A kid with a big fart, using a stuttering tongue, said such arrogant words. This scene was naturally quite funny to Zhou Cang and others.
The pro-soldiers immediately burst into laughter.
But when Yan Liang looked at the stuttering little boy in front of him, a strange color suddenly flashed in his eyes.
For a moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something.
The little boy was laughed at by everyone, and a look of anger suddenly appeared on his thin face, "You guys are laughing... you're laughing your ass off... this is me... my home... leave... just leave."
He raised his hand, intending to kick them out.
Zhou Cang's laughter turned into anger and he scolded: "You little stammer, you dare to chase me away. I think you deserve a beating."
The little boy seemed to be irritated by the "little stutter". Instead of showing any fear, he became furious and hit Zhou Cang with his little fist.
"You little stammerer, it's against you!"
Zhou Cang didn't expect that this kid would dare to take the initiative. He was funny and angry. Without saying anything, he swung his arm and slapped the little boy in the face.
But after hearing a "bang" sound, the little boy was slapped to the ground on the spot and ate a mouthful of dirt.
The pro-army troops on the left and right laughed heartily.
With Zhou Cang's martial arts skills and strength, if he was serious about it, it would be strange to kill the little boy with this slap, but he didn't bother to be serious with a child, so this slap was just a casual slap.
.
Even so, the little boy's face suddenly became swollen, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Yan Liang knew that Zhou Cang would not kill, so he did not say anything to stop him. Instead, he looked interested and wanted to see what the little boy's reaction would be next.
When the woman saw her son being beaten, she screamed in fright and immediately rushed towards him.
While she was helping her son, she shouted in panic: "Children are ignorant, please don't be angry. If you want to stay, just stay here."
"Mom...I'm fine...We're not afraid of them..."
The little boy, despite his stubborn words, struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared angrily at Zhou Cang, as if he still had the momentum to charge forward again.
Seeing how tough this little boy was, Yan Liang couldn't help but nodded slightly, secretly approving.
As for the other pro-soldiers, they couldn't laugh out loud at this time.
After all, they were all tough men, and what they admired the most in their lives was tough guys. Although the little stutter in front of them was thin and frail, he was so courageous, which made them look at him with admiration.
Zhou Cang also had a look of surprise on his face and sneered: "You're a boy, but you're still a tough guy. Come on if you dare, boy. Oh, I'd be surprised if I don't swell the other half of your face too."
The little boy was irritated again and rolled up his sleeves to fight. The woman was afraid that her son would be beaten, so she held on tightly.
"Mr. Zhongjing, do you think there is any hope of curing this little boy's stuttering?" Yan Liang asked.
Because many people in the counties were infected with wind and cold, and Zhang Zhongjing happened to be the best at treating typhoid fever, Yan Liang asked him to accompany him on this tour.
Zhang Zhongjing looked at the little boy carefully, stroked his beard and said: "Stuttering can also be divided into early childhood and late childhood. I think this child has a lot of energy, and his stuttering is not like early childhood. If he is corrected well, it may not be incurable."
"
"As long as it can be cured." Yan Liang nodded.
He immediately stepped forward and signaled Zhou Cang to step back. Then he turned his gaze to the little boy and asked with a smile: "Little brother, I think you are quite tough. Do you dare to sign up?"
The little boy shouted without hesitation: "If you... don't dare, I... my name is Deng Ai... do you dare... don't you dare to sign up?"
Deng Ai.
Sure enough it was him.
Deng Ai, a famous general in Wei Dynasty, was known as a genius who died young due to his ingenious schemes and changes. His battle to destroy Shu and his plan to sneak into Yinping were even more famous in history.
Such a famous general who fascinated everyone was standing in front of him now. Moreover, he was still young and was an uncut jade.
Yan Liang is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, so he naturally knows that Deng Ai was born in the Deng family of Xinye.
Yan Liang also remembered that Deng Ainai was a famous general in the late Three Kingdoms period. When Yan Liang first arrived in Jingzhou, he was still a little boy whose hair had not yet fully grown.
The reason why famous generals are famous generals is not only because of their extraordinary talents, but also because of the various experiences they have experienced in life.
Since Yan Liang changed the history of the Battle of Guandu and changed the ownership of Jingzhou, Deng Ai also lost the process needed to refine him into a famous general.
Without those experiences and experiences, Deng Ai would only be drowned in the vast sea.
For this reason, Yan Liang had no intention of accepting Deng Ai into his army, but he never thought that when he was patrolling here today, he would unexpectedly encounter Deng Ai.
Yan Liang didn't pay attention to it before, but later he saw that this little boy had a different temperament, and his mother was a widow. In addition, this place was very close to Xinye, also known as Dengjiacun, so Yan Liang wondered whether this little boy would
It's Deng Ai.
When I asked this question just now, I didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.
Deng Ai has such blood and courage at such a young age. This alone is enough to prove that his qualifications are extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang thought that since he had met him, he might as well take him into his lap. With his own training and training, plus Deng Ai's childhood identity, it would not take many years to add a young man to himself.
Good general.
