In Nuan Pavilion, only three people were entertained by Liu Wuzhou.
A majestic man sat on the ground with his bare arms and exposed bronze chest. He held a mutton leg bone in his hand and gnawed it with a squeaking sound. Needless to say, he was rude, strong and evil.
Of course, most of the people Liu Wuzhou had befriended before were like this.
This big man's name is Huang Ziying, a native of Mayi, and also a famous outlaw in Mayi City. He had been friends with Liu Wuzhou back then. Now that Liu Wuzhou has become a lieutenant of Mayi County, he immediately recruits Huang Ziying, who is basically Liu Wuzhou's deputy commander of the army.
.
This man is now very trusted by Liu Wuzhou, and he is now fighting fiercely with the people sent by Han Jing.
Sitting opposite Huang Ziying was a man in his thirties, wearing loose robes and looking very different from Huang Ziying. From time to time, he would hold a wine cup in his robe sleeves and drink with Liu Wuzhou. He would also eat food until he ordered it, and from time to time he would touch his beard and smile reservedly.
.
This man was also an old friend of Liu Wuzhou. He came from a very good background. He was the concubine of the Zhang family, a wealthy family in Mayi. He used to wander the streets and made many friends because of his generous spending. Liu Wuzhou was one of them.
It can be said that this person is a relatively capable person in Mayi City. He is quite similar to Liu Wuzhou back then. He is not short of money but does not have much ambition. He lives a very comfortable life in Mayi City.
If this was a prosperous age, people like him and Liu Wuzhou would not have much time to stand out, but they would not have to worry about food and clothing. They might even be able to get a small official position, and their whole lives would go by like this.
But when troubled times came, things were no longer peaceful. Liu Wuzhou took the first step and became the captain of Mayi County. The Zhang family naturally attached themselves to him. Because he had enough brains and read books, he took advantage of the situation.
He became Liu Wuzhou's dog-headed military advisor.
If it were in the past, looking at Zhang Silang's appearance, Liu Wuzhou must have felt that although this guy was full of evil, he still looked like a scholar.
But now Liu Wuzhou, who has seen the big world, feels that every move this guy makes is pretentious and pretentious.
On the contrary, it is not as rude and natural as Huang Ziying, and it is more pleasing to the eye.`
Now this Wen Yi Wu is deeply trusted by Liu Wuzhou.
There was another person in the Nuan Pavilion, sitting quite far away from Liu Wuzhou.
He and Zhang Huang are different. They are dressed in ordinary clothes. They look like swordsmen who can be seen everywhere in Mayi City. They are also ordinary-looking. When they met on the street, he was just an ordinary Ma.
Yi swordsman.
Yes, this person has no other characteristics. The biggest characteristic is that he is ordinary. When he doesn't speak, it seems that there is no such person in the Nuan Pavilion.
But when the other three people were talking, they always glanced at him. Their uneasiness and nervousness instantly highlighted this person.
This man's surname is Hu, and no one knows his name. Everyone who knows him calls him Hu.
Since he was invited by Liu Wuzhou to be a guest, he was naturally not as ordinary as he seemed.
There are many rumors about this man. Some people say that he is good with a knife, and some people say that he once worked as a horse bandit on the grassland and killed many people.
Some people say that he is in the business of collecting money and killing people. Some people say that his father and brother are both former subordinates of General Shi Wansui. Some people even say that this man and several horse riders from Mayi City
Deep friendship.
Anyway, there are different opinions, but none of them seems to be tenable.
Otherwise, the background of the people Liu Wuzhou associates with is very complicated. Hu Da and Liu Wuzhou have done some things together. As long as Liu Wuzhou and Hu Da don’t talk about the business, no one else will know, even Zhang and Huang.
clear.
Liu Wuzhou was sitting in the middle. If Li Po saw Liu Wuzhou at this time, he would definitely sigh, this man has changed so fast.
The somewhat sinister white-faced young man back then has disappeared. He went on three expeditions to Liaodong. Although he never fought a real battle with the Goguryeo people, he has always been hiding in Yingyang Mansion.
But in fact, everyone who has been to Liaodong and returned alive will not remain unchanged, not to mention that they have stayed in Dongdu for a long time.`
At this time, Liu Wuzhou already had his own majesty and official position. What his experience brought to him was a change like a rebirth.
His face became rough and weathered, his eyes were firm and sharp, and his body was filled with a convincing atmosphere.
Yes, the little errand boy who ran private affairs for others and made bad ideas behind people's backs can now hold up a large piece of the sky on his own, which is more than enough.
And people's thoughts have become very different, and it is no longer just a small fight.
At this time, I had only a few glasses of wine and a few sips of food.
Zhang Silang could tell that Liu Wuzhou was absent-minded. He didn't even ask the classic line "Why is the lord worried?" He just smiled and had another drink with Liu Wuzhou from a distance, and said: "Is the county captain worried? Here.
Since there are no outsiders, why don’t you tell us and let us listen?”
Liu Wuzhou certainly didn't invite them here late at night just for drinking.
