Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Night of Niu Zhu
Mi Zhu returned home and talked to the elders of the clan about serving Liu Bei, and Mi Fang was the first to jump out to object, "Liu Jizhou has millions of soldiers, owns the land of three states, and is as bright as a galaxy." On the other hand, Liu Bei, who got up slightly, weaved mats and sold shoes, only tens of thousands of soldiers, and there would be no more than three, first voted for Gongsun Zhan, and then Yi Tao Gongzu, with his ears hanging down his shoulders, running around and working hard. "Good guy, originally the ears and shoulders were rich and noble, but they became the appearance of hard work in Mi Fang's mouth. Mi Zhu said: "Liu Jizhou has many generals and generals, and the world knows that if he takes refuge, he will be able to control a state." Liu Bei is different, because of his embarrassment, he takes refuge at this time, just like sending charcoal in the snow, and throwing ropes in the well. An old man of the Mi family stroked his long beard under his chin and said slowly: "Xuzhou is under the control of Liu Jizhou, and the Mi family has a population of thousands of people, how can it be easy to come and go, if it is detected by the Jizhou army, can Zizhong keep the Mi family peaceful?" Mi Zhu said: "My little sister and Liu Xuande have a marriage contract, how can they be treacherous. Liu Jizhou is not a brutal person, and he will not be connected. My little sister and I cross-dressed, both righteous and family-friendly. Mi Fang jumped up angrily and said loudly: "Liu Bei is nearly forty years old, and the little sister is sixteen years old, how can you do it?" Let the little sister marry this flowery horseman. It is estimated that Liu Bei has been running around for half his life, constantly worrying, and his hair has turned a lot grayer, and he is called a flower-headed puppet by Mi Fang. Mi Zhu's face turned red, she gave her sister to Liu Bei out of selfishness, and she didn't know what her little sister thought. When the elders of the clan heard this, they whispered one after another. Mi Zhu shouted: "I am the eldest brother, and the affairs of the family are naturally in charge of my family, will I harm my little sister." Mi Fang sneered: "For your own selfishness, you put the safety of your family at risk, and put your little sister in fire and water." Arrogant and arrogant. Mi Zhu saw that Mi Fang was only looking at the present, so he had to say: "Lu Buwei is a strange goods, Liu Xuande, strange goods, Zifang Anzhi?" "LΓΌ Buwei's strange goods, Chu Ye, the prince of Qin; The wonder of the king, the flower head of the puffle. Can it be compared? Mi Zhu had to say again, and his sister Mihuan's maid came to report, "Miss went to the beach early in the morning and has not returned." Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were shocked, hurried home, and sent people to look for them.
Liu Ze and Lu Su took a medium-sized boat and slowly traveled west along the Yangtze River. Shi A led a hundred special elites, and the sailors on board were all sailors dressed as sailors. On this day, it was late in Niuzhu, so I had to anchor the river bank and rest for one night. Niuzhu is an important town on the river bank and has always been a battleground for soldiers. Shi Ah arranged the matter of guarding the ship, and more than 100 people walked towards the town in several groups. At this time, the north wind blew away the clouds in the sky, revealing a bright moon, and the river shone with a sparkling silver light, and the moored ships were slapped by the river water, making a fierce sound.
Liu Ze, Lu Su, and Shi Ah walked to a tavern, asked for wine and food, and talked and ate in a whisper. A few big men at the next table estimated that they had drunk too much, and one said: "Uncle Sun is called the little overlord of Jiangdong, and he will inevitably die this time." Liu Ze was taken aback, could it be that Sun Ce was assassinated? Lu Su has also been concerned about Jiangdong, and he was also surprised when he heard it, and the three of them stopped talking, listening carefully to what the man said. Sure enough, after the man finished speaking, the neighbor hurriedly asked, and the man took a sip of wine and said unhurriedly: "Wujun Taishou Xu Gong was killed by General Sun, and Xu Taishou guarded the three guests under the door, and was determined to avenge his master." These three doormen have a lot of backgrounds," the man seemed to deliberately arouse people's appetites, and when he said this, he picked up his wine glass, and a person next to him immediately poured it for him, and asked with a smile on his face: "What is the origin?" The man said: "They are all famous chivalrous warriors in Jiangdong, and they were saved by Xu Taishou in danger." The person who poured the wine asked, "How is it compared to the white-clothed ginger wind?" "It turns out that Jiang Feng in white is a well-known ranger in Jiangdong. The man looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Although Jiang Daxia is excellent in martial arts, compared with the three doormen, it is still a lot worse. The man was taken aback, "These three doormen are so powerful?" "Hehe, do you know that the Great Sword Master Wang Yue?" The man said. Liu Ze glanced at Shi A, Shi A nodded, and said in a low voice, "It's the family teacher."
