Chapter 40: The Hidden Forces

"Master Chu is really too modest, and the group of rabbit cubs who coaxed him are a little carried away. The guards under the Duke's Domain would not be mediocre, but it is unlikely that they can surpass the martial arts of the military advisor. Even if the guards with the highest martial arts under the Duke of their own country can also make a draw with the Chu military division, if they win or lose, the Duke of the country will be content. Zhu Yuanzhang said to Chu Liuyan with a smile on his face.

Looking at Wu Guogong's situation, Chu Liuyan already knew that Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to these henchmen and guards behind him, so it seemed that these guards were really a force to be reckoned with.

Chu Liuyan couldn't help but be a little shocked, he didn't expect that there were so many martial arts masters hidden in the mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, and the most shocking people were usually unknown.

Wu Guogong unknowingly established such a secret force, Chu Liuyan suddenly felt that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu in front of him, was really a little incomprehensible.

Could it be that Wu Guogong wanted to take the opportunity to form a force that was only loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, if this was the case, would the group of guards guarding Xu Da in front of him today not be all.

If it weren't for all the strength, then how many people would Wu Guogong have hidden in the depths.

Chu Liuyan really didn't understand how much such hidden power Wu Guogong and Zhu Yuanzhang still had.

But even so, Chu Liuyan knew that these forces were really terrifying.

If these guards are dispatched together, even a large battalion may be defeated.

These guards are all extraordinary, if they adopt the method of fighting in secret, I am afraid that the enemy army will not be able to find them, and the head of the enemy commander will have been easily taken away by these masters.

Thinking about it deeply, Chu Liuyan was even more shocked into a cold sweat.

As far as Chu Liuyan is concerned, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, brought her here so generously, and there is no shying away from thinking that she has shown whether this potentially hidden force has other intentions.

Did Wu Guogong want to tell these things to others through his own mouth?

Wu Guogong is not afraid of some generals in the army.

Over the years, Wu Guogong has led his generals to fight in all directions, and there have been many hard-working generals in the army.

For example, Chang Yuchun, the general of Chang Sheng, as soon as the enemy heard the name of Chang Yuchun's department, he had to retreat, and he was frightened. And Xu Da, who is known as one of the two heroes in the army together with Chang Yuchun, is even more remarkable, and he has a high reputation and faint signs of meritorious service.

Chu Liuyan understands that Xu Da is cautious by nature, but he is afraid of being in a high position, and he has set up all kinds of facilities, all of which are aimed at holding profits and protecting Tai, and being humble and retreating, and would rather "seek Que" than the United States.

And at the moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, still did not let him go after all, not only sent him to Yingtian to do that extraordinary thing, but also plotted against Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, but even if Xu Da made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was still unwilling to let him go.

Zhu Yuanzhang intensified his efforts to take advantage of the wildfire set by the Chuzhou generals who wanted to seek justice for Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, and caused trouble to the east, detained Xu Da, and then put him under house arrest.

With General Xu Da's secrecy and deep vigilance, he still could not escape this catastrophe.

General Xu Da was in prison for his lack of skills.

Fortunately, with the help of himself and a group of soldiers, it happened that he would take advantage of the excellent opportunity for the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang to attack Yingtian, and moved to Wu Guogong with a dangerous resignation and a great responsibility.

With the full cooperation of General Chang Yuchun, he was able to return to heaven in a word, and finally he was lucky enough to get Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, to release Xu Da from a new order, so that he could regain control of the army and lead the old troops to fight against the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han.

Speaking of this matter, it is really a fluke, if there is a slight mistake in the meantime, maybe General Xu Da's head has already been cut off by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and sent to the Liancheng Jue in Chuzhou to pay tribute to the spirit of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, where is there still life.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was able to let Xu Da send troops to resist the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, not for his own safety, although on the surface he kept saying that it was for the people of Yingtiancheng, which is naturally not unreasonable, but if this layer is put aside, logically speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang can listen to the advice of himself and the generals under Xu Da, it is very likely that as long as Xu Da can prevent this catastrophe for him, as a last resort, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang has just reactivated General Xu Da, who was placed under house arrestFrom this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang still values personal blessings and powers.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyan's heart was cold. I felt in my heart that if I helped Wu Guogong, Zhu Yuanzhang would be worth it or not.

However, Chu Liuyan couldn't allow Chu Liuyan to think about it carefully, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Master Chu, General Xu Da is in the house, I'll go in together." ”

Chu Liuyan didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "That's fine, just ask Wu Guogong to bring his subordinates in and visit General Xu Da." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, replied: "In this case, please ask the Chu military division to move in with me." ”

The well-behaved guard saw the opportunity, and immediately passed the crowd, ran to the door of the bamboo house, and diligently helped open the curtain.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave in slightly, bowed down and invited Chu Liuyan to enter first, and after seeing Chu Liuyan enter, he glanced at a group of guards under him, and signaled the guards to pay attention to the Quartet and not let people enter and leave at will.

