Chapter 102: Across the Branches (2)(1/2)
Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan...
A few beads of sweat oozed out of Chen Mo's forehead. He never expected that he would run into Zhang Liao under such circumstances.
"I recognized the wrong person..." Chen Mo said with a tough forehead.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Susu didn't know if she had just hit Chen Mo's back and was stunned, or she still hadn't come back to her senses from the first surprise of getting a gift, rubbed her painful forehead, and said coquettishly, "What are you doing, Xiao Mo, suddenly stop..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao, who was leaning against the wall holding a spear, whistling and laughing.
"..." Chen Mo looked back at Zhang Susu with a dumbfounded glance. The latter noticed the current situation. He stuck out his tongue and shrank behind Chen Mo, and quietly looked at Zhang Liao not far away.
"Hahaha, haha!" Looking at the two people looking at each other, Zhang Liao hugged the spear and laughed loudly, then stood up and said with a bit of joking smile, "Deputy General Chen is still like this... interesting!" As he said that, he looked at Zhang Susu behind Chen Mo with a wicked smile, with a full look of teasing. Obviously, he just regarded Zhang Susu as an ordinary woman.
Keeping Zhang Susu behind her quietly, Chen Mo frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Mr. Wen has already obtained Xuzhou, and Zhang is a general under Marquis Wen. How can he not be here? Instead, Deputy General Chen, who has resigned for a long time, appeared in Xuzhou and called Zhang a little surprised!"
"..." Chen Mo frowned slightly and whispered, "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Liao chuckled lightly, suddenly held the spear tightly in his hands, and shouted in a deep voice. "Do you still need to ask? Naturally, he took Deputy General Chen as a detailed work and handed it to Marquis Wen to fall!" As he said that, he glared at his right foot and jumped towards Chen Mo with a quick step. The spear in his hand was like a silver dragon coming out of water, poking straight towards Chen Mo.
"Xiao Mo!" Zhang Susu exclaimed, subconsciously trying to use magic to deal with Zhang Liao, but suddenly felt that Chen Mo slightly pinched his little hand held in his hand. When he looked at Chen Mo's eyes again, his heart was stunned.
At this moment, Zhang Liao's spear had reached Chen Mo's throat, and the tip of the spear barely touched Chen Mo's throat.
Chen Mo's expression did not change, but looked at Zhang Liao again, but he looked disappointed. After putting down the spear in his hand, he looked at Chen Mo and said unhappily, "Hey, even if you know I won't really poke it down, you'll do it at least!"
Chen Mo patted the empty right waist with his right hand, shrugged and said, "Is it true? I am unarmed now!"
As they said that, the two looked at each other and then laughed at each other.
After a burst of laughter, Zhang Liao put away the spear in his hand, looked at his right hand and said sincerely, "Long time no see, Brother Mo!"
Chen Mo shook his head slightly. He raised his hand to hold Zhang Liao's right hand, then nodded, and said sincerely, "I've become stronger, Wen Yuan..."
"Natural!" After holding it hard, Zhang Liao let go of his right hand and slapped his chest. He smiled and said, "I am now the commander of the cavalry commander, no longer the young man he was back then!" As he said, he seemed to have thought of something, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "But he is still not as good as Brother Mo. Brother Mo was the left and right hand of Marquis Wen back then!"
Seeing that Chen Mo seemed to be very familiar with Zhang Liao, Zhang Susu was a little surprised and asked carefully, "Is Xiao Mo very familiar with this person?"
Chen Mo nodded. You should know that when he was deputy general of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao was his soldier. He followed Chen Mo to and from the palace to work every day. How could he not be familiar with him?
"Is this sister-in-law?" Zhang Liao turned his head and looked at Zhang Susu and asked.
This sentence simply touched Zhang Susu's heart. She looked at Chen Mo shyly, bit her lips and lowered her head.
Looking at this scene, Chen Mo naturally couldn't speak back and nodded and responded vaguely.
Zhang Liao respectfully bowed Zhang Susu, then looked at Chen Mo and asked in surprise, "Didn't Brother Mo resign before and return home? How could he be in Xuzhou?"
Chen Mo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's better not to say this..."
"Well," Zhang Liao nodded, not caring very much. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Chen Mo and said, "Is Brother Mo now in the wild or has a belonging?"
Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "What are you asking for this?"
Zhang Liao frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "A few days ago, I heard that Brother Mo returned to the witch and defected to Yuan Shu with the witch, and even used the Jingzhou sword to kill Sun Jian, the tiger in Jiangdong. Is this a matter?"
Looking at Zhang Liao's trustworthy gaze, Chen Mo fell silent.
"So it's true? I still say it's a rumor..." Zhang Liao sighed slightly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Come back, Brother Mo, since you left, I have mentioned Brother Mo from time to time..."
Chen Mo shook his head slightly.
"Brother Mo!" Zhang Liao said seriously, "Mr. Wen has already obtained Xuzhou now. He is no longer as he was under the control of others. It is the time to use people. With Brother Mo's courage, he will definitely help Mr. Wen to wipe out the princes and restore the world. At that time, it will be no problem to glorify his ancestors and keep his name in history! - I am not talented, and I am the former pawn of Brother Mo's!"
