Gong Yueyue was dumbfounded and rolled up her sleeves as if to beat him: "If you don't find trouble with me for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all day long, right?" Even so, an indescribable warm feeling filled her heart unconsciously.
When she was in the first century, she also had several cousins, one of whom was as unruly as a bad boy. He never spoke the right way and would always make her angry by not opening or lifting the pot... However, there were several cousins.
The one who is closest to her.
Half an hour later, the bonfires were all extinguished. Most people had fallen asleep, enjoying this hard-won sleep.
But Lu Ranqing's mind was heavy and she couldn't sleep no matter what. When she walked under the starry sky, the entire sky was silent, as if no one could point her to the right path.
There were rustling footsteps behind her, and she turned around suddenly, but was so shocked that she couldn't breathe for a long time. "It's you..." It must still be a dream, she has long been used to it. It won't take long for this illusory person to disappear without a trace.
Without a trace.
But this time, the illusion lasted for a long time. It was so long that she began to hope that it was all true. "What are you doing here?" she asked tentatively.
Zhao Xiong's tone was still calm, but he was slightly dissatisfied. "How could you hide such a big thing from me?" However, his dissatisfaction was not directed at Lu Ranqing, but at his two inconspicuous children.
them.
His indifferent attitude completely brought Lu Ranqing into reality, and she immediately said coldly: "So what? This is my business and has nothing to do with you!"
Zhao Xiong raised his eyebrows: "My son and daughter-in-law are all here, how can it have nothing to do with me?"
Of course she would not be stupid enough to think that he was here to worry about her. "Just take them away. You Central Plains people don't need to intervene here."
"That's exactly why I'm here." He said. The purpose of his coming this time was to take the two stinky kids home. Even if they couldn't be beaten, they would be punished with a thousand family lessons!
Lu Ranqing turned her face to the side and stopped looking at him: "They are by the bonfire, please do as you please."
Zhao Xiong walked away for a few steps, then stopped and asked nonchalantly: "Actually, why are you so persistent?"
Lu Ranqing was a little angry. She suppressed her anger, but still responded excitedly: "Zhao Xiong, don't think too highly of yourself. I have already put you down."
He curled his lips helplessly and explained: "I mean, why do you insist on sticking to this dead thing? A tower can be rebuilt after it falls, but a dead person cannot be resurrected. Can't you understand this truth?"
Zhao Xiong turned his head, his face as cold as the moonlight, his eyes moved on her face, but it still seemed out of reach. After looking at each other for a moment, he frowned slightly and said calmly: "Do you think you will bring all the believers to be buried here?"
, and in the end, they were destroyed and trampled together with the bones of their ancestors by the Liao army. Is this considered filial piety?"
She couldn't help but take a few steps closer to him. "But... it's better than abandoning them..."
After hearing this, Zhao Xiong raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, then turned his face to the side, his thoughts seemed to drift away from the desert: "My grandfather said something to my father, and then my father passed this sentence to me, and
I also gave Zhao'er a warning. If one day my father dies on the battlefield, don't always think about how to collect the body, but live on with your father's teachings and strength. This is the best filial piety."
"But what about those believers? What if they don't agree?"
He turned his gaze back to her frail figure, with a hint of smile, and sighed softly. "The so-called leader does not only drive people with force and financial resources, but the most important thing is their thoughts and spirit. The former
You can only make people surrender, and the latter can make people obey. I think you know better than me whether your followers will surrender to you, or whether they will sincerely obey you."
When the words fell, it could be seen from her expression that she had completely listened to them. He nodded and made a farewell gesture, and was about to leave.
Lu Ranqing followed a few steps and rushed forward to stop him, her eyes flashing with a charming halo: "What if! What if! What if I am not a member of the Ming Cult, what if I am just a woman from an ordinary family...would you...then...
Marry me?"
She felt like her whole body was shaking, and the wind and sand seemed to freeze in front of her eyes over time. Maybe, what she wanted was just an answer that made her feel comfortable. Maybe...
His face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of cold frost from beginning to end. It was like a barrier separating the two of them from the two worlds, and it was also like a deep gloom rising from his heart. In short, Zhijiao people could never figure it out.
After a long moment of silence, he lightly opened his lips and said: "Cao Rui is a good man, don't let him down."
The whole scene under this moon was clearly seen by Gong Yueyue who was ambushed behind a tent in the dark. Until the heroine left sadly, the hero just approached, and she jumped out from behind the tent.
, frightened him so much that he almost drew his sword, but fortunately he saw her face clearly in time. "Wow, sir, you are so handsome! I didn't expect that you are more handsome as a father than you are yourself!"
"I..." His whole body froze completely, and the expression on his face was quite astonished.
