Yin Zheng Sanke, located in a village on the outskirts of Gu'an.

Liu Zheng and the three of them drove three horses to stop in front of a dilapidated house in the faint sky, the horses automatically lay down, Zhao Qian jumped off the horse, and came out when the oil lamp was lit at the first door.

Zhu Ming tied the horse, took the overlord gun, and walked into the door with Liu Zheng, who was on crutches, Liu Zheng was relieved until he sat on the bed, rubbing the inner thighs that were grinding hot on both sides, and neighed in pain.

In front of him, Zhao Qian and Zhu Ming were roughly cleaning up the room, Liu Zheng couldn't help but be in a trance, and at the same time he was tired, his heart was still indescribably heavy.

Running all the way, before he went out in a hurry, he forgot to ask passers-by, and when he arrived in Dingxing, he determined that more than 200 people could not be cavalry, most of them were infantry, and they were definitely not as fast as his horseback, Liu Zheng calculated that he must have gone the wrong way.

After asking passers-by, sure enough, I hadn't seen a large number of people passing by Dingxing, Liu Zheng scolded his mother even more in his heart, to be able to think of this kind of cunning idea, it must be Zhang Fei's lively guy.

Later, Zhu Ming and Zhao Calf caught up, the three of them filled their stomachs in Dingxing, rested, Zhu Ming and Zhao Calf chatted about Liu Zheng letting the horses sit down, Liu Zheng simply said that he had a unique ability to the royal horse, and could communicate with the horse, Zhu Ming and Zhao Calf breathed a sigh of relief, confirmed that it was not the horse that became a fine, and then admired Liu Zheng even more, and even a little shocked.

But this topic only lasted for a moment, and was interrupted by Liu Zheng, and the three discussed the whereabouts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Zhao Qian analyzed that if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei really wanted to lead the troops to attack Cheng Zhiyuan, whether it was the reason that Cheng Zhiyuan's army was located in the Zhongshan border southwest of Zhuo County, or Huo Nu and others led the way, they would definitely pass through Gu'an.

First, there are only two roads from Zhuo County to Zhongshan Kingdom, since there is no official road from Zhuo County to Dingxing to Fanyang, then Guan Yu Zhang Fei must have walked from Zhuo County to the southwest of Zhongshan County, and then from Zhuo County to the south-southwest direction, to Gu'an, and then south to Beixincheng, and then to Zhongshan Kingdom.

After all, there are more than 200 of them, and in fact, there is not much food and grass, and if they want to supply, they must rely on the city.

Second, Huo Nu who led the way is a native of Gu'an, Huo Nu has been a ranger in Gu'an in the past, and he is quite famous, and Gu An is also the main area for Huo Nu to join the Yellow Turban Thief to develop believers, as long as someone here knows that Huo Nu is tied up, he will definitely save people with his life, and from the ranger to the moth thief, I am afraid that both sides will contribute, and the people who will be summoned at that time will even have the power to destroy Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's entire team.

Knowing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei might be led by Huo Nu to throw themselves into the net, Liu Zheng was anxious, and hurried towards Gu'an, but because of the fatigue of the horses, he stopped and went, so that it was almost time - that is, five o'clock in the morning, to Zhao Qian's house.

"My lord, the humble house is simple, you will be on it. Brother Zhu, will you and I go to investigate the situation again? ”

After about to finish cleaning, Zhao Qian picked up the ring knife again, but his face was tired, and his legs were a little trembling because the horse had been sitting for a long time.

Zhu Ming picked up the ring knife and was about to go out, Liu Zheng waved his hand, "Okay, I'm tired like this, don't go out." If you have already rushed over in advance, you are not afraid of missing it, and even if you miss this time, you can catch up. Rest and recuperate. And the horses are also tired, I made them strong before, and they really can't run. ”

He glanced around and lay on the bed, "Just a mat, let's sleep together." Lay down sideways and make do. ”

Zhu Ming was stunned, sleeping in the same bed these years is the treatment of a confidant, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, "The lord ......"