However, Zhang Liao's passionate words only resulted in Chen Mo's shaking his head.
"Is it because of that witch?" Zhang Liao's eyes showed a little anger. Judging from his appearance, if Zhang Susu was right in front of him at this moment, he would probably have waved his sword at him.
Well... Actually, Zhang Susu is really right in front of him...
While Zhang Susu was secretly sulking, Chen Mo shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "No need to say anything, everyone has their own ambitions, don't force it..."
Zhang Liao was silent. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said seriously, "I'll ask again, can Brother Mo be valued under Yuan Shu?"
"I'm not under his command... I'm right!"
"Is that..." Zhang Liao sighed long and then said in a deep voice, "In other words, the Black Wolf Cavalry who is stationed in Qingyang Pass at this moment is the troops under Brother Mo's command?"
"Isn't it just a question?"
"Yes, right?" Zhang Liao asked in a deep voice.
Chen Mo looked at Zhang Liao deeply, and without answering, he said, "So what? So what if it is not?"
"..." Zhang Liao opened his mouth speechless. He just clenched the spear in his hand.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran over not far away, holding the sword that Chen Mo had just taken out. Zhang Liao stared at Chen Mo for a long time and suddenly threw the sword in his hand back to Chen Mo.
Looking at the sword in his hand, and then looking at Zhang Liao, Chen Mo sighed slightly and asked, "Do you want to do it?"
Zhang Liao shook his head slightly and said lightly, "In Pengcheng, Brother Mo has a female family, and he is distracted. Even if I win, I will win without force!" As he said that, he turned around, turned his back to Chen Mo, and paused slightly. Then he left.
“…”
Wen Yuan...
Alas, if this guy goes back like this, he will definitely report to Fengxian, it's awful...
Shaking his head, Chen Mo sighed slightly.
"Go back, Su Su..."
“Um…”
On the way back, Chen Mo's mind was filled with Zhang Liao's disappointed eyes, so he didn't notice Zhang Susu's strangeness.
He is still the same as before, knowing nothing...
Looking at his left hand that was held in the palm of his hand. Feeling the temperature in the palm of his left hand, from his temperature, Zhang Susu lowered her head and followed his steps silently.
Idiot, how can I use my sword with you as a counter? If you don’t carry a copper coin, then forget it, I… won’t be really angry…
Just a little disappointed. Just a little...
He raised his head quietly and looked at him next to him. Looking at his side face, Zhang Susu felt that his chest was still pounding.
Just now, she experienced the longest moment she has ever...
To be honest, when he showed such an awkward expression beside him, Zhang Susu was indeed very disappointed. Well, to be more precise, that should be loss.
Unlike Chen Mo, people in this era firmly believe in the existence of fate. They attribute all their inability to change the established facts to God's will, especially Zhang Susu, who had read the three volumes and six volumes of heavenly books...
Zhang Susu firmly believes that whether she meets Chen Mo in Yingchuan or has nothing to do with Chen Mo at the moment, it is all God's will and destined.
Maybe I am destined to not get the bamboo hairpin...
At that time, Zhang Susu comforted herself so much.
But she never expected that Chen Mo would exchange her sword for the bamboo hairpin...
Could this be the destined result? Or, it is just because of him...
Zhang Susu couldn't help but secretly glance at him beside him again, and a deep admiration appeared in his eyes.
My little mourn is indeed the most special man in the world...
Thinking back to his dull expression when he inserted the bamboo hairpin on his hair, Zhang Susu blushed and wished she could completely delete that embarrassing memory from her mind, especially after that...
Until this moment, Zhang Susu still clearly remembered that moment, the moment when tears were about to burst out...
Damn guy...
Zhang Susu lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, but her face was filled with a smile known as happiness.
Not only was he happy with the ornament he gave him, but he was moved by the way he exchanged his sword for the bamboo hairpin!
Shouldn’t it be something that men in the world regard as their lives?
Of course, more importantly, it is because of Chen Mo's actions at that time.
He personally put a hairpin on her...
“…”
Does he understand, what does that mean?
After biting her lip, Zhang Susu secretly looked at Chen Mo beside her, but Chen Mo's expression as usual made her feel a little disappointed.
This idiot, if you don’t understand, don’t do such things that will make you misunderstand!
Obviously, Chen Mo didn't understand that in this era, not everyone could put a hairpin on a woman, even relatives did not have the qualifications, except for the woman's parents and husband...
Especially for an unmarried woman like Zhang Susu, Chen Mo's actions obviously meant admiration, and even meant to propose. If the woman silently accepted the man's intimate behavior, then she undoubtedly acquiesced to the marriage.
No wonder Zhang Susu was so excited. It’s a pity that her expectations were destined to be wasted. After all, Chen Mo did not understand the customs of this era, so how could he know that that action contained many meanings.
She bulged her cheeks with a little regret. Then, Zhang Susu felt relieved again. After all, she knew the men around her too much. Besides, she had already received too many surprises today...
Although there is still a little regret, I have to say that today he is the hero in her heart!
"Hey... Xiao Mo?"
“Hmm?”
