Chapter 2 Purple Horse

"I can kill you!" Cheng Mingzhen knocked on the door of the cuckoo's head again, and then slowly rubbed it with his hands. The chapter was uploaded by a netizen, and the net hereby affirms that he knows that it is a joke, and in the mouth of the juan, many people have been hacked to death many times. And in fact, those people are happily alive. Including the little apricot blossom that day, Juan Zi gritted her teeth when she mentioned her, but finally pushed her into her arms, preferring to be sad behind her back, and trying to end the regrets of her youth.

This affection is as blazing as fire, it is clearly placed there, even if you don't notice it for a while, and then slowly recall it, it will be like drinking alcohol. It doesn't make you feel tired, it doesn't make you feel guilty, it's just soft and intoxicated, and you enjoy the warmth and gentleness without distraction.

"You eat more!" Du Juan scooped up a small spoonful of porridge, put it to his mouth and gently cooled it, and then handed it to Cheng Mingzhen.

"Hmm!" Cheng Mingzhen agreed, and slowly swallowed the porridge into his mouth. "I'll do it myself!" He smiled at his wife, then snatched the spoon, "Don't be so sick that you won't even eat!" ”

The cuckoo didn't fight with him, handed over the spoon, and quietly watched Cheng Mingzhen eat. The two eyes were bright, revealing undisguised appreciation. Cheng Mingzhen was amused by her appearance and asked in a low voice, "What's there to see?" Hurry up and eat, it'll be cold for a while! ”

"Lang Jun's eyebrows are very thick, and the innermost position seems to be swirling!" The cuckoo responded without a word, "It's very beautiful, especially when you look at it from the side!" ”

"Just count how many eyebrows I've grown!" Cheng Mingzhen was angry and funny, and gently slapped the bowl on the low table, and teased in a low voice.

"I can't count, count today, and forget tomorrow!" The cuckoo shook his head slightly. Tsai carefully looked at Cheng Mingzhen, and she prayed in a low voice, "Don't you sleep like this in the future, right?" I'm really scared! ”

"Silly girl!" Cheng Mingzhen's heart warmed, took Du Juan's hand, and gently held it in his palm, "Just this once, I promise not to go again!" The first time I fought such a big battle, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, so I accidentally got too tired. As the saying goes, once born, twice cooked, next time you won't be tense all the time! ”

"I know that Lang Jun has a lot of things to take care of!" Du Juan also handed over his other hand and obediently let Cheng Mingzhen hold it. "But don't exhaust yourself. The concubine is stupid, and she can't say that she can't live a day without you. But when you are sick, the concubine body really feels like the sky is half falling! ”

"I will try to take care of the things that I can take care of less in the future!" Cheng Mingzhen nodded and solemnly assured. The wife is not a scheming person, just like a clear spring in the bay, so that people can see the bottom at a glance. It is precisely because of this that he feels relaxed and comfortable at home, and he no longer has to be affected by the messy things outside.

"Don't think about what you can!" The cuckoo looked at her husband with a blank eye and continued to pray. "Uncle Camel said you are emaciated. The concubine can't guess what you think, and she doesn't want to guess. But no matter what you plan, the concubine body supports. No matter where you go in the future, the concubine will follow without hesitation! ”

"This dead camel!" Cheng Mingzhen let go of a hand and gently pounded the ground. "Don't bother him. He is a good doctor, but the others are all nonsense. It's like fortune telling, nine out of ten times are not allowed! Where else can I go? You, my mother, and Ermao's family are all here. I can't leave you all behind?! Besides, right now, I'm the master of Julu Zejiu, and I've killed countless officials. When you leave Juluze, don't you hit the knife edge of the officers and soldiers? ”

"If you really don't like it here, we can also go to Taihang Mountain!" As if he hadn't heard Cheng Mingzhen's explanation, Du Juan held Cheng Mingzhen's hand with both hands, and promised softly, "The people of Hedong County will definitely not know you." It's quite peaceful over there, let's find a small place to settle down, buy a piece of land, and grow and eat by ourselves......"

This was something she had never thought before, Cheng Mingzhen suddenly became alert, "Did you listen to some gossip?" He asked, frowning, as he put his hand over and clasped the cuckoo's arm.

"Nope!" The cuckoo shook her head and dodged, but the panic in her eyes was caught by her husband, "The concubine really hasn't heard of anything?" But the concubine felt that she couldn't continue to hide ......, so she had to try to understate it as much as possible, "The concubine felt that the two of us, plus Grandpa, had more than half of Juluze's power." In the long run, there will definitely be people who will feel uncomfortable! Lang Jun is also a very capable fighter, and his name is getting louder and louder......"

