Chapter 3 Drifting (7 I)

After only a few days of hard work, Dou Hongxian has completely become a different person, Cheng Mingzhen knows that there must be something greasy in this, and in the evening, he grabbed Du Juan over and asked what happened.

The jade-faced Rakshasa cuckoo first looked at him left and right, and was forced to look at him by her husband's gaze that she had nowhere to hide, so she begged for mercy, and said with a snort: "Aren't you men just more cherished the more you can't get?" Look at Luo Cheng's little sample, when he saw the red line a few days ago, he couldn't wait to hide far away. Now that no one is paying attention to him, he is wagging his tail again! ”

"Who taught you?" When Cheng Mingzhen heard this, his head immediately became as big as a fight. "One of these two people is the only son of Luo Yi in Youzhou, and the other is Dou Jiande's sister-in-law, which is our turn to take care of the affairs between them. If you manage it well, you may not get anything in return, and once you become a resentful couple in the future, it will inevitably be a bunch of trouble! ”

"Is that the case still taught by people?" The cuckoo gave her husband a light glance and responded unconvinced. "You didn't see that Luo Cheng saw the red line today, and his eyes immediately lit up. I didn't think about how they would repay me in the future, but I didn't want to see a good couple, so I just became a passerby! ”

"You're a fool!" Now his wife didn't understand what she was talking about, Cheng Mingzhen scratched his scalp and hugged his head to count, "They have become passers-by, which is just a temporary pain." If it really becomes a relative, the red line is considered a member of the Dou family, or a member of the Luo family? After the two families fought, teach her how to deal with herself? Besides, there is a big brother Wang in the middle of this matter, so how can King Dou Tianwang make a decision? ”

"Isn't it impossible to fight right now?" Du Juan thought about it and knew that her husband's words were very reasonable, but she still felt very unwilling, "Besides, Dou Jiande and Luo Yi may not really want to fight for you and me." As for Brother Wang, it's simpler, since Hongxian doesn't like him at all, he might as well find someone else. The twisted melon is not sweet in the first place, so why do you have to make the red line uncomfortable, and you are also uncomfortable? ”

"It's really unreasonable to talk to you!" Cheng Mingzhen couldn't bear it anymore and turned his back to protest. The wife is now completely short-sighted little woman, who only thinks about the beauty of ** and makes others as happy as herself, but she doesn't think about how deep the water is at all.

"Are they little women?" The cuckoo pouted, and kept drawing circles on Cheng Mingzhen's back with his fingers, "A woman's vision, of course, can't be compared with you men." Otherwise, what's the use of having men in this world! ”

Cheng Mingzhen had no choice but to turn his head again, grabbed his wife's fingers and said, "Okay, okay, you are a little woman who can dance with knives and sticks, and can help people protect the media and pull fibers, okay?" Try not to mix too much in the future. Go with the flow and be good for both of them and the guys! ”

"Well, if the red line comes to me tomorrow to ask for advice, I will definitely not help her!" The cuckoo nodded, and fell into her husband's arms to reassure. Although she promised happily, after a while, she raised her head slightly, looked into Cheng Mingzhen's eyes and asked, "You say, does the current Luo Cheng like the red line, or is he only grateful in his heart?" If he obeys the red line, just out of gratitude, then it is not in vain that the red line thinks about him! ”

"Don't you know everything?" Cheng Ming slapped his wife angrily and whispered a lesson. "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Anyway, the red line is the eyes of the elderly, and I should know to see! ”

"I'm afraid she's wrong!" The beaten cuckoo writhed in her husband's arms, and then continued to get tired, "At this time, women are most likely to suffer from gains and losses." It's obviously good, but she thinks badly. People are obviously not good to him, but she always feels that it is an illusion caused by her own son, and she will misunderstand the other party's intentions! ”

"I don't know. Luo Cheng is not a person who writes everything on his face. Besides, what he is thinking now, he may not know it himself! Cheng Mingzhen sighed and responded in a low voice.

He remembered that back then, he didn't suffer from gains and losses to his cousin Zhu Xing'er. As a result, before I could figure out my feelings, my cousin was already married.

"What a sigh, you don't let me care about me!" The cuckoo thought that her husband was still annoyed by his meddling in his heart, so he quickly smiled and relented.

