Dragon Warrior

Chapter 142

When the two walked to the hall, Zhao Min's three daughters were all there.At this time, the sky was getting dark and the lights were lit in the house.

The winter in the Western Regions is very cold, Zhao Min's martial arts are not enough to keep out the cold, so a large pot of charcoal fire has been lit in the house, and the baked house is warm.

On the contrary, Xiao Zhao, because of his physical fitness, later practiced the Xuanming Divine Art, and is now a top-notch master, not afraid of cold and heat.Naturally, Yang Yaoqin has been out of cold and heat for a long time, and the four seasons of the year are not much different to her.

Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts are also not enough to keep out the cold. Although she has practiced the Emei Nine Suns Kungfu, her skills are still weak and she cannot dispel the cold all the time.Fortunately, Xiao Jing kept warm all the time along the way. Although the cold wind was strong, he never felt the chill.

Xiao Zhao and the others had already met Zhou Zhiruo when they were in Wan'an Temple, but Zhou Zhiruo didn't know her.Seeing a beautiful young girl busily serving tea and water, she was a little puzzled for a moment, and asked: "She is..."

Before Xiao Jing could open his mouth, Xiao Zhao had already said: "I am the servant girl of the young master. I have been rescued by the young master many times, and I am lonely and have nowhere to go, so I beg the young master to take me in. I will never give up on the young master, and Xiao Zhao vowed to be my servant for the rest of my life Maid, take care of the young master's daily life, in order to repay the great kindness. If Miss Zhou has something to do, just tell Xiao Zhao directly."

Zhou Zhiruo glanced at her suspiciously, and said "Oh" noncommittally.

Zhao Min said: "Xiao Zhao, Miss Zhou is a guest from afar, how dare she tell you to do things directly?" She then said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Miss Zhou, if you have any needs, you can tell me directly, and I will try my best to meet them."

Zhou Zhiruo secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that I want you to disappear before my eyes, can you be satisfied?Seeing Zhao Min's hostess appearance, she was clearly provoking her, she was annoyed, and said: "Miss Zhao is a noble lady of the royal family, how dare I wait for the sons and daughters of the world to bother you?"

Zhao Min heard it in his ears and was angry in his heart.Zhou Zhiruo was talking about her identity again, and also intentionally or unintentionally emphasized that she and Xiao Jing were both sons and daughters of the world, as if they were the right family, but she was out of tune.Thinking of this, she glared at Xiao Jing again, deeply complaining why he insisted on bringing this Zhou, it was clearly to anger herself.

Xiao Jing spread her hands innocently, thinking that you are bothering you, don't take me with you.The two girls played their own machines, and neither of them had a fuel-efficient lamp.

Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo seemed to be fateful enemies, no matter in the original book or in this life, the two of them had never been on good terms, and it was as difficult as heaven to make them obedient with a shock.

But fortunately, they were quarreling, and finally they didn't lose their minds and did some outrageous things.

Yang Yaoqin watched the show smiling.These two girls are beautiful, but they are both roses with thorns, and they are not convinced by each other. If you want them to get along in harmony, I'm afraid there is not much hope in this life.

But Xiao Jing had a different idea in his heart, he never hoped that the two girls would be like sisters, as long as they met and didn't fight, he was already very satisfied.

As for bickering, it doesn't hurt at all, you get used to arguing and arguing, and when you stop arguing one day, you won't get used to it.Bickering is also a process of running-in, as long as it doesn't get out of control, it will always develop in a good way in the end.

As night fell, Xiao Zhao had already prepared meals, which were brought out by several people and placed on the table.Because of the Chinese New Year, the food is very rich, and Xiao Zhao's cooking skills are not bad, not bad compared to those chefs.

Although everyone had eaten not long ago, they were busy with the excitement and drinking, so they didn't eat much real food, so now they are sitting at the same table, and the food is very delicious.

Halfway through the meal, when he was almost full, Xiao Jing took out another jar of aged wine. Although he drank a lot of wine today, it was Chinese New Year after all. Without wine, he felt that there was a lack of atmosphere, so he planned to drink two cups.

Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo sat facing each other, they looked at each other with disgust, and sparks flew everywhere every time their eyes met.

Zhao Min is naturally unwilling to admit defeat, and has a long-standing opinion on Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo is also soft on the outside and strong on the inside, especially when facing Zhao Min, she refuses to show weakness.

It's good that Xiao Jing didn't speak, but once he opened his mouth to persuade, he would get burned at every turn, and was caught in a dilemma between the two.

Fortunately, Yang Yaoqin still has a bit of prestige in front of the two daughters, and she often speaks out to mediate to avoid the escalation of the conflict.

At this time, seeing Xiao Jing bring out the wine, Zhao Min's eyes lit up, his black and white eyeballs rolled away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he got up and took a few more glasses, and put them in front of them.

Xiao Jing said: "Didn't you drink before? Do you still want to drink? It's not good for a girl to drink too much wine!"

Zhao Min said: "It was different before! Now we are having dinner together, and it is our first New Year together. How can we not have a few drinks to celebrate?"

