The first time he came to Jiangdong was with Cao Cao.

At that time, Cao Ying started his business in a rough road, and everything was not going well. He was so poor that he could only ask someone to change the cotton padded clothes of Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai, but in his heart, it was the best time.At that time, no one left him. Although Cao Cao was vicious, he still had the blood and romance of a young man, far from being suspicious, cold and alienated as Sikong in the future.At that time, every brother in Cao Ying doted on him very much, and devoted himself to teaching him what he knew.

At that time, everything has just begun, and the future can be expected.

After Zhang Heng was imprisoned, he was the one who delivered meals every day. When he was about to touch the shore, Zhang Heng seemed to sense a dangerous smell, so he jumped into the water and fled in the dark.Everyone thought Zhang Heng escaped by himself.Never thought that he let go on purpose.

Back then, he was so stupid and soft that the current self couldn't bear to look directly at him.

After listening to Zhang Heng's eloquent talk about the future in the small black room, he was very moved. After a meal delivery, he secretly untied the binding rope, and then left quietly.

At that time, his short-sightedness was partly due to his admiration for Zhang Heng, and partly due to his soft heart.Perhaps until now Cao Cao didn't know that Ruan Qing was so soft-hearted that he felt pity for a bandit who had delivered several meals.

Ruan Qing closed the door and walked to the center of the empty hall. Under the bright lights, she said calmly, "Long time no see."

"Why aren't you excited to see an acquaintance?" Zhang Heng walked over with big strides, while talking, he looked at the scabbard in his hand, his eyes froze when he was about to approach, but seeing a flash of cold light, the long sword stopped Ruan Qing's neck.

Seeing Ruan Qing's calm look, he suddenly laughed, put the sword back into its sheath, held it with both hands, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, Ruan Xiaolang's demeanor is even more prevalent."

"I don't have any charm at all." Ruan Qing also smiled lightly, took her sword with both hands, and said politely, "Brother Zhang has achieved fame."

Zhang Heng waved his hand, "Why haven't you seen each other for so many years, you have become as hypocritical as them."

"That's because elder brother has this ability, otherwise how can younger brother flatter you?"

"I love what you say." Zhang Heng laughed twice, greeted him and sat down, and then shouted to the outside of the hall, "Hurry up and bring the wine and meat, today I will not get drunk with my benefactor."

"Brother." Ruan Qing held Zhang Heng's arm and asked, "Where is the young man who came with me?"

Zhang Heng was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Ruan Qing to think of this person, so he said, "I knew it was a benefactor when I saw this sword, I guessed that the young man was with the benefactor, after speaking, someone took him down to rest. "

Seeing Zhang Heng stop, Ruan Qing asked again, "And then?"

"Then?" Zhang Heng stared at Ruan Qing for two seconds before realizing, "Oh, that boy asked you too, I just said that he was taken down to rest, and I will let you two get together soon."

"Brother." Ruan Qing said, "I want to meet my companion first, and then how about drinking three hundred cups with brother?"

Zhang Heng's gaze instantly became unfathomable, and he said as if pointing, "Must we see you now?"

"Must see you now."

Zhang Heng asked again, "Can't wait for a moment?"

Ruan Qing nodded and said seriously, "I can't wait for a moment."

For some reason, Zhang Heng's eyes became brighter at this moment, and his expression was a little more sincere than before. He patted Ruan Qing on the shoulder like two good brothers, and laughed, "Brother, I really didn't expect ...It turns out that they are all of the same kind, alas, I won’t say much, you will see that young man soon, I will set up a banquet and wait for you.”

Ruan Qing suddenly felt that he seemed to know what Zhang Heng was laughing at, and was lazy to explain, and even felt that it would be good to make mistakes, so she said, "I'll be back soon."

"No hurry, no hurry!" Zhang Heng stretched out his hand to interrupt Ruan Qing's incorrect thoughts, "We're not in a hurry, brother, finish talking with that kid first."

As he said that, he couldn't help but look at Ruan Qing again, "Oh, you haven't changed much these years, and you stand with that kid." He gave a thumbs up, "You are very good, you are very good."

He was led to the room where Sun Quan was, and when he entered the door, he saw that the man was fidgeting.

Seeing Ruan Qing's eyes light up, Sun Quan couldn't hide the joy on his face. He rushed forward, but restrained himself from embracing Ruan Qing, and reduced his thousand words to one sentence, "How are you, sir?"

"Okay." Ruan Qing looked up at the young man who was much taller than him, and smiled gently, "There is a miracle doctor in this village. After taking the medicine, he sweated, and now he doesn't have any fever at all. The shoulder injury After changing his medicine, it didn't hurt so much."

