Zhou Chongde and the others rode horses and slowly came to the city of Wanzhou, and a sergeant with a loud voice stepped forward and shouted: "The people in the city, we are the people of Yazhou Qianhu, we are ordered to come to quell the rebellion, our Lord Zhou is under the city, quickly open the city gate."

After a long while, several heads appeared on the city wall, and a man who looked like an officer shouted, "Everyone, please wait a moment, and we will go back to my lordship." ”

"Nonsense!" Xu Lang stepped forward immediately, "Saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, how can there be any reason to delay, delay the military plane, can you afford to wait?" ”

No matter how much they shouted, the people in the city did not say a word. Xu Lang had no choice but to turn his horse's head and return to the front of the team.

"This Wanzhou is too unusual." Zhou Chongde was a little indignant, "Let's help them, and we won't even give this face." ”

"Lord Zhou, don't be angry, this is also expected." Han Wantao persuaded on the side, "Wait a minute, meet Gu Bin and Cao Hui, Master Zhou, don't forget what we discussed." ”

After waiting for more than half an hour, Gu Bin and Cao Hui appeared on the city wall of Wanzhou.

"Is this Zhou Chongde from Yazhou Thousand Households below?" Gu Bin still looked high on the city wall.

"It's the official." Zhou Chongde arched his hand upwards and claimed to be his own official, "On the order of Shangfeng, Yazhou Qianhu came to quell the Li riot, and now this Li people have been dispersed by us, please open the city gate quickly and let us enter the city." ”

Gu Bin looked down and asked, "Zhou Qianhu, did you bring these soldiers?" ”

Master Gu laughed. Zhou Chongde sneered, "How can this little soldier pacify thousands of Li people." My old Zhou did his best to raise the soldiers of Yazhou, and came to relieve the siege of the adults with full troops. This is just my own soldiers, and the rest are stationed in a barracks five miles away. We've run for hundreds of miles, and Lord Gu won't even let us into the city, right? ”

Gu Bin was a little puzzled in his heart, he knew that Zhou Chongde was clumsy on weekdays, why did he say it so well today. Gu Bin turned his head to Cao Hui and asked, "Chongde has changed his temperament this week?" Why are you so sharp now? ”

"Back to my lord." Cao Hui remembered the matter of Zhou Chongde grabbing land with him back then, and at that time, Zhou Chongde suddenly became very good at talking, "Zhou Chongde's elm head must not think so much, there is a master behind him to guide him, adults don't be careless, follow his way." ”

"Superior? Do you know who it is? Gu Bin asked, "Cao Qianhu, do you think you can let them into the city now?" ”

"My lord, I don't know who the master behind Chongde is this week, but I heard that he has been in close contact with the people in Yulin Bay recently." After Cao Hui finished speaking, he thought for a while, "I think we can let them into the city, Chongde brought these hundred and ten people this week, he won't have other ideas, let's listen to what he means first." However, it is still up to adults to decide. ”

The two in the city were discussing, and Zhou Chongde was waiting impatiently under the city: "I said Master Gu, we traveled hundreds of miles in the starry night to relieve you of the siege of Wanzhou, but now not only have you not drunk a sip of water, but you are not even allowed to enter the city." My Lao Zhou is also a temperamental person, Lord Gu, Lao Zhou has said goodbye, and in the future, if Lord Wu Tingyun asks, my Lao Zhou has something to say. ”

Gu Bin was furious when he heard Zhou Chongde say this in the city. Just about to get angry, Cao Hui persuaded on the side: "Don't be like that big boss, and let him in to see what he has to say." ”

"Hmph." Gu Bin snorted in his nose, "You go open the door and let them into the city, I'll see what he has to say." ”

The gate of Wanzhou slowly opened, and Gu Bin and Cao Hui led a group of soldiers out of the city gate.

Zhou Chongde glanced at Han Wantao and Xu Lang next to him, and both of them nodded at him at the same time.

Zhou Chongde took a deep breath, shook the reins, and the prancing horse came to Gu Bin and Cao Hui, and clasped his hands into fists: "Lord Gu, Lord Cao, this official was ordered to come to quell the rebellion, thank you two adults for opening the city gate and letting us enter the city." ”

After speaking, Zhou Chongde slightly clamped the horse's belly between his legs and ran straight in front of Gu Bin and Cao Hui.

