The soldiers scolded, and the soldiers guarding the city gate came out one after another. The people around them exclaimed and hurriedly avoided. Soon, the soldiers surrounded the group. The people in Chang'an were still quite bold. Faced with such a situation, they were still in the mood to come forward and wait and see, asking what was going on.
The group of people surrounded by soldiers looked unkempt and ragged, with more than ten people, all of whom were strong men.
The tall, muddy savage in the head, who looked like a very Western Qiang man, faced the soldier who suddenly surrounded him, the man angrily raised the big crossbow in his hand and cursed: "What are you doing to surround Naigong? Naigong is just wearing a little ragged clothes, are you going to catch Naigong? When did Chang'an become so snobbish? Is it a mistake for me to be simple?!"
The soldiers stared at him coldly, all their weapons were unsheathed, and their crossbows were aimed at him.
"Put down the big crossbow in your hand first before speaking!
”
The man then noticed the powerful crossbow in his hand. The strong crossbow is the most strictly controlled equipment in the man, because this thing is too powerful and can be used by anyone, and there is no need for the proficiency of bows and arrows. Even the elders don’t dare to get too close to this thing when wearing heavy armor, because this thing can cause armor-breaking effects. If you hide your armor stomach privately, you still have the possibility of living, but if you hide your strong crossbow privately, you basically have no way to live.
But the man was not afraid, but instead shouted angrily: "No man said that he was strong crossbow, even if he was wearing armor and holding a crossbow, no one dared to care about me! Go and call Lu Chan over to me!
Go quickly!
”
When the soldiers heard his words, they were a little afraid to take action. People who dared to make such a fool of themselves outside Chang'an City were rare and were also very difficult to mess with. Just as the soldiers continued to confront him, Lu Chan rushed over. Lu Chan's face looked very bad. He just came home when he was resting and was about to greet his wife, but he was suddenly interrupted by the soldiers and brought him here. Lu Chan came here with a dark face.
The man saw that Lu Chan was coming, and immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Chan, let them let me go!"
Lu Chan looked at the savage in front of him suspiciously. The more he looked at the savage, the more familiar he became. After watching for a long time, he suddenly realized.
“Xiahou Zao???”
"Yes! Why, I can't recognize me after a few years of Xitingguo?"
Xiahou Zao was very angry. Lu Chan looked him up and down. Of course, he knew Xiahou Zao. People like Quxian and the young people in Chang'an knew each other, and they all knew them even after they turned into ashes. However, with Xiahou Zao's appearance... Lu Chan hurriedly asked the soldiers to retreat and walked forward hesitantly.
"I have heard of the poor in Xiting, but I didn't expect that it was so poor... You were the Grand Marshal there, and you didn't even have any clothes?"
Lu Chan's eyes were a little complicated.
Xiahou Zao lowered his head and looked at his hands. He wanted to say something, pursed his lips, but didn't say it. Lu Chan sighed and led him into the city, saying as he walked; "I really didn't expect that... Xiting Country is so poor, I can't sit idly by. Let's do this, go find my younger brother Lu later, his family is very rich..."
Xiahou Zao stammered a few times and led the people to hurry towards the direction of the palace. It was so eye-catching along the way. If Lu Chan had not sent the soldiers to follow them, he would have been caught by the soldiers on the way.
"kitchen???"
Liu Chang widened his eyes and looked at the dirt-faced savage in front of him, almost unable to recognize him.
"Your Majesty~~~"
Xiahou Zao wailed, rushed towards Liu Chang with tears and snot, hugged Liu Chang, and then cried: "It's good if you don't have any trouble, it's good if you don't have any trouble!
”
Liu Chang pushed him with disgust, but did not push him away, "Let go of Nai Gong, Nai Gong's new Chufu!"
Xiahou Zao vented his emotions and then sat in front of Liu Chang, wiping his snot mixed with tears. Liu Chang shook his head in this way, "Are you rolling all the way from Xitingguo? Or are you robbed by a thief halfway?"
"Ahem, I'm so worried about Your Majesty. This is what I've been like when I traveled a long distance."
