National teacher help

In the early spring, the whole city of Jinyang has just melted ice and snow, a round of sun is shining in the sky, water is dripping from the eaves, and plum blossoms are all over the city, and the ten-mile long street is full of streams. , white walls and black tiles stretch as far as the eye can see, and the roofs of the whole city merge into a black sea, embracing the towering Tang Palace in the center of the city alone.

The crown in front of the palace is like a cloud, the sound of hawking in the two streets can be heard endlessly, and the sound of wind chimes can be heard in the breeze. Jinyang is the most prosperous place in Bingzhou.

Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and Lu Zhongming were the first time in their lives to enter such a big city, they were speechless for a while, Li Shimin's subordinates led their horses, and several of them walked along the long street at a leisurely pace.Luo Shixin straddled the horse and said with a smile, "Good place."

The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's livelihood is prosperous. It is indeed a good place. Qin Qiong nodded and said: "Compared with Daxing, don't make more concessions."

When the three country bumpkins entered the city, they couldn't help looking left and right. Li Shimin was not polite, and said with a smile: "The two generals have fought for the Sui Dynasty for many years. They have been traveling for a long time. If they have nothing important to do, they will take root in Jinyang. stop."

After all, Luo Shixin has a youthful temper. When he saw such a lively place, compared with the places he had traveled in his life, he couldn't help falling in love with it.He was full of pride in his heart, and when he wanted to say something, Qin Qiong shook his head slightly, indicating that he had something to say, and he would say it after everyone got to know each other well.

Luo Shixin was silent for a while, and he knew what Qin Qiong meant. The three of them came here for free, and it is impossible for the Li family to keep a group of diners who only eat and don't work. Even if they are willing to work hard, it depends on Li Yuan. I don't think highly of myself.

Over there, Lu Zhongming and Li Shimin's two riders walked side by side. Li Shimin leaned over a little bit, and Lu Zhongming immediately knew that he had something to say, and asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

Li Shimin said: "I am ashamed to say that Shimin should have gone to Dai County in person."

Lu Zhongming raised his hand and said, "Brother Shimin, since we are here this time, I entrust my two brothers to you." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and saw that Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were still joking with each other, and then looked seriously at Li Shimin's eyes.Knowing that we are both smart people, we don't even need to exchange pleasantries.

Li Shimin was slightly surprised at first, and then smiled knowingly.

Lu Zhongming said in a low voice: "Don't treat me as an outsider, and don't worry about my mood. What should be said is that in time, Brother Shimin will find out that Zhongming is really here to help you."

Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and said: "Brother Yu, please remember."

Lu Zhongming said: "Brother Shimin, please say something now. You are welcome."

Li Shimin stopped playing around with him, and explained: "Zhongming, after arriving at the palace, my father should ask you something."

Lu Zhongming hummed, knowing that Li Shimin was reminding him how to answer Li Yuan, and asked, "What is the unresolved knot in Tang Wang's heart?"

Li Shimin said: "That ballad is nothing more than that, I don't know if you know... my younger brother Xuanba died of illness a few years ago... and my mother left one after another, less than three months."

Lu Zhongming frowned slightly, and Li Shimin said: "Father has been thinking about it for a year. If you ask about searching for immortals, visiting souls, and evoking souls, I hope you will answer carefully."

Lu Zhongming pondered, nodded and said: "Life and death are determined, and what happens is up to God. Thank you Brother Shimin for reminding me."

Li Shimin waved his hand and explained: "I also want to share his worries."

While talking, he passed the main street, and Lu Zhongming smiled again: "Brother Shimin, why didn't you ask, what is the way back after death?"

Li Shimin said helplessly: "I'm too busy with the affairs of my life, so I don't have time to take care of my back, what should come will always come."

Lu Zhongming laughed, and asked again: "How many Buddhist temples in the city? How many Taoist temples?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and replied: "There are no Buddhist temples, only three Taoist temples. A few years ago, a monk came to Bianzhou and wanted to promote Buddhism in Bingzhou and pray for blessings and disaster relief for my four brothers. My father doesn't believe in Buddhism. The mage left. I guess when my mother was seriously ill, my father regretted it a lot, and he has been worried about it all these years. This is why I am so eager to invite you to Jinyang this time."

Lu Zhongming's heart moved: "What's the monk's name?"

Li Shimin replied: "It seems to be Master Shenxiu. At that time, I was still young... I didn't entertain guests, so I don't remember clearly."