"It's none of your business!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and shook his head slightly. "I remembered what happened when I first entered Juluze, when I knew that you were good to me, but I always wanted to leave! Alas! ”

This was a white lie, but it made a warm current in Du Juan's heart. "Whoever is good to you, I feel good!" With a gentle sip, she said coquettishly. Then she broke free from her husband's arms, supported half of her body with her arms, and looked at her husband carefully.

Under the flickering candlelight, the pores on her husband's face can be seen very clearly. This face no longer has the childishness and youthfulness of the past, replaced by a sense of perseverance and maturity, and there is a faint trace of tiredness. There are so many things to worry about, and even the strongest man can feel tired. But even when he was exhausted, his husband never brought his troubles to the boudoir. He was like a big tree, blocking out all the wind and rain outside. No matter how much pressure you bear, there will always be a sky without grievances under the shade of the tree.

"What to see, I see you every day, you haven't seen enough!" Cheng Mingzhen yawned and counted with a smile.

The cuckoo smiled and shook his head slightly. How can it be enough, from that time to today, it is changing every day. Like the water of Jushizawa, the deeper you go, the more you can feel the difference. She is glad for her persistence and choice back then. The way I treated Cheng Mingzhen back then was the same as the current red line! It's just that the stupid man around me never noticed. With this, she also has to work hard to help the red line again. Why should a man choose a woman, and a woman can't control her own happiness? It's not fair!

Of course, Cheng Mingzhen couldn't guess what the hell his wife had in mind. With so many things to deal with every day, he really didn't have the energy to spend on other people's children's affection. After a good night's sleep, the next day he threw out the warning he had given to his wife the night before. However, Du Juan, who was reminded by her husband, behaved slightly and no longer followed Dou Hongxian every day. However, Dou Hongxian's behavior is more and more in line with everyone's beautiful standards, talking and doing things, eating and drinking, all of which are noble and mature.

Fortunately, Brother Wang has no fate with her. Seeing Dou Hongxian's performance, the person who was originally full of sympathy for Wang Fubao in his heart began to pity Luo Chenglai at this moment. 'Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, accepting a concubine and accepting a concubine', that is only a matter of attention to a wealthy family, and it is also a good match for Luo Cheng's background. And the men of the rivers and lakes, pay attention to marrying someone who knows how to warm and cold, and knows how to make men happy, if you ask for a brick face to go home with a brick face all day long, it is better to go to the temple to ask for a Bodhisattva. At least when the bodhisattva receives your incense, he will not speak coldly to you.

Why Wu Tianxi and the others are always full of schadenfreude in their eyes, Luo Cheng can guess with his toes. He didn't bother to explain to everyone, but when he was competing in martial arts, the strength in his hand increased by two layers. As a result, everyone except Cheng Mingzhen had either a blue nose and swollen face at the end of training every day, or their mouths were slanted and their eyes were crooked, and they didn't even have the strength to go home, so they had to let their soldiers drag back with their arms.

After persisting in this way for more than ten days, everyone's martial arts have improved a lot. In particular, Wu Tianxi, Xiong Kuohai and Cheng Mingzhen have higher qualifications than others, but they have never had the guidance of the Master. was suddenly brought into the door by Luo Cheng, and the progress can be described as a rapid progress.

Today's Wu Tianxi, picking up the Mo knife is like a windmill in winter, looking cold and rolling from a distance, and he can't tell where the figure is and where the blade is. The foundation of the majestic sea is not as good as his, but it is a pure and fierce road. Wu Zhi has the saying of "Year Sword and Moon Stick", and he has been instructed by Luo Cheng for more than ten days, which is enough to understand the trick of making sticks. Among the three, Cheng Mingzhen gained the most. In order to repay his kindness, Luo Cheng taught him the knife skills of his father Luo Yi and the knife skills used by Li Zhongjian, which he figured out, without reservation. As long as you keep practicing, you may not be able to take advantage of the top masters in the future, so that you can't test your depth in a short period of time.

