Zhao Kuangyin is very neat.

After all, it is the one who leads the troops, and the army of tens of thousands of people will set off as soon as they give the order.

Not to mention a small team of two hundred people.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Kuangyin let the ships dock at the nearest wharf, let his two cavalry go ashore, and go to Ezhou from the land first, and he sent a letter to the Ezhou Forbidden Army and Shanzitang.

The letter to the Ezhou Forbidden Army is to arrange for the replacement of horses.

The letter to Shanzitang was Xu Yongzhi's handwriting, asking Xu Taiyue to prepare, and at the same time asking Xu Taixing to arrange two big cars to pick up Xu Yongzhi and Duan Zishou.

Zhao Dalang never catches his blind when he comes to the front, he is a good leader, a subordinate, and a good subordinate.

When the ship arrived at the Ezhou wharf two days later, the army's horses and the carriages of Shanzitang had already been arranged.

Huo Yizun, Xu Taishi and Duan Meimei were also already at the dock to greet them.

Xu Taiyue has also packed up and is ready to follow Zhao Kuangyin to Bianliang.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't delay at all.

"Brother, you can recuperate well in Ezhou," Zhao Kuangyin said, "When you are ready, go directly to Bianliang City to find me." ”

After saying that, he was not polite, left Xu Yongzhi in the boat, and went out to get on the horse with Zhang Tianshi and Zhang Bei.

Half of the cavalry followed him first, and the people of Longhu Mountain and the rest of the foot soldiers walked slowly behind.

Xu Taishi is also a considerate and thoughtful person, and he has long arranged for his men to send beef, steamed buns, flatbread and wine to Zhang Tianshi and Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers.

"Don't drink wine, everyone take meat and steamed buns and eat them immediately!" Zhao Kuangyin was very satisfied.

He and Xu Taishi thanked him:

"Everyone in Shanzitang, you have worked hard, and please continue to support us in the future."

Smart people can speak, obviously it was you, General Zhao, who saved Xu Yongzhi, but what he thanked was such a trivial matter.

That's the big shots.

The little people will do you a small favor, and you have to say it back and forth several times, several times.

Zhao Kuangyin lightly beat the horse, and the group ran north to Kaifeng Mansion.

The sense of majesty and order embodied by this person made the well-informed Xu Taishi and Huo Yizun secretly pick their fingers.

Zhao Kuangyin left, and everyone from Shanzitang hurriedly boarded the boat.

Huo Yizun greeted him, saw that Xu Yongzhi was in a good condition, and said in a low voice: "Congratulations to Gongzi, it is very advantageous to make friends with this person, and Gongzi's future lies in this person." ”

Xu Taishi came over to see Xu Yongzhi's injuries.

"The skin was wounded, the crossbow arrow passed through, the arrow was not poisonous, and it did not touch the big blood and bones." Xu Yongzhi said.

Xu Taishi saw that the wound was very neatly wrapped, so he didn't open it first, and hurriedly asked the guy to carry his son into the car.

Duan Meimei had complicated emotions, and when she walked to the bow of Gongzi's boat, she couldn't help but look at Ah Shou's boat, and when she saw Ah Crisp from afar, she shouted: "Sister, don't worry, he's very good, look at Brother Xu!" ”

Duan Meimei ran over and grabbed Xu Yongzhi's hand.

"I secretly saved a lot of money, and I can support you for a lifetime." She said in a low voice.

"Stupid, I'm not paralyzed." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Being paralyzed can take care of you for the rest of your life."

Duan Meimei said, followed the guy to send Xu Yongzhi to the car, hurriedly ran to the back of the car to take a look at Duan Zishou, and hurriedly ran back to Xu Yongzhi's car.

The two big cars went straight to Xu Taiyue's house.

It was still the room where Xu Yongzhi lived at the beginning, but the house was carefully cleaned and cleaned by Duan Meimei.

Xu Yongzhi and Duan Zishou were placed on the second floor, separated by two empty rooms, and Duan Meimei's reason was that Ah Shou was snoring.

Xu Taishi untied the wounds of the two and checked them, and found that there was no major problem, so he bandaged them again and arranged for Huo Yizun to live downstairs to protect the safety of the two of them.

"Uncle Taishi," Xu Yongzhi said, "give me a good sword in Ezhou, the same weight system as the three thousand guan, the surface should be silver-plated, and there is also a set of chain mail, preferably a light product of the Western Regions." ”

"Okay, let's do it." Xu Taishi agreed.

