Qin Qixun has three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Qin Jinxiao, the second son died early, the second son is still young, and now he is sitting by the bonfire with Zhao Dangshi is his only daughter, Qin Shilu.

Qin Shi Lu, known as Shi Nanzhong Road, is more than ten years younger than his eldest brother, and he is only sixteen this year. But she has been studying since she was a child, and she also cultivates martial arts, so she looks a little more wise and steady than girls of the same age. It was only in front of Zhao Dangshi, who was older than her and well versed in the world, that she completely became a little girl who only knew how to play tricks.

Zhao Dangshi is handsome, tall, and has been fighting horses for many years, and his eyebrows are even more resolute and resolute. The appearance is not bad, coupled with the witty language, after a while, Qin Shilu has become much closer to him. After asking the name, Qin Shilu had a lot less scruples, and after Zhao Dangshi asked her why she dressed as a man, followed the crowd, etc., she honestly told the whole story and the whole story.

It turned out that she was an extrovert by nature, but her mother was in charge of her, and she went out a little, and after a long time, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she sneaked out. The first few times were very smooth, but unexpectedly, once she was exposed, she was arrested, and her mother was furious and locked her up for nearly a month. A few days ago, she was released, and by chance she heard her father talking to her brother, and she seemed to value a character quite a lot. In her impression for more than ten years, her father and brother are dominant, rarely praising others, and the surname Zhao in the words aroused her curiosity. In addition, she was bored for a month, and her heart was itching, so she repeated her old tricks, taking advantage of people's inattention, and followed her father and brother.

I thought that they were only active in the area of Chunglu, but they followed all the way to the ground in Chungju. On the way, she had the idea of retreating several times, but she was defeated by nature. When he arrived at Juyun Temple, his whereabouts were discovered by his eldest brother Qin Jinxiao. Qin Jinxiao took pity on her and let her into the temple without telling her father. She was able to witness Zhao Dangshi's true face.

But all young girls will be fascinated by heroes. Qin Shilu is long in Jiangmen, and he is familiar with the soldiers of the army, and this idea is even stronger. The seer saw that Zhao Dangshi was heroic and extraordinary, and he had a three-point agreement, and then saw that he entered the temple alone, fought giants with wisdom, and was polite to his father and brother, and liked it even more.

and the two sides said goodbye, she was so happy that she left her father and brother and chased Zhao Dangshi alone. Although I want to see it, I am shy; Although he was shy, he didn't want to leave. I chased after it for a while, seeing that it was getting farther and farther away from Zhongzhou, I thought of going back to Panlongxi, but Zhou Wenhe suddenly became troubled and had to flee wildly. The rest is needless to say.

Of course, she still tried her best to hide her careful thoughts, Zhao Dangshi knew it, and she didn't break it, just smiled and listened to her. In the end, she snorted and said: "I thought you were a big hero, but I turned out to be an unreasonable bully!" ”

Zhao Dangshi smiled bitterly: "I gave you meat, how did you become a bully again?" ”

Qin Shilu tore a piece of wild pheasant meat and chewed it carefully, and said, "You are." It's just that I still have the heart to give me meat, and I still forgive you. ”

She was lightly angry, her cheeks flushed, her lips were as bright as cherries, Zhao Dangshi's chest was hot, and she secretly thought: "With this beautiful woman, this night's delay is also worth it!" Thinking so, he smiled and said, "Thank you then." However, in the past two days since you came out without telling your mother, she must have found out. What do you do? ”

At the mention of "mother", Qin Shilu suddenly became worried, and he didn't eat the meat, and frowned deeply: "I'm afraid that I have already revealed the stuffing on the second day I came out." One more day, one less day, the results are average. After thinking about it, his face softened, "It's better to play outside for a few more days, and it won't be in vain." ”

Zhao Dangshi continued: "You are a little girl, alone outside, not afraid of being bullied by bad people? ”

The corners of Qin Shilu's mouth raised: "You don't have to worry about this." I've run out on my own more than a dozen times, and I've run into bad guys a few times. But they all gave me three punches and two kicks and ran away. In this area, only my father and my eldest brother can beat me. ”

On the bank of Panlong Creek during the day, Zhou Wenhe and the other five people were all elites in Zhao's camp, carefully set up an ambush, and took her by surprise, but they still escaped for her. This martial arts and cleverness can only be possessed by Qin Shilu, who is the daughter of the Zhonglu Qin family. Zhao Dangshi summed up, if he was fighting alone, he might not be able to easily subdue this seemingly delicate girl.

Just thinking about it, she suddenly heard Qin Shilu say quietly: "I didn't expect it to be planted in your hands this time, you are really, you are really ......" and then "really" something, but she hesitated not to say anything, but stared at the flames in a daze.

"I have a place to play. Do you want to go? Zhao Dangshi said suddenly.

"Where?" Qin Shilu raised his head when he heard this, staring directly at Zhao Dangshi, his eyes wandering. The two looked at each other, and Zhao Dangshi actually felt that his behavior was very ugly.