Seeing that everyone's heat was almost over, Luo Cheng decided to say goodbye to everyone. Cheng Mingzhen was very reluctant, and couldn't help but say something to stay: "You are in a hurry to leave after only a few days." Is the root of the disease gone? It's going to be clear soon, and there will be a lot of spring rain on the road, so it's better to stay for ten more days and a half months! ”

"Gotta go, gotta go. If you don't leave, Brother Cheng, you'll be in big trouble! Luo Cheng looked around, saw that there were no outsiders around, pointed to the sky on the west side, and explained with a smile.

Cheng Mingzhen delayed for two more days after Luo Cheng arrived before he sent a letter to Dou Jiande. and secretly told Huangya Bao, who was in charge of delivering the letter, to let him walk slowly on the road and delay the arrival of Liaocheng as much as possible. Even so, counting the days, it is time for Dou Jiande to receive the letter now. If he ordered the forcible retention of guests, Cheng Mingzhen would indeed be very difficult to do.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mingzhen no longer insisted. Nodding, he smiled and proposed, "Then just stay one more night." Let's have a good drink tonight, and tomorrow morning, I will personally send Brother Luo out of the country! ”

"You can drink the wine, so you can give it away. Friends know each other, there is no need to be too polite! "After more than ten days of recuperation and rest, Luo Cheng's face has regained its luster, and the whole person looks vibrant." Go back and help me ask Lord Dou to see if she has anything else I need to do. If she doesn't want to go home for a while, she can go with me first! ”

Wu Tianxi and the others snickered, and said in their hearts: "There really is your kid." On the surface, he didn't hum or ha, but he wanted to abduct Dou Jiande's sister and go home. When you get to the land of Youzhou, whether it's raw rice or cooked rice, don't you all follow you? Dou Hongxian can't ask for it, how can he keep a face all day long?! ”

Although I thought so in my heart, no one made it clear. It's just that the Luo brothers are affectionate and righteous, and they will be rewarded with a spring of water when they receive a drop of water. Luo Cheng laughed very embarrassed, scratched his scalp, and explained with a red face: "I am going to go south along the official road, and while the world is not completely chaotic, I will walk around and visit the heroes and heroes of various places. I don't plan to go back to Youzhou right away! ”

"I kidnapped a little beauty, and I don't even want my father!" Wu Tianxi continued to slander in his stomach, but he made an expression of sudden realization on his face, "Oh, I said that Brother Luo is in such a hurry to leave you, it turns out that there are other schedules." The road to the south is not smooth, after crossing the Yellow River, both sides of the canal are the boundaries of the Wagang army. Among them, there are many fish and dragons, and military discipline is difficult to say! ”

"Well, I don't have gold or silver on me, and I don't blush. If you encounter something too unreasonable, just use it to verify the new comprehension of the move! Luo Cheng shrugged, his face full of cold arrogance.

mentioned irrelevant people, and his face was full of arrogant taste of being high and no one was a bird. Wu Tianxi and the others looked at it and held their breath, and they didn't say anything else. From a friend's point of view, Cheng Mingzhen supported Luo Cheng's idea of traveling around, nodded, and said with a smile: "Traveling thousands of miles is like reading thousands of books." If there aren't too many things to do, I want to go out and walk around. But brother, you should be careful, the world is sinister, murderers may not be good at martial arts, and you don't need to use knives when you harm people! ”

"Thank you Brother Cheng for reminding me!" Luo Cheng nodded lightly. "It turns out that I can't leave Youzhou, and I always think that the world is so big on my head. As a result, when I saw the real hero, I realized what I was. So this time the body is well-healed, I must go out to experience and learn a long way. ”

Hearing Luo Cheng mention Li Zhongjian, who made him suffer a big loss, Cheng Mingzhen couldn't help but sigh, "Yes; Counting it up, Cheng is really fortunate to have three lives, and he can be neighbors with hungry tigers every day! ”

"There's no need to be afraid of him. In the past few days, I have been thinking that with Brother Cheng's current strength, fighting with the hungry tiger must be empty words, and it may not be very difficult to find ways to stabilize the tiger! Luo Cheng thought about it, and as a parting gift, he solemnly suggested.

"Really?" Cheng Mingzhen was overjoyed and frowned.

"A gentleman is upright, why don't you deceive him? That guy has always prided himself on being loyal to the king and loving the people, and Brother Cheng ......" Luo Cheng took half a step forward, and the gods reminded him mysteriously. Halfway through the words, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the school grounds, Dou Hongxian was dressed as a noblewoman, carrying a pole and a horse lance, riding a white horse, followed by two empty saddle mounts, and rushed in in a panic.

