At his residence, Luo Mengde met with Tian Xiucheng, a general under Huang Zide.

The large courtyard where Romant now lives was originally the home of a wealthy man in Niushou. Now the original owner of this courtyard has naturally been buried in the soil, and only this big house is left here.

Luo Mengde originally thought that as soon as Huang Zide returned to Xiangyang, he would definitely come over to meet him in person. didn't want Huang Zide to just send Tian Xiucheng over. I was secretly a little unhappy in my heart. However, over the years, his city has gradually deepened, so his face did not show any uncertainty, but welcomed Tian Xiucheng into the hall very enthusiastically, and the two sat down separately, and a young woman came up to pour tea.

The woman poured a big bowl of tea for Tian Xiucheng first, and then walked over and poured a bowl for Luo Mengde. Holmmond took advantage of the woman's approach and pinched her ass hard. The woman's face was so frightened that she almost knocked over the tea bowl.

"How? Lao Tian, isn't this chick pretty? Luo Mengde laughed and said, "If you like it, Lao Tzu will give her to you!" ”

"Don't," Tian Xiucheng said with a smile, "We can't support ourselves!" ”

"Pretend to be poor in front of Lao Tzu!" Luo Mengde said, "I thought Lao Tzu didn't know, you broke Luoyang and robbed King Fu." I heard that the blessed king of the dog day is richer than the emperor! Brother Huang Zide is not a stingy person, can he still treat you badly? Now you're afraid that you're much richer than Lao Tzu, and you're fucking crying poor with Lao Tzu. ”

"Luo Ye, as the saying goes: 'As thick as the snake is, the hole is as big as it is.'" This laid down Luoyang, and I got a lot of things, but with this money, there are more things to do, and then come and go, where can I have any money? ”

"That's because you old Huang has a big mind. Unlike me, today doesn't care about tomorrow. The most important thing for people to live in the world is to be happy. Tossing like Lao Huang, what do you mean. Romant smiled.

Then he asked, "Lao Tian, what did Brother Huang say when you asked you to come?" ”

When Tian Xiucheng heard this, he said: "Marshal Huang asked me to come to ask Master Luo what your plans are in the future." ”

"What are you going to do?" Luo Mengde was stunned and said, "Of course, our two families will join forces and go to Jiangnan to grab a handful together." What, what else does Lao Huang have to plan? ”

Tian Xiucheng smiled and said, "Master Luo, you just said that our Marshal Huang has a big mind. But you don't understand how big our marshal's mind is. Our marshal does not plan to leave, but now he plans to occupy the territory of Huguang, use this territory as the foundation, accumulate strength, and compete for the world. To put it more clearly, my marshal plans to make an emperor do it. ”

Luo Mengde was taken aback, in terms of rebellion, his qualifications were actually earlier than Huang Zide. It's just that although he is very capable, he has always had no ambitions, and he only thinks about living one day at a time. In his heart, he felt that he was a thief in his life, and now he suddenly heard that Huang Zide wanted to be the emperor, he was really surprised, and even inexplicably resentful.

"Huang Zide plans to be the emperor? Now you're going to be the emperor? Romond asked, widening his eyes.

"Of course I won't be the emperor now." Tian Xiucheng smiled, "Why don't you fight a little more today?" How can anyone be so eager to claim the title of emperor? If that's the case, there is such a little territory, and you are in a hurry to get over the emperor's addiction, then it really doesn't look like it can be a big thing. The marshal planned to establish the marshal's office in Xiangyang first, establish the system, and then gradually expand the territory. When the territory is consolidated, you can claim the throne. As for being the emperor, it will have to wait until the world is pacified. ”

"It's also ......" Luo Mengde was halfway through his words, and suddenly remembered what Tian Xiucheng had just said, "After pacifying the world", he hurriedly asked again, "Huang Zide wants to pacify the world, what are you going to do with Lao Tzu?" ”

When Tian Xiucheng heard this, he smiled and said, "Master Luo is kind to us marshal and to us. The marshal often said to us: 'Stand up a pole and fight the world, the first pile of righteousness in the rivers and lakes.' 'Since ancient times, he has been rewarded by the grace of people, and he has been repaid by springs. The marshal said that if Luo Ye is willing to be included in our marshal's account, then he will be the first general under our marshal's account. In the future, if the marshal achieves great things, Luo Ye will be crowned marquis and king, and his descendants will be rich and prosperous for generations. If Luo Ye is ambitious, then the marshal will first cultivate with us, and our marshal will give Luo Ye a batch of weapons, grain and grass, and then the world is so big, Luo Ye can naturally go to other places to make a career. Of course, if Luo Ye is in trouble outside in the future, he is willing to come back and assist Marshal Huang with us, and our marshal will definitely meet him. ”

"You're going to evict you?" Luo Mengde said with a sinking face.

"Master Luo, we have no such intention." Tian Xiucheng said, "Don't hide it from Master Luo, now this Huguang is the fundamental place where the marshal of my family has a foothold." Luo Ye has stayed here for a long time, and he is not from our army, so it is indeed inconvenient. Not to mention anything else, this matter of supply, this army of Luo Ye, does it rely on us, or is it robbing in our territory? ”

"Humph!" Holmmond snorted with a sinking face, but stopped talking.

