Zhu Gongdao also had a smile on his face and said, "Brother Gong Gong, I'm going to bother you again this time."
"What are you talking about, brother? Our brothers, if you say anything about nagging or not nagging, my home is your home. Come on, come on, come and sit inside."
"Wait a minute, this is my master Tang Gong. My fair brother needs more courtesy." Zhu Gongdao pointed at Gao Fei and said.
The middle-aged man glanced at Gao Fei, walked up to Gao Fei, and said, "I would like to wish you fair. I am the owner of this village and the virtuous younger brother of brother fair. I pay my respects to Mr. Tang."
Gao Fei hurriedly said: "Wish the owner well!"
Zhu Gongping laughed and said: "Tang Gong is the master of Brother Gongdao, that is, my master. Zhujiazhuang is equivalent to Tang Gong's place. In my own place, I don't need to be so polite. Tang Gong, please!"
So, Gao Fei entered the hall surrounded by Zhu Gongdao and Zhu Pingping, with Sima Yi following behind.
After entering the hall, Gao Fei was placed in the upper seat and wished justice and justice, while Sima Yi sat in the lower seat and the servants took the initiative to serve tea.
Zhu Gongdao first said: "Tang Gong, let's rest here tonight and hit the road again tomorrow morning. If there is justice here, we will be able to get us to Chang'an safely."
Gao Fei nodded. He was not familiar with the situation in Guanzhong, so he felt relieved that Zhu Gongdao would arrange it.
When Zhu Gongping heard Zhu Gongdao talking about Chang'an, he asked, "Does Mr. Tang want to go to Chang'an?"
"Well, I have something to do when I go to Chang'an." Gao Fei pinched his throat, pretending to be a senior voice, and said calmly.
Zhu Gongdao's face showed some embarrassment, and he turned to Zhu Gongdao and said: "Brother Gongdao, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to go to Chang'an..."
"What's wrong?" Gao Fei asked first.
"At the end of the year, someone openly assassinated the emperor of Qin, causing Ma Teng to be seriously injured. Now there are dark clouds over Chang'an, and the assassin has never been caught. Entering Chang'an at this time, I am afraid there will be some trouble."
"What kind of troublesome method?" Gao Fei asked further.
"In Chang'an now, only people are allowed to enter and no one is allowed to leave. All ten gates of Chang'an City are closed. Even entering Chang'an requires a lot of trouble," Zhu Pingping said.
Gao Fei thought for a while and said: "Ma Teng was assassinated. This matter must be serious. At this time, the city of Chang'an must be full of storms. The army has blocked the city gate and can only enter but not leave. The people in the city will also complain. At this time, take advantage of the chaos.
It may be a good time to enter Chang'an City."
Zhu Gongdao caught the conversation and said, "I will do whatever the master says. The master just makes up his mind."
Zhu Gongping saw that Zhu Gongdao was respectful to Gao Fei. He had known Zhu Gongdao for more than a day or two, and he also knew that he was Wang Yue. Zhu Gongdao was just his pseudonym. In the past, he was a bold and unruly swordsman who traveled all over the world and was invincible.
, today he is willing to become a rich man's house slave, which makes him a little confused. But since Gao Fei is here, he can't ask about it.
"Okay, now that Mr. Tang has made his decision, I, Zhu Gongping, will send Mr. Tang to Chang'an. I will rest in Hezhuang today, and I will personally send Mr. Tang and Brother Gongdao to Chang'an early tomorrow morning." Zhu Pingping said loudly.
Afterwards, the servants served wine and food. After everyone had eaten and drank, Gao Fei went down to rest.
Zhu Gongdao personally sent Gao Fei to the room and said, "Master, please rest peacefully. You can go to Chang'an tomorrow. If you need anything, just call me, I'm right next door."
Gao Fei nodded, glanced at Zhu Gongdao, and asked: "Your name is Zhu Gongdao. Is this name based on Zhu Gongdao?"
"My master guessed it right. I named him after Mr. Gong Gong. He has been a good friend of mine for many years. We met twenty years ago. Our friendship can be described as brotherly love. However, Mr. Gong Gong's family has a great business and he stayed here.
Guanzhong is not like me, wandering around." Zhu Gongdao said.
Gao Fei said: "This village is indeed not something that ordinary people can own. There are very few servants in Zhujiazhuang, but everyone is a disciple of the family. They should be diners raised by Zhu Jingyi, right?"
"Exactly, my dear brother is good at martial arts, and his own swordsmanship is very good, but the people he raises are all good swordsmen, so there are not many servants in the entire Zhu Family Village, and everyone usually competes with each other in martial arts when they have nothing to do, and they are free and happy.
Zi Zi. Master, you rest for now, I will take my leave first."
Gao Fei nodded and went to undress and take off his belt.
After Zhu Gongping exited Gao Fei's room, he saw Zhu Gongping standing under the corridor and motioned for him to come over. He walked briskly to Zhu Gongping's side and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Gongping opened the door of Zhu Gonggong's room and said with a smile: "Go in and talk in detail."
After the two people entered the room, Zhu Gongdao sat on a stool and asked: "Brother Gong Gong, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Brother, who is Mr. Tang? How can you, the best swordsman in the world, bow down to him? This is something I have never seen before." Zhu Gongping also sat down and opened his mouth to ask.
"Fair brother, you also know that I always repay my kindness to my brother. Mr. Tang was kind to me, so..."
Zhu Gongping interrupted Zhu Gonggong with a click of his tongue and said, "Brother, do you not believe me? Are you using this excuse to fend off my brother?"
