Chapter 019: The Overlord Lifts the Crown
At night in a modern city, it shines brightly and shines like a colorful river flowing.
And each of us is a small fish in this river.
"Brother, is that your girlfriend in the back?" a man sitting in the front row pointed to the back.
When I looked back, Cheng Xiaoman was following the car and waving his hand to catch up, as if he was shouting loudly, and he couldn't hear it on the noisy road.
"Brother, I'm from here, it's normal for the young couple to quarrel, you let a girl ......" Ignoring the man's chatter, I pulled the window glass and jumped down. Then came the man's shout: "Brother, you are more stable than me!"
Cheng Xiaoman chased the car for more than ten zhang away, holding his lower abdomen with both hands, panting as the green car disappeared into the end of the road. Looking at her anxious expression, I guessed she was chasing me.
I was on the other side of the road, standing with one hand on my back, and shouted, "Miss Cheng, what else is the matter?"
Cheng Xiaoman looked for prestige, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a very warm smile. Even the curvature of the corners of the mouth is so perfect.
Cheng Xiaoman walked briskly across the road and stood in front of me. The yellow light sprinkled on her face, in fact, with a little dress-up, this can also be a beautiful woman.
Cheng Xiaoman's thin lips opened lightly, and he smiled unabashedly: "Why are you back?"
"I saw the girl chasing after me, and I was afraid that something important was going to happen, so I jumped out of the car. I replied truthfully.
"I ...... A little worried about you. After saying this, Cheng Xiaoman felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words, "I mean you are stupid." β
I pointed to myself in confusion: "Below?"
"Isn't it you, who else? Wearing this dress, the crepe looks like I've crossed over. Cheng Xiaoman reached out and grabbed my sleeve and said, pretending to have a disgusted expression.
I looked at my clothes, and they were a little tattered. However, the word "crossing" is indeed more appropriate. This reminds me of Sima Hui's admonition, "No one knows where you go, and no one knows." When the work is natural, don't force everything. All laws are natural, and everything is in the hearts of people. β
"What's wrong, unhappy?" Cheng Xiaoman saw that I was stunned, didn't answer for a long time, and asked cautiously and softly.
My thoughts were interrupted by Cheng Xiaoman's questioning, and I looked at the woman in front of me carefully. Bright eyes and bright teeth, Tingting curling, never heavy makeup, but beautiful and graceful. The encounter on the mountain is enough to show that this is a woman who can be trusted.
I arched my hands with a serious expression, bowed deeply, and said word by word: "People in Peiguo County, Xiaben, if you want to save people close to you, you have to be guided by a master, and you have come here since the big man." But I don't want to run into walls everywhere, and I hope to get the girl's help. It will succeed day by day, and it will be rewarded with life and death. β
Cheng Xiaoman looked at me in surprise and asked, "Let me ask you, did you run out of Huoshan Mental Hospital?"
I saw that her expression also became serious, and after a little thought, I replied, "Yes, but I am not a mentally abnormal person. β
Cheng Xiaoman's expression was cloudy, as if he was a little hesitant, and after a while, he asked again: "What do you mean...... You traveled from the Han Dynasty. β
I bowed my head and said, "Exactly." β
"Are you really here through time?" Seeing me nodding, Cheng Xiaoman still asked repeatedly.
I knew she couldn't accept it, so I nodded again.
Cheng Xiaoman pushed down his glasses, looked me up and down, left and right, as if he had made a lot of determination, and asked, "Then do you have a place to go?"
I shook my head.
Cheng Xiaoman suddenly smiled and said very boldly: "Then you can go back with me first." As he spoke, he pulled up my sleeves. I am naturally happy in my heart, this strange world, if there is no one to help, whether I can survive first may be a problem.
"But you sleep on the sofa, I recognize the bed, otherwise I won't be able to sleep. β
"Everything is up to the girl. β
"You're really not stupid?"
"This ...... Why?"
"It's nothing, just ask. β
Cheng Xiaoman led me, and there were questions and answers along the way. I felt that she hadn't believed me yet, that I had crossed over from the Han Dynasty. Actually, if it weren't for the immersive scene, I wouldn't have believed it.
After walking for a while, I came to a courtyard house. Through the dim street lamps, the whole picture of the house can be vaguely seen. The dark door of the house, the shiny door cymbals. When I entered the courtyard, I saw a two-eared and three-legged large standing in the center of the courtyard. The ground is inlaid with small pieces of strip-shaped green bricks, which imitates quite a charm.
"This is the house I rented, the house of an old professor in the school. I stayed in this one and the other rooms were occupied. We just don't get too noisy. Cheng Xiaoman introduced while leading me to a room located on the north side of the courtyard.
Cheng Xiaoman took out the key from his satchel to open the door, and turned on the light in the room by the wall. He tilted his head and smiled at me, "Come in." β
I walked into the house with Cheng Xiaoman, the room was not very big, but it was stuffed with all kinds of things, most of which I couldn't register, and the whole was quite tidy.
