In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, only the southern barbarians appeared, and Zhou Yuanfu had never heard of these barbarian soldiers from Ba County.
"Yes, this Banzhen barbarian is also called the Zhi people. When King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou, the Zhi people helped King Wu of Zhou to make great contributions. Later, when Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, conquered the world, the Zhi people still charged forward. It can be said that if there were no Zhi people,
Fighting to the death, whether the world's surname is Xiang or Liu, huh, it's hard to say."
When Zhang Lu saw that Zhou Yuanfu was interested in barbarian soldiers, he naturally boasted about it.
"After Emperor Gaozu conquered the world, he did not let down these people. Among them, the seven surnames that contributed the most, commonly known as the Seven Bayi surnames, were exempted from rent and taxes. Other than the seven surnames, the people only paid a small amount.
Taxation. This Pu Hu is the leader of the seven surnames of Bayi, and Du Yi is the leader of the rest of the barbarians. Because of the difference in status, the barbarians are gradually divided into two levels..."
"You just said that some people don't pay taxes and some pay very low taxes?" Zhou Yuanfu asked.
"yes."
"Then why does this barbarian keep rebelling?"
Lu Quan sneered, "What's not understandable about this? When the court needs them, they have to charge into battle. When the court doesn't need them, they will treat them like pigs and dogs. How have the Han people ever treated us equally?"
When Zhou Yuanfu heard what Lu Quan said, he finally understood the meaning, "Is Mrs. Lu also a liar?"
"My mother was once a liar..."
"I used to be a Jieren? Do you also look down on Jieren? Don't forget, you also have half a Jieren's blood in your blood!"
Before Zhang Lu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Quan.
"My child made a mistake, please punish me!"
Seeing that Lu Quan was angry, Zhang Lu was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down.
"I think it's because you look down on people in your heart, so that's why you're speaking from your heart!" Lu Fang said with a cold expression.
"Mother forgive me, mother forgive me. The child knows that he was wrong and will never dare to do it again."
"Mrs. Lu, are you too sensitive?"
"I am educating my own children, and I ask General Zhou not to interrupt." Lu Quan was still angry.
Zhou Yuanfu was choked for a moment. Lu Quan was always cold and cold along the way. He would only greet him with a smile when he asked for advice.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanfu had an idea and said: "Of course I can't take care of your housework, but my second condition..."
Lu Quan and Zhang Lu stopped arguing after hearing Zhou Yuanfu's second condition. Zhang Lu even looked at Zhou Yuanfu gratefully.
"My second condition is about Mrs. Lu."
Zhou Yuanfu said and looked at Madam Lu with a smile.
In Madam Lu's eyes, Zhou Yuanfu's eyes were squinting at this moment, and there was a sense of sadness in her heart. These stinky men would never stop, and they would not give up until they got what they wanted!
Zhou Yuanfu didn't know Lu Quan's thoughts, and he was naturally attracted by Lu Quan's beauty, but he never thought of using it as a condition of exchange.
"Mrs. Lu, you have learned so much from me. If I help Gongqi regain..."
"Gongqi, please go out first."
Lu Quan said to Zhang Lu without waiting for Zhou Yuanfu to finish.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to make some hangover soup."
Zhang Lu said and retreated.
Lu Quan's face was red, but his heart was full of despair. Sometimes he really wanted to destroy his beautiful face, which would save a lot of things.
"I know General Zhou's heart. Since General Zhou does not dislike me, I am willing to obey him."
Lu Quan's voice became softer as he spoke, and suddenly he raised his voice again and said, "But General Zhou, please save me some face. If I remarry, then Gongqi will not be able to gain a foothold in the sect."
Zhou Yuanfu over there was stunned for a long time. After a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mrs. Lu, I think you misunderstood. What I mean is that since you have studied with me for so long, you have to become my teacher, so that you can learn from me in the future.
I'm polite when I say something... Hey, why did you leave?"
Lu Quan was ashamed and angry. Now he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. He glared at Zhou Yuanfu fiercely, turned around and went out.
Zhang Lu walked in ignorantly and said, "General Zhou, please use it. This is the sobering soup I had someone make specially for you."
"Why is mother out? I see an angry look on her face. Is General Zhou's second condition too unkind?"
