Chapter 16: Flickering Zhang Jiao
In the early morning of the next day, the sky at this time had slightly exposed the protein, and the clouds gathered on the edge of the sky, as if soaked in blood, showing a faint red.
At this time, Xu Shuo on the bed opened his hazy eyes.
Where am I? What is this place? Didn't I fall into the river after being poisoned by that little snake? Xu Shuo, who opened his eyes, slowly looked at the things around him, this place doesn't look like a netherworld? There are tables and stools around, it shouldn't be the underworld, I remember that in the last life, I heard that the underworld is not very scary, and I didn't think it was terrible here?
At this time, Zhang Ning walked into the door with a bowl of porridge, saw that Xu Shuo on the bed had woken up, put the porridge in his hand on the table and walked to Xu Shuo's bed in surprise, looked at Xu Shuo who was confused on the bed and said in surprise: Son, you are awake.
Xu Shuo, who was in a daze, saw a woman sitting next to him, and asked casually, "Uh... Are you Lord Hades, why are you a woman? Shouldn't Hades be a man?"
"Childe, what nonsense are you talking about, this is my house, and you are in my bed" Zhang Ning replied playfully.
Then Xu Shuocai woke up from a big dream, knowing that he had been rescued by her, supporting his body with weak hands, and preparing to get up and get out of bed to thank Zhang Ning in front of him.
Zhang Ning saw Xu Shuo propping himself up as if he was about to get out of bed, and immediately held Xu Shuo on the bed, not letting him move more, and advised: "Childe, your disease has not been completely cured, don't move more!" ”
Xu Shuo had no choice but to give up.
Zhang Ning then asked Li'er to let Li'er go to Zhang Jiao to report the good news, saying that the son she saved had woken up.
"Come, Childe, I'll feed you porridge, you haven't eaten for a day and a night." Zhang Ning fed Xu Shuo spoonful by spoon with a small spoon.
Xu Shuo is not a hypocritical person, and said to Zhang Ning: "Miss's life-saving grace, if something happens in the future, Xu Shuo should do his best to repay Miss's kindness"
Zhang Ning didn't care too much, as the saying goes, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, Zhang Ning didn't think that Xu Shuo could repay her any kindness, saying that Xu Shuo really has nothing to repay now, but he can't say for sure in the future.
"Daddy, you're here."
After feeding Xu Shuo, he saw Li'er helping Zhang Jiao into the room, Zhang Ning got up and saluted Zhang Jiao, Zhang Ning saw Zhang Jiao being supported by Li'er, and felt very uncomfortable: "Disturb Daddy's rest, it's Ning'er's fault, or Daddy should go back to rest, there's nothing wrong here, if there is something, the daughter will go to tell Daddy, Li'er, don't help Daddy go back to the room to rest." ”
Zhang Jiao shook his head, looking at Xu Shuo on the bed who had woken up, Zhang Jiao was not at ease and let Li'er help him sit on the stool next to him, and asked Xu Shuo in the bed: "Childe, I look at the dress you wore yesterday like a child of a big family, dare to ask Childe's name?" ”
Xu Shuo saw that the woman who saved him called this person Daddy, and also understood the identity of this person and said, "My lord, I am not everyone's child. ”
"Oh, it's not that everyone's children are dressed so gorgeously, they must be rich and noble, dare to ask what is the name of the son?" Zhang Jiao asked.
The second time he asked, Xu Shuo was no longer in a bad way, and said his name, Zhang Jiao then thought carefully about the big family that really didn't have the surname Xu, so he asked Xu Shuo if he was an official in the court.
Xu Shuo heard that something was wrong, so he vaguely replied that he was not an official, and he was relieved when he heard Zhang Jiao, Xu Shuo saw that the guards in front of the door were wearing yellow scarves, and the woman who rescued him was called Zhang Ning, so he thought that the daughter of Zhang Jiao, who knew in his previous life, was not called Zhang Ning, and he was seeing that this man was sick and sick, and he had to be supported when he walked, it was estimated that it was the unlucky Zhang Jiao, no, Luoyang is so far away from this giant deer, how did I come here? Is it any wonder that I walked around in a few days without knowing the direction, and walked to the Yellow Turban base camp and was rescued by his Zhang Jiao's daughter? So outrageous?
Xu Shuo was stunned in shock.
Seeing that Zhang Jiao was about to turn around and leave, Xu Shuo had a plan, now he has no power, no power, and no reputation, isn't the yellow scarf here just the time for Xu Shuo to earn fame, in case he has a yellow scarf as his hole card, others will not dare to underestimate me in the future, right?