"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Therefore, Zhu Gongdao told Zhu Gonggong the identity of Gao Fei.
After Zhu Gongping heard this, he couldn't help being stunned for a long time, and then said slowly: "No wonder the eldest brother protects Mr. Tang so carefully. It turns out that he is... So what is the purpose of the trip between eldest brother and Mr. Tang?"
"I don't know this, and I don't ask. Asking too many questions may not be a good thing. Fair brother, you and I have known each other for twenty years. After entering Chang'an this time, I hope you will protect Mr. Tang's safety. Chang'an is
In the imperial capital of Qin, although I have excellent swordsmanship, if I can successfully defeat
Thousands of soldiers and bravery, after all, are not enough. The people in your village are all good hands. If you really encounter any trouble, please give them a helping hand. What's more, in Chang'an City, your apprentices are everywhere.
With you here, I can definitely ensure that Mr. Tang is safe."
Zhu Gongdao suddenly felt that the burden on him was so heavy, but after knowing the truth of the matter, he resolutely shouldered the burden, patted his chest, and said to Zhu Gongdao: "Don't worry, brother, as long as I am here, I will not let Mr. Tang have it."
Something went wrong.”
The two people looked at each other and smiled. In the past, there were two great swordsmen in the late Han Dynasty. Wang Yue from the eastern capital of Luoyang, and Zhu Gongping from the western capital of Chang'an. Both of them were the best swordsmen in the world. They traveled around the world and specialized in fighting injustices, so they got into trouble.
He broke many laws and was wanted instead.
Later, during the amnesty, the two met by chance on the top of Mount Huashan. They cherished each other, competed in martial arts, and became close friends from then on. They lamented that troubled times were coming, but they still could not make a difference, and they could not seek happiness for more people by themselves.
, so they each went to open martial arts schools and teach their disciples. From then on, they started the bitter journey of the two great masters.
It's a pity that Wang Yue's life was tragic, but Zhu Pingping's life experience was not much better. Not long after the martial arts gym opened, it was suppressed by the people in power, and eventually died without any illness.
Many years later, when the two met again, they were already very old. After Zhu Pingping failed to open a martial arts school, he lived in seclusion in Zhujiazhuang. After all, his family was a local gentry, and they had no worries about food and drink, so they simply had a leisurely life.
.It’s just that Wang Yue is miserable.
Dian, after he lost his hand that year, he was rescued by Zhu Hao. After his injury improved, he went west and joined Zhujiazhuang. He stayed in Zhujiazhuang for two years. From then on, he became anonymous and became brothers with Zhu Pingping.
The surname Zhu is to wish for justice.
Early the next morning, Gao Fei, Sima Yi, and Zhu Gongdao entered the carriage under the arrangements of Zhu Gongdao and others. More than ten servants from Zhujiazhuang also went on the road together, bringing food and drinks with them, as well as possible supplies on the way.
What I arrived at was heading west.
The entire Zhujiazhuang was also closed and locked.
……………………
The majestic Chang'an stands on the land of Guanzhong, with Qin soldiers standing on the city walls, the city gates are closed, and the black flag with the word "Qin" fluttering in the wind, whistling.
On the road, several carriages were slowly driving towards Chang'an City. The soldiers guarding the city had already seen them clearly and immediately reported them to the guard general.
The guard looked from a distance and saw a small flag hanging on the frame of the carriage with the word "blessing" embroidered on it. His eyes immediately lit up and he hurriedly said to his men: "Open the city gate quickly!"
After saying this, the guard hurriedly came down from the city tower. At this time, the city gate opened. He asked the soldiers to line up to go out to welcome him. He packed his clothes and stood at the city gate waiting quietly.
"Sir, who is here? Why are you so nervous?" asked one of the guard's confidants.
The guard smiled and said: "My mentor is here, of course I want to welcome him. Go and prepare some good wine and food. I will have a banquet for my mentor later."
"promise!"
The carriage came slowly. Zhu Gongping opened the curtain and saw that the city gate had been opened. He smiled and said: "This boy, it seems that he hasn't forgotten me yet."
Zhu Gongdao glanced at him and asked, "But your apprentice?"
"Um."
After Gao Fei heard this, he laughed and said: "It was only because of the reputation of Zhu Zhuangzhu that we were able to have a smooth journey. Unexpectedly, before we reached Chang'an City, the city gate had already been opened to us."
Zhu Gongping said: "It's a shame that this city gate is the one we go through. If it were to be through another city gate, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as smooth."
Not long after, the carriage stopped. Zhu Gongping got off the carriage first, and his apprentice who was the guard immediately came over and bowed: "Master, please accept..."
"Hey! Now you are an official and I am a citizen. How can an official salute the people?" Zhu Gongping supported his apprentice and said with a smile, "Here, I will introduce some people to you."
"yes!"
"This is your senior uncle Zhu Gongdao, and this is Duke Tang." Seeing Zhu Gongdao and Gao Fei get off the carriage, Zhu Pingping introduced them one by one.
Sima Yi also got off the carriage and said hurriedly: "There is also me. I am Tang Gong's apprentice."
Zhu Gonggong laughed and said to Gao Fei: "Mr. Tang, this is my stubborn disciple Liu Yu, who is now serving as an errand under the captain of the Qin State City Gate."
"Liu Yu has met you all. I have asked people to prepare food and drinks. Please follow me into the city!" Liu Yu said politely.
Gao Fei nodded and thought to himself: "I didn't expect to enter Chang'an City so easily. I wonder if it's because the defense of the capital of Qin is too weak, or because of Zhu Pingfen?"