These words are not something that Du Juan can think of alone. Cheng Mingzhen was surprised when he heard this, looked at the cuckoo, and asked in a low voice, "Is it my father-in-law who wants you to tell me these words?" Or do others want to wake me up through you! ”

The cuckoo is very good at martial arts, and he is very disciplined in leading troops to fight, and he is also quite prestigious among his minions. But he's not good at spending any time. When asked by her husband, her eyes immediately became a little flustered, she lowered her head and responded in a very small voice, "Also, it's not all Grandpa, but also Uncle Xue and Sixth Uncle Sun, all of whom said something secretly." In the past few days, Sister Liu'er has accompanied me to take care of you, and it seems that this meaning is also evident in her words! ”

"Oh!" Cheng Mingzhen nodded lightly and was silent. That's right, the old guys in Juluze are all human spirits, if you can't see that Zhang Jin intends to consolidate his own position and suppress the limelight of newcomers, it's strange! But the imbalance of power within Juluze was not formed in a day. Even if you take the initiative to back down, you still need time and means to proceed slowly, and you can't be in a hurry, but lose your inch.

Seeing that her husband's face was gloomy again, Du Juan couldn't help but panic, pulled Cheng Mingzhen's arm, and prayed in a low voice: "Don't you worry about it first?" It's because I can't hide something in my heart, and I shouldn't have told you this when you just happened to. Anyway, the two of us will always be together, no matter who wants to be bad for you, I will be the first to rush forward and use a knife with him! ”

"Not necessarily!" Cheng Mingzhen patted the back of Du Juan's hand with a smile and signaled her not to worry about herself, "The big boss is an understanding person, and without evidence, he will not easily doubt my loyalty." Besides, I can't really do anything with him, otherwise in the eyes of outsiders, wouldn't I be ungrateful? ”

"I just said if there was a day!" The cuckoo also smiled and responded in a low voice. From her husband's eyes, she could clearly see a little worry. However, since her husband refused to say it explicitly, she was also sensible not to get to the bottom of it.

Cheng Mingzhen nodded and continued to smile and said, "What else did Mrs. Liu'er tell you?" After all, she is a husband and wife with a big boss, and some things may not be completely casual. ”

"Do you mean, the big boss is telling us something that is inconvenient to say directly through Sister Liu'er's mouth?" The cuckoo was stunned, and a pair of big eyes instantly opened round, "I, I really didn't listen too carefully." I'm really useless, I keep thinking that she's just chatting casually! She patted her head in remorse, and then tried to recall, "She, he seems to have said that the big boss is going to double the size of the Sharp Battalion, and he will not discuss it with you until you are well." Also, it was said that the big boss was going to accept two people as righteous sons, and one seemed to be the person you came from Guantao County, called Zhou Lihu. The other one, it seems, seems to be Uncle Hao's subordinates, what is it called Yang Biao!"

"That's right!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and nodded. The combat effectiveness of the Rui Shi battalion is much higher than that of other minions, among which the soldiers are selected and sent by each village, centralized training, and centralized combat, but they are still subordinate to each village in peacetime, and it has nothing to do with Cheng Mingzhen, the head of the general coach, and Zhang Jincheng, the big boss.

Before the war, the number of Ruishi battalions was close to 20,000, of which about 4,000 came from the main village called by Zhang Jin, and the rest of the villages were 2,000. If the size of the Ruishi camp were to be doubled, at least 8,000 people would come from the main village that Zhang Jin said. And some of the rest of the villages can afford to produce more than 2,000 elites, but some can't get together these 2,000 qualified young men even if they fight for their lives. In this way, Zhang Jin said that he could generously fill the vacancy with people from his main village, and turn a quarter, or even a third, of the Ruishi battalion into his direct subordinates. In that way, the control of the Rui Shi Battalion was firmly in the hands of him, the big boss, and although Cheng Mingzhen was the head of the coach, he could no longer threaten the status of the big boss with the Rui Shi Battalion.

In addition, Zhou Lihu and Yang Biao are both famous generals in the Ruishi camp, and although their appeal is not as good as Wang Ermao, they are also extraordinary. Through the means of recognizing Yizi, Zhang Jin claimed to control them, which was equivalent to invisibly hollowing out a large part of Cheng Mingzhen's power, thereby curbing his increasingly prosperous limelight.

"By the way, what?" The cuckoo was puzzled.

"Zhang is a big boss, after all, he is a big boss!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled, his face full of admiration. Although he knew that Zhang Jin's tricks were aimed at him, he felt a lot more relaxed. This kind of method is better than a direct collision between the two sides and five steps of blood flow. Besides, I didn't want to sit on Zhang Jincheng's top spot, so there was really no need to fight hard.

