"What are you doing? Brother, sister-in-law Diaochan, are you worshiping?"
Cui Niupi opened the door and walked in, holding food in his hand.
Zhou Yuanfu stood up in embarrassment and reprimanded: "Just talking nonsense, we, Diao Chan accidentally fell down just now, and I was about to help her... By the way, what are you doing?"
"Hmm, I believe you when you say you two are catching crickets." Cui Niupi said with a wink, "Brother, stop pretending. I peeked in the temple and saw you two kissing.
"
Lu Buwei suddenly felt sick in his heart and his face felt feverish, but to Cui Niupi, his pretty face turned red, and he thought it was Diao Chan who was shy.
"Sister-in-law Diao Chan was still shy. Later, my eldest brother even took off your clothes..."
Before Cui Niubi finished speaking, he asked Zhou Yuanfu to grab a handful of rice and stuff it in his mouth.
Guan Yu also opened the door and came in. Seeing that Diao Chan seemed to have been crying, he handed over a handkerchief and turned his face to one side.
"Thank you sister-in-law for the handkerchief. I have washed it and now the original is returned."
Zhou Yuanfu hurriedly winked at Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei also knew that this was not the time to talk, so he silently took the handkerchief and held it in his hand.
Guan Yu bowed and saluted Diao Chan, then turned around and kicked Cui Niupi, "You're such a waste, why did you start eating by yourself first? Put the rice down and get out, we'll eat after my eldest brother and sister-in-law have finished eating."
"Brother Guan, don't just do it when you have nothing to do, no matter how big or small. Even if you eat, you have to wait for me to finish eating before you eat. Hey, why are you carrying me?"
Before he finished speaking, Cui Niubi was pulled out by Guan Yu's neck.
The situation became awkward again. Zhou Yuanfu divided a portion of the meal and put it on the table. "Now that you have come, let it be. Don't think too much, Prime Minister Lu. Please bear with it for now."
After that, I took the food and went out to eat with everyone.
After everyone had finished eating, Guan Yu saw that there was still some rice left on the table, so he picked it up.
"Brother Guan, you really eat a lot. Are you still not full after eating so much?" Cui Niupi said.
Guan Yu ignored him and bowed to Zhou Yuanfu and said: "Brother, Zhang Liao hasn't eaten yet, I'll bring some for him to eat."
"What's up? Is Zhang Liao awake?"
Only then did Zhou Yuanfu remember that there was Zhang Liao. Lu Bu had become a mortal enemy, and Lu Buwei was probably in trouble. Recruiting Zhang Liao could be considered a consolation prize.
"He's awake. I had a conversation with him just now. He is quite proficient in the art of war. He fought with him yesterday and his skills are really good. Do you want to recruit this person?" Guan Yu said, "But I'm afraid this person is not easy to recruit.
He attaches great importance to family status, and my family background..."
"Let's go, let me go and have a look. With my sharp tongue, I will definitely say that he will surrender. If he doesn't surrender, hey, since he came to arrest us with Lu Bu, I will kill these two pretty boys one by one."
Send them to the palace to be eunuchs."
After Cui Niubi finished speaking, he shrank his neck and ran away without waiting for Guan Yu's big hand to strike.
Guan Yu paused and said: "Brother, look..."
"Don't worry, Yun Chang. What happened to Lu Bu is indeed due to my carelessness. I will never let him use this method again in the future." He turned to Cui Niupi and said, "Brother Cui, this is such a despicable method.
, and cannot use it again in the future. As the saying goes, don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you, this is the truth.”
Guan Yu took the opportunity to pull out half of the sword from his waist, and then inserted it back in with a clanging sound. Cui Niupi was startled and hurriedly hid behind Zhou Yuanfu.
Guan Yu took the food and led the two of them to find Zhang Liao. When Zhou Yuanfu saw that Zhang Liao was still tied to the pillar, he hurriedly asked Guan Yu to untie him. Zhang Liao was tied up all night and his whole body was sore and numb. He could hardly stand and almost fell down.
Come down.
Zhou Yuanfu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Brother Wenyuan was frightened. I will apologize to you."
"Who is your brother? Whose brother are you? If you want to kill him, just kill him. Don't be nagging."
Zhang Liao broke away from Zhou Yuanfu's hand and turned around to glare angrily, as if he was looking forward to death.
When Zhou Yuanfu heard this, he pulled out the sword from Guan Yu's waist, put it on Zhang Liao's neck, and shouted: "Since you want to die, then I will fulfill your wish!"
Zhang Liao was startled, feeling that the plot had reversed too quickly, but his expression changed slightly, and he closed his eyes and waited for death.
"Brother, you must not do it. Zhang Liao is such a talented person. It would be a pity to kill him like this."
Zhang Liao originally closed his eyes and waited for death, but suddenly he heard Guan Yu intercede for him and opened his eyes to look at Guan Yu.