"After I recover from my injuries, I will join the Great Zhou Forbidden Army and serve as a personal soldier under General Zhao's account." Xu Yongzhi told everyone.

"Just a soldier?" Duan Meimei didn't understand it a little.

"Isn't it good to be a soldier?"

"Shouldn't people with strong martial arts be guards with swords in front of the emperor?" Duan Meimei asked.

"That's the plot of the play," Xu Yongzhi said, "Besides, I don't work for the Emperor of the Great Zhou, the objects I work for are General Zhao and Brother Zhao, he saved me, and he is a hero, I will fight for him, and he is also the hope of our destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”

"Childe's trick is very good, if it is a cronie of General Zhao of the Taibao of the school, and he will become the envoy of one party and one town in the future, then let alone Li Forsythia, even if it is Li Yu, the dog emperor, we don't have to worry." Huo Yizun was very much in favor.

"I still think you should be a commander, you are in charge of thousands of people in Shanzitang, and it is not a problem to lead troops to fight." Duan Meimei said.

"Brother Zhao also said that I can be an officer, but I want to use my own strength, not his connections, to get ahead in the military camp of the Great Zhou." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Congratulations," Xu Taishi said, "Childe, after this war, I think your perspective on problems and the world seems to be different. ”

"I used to do things far away, and the future is one thing, revenge on Li Lianqiao!"

"Great!" Xu Taishi and Huo Yizun were very happy.

"After I recover from my injury, Uncle Yizun, Meimei, Ah Crisp and Ah Shou will go to Bianliang with me, and Uncle Taishi will continue to be in charge of Ezhou while Uncle Taiyue is away, we will make this an outpost, and I will use parrots to deliver messages to everyone."

"Chirp ashes!" Xu Yongzhi whistled.

The chirp ash flew over, and Xu Yongzhi asked the twitter ash to recognize everyone one by one, so that it would be convenient to contact him in the future.

"What a beautiful bird." Duan Meimei looked at the gray parrot and couldn't help but stroke her feathers.

"Pretty girl," Chirp Ash replied, "Coco doesn't like it. ”

"Who's Coco?" Duan Meimei asked.

"My cousin, the original owner of Chirp Ash." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Is Coco pretty?" Duan Meimei asked the parrot.

"Long legs!" Chirp Ash said.

"Don't be mischievous, chirp ash, this is Duan Meimei, my friend." Xu Yongzhi said.

Chirp Ash turned his head away.

"He's quite personal." Duan Meimei said.

"There are so many things in his heart, and there are so many words in his mouth, he understands." Xu Yongzhi said.

Duan Meimei took the melon seeds and gave them to the chirp ash to eat, and the chirp ash was not polite, and she opened a large number of melon seeds in three clicks and two clicks.

"When you're full, help me send a letter to Xiaogui." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Okay." Chirp Ash agreed.

Xu Yongzhi took a pen and wrote a short message.

"Zhou burned Longhu Mountain, the master and uncle have gone to Kaifeng, and Xiao Duo and the master and the mother have fled. Pity. ”

Fill the feet of the chirp ash, and the chirp ash flutters its wings and goes to Jinling.

Without a talking bird staring, Duan Meimei was much more at ease.

"I'll wipe you down."

This is really needed, after a bloody battle, whether it is the people of Longhu Mountain or Zhao Kuangyin, there is no one suitable to take care of Xu Yongzhi, Xu Yongzhi is nothing more than simply washing his face, cleaning the wounds under his ribs and legs, he really needs to wash it well.

The old servant in the downstairs room brought water up and poured it into a large basin.

Or she came in with bath water, just like when everyone first met face-to-face.

The only way to solve worries is hot water.

Sweat, exhaustion, and sadness all retreated under Duan Meimei's gentle scrubbing.

"I'll wash it myself."

"Okay, you're a wounded now, aren't you?"

"I'll be embarrassed."

Duan Meimei took out a handkerchief from her arms and covered Xu Yongzhi's face.

"What are you doing...... Xu Yongzhi was covered with his face covered, and asked angrily.

"The girl will marry you in a moment!" Duan Meimei was teasing him.

Sure enough, the most important thing for people who don't wear pants is actually their faces.

Cover your face, and people will not be so embarrassed.

Duan Meimei washed Xu Yongzhi cleanly, and helped him put on his pajamas, and then took off the handkerchief.

