Chapter 033: Xuanshui Pool

On this day, Zheng County, who came to the noble, ushered in another sinner.

This sinner is special.

He sat in the carriage and even had the doorman accompanying him.

This person is Peng Yue.

Liu Bang did not kill Peng Yue completely, and did not arrange a prisoner car for him, on the grounds that he was seriously ill and feared that he would die under the fatigue of the journey. At the same time, he arranged for a few of Peng Yue's trusted disciples to serve him by his side, giving him the respect that a prince and king deserved, and along the way, although the soldiers did not communicate with him, they did not deliberately humiliate or scold.

Peng Yue coughed lightly, Liu Bang's pardon finally brought him back to life. Although he was still so aggrieved in his heart, he was in front, his family and clan were behind, and they were all going to a small county town in Shu and spent more than a year there.

Peng Yue sighed helplessly, the local officials had already learned the news of his arrival, and soon handed over to the soldiers who escorted him. These officials didn't dare to come to see Peng Yue, and they didn't dare to communicate with him, Peng Yue was an anti-thief, and it was not a good thing to have anything to do with the anti-thief, not to mention, he was a special anti-thief, this was an anti-thief who had a good relationship with the emperor.

This is very troublesome, not too close, lest it be considered related to the thief, and not too harsh, so as not to be punished by the emperor.

In addition, Peng Yue's health is not good, everyone is very worried, if Peng Yue dies here, the ghost knows what the emperor's reaction will be.

Therefore, the local officials did not meet with Peng Yue, and directly arranged him in the county's post house, hoping that he would leave as soon as he could rest.

Peng Yue sat calmly in the courtyard of the post house, with steaming wine and a sumptuous meal on the desk in front of him. The soldiers did not allow him to go out, so he asked the doorman to leave the door open, and through this window he could see the world outside the door, and he looked out of the door, eating and drinking, as if his former comrades were sitting on the other side of the door.

Just when Peng Yue was remembering the old brothers who died in battle because of him, suddenly, a round head poked in from the door.

The head glanced left and right, and then stared at Peng Yue.

It was a young child, and I saw him swallow his saliva and ask, "Are you eating meat?" ”

Peng Yue nodded, and before he could speak, the child walked in directly and sat in front of him without restraint. The surrounding doormen were furious and got up one after another, but Peng Yue shook his head at them.

Now he is, in the eyes of others, a poisonous snake, no one dares to talk to himself, no one dares to take care of himself, he is still a child, he is not afraid of anything, and he does not have the same mind as an adult.

"Isn't it a waste if you can't eat so much meat alone?"

"Hahaha, you kid can talk!"

The originally angry doorman couldn't help but scream when he heard this.

Peng Yue smiled, and pushed the meat in front of him slightly in the direction of the child, and the child was really polite, grabbed the meat and began to bite it in a big bite, and there were words in his mouth while eating, "This meat is too badly cooked, there is no toughness, after all, it is a small place..."

"Kid, did you run out alone? What about the family? ”

"Don't mention it, I finally got rid of them, I don't know when I was arrested... Not... incense..."

"Why don't you eat it?"

The naughty boy looked at Peng Yue in front of him and suddenly asked.

"I can't eat it."

"What's not to eat, you're so hypocritical, you can't eat meat yet?"

"It's tasteless..."

"Then you should go out and see more, you know, I was too, all kinds of food that looked down on my own family, and then I went to wander around, Zhao Dai, Qi, Chu, Yan, there is nothing I haven't been to, I saw all kinds of people along the way."

"The meals I look down on on my daily life are luxurious meals that some people dare not think about in their lives, I have seen people who have no land and can only be sold into slavery, and I have seen people who have no food have to exchange their children for food... How nice it is to think of so many poor people, and how good it is that we can still eat meat. ”

The child's words startled the surroundings, "You kid don't brag!" I don't think you're five or six years old, how can you have traveled so many places? Selling ourselves into slavery is common, but we can exchange children for food, how can there be such a terrible thing?? ”

"Who bragged?!"

"Then tell me who is in charge of the places you just went to?"

"The Yan Dynasty should have been Liu Ruyi's main business, but Liu Ruyi was too young and acted very badly, so it was Zhou Chang and Chen Xuan, and Qi Guo was the greatest. Liu Fei, Liu Jiao of Chu State, Liu Jia of Jing State, Peng Yue of Liang State, Yingbu of Huainan State, Lu Juan of Yan State...."

The doormen were even more surprised that a child was so familiar with these things, which was already amazing.

