2.7 Our eldest son must be named Dongfang
"Dongfang Qianhu, Mr. Zhou, this battlefield still needs to be tidied up. Should you two keep busy, or should you go back and rest first?" Luo Xian turned around and asked with a smile as he respectfully sent the eldest prince away.

Well, this sentence can also be translated as "you should get out".

"General Luo has worked hard, so I'm going to be lazy and go back to bed first!" Zhou Yang smiled and cupped his hands, saying goodbye and preparing to leave.

"General Luo, this protector is very important. We must prevent him from committing suicide or being kidnapped. If a big problem really happens, General Luo will not be able to explain it." Dongfang Bing still did not forget the work at hand.

"Haha, don't worry Dongfang Qianhu. Since this protector has been captured alive, he is not planning to commit suicide." Luo Xian replied with a smile, "But if the news here spreads, you must be careful about the methods of those White Lotus thieves. I will directly kill him." He was escorted to the Guards camp to avoid any surprises."

"Farewell!" Dongfang Bing even said goodbye simply and was too lazy to say more.

"No!" Luo Xian also smiled and handed over his hand.

Finally, he glanced at the still somewhat chaotic scene, and then looked at the White Lotus protector on the ground, who didn't know whether he was really unconscious or pretending to be unconscious. The benefits he originally thought were only a "beautiful future", Zhou Yang shook his head speechlessly. , after getting on the horse, he handed over his hands and said "goodbye", then turned the horse's head and left.

"No wonder he was so happy to give us the credit for capturing the White Lotus protector from the beginning." Da Ma took a few steps faster to catch up with Dongfang Bing. Zhou Yang complained helplessly, "It turns out he knew a long time ago that we would not separate him. You, a girl, will not compete with him in any way; I haven’t given him the title yet, even if I share the credit, it will be a matter of the future, and all the remaining advantages will belong to him."

"Hmph!" Dongfang Bing obviously didn't want to discuss this topic, "Do you still have a place to stay in the store?"

"Uh-huh?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment and looked over in confusion, "Of course, I'm just living in a girl's house. Is it appropriate to live at my place?"

"Why, do you still have any wrong thoughts?" Dongfang looked at him coldly.

"Of course -" Zhou Yang still wanted to say a few words. After all, the female guard in front of him completely conforms to modern aesthetics. She has an S-shape, long legs, a model figure, a celebrity face, and comes with her own uniform and three attributes. She is simply the best. The ideal partner, he just glanced at her left hand resting on the handle of the knife, and wisely chose to be honest, "Uh, no, it's an honor to receive the Eastern Guards!"

"Hmph!" Dongfang Bing then let go of the handle of the knife, shouted "drive" and went straight to Wuying Hotel, and Zhou Yang had no choice but to follow.

The shantytown in the south of the city is not close to the west of the city. Even if the current capital city has not reached the exaggerated level of the modern "eight rings", there is no obstacle along the way at night. Even if the two of them galloped the whole way, they passed by when they returned to the tavern. In the early morning, it was almost time for Shen Shi.

"Master, are you back?" Unexpectedly, after the Li brothers opened the door, Qingwen, who was fully clothed and obviously sleepy but very surprised, came up to her, "Are you injured? Do you need my slave to prepare?" Have some food, Master."

"Okay, I'm fine. Everything went well this time." Zhou Yang waved the Li brothers back to sleep, and then stepped forward to give her a pat on the head, "Girl Qing, didn't I tell you to go to bed first? Wait until now?”

"Huh, Master, if you don't want to sleep, why should I sleep first?" Qingwen pouted in dissatisfaction and coquettishly, "Master, I left some food. It may be cold now, so I'll go right away."

"Okay, I'll find some for myself later. Dongfang Qianhu, the conditions here are a bit rough, so I can only live with you Dao Qingwen for one night. If you want to wash up, you can only get some from the well for the time being. The water is cold." Zhou Yang smiled and ruffled Qingwen's hair, then turned to Dongfang Bing and said.

There are only three bedrooms in Wuying Tavern, Zhou Yang's own, Qingwen's, and the Li brothers' servants' room. The only one Dongfang Bing can make do with is Qingwen's. Fortunately, she is not a fussy person. Last time she was in the iron net. Shan was "grabbing for food" and didn't mind the bowl Zhou Yang used at all, nor did he care about the hygiene issues of eating outdoors.

"I've seen Dongfang Guards!" Qingwen, whose eyes had never left her young master, then saw Dongfang Bing. Thinking about her performance just now, she blushed with embarrassment, "Slave, go get water now!"

"No need, you can just go and rest." Dongfang Bai was obviously not in a good mood, waving his hand to signal Qingwen to leave, then turned to Zhou Yang and said, "You shouldn't be short of food in this shop, but do you have wine? "Huh?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, unable to keep up with the other party's thoughts. He and Dongfang Bing were considered friends, but they were not alone in drinking a bar together. "Dongfang Qianhu, don't talk about the fact that I am here There is no good wine, you are..."

