Peng Yue was stunned for a moment, turned his head and squinted his eyes to look Fan Han Xin up and down, thinking about it for a while. I am sure that I really have no impression of this young man at all, and I don't know where Liu Bang found the stunned little brother, and I saw that although he is good at swordsmanship, he seems to know some martial arts, but he is thin and weak, and he does not look like a powerful person.

Peng Yue is a rough man, although he is strong in martial arts, his vision is not high, in his concept, high martial arts is equivalent to great strength. To have a lot of strength, of course, the figure must be burly, such as a strong man like Fan Xu, as for the body like Zhou Boxia Hou Ying, it is just relying on some fancy fists and embroidered legs, if you meet him Peng Yue, it won't take long to beat him and vomit blood.

Therefore, Peng Yue was not optimistic about Han Xin in his heart, and he would never be able to pay for him.

After thinking for a while, Peng Yue gritted his teeth and answered; "Okay, Liu Ji, don't regret it." After speaking, he grabbed the big knife and shouted and slashed at Han Xin.

When Han Xin saw him killing him, he couldn't help crying and laughing, thinking that this Liu Bang was really unkind, so he pulled him into the water casually. However, I have to say that Liu Bang's vision is really good, and he picked himself.

Seeing that Peng Yue had already been killed, Han Xin had no time to think about it, so he had to draw his sword to fight.

Peng Yue's big sword was blocked by Han Xin's sword, only to feel that the strength of Han Xin's sword was not small, and he was not weak at all, so he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, thinking that he didn't know where a strong martial arts kid appeared. I vaguely felt bad in my heart, maybe I had fallen for Liu Bang's tricks. At the moment, I had to fight hard with a twelve-point spirit, waving a knife and fighting hard.

Han Xin and Peng Yue took over more than ten moves, and they roughly figured out his knife path. Peng Yue is the same as Xiang Yu, the sword technique takes the road of domineering, but Peng Yue's strength is naturally incomparable with Xiang Yu, it is not difficult for Han Xin to defeat him, the difficulty is only how to win. So I wasn't in a hurry, and I was very patient with Peng Yue.

After dozens of moves, Peng Yue's fierce knife was dodged by Han Xin, but when he returned the knife, a gap was revealed under his ribs, Han Xin took the opportunity to make a move, and the fish intestines went straight to his heart like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, but the blade of the sword stopped dangerously half an inch in front of Peng Yue.

He and Peng Yue had no enmity, but they were dragged into the water by Liu Bangqiang, so they didn't want to hurt him.

Peng Yue was stunned and looked at the sword blade on his chest, his face was like ashes. Suddenly he threw the big knife on the ground with a long sigh, and said; "Liu Ji, you won, my life is here, if you want to kill, you will kill. I have the personal token I carried in my arms, you take it to the Chen Chamber of Commerce in Tancheng, and say that it was sent by me Peng Yue to get the money. ”

After speaking, Peng Yue never looked at Liu Bang again, just closed his eyes and waited for death.

Liu Bang saw that Peng Yue, a thief, could keep his promise so much, and he couldn't help but be a little impressed by him, and his heart suddenly moved, and he had an idea. Looking up to the sky and laughing, Liu Bang walked forward quickly, patted Peng Yue's shoulder violently, met Peng Yue's confused eyes, and smiled; "Sure enough, you are a good man, and I Liu Bang admires you most in my life. Today, when I Liu Bang can't stand you, brother, you can go. ”

Peng Yue's eyes showed an incredible look, "You let me go back?" ”

"Of course." Liu Bang nodded.

Peng Yue's face showed joy, hesitated again, and took out a bronze medal from his chest, "Liu Bang, this is my savings for many years, please accept it, and when I Peng Yue bought this life." ”

Liu Bang pushed with his big hand and pretended to be angry; "What are you talking about, I just appreciate that you are a man, so I have the heart to make friends, but you insult me with yellow and white things, and look down on me Liu Bang too much!"

Peng Yue's tiger body shook violently, and his eyes when he looked at Liu Bang were not only full of gratitude, but also full of admiration. gritted his teeth, knelt in front of Liu Bang, and bowed; "In the past, Peng Yue had no eyes and didn't know the real hero. Peng Yue is willing to worship you as the eldest brother, in this life, only the eldest brother's order is obeyed, and I hope that the eldest brother will accept me. ”

Liu Bang was overjoyed in his heart, but there was no trace on his face, and he hurriedly helped Peng Yue up, and said that he didn't dare to dare it, Peng Yue was indeed straight, and he insisted that he had to worship Liu Bang as his eldest brother and listen to his orders. Liu Bang looked like he was 'reluctantly', and was forced to reluctantly agree.

