"If it’s noisy, it’s noisy. I won’t abuse the old people when I have new people, but I can’t let my wife bully my concubine. If she has to, I’ll live in separate houses."
Ning Zhong murmured, "Living in separate houses? Would I have agreed if my senior brother had said the same thing? When I lost my virginity, I cried and asked my senior brother to give me an explanation, but I didn’t think about being married to Sister Han. At most, I thought about giving her a concubine status. Now I think about pushing Sister Han’s mountain. Although I didn’t do it myself, what’s the difference? "
Zheng Guobao knew that she still had a hard time holding her slender waist and hands. Ning Zhongze realized that when she hit her hand, she didn’t know when it was bad. Zheng Guobao received her strength and soft armor was so unhurt. When she was distracted, Zheng Guobao said in a timely manner, "Look, this is the reaction. You don’t want to hit me if you want to. If I learn the sword, I will tell Ningjie that I am willing to give you an imperial mandate. Will you kill Yue Xiong?" Will you promise to go to bliss with me in the spring breeze? "
See NingZhongZe silence Zheng Guobao added, "you won’t but YueXiong nature? The fact that you lost your virginity was that he didn’t calculate love. At that time, Huashan was in a critical situation, and he probably couldn’t do anything about it. But didn’t it ever occur to him that there was a big wife in his family and you couldn’t be a small one, no matter how his sister was always the victim and he took away her innocence? Moreover, Han Zhongxiu’s ambition to be bigger is too high. Brother Yue can divorce his wife for a reason. He is so clever that he can definitely find a way to kill people less than him. This shows that if their two husband and wife sisters always have various Huashan factions in their hearts, how can you bring them? "
Chapter one hundred and forty-three Rebirth (5)
After saying this, Ning Zhongze gradually leaned into Zheng Guobao’s arms and tilted his head on his shoulder. "Brother Guobao, thank you for agreeing to go with you. I’m ready to dedicate myself to you. I just want to get drunk, and then when the sun comes out, I’ll jump into the fairy palm peak, what Huashan Sect is, and I don’t care when I walk in the rivers and lakes. I heard people talk about Huguang Women’s Gate, Lingnan Baihua Palace and Phoenix Gate. The charming women Clubs in Wuhu Gate can stand on the Jianghu because there are men behind them. The Baihua Palace has been contracted by the local tycoon Wan Li from the head to the younger brother. Only in this way can Lingnan stand on the ground. At that time, I looked down on them from my heart, but today I finally understand them. What can I do? I used to have a father to protect my master and my brother, and I didn’t know that people were suffering. In the future, I will be a bit more philistine. "
Zheng Guobao realized that Ning Zhongze wore this suit and died. Since he couldn’t find a husband, he would die with a promise. He couldn’t help dying in his heart. If he just insisted on having sex, he would be a fragrant jade meteorite at dawn, so he didn’t dare to move again. It was reassuring to be a good human cushion. Moonlight felt that relying on it was not worse than the whole soul.
The two of them just leaned on one place until the sky was bright, the sun was shining and the sun was shining, and Ning Zhong said, "It’s beautiful."
Zheng Guobao said, "My sister is the most beautiful in my eyes." He bowed his head and was about to kiss, but Ning Zhongze tapped him with an iron sword. "Don’t touch and watch."
See Ningzhong broke free from Zheng Guobao’s arms, got up and pinched a sword, and then put all the swordsmanship to use. This swordsmanship is not a secret sword of five mountains, but it is not a set of actual combat swordsmanship, but the pursuit of Huashan School to recruit students and watch swordsmanship all the way is beautiful and has no actual effect.
When they saw this swordsmanship, they thought that they could defeat the cauliflower thief by this swordsmanship in the future, and they could be handsome in front of the lady of the boudoir, so they enthusiastically paid for their studies and knew that it was absolutely impossible to get a refund later.
Ning Zhongze’s swordsmanship was the first set of swordsmanship taught by a senior professor at the beginning. At this time, it was put to good use, and the fairy palm could not help but recall that every sword stabbed in the past seemed to say goodbye to Yue Buqun in my mind until Ning Zhongze danced swordsmanship to the end, and the iron sword in his hand flew off the cliff without trace.
When Zheng Guobao saw that she had lost her sword, she had to follow her and shouted, "Sister Ning can’t!" Fly to stay but see Ningzhong turned around with a smiling face. There is nothing to die of despair. "National treasure brothers, do you have this impatient time?" Are you afraid I won’t take it easy? When you lied to me in Xi ‘an, it’s my turn to lie to you today. "
"My good sister, you come to our mountain first and have something to say."
Ning Zhongze walked back to Zheng Guobao in a few steps and was quite proud. "I didn’t expect that the national treasure brothers could be so anxious. I still don’t worry about anything. Don’t worry, I’m not so hard. Just as you said, those boys still have to rely on me. What should they do if I die? I threw my sword away because I wanted to put an end to the past. Since then, the two girls have been living with the sword falling off the cliff, which is a new principle in peace. "
Zheng Guobao clapped his hands. "If one is alive, it is a new Ningzhong. Congratulations to Sister Ningjie for her victory over demons and her rebirth. Come, it’s getting late. Let’s go to the mountain."
I don’t need support when I’m in the mountains, but Ning Zhongze is still Zheng Guobao holding his hand and walking back and forth. Ning Zhongze said, "Thank you, brother Guobao. I’ve seen many times the next day, and this is the most beautiful time."
"No, my sister didn’t go back to that year. It was better than that year."
"Brother Guobao, your mind is all white, but I can say I’m sorry that I can’t promise you for the time being. Although I know that it may be arranged by my senior brother, I haven’t loved you yet. If you are willing to follow me, I will give it to me in a few years. When I want to see Yue Buqun again, I will make it clear that I want to ask questions, and I will calm you down. If you still love me this old woman and I love you in the future, you will be ruined and your mind will be fulfilled. If you can’t wait, I can serve you, but you and I will have a deal
Zheng Guobao nodded, "Ning Jie, you trust me. You can wait for any transaction in a few years. Then don’t forget the debt. It’s not a debt, but I’m willing to pay you. You don’t have to keep it in mind."
When we arrived at Zhengqi Hall Ningzhong, we went to arrange sect affairs. Zheng Guobao stayed up all night and went back to his room to make up his sleep. The guard at the door was dressed in brocade. When my uncle came back, they all smiled strangely and wrote a sentence of "Congratulations to my uncle". As a result, I didn’t get the reward, but one person got punched.