"I know that Wen Yuan is more courageous than others, so I will use this as a test. Don't panic, Mr. Wen Yuan. Brother Wen Yuan, I offended you a lot just now. Don't blame me."
Zhou Yuanfu turned into a warm smile in the spring breeze again.
Cui Niubi also laughed loudly next to him, "Brother Guan, you are too upright. Isn't this a murderous person? I just wanted to test Zhang Liao's courage, but now it's better to let you mess with it."
Zhang Liao thought to himself that none of these two madmen were normal people, but their expressions were not as stubborn as before.
Zhou Yuanfu achieved his goal, so he ordered Cui Niubi, "Brother Cui, go get a jar of good wine to calm brother Wen Yuan's shock."
Cui Niupi agreed and left.
"I heard that ancestor Wenyuan was Nie 1, the mastermind of the Mayi conspiracy?"
Zhou Yuanfu knew that recruitment was not achieved overnight, so he could only take slow and roundabout steps.
Zhang Liao sighed and did not answer.
Zhou Yuanfu was not anxious when he saw this, "Then why do you want to change Nie to Zhang?"
Zhang Liao finally couldn't help it anymore, "Our ancestor Nie 1 designed the plan out of loyalty and righteousness, but Shanyu was too cunning and saw through the plan. On the one hand, almost all the country's efforts were devoted to setting up the siege of Mayi.
The Emperor Wu was furious because his efforts were in vain, and my ancestor died as a result. On the other hand, my family was originally a wealthy Mayi family, and they often traded goods with the Xiongnu and had considerable wealth. After this, the Shanyu also issued a death order to kill my family.
I had no choice but to change my surname."
"This Emperor Wu is so unkind! As the saying goes, everything depends on man and God will do it. Your ancestors were so loyal and loyal, but in the end it ended up like this. It is really sad. This Han Dynasty did not reward meritorious deeds and punished those who were innocent. The world knows
Gentlemen should fight against it together!"
Zhang Liao knew that this was a provocation and did not answer the question. Cui Niupi also brought wine, and Zhou Yuanfu personally filled up a glass for Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao thought it was ordinary turbid wine, so he picked it up and drank it. After one sip, the strong wine rushed into his stomach like a fire dragon. He almost thought it was poison. After the wine entered his stomach, it no longer stung, and the strong alcohol suddenly rushed to the seven meridians and eight meridians.
, makes people feel very comfortable.
“Good wine!”
After eating three cups in a row, Cui Niupi looked distressed and muttered: "Drink slowly, drink slowly, there really won't be much left this time."
Zhou Yuanfu laughed loudly and filled another glass, "What did Brother Cui say? The hero is here, why waste this jar of good wine."
Zhang Liao also felt a little embarrassed. He didn't pick up the wine glass as boldly as before, and started to sip it, but it didn't taste very good.
"Then why is Wenyuan and Lu Bu together?"
Zhou Yuanfu was very curious about this question and wanted to see how good the friendship between Zhang Liao and Lu Bu was. He and Lu Bu were in a fight to the death. If Zhang Liao and Lu Bu were as close as brothers, he would have to consider whether to recruit them.
Zhang Liao pondered for a while and said: "Brother Fengxian and I have met several times and fought against each other. I feel ashamed. I admire brother Fengxian's bravery very much."
Zhou Yuanfu nodded secretly when he heard this. It means that the friendship is not deep, so there is no problem.
"In addition, Brother Fengxian and I are from the same clan, so we are considered brothers. It just happened that this time, the county governor sent me to Jinyang for business, and I met Brother Fengxian, so I followed him..."
"I don't understand this. Your surname is Zhang. No, your surname should be Nie. Then Lu Bu's surname is Lu. Why are you from the same clan?" Cui Niupi asked.
"You don't know something about this. Our surname Nie originated from Jiang Taigong Lu Shang. Jiang Taigong had a son Lu Ji, and Lu Ji had a son Lu Heng. Because of his meritorious service in assisting King Cheng of Zhou, he was granted the title of Nie Yi, so he was named Nie. Taking Nie as my surname means that my eldest brother Fengxian and I have a kinship."
Zhang Liao's words were so clear and logical that no one could refute him.
"It seems that what you said is right, but I think you have been deceived. This Lu Bu's surname is not Lu, but Bu. It seems that you are quite smart, how come you were deceived by Lu Bu?" Cui Niupi said, shaking his head.
Zhang Liao stood up abruptly, "Don't talk nonsense. The surname Bu is nowhere to be found. You must have said that deliberately to drive a wedge between the two of us!"
Cui Niubi wanted to say more, but Guan Yu nodded and said, "This was indeed said by Lu Bu himself. At that time..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by another person, "Why is there no surname of Bu? Isn't the surname of Bu Zi, the doctor of the State of Zhao, Bu?"
