Chapter 148: Uncle Liu, who has a very strong ability to reshape stories
At this time, Zhang Xiu's whole appearance had changed drastically compared to the previous time in Hedong.
I have lost a lot of weight and my whole person seems to have no energy.
The two obvious dark circles on his face are particularly eye-catching.
It was not a long journey, it was too hard, the wind and sand were too strong, and Zhang Xiu was blown away by such vicissitudes.
It's not because during this trip, Zhang Xiu brought along the extremely beautiful Juicer Girl, who juiced her like crazy along the way, almost draining herself dry.
But he was particularly resistant and anxious about this trip.
During this journey, his uncle, who had never treated him like this before, and the words he said to him, kept lingering in his mind, making his thoughts heavy.
Thinking about this trip and the tasks he had shouldered, Zhang Xiu's heart became even heavier.
He is young and used to follow his uncle and was protected by his uncle. He also has good martial arts and is very capable. How has he ever been soft to others?
When have you ever done something so embarrassing?
Moreover, looking at Liu Cheng's behavior, he is extremely arrogant.
On this trip, I am no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
After being delivered to your door, you will definitely be severely humiliated by this guy!
It would be easier to say that this guy is older than me, but the key point is that this damn guy is younger than me!
Just thinking about these things makes Zhang Xiu feel particularly uncomfortable.
On the way here, Zhang Xiu wanted to drive away more than once without coming to Sishui Pass, which made him feel particularly tormented and uncomfortable.
But the pride in his heart, as well as the many words his uncle told him when he came, made him not do so...
Along the way, Zhang Xiu has been thinking about these things.
I can't sleep, I can't eat.
It would be strange if Zhang Xiu didn't change a lot under such great ideological pressure!
He has already met the soldiers and horses patrolling here at Sishui Pass.
These people on patrol had already sent people back quickly to report the arrival of themselves and others.
At this point, I have no way out!
Zhang Xiu thought in his heart, looking at the Sishui Pass that had appeared in front of him, secretly cheering himself up, and gritted his teeth and made up his mind!
Then he straightened his back hard, held his breath, and led the people towards Sishui Pass, which was more terrifying to him than Longtan and Tiger's Den.
Be mentally prepared that you will be severely insulted...
…
"Zhang Xiu is here? Which Zhang Xiu? Is it Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji's nephew?"
Liu Cheng, who received the report, looked a little surprised.
He really didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would come at this time.
After all, Zhang Xiu had left a youthful and energetic impression on him during their previous encounters.
Moreover, the experience between the two parties was not very pleasant.
When I passed through Sishui Pass before, I once knocked him off his horse and captured him alive.
Later, they took away many war horses, ordnance and other things from Zhang Ji.
Later, Zhang Xiu and Niu Fu asked for it from him in Luoyang, and they lent it to him.
Until now, I have not returned it, and I have no intention of returning it.
With these things happening, according to Zhang Xiu's temperament, he shouldn't come over...
Could it be that this guy came here again to ask for war horses and weapons?
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Cheng showed a smile on his face.
"Did you ever know what he was here for?"
Liu Cheng asked.
"He said he was guarding the military doctor along the way. He was worried that the military doctor would be harmed. At the same time, he also had a handwritten letter from his uncle Zhang Ji that he wanted to submit."
Liu Cheng, the personal guard, said immediately.
Liu Cheng thought for a while, nodded, and said no more.
After a while, Liu Cheng stood up and followed the guard outside.
At this time, Zhang Xiu had already led people to the military camp set up by Liu Cheng.
For a while, no important personnel came to greet him and others.
There are not even ordinary reception staff.
Even though she had made some preparations in her heart before, seeing such a scene now, Zhang Xiu still felt very uncomfortable.
The fists in the cuffs were clenched tightly.
It was at this time that someone came out of the camp.
This man walked very quickly, and all the soldiers who met him on the road saluted him.
Zhang Xiu, who was very angry just now, couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he saw this, and even his clenched fists unconsciously loosened some...