Lu Zhongming asked again: "So Jinyang has not spread Buddhism so far?"

Li Shimin nodded and said nothing, and Lu Zhongming roughly understood that Buddhism had hit a snag with Li Yuan, and he was unable to promote Buddhism in Jinyang. It seems that the other party should give up on Bingzhou for the time being.

During the conversation, several people had arrived in front of the Jinyang Palace. The gate of the palace was wide open, and there was a royal dignified presence. Officers and soldiers were patrolling, Li Shimin dismounted, and the guards bowed to him one after another. Please come with me."

Li Shimin led them closer to the Jinyang Prince's Mansion. First there was a huge school yard. Luo Shixin smiled and said, "It's really impressive."

"The palace is defending against the Turks in Bingzhou." Li Shimin turned around and explained: "It is really too busy to raise thousands of soldiers, and there are people coming and going. It has gradually expanded over the years, and it has become what it is today. It's a joke."

Outside the school grounds, there were two teams of soldiers performing drills, both of which formed a phalanx of thousands of people. The four of them climbed up the hundred steps of white marble stairs, bypassed the main hall, and entered the corridor.Behind the corridor is the garden. There are countless horn bells hanging in the corridor. When the wind blows, all the bells ring together, which is very pleasant and refreshing.

The Jinyang Prince's Mansion is very large, divided into 37 pavilions and thirteen corridors, the main courtyard, the East Mansion, and the West Mansion.There is also a wide school field outside the hall.There are 37 pavilions inside, and each has its main building and side courtyard. The buildings are separated by rockery, gardens or corridors.Lu Zhongming walked all the way, and whenever he saw someone talking in the garden or Li Shimin coming, they all nodded and saluted him.

It seems that the Li family has quite a few guests, and they all live in the Jinyang mansion.

"It's too late to prepare the mansion for everyone." Li Shimin said: "During this period, please stay at home first, and you can come and go as you please."

Qin Qiong nodded slightly, and the three of them were wearing coarse robes, which were very out of place in this magnificent palace.Lu Zhongming was very frank. Although the Prince Jin Mansion was magnificent, it was not as grand as the Biyou Palace on Jinao Island.Along the way, Lu Zhongming was in a bad mood as soon as he walked around the two corridors. If he walked around later, he would get lost.While Li Shimin was walking, someone came over from the side, saluted him, and whispered something in his ear, Li Shimin nodded and sent the person away.

As soon as he entered the garden, another person came over to talk to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin nodded and whispered a few words.He led the three of them out of the corridor, and behind them was another training ground covering an area of ​​nearly ten acres. There were steps on the training ground, and there were several temple-like buildings along the steps.There is a plaque "Changxiangyuan" hanging outside.

Li Shimin turned back and said: "Although Changxiang Garden is a bit far from the East Mansion, it is closer to the main courtyard. There is an independent courtyard at the back. There is a pond in the courtyard, and it is quiet at night."

Lu Zhongming nodded and asked, "How big is Jinyang Mansion?"

"The main courtyard, the west mansion, and the east mansion." Li Shimin said: "My elder brother said that the three of you should live here, so that they can travel closer."

"Where do you live?" Qin Qiong asked.

"On the East Mansion." Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's a little far away."

Lu Zhongming nodded slightly, and did not make any comments. At that time, the three of them entered Changxiang Garden. Although it was not a particularly grand place, it was inferior to the big house with carved railings and cornices, but there are small halls in the small hall. special.

"Brother Shimin." Lu Zhongming said: "If you are busy, you can go ahead and don't have to accompany us."

Li Shimin pondered, nodded and said, "I'll come back later."

Li Shimin's complexion was a bit bad, several people guessed that he had something important to do, so they didn't ask any more questions, and entered Changxiang Garden, which was just a courtyard with eight wing rooms around it, it looked like a Taoist temple had been modified, A lot of wind bamboos are planted in the yard, rustling, quiet and elegant, but it has a special flavor.

Not long after, another servant brought the luggage that the three of them had unloaded outside the mansion, and someone came in outside the courtyard to obey her orders.

Before the maid could speak, she was sent away by Lu Zhongming again. Luo Shixin flicked the listening wind bottle in front of the outer porter's room with his fingers, and said casually, "Style."

"Money and wealth are foreign things." Lu Zhongming said: "They are all useless things, so they live here?"

Qin Qiong looked at the two of them and said, "I don't care, I'm afraid the three of us won't be able to live together forever."

