Chapter 66: Taolin's righteousness

Luo Dacheng's two horses were given to Bao Zheng, but he was still holding his little wife and riding a horse to the capital. When the pedestrians on the road saw him, they were both surprised by Di Liniang's extraordinary beauty and gorgeous clothes, and they were also puzzled that Luo Dacheng actually held her in his arms and was frivolous in public. He often glared at him, and Bao Zheng was also rolled a lot.

Luo Dacheng was assured and regarded those rolling eyes as if they were invisible. Now Di Liniang was weak and could only snuggle in his arms. Although she was worried about whether Di Qing could cure her internal injuries, being able to hold her beautiful and delicate body at all times was vaguely a happy thing for him.

The three of them rode two and walked towards the capital. At noon that day, the three of them were tired of riding horses and then got off their horses to rest. Since there were no villages and towns in front and behind, they could only rest in a peach forest.

Sitting in the peach forest, Bao Zheng and the others sat on the ground, while Di Liniang was still snuggling in Luo Dacheng's arms, looking weak and weak, with black hair on his temples, leaning lightly on Luo Dacheng's shoulders.

Bao Zheng had been accustomed to it, and sat down and talked about Brother Luo who was holding his sister-in-law's wife. When he saw the peach tree beside him, Luo Dacheng took a whim and took out the story of the Three Kingdoms in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he had seen before, and told the story of the three brothers, from the uprising of the army to the battle of the Red Cliff. As expected, both of them were fascinated by the hearing. Di Liniang's eyes were even more blurred and crystal clear. She admired this omniscient husband in her heart and almost looked at him as a god.

After a paragraph was spoken, Luo Dacheng stopped to drink a sip of water, and felt that he was very happy and fully experienced the joy of the storyteller.

Taking advantage of his stop, Bao Zheng said in confusion: "Brother Luo has never seen the story he has just told in the Three Kingdoms, but I don't know where it comes from?"

Luo Dacheng smiled ambiguously and said, "I have also seen it in unofficial history, or later generations have some revisions. It is just used as a story and cannot be considered real history. Brother Bao doesn't have to take it seriously."

Bao Zheng just explained his doubts and talked with Luo Dacheng about the deeds of the Three Kingdoms, sighing for the heroes of the Battle of Red Cliff.

Luo Dacheng was worried, pondered for a moment, bowed and said, "Brother Bao, you and I both fell into the same state at first sight. Why not follow the story of the Taoyuan fraternity? Let's get together here. I wonder if Brother Bao is willing to agree?"

When he made such a suggestion, his heart was slightly beating. If he could become brothers with the eternal names in the world, even though he had not yet made a fortune, he would be very pleased.

Bao Zheng was stunned, his face seemed a little happy, and gradually became solemn, bowing and saying solemnly: "Brother Luo's words are exactly what I want. It's just that friends are friends, the key is to be honest. I wonder if Brother Luo can explain his doubts for me?"

The breeze came gently, and the young Confucian scholar sitting on the ground in the peach forest, his clothes fluttered gently. His dark and beautiful face had an unspeakable serious expression, which made Luo Dacheng look solemn, and he couldn't help but calm down. He said in a solemn voice: "Brother Bao has any questions, just ask!"

Having said that, after Bao Zheng asked, he would answer frankly, that might not be necessary.

Bao Zheng bowed and said, "I dare to ask Brother Luo so well-informed, but where does he see and know, but I don't know if Brother Luo is willing to tell me?"

First of all, I can't tell the truth. Luo Dacheng said calmly: "It was taught by his master. My master comes from afar, but he has never told me that he adopted me when he was a child, often taught me all kinds of knowledge, astronomy and geography, but my younger brother is foolish and unsophisticated. One day, when I went out to hunt, I was thieves broke into my home, killing my master's life, and burning the house. After I came back, although I caught up with the thieves, I killed them all to pay tribute to my master. Then, because my family had burned to white land, I had to bury my master and wander around the north border. Finally, I went to the northern border and joined the army as a soldier. I hope that I would have a background in the future and lead a large army to traverse the battlefield, showing the voice of a man's life!"

