Twenty-third crossing the river

The relationship between people is sometimes so delicate. A seemingly casual sentence can create a gap between old friends who have known each other for many years. And the same casual sentence can also immediately shorten the distance between two strangers.

The effect of Shi Nai'an's words is like this. The former was originally apprehensive and didn't know how to face Huaiyang. But I suddenly heard in my ears that the late Sesame Li, the big bearer of the red scarf on East Road, and Zhu Chongjiu, the current big boss, actually gave themselves the comments of "great merit". For a while, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself. I feel that even if I die now, my life will not be in vain. At least in the future Chinese history, there will be a distinct trace.

"What you said should be, seriously..."Staring at a boss with red circles, he stammered and asked, lest his ears deceive him, "Zhu, Mr. Zhu really, really said." Tang, Tang is not only, just a swagger, a deceitful stick? ”

"When did the chief manager of my family really use you as a magic stick?" Shi Nai'an wandered the rivers and lakes when he was young, with rich experience, and he also knew more about human feelings. looked at Tang Zihao and asked with a smile.

"Well, that's good. Take me, take me to the Grand Steward. I, Tang has something important and needs to tell him in person..."Tang Zihao's heart warmed again, he let out a sigh and continued to stammer.

If others treat me as a countryman, I should repay them as a countryman. What's more, the mission on his shoulders on this trip originally involved the overall interests of the Red Turban Army? … Therefore, he began to become impatient, eager to fly in front of Zhu Chongjiu and say what he had seen and thought these days.

Seeing him so anxious, Shi Nai'an certainly didn't dare to slack off. Poking his head out of the window and giving a few orders, the whole convoy immediately split in two. The one behind continued to walk to the post house where the heroes from all walks of life were entertained, and the carriage carrying Tang Zihao turned its head and galloped towards the chief manager.

After a while, he came to the gate of the line. Just in time for Xu Hongsan, the commander of the guard brigade, to send another wave of lieutenant generals out, seeing that Shi Nai'an's carriage was in a hurry, he took the initiative to step forward and asked, "What happened, Lord Shi?" Do you need Xu to go to you immediately? ”

"No need, the lord said that I can take someone to see him directly..."Shi Nai'an jumped down from the car door and responded neatly, "It's Tang Zuo's envoy, he came on the orders of Marshal Liu Futong..."

As he spoke, he quietly gave Xu Hongsan a look. The latter immediately understood, took a half step back, and deliberately said loudly: "Oh, is it the Great Light? He's not an outsider, so go in through the side door, and I'll not leave the door open to welcome you. Go through the cloister and go around to the arena. Where is the Lord's justice to be with others... Xiao Xue, come and help the guest get out of the car!"

"Yes..."A fat guard who was five feet wide rushed over, holding Tang Zihao's slightly slender arm with his big fan-like hand.

Tang Zihao suddenly felt that his body was light, and before he could say the kind words, the whole person had already flown to the ground like a feather. The guard, whose name was Xiao Xue, refused to stop, and continued to hold one of his arms, like holding a few taels of tulle, effortlessly lifted him up, and walked lightly into the side door.

Under such a huge force, even if Tang Zihao had any weapons such as swords hidden on his body, he would have already shaken it out. What's more, he didn't contain any adverse intentions in the first place? So, the two sides smiled tacitly, half-pushed, half-pushed, and walked quickly towards the depths of the line.

This line was rebuilt on the ruins of the Zhennan Palace, basically according to the original pattern. However, most of the buildings have been turned into places for departments at all levels to handle official business, and less than one-fifth of the original space has been reserved for Zhu Chongjiu himself. Therefore, the martial arts arena is not far from the gate, and it only takes two or three minutes before and after to get closer.

Zhu Chongjiu was training with Wu Liangmou, the commander of the Fifth Army, inside. But from the perspective of a bystander, it is easy to see that Wu Liangmou can no longer support it. Although his skills are very flexible, the movements of his fists and feet are also quite masterful. But the difference between the two in terms of body shape is really huge. Every round of the fight is like a stone grinding against a sapling, and no matter how hard the latter tries, it is impossible to recover the decline.

"Don't fight, don't fight, the lord's martial arts are strong, and the last general will bow down..."Wu Liangmou originally regarded accompanying Zhu Chongjiu to practice martial arts as a chore. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he immediately jumped out of the circle, arched his hands, and shouted out breathlessly.

"Then don't shout injustice..."Zhu Chongjiu took a wet towel from his own soldiers, and responded loudly while wiping the sweat on his body. You can't even beat me, and you still want to compete with Hu Dahai to be a pioneer? Why should he give you the task on his own initiative? ”

"So, that's not the same thing?" Wu Liang was in a hurry and jumped to protest. "Doing it with the master, many tricks can't be used. But with him"

is telling the truth, competing with Zhu Chongjiu is simply looking for abuse. You can't use any killing moves, you can only tap at non-vital parts. But this kind of gentle blow will not cause any harm to Zhu Chongjiu, who has rough skin and thick flesh. On the contrary, he will take the opportunity to shorten the distance between each other, and launch a murderous counterattack with the advantage of strength.

