Chapter 15: Zhang Jiao
The two frolicked all the way and carried Xu Shuo all the way to the village, and several guards at the door saw that it was their own young lady who came back, and they all knelt down and saluted, and the soldiers who were on guard outside the village also knelt and saluted in place.
When the people in the village heard that the 'Holy Maiden' had returned, they put down their things and set off to the entrance of the village to welcome the Holy Maiden back.
I saw that two guards took Xu Shuo from the hands of the two women, helping the woman carry Xu Shuo into the village, and there was also a guard in front of the woman to clear the way, and the people on both sides of the road were kneeling and saluting, and the people said, "Welcome the holy woman home." ”
At this time, the woman waved her hand and said, "Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, get up quickly, you don't have to stir up for me." After speaking, the woman helped the people next to her one by one as she walked.
One of the old men got up and said to the woman: "I have waited for today, thanks to the general of Tiangong, otherwise how can I wait for the current food, although we don't know a few big words, but the favor should be repaid, if there is no general Tiangong, we still don't know where to be homeless and waiting for death, now the saint has returned, this little bit of etiquette I still know the small people, and please don't shirk the saint, otherwise we will have trouble sleeping and eating in our hearts." ”
After hearing this, the woman said embarrassedly, "Uh... Actually, it's not necessary, okay, it's okay, let's get up. ”
When they heard this, they all got up and stood looking at the woman.
"Don't look at me, let's go home and get busy."
After hearing this, the people disbanded, and went home to take care of their own affairs.
Seeing that everyone had disbanded, the woman was also relieved, after all, there were too many people looking at the woman, which made the woman feel a lot of pressure.
The guard who led the way in front smiled at the woman and said, "Miss, you see how much they respect you!" ”
The woman replied with a smile, "What do you admire, it's not that I'm stained with my father's light, I'm going back, I'm still sneaking out, and I'll definitely be scolded when my father catches me." ”
The guard said, "Miss, when you went out this morning, the general saw that the young lady was nowhere to be found, so he asked the little ones to look everywhere, and after looking for a long time, there was no trace of the young lady, so that we were scolded by the general." ”
The woman was instantly embarrassed and said: "Then I'm sorry brothers, because I let my brothers be scolded, and I'd rather apologize to my brothers again." ”
The guard didn't take it to heart, after all, it was my own miss, and I should be scolded if I didn't find the miss, and the matter was over.
As soon as they arrived at the house, the woman asked the two guards to carry Xu Shuo to the back guest room for placement, and then asked the two to return to their original posts, while the woman and Li'er quietly walked towards the lobby.
The two of them walked lightly, taking two steps and stretching out their necks from time to time to look left and right.
"Ning'er, where are you two going?"
The two of them were directly stunned when they heard this, and neither of them dared to turn around to look at the person who spoke.
The person who spoke had a yellow face and thin muscles, although he had walked a few steps, he had already been weak, and there were still a few drops of sweat on his forehead, only to see that this person was sick, and the illness was not light, and this person was the head of the Yellow Turban Army uprising, Zhang Jiao, who was nicknamed General Zhang, the general of Tiangong.
"Ning'er, where did you run today, I didn't care if you ran everywhere a few days ago, at least I could find you, and today I asked someone to find you, why can't Fang Yuan find you in five miles, do you know that it is good to let your father worry, in case a bandit makes you three long and two short, how can you call your father to face your mother who died early?" Zhang Jiao said sternly.
As soon as Zhang Ning wanted to defend himself, Li'er behind him stood up and knelt in front of Zhang Jiao and said: "General, it's all the little maid who took the young lady out to play quietly, if the general wants to punish it, just punish the little maid, it has nothing to do with the young lady." ”
Zhang Ning asked Li'er to help her be punished, and begged Zhang Jiao to say that it was all his own idea, and there was nothing to do without Li'er.
"Hmph, a good master and servant mutually, you both have to be punished, Li'er, you take the master to run around regardless of the master's safety, you should be beheaded, but Nian Ning'er is such a good sister as you, I won't punish you heavily, punish you for three days, and Ning'er, your running personality has to be changed, we are not as ordinary as before, now I am the general of Tiangong, and there are hundreds of thousands of people under my hands and the court are incompatible, in case you are caught by the people of the court and threatened with me, how can you be called a father, Do you let your father save you from the hundreds of thousands of brothers and sisters who follow him? Zhang Jiao said solemnly.
"Daddy, my daughter knows that she is wrong, and my daughter is willing to be punished with Li'er." Zhang Ning buried his head and said in a low voice.
