I didn't sleep all night, so I stayed quietly in Dong Zhuo's arms, watching him fall asleep with my eyes open.

Until the candles were extinguished, until the next day the sun came into the room through the window.

In fact, I am still a little apprehensive in my heart, Dong Zhuo's heart knot is not so easy to untie for a while, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to do it. I used to avoid getting married, but look, now that retribution is coming, you really can't be too absolute, otherwise God will always have a way to clean you up. If my mother knew that I had even made such a bad trick as "raw rice cooked and cooked rice" in order to get married, she would have laughed so much that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Lying quietly on his side in his arms, I suddenly felt his arm move slightly, and I hurriedly lay on his chest and closed my eyes.

He woke up.

I was contemplating whether to pretend to wake up when I heard an incredible thunderclap overhead.

"Laugh?!"

I sat up in fright, and the single coat on my shoulders slid slightly to the side, revealing half of my shoulder.

"My lord, what's wrong, what's wrong?" The guard at the door heard the roar and hurriedly pushed the door open and entered the room.

"Get out!" Dong Zhuo protected me in his arms and didn't let the spring light leak out, and at the same time yelled angrily, "Bring the door and get out of here!" ”

At this moment, the guards had already seen the ambiguity in the room, and they hurriedly exchanged a clear look with each other, turned around and quickly closed the door and retreated.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, and I was protected by Dong Zhuo in my arms, listening to his heartbeat.

Pounding ......

He doesn't have a heart attack, does he......

Suddenly, he came to his senses and pushed me away from me, avoiding me like a poisonous snake and a beast.

I sat obediently on the bed, watching him hang his head down, clenching his fists and not daring to look at me, looking like he regretted not being at the beginning.

"Zhong Ying......" slowly climbed to his side and sat down, I gently pressed his back, looking innocent, "What's wrong?" ”

Sensing my approach, his muscles stiffened, and then he stood up in some panic and stepped aside.

I glanced down at myself, my long hair hanging over my shoulders, dressed in an almost transparent single coat, barefoot, half-naked on my left shoulder, a stark indication that I was tempting to sin.

Silence, silence...... There was silence in the room.

He stood far away against the wall, like a schoolboy who had been punished for standing, and I had to sit on the bed not to mess with him. Gradually, I realized that if I wanted to wait for him to speak first, I guess I would have to become an ancient living fossil!

"Zhong Ying, what are you afraid of?" When I finally compromised, I spoke first.

"I'm ......" Dong Zhuo paused for a moment and said with some difficulty, "What did I do last night?" ”

"Huh?" I thought about it, frowned, got out of bed barefoot, walked up to him, looked up at him, and then blushed slightly, "You hold me, and then ......" pursed my lips, I left him unlimited space for reverie to let his imagination unleash his potential.

Hearing this, his face instantly turned iron-blue, his brown eyes darkened suddenly, and there was a slight spill of blood from his mouth.

"Zhong Ying? Zhong Ying, what's wrong with you? I was frightened at once, and hurriedly reached out to hug him and helped him sit down on the couch beside him.

This time, he didn't hide from me, let me help him sit down, but just looked at me directly.

"Zhong Ying, you speak, don't scare me." Touching his face in a bit of a panic, I said hurriedly.

"I ...... I'm still ruining you......" he coughed lightly, blood spilling from his mouth.

Spoil? I frowned, why did I use such a serious and unbearable word.

"You're biased." Feeling slightly confused, I stood up and began to mess around.

"What?" Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned and raised his head to look at me.

"Ling'er can sleep next to you, why can't I?" Bowing my head pitifully, I ignored the blood on the corner of his mouth and soothed my guilt.

With a low sigh, he finally hugged me back into his arms, his chin rested lightly on top of my head, and he said in a low voice: "She is her, you are you." ”

"What's the difference?" I choked up deliberately, "You can marry her, why don't you marry me?" Am I not good enough? ”

Raising his hand to pick up the coat and wrap it around me, he gently lifted my chin and looked at me, his brown eyes were full of indescribable emotion: "I didn't want to marry her, just a concubine." My smile is good, better than anyone else, no one can compare to you, you know? ”

"Then why don't you marry me?" I couldn't bear it anymore, and raised my hand to gently wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. What kind of weight should I have in his heart to let him use the word "waste" to describe himself? Will he vomit blood in regret because he thought he touched me?

