Chapter 23: Su Chen and I were evenly matched
"Grandpa, my mother wants me to call you back to dinner."
A five-year-old boy walked out to the field and shouted to the old man sitting there basking in the sun.
"Wait a minute, let me have a conversation with these old guys." The old man was dressed in clothes made of coarse cloth, and the straw sandals he wore on his feet had several holes.
"You all know Xiang Yu, right?" The old man asked the old men around him in the field.
"Of course Xiang Yu knows, what are you talking about, what is the strength to pull out?" A white-bearded old man scratched his head and said.
"Whew! It's called pulling out the mountain and covering the world! The old man looked at him with disdain, and the uneducated things were not like he had also read books.
"That's right, it's the powerful capping stone, or Lao Zhang, you are powerful!" The old men around boasted.
They are all native to the countryside here, and Lao Zhang is well-informed from outside, and they often hear about things outside Lao Zhang.
And Lao Zhang is also seventy or eighty years old, and he knows a lot of things.
"Grandpa, let's go back to dinner." The little boy tugged at Lao Zhang's sleeve and said.
"The dog will let your grandfather go back later, let him talk about it for a while, you eat this first." One of the old men took out a black mass and handed it to the dog.
"Okay, but just for a moment." The dog took the black thing and gnawed it into its mouth.
"Lao Zhang, hurry up and continue, what's wrong with Xiang Yu?" The rest of the people continued to ask.
"What I'm going to talk about this time is not Xiang Yu, but the longevity of the Hou!" Lao Zhang lowered his voice and said.
As Lao Zhang's voice was lowered, the heads of the rest of the people also lowered with Lao Zhang.
"Longevity? Who is this? The rest of the people were a little confused.
Xiang Yu and the others knew that they were the ones who had fought with Gaozu for the world at the beginning, and they had a lot of strength, but they really didn't know about this long-lived marquis.
"Hey! You don't even know that you live a long life! Lao Zhang glanced at them angrily.
"Lao Zhang, we didn't know you could tell us about it!" An old man handed Lao Zhang a bamboo tube, which contained water.
"Changshou Hou, that's a more powerful character than Xiang Yu." Lao Zhang took a sip of water and continued.
"By the way, you know who the prime minister of our Han is, right?" Lao Zhang said.
"Of course I know, stay with Zhang Liang!" Those heroes said in unison.
The reputation of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, can be said to be known to everyone in the Han Dynasty, and he was the founder of the country who once followed Gaozu to fight the world. After that, he served as the prime minister of the two dynasties.
Now they are all over eighty years old, and they are still quite active in the court.
"The long-lived marquis I want to talk about is our prime minister's uncle!" Lao Zhang said meaningfully.
"The prime minister's uncle?"
"That's pretty impressive!" A group of people said in shock.
In their opinion, except for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it is the prime minister who is the most powerful.
But the prime minister actually has an uncle, who is older than the prime minister, isn't that even more powerful than the prime minister?
"Xiang Yu can pull out the mountains and conquer the world, but the longevity is the most powerful one. When Xiang Yu was defeated at the beginning, Xiang Yu was killed by the Longevity Marquis. Lao Zhang took a straw hat and fanned the wind and said.
"Kill Xiang Yu, so powerful?"
"That's amazing!"
"That's amazing."
A group of uneducated old men can only use their own barren language to describe the longevity.
Lao Zhang glanced at these people with disdain, as the only cultured person among them, he really didn't fit in with you.
"Grandpa, it's time to go." The child said after eating the ball.
"Dog, you still have to keep eating!" Another old man handed it over, a black mass.
"Oh, but it's really for a while, otherwise my mother will scold me." The dog reasoned with the old man.
"Okay, just for a moment."
"Lao Zhang, you go on, you're going to leave later."
"Okay, then I'll move on." Lao Zhang put down his straw hat.
"Zhao Gao, you must not know either, right? That was the prime minister of Qin, and there were hundreds of people guarding his house. ”
"And at that time, the Longevity Marquis rushed into the mansion single-handedly, killed all the guards in Zhao Gao's mansion with a few swords, and finally cut off Zhao Gao's head, which is even more powerful than Nie Zheng!"
Lao Zhang finished speaking in one breath.
"How many hundred people were killed by one man? That's amazing. ”
"Who is Nie Zheng?"
Lao Zhang didn't even bother to despise them, it was too difficult to communicate with them, and they didn't know who they were comparing themselves to.
"Ahem! Although Changshou Hou is so powerful, I didn't win or lose when I fought with him at the beginning! Lao Zhang said proudly.
"You and the Longevity Marquis are evenly matched?"
"Just you?"
"What? Don't you believe me? Lao Zhang asked a few people.
"Don't believe it!"
"Impossible!"
"At the beginning, I was the guard of Zhao Gao's mansion, and I fought with the longevity marquis to the end, but unfortunately I didn't tell the winner for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Gao was dead, I wouldn't have had to fight with Chang Shou Hou, and Chang Shou Hou might not be my opponent. Lao Zhang said arrogantly.
"Look at the sword marks on my back, these are the ones left when I fought with the Longevity Marquis." Lao Zhang showed his back and said.
"What Lao Zhang said is true?"
"It's really possible, when Lao Zhang came to our village, he still had blood on his body, maybe he fought with the longevity Hou."
"I just remembered when he came, and he came with a broken sword."
"You know how powerful my old Zhang is, right?" Lao Zhang said proudly.
I was also a person who had a long life.
"But Lao Zhang, you fought with the Marquis of Changsheng, why was a sword cut on your back?" An old man said suspiciously.
When he was young, he also fought with people from the same village, but he was not beaten in the back, and the place where he was beaten must be in the front, and he couldn't run to the back.
"How could so many people care about it at that time, maybe they were accidentally injured by those guards?" Lao Zhang said a little unhappily.
"Let's go home and eat, and stop chatting with you old things." Lao Zhang stood up and said.
"Don't go, Lao Zhang, let's talk about it for a while!"
"No, no, no!"
Lao Zhang ignored the retention of these old men, and took his little grandson and walked home.
"Dog, why did you come back so late, are you greedy again?" A plainly dressed middle-aged woman said to the dog.
"Nope." The dog whispered.
"Before you say no, wipe the black scum off your mouth." The old mother brought a cloth and wiped the corner of her son's mouth.
"Dad, don't come back so late in the future, the food will be cold." A middle-aged man persuaded Lao Zhang.
"I know, I know, I don't." Lao Zhang behaved very obediently.
The middle-aged man sighed, that's what you say every time.
"Excuse me, it's a scholar who is studying here, can you come in and ask for a bowl of water to drink?" A young man in a white robe asked at the door.
"Yes, you can." The man said loudly, with a self-righteous expression.
Lao Zhang looked at the young man who walked in, and the nest head in his hand fell to the ground.
"Longevity ......"