"Cao Rui is a good man, don't let him down. He couldn't be colder! Not to mention Aunt Qing, even my heart is pounding! Oh my god! Oh my god daddy!" She danced to express her surprise.
He praised and didn't give the other person a chance to interrupt at all, and finally stretched out his claws to greet him in the face, grabbing a bunch of his beard with a quick, cruel and precise method. "Quickly remove your beard and give me a kiss!"
"
"Hiss..." He probably didn't expect that she would actually come up and tear his beard off, so he screamed in pain and moved away.
She pouted and muttered regretfully: "It seems it's too tight. Let me be gentler..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she inadvertently glanced at a tall figure not far behind him, walking towards Lu Ranqing's tent. The clothes were different, but the faces were surprisingly similar... "Huh? Mr., you are here, in front of you.
Who is that person?" She pointed at the person in a daze and asked stupidly.
The man in front of him sighed heavily, held his forehead, and said helplessly: "That one should be my son, sir."
She was stunned for a moment, and all the expressions on her face and all the cells in her body seemed to freeze instantly. Then, her eyes suddenly turned into cross-eyes: "Strange, why is my head a little dizzy?" After speaking, she staggered back and collapsed.
Go down.
Zhao Xiong said nothing, folding his arms and admiring her poor acting skills. He thought: Pretend, keep pretending.
Gong Yueyue fell to the ground, and there were bursts of miserable cries in her heart: Oh my God! Gong Yueyue, you are so impatient! The tiger plucked the hair from its mouth, and you dare to pull the old father-in-law’s beard!
In an instant, the curtain in front of him was opened from the inside. Lu Ranqing's beautiful face appeared in front of him with mottled tears. "What are you doing?" Her sad face did not appear.
Zhao Changyuan expected shock or joy. Instead, he was surprised, sullen, or impatient...
"I... heard that something happened here, so I came after me to see if I could help." The aura he had prepared collapsed instantly under this unexpected start.
The complex emotions on her face gradually calmed down, replaced by a blank look. "You have seen it now, what do you think?"
He said straight to the point: "It's better to listen to Zhao'er's opinion and withdraw to the pass." Although he said it smoothly, he always felt that the atmosphere, the process, and the direction of the plot were very wrong...
Before he could think about it, she sneered, and then asked expressionlessly: "Why? Wouldn't it be good to fight to the death with the Liao people in front of our ancestors? Everyone will die in the end anyway, so you didn't want it long ago.
I'm dead, how can I live?"
These words were spoken calmly, without any cadence or emotional ups and downs, but they made Zhao Changyuan's scalp numb when he heard them, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
She took advantage of him being at a loss for words, pursed her lips, and said with a wicked smile: "Unless you promise me to take me into the house, I'm not afraid to make you a child, and it doesn't even matter to me if you don't have a name."
, I am determined to follow you for the rest of my life."
Even though he was in this freezing desert, these words made Zhao Changyuan feel like a fire was burning from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He looked straight at her, and after a long while he shook his head and said in disbelief: "You
How can you say such ridiculous things? My father already has my mother, and you also have my master. Why are you still struggling with it? What's wrong with my master? Why aren't you satisfied with having him? It's very difficult to do this.
Do you know how selfish you are?" The second half of the sentence seemed to him to be similar... but he didn't know that he had revealed a huge flaw.
Lu Ranqing gritted her teeth, glanced to the side, and said coldly: "Then just ignore me and let me die here."
He refused to give up and preached to her righteously: "Even if you die here, what is not yours will not be yours after all. It has no use except to make the people who care about you sad. The people you like will only think that you are
I'm stupid, I think you're not worthy of love." Speaking of excitement, half of his beard blew off...
"I originally thought that you didn't want to leave because of the bones of your ancestors and for your dignity and reputation. It turns out that I misunderstood. It's up to you." After saying that, he glued back the half strand of beard hanging on his lips and turned around.
Just leave...
At this moment, Lu Ranqing couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him gently. "You brat, you can think of it, you dare to play tricks on me!"
When he turned around in surprise, the original gloom on her face had disappeared, and she was squatting on the ground laughing non-stop. Only then did he suddenly realize that the person whose feelings had been deceived was himself.
Lu Ranqing finally stopped laughing and pulled off the awkward beard on his face. Finally, she said seriously: "I'm too tired. I want to have a good night's rest, and I will consider your proposal carefully. You can
Calm down and do what you have to do. I won't come to your house to compete with your mother."
"How did you recognize Aunt Qing?" he asked doubtfully.
"If you don't leave, I'm going to hit someone..." She felt that if she continued to laugh, she would lose sleep tonight, so she quickly drove this silly boy out of her sight. (To be continued)
