Lu Yi pointed to the twenty war horses behind him and said, "These are all given to the marshal by Yuan Gong." ”

"Friendship, you come and go, don't you have it?"

The dozens of big men behind Zheng Bao lit up one by one.

Zheng Bao's face was also filled with surprise.

Although he is a bandit commander in the Chaohu area, he also has war horses, but he only has two war horses, and they are not in good condition.

And these twenty war horses are extraordinary at first glance!

Ordinary people can't get this kind of horse at all.

Zheng Bao stepped forward quickly, touched the body of each war horse a few times, and said in amazement: "Good horse!" What a horse! ”

Liu Ye, Lu Su and Lu Yi glanced at each other and nodded.

Lu Yi watched Zheng Baozheng caress the tenth war horse with affection, walked over, and said, "Dashuai, is this friendship enough?" ”

Zheng Bao came back to his senses at this time, looked at Lu Yi, and the corners of his mouth grinned behind his ears and said, "Enough!" Enough! Enough! Totally enough! Yuan Shu, oh, no, Yuan Gong is worthy of being the third prince of the fourth world, and his shot is really generous! ”

Lu Yi said: "Gong Yuan has a greater benefit to give to Dashuai, I don't know if Dashuai wants to hear it?" ”

Zheng Bao stopped stroking the war horse, looked at Lu Yi and said, "What does Yuan Gong want me to do?" ”

Lu Yi said: "It's inconvenient here. ”

Zheng Bao nodded, looked at these war horses with some reluctance, and said to the bandits around him: "Take it back, don't surprise me." Otherwise, I will spare you! ”

Only then did the thieves swarm up, took the reins of the war horse from Lu Da and others, and led them away.

Zheng Bao led the way in front, walking in front with Liu Ye, talking about how hard it was to find him for most of the year, and asked him where he went.

Knowing that Liu Ye was in a ready-to-wear shop in the Zhou family in Shu County, Zheng Bao slapped his thigh.

His people have been searched everywhere.

Even Shu County has been there.

But there is no industry to go to the Zhou family.

Even if it was him, he didn't dare to provoke the Zhou family.

After the second and third dukes of the Zhou family, the protégés and former officials were all over the world, and their reputation in Yangzhou even surpassed that of the Yuan family.

If you offend the Zhou family, you will cause endless trouble.

But he didn't expect that it was this fear that made him busy for most of the year!

The group rushed to Chaohu Lake.

Lu Yi also came here when he was the head of Juchao before, and diverted water from Chaohu Lake to Juchao, opening up five reservoirs.

I didn't expect to come here again, this place has changed a lot.

On the hill south of Chaohu Lake, there are already buildings.

In front of these buildings, there was a large number of people walking around.

Some are digging for stones.

Some are sorting out the grain and grass.

Some are striking iron.

Lu Yi: "."

He even saw a few familiar figures!

They are all young people who used to live in the nest.

These people did not follow him to Wu County, but stayed in the nest because the family had children and the elderly.

Unexpectedly, they actually came here.

Looking at the bandits patrolling around the mountain, Lu Yi secretly sighed.

Nine times out of ten, they were caught.

In these troubled times, the situation of the common people is extremely difficult.

Not only do you have to face war, but you also have to face heavy taxes from various state and county governments, and you have to be on guard against bandits or bandits.

Lu Su obviously also spotted these familiar figures.

His expression was a little sad.

He also saw a young girl.

This girl's name is Zhang Ying, and he often saw it when he was the acting head of the nest for Lu Yi in the nest.

Twelve or thirteen years old, he looks very pure and moving.

He was a little tempted before.

Zhang Ying also has an eyebrow for him.

It's just that when he told his grandmother about it, her grandmother didn't agree.

Although the Lu family moved away from Xiapi Weitai, it is still a family, and his grandmother will never allow Lu Su to marry such a lowly woman.

Therefore, although the two have feelings for each other, they do not go further.

After that, Lu Su followed Lu Yi to move to Wu County, and he personally went to call her, but she didn't leave.

First, it was because she had an old mother at home who was blind, and she didn't want to be a drag on Lu Yi and Lu Su.

Second, she knew that she would be very uncomfortable when she followed her to Wu County, and she could see Lu Su every day, but she couldn't get close.

Lu Su thought of the scene of the final farewell of the two, and his eyes were a little red.

Zhang Ying kept chasing the boat for a long distance.

He tried to get off the boat many times, but his grandmother looked at him deadly.

After all, he didn't have the courage to go down.

But I didn't expect to meet her here again.

Zhang Ying walked over at this time.

Liu Ye saw that Lu Su was looking at the little girl motionless, pulled down his sleeve and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

Lu Su said in a hoarse voice: "This woman is the person I liked when I was the acting head of the nest for Brother Lu in the nest. Grandmother disagreed, and we broke it off. I didn't expect to meet her here. ”

Lu Yi, who was beside him, looked at Lu Su with some sympathy.

