Chapter 39: Please Xu Da again
Chu Liuyan's words were an extremely decent step for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang is very grateful to Chu Liuyan for being so magnanimous in his heart, if today's events are known by other people in the army, they will inevitably make a fuss, even Zhu Yuanzhang has no way to cover up the past. In the future, the soldiers in the army said behind his back that for Zhu Yuanzhang, it was an extremely terrible thing.
In such a different place, he also said that he had nothing else to wish, and today's matter was revealed, hoping that he would not mention this matter again in the future, not only to save enough face for himself, but also to show a kind of goodwill to himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that Chu Liuyan could endure this matter, and naturally considered it for the sake of his reputation as a woman, but in addition, Chu Liuyan did not want to be ruined and ridiculed by the world.
Thinking of these in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally became more and more grateful to Chu Liuyan.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang bowed to Chu Liuyan, and said earnestly: "Thank you Chu Junshi for being able to forgive your country's Meng Lang's behavior today, if you can fill the city with wind and rain, your country will not be able to gain a foothold in front of the world in the future." ”
Chu Liuyan didn't have any words in response, just hung his head slightly, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't see Chu Liuyan's expression clearly.
After Zhu Yuanzhang stood still for a while, Chu Liuyan no longer had any words. She just stood there stunned, refusing to say a word.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Chu Liuyan must have been a little overwhelmed by his actions, and secretly scolded himself with remorse: "What happened today, why did you actually make such a frivolous move to Chu Liuyan, it is really too low in cultivation, not to mention that you have not seen through these world conditions, feelings of sorrow, love and hatred, and they are already so hot in your heart." Although he is already a noble Wu Guogong now, he is no longer able to break these things. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly blamed himself in his heart for a while, and only then did he subdue his fluctuating mind.
"Wu Guogong, I don't know where General Xu Da is?" Chu Liuyan suddenly asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at Chu Liuyan in front of him, only to feel that Chu Liuyan's face was still left with two patches of blush that had not yet faded, one crimson, which was really shy and lovely.
Zhu Yuanzhang's mind rippled again, but this time he immediately came back to his senses, forced himself to hold his mind, and didn't dare to look at Chu Liuyan, then turned his face, pointed to a place in the bamboo forest in the distance, and said to Chu Liuyan: "It's not far, just ahead, and you can get to the house where General Xu Da lives soon." ”
When Chu Liuyan heard this, he naturally looked in the direction pointed out by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't see anything, only a vast green bamboo.
"Wu Guogong, is General Xu Da really in front, why don't you see anything?" Chu Liuyan didn't see the house Zhu Yuanzhang said, so he couldn't help but ask Zhu Yuanzhang again in surprise.
"Master Chu, haven't you seen it, it's not far ahead. However, it may be blocked by bamboo leaves, and the bamboo here is too dense, so I have to wait a few steps forward to see it more realistically. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded at Chu Liuyan, and then led the way in front of him.
Chu Liuyan tiptoed and glanced at it from afar, but still saw nothing, and when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked away, he hurried over.
Chu Liuyan hurried a few steps slowly, and then went to the depths of the bamboo forest with Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and Chu Liuyan saw the wind blowing up the bamboo leaves in the entire bamboo forest, Chu Liuyan stared at the discovery that Zhu Yuanzhang had originally pointed out, and finally saw a bamboo building in the gap between the dense bamboo leaves.
"Wu Guogong, could it be that the bamboo building in front of you is the place where General Xu Da lives. Hehe, he is really an elegant person, living here alone, but he is also at ease. Chu Liuyan caught up with Zhu Yuanzhang and spoke. There was a bit of ridicule in her words.
"Chu Junshi also saw the bamboo building, that's right, General Xu Da lives here, there is someone to bring him food every day, I came to see him once a few days ago, General Xu Da reads some poetry and books all day long, and the days are leisurely, much stronger than me, Wu Guogong, who has nothing to do." Zhu Yuanzhang said to Chu Liuyan jokingly.
Chu Liuyan suddenly said: "I think if General Xu Da can go out, he will definitely not stay here." I've always understood his thoughts. ”
Then he pointed to the bamboo forest and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "It's extremely quiet here, but I can't even see a single figure, let alone a figure, I haven't heard any bird calls after walking for so long, and I don't want to live in this ghost place." Chu Liuyan said to Zhu Yuanzhang with some mockery.
