At the same time that Zhou Zhuocheng pulled the crossbow machine, Zhao Kuangyin also made a move.

There was a stick on his foot, it was Duan Zishou's rattan stick, although this stick was not metal, but it was a hundred-year-old vine with excellent toughness.

Zhao Kuangyin stepped on his foot and pulled it to the side of his body, and the stick rolled to the surface of his feet, and he kicked the stick out with the surface of his feet, and the stick went straight to Zhou Zhuocheng.

Zhou Zhuocheng aimed at Xu Yongzhi, and looked at it kindly, and when he felt that he was hit by a strong force on his elbow, he couldn't help but let out a "oops" at that time, and the crossbow was gone.

The stick bounced back, and Zhao Kuangyin caught it.

"General Zhou, thank you, if you don't kill this young man, I will return you a favor in the future."

After speaking, Zhang Bei hugged Xu Yongzhi, Zhao Kuangyin carried Duan Zishou, and the soldiers surrounded Zhang Tianshi and walked straight out of the gate, leaving Zhou Zhuocheng and Jiangnan Qunhao here with big eyes and small eyes.

"General......" Sun Yijin came up.

Zhou Zhuocheng kept smacking the stick.

"That's right."

This stick is exactly where we say "numb tendons" in our daily life.

"General...... We are under your leadership...... Successful ......"

"Get out!"

"Yes, yes......" Sun Yijin turned to Qunhao and made a gesture.

"Thanksgiving to the general, thanks to the court, sighing about the years, let us have a new life!" Everyone said in unison.

"Southern Tang is the power!" Sun Yijin shouted.

"Strange things are blooming!" Qunhao responded.

What was supposed to be a celebration of victory has now become particularly harsh.

"Get out of here!"

Sun Yijin hurriedly asked everyone to carry him out of the door.

Zhou Zhuocheng waved his hand: "It's burned, it's all burned." ”

The soldiers set fire to the connoisseurs, and after a while, the Heavenly Master's Mansion for more than 600 years was on fire.

"The people didn't arrive, but forced Zhang Tianshi to run away from home, how to report when he went back is still a trouble."

"Grab some ordinary people in the town and go back, let them talk about Zhang Tianshi's rebellion!"

"Yes!" The GIs worked together.

Xu Yongzhi woke up from a coma and found himself in a boat.

The wound is bandaged.

Zhao Kuangyin sat beside him.

"Thank you, General Zhao, for the rescue." He stood up and saluted.

"Your injuries aren't healed, don't get up." Zhao Kuangyin stopped him.

"Where's my master?"

"He was taking care of Duan Zishou, originally this child was as strong as a cow, and the wound was fine, but he was allergic to smoke and dust, and he had a rash all over his body, but he was just sneezing and drowsy, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

"That haze is not poisonous, but some people are very sensitive. Use some diaphoretic medicine to relieve the surface, and sleep is fine. Xu Yongzhi said.

"I didn't expect you to be young and understand medicine, which is great." Zhao Kuangyin looked happy.

"My family is in the pharmacy business, and Shanzitang is opened by my family." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Oh oh oh, I grabbed the medicine from your house for my mother, and your medicine is very good. Little brother, you are such a young master of a merchant family, how could you provoke the Southern Tang Dynasty? Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"Hey, that's a long story......"

"Anyway, there is nothing else to do on the boat, you just talk to the eldest brother, don't hide it from you, although the elder brother is more than ten years older than you, but I have a younger brother Zhao Er, who is about the same age as you, and he also causes trouble all day long, but I love this brother the most, I see you surrounded and bullied, I remembered him, I watched you compete, you are a good boy, a good man, I can't bear to see you killed by these people."

Zhao Engong asked, Xu Jin didn't dare not answer.

"What kind of husband is not kind to the father, just call me Brother Zhao."

Xu Yongzhi briefly described his experiences in Anguo, Linquan, Tanzhou, Qinling, and Yuzhou.

As we said earlier, Zhao Kuangyin grew up in the courtyard of the school, and there were no open-air movies in the courtyard at that time.

