The feast ended, each with his own thoughts.

Zhu Wu felt that he hadn't drunk much, but Guo Zixing seemed to be drunk. It wasn't until I returned to the inner house that I understood, pretending.

"Little Five, do you know, why am I pretending to be drunk?" There were only the two of them in the room, Guo Zixing asked with a sip of tea.

"Because of Mr. Guan?"

Zhu Wu thought about it, there was only this possibility, when an impatient guest couldn't socialize, pretending to be drunk was the best choice.

"The villain has come to the door!" Guo Zixing snorted coldly, and asked again, "If you don't come sooner or later, but we won the battle, Liu Dashuai is good enough!" ”

Zhu Wu asked tentatively, "Do you want us to enter Luzhou?" ”

Thinking about it, there is only this possibility, Liu Futong began to besiege Luzhou from the beginning of spring, Liu Dashuai's subordinates have been fighting since last year, and they have fought in a row, how can the veteran soldiers of the division be tired and capture the important town of Luzhou.

At this time, he sent an envoy over, he should have taken a fancy to the new force on the Haozhou side, and wanted Guo Zixing to join forces with him.

Guo Zixing said with a smile, "After going out for more than a month, Xiao Wu has grown!" Yes, that's what they're doing! ”

"I want to blind his heart!" Zhu Wu said with a smile, "How can our soldiers and horses in Haozhou help him sell his life, besides, whether the defeat of Luzhou belongs to him Liu Dashuai or to his father-in-law!" ”

"Naturally, he is the head of the red scarf in the world!" Guo Zixing sneered again and again, "You don't know a lot of things here, when I entered the Ming Sect, I respected Liu Futong and Han Shantong after the incident. Now they want to use this to take care of me, dreaming! ”

Zhu Wu really doesn't know about this, and he hasn't understood why Guo Zixing wants to give himself a so-called righteous name. They are all rebels, why is he one level higher?

"Let's just hang him, it's good to drink, maybe one day he will go back in a panic."

Guo Zixing drank saliva again, "Xiao Wu, how many soldiers have you trained in Dingyuan?" ”

"Three thousand and five soldiers can fight!" Zhu Wu was sloppy and said bitterly, "Dingyuan City is small, the supply of grain and grass can't be supplied, and it can't support too many people!" ”

"Too little!" Guo Zixing said, "You, you are too soft-hearted and too kind." What do you do when you are a soldier, you can eat two meals a day and starve to death. Before the battle, give a full meal and a knife will be over. In this troubled world, are you afraid that no one will sell your life if you have food and land? ”

"What my father-in-law taught me is that Xiao Wu will recruit troops immediately when he returns to Dingyuan!" Zhu Wuxin said, I didn't dare to make more moves before, because I was afraid that you would be suspicious again, but now that I have you, I can recruit as many tricks as I can when I go back.

"Only with soldiers can you have courage!" Guo Zixing sighed, "In this chaotic world now, maybe we can go to the step we didn't dare to think of before!" ”

You can't go, Zhu Wu said secretly in his heart. People decide their heads with their buttocks, they want to eat when they are hungry, and they want to think about their daughter-in-law when they are full. If you have money, you want to have power, and if you have power, you want to ascend to the sky.

Before going to bed at night, Zhu Wu lay on the bed and wondered how far he could go.

When I was most at a loss, I met Zhu Chongba, and I wanted to hug my thighs, but my thighs were not formed. Thinking about continuing to boil, but by mistake he became Guo Zixing's subordinate, one step ahead of Zhu Chongba.

Although he is fledgling, he still has to listen to Guo Dashuai. But he has more people than him, officials are higher than him, and the situation is better than him.

It is impossible to say that you are not careful, especially after occupying Dingyuan and tasting the taste of power. In the dead of night, Zhu Wu will also have sweet dreams, whether he can replace him if he goes on like this.

But reality tells him that now is not the time to dream, now he can only take one step at a time, grow slowly and steadily, and everything has a process.

