Chapter 168 Charcoal in the Snow

Liu Zheng didn't sleep all night, sitting on the bed practicing Ganshi's method of spitting, thinking about things, and at dawn, he heard the sound of chattering outside the house, and naturally got up.

However, instead of opening the door and going out, he gathered his things in the room.

To be honest, those words were a bit sympathetic, and he would never have said them in the past. At that time, I felt that it was indeed a very formal heartfelt statement, and it raised the whole scene to a very serious level, but now that I think about it, I always feel that the scene is somewhat like an incomprehensible child shouting and seeking recognition.

It's not that he doesn't dare to go out because he's shy, it's just that he doesn't know how to face those people now.

Talking about the "lord" last night, he really wanted to be the kind of leader who was responsible and decisive, but he was here, he didn't have much experience, and his mentality was still in the stage of gags from time to time.

In fact, Liu Zheng also understands that compared with people who have lived in this era for many years, his heart still has a lot of shadows from his previous life, and even his experience and understanding of some aspects of this era may not be as clear as Huang Xu's child, so he can't live so seriously and depressed, or laugh nightmarishly at some times - he still has his own perspective and logic to look at things, which is different from other people living in the framework of this era.

Therefore, how to be the lord and how to properly handle various relationships, he is still difficult to locate and control.

Of course, these deviations can be compensated for by time, but those words in the early morning are always a little too formal, so formal that he is also a little at a loss, as if the world expressed his maturity overnight, but he is actually still that immature in his bones, he is somewhat worried at this time that he will move stones and destroy his image in the eyes of everyone.

What's more, at this time, there is still the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and it is obvious that someone is leaving, and there is always a feeling of bitterness in this scene, which is ignored by others as the wind in his ears, which makes his face hot.

With such complex emotions, he gathered the bamboo slips and wrapped them into a package, wrapped the overlord gun with strips of cloth, combed his long hair and tied it with a headband, and then put on mourning clothes to tidy up his appearance......

The mourning clothes are not enough, so it's time to end it early and go back to filial piety.

He thought in his heart, put away his clothes and made another package, then picked up his spear, carried two packages to the door, took a few deep breaths, opened the door, and a small figure suddenly leaned in, revealing the skin and hair in the red morning light.

Liu Zheng hurriedly put the two packages behind the little girl, and then pressed the package with his feet, the little girl's two little legs were hanging in the air, the skirt swung a few times, the little hand finally grabbed the wall to stabilize the figure, the little head that was tightly wrapped in a piece of clothing was raised high, the little hand rubbed the only exposed eyes, and called in a daze: "Sir, are you awake?" It's time to drink the medicine. ”

Liu Zhengcai remembered that he asked her to come over the next day last night, and he didn't know how long the little girl had been waiting at the door, and he still had to speak, Zhang Chu came over and said with a smile: "Fang Weng gave her a name, called Fang Xue, rain and snow." Since she is now alone, she has to take care of the housework, and she is considered to be in charge, so don't call her name, she will call her name in the future, or call Fang Niangzi, Xiaoxue can also be. Zhongjing, is the medicine cured? ”

Zhang Ji came from afar: "It's coming!" Zhang Chu pulled Fang Xue over, the little girl was still rubbing her eyes, her eyes were a little red and swollen, "Sir, Uncle Zhongjing said last night, you are going to Wanxian, then I can still follow you in the future...... Learning something? ”

"You stay here with your Uncle Brown. I'll pick you up when I'm done. ”

Liu Zheng had the intention to pull away Fang Xue's clothes that covered her head and let her face it calmly, raised his hand, remembered the typhoid fever on his body or gave up, and then told Zhang Chu about his plan to take Fang Xue away after the Wancheng incident was over.

