Chapter 57 The undercover contest

I'm really busy today. Sorry, sorry, one chapter is up.

Early on the next morning, the army continued to advance. However, the closer Zhangyang Xiahoudun's army came to Dalonggou, the more severe the blockade in front became.

In order to avoid unnecessary bloodshed as much as possible and preserve their strength for a last-ditch effort, they walked very carefully. They could only stop and go in the dangerous mountains and rivers. They meandered less than five miles in a day.

As the sun set, we chose a secluded spot to camp.

Li Tian was about to go back to rest and see how he would pass on the information he had carefully gathered the next day, when he heard a pleasant voice behind him: "Mr. Li, please stay."

Li Tian looked back and saw a girl in white clothes with snow floating on her face, standing in the dim light and smiling at him. Next to her was a pretty girl in blue.

He had only been here for a day in a hurry, and he was thinking about collecting information, so he really didn't notice Zheng Bing's existence.

Li Tian's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised the girl's astonishing beauty. Then he politely saluted Zheng Bing and said, "I wonder how the girl recognized me? Why?"

Zheng Bing made her steps slowly and came over. She gracefully poured a blessing on Li Tian who was a bit puzzled. She smiled and said, "The slave family heard from the generals yesterday that they rescued Mr. Li who they thought was from Xiliang.

He is the nephew of the national scholar Li Ke, so the slave family couldn't help but come to pay homage to Mr. Li."

Li Tian's eyes moved, he stared at Zheng Bing and asked: "Is the girl..."

Zheng Bing turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Li doesn't know something. He is from Xiliang, and my family is also from Xiliang. Moreover, my uncle is Mr. Zheng Taizheng..."

Speaking of this, Zheng Bing's bright and charming eyes dimmed, and he sighed faintly: "My family and my husband are not only fellow villagers, but also fallen people..."

Li Tian's heart moved and he thought to himself: "I pretended to be the relatives of those dead ghosts and sneaked in. I didn't expect to actually meet the relatives of those dead ghosts here... What a coincidence."

Li Tian's face became solemn as he thought about it, he saluted Zheng Bing solemnly, and said in a sad and angry voice: "Master Zheng Tai and my uncle both died for the country. Don't worry, young lady, I will avenge this revenge."

I must get this justice back."

Zheng Bing also had tears in his eyes. He bowed deeply to Li Tian and said: "Sir... I leave this revenge to you. If you need anything from the slave family, just say it. The slave family is full of blood and blood. As long as it can be avenged, the slave family will not hesitate to pay any price."

Li Tianxu helped her up and looked at the beauty who was crying and felt pity for her. Li Tian, ​​who was not a womanizer, was also moved in her heart. She thought to herself: "Dong Dashuai is crazy about beautiful women. If he gives this to himself,

The commander must be very happy to send the silly girl who comes to his door to him."

Thinking of Li Tian, ​​he comforted Zheng Bing with a few gentle words, and then invited him very gentlemanly: "My lady and I are not only from the same hometown, but also my uncle is a patriot who died for the country. Now we are even more destined to meet here. It's really

It is a rare fate. I have the courage to ask you to drink a glass of water in a private place and talk about your daily life to relieve your homesickness. I wonder what you think of it?"

Zheng Bing pretended to be hesitant, but smiled secretly in his heart: "I'm just waiting for your words."

Zheng Bing naturally followed Li Tian half-heartedly.

Zheng Bing is the niece of the hero Zheng Tai, and Li Tian is also the nephew of the national scholar Li Ke. Although Zheng Bing received more preferential treatment as a female relative, Li Tian, ​​who was gray-haired, naturally did not treat her badly and also had a tent of his own.

After saying hello to the passing patrol soldiers, Li Tian enthusiastically invited Zheng Bing and his servant in.

After lighting the oil lamp and moving the futon, Li Tian mockingly pointed to his empty tent and said to Zheng Binglian'er: "The family is broken up and we are living outside. We are exhausted and have nothing to do with the walls. We really can't bring anything to entertain the young lady. It's really...

…”

After saying that, Li Tian shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Zheng Bing hurriedly comforted her in a soft voice: "The slave family, just like Mr., are all in trouble. Others don't feel sorry for us, but we, the lonely guests, need to understand and care for each other."

Li Tian smiled gratefully at Zheng Bing, and went to look for the coarse porcelain kettle that was brought to him in a flamboyant manner. He smiled apologetically and said, "Take a seat, you two. I'll boil a kettle of water right away. I'm sorry for the lack of hospitality."

, I hope you can forgive me."

Zheng Bing winked at Lian'er, who nodded understandingly, then hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the kettle with a smile, and said: "Sir, what's the job for you to do these menial tasks? I'll just come here, sir. You should accompany my lady, sir."

Talk about it."

Zheng Bing also smiled and said: "Sir, let Lian'er go."

Li Tian no longer insisted, smiled and cupped his hands to Zheng Bing, and then sat down on the cushion opposite Zheng Bing.

Zheng Bing looked at Li Tian's pale hair and asked softly: "Sir, this white hair must be caused by grief and anger."

Li Tian nodded, pointed at his reed-like white hair, stared at Zheng Bing, and said tremblingly: "Who would have thought that a sudden disaster would happen, and the family would be wiped out in a moment. Everything would be lost in the blink of an eye, and life would last only one night... This world really makes people miserable.