When Zhang Silang asked, Liu Wuzhou nodded secretly. Zhang Silang was still good at talking. It's a pity that he just came from a lower background. Besides, this person is always disliked...
He had no choice but to go around Dongdu and meet many important people, and he began to pay special attention to his background. What he thought about was not that Zhang Silang was of low origin at all, but that the people around him were of too low origin.
, which is not a good match for him as a county lieutenant.
The hero back then was not only a triad leader with a low background, but he was already tainted with the aura of officialdom.
He got something to say here, and immediately sighed in a pretentious manner, "What else can I do? What I am doing as a county lieutenant... is not as happy and comfortable as being a small official in Mayi."
His amorous spirit made Zhang Silang a little jealous, but since the other two were not flatterers, he had to do this job.
He stroked his beard habitually, squinted his eyes slightly, and said with an enigmatic look: "Why did the commander say this? Blind man Liu said it, the commander has six colors, and he will be extremely valuable in the future.
The county lieutenant must not succumb to his own ambition."
Huang Ziying finally finished chewing the mutton bones and wiped his greasy hands on his clothes, "But someone provoked my brother? I just went to beat him to vent his anger on him."
The atmosphere was completely ruined by this guy.
Liu Wuzhou was also amused and said, "You are so generous..."
Then he said seriously: "The Lord has sent people to Yanmen. It is said that some people and horses will be transferred from there to guard the county warehouse. If soldiers and horses are really borrowed from Yanmen, do you think I might as well be a minor official?"
Feel more comfortable?"
Huang Ziying is a rude person, but he is definitely not stupid. He became anxious when he heard it, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier, or I would take people out and intercept them right away?"
Liu Wuzhou picked up the wine glass and drank a few sips. "What if we intercept them and come back? It's so close. It's easy to send people out. How can we intercept them all?"
Zhang Silang stroked his beard and laughed, "I wonder what's bothering the county lieutenant, it turns out it's this..."
Liu Wuzhou gave him a cold look at this time. Zhang Silang's heart trembled, and he immediately did not dare to show off anymore, but he also muttered in his heart, Liu Erlang, you might as well go back to being a small official, and I can have a good drink with you.
, let’s have a chat, now, look at that devilish look on your face, bah, bah, the villain has succeeded.
But what you think in your heart and what you say with your mouth must not be the same.
"In my opinion, the county captain was overly concerned. On that day, hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops marched southward into Yanmen. There were more than 40 cities in Yanmen. After the war, only two remained that had not been conquered by the Turks. Only one month passed.
In less than a year, how can Yanmen have any soldiers? Even if there are soldiers, he will not have food to support him."
Liu Wuzhou smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have never heard of Chen Xiaoyi. This man became the governor of Yanmen. With his ability, it is easy to recruit troops. You said that Yanmen has no food. That's just right. Come to Mayi
Wouldn’t it be nice to share some food and grass back?”
Zhang Silang choked. He probably wanted to say at this moment, you are cheating.
In fact, this is the result of the asymmetry of information. Liu Wuzhou is so smart that he can't help but know so many things. He is not idle in the east, and he knows the hero's genealogy very well.
Bullying a Mayi native like Zhang Silang is just a joke.
However, Zhang Silang's thinking was indeed not slow. He just pondered for a while and then came up with another idea.
I only heard him chuckle twice, "If that's the case, it will be troublesome... But it doesn't matter. Not long after the prefect of Yanmen King left office, Yang Juncheng also took office. Why don't the county officials go talk to Wang Gongcao? Maybe there will be something
What an unexpected surprise.”
This was said without any beginning or end, but Liu Wuzhou's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he nodded repeatedly. Gradually, a joyful expression appeared on his face, and he picked up his wine glass and invited him to drink for the first time tonight.
"Having Shiro beside me to make suggestions, I really feel like I am more powerful than a tiger. Come on, come and give me a toast to Shiro."
Zhang Silang was obviously very proud, but he tried his best to look calm and indifferent. Not only did Liu Wuzhou frown when he saw this, he also felt that the wine he poured into his mouth had no taste at all.
Even Huang Ziying and Hu Da, who had never spoken to each other, did not want to look at Zhang Silang. Well, it was indeed a bit nauseating to see clearly.
Zhang Silang still didn't realize it. After drinking a glass of wine, he asked, "I have always been puzzled about something. I would like to ask the county captain to clear up my confusion."
Liu Wuzhou ate his food. These guys had a mess of names, and he didn't want to care too much about it. However, when the word "little brother" came out of Zhang Silang's mouth, it was far less pleasant than when Huang Ziying and others called him "brother."
At this point, it became clear that Zhang Silang was obviously not popular among the rugged Mayi people. The fact that Zhang Silang was able to hang out together to this day can only be said to be quite capable.
You see, Liu Wuzhou is now a county lieutenant. He doesn't like Zhang Silang, but he still has the patience to keep this man by his side. This is evident.
(Starting from today, there will be two updates, nine in the morning and five in the afternoon. Occasionally, it will explode. The workload of the platinum master is really unbearable for Ah Cao. Please forgive me.)
