Chapter 139: Peer
"By the way, my lord, what did my father-in-law say to his old man's last words? You haven't told the slave until now. ”
Seeing that Huaxing nodded frequently, but he didn't say anything for a long time, Diao Chan couldn't help but ask again.
"Huh? Sorry, sorry, I forgot. Scratching his head apologetically, he saw Hua Xing reminiscing and preaching:
Before Ling Zun died, he said two things. The first thing I have already done for him is to 'kill the thief'. ”
Hearing the words "kill Lu thief", Diao Chan was not surprised at all.
That is the greatest wish of my father-in-law's life, and if it is not mentioned in his last words, it is not normal.
"The little girl thanked the general for her father-in-law! And what about the second thing? ”
"Second thing......
Speaking of this, I saw that Hua Xing's face showed a little embarrassment in an extremely rare way, and while bowing his head, he scratched his nose while clearing his throat and said:
"Ahem, he, he...... I entrusted you to me. ”
As soon as these words came out, Diao Chan's first reaction was first moved.
Before his father-in-law died, he was still thinking about her daughter-in-law, which really touched her very much. In the blink of an eye, two lines of hot tears fell to the ground.
After being moved, a touch of shyness was born from the bottom of my heart.
It is self-evident what the word "entrusted" means.
Even if it's not a marriage, it's a lifetime of care.
Therefore, after hearing this, Diao Chan instantly became nervous, and his flushed face secretly fell.
Of course, Huaxing also knows that it is time for him to take a stand.
At the beginning, although Wang Yun swallowed his breath without waiting for Huaxing's consent.
But whether it was killing Lu Thief or taking care of Diao Chan, Hua Xing actually silently agreed to the other party in his heart.
In addition, he also asked just now, and today's Diao Chan is considered "homeless". Therefore, it is reasonable for him to fulfill his promise.
So, after a few voices, I heard Huaxing finally ask:
"If the girl doesn't have a plan for the next step, then why don't you go to the village with you first? If anything, you can also take care of each other. ”
As soon as these words came out, Diao Chan's chest was like a deer crashing, surprised, happy and shy.
After waiting for about four or five seconds, I saw her lower her head and whispered back:
"Slave maid...... I would like to listen to the general's arrangement. ”
……
Due to the addition of Diao Chan, Huaxing's team had another carriage, and they drove to the east one after the other.
What is surprising is that the "convoy" had only been walking for more than 10 minutes before it was stopped again.
Huaxing got out of the car and saw a young man riding on a horse in the middle of the road. Dressed in a silver helmet and holding a crescent halberd, he seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Huaxing get out of the car, this person quickly urged the horse to approach, jumped and fell to the ground, and said with a little displeasure:
"Master, are you too unkind to say goodbye like this?"
This person is none other than Zhang Liao, the apprentice accepted by Huaxing in Wang Ji Noodle Restaurant.
"Y-Why are you here?" Hua Xing said in surprise.
"Humph! I met General Gao last night, and he told me that you would leave today. I thought that the master would come to say goodbye to me anyway, but I didn't expect you to leave so secretly! It's really ruthless and unjust. If you don't make it clear to me today, you won't want to leave Hongnong City! ”
When Zhang Liao said this, his face was extremely serious, and his tone was quite cold, obviously he was really angry, not acting.
"Alas!"
After a helpless sigh, I saw Hua Xing say with guilt on his face:
"I admit that this matter is something that Hua did wrong, and it is really unkind to say goodbye without saying goodbye. But I don't know if General Zhang has ever thought about why Hua didn't go to see you? ”
Huaxing didn't want to talk about these things. But now that Zhang Liao's people are here, they are still in the middle of the road, obviously not planning to let himself go.
In order to "pass" normally, Huaxing could only express his hardships.
"Humph!" Zhang Liao flicked his sleeves and said angrily:
"Ruthless and unrighteous people, I Zhang Wenyuan don't bother to figure it out."
"Okay! If you're too lazy to think about it, I'll tell you. ”
In order not to block the passage of others, Hua Xing first pulled Zhang Liao to the side of the road, and then said slowly:
"Actually, I went to the general's door last night. But after much thought, I still didn't knock on the door. ”
As soon as he heard that Huaxing had actually come, Zhang Liao immediately looked puzzled: "Why?" ”
"First, General Zhang is the backbone of the Lu army, and when he learns that he is leaving, he will definitely dissuade him like General Gao. But after making up his mind, it is impossible to stay in the army. At that time, the scene is bound to be ugly, and you and I will be upset because of it, so I didn't enter. ”
Although Zhang Liao was angry in his heart, when he thought about it calmly, he also knew that what Huaxing said was true.
Not to mention the meeting last night, even now, Zhang Liao has a lot of dissuasive words in his heart that he wants to say to the other party. So Huaxing's concerns do exist.
"That's right! I will persuade the master to stay, but I, Zhang Wenyuan, am not an unreasonable person, as long as the master tells me the reason, can I still tie you up? ”
"Alas! That's the second reason to say goodbye. ”
After a sigh, I listened to Hua Xing continue to preach:
"I told General Gao that I left the Lu army because I had no intention of serving as an official and wanted to return to the field. But in fact, that's just a high-sounding statement. There are other reasons why I'm leaving. However, for some special reasons, I am unable to inform you. So...... Alas! It's better to leave, and there will be no more excuses to prevaricate the general. ”
thought that after hearing his explanation, Zhang Liao, as a "problem general", would definitely hold on to the real cause.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhang Liao was surprisingly quiet.
Not only did he not ask a question, but he didn't even say a word.
Just looked at Hua Xing quietly, and when he saw it, more than ten seconds had passed, and Hua Xing was covered with goosebumps, frowning and asking:
"General Zhang, what are you doing here? If you have anything to say, please speak up! ”
"Hmph, then I'll just say it!"
After a light snort, I saw Zhang Liao looking at Hua Xing with a smile and said:
"Actually, I've already guessed the reason for your departure. You tell me the truth, did you go to the Lu Mansion to kill General Lu in the first place? ”
As soon as these words came out, Huaxing was stunned on the spot, and his heart tightened, not understanding how the other party knew about it.
But Huaxing will definitely not admit it easily, and after looking at each other for four or five seconds, he saw him chuckling and said:
"General Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? The murderer of General Lu, everyone has seen it, it is the assassin who pretended to be a guard, how could it be me? ”
"That's right! The final blow was not from you. Nodding, he listened to Zhang Liao's voice and said:
"But before that, do you dare to say that you have never dealt with General Lu?"
