Chapter 146: Fight a tough battle
Coming out of Zhuangzi, Zheng Sui always felt that the mood of the fifth brother was much duller than when he came.
She never thought that after she finished soaking in the hot spring, she would fall asleep directly in Caifu's arms.
So much so, when I left, it was close to dawn.
Zheng Sui thought that there would be a conference in the morning, and before getting on the horse, he persuaded: "Brother, if you are in a hurry, take Hou Yi to go first, and hurry all the way, about to catch up, let Hao Yi pick them to stay, and accompany me to walk slowly, so that things will not be delayed." ”
"What are you thinking?" Zheng Wei shook his senses and patted Zheng Sui's head, "It's not for this, Hengzhu has already explained to Wen Weng, and there are eighteen uncles, even if I am not there, I can't miss anything." ”
After Zheng Wei finished speaking, he said again, "Xixi, Uncle Nineteen, don't mention it to anyone after you go back." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Zheng Sui get on the horse.
"Oh. Zheng Sui said softly, looking at Zheng Wei with round eyes, "I know, is it that Brother is worried about Uncle Nineteen." ”
This time, Zheng Wei only hummed, stepped on the horse's back, pulled off the stiff rope, and ran away.
Probably when he went back, he knew the destination and the distance, and he was not at a loss than when he came, so Zheng Sui felt that going back seemed to be much faster than when he came.
It's just that it's too late to come out of the Zhuangzi.
By the time they arrived at the camp, all the staff guests, scholars, as well as the heads of the two families of Guo Feng and the branches of the Zheng family, had already gathered in the tent of the Eighteen Lang Jun, and the discussion meeting was already in full swing.
After Zheng Wei dismounted, he did not rush to the tent of Eighteen Langjun, but sent Zheng Sui back first. Then go back to your tent to freshen up and change your clothes. I didn't sleep all night, and I rode my horse all morning. Although he is young, his spirit can still hold on, but the tiredness on his face cannot be hidden.
"Xiao Lang's face is really ugly, why don't you let the maid smear a layer of powder on Xiao Lang. Ziyan tried to persuade him, because Zheng Wei's skin was white and moisturized, so there was rarely time to rub powder, and Zheng Wei didn't like to apply grease and powder.
"No need. Zheng Wei shook his head busily. Straighten his arm and let Ziyun put on a plain robe for him, at this moment, the three of them asked to see him outside the tent, Zheng Wei shouted and came in, a little maid guarding the door opened the curtain, and the three bowed down and walked in.
I only heard Zheng Wei ask, "How is it over there now?"
"The dispute is quite serious, mainly because more than a dozen lieutenants have quarreled with Feng Guo and a few staff members from the side branches, and the small ones have been out for a while. It was Lord Wen who asked the little one to come out and wait for Xiaolang. ”
Zheng Wei snorted and motioned for Sandu to continue.
"Lord Wen Bo asked Xiao to tell Xiao Lang that if Xiao Lang didn't want to change the route, he would still go to Jiankang according to the original route. This time, don't go to the tent of Eighteen Lang Jun for the time being, Xiao Lang didn't go over this morning, and Lord Wen Bo only said to Eighteen Lang Jun and everyone. Xiao Lang took Captain Hou out to inspect the terrain ahead. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Wei's face froze. He flicked his long sleeves with both hands and knelt down on the low table. "What the hell is going on?"
"Lord Wen didn't expect that Eighteen Langjun also agreed to take the shortcut from Xuchang to Nanliang County. ”
"In that case, only the eighteen lieutenants with the 30,000 troops agreed to go south according to the original route. ”
The three did not deny it, "It can be said that now both sides have their own opinions, and the heads of each family think that there are women and children to take care of, and if you take the mountain road, the road will not only be bumpy and bumpy, but it will take a long time, and they hope to take a shortcut, and the captains all think that safety should be the first thing, and now they are waiting for Xiaolang to decide." ”
Somehow, suddenly, Zheng Wei only felt a sudden anger rise in his heart, and angrily reprimanded, "What is the verdict, what is there to decide." ”
Frightened, Ziyan's hand holding the water basin almost slipped, and Ziyun, who tied Zheng Wei's belt, was so frightened that his hand was heavy, and he accidentally tied a dead knot, and the three of them lowered their heads, and the room fell silent and silent.
Zheng Wei held his forehead with his hand for a long time, calming the anger in his heart before ordering: "Sandu, you go, just talk to all the people in the tent, just say that I am sick, the team will be suspended for a day, and everyone will rest for a day." ”
"When the time comes, I'm afraid that those families will come to see Xiaolang. Sandu said this with a little caution.
Zheng Wei snorted coldly, "Let them come, I'm very tired now, how can I have so much energy to deal with them." So saying, he reached out to untie his belt.
"Let the servant come. Ziyun hurriedly stepped forward.
I heard Zheng Wei instruct again: "I'll sleep first, let Wen Weng guard outside the tent, and call a doctor to come over, tell him well, you go quickly." ”
The three of them hurriedly agreed and withdrew.
I don't know if it's because Ziyun is anxious, or if the dead knot of the belt is tied too tightly.
"Why hasn't it been untied yet," Zheng Wei looked down and saw that it was a dead knot, only to hear Ziyun hurriedly say: "It's okay right away, it'll be good right away." The movements of his subordinates were more urgent, but to no avail, and sweat was already oozing from his foreheads.
