Standing at the head of the city, looking at the Liangshan military camp that had retreated to five or six miles away and rising with curling smoke, Dong Ping's brows wrinkled slightly. Since noon today, the Liangshan bandits have not launched another attack on Dongping City, which is naturally a good thing in the eyes of the people and the soldiers defending the city, but for him, it feels strange, and he is always worried about what the enemy will plan.

After all, in the past five or six days, the Liangshan army has not stopped attacking all day, and it has never been seen in a situation like this for half a day. And I didn't see that the Liangshan army had the intention of retreating, let alone seeing reinforcements coming, so what was their plan to stop the war suddenly?

Just when Dong Ping was thinking a lot of things but couldn't ask for the law, the general Pang Xu had already rushed over with a happy face: "Eunuch, it seems that the thieves will no longer attack today, you should go down to the city to rest, there is a lowly duty to keep an eye on." ”

"No, I always feel that they have some conspiracy, and I feel uneasy if I don't stay here." Dong Ping shook his head and refused. He is not only guarding this city and the tens of thousands of people in the city, but also to protect his most beloved things, and he must not let the Liangshan thieves enter the city!

"Eunuch, you must be tired from staying in the city day and night for the past few days, since there is no war for the time being, it is better to rest quickly, otherwise when the thieves come again, who should we rely on? What's more, Cheng Taishou sent someone to come just now, saying that he wanted to invite you to come over to talk about it, and there was something important to discuss. Presumably, the Taishou saw that the capital supervisor had made a contribution to defending the city, and he had changed some of his previous prejudices. Pang Xu hurriedly continued to persuade.

Originally, Dong Ping wanted to insist, but after hearing him mention that Cheng Taishou invited him, his expression moved, and after a little muttering, he still said: "Since this is the case, I will go to see Taishou, and you will take someone to guard here." Remember, there must not be the slightest negligence, I always feel that they will not quit for no reason, maybe this time the Liangshan bandits will sneak attack my Dongping City at night. ”

After instructing several other subordinates to take some precautions, Dong Fang hurriedly went down the city, and then rode his horse and quickly rushed to the Taishou Mansion in the city. At this time, Cheng Wanli had already sent someone to wait outside the door, and as soon as he arrived, the Cheng family steward greeted the general with a smile on his face, and greeted Dong Ping with a different color on his face while greeting him.

Because in the past, although Dong Ping was also an official in the city, and he was the head of the military attaché, Cheng Wanli's attitude towards him has always been cold, with a little contempt, and by the way, his subordinates are not very respectful to Dong Ping. But when he came to the door again today, their attitude had changed 180 degrees, which really flattered him.

Especially when he saw Cheng Cheng, who deliberately lowered his rank to greet him, and said with a smile that he was too punctual, Dong Ping had to mistakenly think that this was in his dream. After a long time, he settled down and hurriedly traveled thousands of miles to salute: "How can the lower official dare to greet him in person, and he should be sincerely afraid." ”

Cheng Wanli is nearly fifty years old, he doesn't smile on weekdays, and he is a very common officialdom, but today he is full of smiles, seeing Dong Ping like this, he has quickly stepped forward and hugged the other party: "General Dong doesn't need to be polite, the old man did have some prejudice against military generals before, but after experiencing this accident, he has completely changed his mind." My Dongping Mansion has been able to stay stable, but thanks to you and the soldiers under your command. That's why I will deliberately set up a banquet in the house today, one is to treat you, and the other is to make amends to you, these three...... Come, let's go in first and talk while eating. As he spoke, he took Dong Ping's hand very affectionately and walked to the hall next to him, where the banquet had already been placed.

Dong Ping didn't dare to struggle, and he was busy saying thank you, so he walked into the hall, and then sat down with the guests, and today he was accompanied by Chen Cang, a close confidant by Cheng Wanli's side.

With the wine and food kept being served, coupled with the whole day of fighting, Dong Ping was indeed hungry, although he did not drink, but he also ate a lot of dishes, at this time his somewhat apprehensive mind finally calmed down, and he also behaved extremely steadily and decently in front of Taishou.

It's just that seeing that he didn't drink a drop of wine, Cheng Wanli didn't feel a little strange: "Why, the old man heard that General Dong had a lot of wine, so he deliberately asked people to find the good wine that has been aged for ten years, why don't you drink it?" ”

"Too forgive, the last general has already made rules in the army, and you must not drink alcohol in wartime, ordinary soldiers are like this, and I should lead by example as the main general. Therefore, this wine can only be put aside for the time being, and it is not too late to drink it after the last general has repelled the incoming thieves. Dong Ping hurriedly bowed and explained.

"Oh? General Dong really devoted himself to Dongping City for me, which really moved the old man. Cheng Wanli took a drink himself, and then asked about the current defense of the city. In this regard, Dong Ping naturally answers all questions and does not hide it in the slightest.