"I have seen you traveling a long distance. You are definitely not going to travel a long distance. You are running for a long distance. Refugees are not like you... To be honest!"
Xiahou Zao stammered and didn't want to say it clearly, but the person who looked like the deputy general behind him couldn't help but confess, "Your Majesty, in fact, the Taiwei Xiahou did not lie. He really became like this because he was too worried about His Majesty and traveled a long distance... We had a total of six cars and twenty-eight people. As soon as we set off from the mansion, Taiwei Xiahou hit the city gate... A car was scrapped, four people were injured, and then the Taiwei crashed into a tree on the road... Another car was destroyed, and two people were injured..."
"When we arrived in Beitingguo, we were already walking..."
Liu Chang nodded, "Then why not borrow a car from the local area?"
"I borrowed... Beitingguo borrowed six cars, but before he arrived in Longxi, all of them were destroyed... We just borrowed all the way, bumped all the way, compensated all the way... and almost died on the road..."
The deputy general said it all in tears, his voice was miserable and sad.
Liu Chang shook his head again. Is the thing in front of him really Xiahou Ying’s biological child?
"You came from Xitingguo so anxiously to look at me?"
"I was in Xiting Kingdom. When I heard that His Majesty was hit by a stone in the head, I rushed here without stopping. Originally, the king wanted to come by himself, but he could not go abroad, so I asked me to come on his behalf... I was too anxious, so I made a mistake and ruined several cars..."
"No, no, this is your normal level... I know, you don't have to say much... But I have issued newspapers to read them everywhere, why are you still here?"
"newspaper?"
Xiahou Zao looked confused and then said angrily: "But no one has sent me a newspaper!"
Liu Chang slapped his forehead suddenly, "Forget it, if I didn't say anything, come here, take this savage down to wash up and feed him some food... If General Xiahou Ying saw him later, I was afraid that he would be so angry that he would go to see my father..."
Xiahou Zao was taken down. Liu Chang looked at Lu Lu on the side and asked, "Is it too risky to let him be the Grand Marshal?"
Lu Lu couldn't help laughing, "The only one who can make His Majesty doubt his employing people is Xiahou Zao... Xiahou Zao is not very smart, but fortunately he is brave and easy to appease. Being a grand marshal in Xiting Kingdom is also a good use. If it is placed in the Central Plains, it may cause some big trouble..."
"I don't dare to let him go to war, for fear that he will get lost, so I will take the army to Rome directly..."
"Your Majesty, what does mules and horse mean?"
"Oh, a great country in the west, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be seen in the future... I have asked King Mahan and King Fuyu to play music before, which is really not worthy of my merit. If King Rome and King Persia can play a song for me, that is a country of etiquette."
Lu Lu found that His Majesty's words were becoming more and more difficult to understand, but he got used to it. His Majesty has been like this since he was a child. He always said something that others could not understand and muttered to himself. When he was young, King Zhao always said that this child had burned his head when he was young and could not take his words seriously...
"Xiahou Zao came from afar, after all, he was kind-hearted. Why don't he reward him again?"
At this moment, Lu Lu could no longer hold it back.
"Your Majesty, my salary this year is not enough for me to give me a reward... Even if you give me a reward, you can't do this!
People always pay for your salary when doing things, but I’m fine, I’ll pay for it!”
"Hey, how could you make you lose money? I still have a lot of ideas here, each of which can help you make a lot of money! Shangfang is creating some new things, and these things will be given to you in the future. For example, cement, do you want it?"
"What mud?"
"Cement can be used in the future instead of brick, stone and wood for construction. Think about it, what is the construction volume of the entire man? If you can do this job, how much can you earn?"
"In addition to cement, there are also new bricks and stones I have come up with recently. The quality is very good. There will be more good things in the future, so you can do these!"
Under Liu Chang's bewitchment, Lu Lu surrendered.
Xiahou Zao soon walked in again and finally became a little bit like a human being. He glanced at Lu Lu and asked curiously: "When did you start to have a beard?"