Last night, Ningzhong talked all night, but he was really tired. When he came back to the house, he wanted to sleep quickly. But just before he went to bed, he saw a woman sitting on the bedside looking at him timidly.
Two people four eyes are relatively "ah" outside a jinyifang to break in was finally Zheng Guobao drink and ordered no matter what you hear, don’t come in and then asked "Lingzhu niece? Why are you in my room? "
Yue Lingzhu finally made up her mind to devote herself to seeing the cold last night, but she successfully touched it. She is a big girl, and she will serve others when she thinks about her innocence. Although she is a sect, it is difficult to be a little nervous in her heart.
The poor girl turned her back in the middle of the night, and my uncle didn’t come back. When she wanted to leave, she found that the security guards patrolled everywhere in the doors and windows. Don’t say that if she left, she should be careful not to be found in her room. She had no experience in dealing with this situation, and she was scared to death. She always wondered how she would see Lingshan if someone saw her, and how she would see her mother curled up in the window and lay still until dawn, even her legs were sore.
However, it’s not too late to keep watch in the daytime. When she hears the door ring, she will know that it’s my uncle who came back and wanted to find a place to hide, but she didn’t know where to hide. She was hesitating to time, so my uncle came to pity her face. This Lingzhu girl can also be regarded as a Jianghu chivalrous woman, but at this time, there is no difference between ordinary women and I don’t know how to explain it.
Very not easy to understand her purpose such as Zheng Guobao some in distress situation, she took a head shot "you ah you ah I you teacher niang things you don’t blindly mixed up, don’t I look like those" dirty "old accountants forced you huashan pie hanging into a well to pay debts? It’s true that none of your brothers has enough mind’s eye. "
Yue Lingzhu was so ashamed that she couldn’t even look at her uncle’s boots. "Uncle, I’m stupid, but I’m telling the truth. I’m a girl who can serve you and give you a baby. By the way, I can also serve you with martial arts. You can buy me. Don’t you want to rest? Why don’t I serve my uncle now? I don’t want money, or I can wait on you once. How much do you pay?"
Zheng Guobao shook his head, first dismissed the patrol jinyi outside, and then said to Yue Lingzhu, "Hurry away, or someone will see you later, and you won’t be able to tell clearly. My uncle needs to sleep for a while now, so don’t make trouble or he will be fined!"
Looking at Yue Lingzhu, I am both glad and disappointed to walk out of the house. Zheng Guobao’s secret passage is also a pity. If I get your hands on Ning Jie, it will be farther and farther away from me. So I can keep you first, but I have to prevent others from eating you. In the meantime, I can secretly bring out some people who are willing to let her go through fire and water. I am willing to give up my Huashan Foundation, which is to look at the five mountains and have to say that it is one of the best.
Chapter one hundred and forty-four The fugitive in the rain
Zheng Guobao didn’t get up until noon, and when dinner was over, Ningzhong put a pot of steaming dumplings. "I won’t pack them for you after brother Guobao finished eating the dumplings this time. I have to catch people to help, such as putting out the fire. What’s the cost if you don’t go to Henan?" Zheng Guobao carefully studied whether Ning Zhongze was wearing a long skirt or her own Xi ‘an government to help her buy a waist with it. It was that streamer sword that nodded with great joy in my heart. "Everything is heard by my sister who is a Huashan Sect, and I have to resettle or it will be bad." The Huashan Sect sold their lives to Zheng Guobao and naturally listened to Zheng Guobao’s orders except Ling Huchong and Lu Dayou. Liang Fa three people keep the mountain to go and are responsible for thinking about the cliff development project. Others have been sent to the mountain or to Zheng Ji Salt Line Nursing Home or to those granges to be a small steward. All of them have been given to two women who were born in Yue Lingshan and Qu Fei Yan. Zheng Guobao sent them to the mine tax supervision government to accompany Xu Yun Qu Fei Yan. as one pleases was anxious. "I don’t want to separate from my brother-in-law. Where will I go? I will go to the mine tax supervision government. Don’t kiss me with that evil woman. My face is full of saliva." Brother-in-law’s trip to Henan this time is a dangerous errand, and then it’s even more dangerous to meet the old Shen Ge in Beijing. If everything is all right with me, it’s not convenient to take you with me. When brother-in-law has finished dealing with things over there, he will send someone to take you all over. She is the safest but I don’t trust her elsewhere. "Ning Zhongze also knows that after Shen Ge’s old daughter went through the door, Yue Lingshan entered Zheng’s family affairs to formally handle the embarrassing status of Qu Fei Yan, which is even more inconvenient to bring into Beijing. Therefore, he also appealed to the little girl to nod, and four people, such as Liu Ling Zhongyue Lingzhu, followed Yue Lingshan into Xi ‘an to protect her and Qu Fei Yan ‘an. The other two people waited around Ning Zhongze until it was properly arranged. Zheng Guobao asked, "Ning Jie, are you still satisfied with this arrangement? In terms of wages, we can’t let Huashan Sect suffer. "Ning Zhongze said," We really need to talk about who made Huashan Sect owe such a big debt, and we can’t take money improperly as in the past. Let’s finalize the wages and let’s go as soon as possible. "Zheng Guobao found that Ningzhong seemed to have changed a lot since he came back from Xianzhang Peak. The whole person felt different and gentle. Kindness has been more capable and calculated. It seems that she is gradually changing from the role of mother to the role of the head. It is reassuring to give her the Huashan Sect. There is nothing to say that he even took over the mountain with Lan Gu’s daughter with a half-closed door. The other day, he did some Songshan Sect business and earned a lot of money. If it was not Ningzhong, the Huashan male brother would not dare to cross the cliff. I don’t know what to make it. Now various construction teams have gradually climbed the mountain. I started construction, and I don’t know where to find many handkerchief friends. Jin Lan sisters, although all of them look worried and their age is similar to Lan Gu’s, they are all semi-old Xu Niang, but dressing up beautifully and throwing an eye at those coolies can also make those bitter haha jump in their hearts and add justice. Therefore, the business is very hot. Zheng Guobao was furious. First, he sent the Cangtou army to fight in the past, and then he ordered people to build a simple hut in a remote place. It is stipulated that the business area here pays 500 yuan a day. If anyone dares to engage in commercial activities in non-business areas, the woman will be fined and one or two men will confiscate tools. This makes it even more obvious that the implementation of the peak sexually pale army has stopped this unhealthy trend, and Lan Gu has found a position. Those practitioners have to be managed by Lan Gu, and Lan Gu