Dark Arrow Chapter 74: The Guest in the Net (1)
When Shangguan Qing heard this, her big black eyes were full of watery smiles, and she giggled: "Brother Dongfang, I'm joking with you!
"Heartfelt words!" Dongfang Zhen looked at her seriously, "Qing'er,...... I don't even know how to express my gratitude!"
"Then don't say anything!" Shangguan Qing smiled and said, "I understand your intentions." β
Dongfang Zhen's heart was agitated, and he said in a low voice: "Qing'er, you are so good to me...... Your life-saving grace taught me how to repay it?!"
"Hmph, what's this? Who wants you to repay you again!" Shangguan Qing was slightly stunned, "Brother Dongfang, I don't like you like this!
Dongfang Zhen no longer distinguished, and looked at her with a smile.
"Ah, he's so handsome when he laughs!" Shangguan Qing's heart jumped suddenly, and her cheeks were a little feverish, "Brother Dongfang, what are you laughing at?"
"Oh,...... It's nothing!" Dongfang Zhen hurriedly turned his head and said softly: "Qing'er, do you know that I really envy you!"
"Envy me, what do I have to envy?" Shangguan Qing asked curiously, stretching her long white neck.
"Isn't it enough to make people envy to death?" Dongfang Zhen sighed and said leisurely: "First, you are the daughter of the leader of the Shangguan League......
"Che, what's there to be proud about?" Shangguan Qing disagreed, and asked, "What else?"
"Second, you are the apprentice of the king's divine doctor......"
"Who said he was my master?"
"Huh, didn't you admit it?" Dongfang Zhen smiled, "Besides, didn't you always call him 'master' when you begged him for me just now?"
"Hmph, who admitted it? What I said was: 'You can say that'!" Shangguan Qing said goodbye, "Just now people flattered him and called him master, not all for you!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, that's the case!" Dongfang was shocked and asked suspiciously, "But, why are you working in the Imperial Doctor's Pavilion?"
"No, why...... Anyway, there's nothing to do all day, so let's find something to do!"
"I think it's hard, why did you choose to do this?"
"It's not why, because I like it!" Shangguan Qing smiled on her face, and the pear sockets on the corners of her mouth loomed, "Whenever I see the injured person I take care of recover, I feel very happy!"
"Oh. Dongfang Zhen was relieved, and said in his heart: This little girl is really kind-hearted. So he asked, "Since you like to save people, why don't you worship the king's divine doctor as a teacher?"
"Didn't I tell you? I don't know anything!"
"No, you can learn! I think if you want to, he'll will." β
"Hey, I'm self-aware: with my qualifications, how can I learn it? I don't have to be ashamed of the face of the great miracle doctor!" Shangguan Qing smiled and said with a straight face: "Actually, I understand what you mean, you mean: people see my father's face, how dare they refuse? I have to accept this apprentice!"
"Hehe, that's not true!" Dongfang Zhen smiled: "Because, you are lively and lovely, and you are so beautiful, who can refuse ruthlessly? This is also the third point I envy you." β
Shangguan Qing felt that his words had an extraneous sound, and his cheeks suddenly flushed, and he asked timidly: "Brother Dongfang, are you ...... What do you say...... It's not a lie, is it?"
Dongfang Zhen couldn't fully understand the girl's careful thoughts, and of course he couldn't hear her voice, so he nodded solemnly and said: "Of course not! You are straightforward, and I am also straightforward, so I will tell the truth!"
"That'...... So what do you think: Am I pretty, or is that Sister Sang pretty?"
Dongfang Zhen was stunned, he didn't expect her to ask this question, and suddenly, he vaguely understood that she had misunderstood what he had just said. Speaking from his heart, he felt that Shangguan Qing and Sang Qinghong were no different in terms of appearance or character. So he said impartially:
"It's all beautiful!"
"Who is prettier?" Shangguan Qing asked with great interest.
"This ...... Is this?" Dongfang shook his head, "What do you say?...... You have your characteristics and strengths, and she has her characteristics and strengths. β
"Oh. And what are her strengths and characteristics?"
"She?" Dongfang Zhen's heart suddenly swelled with tenderness, and he said: "She is very assertive and elegant,...... Quiet, smart and intelligent,...... Soft with tenacity. β
"Really, so good...... Big Brother Dongfang, that ...... What do you think of me?" Shangguan Qing was very nervous when she heard that her rival's impression in his mind was so perfect, and her voice trembled a little, and at the same time, she wanted to know what her impression was in his mind, so that she could judge herself and her.
"You?" Dongfang Zhen smiled, "I don't think ,ββ I know if it's ,ββ straightforward, enthusiastic, and considerate,...... Lively and cute, very pure...... And a little bit charming......"
"Charming?" Shangguan Qing giggled, "I don't know, it turns out that I am still charming!
"Qing'er, I don't mean to be disrespectful!" Dongfang Zhen said: "Actually, it's charming, and it's also very cute." β
"Really? ...... Compared with Sister Sang, who is more beautiful?" Shangguan Qing had a posture of not distinguishing between victory and defeat, and would never give up.
Dongfang Zhen clasped his hands to his chest and smiled silently.
"Hey, since you don't want to say it, then forget it!" Shangguan Qing was helpless, and said faintly: "Brother Dongfang, in fact, if you don't say it, I know that Sister Sang must be much more beautiful than me." β
Dongfang Zhen saw that she was very lost, and he couldn't bear it, so he said truthfully: "Qing'er, it's really hard for you to distinguish which is better than the other: Miss Sang, be a little taller than you, and you, your face is a little better-looking." ...... All in all, you're very, very beautiful girls!"