Zheng Wei saw it, so he said: "Don't bother with this, go get some scissors and cut them directly." As he spoke, he gently stroked Ziyun's hand.
Because he was extremely tired, Zheng Wei almost fell asleep as soon as he got into bed.
When I woke up again, it was already afternoon, and the sun was already setting in the west.
When Zheng Wei opened his eyes, he saw Zheng Sui lying on the edge of the bed, suddenly sobered up a lot, yawned, and his throat was a little hoarse, "Xixi, why don't you sleep in your tent, what are you doing here?"
"I slept last night, and I made up for it in the morning, and I am no longer sleepy. Zheng Sui said and stood up, "Since Brother is awake, get up and freshen up, eat something first, Ziyun boiled a pot of red date corn porridge." ”
"Okay, I know, you go back to your tent first," Zheng Wei sat up with the quilt, looked at Zheng Sui as if he was smoking a strip, and said secretly: I have to talk to the purple smoke around me, I can't let this girl enter her bedroom again in the future, and I have to talk to Zheng Sui, or I can't stop this girl with just a few purple smoke.
Zheng Sui still didn't know what the fifth brother was thinking, and when he left, he remembered something and said: "Wen Weng asked me to remind my brother that my brother still has a tough battle to fight tonight." He grimaced as he said and ran out of Zheng Wei's tent.
It's just that as soon as Zheng Sui went out, he just took two steps, and Wen Weng who came over stopped him, "Shi Niang, is Wulang awake?" Otherwise, this girl would not have such a happy appearance.
"Yes, I just woke up, if Ah Weng is looking for my brother, I should go in late, my brother is not dressed properly, and it is inconvenient to see guests. Zheng Sui paused.
Wen Weng smiled, "I just want to go to Eighteen Lang Jun first." Saying that, he approached and asked Zheng Sui softly, "Little lady, have you ever mentioned to Gorou that it has been very hard to ride in a carriage recently?"
Zheng Sui hesitated for a moment, first he didn't understand why Wen Weng suddenly asked this, but after a moment, he understood, nodded and said, "I mentioned it." Seeing that Wen Weng's face changed rarely, his eyes were full of eagerness, as if he was about to persuade something, Zheng Sui hurriedly smiled: "But Brother said that after Xiangyang City, it will be much better if you walk slowly on the road." ”
Wen Weng was sure in his heart, and wanted to confirm it again, "Xiao Lang really said this?"
"If Ah Weng doesn't believe it, just go in and ask Brother. ”
"No, I believe the little lady's words. Wen Weng smiled busily, he never worried that Xiao Lang would be short-sighted, but he was afraid that Xiao Lang would be confused for a while for the sake of Shi Niang in front of him, really speaking, those family heads, even including Eighteen Lang Jun, may not know the importance of safety, except for a few who are really short-sighted, most of them are for the sake of their families, and choose to take risks and take shortcuts.
Thinking about it like this, he turned around and went to the tent of Eighteen Lang Jun, and the top priority was to convince Eighteen Lang Jun.
As long as Eighteen Lang Jun is willing to go to the south according to the original route, for Xiao Lang, the rest of the people are not worried.
Let's talk about the compartment over there, as soon as Zheng Sui returned to the tent, he saw Jiu Niang kneeling on the bamboo mat doing needlework, and A Luo sitting next to him, and when he saw her come in, he got up busily, "Sister is back, is Wulang awake?"
Zheng Sui snorted, looked at Jiuniang who raised her head and looked over, and said: "Sister is doing needlework again, didn't I say it, the light in this tent is not good, it hurts my eyes, why does Sister always not listen, and when I get old in the future, my eyes are not good, I should regret it." Since the beginning of the journey, staying with Jiuniang every day, Zheng Sui found that Jiuniang is really unable to use needles, threads are not separated from the body, and the work is even more beautiful, many times better than the embroidery girls at home.
Zheng Qian smiled faintly: "I'm just passing the time, and I'm idle anyway." ”
Zheng Sui pursed his lips and smiled, and pulled Ah Luo on the side and said jokingly: "Fortunately, Ah Luo and I don't like to take needles and threads, if we are really like the ninth sister, the embroidery girl in our embroidery workshop will not work." ”
Zheng Qian only smiled, didn't answer, and only put away the work in his hand.
Ah Luo asked Zheng Suilai, "Sister, does Brother want to go to Xiangyang City or Nanliang County?"
"Then where does Ah Luo want to go?" Zheng Sui asked rhetorically, but muttered in his heart, it seems that because of the quarrel in the tent of the eighteenth in the morning, the news has already spread.
I saw Ah Luo shake his head, "Ah Luo doesn't know where it's good." After speaking, he looked up at Zheng Sui again, "But many people outside said that it was better to go to the east." ”
When Zheng Sui heard this, he was suspicious, along the way, few female dependents recruited Ah Luo to come over to speak, and every time Ah Luo went out to meet guests, they followed her.
Fortunately, Zheng Suihu didn't hesitate for long, and Zheng Qian on the side explained her confusion, "Not long after you left in the morning, Aunt Eighteen came over, and the sister-in-law Hao from the Changfang also came, but seeing that you were not there, I sat and chatted with the two of us for a while, complained, and left. ”
When Zheng Sui heard this, he sighed softly, no wonder Wen Weng said that Brother has a tough battle to fight tonight, and now the wind is blowing to her, it seems to be true. (To be continued......)