Zhang Chu hesitated a little: "This ...... In fact, the old man also had the heart to take Fang Xue with him. Fang Weng and I are old acquaintances, and now that he has died, the old man should also take good care of his widow. ”

He looked at Fang Xue and decided: "Liu Gongzi, the old man can see your kindness to Fang Xue, if you really have the heart to teach, you might as well send some letters and strategies on another day, as for the things that have been taken over, don't be in a hurry first." After all, you still have to keep filial piety, and you don't necessarily have to take care of all the complicated things. When you are ready on his side, or Fang Xue is really not used to staying in Zhang's Mansion, how about making arrangements again? ”

"There's no rush ahead of time."

Zhang Ji came over with a medicine bowl, "I plan to let my uncle go back with Xiaoxue today and leave it to Humble Jing to take care of." The dog is the same age as Xiaoxue, so he must be able to communicate. As for the things that took over the past, I waited for the opportunity to go to Zhuo County, investigate and investigate first, and then how about calculating with Brother Deran? ”

Liu Zheng took the medicine bowl and said in surprise: "Brother Zhongjing really wants to go to Zhuo County with me?" ”

Although he vowed last night to take Zhang Ji to Wancheng together, he was also worried about the war in Wancheng, and Zhang Ji left.

"It's just walking around in the past and coming back in the future. I also read those bamboo slips of Brother Gan Shi, although there are inappropriate words from laymen, but they can also corroborate with my medical Taoist scriptures, and the opportunity has also gained a lot. ”

Zhang Ji took out the water jade from his arms and said with a smile: "People in my generation, trapped in one place have always been like frogs at the bottom of the well, and now that I have made a friend of Brother Deran, I have gained a lot of knowledge, so I have to take this opportunity to visit." Thinking that Hua Tuo can have secret recipes such as hemp boiling and dispersion, his medical skills are also superb, and it is also because he has traveled all over the Central Plains and seen all the pathologies that he has this reputation. Since he has to ask for guidance and can become a good doctor, he naturally does not dare to miss such a good opportunity. ”

Liu Zheng was drinking the medicine, and he also felt that such a result was the most deserved, and at this time, he was given a good start by Zhang Ji, and his heart was also settled.

Then he said a few words to Zhang Chu and Zhang Ji, and instructed Fang Xue a few times, Gongsun Yue Chehuan and others over there had already woken up, and when they heard the noise, they also went out to prepare their luggage, and on the other side, Huang Xu was sitting on the threshold and shouted to the door, "Dad, get up, get up!" Then he ran into the house.

Zhang Ji was going to prepare the luggage medicine box and bamboo slips, Zhang Chu also took Fang Xue over to help, Zhang Fei came over with a bowl of freshly heated dough, and glanced around with a shocked face: "Big brother, let's leave after eating." ”

Liu Zheng put down the package, took the dishes and chopsticks from the tray, looked at him, thought about it, and said, "Yide, you stay here." ”

"Huh?"

The eyes swept over the big men who came from Niyang, and when they heard the words, they widened suddenly, and glared at Liu Zheng, "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I thought about it, Brother Brown still needs someone to take care of him here. I don't know if Huang Hansheng will go or not. It's just that if I'm gone, we'll have to have someone here to take care of Brother Brown......"

"Big brother! I don't agree to this! ”

Zhang Fei said angrily: "What does it mean to let me stay here? The second brother has gone, why can't a certain family go? Besides, the rice thief is gone, you are purely unfounded! ”

"It's unfounded, you have to stay here for me."

Liu Zheng said solemnly: "You are my third brother, life and death are important, but in the future, when you lead troops to fight, you often encounter life and death crises, is it possible that we are still tired of being together every day?" You must be sent to be entrusted with important tasks because of the urgency of the matter, right? Don't forget the words in the room at the beginning, we will join the official career to take care of it. Now that my brother and future uncle may encounter an accident, why did you stay here? ”

"But in this case, it's not you going to die, I'm here to ......"

"Am I going to die?"

Liu Zheng swore and said: "Don't forget, how did the weapons in the hands of you and my three brothers come from...... If you really want to do something, you must save your life for my brother and come to you. ”

"Is that true?"

Zhang Fei was still skeptical, "No, you have to try it for me, or ......"

"Yide!"

