"What's the matter, is it hard to do them a favor?" The old lady was taken aback by her son's performance, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked in a low voice.

"It's not too hard. But you need to think about it! Cheng Mingzhen didn't want his mother to worry about his heart, so he smiled and whispered relief. I know that Wang Bo, and he once mixed under Zhang Da's master. Later, I voted for Dou Jiande! I just didn't expect him to switch to Datang so quickly! ”

"Oh. That's to be careful. This kind of person is unreliable! "Although the old lady doesn't ask about outside things, she has her own principles of life.

"Let's figure out what Xinghua wants me to help with first, and then let's talk about it!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and nodded, then grabbed the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat. On the surface, it looks like it is eating with relish, but there are bouts of nausea in the stomach.

If he said that he was the most reluctant to deal with anyone in Hebei back then, Zhishilang Wang Bo was probably still ranked before Dou Jiande. Although the latter has a wide temperament and a strong personality, he still retains a trace of the bottom limit of being a man in his heart. And Zhishilang Wang Bo belongs to the kind of real villain, who doesn't even bother to find excuses for doing evil.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Bo has far deeper green forest qualifications than Dou Jiande and others, but he can only give Dou Jiande and others a hand. No one wants to have a knife behind their back all the time, not even the most vicious person. Back then, Zhishilang Wang Bo led a group of deserters who were unwilling to go to Liaodong to die, raised the banner of righteousness, and created the original "Death Song of Liaodong Waves", which also inspired countless heroes to rise up and resist. But after raising the banner of rebellion, this army, which was composed entirely of victims, turned around and began to plague people who were suffering as hard as themselves. They burned, killed and looted in Henan, and razed many villages to the ground. It was repeatedly defeated by the official army, and repeatedly made a comeback.

In the eighth year of the Great Cause, Wang Bo was defeated by Zhang Xutuo and retreated to Hebei in a hurry. A year later, 16 Hebei Haojie were contacted to go south. As a result, Zhang Xutuo was defeated again, and thirteen of the sixteen heroes died, only Wang Bo and Sun Xuanya, and Hao Xiaode were the first to escape from the battlefield because they saw the opportunity quickly, taking advantage of the efforts of others to send them to death, and then escaped from the sky again.

After that, Wang Bo took refuge in Gaoshida when Gaoshida was strong. When Zhang Jin claimed to be strong, he betrayed Gao Shida and took refuge in Zhang Jin. Zhang Jin claimed to have encountered Li Zhongjian in Xindu, and Wang Bo, who was Zhang Jin's main ally, was the first to leave the battlefield. Subsequently, Zhang Jin claimed that his army was defeated, and soon died at the hands of Yang Baiyan, Wang Bo changed his body and returned to Gao Shida's command.

Immediately after, Gao Shida fought Li Zhongjian and Yang Yichen on the banks of the Zhangshui River. Wang Bo once again withdrew from the battlefield ahead of schedule. As a result, the Gao Shida army was trapped in a desperate situation and the whole army was annihilated. He was not ashamed of this move at all, but led the remnants to retreat into Douzigang, and together with Dou Jiande, he raised the banner of revenge for Gao Shida.

Subsequently, there was a lot of dirt between Wang Bo and Dou Jiande. Rebellion from time to time. Yu Wenhua was defeated by the Wagang army and fled to Hebei. Wang Bo was the first to raise troops to greet him. Yu culture and Daxi, entrusted with important tasks. But in a blink of an eye, Wang Bo sold Liaocheng to Dou Jiande again, claiming that he was ordered by Dou Jiande to go undercover to Yu Wenhua and his subordinates.

is such a capricious villain who makes an oath today and will be left behind tomorrow, but he has never been swallowed up by the troubled times. Now that Datang's strength is higher than Dou Jiande's, Wang Bo saw that the wind was not in the right direction, so he took the initiative to announce that he would be the governor of Qizhou in Datang thousands of miles away.

A capricious villain is enough to make Cheng Ming's head shake. plus a sinister and vicious Zhou Wen, who dares to mix in it again? Moreover, the place of Lu County is far away in a corner of Henan, and the actual control range of Datang is still separated from Dazheng established by Wang Shichong. If one day the Tang Army had a slight disadvantage in the war on the Eastern Front, who would have predicted that Wang Bo would sell Lu County to Wang Shichong under the banner of being an undercover agent for Da Zheng Guo. Anyway, he has sold it more than once or twice, and he is already familiar with it.

As soon as Cheng Mingzhen fell into deep thought, the atmosphere in the room immediately became dull. The old lady always knew the severity and did not dare to push her son too much. Du Juan didn't have any good feelings for Wang Bo and Zhou Wen, and she wouldn't take the initiative to ask her husband to stand up for these two people. There are only two children, and they don't feel the change in the atmosphere at all, so they scoop a spoonful of sweet sour plum juice from you, and a spoonful of me, and they are very happy.

