Chapter Twenty-Seven: Admiring the Follower
Wang Bi and Di Qing glanced at each other, and the two of them traveled in casual clothes, seeing that He Libo's tone and demeanor should not have recognized the two of them. Di Qing looked at He Libo, this young man has a strong figure, bronzed skin, square face and good facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes are heroic, if he is a general on the battlefield, he can think about his current situation and can't help but smile bitterly and say, "You go to Di Qing, do you know that Di Qing has long been without soldiers and generals." Is it just a fictitious person? ”
He Libo said with firmness in his eyes: "Master Di is famous, and the villain has always admired Master Di, and it is precisely because I heard that he is not satisfactory now that I have the opportunity to defect." After speaking, he looked at Di Qing and asked in surprise: "This benevolent brother, I saw that you had the word 'system' tattooed on your face, you must have been a soldier." I don't know if I've seen Master Di, I heard that he looks very powerful, every time he goes into battle, he wears a hair and a copper mask on his face. The enemy army was shocked, just looking at the general with the mask, his legs and feet were already half weak? ”
Di Qing smiled, and Wang was about to speak, when the shopkeeper leaned over and said, "Speaking of this Master Di, I really saw it once when I was young. ”
The people of this county laughed, and a middle-aged man said: "I said that the shopkeeper of Xiaolu, you have never been old, and when you were young, you buried our old neighborhoods." ”
Xiao Lu's shopkeeper snorted twice: "Uncles and uncles, I'm talking about seeing this Master Di when I was a child." When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he said proudly: "Does this Lord Di look like this,,, he is as white as this official." He pointed at Di Qing and continued: "However, Master Di is energetic and magnificent, not as thin as this official. Wang looked at Di Qing next to him, Di Qing had indeed lost a lot of weight, his eyes were sunken, his cheeks seemed to be shaved a little, and his appearance was dull, no wonder Xiao Er couldn't recognize it. Di Qing smiled slightly, but heard Xiao Lu's shopkeeper say again: "Big man, just your "snap", you subdued the tiger lady, you go back and teach me." ”
He Libo was laughed by him, and said: "What am I, Master Di is powerful, I heard that martial arts are world-beating, and the archery technique of piercing Yang in 100 steps is the real kung fu." ”
The shopkeeper shook his head: "It's useless for me to learn that, just learn how you don't get beaten." ”
The people who ate in the store laughed, and the people of this county said: "Shopkeeper Xiao Lu, your fear of guilt is more serious than Lord Wang Anshi in Bianjing City, and it is rumored that Lord Wang is afraid of guilt and does not dare to take a concubine." You are content not to be beaten every day. ”
Wang Bi and Di Qing glanced at each other, this person's words were terrifying, but it was true, and it was spread like this.
The shopkeeper Xiao Lu said while cleaning up the tables of the customers who left the shop: "Uncles and uncles, don't say anything. There is a son in the king's house, and I heard that he is a year younger than me. I've been chatting with everyone for a long time every day before I become a small shopkeeper, but my father is gone. What about the people, standing on the Jinluan Palace, boring and boring and boring with the emperor's old man, he was named an eight-rank official. It's almost time to catch up with our county master. ”
Wang Jian almost didn't laugh when he heard a sip of wine, this little Lu shopkeeper was poorer than himself, and he said: "You are the former county aunt, and you are almost the same as the son of the Wang family." ”
How do you know that Xiao Lu's shopkeeper pouted: "It's not enough to be eight products alone, the father-in-law is Bao Zheng, and the master is Di Qing." ”
The people of this county said: "Don't you have a tiger lady? The crowd laughed again.
Xiao Lu laughed dryly, "My daughter-in-law, it's fierce, but it hurts me a lot; What's more, the nobles of Wang Sun proposed marriage, and no one followed, just with me, the shopkeeper, and the murderous one. He smirked again, looking silly.
He Libo said: "Even if you are a daughter-in-law, why are you still called a mother?" ”
Xiao Lu's shopkeeper explained: "My daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and I haven't passed the door yet, my daughter-in-law is nicknamed Rouge Tiger, and her knowledge is greater than mine, and I can't beat her, so my mother will be beaten a lot."