The ancients attached great importance to filial piety, so much so that some people, as long as they were filial enough, even if they were not very capable, could be elected as filial piety by the state and county.

He thought of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi in "Peacock Flying Southeast" that he had learned in textbooks when he was studying.

Lu Yi patted Lu Su on the shoulder.

Before Zhang Ying approached everyone, Zheng Bao greeted him.

In full view of everyone, Zheng Bao grabbed Zhang Ying's buttocks, squeezed them hard, and said with a smile: "What are you doing when you run out?" Are the people ready for the feast? Today, the son is here, but he is a distinguished guest, and he can't be lazy! ”

Zhang Ying glanced at Lu Su, her face was a little flustered, but she forcibly endured it, and squeezed out a smile at Zheng Bao and said, "I'm ready, just wait for the handsome guy to go back with the distinguished guests." ”

Zheng Bao laughed proudly and said, "That's good! Wait for tonight, I will spoil you so well that you will cry and shout! ”

There was a lot of laughter all around.

Zhang Ying's face was swollen and red.

Zheng Bao thought that Zhang Ying was shy, and laughed even more unscrupulously.

The group entered one of the most luxurious houses.

It's already full of desks.

On the table there was alcohol, rice, and even chicken and dog meat.

Zheng Bao invited Liu Ye to sit next to him, and invited Lu Yi, Lu Su and others to sit down.

After being full of wine and food, Zheng Baocai dismissed everyone, leaving only himself, Liu Ye, Lu Yi, Lu Su, and a white-faced scholar named Kuai Rui in the hall.

Zheng Bao took a sip of wine, then looked at Lu Yi and said, "Lu Yuanjun, let's say, what is Yuan Gong looking for me." ”

Lu Yi stood up and handed Zheng Bao the letter that Yuan Shu had entrusted Yan Xiang to write to Zheng Bao.

Zheng Bao glanced at it, handed the letter to Kuai Rui, and said to Liu Ye, Lu Yi, and Lu Su: "I know, you go to rest first." I'll give you news tomorrow morning. ”

Liu Ye, Lu Yi and Lu Su stood up and left under the guidance of a maid.

Zheng Bao watched the three of them leave, and then said to Kuai Rui: "Strategist, what do you say?" ”

Kuai Rui put the letter on the desk in front of him, and said with a smile: "The Zhou family has a big business, before, how dare we do it?" Now, Yuan Shu dared to entrust us to do it, and promised to give us all the grain and grass we grabbed, why don't we do it? ”

Zheng Bao frowned and said, "Yuan Shu won't be so kind, right?" Moreover, this is the Zhou family! I'm afraid they'll kill people! ”

Kuai Rui smiled: "How can Yuan Shu kill people and kill people? How many people did his messengers bring? If he sends a large army, we have eyeliner within a radius of fifty miles, what are we afraid of him doing? ”

"The only place where he can kill people is in Shu County."

"Once you are greedy, thinking that Yuan Shu will really appoint you as the Taishou of Lujiang, that is when the handsome will be killed and destroyed!"

"I think his army must be ambushed in Shu County, just waiting for you to enter the urn!"

"However, as long as the handsome man does not enter the urn, after destroying the Zhou family, he will immediately go to Xiangyang with grain and grass."

"When the time comes, what can Yuan Shu be handsome?"

"So much grain and grass, when the time comes, when the handsome goes to Xiangyang, Liu Biao will definitely reuse the handsome."

Zheng Bao pinched his chin and groaned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will tell Yuan Shu this messenger and promise him to eradicate the Zhou family." ”

Kuai Rui said proudly: "Handsome, what's the hurry?" ”

Zheng Bao looked at Kuai Rui suspiciously.

Kuai Rui said proudly: "We can do more!" After the destruction of the Zhou family, the protégés of the Zhou family will definitely investigate and find us. Dashuai, you will go to the envoy of Yuan Shu tomorrow and tell him that after the destruction of the Zhou family, you will go to Shu County to take up your post. And before you take office, you should feast on them and thank them for their help. ”

"And at the banquet, directly hack them to death, and then send Yuan Shu's letter and their corpses to Wujun District."

"Isn't Zhou Yu, the little son of the Zhou family, there?"

"Let him know that it was Yuan Shu who destroyed the Zhou family, and the handsome man would be able to get rid of it."

"Even if someone finds out that you did it, you can say that you were forced by Yuan Shu."

"Yuan Shu is powerful, you have to follow."

"But Dashuai, you think that the Zhou family is the second and third princes, and you feel deeply guilty, so Dashuai, you gave up Yuan Shu and took refuge in Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, who was the enemy of Yuan Shu."

"It's all so natural."

Zheng Bao patted his thigh excitedly and said, "Wonderful! ”
