That night, Chu Qing and Fu San were walking on the bank of Liuhe River.
The wind was slightly cool, Chu Qing put the fox fur on Fu San's body, Fu San showed a simple smile, waved his hand, and tightened the fox fur tightly.
Half an hour ago, Tong Gui came to Qianqiying Yamen and said that Huang Si wanted to meet Chu Qing and made an appointment on the bank of Liuhe River.
Chu Qing came early, and he roughly guessed what General Huang Si wanted to do with him.
"Third brother." Chu Qing stopped, looking at the flower boats floating on the Liuhe River, and was very curious: "In the moon landing tower, fighting to the death, you said you asked me to tell many girls not to wait for you. These girls
, are they all your sweethearts?"
Fu San scratched his head and showed a shy smile, with a blush appearing on his dark face.
Chu Qing laughed dumbly.
He was not used to Fu San's current reticence.
At the earliest, Fu San had anger in his heart. Where did the anger come from? Chu Wensheng, who had killed enemies for his country, was humiliated everywhere after he returned to the capital. The Chu family was humiliated everywhere, and Fu San was angry.
After being hit by that pebble, Fu San changed and learned to think. In other words, he had always thought, but few people saw it.
Last night, he got hit with a knife again. When he woke up, Fu San had changed again. He was taciturn and only smiled naively, as if a person with a very stupid mouth couldn't express himself.
Chu Qing didn't know what happened to Fu San, but it would be fine no matter what happened to Fu San, as long as he lived well.
A tall and straight figure came from a distance, walking vigorously, it was Emperor Chang Chengyou.
Huang Laosi was wearing a white Confucian robe, well-tailored, obviously the attire of a scholar, but wearing it, he had the killing temperament of a warrior.
"Fourth." Chu Qing waved his hand, not enthusiastically, with a bit of helplessness hidden in his eyes.
Behind Huang Laosi, there was a carriage parked. On top of the carriage was the short sword Qianji that was to be given to Chu Qing instead of to Chu Qing.
"Brother Chu Xian." After Huang Laosi came over, he smiled: "I heard about the Moon Landing Tower. It's okay if you don't mind."
After saying that, he looked at Fu San, who had a splint on his arm and a medical cloth tied to his arm. Huang Laosi nodded slightly: "Fighting twelve people alone, you are a good man."
Just as Fusan was about to speak, his temples suddenly felt stinging, and he subconsciously touched his head.
Chu Qing quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
"It doesn't matter if you're young." Fu San shook his head vigorously, his face looking slightly pale.
Chu Qing was worried: "Is the wind blowing?"
Not to mention ancient times, even in later generations, many diseases cannot be detected after hurting the head.
"It's okay, young master, don't worry, it's just a flesh injury."
Fusan gritted his teeth, rubbed his temples vigorously, and showed a silly smile: "Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, I just felt a little uncomfortable just now."
"Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me and I will take you back."
Fu San shook his head, then tossed his head again, looking absent-minded.
Huang Laosi smiled.
He admires such people and appreciates people who care about protecting their lives.
"Brother Xian, Brother Yu has something to tell you." Huang Laosi turned around and looked at the flower boat on the Liuhe River.
It was obviously already autumn, but there were no shortage of patrons on the flower boats. Many scholars in Confucian robes were dissolute, and their dirty words that were unworthy of elegance reached their ears with the breeze.
These scholars seem to have two faces.
The sun is shining brightly, talking about home and country, worrying about the country and the people, giving guidance to the country.
The moonlight is approaching, but it is even worse than the most scoundrel Xianshan in Bei City.
Chu Qing said "Oh" and just observed Fu San, fearing that the third brother would be uncomfortable.
Huang Laosi smiled slightly: "Actually, the name of this general is fake."
"Fake?"
"That's right. Don't you notice anything when you read my name?"
Huang Laosi's smile grew stronger, not wanting to let go of the shocked expression on Chu Qing's face.
As a result, Chu Qing remained silent, but Fu San muttered in a low voice: "Huang Laosi...Huang Laosi..."
Fu San raised his head and his eyes lit up: "Is your name Huang Lusi?"
Huang Laosi was so angry: "What the hell Huang Lusi, I will be called Huang Laosi... No, I will be called Huang Laosi!"
Looking at Chu Qing, Huang Laosi was too lazy to talk in circles. Just when he was about to call himself "I", he noticed that Chu Qing's eyebrows were full of worry.
Chu Qing's eyes never left Fu San's head.
In the last life, Chu Qing had seen a case in which a strong man accidentally touched the back of his head. Nothing happened at the time, but he fainted a few days later. He was sent to the hospital and rescue efforts failed. He told his family that he could
Ready for dinner.
At that time, the doctor judged that external force had caused blood stasis and compressed the nerves. Therefore, brain injuries were often not visible at the scene, for fear of causing problems later.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Qing was worried.
Seeing that Chu Qing was worried about Fu San, Huang Laosi comforted him and said, "He is a warrior who has fought many battles. It's just a minor injury. Don't worry."
Fu San nodded repeatedly: "Young master, your young body is very strong. The more humble a person is, the harder his life is."
Chu Qing forced a smile and said, "Third brother, please talk more. I always feel that something is wrong with you."
Since Fu San woke up, he had spoken very little. Chu Qing tried to determine whether Fu San's injury had damaged his brain.
"Master, what did you ask me to say...?"
