Chapter XXXVI: Reciprocal Litigation

"Fortunately, my brother was at home that day, and after the officers and soldiers came to the door, I explained to him what had happened. After calming the emotions of the elders in the family, the elder brother went out to negotiate with the officers and soldiers. My brother has worked hard in Xinghua for many years, and he also has some friendships with some government officials. But that day, those officers and soldiers didn't give my brother the slightest chance to speak, and it was clear that this matter had nothing to do with my brother, but those officers and soldiers actually caught my brother indiscriminately. My brother didn't want to resist at that time, but those people grabbed my brother and threatened me, saying that as long as I was willing to obey Bao Mengyi, I would enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on, otherwise I would kill our whole family. ”

"My brother can not care about anything in this life, but only family is his bottom line. Those officers and soldiers dared to threaten my brother with the lives of my whole family, which was the most regrettable sentence they had ever said in their lives. My brother has been working the water for many years, and his martial arts are far above me, so where can I catch my brother with those officers and soldiers. My brother glanced at me, and I understood, and when my brother broke free from the control of the officers and soldiers, I threw my brother's spear into his hand. My family sells salt for a living, and there are many good hands, and it didn't take a lot of effort to clean up these officers and soldiers. But my family killed so many officers and soldiers, it was like a rebellion, and I had to flee. On the way to escape, my brother heard about the uprising of your Red Turban Army, so as soon as he gritted his teeth, he contacted a group of former friends and gathered some ruthless salt dealers who were oppressed by the original dogs, and really rebelled. ”

After Zhang Ying finished speaking, the expression on her face can be described in two words - happy.

Indeed, although Zhang Shicheng's uprising also contained a lot of helplessness, it was indeed happy in general. Unlike the White Lotus Sect's long-term planning, Zhang Shicheng was completely on a whim and single-handedly developed the rebel army to such an extent, which shows that this is indeed a great man. Zhu Chuba suddenly had a trace of admiration and curiosity for this Marshal Zhang, and began to look forward to cooperating with Zhang Shicheng.

After Zhang Ying finished speaking, Zhu Chuba praised from the bottom of his heart: "Your brother is really an amazing person. ”

Zhang Ying raised her head proudly: "Of course." ”

Zhu Chuba looked at Zhang Ying's proud appearance and said with a smile: "Compared with your brother, the reason for my uprising is much narrower. ”

"Huh? You must have a reason for that, too. Zhang Ying asked.

Zhu Chuba shook his head: "If you revolt, I have no reason. It's just that the master asked me to come, so I came, and the master has a life-saving grace for me, and I won't refuse what he wants me to do. ”

"Your master? Behind the Red Turban Army's uprising is the support of the White Lotus Sect, could it be that your master is also a member of the White Lotus Sect? ”

Zhu Chuba nodded, there was nothing to hide: "Not only my master, but I am also a disciple of the White Lotus Sect. ”

"Then why did you join the White Lotus Sect? There's a reason for that. Zhang Ying asked again.

"Do you want to know?" Zhu Chuba lowered his head and looked at Zhang Ying's eyes, his eyes were looking at each other, close at hand. Neither of them even noticed, and before they knew it, they were getting closer and closer.

Zhang Ying looked at Zhu Chuba's dark eyes without flinching and said, "Of course, I have already said it, of course you have to share your story with me, it's only fair." ”

Zhu Chuba turned his head and chuckled, "My story is very simple and common. Once upon a time, there was a poor child born in a poor family, and he saw with his own eyes that on the eve of his eldest brother's marriage, his future sister-in-law was beautifully dressed up and sent to the chief of the security guard's room because the original chief had a so-called right to the first night. Later, after the sister-in-law gave birth to her first child, the old man in the family decided to throw him to death. The poor children who saw everything like this with their own eyes have been resentful of the original people since then, but if they can't support themselves, what right do they have to resent others. The poor child's hometown suffered a famine, and the poor child was forced to leave home and come to the city of Haozhou, but was indiscriminately arrested and put in prison by the original people. The poor child was powerless to resist and could only sit and wait for death. At this time, the poor child's future master appeared, he was the helmsman of the White Lotus Sect's Haozhou rudder, with peerless martial arts. He rescued the poor child and infiltrated the home of the prefect of Haozhou, and let the poor child kill the prefect of Haozhou who gave the idea to the chief of Haozhou back then. The poor boy knew that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to ask for the tragic fate of this poor and waiting for death, so he worshipped the helmsman as his teacher. In this way, the poor child no longer lived a life without food and clothing, and he also practiced kung fu, determined to give this life to the master who changed his fate. So the master asked him to come to the uprising, and he came without hesitation. ”

After Zhu Chuba finished speaking, he looked down at Zhang Ying and said with a smile: "How is it, it's very boring." ”

Zhang Ying pursed her lips and said, "It's really boring." ”

Zhang Ying turned her head to look at the lake, and sighed in her heart. Does she really think that Zhu Chuba's experience is boring? Not really. He knew very well that maybe Zhu Chuba's reason for joining the rebel army was indeed just because the master ordered it like this, so he did it. However, Zhu Chuba's helplessness did not lie in joining the rebel army, but in joining the White Lotus Sect. When he joined the White Lotus Sect, the helplessness and resentment in this man's heart were not weaker than his own. yes, if you don't really have a way, who wants to spend all day with their head pinned to their belt.

Zhang Ying suddenly felt a little sympathy for this man, listening to what he said, this man has no relatives in this world. Maybe he can treat his master as a relative, but after all, there is no blood relative, and it is difficult to make up for the gap in his heart. Zhang Ying at least has her brother, and her parents are still alive. Zhang Ying's struggle is purposeful, she fights to protect these family members, and she fights so that her family can be respected. But what about Zhu Chuba? He just fought for the sake of his master making him fight. There is no doubt that this is somewhat sad. But the man who can still enjoy it in this sad background must have what a strong heart. Zhang Ying began to be curious about this man. What kind of man is this?

The wind was getting stronger and stronger by the lake, but neither of them seemed to notice it, and each was immersed in their own thoughts. This seems to be the beautiful scenery that can only appear in the poet's pen, the moonlight, the lake, the breeze, the pavilion, and the boys and girls naturally embrace each other in such a beautiful picture.

At this time, Zhu Chuba suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, do you know the name of the chief in my story?" ”

"What's the name?" Zhang Ying asked subconsciously.

"Bao Mengyi." Zhu Chuba replied.
