[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

Hearing this domineering rhetorical question, Zheng Ping almost thought that Zhou Yu wanted to use tough measures, knocked him unconscious and tied him back.

But Zhou Yu just stood there straight, and didn't even enter the courtyard door that would collapse if pushed. On the contrary, it can be said that he was adhering to etiquette and did not cross the boundary at will without the owner's permission.

This doesn't seem to be in line with the domineering words just now, and Zhou Yu's temperament is already somewhat contradictory, which attracts attention.

Regardless of whether he was really following the rites of a gentleman, or because the drug seller was rumored to have a miraculous force value, he thought it was unlikely to knock him unconscious and kidnap him, so he didn't immediately put it into practice to "force"——Before Zhou Yu hadn't yet In the case of active aggressive behavior, Zheng Ping will not have the idea of ​​"taking the opportunity to remove the enemy's important generals" because of the so-called "camp confrontation".

Instead, he asked with some interest:

"How do you force it?"

The corners of Zhou Yu's lips stretched out, showing a heroic posture: "Rites first, then soldiers."

Zheng Ping, who had just come to the drug seller once, "before the soldiers", said: "..."

He said bluntly, "It is indeed a good idea."

Before Zhou Yu said that sentence, he had guessed all the possible reactions of the other party, but he didn't have this one in front of him.

He couldn't help pausing for a moment, secretly wondering if the words "drug seller" were ironic.

He didn't know that Zheng Ping was agreeing with him sincerely, and he didn't expect to achieve his goal in one go when he came here today.Since the "medicine seller" refused to let him enter the room for a detailed talk, and showed perfunctory resistance everywhere, after Zhou Yu finished the preface, she felt that today was over, raised her hand to Zheng Pingping as a farewell ceremony, and left openly .

After Zhou Yu left, after a while, the real medicine seller came back and saw Zheng Ping standing beside the half-square-meter vegetable garden in the courtyard. Fearing that he would harm his ungrown vegetable seedlings, he quickly held two plants in his hand. The hemp rope of scallions and radish walked over quickly.

Xie Zhu: "The vegetables in the garden have not grown yet, so they are not edible."

Zheng Ping didn't explain why he came out, and asked casually, "Why have you been here for so long?"

A flash of anger flashed across Xie Zhu's face, which was quickly hidden by him, and he said vaguely: "Something happened on the road, so it was delayed."

Zheng Ping saw that he had no intention of explaining, so he didn't go into it. He just told Xie Zhu: A man who called himself "Yu" came to him just now.

Xie Zhu didn't have any special reaction when he heard the name "Yu". It should be because he has never been in contact with Zhou Yu, so he couldn't easily match the two names.When Zheng Ping told the other party's appearance, Xie Zhu knew nothing about him except that the person who came to see him was a young man who was about his age, had a very good appearance, and had a unique temperament.

"Can you explain why you came here, which medicine are you looking for?"

"I didn't mention the specific name of the medicine, but said 'I came here not only to ask for medicine, but also to discuss other important matters'."

Xie Zhu didn't think that he was not at home, and there was only an outsider standing in the courtyard. Whether this outsider would be mistaken for himself by the medicine seeker, or whether Zheng Ping might pretend to be him.But even if he thought about it and saw it, Xie Zhu wouldn't care.

He just asked, "What else did this man say?"

Zheng Ping did not hide anything, but told the truth.When Zheng Ping relayed the speech of "It's a pity to live here", Xie Zhu didn't respond.Until Zheng Ping mentioned "honours before soldiers", Xie Zhu, who had already been "honored before soldiers" by the bastard in front of him, immediately changed his expression.

"What a 'respect first, then soldiers', you all like 'respect first, then soldiers', really think I'm at your mercy, won't I be the same as you 'respect first, then soldiers'?"

Hearing this, Zheng Ping felt that Xie Zhu probably didn't just say it casually, he might have had a similar thought long ago, and after the "preliminary courtesy" of "please eat", he was going to retaliate and give him a "rear soldier".

Xie Zhu also realized that the words he just blurted out were full of hints, he immediately put away the anger on his face, hung the vegetables tied on the hemp rope inside the house, walked out and said to Zheng Ping:

"I hear your accent, it seems that you come from the north of the Yangtze River. Maybe you haven't eaten river fish in Danyang. I found scallions to get rid of the fishy smell. You might as well follow me to the riverside, maybe you can catch one or two. .My skill in cooking fish is so good that you can eat it and lose your tongue.”

There are also people in the north who eat river fish, which only have more spines and less meat. The common people eat it when they are hungry, and the rich people think it is disgusting.

Seeing that the other party was confident in his cooking skills, Zheng Ping became more sincere in his intentions.He followed Xie Zhu out of the city and came to the nearest river. He saw that Xie Zhu took a branch at random, stood by the river, concentrated on it, and caught a small fish with a big nose in a short while.

Xie Zhumian said without changing his face: "This fish is the most delicious, you are lucky today."

Zheng Ping said: "...the fish in Jiangdong are really strange. Heng is just a mediocre person, and he wants to eat the big fish that slipped away from the branch just now."

When Xie Zhu heard Zheng Ping's words, even though he knew that he had seen through everything just now, he still blushed and said, "That's natural. The younger you are, the fresher you are, the older you are, the worse it is. Everyone understands this truth."