Han Xin only felt funny on the side, and Liu Bang's little caution naturally couldn't hide from him. But I have to say that Liu Bang's hand is really beautiful, Peng Yue is a person who attaches great importance to faithfulness, Liu Bang not only got Peng Yue's money and power with such a hand, but also accepted a little brother who is obedient and strong in martial arts.

Han Xin glanced at Liu Bang meaningfully, thinking that this person is scheming and ambitious, he must be very human, once the world changes, it is very likely to take advantage of the situation. It seems that Liu Bang is one of the few names remembered about this era in his memory, and it is no accident that this Liu Bang will achieve great achievements in the future, and he will not lose to Xiang Yu.

Thinking of this, Han Xin couldn't help but blame himself, the only few history classes he had taken before were either skipping class and surfing the Internet or dozing off and sleeping, otherwise he wouldn't be as ignorant as he is now, and he could only guess out of thin air.

Liu Bang over there was introducing Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying and Zhou Bo to Peng Yue, but he looked happy. Han Xinzhong was jealous of Liu Bang and didn't want to make more friends with him, so he made an excuse and said that he was in a hurry and left.

Following Xiahou Ying to the Land Temple to retrieve the horses, Han Xin and Ying Ke continued their journey north.

*******

When Liu Bang returned home, it was getting late, and he saw his wife Lu Pheasant sitting outside the door waiting from a distance. Seeing Liu Bang go home, Lu Pheasant greeted him.

"Husband, I'm back." Lu Pheasant took the sack in Liu Bang's hand and asked gently.

"Yes." Liu Bang nodded absentmindedly and entered the room to sit at the table. I saw a few dishes on the table, although they were simple green beans and vegetables, there was a shallow layer of attractive oil on them, and it seemed that Lu Pheasant had worked these shoddy foods.

"I ate with the butchers outside, you can eat it yourself, if I come back too late in the future, you don't have to wait for me."

Lu Pheasant was squatting down and took the shoes that Liu Bang had taken off, and nodded when he heard the words, "It's okay for me to arrive, it's okay to eat later and wait for my husband, Ying'er, I let him eat first, and I just fell asleep." ”

After speaking, Lu Pheasant stood up, went to the kitchen and brought out a basin of hot water and put it in front of Liu Bang. saw Liu Bang sitting there thoughtfully, looking at the table in a daze, so he asked; "What's wrong, husband, is something wrong?"

Liu Bang nodded, "Lao Xiao came to me in the afternoon and said that the county government had a new batch of laborers to be sent to Xianyang Lishan to repair the emperor's mausoleum, and the county commander personally named me to send it." ”

"When?"

"I said I would get up tomorrow morning."

Lu Pheasant was slightly surprised, "It's so urgent." ”

"Yes." Liu Bang nodded, "Xianyang's side is urging very tightly, and the county magistrate is also trying his best to make up for this batch of labor." ”

Lu Pheasant helped Liu Bang take off his cloth socks, reached out to test the temperature of the water, and gently put his feet into the hot water. Liu Bang's feet were hot, and he only felt that all the pores on his body were tightened, and it was extremely comfortable, and he couldn't help but hum softly.

This is where Liu Bang is satisfied with his wife, no matter how shrewd and capable he is in front of others, and he is a good housekeeper, Lu Pheasant must be virtuous and obedient in front of him Liu Bang, and never play the temper of a rich lady.

Lu Pheasant gently stirred the hot water, and said with a little sadness on his face; "I'm afraid it's not so simple for you to send labor this time, and the labor that was hastily assembled will inevitably be mixed, unlike our villagers who know the roots, and they won't be completely reliable, if someone escapes along the way, then you are a big crime. It's best for you to go out this time with Tuzi, as well as Zhou Bo and Xiahou Ying, one more brother on the road, and one more care. ”

Liu Bang nodded and promised; "Of course I know." closed his eyes and enjoyed the gentle technique of Lu Pheasant, and spoke again; "I heard Lao Xiao say that there are more than a dozen thieves in Surabaya County, although the scale is not large, only a few dozen people, but it makes the hearts of the people in the county fluctuate, and many people who do not want to serve in labor and military service have run to defect."