The person who poured the wine filled the man again, and said, "Wang Yue's sword master is famous all over the world, who doesn't know?" The man said: "Xu Taishou has three disciples, all of whom are disciples of Wang Jianshi. "Really?" "How can this lie at will? Since Xu Taishou's death, the three doormen have been hiding in the wilderness, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. The person who poured the wine said, "Boss Wang, you don't fucking sell Guanzi, hurry up." The man named Boss Wang smiled and said, "General Sun likes to hunt, and the three doormen have inquired about it exactly, and they are hiding in the mountains where General Sun often goes hunting." On this day, General Sun went hunting again, and the three doormen dug a big pit in the place where the deer were infested and hid it. Coincidentally, General Sun saw a fat deer, shot an arrow, hit the buttocks, the deer fled quickly, General Sun chased after the horse, and the deer actually led General Sun to the place where the three doormen were hiding. The doorman saw that General Sun was alone from the pit, and knowing that General Sun was brave, he secretly shot an arrow and hit General Sun's brow. General Sun was taken aback, and knowing that he had encountered an assassin, he ran back on his horse, and the three doormen jumped out and fought with General Sun. Think about it, how can the disciple of Wang Jianshi be bad, although General Sun has the courage of ten thousand people, he was also killed by three disciples, and he had a lot of swords on his body. Boss Wang seemed to be thirsty, picked up the wine, took another sip, and said: "General Sun shouted loudly while fighting, which alarmed his two generals, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, and the two of them came to see that General Sun's face was bleeding and his blood-stained robe, and they all took out their weapons and went forward, and together they killed the three assassins. The man who poured the wine said, "It's over? Boss Wang said, "It's over." "Then what happened to General Sun in the end?" Boss Wang said: "Those three doormen knew that General Sun was powerful, and they smeared poison on the arrow they shot in advance. The man who poured the wine said, "Oops, General Sun is poisoned." Wang Laodao: "It's not, it's a pity that our Jiangdong has just stabilized, and General Sun has suffered miserably." Alas..."
Lu Su said to Liu Ze in a low voice: "Sun Bofu is light and unprepared, he is brave and brave, and he kills people for small reasons, and he will not die well." Liu Ze nodded and said, "Sun Bofu is not here, who can follow him?" "His third brother Sun Yi is fierce and decisive, and has the style of a brother, so he can succeed to the throne." Liu Ze said with a smile: "I want Sun Bofu to let his second brother Sun Quan inherit the foundation of Jiangdong." Lu Su frowned and said: "Sun Zhongmou has a generous temperament, but he is suspicious and jealous, and he is not a suitable person." Liu Ze smiled: "What about waiting and seeing?" Lu Su smiled in disbelief, "May it be as you say." β
Mi Zhu didn't say anything about the family members, and her sister didn't find it, so after waiting for a few days, she set off from Huaishui in a small boat and quietly rushed to Yuzhou. Mi Zhu's every move was under Guo Jia's control, and Mi Zhu was invited to the county government by Guo Jia when he was on the shore to replenish supplies in Xutai. Mi Zhu saw Guo Jia sitting in the county office, sighed and lowered his head. Guo Jia said with a smile: "Zizhong is alone, taking a small boat, where do you want to go?" Mi Zhu didn't say a word, Guo Jia said: "Ming Gong praises Zizhong a lot, and he attaches great importance to it, so why turn his back on the master?" Mi Zhu said: "Xuzhou can't make me show my face." "The Mi family is such a family business, overturned only in the hands of the Ming Gong, Zizhong betrays the master, the Ming Gong is angry, and the Mi family survives?" "Liu Jizhou is not killing innocent people indiscriminately, and Zhu is here, and it has nothing to do with his family." "Haha.., Zizhong, Er Zhi will stay and stay here, Jia can't be the master, wait for Ming Gong to fall." Guo Jia looked at the hall and shouted, "Escort Mi Zizhong to Pengcheng." β