can pump 50 articles in 500 miles, which is also a joy to each other, patting his chest and ensuring that "the prince’s uncle is assured to come if it is not the middleman of the Wuyue Sword Sect, it will be difficult to ensure the peace of Huashan by waiting for heretics and evil spirits."Zheng Guobao left 20 cangtoujun and 10 security guards Huashan, and told them to rob Ningzhong once a big crisis was difficult to deal with. He could throw anything before he lit up Yu Ma Huashan and went to Henan to go to him. The number of this team was nearly 100, and they were all armed with fast guns and ammunition. Even if they met the main force of mutiny, they might not have no fighting power. Therefore, everyone did not worry about thinking about making a fortune when they got there. Riding a horse thinking about how to deal with the capital, Miss Shen has a dew marriage. She has a temperament. I know that if she is really a jealous woman, she will not know how much effort to curb her original chirp all the way, and she still feels a little headache. Now without this little girl, she feels a little lonely. She just wants to pinch her face and can’t find anyone around her. If she is provoked by Ningzhong, the rotor has nowhere to go out. He can’t help secretly regretting that she ate Yue Lingshan that night in the mountains. At this time, the sky is overcast with clouds. "Uncle Guo looks at the sky and even soon. Zheng Guobao will whip at one stroke. "Let’s go ahead. There’s nothing delicious in Weilin town just now. I really don’t want to go back and hear that the conditions in the front town are good. Let’s walk tight and I’ll ask the children to have a few bites."They should have urged the horse to hurry, but they didn’t go far. In the day, the rain had already fallen. It was thundering and raining cats and dogs. At this time, even if they wanted to drive back, they had to stop and go forward in the rain. Several royal guards took hemp fiber to wear by their uncle, and several people held umbrellas. Zheng Guobao waved his hand. "It’s nothing for you to take care of firearms and ammunition in this bird weather." In the rain, the speed naturally dropped greatly. At this time, everyone was beaten and suddenly came from the opposite side. People look at their bodies, but they have all practiced running in the rain, and the speed is still considerable, and they still have weapons in their hands. At this time, there are heavy clouds in the stormy weather, and there is no difference between day and night. People can also see the outline and can’t recognize the facial features. Those pale-headed troops are all capable of fighting the night, and they have come to make their own decisions. Unidentified people hurriedly even whistle and call the police. Sun is even afraid that assassins will come to assassinate him. Nowadays, it’s so heavy that muskets are not hard to fight. He ordered a "Meet the enemy! Those pale-headed troops reacted faster than the Royal Guards, and they had already killed each other. All of them were frontier guards who worked hard all the year round. Firearms in bad weather had little effect on them. The first man shouted, "My uncle, kill the former!"The steel knife has been drawn out to warn him that it’s a formality to urge the horse to kill people in the past. Those pedestrians ran faster when they saw the footsteps of the opposite cavalry, but they also shouted something in their mouths. But at this time, a flash flashed and then a heavy thunder sounded. Zheng Guobao didn’t hear a word from these people. When the bald troops let go of their horsepower and rushed towards several people, they shook their machetes in their hands. Several heads were cut off along the knife light, and the body inertia in their hands ran a few steps forward. "True his mother!" Do you know what they say? Kill it so soon. Besides, where can I find a place to make nitrate system in this weather? Fools are really fools. It’s the meritorious service to kill people when they get to the city. "Those who killed people, the pale-headed army roots, didn’t have this kind of consciousness to urge their horses to return, hold their heads up and ask Zheng Guobao for credit. When asked what they said, the men also looked at each other, but there was an ear that said," It seems to be a ghost? " Is there still water? I can’t hear clearly. "
Chapter one hundred and forty-five Wilderness Temple middleman
Look at these rammed goods. Zheng Guobao can’t wait to whip them a few times. It doesn’t mean that ghosts and gods don’t care. It doesn’t mean that others don’t care. In this thunder and lightning weather, several martial arts artists can’t help but rush and shout that there are ghosts. It’s those security guards who kill people without blinking an eye. At this time, they also feel creepy.
Another flash flashed across Sun Da’s eyes and saw a temple in the distance. "Let’s go to the temple in front and take shelter from the rain. The heavy rain broke my uncle."
Zheng Guobao saw that the temple was very strange. How many incense can there be in this roadside temple? Can we raise a temple? At the beginning, the people who built this temple didn’t know what they thought. Even if it was a great achievement, it would be good to build the city. However, at this time, it was too rainy to find a room to escape. When they nodded, they called Ma Rufei and went straight to the temple.
Through a flash of light, I vaguely recognized the inscription "Yaowang Temple", but when I saw that the temple gate was open, a pale-headed soldier took the horse and left just a few steps. I felt weak and looked down. "This dead man is a bit interesting."
I don’t know how much I’ve done to punish ghosts and gods. For them, it’s nonsense. The dead are more common. Even if you sleep next to the dead pile for a night, you won’t feel any pressure. It’s not easy to dig meat from the dead and eat it from their mouths.
Zheng Guobao walked a few steps in the past and saw a blood hole in the middle of the dead body dressed in coarse clothes and lying in the mud. It seemed that something had worn it in the past, and this person was injured and finally died. What the hell temple was it?
Others don’t believe in ghosts and gods, but their own safety is important. We must consider whether there is really any danger in this temple. Those pale-headed troops can’t help it. "There are so many of us, even some monsters, and our uncle has always punched it. Don’t worry about us going in to have a look. Besides, we are worried that this broken house is leak-proof. If there is no place to keep warm, the weather is not very comfortable."
A group of people went into the temple and came to the main hall. Many people in the Cangtou Army could see things even at night. At this time, it was better than the Royal Guards. They just wanted to find a clean place to shelter from the rain, but they heard a Cangtou Army saying, "Why are there so many dead people here?"
Zheng Guobao commanded "don’t move" to one side. Xin Liezhi lit up several bodies with fire. One person was holding a spear in his hand, but the spear was discounted from it, and a blood hole was found in his chest. Another man was holding a meteor hammer in his hand, but his face was beaten to pieces by the meteor hammer, and he was killed with his own weapon. Several others had weapons damaged and intact, and their deaths varied.