After hearing this, Cheng Wanli looked at Dong Ping with emotion: "The general is really my patron saint of Dongping." But after all, the general is not iron-beaten, and he also needs to rest, I wonder if you are not here, can I hold Dongping City? After asking this question seemingly casually, his eyes lowered slightly, and he disguised his emotions by the gesture of drinking.

And Chen Cang, who was accompanying the last seat, shook his hand a little weakly, and the wine in the cup shook out. However, Dong Ping didn't look there at this time, and didn't notice anything, just frowned and said: "If the last general is here, I can be safe, but if there is really a case, with Pang Xu's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to keep it for two or three days." In addition, according to the general's expectations, reinforcements are also coming, so even if I am really injured by them, I can hold Dongping. ”

"That's good." Cheng Wanli was obviously relieved, and then said with a smile: "General Dong is expensive this year?" If the old man remembers correctly, you haven't married a wife yet, have you? ”

"The last general is twenty-eight this year, and as Taishou said, I don't have a wife yet." When Dong Ping heard him ask, his expression changed slightly, and his heartbeat accelerated a little......

Taishou looked at him with a look of disbelief: "With the ability to be a general, it really surprised the old man to come here." I don't know if you have a sweetheart? ”

"This ......" Dong Ping's heart beat faster, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing this, Cheng Wanli had a faint judgment in his heart, and after taking another sip of wine, he said: "If the general has no one in his heart, this official wants to marry the general." My daughter Yue'e is in her twenties this year, and although she was married, she had a bad fate and ...... before she arrived at her husband's house Now I have been with the old man for several years, and I have always been a heart disease, if the general does not dislike it, the old man is willing to marry the little girl to you as his wife, I don't know what the general wants? After saying this, his eyes were fixed on Dong Pingping, with a look of expectation.

And Dong Ping was also a little stunned at this time, he couldn't believe that this was actually true, his long-cherished wish for many years was going to come true today? This made the body of the two-spear general, who had been able to remain calm in the face of hundreds or thousands of enemy troops in the city before, and the body of the two-spear general who fought calmly trembled slightly unconsciously, and he did not notice that the dishes on the chopsticks had fallen.

It's true! Unexpectedly, Liangshan Bandit's attack this time brought him such benefits, which was something he could never have imagined in the past, which made Dong Ping really excited.

Because he remembers very well that when he and Yue'e proposed to Taishou, his sweetheart said this: "Dong Lang, it's not that the slave family refuses to marry you, and we will be together forever in this life." Truly, my father would not agree to this...... He values honor more than anything else, since I have been married and widowed, it is impossible to have a second marriage, you and I are only afraid that there is no fate in this life. ”

At that time, Yue'e said so sad and pitiful, and Dong Ping had already given up on it. But today, things have taken such a big turn, how can he not be overjoyed, or even a little overjoyed?

It was precisely under this kind of ecstasy that Dong Ping did not notice Chen Cang's nervous expression, and although Cheng Wanli was still smiling, there was a heavy anger in his eyes. Sure enough, as Master Chen said, Dong Ping had already thought about his daughter, and he was still ...... Yue'e At this moment, Cheng Taishou hated to kill this bastard who ruined his daughter's reputation with his own hands.

But he also knows how strong Dong Ping's martial arts are, don't say it's him, even if he is the whole mansion and the people, I'm afraid that he won't be able to hurt Dong Ping in a normal state. So even though he was extremely angry, he still forcibly suppressed the killing intent, and reluctantly smiled: "General Dong, how did you think about it?" ”

"When...... Of course, the last general really can't ask for it, thank you for keeping ......, no, thank you father-in-law for fulfilling the relationship between the son-in-law and Yue'e. In the future, my son-in-law will do his best to guard my Dongping and protect the peace of my father-in-law's family. Dong Ping, who was excited, was already a little incoherent, but the change of salutation showed how urgent his attitude was.

"Hehe, in that case, shouldn't you make an exception for a few glasses of wine today? Such a happy event, if there is no wine to celebrate, it is too much to say. Cheng Wanlipi raised his glass again without smiling.

This time, Dong Ping no longer made any excuses, and hurriedly raised his glass and drank all the wine in the cup. Then, in order to show his respect for this father-in-law, he quickly poured two glasses of wine and drank them all. Only then did he get up again and want to come forward to salute again, so that the title could be completely settled.

But when he stood up, he suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and his movements were stiff. Dong Ping felt a little strange, but quickly put it aside, thinking that it was caused by the hard fighting in the city in the past few days, and he drank the wine again just now, and his body was a little unbearable.

But when he swayed to Cheng Taishou, Dong Ping was shocked to realize that his body was already a little numb, and Cheng Taishou in front of him was constantly turning, just like being drunk. But I only drank three glasses, how could I get drunk?

Then, he saw an amazing scene, Cheng Wanli, who was still smiling, suddenly turned his face and shouted angrily: "Dong Ping, do you dare to do this? Come on, take down this thief for me! Before Dong Ping could speak, more than a dozen errands had poured into the hall, and they quickly pounced, and he fell to the ground with weak hands and feet.