Lu Pheasant threw himself to concentrate on the kung fu in his hand, and said when he heard the words; "I also heard that Wang Zhong next door went to Tancheng to sell some dates, but he encountered robbers on the official road and was robbed. This world is really getting more and more chaotic, not only have to pay so heavy taxes and serve military service, but also have to guard against these thieves. ”

Liu Bang took a long breath, "If Daqin continues like this, it will be finished sooner or later." It seems that we have to plan ahead in order to survive and be rich in troubled times. ”

Hearing this, Lu Pheasant raised his head, and looked at his husband with a pair of beautiful eyes, his eyes full of expectations.

This is what she admires about Liu Bang, and she willingly gave up her identity as a rich lady to follow Liu Bang to endure hardships.

Speaking of the combination of Lu Pheasant and Liu Bang, it is an anecdote. Because Duke Lu offended the heroes of his hometown, he came to Pei County to avoid trouble, because the county order of Pei County was his old friend for many years. When Lu Gong just lived in Pei County, the county officials and gentry heard that the county magistrate's family had a distinguished guest, so they all came to pool money and drink. The person responsible for receiving the congratulatory gift was Xiao He, the official of Pei County. At this banquet, Xiao He received the gift. According to the rules, people who donate less than 1,000 can only drink alcohol in the hall; Only those who have pooled together more than 1,000 can come to the church to drink. Liu Bang passed by the gate of the Lu Mansion and smelled a burst of wine, so he wanted to go over to see the excitement, but was stopped by the servants outside the door who saw that his clothes were tattered and sloppy. Liu Bang couldn't help but be furious, so he shouted 'Surabaya Pavilion Chief Liu Jihe Qianwan', and came directly to the hall. In fact, at that time, Liu Bang was poor and didn't take a single one.

When Lu Gong heard 'Liu Jihe, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, Qian Wan', he was greatly surprised, and quickly got up to greet him. Because 'He Qianwan' was a very remarkable number at the time. Judging from the rules of the banquet, anyone who pays a thousand dollars is considered a distinguished guest, and he must be invited to the hall to drink. Taking 10,000 dollars, of course, is a big surprise. Judging from the identity of the person who came, there are many people who are higher than the pavilion chief, but none of them are 'He Qianwan'. Taking 10,000 dollars, of course, is a big surprise. Later, of course, Lu Gong knew that Liu Bang could not get 'He Qianwan', but he admired Liu Bang's courage and temperament. Lu Gong has another characteristic, he is very superstitious. Therefore, he was also very surprised by the face of Liu Bang, who spoke loudly, and saw that his forehead was square, but both sides were protruding, and he faintly looked like a dragon statue.

After the guests left, Lu Gong said to Liu Bang: I have been a very face-to-face person in my life, but I have never seen you like this. I have a daughter who I want to give you as a wife, and I hope you don't dislike it. Liu Bang didn't have a wife at this time, and when he heard that there was such a good thing, of course he was overjoyed and immediately agreed. However, Lu Gong's wife did not agree to Lu Gong's marriage: You usually always say that our daughter is a rich and noble minister, and you want to promise a rich family, Pei County is so good to you, you don't agree to his marriage proposal, why do you have to marry this Liu Ji? Lu Gong replied: This is not known to the sons and daughters.

Lu Pheasant has been extremely respectful of his father since he was a child, so he has no objection to him marrying Liu Bang, who is fifteen years older than him. After getting married for a long time, I found that Liu Bang did have a unique and desirable temperament, so I became more and more sure of my father's judgment.

Liu Bang saw that his lady was stunned, so he called a few words, and Lu Pheasant came back to his senses, smiled a little apologetically, and wiped Liu Bang's feet dry with a dry cloth.

"Xianggong, it's not early, you can rest early, there is still some wheat at home, I will help you make some cakes to eat on the road."

Liu Bang watched Lu Pheasant stand up and pick up the footbasin, and his heart was suddenly a little moved. When Lu Pheasant married him, she was still a young and beautiful rich lady, but she was a poor man in her thirties, but she followed her hard, not only virtuous and dignified, but also a good family. If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Gently stretched out her hand to hold Lu Pheasant, "Lady, I have really suffered you over the years, I, Liu Bang, swear that if I am rich and noble in the future, I will not fail you." ”

Lu Pheasant smiled lightly and gently held Liu Bang's hand, "Husband, with your words, even if I am tired and hard, I am willing." ”