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly apologized and said to Chu Liuyan: "Okay, okay, my lord can't say that you, a sharp-tongued Chu military division, my lord surrendered, it's okay now." However, when he saw General Xu Da later, the Chu military division must not tell General Xu Da about the matter. ”
Chu Liuyan's face turned red suddenly, but he deliberately pretended not to understand and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "What is what Wu Guogong said, why Chu Liuyan can't understand it at all, and ask Wu Guogong to explain to his subordinates that he wants to be smoked and not to mention anything to General Xu Da." ”
As soon as he heard Chu Liuyan's attitude, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was immediately stunned, and stayed for a moment, as if he had realized something from the sly smile on Chu Liuyan's face, he opened his mouth and said to Chu Liuyan: "Master Chu, don't embarrass me so much, you know what I know, not to mention that you also said that you should not mention this matter in front of others, then Master Chu will also abide by this agreement, if General Xu Da really knows about it, he doesn't know what to do." ”
Chu Liuyan heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was full of forgiveness, and knew that there was no need to tease Zhu Yuanzhang anymore, so he said with a straight face: "Wu Guogong, but please rest assured, since his subordinates have such a promise to Wu Guogong, they will definitely not easily mention Wu Guogong's frivolous behavior in front of others, after all, Wu Guogong's reputation is still extremely precious." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely happy when he saw Chu Liuyan's promise to come to his own conditions, after all, for Zhu Yuanzhang, these things are still extremely important, if people know that the dignified Wu Guogong actually made such a despicable move against Chu Liuyan's military division, then the image that Zhu Yuanzhang has worked hard to create over the years is bound to be ruined.
After getting Chu Liuyan's promise, Zhu Yuanzhang threw off his big stride and took Chu Liuyan to the front of the bamboo building with a big stride.
The guards who were defending around had already caught a glimpse of Wu Guogong and Chu Liuyan coming together, and they were extremely surprised.
These guards didn't know that they had always warned themselves not to tell outsiders the secrets of this place, especially Wu Guogong, who was the commander of Chu Liuyan and the generals under Xu Da, would personally appear here with Chu Liuyan's military division, and Zhu Yuanzhang's henchmen and guards were puzzled.
However, since Wu Guogong had already arrived, these guards had to come out to salute, and naturally they were also very respectful to Chu Liuyan's military division standing behind Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Subordinates, see Wu Guogong." A group of guards walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and said.
"Get up." Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand slightly to the guards kneeling on the ground, and then said lightly.
"Yes, my subordinates obey." A group of guards stood up from the ground, and then said in unison to Chu Liuyan beside Zhu Yuanzhang: "The subordinates have seen the Chu military division. ”
As the guards spoke, they knelt down to salute.
Chu Liuyan smiled slightly, took a step forward, and said to the guards: "No need to be polite, you and others are all confidants of Wu Guogong, but you are so polite to me." You don't have to kneel down to me when you wait. ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he hurriedly shouted angrily: "Although these guards are all my confidants, they are humble and orderly, this can't be sloppy." If this is all messed up, then I, how can I manage my subordinates after the day (for the sake of harmony), Chu Junshi might as well accept their courtesy. ”
Listening to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, Chu Liuyan thought for a while and felt that it was not unreasonable, so he replied to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Since Wu Guogong has a life, Liuyan does not dare to disobey." Then Liuyan listened to Wu Guogong's words and accepted their salute. ”
Hearing that Chu Liuyan followed his advice, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and shouted at the guards in front of him: "Do you want to salute the Chu military division soon, and when do you want to wait." ”
Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's order made all the guards lie down and respectfully gave Chu Liuyan a big salute.
Chu Liuyan looked at the few guards kneeling in front of him, and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, please get up." ”
The guards did not get the order of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and they refused to get up.
When Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, saw this situation, he turned his angry face, put on a smiling face and said to Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi, the rules cannot be broken at will, if these minions don't open their eyes in the future and neglect Chu Junshi, please ask Chu Junshi and me to support him, and the country's public will be severely punished." ”
Chu Liuyan was a little curious, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, was so behaving towards the henchmen and guards around him, as if he just regarded these people as loyal lackeys raised by himself. It's really a bit appalling, but Chu Liuyan thought of another big demon king Chen Youliang, who killed people without blinking, and suddenly felt that although Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely strict, but until now, he has not seen Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang do something that hurts the heavens and reason, and people and gods are angry.
And Chen Youliang is very different, he should not be cruel and murderous, and he also takes pleasure in it, which is simply mad and inhumane. However, the most considerate person is Xu Da.
No matter how you look at it, Zhu Yuanzhang is still more generous and tolerant.
Wanting to be here, Chu Liuyan's body suddenly trembled, and he was extremely surprised in his heart. I was surprised why I would compare Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, with the murderous Chen Youliang and General Xu Da.
Could it be that these people all have some advantages and strengths that attract them, so they have some good feelings for these three people.
Thinking of this, Chu Liuyan suddenly felt that the roots of his ears were hot, and he hurriedly suppressed these ridiculous thoughts that appeared in his heart.
"Master Chu, that's why you're like this." Zhu Yuanzhang saw Chu Liuyan's abnormality, and hurriedly inquired about Chu Liuyan with concern.