Seeing that Yan Liang was thoughtful and smiling without saying a word, little Deng Ai shouted: "You... why are you laughing... why... don't you... dare to tell me... your name?"
Zhou Cang didn't know Deng Ai's identity, so when he saw that this little brat dared to be arrogant with his lord, he immediately became angry and planned to step forward and beat him.
However, Yan Liang waved his hand to stop Zhou Cang, and looked down at Deng Ai with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "I will not change my name when I am in office, and I will not change my surname when I sit down. This is the case for Yan Liang."
"Yan...liang..."
Deng Ai's eyes were rolling, but he hadn't turned around yet.
The woman's body suddenly trembled, and endless terror immediately appeared on her face. She was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "A civilian woman is blind, and she doesn't know that the state shepherd has arrived, and she is disrespectful.
I hope you will forgive me."
"The great arrival of Zhou Mu?" Surprise also flashed across Deng Ai's face.
The woman hurriedly pulled Deng Ai to his knees and said hurriedly: "This is our Yanzhou shepherd. How dare you be rude and why don't you quickly apologize to Da Ru?"
Only then did Deng Ai realize that his originally fearless aura was suppressed by Yan Liang's reputation, and his face suddenly showed panic. He didn't know what to say, so he had to be pulled away by his mother instinctively.
Come down.
"Ignorance is not a crime. You all should get up." Yan Liang leaned over slightly and raised his hand to help the mother and son up.
The woman stood up tremblingly, lowering her head and not daring to look at Yan Liang.
But Deng Ai swept Yan Liang around, his little face showed neither anger nor surprise, but a look of admiration.
Yan Liang then smiled and said: "I am not a monster with three heads and six arms, so there is no need to stare at me so strangely."
"I heard someone say that our Yanzhou Mu is a powerful tyrant who can fight without blinking an eye. I just want to see what the tycoon looks like."
Deng Ai was not afraid at all, and "spoke the truth" with a childish voice.
After Yan Liang heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
The woman was shocked and turned pale, and shouted at her son not to talk nonsense.
Yan Liang disagreed and said: "I am a hero. This guy dares to tell the truth. It's great. I like him very much."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange color appeared on her pretty face.
The word "hero" originally carries a bit of meaning. It is just said behind the back, and no one will understand and want to hear it.
And the state shepherd in front of me heard her son call him a "hero". Instead of being angry, he was so happy, as if he was proud of himself. How could this woman not be surprised?
"You don't know your husband's name yet?" Yan Liang asked.
The woman came back from her thoughts and hurriedly responded: "Mr. Deng, a civilian woman."
The Deng family is a common surname in Xinye, and people of the same surname are intermarried with each other. It is normal for Deng Ai's mother's surname to be Deng.
Yan Liang said, "Come in, Mr. Deng, I wonder if I can stay here for the night now?"
"Of course, of course."
It was the most glorious thing to have the chief minister of the state come to his house. It was too late for Deng to be happy, so why not not want to do so.
Immediately, he packed up a few empty rooms, giving Yan Liang the better one to live in, and leaving the rest to Zhou Cang and other people accompanying him.
Yan Liang sat down, drank a few sips of water to quench his thirst, and then called Deng's mother and son to him.
"This is Mr. Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor. I would like to ask him to take a look at Mr. Ling's stuttering disease. I wonder if that's okay," Yan Liang said.
Zhang Zhongjing is a famous doctor in Jingxiang. How could Deng not know about it? Now that he heard that Yan Liangjing asked such a famous doctor to treat his son, Deng was extremely grateful and thanked him profusely.
Zhang Zhongjing called Deng Ai aside and examined him carefully.
After a while, Zhang Zhongjing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This old man's stuttering was developed at an early age. Fortunately, he is still young and the root of the disease is not deep. If he corrects it, his stuttering will be cured within a year."
cure."
Deng Ai was ridiculed for his stuttering since he was a child. As a mother, Deng Ai was also deeply saddened by her son's plight. Now that she heard that her son's disease could be cured, she was so happy that she was ecstatic for a moment.
The little Deng Ai was so excited that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"Thank you Da Ri for your great kindness to my mother and son. It would be difficult for my mother and son to repay Da Ri's kindness even if they were working as cows or horses."
Feeling grateful, Deng took Deng Ai and kowtowed to Yan Liang repeatedly.
Yan Liang accepted their bows calmly and then helped his mother and son up. "My husband is very fond of this son, so there is something I want to ask my husband to agree to."
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Deng hurriedly said: "What do you want me to do? I am a commoner woman who is willing to die."
Yan Liang stroked Deng Ai's head and said with a smile: "My husband is exaggerating. I just want to adopt the young master as my adopted son. I don't know if my husband is willing."
Deng was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
The person standing in front of me was the majestic shepherd of Jingzhou. It was difficult for me to meet such a high-ranking official in my life. But now, when he entered the family, he had to recognize his own son as his adopted son.
In an instant, endless surprises flooded into her mind. Deng felt dizzy, staggered and fell down.
Yan Liang hurriedly put his arms around her waist, and the plump young woman's body fell into his arms.