Everyone's favorite thing to watch is the military drama (similar to cross talk) and legendary stories (similar to today's storytelling), after Zhao Kuangyin became an adult, he traveled around as a soldier to fight, and there was no good story for many years.

"And then?"

"And later?"

After listening to a big story, Zhao Da still has to touch the taste.

"Oh, brother, although you are young, this life is full of ups and downs, brother, I can't compare...... Zhao Kuangyin said.

"I'd rather be in the countryside of Linquan quietly at the moment."

"You have been working too hard, too tired, too nervous in the past few months, and you haven't rested. When you recover, all these troubles will make you stronger. ”

"Big brother, I've always felt sorry for it."

"Brother, what do you regret?"

"I wanted to not fall into the female sex at the beginning, but I'm afraid it won't be so painful now."

"Silly boy, what's this called?"

"I've always thought of my dad as a big man."

"Your father has also had his troubles, and he has also suffered from that woman's losses."

"That's right."

"But you still think your dad is a hero, don't you?"

"Of course!"

"So, have you ever suffered a woman's loss, and whether you are a big husband is two different things, right?"

"Hmmm......"

"You tell a story to your eldest brother, and your eldest brother will tell you a story too."

"Xu Jin is willing to listen!"

"When I was 20 years old, I passed by a Taoist crown in Quyang, Hebei Province, and a girl was crying, and I asked her why she was crying, and she said, two robbers robbed me here, and the two of them went to compete for me."

"I thought about it, so I simply went to kill the two robbers, but I don't know how the two of them work, and it's not easy to take a girl, so I think about it, so I should hurry up and take the girl to go first."

"Big brother is very clear."

"I don't want to cause trouble, why do you keep such a bad guy? I like to hear that you killed forty-seven horse thieves for your junior sister. ”

"This girl is also surnamed Zhao, I think the same surname is a family, so she is commensurate with her brother and sister. Her name is Jing Niang. ”

"Jing Niang, a beautiful name, and a very gentle person."

"Very gentle, very beautiful, seventeen years old, a Shanxi girl."

"I've traveled thousands of miles along the way, and I've been walking with her, and there's a word called long-term love, not fake. She likes me Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao can also see it. ”

"Big brother, do you like her?"

"It's false to say that you don't like it, some people say that people who practice martial arts are not good women, isn't this nonsense? We practice martial arts just to make ourselves a little tired, and we don't have the heart to worry about those things, but a good girl is in front of you, can you not like it? ”

"That's what Big Brother said."

"I'll send her all the way, I'm almost to Shanxi, I'm staying in a hotel, the store is full, and there is only one room left, isn't it a vulgar plot?"

"Hey, hey, indeed, it's the shopkeeper who helps every time, big brother, have you asked to sleep in the stable?"

"Request, I said, it's okay to sleep in the stable, I like horses."

"And then?"

"Jing Niang said, big brother, come to the room, we are brother and sister, so what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will miss your life, and if it gets out in the future, how can you find your in-laws?"

"The world is in chaos, I don't know if I'm alive or dead tomorrow, what kind of in-laws are I looking for? People who like me will naturally believe my words, and people who don't care about me, what can they do if they point their fingers and poke and poke them? If you sleep in the stable, big brother, frostbite, and have a horse with short stirrups, I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Zhao Kuangyin poured a bowl of wine from the jug and took a deep sip.

"Brother, pour me a bowl too." Xu Yongzhi said,

"The old way doesn't let you drink. Said that the wound was drunk, and the wound grew slowly. ”

"Don't be afraid of slowness, anyway, we are on the ship, and we have time."

"Hahaha, brother, you and I have a temper."

Zhao Dalang poured a bowl of wine for Xu Yongzhi.

"Big brother, respectfully. also for this knowledgeable Jing Niang sister. ”

The two took a big sip together, and Zhao Kuangyin continued.

"Jing Niang is such a good woman, strange woman."

