Compete for the Song Dynasty

Wang Pang and Di Qing looked at each other, and they pretended to go out, seeing He Li Bo's tone and demeanor, he probably didn't recognize them.Di Qing took a look at He Libo. This young man has a strong build, bronze skin, a square face with regular features, and thick eyebrows and big eyes. Going to Di Qing, but you know that Di Qing has already been a soldier, a general. Is he just a person with no job?"

He Libo said with determination in his eyes: "Master Di is famous far and wide, and the villain has always admired Master Di. It is precisely because I heard that he is not happy now that I have the opportunity to join him." After finishing speaking, he looked at Di Qing and asked in surprise "Dear man, I saw the word 'Zhi' tattooed on your face. You must have been a soldier. I don't know if you have seen Mr. Di. I heard that he looks very powerful. Every time he goes into battle, With disheveled hair and a copper mask on his face, the enemy army is intimidated, just looking at the masked general, his legs and feet are already half weak?"

Di Qing smiled, just as Wang Pang was about to speak, the waiter leaned over and said, "Speaking of Master Di, I met him once when I was young."

The people in the county burst into laughter, and a middle-aged man said: "I said Shopkeeper Xiao Lu, you have never been old. When you were young, you let our old neighbors be buried."

Shopkeeper Xiao Lu clicked his tongue twice: "Uncles, what I'm talking about is that I met this Lord Di when I was young." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said proudly, "Does this Lord Di look like,,, like this official?" You are as fair and clean as me." He pointed to Di Qing and continued, "However, Master Di looks energetic and dignified, not as thin as this official." The king looked at Di Qing, and Di Qing had indeed lost a lot of weight, with sunken eyes. The cheeks also seemed to be shaved a bit, and the color was dull, so it's no wonder that Xiao Er couldn't recognize it.Di Qing smiled slightly, but heard the shopkeeper Xiao Lu say again: "Big man, you subdued the tiger lady just with that "slap", you can teach me later."

He Libo was laughed at by him, and said: "What am I, Mr. Di is powerful. I heard that martial arts are world-class, and the arrow that pierces Yang with a hundred steps is the real skill."

The shop clerk shook his head: "It's useless for me to learn that, I just need to learn how you don't get beaten."

All the diners in the store laughed, and the people from the county said: "Shopkeeper Xiaolu, your fear of guilt is worse than Lord Wang Anshi in Bianjing City. It is rumored that Lord Wang dare not take concubines because of fear of guilt. If you don't get beaten every day It's enough."

Wang Pang and Di Qing looked at each other, it was true what this man said was scary, but it was spread like this out of shape.

Shopkeeper Xiao Lu tidied up the store and walked to the customer's table, and said: "Uncles, don't tell me. There is a young man in Mr. Wang's house, who is said to be one year younger than me. I talk to everyone every day. It took a long time to become a small shopkeeper, but my father lost his job. As for others, standing on the Golden Luan Hall, boring and boring with the old man of the emperor, he was named an eighth-rank official. He is about to catch up with our county magistrate gone."

Wang Pang almost stopped laughing when he took a sip of wine. The little shopkeeper Lu was poorer than himself, so he said again: "You are the son-in-law of the former county, and you are almost the same as the young master of the Wang family."

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Xiao Lu curled his lips: "Just the eighth grade is not enough, the adoptive father is Bao Zheng, and the master is Di Qing."

People from this county said: "Don't you have a tiger mother?" Everyone laughed again.

Xiao Lu laughed a few times, "My daughter-in-law is fierce, but she loves me very much; what's more, the princes and nobles propose marriage, and they don't follow, so let me be the waiter in the shop, so let's be fierce." He smiled silly again. , looks naive.

He Libo said: "Even if you are a daughter-in-law, why are you still called a mother?"

Shopkeeper Xiao Lu explained: "My daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and she hasn't passed the family yet. My daughter-in-law was given the nickname Rouge Tiger, and she is more knowledgeable than me. I can't beat her, so she must be beaten."