"General Tiangong, please slow down!" Xu Shuo shouted at Zhang Jiao, who was about to turn away.
Zhang Jiao was helped by Li'er and was about to go out of the room when he heard Xu Shuo call out his identity, and was surprised to think of how he knew his identity, so he stopped and turned to Xu Shuo on the bed and said, "Oh, why do you know my identity, I remember that it seems that XX didn't tell you about my identity." ”
Xu Shuo explained for a long time, because he saw the guards wearing yellow scarves on their heads, and he heard that General Tiangong was sick, and he lived here and was heavily guarded, so he knew that you were a big man, so he thought that you were a general of Tiangong, so he shouted to find out if you were.
Zhang Jiao was amused by Xu Shuo's explanation, and said, "Oh, then if I don't respond to you, then what can you do?" What if I were someone else waiting for you to be arrested and go to the court to receive merit and say that you were a person with Zhang Jiao? ”
Xu Shuo smiled wickedly on the bed: "I still rely on my feelings, my feelings are generally right, rarely make mistakes, if I make mistakes, blame my bad life, what should I do, it's nothing more than improvisation, if the adult is not the general of Tiangong, I have other tricks to get out of trouble." ”
Zhang Jiao, who had a bad complexion, was amused by Xu Shuo's funny answers, and his face was a little ruddy, and he laughed: "Hahahaha, you are really an interesting person, so what did you tell to stop and do, but what is the matter?" ”
"Of course there is something, and it's a big deal!" Xu Shuo said exaggeratedly.
"Oh? What a great thing, I should hear from you. Zhang Jiao asked Li'er to help him sit on the original stool again.
Zhang Ning saw that Zhang Jiao was back again, and told Xu Shuo that Zhang Jiao's body was not good, and hoped that Xu Shuo would wait for Zhang Jiao's body to get better, and let Li'er continue to help Zhang Jiao go back to rest, and after Zhang Jiao waved his hand, Zhang Ning saw that his father was unwilling and did not force his father to go back to rest.
"Oh, that's a big deal in your opinion, so it's not good to say it in front of a lot of people, okay, Ning'er Li'er, you go out, and I'll call you in after I finish talking to this little brother Xu." Zhang Jiaodao.
Zhang Ning was still a little afraid that Zhang Jiao would have a problem, what if the person she saved hurt her father, Zhang Ning, who was always at ease, refused to leave, and then Zhang Jiao said for a long time, looking at Xu Shuo's appearance on the bed, he couldn't beat the father sitting next to him, and then said to Zhang Jiao with a little relief: "The daughter is waiting for her father outside the door." ”
"You, you, you, look at the little brother like this, it's not certain if you can get up, haha" Zhang Jiao laughed.
"No, the daughter will wait at the door, and if anything happens, the daughter will rush to her father's side as soon as possible." After speaking, Zhang Ning took Li'er out of the house, closed the door, and waited at the door.
"Little brother, don't mind, my daughter is this kind of character, kind-hearted but straightforward, no malice, just worried about me." Zhang Jiao explained to Xu Shuo, who was lying on the bed.
"No, no, no, I know that Miss is kind, otherwise I won't necessarily save me, it's too late for me to thank her, how can I blame her, the general doesn't have to laugh" Xu Shuo shook his head and smiled.
"Oh, what the hell is so mysterious that I can only tell me?" Zhang Jiao wondered.
"Uh... Did the general ever get a copy of "Taiping Essentials" in the past? Xu Shuo asked.
Zhang Jiao was puzzled: "How do you know that I have a book of Taiping Techniques?" ”
"Uh... I am the founder of the Taiping Technique, and your book was given to you by someone I entrusted him. Xu Shuo said solemnly, and after speaking, the corners of his mouth naturally smiled slightly when Zhang Jiao didn't pay attention, hey Brother Nanhua, I'll impersonate you, your old man doesn't ask about the world, but my juniors need it, just borrow your tiger skin to wear it, and give your old man more incense money in the future, no, hehe.
"Oh? I remember that this book was taught to me by an old Taoist priest, and I have never heard that the old Taoist will be created by you, saying that you are so young, how can you create such a hand-me-down book? Zhang Jiao didn't believe it.
"That old way is the senior brother in the next place, is dragging the senior brother in the next book to your three brothers, because the three of you can understand the meaning of my book, but I am still wrong, this book exists in the world or will cholera the world, I knew that I would listen to the words of the master and burn this book, there will be no troubled times such as today" Xu Shuo's face was sad and his expression was desolate.