Everyone was amused by him again, and the king also showed a rare smile when he saw Di Qing.
Between the jokes, a small sedan chair stopped in front of the tavern, followed by the sedan chair, an official walked into the store, looked around, walked to Di Qing next to the king, Shi Li said: "May I ask if the two of you are Lord Di and Lord Wang?" ”
The two frowned, they didn't want to alarm the government on this trip, but when they saw that the official was asking, they nodded. Everyone in the store suddenly fell silent, and looked at them in surprise, and He Libo looked at Di Qing with wide eyes and then looked at Wang.
The official handed over the name of the county magistrate and said: "The county magistrate invites you to come to the house and stay for a few days." The special villain greeted him, and the county lord had already set up a banquet waiting for the two adults. ”
Di Qing didn't want to refuse, whispered a few words to the king, stood up and asked Xiao Lu's shopkeeper to settle the bill......
Xiao Lu's shopkeeper said: "Oh, look at my short-sighted strength, this is mine." ”
Di Qing took out an ingot of about two taels of silver, put it on the table and said, "Take it, even this little brother's is on my account." After speaking, he took Wang and walked out of the store.
Wang Bian walked past He Libo and patted him on the shoulder, He Libo was still in a daze, Wang Bian said "Let's go the same way" and walked out of the store.
Di Qing got on the sedan chair, and Wang followed behind the sedan chair like a county official. The talents in the store came to their senses and discussed one after another, and the shopkeeper Xiao Lu saw that He Libo was still sitting there, so he called him: "You big man, you can't be stupid, don't go quickly." ”
He Libo was awakened by these words, hurriedly stood up and turned around and chased out.
Only stayed in Weishi County for two days, the three of them were ready to continue their journey, a carriage, followed by two horses, Di Qing sat in the carriage, there were joys and worries in his heart, the joy was that it was rare to receive He Libo by his side, and there was no news from Liang Yuexia.
Wang Fang is also happy, this He Libo is ten ** years old, and he seems to have practiced some martial arts. Along the way, there can be more than one person to protect Di Qing, and besides, this He Li Bo is straightforward, but it is easy to get along.
Before the carriage and horses left the county seat, they saw Xiao Lu's shopkeeper running towards them with a cloth bag on his back. Panting, he ran up to them and said, "Take me with you." ”
He Libo said, "What are you doing with it? Isn't it scared for the tiger lady?"
Xiao Lu snorted and then said to the people in the carriage shed: "Master Di, I also inquired, you two don't have a follower on this trip, if you don't dislike it, take me with you." ”
Di Qing hesitated for a moment, and the shopkeeper Xiao Lu said again: "You see that I opened this shop, I can't survive without the care of the neighbors, and it's not a long thing, so you let me follow you and serve me to learn something." ”
He Libo said, "My lord has me to serve, what can you do?" ”
Xiao Lu's shopkeeper said while hiding from He Libo's horse's head: "You just follow Master Di, no matter what Lord Wang says, he is also a son, and someone has to serve him." He turned his head and continued to beg Di Qing: "My lord, you can accept the villain, just take care of food and housing, and don't pay for it." ”
Di Qing lifted the cotton curtain on the side of the carriage and looked at the king, who felt that this little Lu shopkeeper was clever, so he nodded and said: "Teacher, if he wants to follow, just follow, anyway, the housekeeper is gone, this Xiao Lu shopkeeper is very clever, we really need manpower." ”
Di Qing said to Xiao Lu's shopkeeper, "If you settle down, just follow it, but" Xiao Lu's shopkeeper said: "My lord, don't worry, the store is rented out, and the tiger lady will collect the accounts on a monthly basis, anyway, it's still early to get married, and I want to go through for two years." After saying that, he looked at the tall horses of the king and He Libo, and scratched his head.
