Section 72 Wei Shilang and Ding Lao Wei (middle)

"Why is my husband so anxious?" Facing the annoyed accusations of the old man surnamed Ding, Luo Kaixian was not in a hurry, but said with a little smile: "Although the people of my Lingzhou are not tall and burly, but if they are in a certain body, there are also many people, if you don't believe it, you can look out the window, and the soldiers guarding the door of the Jiazi Courtyard are not inferior to a certain one." As for the calluses on the hands, it is indeed caused by the common use of swords, but in my Lingzhou, not to mention the officials who buy grain from a certain district, they are among the old women, and most of them carry swords and soldiers when they travel...... According to what my husband said, in this Song Kingdom, like me, I can only rely on my body and momentum? ”

Old Ding Kui was dumb again. Previously, it was just the guy in the store and the guests who reported Lingzhou to eat on the third floor, he thought that with just a few words, he would definitely be able to test the truth and reality, but now that he looks at it, maybe the other party's reality is not tested, and he will be angry.

Not to mention, although he is old, Lao Ding's body is really good, and after taking a few deep breaths with a red face, he eased up, "Wei Shilang, you little brother has a ghostly mind, you really want to deceive me into being old and ignorant?" Where is the saying that the old woman travels with a sword? ”

Luo Kaixian spread his hands and said very innocently: "My husband really wronged the juniors, Wei Mou first arrived in Xingyang, and he has no grudges with you, how can he deceive each other with lies?" Besides, it's only a thousand miles to Lingzhou, and there are always merchants going back and forth, so why not ask? If you don't believe what people say, my husband has a good business, and there must be no shortage of talents under him, so why not send someone to verify it? ”

"You...... Junior! "Lao Ding is not really annoyed, but what the guy on the other side said really made him a little hesitant, the old woman can carry a knife on the road, what else can he do as an old man? The appearance of the chiseled words of the posterior life on the opposite side of the partial birth, and the family really can't be accurate.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, in order to restrict the martial arts, the influence of Confucianism has become increasingly serious, not only the martial arts are severely restricted, but the defense of men and women has also become more and more stringent, but the series of reactions to this old man is really not the slightest expectation, worried that this old man will be angry, Luo Kaixian had to say from the other party's point of view: "What Wei said, the old man feels strange? As far as I know, this Song State still has the saying of a tiger girl in the generals......"

The young man who sat down in this place has already given the steps, what else can Lao Ding do if he is a little annoyed in his heart? So, he raised his hand and waved, stopping Luo Kaixian's words, and it was not good to use this to entangle Luo Kaixian's identity, so he had to say with a bitter cry and laughter: "How can the Jiangmen girl be compared with the old woman with a knife?" Wei Shilang, don't play tricks on the old man! ”

The word "playing" is not a good idea to use here, but in the face of an old man, even if it is just a first acquaintance, Luo Kaixian is not easy to refute directly, so he has to pick up the tea bowl and remain silent.

Of course, Lao Ding Kui can't tear his face and blame people just because Luo Kaixian told the truth, and when his anger passed, he knew that his words were inappropriate, so he hurriedly said haha: "Ha, little brother, you know that there are Jiangmen Tiger Girls in the Great Song Dynasty, but it's not false, but in this Great Song Dynasty, the Jiangmen girls can't go out with knives in ordinary times......"

"And such restrictions?" Luo Kaixian had the impression that in this era, even if the Jiangmen was subject to some restrictions, it would not erase the characteristics it already had, so Lao Ding Kui's words really surprised him a little, "Don't hide it from Uncle Ding, I still have female battalions and female generals in Lingzhou...... You don't laugh, my Lingzhou women's camp is not a women's camp, but a women's camp that can carry a knife to cut people's heads, and there are not a few people in the camp who can shoot bows and arrows. ”

As soon as the words fell, it was Lao Ding Kui's turn to be stunned, "You Lingzhou has no military discipline constraints?" How can a girl be so cruel? And such a fierce girl, that man dares to marry? ”

"Hah!" Lang Sheng laughed, Luo Kaixian said calmly: "Lingzhou has its own military discipline restrictions, but there is no limit to sword soldiers, and Lingzhou girls will not have nothing to do, but if someone provokes them for no reason, it is a trivial matter to be whipped with a whip!" As for the matter of marrying, it is indeed not worried, the old man should know that the fierce horse is far better than the mediocre horse, not to mention the rouge fierce horse? ”

At this point, if Lao Ding Kui can't understand it anymore, he has lived for 80 years in vain. The old man thought about it for a while, and understood that Guan Qiao was also happy, but he said with some grievances: "You have a daughter camp in Lingzhou, and there are also female generals, and the girls in the family of the Great Song Dynasty Jiangmen have a hard time...... Most of the daughters of Jiangmen families are just tigresses in the family, and if they are lucky, they can make a little achievements in the name of a lady, but it is rare for those sour and rotten literati in the court to agree......"