After speaking, as if to fight back against Zheng Ping, Xie Zhu handed him the branch in his hand.

"I don't know if you have caught fish in the Northland? Why don't you try it?"

The best way to shut up a covetous person next to him is "you do what you want". If you do worse, you won't be ashamed to despise his skills anymore, right?

Xie Zhu thought very well, but he didn't know what kind of control the assassins in another world had over short weapons. In addition, Zheng Ping understood the principle of "light refraction". At the riverside, when the first big fish swam past nearby, the sharpened branches flashed quickly, accurately and quickly plunged into the water, splashing countless water splashes.

The next moment, a palm-sized fish was brought up by a branch, wagging its tail constantly.

Xie Zhu was silent for a long time, thinking about his achievements in the past, he couldn't say "the big fish is not tasty, you should throw it away", he just pretended that nothing happened, asked Zheng Ping to bring the fish, and went back to the village with him. at home.

When the fish soup sprinkled with scallions was ready, Xie Zhu stretched his chopsticks into the pot, but was blocked by another pair of chopsticks.

Zheng Ping said: "The big fish belongs to me, and the small fish belongs to you."

Xie Zhu laughed angrily, "It's true that you caught the big fish, but this fish soup was made by me."

Zheng Ping replied: "Brother Xie has made great contributions to making soup, so you should enjoy this small fish that tastes more delicious. As for this big fish, as the saying goes, 'the smaller the fish, the fresher it is, the bigger it is, the fatter it is', so I will eat it."

When Xie Zhu heard this extremely familiar words, he immediately lost his temper.This is what he said to Zheng Ping before, but he didn't expect to be returned without saying a word.In order to honor his fishing skills, he hypothesized that small fish are more delicious, but now he is shooting himself in the foot.

Although he felt that Zheng Ping's paradoxical arguments were particularly abominable, but everything started because of his lies, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't blame anyone, so he had to pick up the small fish angrily, eat them up in two or three bites, and then ruthlessly paw the beans and rice.

Seeing that Zheng Ping also started to eat, he put his chopsticks into the fish soup and took a piece of fish into his mouth.

I thought that Zheng Ping would pretend to be surprised and ask him "how can the big fish be so delicious", and put on the hateful face of a winner, but Zheng Ping just ate quietly and didn't say anything else, which made Xie Zhu breathless and depressed panic.

Before the meal was finished, shouts came from far and near outside the door.

Xie Zhu continued to eat without being surprised.When he noticed the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, heading straight for his house, Xie Zhu put away his indifferent attitude, looked at the door vigilantly, and took a wooden stick standing by the wall.

Zheng Ping, on the other hand, ate calmly, as if he hadn't heard any movement outside.

Xie Zhudao: "What else are you eating? Someone broke in, get out of here..."

Before he could finish speaking, the wooden door was slammed open from the outside.

A tall and mighty young man with sharp eyes entered with a sword in hand. The edge of his coat was stained with blood, just like a gangster who just committed a murder and came here to do evil again.

Xie Zhu, who had been prepared long ago, had already carried a wooden stick and hit him, but was blocked by a young man who was also prepared with a sword.

A sword mark that almost cut off the stick appeared on the stick.Surprisingly, Xie Zhu didn't move at all, but the young man who looked more powerful and mighty with clear eyes was shocked back a step.

Xie Zhu was about to continue attacking, but he heard the young man whisper.

"Break in without any malice. There are murderers outside, can you go into the house and hide?"

Xie Zhu was about to refuse, when suddenly he saw the young man take out something from his bosom.

Xie Zhu's face changed slightly, before he had time to think about it, he took two quick steps to close the door, grabbed the young man's sword, and drove him to hide in a corner.

The young man found a large vat with a gap on the edge, and lowered his body as much as possible, using the water vat to cover himself.

When outsiders rushed to the neighborhood, they were afraid of Xie Zhu's reputation, so they didn't break in, but searched the neighborhood and knocked on the doors of other people's houses.

They ended up getting nothing and leaving cursing.

The young man hiding behind the water tank did not get up immediately, but waited quietly for a long time, making sure that those people would not leave and return in a short time, and then walked out from behind the water tank.

Xie Zhu said with a bad face, "Why are you here?"

The young man gave a thank you gift and said solemnly: "When dealing with family affairs, I was accidentally targeted by thieves. Thank you Lang for saving me."

Xie Zhudao: "Go back quickly, don't be like your father and brother."

Hearing this, the light in the youth's eyes changed instantly.

Zheng Ping clearly captured the fleeting hostility, but that hostility was like an illusion of light refraction, and disappeared without a trace before he thought deeply.

"I don't know if those gangsters have gone far away, can they stay at Xie Lang's house for half a day?"

Xie Zhu said it mercilessly, but he "loved and cared" this young man.He agreed to the young man's request without too much hesitation, and continued to sit back and eat.

The young man probably hadn't had a regular meal yet, and was hungry. Seeing that there was still some bean rice in the pot, he asked if he could add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Zheng Ping, who had no sense of existence, was still eating without saying a word, but he was seriously thinking about a problem.

The young man who broke in seemed somewhat similar to the portrait of Sun Quan he saw at Cao Cao.