Lu Zhongming sat down in front of the porch and said, "Give me a place to live and food to eat. I think you two will have to help the Li family fight the war."

"That's for sure." Qin Qiong leaned against a stone table and said with a smile: "Otherwise, do we still have to eat and die? Luo Cheng?"

"It's all here, so let's fight." Luo Shixin said casually, "We've been fighting for several years, what can we do without fighting? Besides, the little idiot has to..."

When Luo Shixin started, Lu Zhongming knew that Luo Shixin knew about it. Although he didn't mention it to these two good brothers, he had to be attached to the Li family in order to manage his own affairs. They all understood.

Lu Zhongming nodded, and Qin Qiong said again: "I guess they are short of manpower, and the battle outside for military training doesn't look good. If there are soldiers but no generals, Luo Cheng and I will definitely not be idle. It's not a big problem to make a living. I just don’t know how they treat the counselors.”

Lu Zhongming was confident and said, "Don't worry about me."

Halfway through the conversation, a family member came in with a wooden tray and said, "Three adults, this is prepared for you by the prince of Tang Dynasty."

The three of them stopped talking, Qin Qiong said: "Let's put it down, what does your family say?"

The family member said: "The prince invites the three adults to have dinner at Mingde Building in the evening."

"Understood." Luo Shixin sent the servant away again.

Lu Zhongming glanced at the things on the wooden tray and saw that they were all small gold ingots. He couldn't help but burst into tears for a moment, and the sadness came from it. If the young master's golden gourd was on his body, if 10 taels of gold were thrown out, everyone would be killed.

"Why are you smirking? Have you ever seen gold?" Luo Shixin asked inexplicably.

"I'm not laughing at anything." Lu Zhongming burst into tears.

There are also three sets of fine silk and satin robes in the wooden tray, as well as three waist plates with surnames engraved on them.It is expected that they will be used to enter and exit the palace.

"It was sent by Li Jiancheng." Lu Zhongming said, picking up his robe and gesturing on his body.

Luo Shidao: "It's not his brother who came to pick us up, it's quite a surprise."

Qin Qiong said casually: "I guess Li Jiancheng probably didn't take us seriously."

"En." Lu Zhongming nodded. It was Li Yuan's request that Li Jiancheng came to invite them. There are too many Taoist priests bluffing and deceiving, and Lu Zhongming is no exception.Li Jiancheng must have seen it strangely. He had never seen the folk legend about Lu Shenxian fighting the Turkic soldiers, so he listened to it as a joke.After all, there are endless thaumaturgies that have been passed down from word to mouth, and they are all talked about at the first touch. Li Jiancheng will not believe it all, and only treat him as a charlatan.

Although Qin Qiong Luo Shixin was a general of the Sui Dynasty and could lead troops, Li Jiancheng didn't know his strength, and it was not unusual for him not to take them too seriously.

Lu Zhongming laughed and said, "Li Shimin is a man of knowledge. His brother doesn't think much of us."

Luo Shixin said again: "Don't forget, his elder brother is the hereditary prince."

There was no reason or consequence for this sentence, but everyone knew it in their hearts. The breeze blew, and the courtyard was quiet, and the three of them fell into deep thought.

Lu Zhongming gradually deduced the Li family's attitude towards them. First of all, Li Jiancheng was almost completely unaware of their origins. He only knew that Qin and Luo had led soldiers.If you want to attract customers, it can only be regarded as a middle level.

And Li Shimin, through his channels, more or less knew the weight of the three people.Of course, maybe it was also because he wanted to attract people, so he never refused.If there is no accident, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuan will give them a chance to get to know each other in depth. Knowing their talents is the only way to know people well.

"You can also fight." Luo Shi said: "Just find a chance to show your hand in front of them."

"That's the worst policy." Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "I can handle it, trust me."

The discussion of the three of them was over here, and they each got up to tidy up their things. It was already afternoon when they entered the palace. Not long after, the maidservant came in with a snack when she saw that the three had finished talking. Lu Zhongming happened to be a little hungry, so she ate a snack and drank Tea.

Qin Qiong said again: "Then Heitan is also in the palace?"

"Maybe he's still sick." Lu Zhongming said, "I'll ask them again during dinner."

Today's dinner is very important and needs to be prepared early, so Lu Zhongming warned himself again and again not to eat too much dinner later, as if he was starving to death and made people look down upon him.Be sure to pay attention to the image.

However, when he arrived in Mingde Building in the evening, Lu Zhongming couldn't control it as soon as the fragrance came.

