Chapter 299: Father and Mother (4400 words)
After a skirmish.
Rest period.
The soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield noticed a strange scene.
The legendary military general, General Zheng Haoran, who was ordered to be in danger at a young age, was squatting on the snow with a young pawn who looked a little similar to him, and the two were in the same posture.
General Zheng took out a rare treasure wine bag, and the two of them shared the expired spirits in one sip.
Ice and snow, strong wine warms up, blows nonsense, so unhappy.
Lao Li Tou was curious, whistling and muttering, "These barbarians are really damned", pretending to clean up the battlefield and passing by, secretly wanting to hear what the two were saying.
But Lao Li Tou hadn't approached Zheng Haoran's twenty steps away, Zheng Haoran turned his head suddenly, glared at Lao Li Tou, opened and closed his mouth, and said one word silently:.
"Okay!"
Lao Li Tou answered, mellow and rolling.
Zheng Xiu and Zheng Haoran, father and son, have been separated by twenty years of time and space, and now they are reunited, Zheng Haoran looked a little unhappy at first, but he also went up as he spoke, holding Zheng Xiu's shoulders, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.
"Brother, I'll tell you......"
It was Zheng Haoran who spoke, no, they all called brothers and sisters.
Zheng Xiu also knew that if this continued, the generations of the two would be chaotic to the point of thunder and thunder, but Zheng Xiu was also speechless, he couldn't say that I was your son.
"You said you were marrying a mother...... Before Madame, I had a matchmaking appointment with the prime minister's daughter, are you a scumbag? β
"What is a scumbag?"
"It's just... Negative man. β
"Phew! Sling the bull! I, Zheng Haoran, have stood up to the sky and the earth all my life, how can I be a scumbag? The prime minister's daughter is pretentious, crying and crying at every turn, and it is annoying to look at. What made me most unhappy was that the first time I met that woman, I raised my fist, and guess what happened? β
Zheng Xiu's expression was blank: "You raised your fist at your fiancΓ©e?" She didn't shout for help? β
Zheng Haoran laughed: "Not really." The woman blushed and said, 'Men and women don't kiss, please don't worry about Zheng Lang', turned her head and ran away. β
"Isn't that human?"
"Definitely! A good man should talk with his fists! β
"She's a woman......"
"What's wrong with the woman? Same! What happened to the woman? Can't just touch a fist? β
"That's natural, General Zheng, you have the final say. β¦β¦ But what about later? β
"Later, the prime minister's old man had a black face and rushed to my house to be held accountable."
"And then?"
"I can't talk about it."
"And then?"
Zheng Xiu asked tentatively, "Bump fists?" β
Zheng Haoran shook his head: "I gave him a punch." The next morning, he went to me in front of the saint and played with me, causing Lao Tzu to suffer thirty rods. β
"Wait, is it the left prime minister or the right prime minister?"
"Right Prime Minister."
"No wonder!" Zheng Xiu slapped his thigh, and his heart turned out to be like this.
No wonder when he started from scratch in the past, he received a lot of "care" from the household department, and when he became the richest man, he didn't deal with Shi Wentong. The household is under the control of the right prime minister, and every time the right prime minister sees Zheng Xiu, his expression is as ugly as eating early in the morning, and it turns out that the root cause is here.
This is a feud, and then his father left, and all the grievances of the right man against Zheng Haoran were vented on his son. If it weren't for Wei Yangzun's protection in secret, he wouldn't be the richest man, and when he was a child, his arms could be twisted over his thighs.
Zheng Haoran didn't notice Zheng Xiu's strange gaze, and as time passed, he quickly talked about his encounter with Zheng Xiu's mother.
"On a dark and windy night, a masked female thief boldly broke into Zheng's house to steal, I heard the movement and took it down on the spot."
"Take it?" Zheng Xiu was alert.
"Got it!" Zheng Haoran squinted, as if recalling that night, the style of the ignorant little thief, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a tenderness that Zheng Xiu had never seen on Zheng Haoran's face. Zheng Haoran paused, and then said with a smile: "I tore off her veil, and she looked at me with a gaze that seemed to eat people. β
"And I asked him, I have an enmity against thee?"