Zhou Yuanfu couldn't help laughing when he thought of what Lu Quan had just said. He felt that Lu Quan was usually cold and cold, so he wanted to accept her as his apprentice to make her behave better in the future. In the end, Lu Quan was more direct, which was really surprising.
"The second condition is to accept you as a disciple. I guess your mother was not happy, so she left angrily. In this case, let's drop this matter. Tell me what Zhang Xiu is capable of?"
Zhang Lu woke up from a dream and was filled with joy. Zhou Yuanfu was finally willing to help him.
"His abilities are really great. He can spread the beans to make soldiers, and he can use spells to kill people..."
"Stop, stop, sowing the beans leads to soldiers, and you have seen it with your own eyes, and the spells kill people?"
Zhou Yuanfu didn't believe that there really was such a wonderful method in this world. If it were true, the world would have been dominated by Taoists.
Zhang Lu nodded solemnly, "I have indeed seen it with my own eyes!"
"At that time, he took out a handful of beans and scattered them out of thin air, and suddenly countless soldiers appeared. Then he waved his hand again, and the soldiers disappeared. It was really magical."
"As for this talisman killing people, it's even more bizarre. People who were loyal to my father at that time objected to him being the leader, so he took out a talisman and said that he could summon thunder from the sky through the talisman. Then he waved to a sacrificial wine man. Really
A bolt of thunder shot out of his hand and opened a bloody hole in the man's body, and he died immediately."
Zhang Lu made gestures while talking, and wiped his sweat as he spoke.
"Then he said that this man died as a result of divine punishment. Later, I carefully examined this man's body and found that there was only a blood hole on his body and no other abnormality. Over the years, because of fear of his magical powers, I taught him
Most of the brothers dare to get angry but dare not speak out."
Zhang Lu still feels frightened when he thinks of these things.
"Fortunately, there is General Zhou now. I heard that your magical powers are very powerful. I must not show mercy when the time comes. If we wait until he takes action, we will die without a burial place!"
Zhou Yuanfu was very confused when he heard this. Is there really such a skill in the world? Is it a palm thunder? If so, why haven't I seen Zhang Jiao perform it? Is the Tao of Taiping really not as good as the Five Pecks of Rice Sect? Is it true that the Celestial Master has magical powers?
Thinking of this, a slight look of fear appeared on his face.
"There is no need to worry, General Zhou. I heard that your magical power can knock people down in one fell swoop. As long as you don't let him take action, then he has nothing to fear."
Zhang Lu saw the change in Zhou Yuanfu's expression, so he spoke to comfort him.
Zhou Yuanfu silently grasped the staff and felt courageous. He had to stun Zhang Xiu when he was not prepared. Then he searched for any martial arts secrets on him. If he could learn this palm thunder, he could walk sideways in the future.
Already.
"Well, there's nothing Zhang Xiu can do to me, but we really need to plan carefully."
"General Zhou, I have already thought about this. I will go see the old thief tomorrow. Then you can pretend to be my follower, and then we can take advantage of him when he is not prepared..."
…
The second day
A group of people rushed to Zhang Xiu's house.
"Won't Mrs. Lu come with you?" Zhou Yuanfu asked.
"She said she was feeling ill. She probably drank too much with General Zhou last night. Today she relies on General Zhou."
Zhang Lu cupped his hands and said.
When everyone heard this, they secretly wondered whether Mrs. Lu was Zhang Lu's sister. No wonder the eldest brother dared to form an alliance with Zhang Lu so confidently.
"What's too much?"
Cui Niubi suddenly said something as if he had not woken up.
Zhou Yuanfu was afraid that he was talking nonsense, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Everyone will act according to the situation when we get there, especially Brother Cui, please keep your mouth shut. Everyone must pay attention this time. If there is a mistake, we will be in doom!"
Everyone was shocked after hearing this. Cui Niupi also knew that this matter was no joke. After all, he was operating in the enemy's lair. If the consequences of failure were serious, he would not smile playfully.
When I arrived at Zhang Xiu's mansion, I saw that it was indeed heavily guarded, with a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.
Zhang Lu whispered to Zhou Yuanfu: "The guards were never so tight in the past. Why are there so many more guards today?"
