"Miss Guo, I think you are mistaken. To see whether a person can achieve great things is not to look at that person's strength, but to look at his character. Chu Liuyan talked eloquently: "You are right, now Marshal Guo is powerful, and Zhu Yuanzhang is only a few dozen people." But Zhu Yuanzhang knows people well, and he will not be jealous of his talents, everyone under him can find their own position and make their own achievements, but what about Marshal Guo? I'm just telling the truth, and if you hear it in your ears and feel harsh, then there's nothing I can do. ”

Guo Ruyi listened to Chu Liuyan's words, and didn't know how to say it for a long time, because what Chu Liuyan said was true. What kind of person her father Guo Zixing is, she is not unclear in her heart.

Chu Liuyan and her were slightly relieved, and then said: "Lan Gongzi is not just doing this for fame and fortune. Miss Guo, think about it, Zhu Chongba is also Marshal Guo's son-in-law, although Miss Ma is not Marshal Guo's biological daughter, but how can you say that Miss Ma has also lived with him for more than ten years, but when it comes to the end, Marshal Guo said that if he wants to kill her husband, he will kill her husband, how can you say that this can not make everyone endanger themselves? Lan Gongzi's talent and ability are not below Zhu Chongba, Marshal Guo is jealous of Zhu Chongba, and he may not be jealous of Lan Gongzi. Although you and Marshal Guo are biological father and daughter, you have not lived with Marshal Guo for so many years. How do you know that Marshal Guo won't fight Lan Gongzi's idea? ”

Chu Liuyan's words set off monstrous waves in Guo Ruyi's heart. What Chu Liuyan said is still very reasonable. Although Guo Hui has only known her father for a long time, she still knows her father's temper. And Lan Yu is indeed a person with great talents, maybe one day, Guo Zixing will really look at Lan Yu unpleasantly, and he will also think of a way to kill him.

Guo Hui's tone was finally relieved, but there was still a little resentment in her eyes, and she said: "Even if that's the case, you shouldn't hide it from me and leave like this." You're just leaving, what do you want me to do in the future? ”

Lan Yu looked at Guo Hui and didn't speak for a long time. Now it is true that he has Guo Hui first, and he really doesn't know what to say. Chu Liuyan said on the side: "Miss Guo, can't you even know about Lan Gongzi's good intentions?" You and Marshal Guo are close relatives of father and daughter, and you have a marriage contract with Lan Gongzi, both sides are your closest people, if Lan Gongzi tells you his plan, he has no intention of letting you be a sandwich between him and Marshal Guo, a dilemma, Lan Gongzi is deeply affectionate, how can he be willing to embarrass you. ”

Chu Liuyan's words were reasonable, which made Guo Hui feel a little guilty when he heard it. She tilted her head and asked Lan Yu, "Is that really the case?" ”

Lan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "What do you say? Do you not even know what kind of person I am? "Lan Yu's promise to marry Guo Hui is mostly just a trend of interests, and there is not much affection at all. And Guo Hui is different from Lan Yu, Lan Yu is the first radiant man she has seen, and she has liked him since the first time she saw Lan Yu.

What Lan Yu is most afraid of now is that Guo Hui wants him to take her away. If that's the case, I'm afraid I don't know how to place her in the future. Unexpectedly, after Guo Hui listened to his words, he raised his sleeves and said, "You can go." Lan Lang, how could I watch you being killed by my father. I originally wanted to go with you, but I don't just want you, I also have my father and mother, and my brother, I can't go with you, and from now on, you have to take good care of yourself. If you have the chance, we will see you again, please remember our marriage contract. ”

After Guo Hui finished speaking, he turned around and left, resolutely leaving, never looking back again. Lan Yu originally didn't have much affection for Guo Hui, but when she decided to leave, for some reason, a kind of pity suddenly arose in her heart, a kind of pity, and many, many other things. He even nodded secretly in his heart, he said: Ruyi, don't worry, I will definitely come back.

At this time, the city gate was opened, and Chu Liuyan, Xu Da, and Lan Yu walked out together. The guards at the city gate did not stop it, which shows that Guo Hui had already told him. Guo Hui came to question Lan Yu, but she had already planned to let Lan Yu go in her heart. This made Lan Yu feel a little more embarrassed.

After Chu Liuyan, Xu Da, and Lan Yu left Bozhou City, they were afraid that Guo Zixing would send pursuers, so they hurried overnight and rushed to Zhongli County. When they arrived in Zhongli County, they found that Zhu Yuanzhang and they did not come back to Zhongli at all, but went directly to Dingyuan.

