XXIII. Family Tradition
………
Call...... Call......
Zhu Chongba on the bed fell asleep deeply, and the doctor said that he had already hurt his lungs, and he was angry and vomited blood, and he needed to recuperate well in the future.
Zhu Chongba, who was sleeping, was still frowning, putting one hand on his chest and pulling his wife beside the bed, Ma Xiuying, with the other.
In the house, in addition to the smell of bitter soup and smoke, there seemed to be a lingering faint smell of blood.
It's the blood on the human head.
Zhu Wu has always had a box of human heads, and his face is lifelike. Even if it's dead, you can recognize who is who at a glance.
They are all elite experts in the Haozhou army, even if they are women in the inner courtyard like Ma Xiuying, a few of them look familiar.
Such a warrior should have died in battle, but he died in the midst of intrigues.
Ma Xiuying sighed, watched Zhu Chongba fall asleep, and slowly pulled out her somewhat numb hand.
In my head, I couldn't stop pondering.
Thinking about these days, one after another sunny day thunderbolts.
Zhu Chongba was assassinated on the street, but fortunately did not die. Another Huayun secretly infiltrated Luzhou and plotted against the old Guo family.
The bloody night, if it weren't for Mao Gui's desperate rescue, I'm afraid he would have really succeeded.
One plan after another, it's so poisonous!
Poisoned to the bones.
This matter was originally determined to be Zhu Wu's so-called, but not only did he not admit it, but he also sent a box of heads and a letter.
Dao Yan designed to assassinate Xiao Wu?
The letter from Zhu Wu's side was clearly written, Daoyan and monk Yao Guangxiao secretly contacted the criminal generals of the Dingyuan Army and set up a bureau in Anqing to kill Zhu Wu.
The heads in the box were all Haozhou dead soldiers brought by Dao Yan.
Both sides are calculating with each other?
Even if it's a calculation, how can it be so coincidental and the time so close?
and Zhu Wu's letter.
Kill the heavy eight, not Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu doesn't know.
Kill Zhu Wu, how can you know how heavy eight you are?
The more Ma Xiuying thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she was full of suspicions.
But what made her most uneasy was Hua Yun's words, revenge for the old master?
She knows Hua Yun.
When he was a teenager, he began to follow Guo Zixing and was loyal to the Guo family.
He is the one who really dares to die for Guo Zixing!
Why did he say that?
Kill Chongba to avenge Guo Zixing?
What is the enmity between the father and the husband?
There is a secret!
Ma Xiuying's heart was hung up by Hua Yun's words.
"Mu ........."
I wanted to open my mouth to call someone, but I stopped, looked at Zhu Chongba, who was still sleeping, and walked outside the door.
"Mu Ying."
Ma Xiuying waved her hand, and Mu Ying, who was asleep against the wall outside the door, immediately stood up.
"Sister!"
"Be quiet, I have something for you to do!"
"Say it!"
Ma Xiuying looked left and right, and whispered softly in Mu Ying's ear.
In Mu Ying's eyes, surprise flashed.
Inside the house, Zhu Chongba opened his eyes.
Looking out the door, his brow furrowed even tighter.
……………
"I don't want to kill Chonghachi, at least not now."
A pot of wine, a few dishes.
Zhu Wu and Xi Yingzhen drank together.
Xi Yingzhen drank part of the day and night, and his eyes were already drunk and hazy at this time.
"Why?"
Zhu Wu paused with his hand holding the wine glass, why?
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and if you replace yourself with someone else, I am afraid that you will have already annexed the Haozhou army and cut him.
He is not a good person himself, and now the seat under his ass does not allow him to say anything about brotherhood.
That thing, in fact, is bullshit.
Why don't you do it yourself?
Why haven't you thought about doing it?
Is it because he is Zhu Chongba?
No......... Zhu Wu doesn't care about this, he came to this world, who can say for sure what the future will look like?
What he cares about seems to be the respect in his heart!
It was from a humble background, but he expelled Meng Yuan to restore the respect of Huaxia.