In this way, Zhu Wu fell asleep in a daze.

………

He slept with someone but didn't, Zhu Chongba was pulled by the soup and dead, made some side dishes with wine, and continued to drink in the soup and the place where he lived.

"Drink less, Ming'er still has something to do!" Zhu Chongba looked at the soup and cup after cup, and said with seven points of drunkenness.

"I'm happy!" Tang He said with a smile, "Chongba, you are getting ahead now, and it has only been a long time since you can drink at the same table with the handsome, and you have given your name." Not to mention that now that you are the commander of the right army, and you are in charge of thousands of brothers, you don't look at the old men around Dashuai, your eyes are green! ”

Zhu Chongba smiled lightly, "This is all handsome love." ”

"Maybe one day the handsome will be happy, and you can be like Zhu Xiaowu, leading the troops to occupy a city alone. In this world, a soldier is a king, maybe one day you can be the chief manager or something......"

"Nonsense, if you drink too much, you will sleep, what nonsense!" Zhu Chongba scolded, "We are all Dashuai's subordinates, and Dashuai is pointing where to fight." Besides, Dingyuan was beaten by Xiao Wu, what does it have to do with the unhappiness of the big handsome Gao? ”

"I'm just not convinced!" Tang He argued, "Without our brother's night attack on the official army, he Zhu Xiaowu only has the life to defend the city!" In other words, we can also occupy Dingyuan. He has joined the army until now, what credit does he have? It's just a sweet mouth, fooling a good dad out! ”

"Tang He, the more you talk about it, the more you lose it!" Zhu Chongba was really angry, "Xiao Wu is our brother, how can you say that!" He didn't recruit you, he didn't mess with you. We know that you have been cautious and small, but I didn't expect that now that you are a handful of years, not only are you cautious, but you can't tolerate people! ”

"I just don't accept it, why is he a little beggar who is suddenly stronger than me, why can he press on your head?" Tang He continued, "While letting you be a soldier in his camp, while shouting at the heavy starling, this kid is the most insidious. ”

"Let's not listen to your nonsense, let's go!"

Zhu Chongba was angry and wanted to leave, but was suddenly pulled by Tang He's sleeve, "Chongba, I have an idea, I didn't let you cover Zhu Wu!" ”

Zhu Chongba didn't move, so he listened to Tang He continue, "Isn't he a handsome son?" You can too! ”

"Let's recognize our father too!" Zhu Chongba smiled angrily.

"You can recognize him as your father-in-law!" Tang He said with a smile, "The handsome couple treats Ma Xiuying as their own, better than their own own, if you marry him, isn't it cheaper than Zhu Xiaowu's son, how much closer?" ”

"Get out of the way!" Zhu Chongba kicked Tang He, "Who are you taking our Zhu Chongba?" Aren't you a bad man? Tang and Ah Tang He, do you know why you are still a thousand households? Just because you ponder these crooked ways all day long, you are really blind to your martial arts. ”

After speaking, he walked away without looking back and scolding.

………

On the afternoon of the second day, Guo Dashuai's wife, Zhang, entered the city under the escort of a team of personal soldiers.

The marshal's mansion has long been cleaned up, Ma Xiuying took Zhu Wu and Lian'er, and Xiu'er greeted her at the second gate.

"Little Wu, you came empty-handed?" Zhu Wu was playing on the side with Xiu'er in his arms, Ma Xiuying watched for a long time and asked.

"Huh?" Zhu Wu was a little puzzled, "Do you need to bring anything?" ”

"Last time, I told you that my stepmother was coming and asked you to prepare a meeting gift, did you forget?"

Zhu Wuyi patted his head, "Oh, I forgot about this, what does my stepmother like, I'll go to Zhang Luo!" ”

It was late, and before Ma Xiuying could speak, Guo Zixing's voice of laughter came from outside the door.

Then, a well-maintained woman in her forties came in, dressed in luxury, and looked like a person who loved beauty and clothes.

"Mother!" Ma Xiuying bowed.