Because at this time, he had confirmed the identity of this fast-walking man!
This person is none other than Liu Cheng and Liu Kede who I have been thinking about for a long time!
Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and lowered his head with great difficulty, preparing to face the humiliation from Liu Cheng.
Then, something extremely surprising happened to him.
While he was waiting, Liu Cheng strode up to him, and then his hands were held by two extremely warm hands.
This made Zhang Xiu couldn't help but tremble, and his whole body became a little stiff.
Then I subconsciously want to struggle.
However, his struggle was not successful because the two big hands holding his hands were holding tightly.
"Unexpectedly, Youwei personally led the team here. As soon as I got the news, I hurried out. I was not able to conduct a distant reception. I am very ashamed..."
Liu Chengman said to Zhang Xiu sincerely.
Compared with the previous time in Luoyang, when the red-faced and white-fanged guy ignored Zhang Ji's equipment, he was a completely different person.
Zhang Xiu was stunned when he heard this.
Ever since he received this task from his uncle, Zhang Xiu had been worried about meeting him at this time.
In his mind, after he came here, he would definitely encounter unbearable humiliation and torture.
After all, Liu Cheng doesn't seem to be a good person, and he doesn't have a very broad mind.
Even just recently, he still thought this way.
As a result, what happened now was completely different from what he thought!
Liu Cheng not only did not neglect and humiliate himself by not sending anyone to greet him and others, but instead came to greet him in person as soon as he was notified.
When I think about it, there is no humiliation such as words.
The other party's attitude was unexpectedly enthusiastic and his words were very nice.
In this public place, in front of the soldiers he led over, he gave himself enough face!
This was completely unexpected, and Zhang Xiu was unable to turn around for a while. With his hands held by Liu Cheng, he couldn't say anything and just froze in place.
He was in a daze, but Liu Cheng was not dazed at all, and still talked to Zhang Xiu very enthusiastically.
He said that he had already sent an order for the army cook to prepare a banquet, and after a while, he personally took care of Zhang Ji.
He also greeted the soldiers who followed Zhang Xiu very decently.
After such a period of buffering, Zhang Xiu's mind became much clearer.
He had already seen that Liu Cheng's attitude was truly sincere, and it was not like he said this deliberately to tease himself.
After realizing this, Zhang Xiu felt that many things that were blocked in his heart suddenly dissipated.
He used force in his hands to break free of Liu Cheng's hands, straightened his clothes and armor, and bowed deeply to Liu Cheng respectfully under the different gazes of the people around him.
"The boy was so arrogant that he bumped into the emperor's uncle. Please don't take offense to the emperor's uncle!"
Previously, Zhang Xiu felt that it would be more difficult for him to open his mouth and say such words than to kill him.
After all, when he was alone and locked in a tent before, he couldn't tell.
Not to mention in public, in front of Liu Cheng.
As a result, now, he said these words smoothly and his voice was not quiet.
Moreover, after saying these words, he was not so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in as he had imagined.
On the contrary, the whole person seemed relaxed.
After he said these words, there was no mocking sound from around him. Zhang Xiu was still Zhang Xiu, and the sky did not fall because of this!
He, Zhang Xiu, is no longer the Zhang Xiu he was before.
Of course, there is another important reason why this is the case, which is that at this time, Liu Cheng has already made great achievements in military affairs. He was officially appointed Zhendong Zhonglang General and is no longer the famous one he was at the beginning.
Pig-killing boy!
Moreover, Liu Cheng's enthusiastic yet respectful attitude is also an extremely important reason.
Otherwise, according to Zhang Xiu's character, it would be impossible for him to lower his head and say such words!
After Liu Cheng saw Zhang Xiu's reaction, his heart couldn't help but be filled with joy.
Of course it was not because in history, Cao Cao had some romantic affair with Zhang Xiu's beautiful aunt, and then directly prostituted the fierce general Dian Wei to death, plus his nephew and eldest son Cao Ang, which made Zhang Xiu very famous.
It's because Zhang Xiu is not alone at this time.
