Cui Niupi was actually a little entangled. After all, he had a good relationship with Gan Ning, so he naturally hoped that Zhou Yuanfu would marry Gan Mei. However, he arranged his eldest brother's marriage, so Cui Niupi felt that he should be responsible. Moreover,
Gan Mei always took the initiative to come to Zhou Yuanfu, which made Cui Niupi complain. In comparison, Miss Du was more like a lady.
Zhou Yuanfu was a little ashamed. If Cui Niupi hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that he had a legitimate wife. Although Du Ji had read him the book of justice, he gradually figured out that this might be Du Ji's unilateral
I might not have been calm at the time. Du Wan'er seemed a bit aggressive on the surface, so she probably wouldn't do such a thing.
"Brother, I know you don't like Mrs. Du in your heart, but she is the one you are marrying after all. In fact, I secretly listened in the corner that day. Brother, please don't worry. I did hear Mrs. Du say that she likes someone named Qin."
Cui Niubi worked hard for Miss Du today and told everything, "I later secretly asked Yue'er about this matter, and Yue'er said that Mrs. Du just secretly glanced at Qin outside.
, In fact, I haven’t even said anything. It’s nonsense to like Mr. Qin. As the old saying goes, the wife is better than the original wife..."
It was rare for Zhou Yuanfu to see Cui Niupi being so solemn. He wanted to laugh but felt that he couldn't laugh at this time. "Brother Cui, there is no need to talk about it anymore. I don't mind this matter. It's just that I have nothing to do with her anymore. I have seen the righteousness letter at the beginning. According to the
As far as the law at this time is concerned, that is, the government regulations, we should have nothing to do with it."
"That righteousness book you are talking about? That was something her brother did in private, and it had nothing to do with her! Later, after we detained them, we sent someone to secretly listen to the corner of the wall, and we heard them quarreling over this matter.
." Cui Niupi said nonchalantly.
Zhou Yuanfu couldn't laugh or cry. This Cui Niubi really likes to listen to others. He seems to be a good material for spying. "Then what should I do according to Brother Cui's opinion?"
"I've thought about it a long time ago and planned a big drama for you where a hero saves a beauty!" Cui Niupi's eyebrows almost flew up.
Zhou Yuanfu suddenly got goosebumps when he recalled the scene of his confrontation with Zhang Wei, "If there is a scene, you can sing it yourself. Don't arrange random roles for me. I can't stand your disgusting lines."
"No, I've thought it over carefully this time. Old man Tian said in the letter that Hanzhong is basically stable, the aristocratic families are all obedient, and Su Gu, the prefect, only cares about making money, and there is basically no point in taking advantage of mediocrity. Anyway,
Ju Yi also has to pretend to suppress the bandits, so why not put on a play for the family named Du. You go alone to rescue Mrs. Du, and then fight against the bandits. Hey, you can pacify Shangyong City with your own strength.
At the time of the imperial court, it was still said that Ju Yi was the one who pacified it. What, is this a good idea?"
Cui Niupi was very proud.
"The last time I faced Zhang Wei, the scene was similar to this time. Have you forgotten? Gan Ning's sister was also at the city gate at that time. I thought I would be able to stand out, but I was almost shot to death by Zhang Ren with an arrow.
This time you come again, I don’t have so many lives to play with you.”
Zhou Yuanfu shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, brother, this time I asked Xu Huang to cut down all the trees ten miles outside the city. The situation last time will definitely not happen again. I will guarantee that nothing will happen with my head." Cui Niubi slapped his chest loudly.
Zhou Yuanfu had some thoughts, "What should we do about Bajun? After all, Langzhong hasn't been captured yet."
"This Ludu sect Yan Pu has been here several times, and this Langzhong is not a matter of your words. This Zhang Ren really has a way, and now these stragglers are really good at training. We have been training while fighting these days
, there are twenty or thirty thousand troops, both overtly and covertly, so we might as well finish reporting the good news to the court as soon as possible. When the time comes, we will be promoted and we will occupy Yizhou as soon as possible. Then we can join forces with Mr. Yan. But Zhang Ren will kill people.
There is no ambiguity at all. He has killed hundreds of his brothers. Shouldn’t the elder brother take care of it? Otherwise, in the future, this group of soldiers will only see him and not know that there is an elder brother!"
Cui Niubi always thought of Zhou Yuanfu and advised him.
"Compassion does not lead the army, otherwise it is impossible to train strong soldiers. As the saying goes, do not use the people you doubt, do not trust the people you employ, and just let them continue to train the army. By the way, when will the tens of thousands of taels of silver you received from Zhang Lu be handed over?