"Look, my son-in-law is blushing!"

"No, it's stuffy. And say me, you see you are red! ”

"I've never seen an adult without pants, embarrassed for you!"

Meimei poured the residual water, washed her hand towels, and came back to open the window, and the sky outside was already gloomy.

"Childe, you've been gone for almost two months."

"I'm back anyway." Xu Yongzhi comforted her.

"It's getting cold."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm not blaming you, I made you a dress." Duan Meimei took out a long gown.

The blue cloth shirt is made of colored kapok thread, and the texture is silky like satin.

"It's comfortable to look at, and I'll try again when my leg is better."

"It definitely fits, your size, it's all clear in my head."

"Speak like I'm in your head."

"You've been there, I've been worried to death for the past two months you've been out."

"Are you afraid that I will meet a bad woman again?"

"I don't care if you lose your body 10,000 times, I'm afraid you're in danger."

"And," Duan Meimei said, "I don't think I will suffer the loss of a bad woman anymore." ”

"No, the most difficult days are over, now we have new companions, Uncle Yi and Ah Crisp have joined us, Chirp Ash has also helped a lot, and with the support of General Zhao, our strength will become stronger and stronger."

Duan Meimei couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Ah Crisp's naughty and cute face.

"Uncle Yi asked me if I would like to let Ah Crisp and Ah Shou get married, of course, it will take a few years." Duan Meimei said.

"Yes, you are Amori's sister, and you have the consent of your parents."

"Of course, I'm still a little worried."

"Worried about what?"

"A child born will have a tail."

Ah Crisp in the next room turned into a panda and fell asleep next to Duan Zishou's bed, suddenly sneezing crisply.

"Who's talking about me......"

The rain was pouring down.

Just like the day Duan Meimei met Xu Yongzhi for the first time.

"It's raining." Duan Meimei had nothing to say.

"Autumn rain, just like the day I walked into the old store."

"Childe, do you remember?"

"Meimei."

"Huh?"

"Although I am the son of a wizard, I have no talent for witchcraft at all."

"I heard from Uncle Yizun."

"I feel like I'm such a piece of shit."

"What do you say, look at me, I don't know spells, I don't know swordsmanship, I follow you with the same cheekiness, I like you." Duan Meimei said.

"You are the most profitable shopkeeper in our Shanzitang." Xu Yongzhi said.

"But you're not short of money," Duan Meimei said, "I always feel like I can't give you the support you want." ”

"I can make money, which shows that I am sophisticated and smart."

"You're the best-looking son in our Shanzitang." Duan Meimei said.

"Shanzitang doesn't need to be good-looking." Xu Yongzhi smiled bitterly.

"Then I repeat, you are the best person in the world."

"For the first time in my life, I was issued a good person card by a girl."

"I repeat, you are the person I have met in my life and who cares about me the most." Duan Meimei said.

Xu Yongzhi wanted to interrupt her words, but Duan Meimei put her finger on his lips.

"Let people talk, the sky can't fall," Duan Meimei said, "You are also my favorite and most loving person." ”

Duan Meimei imprinted her lips on Xu Yongzhi's lips, and with a gentle probe, the tip of her tongue smacked Xu Yongzhi's tongue.

Childe on the tip of the tongue.

The elbow touched Xu Yongzhi's wound, and Xu Yongzhi let out an "oops".

"I'm sorry." Duan Meimei hurriedly sat back.

"I didn't take the opportunity to seduce you, Childe." Duan Meimei said.

"I know." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I just don't feel angry, Chen Xiaohuan has kissed you." Duan Meimei said.

"Chen Xiaohuan is deliberately stimulating you, she likes girls." Xu Yongzhi said.

"How could it be, she kissed you so loudly!" Duan Meimei said.

"It's for you, just bury your head in the meat buns and eat them, just chirp, that's to gluttony others." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I seem to get it." Duan Meimei said.

"Got what?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"You are not ashamed to treat yourself as a meat bun." Duan Meimei said.

Duan Meimei always has the ability to comfort people, this ability, neither Xiaogui nor Kou Kou will have.

With a girl like this by your side, everything will become very much like home.

But...... Xu Yongzhi really has no way to respond to such tenderness.

"Meimei, I'm sorry, my seven senior brothers died in Longhu Mountain, and I still have to digest these things slowly."

"If you'd like, tell me about them, the happy times they had with you."

"Happy times?"