Standing behind him were Zhang Ji, the captain, and many of Zhang Ji's soldiers.
At this time, Zhang Xiu came to him and showed such an attitude. How could he not make Liu Chengzhi happy?
In addition, another reason is that through Zhang Xiu's reaction at this time, Liu Cheng proved something.
The thing is, as my abilities are demonstrated and my status continues to increase, I can already receive very good feedback when I show courtesy and enough respect to people who didn't like me very much before.
.
This is society’s affirmation of one’s status and abilities!
This shows that all the efforts I have made during this period have not been in vain, and I have not lived like a dog these days.
Liu Cheng, who looks young but is actually a seasoned person in terms of human sophistication, will certainly not let Zhang Xiu do such a thing by showing such an attitude towards him in public.
He immediately took two steps forward and hurriedly helped Zhang Xiu up, who was bowing to him.
"What did Youwei say?
When did anything unpleasant happen between us?
When have you ever hit me again?
Really speaking, I would like to express my gratitude to my uncle and nephew.
If it hadn't been for my uncle and nephew who lent me five hundred war horses, five hundred armors, bows, and slaves when I was extremely depressed, it would have been difficult for me to start a business!
This time at Sishui Pass, we have defeated the enemy soldiers in successive battles, and my uncle and nephew also have a share of the credit for it!"
Liu Cheng's words were very sincere.
When he used Niu Fu as a threat to blackmail and abandon many of Zhang Ji's war horses and weapons, things suddenly changed when he said this.
When it comes to his ability to reshape things that have already happened, he is no weaker than Niu Dazhonglang.
Of course, the timing of reshaping the story is also very important and requires attention to many things.
Just like now.
The story that had been processed by Liu Cheng was heard by Zhang Xiu, the person involved, and Zhang Xiu immediately felt warm in his heart, feeling that Uncle Liu Huang was really a man of love!
He immediately said: "When I came here this time, my uncle specifically told me that the same knife can have different effects when held in the hands of different people.
Some people can sweep through thousands of armies, but some people are too cowardly to swing their swords, and waste good things in vain.
My uncle said that the emperor's uncle was a rare general with both wisdom and courage. These war horses and weapons could play a greater role if they were left with the emperor's uncle.
So let me come and tell the emperor that these things are left here so that the emperor can use them to kill more enemies, make more achievements, and make greater contributions to the Grand Master..."
As Zhang Xiu said this, he took out a letter from his arms and solemnly handed it to Liu Cheng.
Sure enough, the difference between many things is that they have never happened and they have happened many times.
Just like Zhang Xiu at this time.
Ever since I surrendered to Liu Cheng once, I no longer have any psychological pressure at all when I start doing similar things again.
In the past, when he thought about it, even if he died, he would not say the words or show the attitude. At this time, he said it smoothly without any mental pressure.
Looks very skilled.
So much so that the soldiers following Zhang Xiu were stunned and dumbfounded for a moment.
Is this still the gun king that he and others know well, who usually has a straight back and refuses to give in to anyone?
Now that you are in front of Uncle Liu Huang, why do you become so willing to submit?
No longer as tall and tall as before...
Liu Cheng took Zhang Ji's letter from Zhang Xiu with both hands to show respect.
"What your uncle and nephew said praised me too highly. I know that this means that your uncle and nephew think highly of me and are looking after me..."
Liu Cheng's extremely sincere words came right out of his mouth.
After such an enthusiastic meeting with Zhang Xiu, he personally took many of Niu Fu's military doctors who came with Zhang Xiu to the Sishuiguan Field Hospital and told the person in charge of the hospital to make good arrangements.
Afterwards, Liu Chenggong personally took Zhang Xiu and others to the banquet.
After some operations, Zhang Xiu's chest couldn't help but become taller again, and she felt extra proud...
"By the way, when I get here, the Commander-in-Chief has something he wants the Young Commander to tell Uncle Liu Huang..."
Zhang Xiu suddenly remembered something and quickly said to Liu Cheng...