After a while, Xiao Xinghua had enough of crying outside, wiped away her tears, and crept in. Seeing that everyone was eating with their heads bored, he suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart, smiled, and ordered the child in a low voice, "Have you finished eating?" After eating, I said goodbye to my aunt, uncle, and concubine, and took the sour plum juice to my house to drink! ”

The two children had long been unwilling to suffer at the dinner table, so they got up very obediently to say goodbye and walked away laughing. Listening to the children's laughter, Xiao Xinghua looked out, straightened her clothes, and slowly knelt down. "Cousin, I ......"

"Get up, hurry up, what are you doing here?" Cheng Mingzhen and Du Juan were taken aback, and both stood up and stepped forward to help.

"I, I'm ......." Xiao Xinghua struggled to get up, tears rolling down her face. Cousin, I, our family is sorry for you. But, but the child, the child, the child should not die. As long as you save the child, even if our husband and wife die, we will repay you in the next life! ”

"What are these words?" The cuckoo took a half step back and replied with a frown. "What the hell is going on, if you don't make it clear, how can we make the two of us agree!"

"I, I'm ......" Xiao Xinghua shrank for a moment, and the more confused her words became.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhushi knew that if his niece continued to cry, it would only make things worse, so he knocked down the table with chopsticks and ordered in a low voice: "Stand up and speak, you kid, he is your cousin after all, when he can help, will he leave it alone?" ”

Xiao Xinghua didn't dare to disobey her aunt's orders, and stood up in a choked voice. At this moment, she didn't dare to maintain her dignity and pride anymore, and the weakness and sadness in her heart were exposed, "I, I don't dare to ask my cousin for anything else, I just want to live here for a while." Three months, no, no, a month! ”

"Zhou Wen told you so!" Cheng Mingzhen felt irritable for a while, and he didn't care about his mother's presence, frowning and asking.

"Hmm!" Xiao Xinghua choked up and replied. Tears rolled down the back of his thin hand, but he didn't bother to wipe it.

"What did he do when he went to Jingshi? Can you tell me more about that? Cheng Mingzhen groaned slightly and continued to ask.

"He, after he left Guantao, has been following different people. Later, those people were defeated, and he followed Wang Bo! Seeing that her cousin's attitude had loosened, Xiao Xinghua quickly sorted out her flustered thoughts and described it intermittently. Some time ago, Wang Boxian Dou Jiande couldn't make the climate, so he asked someone to contact Chang'an. Then the imperial court granted Wang Bo's request and named him the governor of Qizhou. Ordered him to go to Beijing to meet the emperor. Wang Bo didn't dare to come, so he sent the prime minister as an envoy. Walking on the road, my husband and wife heard that you were in the party, so we decided to separate. He continued to go to Jingshi and asked me to take the child to you temporarily! ”

Looking at Xiao Xinghua's helpless eyes, Cheng Mingzhen felt pity and bitterness in his heart. At the same age, Xiao Xinghua looks at least ten years older than Cuckoo, if it weren't for growing up together, even Cheng Mingzhen himself wouldn't be convinced, and his cousin is only in his early twenties today.

But this matter is indeed very difficult to mix. Zhishilang Wang Bo is known for his decisiveness and courage to betray. And His Majesty the Emperor in the court never gave a second chance to those who dared to betray him. When he was hesitating to weigh all kinds of interests, he suddenly heard his mother sigh and asked in a low voice: "You, did your father-in-law tell you?" So Wang Bo is really surrendering this time, or is he stepping on two boats! ”

"Xianggong didn't say anything!" Xiao Xinghua wiped her face and sobbed in response. But, he said that even if Wang Bo rebelled again, he would not follow. I'd rather wait for the Beijing division to be killed by the Tang Emperor. It's okay, it's good to change the peace of the child! ”

With that, he squatted on the ground and wailed.

"Alas! You kid! Cheng's mother shook her head and stepped forward to pull her niece up. Stay there. Even if you come to me, you don't count as your cousin. A lot of things, he can't help himself! ”

Xiao Xinghua didn't dare to respond, turned her head, and looked at her cousin and sister-in-law with tears in her eyes. At this time, Cheng Mingzhen had already guessed the truth in his heart, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "Stay, you can stay as long as you want." When Zhou Wen feels safe, when will he naturally come to pick you up! ”

"Cousin." Xiao Xinghua broke free from her aunt's support and knelt down again, "I can't live with you in this life." ....... next life"

"Is there a next life, but let's talk about it!" The cuckoo sighed and stepped forward to pull the little apricot blossom up hard. She was so strong that the other party couldn't resist at all, "Since you have already come, there is no reason to drive you out." But you should also be more careful not to get your cousin in too much trouble. To tell you the truth, your husband is ........"

