On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

Zheng Yanqing set off on the road on this day, and he also hoped to win a good fortune on this day.

In this era, he became more and more accustomed to following the customs of the ancients. In later generations, the day when the dragon raised its head was also called the Green Dragon Festival and the Spring Dragon Festival. However, that was after the Song Dynasty, and at least for now, there is no such thing as a festival.

However, people like to pick vegetables on this day, welcome the rich, and go green.

So along the way, Yanqing saw many Luo Yi Yashi, merry scholars, or with beautiful families, or on the bank of the Luoshui River, singing poems with beauties.

Zheng Yanqing sat in the car, followed by Jade Hoof.

The three brothers of Dang Shijie drove a car and two rode horses, all of them were dressed in strong clothes, and they carried bows, arrows and swords with them, and they were heroic. Coming out of Luoyang City, the three brothers don't know how many girls they have attracted from the rippling autumn waves of Huaichun. However, no one stepped forward to stop it, because although there was only one car, but looking at the accompanying war horses and the horses pulling the vehicles, I knew that the people sitting in this car would never be ordinary rich people, and I am afraid that if they are not rich, they will be expensive.

The carriage left Luoyang and traveled along the official road.

Zheng Yanqing gently stroked the two little mastiffs crawling beside him, his eyes were closed, but he was thinking about the various situations he would face after arriving in Xingyang. Even if the arrangements have been made, if Zhang Zhongjian can't get the Zheng clan from the south, the situation will become very bad. After annexing the seven rooms of the Zheng family from the south, coupled with the promotion of the third room, can Zheng Renji withstand their attacks?

Although the eldest grandson Sheng asked him to visit Cui Zhiren in order to obtain the support of the Cui clan in Zhengzhou.

But Yan Qing knows very well that for the big families, they may be able to support each other and help each other. But when it comes to disputes within the family, most of them adopt a silent and onlooker attitude. Even if Cui Zhiren promised him to come forward to help, at most, it would be to deter Zheng Shanyuan and make him dare not use some indiscriminate means. Other than that, not much help.

Even if they tear their faces, when the dust settles, the two sides will still try to mend the rift.

After all, the intertwined relationship between the big families is indeed a very complicated matter...... Zheng Yanqing sighed lightly, it's a pity that Li Jiancheng married the daughter of the third room, which also made Zheng Shanyuan arrogant to a certain extent. If Li Yuan, who is far away in Chang'an, can stand up and say a word in this matter, the effect is far better than all kinds of means. It's just, will Li Yuan come out?

Even if he cares about Zheng Yanqing very much, I am afraid that he will not take the name of participating in the internal affairs of the Zheng family for him.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

If Zheng Renji really wants to move out of An Yuantang, then he must prepare for a comeback in the future.

In everything, we must first consider the worst outcome and come up with the best solution.

This is also a habit of Zheng Yanqing, sitting in the oil caravan, with the bumps of the vehicle, Yanqing fell into deep thought.

Before you know it, the bright sun is obscured by dark clouds.

In the afternoon, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and it began to drizzle in the sky again.

The rain was not the same, it was very dense and urgent.

Dang Shijie had to interrupt Zheng Yanqing's contemplation, "Young Master, this rain is so haunting, let's find a place to avoid it." ”

Zheng Yanqing nodded.

The vision is not clear, and it is easy to get into an accident when you are rushing in this kind of drizzle.

But he also knew how precious this drizzle was to the farmers who were about to start ploughing. Plenty of rain will make for a good harvest. I hope that this good rain can bring stability to Luoyang...... "I remember passing by here four years ago, there was a sparse forest at the bend in front of me, and there seemed to be a wooden house built in it.

I just don't know if the wooden house is still there after four years...... Shi Yingshixiong, you two ride over and have a look, and we will arrive later. If there is no wooden house, we can only take shelter in the sparse forest, but I hope that this rain will not last too long. ”

The two brothers, Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong, agreed, and urged the horses to gallop away.

Zheng Yanqing said with a smile: "This haunting rain is really timely. The first two days were sunny, but we fell when we were in a hurry. Shijie, let's hurry up too. If the rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep in the wilderness. ”

Dang Shijie was a serious person, waving his horsewhip and shouting in his mouth, and the speed of the vehicle suddenly accelerated.

Soon I came to the sparse forest, and the wooden house was still there.

It's just in disrepair, and the wooden house is very dilapidated. However, it is no problem to shelter from the wind and rain, when Zheng Yanqing and the two came to the sparse forest, the two brothers Dang Shiying had already lit the fire in the house. There is no shortage of firewood in this wooden house, presumably a well-wisher deliberately left it for the convenience of passers-by. The raging pond fire dispelled the chill of the spring rain.

Zheng Yanqing and the others hastily ate dinner, but the rain did not stop.

Dang Shijie said: "Young master, it looks like we're really going to stay here today......

"In that case, you have divided your shifts, let's rest early.