"Fart! Nai Gong has always had it!
”
Liu Chang signaled Xiahouzao to sit down, and then said seriously: "Take out the letter Qi has given you."
Xiahou Zao widened his eyes, "How did Your Majesty know that he has a letter to you?"
As he spoke, he took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Chang. The letter was not clean. Liu Chang wiped it, but did not answer Xiahou Zao's question. He started to read it carefully. After reading it for a long time, Liu Chang put the letter aside, looking a little serious.
"After all the princes, only Qi is the most reassuring... Sauce, don't rush to leave during this period. Xiting Kingdom currently lacks officials. I will help you handle it. Then, you will bring those people with you."
"only."
"Your Majesty, I have been walking around all the time. Chang'an and Xiting have been walking back and forth a few times. Even if you don't say it, I can't leave anymore. I have to rest for a while... By the way, I have brought gifts to Your Majesty from Xiting Kingdom!"
As Xiahou Zao said, it made people take the bamboo slips. Liu Chang was stunned. Are there anyone using bamboo slips these days?
Xiahou Zao sat next to Liu Chang, opened the bamboo slips with peace of mind, and took out a dagger from it. At that moment, Lu Lu widened his eyes. If he hadn't believed in Xiahou Zao's character, he would have drawn his sword and chopped it down now. He couldn't help but scolded: "Xiahou Zao! What do you want to do?!"
Liu Chang was not panicked at all. He took the dagger away and put it in his hand and started playing with it.
The dagger was particularly exquisite, with gems everywhere on the handle, and there were many words that Liu Chang didn't recognize, and even had gold decorations. Liu Chang had never seen such a delicate dagger in his life. It was so beautiful, shining with a cold light, it was really extraordinary, and Liu Chang was stunned.
"What a knife, this thing must be good to cut meat!"
"I'm very happy that you can give me a treasure knife like this, but I still want to ask, what does it mean to hide the knife in a bamboo slip??"
Xiahou Zao said with confidence: "I have read the law! The palace cannot bring daggers to enter!"
Liu Chang was silent for a long time, "Oh... Okay, this dagger is really extraordinary, Lu, look, this is a dagger with body poison? Is there a word on it? Is it the word on the other side of body poison?"
Lu Lu also played with it and nodded, "It seems that I'm not sure, the stove, where did you get this dagger?"
"This is my spoil. I met the nobleman of the body and poisoned, and directly subdued him, took this treasure from him, and presented it to His Majesty!
”
Xiahou Zao said happily, then described his battle proudly. When he said that he easily subdued the enemy, Xiahou Zao's face was full of smiles, and he was indescribable and he was dancing with his hands and feet. Liu Chang and Lu Lu laughed at it.
"Not bad, you reckless man, finally did something human. You deserve your strength. Not bad. You will do such things in the future. Do you know? Don't do stupid things. Look at you. Your advantage is still on the battlefield. This spoil is good. I like it very much. The sword of the poisonous nobleman, hahaha, I just used it to cut meat!
”
"Lu Lu!
Reward him a hundred golds!
”
This time, Lu Lu was not even displeased. He was also very happy for his brother and hurriedly agreed, with a happy smile on his face. Xiahou Zao was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. The brothers were happy. Liu Chang played with the sword, but the smile on his face quickly solidified.
"Stove, this is not right."
"Your Majesty? What's wrong?"
"You didn't follow the Grand Marshal to go to the expedition to the death of the body and poison?"
"How could you have trophy?"
Xiahou Zao smiled and said, "I met a toxic person elsewhere."
"Are elsewhere? Where? Western Regions or Peacock Kingdom?"
“In Lantian County.”
At that moment, Liu Chang and Lu Lu's expressions changed. Liu Chang looked at the dagger in his hand again, raised his head, looked at Xiahou Zao, looked at him for a long time, jumped up suddenly, kicked Xiahou Zao over with one kick, and then beat him after chasing him. Xiahou Zao kept dodging, "Your Majesty!
His Majesty!
Don't do it! Don't do it! What's wrong with me?! This is the spoil!