Everyone was amused by him again, Wang Pang also showed a rare smile when he saw Di Qing.

While talking and joking, a small sedan chair stopped in front of the tavern, followed by an official, walked into the shop, looked around, walked up to the king's side, Di Qing, and said politely, "Excuse me, you two are Mrs. Di." With Lord Wang?"

The two frowned, they didn't want to disturb the government, but they nodded when they saw the officer asking.Everyone in the shop fell silent immediately, looking at them in surprise, He Libo even stared at Di Qing and then at the king.

The officer handed over the county magistrate's name post and said: "The magistrate of the county invites you to come to the mansion and stay for a few days. A villain is specially sent to welcome you. The magistrate of the county has set up a banquet and waits for the two adults."

Di Qing couldn't refuse, so he whispered a few words to Wang Pang, stood up and asked Xiao Lu to pay the bill. .

Shopkeeper Xiao Lu said: "Oh my god, look at me for not being good at it, it's all my fault."

Di Qing took out an ingot of about two taels of silver, put it on the table and said, "Take it, even this little brother's money will be counted in my account." After speaking, he took Wang Pang and walked out of the shop.

Wang Pang walked past He Libo and patted him on the shoulder, He Libo was still in a daze, Wang Pang said "Let's go the same way" and walked out of the shop. [

Di Qing got into the sedan chair, and Wang Pang followed behind the sedan chair like a county government office.The people in the store regained their composure and discussed one after another. Seeing that He Libo was still sitting there, shopkeeper Xiao Lu called him: "You are so big, you are so stupid, why don't you go quickly."

He Libo was awakened by these words, he hurriedly stood up, turned around and chased after him.

They only stayed in Weishi County for two days, and the three of them were going to continue their journey. A carriage followed by two horses. Di Qing sat in the carriage, feeling happy and worried. There is no news about Liang Yuexia.

Wang Pang was also happy, He Libo was ten years old, and he seemed to have practiced some martial arts.There can be more than one person to protect Di Qing along the way, besides, He Libo has a straight temper and is easy to get along with.

Before the chariots and horses left the county town, they saw shopkeeper Xiao Lu running towards them with a cloth bag on his back.Panting, he ran up to them and said, "Take me away, too."

He Libo said: "Why are you following? Did you scare the tiger mother?"

Xiao Lu snorted at him and then said to the people in the carriage shed: "Master Di, I also inquired, you two don't have any followers on this trip, if you don't mind, just take me with you .”

Di Qing hesitated, and the shopkeeper Xiao Lu said again: "Look at this store, I can't survive without the neighbors to take care of me. It's not a big deal, just let me follow you and learn something while serving me. "

He Libo said: "My lord has me to serve you, what can you do?"

While avoiding He Libo's horse's head, shopkeeper Xiao Lu said: "You just follow Mr. Di, Mr. Wang is also a son, and you have to be served by someone." Turning around, he continued to beg Di Qing: "My lord, You just accept the villain, just take care of food and lodging, no wages."

Di Qing lifted the cotton curtain on the side of the carriage and looked at Wang Pang. Wang Pang felt that the shopkeeper Xiao Lu was clever, so he nodded and said, "Master, if he wants to follow, he can follow. Anyway, the housekeeper is gone. This little Lu The shopkeeper is very clever, we really need manpower."

Di Qing said to shopkeeper Xiaolu, "If you settle down, follow along, but" shopkeeper Xiaolu said, "Don't worry, my lord, the shop is rented out, and the tiger lady just collects the bill on a monthly basis. Anyway, I'm married now." It's still early, and I want to travel for two years." After speaking, he looked at Wang Pang and He Libo's tall horses and scratched his head.

Wang Pang saw that it would be difficult for him to get on the horse, so he pointed to the driver's seat where Di Qing's carriage driver sat. There was enough space for two people to sit side by side. .Shopkeeper Xiao Lu responded: "Okay!" He jumped on the driver's seat, made a gesture of waving his whip, and yelled: "Men, let's go!"