Shangguan Qing's heart suddenly burst into flames. She believes that her status in his mind is on par with Sang Qinghong. That is to say, he has an equal chance with his rival, and now that his lover is by his side and is under his care, he has an advantage over her. As everyone knows, Dongfang Zhen is based on the appearance and character of the two, but not in terms of the status in his mind.
"Brother Dongfang, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes. Dongfang couldn't understand why she kept holding on to this question, but she still patiently emphasized, "Yes, you are all the best beauties in the world!"
Shangguan Qing's eyes flashed with excitement, and he suddenly bent down, kissed him lightly on his forehead, blushed his cheeks and said, "Brother Dongfang, I like you!"
Dongfang Zhen froze as if he had been electrocuted, and looked at her blankly.
Shangguan Qing's pretty face was as ashamed as a tomato, she hurriedly covered her face and turned around, and ran out of the door in a panic.
Dongfang was stunned as his back disappeared, and there was still a faint body fragrance left in his snort, and he couldn't help but feel at a loss.

Since Shangguan Qing confessed to Dongfang Zhen, every time she came to the ward, she was always shy and excited. In order to take care of Dongfang Zhen, she went out early and returned late every day, running around the Taiyi Pavilion all day long, but she felt that she was in good spirits, and she didn't feel tired at all.
And Dongfang Zhen always feels a little embarrassed every time he sees her, but he is very grateful for her meticulous care and care for him.
And so it went on for three days.
There are so many boring things in the world. Lying in a hospital bed all day is one of them, especially for young people, it's boring.
Dongfang Zhen at this time is exactly this mood.
It's a very clean, refreshing room, but it's also quiet, and it looks like it's for patients with status, or for those who are seriously ill. - In today's parlance, it's a VIP ward.
The furnishings in the room are also very simple: a bed, two bedside tables, two stools next to the bed, and a nanmu bench in the corner.
Shangguan Qing didn't know what to do, and there was not even anyone in the room to talk to.
Dongfang Zhen was bored, leaning on the head of the bed and looking up at the cobwebs on the roof. In this room, there was no living creature that moved, except for the spider in the web, and the small insect that used to throw its web.
With a "poof", the cobwebs shook violently, and a moth was caught, and the little spider was ecstatic, and quickly slipped towards its prey, opening its mouth wide to bite. Helplessly, the size of the moth, which was desperately struggling, was more than twice as large as it, and while flapping its wings violently, it shook off the scales from its body, so that it could barely open its eyes.
"Oh, it's already in the web, what's the hurry?" the little spider must have thought of this, and simply stepped aside, and quietly watched the moth struggle, with a cold light in its eyes, and it would wait until it was exhausted to enjoy the meal.
"Alas, compared to the fate of this moth, isn't it the same?" Dongfang Zhen sighed in his heart, "The difference is that it will soon lose its life, and I, for the time being, will be able to save my life!"
In the past few days, he has been tormented by contradictions and pain. He felt that his situation was like that of a moth caught in a net, no matter how much he struggled, the final result was the same - death!
As a person who practices martial arts, if martial arts are abolished, it will be really sadder than death. So, when he heard in despair that there was still a chance to regain his strength, he was so excited that his chest seemed to explode.
However, the person who could help him recover his strength was the Shangguan Xiong. ββAn ambitious underworld leader, a tyrant who swears to stand up to martial arts decency, and an enemy who plots to kill Master Kongjing and then blame himself and Zishi. -- This kind of hatred that does not share the heavens, and when the day of physical and martial arts recovery, it has become his own life-saving benefactor! What a great irony...... But in any case, if you have to be a fair and honest person, you will have revenge and revenge, and you will repay your kindness, but what should you do at that time?
If people ask themselves to repay their kindness and do things that are contrary to chivalry, should they do it? Or even if they want to be the enemy of martial arts decency, what should they do? If they really do it, how can they be happy with their conscience? What face is there to be to the former teachers and friends? What face is there to be no forest in the world?...... But if you don't do it, what will you do to repay others? Isn't it a villain's act if you don't repay your kindness?......
Even if people don't ask for repayment, what position should they stand on in the future? Of course, they should be enemies of both public and private affairs, but if they are really enemies, they will become ungrateful people again, and how can they be happy with their conscience? What face do they have to deal with others? What face do they have to deal with Qing'er, Brother Yun, and so on?...... If I am not an enemy, how can I feel at ease, what will my fellow believers think of me, and what is the use of learning this skill?......
In fact, as soon as he heard that Shangguan Xiong needed to treat him personally, he wanted to refuse immediately. However, this was the only hope that he could regain his strength, and he hesitated in the face of this great temptation. Although he has a strong personality, he is by no means a reckless person, and after weighing it again, he feels that he should not refuse immediately, and it is better to act according to the development of things in the future.
What's more, now that he has been treated by others, he already owes the kindness of others; if he owes more, he owes less, and if he owes less, why is there any need to be stubborn at this juncture?
There is another very important reason, that is: he can't bear to brush Shangguan Qing's kindness. For the sake of themselves, people wipe their tears, play tricks, and try their best to win the opportunity; for this painstaking heart, this emotion, how can they bear to refuse and make others sad?
It's just that a dignified man with seven Han men has to rely on a weak woman to save his life and martial arts, and what kind of heroes and heroes are he called in vain? What face will he have in the future to compete for dominance in the martial arts? Besides, what will he use to repay others?...... How can you be worthy of Qinghong's sister? Are you the son-in-law of the enemy Shangguan Xiong?
But then I thought about it: Shangguan Qing is a golden lady with jade leaves, and she is just a poor boy with a tentacle cloth, even if she doesn't dislike it, Shangguan Xiong will never agree. Thinking of this, I am not so worried again.
However, no matter what the situation is, you have to repay the kindness of others before you can break it. It's just that how to repay others?