Gu Bin and Cao Hui were stupid at that time. No matter how arrogant Chongde is this week, he won't make such a move, let alone pay a big salute to Gu Bin, he didn't even get off the horse, so he entered the city with such a show of power.

Cao Hui was the first to react, ran a few steps, stepped forward and grabbed the reins of Zhou Chongde's horse: "Zhou Chongde, you are bold and presumptuous!" ”

Zhou Chongde didn't laugh angrily, and leaned down from his horse to face Cao Hui: "Lord Cao, I'm just going into the city, and you have already agreed to let us enter the city, how can this be considered bold and presumptuous?" ”

"You, you." Cao Hui was speechless angrily, gasped a few times, and gradually calmed down his anger, "Zhou Chongde, you rode into the city, and actually ignored Lord Gu, neither courtesy, nor dismounting, what do you want to do?" ”

"Lord Cao." Xu Lang also followed Zhou Chongde at this time, and walked over, "Dare to ask Lord Cao, how do we Lord Zhou give a gift?" ”

"Naturally, it is a big bow to pay homage." Cao Hui was angry, and he didn't pay attention to who asked this sentence, so he answered casually.

"Hahahaha." Xu Lang laughed loudly, "Then dare to ask Lord Cao, with my Ming law, is it a salute from a low grade to a high grade, or a salute from a high grade to a low grade?" ”

Cao Hui's mind still didn't turn around: "Naturally, the low-grade salutes the high-grade." ”

"Thank you, Lord Cao, for your teachings." Xu Lang suddenly shouted, "Wanzhou Governor Gu Bin, why don't you give a salute to Lord Zhou Chongde of Yazhou Thousand Households?" ”

As soon as Xu Lang said this, everyone present was stunned. How is it possible for a governor to salute a thousand households. Who is this man, and how can he speak so wildly?

"Who are you?" Cao Hui only noticed Xu Lang who was speaking at this time, "How can you speak wildly?" ”

"Uttering wild words? Hehehehehe. Xu Lang jumped off the horse with a smile, "Lord Cao, dare to ask again, how many products are these thousand households, and how many products are these Zhizhou?" ”

Cao Hui's head figured it out at this time, and he was surrounded by this person.

"You, you." Cao Hui pointed at Xu Lang and said that he was speechless again.

Zhou Chongde also jumped down from the horse: "Hahahaha, Lord Gu, Lord Cao, you and I are officials in the same court, so there is no need to salute, how about we go into the city together?" ”

Gu Bin didn't say a word, flicked his sleeves, and didn't care about Zhou Chongde and Cao Hui, he turned his head and left first.

"Hahahaha." Zhou Chongde turned over and got back on his horse, "The soldiers of the three armies will enter the city with this officer." ”

In the lobby of the Wanzhou Mansion, Gu Bin sat in the middle angrily, next to Zhou Chongde and Cao Hui, Han Wantao and Xu Lang stood behind Zhou Chongde on the left and right.

"Zhou Qianhu." Gu Bin hesitated again and again, but he was the first to speak, and he still had to say what he had to say, "Zhou Qianhu went through the starry night and quelled the rebellion of the Li people, and Zhou Qianhu made the first contribution." This official will report to the imperial court to ask for merit for Zhou Qianhu. ”

Zhou Chongde rushed up and arched his hand: "Thank you, Lord Gu, it is the duty of our soldiers to protect the territory and the people." ”

Gu Bin didn't care about Zhou Chongde's attitude, and thought that he would quickly send these people away, and the province would have extraneous branches.

"Zhou Qianhu." Gu Bin thought of this and continued, "After a while, this official will hold a banquet to entertain the soldiers of the three armies, all of them are Ming soldiers, and they can't chill the hearts of the soldiers. However, since this rebellion has been decided, the official will not leave Zhou Qianhu, and it is better for Zhou Qianhu to return to Yazhou as soon as possible, and this Yazhou city also needs Zhou Qianhu to protect the territory and the people. ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Zhou Chongde said with a big grin, "Although this Li people have been beaten back by me now, who knows if they will come back." According to the scouts I sent out, they are not yet dispersed, and they are not far away. How can I walk at this juncture? Besides, this official heard that other states and counties have also sent troops to come, so I have to meet before leaving, they are all officials of the same dynasty, I haven't seen them for a long time, and my old Zhou also misses them very much. ”

"Zhou Qianhu." Gu Bin's face changed color a little, is there such a thing as you, he still can't leave, "It's better for our Wanzhou affairs to be solved by ourselves in Wanzhou, Zhou Qianhu has already made a lot of efforts, and I will thank Zhou Qianhu from top to bottom." ”