"She spat me in the face, scolded the dog officer angrily, and scolded me for not being able to die!"
"Huh?"
"Hey! Later, I felt that something was wrong, and I really wanted to scold me, but also the dog general, so I asked carefully, it turned out that my stupid lady, the first time she returned to the city, wanted to rob the rich and help the poor, and stole the wrong door! Hahaha! β
"Cough, cough, cough......" When Zheng Xiu heard this, he choked on a mouthful of wine and coughed non-stop.
Zheng Haoran hurriedly patted Zheng Xiu's back, for fear that the little soldier would choke to death. After a while, Zheng Xiu waved his hand to signal that he was not tight, and asked curiously, "What happened later?" You & ...... How does a lady tie the knot? β
When Zheng Haoran heard this, he silently raised his fist towards Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, and touched it without distraction.
Zheng Haoran scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu didn't let you touch it, I mean, I also raised my fist at her." β
"Oh," Zheng Xiu withdrew his fist and nodded, "She didn't run?" β
"No, I untied her, and she punched me with all the strength of the milk."
"Shhh...... And then? β
Later, she squatted on the ground and cried all night.
ββ¦β¦ Really. Iron Daddy struck hard, Zheng Xiu silently thanked God in his heart, he was born smoothly by luck.
"Then I asked her if you wanted to have a baby with me."
"Poof!" Zheng Xiu was still choking just now, but this time a sip of wine was sprayed on the snow, melting a large piece. He looked at his father in astonishment: "She, she, she just agreed?!" β
Iniquity.
Zheng Xiu never expected his birth to come so suddenly.
Zheng Haoran looked at Zheng Xiu like a fool: "How is it possible?" She yelled at her 'fool' that night and ran away. β
"And then?"
Later, she was not convinced, and came to steal every night, and I took it every night. In the end, she got used to it, so she simply stayed. β
"I ??? grass"
"What's wrong?"
ββ¦β¦ The kid admired. Zheng Xiu arched his hand towards Zheng Haoran, this time he really admired. But after a while, he thought about the vague image of his mother in his memory, and was a little uncertain, so he asked cautiously: "Dare to ask the general's wife...... What is the last name? β
Zheng Haoran shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't ask." β
"Huh? You're not...... Do you have a baby? I heard that it was called Zheng and what he repaired. β
"What's wrong with having a child, if you don't ask, you don't ask. The past doesn't matter, it's a woman who dares to bump fists with me Zheng Haoran. Hahaha - Later, I asked someone to settle down for her, named Chun Tao, and gave her a new life. β
ββ¦β¦β
Zheng Xiu stayed for a long time.
I said, how can my mother call Chun Tao!
It turns out to be your taste!
It's you! My Dad!
Zheng Xiu was completely convinced by his father.
Zheng Xiu, who had been stunned for a minute, gave Zheng Haoran a thumbs up.
"General Zheng is mighty! I did it! β
"Alas! Don't do it! β
Zheng Xiu wanted to do it first as a tribute, but the wine bag was snatched by Zheng Haoran's eyes, and this pot was not respected. Unconsciously, the two chatted for a long time, Zheng Haoran shook the wine bag painfully, and there was still a thing left. Zheng Haoran breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid it, preventing Zheng Xiu from drinking it anymore.
"Lao Zheng, it's not too early, take a step to speak."
Lao Li, who had been cleaning in place on the messy battlefield for a long time, saw that the two of them were almost chattering, walked over with a calm face, and whispered to Zheng Haoran.
"Good!"
Zheng Haoran got up quickly, patted his buttocks, and turned around and stretched out his fist towards Zheng Xiu.
Bang.
Zheng Xiu punched his father hard.
Zheng Haoran shook his fist and praised: "It's very energetic." β
With that, he left.
