At this time, the strong man Dalian found Niu Ba and said: "Captain Niu, it's too cold in this house, can we live here?" ”

Niu Ba continued to sweep the floor, and without raising his head, he asked, "Why can't you?" Besides, I can't live for a few days, the weather in Star City is definitely different from the weather in Wuling, it's really cold, I have some Wuling spicy in my bag, and it will be much warmer if you take it out and eat two. ”

At this time, the great monk took the little novice to Niu Ba and made a joke and said, "Captain Niu." ”

When Niu Ba saw that it was the master of the temple who came, he didn't dare to slack off, put down the broom, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Hello master." ”

The great monk said: "Captain Niu, the weather in Shuntianfu is cold, I will send you a brazier to roast the fire, although the firewood in our temple is not much, but it is still available for ten days and half a month, so we will order it." ”

Niu Ba was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, master." Eat and boil water, we try not to disturb the masters here, oh, by the way, this is ten days' rent, please master must accept it. ”

Niu Ba said and stuffed the bag containing the money into the hand of the great monk.

The great monk looked at the money in his hand, raised his head and said to Niu Ba: "I expect that the donor's business this time will not be completed in ten days." ”

Niu Ba was amused in his heart, and secretly thought, I have already planned and arranged along the way. This matter can be said to be planned and then moved, this monk does not know the strategy in my chest, it is really pedantic. Niu Ba smiled while thinking about it: "Ten days." Ten days will be enough, in my opinion, three days will do, and in three days we will return to our homeland in triumph. ”

The great monk saw that Niu Ba was confident, and said with a smile on his face: "I see, please ask the Bodhisattva to bless the donor with all the best." When he had finished speaking, he took his apprentice and left.

After Niu Ba settled down, he ignored the cold and snow, walked for a long time, walked through the streets and alleys to a house and knocked lightly on the door, and heard a knock in the courtyard and responded: "Coming, coming." ”

The one who came to open the door was Liu Jiang's daughter, Liu Susu. Liu Susu opened the courtyard door and unexpectedly found that Niu Ba, who had been away from Shuntian Mansion for a long time, was standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile on his face, like a ray of warm sun in that winter day shooting into her heart.

Liu Susu smiled happily and shouted, "Starling." Jumped up and threw herself into Niu Ba's arms, Niu Ba opened his arms and hugged her into his arms, and the two of them hugged each other and laughed happily. At this time, the winter night was bone-chilling, the streets and alleys were empty, and the warm hearts of two young people beat together.

Liu Susu suddenly realized her recklessness, so she blushed and stepped back.

Liu Susu saw Niu Ba's shoulders clearly at this time, and the top of his head was covered with snow, so he picked it off with his hands in distress, and said, "Why are you here for such a big snow?" Come in, come in. ”

Niu Ba responded: "Okay." ”

Liu Susu closed the courtyard door, led Niu Ba to the hall, and said, "With such a heavy snow, you don't have an umbrella." ”

After walking a few steps, Liu Susu thought of a matter on his mind, it turned out that Niu Ba was walking barefoot when he was separated, so he looked down at Niu Ba's feet, and when he saw it, he exclaimed: "Oh, your feet and your shoes are all wet." I've got your shoes for you, so go in and change them. ”

Niu Ba said, "What about Mr.? I still have a lot to say to him. As he spoke, he left Liu Susu and walked to Liu Jiang's room.

Niu Ba stood outside Mr. Liu Jiang's door in a regular manner, and shouted: "Sir" After getting it, he opened the curtain and pushed the door and walked in, Liu Susu saw that Niu Ba went to find his father, and smiled slightly knowing that the master and apprentice had something to say, so he turned around and left.

When Niu Ba saw his teacher, he told Liu Jiang in detail how he planned, how to lead the 'Tiger Fighting Group' to Shuntianfu, how to arrange responses from all over the world, and how to cooperate with Luo Xuan's north and south.

Liu Jiang was not in good health at this time, coughed for a while, and then said to Niu Ba: "Ten days and a half months will win, Niu Ba, are you too optimistic." ”

Niu Ba was young and vigorous, and at this time he was full of ambition, so he said to Liu Jiang: "Sir, the disciple thinks that this 'tiger fight' will be successful. ”

At this time, Liu Jiang's eldest son, Liu Susu's eldest brother, Liu Congquan was also serving beside his father.

Liu Jiang looked at his disciple and said, "Okay, you will get the reason for success, you come and tell me." ”

Niu Ba smiled and said: "First, the reason is in me and not in Shangguan Hu, tens of millions of people in Wuling County are of the same heart as me, Shangguan Hu has the great crime of destroying lives, he only has a sword and a noose, and second, the soldiers are in me and not in him." ”

Liu Jiang heard Niu Ba say that there were soldiers in his hands, and he was puzzled: "I don't understand this." ”

Niu Ba explained: "Shangguan Hu's army is only in Wuling, only in Star City, this is a small army. My army is under heaven, from all walks of life, and the people of the people are longing, and the army is also great. We came to Shuntianfu today to set up camp, there are people from all walks of life in Shuntianfu to come to support, this is the hearts of the people, the hearts of the people in the world are in me and not in him Shangguanhu, I plan to organize a civilian solidarity association every day to send out a number of articles I wrote for my members to copy and then send them to the famous place, and then send flying pigeons to pass the book in the world. Sir, do you say that he has more soldiers in Shangguan Hu or more soldiers in me? ”

Liu Jiang nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "This is reasonable, you can continue to say it." ”

Niu Ba said excitedly, so he stood up and said: "The third momentum is in me, not in him, Shangguan Hu is now embattled, and it seems that he has run out of ammunition, and I, the head of the Niu Regiment, lead the trust of tens of millions of Wuling people, and fight to the death with Shangguan Hu with perseverance, plus more than 40 generals of the 'Tiger Fighting Regiment', all of them represent a territory. We are rooted in Shuntian, running and calling, contacting all parties, everyone is as popular as Changhong, each of them is broken, so powerful, so imposing, why not win? ”

Liu Jiang said with a smile: "Eighth child, I haven't seen you for half a year, your momentum has really increased a lot." ”

After Niu Ba finished speaking, he sat down with a smile, and said, "Anyway, I have already decided not to return to Wuling if I can't fight the tiger." ”

Liu Jiang smiled and said: "Also, as long as he Shangguan Hu is in charge of our Wuling County, you can't go back even if you want to." ”

Liu Congquan said: "Eighth brother, just live in Shuntian Mansion, don't go back to Star City yet." ”

Niu Ba refused: "No, the people of Wuling are already looking forward to it, waiting for us to return to our hometown victoriously." ”

Liu Jiang pulled the blanket draped on his body, changed his posture, and continued: "Wei Jing and Wang Yanzhang so-called you Xianghe Sanyou are my favorite disciples, the two of them went to Fengqi Prefecture while you stayed in Dongtu to fight against the evil government, my Liu Jiang's body is not as good as day by day, my only hope is that you good young people can walk on the road of light, serve the world and serve the people, and all hope is pinned on you." ”