"Well, sit down! It's a bit messy, I'm usually busy with classes and part-time jobs, and I don't have time to clean up. Cheng Xiaoman smiled wryly, "Do you want to eat something?" There is bread and noodles in the refrigerator. β
"No, thank you. I said with a smile. Then look around and observe something you've never seen before.
Cheng Xiaoman collapsed on the seat, closed his eyes and twisted his neck and said, "I'm tired for a day!"
I looked at the many books on the shelves and said, "It turns out that Miss Cheng is also a person who loves to learn. β
Cheng Xiaoman squinted his eyes and looked me up and down, thoughtfully, and then a slight smile fell from the corner of his mouth, a little treacherous. Cheng Xiaoman learned my tone and said: "The ancients said: 'A woman is virtuous if she is not talented', what do you think?"
"That makes sense. I didn't look at her, I replied casually, and by the way, I flipped through the books, and found that I could only roughly recognize a few words, and I didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
"Why is it reasonable, why is it reasonable, why can't a woman be talented?" There was a thick anger in her tone, and I knew at a glance that she was pretending.
I smiled and explained to her, "Definitely." The meaning of the ancients is to be talented and not too pretentious. And not as the girl said, no talent or no talent. β
Cheng Xiaoman was silent, but from her eyes, it could be seen that she didn't think I could answer, although I didn't know how difficult the meaning of this sentence was.
I continued to look at these books in modern characters, and Cheng Xiaoman asked again: "How did you organize your ancient army?"
"There are eight schools in the army, including the middle base, the tun cavalry, the infantry, the Yue cavalry, the Changshui, the Hu cavalry, the shooting sound, and the tiger ben, and the number of soldiers in each school varies. The minimum is seven or eight hundred, and the maximum is one thousand two hundred. The commander and the first colonel are called captains, and the generals and generals are in order...... "I have been in the barracks for so long, and if you ask me this, it is naturally easy for me to come." After the text, I turned my head to look at Cheng Xiaoman and asked, "Is Miss Cheng in the school examination?"
"It's not~ I'm most interested in history, let's communicate, what you said is very helpful to my work. Cheng Xiaoman said seriously, but his expression was extremely exaggerated, what did he do if he didn't test me?
"Oh......" I saw through but didn't say it, I nodded and continued, "Military attachΓ©s are divided into nine grades and eighteen grades......
1,700 years later, I think they don't necessarily understand what I'm talking about. Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the dynasties changed, and history was often written by those in power.
"Stop!" I was about to speak, but Cheng Xiaoman interrupted with a loud shout, and at the same time asked expectantly, "Weakly ask, do you know martial arts?" After speaking, he gestured with his hand a few times.
"Naturally. I replied softly.
Cheng Xiaoman's expression changed suddenly, and he pointed at me with his index finger with a wicked smile and said, "Monks don't talk nonsense~"
I said unhurriedly: "In troubled times, it is not surprising that you have a skill. The general's inability to do martial arts is a miracle. β
Cheng Xiaoman jumped up from the seat, and immediately became full of strength, dragging me to go out of the house, and specially warned me: "Don't try to fool me casually, I often watch martial arts movies." β
When I walked into the courtyard, I looked around and felt that something was wrong. Since the incident in the mental hospital, I have found that no one here knows martial arts. So he asked with some concern: "Right here, if you disturb others, it seems inappropriate, right?"
What I didn't expect was that my worries became a delaying tactic in Cheng Xiaoman's eyes. Cheng Xiaoman heard this, and said with a big grin: "Cut! Do you think you will hit a dragon descending eighteen palms when you go out with one move!"
Eighteen palms of the dragon?
I looked down and thought about it, thinking that if I couldn't convince the girl in front of me, I was afraid that it would hinder my future actions.
I looked around, and finally my eyes fell on the bronze tripod in the center of the courtyard, and said: "This three-legged and two-eared bronze tripod must weigh seven or eight hundred catties. If you can lift ...... below"
I haven't finished the rest of the sentence, and she must have understood it. Cheng Xiaoman put on a dead fish-eyed expression, deliberately thickened his voice and said in a strange voice: "Can we come to something realistic?"
I ignored her and walked straight into the courtyard. I circled around the bronze tripod, pressed my shoulders against the tripod, and squeezed it hard.
"Empty knock-" There was a sound.
It's heavy, like a thousand pounds. I circled around the bronze tripod for half a circle, squeezing as before.
"Empty knockβ" There was another sound.
I held the ears of the tripod with both hands, and with a hard lunge, the giant tripod leaned towards me, crumbling. Repeat this three times, and I think it's about the same.
Looking up at Cheng Xiaoman again, she was stunned at this time, and she was at a loss to look at me. If surprise can be measured by eggs, she can stuff two in her mouth. Now that the effect has been achieved, let's get started.
I squatted down, clasped the edge of the ding with one hand, and held one of the feet with the other, my eyebrows locked, I took a deep breath and let out a low roar.
"From~"
But I saw that the huge bronze dome slowly left the ground.