But in most cases, the truth is equivalent to stupidity. So before Wu Liangmou realized that he had made a fatal mistake, Zhu Chongjiu had already thrown the towel out, "Come on, you kid actually dare to fool Pontus Governor casually." See if Pontus won't beat you to the bones today..."

"Lord, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue..." Wu Liangmou was startled, his legs were vertical, and he jumped out half a foot away. I can't beat you with a trick. The lord's martial arts are the first in the world, and the last general can't move, surrender, surrender... The lord treats the captives preferentially..."

"No surrender... If you don't make a clear statement today, the two of us are not finished..."Zhu Chongjiu chased after him reluctantly, and punched Wu Liangmou twice in the back, seeing that the other party would rather die than fight back, he had to give up.

This is the helplessness of being a prince, as the prestige increases, the whole person becomes more and more lonely. The opportunity to go into battle with a knife is always deprived, and I usually want to find someone to be able to do activities, and I have a martial arts addiction, but no one is willing to take it seriously. It seems that the Zhu butcher who rushed into battle with a pig-killing knife suddenly became a porcelain doll. If you touch it, you will be crushed.

"Well, cough cough, cough cough..." I really couldn't get used to Zhu Chongjiu's rough style, Shi Nai'an coughed lightly next to him a few times, and then arched his hand to remind, "Lord Qiqi, the Great Light Envoy Tang, came to visit on the order of Marshal Liu Futong." According to the lord's previous instructions, Wei Chen has already brought him over directly..."

"Ahh Quickly gave up the ravages of Wu Liangmou, ran to the sidelines to take the coat from the guards, and while wearing it, he smiled and apologized to Tang Zihao, "Zhu is a rough embryo and has not been in battle for a long time, so he is itchy and itchy, which makes Lord Tang laugh..."

"Don't dare, don't dare, where did Mr. Zhu come from? Compared with pretense, the lower officials respect the true temperament of the general manager more..."Tang Zihao immediately arched his hand and bowed to Zhu Chongjiu with the courtesy of his subordinates.

In Yingzhou Red Scarf, he had never seen anyone so close to his subordinates. Even the most approachable Liu Futong gradually has a bit of a domineering aura, and a slight frown is enough to silence the people around him. How can it be like Huai'an, where everyone still maintains their freedom?

In the blink of an eye, the two entered their respective roles. One has re-become the chief of Huaiyang with heavy troops, and the other has become a great envoy with rich experience, Tang Zihao, the capital of the Yingzhou Red Turban Privy Council.

"Tang Da is talented, and he will give it as he did back then..." Zhu Chongjiu first returned a flat salute, and praised it by the way, and finally, he smiled and sent out an invitation, "Let's go, let's go to the council hall and say." There's no place to sit here, so I'm really neglecting my lordship..."

"Okay, might as well..."Tang Zihao didn't think about playing the score, and after instinctively returning to his identity, he began to try to avoid the distance between the two sides from continuing to widen, "It's just to bring a letter to the chief manager for the prime minister of my family." It's the same everywhere..."

"Then let's go to the house... There is a flower hall in front, which is quite cool. I'll have someone make another pot of tea..."Zhu Chongjiu hesitated slightly, smiled and invited again.

Tang Zihao was helpless, so he had to be a host. The two sides walked one after the other, and slowly walked into the lounge next to the martial arts arena. First the guests and hosts took their seats, and then fell into a brief silence.

Zhu Chongjiu didn't know the other party's intentions and was reluctant to speak. Tang Zihao didn't know how to speak. The task given to him by Liu Futong was to clarify the misunderstanding and at the same time bring the Huai'an army as reinforcements. But in doing so, it will inevitably expose that the contradictions within the Yingzhou Red Scarf have reached the point of breaking out. The overall balance of strength between the two sides is becoming more and more skewed.

"Lord Tang said that he had something urgent to see the lord, and the lord once said that if Lord Tang came, there was no need to pay attention to so much red tape." Shi Nai'an couldn't bear to see the cold scene between the two sides, arched his hand, and took the initiative to speak as a foreshadowing.

"Tang has a plan to dedicate to the chief manager... If there is anything inappropriate, please don't blame the chief manager..."Tang Zihao had no way to escape, as long as he stood up and said loudly.

"The Great Light Envoy doesn't have to be so polite..."Zhu Chongjiu smiled and waved his hand, "We are also old friends between us, if there is a teaching, it is too late for Zhu to be happy, how can it be picky?" …”

"That" The great light made Tang Zihao take a deep breath, "Then the lower official will be bold." Just now I heard that Chief Manager Zhu wants to use swords, Tang is not talented, and he is willing to point out a place for the Chief Manager to fight. If you get here, the emperor's foundation will be successful..."