Speaking of this, I looked down at Di Liniang, and then I realized that I had missed it. I forgot Di Liniang, so I calmly remedy it: "Zhujing was originally a marriage that my master told me back then. This time I went back to my hometown, but I saw that she was seriously ill and could not move freely, so I could only take Zhujing to the capital to find my uncle to treat her."

Bao Zheng bowed his hand solemnly and asked again: "Brother Luo, have you ever heard of Deputy Commander Luo who killed Shangguan and rushed out of the military camp and didn't know where to go since then?"

Luo Dacheng knew it was going to be bad as soon as he heard it, but there was no wave on his face. He pondered: "I have heard of this matter as well. However, there are many garrisons on the border and wide distribution, so he couldn't understand them clearly. I don't know that Brother Bao is far away from the border, so how can he know this matter?"

Bao Zheng smiled indifferently and said, "I once helped handle official documents in the Luzhou government office because of my father's common sense. When I saw the documents of the arresting officer in Guohai, I asked the various yamen to pay attention to the capture of Deputy Commander Luo. Later, I issued official documents about this case. I was curious and took a few more glances, so I knew that although the criminals in that case had the same name as Brother Luo, there were many people with the same name in the world, which was not a strange thing."

He revealed this lightly, but Luo Dacheng knew that he was making a fool. The documents sent by the Captainship were naturally painted and pictures, the same name and surname, and the same appearance and official positions. Even if Bao Zheng was slow, he knew that something was wrong, so how could he let it go so easily?

Bao Zheng bowed and asked again, "Brother Luo came from the north, but did he once pass a small town called Chen Jiaji?"

Luo Dacheng said calmly: "I have never been there. Why? What happened there?"

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just an outsider. Because his wife was beaten seriously injured by innocent people, he killed three Chen family fathers and sons, two Qin family fathers and sons, and dozens of martial artists Ding, all of whom died in broad daylight. Such a big case has spread to the world. Have you never heard of Brother Luo?"

"I'm ignorant. I guess Brother Bao knows this very well?" Luo Dacheng said calmly, gently putting Di Liniang down from her arms and letting her sit on the blanket beside her.

Although Di Liniang was weak and powerless, she could barely sit by herself. Her pure and tender pretty face had a slightly panic expression. Looking at the tension between her husband and the pick of the surname Bao, the breathing became slightly rapid.

Bao Zheng suddenly saw his actions and smiled indifferently: "I once went to Chenjiaji for my family for my brother's affairs. I happened to see pictures and figures on the streets, and captured the nameless man. The painter was extraordinary in his skill and painted the man's appearance in an extremely detailed manner, so that he could tell at a glance."

Luo Dacheng sighed inwardly, feeling a little distressed. If this were the case, would he take Di Liniang to the capital, would he be recognized and cause trouble?

However, the trouble has now been found on his head. Bao Zheng looked at him with a sharp look, as if he wanted to see his bones all the time.

The atmosphere in the peach forest suddenly became extremely solemn. Luo Dacheng's hand was already pressed on the hilt of the knife, his face was cold, and a strong momentum emanated from his body, as if there was an invisible pressure, which made Bao Zheng feel a little breathless.

Luo Dacheng's posture had turned into a kneeling on the ground on one knee, like a cheetah, full of violent vitality, and could hurt people at any time. He held the hilt of the knife tightly with his palms, and a fierce look appeared on his cold face, and he said word by word: "Brother Bao, have you ever heard of the words that disaster comes from his mouth?"

Bao Zheng's eyes flashed, but his face was calm, and he smiled and said, "Brother Luo, you don't have to scare me anymore. In your eyes, there is no murderous aura at all. Although you have been on the battlefield for many years and have a murderous aura on your body, whether you have really become murderous? I have been helping with the prison in Luzhou Yamen for many years, and I believe you can still see it."