There were only Li Jiancheng and the three of them in the hall, each with a case.

When Li Jiancheng entered the table, he said politely: "My father is busy and can't come. I'm really sorry."

Several people nodded in understanding, Li Jiancheng asked again: "Mr. Lu is suitable for both meat and vegetables?"

"It's all right." Lu Zhongming said, "Our family doesn't fast."

Li Jiancheng nodded in understanding, and ordered people to serve the dishes. First, he served a turtle soup, a dish of osmanthus shrimp stuffed with salted egg yolk, and a dish of roasted pork with chestnuts. Lu Zhongming was a little out of sorts, and tried his best not to overeat.The maidservant brought up a steady stream of delicious food again, eating and eating and... many dishes were unrecognizable.

Li Jiancheng stopped eating when he moved his chopsticks. First, he asked about the life experiences of the three of them, and then had a polite conversation with Qin Qiong. When he mentioned Qin Qiong's late mother, Li Jiancheng felt rather sad. His mother had a new funeral. It stands to reason that Li Jiancheng still needs to keep his filial piety. After exchanging a few words, Lu Zhongming's family and Yan's family are safe and well. Looking at the appearance, the two fathers will not die if the world collapses, so they dare not express their opinions, lest they will be presumptuous like when they first met Qin Qiong.

Luo Shixin's parents also died since he was a child, so he naturally had more to say with Li Jiancheng.The three chatted for a while, and when they talked about the years of war in the Central Plains, Yang Guang dug canals, the people were in dire straits, and the people's wives and children were scattered, Li Jiancheng asked: "Ask General Qin and General Luo. The two came from the east. I don't know where the rebels are. How's the situation?"

This is to test them. Lu Zhongming knew that Qin Qiong must have made preparations, so he didn't worry too much, so he said to the maid: "Is there any more of the pipa shrimp just now? Give me some more."

The pipa shrimp is really delicious!It's even more delicious than the food on Jinao Island... Lu Zhongming said, no wonder everyone in the world wants to be an emperor. Once an emperor wants to eat all kinds of weird things, he won't be controlled...

Qin Qiong thought for a while and replied: "When I left the Sui Army, as far as Shubao knew, the rebel army was still led by three main forces. Li Mi from Wagang, Du Fuwei from Jianghuai, and Dou Jiande from Hebei."

Li Jiancheng nodded slightly, and the three of them knew in their hearts that Li Jiancheng knew better than anyone else what the situation outside was, so Qin Qiong didn't talk to him about the situation, but said: "Me and Luo Cheng, Lu..."

Lu Zhongming immediately stopped Qin Qiong with a look, Qin Qiong reacted very quickly, and said: "I led the army with Luo Cheng, fought against Wang Bo's main force, and also repelled Lu Mingyue. All rebels have the same disadvantages. Not good. And the hearts of the people are lax and morale is low."

Luo Shixin put down his chopsticks and said: "The soldiers are lacking in iron and steel equipment, and individual combat is completely vulnerable. Without any systematic training, they can only simply encircle and outflank, and horse warfare is completely blank. Occasionally, strange tricks appear. , For example, attacking with water and attacking with fire, but they don’t know how to cooperate with the right time and place, but rely on cleverness to come up with strategies.”

Li Jiancheng said: "What you said is true."

Qin Qiong also explained: "That's why Wang Bo was defeated, and so was Lu Mingyue. In the current battle situation, only Wagang and Hebei's two armies are likely to dominate. If you want to suppress the rebellion in the Central Plains, you must fight quickly. Because of time The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for officers and soldiers."

Luo Shixin nodded and said: "The longer the time drags on, the more they can free up their hands to fight. At the beginning, they are all recruits. If you fight once, the enemy's strength will increase by one point. The more you fight, the stronger the opponent will be. In the end, very dangerous."

Li Jiancheng didn't quite understand, and frowned slightly, Qin Qiong said again: "If you want to fight, you must try to pass several big battles, mobilize the whole army, and wipe out all the opponents."

Li Jiancheng said: "If a team is handed over to two people, how long will it take to bring out an army that can defeat the rebels?"

"Your Majesty, you didn't understand what we said." Luo Shixin shook his head, as if he didn't bother to answer this question. Li Jiancheng realized that he asked a stupid question, so he humbly said, "General, please teach me."

"It can't be estimated like this." Qin Qiong said: "It depends on talent, courage and determination when facing the enemy, and, no matter how many people are sent, as long as they are recruits, something will happen when they go into battle."

