"This is a title! Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he has never recruited a title directly. General Liu is willing to give up like this?" Eunuch Li looked at Liu Heng in disbelief.

Liu Heng picked up the teapot and took a sip of the boiled water inside, and said lightly: "The title is just a false reputation to me. Your emperor is willing to enthrone a title for me because I am strong enough, not because I beg your emperor. If I really care about something like the title, and the current scale of the tiger flag with the current scale, even if I proclaim myself as king, I believe no one will think there is anything wrong."

"You are a fake king, and the Ming Dynasty is the orthodox world." Eunuch Li retorted.

Liu Heng shook his head and chuckled, "It seems that Eunuch Li doesn't understand what I mean. Let's say that, do you think I care about these things?"

"Don't you care about the title?" Eunuch Li couldn't figure it out anyway. Even he, a thief in the palace, cared about the title, which even he was a very concerned about, was a thief like Liu Heng.

As for the statement that Liu Heng called himself a king, in his eyes, he could not compare with the title of the Ming Dynasty. A few years ago, there was a rebel who proclaimed himself to be Emperor Zhongxing Fu. This kind of thief who was self-proclaimed as the throne could not match the title of a Ming Dynasty.

Liu Heng leaned back slightly and said, "Eunuch Li went back and told Zhu Youxiao that if you want to recruit a house, don't be reluctant to give up anything. No one can see the stingy one."

"Bold." Eunuch Li stood up suddenly with a sharp voice and glared, "The emperor's name is something you can say bluntly."

After saying that, when he saw Liu Heng's eyes that looked like a smile, his heart felt faint.

Then I remembered that the place where I left was not the capital or the imperial city, but the General Town Office of Datong Town, which was occupied by bandits.

With just one word from the other party, he can't get out of here.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "General Liu, don't misunderstand. Our family can't listen to anyone slandering the emperor, so he was a little excited, not targeting General Liu."

"Eunuch Li is really loyal to the emperor, so let's go back to the capital." Liu Heng said, "Come here, please send Eunuch Li back."

Two guards walked in outside the door.

If the recruitment failed, Eunuch Li was naturally unwilling to leave like this. He hurriedly said, "General Liu, recruitment is the road of heaven. As long as you accept the recruitment, you will never have to bear the reputation of a thief again. Moreover, the emperor and the cabinet value you very much, otherwise you would not have given the three prefectures of Xuanda and Taiyuan to you for management."

"Please, Eunuch Li!" Zhao Wu said politely, but his tone was unquestionable.

Before leaving, Eunuch Li said again: "General Liu, think about it again. Our family will stay in the city and wait for news for you in the next few days."

"No need, Eunuch Li should go back to Beijing!" Liu Heng said to Zhao Wu, "Arranging someone to leave Datong City from Eunuch Li and send orders along the way, don't make things difficult for you."

"Yes." Zhao Wu agreed.

Eunuch Li saw that Liu Heng was determined to refuse the court's revenge, so he had no choice but to follow the tiger flag and leave the general town office.

The carriage he was riding in was waiting outside the gate of the General Town Bureau.

When he got on the carriage, he saw that the two people with the tiger-shaped flags that came out with him did not leave, but each rode a horse, obviously trying to watch him leave Datong City.

"Let's go, get out of the city." Eunuch Li shouted to the driver who was driving the car, put down the curtain on the side of the carriage, and sat back on the carriage.

The carriage drove slowly, and the two people with the tiger flag followed behind the carriage.

The carriage kept driving out of the city gate, but the two men did not continue to follow.

After walking a long way out of the city, Eunuch Li, who was sitting in the carriage, said to the entourage outside the car: "Are people still following?"

"I'm not following us after leaving the city." The follower replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Eunuch Li was worried and poked his head out of the window and looked at the back of the carriage.

I realized that I didn't follow me, so I felt relieved.

"Have you contacted the people you secretly?" Eunuch Li asked the entourage outside the carriage.

The follower said, "I've been in touch."

"That's good." Eunuch Li's forehead was light and his expression relaxed a lot, "Let's go!"

The carriage continued to move forward.

After the tiger flag occupied Datong, many main roads were relaxed and expanded based on the original official roads. The carriages walked very smoothly on it, and there was no bumpy like dirt roads.

"Father-in-law, it's getting dark. Do you think you're going to find a place to spend the night first?" the entourage asked outside the carriage.

There was a large area of ​​red fire clouds in the sky to the west. Although it was still bright, everyone on the way knew that this was the last afterglow of the day.

Eunuch Li glanced at the sky.

It was not convenient to rush on the road when it was dark, and the animals pulling carts also needed to rest. He said: "Let me find a village nearby to rest, don't enter the village, stay outside the village overnight."

The dog days have just passed and the weather has not completely cooled down. Even if you spend the night in the wild, people will not be frozen.

There is a village not far from the roadside, and the carriage stopped at the entrance of the village and did not enter the village.

Instead, he followed Eunuch Li's entourage and brought people into the village and bought some food from the villagers to satisfy his hunger.

Two bonfires were created not far from the entrance of the village.

Eunuch Li sat alone in front of a bonfire, and the entourage sat around another bonfire to cook the fire.

In the past two years, under the rule of the tiger flag, the people lived much better than those in other parts of the Ming Dynasty. Many families in the village raised chickens, ducks and other poultry, which not only laid eggs and meat for their own homes, but also sold them to the tiger flag for money.

Eunuch Li's entourage bought a few chickens and ducks in the village, cleaned them up and roasted them over fire.

This roasted chicken and duck meat is sprinkled with only a layer of salt, and the taste is not very good, and it is far from what they ate in other prefectures of the Ming Dynasty.

More importantly, in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, local officials rushed to invite Eunuch Li to a banquet, and their entourages could also get some good things to eat.

But in the place under the tiger flag, you have to spend your own money on everything you eat. Even if you take some chickens, ducks and other meat in the village, you have to give it money. Otherwise, those fierce peasants and soldiers will not be able to leave the village.

"Father-in-law, let's have some chicken legs first!" The follower brought over with a charred chicken leg outside on a plate.

Eunuch Li took the plate and shaved the scorched black and gray with chopsticks on it with disgust.

"My father-in-law, please have a meal tonight. Next time, I will find you an inn to spend the night." The follower comforted.

Seeing that the black chicken on the plate was really unpleasant, Eunuch Li handed it to the follower and said, "You eat it and bring some snacks for our family."

"You'll get it here." The entourage took the plate and turned toward the carriage.