After hearing this, Luo Dacheng's fierce appearance gradually weakened and eventually turned into calm. A warm smile appeared in his eyes and said calmly: "Oh? Are you so sure?"

"About the border case, I have read the documents that have arrived one after another. Although some of the vague words are mentioned, some clues can be seen from them. Since Pang Kexing took charge of the military affairs of Yangwuzhai, in just a few days, Deputy Commander Luo encountered a conspiracy. Then two generals argued, and it was obvious that there were hidden stories of tying private revenge and trying to kill his colleagues. Later, another official document was sent, saying that it was Xiao, the general who had set up an ambush.

Dalie and 300 Liao soldiers were killed in the village. General Mu and General Yang Qi successively defended Deputy Commander Luo, and even saved General Yang from the siege of the Liao army. From this, it is obvious that although Deputy Commander Luo injured Shangguan, his achievements were actually greater than his fault. With the help of Yang, he would not take much time to cancel the sea arrest document in the future and even let Deputy Commander Luo restore his post." Bao Zheng said calmly, and pondered again:

"As for the matter of Chen Jiaji... I have also visited and asked about the case of taking drugs for my brother. Although there is no conclusive evidence in my brother's case, I have already understood everything about the murder of Chen Qin's father and son. That man from another country actually eliminated the harm to the people, and could be considered as self-defense and hurting people. Even when I go to the yamen, I should be suspicious. If my brother examines the case, he will also praise the righteous man more to commend him for his righteous deeds!"

Luo Dacheng was a little surprised when he heard this, but saw Bao Zheng’s face turned solemn, bowing to him, and said in a deep voice: “My brother was murdered by the Chen father and son. If this case is to be turned over, it will be at least many years later. Brother Luo avenged his brother, I would like to thank him here!”

Luo Dacheng hurriedly returned the salute and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that your clan brother is the young county magistrate who was murdered last year... I was so angry that I was responsible for killing people. If Brother Bao was going to the yamen, I would not dare to stop him."

Bao Zheng smiled casually and said, "Who is Brother Luo treating his kindness as his younger brother? If the younger brother tried Brother Luo's case, he should report it to the public and not betrayal to personal feelings. He just went to the yamen to sue and betray his benefactor, but he would not do such a thing."

Luo Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "It turns out that Bao Zheng is not as rigid as the legendary one, so that's much better."

Bao Zheng bowed deeply again and said, "Brother Luo is knowledgeable and has extraordinary knowledge, and is also very skilled in martial arts. I admire you very much. Since Brother Luo is so beautiful, I am willing to become brothers with me and dare not obey my orders!"

Luo Dacheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly replied the gift, stepped forward and helped him up. The two looked at each other and laughed, both of them sympathized with each other.

Bao Zheng asked, "Brother Luo, how big is Gui Geng?"

This question made Luo Dacheng scratch his head a little, and he pondered in his heart: "If it really comes out, this year is 980 years earlier than the year when I came. I am almost a thousand years younger than Bao Zheng. Now I should be 900 years old... But naturally I can't say that. I have to add some water to it. It's not a big deal to increase myself by nearly one thousand years. Since that's the case, why not say it's a little older. Bao Zheng is twenty-eight years old this year, if it's considered a false year..."

Thinking of this, Luo Dacheng coughed lightly and said seriously: "I am just 30 years old this year, I don't know Brother Bao..."

Bao Zheng bowed and said to him, "Brother". At that moment, the two of them piled up soil to make furnaces, planted grass to incense, and swore to heaven and earth, and became sworn brothers of different surnames on that day.

Di Liniang sat aside, looking at Luo Dacheng quietly, and suddenly remembered that she had never asked about her age before. Now she knew that he was thirty years old this year, wouldn’t she be more than twice as old as herself?

But his care for himself is really very caring, which is touching. Thinking of the gentle and sweet place, this pure and beautiful girl couldn't help but blush all over her cheeks. Looking at his tall and majestic figure, she was a little confused.