"I made a bunk on a bench in my room, borrowed a quilt, and slept like that. In the middle of the night, I heard Jing Niang sighing. ”

"I asked Jing Niang, sister, I think I'm worried about my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law at home."

"She said, no, brother, I just feel sorry, if only I didn't have the surname Zhao. Everyone has the same surname Lianzong, I can't be your wife, a man like you, I'm afraid I can't find a second one in the world. ”

Xu Yongzhi and Brother Zhao touched the wine bowl, and Brother Zhao took a sip.

Have you ever had a deep conversation with someone who is like an elder brother drinking late at night?

Have you ever confided in a like-minded little brother who hit it off at first sight?

People should have such an experience in this life.

Grievances, sadness, sorrow, despair, the moment you say it to your friends after the incident, you are about to be well.

Zhao Dalang told this little brother what he couldn't tell his brother.

"I was also very moved at the time, but her sadness was real, we were of the same clan, that is, we couldn't get married, so no matter what, I couldn't take this step."

"Big brother, are the rumors on the rivers and lakes true?"

"What rumors?"

"Said that your old mother heard that you were going to send the girl home, and put on a dress of her own for Sister Jing Niang, and said, if you have any wrong thoughts, just look at the old lady's clothes, think about the old lady's entrustment, offending Jing Niang, it is equivalent to offending your own mother, is there really such a thing?"

"Hahaha, brother, I'll go back and meet your mother, my mother is fat, and her clothes can hold more than three Jing Niang. When I rescued Jingniang, my mother was at home at all, not by my side, this story is really fictional. ”

"Of course, I have also heard a lot of legends on the rivers and lakes, saying that Jing Niang is interesting to Zhao Da, but Zhao Dayi said solemnly, we are brothers and sisters, we can't do this kind of corrupt thing, and scold Jing Niang. Brother, do you think it's possible? ”

"Impossible."

"Why can't it be?"

"The eldest brother is a good man, a good hero, how can this kind of words in the dark room, if the girl pours out her love, how can she show off to outsiders?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"That's right! This is where Lao Zhao appreciates you, how can I say those things to outsiders. Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Big brother, in fact, let Jingniang stay incognito, it's okay to go with you." Xu Yongzhi took a sip of wine.

"Jing Niang has a good impression of me, and I am also moved by Jing Niang. But if she changes her name and surname and goes with me without permission, she will be separated from her parents and brothers, and we can't separate people's flesh and blood, this is not a man's style of doing things. ”

"In addition, I was holding back to find the master and make a career, there is really a woman, I'm afraid it is very inconvenient to go south and north."

"Eventually I sent her home and went to fight in the army myself. The year before last, I clicked on Jingniang and wrote a letter to her family, and I found out that ......"

"How's it going?"

Zhao Kuangyin drank the wine in the bowl deeply, took the jar and poured it again.

"She died, and when she went home, my brother and sister-in-law thought she had an affair with me, and she couldn't think about it for a while, so she hanged herself from a tree."

"Ah......h

"Brother, others say that Zhao Da has a clear conscience, but in fact, the most ashamed in his heart is me."

"She is alive, everyone thinks that she has a personal relationship with Zhao Da, she is dead, everyone knows her loyalty, and everyone believes Zhao Da's righteousness."

"Do you really care if Jing Niang and Zhao Da have a personal relationship? They don't care, they just feel that when Jing Niang is dead, there will be no more trouble. ”

Xu Yongzhi silently picked up the wine, touched it with Zhao Kuangyin, and drank it dry in one gulp.

Zhao Kuangyin drank the wine bowl dry and poured it for the two of them.

"The husband lives in this world, don't care what some people in the world think, there are many stupid people in this world, follow their opinions, and you are doomed to be mediocre for a lifetime."

"Jing Niang cares about me, I care about Jing Niang, I should take her away, go beyond those dogmas of etiquette and etiquette, let her have a happy married life, have a few healthy children, have a peaceful life for the next fifty years, see my grandchildren, better than anything else, I seem to act according to morality, but it ruined her life, I Lao Zhao doesn't seem to be wrong? In fact, I'm too selfish. ”

"Brother, you're not wrong, everyone doesn't want these things to happen."