"Don't say anything more, it's an order. When I wake up, I have to rely on you, and I can't go far with a cane. Rest well. I'm really tired, let's lie down for a while. ”

Liu Zheng closed his eyes after speaking, the road was non-stop, he was really tired.

Zhao Li's eyes were slightly red, very moved, and then laughed, "Thank you, lord." ”

"This is your home, what are you polite to me? It's all rough guys, don't say you can't sleep together, lie down quickly...... Well, stop talking, turn off the lights and go to bed......"

The last voice was as low as a mosquito, Zhu Ming didn't refuse anymore, but he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Qian, his eyes flickered, and he was shocked.

In fact, Zhu Ming was still a little relieved in his heart, after all, Zhao Qian had just surrendered yesterday, and he was still a person from Huo Nu before.

When he was in the village, there were many people, and Zhu Ming could rest assured, but now that he was in Gu'an, it belonged to Zhao Qian's territory, if Zhao Qian's thief heart did not die, whether it was the same house and different hearts, or went outside to gather people, I am afraid that the two of them would die.

But Zhao Li's expression as if he was moved by Liu Zheng's willingness to let him sleep with him was not fake, Zhu Ming glanced a few times, and noticed that Zhao Li's gaze also swept over, his mind changed sharply, put down the ring knife, and lay down on the bed, "Brother Zhao, let's sleep together." ”

"Hey."

Zhao Qian nodded, his heart warmed, and he looked at the two of them sleeping sideways with clothes, clearly trusting him, and then closed the door lightly, took the quilt that had just been put on the table to cover Liu Zheng and Zhu Ming, turned off the lights and climbed into bed, and slept with clothes.

After a while, Zhu Ming, who had been closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, opened his eyes, listened to Zhao Li's heavy breathing for a long time, calmed down, admired Liu Zheng's employment without doubt, and fell asleep.

At the same time, Liu Zheng stood in a daze in the dream, looking at a hanging silk painting in front of him.

The painting shows a man wearing a smock, with long hair tied up, holding a bamboo slip in his right hand and pressing his left hand on a sword at his waist.

But although the painting is good, it lacks charm.

Just because the man's face was blank.

And this is also the reason why Liu Zheng was really stunned.

In fact, the painting itself has no meaning to Liu Zheng.

He doesn't know how to draw, he doesn't know how to draw, the only thing he cares about is that the painting seems to be painting him, otherwise he wouldn't have no face.

At the same time, in his long silence, Xun Cai, who was the owner of the dream, was also silent, which made Liu Zheng feel even more indescribable.

Could it be that those words last time ...... Helped?

Xun Cai is shy not to speak, and this painting also shows that she wants to know her face?

Liu Zheng was stunned for a long time, thinking about what was wrong, and after a long time, he decided to break the silence, and said: "Miss Xun is really superb in painting. ”

There was no sound beside him.

Liu Zheng was stunned, looked at Xun Cai who was sitting next to the desk, and watched her sit on her knees, holding her blurred face facing forward, not facing herself at all, and couldn't help but say again: "Miss Xun? ”

Still no response.

Liu Zheng walked to the opposite side of the desk and sat down, "Miss Xun? ”

"Ahh Liu...... Liu Gongzi, when did you come? ”

Xun Cai suddenly exclaimed, then suddenly turned his head to face the silk painting, stretched out his hand and pointed, and the painting disappeared into the room.

I was in a daze...... But does this kind of behavior that wants to cover up mean something?

Liu Zheng's heart moved, and even the boredom and fatigue caused by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's self-assertion before were eliminated by the scene in front of him, he smiled and said tentatively: "Why is Miss Xun like this? The girl's painting is exquisite, and this painting is vivid, where can it not be appreciated? ”

Liu ...... Liu Gongzi is fallacious and praises ......"

Xun Cai replied hesitantly, but he couldn't help but think of the reason for his daze, and his face became hotter and hotter.

After she woke up yesterday morning, she cried in front of Xun Shuang, Xun Shuang was naturally worried and asked the reason.

