The rain curtain was heavy, and the scene in front of him was covered in a misty mist, and when I looked ahead, five or six steps away was already a fog, and even the faces of people could not be seen really.

In a clearing outside the town, Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, and Tang Ji snuggled up to him, holding an umbrella to protect him from the rain. Behind them, there stood two men with one hand on their waists and the other on the hilt of their swords, although the two men were drenched in the rain, but the expressions on their faces were very solemn, and their eyes were level with the front without even blinking, like two statues carved from stone.

More than 20 men dressed in armor and armor lined up in two rows and stood facing each other. Zhou Cang crossed his waist with one hand and pressed the long sword at his waist with the other, standing in front of a small earthen bag that had just been built.

Dian Wei stood facing the dirt slope, and from behind, his tall body looked a little vicissitudes.

With a bend of his knees, Dian Wei knelt on the muddy ground, and when his knees landed, he stirred up a piece of mud, kowtowed three times in a row to the bulge, and shouted in a sad tone: "Mother, the child is not filial, for the sake of the child, the mother has never even had a day of peace......"

At this point, Dian Wei couldn't cry. Zhou Cang, who was standing next to the dirt slope, moved, as if he wanted to step forward to appease, and Liu Wei, who was standing side by side with Tang Ji holding an umbrella, shook his head at him.

Glancing at Liu Wei, Zhou Cang retracted his feet knowingly and retreated.

The group of men who helped bury Dian Wei's mother were all standing far away, and the men who had been cut by Liu Wei with a small wound on his neck were even more leaning over, peeking at Liu Wei from time to time.

Liu Wei beckoned to the man, and the man hurriedly bowed down and trotted to Liu Wei.

"How much copper do you need?" When the man arrived, Liu Wei didn't look at him, but just looked at Dian Wei, who was kneeling in the rain, and asked lightly.

"Back to Mr., the coffin is half a copper coin, and the person who lifts the weight should be rewarded with half a hanging, and the rest of the people will be given ten wen and eight wen each." The man leaned forward, and when he replied to Liu's defense, his eyes would sneak a glance at him from time to time, but then he would lower his head, looking a little trembling.

"Give him ten hangings." Liu Wei gave an order to the two men standing behind him, and then said to the man standing in front of him: "This matter is very good, you take this money, pay it to everyone, and the rest will be yours." ”

"Such a heavy reward, how dare the villain take ......" for Dian Wei's mother's funeral, the total amount of money spent is only two hangings, Liu Wei gave ten hangings at a time, and there are enough eight hangings of money to reward this man, he has been in the market for a long time, how he doesn't know the truth that some money will lose his life if he takes it, so he hurriedly bowed down and refused, not daring to accept it.

"You deserve it." Squinted at the man, and dropped a sentence, Liu Wei raised his feet and walked towards Dian Wei, who was kneeling in front of the tomb, and Tang Ji, who was holding an umbrella, hurriedly followed behind him and held an umbrella for him to cover the rain.

The man who had arranged for Liu Wei's mother's funeral bowed down and hugged his fists, watching the two of them walk towards the tomb, and the two men standing behind Liu Wei just now walked in front of him, one of them carried ten hanging money, threw it on the ground under his feet, and waved his hand at him.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, Master Jun!" The man picked up the copper coin from the muddy ground and thanked the two men who were wearing the armor of officers and soldiers and were drenched in rain.

The two men ignored him, turned around and followed Liu Wei to the tomb.

Walking to Dian Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply, and bowed towards the tomb.

Dian Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, heard footsteps behind him, felt that someone was standing beside him, and hurriedly looked up to the side, just in time to see Liu Wei clasping his hands into fists, bowing deeply and bowing to the tomb.

"Sir......" Dian Wei's face was covered with rain, and his eye sockets were also moist, and when he saw Liu Wei saluting towards the tomb, his Adam's apple moved twice, and he choked up.

Liu Wei saluted to the tomb, and Zhou Cang and all the men turned to face the direction of the tomb, and bowed to the tomb in unison.

Dian Weihe, who had been on the run all along, had thought that his mother's funeral would be so beautiful, straightened up and knelt facing the tomb, and shouted: "Mother, do you see it? Sir has come to see you too......"

Having said this, Dian Wei only felt as if something was stuffed in his throat, and he couldn't say the rest of the words anymore.

Bowing his head and glancing at Dian Wei who was kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei turned around, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and walked aside with Tang Ji, who was holding an umbrella.

He had only walked a few steps, Dian Wei stood up, walked two steps quickly to follow, and said to him with a fist: "Sir, the old lady has been buried, and from today onwards, a certain life is Mr.'s!" ”

Liu Wei stopped, turned to Dian Wei, and said to him: "From today on, you are my brother, don't say that your life is mine in the future." ”

"No!" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment by Liu Wei's words, and responded with his hands clasped into fists.

"Let's go!" Liu Wei turned around, shared an umbrella with Tang Ji, and walked towards the direction of the town. Zhou Cang and the men also hurriedly followed.

Dian Wei and Zhou Cang walked side by side, Zhou Cang was relatively tall in the crowd, but when he walked with Dian Wei, he was half a head shorter than him.

