It was none other than his military marquis Liu Zheng who appeared in front of Zhao Yue.

Liu Zheng was also shocked when he saw Zhao Yue, and then asked, "Zhao Changjiao, you are not on standby in the military house, why do you appear in the street market of Luoyang City?" ”

Zhao Yue knelt on the ground and said truthfully: "Lord Junhou atoned for his sins, I saw that I hadn't practiced for several days, but just stayed in the barracks for a long time, and I was very bored, so I thought about going to the school to see how those recruits of the Dong family were training." ”

Liu Zheng nodded after hearing this, as a recruit of the Han Army, he was a little relieved to have such self-motivation. Liu Zheng asked Zhao Yue to get up, and then said: "I have nothing to do these days, so let's do it, this is not a place to talk, you go home with me, and have a light meal at my house at noon." ”

Zhao Yue didn't dare to take this honor, waved her hand again and again, and refused embarrassedly: "Lord Junhou, how can this work, I am from a humble background, how can I enter and leave the Mansion of Lord Junhou at will." ”

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed, which made Zhao Yue very puzzled. I saw Liu Zheng pull up Zhao Yue's sleeve, and said as he walked: "Your soldier is different from others, it's very interesting, let you come, you can come." ”

Zhao Yue was so enthusiastic that she had to follow Liu Zheng all the way to a private house, although this house was in Luoyang City, it was not big, and it was the same as ordinary people's houses, which was somewhat unexpected by Zhao Yue.

There is a horse shed and a millstone in front of the hut, and there are only two rooms in total, but there is a row of vegetables planted under the eaves, which shows that the owner of the small family has kept this place in good order.

Liu Zheng looked at Zhao Yue at this time, and said meaningfully: "How is it, my 'Junhou Mansion' is good, right?" ”

Zhao Yue was speechless for a while, and her heart was greatly touched. He never expected that Liu Zheng, a dignified military marquis, would live in such a small place with an unattractive appearance.

Zhao Yue was moved: "Lord Junhou, you live frugally, you are a good official, it is really Zhao Yue's honor to be a soldier under you." ”

Liu Zheng sighed, as if he had a lot to say, but instead of standing outside the door and talking, he opened the door and let Zhao Yue into the house.

After Zhao Yue entered the house, she learned that Liu Zheng did not live alone, and he also had a wife and a two-year-old son at home.

When Mrs. Liu saw that there were guests at home, she hurriedly took the wine jug and went out to drink. Zhao Yue saw it in his eyes, knowing that the hospitable Liu Zheng must have arranged for his wife to prepare lunch, he thought that there would be a sumptuous meal waiting for him at noon, so his stomach screamed twice.

After Mrs. Liu left, only Zhao Yue and Liu Zheng were left in the house, and a meter of sunlight sprinkled on the ground, shining on the warmth of the whole house, and the shadows of the two fell on a paper window, overlapping each other, giving people a feeling of intimacy.

Liu Zheng took off his red robe, resumed his cloth dress, let Zhao Yue on the table again, and poured him a pot of tea, then opened the conversation and said to Zhao Yue: "Although you are just an ordinary soldier, I see that you are different from ordinary soldiers. It's nice that other soldiers don't have any ambitions, they just know how to live in fear, but you can find something to do on your own. ”

After Zhao Yue heard this, she was a little flattered, and her handsome face was a little embarrassed at this time, and she hurriedly said: "Junhou, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng smiled lightly and said, "This place is not comparable to the military house and the school field, you can call me eldest brother." ”

Zhao Yue also smiled, nodded, and changed her words: "Brother Liu, you really praise me, I really don't have any big ambitions, my purpose as a soldier is the same as everyone else, I just want to eat enough and support myself." In the future, when he has military exploits and is sealed an official position, he can go home to honor his mother. It's just that I have a good friend who is a soldier under Dong Zhuo, so I shuttled between Luoyang City and the military house one after another, just to meet him a few more times, don't get me wrong. ”

"I see." Liu Zheng said slowly, squinting his eyes, and couldn't help but nod.

He just went to the street and saw Zhao Yue standing in front of the school for a long time, and then reluctantly left. In my heart, I thought that this young man had ambitions in his chest, and he didn't meet talents, so he peeked at the drill and learned a trick and a half. Unexpectedly, it was such a reason, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart.