"The battlefield is the best classroom." Qin Qiong added, looking at Lu Zhongming, a little surprised that he didn't agree at this time.

Lu Zhongming didn't have time at all, so he just finished eating the rock candy elbow, and now he started to concentrate on dealing with a fat and tender scallion chicken.

"What's more, killing people also pay attention to talent." Luo Shixin took a sip of his wine and said lightly: "I don't know that my son has been on the battlefield, and he has personally killed people among thousands of armies, but as far as I am concerned, when I first joined the war, I lived Coming down depends on strength, you can't retreat, you can only go forward and kill. The same is true for soldiers, you can't give them any chance to retreat or get lucky."

"Gradually, as more and more people are killed, more and more comrades around me will die. Change wave after wave. Give me 10 people, ten waves of enemies, until the end, there are only 1000 people left. Luo Shi said: "It is enough. These 1000 people, with the most sophisticated weapons and best armor, are enough to defeat any rebels. Even if there are 5 people, I am not afraid. But if everyone thinks this If a battle is led by a good general and commanded by an expert, relying on formation and strategy, you can win the battle. Then there must be only one outcome, and you will die."

Qin Qiong nodded, and the hall was very quiet.

Li Jiancheng understood what Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong said, and asked again: "With the conditions of Bingzhou, is it suitable for long-term military training?"

"It can be anywhere." Qin Qiong said: "Drilling itself doesn't make much difference. When we were training soldiers, we only taught a little bit of fighting, and we spent most of our time learning on the battlefield. In our free time, we traveled across mountains and ridges, marching in a hurry. Advance, but the imperial court has a lot of regulations...the conditions are not enough. To apply what you have learned, to train soldiers is to learn, and to use it on the battlefield."

Luo Shidao: "I think Bingzhou is suitable."

Luo Shixin glanced at Qin Qiong, who was also thinking about this issue, knowing that he was referring to the Turkic people who were raging outside the state.

Luo Shixin was obviously very interested in the Modao cavalry that day, and asked, "How many years has it been since the Tiance Army was established?"

Li Jiancheng was obviously thinking about other things, and said absently, "The Tiance Army used to be a team guarding the Great Wall in Liangzhou."

Luo Shixin nodded, but Li Jiancheng said: "I understand what you two mean, but even if there are new recruits, it is impossible to train soldiers with Turks. Firstly, the casualties are too heavy, and secondly..."

"Well." Qin Qiong said: "Secondly, don't start a war rashly. It's okay to win, but I'm afraid that losing will endanger the people."

"The horse thieves outside the Great Wall are fine." Li Jiancheng said: "Before Li Shanfei was wiped out, he led his army to fight against the horse thieves and the Turks at the same time. After many years, their fighting strength was strong."

Luo Shixin said: "That's what you say, but you have to have at least one year of intensive training before you can take them out. Otherwise, they are just recruits. If I take people to call for battle against the Turks in the future, all my subordinates will run away. , I'm the only one left in front of a hundred thousand soldiers, but it's a joke."

After finishing speaking, several people laughed, but Li Jiancheng couldn't help but smile.

Lu Zhongming was completely unable to move after eating, and the maid brought tea to drink again. Li Jiancheng saw that the number of people was almost there, so he took a sip of tea and said, "Come to ask the two generals some other day, Mr. Lu..."

Li Jiancheng saw that Lu Zhongming only said three sentences from the beginning to the end, namely "It's so delicious", "Is there any more of this shrimp" and "Give me some more elbows".His mind is full of food, and his style of painting is completely different from that of Lu Zhongming that Li Jiancheng had seen before. I really don't know how to test his talents, but I can't find anything to ask. After thinking about it, I can only say: " Is today's dish...to your liking?"

"It's delicious." Lu Zhongming said, "It's even better than homemade ones. Zhongming doesn't know how to march and fight, so he doesn't dare to argue."

Li Jiancheng smiled, and said: "General Yuchi's matter, Jiancheng has already told his brother-in-law. General Yuchi's health is fine, but the task has not been completed, and the military discipline is as high as a mountain. I still have to take some responsibility. I think the punishment will not be heavy. Lu Please rest assured, sir."

"You can just call me Zhongming." Lu Zhongming said, "Yu Chigong also lives in the house?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "I think you will see him soon, it's getting late, Jiancheng has to go back..."

The three of them said it's okay, Qin Qiong said: "We should go back too."

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "After driving for several days, you can rest as you please."