"That's good." Sun Quan's relaxation at this moment is not like acting.

"Sir." Sun Quan said something, seeing Ruan Qing staring at him intently, he swallowed unconsciously, squeezed his sweaty palms, put them lightly on Ruan Qing's shoulders, and said, "We may have to wait for a few days to leave."

"Can you tell me what you and Zhang Heng talked about?"

Sun Quan didn't hold back, and told Ruan Qing everything.Ruan Qing frowned slightly, and analyzed, "So the young master wants to gather this cottage, put the people in Linhai, and put the strong men in the army?"

"Yes." Sun Quan admitted.

Ruan Qing frowned even tighter.Despite the many difficulties, if this method is really implemented, it will be easy for the exiles to work as farmers, and they will be easily satisfied with land and food, but these soldiers are all bandits. Although they have received some training, their temperament and temper are still difficult to manage.And how to deal with Zhang Heng, who is the lord of a village?If he is here, how can these recruiters be willing to listen to others?If it is still managed by Zhang Heng, he is afraid that the soldiers will be self-respecting and will not be controlled, and the dilemma will be even more difficult.

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic Ruan Qing's mind became, and he had no clue at all. He felt that this matter was simply a big project that could not be completed, but when he saw Sun Quan's young face, those scruples swallowed back into his mouth.

His biggest shortcoming is indecision. The reason is that he thinks too much but has too few solutions, and in the end he can only cringe.But Sun Quan is only 20 years old this year, he can't put the shackles in his heart on this young man.

Maybe the Sun Quan he was thinking about already had an idea, or maybe he didn't, it didn't matter to him, as long as he could be by his side.Sun Quan is only 20 years old, just an adult, this age allows him to make mistakes, because this itself is a season of growth.

In history, Sun Quan was in charge of the seal. Once he shouldered heavy responsibilities, he was forced to grow up. After eight years of hard work, there was the Battle of Chibi.

Now that Sun Ce is still there, he does not need to shoulder the responsibility of being the eldest son. He can grow up slowly, do what he likes, and follow the life path he yearns for.

Ruan Qing thought that he would stay by this young son's side, accompany him to mature step by step, and make up for the time that he had ignored and missed.

He asked about Linhai's current situation, and explained his relationship with Zhang Heng. When he came to Yangzhou with Cao Cao, he said that he came with his uncle to recruit soldiers for Cao Gong. He explained why he was so familiar with travel. It was originally honed with adults.

After explaining the matter, Ruan Qing wanted to see Zhang Heng again, Sun Quan was still worried, but he had no choice but to be comforted by Ruan Qing's kind words, exchanged ideas about the future, and then they separated.

After returning to the palace, she was ready to stop, Ruan Qing was injured and should not drink, but because of Linhai, she had to bite the bullet and swallow it down.

It was the first time he drank so much yellow soup.When he was a child, he couldn't drink well, but he still had to risk being fined for copying books, and he had to take a few sips from Xi Zhicai. Now that he can drink well, he no longer loves this drunken thing, but no one bans him anymore.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ruan Qing saw that Zhang Heng was in high spirits, so she said, "Brother is now sitting on Wanshan Mountain, with elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, and the rule is stable. How can you think about where the chess game will be in the future?"

Zhang Heng had a drink break, although he was drunk, but his mind was still sober, he said, "What else can I do, naturally take a step and see."

Ruan Qing didn't believe Zhang Heng's words, and felt that the current situation in the first village was not like what she wanted to do step by step.If it's really that easy, then Cao Cao and Sun Ce can just go by feeling, why recruit talents?

But what he didn't know was that this cottage was really built by Zhang Heng who went to build a hilltop when he was happy, and built it with this playful idea.This place is remote, there are very few people who study, and there are even fewer bandits with insights. Mountain kings like Zhang Heng, who have been bandits in prosperous places and have seen the world, are rare. They took advantage of this advantage to save such a foundation.

Ruan Qing said, "The elder brother knows that one person entered the government files as a bandit, and he intends to implicate the whole family."

Zhang Heng sneered, "I have lost my parents since I was a child, and I never know what family is."

"Then brother doesn't think about future generations?"

Zhang Heng took a sip of his wine and shook his head, "Brother, I don't think I will have any children or grandchildren in this life, so it might be okay to adopt one or two."

Ruan Qing froze for a moment, forgot what she was going to say, and asked the question that she had been confused all along, "In my brother's heart, is being with the person you like more important than leaving an heir?"

"Naturally." Zhang Heng said categorically, "If two people who like each other get together and separate because they can't leave any children, then it's not true love."

"You can't say that." Ruan Qing said, "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest thing is to have no descendants, and people can't always live for themselves."

