Zhu Youcheng recognized clearly that the bearded man was Xiong Tingbi. However, Xiong Tingbi didn't know Zhu Youcheng. Although he has seen Zhu Youcheng and has a deep impression of that clever child, after all, two years have passed, and after the ups and downs of life, how can he still remember Zhu Youcheng's appearance?

Xiong Tingbi saw a young man coming over with a bright silver gun, reached out and grabbed the tip of the gun with disdain, and said, "Little doll, go back and drink milk." Your trick is not enough to see in front of my old bear. ”

Zhu Youcheng didn't dare to compete with Xiong Tingbi - Xiong Tingbi was a martial artist, and now he was in the prime of life, and his strength might not be comparable to him. Zhu Youcheng turned the silver gun, and Xiong Tingbi hurriedly withdrew his hand. Although he is strong in martial arts, he is not invulnerable, and he will be injured if he is swept by a gun.

Zhu Youcheng took back the gun and said with a smile: "That's how Lord Xiong repaid your life-saving benefactor?" ”

Xiong Tingbi's eyes froze: "You are Zhu Youcheng?" ”

"It's like a fake."

"What kind of lifesaver are you? Forcing my daughter to marry your subordinate. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me as your savior. It should be regarded as a good transaction, the so-called business is not benevolent and righteous, and the business is benevolent and righteous. Your daughter married Mr. Liu, and I fished you out, so it can be said that everyone is happy. What do you mean when you come to the children's playground early in the morning to make trouble? ”

Xiong Tingbi was speechless, and could only say hesitantly: "You...... You are not a gentleman, and a gentleman does not want to repay his kindness. You...... You're a pure villain. ”

"I'm a child, can't Lord Bear see it?" Zhu Youcheng blinked his big watery eyes, which were extremely cute.

Zhu Youcheng threw the bright silver spear to his subordinates, made a gesture of please, and said: "This official is very cultivated, and he is a guest from afar, please." ”

was ridiculed by Zhu Youcheng for such a gag, Xiong Tingbi didn't come out of anger, so he had to follow him to the living room sullenly.

Zhu Youcheng sent someone to inform King Xin and asked him to come with him to receive Xiong Tingbi. It doesn't hurt to let the future Emperor Chongzhen meet the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiong Tingbi was mistaken, and said, "What, want two people to deal with my old bear alone?" Lao Tzu's thousands of troops have come over like this, are you still afraid of the two of you? ”

Zhu Youcheng beckoned, and his subordinates served two cups of tea.

Zhu Youcheng said: "Why is Lord Xiong so angry? Come, try this tea. This is tribute tea, the first emperor gave the name Biluochun. Biluochun is green tea, green tea can dissipate fire, let's talk about it after drinking. ”

Daming pop served tea to send guests, Xiong Tingbi said in his heart: "Could it be that I said that I broke my mind and wanted to drive me away?" ”

He pretended not to know, but saw Zhu Youcheng take a sip of the teacup and take a sip of it. Only this mouthful, Xiong Tingbi felt that this tea was indeed a tribute tea, the fragrance of the tea was rich and natural, and after a sip of tea, he felt that the 48,000 pores of the whole body were all comfortable. He took a sip, lifted the tea bowl, and drank it down.

The servants of the children's paradise were very discerning, and when they saw that Xiong Tingbi's tea bowl was dry, they hurriedly stepped forward to fill it with water.

Zhu Youcheng said with a smile: "Lord Xiong is really a person who leads troops to fight, and he is so arrogant when he even drinks tea. ”

Xiong Tingbi thought at first that Zhu Youcheng was sarcastically saying that he hadn't drunk good tea, and when he saw the good tea in the children's paradise, he poured his anger violently, but when he saw Zhu Youcheng's sincere smile, he dispelled this suspicion.

King Xin came, and he had a very good impression of Xiong Tingbi, who was loyal to the country, and said: "Since Lord Xiong likes this kind of tea so much, I will wrap a pound and go back." Anyway, Brother Cheng will send people to Jiangsu every year to buy, and we can't use it up. ”

When the subordinates heard King Xin's order, they hurriedly wrapped a bag of Biluochun, tied it up, and put it next to Xiong Tingbi.

It stands to reason that Zhu Youcheng and King Xin entertained Xiong Tingbi so warmly and saved his life, not to mention gratitude, at least a few words of thanks. But Xiong Tingbi's IQ is good, his EQ is too low, and what he said almost made Zhu Youcheng jump to his feet.