"I'm not good enough, I'm too old." A tight wrinkle between his eyebrows made him sigh, "And you, too small." ”

"You're not old, I'm just right." I also frowned, and then opened my mouth to give an example, laying out the facts, "I heard that there is a Master Li in Hedong who married a concubine, who is only fourteen years old, and Master Li is over fifty." ”

This was when I was in Hedong, when I was listening to Baozheng's gossip.

"Nonsense, how can such a dancing girl be compared to my smile!" Dong Zhuo frowned again.

"Yes, your smile, Zhong Ying's smile." I leaned my head on his chest and whispered, "One day I will get married, why are you willing to give me to someone else?" Only by marrying Zhong Ying can Xiaoxiao be Zhong Ying's smile for the rest of her life. ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned, and then looked down at me: "After last night, aren't you afraid of me?" As he said this, his hand around me tightened slightly, as if he was a little nervous.

Fear? I was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of my mouth twitched, shouldn't he be talking about men and women? Uh, this ......

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoxiao will never be afraid of Zhong Ying, no matter what Zhong Ying becomes." I quickly pretended to be stupid and said sweetly.

His brown eyes warmed slightly, and I knew that he was about to compromise, and just as he was about to celebrate with his forehead, he suddenly lowered his head and gently covered my lips.

There was a tingle on his lips, and there was a bang in his head, which ...... It's changed too quickly.

"What should I do with you?" He kissed and sighed as if I were the most precious treasure in the world, too precious for him to follow.

Gently bit his lip, seeing his slightly painful appearance, the corners of my eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles: "Marry me, marry me, and then stay with me in Liangzhou for the rest of your life, and don't go anywhere." ”

He was slightly stunned, then gently stroked my head and chuckled: "Well, it just so happened that I was dismissed." ”

"You've been dismissed?!" I was pleasantly surprised.

“…… What's your expression? Dong Zhuo was a little depressed.

I smiled and rubbed my head on his shoulder: "I'm happy, I'm happy, Zhong Ying will be the Zhong Ying who laughs at a person in the future." ”

This was a surprise that fell from the sky, and I was still worried about how to keep Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou.

Dong Zhuo smiled: "It's obviously still a child's temper." ”

I laughed so happily that I didn't care what he was saying.

Regarding the dismissal of officials, I went to Fan Chou as soon as I got up and asked for an understanding. It turned out that it was because Dong Zhuo lost the battle in Guangzong, and because he was dismissed, so he did not return to Hedong and directly changed to Liangzhou.

Probably because the expression on my face was too excited, and Fan Chou's complexion became a little tangled.

Coughing lightly, I patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Thank you for the rescue of Guangzong, you have to reveal the matter of my heart before, Dong Zhuo has promised me to stay in Liangzhou to be an ordinary person in the future, if you have any lofty ambitions such as making meritorious contributions, please go to the Lord as soon as possible." ”

Fan Chou was stunned, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he covered it up well, and only lowered his head and said, "Miss said she laughed." ”

I saw that he didn't believe it, and he didn't continue to lobby, although I really wanted this guy who was destined to be one of Dong Zhuo's generals in history to disappear from my eyes, but he didn't want me to drive people out, but as long as I could keep Dong Zhuo firmly watched, I guess he wouldn't be able to make any waves.

"Miss......" Seeing that I turned around to leave, Fan Chou suddenly stopped me.

"Huh?" I looked back at him.

"Ling'er's matter, I hope Miss will bear with me." After a moment's hesitation, he spoke.

"Ling'er? Where is she? I frowned at Fan Chou. Zhao Zilong deceived her with tricks before, she should be in Guangzong now, didn't she get the news, and ......

I have a headache when I think of that haunting bell.