Luo Kaixian sneered, and replied with some contempt: "As a person, you only need to act brightly and act uprightly, so why do you need others to agree?" ”

Lao Ding Kui nodded, then shook his head again, then held his forehead and said: "Old man, if you are not as good as the little brother, you can still go straight wantonly, but you know that the truth of the world is not something that one or two people can conclude. The matter of the daughter, according to what the old man sees, but the man with the eyebrows is here, why should the girl carry a knife and dance to rob? ”

But where is the bearded man? Luo Kaixian frowned, and couldn't help but ask: "What the old man said is not bad, but if the man with eyebrows is gone, will the girls close their eyes and wait for death?" ”

He clearly knew the historical evolution of the Song Kingdom - of course, there was no "history" of his existence, according to the current context, if there was no external interference, a hundred years later, the Song people would have even their own emperor plundered by the barbaric northern Jin people, just like Madame Hua Rui (1) wrote in the poem "140,000 people are all unarmed, and none of them are men" (2).

However, at this time, Lao Ding Kui obviously didn't know about this poem, let alone that it was written by a woman, and he, an old guy from a martial arts background, was even more disdainful. Facing Luo Kaixian's rhetorical question, he replied with annoyance and a strange tone, "How can there be no bearded man?" Unless all the men are dead, or they are all soft bones without egg bags! ”

"My husband's words can't help it!" After Luo Kaixian directly made such an assertion, he then said: "The younger generation knows a little bit about historical evolution, so don't mention the long-term things, just say that after the collapse of the former Tang Dynasty, the Khitans, Murwei people, and Dangxiang people in the north, the Turks, Qiang, and Tubo people in the west, and many miscellaneous seedlings in the south, how many foreign enemies have kidnapped my Han daughter?" Speaking of modern times, as far as the younger generations know, before the Tanyuan War, the Khitans in the north went south to fight the grass valley. I don't know where the man with eyebrows is what the old man said? ”

Although he has experienced many ups and downs, Luo Kaixian is still a cannon temper in his bones, and this remark can be regarded as a coincidence, anyway, he never thought of surrendering to the Zhao Song Dynasty, so he didn't care about the so-called gains and losses at all, if it weren't for the fact that the old Ding Kui in front of him, who looked like a 'woman should stay at home and teach her husband and children', was born as a martial artist, he really disdained to argue.

After the words were spoken, he didn't care at all, and let old Ding Kui pull his beard on his chest like an angry bull with red ears and red eyes.

The entourage standing at this table and the busy shopkeepers not far away were frightened, and they wanted to step forward but were stopped by Lao Ding Kui's staring eyes.

The only one who could keep calm was Luo Kaixian, who picked up the still warm teapot, re-poured the tea for the two tea bowls that had been empty, and then waited quietly for Lao Ding Kui to calm down, except for occasionally looking out the window.

No one counted how long the time had passed, the anger and anxiety in Lao Ding Kui's eyes gradually began to fade, and his breathing finally returned to calm, pinching the tea bowl that had begun to cool a little and drank it all, "Wei Shilang...... Who are you? ”

"Isn't my husband confused? A certain is from Lingzhou, surnamed Wei, and has four lines in the family. Luo Kaixian's expression was still the same.

Old Ding Kui finally relieved, knowing that this young man who called himself "Wei Shilang" was by no means idle, and even his name might just be a cover-up, but he knew that he couldn't debunk the strangeness in it, not for anything else, just relying on the other party's calmness was beyond the reach of ordinary people, as for everything that the other party said was even more deafening, if it was revealed, it would definitely cause an uproar in the entire Song Realm, and it would definitely be the one that no one could suppress.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Yes, what a Wei Shiro!" Just a few words will cause the old man to lose his mind, but do you know that if what you just said spreads, there will be tens of millions of houses in the world of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"My husband is exaggerating, everyone in the world has eyes, but how many people can understand right and wrong in the world? Everyone in the world has two ears, and how many of them can understand discerning words? Luo Kaixian put on a look of indifference, and said calmly: "Even if what Wei said comes out, what can it do?" One or two out of ten people can understand that it is a blessing to invite heaven! ”

"Okay, you're a Wei Shiro, and you're deceiving again!" Old Ding Kui blew the messy beard on the side of his mouth, glared and said: "Even one of the hundred people understands that after three or five years, it will turn into a monstrous trend, although the old man is old, he is not mediocre!" ”

Seeing through by this old man, Luo Kaixian didn't have an embarrassed expression, but spread his hands and asked: "Whether the house is restless, or the monstrous momentum, it is better than being forced by outsiders one day and not being able to keep his wife and children, does the old man think so?" ”

"Alas......" Old Ding Kui wanted to refute, but found that he really had nothing to say, so he had to sigh and say bluntly: "Little brother Mo wants to peek at the bravery of my Great Song Dynasty border army, how can you allow outsiders to trample on it at will?" And all the princes of the court are the pillars of the moment, how do you know that there is no perfect strategy? ”

Hearing that the old man was still stubborn, Luo Kaixian said: "The old man said that the border army is brave, Wei has indeed seen it, but most of the generals are mediocre people, as for the old man said that the court princes, Wei has never seen it, but I don't know if there is a war, how many people are willing to go to the killing field in person?" ”

Old Ding Kui was dumb again, the other party had only a few words, light and fluttering, but like an anvil like a grinding, every word was like a spear stabbing at the weak place, it was rare that this Song Kingdom was so unbearable in the eyes of Lingzhou people? He originally wanted to test the reality of the Lingzhou people in person, but now after a few words, he was speechless by the other party's young and young students...... How could he be willing?