Near the door of the temple, one Adam’s apple was broken, and the other was actually torn into two pieces by life. It seems that someone lit a fire to warm the temple, and a dead body poured the fire directly. Judging from the temperature of the firewood, the killing was just over.
Rao is pale head army informed also tidy way "darling this is met what thing how so fierce? Look at this strength. Is this a person? Or did you meet any wild animals? If this beast hasn’t left the temple, everyone should be careful not to let it hurt the prince’s maternal uncle. "
Although Zheng Guobao doesn’t understand autopsy, he doesn’t look like a beast. It’s not too strange to say that Sun Da is superstitious and determined that these people have collided with ghosts and gods. This kind of bad luck came to the table and prostrated himself. "The King of Medicine, the Bodhisattva, the Great Mercy and the Compassion bless the younger brother and others for peace, and the temple will be rebuilt and the golden body will be molded again someday." Then he was pious and even kowtowed several times.
When he got up, it happened that there was a flash in the sky, but after listening to Sun Da’s exclamation, he retreated and reached out to copy the spear. "There are goblins!"
Everyone in his voice was taken aback. Zheng Guobao shouted, "What’s the panic?" Several hole lights lit up and flashed toward the table. A pale-headed army was the most daring to come to the table and study it for a moment and then laughed. "What? This is the goblin? If so, I’d like to meet a demon every day. "
Zheng Guobao held a lantern in the past and saw the position that belonged to the medicine king bodhisattva. Now there is no idol, but there is a white woman who fell to the throne. She wore a colored skirt and was soaked by the rain. The beauty of this woman’s figure is that she shows a pair of white six-inch feet, so she doesn’t touch the slightest dirt outside her skirt, which makes people jump.
A head of dark clouds spread like ink, blocking the face and not seeing the facial features, but the bare skin is fresh and tender, and the skin is bright and clean. This woman is not too old. Zheng Guobao even called the woman for a few times. He stretched out his hand and brushed away his hair. He saw this woman in her early twenties, with a face as bright and clean as porcelain eyebrows, a long nose and a small mouth. A pair of phoenix eyes are closed and handsome, and she is full of heroic spirit. It is a bit of a man.
Looking carefully, I saw that the woman had several bloodstains, and Zheng Guobao found out that she was still saved and quickly ordered a "save".
Xin Lie’s sharp-eyed treatment called "Wait a minute". He pointed his hand at the female hand and pointed at Zheng Guobao. Only then did he see that the female slender fingers were covered with blood, and there were several bloody handprints. I thought that after killing people, I wiped them with my clothes. These people were good at martial arts and occupied a large number of people, which also made her seriously injured. When she sat down at the table to find a way to treat them, she passed out because of her injuries.
Most of those who cried ghosts were dead people in this temple. Eleven pale-headed troops were killed in the temple. There were four heads in their hands, and fifteen riding horses were found outside. It seems that they escaped through the net. These people don’t know what the road is, carrying weapons in droves, holding no road guides, etc., and they are not officials.
Sun Avenue "It depends where most of these people are bandits or Henan mutineers?"
Guo-bao zheng life hand with those firewood fire to warm themselves and said, "have you ever seen mutinous soldiers with a meteor hammer? These people’s weapons are uneven in length. At first glance, it’s not the regular army, but the Jianghu bandits’ weapons are all stained with poison. What do you think of hidden weapons? It’s also like a killer. I’m afraid they are just going for Huashan Sect, but I don’t know how to be slaughtered by this girl. "
It’s not too far away from Huashan Mountain. There is indeed a high probability that a group of Jianghu villains will sneak into Huashan Mountain. It’s good to save people first if there is no mouth in the dead man’s mouth. The woman suffered several injuries and was poisoned by hidden weapons, so it’s not too difficult to save her because the poison is not a rare poison. Ordinary antidote can solve this woman’s physical quality or the poison has not eroded her heart.
Sun Da and others are worried that this woman, who doesn’t know whether she is an enemy or a friend, and has high martial arts skills, can kill her own gang, but it’s absolutely impossible for her to be unfavorable to her uncle after waking up. Although she is not afraid of losing by relying on many people, she is afraid that it is difficult to guard against an enemy’s back. If she really hurts her uncle, she should be like this.
Sun Da hesitated. "This little girl is a good girl. It seems that she has been practicing since she was a child. That leg has nothing to say. If you look at her, let’s tie her up and pick her tendons a few times so that she can’t hurt you. Otherwise, we dare not save her. Even if we suddenly hand you, we can’t save it even with a gun."
Zheng Guobao doesn’t care. "Let’s press so many people, too. Stop talking nonsense and start work quickly. When the rain stops, go to the front town and hire a carriage to buy some clothes. Hire a few women to help her change her clothes and even let them do it. This woman is not a stunt. She just asks what is the origin."