"Well, I can't compare to you. You are the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, and you can get the endless favor of the Son of Heaven without doing anything. ”

"That's not right, Lord Xiong. It's good that you are a famous minister who resisted Jiannu, but Brother Cheng is also very powerful. He caught one of the sons and two grandsons of the thief chieftain Nuer Hachi, all of whom had been sentenced to the canonical punishment, and everyone in the capital knew about it. How many sons and grandsons have you captured? Brother Cheng is still the Ming Dynasty's civil and military double solution yuan, civil and military double meeting yuan, civil and military double champion, even six yuan, I don't know how many yuan Lord Xiong has won? Seeing that Zhu Youcheng was ridiculed by Xiong Tingbi, King Xin said unconvinced.

Xiong Tingbi was speechless, and what King Xin said was well-founded and could not refute it.

Zhu Youcheng saw Xiong Tingbi's embarrassment, and said: "I understand Lord Xiong's feelings, I have such a big black pot in Liaodong, and I still have to marry my daughter to save my life, I'm really a little unconvinced, isn't it?" ”

Xiong Tingbi nodded heavily.

"But if you think about it, your daughter doesn't have the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and she is ashamed of a flower in the moon. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been able to save you, even if she tried her best. And I didn't force her, you also know that your daughter Xiong Hu and Jinyi Wei Deputy Qianhu Liu Jingting are in love, as adults, we should be Yucheng. ”

After Zhu Youcheng said this, King Xin nodded his head on the side.

If it weren't for his beloved daughter, Xiong Tingbi would really laugh. Not to mention Liu Jingting, who is middle-aged than people, even if they are a young daughter, they are a lot younger, but now they are talking like adults here.

"But Liu Jingting is just a joke, you let Ben ......" Xiong Tingbi habitually wanted to call himself his official, but remembered that he had been cut to the people, so he changed his words, "Ben...... The old man's daughter married him, didn't she look down on people? ”

"Lord Xiong, please be careful." Zhu Youcheng said solemnly, "Liu Jingting is now the deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei, and he is already an official, so you can't despise him." ”

"Master Zhu, I have to talk about you about this matter. You are also a martial champion, and you know who the army needs, and why everyone is stuffed into the Jinyi Guard. Don't you know, how did the Later Tang Zhuangzong die? ”

"Lord Xiong, there is no talent in this world that cannot be used, only leaders who cannot use people. I remember that when Emperor Shenzong Xian conquered the Japanese, there was a rogue liar Shen Weijing, who dealt with the Japanese slave country and bought time for the Ming Dynasty to fight, and it can be said that the victory of the Japanese conquest has his share of credit. Do you think he can use it? What is the war fought? It's technology, materials, and morale. Part of the Ming army collapsed at the touch of a button on the front line, is it because the army is not well trained? No, it's no morale. Soldiers don't know why they're fighting, so they make it their first priority to save their lives. One person fled, leading hundreds of people to flee, and hundreds of people fled and the whole army was defeated, and even the superintendent team could not control the situation. The official invited Liu Jingting because he took a fancy to his eloquence, which could raise the morale of the whole army, let the soldiers know why they were fighting, and create an army that would not be defeated. Don't look at him as a deputy Qianhu, I will slowly give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future, so that he can be promoted a few more levels. ”

Xiong Tingbi was speechless for a long time when he heard this, and after being silent for a long time, he stood up, bowed deeply to Zhu Youcheng, and said, "Xiong has been taught." ”

Zhu Youcheng hurriedly returned the salute, and his mouth was polite.

After the two of them sat down again, Zhu Youcheng said: "Lord Xiong, remember that I once reminded you not to go to Liaodong, but you still went. If you listen to my good advice, why would you end up where you are today? ”

"But I am determined to serve the country loyally......"

"Come on, you have to protect yourself first if you are loyal to the country. The Donglin Party obviously set up a trap in Liaodong, but you stupidly got into it and was willing to be a scapegoat for others. Do you call this loyalty to the country? The current Liaodong strategy is Wang Zaijin, who has a strategy but no generals, and the court will definitely replace him in a few months. If you didn't go to Liaodong at that time, the current Liaodong strategy must be you, which really gives you the opportunity to serve the country loyally. But now that the emperor has cut you to the people, every qiē is a mirror. ”

The more Xiong Tingbi thought about it, the more he felt that Zhu Youcheng was reasonable, he had been in the officialdom for so many years, why couldn't he understand this truth?

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years. Lord Zhu, I regret not being at the beginning......"

"Lord Xiong, where are you going next?" King Shin interjected and asked.

"Hey, I don't know either. This morning, wandering around aimlessly, my heart was upset, and I happened to see the sign of the children's playground, so I came here to make trouble and cause you trouble. The old man can't make amends to you here. ”

"Or ...... You join Jinyi Weixi Zhenfuji. King Xin sincerely invited.

Xiong Tingbi was concerned about Daming, let him go home to farm, he was really helpless in his heart, and he was ecstatic when he heard that he could still join the army, but he remembered the emperor's sentence "never use it", and couldn't help but be silent.

Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he asked, "Okay?" The emperor has already said that he will never use it, can he still enter the brocade guard? ”