When everyone heard it, they thought it made sense, and even Zhou Zhiruo secretly nodded, quite agreeing with Zhao Min's words.Xiao Zhao got up and fetched a small red clay stove, turned on the fire, and put the wine on the small stove to warm.

After the wine was warm, Xiao Jing poured a glass for everyone, and everyone drank the first glass together.Zhao Min wanted to drink the second cup with Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing smiled and clinked a cup with her, then he drank another cup with Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao.

Then Zhao Min wanted to respect Yang Yaoqin again, and finally had another drink with Xiao Zhao. In the blink of an eye, he drank four glasses of wine, and Zhou Zhiruo also drank four glasses.

Xiao Jing was stunned, it seemed that Min Min thought she could drink well, and wanted to get Zhi Ruo drunk so that she could make a fool of herself in front of her.

I don't know if Zhou Zhiruo saw Zhao Min's malicious intentions, anyway, Zhao Min had a drink, and she also had a drink, and she had already forgotten about the not much drinking that Master ordered.

Zhao Min took turns to drink, and finally raised his glass to Zhou Zhiruo and said, "This glass of wine is for Miss Zhou, please don't refuse!"

Zhou Zhiruo picked up the wine glass and said calmly, "Miss Zhao, you are welcome. When I get to brother Jing's house, I will be like my own. I don't need such clichés." down his neck.

Zhao Min signaled Xiao Jing to fill up the two of them again, and said with a smile: "Their men are careless, if Xiaojiu neglects the guests, Miss Zhou please Haihan, don't be angry, the second glass of wine will be treated like I'm ahead of time." Make amends!"

Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly, and said, "I'm even more angry with Brother Jing than I am with myself. Does the princess think I'm that boring?" Then the two drank it down again.

Zhao Min gritted his teeth secretly, and said with an undiminished smile on his face: "Miss Zhou is so kind-hearted, Zhao Min admires it. Over the years, I have been limited by conditions and have not been able to be by Xiao Lang's side. He took good care of me, this third glass of wine, thank Miss Zhou."

Zhou Zhiruo's smile was still faint, and said: "The two of us take care of each other, and we are willing to take care of each other. Even if we take care of each other for dozens or hundreds of years, it is only natural. It is not Miss Zhao's turn to thank me." The two poured the wine in their glasses again drink up.

Zhou Zhiruo said: "Miss Zhao surprised me. Before you appeared, I never knew you existed. After I learned about it later, I thought you two had forgotten each other. I didn't expect Miss Zhao to be very capable." Back then, it only took one month, plus a few things at the time of parting, to be able to tie a great man firmly for more than ten years, and easily obtain a lifetime of happiness. This method, Zhiruo is willing to bow down. Therefore, this How about a cup, as I express my admiration for you?"

Zhao Min was proud of herself, thinking that the girl had worked so hard to deepen her position in his heart, and she had given him gifts to make him feel my presence all the time, it was not for nothing.If you knew that he still owed me a promise, you probably wouldn't be able to laugh.The two had their own thoughts, and they drank the fourth glass of wine.

Zhou Zhiruo said again: "The BMW that Miss Zhao presented to Brother Jing back then also carried Zhiruo through the Bashu Immortal Road, saving Zhiruo a lot of hardships. It is time for Zhiruo to say thank you. To express my gratitude, I will do it first. For your respect." After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass again.

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo mentioned this issue again, obviously out of anger at herself, Zhao Min almost gritted her silver teeth, glared at Xiao Jing fiercely, and swallowed the wine in the glass in one gulp as if venting.

Next, while Xiao Jing, Yang Yaoqin, and Xiao Zhao were stunned, Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo began to toast each other with each other.

Every time the two of them spoke a few words, they drank a glass to each other, and they drank very crisply. After a while, they had already drunk more than ten glasses of wine, but they did not see the slightest hint of drunkenness.

Xiao Jing called obediently, these two girls can't hold their alcohol.

He had known that Zhao Min could drink very well, but Zhou Zhiruo, who had always been quiet, was able to drink with her, which was beyond his expectation.

It seems that this girl is very good at hiding her clumsiness, and she is born with the potential of a black-bellied woman. I'm afraid that even Miejue Shitai doesn't know that her apprentice is actually a small wine jar.

Xiao Jing shook her head secretly, Minmin met her opponent this time, she wanted to make Zhiruo look ugly, but she didn't expect that the opponent was not a fuel-efficient lamp either!

However, from the dialogue between the two, we can also see a bit of their respective temperaments.

Zhao Min is quick-witted and resolute, with a bit of frankness in his wisdom. He regards himself as the master between the lines, and puts his posture very high. Every sentence is full of aggressiveness, but there is some truth in it, which makes people unable to pick out the thorns .

Zhou Zhiruo, on the other hand, seemed docile, there was no shortage of compliments and compliments on the surface, and her posture was very low, but every sentence was hidden in the needle, so as not to let the wind fall.

