Chapter 171
After the big battle, there was no time for celebration. The warriors needed rest and replenishment to prepare for even greater battles ahead.
The elderly, weak, women and children who served as logistics personnel could not rest and had to prepare supplies overnight in shifts.
Cheng Dali also wanted to discuss the upcoming events with Xu Shenji, Liu Bei and Huang San Yuan, chatting until very late.
It was very late when Cheng Dairen arrived at Su Qing's room and knocked gently on the door.
"Have you slept?"
Xiao Die opened the door and looked at Cheng Dairen with a puffed face. After Cheng Dairen entered the house, he saw Su Qing sitting there, secretly wiping away tears, and when she saw Cheng Dairen come in, she quickly wiped her eyes clean.
Cheng Dali rubbed his nose and sat down in front of Su Qing.
Su Ying regained her composure and instructed Xiao Die and Cheng Dali to pour water, saying slowly: "You fought very beautifully today."
"It's okay, I guess." A small victory was not enough to make Cheng Daire ecstatic, and besides, today was just the beginning. Until now, Cheng Daire still didn't have the courage to confront the Rong tribe head-on, let alone the strength.
"Can you hold on?" Su Qing asked.
"Then just try it." Cheng Dairen smiled wryly.
"It's so late, how come you came back so early, is there something going on?" Su Qing glanced out the window and found that it wasn't too late, but rather that dawn was breaking.
"I came... wanting to talk to you about something." Cheng Dairen hesitated, unsure of how to continue.
"What?"
"Go out for a moment." Cheng Dairen said to Xiaodie.
"What do you want to do?" Little Butterfly was never very afraid of Cheng Da Lei, but at this moment when she met Cheng Da Lei's gaze, she suddenly shut her mouth.
After all, he is the master of a camp with five thousand people, and today he has been stained with thousands of lives. Cheng Dalai's words and deeds are different from before.
The little butterfly left the room, and the door closed heavily behind him.
Su Ying looked at Cheng Dairen and asked: "How much longer until they come to kill us?"
"It'll probably take about three days or so." Cheng Dairen said with a careless tone: "The military speed of the Rong tribe is very fast."
"So... what is it you want to talk about with me?"
Cheng Daire took a deep breath and stuttered: "This... are you willing to... now... marry me?"
Su Ying was taken aback, her eyebrows furrowed in disbelief: "Now?"
"I know it's sudden, but I really need you to marry me?" Cheng Dalai said: "Of course, if you're not willing, we can talk about it again."
Su Ying was stunned for a long time and slowly said: "You're too tense, want... to relax?"
Cheng Dairen's head was full of black lines. The real reason was not good to tell Su Qing, but he really needed Su Qing to marry him now.
The mountain stronghold is about to face the mighty army of the Rong tribe, and every bit of strength is precious. What Cheng Dalai can borrow most is naturally the system of the bandit's heart.
He is now short of a top-notch figure and cannot upgrade the mountain stronghold to level three, although he has been accumulating fear value all along, but still a little short of ten million.
After thinking about it, there was only one task left to rob the village head's wife that had not been completed. The key is that the system did not give the next link task, and Cheng Dalai didn't know what to do.
But judging from common sense, the task of snatching the wife of the village head would naturally be a node on the night of the wedding, otherwise it would be difficult to complete even after having children.
So Cheng Dairen wants to complete this task ahead of time and exchange some rewards.
Moreover, Cheng Dairen could also sense Su Qing's affection for him. After all, he wasn't stupid either. If a young man and woman were mutually in love, sleeping together was a natural progression of things, a matter of course. There was no need for Cheng Dairen to be overly cautious about it.
The problem is that Su Ying has fallen in love with him, but Cheng Dairen's heart does not agree.
In short, he didn't like Su Ying.
Of course, everyone has a heart that loves beauty. Cheng Darui is not a Liu Xiahui who can remain calm and unruffled, Su Qing is absolutely beautiful and elegant, and she has indeed reached the age of marriage.
Cheng Dali had no reason to dislike Su Qing, this era of three wives and four concubines was also common, the Rong clan was even more chaotic, with all sorts of father-wife-son-inheritance things happening. Even if Cheng Dali later had three wives and four concubines, Su Qing would at most be a little jealous, but nothing would come of it.
The problem lies with Cheng Da Lei.
He came into this world and always felt a sense of detachment from it. To the world, he was indifferent.
He likes Su Ying's beauty and will drool over the beauties of this world, but can't put that bit of true feelings in his heart.
Now he wants to marry Su Ying, not because he likes her, nor is it for her beauty, but for the sake of war!
Others know how to say it, but Cheng Dairen doesn't. In his heart, he thinks that as a man, doing this is a bit beneath him.
The two sat opposite each other for a long time. Cheng Dalai couldn't make himself clear, and this matter was also hard to explain clearly. In the end, he ended up making a big fool of himself.
"Alright, consider I didn't say anything!" Cheng Dairei gritted his teeth and stood up, walking towards the door: "You'd better rest early, it's still unclear whether this matter will end in life or death."
"...I thought..." Su Qing's voice sounded behind him, causing Cheng Dairen's hand on the door to freeze: "...I've long been yours."
Cheng Dali turned his head and saw a red candle, a beautiful woman like jade, wearing a big red robe, just like a wedding dress.
When the green jade melon is broken, the young man's emotions are overturned.
Your noble character is not ashamed, turning back to be held in your husband's arms
Several times on the pillow, a pair of jade is linked together, and they have gone to many witch mountains. They have enjoyed several pieces of wind and rain, but it's hard to say one by one.
Outside the door, Xiaodie bowed her head and listened to the movement inside. Suddenly, she spat and ran far away with a red face.
In the old days, before a girl got married, there would always be an old servant woman holding up an embroidered picture, pointing at the small figures in the painting to show the bride-to-be. After all, information wasn't as readily available back then as it is now. But Su Qian didn't have this experience, and her relationship with Li Ru hadn't reached the point where they could discuss such things, so she was completely clueless about these matters.
"A single spark can ignite a prairie fire." Cheng Dairen pondered over this phrase, always feeling that it had a hint of evil to it.
Fortunately, Cheng Dairen himself understood it. Under the guidance of Fan Lao Shi and Xiao Ze Lao Shi, he had accumulated a lot of knowledge, but had not put it into practice yet. It was only then that he realized the profound meaning of "knowledge is shallow if not practiced".
Ancient people were indeed not deceiving me!
The gentle village is a hero's tomb, where the flavor is too easy to wear away the heroic spirit.
The ancients were indeed not deceiving me!
Now it's time to see if his task is completed, Cheng Dairen checks the system in his mind.
A reward for half a day of wind and rain.
Looking at the new system prompt, Cheng Dalai fell into a deep silence. There was no prompt for task completion, nor was there a prompt for task failure, but instead came a very strange system reward.
Half a day of wind and rain... Where did this reward come from? Is it that half a day has half a day of wind and rain, one day has one day of wind and rain... This system's reward is a bit too far-fetched.
"Hey......" Cheng Dairen nudged Su Qing's arm.
"What's wrong?"
Alas, knowledge gained from books is superficial after all; one must personally experience things to gain a deep understanding.