After the instructions were in place, Zhu Yuanzhang followed behind Chu Liuyan and walked into the house where Xu Da lived.

General Xu Da was under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, for these days, and he really had nothing to do, so he had to entertain himself with poetry and books, but when he was quiet and inactive, he could also be quiet and meditative, which could be regarded as a good travel time.

At this time, Xu Da had already washed his face, a person sitting in the study in the bamboo building to play with the tablet, Zhengxin was a little distracted, heard the curtain hook dingdong, when he raised his eyes, he saw a person open the door curtain, and then a jade man swayed into the house, reflecting the brilliance of the room.

However, it is almost dusk, the lights in the room are like beans, and you can't see the faces of people clearly for a while, but a burst of fragrance comes to your nose, which makes people feel comfortable.

Xu Da was surprised in his heart, this place is in the middle of nowhere, and there are people guarding the house, and no one can visit.

After staying here for several days, no one else visited, only Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, came once, urging himself to come out to help him deal with the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han.

However, Xu Da didn't know what the situation was outside, and he refused to easily accept Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, who had been ordered last time, returned in vain, but since then, no one has come to visit him.

Xu Da didn't know what Wu Guogong really wanted, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

However, there was no news after Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang left, and Xu Da was anxious in his heart, and he was already as stable as the heart of an ancient well, and he couldn't help but ripple the slightest ripple.

I was worried about the life and death of my subordinates, but most of them were worried about Chu Liuyan, who was outside now, I didn't know what to do.

Chu Liuyan said that he would bring his generals to Yingtian's prison, rob the prison to save people, and rescue himself from danger.

This matter is extremely dangerous, Xu Da knows that this time is different, if the generals of Chuzhou provoke a mutiny because of him, he will inevitably become a sinner.

It was Xu Da who advised Chu Liuyan, who risked sneaking into Yingtian Prison, not to act rashly, hoping that she would not only not act like this, but also persuade those generals under his command who were about to move after Chu Liuyan went back not to act rashly and give her life in vain.

But not long after Chu Liuyan left, he was taken here by the subordinates of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and put him under house arrest.

Although it is said that there is no shortage of food and clothing, and the servants and guards are also very attentive and careful, they just can't step out of the door.

Xu Da knew that these guards were all extraordinary, even if they did their best, they could barely fight against one of them, and they still had more losses and fewer wins, and there was not much chance of winning at all.

Xu Da was still extremely surprised at first, how Zhu Yuanzhang sent such a master, and later some guards came to protect him.

Xu Da was even more surprised, but later Xu Da also deduced some situations, something must have happened outside, and he was the key person to solve this matter.

Seeing such a situation, Xu Da knew that there was no hope of escaping, so he gave up this idea.

Outside of here, all he could not forget was Chu Liuyan's matter, and he didn't know if Chu Liuyan had obeyed his instructions and persuaded his generals not to come to Yingtian's prison to rob and save people.

In fact, even if he wants to rob the prison and save people, he can only be empty, he is now under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, although he has no worries about food and clothing, but thinking of Chu Liuyan's rescue outside, Xu Da was worried for a while, but this place was tightly sealed by Wu Guogong, and he had no way to come and go at will, and the news was cut off, and he was really isolated from the situation outside.

The servants who delivered the food seemed to be some mutes, and once they deliberately left a slave to ask, but the person pointed to his mouth, just making a meaningless scream, and since then Xu Da has also died of that thought.

But no matter what, what Xu Da can't let go of in his heart is Chu Liuyan, for Xu Da, the person he cares about the most in the world is Chu Liuyan.

But there was no news at all, which was really disheartening.

The guards outside the door didn't usually chat, but just guarded the door, although Xu Da didn't know how many people were surrounding the house, but it was certain that even a fly would not easily fly into his house.

After a few days of house arrest, Xu Da had lost all contact with the outside world, but to his surprise, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, visited unexpectedly.

However, in the last earnest conversation, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang did not talk about Chu Liuyan, but because he was not rash to ask about Chu Liuyan.

The perfect opportunity to find out about Chu Liuyan's news was missed by himself.

After Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang left, Xu Da also deeply regretted that he couldn't ask Wu Guogong about Chu Liuyan's news, but it was too late.

Xu Da has been sullen in the past few days, but fortunately, there are poems, books and tablets to entertain, and his mind is tied to this, and his mind to look at Chu Liuyan has also faded a little.

But I didn't expect a woman to visit today, this place is so remote, if it weren't for some old tree spirit, or a bewitching fox fairy or something like that.

Although Xu Da is strong-blooded, he can't help but sigh when he thinks of this kind of situation.

Until the woman on the opposite side quickly threw herself into her arms, Xu Da was even more at a loss.

In the past, I had discussed with the generals in the barracks about female ghosts and fox fairies and other sexual encounters, but Xu Dawan never expected that he would encounter such a thing today. It's so bizarre and weird, it's like a dream.

Xu Da seemed to have been immobilized by someone, and he couldn't move.