"So I envy you, brother, the women you meet are all good, your sister can save your sister, save you, the silly boy's sister is also very affectionate to you, your cousin is also a strange woman, I see, you don't make the mistakes of your brother back then, it's good to marry all the brains back."

"Brother, this won't work......"

"What's not to do, they are all powerful women, and if you take them all, you will be stronger."

"Jing Niang is also a powerful woman."

"Of course, it's a pity that she has great courage, but without the ability of these girls, she can only put her courage on death, except for dying for me, she can't do more." Zhao Kuangyin drank another bowl.

"As for the woman you met, don't take it too seriously, it's a ruthless character, and most men will lose at her hands, but at that moment, if you are in love and have no thoughts of forcing or taking advantage, then there is nothing to be ashamed of whether it is introspection in the dark room or in court." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Understood, thank you, big brother." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Drink deeper!" Lao Zhao commanded.

"Look, I did it." Xu Yongyi lit the bottom of the bowl.

"Recalling the journey I walked with Jing Niang, I still have something to gain."

"For example?"

"I've been using a stick since I was a child, and my stick has always been a competition with others, I want to knock down opponents and prove that I'm better than others."

"But after meeting Jing Niang, I knew one thing, my stick is a tool to achieve justice, I want to protect the people I like, innocent people, and people who want to live a good life. I want to use this rod to declare the end of this world of war and strife, and of thieves! ”

"From that day on, I had a goal worth striving for, and fortunately, I met His Majesty soon after." A gentle smile appeared on Zhao Kuangyin's face.

"Your Majesty is the one who is worthy of protection and can put an end to troubled times." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Big brother," Xu Yongzhi said, "I respect you." ”

"Brother," Zhao Kuangyin was a little drunk, "follow me into the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, your skills, I recommend you to Your Majesty, and you can be a direct attendant in front of the palace." ”

"Big brother," Xu Yongzhi struggled to get up despite the injury on his leg, and gave Zhao Kuangyin a big gift.

"Look you still have a wound on your leg! Don't, don't. ”

"Big brother, I found someone I can serve and protect today!"

"Great!"

"But not Your Majesty, it's you!"

"I'm not...... I don't have ...... Don't talk nonsense......"

"I don't care if I am your soldier, whether it is a direct servant in front of the palace, or whether it is a forbidden army or not, you can be a soldier." Xu Yongzhi said.

"You have no future like this." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"No, there is a future, my future is you!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"You're drunk." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"I'm not drunk, Emperor Chai is not in good health, right." Xu Yongzhi whispered.

"Where did you hear that?" Zhao Kuangyin looked left and right, lowered his voice and said.

"Big brother, there are actually two things that people can't get around, one is desire, what our brothers talked about just now is desire;"

"What about the other one?"

"It's the one that everyone can't avoid."

"You mean ......"

"Your Majesty's body has a big problem, so you will find my master, this is not something that ordinary doctors can help."

"Hey, brother, you're so clever. I don't even know if this cleverness is a good thing for you. ”

"Big brother, let me be your subordinate, I will be your courtier in the future, loyal to you alone, if I am a little smart, I will also use it against your enemies."

“……”

"If you think I am not worthy to be your courtier, then take up the sword and kill me, lest my skills be used by others."

"I treat you as a brother, how can I kill you? It's just that in the future, don't talk about it again. Your Majesty also treats me as a brother, and I will not have any thoughts of disobedience. ”

"Understood!"

"From this day forward, you are my own soldier. I will send you to the Ezhou rudder, and leave you there to recuperate first, and you will let your best doctor come to Bianliang, and I will recommend him to Your Majesty. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

"Call the General!"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the sky, "Now, sleep!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin has a magical ability, that is, to fall asleep.

Xu Yongzhi had difficulty sleeping.

On the one hand, it is because I have found a career entrusted to me, and I am agitated;

On the other hand, the big fat man next to him drank wine and snored like thunder.
