Chapter 2: Visiting the West (Part 4)

On the way home, the north wind was stronger. The bean-sized stone was swept up by the wind and smashed on the person's body and face, and the person was in pain. Wang Ermao sat in the carriage, too lazy to pay attention to Cheng Mingzhen, who was catching the car. But he was so annoyed by the noise of the wind outside, he kicked the front of the carriage a few times, and asked loudly: "Did you take the wrong medicine today?!" Or was you beaten up stupid in prison? People say that the hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of taking one's wife ......"

"Little Apricot Blossom is my cousin!" Cheng Mingzhen inhaled the clear snot that came out of the freeze, and responded sullenly. There were no other living creatures on the official road leading to Guantao County except for their carriage. The darkness of the night was as thick as ink, but in the depths of that darkness, there seemed to be some kind of demon and monster hidden. Constantly tempting people to come over and see, and keep whispering in the wind.

"Then you let her go at most. There is no reason to put a piece of the surname Zhou?! Wang Ermao pounded the carriage with a bang, "Chop the grass and eradicate the roots, haven't you heard?" The family surnamed Zhou has a big business, in case he really moved from the court to rescue the soldiers......"

"Xinghua likes him!" The angry questioning was again interrupted by a helpless response. Wang Ermao froze for a moment, and the force of his fist was miscontrolled, and he smashed on the carriage with a muffled sound, and at the same time he grinned in pain.

In terms of age, he is a few months younger than Cheng Mingzhen, and he is ignorant about the affairs of men and women. Listening to the chatter of the batons who are older than him on the dock, the only concept of a beautiful woman who is not his own family is, "***, when Lao Tzu has money, marry and go home!" Later, he mixed into the county yamen, and the people he dealt with all day long were scum like Li Laojiu and Jiang Ye, and the concept of women "evolved" to "find an opportunity to hook up and have a good day". Further back. In order to rescue Cheng Mingzhen, he angrily threw himself into Juluze, and the experience he learned was even more straightforward. "Directly pushed down and stripped off her clothes, she can still come out of the sky..."

interpreting Cheng Mingzhen's actions with this kind of life experience, of course, is how awkward it is. But vaguely, Wang Ermao felt that his good friend's answer contained a kind of incomprehensible resentment and sadness. For a while, he was a little stupid, holding his red and swollen fists, and looked around in the carriage blankly.

The interior of the carriage is gorgeously decorated, and through the candlelight of the lanterns, you can see the vivid lacquer painting on the surface of the roof and walls. The painting is a high-ranking monk preaching in public, moving heaven and earth. Countless fairies threw their petals from the sky, and the flowers fell colorfully. It's just that the fairies are very poorly dressed, most of them are barefoot, with half of their thighs exposed, and only a veil is hung on a few arms, and two towering masses loom on their chests.

"Where is this preaching, it's clearly a monk in the sky who opened a kiln!" Thinking quickly was attracted by the wall painting, Wang Ermao muttered quietly. This carriage was not copied by his dealership. Lao Gao, who drove the car, was a distant relative of Guo Zhutou, and he relied on the big backer behind him to instigate the coachmen under his command to rampage on the streets of Guantao County. On the morning of the second day after the city was broken, Han Gesheng was ordered to lead a team to raid the carriage and horse shop. From seventy-year-old people to five-year-old children, as long as they are "with handles", they will all be killed.......

The carriage in the car dealership, according to the rules, should be counted as a trophy of war, and handed over to the big boss for unified deployment. But this rule has never been implemented very seriously in Zhang Jiajun. Wang Ermao also followed the customs, picked up the best of them and kept two, one was given to Cheng Mingzhen's family, and the mother of a good friend went out to the times. The other was used by his wife and three sisters, and the horses were the most robust maroon dragons.......

I hadn't looked closely at it before. Nowadays, I can't put down such an interesting wall painting. Thinking that such an interesting carriage was actually given to the pair of dog men and women by Cheng Mingzhen, and in an instant, the fire in Wang Ermao's stomach erupted from his nostrils again, "I gave you that carriage." You actually gave it away? , Lao Tzu's lifelong friendship with you is not as good as a bitch in the end! ”

"Next time I break another city, I'll grab a bigger one for you." Cheng Mingzhen felt his loss and responded in a low voice. "Otherwise, I'll go to the second master's house tomorrow to see if there's anything better. Ask for another one for you! Anyway, when it comes to Juluze, the carriage is useless at all! ”

"Which one wants you to pay back! Julu Zezhong can't be used, and when you move to Julu Zezhong, can't you use it? Wang Ermao heard that his meaning was deliberately misinterpreted by his good friend, and the more annoyed he became, he kicked the front carriage board with his feet hard, and asked loudly, "You still dare to go to Xue Dangjia to ask for something, do you think about how to explain tonight's matter to the fourth master!" He's worried that he can't find your shortcomings! Hum! Privately release repeat offenders, see how you explain to everyone! ”

When the words fell, the two of them were taken aback at the same time. Just now he was planning how to save people, but he put aside the military discipline that Zhang Jiajun had just promulgated behind his mind. Wang Mazi, the fourth master in charge of military discipline, seems to have been looking at Cheng Mingzhen unpleasantly, and now he is in his hands.......