However, the warm feeling of nephrite jade warm fragrance in his arms awakened the defense of men and women in Xu Da's heart through the skin, and this consciousness was deeply rooted, and Xu Da was immediately shocked.

With a light push, he pushed the woman who had just thrown herself into his arms a few steps away.

The hands and feet were flustered, and he was frightened, but he didn't care about the rest of the things, and hurriedly bowed to the woman who didn't know whether it was a fox or a fairy and said: "Girl, please respect yourself, I wait for people and ghosts to go on different paths, and the underworld is forever separated, but you can't harm me." Besides, General Ben is not a person who likes beauty, so please take care of the girl. ”

Chu Liuyan was thinking about Xu Da in his heart, and when he saw Xu Da, he threw himself into Xu Da's arms, but was gently pushed away by Xu Da.

Chu Liuyan's face turned red, and he secretly regretted in his heart, why would he be so reluctant to do such an extraordinary thing.

When he was remorseful, he suddenly heard Xu Da say such ridiculous words, and he was slightly stunned in his heart, and he already understood that Xu Da must have misunderstood.

Xu Da must have misunderstood himself as a fox fairy or something like that, so he said these words.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyan couldn't help but burst out laughing, raised his head, and said to Xu Da in a manic voice: "Brother Xu, I'm Chu Liuyan, have you forgotten me." ”

Xu Da smelled the woman's voice extremely crisp and familiar, and it seemed to be Chu Liuyan that he had been thinking about day and night, and he was stunned.

Xu Da immediately raised his eyes and looked at it, only to see Chu Liuyan, who was blushing, standing in front of him neatly.

"Smoke girl, how did you get here? These days, I miss you very much in my heart, I didn't expect to be able to quench my thirst today, God is really kind to me. Xu Da pointed to the roof excitedly, and said to Chu Liuyan with surprise and joy.

Chu Liuyan was also extremely happy when he saw Xu Da, and he blinked his eyes at Xu Da and asked, "This place is not Longtan Tiger's Den, can't you come if it is not Liuyan?" ”

"You can come, you can come, you can come anywhere." Xu Daman replied unrelentingly.

"If I can come, why should you be so surprised? Could it be that I don't want to come over? Chu Liuyan pretended to complain and said to Xu Da.

Xu Da hurriedly denied it: "Liuyan girl, you must not say that, these days, I have been looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible, but there is no news here, so Xu Da doesn't know what the situation is on the Liuyan girl's side." ”

Just as Chu Liuyan and Xu Da were talking, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, had already quietly entered, and when he heard Chu Liuyan and Xu Da's words, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

It was Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang who straddled in front of Xu Da, took the tablet on Xu Da's desk leisurely, and then flipped through it, and then pretended to smile easily: "General Xu Da is a Confucian general in the army, and the beautiful scenery in this good night is also not shallow!" ”

"When my subordinates are young, I can't study if I want to. Now to be able to 'steal half a day of leisure' so leisurely, it is all thanks to Wu Guogong. Speaking of which, I really have to be grateful to Wu Guogong. Xu Da also replied with a smile.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red, Xu Da had something to say, his words were sharp, and he naturally heard the sound of the strings in recent years, Xu Da clearly complained that he should not have put him under house arrest.

"Hehe, my country's duke is also a last resort, and he has unspeakable hardships in his heart, but General Xu Da, please rest assured, I am here with the Chu military division today, but I want to invite you out together, let you lead the three armies, and fight with the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han." Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang explained with embarrassment.

Hearing Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Xu Da hurriedly cast his eyes on Chu Liuyan and asked Chu Liuyan if he took it seriously.

When Chu Liuyan saw Xu Da looking at him, his eyes wandered for a while, and he nodded with a pulse, which could be regarded as a reply to witness the words of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo.

Xu Da really didn't expect the situation to develop like this, at first in Yingtian Prison, Chu Liuyan and Bai Chousheng sneaked in, saying that Wu Guogong was forced by the pressure of the generals of Chuzhou to behead himself and show the public, and send it to the generals of Chuzhou to comfort the spirit of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming. Therefore, Chu Liuyan and Bai Chousheng were so anxious to sneak into Yingtian Prison, and deliberately wanted to rob the prison to rescue them from the generals under their command, but they were refused.

Chu Liuyan and Bai Chousheng had just left, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, came over on his heels.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, did admonish himself that for the sake of the safety of Yingtian, he had to sacrifice himself as a last resort.

Although Xu Da knew that Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong arranged this, it was just a way to give up the car to protect the handsome, but he couldn't resist Zhu Yuanzhang's emotion and reason, plus Xu Da was unwilling to respond to the soldiers and horses of the sky and the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou to fight for himself. In the end, he must become a sinner in the heavenly city.

After realizing this, Xu Da agreed to the request of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and was willing to sacrifice his life in exchange for the people of Tiancheng who would not suffer because of the mutiny.

However, Xu Dawan never expected to encounter this kind of thing today, it should be Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Liuyan came here together, and said straight to the point that he wanted to let himself come out.