"It's not...... I don't know where she is, I just hope that Miss won't hold her accountable for the mistakes she made before, and beg Miss to remember that she is just revengeful and pitiful, and she doesn't want to tell the adults what happened in the Taishou Mansion. Fan Chou lowered his head, almost pleading.

It turned out that he was worried that I would complain to Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo knew that I was forced to that step by Ling'er, and even almost died at her hands, I would definitely try my best to hunt her down.

"Miss, back then, Fan Chou almost caused Miss to be cut out of her heart to make medicine, Miss can be magnanimous, and has never mentioned this matter to adults, and now I implore Miss to spare Ling'er this time, Fan Chou guarantees that Ling'er will never have another incident." Fan Chou saw that I didn't speak, thinking that I insisted on refusing to let go of Ling'er, but he was short and knelt down in front of me.

I was slightly stunned, in this society where men are inferior to women, he is willing to kneel for a woman, and he is still a woman. I looked at him and remembered the scene when he was two years old on a snowy day, Dong Zhuo was stepped on his back and dismounted by the fat guard, the same humiliation, what kind of deep love should make him willing to kneel down like a dwarf?

"The man has gold under his knees, get up." Pursing my lips, I finally spoke.

"Miss, did you agree?" Fan Chou's eyes lit up slightly, and he knelt forward with some urgency and took a small step.

"If she doesn't show up in front of me again, I'll act as if it didn't happen." I looked at Fan Chou steadily, "You also know how much she wants me to die, how much she wants Dong Zhuo to die, so if she appears in front of me again, I will definitely not spare her." ”

Fan Chou was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then bent down and knocked his head heavily: "Miss's kindness, Fan Chou remembers it in his heart, if he is in trouble with Miss in the future, Fan Chou will repay him with death!" ”

I glanced at him, didn't say anything, turned away, his hard work may be doomed to be in vain, I don't believe that with Ling'er's stubbornness, she will willingly give up revenge like this.

When I returned to the main courtyard, Dong Zhuo was looking for me, and when he saw me coming, he eased his expression: "Early in the morning, where did you go?" ”

"Ask Fan Chou about something." I answered honestly.

The way husband and wife get along is to trust each other, and since I have made up my mind to live with him for the rest of my life, I don't want to leave any misunderstanding between us.

"If you ask me, it's fine." Dong Zhuo frowned.

…… Is this jealousy?

I smiled and took his hand: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Have breakfast."

"Ah, I really feel a little hungry when I say that." Touching my belly, I smiled.

"So don't run around early in the morning, let's go, breakfast is ready." When Dong Zhuo heard this, he quickly quickened his pace.

I laughed and ran away with him, feeling so happy that I was about to float.

The breakfast was quite rich, I had a great appetite, and Sister-in-law Liu's cooking skills were still very good, especially since she had taken care of me for a long time and knew my tastes very well.

I just don't know if it's an illusion, I always think that Sister-in-law Liu looks at me strangely.

But at this time, I don't have time to take care of Sister-in-law Liu's feelings. For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he got what he wanted and forced Dong Zhuo to face up to his intentions, and he also got the unexpected surprise that he was dismissed, all the bad, sad, and sad things disappeared, and only happy, happy, and happy things remained, eating the dishes that Dong Zhuo carefully gave me, I felt that the corners of my mouth were rising uncontrollably.

After breakfast, I sent Dong Zhuo back to his room to rest despite his protests.

"You are now a wounded, you have to rest well, don't move." Pressing him to the bed and covering him with the quilt, I said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo lay on the bed and looked at me steadily, and suddenly reached out to hold me, and with a slight force, I pounced on him.

"Tap! You've got wounds. "I was a little nervous and stretched out my arms to check on his injuries, but he just hugged me tightly, and I couldn't break free, so I had to be held by him.

"It's like a dream." After a while, he suddenly said softly.

I chuckled.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of something being broken at the door, I was startled, got up and turned around, and saw Xiangfu standing at the door, with a shocked expression on her face, and the broken medicine cup in front of her was a medicine cup, and the strong smell of medicine spread in the room.

