Ji Bu first took refuge in the Zhou family, originally when Liu Bang did not give an order, Ji Bu lived in his house very well and carefree, but after Chang'an's edict was issued, the situation changed.

At that time, the head of the Zhou family got the news first, and he was terrified, so he immediately summoned Ji Bu, in the living room, the two finished the ceremony, the atmosphere was quite embarrassing, Ji Bu was also refreshed, and asked directly: "What's the matter?" It's hard to say that Ji Bu has a lot of trouble, so saying goodbye is that these days are really troublesome. ”

The head of the Zhou family hurriedly waved his hand, and said helplessly: "I don't know, the Han Emperor has issued an order, and the gold reward is to capture you, the matter is very urgent, and now the soldiers who searched have come to my house, I hope the public can listen to my words and find a safe place to shelter as soon as possible." ”

Ji Bu was also shocked when he heard this, "The Han Emperor attaches so much importance to a certain person, it is really a blessing for three lives, since this is the case, please give me some advice, Bu is grateful." ”

"The dress of the prince is not much different from when he followed the king of Chu, it is the easiest to be discovered, although the strategy of this is vulgar, but it is absolutely practical, and I hope that the prince will not be disgusted." The head of the Zhou family said slowly.

"Bu Ben is a dead man, let alone care about this matter, although the public said, Bu He dislikes it." Ji Bu said very happily, there is no way to do it.

"So-and-so means that the public pretends to be a slave and takes refuge in other places, and when the limelight passes, so-and-so will find an opportunity to take the public back, what do you think?" The head of the Zhou family said in a low voice.

Ji Bu thought about it, he had already received the help of the Zhou family to ask for difficulties, and now the official government has arrived, if he stays here, it will definitely be a burden, based on this, it is better to leave, although he pretends to be a slave, but at least he has a life.

Ji Bu pondered for a long time, but still agreed to the arrangement of the head of the Zhou family, so the Zhou family shaved off all Ji Bu's hair, tied his neck with an iron hoop, put on coarse cloth clothes, and then put him in the cart that transported goods, and there were already dozens of slaves of the Zhou family who were sold to the Zhu family in Ludi with Ji Bu.

When the Zhou family sold slaves, they had instructed many times, including the soldiers of the Chu State, who had a promise of a thousand gold, and the Zhu family pondered it so carefully, they knew in their hearts that this person must be Ji Bu, so they bought Ji Bu and placed him in the field to cultivate.

The Zhu family was still quite polite to Ji Bu, and the head of the family once warned his son: "In the fields of farming, you must obey the orders of this servant, and you must eat the same meal as him." ”

If the family dares to disobey the head of the family, they will naturally be obedient to Ji Bu and never dare to offend, but the notice of the government is not casually pasted, and the matter of bounty for catching Ji Bu soon spread to Ludi.

At this time, the Zhu family also panicked, thinking that the nearest place was the house of Marquis Xiahou of Ruyin, he and Liu Bang were good friends, if they were to maneuver around, they might be able to save Ji Bu's life, and it could be regarded as the Yin virtue of the Zhu family.

Therefore, the head of the family took a light carriage to Luoyang, and now Xiahou Ying, since the elimination of the Chu State, stayed in the fiefdom, rarely went out to meet guests, and lived a chic life, and usually liked to receive guests, which was also a comfortable place for the ancient princes and princes, as long as there was a fief, there was no need to work at all.

On the same day, the head of the family met with the Marquis of Ruyin, Xiahou Ying, the local people called Teng Gong, is also a kind of honorific title, Xiahou Ying saw that the Zhu family came from a long distance, and was greatly moved, so he stayed at home to eat a few meals, drank wine for a few days, and when the family left, he finally remembered his mission, and he intended to talk about Ji Bu.

In the living room, after three rounds of drinking, Xiahou Ying was slightly drunk, and the head of the family took the opportunity to say to Xiahou Ying: "Today is Ji Bu's reward of gold, dare to ask Ji Bu what big crime he has committed, Your Majesty is so anxious to arrest him?" ”

Xiahou Ying pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Chu General Ji Bu has defeated His Majesty for Xiang Yu many times, and today is stable, His Majesty is resentful in his heart, so he must be caught before he is willing to give up." ”

The Zhu family said: "I see, but I heard about Ji Bu's deeds in the early years, what do you think Ji Bu is a person?" Is it really as unsightly as the notice says? ”

When Xiahou Ying heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said with some amazement: "He is a talented person, otherwise he would not have defeated the Han family soldiers many times and won many victories for Xiang Yu." ”

The head of the family immediately took a sip of warm wine, and his expression was slightly regretful, "At the beginning of the chaos at the end of Qin, it was just a matter for Ji Bu to be sent by Xiang Yu, this is completely within the scope of his duties, and the defeat of the Han army should praise its center, why is it so unbearable to slander Ji Buye?" Is Xiang Yu's subordinates going to be killed all? ”

"Now Your Majesty has just won the world, and he has never thought of starting to hunt down a person with personal grievances, and he really shows the world that his weapons are small! Besides, with Ji Bu's virtuous ability, the Han Dynasty pursued it so urgently, so that the Central Plains had no place for him, and he would definitely go north to the Xiongnu, or go south to Huiji, recruit troops and buy horses, wouldn't it be a hidden danger of the Han Dynasty? ”

"Don't Your Majesty know that this kind of jealousy of virtue and going to fund the enemy country is extremely stupid, the reason why Wu Zixu wanted to whip the body of King Chuping in the first place, doesn't Your Majesty know that as a founding hero, he shouldn't look for an opportunity to explain something to the emperor? Otherwise, Your Majesty will only make mistakes again and again! ”

Xiahou Ying listened carefully, and these words were obviously justifying Ji Bu, and the people in Ludi knew that the head of the Zhu family was a person in a narrow sense, so they felt that Ji Bu must be hiding in him.

So, he bowed his head on the wine table, "What the public said is very true, and a certain tomorrow will send a letter of advice to comfort His Majesty, treat Ji Bu with courtesy, so that he will not be afraid all day long." ”

After Xiahou Ying left, he really explained this matter to Liu Bang according to the Zhu family's intentions, and Liu Bang felt justified after hearing it, so he pardoned Yingbu and no longer pursued it.

In Chang'an City, when the officials heard about this, they all admired Ji Bu very much, and felt that he could bend and stretch and survive in the cracks, and the Zhu family became famous in the local area.

Liu Bang heard the voices of the people praising Ji Bu, thinking that this matter was the public's thought, as His Majesty, it would be better to push it down the river and give the people of the world a face.

Therefore, he summoned Ji Bu to the palace and asked him if he knew his mistake, and Ji Bu immediately said that he had indeed made a directional mistake at that time, and did not follow His Majesty to fight the world, so that he now regrets it in his heart and expresses his confession.

Liu Bang listened to it, and was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that this old boy could speak, and he would change his mistakes, so he immediately accepted him as Langzhong, whose duty was to manage the security of the palace, and Ji Bu's ending was perfect.

But there is one person who is different, and his end is a little more miserable.