Zheng Xiu looked at the back of Zheng Haoran and Lao Li Tou, he opened his mouth, raised his arm slightly towards the thick back, and finally fell slowly in silence. Zheng Xiu lowered his head, looking at the small piece of snow in front of him that was melted away by the hot wine, and for a long time, Zheng Xiu smiled with relief: "It's enough." β
The conversation with Zheng Haoran, as well as this brief relationship, gradually plumped up the image of the two parents, filling the vague memory of Zheng Xiu's childhood. Zheng Xiu raised his head and looked at the cumulus clouds that gradually dispersed like cotton balls.
The snow stopped.
β¦β¦
"Lao Zheng, my side...... In fact, there is a secret report. β
Pulling Zheng Haoran to a secluded place, Lao Li Tou hesitated again and again, and took out a tube of bamboo from his arms.
"Oh? Whose? β
Zheng Haoran's face was calm.
"National teacher."
"The rat with his head and tail exposed?" Zheng Haoran sneered, took the bamboo tube, raised his palm to split the sealing mud, and Zheng Haoran took out a simple map from the bamboo tube. It was marked with a few words.
"On the bank of the Fenjian River, before we crossed the river, that guy secretly handed it over to me." Lao Li smacked his lips: "He said that he knew that Lao Zheng didn't believe him, but he buried a nail in the barbarians, and the information was reliable." Believe it or not, it's up to you to say it. Lao Li, I don't like the guy from the national teacher, but the military situation is very important, no problem, this time it's up to you. β
"Huh." Zheng Haoran smiled and nodded, looking at the route and markers on the map and fell into deep thought. I don't know how long, Zheng Haoran sneered and tore the map to shreds.
"What did you say?"
"He said that we went north deep into the hinterland of the barbarians, and the road was dangerous, surrounded by strong enemies, and we died for life."
Lao Li nodded: "This is true, Lao Li, before I went out, the suicide note was written." β
Zheng Haoran took a deep breath and patted Lao Li's shoulder: "Don't worry, since I, Zheng Haoran, dare to take you out, I dare to bring you back alive!" However, although the national teacher hides his head and tail, and behaves strangely, the saint is convinced that this person must have some ability. He said something in the secret letter, but it coincided with what General Ben thought. β
As he spoke, Zheng Haoran took out another mapβit was an ancient map used by them for their march, recording the mountains, rivers and valleys of the Northern Barbarian Land.
"Huh? Whose map is this? β
Lao Li Tou noticed that this ancient map was not the one that Zheng Haoran commonly used.
"Old Huo's." Zheng Haoran wiped the snow on the ground, exposed the gray-brown rock, spread the map on the rock layer, and said with a smile: "Before that guy left, he muttered that he couldn't fight the Northern Barbarians with me, and he would leave a name for eternity, and he regretted that he had to change the map with me, saying that he wanted to keep a thought." β
Lao Li Tou didn't say anything.
Zheng Haoran bit his finger and drew on the map with blood: "The national teacher speculates that once we start to go deep into the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians, the wolf king who is located on the eastern front and goes into battle in person will receive the news in about ten days. β
"The wolf king has always regarded me as a thorn in the flesh, I led the army to the north, he will not be able to sit firmly in the rear, there is an eighty percent possibility, he will personally lead the army from east to west, rush to intercept and kill us."
"Their barbarians have carefully cultivated hundreds of years of black wind horses, and they are good at walking in the snow, and the barbarians are good at riding, and their hurried march may be more than twice that of our army."
"The real elite of the barbarians are all ...... in the depths of the wasteland" Zheng Haoran pointed to a continuous mountain range, and there was only one route passing through the mountain range, only to see his eyes glaze out, and his finger fell to that place: "For hundreds of years, the reason why Daqian and Beiban have fought many times, every time Daqian has won battles, but it is difficult to further expand the results, it is all because of this mountain. β
"This mountain stretches for two thousand miles, the mountain is steep, and those who are good at climbing look at it and sigh! To pass through this mountain, there is only one canyon to pass through, except for adventurous climbing. β
"What is the name of this mountain, it seems to mean 'long sigh' in the barbarian language, for hundreds of years, how many generals hated here, and sighed unwillingly before dying! When I first joined the army, a veteran came here and jokingly called the mountain the 'Wall of Sighs'. β
"According to the inference, our army and the enemy's footsteps are compared, if nothing happens, the wolf king will be ambushed there in advance when we arrive at the Yalaso Mountain Canyon!"
