A few steps through the courtyard to the door of the house, which was closed. Zuo Mengeng looked up at the dilapidated cornice, very bored. Fortunately, when I thought of the beauty, the turbidity of the stuffy chest was dissipated a little. Fang wanted to push the door, and there was a light and pleasant laughter inside, Zuo Mengeng's heart was sweet, but then he heard a rough voice, and he was stunned.

"What's going on?" Zuo Menggeng's face was not good, and he asked the servant who guarded the door in a low voice.

"I heard that the family of the fourth lady came to visit."

"Oh?" Zuo Mengeng thought about it, Rao Liubo's parents died early, and recognized Zhao Dangshi as his brother-in-law, since he was her mother's family, nine times out of ten Zhao Dangshi sent someone here. Thinking of this, he stopped outside the door to tidy up his clothes for a moment before entering the house.

When he arrived inside, Rao Liubo was sitting and chatting with a middle-aged man dressed as Wu Ben, and when he saw Zuo Mengeng coming, the two got up together to greet each other. Rao Liubo smiled and helped Zuo Mengeng sit down, stood by his side and waited, and said: "This is the self-absorbed person who came from the side of the slave family's righteous brother, and the slave family calls him Brother Hei." ”

Zuo Mengeng looked at the man and thought that it was dark enough, and the man introduced himself: "The villain Hei Bangjun, doing things for Zhao Shaobao in Yunxiang Town, has seen the son." He had already matched Rao Liubo in front of his head, and they were both extremely shrewd, at this time, in Zuo Menggeng's opinion, the two of them were indeed like old people who had known each other for many years, and they were all moving smoothly.

"I wonder how my father-in-law is doing?" Zuo Mengeng sat down and asked.

"On the orders of the lord, I will report to my son that everything is fine with my lord, and in addition, he has been married on the tenth day of the first month of last month."

"Married? And with whom? Zuo Mengeng asked in surprise.

Hei Bangjun said with a smile: "I have formed a good relationship with the Huaqing County Lord of the Rui Domain. Saying that, he handed a vermilion invitation to Zuo Mengeng, "This is an invitation, it was originally sent to Xuzhou last month, but it was ......."

"Reasonable." Zuo Mengeng sighed. In mid-October, he moved from Xuzhou to Xinyang Prefecture under Zuo Liangyu's arrangement, accompanied by other family members in Zuofu. Now those who remain in Xuzhou are only a few soldiers and horses of the Zuojia Army. I heard that from October to this month, Liu Guoneng, Xu Guodong, and other generals of the Zuojia Army who stayed in Xuzhou, Yexian, Xiangcheng County, and other places had launched several offensive and defensive battles with the Chuang army.

"I don't want my father-in-law to be a family member like the county lord." Zuo Mengeng accepted the invitation and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't congratulate or prepare a congratulatory gift on the spot." When the thieves subside in the coming day, they will definitely come to the door to apologize. ”

Hei Bangjun said: "The son is serious, there are difficulties, and my lord can save it." There has been no news of the son and the fourth lady for months, and I am anxious. A few days ago, I got a letter from the fourth lady telling the truth, and immediately asked the villain to come to visit. Then he said, "And some of the thoughts of my lord are on this list." There are for the fourth lady, and there are also for the son and Zuo Shuai. ”

Zuo Mengeng took another slip of paper, on which a lot of gold and silver treasures were written, he was overjoyed, and pretended to be embarrassed: "My father-in-law is newly married Yan'er, but he let him break the bank, so he can't go away, and he will definitely repay him if he has the opportunity." ”

Hei Bangjun smiled and said: "My own family, what Childe said is outside." My father-in-law often talks about his son and the fourth lady, and he just looks forward to the opportunity to meet you two and talk about his heart. ”

"What should be done, what should be ......" Zuo Mengeng said busily, his eyes looking at Rao Liubo, "My father-in-law is as kind as a mountain, and I also remember it." When things are settled, I should visit my father-in-law. ”

Rao Liubo suddenly pouted at this time, and said delicately: "Things are flat here, things are flat here...... It's been more than half a month since you've said this, but when is this day the beginning? ”

Zuo Mengeng hurriedly said: "It's fast, it's fast!" Afraid that she would be angry, he stood up and grabbed her as soon as he lifted his buttocks.

