Hearing Cheng Chu's reluctant call for eldest brother, Du He put his hands to his ears and pretended not to hear: "What are you talking about, please speak louder!"
Cheng Chumo muttered: "Brother!"
The second generation of military generals represented by Cheng Chumo have always been at odds with the second generation of civil servants like Du He, and they are constantly competing with each other, trying to compete in everything.
Now it's great, I've become someone else's little brother.
Du He said dissatisfiedly: "Cheng Chumo, you haven't eaten, haven't you? Just like you girls, speak louder."
Cheng Chumo raised his head, with tears of humiliation in his eyes, and roared loudly: "Brother, from today on, you are my eldest brother. I, Cheng Chumo, am willing to admit defeat!"
Only then was Du He satisfied. He patted Cheng Chumo on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so aggrieved. There are so many people who want to recognize me as their eldest brother. You should feel lucky to be my little brother."
Qin Huaiyu on the side was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.
Is this still the legendary Duhe?
This guy actually convinced Cheng Chumo, who has always been fearless, with just a few words?
What kind of skill is this?
Then, Qin Huaiyu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Du He, in fact, today Chu Mo and I were dragged by my father and Uncle Cheng to deliver wood to you. Speaking of which, we are all friends. Look at this
It’s better to forget about it!”
Well, before Du He said anything, Cheng Chumo quit.
Cheng Chumo said loudly: "Brother Qin, I, Cheng Chumo, am a man of dignity. I stand upright. If I lose, I lose. I am willing to admit defeat."
Du He looked at Cheng Chumo and said with a smile: "I really like your irritable character and personality more and more. Since we are all brothers, let's smoke a cigarette first! The matter of wood, to me, is really
It’s a help in times of need!”
With that said, Du He took out his collection of Chinese cigarettes and gave one to each of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.
Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo both looked confused.
"What is this?" Cheng Chumo asked curiously, not having time to recall his humiliation.
Du He took out the lighter, lit it with a click, and introduced with a smile: "This is a cigarette. Do you smoke it? If not, give it back to me!"
The two shook their heads hurriedly, then quickly followed Du He's example, took out the fire sticks, lit them, and started smoking.
"Ah, this cigarette is so amazing. I was sleepy just now. Why am I not sleepy anymore after taking a few puffs?" Cheng Chumo exclaimed.
Qin Huaiyu also widened his eyes and said: "Cigarette, this name is really just right, so awesome. Du He, where did you get this thing? Why have I lived for more than ten years and never heard of our big name?
Does Tang still have such good things?"
Du He blew out a smoke ring and said pretentiously: "Don't say it!"
If Du He didn't say anything, there was nothing the two of them could do.
After smoking a cigarette, the three of them became familiar with each other, especially Cheng Chumo. After smoking, his hostility towards Du He actually weakened a lot, and he was no longer so unnatural when he called him eldest brother.
Then, Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo asked their servants to transport all the wood they brought to Datang Furniture Factory.
These wood materials, even if Du He asked Zhang Du and others to produce revolving wooden chairs day and night, would be enough for almost two months.
Just the carriages and horses transporting wood are terrifying.
Du He couldn't help feeling that Lao Cheng and Lao Qin were relatively loyal, generous and unambiguous in their actions.
It took quite a while until dark before all the wood was properly placed.
Du He explained to Zhang Du and others, and was about to arrange for Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo to have an authentic hot pot and mutton meal at his house, when he saw the door was suddenly knocked open and a group of people rushed in.
These people were all wearing black shorts and carrying swords at their waists. They came up and surrounded Du He.
Seeing this, Lu Bu suddenly stepped forward, stood in front of Du He, and looked at these people coldly.
The leader was a man in his thirties, wearing a black hat. He pulled out his sword, pointed it at Du He, and shouted: "Get Du He! We have been ordered to capture Du He. The rest of the gang are waiting.
All spread out."
Then, several men in black nearby drew their swords and rushed towards Du He.
Lu Bu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and with a flash of his body, he rushed forward and knocked the four men in black to the ground. The remaining three men in black were cowering and helpless.
Dare to step forward again.
The leading man looked horrified.
You know, those who came to capture Du He today were all top-notch masters, but they were captured by this man of unknown origin just after they met him?
He hurriedly took out the gold medal from his waist and said loudly: "We have been ordered to arrest Du He. Anyone who dares to resist the order will be arrested and brought to justice."
Lu Bu cursed: "Fuck you for resisting the imperial decree! Master, follow me, let's fight our way out of Chang'an!"
Everyone in the yard was stunned together.
This guy is so domineering.
Du He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said hurriedly: "Lu Bu, stop it, it's okay. Your Majesty is just inviting you to tea. Let's just go."
Lu Bu hurriedly retreated.
The guy holding the gold medal was relieved. He was just pretending to be powerful. If the big guy was really disobedient, there was nothing he could do.
Du He stepped forward and asked, "I've met you before, but why have I never seen you in the palace?"
The man did not dare to entrust him, so he said: "Du He, I am a member of the secret guard. You can call me Zhang San. Your Majesty has ordered you to come to the palace to ask questions. Please don't embarrass us."
Zhang San, it was a pseudonym as soon as I heard it.
Du He secretly thought, no wonder, every move I make is controlled by Li Er. It turns out that Li Er has secretly raised a group of people, secret guards, isn't this an intelligence agency hidden in the dark?
It has functions such as assassination.
"It turns out to be General Zhang. It's easy to tell. His Majesty happened to have locked me up in his mansion for many days. I'm really bored. I'm going to the palace today to relax and lead the way!"
With that said, Du He and Qin Huaiyu said hello silently and walked out.
Lu Bu also followed.
Zhang San pointed at Lu Bu and said with some fear: "This person cannot be followed!"
Du He flicked his sleeves: "This person is my close guard. If he can't follow me, I won't go. If you have the guts, tie me up."
When Zhang San and others heard this, they broke into cold sweat.
The key is that they are no match for Lu Bu!
Helpless, Zhang San could only nod.
Afterwards, the group left Datang Furniture Factory.
On the way to the palace, Du He understood the whole story.
It turned out that after Li Er learned that Du He had violated his two most beloved daughters, he immediately became furious in the Taiji Palace and even wanted to send Du He to southern Fujian and never return to Chang'an.
Immediately, Li Er ordered the secret guards to bring Du He back to the palace for questioning.
Zhang San kindly reminded Du He that Li Er was in anger, and he was afraid that even the Duke of Lai would suffer disaster this time.