There was silence inside and outside the car. Only the north wind is still howling, blowing a cold heart. After a moment of silence, Wang Ermao muttered: "After we go back, we will say that we are angry and kill the two of them in advance!" Anyway, it's not a big shot, it's dead, and no one will trouble you because of two death row inmates! ”

His words went unanswered. Cheng Mingzhen, who was outside the carriage, seemed to be stupid, and waved his whip indifferently, urging the livestock to move forward. "Shall I give you an idea? Don't tell the truth when you go back! ”

"Hmmm! Alas! Cheng Mingzhen sighed softly. Master said that he was too impulsive in doing things, and he was always swayed by the good or evil of one thought. These things are done tonight! Alas, isn't that what the master has to say?

He suffered some grievances for the sake of Xiao Xinghua, and he didn't care. The other party left a beautiful shadow in his childhood, which is unforgettable, but he must not bear to be hurt by others. But for the sake of eating military sticks surnamed Zhou, it is a little too stupid. That's his enemy, even if it's not a wife-stealing hatred, but he really wanted his life!

Thinking of this, Cheng Mingzhen faintly felt a little regretful. Why are you so stupid? As soon as I saw Xiao Xinghua crying, I forgot about military discipline! I always want to meet her requirements like I did when I was a child, and I look at her tears and laugh! And the attention to strictly enforcing military discipline was still weighed by Zhang Jin. This time, alas! It's like a cocoon.

"I can't stand you! Don't forget the things you promised me! Wang Ermao pursed his lips and admonished loudly.

Cheng Mingzhen once again ignored his words very rudely, pricked up his ears, and frowned.

"Hey, hey, scared silly? I thought you Cheng Xiaojiu didn't know to be afraid! Wang Ermao was so angry that he continued to knock on the carriage, "It's not a big deal." As long as you don't say it, I won't say it......"

"Whisper!" Cheng Mingzhen gently stabbed the carriage back with a horsewhip, signaling Wang Ermao not to make a noise. In the night wind, he faintly heard a few neighing horses. As if frozen, it just sounded and then quickly disappeared.

In such a cold weather with a dog's teeth, there will never be a traveler riding a horse. Stopping the carriage suddenly, he jumped down and put his ear to the cold official road. For a moment, the chill on the ground almost suffocated him. Immediately, he heard the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground more clearly, "Of, of, ......of,

"What's wrong?" Wang Ermao also sensed that the atmosphere around him was wrong. I opened the door and jumped down gently. Cheng Mingzhen waved his hand, signaling him not to make any movement. Then he tiptoed to the side of the carriage, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and cleanly untied the horse pulling the carriage from the carriage and stuffed it into Wang Ermao's hand.

Wang Ermao's eyes instantly widened, and he opened his mouth to protest. Cheng Ming Zhenxun blocked his mouth, leaned into his ear and whispered: "There is a group of people in the distance, at least hundreds of war horses. Hurry back and report the news, and ask Zhang Da to call all the brothers up and fight outside the city! ”

"What about you!" Wang Ermao was so frightened that he asked in a hoarse voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll figure out how to get out on my own!" Cheng Mingzhen glared at him fiercely. "Get on the horse, if you don't want to die here, hurry up! The horse can't carry two people, once the official army succeeds, tens of thousands of brothers will not be able to escape! ”

"Little Brother Jiu!" Wang Ermao's eyes turned red, and his voice immediately changed tone. I want to say that our brothers live and die together, look at Cheng Mingzhen's resolute face, gritted his teeth, and flew to jump on the mount.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the official road, and they drifted in all directions in the north wind. There was a slight pause in the faint noise in the distance, and then it became clear, closer and closer, closer and closer.

"Yes! Yes, yes! "At least a thousand or more war horses gallop together to make such a big move. After the sound of horses' hooves, there was the sound of the clash of iron and the clanging of armor. Intertwined with the wind and wolf howls in the wilderness, it converges into a broad melody.

The people who came must have been officers and soldiers. Only the officers and soldiers are worthy of so many war horses and iron armor. These voices Cheng Mingzhen sounded so kind, when he was a child, every time he was secretly brought into the Great Sui military camp by his father, the most envious thing was the mighty figures on the war horses.

But now, he has to stand in the way of the other party.

"I owe you something!" Looking back at the direction of Tao County, he wiped the bitterness from the corners of his mouth vigorously. Dare to attack Guantao on such a cold winter night, the person who uses the soldiers is definitely not Wang Shichong's half bucket of water. If Zhang Jincheng is not given enough time to prepare, the cuckoo will die without a place to be buried.

He got into the carriage, took out the butter candle from the lantern, and lit the decorations in the carriage. The monks, the flying fairies, and the Buddhas in the clouds all danced in the flames, and they came to life in an instant. In the faint sound of Sanskrit singing, Cheng Mingzhen jumped out of the burning carriage, held the torches made of the top beams of the two carriages, and ran to the grass on the side of the road on the north side. The dry grass on the surface of the remnants of snow was rubbed by the torches and immediately began to burn. The north wind blew sparks and smoke southward, igniting more of the grass that was bubbling out of the snow surface. The thin layer of snow was quickly roasted, and more weeds under the snow smoked and slowly merged into a sea of fire.

Above the sea of fire, there was a proud figure of a young man, running gently.
