To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 39

  Behind the mountain trees not far away, a man in scarlet clothes silently watched all this with deep eyes.

  The guards on the side didn't dare to ask more questions, but they were full of doubts in their hearts.

  Master never liked to get involved with others, especially women, but every time he met this girl Luo, something was wrong.

  The first time was on the bustling streets of the capital, what skill did the master have, but his belt was torn off by a little girl who could only embroider her legs.

  At that time, he was watching from the sidelines. The moment Miss Luo pulled the master's belt, the master did not hide, so that he hesitated for a while whether to stop it, and then...it was too late.

  The second time was the roadside tea shed two days ago, the master was passing by, but walked past when he saw Miss Luo.

   This is the third time, the master has been staring at Miss Luo for a long time.

  The guard looked at the plain-clothed girl calmly and calmly threatening a group of bandits to hand over the gold and silver, and a bold guess arose in his heart: Could the master be Miss Xinyue Luo?

  Speaking of which, Miss Luo is very beautiful—impossible, the master is not such a superficial person!

  But why does the master keep peeping at the girl and not leave?

  The guard fell into deep doubts again.

  Luo Sheng looked coldly at a group of bandits who were angry, aggrieved, or distressed and left behind valuables on their bodies, then supported each other and retreated, and ordered Hongdou to count the harvest.

  Hongdou Guiguihao curled his lips: "It's really a bunch of poor ghosts, all of them are not worth a hundred taels of silver."

  Sheng Saburo clucked his tongue when he heard it.

  One hundred taels of silver is a lot, and his monthly payment is only five taels!

  Luo Sheng walked towards the guards of Sheng Mansion.

   There are a total of eight guards, standing or sitting at this time, more or less painted on their bodies.

   "How many were injured?" Luo Sheng asked.

Sheng Sanlang who came over pointed to the two sitting on the ground and said: "Two of them are seriously injured, and the other three are slightly injured and are not serious, and the remaining three are not injured. The blood on their bodies is from those bandits. .”

  Speaking of this, Sheng Sanlang was a little scared: "Fortunately, no one was killed. It will be hard to say if the fight continues."

   And there is such a result, thanks to Cousin Luo.

  Sheng Saburo suddenly blamed himself for his previous views on Luo Sheng.

   Cousin is so capable, what's wrong with pulling the man's belt.

   "Hongdou, divide the money. One person who is seriously injured is thirty taels, one person who is slightly injured is ten taels, and one person who is not injured is three taels."

  Hongdou was obviously used to spreading money, so he divided up the seized money neatly.

   The seriously injured guard who was allocated thirty taels of silver almost cried: "Thank you for the reward, Cousin."

  They sold their wealth and lives to the Sheng Mansion long ago, and it was their duty to **** the cousin girl to Beijing. They never expected to get such a large sum of money for being injured.

Luo Sheng said softly: "Although the injuries of both of you are under control for the time being, it is not suitable to travel further. How about this, you stay in the nearest town to recuperate, and two more people will take care of you, and you can go back to Jinsha directly after your injuries are healed. "

   "How can this work?" The two said in unison.

  Sheng Saburo glared at the two of them: "Don't talk so much nonsense, just listen to the cousin girl."

  The guards fell silent.

Sheng Sanlang showed a big smile to Luo Sheng: "Cousin, let's eat before we go on our way. Only when we are full can we have strength. Especially don't waste this big pot of bone soup. The injured person can drink it and drink it." Replenish the body."

  Luo Sheng nodded slightly.

  Sheng Sanlang heaved a sigh of relief, quickly picked up a beggar's elbow, and said distressedly: "This beggar's elbow was opened early, and I'm afraid it's cold."

   "My cousin eats the ones that haven't cracked the mud shell first." After a robbery, Luo Sheng lost his appetite, so he took a bowl of bone soup from the red bean and sipped it.

  The soup has been boiled to milky white, exuding bursts of aroma.

   Sheng Saburo eats a bite of elbow and drinks bone soup, eats a bite of elbow and drinks bone soup...

  The guard hiding in the dark swallowed, and finally couldn't help reminding the man in scarlet clothes beside him: "Master, should we continue on our way?"

   Out of sight is out of mind!

   "Look again."

   Guard: "..."

   After holding back for a while, the guard said again: "Master, why don't you go over and buy some food? Look, it's almost past time—"

  The man in scarlet clothes nodded slightly: "Go."

   The corner of the guard's mouth twitched.

   I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel that the master has been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

  The guard walked towards Sheng Saburo and the others.

  Sheng Sanlang was vigilant when he heard the commotion. Seeing that the person was somewhat familiar, he was wondering where he had seen him before.

   "You—" He didn't know how to greet him for a moment.

   King Kaiyang's name, even a person who has never left Jinsha, has heard of it.

   This is King Kaiyang, who made the people of Qi fearful. A great victory a year ago caused the fierce Qi army to retreat to the north of Alan Mountain, and the border of the northern land would be peaceful for at least a few years.

   According to rumors, King Kaiyang has a face like burning coals and is nine feet tall. Did Hong Dou really recognize the wrong person?

   "Excuse me, sir. We are passing by here and we are hungry. I wonder if we can buy some food to satisfy our hunger?"

  Sheng Saburo has a hearty personality, and he smiled when he heard the words: "Little brother is too polite, if you meet him, you will be destined. We still have a lot of barbecue and bone soup, just use it."

   Don't get entangled anymore, it's not that he tore off King Kaiyang's belt, and if the other party doesn't reveal his identity, he will pretend that he doesn't know anything.

  The guard looked at the beggar's elbow in Sheng Sanlang's hand: "I don't know this elbow—"

  Sheng Saburo hurriedly said: "This is made by my sister, so it is inconvenient to give it to strangers."

   Actually missed the beggar's elbow, which was made for him by his cousin, there were only four in total, and two were divided between Hongdou and the ugly mother-in-law.

   "Miss Luo and I shouldn't be considered strangers." The man in scarlet clothes came over and fixed his eyes on Luo Sheng's face, "I wonder if Miss Luo remembered?"

  Luo Sheng looked at Wei Han expressionlessly.

  She had already listed King Kaiyang as a first-class dangerous person in her heart, and she already knew his name from Hongdou.

  Wei Qiang, Wei Han, one killed her whole family, and the other appeared in the long-abandoned palace to attack Xiuyue, which was enough to make her extremely disgusted with the surname "Wei".

  I want to eat her elbow, just dream.

  Luo Sheng and Wei Han looked at each other, and their momentum did not lose the wind: "I do remember some past events, I don't know if I remember them wrongly, young master, do you really want me to tell them now?"

  She is the notorious girl Luo, and the other party is King Kaiyang, whom everyone admires in Dazhou. If you tell the story of Miss Luo tearing off the belt of King Kaiyang, it is self-evident who is more afraid of embarrassment.

   Wei Han was silent after hearing what Luo Sheng said.

  The guard on the side touched the saber at his waist, thinking that this Miss Luo is too shameless, bullying their master is thin-skinned, so he really wants to slash a few knives to vent his anger for the master.

  At this time, Wei Han opened his mouth, his tone was light: "I thought Miss Luo had torn off my belt, so she should be impressed enough with me."

   "Cough, cough—" Coughing sounded one after another, and several guards blushed from choking.

   This time, Luo Sheng was silent.
