As a result of drinking too much, I woke up the next day in a daze, my hair was dizzy, my feet were light, and my body was weak.

"This thing is delaying, drink less in the future!"

Zhu Wu rinsed with cold water and practiced the knife in the yard a few times before he felt better.

When the spirit was almost recovered, the drunk state was almost gone, and the pro-soldiers were not brought with them, so they walked to the side courtyard.

The side courtyard of the Han Wangfu is actually better than the main courtyard, and the previous owner was the concubine of the Jinling prefect. It is said that that beauty, born in Qinhuai River, is proficient in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The courtyard where I live is full of elegance.

There were a few guards standing at the gate of the courtyard who brought the knife to patrol back and forth, and when they saw Zhu Wu coming, they hurriedly saluted, Zhu Wu smiled and waved his hand, and walked inside.

"What about people?"

There was no one in the courtyard, and breakfast was on the table in the main hall.

Sticky and shiny rice porridge, fragrant xiaolongbao, two stacks of side dishes, and boiled eggs.

"Damn, eat better than me!"

Zhu Wu smiled and grabbed a small steamed bun and threw it in his mouth, bursting with juice and fragrant. I couldn't help it, and threw another one.

Then, there was a melodious sound of the piano in his ears, and Zhu Wu followed the sound and walked to the corner of the courtyard garden. An elegant man with a long beard is half-lying on a bamboo chair, a twenty-eight beauty is gently kneading her legs, and another beauty in front of her is playing music.

"Liu Bowen?" Zhu Wu glanced at it twice, and secretly said in his heart, "The sullen energy of a scholar is also this virtue after a few hundred years." Superficial moral articles, in fact, like girls. ”

I stood there and listened for a while, but I couldn't understand it. Zhu Wu returned to the dining room with his hands behind his back, he had eaten two buns just now, how could he get hungrier and hungrier the more he ate.

So he sat down on the table, took the bowl, ate unceremoniously, and devoured it.

Let's say that Liu Bowen is here, the sound of the piano is still the same, these two women were originally the maidservants who served the previous master in this side courtyard, and they were proficient in music.

Zhu Wu stood in this courtyard, and they naturally became Zhu Wu's private property. But the Dingyuan army is full of dirt buns, how can there be elegant bones, so these two have been doing some chores in the mansion.

Yesterday, he was suddenly selected by Zhu Xiaoshe to serve this master, so he naturally tried his best to seek a good background.

But at this time, Liu Bowen was really not in the mood, and he was escorted here by the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army along the way, and he was really worried in his heart.

As a young man, he was famous in eastern Zhejiang, but his life was wasted, and the traitors in the court were in charge, and the righteous people could not stand on their feet. There is no desire to serve the country, but there is no place to show it.

If the smoke rises today, there are thieves everywhere and chaos everywhere. In addition to being heartbroken, I also hate these thieves to the core.

This time, the city of Hangzhou was broken, and I wanted to return to my hometown and my relatives to organize local militias to defend the countryside. But I don't want to be a pseudo-Han king, so I want it by name.

"Then how does Zhu Wu know about me? What do you want me to do? Lying on the bamboo chair, in the sound of the piano, Liu Bowen thought to himself, "Yes!" That Zhu thief must be to win people's hearts, although I am not talented, but among the scholars in Zhejiang, there are some thin names, and the Liu family is also a local family, so he wants to rely on me. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Bowen sneered a few times, stood up, ignored the two women, and slowly turned around.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the main hall, my footsteps suddenly stopped.

In the hall, a young man in cloth clothes was devouring a bowl, obviously he didn't use a bowl, but he used a small basin for porridge, put a few dishes in it, stirred it with chopsticks twice, and pulled it into his mouth when he held it.

"Vulgar!" Liu Bowen shook his head and wondered in his heart, "Who is this person?" ”

Take a closer look at this young man, although he has a beard, he is in his early twenties, with a cloth coat and a sword, a strong body, and thick joints.

"It should be someone close to the puppet king Zhu Wu!" Liu Bowen said in his heart, I heard that the puppet king Zhu Wu is very young, and the henchmen and brothers around him are also young people.

"Ahem!" Liu Bowen coughed.

"Gollum!" Zhu Wu swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, and squinted at Liu Bowen standing at the door, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Eat someone's breakfast!"

So, Zhu Wu grinned, "But Mr. Liu Bowen? ”

"It's down there, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"

"Under ......"

He doesn't know me? Zhu Wu turned his mind around and said with a smile, "Here is the righteous brother of King Han, Guo Ying, come and see Mr. for King Han!" ”

"It turned out to be General Guo San!" Liu Bowen is neither humble nor arrogant.

Guo Xiaosan is such a big name?

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "Mr. also knows the name below?" ”

Liu Bowen sat down a few steps away from Zhu Wu, and said expressionlessly, "The year before last, I saw the imperial court's mansion newspaper in Hangzhou, and Zhu Wu, a native of Haozhou, led the two sons of the Guo family to attack Hezhou with the official army Liao as the internal response. Although the thief is young, he is brave and not afraid of death, and he fights for his life, and the officials and soldiers can't reach it! ”

"Damn, the reader swears without dirty words!"

Zhu Wu gritted his teeth and nodded, and listened to Liu Bowen continue, "Last year's Di Bao, Guo San, a subordinate of Zhu Wu of Hezhou, led a large army to break through Anqing and suppress it. Guo and Zhu, starting from a slight cold, are siblings, and sit down as the first confidant for Zhu Wu! ”

"That's right, Xiao San and Xiao Si are the people I trust the most!"

