Section 4 Pretending to be stupid
Since he came into contact with such a clansman who returned from afar half a year ago, it is impossible to say that Cheng Shouru did not reject Luo Kaixian at the beginning, after all, this clansman may pose a very big threat to his status in the Tang camp.
But with the interpretation of time, Cheng Shouru found that he couldn't compete with the other party at all, even if he couldn't shake such a monster-like guy with his ancestral horse lance and proud horse combat power, and then he found that not only by force, but also in terms of brain, he was also completely defeated, and that decisive game could not be completely blamed on the instigation of his subordinates, Cheng Shouru himself also had the mentality of eagerness to try.
The family motto of the Cheng family is not to go against the strong, to be convinced when you are taught a lesson, and survival is the first thing. Is there any reason Cheng Shouru said that it was not good, but then he agreed. Without him, the Pei Wei family who fought against a monster like Luo Kaixian had no power to fight back at all, if it weren't for the fate of the Li family, who had experienced ups and downs together for many years, and sent Li Xuan to persuade Luo Kaixian to let the two families go, maybe now the Pei Wei family would have been wiped out.
It's not because I saw this elder surnamed Luo and that Gong Qing from confrontation to cooperation, but all kinds of things along the way after setting off - the expulsion of the troublemakers behind the scenes was already the best result, and all the "bandits" who had snooping ideas along the way were killed by the white-skinned thug named Gonzhas and hung on wooden poles or trees, without exception, just because they didn't give enough punishment to the betrayer and vented their anger.
Along the way, there were still twitching corpses hanging on the wooden poles or trees on the roadside, the ground was full of mottled bloodstains, and various types of broken arms or stumps could be faintly seen in the grass on the roadside. The whole team was able to move so fast in the next few days, and it wasn't just because of the blue-eyed devil.
With the cheekiness of his ancestors, Cheng Shouru can still smile and smile in front of Luo Kaixian, but he is completely convinced in his heart, not only because of the other party's ruthlessness in treating the enemy, but also because of more unimaginable things - when he was in Ardabil, because of the expulsion of some people, a lot of materials could not be carried, and finally handed over to Luo Kaixian to solve, Cheng Shouru didn't know how to solve it, and the big cars in the team on the road did not increase, and now those materials appeared magically after camping.
Although the team of tens of thousands of people will inevitably have places that cannot be taken care of, but those materials and armaments appeared in the middle of the camp without a sound, during this period, only this elder surnamed Luo appeared there, maybe ordinary soldiers will not care, but how can he, the camp guard, not be aware of it?
Cheng Shouru listened to the ancestors of the people, whether it is the East or the Western Regions of the wasteland there are unknown aliens, in the past the Tang Dynasty also had a similar legend, the ancestors said that it was immortals, but few people have seen it, there was once a legend that was very magical to leave a name called Sun Simiao, His Majesty Taizong of the Tang Dynasty stayed in the court during his lifetime, and then disappeared.
Could it be that this Luo Kaixian is also a stranger? Or are you called immortals? Cheng Shouru is not sure, and this kind of thing cannot be asked. Peeping into people's privacy must be taboo, even if he is not an alien, this Luo Kaixian is not something he can guess through, it is better to pretend to be confused, then listen.
"Lao Cheng, I can guarantee that there won't be any major problems with the safety along the way, but after returning to the East, have you thought about it?" Lao Luo didn't know what Cheng Shouru was thinking, but all in all, there would be nothing that jumped out of his guess.
"Hmm......" Cheng Shouru reacted from his stunned gaze, "This matter naturally has the ancestors of the Li family to consider, I, in short, I have to go back to my hometown in Qizhou to worship my ancestors first." ”
Cheng Shouru said that Qizhou is Jinan, Shandong in the later generations, of course Lao Luo knows, how the other party arranges trivial matters, Lao Luo is not interested in paying attention, but what he said is obviously not what he asked. This guy is pretending to be confused, Lao Luo directly decided, but there is no need to say anything, "What is the situation in the East in recent years, there will always be some news for businessmen who want to come to the past, Lao Cheng, you must know, I won't explain much." My goal is to go back to my hometown and have a look, and then find a suitable place that is not managed by anyone, and take my subordinates to live a peaceful and peaceful life, I don't know if you are interested? ”
"This ......" Cheng Shouru did think about it, and what he just said to Lao Luo was indeed pretending to be confused.
Seeing that Cheng Shouru has nothing to say, Lao Luo is not in a hurry, everything that hits it off is nonsense, he is just the next introduction now, as for how the other party chooses in the future, it is just a matter of time or time, even if there are any accidents, it is nothing, and this kind of thing is not necessarily a rigid demand, "Let's talk about the situation in the East, the East is now divided into two parts, the north and the south, the Song Kingdom in the south uses literati to balance the warriors, and emphasizes economy over military strategy, I am afraid that people like you and me who use knives can only become tigers in cages, And I'm not interested in finding an emperor to be a courtier. ”
Lao Luo's words are very casual, and his voice is a little leisurely, not that he deliberately pretends to be deep, later generations always say that the Song Dynasty is the cultural pinnacle in the history of the Chinese nation, but he, a pure soldier, feels unhappy with the dynasty that emphasizes literature and light on military force in his bones, and naturally he is very contemptuous between his words.