Zhang Jiao saw that Xu Shuo didn't seem to be lying, and he also believed it a little, grabbed Xu Shuo's hand on the bed and said: "Sir, don't be secretly sad, if you don't have this book, the world wouldn't know what it would be like to be plagued by the imperial court, sir, this book is a symbol of our civilians opposing the imperial court's government, and Mr. can't be arrogant." ”
Xu Shuo saw Zhang Jiao's letter, secretly laughed, coughed lightly, put on a serious face and said: "You have misunderstood the meaning of my book, and also misunderstood the meaning of my original writing, although now the people are much better than at the beginning, but the hidden danger is still quite big, you see, although you wait for the Yellow Turban Army to overthrow the imperial court and return the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so that the people have something to eat, but look at what your other places say about your Yellow Turban Army?" Some places call you the Yellow Turban Thief, burning, killing, robbing and abusing all kinds of evil, the Yellow Turban Army that calls you the suffering people is good, and the Yellow Turban Thief is called directly if it is not good, do you know? ”
Zhang Jiao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Sir, I don't know, now my yellow scarf is powerful, teaching hundreds of thousands of disciples, and I have a place where I can discipline, and in other places, they may listen to my words, but in some places, I can't do my best, so I can only do my best to persuade them." ”
Xu Shuo said again: "That's good, even if they all listen to you, have you ever thought about who will lead them to live a good life in the future as soon as you leave the Yellow Turban?" Where will the hundreds of thousands of people under the rule of the Yellow Turbans go to live a good life? Do you think about that? You yourself know that your days are numbered, and you should know that although the 'holy water' is cured of the disease, it cannot continue your life. ”
Zhang Jiao sighed bitterly: "If I leave, except for my second brother and third brother, the other Yellow Turbans will definitely be divided and strengthened by themselves, resulting in the Yellow Turbans being broken by the imperial court one by one after the split." ”
Xu Shuo glanced at Zhang Jiao in surprise, thinking that Zhang Jiao was really unusual, and he could even deduce what was going to happen later, which was quite remarkable.
"If there is really that day, I hope that Mr. must save me and other Yellow Turban people, I and other Yellow Turban people are your people, I hope that if I unfortunately leave one day, I hope that Mr. can come forward to accept this important responsibility, I am also blind, and Mr. is very happy to accept the people, so that the people have a way out, I don't have to worry about the people below." Zhang Jiao got up and gave Xu Shuo a kowtow to kneel in front of the bed.
Zhang Ning heard that there seemed to be movement in the room, suddenly opened the door and rushed in, saw his father kneeling in front of the bed, angry, and said to Xu Shuo on the bed: "Okay, you person, I saved you You said that you want to repay me, and letting my father kneel on the ground is to repay?" ”
Xu Shuo looked at Zhang Ning, who was about to go berserk, and smiled bitterly, "I don't want your father to kneel on the ground, it's your father who insists on kneeling, you go and help your father up." ”
"Ning'er can't mess around, why don't you come over and kneel and ask Mr. for permission!" Zhang Jiao, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted angrily at Zhang Ning next to him.
"Agree with what?" Zhang Ning asked Zhang Jiao, who was kneeling on the ground, suspiciously.
"You come here and kneel," Zhang Jiao shouted.
From time to time, Zhang Ning knelt with Zhang Jiao and kowtowed to Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo couldn't stand it anymore, so he pretended to be helpless and said: "That's it, it starts with me, then if you leave, I should end it, you don't have to kneel, get up, I will get you." ”
"I thank you, sir, for myself, my brothers and sisters below, and the people!" After speaking, Zhang Jiao didn't forget to kowtow to the bed, Xu Shuo kowtowed twice before pulling Zhang Ning to get up.
Zhang Ning helped Zhang Jiao to go back to the room to rest, and when he turned around, Zhang Ning glanced at Xu Shuo viciously.
Xu Shuo, who was sitting on the bed, saw Zhang Ning look at him with evil eyes, smiled bitterly, and thought to himself, he finally fooled this old man, it was so dangerous and dangerous, he almost showed his stuffing, Xu Shuo, who couldn't calm down for a long time, lay down flat, and closed his eyes and thought about the things behind.
On the other side, Zhang Jiao was explaining to Zhang Ning why he asked Zhang Ning to kneel with him just now, Zhang Ning didn't have so much hostility towards Xu Shuo after he understood, but let her father kneel on the ground, Zhang Ning was still uncomfortable, and then settled his father, Zhang Ning left to play with Li'er.
And Zhang Jiao, who was lying on the bed, was also thinking about the future!