"Then I don't know Lord Gu, how do you Wanzhou want to thank me?" Zhou Chongde's words not only stunned Gu Bin and Cao Hui, but even Han Wantao and Xu Lang, who were standing behind him, were stunned in their hearts, "I didn't teach him to say this yesterday, there are still such shameless people in this world, and they don't even want a fig leaf." ”

"Zhou Chongde." Cao Hui couldn't help it, "Let's Lord Gu give you face very much, don't be embarrassed." ”

"Lao Cao, what you said is not right." Zhou Chongde was still giggling, "I didn't say this, it was you Lord Gu who said that you want to thank me, I just asked you how you want to thank me, how?" Can't you ask? ”

"Zhou Qianhu." Gu Bin calmed down at this time, "But I don't know what kind of thanks Zhou Qianhu wants?" ”

"How thankful for this, you wait, I want to think."

Xu Lang stood behind Zhou Chongde and almost didn't laugh out loud, this still has to be thought, it seems that Zhou Chongde's pig brain has forgotten the things that have been discussed.

Zhou Chongde thought hard for a while: "This is the first, what our Lord Wang Kezong meant." The adults of our family said, you Lord Gu don't fight with him anymore, this year's evaluation, Lord Gu, you will raise your hand, and our Lord Wang Kezong will remember Lord Gu's good. This second is the meaning of our entire Yazhou City. Master Gu, you also know that in the past two years in Yazhou, the market has been prosperous and the people have been rich. However, now we are short of people in Yazhou, and there is a shortage of people in all walks of life, so we hope to be able to recruit craftsmen in Wanzhou. This is the third。。。。。。 ”

"Enough!" Gu Bin broke off, no matter how good his temperament was, he couldn't bear it anymore at this time, "Zhou Chongde, this official reads that you have not read the book of sages, and you have the merit of breaking the siege, this official is patient to listen to you here, you don't want to inch in." ”

Seeing that Gu Bin was really angry, Zhou Chongde's heart was still weak for a while. Xu Lang secretly poked Zhou Chongde behind him, and turned his face when it was time to turn his face.

Zhou Chongde secretly took a few breaths and stood up from the chair, he knew in his heart that the matter had come to this point, and there was only one hard one.

"Lord Gu, although this official led the troops to relieve the siege of Wanzhou this time, the imperial court will eventually investigate the cause of this Li riot. The rights and wrongs of this are twists and turns, and the official also knows a little about them. And also. Zhou Chongde took out a letter from his clothes and threw it to Gu Bin, "There are already people in Wanzhou who have jointly filed a complaint, Lord Gu can read it yourself, if this letter is handed over to Lord Wu Tingyun or the Governor of Guangzhou, I'm afraid Lord Gu's life will not be easy." ”

Gu Bin opened the letter thrown by Zhou Chongde with doubts and looked through it carefully, and before he could finish reading it, Gu Bin's face changed: "Slander, rumors." Zhou Chongde, where did you get this fake letter, you don't know a single big word, do you think this official will believe your trick? ”

After Gu Bin finished scolding, he directly tore up the letter with three strokes and five divisions.

"Master Gu, are you trying to destroy the evidence?" Zhou Chongde took out another letter from his clothes, "It's useless for you to tear up a hundred letters." To tell you the truth, Master Gu, the original copy of this letter is from my Lao Zhou, and what I showed you was copied by someone. What's the matter, does Master Gu want to tear it again? ”

After Zhou Chongde finished speaking, he threw the letter in his hand to Gu Bin.

"Lord Zhou, don't be in a hurry." Cao Hui knew that this was not the time to argue with Zhou Chongde, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Just now Lord Zhou said that there is a third one, please Lord Zhou finish speaking, how about I discuss it with Lord Gu?" ”

"It's still Lord Cao who understands things." Zhou Chongde smiled with satisfaction, "Then I'll finish my words." This third, Lord Cao will depend on you. ”

"Rely on me?" Cao Hui was a little confused, "I don't know what Lord Zhou means by this?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, Lord Cao." Zhou Chongde smiled at Cao Hui for a while, and the sneering Cao Hui felt a chill down his spine, "Lord Cao, it seems that we haven't figured out a piece of land back then." This third thing is that I hope that Lord Cao can return that piece of land to the villagers of Yazhou, what does Lord Cao think? ”