Rao Liubo struggled in his arms, tears oozed from the corners of his eyes, and he choked up: "I live in this house, I slept a few days ago, and the cold wind came in through the cracks, blowing me cold. My feet are like those taken out of an ice cave day after day, frozen and uncomfortable, but you have never squeaked. Yesterday night in the middle of the rain shower, and even more rain fell from among the tiles to the head of the bed, and hit me in the face, I wondered if I told you that I would not be at ease, and I wanted to endure it until one day I died in this house and bed than to suffer like this for a long time! ”

"Oh, what are you talking about!" Zuo Mengeng is really a position above 10,000 people under one person in Zuo Fu, and no one dares to disobey him in Pingsuri, whether it is the family in the house or the military attache of the Zuo family outside the house. Only Rao Liubo is pampered and arrogant, coquettish and stupid without scruples, but it also happens to be his appetite, never reprimanded, but cautious everywhere, lest Fang feel uncomfortable.

"You don't have me in your heart anymore, and you don't have to come to visit me in the future, if you feel annoyed by me, you can sweep me out of the house with two strong servants, so that I can live a better life of eating and drinking!" Rao Liubo said as he spoke, tears rolling down.

Zuo Mengeng was shocked, and secretly sighed that the woman's face was like a change in June, and hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said while coaxing: "There are still outsiders, what can't be said at night." ”

Hei Bangjun couldn't sit still, got up and persuaded: "If the villain causes trouble to the son and wife here, the villain will retire." ”

Zuo Mengeng comforted Rao Liubo with one hand, and pressed Hei Bangjun back to his seat with the other and said: "It's just a family matter, but it's okay for Brother Hei to sit." ”

Rao Liubo cried sadly: "It's not a family matter, it's the life of a slave." He turned to Hei Bangjun and said, "Brother Hei, you pity the slave family, why don't you take the slave family back before leaving." It's better to be a mother-in-law sweeping and sprinkling water in Zhao Ying's camp than to suffer here! ”

Zuo Mengeng was anxious in his heart, regarded Hei Bangjun as nothing, directly hugged Rao Liubo tightly, and asked softly: "Living here is my father's arrangement, and I can't change it." But I promise you, when I go back to Xuzhou, I will buy you whatever you want. Didn't you fancy the third lady's ginkgo gold lacquer square table and the eldest lady's Nanjing gold lacquer stepping bed, I will help you buy new ones. ”

I don't know that Rao Liubo didn't appreciate it, and pushed him away and said: "I don't want these, you 'wait to go back' one by one, then I ask you, when can I go back?" ”

"I ......" Zuo Menggeng said to his lips, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Hei Bangjun who was drinking tea by himself, and pulled Rao Liubo to turn his back, "This matter is related to my father's follow-up deployment of troops and horses, how can I say it nonsense here." ”

Rao Liubo said with tears in his eyes: "Can't you say that to me?" You just watch my heart ache and pain? ”

"What's this?" Zuo Mengeng was not frustrated, but he felt that he had said a big circle and went back to the same place.

Rao Liubo saw that his eyes couldn't help but drift towards Hei Bangjun, and sneered: "Oh, it turns out that there are still scruples." The mouthful of a 'righteous father' in front of the person was so sweet, and as soon as he turned around and patted his buttocks, he saw that he couldn't do it. Zuo Gongzi, you are really the same husband on the outside! ”

Zuo Mengeng pays the most attention to his own image, or he values his own image in Rao Liubo's eyes the most, and this time he ridiculed Rao Liubo, and his face immediately turned red. But seeing Rao Liubo tearfully shaking his head: "My brother-in-law only gave you a generous gift, and he fought side by side with the eldest master outside, treating each other so sincerely, and you still beware of him with such thoughts, which is really chilling." ”

"What's the point of beware!" Zuo Mengeng was stimulated by this, if he was a stranger, he would have lost his temper with punches and kicks, but in the face of the cowardly Rao Liubo, thinking of her various benefits in the past, the anger that should have been there was stunned and didn't know where to go, "This is not about military politics, you can't understand it when I tell you!" ”

Rao Liubo sneered: "You know that I don't understand, and I still have twelve points of worry, and I refuse to confide half a word when I am killed, and I really don't believe me at all." You don't know, no matter what you say, as long as I listen to something that seems to be a serious opponent, the worries in my heart will naturally disappear, how can I care about anything! ”

At this point, Zuo Mengeng was like an ant on a hot pot, half anxious and restless, where was there anything to think about, so he lowered his voice and said: "Okay, I'll tell you, but you are not allowed to reveal it." ”

"Look at you, come ...... again" Rao Liubo flattened his mouth and looked at him angrily, "Don't say it if you don't believe me......"