Chapter one hundred and forty-six Beauty fans
Wait until two days later, the female body toxin finally dispelled the clean people and woke up. Several women took the money from the Royal Guards to serve for fear that if anything happened to this young lady, she would suffer. When she woke up, she hurried over to congratulate her, but I didn’t know that the woman had changed her clothes into a red shirt and skirt, and her face was cold. She suddenly grabbed a woman and pushed her against the wall and asked coldly, "Who changed my clothes?" Say! " The old woman felt that the girl’s eyes had been stopped at the moment, and the cold light on her eyes covered her with a layer of ShaQi. Even ordinary people could feel the danger. If you want to make an unfavorable answer, you can’t get out of atrial fibrillation alive. "It’s our wives and young ladies who changed your clothes. We didn’t dare to move … you must forgive me." The woman listened to the old woman’s words, and her face relaxed and took two steps back to let go of her, but she planted back until she woke up for the second time to see one more. A handsome young man dressed as an official was about to get up, only to find that he had been tied up by more than a dozen thick ropes and chains. The handsome young man saw that she woke up with a smile. "Hello, girl, Zheng Mingqi is a national treasure, but Zheng Niangniang is my sister in Daxing County’s palace. Now I am officially worshiping the Royal Guards and making the director of Zhangbei Town to take care of the Yaowang Temple. I saw that the girl was seriously injured, so I saved you here. It is those women who take care of you and offend you. I also hope that the girl will check this rope for fear that you will hurt people." The woman studied Guo-Bao Zheng for a long time but listened to a few flips like a crossbow loosening the string. The thick rope that tied her was broken. She was surprised that her hands had been free. Guo-Bao Zheng hurried backwards, but the woman said"You’re not afraid that I won’t have the strength to break these three roots. I don’t like to talk with people tied up. If you don’t bully me, I won’t kill you." Her eyes are clear and sincere. Obviously, she’s not lying. She said while moving her wrist and frowned. "You let them untie me too tightly, and I promise not to kill anyone." This girl’s beautiful frown contains anger and has her own amorous feelings. Although Zheng Guobao thinks this requirement is not reliable, she somehow can’t give birth to the idea of disobeying her. "What if they let you go The woman was impatient with a wave of her hand. "I won’t kill anyone if you don’t hit me. My mother said that whoever hits me will die, but you didn’t want to kill me and didn’t attack me when I was in a coma. Then you won’t die. Since you don’t want to kill me, what do you do to untie me quickly? It’s too uncomfortable." She said that innocence is a newcomer to the Jianghu, and a young Xia woman may not be as simple as her, but seeing her expression is serious and obviously not a joke. Zheng Guobao secretly thought, Is this a woman who is inexperienced in the mountains and But it’s not right. Her clothes are not homemade in the mountains, which is hard to explain. He laughed. "It’s outrageous to let them untie the rope for a while. How can they be tied so tightly?" That girl, what’s your last name? What shall we call you? Did you kill those bad people in Yaowang Temple? " He’s conceited, but he’s also a gangster. If this woman is really from Shan Ye and has never seen the world, isn’t it easy to cheat?But when the woman saw that he refused to untie the rope, she snorted her head and stopped looking at him. No matter how big Zheng Guobao was, she couldn’t take this kind of desperate treatment. It seems that she couldn’t untie the rope. She wouldn’t talk to herself. God knows how much potential this woman has. If she breaks the rope herself, it will be difficult to meet each other. So he told one or more women to come in and take a knife to cut the rope and she untied the chain. The woman got up and moved her limbs and said, "Your hands are too bad, and my hands and feet are hurting. You are a good man. They are not good people. Zheng Guobao was surprised. Girl, although they are a little offended, please show mercy. I didn’t say anything about killing people. The woman looked at Zheng Guobao with a koo expression. I said they were not good people. I didn’t want to talk to them, but they didn’t want to do bad things. Besides, there are many of them. I can’t beat them. I’m hungry. You want them to eat for me. God knows what she said. It seems that Zheng Guobao owes her a debt. Sample is Zheng Guobao think this woman is full of mystery and paranoid temper is not her contradiction is ordered to prepare food, wait until this woman grabbed chopsticks hard food fight even those pale head army was surprised "mother, where did this come from? How did the victims eat so much?" "My god, this appetite even topped us a few pot-bellied Han and specialized in eating meat. How can ordinary people raise it? Seeing that she is handsome and thinking who can marry her is a blessing, now I know who can marry except the rich family? " Zheng Guobao watched her eating hard and urged "slow down, slow down, don’t hold on."When she chewed the last chicken leg and drank the wine from the hip flask, she rubbed her hand against the chair. "I’ve finally had a full meal for so many days." Zheng Guobao laughed. "I’m still in charge of this meal." The woman looked at him and looked down at her embroidered shoes. "These shoes are better than my original boots. I’ve always wanted to buy them, but my uncle just won’t let my boots run away this time. Well, this dress is finally better than my original one. Comfortable food is also very good, but I have no money. "She seems to be afraid of Zheng Guobao’s disbelief and patted her waist." You can see that I have no money, so what do you want me to do to pay your debt after eating your food and wearing your clothes? " Look at her delicate and charming appearance. Guo-Bao Zheng almost blurted out to let her pay her debts, but he swallowed at the thought of the dead body that was split in half. "Forget it. It took six taels of silver or so to make the girl feel at ease." The woman leaned forward and found her face almost in front of Guo-Bao Zheng, and a delicate fragrance came straight to the nose. "Really? Are you sure you don’t want me to? When I meet men, I always want to pay my debts by myself or say that I want to listen to him read poetry or listen to him play the piano, but in the end I still want to pay my debts. You are the first to say that I didn’t meet those people. Since you won’t let me pay my debts, I’ll help you kill someone. Tell me who you want to kill most and where he lives. I’ll help you kill them, and we’ll be even. "Killing this woman seems to belong to the category of simple and ordinary daily life just like eating, so it is so smooth and free to say that there is no pressure. Although Zheng Guobao has done a lot of things, he is not as calm as her. Especially after this woman gets close, she always feels that there is an inexplicable pressure hanging over her whole body, as if she leaned in, not a delicate girl, but a beast. He coughed, "Girl, you don’t need me to kill people, and I don’t need your help to kill them. You have to answer me a few questions." Even if you pay me back for this meal, "the girl sat back and pulled her hair in the first place." It’s boring. If you say you want me to sleep with you and want me to have a baby for you, wouldn’t it be great? I can kill you fair and square, and then run away. If you don’t, I’ll kill someone, and we’ll be done. It’s boring to answer the question. I have to eat late. Do you have so many questions every day? If I can’t answer it, I won’t eat it. "