"We will be here, confronting the Wolf King!"
Lao Li Tou was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Wait a minute, what the national teacher means, let us ...... Capture the thief and capture the king first? β
Zheng Haoran smiled slightly and put away the map: "It should be so." Once we take off the head of the wolf king, there will be discord within the barbarians, and in order to compete for the position of the wolf king and re-dominate the clans, the various clans will no longer have time to harass the great cadres, and once the wolf king dies, the great cadres can be replaced for at least ten years of stability! It can win me a respite for at least ten years of recuperation! β
Lao Li shook his head and sighed: "But this day, the right time, place and people are all in other people's ...... I'm afraid it's difficult! β
"Not necessarily, don't panic." Zheng Haoran raised his fist at Lao Li Tou, Lao Li Tou was stunned for a moment, and habitually touched it.
Zheng Haoran's fist seemed to hide some kind of magic that was not spoken, and this touch made Lao Li Tou's heart settle down a little.
Zheng Haoran said again: "The climate of the wasteland is treacherous and changeable, and it is not worth mentioning in front of the vast world and earth. β
"As for the people, the soldiers led by Zheng Haoran are not of bad seeds, and they may not be worse than their barbarians in terms of courage and good fighting! Under my control, even if a thousand people are twisted into a rope, they will definitely be able to exert several times more power! β
"The key is ...... location"
Zheng Haoran smiled, he was full of spirit and confidence at the moment, and he whispered in Lao Li's ear.
"What? You want to counterattack and defend?! β
Hearing Zheng Haoran's plan, Lao Li Tou was stunned.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, the 1,000-strong Zheng family army, which was almost undamaged, embarked on the journey again.
"Shhhh Hush! β
After walking out for a long time, the sky was getting dark, and the monk with the marching pot on his back secretly rode a horse and ran to Zheng Xiu's side.
"Big brother! Eldest brother! β
Zheng Xiu covered the monk's mouth angrily: "Don't shout!" If you shout nonsense, big brother and others will be deducted from the hat of 'forming a party for personal gain'? Now there is only one brother in the team, and that is Zheng Haoran! β
"But he's your father!" The monk felt that the generations were out of order.
"What's the matter?" Zheng Xiu did not entangle the issue of seniority with the monk.
The monk secretly stuffed Zheng Xiu with a small note.
When I opened it, the handwriting was beautiful, and there was a murderous aura, and it was Fengbei's handwriting.
The note was written as the result of Zheng Haoran's conspiracy with Lao Li Tou.
"Eavesdropping again."
Zheng Xiu was speechless, he looked around, but he didn't see Fengbei's figure, so he knew that she used the innate alien technique of "Xie Luohe" to secretly eavesdrop on Zheng Haoran's conversation with Lao Litou.
The ability to listen to the voice of all things is really handy.
It seems to have the same effect as Daddy's fist-bumping mind-reading technique.
Inhumans are wonderful.
Looking at the note, Zheng Xiu frowned, opened his mouth and stuffed the note into his mouth, swallowing it into his stomach like a date.
For the next few days, there were still small groups of cavalry harassing from time to time, and this time they learned to be obedient, and when they saw the Zheng family's military flag from a distance, they blew the trumpet and fled. Once the Zheng family army set up camp and repaired, they came forward to harass it.
Therefore, the speed of the march slowed down, and one night Zheng Haoran was angry, dressed in simple black clothes, and single-handedly took advantage of the night to kill the camp where the cavalry was stationed, and wiped out several harassing cavalry in one fell swoop.
Zheng Haoran happily came back with two barrels of wine, and after filling the wine bag, the rest was all divided.
Zheng Xiu later learned that the reason why Zheng Haoran was able to accurately attack the small group of cavalry lurking in the shadows was because of the information provided by Fengbei, who was a scout.
When Zheng Jiajun saw the "Wall of Sighs" Yalasuo Mountain from afar, sixty-seven young soldiers were buried in the wasteland and died in a foreign land.