"It's nothing, it may be that the forest is a little cold, so I just feel that my body is chilling for a while, it's not a big deal, Wu Guogong doesn't have to worry." Chu Liuyan hurriedly said to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang in disguise.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to do, but when he heard Chu Liuyan say this, he also felt that it made sense, so he didn't doubt him.
"Since it is cold outside the house, Yin (for the sake of harmony), then please Jun Shi Chu don't have to delay in the house, and quickly enter the house with me." Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang still looked at Chu Liuyan with a concerned face and asked for advice.
"It's okay, there's nothing to see outside the house, it's really not good to stay for a long time, it's almost dark now, it's better to go and see Xu Da in the house earlier." Chu Liuyan replied to Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also said: "Okay, okay, just do it, just do it." ”
Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and said to the guards who were kneeling on the ground: "Go and open the door of the house, my lord and the Chu army division are going to go in to visit General Xu Da, go quickly, don't be sluggish." When the national public sees General Xu Da, things will naturally be clear. ”
Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's golden mouth, the guards naturally did not dare to disobey, not to mention that Fang had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, his knees were a little stiff, and he was getting better to move.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, a guard stood up and said: "Since Wu Guogong has an order, his subordinates dare not disobey." The subordinates immediately opened General Xu Da's house for Wu Guogong and let Wu Guogong and Chu Junshi enter. ”
After speaking, the guard got up from the ground, ran to the bamboo building more than ten feet away, and quickly began to open the big lock on the door.
The other guards also took advantage of this opportunity to stand up one after another, and after a short time, only a squeak was heard, and the door of the bamboo building was opened.
Chu Liuyan and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at each other, and then strode into the shooting star's Wangzhu Building. A group of guards followed the two of them like moons.
When he got closer, the guards who had just gone to unlock the lock also turned around and said to Chu Liuyan and Zhu Yuanzhang: "Qi Wu Guogong, my subordinates have already opened the door of the house according to the instructions, I don't know if Wu Guogong has other orders." If not, the subordinates will retreat first. ”
Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at the guard, signaling this person to retreat.
This person really saw the opportunity, and he already understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions from Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, so he quickly retreated to the side of the road, and respectfully let Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Liuyan, the Duke of Wu Guo.
Chu Liuyan looked back and knew that these guards could actually get a glimpse of Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning from a gesture of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, and they must be well-trained. Otherwise, there would certainly not be such a tacit understanding as it is today.
Thinking back to the guards who listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's order, they saluted themselves so neatly, after saluting, Zhu Yuanzhang did not order, none of these guards actually got up without authorization, it is enough to speculate how much effort Zhu Yuanzhang put into it when training this group of personal dead soldiers.
Looking at the dozens of people in front of him, Chu Liuyan vaguely felt that Wu Guogong was really unpredictable, when Ping Su and Zhu Yuanzhang were together, they didn't see how many guards around him were to protect him. But now, I found that Zhu Yuanzhang was surrounded by such capable people to protect him. It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the ruffian and hooligan Zhu Chongba he knew at the beginning. His strategy and scheming are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and they cannot be guessed.
Chu Liuyan raised his eyes and looked at the guards carefully for a while, and found that there were almost no guards he was familiar with, and all of them had unfamiliar faces.
Looking at the pace of these sturdy guards, it is obvious that they are practicing their families, and some of them are estimated to be far superior to themselves in martial arts, and the rest of them are not mediocre, and their skills will definitely not be able to go down to themselves.
Chu Liuyan thought about it slightly, and was surprised to find that there were so many masters around Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.
What's even more incredible is that these martial arts masters don't know when and where they were recruited by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is really surprising that this terrible force can be hidden so deeply in the mansion of Wu Guogong.
Chu Liuyan thought about it and turned his face to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo.
might as well Zhu Yuanzhang was also turning his face to look at her, and the eyes of the two of them were facing each other for a moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Chu Liuyan must have seen some signs, and he did not shy away from it, but asked Chu Liuyan with a big grin: "The Chu military master has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is naturally quite accomplished in martial arts. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said as he pointed to a group of guards who were closely following the two of them.
Chu Liuyan smiled slightly, and replied to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu: "Although I have not been able to fight with the guards under Wu Guogong, but based on Chu Liuyan's inference, the kung fu of these guards is not weak, and if they can form an army, it will be enough to reach the attack of thousands of men and horses." I am afraid that the good hands in the meantime have far surpassed the skills of their subordinates, even if they are ordinary guards, it is not too much to compare martial arts and smoke. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and the guards who followed behind heard Chu Liuyan's praise and felt very useful.
During this period, several people even squeezed each other's eyebrows, and their faces were colorful.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked back, so he scolded, and the guards hurriedly bowed their heads.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned back proudly.