Chapter one hundred and forty-seven Catch drunken fish
Look at her look. Zheng Guobao thinks it’s funny again. Maybe this dangerous girl is a mountain village savage. "Don’t worry, if you want to keep me here, I’ll take care of your food to ensure that there is so much meat in every meal that you won’t starve." The woman smiled. "Well, if every meal is so delicious and has such good clothes to wear, then I’ll know what to answer, but let’s say first that if I can’t answer questions, I won’t be allowed to deduct my meat." "Naturally, I won’t dare to ask the girl’s name? Because I came to the Yaowang Temple, I was in conflict with those wicked people? " The woman hesitated for a moment some wriggle "how can this be said? Your first question stumped me. My mother called me Meng Er, but my uncle wouldn’t let me. He named me, and I don’t like it. It’s terrible. How can I tell you if you ask me my name? Shall I tell you my name or my uncle named me? What’s the surname? My mother said that this surname can’t be told to people casually, even if you invite me to eat chicken legs. "She took another look at the chicken leg plate and was a little reluctant to go. Zheng Guobao looked funny. She felt that this woman looked like Qu Fei smoke at this time." Don’t worry, I said, even if you don’t answer my question, there are chicken legs to eat, as well as mutton, dog meat and pork. ""It seems that you are really a good man. Those bad guys who want to take advantage of me are different. Good people naturally have to be rewarded. Don’t worry, you will have good luck in the future. This time I listened to my uncle’s arrangement to bring some old men to talk business with people, but those old men refused to listen to me. I knew that those people were not good people. They had to listen to the results and were ambushed. I finally escaped, but several old men were dead. I didn’t know the road here. I ran into money and spent several days without meat to beat someone. The dog was chased by someone who killed me, and then a group of people came out. "Zheng Guobao listened to her description of the scene and felt that his forehead was sweating. This whole thing was a wandering hometown, lost, murdered and thief, and she was born with a strong collar. Where is the opponent? She just wandered all the way into Shaanxi Province." Just walk and walk, and my boots are broken, but I don’t like that kind of boots. It’s better if they are ugly and broken, so my uncle can’t blame me for not enjoying themselves. It was raining heavily outside that day. I went to the Yaowang Temple to take shelter from the rain. The group discussed what Huashan Ningzhong was talking about. Who listened patiently to what they said? I asked them for something to eat. As a result, these guys dared to come around and touch me. As a result, they all killed each other. I was poisoned. I wanted to go to the table to take some medicine, but I passed out before taking it out. "Zheng Guobao listened to this woman’s description of her heart. Listen to this statement, it’s a rush for Sister Ning’s hand. Although I don’t know what the road is, it’s still thanks to this killing star. Otherwise, if they kill Sister Hua Shan, isn’t it a big loss? He praised."Girl is good at kung fu, so many wicked people have been killed by you, Pepe, and you have a good rest. I’ll go out and make arrangements." The woman was nervous. "Are you ready to sneak away after listening to me? I’m telling you that I’m very good, even if you run, I’ll find you. I don’t have the money to steal something to eat. There are people chasing me. There are people who want to report to the authorities to arrest me. If I leave you, I won’t have anything to eat. Will you let me eat for five … seven … ten days? " Zheng Guobaolai doesn’t feel a little lonely because of Qu Fei Yan, but now he is amused by this girl. "Don’t worry, I’m not going to throw you away, but I really want to arrange something to take you when I leave, but where do you live and how can I send you back?" The woman shook her head again. "I can’t say that my uncle told me where I live. This is a secret. Even if I am hungry for a few days, I’m sorry." "How can I send you home?" Besides, I’m going to Henan, will it get farther and farther away from your home? ""No, I’ll think about it myself in a few days, and if I meet my family, I can let them take me back. I’m not far from Henan. You can find my way home by yourself if you take me to Henan. "Zheng Guobao more listen to more think that this female identity is very mysterious, but although she is naive and a little inexperienced, she does not want to talk about things. It’s really not easy to cheat her out. Let her rest and order Sun Da to send someone back to Huashan to deliver letters, so that Ningzhong can get ready, and then transfer 50 trusted people from Xi ‘an government to Huashan to be alert. Sun Da added, "The prince’s maternal uncle is in good shape …" Zheng Guobao punched her chest. "Are you crazy? She tore up everyone just like playing, which is not easy to figure out. Besides, although she is not clever, she can be careful about this matter. Maybe she will split me up again. "Sun Da smiled strangely." How are you confused this time, Uncle? This little girl drinks, but we’ll get her some good wine at night, and we’re afraid you won’t follow her heart? " Guo-bao zheng or shake head a way "nonsense! We don’t know the depth of her martial arts. You don’t even know what it is. If it is self-defeating, she will pay a lot of casualties even if we can win by relying on more people. How much can that girl drink even if she can drink again? Let’s persuade her to drink a few more drinks until she is completely drunk and my uncle catches her drunk fish. Wait until dawn every day and tell her that you have drunk too much. What can she do? This female martial arts is high and a little weird. When she becomes your person, just ask her the origin. Are you happy to have a beautiful woman and a female bodyguard in the future? "Guo-Bao Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Is this reliable? Can’t this town’s liquor store work? When the time comes, if you can’t keep an eye on this wine, you’ll screw it up. "Sun Da smiled awkwardly." The prince’s maternal uncle assured me that we had tried this wine. You paid the salary before, and they went to fuck this village discipline. As a result, after drinking the wine, they went straight to the desktop and couldn’t even practice the chivalrous warrior. "Did Zheng Guobao know that he had to drink enough to practice martial arts? If this is the case, then it really has a door. Sun Daling led Zheng Guobao to another cross-courtyard to see the practice of the wind. He staggered with one hand and held the sword at random. He definitely waved the sword at random in the courtyard. He studied swordsmanship in the army. It’s different from telling the truth rather than being beautiful. It’s also ugly and funny to dance with the sword drunk. His daily image is quite different. Listening to the practice of the wind and dancing, he said, "When you are drunk, you can see the sword and dream of going back to the corner and even the camp ………… Things will happen when I beat the Tatars, hit the Semu people, hit the Taixi people, hit the enemy, hit the civil servants, hit the clean stream, hit the profiteers who betrayed their ancestors, hit the gentry who failed to pay taxes … hit "Zheng Guobao shouted" hit two catties "and practiced the wind." Fight two catties! ….. No, two catties is a bit too much. Let’s have two bars first. This wine is really strong. "He stumbled and fell to the ground, and soon he snored.