Liu Ze and the three of them finished eating and were about to leave the store, when they suddenly heard the shopkeeper arguing loudly with someone, and the shopkeeper said: "Look at you, this son, you are neatly dressed and hated, and you can't get any wine money, it's really funny." A rough voice said: "I have told you that my son forgot to bring the money, and I will return it early tomorrow morning, and you still have to chatter." Liu Ze was strange, there was something wrong with this rough voice, as if he was deliberately holding his voice to speak, and when he got closer, he saw a person who looked like a beautiful boy, slapping the table and reasoning with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said: "Childe, there is a notice posted on the wall of this store, and there is no credit." Childe learns to be rich and has five cars, so he won't know how to read, right? The boy said, "The hunger is unbearable, and I don't see it." The shopkeeper said: "Childe's accent is not a local, what do you take tomorrow morning to pay back." The boy was furious: "Can't I afford a meal for my family?" The shopkeeper said: "Mi family? Which Mi family? Xuzhou Mijia? Will the Xuzhou Mi family be as poor as you? The boy slapped the table again and shouted, "Is it only the Xuzhou Mi family who is rich?" Does my Jiangdong Mi family have no money? Liu Ze had already noticed that when the man said about the Mi family, he covered his mouth, as if he shouldn't have said it casually. The shopkeeper said loudly: "Jiangdong Mi family? Haven't heard of it. After eating a full stomach, wiping your mouth and trying to slip away, how can there be such a thing in the world? Please judge the judges. The boy was not tall, quite weak, and deliberately held his voice to speak, Liu Ze expected that there was a ghost. Sure enough, with the gossip of the guests at the meal, the boy's face slowly turned red. The shopkeeper didn't let anyone pay attention, "Since Childe has no money, I see that your clothes are good, take them off to settle the bill." The boy was taken aback, clasped his arms tightly, and shouted, "The thief dares." Liu Ze said at the right time: "Little second brother, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, this son just happened to forget to bring money, why be so aggressive?" How much does this boy owe you to the store? When the man saw someone come forward, he hurriedly said, "This son is right, this son just forgot to bring the money, and he will definitely pay you back tomorrow." Liu Ze said: "How much can you pay for a meal?" I'll do it for him. When the man heard that Liu Ze paid back the money for him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed, "Gongzi is really a person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and I will pay you back when I have money tomorrow." When the shopkeeper saw someone giving money, his voice lowered and said, "It's just one hundred and sixty-five dollars." Liu Ze glanced at Shi A, and Shi A took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.
When Liu Ze and the three of them went out, the man who looked like a boy followed closely and said to Liu Ze: "Thank you brother Tai for your help." Liu Ze said: "It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. The man said, "Below... In the next...."Liu Ze said with a smile: "Brother Tai, please say something." The man gritted his teeth and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Tai, I left home in a hurry, and I took the jade pendant with me a few days ago, and now I am penniless." I don't know if Brother Tai can help one or two? Liu Ze laughed, and the man said, "When I arrive in Anhui County, I will pay it back." Liu Ze said with a smile: "Brother Taijiang Dongmi's family, it should be rich, why is it so embarrassed?" The man's eyes were red, as if he had tears to flow, "If you love to borrow or not, why bother asking questions?" Liu Ze smiled: "I didn't say I wouldn't borrow it?" It's just that you are alone, there are still three days to go to Anhui County, the river is rampant, and the land bandits are everywhere, how did you get there? The man said, "Hurry up with the merchant ships." Liu Ze smiled: "I don't know how much Brother Tai needs?" The man hesitated for a long time and said, "Five hundred dollars is enough." "How can five hundred dollars reach Anhui County, I will lend you five silver cakes, which is equivalent to five thousand coins, which should be enough to use." The man was overjoyed and said, "Dare to ask Brother Tai's name? "Dongping Liu Xiang."