This appearance aroused Zuo Mengeng's pity even more, and he covered his mouth and said to her: "A few days ago, I went to participate in my father's military conference. You know, my military dad usually doesn't ask me to participate, except in the most important circumstances. He tilted his head slightly, and used his afterglow to confirm that Hei Bangjun didn't pay attention, and then continued, "Henan is rampant with thieves, and the area around Xuzhou is full of thieves, and my father left Zhou Fengwu, Liu Guoneng, Xu Guodong and others to guard in that area, but it is estimated that ...... I guess I can't hold it......"

Rao Liubo gasped and said, "I can't hold it, that Xuzhou ......"

"For the gains and losses of the generals who are not as good as one city and one pool, my father is a veteran general on the battlefield, he understands his meaning, and he took us to Xinyang Prefecture in advance, and he is also ready to throw Xuzhou as an outcast." Speaking of the military, Zuo Mengeng's expression immediately became a lot more serious, "The military council has issued several military orders in a row, including Gao Jinku, Xu Yong, Lu Guangzu and other soldiers and horses scattered on the periphery, all of whom will shrink into Xinyang Prefecture before the year. ”

"What does he want to do, sir?" Rao Liubo bit his lip and showed a panicked look, "This is too abnormal......"

Zuo Mengeng said solemnly: "Yes, what is the road ahead for you and me, it is on the next step." ”

"What's next?" Rao Liubo was like a frightened rabbit, and suddenly rushed into Zuo Mengeng's arms and hugged him tightly.

Zuo Mengeng was a little high-spirited, and replied to her: "Fight with the thief." ”

"Huh?" Rao Liubo raised his head and his eyes widened.

Zuo Mengeng patted her shoulder and said: "Don't worry, this battle will not be fought before the year, I heard my father say, when the winter snow melts and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life gather together, they will work together to wipe out the thieves in one fell swoop!" He added, and seemed to be confident, "So if you ask me when I can go back to Xuzhou, I think that when I expel the thieves next year, I will definitely be able to go back to catch up with the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Rao Liubo lowered his head and muttered, and muttered in a low voice: "But what if you ...... What if you can't beat the thief? Zuo Mengeng's "Qingming Festival next year" is true, but it is only based on the victory of the official army and the defeat of the army.

Zuo Mengeng shook his head again and again when he heard this: "How can you not beat him, what a heroic figure he is, and then meet with countless officials and troops in Shaanxi, Henan and other places, and strike with all his might, how can there be any reason to allow thieves to be presumptuous?" ”

"The slave family knows that the eldest master and Zuo Lang are invincible, isn't this just thinking about what if, is it that in front of you, the slave family is not allowed to even guess a little?" Rao Liubo got her wish and behaved obediently, which is her most usual trick.

Zuo Mengeng really liked this, and said with a smile: "There is no matter, Mrs. can say whatever she wants." But he still frowned, "However, what should happen if you say it, Dad really didn't say it explicitly." All the generals are here, and the blood is excited, so I can't say those uninteresting words at that time, right? ”

"Uh-huh." Rao Liubo nodded his head, "The slave family believes that Zuo Lang can defeat the thief. At the moment, his eyes were like silk, his body was warm, and he whispered to Zuo Mengeng, and he wanted to make love in front of Hei Bangjun without avoiding suspicion.

It was Hei Bangjun who jumped up by himself, arched his hand and said: "The villain has passed the word for the lord, there is nothing else to do, the son and the lady are busy first, and the villain will retire!" ”

Zuo Mengeng was so anxious, how could he control him, he sent him away with a stack of sounds, picked up Rao Liubo horizontally and walked outside the house. Before Hei Bangjun walked out of the courtyard gate, there was a sky-shattering lewd noise from behind him, and he couldn't help but turn his head. The servant standing outside the door seemed to be surprised by this situation, and smiled at him.

Hei Bangjun immediately walked out of the far door, exhaled a long breath, and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