"You... You, no matter what, you are also responsible, then you will be punished together, and you will be locked up for three days, come on! Zhang Jiao shouted
"Daddy, don't be in a hurry to punish your daughter first, your daughter occasionally saves someone when she is playing outside, and let her daughter know that the person is safe and sound, and then her daughter will come to Daddy to be punished, okay?" Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Jiao with a look of hope.
Zhang Jiao reluctantly said You are kind-hearted, but in case that person is a person from the court, hey, it is not good to hit you, maybe it is not a person from the court, maybe it is not a common person, after thinking about it, Zhang Jiao agreed that Zhang Ning and Li'er would continue to be punished after waking up safe and sound.
"Thank you Daddy, Daddy is the best!" Zhang Ning jumped happily when he heard this, ran to Zhang Jiao and kissed Zhang Jiao's cheek.
Zhang Jiao stroked Zhang Ning's face and smiled: "You, you, you are almost ready to marry a wife, and you are so naughty, who will dare to marry you in the future." ”
"If no one marries Ning'er, Ning'er won't marry, so she will take care of her father by her father's side." Zhang Ning said mischievously.
"This is okay, the man should get married, the woman should get married, I want to hold my grandson as soon as possible." Zhang Jiao laughed.
And Xu Shuo in the guest room had no one to care about him for the time being.
Li'er looked at the two of them laughing like bickering, and stood behind the young lady with a smile on her face.
From time to time, a shout came from outside the door, "Big brother, I heard you arguing with Ning'er from afar, how about Ning'er, I was arrested by my eldest brother again today." "A man walked in outside the door, the man was wearing a yellow scarf, holding a big knife, there was a shallow scar on his face, and there was a hint of evil when he smiled, this person was the second leader of the yellow scarf, Zhang Jiao's second brother, Zhang Bao, the general of the Digong!
"Yo, why does the second brother have time to come to my side today, why, haven't you captured Guangzong yet?" Zhang Jiao smiled.
"Oh, what the eldest brother asked is this, by the auspicious words of the eldest brother, yesterday I led the third brother and all the brothers under my command to finally lay down Guangzong, and now Guangzong is the territory of my Yellow Turban Army, and I am here to report the good news to the eldest brother." Zhang Bao happily sat under Zhang Jiao, and kept telling Zhang Jiao about the process of laying Guangzong, from time to time Zhang Jiao also praised and exaggerated Liang Youyong, and for a while also reprimanded Zhang Bao for being reckless and not listening to Zhang Liang's words and causing many unworthy soldiers to die, but for the sake of peace in the world, Zhang Jiao still endured the death of some people, and did not scold Zhang Bao too much, after all, Zhang Bao is meritorious, and it is not good to say too much.
"Second brother, third brother didn't come back with you?" Zhang Jiao wondered.
"No, he's still defending Guangzong, just won Guangzong, the third brother is afraid that the court will counterattack, so he is stepping up the defense now, so as not to take the territory he just won will be snatched back by the court." Zhang Baodao.
"You, you, when will you learn the cautious character of the third brother, you are always very arrogant, how can I rest assured that I will entrust you two in the future, everything is very much the third brother learns, if you don't understand anything, please ask the third brother, do you know" Zhang Jiao said to Zhang Bao seriously.
"Hehe, the eldest brother is too worried, there is a third brother, why do I need to think about this, the third brother has already finished planning, I dare to say that I am not as good as the third brother in terms of policy and strategy, but I am not weak to anyone in the battle to kill the enemy." Zhang Bao patted his chest and said.
"Hey, let's not talk about it, cough cough!" Zhang Jiao coughed twice after speaking.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you, how's it going?" Zhang Ning asked Zhang Jiao excitedly with a look of concern.
Zhang Jiao waved his hand and said, "The old problem, the old problem, let Ning'er and the second brother laugh." ”
"Daddy, wait for me, I'll call the medical officer" Zhang Ning was about to get up and go out to call the medical officer.
Zhang Jiao grabbed her, "What is the name of the medical officer, my father is a medical officer, I am sick, I have drunk the divine water (the water made with talismans, and it used to bewitch others to be divine water) in the past few days."
Zhang Bao saw that Zhang Jiao's face was still not good, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Ning to help Zhang Jiao go back to the room to rest, and said to Zhang Ning seriously, "You see that your father's health is not good, be less naughty in the future, don't let the eldest brother work hard for you, you should also grow up, do you know Ning'er"
"Got it, uncle"
"Hey, it's good to know, help your father back to the room to rest, and I won't disturb the eldest brother to rest, so I'll go." After speaking, Zhang Bao got up and prepared to return to the camp to continue training the recruits.
And Zhang Jiao was also helped back to the room by Zhang Ning and others to rest.