When the rain stopped tomorrow, I changed to Jade Hoof and hurried up. Tomorrow, I won't stay overnight in Yanshi, and go straight to Bishui Pass. ”

"Yes!"

Dang Shijie immediately arranged it and discussed with the two brothers the arrangements for the night.

Yan Qing with a thin waist and four eyes, lying on the soft and warm cushion, after a while, fell asleep deeply...... It was almost midnight when Yan Qing suddenly woke up.

When he sat up, he saw that both little mastiffs had opened their eyes, stared at the dark green eyes, and looked out of the house. Dang Shijie and Dang Shixiong were at the door of the wooden house, holding horizontal knives in their arms and covering their bodies with cotton cloaks. Dang Shiying sat on the edge of the fire, his head little by little, as if he was napping.

"Two parties!"

Zheng Yanqing got up, picked up the cross knife, and woke up Dang Shiying.

"Young Master, what's the matter?"

"Did you hear anything?"

Dang Shijie and Dang Shixiong also woke up, got up with a knife, and walked out of the wooden house.

The spring rain was cold, and a few horses seemed to be quiet in the simple stable. Zheng Yanqing listened attentively, and in the sound of the dripping rain, he faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

It's so late, who's still in a hurry?

Zheng Yanqing was puzzled in his heart, and glanced at Dang Shijie, who immediately understood what he meant. He called Dang Shiying, and the two of them took swords and bows, put on their robes, and walked out of the wooden house, hiding behind the trees on both sides of the wooden house.

Dang Shixiong stayed in the wooden house with Zheng Yanqing, and the two little mastiffs looked out of the house vigilantly.

There are bandits in Hebei, there are wanderers in Henan, and bandits are rampant. In this kind of weather, most people have either found a place to stay, or simply do not go out. And the people who are still in a hurry at this time, if they don't have a special situation, then there is a good chance that they may be bandits.

Therefore, Zheng Yanqing and others did not dare to slack off...... A few horses galloped into the forest.

The knight was a burly knight, jumping from his horse, splashing mud and water.

"The people in the house listened, and came out at once."

The light in the forest was extremely dim, and it was impossible to see the faces of the people who came. Zheng Yanqing waved his hand lightly, signaling the party soldiers not to act rashly. Then he patted the little mastiff's head again, slowly pulled out the big horizontal knife, and hid the small horizontal knife behind his elbow.

"The people in the house come out quickly, and if they don't come out, don't blame us for being polite!"

The knight at the head, a fiery man, roared twice and saw that there was no movement in the hut, so he stepped onto the porch.

Almost as soon as he stepped forward, a shrill whistle came from the cabin.

Two sharp arrows shot from the trees on both sides, and several knights were startled, dodging and dodging.

However, these two arrows also angered the knight at the head.

"Hide your head and shrink your tail, not annihilation and theft, give it to me!"

The four knights were about to rush over, Zheng Yanqing nodded, Dang Shixiong whistled again, Dang Shijie brothers opened their bows and arrows, almost at the same time, Dang Shixiong rushed out of the wooden house, Cang Chang slashed out of the sheath, and rushed towards the head of the knight. The knight was also aware of it, and after the two knights dodged the arrows, they rushed towards the hiding place of the Dang Shijie brothers, and the leader and another knight rushed forward and fought the Dang Shixiong.

Yan Qing was in the house, quietly observing.

Dang Shixiong was obviously not the opponent of those two, and after only four or five rounds, he fell behind.

Yan Qing put down the horizontal knife, took out a stone hard bow given to him by Changsun Sheng, pulled the bow and arrows, the bow opened like a full moon, his fingers slipped, only to hear the sound of Zheng, a sharp arrow whistled out of the house, and went straight to a knight.

To say that Zheng Yanqing has not been apprenticed for a long time, but when it comes to archery, he started learning four years ago.

Li Ji laid a very solid foundation for him in archery, and Changsun Sheng taught Yan Qing the key to archery.

It didn't take long, but his archery skills had already entered the house.

The power of a hard bow is fierce, and it is as fast as lightning. The knight was caught off guard, and when he saw the sharp arrow flying, he quickly dodged and dodged the vital point. But the arrow came so fast that it dodged the vital point, but it heard a pop and hit the knight in the thigh.

The knight screamed and fell to the ground with his legs clutched.

The two little mastiffs rushed out of the hut like a wind, and in the blink of an eye they came to the knight, and opened their mouths to bite the knight's throat.

"The brute is bold, dare to hurt my retainers!"

A coquettish sound came, and a fiery red war horse rushed into the sparse forest.

Immediately there is a female general, the bow is open like a full moon, the bow is tied to the arrow, and the thin waist is an arrow. The female general appeared too quickly, and the thin waist was young after all, and there was no time to dodge. Seeing that he was about to die under the arrow, he heard a bowstring, and a sharp arrow flew out of the wooden house, and hit the sharp arrow shot by the female general. Both arrows hit the ground at the same time.