The host and guest made some concessions to each other again. Li Jiancheng obviously had something important to do, so he apologized and left the banquet. Qin Qiong drank another glass of wine and got up to go back. See the bottom line.

"Let's go." Qin Qiong said: "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Lu Zhongming: "I ate too much..."

Luo Shixin: "..."

Qin Qiong: "..."

Qin Qiong said kindly: "Move around and get up slowly."

Lu Zhongming felt that everything he ate would come out of his throat, and he struggled to get up, Luo Shixin said again: "Carry you?"

Lu Zhongming quickly changed his expression and said: "No, no, you must not squeeze your stomach."

Lu Zhongming came out with the help of the wall. The air was very fresh. At night in Bingzhou, Saibei, the sky was full of stars, and the Milky Way was shining brightly. There were so many trees in Jinyang Mansion, accompanied by the tinkling of wind chimes under the eaves, it was really refreshing.

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were still discussing, and just now they had a conversation in front of Li Jiancheng, but Lu Zhongming stopped and walked, feeling that he was about to throw up, and could only lie on his side when he returned. After returning to ancient times, he ate so full for the first time.

Under the breeze, at the end of the corridor, the lights were dim.

The conversation between Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong stopped, and Lu Zhongming thought that something happened. Looking into the distance, he saw a tall figure standing there, holding a lantern in his hand, and the soft light reflected his face and body. .

That was Yuchi Gong.

Yu Chigong was wearing an indigo blue military robe, a sleeveless top, bare strong arms, broad shoulders and long hands, and straight eyebrows. He nodded slightly and smiled at them.

"Healed?" Qin Qiong asked casually.

Yuchi Gong nodded and said: "The kindness of saving life, Jingde will always remember it in his heart."

When Lu Zhongming saw Yu Chigong, he was very shocked. He didn't expect to meet him here, but he had a lot of thoughts at once, and he didn't know where to start.

"Let's chat." Qin Qiong said: "Let's go back first, let's go, Luo Cheng."

Qin Qiong walked away with Luo Shixin on his shoulders, and Luo Shixin turned around and smiled at Lu Zhongming.

"Waiting for a long time?" Lu Zhongming said.

Yu Chigong smiled and said: "It's not long, just arrived, Shimin asked me to take you back, in case you don't know the way."

"I've been waiting for a long time." Lu Zhongming said coldly, "How long have you lied to me? You can pretend too much, actor."

Yuchi Gong asked inexplicably, "The film king?"

Lu Zhongming was speechless, and said in a bad mood: "It's nothing, don't send it away, I'll go back by myself."

"Wait, Zhong Ming!"

Lu Zhongming wanted to bypass Yu Chigong, but Yu Chigong blocked his way and said: "I have a few words, I really want to tell you..."

Lu Zhongming was quiet for a while, and suddenly the qi in his chest and abdomen went retrograde, and he hiccupped.

"Hic."

Yuchi Gong: "..."

Lu Zhongming: "..."

"What else do you want to say... Hiccup." Lu Zhongming came again, thinking that he was too full, and was startled by Yu Chigong just now, and he can't go on now, damn it!

Yu Chigong held back a smile and asked, "Want some water? Come and sit with me?"

Lu Zhongming said with a cold face, "No... Hiccup, you liar... Hiccup."

Yuchi Gong: "..."

Lu Zhongming wanted to leave, but Yu Chigong refused to let him go, and said seriously: "It's my fault, I didn't tell you the truth, Jingde has official duties, so he dare not reveal his identity..."

The two were silent, and the wind chime rang softly.

"Hic."

When Lu Zhongming hiccuped, his shoulders couldn't help twitching, Yu Chigong couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to reach out to touch Lu Zhongming's back, but he avoided it.

"What else to say?" Lu Zhongming said, "Hi'er."

Lu Zhongming hiccupped one after another, and the atmosphere was gone. Yu Chigong suppressed a smile, trembling all over, and said, "I just came to you... to apologize."

Lu Zhongming twitched again, muffled the hiccups, and said coldly, "Got it."

Yu Chigong looked at Lu Zhongming, smiled at him, and said, "By the way, the prince also sent me something..."

Lu Zhongming gritted his teeth: "Hehe! The debt is cheap!"

Speaking of which, while hiccupping, Lu Zhongming left Yu Chigong without looking back, and then his pace became faster and faster, and finally, full of complex emotions such as anger and madness, he turned into a running alpaca and disappeared into the night the end.