This is Guo Zixing's wife, she is followed by a young man in his twenties, probably Guo Zixing's parent-child Guo Tianxu.

"Xiuying, I think of my mother." Zhang's saved Ma Xiuying and shed tears, "I am looking forward to it day and night these days, I am afraid that you will have a good one." As he spoke, he glared at Guo Zixing, "Fighting is your father's business, why don't you send your daughter to me." ”

"Mother, it's good for me to follow my father, don't you see that we are a family reunion!" Ma Xiuying smiled, "Little Wu, come over and kowtow to your mother!" ”

If you don't say that I will make a military salute, I will be fooled, and now I have to kowtow, Lao Tzu......

Zhu Wu was helpless, so he could only smile and kowtow to say hello, "Xiao Wu has seen his stepmother!" ”

"You're Little Five, get up!" Zhang Shi looked at Zhu Wu and said with a smile, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Twenty!" Zhu Wu replied.

"One year older than Tianxu!" Zhang pointed to Tianxu behind him and said, "This is your second brother, Tianxu!" ”

"Second brother!" Zhu Wu greeted with a smile again.

But the son's own son just nodded with a smile, and he didn't even call Brother Sheng.

Zhu Wu was so aggrieved that he couldn't help but think of a sentence in his heart, which man had never pretended to be a grandson before becoming famous.

Zhang saw Guo Lian'er and Xiu'er again, and said with a smile, "Who are these two girls?" ”

"Xiao Wu's sister, he is still too young, and he can only be raised in our house in every family!" Ma Xiuying smiled, "Xiu'er, call Mrs." ”

The little girl Xiu'er tilted her head, "Hello madam!" ”

Guo Lian'er also stepped forward to pay a visit, and then a group of people entered the inner house, and the family prepared wine and food to catch the wind.

One table for men and one table for women.

Everyone talked and laughed, but they were happy, but whether it was a real smile or a fake smile, only Zhu Wu himself knew.

At this time, a personal soldier came in with two gift boxes and said, "Marshal, Tang Qianhu and the commander of the right army heard that the lady and the son were here, and sent two gift boxes. ”

Zhu Wu's ears moved, didn't the commander of the right army weigh the starling, what kind of gift did they give?

"Bring it up!"

After Zhang finished speaking, the soldiers took the gift boxes, and the two gift boxes were not small, and the contents seemed to be quite heavy.

"Open!"

Ma Xiuying listened to Zhang's words, opened the first gift box, and just opened it, she heard Zhang's exclaim,

"Oh, that's too expensive!"

A snow-white jade Buddha, at first glance, is a priceless thing, and it looks like he can't put it down. Zhu Wu suddenly remembered that someone had said in private that Zhang's love for money.

"What about them, tell them to come in!" After Guo Zixing saw it clearly, he suddenly said angrily. Tang He defected to him before he started the army, although he was not a confidant, he was also a descendant.

After a while, Tang He came in from outside, but he was alone and didn't see Zhu Chongba.

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Zixing pointed to the gift box and said, "Where did you get such a valuable gift?" Heavy eight! ”

Guo Dashuai is not confused.

Tang He said with a smile, "Dashuai is angry, this is the filial piety of me and Chongba, it was not stolen or robbed, it was all bought with the silver you rewarded." I heard that my wife believed in Buddhism, so I discussed with me and sent a statue of Buddha to my wife, which was regarded as repaying the kindness of the handsome. ”

Guo Zixing's face looked better, "Eight people!" ”

"His battalion is full of recruits, and he can't leave!" Tang He said with a smile.

Zhu Wu knew that this was definitely not given by Zhu Chongba. Zhu Chongba disdains these flies and dogs, and he will not please women.

This should be Tang He's back, I think when I first met Tang He, I thought he was a good man, and slowly got along, where did he look like a hero.

At this moment, another pro-soldier came outside, "Dashuai, Zhu Gongzi's pro-soldiers are looking for him, saying that there is a military situation in the distance!" ”