”
“Ticket!
Your mother's this is a robbery!
”
"You actually dare to rob, I won't beat you to death today!
”
"Your Majesty, it was those who took the initiative. I left well. They insisted on scolding me and even asked me to salute them. They also seized the houses of local people. How could I, Han people be bullied by them so much?!"
Hearing this sentence, Liu Chang stopped his hand again and looked at Lu Lu in confusion.
"Why are there poisonous people in the territory of the Han Dynasty?"
Lu Lu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can it be... come to pay homage to His Majesty's Prince Baicheng..."
"Didn't the Peacock Kingdom, which is south of the poisonous state, say that they should also let their prince come to Chang'an to study as a proton?"
Liu Chang's face turned dark, "It's probably him... Then this guy is also unlucky. He met the robber Xiahouzao, but if he really acted recklessly in the territory of the Han Dynasty and bullied our Han people, he deserved it..."
Xiahou Zao nodded quickly and said, "I've bullied him, he's definitely bullied!"
"Shut up to me!
!”
Liu Chang swears and asks again: "Where are those people? You won't cut their heads, are you?"
"I just cut off one of the whip-handed one of the whips. The guy whipped a farmer on the road. I killed him and robbed the rest of the people. Everyone else begged for mercy. I didn't kill him. I took off their clothes and took money, and released them... I was still very kind..."
"You can't get into it... Now take people to find them. If the prince of Baicheng Kingdom dies, I will definitely cut you down!
”
"I understand...at least you can just pay him a life."
Xiahou Zao turned around and left here angrily.
Liu Chang rubbed his forehead, "I have heard of killing protons, but I have never heard of robbing protons. How can I keep my face in my great man... You should also go to King Chengyang, mobilize everyone, and find those people as soon as possible. If it is really the prince, please receive it from Chang'an as soon as possible and comfort it."
"What if he died?"
"Not that there are so many followers around him..."
.........
Chang'an sent a large number of people to Longxi. Xiahou Zao was the first to set off. He led a group of cavalry and started to return on the same route. This time, he did not drive anymore. Xiahou Zao was swearing along the way. He obviously did not do anything wrong, would he still want the poisonous people to show off their power on the land of the Han Dynasty? So what if he killed it, but why should a barbarian prince pay so much attention?
Although he was very scolding, Xiahouzhao was still very troublesome to find.
After all, he saw how angry His Majesty was. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of pain. He didn't want to be beaten. It hurts his Majesty even when he was completely angry, even if he punched him, he couldn't stand firm.
After a full twelve days of searching, finally, on an official road, Xiahou Zao saw the group of people and horses from a distance.
Those were the group of people who had taken action. They were particularly embarrassed at the moment, and their ragged clothes were not enough to describe them. They were even more savage than Xiahou Zhao's savage. They looked extremely miserable. They were trembling and rushing on the way when they saw Xiahou Zhao rushing towards them.
One person shouted, "Prince! The robber is here again!"
A young man with extremely dark skin and thin figure looked at the cavalrymen charging in the distance, so scared that he almost jumped up and turned around and ran away.
"Don't run! I'll shoot an arrow if I run again!
”
"You're still running away, right?! Mr. Nai really shoots you to death!
”
"A dog-entering poisonous person!
He actually dared to look down on Naigong!
”
"General! General! They are poisonous people! I don't understand your words! Their translator has been hacked to death by you!
”
Soon, Xiahou Zao caught up with these people. These people begged for mercy again. Xiahou Zao waved his hand and everyone grabbed them, regardless of their roar and set out towards Chang'an. At this moment, the prince of Baicheng was indescribable regret. After the Peacock Kingdom surrendered to the great man, he had strong support and was eager to try and prepared to recover the original land. Baicheng Kingdom was separated from the Peacock Empire and was also their goal.
In order to protect himself, the King Baicheng decided to follow their example and send his son to the Han Dynasty to express his thoughts of surrender. But the prince never expected that he would be robbed by bandits while eating steamed buns and singing all the way!
