Jun Jiuling

There was a moment of silence in the tent where the medicine was boiled.

Miss Jun looked at Zhu Zan and pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something but felt that there was nothing to say.

"Stupid." She finally rolled her eyes, turned around and picked up the medicine pot.

"Don't play dumb." Zhu Zan snorted and followed, watching Miss Jun slowly pour out the boiled soup.

The concoction is rich and dark, and the bitter and sweet smell instantly fills the nostrils.

"Why am I pretending to be stupid?" Miss Jun said, her face blurred by the steaming heat and white smoke, "Didn't your father tell you that the engagement is fake? It's a stopgap measure, don't think too much about it."

Zhu Zan snorted.

"I've seen a lot of your tricks," he said.

Miss Jun put the medicine bowl into the tray.

"What kind of trick?" She asked casually, took out a herb from the medicine box, and carefully chopped it with a small knife.

The soft and crisp sound of ding ding ding in the camp did not make people feel irritable, but inexplicably calmed.

This solemn and orderly manner seemed that he was making trouble for no reason.

Zhu Zan stared, but he couldn't get angry. After all, he was dispensing medicine for his father.

"Advance by retreat." He gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to welcome or refuse, you deliberately tell my parents that you are doing this for righteousness, and Mrs. Shizi is an expedient measure. You won't take it seriously and don't care about being rejected. Tired of reputation, then my parents will sympathize with you and like you more, and you will be able to get your wish."

Miss Jun sprinkled the chopped herbs into the medicine bowl and looked up at him.

"What wish? What repayment?" she said.

"What are you pretending to do?" Zhu Zan said, "Be serious and talk about serious things. Don't be so serious."

Miss Jun laughed.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm not coveting you." She said, "Why can't I just serve the country and the people? Am I not that kind of person?"

Zhu Zan laughed dryly.

"Are you that kind of person?" he asked rhetorically. "You would do such a thing for no reason?"

Miss Jun tilted her head and thought about it.

"Thinking about it this way, it's really not true. If it wasn't for your parents, Bazhou Hejian would escort the people, and I would go if I had no money, but for Yizhou..." She said slowly, shaking her head, "I probably wouldn't go .”

"Look!" Zhu Zan shouted, "You still say it's not because of me?"

Miss Jun burst out laughing.

"Zhu Zan." She shouted, "You are enough."

"What is enough is enough, I am very clear about the small thoughts of women like you." Zhu Zan said with a solemn expression.

Miss Jun ignored him, picked up the tray and walked out.

Zhu Zan followed her.

"I am very grateful for what you have done to my parents. If you have any conditions, you can ask for anything."

"Just one thing, promise with your body, don't even think about it."

"Even if my parents agree, I will not agree. Don't think that if you win over my parents, you can persecute me."

Miss Jun rolled her eyes.

"Zhu Erxiao." She said, turning her head to look at him, "Don't worry, I didn't like you, you can stop being so nervous about your own life, don't quarrel with me, let me give it to your father first." Can you send medicine for the wound?"

Zhu Zan snorted.

"Who told you to call me Zhu Erxiao?" Immediately after he reacted, he stared and said.

Miss Jun rolled her eyes at him again, lifted the curtain and walked out.

Zhu Zan followed out, looked at the woman's back, smelled the strong aroma of the medicine that spread all the way, and stood still and let out a breath.

"Didn't you like me?" He stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Who would believe this, who wouldn't like someone like me?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone standing still not far away.

He raised his eyebrows and looked over.

"Young Master Ling..." Lei Zhonglian blurted out, then hurriedly shook her head, with a bit of nervousness, "No, no, my son."

Zhu Zan looked at him and said nothing.

"My lord, do you still remember me?" Lei Zhonglian said, with an expression of admiration that couldn't be concealed.

Although Ling Jiugongzi admired him a little at the beginning, he didn't have a deep friendship after all, and his image at that time was really...

Now that he knew that Ling Jiu was the son of the Duke of Cheng, and heard that the son was retreating from protecting the people from the Jin army in Xiongzhou, Baozhou, he admired him even more.

You must know that the son of the world does not have as many soldiers and horses as them, nor do they have these sharp weapons. He has personally experienced how difficult it is to stop the gold thief and protect the people from retreating.

Zhu Zan squinted his eyes at him.

"Of course I remember you." He said, "It's you again."

Lei Zhonglian was slightly taken aback.

"What do you want to see, and then give me money." Zhu Zan said angrily, and strode away with his sleeves thrown.

In fact, it is better to be famous than to meet. The prestige and reverence of Cheng Guogong's son is still in the legend.

Lei Zhonglian stood on the spot and thought.

…………………………………………

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the sun is shining brightly, the severe cold of winter has been swept away, and the spring breeze has become less pleasant, with a strong wind blowing through the dust.

Horseshoes are trampling on the road, a group of people and horses are marching mightily, colorful flags are fluttering, and the uniform red armor is particularly bright in the sun.

The cavalry in front, the infantry in the rear, and the food and grass carts in the rear accompanied them in a mighty manner.

Teams of fast horses were galloping ahead, running back from time to time to convey the location ahead.

Word of the team's actions quickly spread.

