There was only one messenger of Tokhtar.

looks like a 20-something-year-old Han Confucian student.

Zhu Chongba stood outside the envoy's room and looked through the crack in the window.

This Confucian scholar was sitting precariously, quite a bit of the smell of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and his face did not change color.

However, under the placket, the faintly trembling legs betrayed him.

This, after all, is a den of thieves.

Zhu Chongba, after all, is also a famous thief in the world.

For example, the four anti-thieves are in the limelight today, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Huaixi Erzhu. Zhu Chongba's forces are ranked last, but he is also a thief who kills people and is extremely brutal.

To say that you are not afraid is false.

"It's him, surnamed Luo!"

Tang He whispered in Zhu Chongba's ear.

Zhu Chongba nodded, Nunu mouthed.

On the side, the soldier stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

Squeak!

The Confucian scholar who was sitting in the door immediately stood up.

At the door, a burly man came in in a hurry, not angry and arrogant.

"We are Zhu Chongba, you~~ You are the envoy of the prime minister?"

Zhu Chongba stood in front of the Confucian student, his burly body was the same as a mountain, completely wrapping the somewhat thin body of the Confucian in his shadow.

Confucius felt that his throat and eyes were a little dry, and he was so nervous that it was difficult to happen. Quickly swallowed his saliva and tidied up his clothes.

Bai said, "In Xia Luo Guanzhong, I have seen Mr. Zhu!" ”

The embarrassment of Confucianism, Zhu Chongba looked at Ahzi's eyes.

This person seems to be a little cowardly, but his courage is okay, stronger than those dog officials who are greedy for life and afraid of death after breaking the city.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba smiled, "Sir, don't be afraid, although we are thieves for breakfast, we are also reasonable people, you are the messenger, let's treat each other politely and sit." ”

Luo Guanzhong sat down nervously, and before he could speak, he heard Zhu Chongba ask again.

"Have you eaten?"

"This~~~" Luo Guanzhong was stunned when asked, is this a family routine? When you come up, you ask me if I've eaten?

"Used~~used~~Goo~~"

Luo Guanzhong was embarrassed, and just wanted to say that he had used it, but his stomach screamed angrily.

He came from afar, galloped all the way with his entourage, and the beginning was fine, the closer he got to Luzhou, the more apprehensive he was, and he didn't know how to eat, and he couldn't eat it.

Zhu Chongba smiled and told others, "Go, tell the kitchen to add meat and eggs to this gentleman, quickly!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Luo Guanzhong, "Listen to Mr. Accent is a northerner, eat noodles to suit your taste!" We don't have anything to eat in this army, I've wronged you! ”

"It's a break!"

Zhu Chongba's behavior made Luo Guan Center a lot more stable, and at the same time, he also had a good impression.

This man is also a person who knows the number of etiquette, and he doesn't seem to be so vicious.

"What is the official position of the gentleman now?" Zhu Chongba asked again.

Luo Guanzhong hesitated, "Under the cloth, a cloth coat, a white body, has never been lifted and has not been able to enter the office." ”

White body? The messenger of detachment is actually a white body?

Zhu Chongba frowned slightly.

"Please take charge of Zhu to atone for his sins, and he is not the messenger chosen by the prime minister. The prime minister's handwritten letter was sent to Jiangnan, and he was a staff member in Hangzhou Daru Huachi Mansion, so he was appointed to come! ”

"It's a big turn!"

Zhu Chongba smiled, "Hangzhou? That's close to our brothers, Xiao Wu's territory! ”

Zhu Wu?

There was a sudden slap in the center of Luo Guan.

Your brother?

It's not a rumor, haven't you two turned against each other?

I heard Zhu Chongba say again, "There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, according to Xiao Wu's temperament, the first step to free up my hands is to go to your side." ”

Luo Guanzhong groaned and said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to go!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Chongba listened.

"The prime minister has mobilized soldiers and horses from all provinces, millions of them, and is ready to exterminate Zhu Wu in the spring."

Luo Guanzhong looked at Zhu Chongba's eyes and said, "It's not a million-dollar army. The Shandong garrison in Liaodong, Henan is encircling and suppressing Liu Futong's soldiers and horses. There is also the withdrawal of the southern elite who fought Xu Shouhui in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the officers and troops in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas are also being assembled.

Zhu Wu, there are enemies on all sides, and there is no way back! ”

"Shhh

Zhu Chongba gasped.

An army of millions, the enemy on the back.

Little Five, can you block it?

The imperial court, this is a bloody investment, and it is necessary to get rid of the little five and then quickly!

Wait, why is he talking to us about this? He's coming to recruit An?

Zhu Chongba thought for a while, "Mr. is coming to recruit An?" What about the handwriting of the prime minister? ”

There's a door!

He was a little panicked!

Luo Guanzhong's kung fu in observing words and emotions is first-class, and there are many calm groups in his heart.

He smiled and pointed down his head, "Handbook, here!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Chongba was a little puzzled, he continued to smile and said, "The stakes are very high, and the road is not very smooth, so it can only be remembered in my mind and cannot be left in words." ”

"Then you say, let's listen!"

"The gist of the prime minister is that there are four antis in the world, Liu Xu and Zhu Zhong, only you, Mr. Zhu, are excusable in the eyes of the imperial court.

Indeed, you were forced by your livelihood to become a thief, not born to rebel. did not resist the king, let alone call him a lonely widow.

If you find your way back, the court is willing to take the blame. And canonize you as a hereditary ten thousand households, the town of Luzhou, and enjoy the glory and wealth forever! ”

Zhu Chongba smiled.

Pardonable?

Lost?