"This is the pedantry of you scholars." Zhang Heng said, "In life, the grass grows in the autumn. Now happiness is now, so why worry about his future. Besides, my mother who died early said, 'When you are born, your life is your own. Whether it is poor or rich, whether it is sweet or bitter, it is all earned by oneself.'

You say to live for others, let me ask you, if you still have 100 years to live, will others help you or you will live this time?You live for others, no one else will tell you, even if your parents have promised you a big fortune, don't you want to share half of it with your brothers and sisters in the end?So your parents are not just for you.

Hey, it's said that people can't just live for themselves, it looks so sensible and selfless, but it's actually an excuse you scholars make for yourself because you are cowardly and helpless. "

Ruan Qing was shocked by Zhang Heng's remarks. He didn't expect that such a reckless guy who had also been on the battlefield and killed people was more free and easy than him, a Taoist priest who had read many Taoist classics.

"Then..." Ruan Qing seemed to be bewitched, he swallowed, and unconsciously became nervous, "Then what if you have an heir with someone else first and then get together? This is also considered a balance."

"Brother." Zhang Heng shook his head regretfully, "You are talking about the cheapest liking. For example, if you raise a bird, and later you have a companion, the bird still likes to cling to you, because it It treats you as the master and not the daughter-in-law. You raise it to relieve boredom, and it depends on you to survive, and it just takes what it needs.

If the bird is really jealous of your daughter-in-law and pecks her when it sees it, can you divorce your daughter-in-law?Certainly not, this bird is just a plaything in your eyes, how did you get to the point of divorcing your wife for it?

But if two people really love each other, there is nothing else in their eyes except each other.You have to have children with other people first. Just thinking about kissing someone other than your sweetheart is disgusting, and what a mess.The human heart is the size of a fist, how can it be divided among many people. "

Ruan Qing held the wine bowl in both hands, her fingertips were white, her white teeth bit her lower lip, her face was ugly and frightening, her eyes were dim, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhang Heng saw that Ruan Qing was in a daze, so he didn't bother, he just smiled and drank a cup of wine as water.

After a long time, Ruan Qing said softly, "Brother said this because he has no parents and brothers, and he has no scruples. Then brother, you might as well think about these brothers and their families around you. Do you want to be like this for the rest of your life? Their descendants also bear the reputation of a bandit. In the future, there is a sentence written by a historian, bandits near the sea. Later generations cast aside.

Although the village is good now, as the leader of the village, my elder brother bears the burden of everyone's future, so I have to plan. "

Zhang Heng's face turned cold, and he said, "I know what brother wants to say. The scholar who said so last time was thrown into the cemetery in the back mountain by me. His flesh was pecked by eagles and his bones were picked up by wild dogs. Go back. After all, you saved my life, I am a person who will repay my kindness, if you beat me again with this long sword in your hand, I will promise you anything."

"it is good."

Ruan Qing wanted to get up when she heard this, but Zhang Heng raised her hand to stop her, "I am not a person who takes advantage of others' dangers. If you are injured, you should... cultivate for seven days. After seven days, you and I will fight on the top of the mountain. If you lose ...No one is allowed out of the cottage, but for the sake of your brother Uncle Zhao, I will let you go and stay as you please."

"You already knew." Ruan Qing frowned slightly, her eyes were unconsciously cold.

"Haha." Zhang Heng laughed roughly, "Uncle Zhao said you asked about the cottage, so I guessed that you would come to lobby. I thought that for the sake of saving my life, I would not kill you, nor If I reject you, just sit here, as long as you convince me, you can follow your wish, who would have thought that you would be moved by what I said."

Ruan Qing sighed inwardly after hearing this, it seems that he still needs to practice his rhetoric, and he can fool anyone who has no idea, but he won't be able to persuade anyone who has an idea.

But thinking about what Zhang Heng promised, he became cheerful again.In seven days, with Hua Tuo around, the wound should be almost healed. Zhang Heng never beat him a few years ago, even if Zhang Heng has improved his martial arts over the years, his life is not in vain.Thinking about it, the odds of winning should be above the seventh or eighth floor.

Thinking about it this way, he wished he could run to Sun Quan immediately to tell the good news.

The author has something to say:

So, Cao Baba raised Ruan Qing again, and having so many wives and concubines has always been Ruan Qing's heart disease.It is impossible for Ruan Qing to not care about this matter if he likes Cao Baba.He didn't express it before because he didn't want to embarrass Cao Baba, and he also knew that he would only increase his disgust if he raised it, and it would have no real effect, and Ruan Qing was very afraid that Cao Baba would hate him.

After listening to Zhang Heng's words, Ruan Qing didn't completely let go of Cao Baba, it could only be said that she was thinking about it
