Chapter 163 Faint move
The county magistrate was a short fat man. As soon as he entered the tent, his eyes quickly turned around and he accurately bowed to Luo Xi: "Xu Yan, the county magistrate of Nanyue County, greets the head of Luo."
The attitude can be said to be very good.
"Hmph, the weasel pays a New Year's visit to the chicken, it has no good intentions." Qi Lei muttered softly, then stared at Xu Yan with wide eyes.
Seeing this, Le Zheng Feiyuan looked over, and Qi Lei then lowered his head and stopped talking.
Luo Xi looked him up and down before saying calmly, "Xu Yan, I haven't heard of you. What's the matter?"
An embarrassed look instantly appeared on Xu Yan's face. This woman was too disrespectful to him, but he remembered the task given to him by the adults this time.
He had no choice but to continue: "It is said that the head of Luo is not only beautiful, but also gentle, kind, quiet and dignified. She is a good woman who is suitable for a family."
Who is this idiot talking about?
Everyone in the tent had strange expressions on their faces, and some of them even secretly looked at Luo Xi, comparing her with these words.
Good-looking? Nothing wrong with that.
Gentle and kind? Never mind, the ninth floor master is more suitable for this word than her.
Demure and dignified? When they learned this word before, did the teacher explain it wrongly or did they understand it wrongly?
As for being suitable for family and home, perhaps this Xu Juncheng feels that being able to fight and kill is more suitable for family. It's hard to say, really hard to say.
"Stop talking nonsense." Luo Xi glanced over impatiently, his eyes sharp and cold.
Xu Yan: "..."
I shuddered and realized that I was praising the wrong thing. This has nothing to do with gentleness or dignity.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It's like this. I heard that Master Luo is still unmarried. Our Lord Du has admired you for a long time, so today he specially asked me to come and propose marriage."
"???!!!"
The entire tent suddenly became eerily quiet.
The jaws of several generals almost dropped to the ground, and their eyes were wide open.
Does this guy know what he's talking about?
Propose marriage?
What a joke.
Qi Lei sneered: "Have all the people in your county governor's office gone mad? You are so bold to say that you want to propose marriage."
"Do you want me to remind you that we have you all surrounded now, and we are just waiting for Du Hong and you villains to die. You are still proposing marriage? Humph!"
"You..." Xu Yan almost collapsed after being cursed in front of him. His chest rose and fell violently, and it took him a while to calm down.
"General Qi, they say there are no eternal enemies. Why do you have to say it so harshly?"
"Our county governor said that as long as Lady Luo marries him and hands over the plague prescription, he will ask the court to remove everyone in Chaoyang Villa from their status as traitors."
He shouted to the back: "Carry it in."
Soon, boxes were carried into the tent one after another, filling it up completely. The oversized red flower on top was extremely eye-catching.
Xu Yan smiled and said, "Madam Luo, this is the betrothal gift from the master. Please take a look."
Luo Xi: "..."
"Hahaha--"
She stood up with a big laugh, circled around Xu Yan twice, and said wantonly: "Who told you that we want to get rid of our identity as traitors, huh?"
"We love to be rebels and bandits, and we like to be successful. But now we have pushed you to the point where you are at the end of your rope."
"As a human being, it's better not to be so self-righteous, otherwise... you will be embarrassed!"
Xu Yan blushed: "I don't believe that there is anyone who would not want to be a good citizen but would rather be a bandit."
He turned his head and looked at Le Zheng Feiyuan: "General Le Zheng, you used to be a general in the imperial court. Don't you want to restore the reputation of the Le Zheng family and restore your official position?"
He thought he would see Le Zheng Feiyuan's excited and grateful expression, but...
Le Zheng Feiyuan refused without even thinking about it. He looked up at Luo Xi and smiled gently and calmly: "The Le Zheng family has found its true home."
"So, what if they are bandits? What if they are rebels?"
Xu Yan was really panicking now. He trotted to Luo Xi and said, "Master Luo, do you want to reconsider this?"
He began to talk about the benefits of marrying Du Hong, and the difficulties of being a bandit and being unpopular with the world.
"Hmm~" Luo Xi stared at him for two seconds: "Okay, if Du Hong is willing to marry into our family and marry my Cuihua, I will help you cure the plague."
Enter, marry into the wife's family?
It's not impossible. Xu Yan bit his lip and said, "No matter what, as long as there is hope, it's fine. But... He looked at Luo Xi: "Madam Luo, who is Cuihua?"
"Cuihua?" Luo Xi sat back, leaned lazily against the back of the chair, and smiled brightly: "It's a sow raised in my villa. I think Du Hong and it are a good match."
Qi Lei and the others were silent for a while, then burst into laughter: "Haha, yes, they are indeed a good match."
Le Zheng Feiyuan couldn't help laughing and raised his hand to press down the corners of his mouth that kept turning up.
Xu Yan: “…”
"Are you kidding me?" His whole face turned pale in an instant.
"Yes, I was just teasing you, what's wrong?" Luo Xi stood up again and walked step by step to Xu Yan.
"Go tell Du Hong that he can either agree or wait to die!"
"You..." Xu Yan pointed at Luo Xi, shaking all over: "That's a pig, how could you do this."
"Then you just wait for death." Luo Xi lost his patience and without giving him another look, he asked the soldiers outside to drive the men out. As for the betrothal gift, it would naturally be theirs once it was delivered to them.
"It seems that the situation with Du Hong is not optimistic. He can even come up with such a stupid move. An old man who has been used by countless women still wants to marry you. It's simply a fantasy." Qi Lei rubbed his hands with joy.
"That's good now. He died of illness on his own without us having to do anything."
"Do you think Du Hong will... agree?" a general asked tentatively.
Qi Lei's eyes almost popped out: "No way, that's a pig."
After this incident, Luo Xi's siege of the city became even tighter, and not even a fly could fly through.
"Waste! Waste!" From that day on, Du Hong in the County Magistrate's Mansion never stopped cursing, and he smashed the furnishings in the house to pieces.
But no matter how much he was scolded, it couldn't stop his condition from getting worse.
After the beginning of spring, the weather was getting hotter day by day, and Du Hong was bitten by rats all over his body. Pustules on his body popped up one by one, then burst, and then popped up again. He looked smelly and disgusting.
The Chief Secretary dragged his equally weak body and said carefully: "Sir, how about we agree..."
"Bang——" Before he could finish his words, a tea lid hit him on the head.
"You are looking for death. I would rather die of illness than agree to such a ridiculous thing." Du Hong shouted loudly: "Get out, get out!"