The people on the horse in the car were all amused by him, but they left Weishi County happily and continued on their way.

After crossing Fugou County and going to Xihua County, Xiaoxing stayed overnight and walked for nearly ten days before arriving outside Zhoukou County.He Libo urged the horse to go first, and went to the county town to find a good mansion to reserve a room. Since he settled in the store, Lu Shenyan, the shopkeeper Xiaolu, had already chosen a nearby restaurant and ordered meals.Also, he was responsible for boiling medicine for Di Qing every day, so Wang Pang felt much more relaxed.

Only occasionally there is still a shadow outside, Wang Pang knew that this person followed all the way, once, He Libo discovered him unexpectedly.Since then, He Libo has also been vigilant, probably because there are more people around Di Qing, but there are fewer black shadows.

Thinking that he would arrive in Chenzhou after walking for two or three days, Wang Pang was happy, but Di Qing seemed to be getting more and more depressed. His condition had relapsed after seeing improvement just now. When it caught up with the heavy snow, he fell ill again in Didian just after entering Zhoukou County. .Everyone had to stay in Zhoukou County for two more days.

Today in the room on the second floor of the mansion shop, Di Qing felt a little better, so he let He Libo open, and the outside was covered in silver, and the whole county was shrouded in snow.Di Qing sighed, the heavy snow won't stop for half a day, and it probably will stay for another two days.

In the room: Lu Shenyan was boiling the medicine on the charcoal stove. He stirred the medicine jar with chopsticks. He Libo took out a chess set from somewhere and asked the king to play two games. Lu Shenyan said with a smile: "You A big man, will he also meet Lanke Xianke at Fangtinghou? He will definitely lose to the young master."

He Libo glared at him: "You little Lu, cook your medicine well, so what if I win the son?"

Lu Shenyan said: "If you win, the young master will let you." He Libo ignored him.

Wang Pang smiled, these two people always quarreled with each other, with these two people, the whole journey was considered lively, and he was also a person who likes to be lively, although he also talked intimately with Wang Yuanze in Wang Anshi's mansion, but Wang Yuanze was the son of everyone, and he talked a lot Serious, sometimes you can't make a joke even if you want to. [

Besides playing chess, Wang Pang is more or less good at it, not to mention Wang Anshi, who is proficient in chess, said: "Okay, let's play a game today, as the saying goes: People can't go out when the north wind blows, sit quietly and can play with each other." Junqi. It was not too late in the Ming Dynasty to cast a game, and since then I will never sing poems again."

I also admire myself when I speak out.

Seeing He Libo Baizi's "opposite thousands of miles" chess position, Wang Pang thought that "Flying the Swan alone" chess position was facing each other, and while playing, he thought that this He Libo was not an ordinary person, he looked tall and mighty, but also With a delicate mind, take his next game as an example, he is not afraid of facing thousands of miles away, but he is also clever.Wang Pang didn't want to love to fight, so he made the next killer.He Li Bobai is a good player, and the abandonment tactics are used to seize the opportunity. Wang Pang is not in a hurry, he ignores the abandonment, and continues to kill in the same way. Opening a gap, I wanted to sacrifice my pieces to keep most of the wall, but which king continued to attack the weaker side, it seems that He Libo has lost this game of chess.

Lu Shenyan looked at the chessboard and said, "What do I say?" He Libo conceded defeat and continued to start the game again. Seeing that the game was not so nervous, Lu Shenyan said to Wang Pang who was resting and drinking tea: "My lord, why do I feel that the two ends are not the same?" Too right?"

Wang Pang asked: "What's wrong?" Lu Shenyan took out the boiled medicine grate and said, "We have been here for so many days, no matter where we go, no matter where the county is, the county magistrate will invite him to entertain us, but only in Zhoukou County for two days. Why didn't you even see the figure of the official messenger?"
