soaking in the icy river water for a long time, so she was suffering from hypothermia. She muttered incoherently, "Cold! So cold!"
Although he knew that women in the Central Plains attached great importance to reputation, Dahesi could not bear to see Lu Qing die in front of him. He gritted his teeth and took off the man's heavy wet coat, hugged him in his arms, and used his body to keep him warm by the fire!