?" Zhou Yuanfu suddenly asked.
"There are not tens of thousands taels, just ten thousand taels, the conscience of heaven and earth. Brother, by the way, how do you know this?" Cui Niubi was so frightened that he told the truth at that time.
Zhou Yuanfu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You kid, you have never engaged in loss-making business. You worked so hard to encourage me to let Zhang Lu go. You must have your little ninety-nine. If I cheat casually, you can tell it yourself."
Cui Niubi beat his chest and stamped his feet, sighing and said: "Brother is still smart, but I am a timid person. After accepting these ten thousand taels of silver, I haven't slept for several days. I have been thinking about what to tell you, now it's better, just hand it over.
I can still sleep peacefully."
Zhou Yuanfu laughed loudly, this Cui Niubi was greedy for money and lustful. If he could change this problem, he would be a good counselor in the future.
Now that the matter has been decided, Zhou Yuanfu did not hesitate and directly entrusted Zhang Ren with full authority to handle the affairs of Bajun. He only took Guan Yu and Cui Niubi with him and rushed to Shangyong. Gan Ning originally wanted to follow, but Zhou Yuanfu thought of Gan Mei.
, let Gan Ning stay in Bajun to assist Zhang Ren.
…
Du Waner has been in Shangyong for almost a year. Ever since she unsuccessfully sought death, she has been looking forward to Zhou Yuanfu coming to save her. When the peach blossoms bloom in spring, she watches at the city gate. In summer, when the peaches ripen, she is still waiting.
Now the leaves of the peach tree have turned yellow, but she has slowly become desperate. She stays behind closed doors all day long, and her life has no meaning. Maybe he has forgotten himself a long time ago, and who is he to him? Maybe he knows that he is trapped in
The den of thieves is just living an ignoble life, and they must look down upon themselves even more.
It's just that the thieves in Shangyong City are very strange. Except for not letting themselves commit suicide, they are all polite. Not only do they arrange accommodation, but they even arrange servants. There is no shortage of daily fuel, rice, oil and salt, which is a bit embarrassing to say the least.
The feeling of being attentive and diligent. Except that you can't leave the city, you can do whatever you want. You can go out at will, even to places like the city tower. The leader of the bandits guarding the city looks cold, but I have actually seen him.
A few times, I only remember his cold words that penetrated into my bones like a cold wind, "If you seek death again, your whole family will be buried with you!" Such a short sentence made me no longer have the courage to seek death.
After being treated politely by the bandits, he discussed it with Yue'er. Maybe the bandits wanted to recruit his brother. After all, his brother was a smart man and had served as an official. It should be that the bandits needed someone like his brother to support his appearance. But Yue'er said something.
She made a bold guess that the general named Xu was interested in her. This was really unbelievable. How could she stoop to become a thief?
The elder brother was very calm, reading and writing every day, as if he wanted to live in seclusion in Shangyong City. He told himself not to think about anything, to live peacefully in the city, and to wait for the army to defeat these thieves, he would naturally be able to leave the city.
.My brother is a smart man, and what he said is definitely correct. However, the officers and soldiers also came to encircle and suppress us several times, but they all returned without success.
Auntie is still nagging, always saying good things about General Xu, and she really intends to marry this man, but my brother is silent about this. It's really strange, Zhou Cang is also a thief, and this General Xu is also a thief, but my brother is not interested in Xu.
The general is not disgusted. I once asked my brother, and he said that General Xu and Zhou Cang are different. General Xu is a real general, while Zhou Cang is just a rebel. I really don’t understand what is the difference between the two.
, but I would rather die than marry him!
He didn't know what he was doing now. He heard from people that he was now the captain of Ba County, and he could be considered a majestic Han army officer. I guess he would be able to rise to prominence in the future. Maybe he would have many wives in the future, and he was
The real wife that Mingwei was marrying might just be the unruly and unreasonable little girl in his memory. As my aunt said, women have to accept their fate. Everything is fate. Who should I blame?
"Miss, let's go out for a walk, you will get sick if you stay bored like this." Yue'er prayed.
"You can go out if you want. I didn't stop you." Du Waner was in a bad mood, so she naturally spoke rudely.
Yue'er hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard from the guard at the door that there have been troops attacking the city in the past two days. Let's go and see the excitement."
"Hmph, what's so interesting about that? Last time you saw that bloody scene, you were so frightened that you fainted. Have you forgotten it now?"
"But, I heard that it seems that my uncle is here to save us this time."
