Chapter 558: The Line Between Life and Death

At this time, because of the arrival of Xu Rong, the Taishou in the tavern, the other idle guests were all consciously gone, and only their table was left.

Without the disturbance of others, Xu Rong's voice was unnaturally louder. "Then I don't know what the two women call them?"

Ling Wanqing had already roughly understood Xu Rong's intention, and said with a smile: "General Xu, the little woman's name is Ling Xin, next to her is my half-sister Ling Fang, and the one next to her is her husband, Huang Ang!" ”

Zhang Ning and Huang Xu had vaguely guessed some of the situation when they heard Xu Rong report to his home before, but they both lowered their heads and didn't dare to answer at the moment, letting Ling Wanqing make it up.

"Huh? Ling Xin is already married? Xu Rong's face was shocked, and there was a slight disappointment in his eyes.

Ling Wanqing pretended not to know his intentions, but still said politely: "Yes, don't hide it from the general, my sister and Huang Ang have been family affairs since childhood, and now they have two children in Jingzhou. ”

"That's it!" Xu Rong's face was full of regret, but he didn't say anything, and soon looked at Huang Ang with relief: "General Ben watched you breathe steadily, your pace is solid, and you have a fierce spirit, you should be a person who practices martial arts, and you have achieved such a beautiful woman, you can protect her in this troubled world in the future." ”

Huang Xu was a little dissatisfied with his senior posture in his heart, but he still replied: "Contemptible people remember the general's admonition!" ”

Xu Rong nodded with a smile, quickly changed the topic, looked at Ling Wanqing and said, "Looking at all of you with martial arts, I don't know who your son-in-law is, and there is such an extraordinary retinue as you?" And the man is heroic, and the woman is beautiful? ”

"How can we be so praised by the general!" Ling Wanqing smiled implicitly, and made up nonsense without changing her face. "My son-in-law's surname is Zhang. It was after Zhang Liang, the famous minister of the early Han Dynasty. The ancestral land was originally in the north of the Yellow River. But in order to avoid the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has been many years since he moved to Jingzhou. ”

"Oh? It turned out to be after the famous ministers. Xu Rong said in surprise.

"Exactly!"

"That's not weird!" Xu Rong smiled relievedly and didn't ask any more.

At this time, a guard led the medical officer to arrive, and Xu Rong got up and said, "Heh, let's chat for a while, the medical officer has already arrived, since this is the case." Let's take a look at your son-in-law first! ”

"Thank you for your concern, General!"

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, the group quickly walked to the room where Wang Xu was resting, and after knocking on the door, Zhou Zhi, who was full of smiles, quickly opened the door.

When he walked to the house, he saw Wang Xu lying on the bed and moaning exaggeratedly.

Xu Rong only looked at him for the first time at this moment, but he was quite disappointed in his heart, feeling that even a little stomach pain was so ghostly and howling, which was not enough to achieve great things, and identified him as the son-in-law who was thanks to Zuyun's life.

The medical officer quickly crossed the crowd and stepped forward to signal Wang Xu to turn his head.

At this time. Ling Wanqing's heart had already risen to her throat, and a little sweat appeared on her forehead. The corners of his eyes kept observing Xu Rong's face, as well as where he was standing, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

But when Wang Xu really turned his head, she, Zhang Ning, and Huang Xu were all dumbfounded for a moment.

I saw Wang Xu at this moment, his hair was unkempt, the left side of his face was swollen like a steamed bun, he could barely open his eyes, his cheeks were red and swollen, and the top was iron blue, obviously suffering a heavy blow, and his appearance was miserable.

Because it was very sudden, the medical officer was also taken aback, took a deep breath before looking back at everyone, and wondered: "Is this patient treating a face injury or a stomach ache?" ”

When Xu Rong saw Wang Xu's miserable appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and he waved his hand casually and said, "Duzhi!" ”

The medical officer didn't speak, and slowly took Wang Xu's pulse.

Ling Wanqing and the others all breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, this appearance that is difficult for parents to recognize, plus they haven't seen each other for so many years, I'm afraid it's not so easy to recognize.

But just when everyone was relieved, Xu Rong looked at Wang Xu in a daze for a long time, but suddenly said out loud: "This son is so familiar, how does General Ben feel as if he has seen it somewhere!" ”

"Ahh Zhou Zhi's eyes widened instantly.

Wang Xu was even more cold, and scolded in his heart: Damn, do you still recognize it like this?

But after a while, Xu Rong shook his head again: "However, I really can't remember, maybe I've seen similar people!" ”

Everyone's hearts are really that beating, they almost didn't "jump" out directly, which can be called the line between life and death.

Wang Xu said even more "whining", but unfortunately because his cheeks were too swollen, his pronunciation was not too easy to recognize.

Everyone listened attentively, and then they realized that he was saying to Xu Rong: "The general should admit his mistake, I really haven't seen a general, such a majestic posture as a general, as long as I have seen it, it will definitely be unforgettable." ”

It's a pity, as he spoke, the corners of his mouth kept drooling because of the swelling, and Xu Rong, who looked disgusting, couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly waved his hand: "The little boy is injured, it's better to talk less." ”

Now in the hall, the only one who can be completely calm is the medical officer, who is used to seeing all kinds of patients, so he didn't react much, and quickly got up and gave back to Xu Rong: "General Xu, according to the pulse, this son's inner body should be fine, and the stomach pain may be due to eating bad food, but the injury on his face must be treated well, otherwise he may leave a mark and break his respect!" ”

"Nafan, please take the step to solve the problem."