It is the respect of diligence and love for the people, and the mirror hangs high.
It is outside the Huangjue Temple, more than 20 horsemen attack the respect of the enemy camp.
It is the Haozhou Marshal's Mansion, the respect of resolutely saving each other.
In life, too many bodies are helpless. However, there are also too many things to let go of and think about.
The wine in the cup became mixed, and Zhu Wu smiled bitterly, "I still owe him two and a half lives!" ”
"Confused!"
"Stupid!"
"Hypocrisy!"
"The kindness of a woman!"
Xi Yingzhen slapped the table and scolded, "Throughout the ages, who has become a big thing and has read these little things?" I'd rather bear the people of the world, don't teach the people of the world to bear me! To do great things is to be sorry for others, and to climb up by stepping on other people's corpses. ”
"I know." Zhu Wu smiled faintly, "So, I'm getting very bad now!" ”
Hearing this, Lao Dao smiled, and shook his head like a rattle.
"You're far from it! You are on the surface, but you are always a little too hard to let go in your heart. ”
Xi Yingzhen pinched his fingers, "That's it." However, if you can't let go of it, it will be a big thing in the future. ”
As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and looked directly at Zhu Wu, "I want to live, go on." We must do everything, we must do whatever we want, we must be loyal and righteous, and we must be insidious when things come ........."
"So, you sent someone to kill Juhachi?"
Xi Yingzhen was stunned, how did he get around here? Why did he still ask?
immediately said aggrievedly, "Little Wu, what do you mean?" Still suspicious of the old way? I told you to him, and the old man helped you........."
Before he could start showing off his hard work, Zhu Wu directly interrupted him.
"I know it's you."
Zhu Wu's eyes looked at the wine and food on the table, "I also know that you picked up Huayun to go back and do it!" ”
Xi Ying really wilted, as if the wine had woken up.
Sitting on the edge of the table, he didn't dare or was embarrassed to look at Zhu Wu.
"I said that I have been bad, so bad that I don't trust others very much, and there are many eyes and ears in the army, and many things can't be hidden from me."
"Old way......... It is also for us to be far away, and it is better to kill the soldiers without bloodshed, than to fight tens of thousands of people in the future! ”
Xi Yingzhen smiled wryly.
Zhu Wu raised his gaze and seemed to be smiling, "Let's not talk about these things first, just say that you are carrying these small actions behind my back." ”
Zhu Wu leaned forward and squinted his eyes, "Use the fire gun in private, and unite with my generals in private to kill people and set fire!" You say, if I were the kind of villain who would rather be the one in your mouth, would I be the first to kill you now? Or do you still smile, and when you are useless in the future, you will kill your whole family? ”
Plop, plop!
Xi Yingzhen heard his own heartbeat.
Then, all of a sudden, he became angry, really angry.
"Okay, Zhu Xiaowu, you can do the math yourself. Since you met, how much has Lao Dao helped you? The gunpowder has been prepared for you, the cannon has been built for you, and the craftsman's workshop has been built for you! If you talk like this, you will lose your conscience! ”
"It's you who makes me have no conscience, and it's you who makes me have a conscience!" Zhu Wuyi spread his hands, "You've said all the words!" ”
"Lao Tzu ........."
Xi Yingzhen saw the banter on Zhu Wu's face, turned his anger into joy, and scolded with a smile, "What Lao Tzu said about you to others, not to me." ”
Zhu Wu didn't smile, and said, "Old Dao, this is the first and last time, okay?" Saying that, looking out of the window, "I have lost a lot of people along the way, and I don't want to lose you, Lao Dao." ”
There is endless bitterness in these words, helplessness and even grievances.
Xi Yingzhen nodded, "Don't worry, there will be no next time!" ”
"It's a deal!" Zhu Wu picked up his wine glass.
"When did Dao Ye not speak?" Xi Yingzhen gave a roll of his eyes, and began to shout drunken again, "Let me tell you, Zhu Chongba must know about Dao Yan harming you." ”
Zhu Wu took a small bite of food and didn't raise his head, "I know, he probably also cut first and then played." ”
"But his heart is harder than yours........."
