Chapter 2: The Yellow Sparrow (Part 5I)
returned to his own camp and told Du Juan about the opportunity that night, and Cheng Mingzhen's mood was quickly relieved. He is no longer the half-grown child who has not experienced much of the world back then, and he will not change his opinion on the entire Dou Jiajun because of Cao Dan's behavior alone. Besides, since you walk in the world, you must deal with different people. Among them, there must be good people, and there are many evil people. can keep the square inch in your heart when you are left and right, that is, there is really no need to be too serious. You can't expect that all the partners around you are lay people who eat fasting and recite Buddhas, and they will give three points when they meet them, right? What's that still called a green forest!
"Grandpa also said back then that the higher the position, the more open guns and hidden arrows you will face. It's easy to be an ordinary little minion, no one has time to notice you, and naturally no one will be jealous of you, or force you to stand in line! Du Juan's point of view is similar to Cheng Mingzhen's, and he didn't regard Cao Dan's reckless behavior as a big deal. Speaking from the heart, at the moment in Dou Jiande, Cheng Mingzhen is much less excluded than when he was in Juluze. Of course, this may also be due to the fact that he has just arrived, and there is a cloud among the people, "it is best to meet at the beginning of friendship", and what changes will occur after getting along for a long time in the future, no one dares to guarantee now.
"Now that the world is in turmoil, the world's heroes are rushing to become emperors. Even if you and I wash our hands now, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a place where we can live a stable life! Cheng Mingzhen smiled and shook his head and said.
The golden basin washes its hands is a joke that the couple said two years ago when they had just dug up a part of the treasure and were so happy that they couldn't sleep peacefully. Du Juan thought that since her husband had such a "golden mountain" in his hands that future generations could not eat for ten lifetimes, he would give up the three counties of Ping'en and find a place where no one could live a small life. Cheng Mingzhen laughed at himself for having no ambitions, and his only wish when he was a teenager was to find a "golden rice bowl" in the yamen for a month, and marry a daughter-in-law to serve the old lady together. So I also agree with the idea of the cuckoo. It's just that this idea has never been able to be implemented, and after a long delay, it has gradually become strange in the hearts of the two.
"Alas!" The cuckoo sighed softly. In the past few days, the respect contained in the eyes of the heroes of the Dou family army looking at her husband can be clearly perceived. Ping Encheng Gongzi, Hebei nine-headed Jiao! With such a resounding name, how easy is the word "withdraw"? Moreover, in this world of chaos, when the "heroes and heroes" are thirsty for talents, who is willing to let talents like Cheng Mingzhen live in seclusion under their rule. Who is willing to rest assured that Cheng Mingzhen will live in seclusion under his rule?
Cheng Mingzhen smiled and didn't speak. He understood his wife's thoughts very well. It's just that the higher a person goes, the heavier the burden on his shoulders. When I was young, I didn't have much experience, so I naturally thought about happiness and revenge all day long, and I didn't care about it. But now he is no longer alone, the old brothers of the Zhaozhou Army, Wang Ermao, Zhang Jin, Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi, the future of this group of heroes, all have a great relationship with him. It can't be said that everyone will share blessings and misfortunes in this life, at least in a short period of time, one will lose and one will prosper.
Du Juan also smiled and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of Dou Jiande, can he be regarded as a capable and open-minded person?" ”
The reason why she asked this is because Zhang Jin said that when he was leaving, he once told Cheng Mingzhen that if he took refuge in others in the future, he must find a true hero who has both skills and an open mind to defect, otherwise it is better to fight the world for himself. Although it is more risky to do so, at least it will not face the embarrassment of "the rafters are too big to break the roof" again. Cheng Mingzhen has been thinking about this matter for several days, smiled, and responded with confidence, "At present, it seems that his open-mindedness is much stronger than that of other heroes." What's even more rare is his vision, it's just one step and three steps! ”
The cuckoo's tense mind immediately relaxed, and said with a little tiredness: "That's good, although we were forced to surrender to him, but I'm afraid that this step is wrong, and the next step is wrong." How do you regret it, let's withdraw Ping'en now, maybe it's still too late! ”
"It is already impossible to withdraw Ping'en. But let's keep an eye on it! I think Dou Da is a downright person and will not harm each other. So in the future, if I return to the camp late, you don't have to worry, and you can't send strong men like Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi to pick me up. lest they be seen and make up right and wrong out of thin air. ”
"Hmm!" The cuckoo aggrievedly agreed, "I'll ...... today"
"It's okay today. When they arrived, the feast had already dispersed. Dou Tianwang drank too much and didn't send it out. Cao Dan is busy wooing me, and he may not notice it! I mean later. You care about me, needless to say, I know this in my heart. But if there is any accident, I can't kill it alone in the tens of thousands of troops, and it will be useless to take the two of Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi. ”
The cuckoo blinked and thought about it, and felt that it was the same reason. Personal bravery is useful in seeking revenge in the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to determine how useful it can be in the army of ten thousand horses. Unless you have a large group of brothers behind you, there is no precedent for bringing hundreds of people with you, no matter where you go to the banquet.