Zhao Yue saw that Liu Zheng no longer spoke, and her heart was entangled. He wanted to have a long talk with Liu Zheng a long time ago to learn about the matter between Han Jun and Dong Jun, but he was just a small soldier, and he was embarrassed to overstep abruptly, so he didn't ask questions for a long time.

Liu Zheng saw Zhao Yue's thoughts and persuaded: "Today in my family, there are no military marquis and soldiers, you and I are two ordinary civilians of the Han Dynasty, if you have any questions, just ask." ”

Zhao Yue scratched her head, and finally said, "Brother Liu, there is one thing that has indeed been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I don't know whether to mention it or not." As early as when Kunyang City was recruited, I saw some clues, and you seem to have some hardships. ”

"Oh?" Liu Zheng's eyes lit up, he never expected that the young man in front of him would be so understanding. Indeed, as Zhao Yue said, when he was recruiting, he was sad about the decline of the Han Dynasty in his heart, and his sad expression hung on his face, but he didn't expect to be seen.

Liu Zheng said secretly, this young man is really not ordinary.

Zhao Yue didn't notice the appreciation revealed in Liu Zheng's eyes, but analyzed to herself: "I have seen and listened a lot in the past few days, and I always feel that there seems to be something wrong between our Han army and Dong Jun, I am just a small soldier, and I don't dare to talk nonsense......"

Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng reacted very much when he heard Zhao Yue say this, he didn't allow Zhao Yue to finish speaking, and hurriedly got up and went to the paper window and looked out.

When he confirmed that there was a wilderness outside, and only occasionally someone passed by from a distance, and no one eavesdropped, he turned around and whispered to Zhao Yue: "Who taught you to say this, you really saw it yourself?" ”

Zhao Yue had never seen Liu Zheng like this, and he was shocked in his heart, he didn't dare to sit anymore, and quickly stood up, and explained inexplicably: "Lord Junhou, is it true that the villain said something wrong, it is indeed the villain himself who sees it." The villain is very sad every time he mentions Dong Jun or Master Dong Zhuo, so he thinks so. ”

Liu Zheng looked at Zhao Yue, and was very surprised in his heart, he was amazed at Zhao Yue's wisdom; I am also very gratified, and I am glad that such a smart young man not only does not have the disadvantages of opportunism and inflammatory, but is very simple. In the troubled times, such a person is a rare good seedling, and if he is well taught, he will become a great weapon in the future.

At the same time, Liu Zheng was also disappointed, disappointed that he could not benefit and help Zhao Yue.

The Han Dynasty declined, and it would be better for a good boy like Zhao Yue to serve as a soldier in any other princes than to make a living in the team led by the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng shook his head and praised sincerely: "I really can't imagine that the fortunes of my Han country are declining, and I have been seen by an ordinary soldier, alas! I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse......"

Next, in Zhao Yue's puzzled eyes, Liu Zheng was finally willing to tell him about the intricate relationship between the DPRK and China.

Zhao Yue listened patiently, but the more she listened, the more frightened she became, and the more she listened.

Hearing the end, he finally understood that the current power center of the Great Han Dynasty was not Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, but the powerful minister Dong Zhuo!

The funny thing is that he has always simply believed that the emperor is supreme, and Dong Zhuo is a loyal minister of King Qin.

In Liu Zheng's mouth, Zhao Yue finally understood that Dong Zhuo was a wolf ambition. Thinking of this, Zhao Yue's mind underwent subtle changes, and his cognition unconsciously rose to a higher level.

In the process of listening to Liu Zheng's narration, Zhao Yue always bit his lip and frowned, he felt that his past self was very stupid, like a person who didn't understand anything, and only knew how to obey his orders.

He finally understood, no wonder Dong Zhuo wanted to take all the brave and good fighters under his own command, no wonder Han Kui, the military marquis of the Dong family, would let their Han army die in vain when he was killed, no wonder the soldiers under Dong Zhuo were training on the school field, and their Han army was living in fear in the broken barn on the outskirts of the city!