Xiao Zhao was watching with great interest. This scene reminded her of Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo who were fighting each other at Wan'an Temple in Dadu at the beginning of the year.It's just that it's more subtle and restrained this time, but the hidden edge is not weak at all.

She secretly rejoiced in her heart, luckily she did not have the idea of ​​fighting against the two women, otherwise it would be difficult for her to parry such two powerful opponents.How nice it is now, to be by my brother's side as well, but I can sit peacefully and watch a play.

Xiao Jing saw that the two girls drinking like this is not a problem, and wanted to stop them, but the two were competing with each other, neither of them listened to his persuasion, it was still a drink between you and me.By the end of the meal, the jar of wine was about to bottom out, and most of it was drunk by the two women.

Even though they had a lot of alcohol, the two of them were also quite drunk, their cheeks were flushed, and their footsteps began to float.Especially Zhao Min, she has already started to stand unsteadily, and uttered a series of vague words from time to time, most of which are related to Xiao Jing.

Xiao Zhao hurriedly helped her into the bedroom, brought her hot water, washed her briefly, put her on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

Zhou Zhiruo's condition was better. She just blushed and walked a little swaying, but she was not so unstable in standing.

This is not to say that Zhou Zhiruo drinks more than Zhao Min, the main reason is that Zhao Min had already drank a lot of wine when the factions had a big banquet before, and if he drank again tonight, adding up the two times, naturally he drank much more than Zhou Zhiruo many.

Xiao Jing guessed that Zhou Zhiruo might have noticed it a long time ago, so she used her tricks without showing her face, and directly showed her real drinking capacity to drink Zhao Min to the ground, and regained a small victory.

Zhou Zhiruo waited for the meeting, saw that the night was getting dark, and remembered that Master and others were still waiting for her to go back, so she offered to leave.She said: "Brother Jing, you can send Zhiruo back, I'm afraid Master will be unhappy if it's too late."

Xiao Jing nodded, took Zhou Zhiruo's hand and went out together.He didn't propose to let her stay here. Although the two agree with each other, they are unknown after all. Zhou Zhiruo is also a high-ranking disciple of the Emei Sect, so she directly rests at his house. If it is spread, it may have a great impact on her and the reputation of the Emei Sect. .

In an era where fame and festivals are valued, Qingyu is nothing more than life to a girl, especially since the reputation of the teacher is also related behind it, so it can't be sloppy.

On the contrary, Zhao Min didn't care much about this.The Mongols don't pay too much attention to these ethical things. As long as they like it, they will pursue it bravely and boldly.

So when she wanted to leave with Xiao Jing, she did so directly. The only thing she had some concerns about was her father's feelings, other things were not in her consideration.

Xiao Jing and Zhou Zhiruo walked side by side in the night, with their arms folded together, walking among the faint lights coming from a distance.

Since tonight is New Year's Eve, a large torch is placed outside the door of every house, which can burn for a whole night, but the shadows around it are dim and dreamy.

Both of them enjoyed this moment very much. On New Year's Eve, walking in the faint lights, the faint laughter in the distance, the sound of firecrackers from time to time, and the fireworks going up to the sky, all made this night extraordinarily special. Beauty and romance.

The two walked very slowly, their bodies getting closer and closer, and finally hugged each other tightly, leaning on each other to watch the clouds of smoke exploding in the sky.The flickering flames flickered with dreamlike colors, as beautiful as the beautiful longings in the hearts of boys and girls.The poetic and picturesque feelings are particularly intoxicating in the rendering of the night.

Xiao Jing's nose lingered with the scent of a girl's body, as well as the faint scent of wine.The girl in his arms was soft, soft and beautiful, and it was an inseparable bondage in his heart.

He lowered his head and quietly looked at her beautiful face, which was as bright as the morning glow. The girl seemed to feel something, raised her head, and looked at her bravely and affectionately.Her face was blushing, she had the bewildered look of a half-drunk beauty, and also the shy and joyful look of tenderness in her heart.A layer of mist floated in her eyes, watery and extremely alluring.

The surroundings seemed to become very quiet, and all the hustle and bustle was far away from them, leaving only a pair of selfless young men and women, intoxicated in each other's tenderness and unwilling to wake up.

It was not until they reached the courtyard where the Emei School was located that the two parted reluctantly.Zhou Zhiruo tidied up her appearance a bit, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I drank so much tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to be punished by Master."

Xiao Jing said, "No, today is New Year's Eve after all, and my wife is not unreasonable. No matter how strict she is, she will definitely be lenient tonight."

Zhou Ziruo relaxed a little, held Xiao Jing's hand, and said, "Then I'll go in."

Xiao Jing said: "Go! I will watch you go in, and then I will leave."

Zhou Zhiruo hummed, quite reluctant.Xiao Jing supported her shoulder and said: "If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night? Get a good sleep, can't we meet again tomorrow?"

Zhou Zhiruo nodded and let go of Xiao Jing's hand, turned around and walked slowly into the courtyard under his gaze.

Xiao Jing listened quietly outside for a while, and after confirming that she had indeed seen Miejue Shihou, she turned around and returned to the house.
