On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival.

The lanterns in Luoyang City, the eastern capital, are very beautiful, but Zheng Guanyin's mood has not been better.

The prince of Tang Guo came to ask her to go shopping and watch the lights, and the daughter of a famous family couldn't do such a rude thing. But she has always been a person who can't stand loneliness, although something like that happened last time she went to Qi County, but fortunately, no one dared to reveal anything to the public, and the family didn't know that such an accident had happened.

changed into a son's outfit, quietly slipped out of the house with his two cousins, met the handsome Li Jiancheng outside, and walked around Luoyang City, but he couldn't get any interest. I thought that going out for a walk would resolve the recent depression, but it turned out that it didn't help at all.

That shameless fellow has now become her nightmare, and as long as she closes her eyes, her hateful face can always be revealed. Even in the dream, he pinched his chin over and over again, and the disgusting tongue was stuffed into her mouth over and over again, and how many times in the middle of the night, she woke up from a nightmare, and then vomited.

In just a few months, she has already lost a lot of weight.

After shopping for a long time, she found a reason to go home.

Sitting in his room, teasing the snow-white fat cat, Zheng Guanyin couldn't help but curse the evil guy again. She took out the straw man, and she stuck another needle into it.

Now she has to stick needles into the straw man every morning, noon and evening, and after piercing, she has to insert the needle into it, and now it is densely covered with many needles, and the straw man can no longer see his true face.

Brother Shu sent a beautiful lantern over, "This is sent by Jiangongzi, it's very beautiful." ”

Zheng Guanyin glanced at it, and he was not interested.

"Although Li Jiancheng looks good, he is boring and tight, and he talks and acts like an old man." Zheng Guanyin said that for this fiancé, she felt that no matter his family background, talent, or appearance, everything was very good, but this temperament was not to her liking. He was too old, only twenty-one years old, but he was as straightforward as his grandfather.

Brother Shu smiled and said, "It's true, to be honest, Li Dalang is not as good as the blind Li Erlang." ”

Another cousin said, "It's a pity that Li Erlang is only thirteen years old, and he is a blind man, and he is still the second son, otherwise it is appropriate for his sister to give it to him." ”

Zheng Guanyin remembered that Li Erlai, who had only met a few times, and every time he followed Li Jiancheng with a fart-like person, the child was quite lively, and he liked to play chess and pipa, and he was also funny when he spoke, but unfortunately his eyes were sick and he couldn't see the light, so he always had to be covered with a cloth, and he was better in the house, but he was almost like a blind man.

"That shameless man should leave Zhangqiu now, right?" Zheng Guanyin asked through gritted teeth.

"Well, I've been sending people to keep an eye on it, and I just came back with a message, saying that I have already taken people across the Yellow River, and at that speed, it is estimated that I will be able to reach Zhuo County in March and April." He smiled and said, "Sister, don't always remember that little thief, this Eastern Crusade is very dangerous, the Goguryeo barbarians have always been vicious, and the country has been established for 700 years, how can it be so easy to conquer, the poor mountains and rivers over there are remote and sinister, and it is cold." It is said that the cities of the Goguryeo people are built on high mountains, and there are mountain cities all over Liaodong, even if they send millions of troops, they want to attack it, and they don't know how many lives they have to take to fill it all the way. ”

"Hmph, it's cheaper for him to die." Zheng Guanyin said.

"I will take him up, gouge out his eyes, cut off his tongue, and then cut off his limbs, and throw him into the latrine, so that he will not be able to survive and die." Originally, she was not the kind of person with a vicious heart, but after being insulted by that person, she lived in nightmares every day and night.

She was always worried about the news getting out, even though the people around her had been given a gag order.

But who can guarantee that the thief will not say it, who can guarantee that his family will not say it, so many people saw it that day, and Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui and others also knew about it, but if one person revealed a little bit of content, he went out.

Then her reputation as a woman with five surnames will be completely ruined, and it is impossible to say that Li Jiancheng, the rigid prince of Tang Guo, will also come to withdraw from the marriage.

Maybe even his father would beat her to death for the sake of the whole family's reputation.

·······

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Pingyuan County, Douzigang.

Luo Cheng sneezed, and he had already sneezed many times in a row today.

"Brother, it must be the fifth sister-in-law who is thinking about you." Xiao Liu said next to him.

Luo Cheng wiped his nose, "Definitely, I miss her a little bit too." ”

A gallop came.

"Sima, there is a salt-boiling workshop not far ahead, where there is a group of Xu Badao's subordinates, about fifty thieves and bandits, and about three hundred homeless salt workers." Zhao Gui stepped forward to report.

"Hmm. According to the plan, let Liu Zhen lead his subordinate Wang Lvshuai to go first. ”

"If you want me to say, let's rush in and cut people, just take the salt and leave, why bother." Zhao Guidao.

"That's a pleasure, but even if you hit more and less, you won't be able to hurt a little. Let General Liu Zhen's people go first, which can attract the attention of thieves, and if we copy from behind, we can reduce unnecessary damage. If the thief is arrogant and dares to chase him out, then we will save a lot of hands and feet, and just encircle and annihilate it directly. ”

Zhao Gui said that Luo Cheng was too picky, but Luo Cheng was thinking about how to avoid casualties to the greatest extent.

"Remember, what we are here to fight for, this is a way to earn a foreign block, so there is no need to fight with the thieves, and I don't ask for total annihilation or anything, I just hope that the damage will be minimized." Luo Cheng confessed again.

Liu Zhen led the team with Wang Lvshuai a little reluctant, and dragged people with them, but Luo Cheng didn't care, anyway, if he didn't take the lead, Luo Cheng wouldn't go directly.

"This bale of straw."

The third man who came from behind said disdainfully, "These town soldiers in Lujiao Pass are all straw bales. ”

Luo Cheng said with a smile, "It's not that you haven't heard General Liu Zhen say, now these town soldiers are all prisoners sent by local governments, criminals and prisoners, how brave are you to make them?" ”

The third shook his head and said, "I think Shi Wansui was also a Dunhuang soldier at the beginning, and he was also exiled to the army at that time, but he was very fierce, and often followed the Dunhuang warrior master to the Turkic tribe to steal cattle and sheep and roast them to eat, not to mention how happy and happy he was, the stolen Turkic tribe didn't even dare to say anything." ”

"You also said that it was Shi Wansui, that was one of the four famous marshals of the founding of the country, and he fought with the Turks in front of the battle, but there was no enemy under his command." Speaking of Shi Wansui, a fierce man, Luo Cheng was also very impressed.

But now it's no better than in the past, just look at the Antler Pass, in fact, the Great Sui Empire is just a foreign power.