Chapter one hundred and forty The world of mortals
Zheng Guobao ordered several jinyi to carry people back and called Sun Da again. "This wine seems to be a little strong. I quickly ordered to buy more escort wine and buy more food. I don’t pay attention to any craftsmanship. I just prepared more meat. When I entered the town, I listened to the dog barking and asked them to prepare more fat dogs to cook wine with dog meat. I can’t believe this. I couldn’t ask the truth about this little girl’s skin." Sure enough, when the wine and dog meat set the table in the evening, my eyes would shoot light. Almost all the people would lie on the table and grab several large plates of dog meat. She looked up at Guo-Bao Zheng again and said pathetically, "You promised me that you would eat meat every meal. You can eat this meal well every day. Let me." Although she is a mystery, she looks a few years older than Guo-Bao Zheng, but her naivety always makes people treat her like a little girl. Therefore, this kind of move makes people feel that she is cute, but there is nothing against Guo-Bao Zheng. She poured a glass of wine. "Don’t worry, let’s eat dog meat without anyone fighting with you." It’s meaningless to taste this shochu. I also specially found a few people to accompany us to drink. "He singled out these six people, all of whom are famous in the team of this trip. The wine table has made great achievements and bullied less. I want to come to this dream girl. Although she has some alcohol, she can’t compete with these many good players. Now the only worry is that she doesn’t drink this person. If she is determined not to drink, it will be really difficult for others to persuade Dream to take the glass and smell it. Her face shows joy."Good wine, good wine, you will know that it is strong when you smell it, but the cup is too small for you to drink. I want a big bowl." Zheng Guobao didn’t expect Meng Er to cooperate so much. He ordered me to replace all the wine utensils with sea bowls. Meng Er gave himself a bowl full of wine, and Zheng Guobao filled the bowl and put the jar on the table. "You guys are not good people. I don’t want to pour you wine, and no one is allowed to grab meat with me for a while." These Hankou should be Zheng Guobao. Hold the bowl and want to say something. I don’t want to dream about it. I’ve drunk half a bowl and caught a piece of dog meat to eat. "Don’t be bothersome. Eat and drink quickly." She said to Zheng Guobao while stuffing meat into her mouth, and put a jar on her hand four times. It seems that she is afraid that someone will come to take away the people and don’t want things to develop. Actually, this girl seems to be not difficult to deal with. She has held bowls to respect her dreams and is generous. Zheng Guobao has seen that big bowl of wine in a dry bowl. I was a little dizzy first. As a result, the dream stopped drinking two times and took the bowl away. "If you don’t drink, don’t take some meat. You are a good man, but take some meat from me and I will ignore it."Send the half bowl of residual wine to Zheng Guobao. It won’t be long before she gets drunk in this way. But the more she drinks, the brighter her eyes seem to be. On the contrary, she seems to be more energetic. Those who are in charge of the hostess have already poured down more than half of their dreams, but they don’t stop persuading Zheng Guobao to eat meat. After drinking for a while, the six waiters have all been unaware of the dream of eating and drinking by themselves. Sideways: "Well, a few nasty guys have fallen down, and no one has robbed me of wine and meat. Zheng Guobao, you eat a little more, so I can’t eat alone." When Zheng Guobao prepared dozens of pounds of soju in the village, most of the dog meat was also destroyed, and 70% of the dream was wiped out. "It’s the most enjoyable thing to eat today since I left the mountain. Finally, no one taught me what not to eat, not to drink so much wine, and not to be bored with it." Just eat casually when you hit a wild animal when you are hungry. "She squinted and looked dumbfounded. Zheng Guobao leaned forward." You are very strange. I don’t think you are a good person, but you can’t move your heart. It’s strange that you say who you want me to kill. I’ll help you kill. Let’s get even, okay? " Zheng Guobao has believed in historical records at this time, and it is not nonsense to say that ten pounds of meat is ten pounds. At present, this girl looks so slim, and her appetite and alcohol consumption are amazing. If she loses her layout, she will become a big oolong. At last, this woman didn’t kill herself, otherwise wouldn’t it be bad?The in the mind has scolded Sun several times, but his face looks like a nice gentleman. "What did you say? I treat you like my little sister in my heart. How can a brother ask his sister to eat and get paid? I don’t want to kill anyone, so save your energy. It’s getting late, and you should go to bed. I’ll take you back to your room. "Dream shook her head." No, I can’t be your sister. My mother said that if a man calls me a good sister, it must be a bad idea to let me have a baby for him. My mother said that giving birth to a baby is not fun, but it hurts. I’ll kill anyone who wants to ruin it for me. I don’t want to kill you. You can’t call me a good sister. It seems that I am older than you Zheng Guobao nodded and explained, "Actually, I didn’t mean that. Well, since you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say it. I’ll send you back to your room and rest early." Dream said, "I haven’t had enough fun yet. You’re not allowed to go anywhere while you listen to my singing." Seeing that she got up and grabbed two hostesses and threw them at the door, then she threw all six people into the yard like a hemp bag and shouted, "I’m going to sing and dance. None of you are allowed to watch. I’ll kill anyone who looks at me. You get rid of these six guys. I don’t want them to vomit here. "After shouting, put the latch on the lobby door again and then leap. People have already left the table, kicked their legs, rolled the dishes and wine bowls all over the floor. She threw off her embroidered shoes and pulled off her stockings to expose her white feet." Is it nice? " She carried her feet and asked Zheng Guobao about this appearance, that is to say, "Dare to say it’s not good-looking."Zheng Guobao nodded his head, wondering what this woman really wants to do. She laughed. "Mom said that women are not allowed to let men look at their feet, nor are they allowed to be seen by men, nor are they allowed to kill anyone who touches them. But if you are the closest man, you can see and touch them. But you are a good man, but you are not close enough to me. You can see and don’t touch them. Otherwise, you will be killed." She will make a few Hu Xuan long sleeves and dance on the table, singing "What a ridiculous infatuation in the world of mortals." It’s all right … "Zheng Guobao didn’t have much to drink, but at this time he even scared the last bit of alcohol." You … how did you sing this? " It’s not that he hasn’t seen him crossing, for example, a Peking Opera Troupe has a great string, but this woman is mysterious and strong, but she doesn’t know the world and doesn’t even have a sense of right and wrong. Is she crossing, too? But it doesn’t look like the dream turned twice again. The whole person leaned back and supported people to bend into an arch bridge. It was the shape of the iron bridge with one hand. She looked at Zheng Guobao in this posture and laughed. "How can you sing?" My mother taught me to listen, right? If you can sing, sing with me, but I don’t believe Mom said that few people in this world can sing this song. "Zheng Guobao came to the table and continued to sing along with her tune until the night is long and she finds happiness." How is this different from what your mom taught you? " Dream at this time has been in a different position, just holding the legs and sitting at the table listening to Zheng Guobao singing, etc. Zheng Guobao finished singing and clapped her hands."That’s right, that’s right. You are the second person who can sing this song except your uncle, and you are more beautiful than your uncle. You don’t want me to work and you are willing to give me meat." She suddenly reached out and pulled Zheng Guobao to her face and kissed her face. "The person who can sing this song is my dream family, but I can kiss you. If you don’t want to do it, I will still hit you."
Chapter one hundred and forty-nine Golden Sword Enemy
Zheng Guobao was confused. I don’t know what this dream really means to me, but the more mysterious and dangerous this woman is, the more she can evoke his desire. After this night, the Royal Guards all know that this woman is not only martial arts, but also amazing in drinking and appetite, so she is afraid to provoke her again.