Xiang Fu looked at me for a long time, then suddenly turned around and ran away.

I raised my eyebrows slightly.

"Smiling?" Dong Zhuo got up suspiciously.

I pressed him: "It's okay, you sleep, I'll go find someone to clean up." With that, he got up and walked out.

Xiang Fu had already run away, and it was quiet all around, and there was not even a single figure. When he left, Dong Zhuo only left Liu Lian's family to guard the house, and also released Liu Lian's wife and children as commoners, and now in addition to the guards brought back by Dong Zhuo, there are not enough servants who usually serve.

I took the broom, slowly gathered the broken medicine Gu together, and wrapped it in a cloth again.

Dong Zhuo saw that I was doing it myself, and he was a little displeased, and wanted to get up but was stopped by me.

"The girl who is fragrant is not useful, go back and let Liu Lian go to the slave market to buy a few more girls and come back." Dong Zhuo couldn't resist me, said.

"No, I like it like this, quietly, no one waits." I shook my head in refusal.

"How can that work, my smile can't do rough work." Dong Zhuo frowned.

I laughed, the girl who dared to love other people's families was born to do rough work for your family, but I didn't say it. Although I am still unaccustomed to the phenomenon of slave markets and the like in this era, it is unrealistic to shout the slogan of equality for all here.

Because the medicine cup was broken, I went to the kitchen to re-fry a medicine, and when I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw Zhao Zilong guarding the door.

"Smile girl." He looked at me with a serious look on his face.

"Huh?" I was struck by his seriousness and looked at him seriously.

"I'm embarrassed to speak, but when are you going to pay?" He asked with a serious look on his face.

…… The corners of my mouth twitched.

"Dong Zhuo is injured, I don't dare to stimulate him anymore, why don't you go and talk to him?" He thought about it for a moment and proposed quite seriously.

…… Did he still insist that Dong Zhuo would faint yesterday, but he was stunned by his thirty-two gold?

"You come with me." Pressing my forehead, I led him to the bookkeeper.

"Where?" He asked in a flat voice, as he followed slowly.

"Accounts."

As soon as he heard these two words, Zhao Zilong's steps immediately became brisk.

In charge of the bookkeeper was a young man whom I did not know, and when he saw me, he stood up respectfully and called out to Miss.

"Give me thirty-two gold from my account." Glancing at Zhao Zilong, whose eyes were shining, I said.

The man was stunned, and then said with some hesitation: "This ......"

"What's wrong?" I looked at him.

"Thirty-two is a bit much...... he hesitated.

“…… How much money is left on the account? "The corners of my forehead jumped, I secretly shouted that it was not good, I have always cared about finances, I only know that Dong Zhuo will never lack my food and drink, so it is okay to always be his net worth, but it is just ...... I suddenly remembered the image of the chicken thief at the beginning, should I ...... Actually, our family is very poor, right?

"This ......," the man still looked hesitant.

I'm a little unhappy, how much money is just to say, what do you look like you're spitting constipation.

"What's your name?" I asked.

The man's face changed, and then he lowered his head and said, "The villain is Liu Lian's eldest son, Liu Zhi." ”

"If you can't make up your mind, come to your father." I said lightly.

The man hurriedly answered, got up and ran out. Before leaving, I deliberately locked all the cabinets, and I was puzzled for a while, could it be that I would steal my own things?

The housekeeper Liu Lian came soon, and he was busy confessing to me: "The old slave family is more timid than the other, and among them, this stupid thing is the most honest, and it is also because he is honest that he let him take care of the account room, who knows that he wants me to take the idea of everything, and I can't bear to let the young lady wait for so much time." Saying that, he also kicked Liu Zhi, "Don't make amends to Miss yet." ”

Liu Zhi obediently knelt down towards me: "Please forgive Miss." ”

"I don't like this, don't do it." Saying lightly, I moved a small step away from him and looked at Liu Lian, "Give me thirty-two gold from the account, I have an urgent need." ”

When Liu Lian heard this, he peeked at me, and saw that I had no expression, and cold sweat was faintly oozing out of my forehead.