Zhao Yue's heart was cold for most of the time, if Liu Zheng hadn't told him today, he would probably not know this for the rest of his life.

Only now did he know that Wu Chang Xing Yi did not die under Pei Yuanshao's knife, but died in the struggle for power!

Truth and joy are often incompatible.

Zhao Yue retreated in his heart, he didn't know how to face his eldest brother Zhang Duan under Dong Zhuojun in the future, and he didn't know what kind of identity he should survive in this kind of turmoil. At this time, he just wanted to return to Kunyang, to return to his village, to farm the land, collect medicine, and support his mother.

Liu Zheng said a lot, obviously thirsty, he took a sip of water, and looked at Zhao Yue silently, waiting for this smart teenager to make his choice.

Zhao Yue just asked Liu Zheng blankly: "Why?" ”

Why is all this? Liu Zheng smiled in his heart, but instead of laughing at the boy's stupidity, he appreciated his simplicity.

"For the sake of power, for the sake of the world, this is not what you and I should consider, you are just a soldier of the Han Dynasty, and I am just a military marquis, what we have to do is ......"

Liu Zheng didn't finish.

Zhao Yue looked at him eagerly, her eyes were uncertain, and she asked in an unsteady tone, "Brother Liu, what are we going to do?" ”

"It's loyalty and filial piety."

After a while, Liu Zheng lightly spit out three words, and then continued: "Just like you often say that you want to support the old mother of the family, that is filial piety; And we men were born in heaven and earth, since we have chosen to join the army, we must do another thing, that is, loyalty, loyalty to our generals, loyalty to our own forces, that is, loyalty to our original choice. Liu Zheng patted the position of the heart, and Zhao Yue knew what it meant.

Her lips moved slightly, and Zhao Yue asked again: "Big brother, if you say ...... I joined Dong Zhuojun, but I didn't join the Han Army...... So what should I do at this point? ”

Liu Zheng didn't hesitate for a moment, and replied with a firm and decisive look in his eyes: "You should defend Dong Zhuo to the death, and everything is based on Dong Zhuo, even if what he does is wrong, it is possible to leave a reputation for eternity, you should also choose to be loyal." The word loyalty, there is no right or wrong, there is just a difference between you and me. ”

"The word loyalty, there is no right or wrong, there is a difference between you and me...... Zhao Yue muttered, as if a thousand catties of stone had fallen in her heart.

There was a sound outside the door, Mrs. Liu had already bought wine and came back, and it was different from what Zhao Yue had thought before, there was no big fish and meat in the lunch meal, just some light farm dishes.

At the dinner table, Zhao Yue didn't have much heart to eat, and today's conversation with the military marquis Liu Zheng touched him a lot.

In the past, I chose to join the Han Army because I wanted to eat with a mixed mouth; Thinking of going home to honor my mother; It was because he saw Liu Zheng's distress and wanted to make him feel better.

And now, he wants to fulfill the loyalty of a Han Dynasty soldier, and then return to his hometown to fulfill the filial piety of a son.

After eating, Mrs. Liu cleaned up the leftovers of the cup, and then went to the other house to take care of the children without saying a word.

Zhao Yue continued to talk with Liu Zheng until night fell outside the house and the lights in the city were lit.

At the time of parting, Liu Zheng stood at the door to see Zhao Yue, and said reluctantly: "When you came to my house today, I talked a lot with you, and it can be regarded as fate." Whether you are really ambitious or not, it is always beneficial to learn something, and you can also settle down in troubled times. In this way, you can come here every day in the future, although I am just a military marquis, and my martial arts are not as good as Dong Zhuo's generals, I can also teach you one and a half moves; In terms of literature and history, although not as good as those scholars, I have heard a little about the old things of the previous dynasty, and I can tell you.

"If that's the case, thank you very much, thank you!" Zhao Yue hurriedly knelt down to thank her, grateful.

In the end, Zhao Yue said goodbye to Liu Zheng and once again walked on the road from Luoyang City to the old military house.

I have to say that it was a beautiful night, and the evening breeze made the young Zhao Yue feel cool, and when she returned to the cottage, she saw that Cao Ping had already slept, and there was a bunch of orange wildflowers on her bed.

After a heavy day, he finally showed a smile.