"Do you want to keep that head?"
Zhu Wu didn't want to dwell on this issue and jumped away from the topic.
Xi Yingzhen smiled, "It's useful." ”
"What's the use?"
"Give a gift!"
Zhu Wu put down his chopsticks, "You are ruthless enough, after all, I called you Master." ”
Wow......
Xi Yingzhen cleaned his wine glass and didn't speak.
"Daddy!"
There was a shout outside, Zhu Yu's voice, "Military report!" ”
"Don't drink anymore!"
Zhu Wu threw down the wine glass, clapped his hands and stood up, put on his fur coat and walked out.
Xi Yingzhen didn't stop him, and he was still drinking there.
Outside the door, Zhu Yu and Mao Xiao's little brother looked at each other beautifully and smiled.
They are all children of the fake camp, they have known each other for a long time, and they are the most eye-catching in the Wuyang camp, one of them follows Zhu Wu, and this one is taken by Xi Laodao.
Eat well and dress well, the two children look at it and are in good spirits and festive.
Both brothers are wearing new clothes, and it's almost the New Year. According to Zhu Wu's custom, each of these children has a dress and a few copper coins at home.
"Daddy!"
Seeing Zhu Wu, Mao Xiang and Zhu Yu knelt down to say hello.
"It's high again!"
Zhu Wu touched Mao Xiang's head and said with a smile, "I heard that you are the fastest learner in the academy?" ”
"It's all well taught by the gentleman." Mao Xiang's answer couldn't be faulted.
The fake camp, divided into several schools. The veteran with the best qualifications, and the others are all carried by ordinary Mr. and Zhu Wu's personal soldiers.
"Study hard, you will give you New Year's money!"
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Go, go see Lao Dao, don't let him drink, a handful of years old soaked in the wine vat."
"Huh!"
Mao Xiao agreed, turned his head and went into the house.
Zhu Wu rubbed Zhu Yu's head and played a brain melon.
"What kind of military newspaper? Who sent it? ”
Zhu Yu grinned, and his snot was still sucking, "Uncle Zhu Jiu sent it." ”
Zhu Jiu, the offspring of the daughter-in-law's bleeding on the wedding night.
This is a joke that Dingyuanjun can never tell enough, and there is no one who does not laugh when he mentions it.
However, Zhu Wu couldn't laugh now.
Zhu Jiu, that stupid boy. admired Zhu Wu's surname Zhu, and he fought to the death several times in the Dingyuan army, and he was there every time.
One wound, one work.
Now, it is the palm print of Zhu Wuzhongjun, and on the bright side, he is the personal soldier under the battle banner of Zhu Wuzhong.
Actually, it was Zhu Wu who secretly developed, the leader of the people in blue.
"Give it to me!"
Zhu Wu stretched out his hand, and a sealed letter was handed to him.
He was just about to open it, when there was a complaint from Mao Xiao in the room behind him.
"Grandpa, you've drunk so much!"
Zhu Wu smiled and opened the secret letter.
Damn, the old Taoist is big, grandpa!
Wait! Wrong!
Zhu Wu looked back at the old house, what do you mean by an old bastard? These children call Lao Tzu Daddy, and you call Grandpa?
Co-author?
You are taking advantage of Lao Tzu!
"Ahem! Cough! ”
There was a cough in the room, and Xi Yingzhen's voice said, "Okay, listen to you, don't drink." ”
After saying that, there was another cough.
His hair is gray!
Thinking that Xi Ying was really full of white hair, Zhu Wu withdrew his gaze.
It's just a joke, don't worry about it.
Then, while walking, look at the secret letter in your hand.
"Zhu Chongba has woken up and can move on the ground, but the doctor said that he will recuperate for a few months.
The Luzhou army was purged, Tang He didn't care about the indiscriminate, and Guo Zixing's old people were all secretly beheaded. ”
Seeing this, Zhu Wu sneered, clean? If you can't be trusted, your head will fall to the ground!