The king saw that it was difficult for him to get up the horse, so he pointed to the seat where Di Qing's carriage driver sit, which was enough for two people to sit side by side, and the coachman sat a little sideways, leaving some space for Xiao Lu's shopkeeper. Xiao Lu's shopkeeper responded: "Okay! Jumped on the throne, made a whipping gesture, and shouted: "Guys, walk"
The people in the car were all amused by him, but they also left Weishi County happily and continued their journey.
After passing through Fugou County and going to Xihua County, Xiaoxing stayed overnight for nearly ten days and came to the outside of Zhoukou County. He Libo urged the horse to go first, and went to the county seat to find a good store to set a room, since he lived in the store and settled down, then Lu Shenyan, who was also the shopkeeper of Xiao Lu, had already chosen a place to eat nearby and set a meal. and he was responsible for boiling medicine for Di Qing every day, and Wang Bei was much more relaxed.
Only occasionally there are still shadows outside the window, and Wang Bei knows that this person has followed all the way, and once, he was discovered by He Libo. Since then, He Libo has also been alert, probably because he saw that there were more people around Di Qing, but there were fewer black shadows.
Thinking that he could reach Chenzhou after walking for two or three days, Wang was happy in his heart, but Di Qing seemed to be getting more and more depressed, and his condition had just relapsed, and he had caught up with the heavy snow, and he fell ill in Didian as soon as he entered Zhoukou County. Everyone had to stay in Zhoukou County for two more days.
In the room on the second floor of the Didian on this day, Di Qing felt a little better, so he asked He Libo to open the window, and the outside was covered in snow, and the entire county was shrouded in snow. Di Qing sighed, this heavy snow can't stop for half a day, and it is estimated that it will stay for two more days.
In the room: Lu Shenyan was boiling medicine on the charcoal stove, he stirred the medicine jar with chopsticks, He Libo didn't know where to take out a pair of chess, beckoned the king to play two games, Lu Shenyan smiled and said: "You big man, will also wait in the square pavilion to see each other's rotten Ke cyclists?" It's bound to lose to Childe. ”
He Libo glared at him: "You Xiao Lu, fry your medicine, what if I win the son?" ”
Lu Shenyan said: "If you win, it will be Gongzi who will let you." He Libo ignored him.
Wang smiled next to him, these two people are always bickering, with these two people all the way is also lively, he himself is also a person who likes to be lively, although he also said intimate words with Wang Yuanze in Wang Anshi's mansion, but Wang Yuanze is everyone's son, he speaks more seriously, and sometimes he can't make jokes if he wants to.
Not to mention that there is a Wang Anshi who is proficient in chess, so he said: "Okay, today is the so-called next game: the north wind blows people can't come out, sit down and can play chess with you." It was not too late for the Ming Dynasty to surrender, and it was never too late to chant poetry."
I admired myself when I spoke.
Seeing that He Libo Baizi put on a "thousand miles on the opposite side" chess posture, Wang next thought that the "Flying Swan" chess posture was against him, and while playing, he thought that He Libo was not an ordinary character, looking tall and mighty, but also delicate, take his next issue as an example, the opposite thousands of miles of chess is not afraid, but also ingenious. The king doesn't want to fight, the next killer. He Libo Bai has a wonderful hand, the abandonment tactics strive for a reprisal, Wang next to the is not in a hurry, and does not pay attention to the abandoned son, still concocted the same method to continue to kill the killer, He Libo is in a tight formation, but has been killed by Wang Pan to attack the gap, I wanted to abandon the son to keep most of the wall, which Wang next to the continuous onslaught is weak, this game of chess looks like He Libo has been defeated.
Lu Shenyan looked at the chessboard and said, "What did I say?" He Libo admitted defeat and continued to restart, Lu Shenyan saw that the game was not so tense, so he said to the king who was resting and drinking tea: "Childe, why do I think these two ends are not quite right?" ”
The king asked, "What's wrong?" Lu Shenyan took out the boiled medicine grate, and said, "For so many days, no matter where the county is or where we go, the county master will invite you to entertain, but it has been two days since we arrived in Zhoukou County, why haven't we even seen the figure of the official?" ”