The soldiers guarding the city of Tang County saw the soldiers and horses approaching from a distance, and were startled and frightened, but fortunately, they soon learned that they were soldiers and horses of Cheng Guogong who had withdrawn from Yizhou and were stationed at Anyangkou.

"So it's Duke Cheng who left the camp?"

The officials of Tang County hurriedly ran up the city gate wall to look out.

When Cheng Guogong entered Dingzhou from Yizhou, they all heard the news. As subordinate officials, they immediately went to condolences in person, but they were turned away like all the officials and generals in Dingzhou.

No one saw Cheng Guogong.

Everyone speculated that Cheng Guogong might be seriously injured, especially when Cheng Guogong's son arrived a few days ago. According to people peeping outside the camp, they saw Cheng Guogong's eyes red and he was frowning every day.

Maybe Cheng Guogong will die.

Cheng Guogong's death affected too many people, so these people delayed as much as they could, and covered up as much as they could.

Can't wait now?

The officers and generals standing on the city wall watched nervously. The soldiers and horses on the road were getting closer, and their expressions became more and more surprised.

This pair of men and horses are mighty and well-organized, and there is no sign of them being abandoned in the slightest.

"It's not that the remnants are defeated."

"Isn't Cheng Guogong's soldiers all dead and disabled?"

Many people on the city wall were discussing in low voices, seeing the soldiers and horses getting closer and closer, they only felt the pressure on their faces.

That coercion was baptized from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.

"Quick, quick, meet the Duke." A general shouted subconsciously.

Shouting this made the people around him a little complicated.

According to the original discussion, they did not intend to let Cheng Guogong's troops enter the city. After all, they still don't know how the court judged Cheng Guogong's behavior, especially when they heard that Cheng Guogong was seriously injured and would die.

There is no need to offend the court for this dead man.

But now that I don't see it, it's okay. When I see it, all my previous thoughts are gone.

Cheng Guogong, or Cheng Guogong, this military formation is awe-inspiring and admirable.

The others also immediately made a decision to go down to greet them, but saw that the army did not stop at all, and roared away around the county.

The direction to go is Dingzhou Prefecture.

The officials in Dingzhou also knew immediately that Cheng Guogong's army had withdrawn from camp.

There were soldiers and horses standing outside Dingzhou City early on, and countless people gathered from all over the fields behind them, all of them looked nervously into the distance.

The ground was booming, horseshoes were thundering, and a group of people gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

They are tall and straight, with excellent armor, crossbows on their waists, long knives and quivers on their backs, and they come in a neat line up like a mountain.

There are many Sheng flags in the queue, and three flags rise high.

A shot with a yellow heart and a red edge, with the words "Shun'an Army" written on it.

A stick of red and gold characters, with the words "Qingshan Army" written on it.

And the one in the middle surrounded by these two flags is a big flag with black characters on a white background beside the flames. There is only one word in the letter, Zhu.

Cheng Guogong, Zhu Shan.

It is the banner of Zhu Shan, the Duke of Cheng.

As several horses galloped back and forth, the people and horses were getting closer and closer. After a while, with the sound of horns, the army stopped, except for the fluttering of the Sheng flag, there was no sound from him.

Another horn was sounded, the army formation separated on both sides, and a large vehicle slowly drove out. The big red flag was erected on this vehicle.

As the car drove out, the person sitting in the car also stood up.

He was dressed in silver heavy armor and was tall, but he was not as fierce as other generals, probably because of his fair skin.

Seeing this person standing up, the originally noisy crowd outside Dingzhou Prefecture fell silent, and they seemed to freeze inside and outside. All eyes were on this person getting out of the car steadily, and took over the bag carried by the soldiers on the side. The big knife, easily twisted the knife flower, and put the big knife heavily on the ground.

The ground seemed to be shaking.

"I, Zhu Shan, am back." Wen Chun's voice followed.

Accompanied by this falling sound, the quiet crowd suddenly boiled up, countless people shouted and laughed, and some even knelt down one after another.

"Duke Cheng!"

"My lord!"

Shouting and tsunami, the whole world boiled.

Looking at this scene, the generals present had complicated expressions.

"Going back without dying this time, Duke Cheng's prestige will be even greater." A civil servant sighed softly.

…………………………………………

Hearing the cheers and seeing the ecstasy of the people in front of the officials with complicated and fearful expressions, Miss Jun had a big smile on her face.

Someone coughed heavily behind her.

"What kind of idea did you come up with? My father never used big swords in front of others." Zhu Zan said dissatisfied in a low voice, "It's too exaggerated."

"It's not exaggerated." Miss Jun turned her head and smiled at him, "I think it looks pretty."

He stretched out his finger again and pointed forward.

"Everyone also thinks it looks good, how beautiful, how shocking."

This is the appearance that Cheng Guogong should have, not the one who is seriously injured and weak. Although Cheng Guogong's staff said that this way can capture people's hearts better, Miss Jun feels that people's hearts are never captured by tragedy.

"Only being strong and unstoppable can capture people's hearts." She said, looking up at Cheng Guogong who was standing majestically in front of the army formation.

We must let everyone know that Cheng Guogong survived a hundred battles and was invincible.