Tian Xiucheng saw that Luo Mengde stopped talking, so he said again: "Master Luo can think about it more." ”

Luo Mengde snorted again and said, "I heard that Huang Zide has come up with a lot of rules now. Nothing is allowed, and that is not allowed. There are rules for eating and sleeping. There's such a thing, right? You also know that Lao Tzu is the most unrestrained in his life. But what you said also makes sense, since you have the ambition to fight for the world, I can't set fire to your lair, otherwise, it would be too unrighteous, right? It's just that a while ago, I was chased by the officers and soldiers and suffered some losses. Zhang Bingzhong of the dog day, it's really not a fucking good thing! took advantage of it, laid down the Xiangwang Mansion, and gave me nothing on the dog day, and as soon as I fought with the officials and soldiers, I specially took Lao Tzu to the top cylinder. In the end, I still want to hurt Lao Tzu and hack Lao Tzu's team! Zhang Bingzhong of the dog day is really not a thing! It's just that when we run over, there are only about 3,000 people left. It's really a matter of asking for no people, no guys, no food, no food. So in a short time, I really can't leave, and I really want to bother you. I don't know what you can give us? ”

When Tian Xiucheng heard this, he smiled and said, "Master Luo, you must know that we have fought a lot of beautiful battles and got a lot of things in this time. The marshal also knew that Luo Ye had suffered a little loss recently, so he ordered me to bring a thousand sets of swords and shields to Luo Ye. In addition, there are three hundred loads of food, and I don't know if it is enough for Luo Ye. ”

When Luo Mengde heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "I have always said that Lao Huang is righteous and is a good person!" A thousand sets of swords and shields! That's generous! What a good brother! It's just that this food is a little bit lacking......"

Tian Xiucheng said: "I'm not afraid of Luo Ye's jokes, we are in Henan, and we have successively defeated the officers and soldiers, and we have got a lot of this weapon." It's just that this grain is indeed a little less. It's ourselves, now that there are more people and more consumption, in fact, we are not surplus. Now our marshal is busy buying grain, and grandma's, I am afraid that all the little silver we have grabbed will be earned by those grain merchants. Alas, Master Luo, I won't hide it from you, even if you have silver now, it's not easy to buy food. That's all there is to it for the time being. Master Luo, you eat first, and then we will slowly think of a way. If we buy back the grain, we will naturally not forget Luo Ye. It's just that since I have some food, I can support some days. Now that the area around Xiangyang is our territory, and the people in Xiangyang are also our people, I hope that Master Luo can restrain your subordinates......"

"I understand this, Lao Huang is so interesting, how could I do something that hurts righteousness?" Luo Mengde said with a smile on his face.

"In this way, I have to thank Master Luo." Tian Xiucheng hurriedly arched his hand.

"It's all my own brothers. Tell me something. Luo Mengde said, "That chick just now, you really don't like it?" If you can see it, just take it. You also know, brother, I won't stay here for long, and after a while, I will leave when I have enough energy. Hehe, at that time, it will be fighting everywhere again, and she can keep up with such a girl? There is only one dead end. But just now Lao Tzu forgot to tell her to go down again, she listened to so many things, and Lao Tzu lost her when he couldn't leave. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I know that under my Huang brother, you are the most charitable, she follows you, maybe she can live a few more days. It's like having a kitten or a puppy. If you don't want to, Lao Tzu can only take advantage of the fact that she still has some meat, and when it's time to leave, he will give everyone a tooth sacrifice. Well, you can do it yourself, right? ”

After the woman poured the tea just now, because Luo Mengde didn't tell her to retreat, she didn't dare to go by herself. At this time, after listening to Luo Mengde's words, his face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down all of a sudden, and kowtowed to Tian Xiucheng.

Tian Xiucheng sighed at the woman and said, "You get up." Then he turned to Luo Mengde and said, "In this way, thank Luo Ye." ”

……

After sending Tian Xiucheng away, Luo Mengde asked his subordinate Yang Chengen and nephew Wang Long to call in, told them what Tian Xiucheng said just now, and then asked, "What do you two think about this matter?" ”

"Uncle, Huang Zide's wings are stiff now, he actually treated us like this, if it wasn't for his uncle, he would have ...... a long time ago" As soon as Wang Lung heard Luo Mengde's words, he immediately became angry.

"Huang Zide is willing to speak clearly, and he is already much better than Zhang Bingzhong." Luo Mengde shook his head and said, "Kindness or something, don't care too much." Especially when you are kind to others. If you think that you are kind to others, you will rely on this to think that people will not do anything to you, and you may not know how you died when you die. ”

"King, Huang Zide can make a career, and so can we." Yang Chengen said, "Now that the imperial court has been defeated, we took the sword and shield given by Huang Zide, practiced the soldiers, and then went to Anhui, together with the fifth battalion of the revolution, maybe we can fight in Anhui, or even in Jiangnan." ”