Turning his head to look at Dian Wei, Zhou Cang smacked his mouth twice.

Hearing the sound of Zhou Cang's smacking mouth, Dian Wei also turned his head to look at him, with some doubt on his face.

Seeing Dian Wei looking at him, Zhou Cangcai hurriedly turned his face away.

Everyone entered the town, and as soon as they returned to Zhu Jun's house, Liu Wei saw Zhu Jun running over with a servant.

"Sir!" When he arrived in front of Liu Bian, Zhu Jun looked left and right, hugged his fists and said deeply to Liu Bian: "Mr. has been out of the country for half a day, but someone came back to get some copper coins, which really worries the old man. ”

"Da Si Nong is too worried!" Zhu Jun saluted him, which always made Liu Wei feel a little frizzy in his heart, and he didn't return the salute, waved his hand at Zhu Jun and said, "What do you want to say to you?" ”

"Please come with the old man." Standing under the umbrella held by the servant behind him, Zhu Jun bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei.

When Liu Wei raised his feet and followed Zhu Jun to the backyard, Dian Wei turned his head to look at Zhou Cang on the side, and whispered: "I heard that this old man is a senior official of the imperial court, how can he be so respectful to Mr. ”

"You'll find out later." Chao Dianwei glanced at it, Zhou Cang didn't answer his question, just raised his feet and followed Liu Wei towards the backyard.

Standing there stunned for a moment, Dian Wei also followed towards the inner courtyard. In addition to the two of them, there were two other men who followed Liu Wei into the inner courtyard despite being drenched in the rain, and the others went back to their rooms to change their dry clothes and armor.

Although Dian Wei and Zhou Cang were not very loud when they spoke, Liu Wei, who walked away first, still listened to it clearly.

Dian Wei gave people the feeling of being a little reckless, and people like him could see that Zhu Jun's behavior was a little strange, let alone others.

Following Zhu Jun and passing through the long wooden corridor, Liu Wei came to the room where he had seen Zhu Jun the day before.

This time Zhu Jun did not arrange a general to guard the door, after Liu Wei and Tang Ji entered the house, Dian Wei and Zhou Cang also followed into the house, and the two men who followed behind stood behind the door after entering the house and closed the door.

"The sinner knocks to see His Highness!" After everyone entered the house, Zhu Jun bent his legs, knelt in front of Liu Bian, looked up at Liu Biao and said: "The criminal has received the news that Niu Fu has already led people here, please be careful with Your Highness." ”

As soon as Zhu Jun's words came out, except for Tang Ji and Zhou Cang, who had already known the identity of Liu Wei before, they did not show surprise. Dian Wei, who had just returned, and the two men standing by the door were stunned.

Dian Wei only thought that Liu Wei must be a nobleman, but he never thought that he would be a highness. And those two men followed Liu Wei all the way, and they never heard Liu Wei reveal their identities, Zhu Jun called them so, but they were taken aback.

"Humph!" Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, snorted coldly, turned his face cold, and said to Zhu Jun: "How does Niu Fu know that I am waiting here, I'm afraid Dasi Nong knows better than anyone else!" ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, Zhu Jun hurriedly lowered his head, and he didn't even dare to look at him more.

"Dong Zhuo's old thief is bent on putting this king to death and hurrying up, I didn't expect you Zhu Jun to be Dong Zhuo's accomplice, but my King Hongnong has mistaken you as an old minister!" Liu Wei flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned his body back, and said in a cold voice: "Zhu Jun, let me ask you, why did you secretly report the whereabouts of this king to Niu Fu?" And why should I warn the king in advance? ”

At the beginning, Zhou Cang was in the Yellow Turban Army, and he also fought many times with the officers and soldiers led by Zhu Jun, and saw many Yellow Turban soldiers die in the hands of Zhu Jun.

As soon as he heard Liu Wei call out Zhu Jun's name, Zhou Cang's eyes suddenly widened, and he glared at Zhu Jun fiercely.

Zhu Jun knelt on the ground, his body trembled slightly, and he didn't reply for a long time. Zhou Cang took a step forward, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, and scolded in a low voice: "Old horseman, you dare to murder Your Highness, today I will tear you into two pieces, see how you collude with the thief again!" ”

"Yuanfu stop!" The neckline was grabbed by Zhou Cang, Zhu Jun raised his head, two lines of old tears had already burst out of his eyes, Liu Wei with his hands behind his back turned around, and drank a sentence towards Zhou Cang, and then stared at Zhu Jun's face full of sorrow without blinking: "Dasi Nong's move is probably to protect Liu Xie in the court." ”

Zhou Cang let go of the hand holding Zhu Jun's collar and retreated to the side hatefully. Zhu Jun looked at Liu Wei with a stunned face, his lips trembled a few times, and he asked, "How does His Highness know about ......?"

"Loyalty!" Liu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Zhu Jun: "It's a pity that I, Liu Bian, won't die for Liu Xie!" I'm going to leave today, and if anyone in the house dares to stop it, there will be no mercy! ”