For Zhao Dangshi, the first priority now is always Zhao Ying's interests, not his image or children's affection. It's one thing to talk to Qin Qixun about speculation, it's another thing to ensure that Zhao Ying won't be cheated. It's not that he hasn't seen a person with clear words and deeds, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, if he can catch Qin Qixun's beloved daughter in his hands, he will definitely be able to take the initiative between the two sides.

Qin Shilu wandered outside by himself, and after bringing it into the camp, as long as he strictly controlled the news, Qin Qixun might not be able to guess that his daughter would be in his hands, but would only think that she was afraid of family law and was still wandering outside, so that the relationship between the two parties would not have any negative impact. Once the situation stabilized, Zhao Dangshi would secretly send Qin Shilu home. After all, the other party is just a half-grown girl, and it is not the husband's action to use her as a shield, and it will only be considered at the most critical moment.

Zhao Dangshi made up his mind, and pretended to write lightly: "Do you want to go to Zhao Ying?" ”

"What kind of place is Zhao Ying?" Qin Shilu held his cheeks in his hands and looked at Zhao Dangshi in a daze, "Is it fun?" ”

"It's fun." The corners of Zhao Dangshi's mouth raised, and he began to describe the various benefits in Zhao Ying's camp in a dazzling manner, until his mouth was dry, but he saw that Qin Shilu was not much moved, and he cried bitterly in his heart: "It's bad." This girl was born in Jiangmen, and my Zhao camp is full of armor, horses, and warriors, what is so strange about her? It's a pity that she is a woman, otherwise she would have been able to tempt her with her beauty......"

While he was worried, he racked his brains to search for the precious things in Zhao Ying in his memory, and he had already begun to prepare in his heart, once Qin Shilu refused, he would use a strong one. He had a ghost in his heart, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at each other, just when he met Qin Shilu's gaze, he smiled reluctantly, to hide the ups and downs of his heart. But he saw Qin Shilu turn to look at the flames, and took a wooden stick to stir the ashes on the side of the bonfire and said, "Brother Zhao, if you agree to this, I will go with you." ”

Zhao Dangshi hurriedly said: "You just say." ”

Qin Shilu smiled, threw the wooden stick into the fire, and said, "You promise me that when you arrive at Zhao Ying, you will compete with me on horseback to see if my Ah Zi is powerful or your yellow horse is powerful, how about it?" ”

Looking at her innocent appearance, Zhao Dangshi felt a sense of self-blame for no reason, and he said in his heart: "This little girl is innocent, and it is not appropriate to stir her into this fact, but if she goes, she will change in the future, and she will inevitably have to hate her for the rest of her life." "After thinking about it, I couldn't make a plan for a long time. For a moment, the two were silent, and in the small cave, only the sound of "crackling" grass and trees was heard.

After a long time, after all, business prevailed, Zhao Dangshi was ruthless, and said: "It's up to you, when we arrive at Zhao Ying, let's compare again." But you have to be prepared, don't lose again and cry your nose. ”

Qin Shilu listened to his promise, she was very happy, a little face was like a hibiscus at the beginning, it was heart-shaking to watch, she cleared her throat, learned to be Zhao Dangshi's voice, and said roughly: "You also have to be prepared, otherwise you will want to cry without tears at that time." After speaking, he winked at him playfully.

Zhao Dangshi's heart moved, he bowed his head slightly, just looked at the bonfire, and said insincerely: "That's, that's ......"

In the early morning of the next day, the two stepped on the bonfire, ate some dry food, went out of the cave and rode horses, and went back to Panlong Creek. Zhou Wenhe and the others did not go far, they had been wandering on both sides of the stream, and when they saw Zhao Dangshi, they surrounded them in one go. But seeing that he was talking and laughing with a young girl, his eyes were straight in shock.

They didn't know the origin of Qin Shilu, but the purple and black horse she rode was conspicuous. It turned out that the five self-proclaimed brave men on their side couldn't take it, but it was a little girl. Zhou Wenhed's face was hot, and the other four were embarrassed when they saw the situation.

"Commander, this ......" Zhou Wenhe followed behind Zhao Dangshi unhappily, depressed for nearly ten miles, and finally couldn't help but ask. Obviously, the "little bit" encountered in Panlong Creek yesterday was this girl. But only one night, why did Zhao Dangshi turn enemies into friends with her and become so enthusiastic?

Zhao Dangshi turned his head on the horse, and when he saw his dejected appearance, he was amused in his heart, but said: "Her name is Ah Lu, and she is my friend." Don't look at her young age, but she has the guidance of a famous teacher and a good means, and I am not an opponent. She came to look for me this time, I don't want too many people to know, you must keep a low profile when you return to the camp, and don't mention her. ”

At this time, Qin Shilu took the curtain again, and when he looked from the outside, he couldn't distinguish between men and women. Zhao Dangshi said in a tone that he didn't want to reveal the news of this woman again, but Zhou Wenhe only responded and didn't dare to ask again. I heard him say "I'm not an opponent either", and finally gave myself a step down. The other party is just a girl, and she defeated herself, so it stands to reason that this breath can't be out. But just because he is a woman, if he Zhou Wenhe repeatedly refuses to forgive, he will lose his manhood, which will inevitably cause others to despise. He thought about it again, anyway, only a few people knew about this matter, and he and the four brothers were silent, how could others know about the matter by the Panlong River? Thinking about it like this, I gradually let go.