"Thin waist and four eyes are back!"

Zheng Yanqing shouted, and twisted out another sharp arrow.

Suddenly, Jade Hoof Jun in the stable let out a violent hiss. Followed by the female general's crotch mount, she also looked up and hissed, as if relatives had seen each other, and she was extremely excited. The restless jumping of the red horse made the female general on the horse also look disgraced.

Holding the reins with one hand, he kept shouting.

"Everyone, stop!"

Zheng Yanqing also recognized the mount under the female general's crotch, which was Pei Xingyan's beloved red charcoal fire dragon horse.

He knew that there might be a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly shouted...... The three of them shook off their opponents and retreated to the front of the wooden house. The female general also turned over and dismounted, only to see a dragon horse with pure white fur turning from the back of the house, and the red horse ran over excitedly towards Jade Hoof. Fighting side by side for fifty days, this red charcoal fire dragon horse and the white dragon horse have an extremely deep relationship. The two horses ran together, neck to neck, very affectionate.

The Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Pony is a mare, so it is extremely attached to Jade Hoof.

Yan Qing motioned to the three brothers of the party family to get out of the way, and shouted in a deep voice: "People outside, but people from the Pei clan in Hedong? I am Zheng Yanqing, and I am good friends with Pei Xingyan. ”

"Huh?"

The female general shouted in surprise and waved her hand to signal the knight to stop.

At this time, more than a dozen knights hurriedly came in from outside the forest, holding pine oil torches, and illuminated the forest at once.

"Wine fairy, why are you here?"

The female general recognized Zheng Yanqing at a glance. This wine immortal is also the title he gave himself when he first made the song of the eight immortals.

Later, it spread out and was adopted by countless people.

From the beginning of the goose boy, to the later half-edged king, and then to the current wine fairy...... Even Zheng Yanqing himself doesn't know what other nickname he has. However, this female general looks quite familiar, and she is riding Pei Xingyan's mount, so she must be a very important figure in the Pei family.

Zheng Yanqing took a step forward and handed the hard bow in his hand to Dang Shijie.

Then he arched his hand, "Dare to ask this sister, what do you call Pei Xingyan?" ”

When the female general heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she giggled non-stop, only laughing so much that the flowers and branches trembled, revealing ten thousand styles.

"Little one, what did you just call me?"

"Ah, sister!"

The female general laughed even harder, and stepped forward, "Little guy, when Pei Xingyan saw me, he wanted to call me aunt, but you actually called me sister?" Isn't it a mess of generation? My name is Pei Shuying, and I was in Yuanbi City, cheering for you. ”

"Ah......h

Zheng Yanqing suddenly blushed and had a thick neck, which was extremely embarrassing.

"I've heard for a long time that you have two good mastiffs. When I saw it today, it was true...... Hee-hee, this is just a little older, and I learned to bite.

Brother Qing'er, with such a heavy rain, can you please let me go in and take shelter from the cold? ”

Zheng Yanqing suddenly realized, no wonder this female general looks a little familiar.

When it was said that she had cheered for him in Yuanbi City. It's just that the distance is too far, and Zheng Yanqing can't see it very really. I vaguely heard Pei Xingyan mention that the woman who shouted the craziest was Pei Shiju's only daughter, Pei Shuying.

"Auntie, please come in, it was really ...... just now Your family will not report their identity, I thought it was a bandit. Sins and sins, that big brother is fine. ”

The general who was shot by Zheng Yanqing was also helped up at this time, and the sharp arrow on his leg had been removed.

He was baring his teeth in pain, and when he heard Zheng Yanqing asking, he hurriedly said: "There is Lao Zheng Gongzi who is worried, and the villain is not good at learning arts, no wonder Zheng Gongzi." ”

Pei Shuying nodded, and said to the knight who was the leader: "I'll camp here tonight, and in the bag of the horse, there is a secret golden medicine made by Chao Yuanfang, just put it on Pei Yi...... And the three of you, just live outside. ”

Pei Shuying was unceremonious and instructed the three of them.

Dang Shijie glanced at Zheng Yanqing, and Zheng Yanqing nodded lightly, indicating that it was okay.

Pei Shuying is different from Zheng Yanqing, she is out and about, and all kinds of utensils are very complete. Two carriages drove in from outside, and the Pei family's family would immediately take action, quickly setting up several tents with the wooden house as the center.

The three brothers of the party family also got a share.

It's not as warm and dry as in a wooden house, but it's a comfortable night's sleep.

A group of men who were still drawing swords at each other just now, in the blink of an eye, they laughed and played together, like a family.

"Xiao Langjun, you are out of the house, but you are not particular at all." Pei Shuying looked at the simple appearance of the wooden house, couldn't help but shake her head, and sighed softly, "But in this way, it is also a bit of a charlatan!" ”