"Grandpa also said so, and said that if the scale of the Ruishi camp is expanded, he will not be out, let the two of us make up two thousand young people for him!" Cuckoo smiled and pouted, "I think he is getting older and more confused, let's make up for him, when the time comes, it will be ours or his?" ”

"Uncle Yue, he has a good intention!" Cheng Mingzhen gently stroked his wife's show and responded with a smile. "If the scale is expanded, I think the two of us will be counted as one village. The two of us are a family, and the village can't still stand alone! ”

To this, the cuckoo is one hundred and twenty supports. Cheng Mingzhen's subordinates were all made up for him by others, and in terms of capita, he is the smaller one in Juluze. If the brocade camp is combined, the momentum will immediately be different. After the couple's village was merged, it also saved the cuckoo from running back and forth by himself, and he was delayed on the road for a lot of time every day. ，

"After the merger, it's still called Jinzi Camp, I like the name!" Cheng Mingzhen struck while the iron was hot and decided without arguing. "You are also the owner of the village, I want to take care of the training of the Ruishi Battalion, I can't take care of it!"

"Ahh Du Juan blinked his eyes for a while, and he didn't understand what the meaning of Cheng Mingzhen's actions was. She didn't want to disobey her husband's orders, so she just nodded slightly. Cheng Mingzhen saw it, knocked her with a smile again, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates are all made up by everyone, with mixed sources and many ideas, which are not easy to master." It's your Jinzi camp, which has been with you for so many years, and is trustworthy. If the big boss wants to consolidate his position and strengthen his control over the Ruishi Battalion, we will definitely do our best to support him. But our own camp should also be taken care of, and don't let outsiders see the jokes! ”

This is already an obvious concession and self-preservation, even if the cuckoo is simple-minded, she can clearly hear her husband's intentions. smiled and nodded slightly, "I listen to you, but you don't care too much!" ”

"Nothing to worry about." Cheng Mingzhen shook his head with a smile, his face unconsciously showed a little bitterness, I entered Juluze, originally to survive, and I didn't plan to fight for the limelight. Besides, the big boss has a life-saving grace for me, and I can't bear him, let alone ........"

Before he could finish speaking, the cuckoo gently held his big hand again, "If you don't fight, I won't fight." If you don't have a good time, I'll leave with you!" Anyway, the savings in our hands are enough to live happily for decades! ”

"Not for decades! I'm ......" Cheng Mingzhen quickly looked outside, and slowly lowered his voice, "I still have a big treasure in my hand, the master gave it to me, I'll show you the treasure map another day!" ”

"Really!" The cuckoo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he came over like a money fan, "Then let's just leave tomorrow and find a place to be a rich man." Buy a hundred acres of good land and build a big mansion again......"

The husband and wife laughed stupidly, knowing that this could only be said, and it could not be true at all. Regardless of whether the two of them are famous green forest figures, they will definitely be hunted down by the government after leaving Zedi. It's just that the government doesn't have the time to take care of the two, looking at the world of the Great Sui, where can people buy houses and land, and live in peace.

Laughing enough, Cheng Mingzhen sighed and said in a low voice: "I'm going to go to Ermao's house for a while." His mother is such a son, and when she heard the unfortunate news, the old man ......"

Speaking of Wang Ermao, Du Juan's eyes became brighter, "His mother and her sister are fine, these days, my mother has gone over to talk to them every day!" The old man was very anxious at first, but later heard that Wang Ermao was not dead, so he believed it! ”

"Wang Ermao is not dead?" Cheng Ming sat up straight and almost knocked over the dwarf in front of him, "Who made up nonsense to deceive the old man, this, what if this is debunked in the future?" ”

"Ermao doesn't seem to be dead!" Du Juan smiled and nodded, glad that he had finally found a relaxing topic, "Zhang Zhupi sent someone to inquire repeatedly, but they didn't find Wang Ermao from the level that Wei Wensheng's old guy hung out. According to the news sent back by the spies, Wei Wensheng seems to have suffered a lot of losses, and since he entered Liyang, he has hid in the mansion and refused to show his face! ”

"This, impossible, simply impossible!" Cheng Mingzhen shook his head again and again, unable to believe the news conveyed by Du Juan. He hopes that his good friend is safe, but 500 lightly armed minions are against 5,000 officers and soldiers, and it is strange that he can get out smoothly!

The spies later reported that at least 2,000 new graves had been erected on the banks of the Yellow River. There are at least a thousand corpses lying on the ice that no one has picked up! The cuckoo thought for a moment and continued to add.

Cheng Mingzhen was more and more surprised, staring at him and asking, "You mean that someone ambushed Wei Wensheng?" ”

"Hmmm! A very powerful character. According to rumors, the 5,000 cavalry under Wei Wensheng's department did not please at all, until more than 10,000 foot soldiers arrived behind, and the other party saw that the momentum was not good, so he calmly retreated! Zhang Da is sending someone to find out who did this, but he hasn't heard any news! The cuckoo nodded slightly, his eyes also full of puzzlement.