"Yes, don't just remember their deaths, their lives will definitely leave a good mark on you."

"Ah, that makes sense. Let me tell you the story of Lu Zongfu. ”

"Okay!"

Meimei looked at the window.

"It's a little cold, but I don't want to close the window."

"Me too, I like rainy days."

"What then?"

"Put on the new dress you made for me."

"No, I'll lie next to you, you let me put on some quilts."

"Hey, no, how will the girl's family find her in-laws in the future?"

"What's not good, what's not good, I've been with you for so long, what kind of in-laws are you looking for!"

I hate it, this style of telling the truth was influenced by Huo Yizun, "no talent" is what this old man said.

Duan Meimei jumped on the bed, got into the quilt, and chilled Xu Yongzhi.

"Hey, it's cold."

"Now I'm warm, Childe, you go on."

"One year, I took Xiaogui to Longhu Mountain and lived in the Taoist temple."

"The master knew Xiaogui's situation, so she prepared a room for her, Lu Zongfu was younger than Xiaogui at that time, he just entered the master's door, he was scared when it thundered at night, and the brothers laughed at him, so he ran to sleep with Xiaogui's brother."

"Xiao Gui was angry and said, what do you think, why don't you go and sleep with Senior Brother Yongzhi?"

"Because you are better looking than Senior Brother Yongzhi, my sister took me to sleep when I was a child!"

"Hahaha."

Xiaogui had no choice later, so he let Lu Zongfu in and coaxed him to sleep. It took a long time for Lu Zongfu to understand that Xiaogui was a girl in his heart, and he had said to me before, Senior Brother, you have Brother Xiaogui like you, so happy. ”

"I think, Zongfu should be disappointed in me, I got into so much trouble, and in the end, I didn't save any of my senior brothers."

"What about Zong Min? Zong Min has always felt that he is my foil and my follower. If I am the protagonist of a play, Zong Min is the character who gives me the work before and after. ”

"Just like Zhou Cang and Master Guan?"

"That's right, just like Zhou Cang and Master Guan."

"But Master Guan is a hero until he dies, right, Zhou Cang will definitely be proud of Master Guan until he dies."

"Yi Zongmin won't be proud of me, he is angry that I ruined my teacher, he is angry that I have caused my parents, he likes my home, he respects my father and mother, he thinks I shouldn't do those things."

"In his mind, Li Lianqiao teased his jealousy of me, but in the end, he still overcame that thought and died in front of me."

"I want to scold myself," Xu Yongzhi said sadly, "Xu Yongzhi, seven brothers died for you, what are you?" The protagonist of a legendary novel? Damn it, it's you who should pay the price! ”

Duan Meimei took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from Xu Yongzhi's face.

"When I left Jinling, I had a quarrel with Xiaogui, and I said that she loved Fugui." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Childe, you can be a little muddy occasionally, especially in front of someone who truly loves you. So at some important junctures, your emotions are in Xiaogui's place and my place. Duan Meimei said.

Xu Yongzhi hooked Meimei's neck and shed tears silently.

Meimei does not avoid Xiaogui, and she will never erase her, she puts herself and Xiaogui side by side generously, this kind of understanding and openness sometimes makes Xu Yongzhi a little caught off guard.

"Meimei, I'm going to join the army."

"You said it just now, what, are you worried?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I've never worked for someone else, and I've never listened to someone else's orders."

"Hahaha, really, you became a leader at the age of fifteen."

"You have to teach me how to have a good relationship with the leader, how to swallow my anger."

"Bear with it, I will continue to save money, if you are bullied by the captain in the future, I will take the money to find him, buy the barracks, and let you be the captain."

"How can it be!"

Xu Yongzhi felt that this was absurd, but think about it, didn't he do it back then?

There are women like Xia Xiaogui, who can support life and death;

There are women like Duan Meimei, who can entertain the body and mind.

Both girls are good, but who do I really like?

Xu Yongzhi remembered the story of Jingniang told by Zhao Kuangyin.

Duan Meimei could have recruited a husband and been the female innkeeper for a lifetime, but now she is adrift in a foreign land, kidnapped, intimidated, and offended a group of wizards and a country.

What should I do?

Take her away?

Give her a peaceful life?

Set her free?

I don't understand.

When you're in your twenties, everyone's troubles are probably the same.

Duan Meimei's breathing became lighter and thinner, and she fell asleep.

The way she sleeps,

very

Good

See.