On the way to the capital, whenever he arrived at a place, Luo Dacheng took Di Liniang to seek medical treatment and asked for medicine. He found all the famous doctors along the way, and personally boiled the decoctions that he fed her.

I remember how Di Liniang took care of him carefully at the beginning. Luo Dacheng also treated Di Liniang so gentlely. Every time he boiled medicine, he would go to watch the fire in person, and sometimes he would go back to watch Di Liniang, just in case she was lonely alone. Every night she lay on the inn bed, she would hold her in her arms and tell her stories she had seen before.

Under his careful care, Di Liniang's body gradually improved and she could stand by herself later. Although she was still weak and weak when walking, she was panting and resting after walking a few steps. Luo Dacheng was overjoyed and only hoped that she could recover as soon as possible. Even if she could no longer have her martial arts skills, she would be satisfied as long as she could be like an ordinary person.

Bao Zheng followed them all the way to the capital, and when Luo Dacheng was really like his brother, he respected Di Liniang very much, and called him "sister-in-law". Although he disagreed with Luo Dacheng, he knew that it was understandable. He usually talked with Luo Dacheng, and often paid attention to the unheard truths revealed in Luo Dacheng's words. When he went back, he thought about it secretly, and often lamented that Luo Dacheng's master was indeed a cademic god, with extraordinary knowledge, and only regretted that he had a shallow relationship and could not meet him.

Luo Dacheng successfully pushed the identity of a time traveler to his fictional master, and he let go of a concern in his heart. At this time, he only focused his thoughts on Di Liniang, rode a horse with her, hugged the delicate and beautiful girl, and rushed to the capital, gradually approaching Tokyo Bianliang.

Compared with Luoyang, the Western Capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Prefecture was called Tokyo, also known as Bianliang. It was built by the Song Emperor in history and was the largest and most prosperous city in the world at this time.

Before he could get close to Tokyo, Luo Dacheng felt that the towns along the way were gradually prosperous, and it was countless times stronger than the border towns.

On this day, Luo Dacheng held his wife in his arms, led his brother behind him, galloped on the road, and calculated the distance. He knew that it was only a few dozen miles away from Bianliang City, and he would arrive soon.

The sky suddenly became dark. Seeing the dark clouds and thunder, Luo Dacheng was anxious, afraid that it would rain heavily and Di Liniang would get sick by the rain, so she looked around and looked for a place to shelter from the rain.

There are few people nearby and there are no houses. There is only a Taoist temple in the distance, which appears in his sight.

Luo Dazhi immediately rode his horse to the other side, led Bao Zheng to the Taoist temple gate, looked up at the tall and exquisite building, and saw that the Taoist temple was majestic. Above the gate, a large plaque was hanging high with the three big words "Qingxu Temple".

When he helped Di Liniang off the horse and asked her to stand in front of the door with the wall, raindrops had already begun to fall in the sky, as if heavy rain was approaching. Luo Dacheng hurriedly slapped the door knocker with his hand and shouted loudly, hoping to get in and shelter from the rain.

The door opened, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Taoist nun poked her head out, looked at the three people curiously, and asked, "Who are you, what are you here to do?"

Luo Dacheng hurriedly bowed: "We are passers-by. Because it is going to rain heavily, we come to shelter from the rain. I wonder if we can let us go in and take a rest?"

The little Taoist nun looked at them hesitantly and said, "But, we are originally female spectators, and it is not convenient for men to enter. The spectator also said that men are not allowed to come in..."

At this time, the raindrops had fallen from the sky. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Luo Dacheng hurriedly said, "We will definitely pay for the incense money. In fact, we all worship Taoism. If you want to go in and worship, please make it convenient!"

The little Taoist nun turned her head and thought for a while. While he was hesitating, she suddenly heard someone ask behind her: "Who is here?"

The little Taoist nun hurriedly turned around, bowed to salute, and said respectfully: "The master of the temple is three passers-by. Because it rains, he wants to come to the temple to shelter from the rain. He also said he wants to worship in the hall, and there are also incense money and other things..."