Meng Meng also has no good opinion of these splendid clothes and the Cangtou Army. From time to time, she has to get one for Zheng Guobao. She is a little older than Zheng Guobao, but she insists on calling her a sister, but her manners are a little childish. According to her own statement, she grew up with her mother, and her mother taught her martial arts and taught her to hunt. After her mother died, she went back to her father’s side to take charge of the family business. Part of her criteria for judging people’s good and evil came from her intuition. Her words were vague and many details were very suspicious, but she had to ask her carefully, so she was silent
Poor her, such a figure and appearance belong to the first-class beauty, but she can’t be seen and eaten at all times, which makes Zheng Guobao secretly regret that if I had known, I would have taken Yue Lingshan or Huashan Six Spirits with me and wouldn’t have suffered this crime.
In a few days, the brigade went straight out of Shaanxi and rushed to Henan. It was close to Luoyang border troops. Zheng Guobao had already entered Henan before he entered Henan. The local rich gentry and powerful militia had already beaten the mutineers. When the border army arrived, it was like a magic soldier. When the white army arrived, it was also the enemy of the nine-sided troops. The mutineers were not unified, and the command was chaotic. They thought it was to woo rather than really rebel. They did not occupy the famous city, but they were afraid of making trouble. In the future, they could not recruit peace. As a result, there is a lack of core territory and insufficient military resources. As soon as the border troops change their soldiers and even suffer defeat, they have been defeated. From the news received along the way, it can be seen that the loyalist victory along the way has gradually compressed the rebels to Luoyang, the border area of Hunan, Hubei and Guangxi, which is a safe zone.
At the beginning of the mutiny, there were also military forces attacking Luoyang. According to Yang Yikui, the governor of Henan Province, the overall situation in Henan at that time was that the soldiers outside the city refused to pay for the enemy, and Luoyang was no exception.
Wang Yuanba, a righteous citizen of Luoyang, destroyed his family to relieve the hardship and scattered his family’s wealth. When he was in a crisis, he went to the city to help defend it. Yang Yikui sponsored Wang Yuanba, who had been commended by the imperial court for building a stone archway in Luoyang, and was given a plaque by the governor himself. The Wangs were allowed to raise Ding Zhuang in Luoyang to form a loyal word camp to seal the king’s parents. Wang Bofen, Luoyang Wei, commanded the loyal word camp to be a participant. From then on, the Wangs officially became a middleman in officialdom.
Later generations, when Wang Jiaxiu wrote the genealogy, Luoyang was in battle for thousands of years. Thieves and soldiers committed crimes for several decades. Seeing that the imperial court had no soldiers to attack the city, thieves and soldiers were in urgent need. The city walls were like hedgehogs and big millstones, and the towers were destroyed. Looking at the city head, the thief’s potential stretched for miles, and the guns and spears were rolling, and there were countless guns and guns. When the city guards saw that the thief was in great danger, they refused to order people to go to the city to meet the enemy. The officers urged them to whip each other.
Duo Lai Yuan Ba Gong led hundreds of clan brothers of Wangmen to climb the city to drive away the enemy’s white blade, and fought bloody battles for half a day. Wang Men’s brothers suffered heavy casualties, and Luoyang Dan Xin Bi Xue remained immortal. The thieves were greatly defeated. Yuan Ba Gong led his brothers out of the city to pursue and kill thieves. Many thieves, such as Wang Tianzong, Chai Yunsheng, Wang Tianzong and Admiralty, crashed into the sky and fled at night.
If you look at this passage, Wang Yuanba is simply a Buddha in Luoyang and a jade pillar in the great dynasty. But we have to say that history often has different sounds. For example, according to the "one thunder" of the small military leader who participated in the siege of Luoyang, the Wangs had made contact before they arrived in Luoyang, and they agreed to offer gifts such as Kaesong for several times. Only then will they choose to attack Luoyang.
However, I didn’t expect that before the troops arrived in Luoyang, it was reported from Kaifeng that the imperial army of Beijing battalion of 30,000 and the army of Liaodong Li Chengliang of 20,000 had begun to enter the Yu war. Although the news had not been verified, Wang Yuanba’s attitude had begun to rise.
Then there was the siege of Luoyang, where the magistrate, the treasury, and the silver were 22,000, and the army, Luoyang Wei, was very brave and turned into a soldier. After several attacks, the soldiers were unable to overcome their morale. After the siege, the soldiers released a message to prepare for the water attack. It was said that the soldiers were going to form a death squad. However, this death squad somehow took control of the government offices, warehouses and other important places. It was very suspicious that the commander Gao Shida of Luoyang was killed and the Wangs seemed to be involved. For example, someone tipped off the high commander and killed the city, and
However, at this time, the rebels withdrew because of the lack of food. Wang Yuanba immediately led his troops to kill the mutinous soldiers. When he retreated, he was plundered by Wang Yuanba. However, this batch of trench later became a big mystery in Henan. Since the start of the army, the official Tangbao has been beheaded for more than 20 times, and the number of times he was captured and deported to Beijing is not counted. I want these people to dare to rebel, and there must be means. Sun Wu has seventy-two changes. It is not surprising that the 72-headed thief Monsieur beaucaire has this left-handed doctrine. Who dares to deny that Tangbao is? What is your position?
According to Wang Yuanba’s explanation, the early contact with the rebels was based on the idea of letting the rebels retreat to the government warehouse surrounded by death squads, which was to protect the food and grass in the magistrate city. Similarly, the Wangs had banners such as "Welcome Julian Waghann to recover Luoyang" and "Sweep the Puppet Dynasty and reopen the sun and moon"; Miss Wang Jiasun was promised to the magistrate of Luoyang, but Lei Yi insisted that it was his concubine. The Wangs were at odds with each other. How did those Luoyang sect brothers become rebels? Their heads became the exploits of the Wangs. How did some main fields become barren and belong to the Wang family? These are all based on the age.
Anyway, after the first world war, the value of the overlord family in Wang Yuan rose sharply. Because the rebels swept through the villages and towns outside Luoyang at the beginning, they did not evade the rich and killed them. Those main fields were rewarded by the Luoyang magistrate, and Wang Yuanba was rewarded by the militia. Of course, the magistrate himself tried his best, but he could not spare his strength to reward the Wangs. Later, half of the land was awarded to the magistrate, the magistrate, Wang Yuanba, and half of the land was returned to Yang Yikui, which is also considered proper in the title.