"No, no!" Xiao Xinghua was so frightened that she waved her hand again and again, "Before coming, he told me." In fact, back then, it was his family who was sorry for his cousin first. It's just, it's just ...... at the time."

"It's just that at the time, he was used to it. You don't think of your cousin at all, do you? Cheng Mingzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head and said. Damn Zhou Wen, he was at the end of his rope, and he calculated himself again. guessed his own character, he would not drive his cousin's mother and son out of the house, let alone kill the child to vent his anger. In that way, even if Wang Bo rebelled in the future, Zhou Wen, who was Wang Bo's important arm, was connected and was in a different place. Under their own protection, the two children can also grow up safely and become * people! Good calculation, really shrewd to the end of the good calculation.

"Hmm!" Xiao Xinghua bit her lower lip and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Now, I finally know how to treat others as human beings!" The cuckoo grinned wryly. Xiao Xinghua didn't dare to look at her eyes, lowered her head, and wept silently.

The husband and wife couldn't make up their minds to drive people away, so they had to allow Xiao Xinghua's mother and son to stay. But my stomach felt very depressed, and I was more panicked than if I lost the battle. In the middle of the night, Du Juan still felt indignant, pinched Cheng Mingzhen's strong chest, and asked in a low voice: "You say, why are the two of them so thick-skinned, they really dare to send the child to you?" ”

"Maybe my mother is right, desperate!" Cheng Mingzhen sighed, depressed and proud. Even the enemies of life and death want to take advantage of their good side, and they are really enough failures in this life.

"You say, those two children are really only three years old?" Du Juan thought about it, but still felt unwilling, propped up her head, looked into her husband's eyes and asked.

**'s afterglow hasn't faded, and her face is as gorgeous as a peach blossom. Cheng Mingzhen couldn't help but lean his head over and gently touched his wife's lips, "What are you thinking?" If it's my child, she still has to go to so much trouble begging me? Directly let the two children come over and call Grandpa, what else can you and I do besides admitting it? ”

"That's right, tiger poison doesn't eat children!" The cuckoo was softened by her husband's smell, smiled, and slowly lay down again. Pulled a strong hand and rubbed it up and down on his lower abdomen, "It's okay if it's not." Otherwise, why could she conceive two in one night? The concubine body has not yet come to fruition? ”

"Besides, it wasn't you who tossed around back then, how could you make such a big misunderstanding today!" Cheng Mingzhen turned over and stood up, looking for his wife's neck with his lips, "You say, how should you be punished for your husband?"

"You, you're ......" The cuckoo struggled a few times and hugged her husband tightly. She won't let it go, even if the kid is really Cheng Mingzhen's, she won't let it go. No one, not even the poor little crying ghost.

The husband and wife are anxious to ask for a child, so they are desperately giving and taking. When the storm slowly returned to tranquility, the cuckoo grabbed the sweat towel at the head of the bed, wiped her husband's forehead, wiped her own face, reminisced for a moment, and whispered, "Actually, it would be good if it was true." At least your flesh and bones! ”

"It's not like that! You cautious guy! Cheng Mingzhen stretched out his hand and scratched the other party's nose, scolding with a smile.

"You say, let's leave the child and consider him your godson, okay?" The cuckoo ducked back, then asked faintly.

"What are you talking about, sooner or later we will have our own son!" Cheng Mingzhen was slightly dissatisfied, glanced at his wife, and retorted in a low voice.

"Otherwise, why should we give the white son surnamed Zhou. Recognize one of them as your adopted son, and no one in the two families will suffer! Cuckoo thought for a moment and continued to suggest.

"I'm killing you!" Cheng Mingzhen grabbed his wife's hand and scolded in a low voice.

Soon the sound of wind and rain sounded in the room again, and it was peaceful, piercing through the long night. In another corner of the long night, Zhu Xinghua, who was tossing and turning, sat up and lit the candle in front of the dresser.

In the jumping candlelight, she saw a haggard face. I didn't feel it when I didn't see my acquaintances, but compared to the cuckoo, I realized that I was aging so fast. But who is to blame for this? Thinking of the choice she made back then, she didn't dare to regret it at all. Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous, and since they have chosen, they have to pay the price for it. The road is all walked by itself, and no one can complain.

It's just that the words spoken by the husband and wife before parting are still fresh in their memories. She remembers that during the trip with her husband, she counted her bosses, colleagues, relatives and friends. After counting, the only one who can be sure that he will not fall into the well for his mother and son is only his cousin Cheng Mingzhen.

At that time, her husband's wry smile was so desolate.