I hate that I can’t express it. I didn’t know how to cherish what I had before. I thought that my relatives and brothers would always be by my side like they were before, at least they would live longer than me. When I die, they will be by my side and watch over you...

But in the blink of an eye, they left first, leaving me alone in this desolate world... This world is so indescribable..."

After speaking, Li Tian raised his head with tears in his eyes, and Zheng Bing seemed to be touched. She looked at the solitary lamp beating like a bean with misty eyes and said quietly: "So, we must cherish what we have now, and lose it

Once it is gone, it will never be found again.”

At this time, Zheng Bing couldn't help but think of Zhang Yang's inexplicable words yesterday.

"Come with us, forget all the unpleasant and illusory things in the past, cherish the people who care and love you now, and seize your own happiness. Don't let down the feelings of those who are good to you or hurt them. In the future, you will

You will know that this kind of pure love is more useful than things obtained through use and calculation... It's not too late to make a decision now... OK?"

"Is that person showing his feelings to me?" Zheng Bing thought as Zhang Yang's deep gaze appeared in his mind.

"Haha, another one...he is neither the first nor the last." Zheng Bing couldn't help but think of the men who coveted her beauty and expressed their admiration for her along the way.

funny.

She really hasn't thought about her destiny, or maybe it's the most exciting time in her life. The girl is having fun playing games, and she doesn't care about which man may accompany her for the rest of her life.

However, this did not prevent her from subconsciously comparing Zhang Yang with those various admirers in the past. She recalled Zhang Yang's serious, sometimes teasing, sometimes gentle, and sometimes cold demeanor at that time, and concluded: "He... is okay.

Not too annoying.”

Both of them were touched, and their thoughts wandered for a while. The tent suddenly became quiet, and they could only hear the subtle "sizzling" sound of the oil lamp burning.

At this moment, Lian'er came in, carrying the steaming porcelain pot and two flowered porcelain tea bowls.

The two of them had just recovered from their fugue, and both smiled apologetically at each other. Then Lian'er and Zheng Bing's eyes met, and Zheng Bing knew what was going on.

She nodded with extremely subtle movements, and Lian'er set the tea bowls, but Zheng Bing stood up, filled the two tea bowls with an elegant gesture, and brought one of the steaming bowls of tea to Li Tian with both hands.

He smiled lightly and said: "I am a junior, I would like to give you a cup of tea, sir."

Li Tian didn't hesitate, took it with both hands, nodded and said with a smile: "As a master, I am really flattered to be served tea by a guest."

Zheng Bing and Lian'er watched Li Tian finish the tea, looked at each other, and both showed faint smiles.

Next, they chatted about the customs and customs of Xiliang while drinking. Finally, the two of them also talked about some classics and history collections, and met to have the opportunity to compete on the piano skills. Then, the tea party was in a harmonious atmosphere.

it's over.

On the way back, Zheng Bing asked Lian'er: "How much croton powder did he put in his bowl? Will anything happen?"

Lian'er smiled and said: "It'll be okay. This is not the first time that this slave has administered medicine. I will definitely control the dosage of the medicine just right. He will be fine. This night, he will be in the wilderness.

Spent the night in the open toilet."

Zheng Bing also smiled and nodded: "You can report to that brat Xiao'e tomorrow."

Just as Li Tian was about to turn on the lamp and go to sleep, he felt his stomach growl, and then he had a strong desire to squat in a pit.

With that said, Li Tian put on his clothes again and ran out quickly. The place where he found someone was a dark place. Before he could even think about going back, and before he could pick up his clothes, his stomach growled again.

The unspeakable feeling forced him to take off his belt again and squat down...

I don't know how long it took before he stood up with trembling legs as if he was exhausted. Looking at the pile of smelly feces behind him, Li Tian smiled bitterly and said: "I ate something wrong. I...

…”

Looking at the crescent moon setting in the west, he realized that he had been squatting until most of the night.

Early the next morning, Xiao Lian ran to Xiao'e and said secretly: "Yesterday, that white-haired weirdo Li Tian stopped me and my lady and refused to let us leave unless we went to his place. My lady and I were so pestered that we couldn't do it.

I went there, only to find that Li Tian turned out to be a sanctimonious slut. He said he was inviting the young lady to reminisce about old times in the name of a fellow countryman, but in fact he wanted to offend our young lady——"

When Xiao'e heard this, she immediately became interested. She jumped up and leaned over and asked with shining eyes: "Did he succeed in molesting your lady?"

When Lian'er saw her like that, she immediately thought to herself: "You really want my young lady to be molested."

Lian'er shook her head: "No."

Xiao'e was a little disappointed when she heard that and immediately lost interest, but then she heard Lian'er say: "However, when he tried to use both soft and hard tactics to persuade my young lady to submit, he let the slip and exposed his identity."

Upon hearing this, Xiao'e became interested again and hurriedly asked: "Tell me what sentence he missed?"

Zhang Yang had just finished discussing official matters with Xiahou Dun when he saw Suning approaching quietly and said: "My lord, Li Tian went out sneakily last night and came back at midnight. I followed him for a while, but I discovered some secrets."

Zhang Yang was stunned, then saw Suning hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I suspect he is an undercover agent sent by the enemy."