At this time, Liu Bowen continued, "I don't know why General Guo came? ”

For a long time, no one dared to talk to themselves so hard.

Zhu Wu still kept smiling, "Sir, the King of Han has heard of it for a long time." Zhejiang celebrities, none other than Mr. Now that the Han Dynasty has just been established, the King of Han is thirsty for talent........"

"I just want to go back to my hometown!" Liu Bowen said coldly.

"The smell of the reader!"

Zhu Wu sneered in his heart, but said sincerely on his face, "Mr. is a talented learner, and he has the clear name of Shilin, it is not a pity to live in seclusion if it does not benefit one party and the people?"

Liu Bowen sneered, "For the benefit of the people? I just want to go back to my hometown! ”

"What the fuck do you mean by sneering?"

Zhu Wu is the most annoying thing about this, the sneer that has something to say, and the sneer that is not smiling is the most annoying.

I heard Liu Bowen continue, "I heard that King Han is not a person who kills indiscriminately, if he is really a corporal of Lixian, he will return to his hometown!" ”

"In such troubled times, hometown is not a happy land!"

"If the army of the King of Han does not come, it will be peaceful in his hometown."

In two sentences, there is slowly a smell of gunpowder.

It's not that Liu Bowen is pedantic and doesn't know how to be flexible. He became famous at a young age, a celebrity in eastern Zhejiang, and the pillar of the family, how can he have a relationship with the thief.

Once you become a thief, you and your family, won't you become the laughing stock of Shilin, and won't you be humiliated by your reputation?

Zhu Wu was angered by this aggressive, smelly and hard attitude. If it was other scholars, Zhu Wu wouldn't see it, and even if he did, he would be a fart.

But Liu Bowen, such a big name in history, he had a bit of a competition in his heart.

"The king of Han wants the world, how can he not take eastern Zhejiang?" Zhu Wu looked into Liu Bowen's eyes, "If the army arrives, how will Mr. deal with it?" ”

Liu Bowen was a little flustered by his eyes, and wanted to dodge, but suddenly mustered up the courage and looked directly at Zhu Wu.

"Naturally, it is to lead the clansmen, go on a blind date, Zhedong Zidi, and defend the township!"

Zhu Wu sneered, "Why? Dingyuan Army is a hundred battles, and you are just waiting for the mantis arm to block the car! ”

"Block it too!" Liu Ji Zhengse said, "My hometown, my land, where the responsibility lies!" ”

"Ridiculous!" Zhu Wu said coldly, "A hundred years ago, when Meng Yuan came, did your ancestor say the same?" ”

"Ridiculous, what the general said is wrong. The Great Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were a change of dynasty. Today, the general and others are..."

"What is it?" Zhu Wulu stood up and sneered, "It's a thief, right?" ”

Liu Bowen smiled and shut up.

"I see!" Zhu Wu said with a smile, "You have nothing more than four words in your heart, and you don't want to be a thief." Speaking of which, in your heart, we are thieves! ”

Zhu Wu walked closer and looked at Liu Bowen with his body, "We rebellious thieves are causing chaos in the world, burning, killing and looting, only knowing destruction, not construction, and we are extremely vicious and inhumane. Killing officials and gentry, coercing innocent people, making the fields barren and commerce withering, making the beacon smoke everywhere, and there is no more paradise in the world, right? ”

Liu Bowen was a little surprised, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to say this.

is also a little moved, judging from the conversation of this General Guo San, it should be a person who has read books and been taught.

"But I want to ask you, ask you, a master of Jinshi who is full of wealth and knowledge, where did the thief come from?" Zhu Wu suddenly shouted, "Tell me, where did the thief come from?" ”

"The thief is from the people!" Zhu Wu then sneered, "We were all people before, why did we rebel?" Why are you not afraid of death? Who doesn't want their wives and children to have a hot kang head, and who doesn't want to eat a stable meal and live a steady life. Whoever is the emperor and who is the lord has something to do with us people.

Why rebel, you didn't force me! ”

Zhu Wuyue said louder, "Year after year of famine, year after year of taxes, the common people are not as good as the dogs of big families!" Have you ever been to Huaixi? Have you ever been to Henan? Have you ever seen how people are starved to death, have you ever seen selling children and daughters, and changing children for food? Lao Tzu has seen it! ”

Liu Bowen's eyes were a little evasive.

"Are we thieves? If we don't become thieves, we will die! We are also ordinary people, why should we freeze to death and starve to death! Zhu Wu gritted his teeth, his eyes red and said, "We originally had a home!" I have a family and my parents! There are siblings! There is land and land! Who forced us into this! ”

"It's you! It's you lords! Zhu Wu pointed at Liu Bowen and sneered, "But if there is a good official who loves the people like a son, collects less taxes, asks less food, and provides relief to us in disaster years, we will not stop there." But if there is a rich man or squire who is willing to rent less, and put less money in usury, we will not be like this.

After working hard all his life, he can't eat. If you can't pay the grain, you have to borrow, and if you can't borrow it, you have to take the land. As a result, we became homeless people!

Asking for food, escaping the famine, how many people died on the road, and there was not even a grave? How many people have died when the stripes were not even covered? ”

Tears flashed in Zhu Wu's eyes, "There is nothing left, there is only one life left." We don't rebel, and we will give you the fuck to be obedient people? God can't look at it! ”