"Then next time, for one person, okay?"
"There really is a day when you take everyone away immediately, and the farther you go, the more relieved I will be!" Cheng Mingzhen shook Du Juan's finger and continued to emphasize.
Du Juan smiled slightly, didn't argue with Cheng Mingzhen, and changed the topic to one: "Except for Dou Jiande, how about the others?" You just said that Cao Dan is a bastard, what about the others? I know Brother Wang and Red Line, the two of them are good people and worthy of trust! ”
"I don't have much contact with it. For now, it can be said that the good and the bad are mixed. But this also verifies that Dou Tianwang is indeed superior. No matter what kind of hero, he can tolerate it and come in handy. "Cheng Mingzhen flexed and stretched out his five fingers, counting the core figures under Dou Jiande's command one by one." The worse ones, such as Yang Gongqing and Xu Yuanlang, let's not talk about them. are all the original grass kings who robbed houses and houses, and they are nothing more than the words 'bold and ruthless'. Let's just count the best of them. Brother Wang, you have seen it, although he has never read a military book, he is a top general. Character, martial arts, and open-mindedness, there is no place that is not the best choice. Others, such as Ruan Junming, Gao Yaxian, Yin Qiu, and Shi Zhan, are also considered to be heroes for a while, and their abilities are not below you and me. ”
"How can I compare to you big men?" The cuckoo gave her husband a light look, disgusted.
"You've never been worse than me, really." Cheng Mingzhen explained with a smile, "When the world is peaceful and prosperous, it will definitely not show your goodness." And in the troubled times, only you can reassure me behind my back. In fact, although I have read a few books, I am not a person bound by books. If you like to be a heroine, I will definitely not interfere with you! ”
Hearing her husband praise herself like this, Du Juan couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, as if she had drunk it sweet. She is not good at needlework, and she doesn't know how to guess men's minds, and she is even worse in the kitchen. So after all these years of marriage, I have always felt that I am very undutiful, and I always feel that I owe my husband something. Today, Cheng Mingzhen said, "Only you can reassure me behind my back", and he said it suddenly and refreshed.
"Really, all these years, I owe you behind my back." Cheng Mingzhen held his wife's hand and repeated solemnly. There are some things that he has never said, but he understands them very well in his heart. I was able to gain a firm foothold in Juluze at the beginning, and later I was able to gain a firm foothold in the three counties of Ping'en, which is inseparable from Du Juan's hard work. Especially during several major wars, if it weren't for the cuckoo to protect the old, weak, sick and disabled and retreat to the mountains, he would never have let go of his hands and feet.
"Don't talk about this, let's talk about the things under the command of Dou Tianwang!" The cuckoo gave her husband a gentle glance and lowered her head with a red face.
Cheng Mingzhen gently bit his wife's earlobe and continued with a smile. "Actually, when it comes to military generals, there are quite a few of them on our side. What I really admire is Dou Tianwang's ability as an online civil official. Song Zhengben, Kong Deshao, and Ling Jing are all extraordinary. Today, Song Zhengben also offered him a strategy to stabilize Hebei, and if Dou Tianwang continues to implement it in the future, I am afraid he will make a great difference! ”
"Is it the one who always speaks with thorns?" The more calm Du Juan's heart became, he pushed away Cheng Mingzhen's hot mouth, and went to make the bed with a smile.
"Hmm!" Cheng Mingzhen nodded and replied. Walk behind your wife and be busy with her. Occasionally, they rub each other, showing the intimacy between husband and wife
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became more and more beautiful, and the beeswax on the table suddenly pulsed and sprayed with a wave of hot heat. The cuckoo hurried to clean up while stalling for time with his words. "He has an odd temper, but he is really upright. What about the one with the surname Kong? I haven't seen him do anything other than slap his ass! ”
"It also takes some skills to meet the music. Otherwise, don't you shoot the horse's ass on the horse's leg every day? Cheng Mingzhen smiled and hugged his wife and didn't let her continue to escape. People say that things are like husbands. Not only must you know how to give him advice against your ears, but also urge him to make progress, so as to make your husband and wife noble. And you must know how to figure out his thoughts, follow his will, and follow the ......."
"You've got everything to say!" The cuckoo soon lost her breath, twisted her lips, and said goodbye. "Isn't that the ......case?"
Her words were choked in Cheng Mingzhen's throat and gradually turned into a soft murmur. The two have been married for several years, and they have been busy for themselves and others, gathering less and leaving more, and they have not yet branched out. This cannot but be said to be a trace of regret in addition to happiness. Now, Cheng Mingzhen has handed over the Zhaozhou Army, and Dou Jiande seems to be a hero who can achieve great things. The future of the two is no longer dark, but full of light and hope. How nice it would be if we had another child and let him walk in light and hope!
The hardships his parents went through, he would never have to go through again. He will never have to bear the pain of his parents. He was born to witness prosperity, not to endure turmoil......
It was night, the red shadow was shaking the candle, and the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden.