"On the bloody night in Luzhou, although Hua Yun did not kill Zhu Chongba, Guo Zixing's old department set fire to the city and burned the grain and grass warehouse.
Luzhou, lack of food! ”
Well?
Zhu Wu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he burned the grain depot? Lack of food in Luzhou?
Before Zhu Chong beat Luzhou, there were more than 50,000 horses, but now there are only more, and it is impossible to have less.
There are still tens of thousands of people in Luzhou, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians under his rule.
Short on food? He can't occupy Luzhou for long!
What's next?
Where to go?
Read on.
"Roughly calculated, the grain in the city is less than two months!"
Zhu Wu calculated in his heart, that is, the New Year is over, and spring is coming.
Regardless of whether the imperial court army will come next year or not, the two Huai will definitely not stop.
There is a line at the end of the letter.
"Miss Ma is getting more and more pregnant, and the midwife says it's a male baby......"
What are you talking about?
Zhu Wu gritted his back molars, and the expression on his face was like eating half a dead fly.
How ugly it is, how ugly it is!
I'm alone on my side.
Zhu Chongba is about to become a father.
They all say that their lives are good, and Zhu Chongba is good fate!
Now, everything is his.
Guo Zixing really lost his daughter and lost his soldiers!
Zhu Wu sneered, but somehow he suddenly remembered Guo Zixing in the coffin.
The sneer froze.
Zhu Wu squinted his eyes, "This matter, Brother Chong is not kind!" ”
Then, my heart thumped again.
If Sister Xiuying knows in the future, how will she face it?
One point is Zhu Chongba.
On one side is .........
Zhu Wu shook his head and walked forward slowly.
"I hurt your sister, I take my daughter to compensate you ........."
Who are you fooling?
Although Zhu Wu didn't believe it, Guo Zixing's words still popped up again.
"At that time, I really treated her as a sister?"
Zhu Wu frowned.
"At the beginning, the city of Haozhou asked her to come, Guo Zixing will definitely give it?"
Footsteps stopped, and snowflakes fell in the sky. Gradually, the ground turned white.
"What if you give it to me? How to face it? Guo Zixing and I can only live one, and it's not her who is uncomfortable? ”
"Let's look forward to the past."
Zhu Wu tightened the collar of his fur coat, turned around and smiled, "Boy, have you ever had a snowball fight?" ”
"Why not, I fight with my brothers in the village every year in my hometown!" Zhu Yu laughed and scratched his head, "But Dad, this snow is not as thick as a cake, how can you fight?" ”
Zhu Wu smiled evilly, "I'll teach you!" ”
Zhu Yu was full of interest and came to life, "Eh! ”
"Stand still!"
Zhu Wu picked off Zhu Yu's head and let his body slip straight to the ground.
Zhu Yu doesn't know anything, it's beautiful to suck his nose!
The sunflower point acumen last time made him out of the limelight for a long time.
Lan Yu made him a little stunned, of course, Lan Yu also taught him by the way, and the thirty-six roads killed his legs.
The tricks are deadly, especially the yin feet, which is said to be a mastery taught to Lan Yu by his father.
The family is passed down from school, and the male is not passed on to the female.
Therefore, even if he was kicked by Lan Yu, his ass was swollen.
Zhu Yu didn't care.
I can really learn things!
Today, what did Dad teach?
"Stand still!"
Zhu Wu shouted with a smile?
"Okay......"
Zhu Yugang finished shouting.
Zhu Wu stumbled, and Zhu Yu fell down with a chirp.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Wu rolled Zhu Yu on the ground like a ball.
Zhu Yu's body was covered with white snow.
In the snow, the poor baby cried.
"Dad, this is my new clothes?"
…………
The two-in-one chapter, the plane just landed.
The plane is delayed.
When I arrived in Guangzhou, there were more beautiful people.
Eat fried noodles, bake some oysters and drink beer first.
Everyone, pretty boys, mighty and domineering.
What will never fall............