I don't know if he misinterpreted my words, but I didn't mean to explain, I just watched him open the treasury, weigh thirty-two gold and hand it to me, and I handed it over to Zhao Zilong instead.

"Paid."

Zhao Zilong lowered his head and squinted his eyes with a smile: "It's clear." Putting away the gold, he looked at me again, as if he wanted to say something.

"What else?" Knowing that he did it on purpose, I couldn't stop asking him, after all, he was kind to me.

"Lu Fengxian's kid took my Fang Tian painting halberd, and said a good hundred gold, but he didn't even have a hundred big money on him, and he dared to talk big, I think he killed the Quartet in Guangzong, and he has no merit and hard work, so it's better to have this account...... Did you pay for him? I'm really embarrassed to say such a thing, but I also think about Brother Fengxian, so that he doesn't feel comfortable with such a huge debt. He smiled.

I didn't see any embarrassment on his face.

Despite this, I still turned to look at Liu Lian: "Uncle Liu, pay another hundred gold." ”

Uncle Liu's face was also a little unsightly, but he didn't say anything after all, turned around and opened the library again.

Zhao Zilong, who was bulging in his pocket, was in a good mood, and when he left the account room, his steps were so brisk that he seemed to float.

"It's so refreshing to smile and smile." Zhao Zilong gave a thumbs up.

I laughed: "It's just a matter of being generous to others." ”

I took one hundred and thirty-two gold from the account at once, if one gold is equal to 10,000 yuan, it is one million and 320,000 yuan, and Dong Zhuo's monthly income was only 60,000 yuan when he was the Taishou, which was his income for almost two years.

It's no wonder Uncle Liu's face is so ugly.

"That's a broken halberd!" Patting the bulging money bag, Zhao Zilong laughed, looking refreshed.

“…… Is it difficult for Fang Tian to draw a halberd? I was surprised, how could such a peerless weapon seem to be difficult to get rid of when he said it, remembering that on the way to Guangzong before, when the carriage secretly came to the Fang Tian Painting Halberd for the first time, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd was covered with dust, and the corners of my mouth twitched slightly.

"Don't be deceived by its majestic appearance, this kind of weapon just looks beautiful, in fact, it is quite impractical, ordinary people can't control it at all, and it is very heavy, and the flexibility is very poor when used against the enemy, and it is completely unsuitable for actual combat. So since I got this goods, I have been sitting on the dust......" Zhao Zilong touched the money bag and said with a smile, looking like a profiteer.

I turned my face away, and the corners of my mouth twitched a few times, this lonely hero who had fought against Cao Cao's main army with dozens of horsemen in Hanzhong in history, and was known as "Zilong is full of courage...... You really don't fit this profiteer face......

"Don't be sad, in fact, you are not a loss, this Fang Tian Painting Halberd is not really completely useless, but ordinary people can't control it. Since ancient times, swords have been given to heroes, and you see that the Fengxian brothers have played a tiger-shaking game. Seeing that the corners of my mouth twitched, Zhao Zilong hurriedly comforted.

I laughed, of course I knew that Lu Bu's formula Heavenly Painting Halberd was just right.

"Okay, now that the account has been received, it's time for me to take my leave." As he spoke, Zhao Zilong suddenly said with a straight face.

I was stunned, how could I say that I would leave: "The scenery of Liangzhou is good, since you are here, why don't you stay for a few more days?" This is the habitual politeness of modern people.

"The world is big, and there are good scenery everywhere, so you don't have to stick to one place." He shook his hand and said very chicly.

I laughed: "After Dong Zhuo recovers from his injury, we plan to get married, don't you stay and have a glass of wine?" There is a bit of sincerity in this sentence, being able to return safely and reunite with Dong Zhuo, and being able to encounter many good things after that, thanks to his help.

He waved his hand: "No need, no need. As he spoke, he turned around and strode away in a dashing manner, "There is no need to send each other off, we will meet again." ”

I stood in place, looking at the back of Zhao Zilong leaving, and couldn't help but smile, maybe the only thing that can interest him in this world is money...... and the girl named Wan'er.