Cheng Shouru naturally knows some oriental things, obviously he has the same opinion as Lao Luo, and he doesn't have any idea of being a pet at home, but unlike Lao Luo, he would rather pretend to be stupid than say it. He asked curiously, "What about the north?" ”
"It is said that the Khitan people are in charge of the pattern in the north, and the Han people are supplemented, and the descendants of the Diera tribe, Yelu, have been the head, and the current northern royal family, I heard that they use the rules of the tribe to manage the Khitans, and then use the rules of the Han people to manage the Han people. Lao Luo glanced at the man on the door panel as he spoke, "But I'm afraid you'll become my enemy at that time." ”
"Big man Luo, don't wronged people, my Cheng family is used to living in a big house, and I can't live in a tent surrounded by cattle and sheep." Cheng Shouru said it very playfully, but the meaning was still clear.
Of course, Lao Luo could hear it, but he just said it casually, and he didn't take it to heart, what he said was almost over, he couldn't do anything to deliberately win over people, and there was still a long way to go, and there was always a time when it was the other party's turn to choose. He stood up and straightened the linen robe on his body, "Lao Cheng, don't always pretend to be stupid, be careful that if you pretend to be stupid too much, you will become really stupid." ”
Cheng Shouru also stood up, stunned to hear Lao Luo's words, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Where do you speak, how can I pretend to be stupid?" You big man Luo has a cold face all day long, and you look like you're pretending! ”
"Come on, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm going to see those kids." Lao Luo no longer took a stubble, glanced at the man on the door panel meaningfully, turned around and left.
Leaving Cheng Shouru behind him to keep muttering, the power of this elder surnamed Luo is getting stronger and stronger, and this day is getting worse and worse.
How could Cheng Shouru not understand Lao Luo's purpose?
He's not really stupid, right now, the big team is working together to pull east, and no one has any abnormal thoughts, or even if they don't say anything, who can guess? But what about when you get to your homeland in the East?
Others don't mention it, but the Zhang family will never say a word again, although the Li family has now handed over the safety of the team to the elder surnamed Luo, but what will happen after arriving in the East, it is also difficult to say, his Cheng family has been dependent on the Li family for many years to survive, and he understands the Li family very clearly, the ancestor of the Li family will not have any extravagant hopes when he is old, Li Tan rarely speaks in official affairs, but he understands it very well in his heart, but maybe it will be Luo Kaixian's father-in-law, the most troublesome Li Zhan of the Li family, this person usually has a gentle and elegant gentleman's style, It's hard to guess what he's thinking. In addition, there are Li Lian, Li Xuan, and Li Zheng, all of whom are not mediocre people, especially the former, who usually shows people with a squishy attitude, but they are not really arrogant people.
It's just that Luo Kai said such a thing to himself first, what was his intention? Cheng Shouru was patrolling around, and he pondered in his heart.
What he was thinking, didn't Lao Luo think about it?
Of course not, although Lao Luo is a soldier, in the environment of information explosion in later generations, how can he not concentrate on the military camp, let alone be an international mercenary for three years, it can be said that the ugliest things in the world have been seen. At present, this kind of struggle for power and profit that may happen in the future can only be regarded as pediatric, in other words, at least in the current situation, he is the biggest fist, and he does not need to play a game under any rules with anyone, and the intrigue will not see the light of day after all, and no matter how complicated the scheming is, it can only be the result of a gloomy exit.
As for his temptation of Cheng Shouru, it was just to make a foreshadowing in advance, so as not to make a general who he admired more unable to distinguish the direction and go the wrong way.
After talking to Cheng Shouru, Lao Luo went directly to the boy camp, this is his future talent base, and Li Ji is also there, some time ago he said that when he came to Baku, he proposed to her family because of the preparation of the return to the east and lost his trust, and in Ardabil and the ancestor of the Li family had a little unpleasant because of the problem of concept, and now he always has to give an explanation to the fire girl.
Although Lao Luo is a little indifferent to emotional matters, he is not a Lu man who does not understand the amorous feelings, let alone a playboy who can't walk when he sees a woman. can express his acceptance of Li Ji, but because he has experienced too long of a killing career and is at a loss when he first arrives in your land, his commitment to a woman who cares about him is not love, but he values it more than the so-called love.
In his days as a mercenary, he saw a lot of things that he talked about love and forgot when he turned around.
The perfect couple he knew was more of a family relationship of mutual trust and dependence, rather than some hellish hormonal impulse.
This era will certainly be no exception.