So, Chu Liuyan and others went all the way to Dingyuan and found Zhu Yuanzhang and others. Zhu Yuanzhang and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Chu Liuyan, Xu Da and Lan Yu. Chu Liuyan told him what happened in Bozhou City, how to persuade Lan Yu, and how Lan Yu rescued them.

Chu Liuyan and Xu Da not only returned safely, but also brought back a general like Lan Yu for Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally overjoyed in his heart. It's just that Chu Liuyan still found that his face was melancholy, as if he was preoccupied. So, Chu Liuyan asked, "Brother Zhu, I see that you are depressed, did something happen?" You might as well talk about it, the so-called one person counts the short, everyone counts the long, and there is always a solution to everything. ”

So, Zhu Chongba said the hidden worries in his heart. It turned out that after taking more than 20 people to Zhongli County, Zhu Chongba found that it was not easy to recruit strong men at all. The strong men in the world, almost all who can defect to the rebel army, have already defected, and only a few people remain, almost all of them are old and weak, women and children. Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to take his subordinates to Dingyuan County, who knew that when he came to Dingyuan, the situation would not be much worse. If you want to recruit strong men, it is not so easy at all.

So much so that until now, Zhu Chongba still only has those few people by his side.

Chu Liuyan, Xu Da, and Lan Yu thought for a long time, and Xu Da suddenly remembered something and said: "There is a force of 3,000 people in Zhangjiabao near Dingyuan, and now it is isolated, I think it is better to think of some way to pull this team of 3,000 people over." The owner of that castle was Sima Changfeng, who was originally from Zhongli County. Speaking of things, I'm afraid it's easier. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "This is very good, Tiande, you will accompany me to Zhangjiabao tomorrow, if we can get this team at that time, our strength will become stronger and stronger." ”

Xu Da shook his head and said, "Chongba, I always feel that Sima Changfeng will not give the team away so easily." In my opinion, we might as well plan again. ”

Chu Liuyan also agreed with Xu Da's opinion, but now Zhu Yuanzhang can't care so much. For a long time, due to the lack of strong men, there were already people in the team complaining. If we can't recruit any more people, I'm afraid that there will be an incident of people fleeing, and it will be too late to find a way to find a way. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on going his own way, and others had no choice. Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang took Xu Da, Lan Yu, and Chang Yuchun to Zhangjiabao. Sima Changfeng, the owner of Zhangjiabao, was originally a gangster in Zhongli County, and he and Zhu Yuanzhang were also old acquaintances, and they also stole chickens and dogs together, because, when they heard that Zhu Chongba was coming, they hurriedly greeted him.

It turned out that Zhangjiabao did have an army of 3,000 people, and Sima Changfeng originally wanted to take them to fight the world, but over time, Sima Changfeng found that he was not the material to fight the world at all, so he was very self-aware and wanted to find a leader for the team again.

Sima Changfeng was very happy when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others, so he specially set up a banquet to entertain them. He began to think that Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were here to defect to him. Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others helped Guo Zixing win four battles in a row, and he also heard about it, but he was a little disapproving, he didn't think that Zhu Yuanzhang had any real talent, and thought that it was just a fluke.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Sima Changfeng said: "Brother Chongba, I heard that you are Guo Zixing's son-in-law and have won many battles in a row, why did you leave Bozhou now and come to me?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he had said this first, so he replied: "That's the case, Brother Sima, I left my father-in-law and wanted to start a new stove by myself." But now that there is a lack of troops in your hands, I heard that you have an army under your command, so I specially came to find you, Brother Sima, hoping to fight the world with you. ”

When Sima Changfeng heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he was very disapproving. He thought to himself: You are just a gangster, and you also want my army to fight the world? It's a dream. Although, he thought so in his heart, he didn't say it. He only said a few vague words, and then he took it as if he was over. And Zhu Chongba, however, thought that he was willing to agree, so he asked, "Brother Sima, when do you say I will accept the team?" ”

Sima Changfeng didn't mention how unhappy he was in his heart, but despite this, he didn't express it clearly. He said, "Three days from now." He thought to himself: If three days later, when Zhu Chongba really came to receive the army, he was looking for an excuse to refuse him. If he doesn't come, it will be a peace of mind. If you refuse it now, I'm afraid it will hurt you.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's make up our minds, and I'll do it first!" Brother Sima, may we be able to achieve great things! After speaking, he drank it all, and Xu Da and Chang Yuchun also drank it all. Sima Changfeng had no choice but to do it.