Peng Yue also looked at the child in front of him in surprise, and said with emotion: "When I saw this child, I realized that I was really old." ”

The child continued: "I have traveled all over the world, I have experienced a lot, I was surrounded by a crowd of people, I grabbed a sword, I killed a man, so I vomited for days and nights, almost vomited to death, and I was so frightened that I did not dare to sleep at night... But it's much better now..."

Peng Yue and the doormen were dumbfounded, they were stunned when they listened, you said he was fake, and the thief he described was real, he said that all kinds of feelings after killing people, they also knew that the first time he killed someone was indeed like that, but if he was true, what he said was outrageous.

While they were stunned, the naughty boy blew and ate, and soon ate all the meat on the case.

If Peng Yue hadn't blocked it, he would have almost nibbled on the wine pot and chopsticks.

The naughty boy burped, and then said loudly: "Man, learn to be content, those who have vegetables to eat, always envy those who have meat to eat, those who have meat to eat, and those who can eat meat three times a day... Wouldn't it be nice to live your own life? ”

"I once went to the country of Qi to meet a famous man named Gai Gong and learn from him."

"You... Have you really seen Gai Gong? ”

"Of course I've seen it, I wear the same robe all year round, and I like to read, and I don't care about anything else, right?"

"That's right! Right! Right! That's him! ”

"He once told me that the reason why people are unhappy is because they pursue too many things, and those who are content are always happy!"

After blowing a big cow, the urchin was finally leaving, and when he got up to leave, Peng Yue's disciples got up to bid farewell to the young sage. The naughty boy returned the salute with a big grin, walked to the door in a chic manner, stopped again, and looked at Peng Yue.

"Don't think I'm here to eat your flesh."

"I don't like to eat this thing very much, I just saw your sad face, so I came in to persuade you, I hope you can listen to my words, next time, remember to eat meat with peace of mind!"

The urchin said this, and strode away.

"What a human being who can't be seen!"

"It turns out that there really is such a person as Ganluo!"

The doormen chatted excitedly, Peng Yue was also stunned for a long time, and finally, he said loudly: "Give me meat again!" I want to eat meat! ”

On this day, Peng Yue, who had been dull for a long time, finally had a smile on his face, and he followed these guests to eat meat and drink wine, happy, as usual, extremely happy.

And Liu Chang picked his teeth at the moment, was captured by the county lieutenant and others, and swaggered towards the county office. He smiled silly, muttering, "Gao Xian, hey, I'm Gao Xian!" ”

.......

I don't know why, as soon as Liu Chang returned to the county office, Empress Lu asked him to pack up immediately and leave Zheng County with him, but Empress Lu did not take him towards Luoyang, but walked back, which made Liu Chang very depressed, but Empress Lu sternly told him not to say anything, not to ask anything.

Liu Chang naturally agreed, and left with his mother overnight, and they walked back for a while, then stopped, waiting for tomorrow.

The next day, Peng Yue left Zheng County and was heading towards his destination, but on the way, he suddenly encountered the queen's frame.

The soldiers who escorted Peng Yue hurriedly saluted, and Peng Yue slowly got up with the support of the doorman, and then stepped forward to meet the queen alone.

Empress Lu was full of worry and asked sympathetically, "How did you become like this?" ”

Peng Yue expressed the grievances in his heart one by one, and the old tears were full of tears.

Empress Lu sighed and said, "It's wrong for the emperor to do this, you obviously didn't rebel, how can I treat you like this?" Why don't you go back with me, I'll take you to the emperor and persuade him well, and I will definitely make him change his mind and change the punishment for you. ”

Hearing Empress Lu's words, Peng Yue was extremely excited, he wiped his tears, "Your Majesty won't believe me..."

The two chatted, and when Peng Yue asked about the purpose of Lu Hou's coming, Lu Hou smiled and dragged a little guy out of the carriage.

"I and the child, I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, this child misses Your Majesty very much, crying all day, I took him, ready to go to Zhao Di to see Your Majesty, we rushed overnight, and only arrived here today... He is my favorite child, called the elder, obedient and well-behaved since childhood..."

Empress Lu hugged Liu Chang with difficulty and kissed him on the face a few times.

But at this moment, Liu Chang didn't have the heart to accept the love from his mother at all, he looked at the familiar old man in front of him, stunned and dumbfounded.

A hint of surprise also flashed in Peng Yue's eyes, and it quickly disappeared.

"The Queen... Although I have not made a mistake, but when my subordinates persuaded me to rebel, I did not be able to dissuade them, it is my fault, and now that Your Majesty has pardoned my capital crimes, and wants me to be a commoner with peace of mind, I should be content, so why bother Your Majesty again? ”

The smile on Empress Lu's face froze.

Well?? How is this different from what was planned?? What went wrong?