"Here you go." Dongfang Bing glanced at her lightly and interrupted his question directly, "You still have a stew pot here, right? Go find the bar, I'll prepare something to fill your stomach."

After a while, Zhou Yang walked into the lobby of the tavern carrying a small wine jar, and found that Dongfang Bing had already cut a platter of braised sesame water, pork head meat and other miscellaneous dishes, cut a few pickles, and added salted peanuts. We put together a plate to make up for the meal, and even the wine bowls and chopsticks were ready.

"Good luck, this is a ten-year Huiquan wine given by a friend, and it was opened during the Chinese New Year. I haven't been willing to finish it. Today is just right." Zhou Yang smiled and shook the wine jar to explain, but he didn't want to be caught by Dongfang Bing. He snatched it away.

I saw that she poured the wine syrup into the bowl very skillfully, very quickly without spilling a drop. She didn't forget to top it with Zhou Yang. She didn't say anything after pouring it, she just picked it up and started drinking.

"Yes, it's authentic Huiquan wine that has been aged for ten years." He lost more than two taels in one sip, but Dongfang Bing didn't feel drunk at all, so he filled up another bowl very calmly, "It's a pity that it's a little less, five kilograms." There are only a little more than three kilograms left in the jar. It would be great if they were all here. I don’t know where you got this good thing that can be used as a tribute."

"You..." Zhou Yang didn't follow her thoughts at all. There is a saying that "if a woman doesn't get drunk, a man has no chance." What does this mean in front of him?Free benefits, and also prepare all the excuses to explain tomorrow?

"Don't worry, my drinking capacity is beyond your imagination." Dongfang Bing glanced at him lightly, took another sip from the wine bowl before taking chopsticks to eat. It was only then that Zhou Yang finally saw that this man in front of him was There is nothing feminine about his style, and compared to Li Wan's original style, they are two extremes.

"What's on your mind?" Zhou Yang didn't bother to drink, so he picked up a few mouthfuls of vegetables to fill his stomach. After a busy night, his stomach was already empty. "You don't seem to be in a good mood today. Of course, you seem to be depressed every day. of."

"If today's credit can be counted on me, or if my all-time credit can be counted, even if I can't get a real job today, I will still be at least a fourth-grade first-class guard. But what about now? Since I was promoted I have been serving as a second-class bodyguard and a member of the Imperial Guard for three years, and I have not been able to do anything for three years." One time, Dongfang Bing dropped his wine bowl, and Zhou Yang held down the hand that Dongfang Bing was using to pour the wine.

"Dongfang, think about it a little bit. How many female guards are there in this palace? Have you ever thought about it?" Looking at Dongfang Bing, who was obviously drowning his sorrows in drinking, Zhou Yang felt that he couldn't let her go. "I don't know about this aspect." I don’t know much about it, but as far as I know, there seems to be no women in office in the world.”

"Yes, there is no precedent for women to hold office." Dongfang Bing glanced at him indifferently and took his hand away from his, "If it was just a position, I would accept it, but I don't even want to take a false position or even a title. Come on, there are hundreds of female guards in the palace, and the tallest one is me, the second-class guard. Those so-called first-class guards, both of them together are not necessarily my opponent."

"I said you are from a girl's family." Zhou Yang was a little confused, and he was very puzzled by this. "How can you get such a utilitarianism? Not to mention that there are not many women in these days who have obtained official positions, just your female guards. Colleagues, how many of you care about this?"

"That's because they are just sent to the palace from home to show off. The so-called 'protection' in daily life is better to say that they have prepared a shield in advance just in case." Dongfang Bing suddenly shouted out, even rare Tears fell down, "They are not like me. In this generation, I am the only woman left in the Weiyuan House. I still remember that my mother repeatedly asked before her death that the Weiyuan House cannot be abandoned."

"Uh" Zhou Yang didn't know what to say at all.

"I'm sorry." Dongfang Bing wiped away the few tears on his face, then grabbed the wine jar and filled it for himself, "I have met so many people over the years, and you are the only one who has not made me feel separated. You're the only one who doesn't look at me differently because I'm a woman, thank you."

"I just think that women don't have to be trapped in the back house." He held down the wine bowl she picked up again. The excessive force even caused the wine to spill out. He had seen many women in military uniforms in modern times. My comrades may not be used to it at first, but during the mission, no one cares about gender.

"Thank you." Dongfang Bing let go of the wine bowl, with a rare blush on his cheeks, "Did you know that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion still has the inheritance of a first-class general, but I, a woman, can't take over. I can only rely on the original After my father's death, I became a so-called "female guard" just to look good when I got married. Fortunately, the princess took care of me for many years and saved me a lot of trouble.

I came here today just to ask, are you willing to marry into the Marquis Weiyuan's mansion?In the future, our child will be the Marquis of Weiyuan and a first-class general of the Zhou Dynasty. My only request to you is that our eldest son must be named Dongfang! "

"Gah——" Zhou Yang almost pulled over.