Liu Zheng was a little helpless, holding the noodles with chopsticks, and sighed: "You and I are still young, and sometimes we are out of proportion, and it is understandable between brothers." But for my brother, I have to tell you, if you want to calm down this troubled world, you must fight with your life, you must be sad when I die, and I will be the same if you die. But since everyone has embarked on this road, they must always have a psychological preparation, so just remember in their hearts, if they are really going to die, remember to take revenge, and it will be boring to be a child again...... This noodle is good, better than last night. ”

He gobbled it up a few times, and watched Xun Yu and Xun Qi next door talk and leave the room, "What's more, just because you stay here doesn't mean that you don't have to worry about your life." It seems like a serious situation here, but in my eyes, you are just as important here...... In other words, Brother Brown's life is as important as you and me. ”

While chewing on the noodles, he said, "Don't forget, we are all rough people, even if we have studied for my brother for a few years, they are not as good as Xun's background after all...... For my brother to keep filial piety for the next three years, it is unknown whether he will be able to tie the knot with Miss Xun at that time, but he can deal with a strategist family like the Xun family, and if he can win over a few people, it will be much easier in the future, whether it is to make contributions or help Xianhe. ”

Someone passed by and greeted Liu Zheng and Zhang Fei a few times, Liu Zheng responded, and seeing that Zhang Fei did not respond, he handed him the bowl and waved his hand: "You stinky face...... I can't eat it anymore. It's so tasteless underneath, and your cooking skills still need to grow. When we go back to Zhuoxian, I'll cook a good meal for you to see and let you know what stir-fry is. You don't care about the rest. Stay here with peace of mind. ”

Liu Zheng picked up the package and walked towards Gongsun Yue and the others, Zhang Fei looked at most of the remaining bread in the bowl, thinking about Liu Zheng's appetite, and called: "Big brother......"

Liu Zheng paused, looked at Zhang Feixin's reluctant look, walked back, and sighed in a low voice: "Since you are going to the battlefield, you have to remember that my identity is the most suitable among the three of us to be pushed out as the lord, and you must also have this consciousness in the future...... If you don't obey me, how can I get others to obey? ”

"Somebody knows."

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he lifted the tray, "Then eat more, you have enough strength to fight." ”

"You can't eat so much...... Good. ”

Liu Zheng picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat noodles, and Gongsun Yue came over with a bowl of noodles and cakes while eating, with a serious face, "Brother Deran, I just ordered some people, and the group of people from Niyang has left seven or eight...... I knew that Zhang Mancheng should have left those soldiers behind, although it may not be useful, and there are still changes, at least he will not escape......"

"It's fine. 150,000 people, a few more or a few can not be seen. It's enough to have me and Yun Chang. ”

Liu Zheng nodded and buried himself in eating noodles.

Gongsun Yue was stunned, and the depression in his heart was much lighter by this understatement, and then looked at Xun You's side, looked at Zhang Fei again, and understood the reason why Zhang Fei was stayed.

It's just that he hesitated for a long time in his heart, and in the end he still didn't find a suitable opportunity to talk about what he was leaving, thinking that with the Xun family, Liu Zheng's identity was also a little special, and things should have a turnaround, so he ran to gather Che Huan and the four of them to feed the horses.

When everything was ready and the time had come, Huang Zhong had not come out yet, Liu Zheng was a little disappointed in his heart, and then saw that Xun You was still sitting at the door talking to Xun Qi, and walked over and wondered: "Gongda is not ready to prepare?" It's time to go. ”

"There's no hurry."

Xun You smiled, looked at the sunshine, and said with a smile: "Two people left last night, and seven or eight more people left this morning. ”

"Oh?"

"Haha, if my brother really expected it, the city was banned last night, and I should come over when I think about it!"

Xun Qi looked at the outside of the village and boasted, Liu Zheng turned his head in confusion, and saw that there were cavalry coming from outside the village, and a few carriages were accompanying them, but the leader was Chen Xiu and Chen Zhen's father and son.