"The contemptible must do his best!"

After speaking, the medical officer didn't say much, and quickly prescribed the medicine, and took out some slimy ointment from the medicine box and smeared it on Wang Xu's face.

After a short time, the medical officer finished dealing with it and said to Xu Rong: "General Xu, this son only needs to take the medicine on time, and it will be fine. ”

"Please!" Xu Rong nodded.

As the medical officer left, everyone turned around, Xu Rong didn't know what to say to them, he glanced at Zhang Ning again, and said with a little regret: "Since your son's illness is fine, then General Ben won't bother too much, and leave first!" ”

"General, please, thank you for your help this time." Ling Wanqing bowed and thanked her gently.

"It's okay, just make a friend, if this Hongnong people are in trouble and are bumped into by General Ben, they will do the same." said. Xu Rong didn't say much. He turned and left with the guards.

Until you leave the tavern. The young guard, who had been following Xu Rong's side, suddenly spoke up: "General, there is something wrong with the expressions of this group of people, and there are many things to hide in their words. ”

"I know!" Xu Rong glanced at him with a smile: "However, they are from Jingzhou, and it is right to go to Hebei, and it is natural to hide something when they travel, and they have no interest in each other." There's no need to dig too deep, but it's a pity that I like that woman is already married. ”

"If the general likes it, why don't you stay?" The guard asked.

"Huh! A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, since his body and mind already belong, why should he be too attached to it, why should a husband have no wife? It's not ...... to snatch a wife" Speaking of this, Xu Rong paused abruptly, remembering his lustful lord.

Immediately shook his head with a strange face, stopped talking, and turned to look at the young guard: "Jia Kui." When I passed through Hedong on the way, I took you in. It's been two years since I blinked, you're young, you're already quite observant, both civil and military, it's really too aggrieved to continue to be a guard by my side. ”

"Why did the general say this, I ......"

"Huh!" Xu Rong didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he had already interrupted: "The man is ambitious in all directions, don't say that frustrating words, you are a talent, I will recommend you to the lord after a while to see if you can be reused." ”

Jia Kui knew that Xu Rong was a person who said the same, so he didn't argue anymore, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the cultivation of the general!" ”

"Work hard!" Xu Rong patted Jia Kui's thick shoulder, and without saying much, he took a step.

Of course, Wang Xu didn't expect that the little guard who followed Xu Rong turned out to be a famous general in the middle and late Wei Kingdom in history, Jia Kui, who had outstanding merits!

At this moment, he was staring at Zhou Zhi with fierce eyes, although it was inconvenient to speak, he could still feel the fierce murderous aura: "Zhou Zhi, what is comparable to a meatloaf on my face, is what you said is measured?" ”

"Boss, you can't blame me, I'm completely thinking about you, if not, you won't be recognized by that Xu Rong?" As he spoke, Zhou Zhi looked at Ling Wanqing, who was holding back a smile.

"Hey, don't patronize and steal fun, help me be fair, if it weren't for me today, the boss would definitely be recognized, and everyone would have to give their lives here."

Ling Wanqing, who had spent the moment of life and death just now, was also relaxed at the moment, and joked: "Yes, thanks to our General Zhou, who beat Gongzi into a pig's head and saved our lives." ”

Huang Xu didn't dare to offend Wang Xu or Zhou Zhi, so he couldn't stop nodding: "Hmm, mm, mm!" ”

I don't know what exactly he "um" was there.

Zhang Ning wanted to laugh, but she didn't want to laugh in front of Wang Xu, when she suddenly found out a few days ago that this time she came out, she laughed more times than she had in her life, she refused to laugh anymore, no matter when she forced herself to collapse a face.

Wang Xu also knew in his heart that thanks to Zhou Zhi's shrewdness today, he no longer argued about this, but said: "Then what is it when you hit me in the neck and knock me out?" ”

"Good girl, if I don't knock you out, boss, then I'm the one who will be dizzy, so who will open the door when they enter this house?"

"Bastard thing!" Wang Xu was so angry that he grabbed a cup and threw it over.

A few people fought for a while, which also eliminated the previous fear, but Wang Xu thought about it, but he was still not very relieved, and soon said out: "I think Hongnong is not safe, the sooner you leave, the better!" ”

"Leaving so late?" Zhang Ning immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Let's go now, it won't be long before it's dark, why bother?" ”

Ling Wanqing frowned, and said hesitantly: "Childe, your body is not good, and you have been beaten so many times today, if you run around without resting, can you stand it?" I think that although Xu Rong is an enemy general, he is also a benevolent and righteous person, and he should not come to entangle Zhang Ning again. ”

It's okay not to say it, as soon as Ling Wanqing said it, Wang Xu's lungs suddenly itched unbearably, and he suddenly coughed: "Ahem, cough, cough...... No, I'm not worried about this, Xu Rong's character is good, but I'm worried that he will figure out that my face is familiar. ”

"This ......"

Several people looked at each other, and a little uneasy feeling arose.

Huang Xu was bored for a while, and couldn't help but say: "No matter what, the safety of the son is the most important, let's leave immediately, more things are better than less things!" ”

This time, no one argued.

Soon, everyone packed up their bags, quietly left the tavern, and led their horses out of the city...... (To be continued......)