"Ah, the county lord is here!". In the past ten days, everyone has been tired of seeing her pretending to be a noblewoman, and their eyes have brightened. Dou Hongxian didn't have time to talk to everyone, turned over and dismounted, threw the lance and the horse reins into Luo Cheng's arms, and ordered eagerly: "Hurry, go quickly." If you don't leave, it's too late! ”

"What's wrong? What are you crying about? Who's hard for you! Luo Cheng didn't know what to do, and when he saw that he was so anxious that Dou Hongxian's tears kept falling, he asked very angrily.

After knowing each other for so long, he has not seen Dou Hongxian cry a lot, but this time it was not because of him. When he was furious, he heard another wail in his ears, "If you are told to go, you can go, don't ask again." The dry food and the soft used for the road were on the back of the red horse, and the black horse was carrying water on its back. Let's go, my brother is coming to get you personally! ”

"What?" Not only Luo Cheng, but also Cheng Mingzhen were taken aback. Dou Jiande was obviously preparing to sacrifice to heaven and claim the throne in Liaocheng, why did he kill Xiangguo County again in a blink of an eye? And he didn't even say hello in advance and didn't fight with the people in the Chaozhou battalion? If he had other plans, now the low-level generals of the Zhaozhou battalion are leading the people everywhere to Tuntian, and I am afraid that it will not even be too late to rush back to "see the driver".

"Let's go, let's go!" In a series of urgings, Luo Cheng jumped on his mount in a panic. At this moment, he couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, he looked at Dou Hongxian, who was crying, and asked in a low voice, "What about you, do you want to come with me." I'm going to go south for a walk, you can come with me! ”

Dou Hongxian shook his head vigorously, trying to hold back his screams, but he couldn't control his eyes and throat at all. "I, I can't go. Brother, my brother said in the letter, if I am deceived by you, he will personally lead the army to Youzhou to ask for someone. I ......."

"Why doesn't Lao Dou talk about any reason!" Xiong Kuohai and the others originally looked at Dou Hongxian unpleasantly, but they were also filled with righteous indignation at this moment. In everyone's memory, Dou Jiande is a person who knows how to be restrained very well. Even if you are dissatisfied, you won't express it so directly and so unscrupulously. can see Dou Hongxian's expression, and he is not deliberately lying. Can't people be kings, change their titles, and their tempers will all change?

"If you want someone, I want it, I'm still afraid of him, Prince Dou!" Luo Cheng hated others for playing tricks on him the most, pricked up his eyes, and shouted. "Let's go, I'll take you to the south for a walk, and let your brother reason with my father. Look at the hard knife of the Youzhou Tiger Ben, or the hard fist of your brother! ”

Hearing him so impulsive, Dou Hongxian didn't dare to go with him. In fact, Dou Jiande's letter not only threatened Youzhou, but also claimed that if he could not see his sister when he arrived, he would punish everyone for the crime of poor protection. He and Luo Cheng can walk away, and Dou Jiajun may not be able to take Youzhou, but Cheng Mingzhen and Du Juan are subordinates of their brother Dou Jiande, and they can't resist their brother's thunder power regardless of reason and strength.

She didn't explain anymore, but the expression on her face became more and more sad. Luo Cheng's hand was empty for a long time, but he didn't see any movement from the other party. sighed, regardless of everyone's eyes, raised his palm and swore: "Your life-saving grace and the virtue of feeding medicine that day, I will never forget it in my life." If it is useful to me in the future, no matter how far away, send me a letter. No matter what you want me to do, even if you let Luo take his life and return it to you, I won't frown! ”

"No......." Dou Hongxian couldn't respond, squatting in a low voice and crying bitterly. At this moment, she no longer needs to pretend to be noble and strong. It's just that this truth showed a little later, Luo Cheng leaned out on the horse's back, hesitated, and finally turned his mount and let go of the reins.

An urgent horn sound exploded in the air, shattering the tranquility of spring. Hearing the sound of the horn, the children of Zhaozhou near Ping'en City put down their hoes and quickly approached the city.

Lord Dou, here.