Zhao Dangshi did not return from the original road, and picked a slightly farther road. The checkpoints on the road were the same as when they came, and they were easily allowed to go, except that they were a little suspicious of Qin Shilu, who was away from the curtain and covered his face. However, Qin Shilu also walked the rivers and lakes many times, and he had his own way to deal with it, and he found a few taels of silver, and sent the sentry card away at will. When the group returned to Zhao Ying, it was the seventh day of the first month.

Zhao Dangshi first sent two people to temporarily send Qin Shilu to the rear division of the middle camp for placement, and then summoned Hou and Xu to meet. Hou Dagui and Xu Hui saw that he was unharmed, and they were relieved and happy. The camp knew that Zhao Dangshi had very few people going out, and they were strict with the wind, so everything in the camp was running as before, and there were no waves. Only yesterday the Liangshan Tu family sent someone to beg for the release of Tu Yuan, and they sent the matter away according to the instructions of Zhao Dangshi before.

Tu Yuan was over the age of Shun and full of strategy, but he couldn't get away in Gantang and was captured by Hou Dagui. He is the backbone of Liangshan County, and killing him is bound to arouse great hatred in Liangshan, which is not cost-effective. It is impossible for a Shuode senior sushi like him to surrender, so he still guards it. Zhao Dangshi was afraid that he would make a mistake and die in the army, so he provided three meals a day, all of which were given with good meals, and he did not wear shackles, and there was a special person to serve. Fortunately, he can think about it, he doesn't do anything excessive, eats, drinks and sleeps as usual every day, and his body is healthy, so there is nothing in his way, but he doesn't say a word all day long, but it is also reasonable.

After Zhao Dangshi returned to the camp, he began to arrange the transfer, and he was busy, and began to gather grain, armor, equipment, etc. to load the car, and since the ninth day of the first month, people and horses from all over the country began to withdraw into Dazhou one after another.

During this period, Zhao Dangshi thought about Qin Shilu and took time out of his busy schedule to visit the rear division of Zhongying. When he arrived at the Housi station, the first thing to greet was not the general king Laixing, but the Ma Zhang family.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for more than half a month, Zhao Dangshi walked closer and greeted: "I haven't seen you for many days, is my wife okay?" ”

"Cheng Zhao Ye is concerned, the slave family is fine, it's just that he is sick...... "She wore a plain Luo skirt today, covered with a tight jacket, outlining a graceful figure. Her cheeks were slightly red in the cold wind, and although she didn't apply rouge, it was more pleasant than rouge.

Zhao Dangshi listened to the contradiction in her words and asked, "Sick?" ”

"Hmm." Ma Zhang's response was light, as if he was a little shy, and his little face unconsciously shrank into the collar of his jacket, "It's a heart disease." ”

Zhao Dangshi was stunned: "What kind of heart disease?" ”

Ma Zhang's face suddenly turned red, and he glanced at Zhao Dangshi with disgust, and muttered timidly: "Zhao Ye obviously knows, and he deliberately asked the slave family, so that he could see the slave family's jokes." ”

Zhao Dangshi smiled bitterly: "I really don't know, if Madame's illness is caused by me, I will not shirk what I can do." ”

"Will you not refuse?" As soon as Ma Zhang raised his eyes, a flash of inspiration flashed in his clear eyes.

"Madame, please."

"Alas, why does Zhao Ye still call me like this......" Ma Zhang first muttered resentfully, and then boldly, stepped forward, and gently leaned on Zhao Dangshi's chest.

"Madame, this is ......" Zhao Dangshi was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw that many soldiers had put down their work, and looked here, "There are many people here, Madame's move is unavoidable, and it is inevitably a little inappropriate." ”

He wanted to say "a little light", but in the end he couldn't say it, and with a force in his hand, he pushed Ma Zhang two steps away.

Ma Zhang's didn't expect him to act like this, he was angry and annoyed, a few crystal tears rolled out in an instant, she sobbed while saying: "You touched your hand and hugged it, but in the end you want to kick me away." I gave up my surname Ma, and I came here with you despite the difficulties, what do you want? Do you really have no affection for me? ”

Zhao Dangshi couldn't see a woman crying in his life, as soon as Ma Zhang's cried, his heart immediately softened, leaned over and said softly: "Don't cry, it's me who is wrong, please forgive me." ”

Ma Zhang cried: "The surname Ma has not been heard from so far, and he has abandoned me." I'm not a lady anymore, I'm afraid that he has already prepared a letter of resignation, as long as I show up, I will draw a clear line, he is this person, he is this person, I know the best......" Later, I could hardly cry.