Xun Cai weighed it again and again, knowing that his life's major events would eventually be approved by Xun Shuang, so he couldn't help it, so he told Liu Zheng about his confession, and then said about the initials and finals, and even mentioned the message.

She also said that even if Liu Zheng will continue to be affectionate and polite in the future, she may really be lustful one day, not to mention that the two get along day and night, she is also afraid that she will not be able to help but be moved in the future and be unfaithful to her husband - of course, Xun Cai knows that she sometimes really feels tempted, but in front of Xun Shuang, she can only lie once and maintain the reserve of her daughter's family.

And after she finished crying, Xun Shuang pondered for a long time, and Xun Cai still remembers the words with that expression in the end.

Xun Shuang had a calm face at that time.

The face is ugly.

Any father, I am afraid that knowing that someone is so abruptly flirting with his daughter, will have an ugly face.

But Xun Cai could feel that Xun Shuang's face was sinking like water and mixed with extremely complex emotions, like reluctance, like anxiousness, and more like resignation.

Then Xun Shuang opened his mouth, his tone was deep and intermittent:

"Female Xun...... For the father. Can't keep up with you young people. If you have a secret affection for someone and want to deceive your father in the form of dreams, tell me honestly...... Although these young people are pondering the way, they are also very capable, and they are recognized by their father...... You don't have to speak, you don't have to explain, let the Father finish. ”

"I don't believe in my father, I really don't believe it, and I can't believe it...... There are gods in the head, that is what ordinary people and the current emperor's family do! A father is a reader! He is the inheritor of Zhou Confucius's learning, and after your grandfather's death, the example of the entire Xun clan - and even the example of scholars! For the Father, what he follows is 'the Son is silent and the strange power enters the gods', which is self-denial and revenge, not destiny! The matter of marriage, since ancient times, there has been the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can there ever be a let God decide? ! ”

"Don't panic yet...... The father also said it before, and the father recognized it. If he is really a relative of the Han family, and he has the talent to learn like this, he is a teacher of the Lu family, and I am also a good match for the Xun family, and he can really recognize his father, but how can you believe that this person exists if you call him a father? Have you ever seen his face? Do you believe He really exists? ”

"For the Father knows your nature, your nature is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if you are determined, you will definitely follow your heart. Now that you have talked about this matter several times, compared with the weak temperament a few days ago, you have become a little more sad, which also shows that Liu Gongzi, you have taken it to heart...... You don't have to explain, the Father can see it. Being a father doesn't mean that you don't have a good relationship at the beginning, but how is it good for you to be called a father? If the Father consents, then there will be no one? If you are martyred, or even stupid, how can you bear it for your father's heart? ”

"Crying and laughing, silly girl...... cough, don't forget, as a father, he is also good at learning from Huang Lao, and it is helpless to believe in the theory of ghosts and gods. And when I said for the father, 'the son is silent and the power is confused', I want to tell you that the father can agree to this matter, but it is not for God's sake. It is for my father to see this person and assess whether he can become my Xun Shuang's fast son-in-law! ”

"My father will ask him the reason for his dreams, his academic background, and his ambitions. If he is of pure character and does not have the slightest falsehood in what you say, he has achieved nothing, and his father has recognized it! Yes, if there is really such a person, he can be good to you, not a traitor and a demon, and let him be my Xun's son-in-law! If he has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, what can he do if he is to help him become a marquis and worship the prime minister?! ”

So, for a whole day, Xun Cai was stunned.

When she arrived in the dream, waiting for Liu Zheng to arrive, she couldn't help but sketch a silk painting, trying to piece together Liu Zheng's face, but she didn't dare to start filling in the face, and even felt that it was more beautiful and had room for imagination.

And now, facing Liu Zheng, thinking of Xun Shuang's words, and feeling her face getting hotter and hotter, Xun Cai was shy at the same time, she was able to confirm that she could face Liu Zheng's feelings calmly.

As long as you are alive and truly in the world—

I'll marry you.

She thought to herself.