"Just tell me what you asked me to bring to those girls last night." Chu Qing pretended to be extremely envious: "When people explain their funeral affairs, at most they only give the names of their wives, children, and children. It would be better for you to give the names of a dozen girls.
.”
Huang Laosi also became interested and looked at Fu San from top to bottom: "I can't tell, you are quite a prodigal."
Fu San chuckled: "It's not like I'm in love, I just agreed to it."
"What was promised?"
Fu San counted on his fingers: "Let's talk about Xiao Ping. Her parents were so cruel that they sold her on a boat. When she first went there, she was seeking death and survival. She jumped into the river four times. The little one saw that this was not going to work.
Ah, just tell her that I care about her, but I am short of money and there is no way to redeem her life. She will do it first. I won’t mind it. In the future, we can save enough money together and take him far away."
"Xiaoping, right?" Chu Qing secretly wrote down the name: "I will bring the money to redeem her body tomorrow."
Fu San waved his hands repeatedly: "Master, you have misunderstood. I just feel sorry for her. Life is not easy. This life will be more miserable. Just grit your teeth and straighten your teeth. But if you die again and die, you will be reincarnated."
The next life may be even worse than this one. I coax her first and let her live anyway. It’s not easy to survive in this shitty world. How can I die casually? You think so, just like when you helped the refugees before.
,Yes, hope is called hope. No matter how miserable it is, if she can have hope, she can survive."
Chu Qing fell silent, looked at the flower boat again, and remained silent.
Huang Laosi looked moved and murmured the word "hope" several times.
Fu San continued cheerfully: "There is also Ping'er, the daughter of a prison officer, who was sold on a flower boat in Jiaoshifang. Her father offended many people when he was in court, and he did not dare to live anymore for fear of being humiliated...
"
Sighing, Fu San continued: "I have been humiliated countless times, and people are crazy. I lied to him for a long time and said that I was a lieutenant colonel in the army. Wait for me a few years until I get out of the army.
I will punish those who bullied her one by one, and I will not spare any of them."
Chu Qing patted Fu San on the shoulder: "There is still hope, right?"
"Yes, the young master is right. It is always good to hope and give hope to others, but the little one..." Fu San scratched the back of his head: "The little one can only lie to them. He can say it, but he can't do it.
There is also Qiao Nan from Yifeng House. Her husband died in the East China Sea. She had to support a pair of children who could not afford to raise them. When the younger one and her husband were at the border, they ladleed broth into a pot.
The body of the dead husband is incomplete, but there is a letter in his arms."
"What's in the letter?"
Fu San thought about it for a moment, and then said his words word for word: "I don't want to join the army, but if I don't join the army, my family will not be able to survive. I know that you women are not happy, and the wretched court gives you so little food and salary that you cannot afford to support your mother."
Three, I also know that you have fallen in love with the talented dog from the same village. His family has several acres of land. You care about his land, but you should not be in a hurry to make peace. I am now at the border, and there are wars every day.
I'm not bragging to you. I'm the fastest sprinter and don't even wear armor. You wait for the good news about me. I'll die on the battlefield soon. If the ball dies, the court will give me a large pension and money.
When you get home, you buy a few acres of land. Once you have the land, you can marry your children and be less bullied. Tell that dog named Zhou that if he bullies you, even though I have become a ghost, I will kill him from the ground.
Come up and claim his life."
Fu San was still smiling, but this smile was so bitter.
"Actually, I'm not familiar with this bitch, and no one even knows his name. It was only after I saw the letter and had someone read it that I realized it was a stick. After I returned to the capital, I asked him to
After some inquiries, Qiao Nan was not married because he had no land. The court...the court said that this man was not dead, but just lost. I am afraid he was not a deserter. There would be no deserters in the fucking border army. The court was full of nonsense, but he was so small.
There is no other way. Qiao Nan doesn't want to marry. She would rather be a prostitute than marry someone named Zhou from the same village. Even if she wants to marry, she has to marry a dog from the border army. The dog from the border army is a bit coward, but they are all men.
, a good man, a prostitute and a dog, no one despises the other, the young man said, okay, you three will grit your teeth and live, wait for me, wait until I find a dog who has land at home, redeem her body, and take their three mothers with them
To make a living, Qiao Niang said... She said to go and stop looking for a short-lived ghost. She doesn't want the court's pension, she just wants a living person, someone who can kill her behind, but... I can't find anyone who can.
All the troops who have come back alive must have land in their hands, and those who have land are all officials. Officials don't like her, young master, the young one...the young one can only lie to others."
Huang Laosi was furious, clenching his fists and digging his nails into his palms.
"Tell me, who is it? Who said that cowardly dog from the border army was a deserter? Who stole his pension? Tell me!"
Fu San lowered his head and spoke softly.
"Generals, military officers, courtiers, this is a hell of a world."
Chu Qing was still looking at the flower boats on the Liuhe River, but he glanced at the Coiling Dragon Jade Pendant around Huang Laosi's waist with his peripheral vision, and spoke lightly.
"No matter how good the king and his ministers are to the army, at least you should give some hope. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, false hope is better than despair. But you big men who hold high the temple, but you want a small nursing home.
Use lies to bring hope to those desperate people, Fourth, do you think so, right?"
Huang Laosi's face was as red as if blood was oozing out.
At this moment, he completely gave up the idea of revealing his identity to Chu Qing.
At this moment, Huang Laosi wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
At this moment, he clearly noticed the look of disdain passing through Chu Qing's eyes.