That is to say, Lao Tzu is the smallest and most inconspicuous of these four forces, and it is best to win over.

Resist the king? You haven't come to kill us, how can you resist?

Calling a lonely person? We're not a mallet, and we're the king?

Slowly, Zhu Chongba stopped smiling and asked word by word, "What about the conditions?" ”

The words are cold and murderous.

Luo Guanzhong shivered and pretended to be calm.

"Be the pioneer of the king, kill Zhu Wu!"

Luo Guanzhong's palms were sweating for no reason, "For the vanguard of the imperial army, cooperate with the prime minister to exterminate Zhu Wu and pacify the southeast."

After that, he turned his troops and horses, went straight to Liu Futong's back, and pacified Henan! ”

"Take off, but I also look up to our Zhu Chongba!"

Zhu Chongba sneered.

When Lao Tzu is a fool?

Let's not talk about whether it can be done, after these two battles, how many soldiers and horses can Lao Tzu have left?

Destroy others, when Lao Tzu's life and death are not pinched in his hands?

Seeing that Zhu Chongba didn't speak, Luo Guanzhong thought that he was thinking in his heart, and persuaded him.

"What Chief Manager Zhu asks for is nothing more than a rich future, Yongzhen Luzhou, hereditary ten thousand households, the seal of the Son of Heaven, and the name in history, isn't it better than now?"

Luo Guanzhong sighed and continued, "Looking at the general manager is also a sensible person, throughout the ages, how many people have rebelled and ended well?" Don't make a mistake about yourself, steward!

Moreover, the Great Yuan soldiers are strong and strong, and millions of lions are coming. Don't think about yourself, but also think about future generations!

The rebellion is temporary, and the canonization of the imperial court is eternal! ”

Zhu Chongba still sneered.

"The manager, the prince of heaven and earth, since ancient times, has learned literary and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's house~~~"

Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Zhu Chongba.

"Sell to him? Give him the Tartar Emperor as a minion. Let's Zhu Chongba, not so cowardly! ”

"This~~~"

It was fine just now, why did you suddenly turn your face.

Luo Guanzhong froze, embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Zhu Chongba continued to sneer and said, "We haven't read any books, but we know that when the emperor is an emperor, he should pay attention to what the people are precious and the monarch is light." But what about your family's Meng Yuan Tianzi? For more than 100 years, she has regarded us and other southerners as pigs and dogs, as ants, and even as slaves of her mother herding horses!

We are people, not his dogs! ”

As he spoke, he stood up.

Luo Guanzhong was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair.

At this time, a voice came from outside.

"Dashuai, the face is ready!"

"Bring it in!"

Zhu Chongba calmed the anger in his heart, "Sir, we're not rushing at you, we're rough people and straight talking." ”

While speaking, noodles must have come in.

But Luo Guanzhong didn't have the slightest intention of eating.

The white wide noodles are delicate and soft, and they are delicious to look at.

There are large pieces of fat and lean meat on top, and two round and round eggs.

"Sir!"

Looking at the noodles, Zhu Chongba said slowly, "You haven't been hungry!" We have never seen such a face before Zhu Chong was eighty-eight years old! But our Zhu family has been farming for generations, no matter how windy or rainy, the work in the field has not fallen.

Our father, our grandfather, our grandfather, have been cattle and horses in the field all their lives, and they have exhausted themselves to death for food.

But until we died, we had never eaten such good noodles.

What about the grain? What about the grain we grow? ”

Zhu Chongba turned his head and looked at Luo Guanzhong with a wry smile, "Let the emperor and the government snatch the grain." When my father starved to death, he even snatched the grain. You're right, we rebelled because we couldn't survive.

But have you thought about it, why can't we live? There are thousands of hard-working farmers like our Zhu family, why can't they survive? ”

Luo Guanzhong was silent.

"Zhao'an? We thank him, but we don't accept it! ”

Zhu Chongba pinched the joints in his hands, "From the first day we took the knife, we swore that we would be inseparable from this dog court."

We want to vent our anger for our dead relatives, blind dates, and all the people in this world who were starved to death and bullied to death.

Surrender?

We're sorry for our ancestors!

We're sorry for my starving father!

From the day we got the knife, we didn't think about what would happen to us! ”

Luo Guanzhong was stunned.

"But if you are not recruited, as soon as the prime minister's army arrives, I'm afraid I'll even be you~~~"

"Just come on!"

Zhu Chongba smiled proudly, "If you're afraid of death, we won't rebel." ”

"An army of millions, Zhu Wu can't bear it, and you can't carry it either.

"Then let's carry it with Xiao Wu!"

"Aren't you already ~~~"

"Broken?"

Zhu Chongba smiled and looked at Luo Guanzhong, "Sir, you are a scholar, I don't know the friendship of our poor buddies." The matter between us and Xiao Wu is our private matter. But killing the Tartars and opposing the Yuan is a matter for the poor people in the world. If outsiders want to bully us, our brothers will cut him with a knife. ”

With that, he turned around and went out.

"Sir, eat noodles, rest early after eating, and tomorrow we will send someone to take Mr. around the city."

went out, Tang He followed behind Zhu Chongba.

"Chongba, don't recruit An, let's not say that!"

"It's all cut, and you can't talk about it! If you don't say it, we're not rebelling? ”

"That's not what I meant!"

Tang He hurriedly said, "If we don't agree, we can't be so straightforward, there is no room for reversal at all!" ”

"From the day our father starved to death, there was no room for it!"

Zhu Chongba stood still and smiled, "Brother, I have been a dog in the dog court for several lifetimes." Now we have to be human beings, upright people! ”
