"Oh." Shi Wuduan nodded and said, "Because I came up with the idea."
"Why?" Meng Zhongyong looked at him rather puzzled, and asked, "Why did you come up with such a bad idea?"
Without any pressure, Shi stuffed a dozen thick paper money into the brazier, the fire was quickly extinguished, and a small ball of flames sprang up from his fingertips, as if he was not afraid of being burned, just like his fingers The head is a piece of fire.
Every time Meng Zhongyong sees this scene, he finds it amazing. He comes from a wealthy family and is born in a nursing home. He is born with strength and strength. He is a martial arts prodigy, and he is quite good at fighting. It is rarer than the big pearls on the head of the empress dowager, and it is rare for common people to see one or two in their entire lives. So he has always admired Shi Wudu's little tricks, thinking that he is more capable than the best jugglers.
"Isn't it hot?" Meng Zhongyong touched it with his finger fearlessly, and immediately retracted his hand because of the burn, "Oh, it's really hot!"
With flickering flames in Shi Wuduan's eyes, he said in a low voice: "There's nothing we can do about it. Big brother seems to have a lot of people, but a large part of them are just working for food. We have no business and no one to give us money." Pay taxes, and the harvest has been bad year after year, so you can’t go to the streets to rob roads, right? Without money and food, how can you feed these people?”
"Oh!" Meng Zhongyong suddenly realized, "I see, we are here for dinner with the surname Cui!"
"Ah..." Shi Wudu thought for a while, "Yes, you can also say that."
After he finished speaking, the paper was burned out, so he stood up, wrapped his clothes, felt a coolness as if his clothes had been blown through, and said: "I'm going back to the room, don't forget to wash bowl."
Meng Zhongyong looked at his appearance, as if he was suddenly blessed, pressed his head with his palm like a cattail leaf fan, patted it lightly, and said in a low voice: "You are young, don't always think about it. It's so heavy, it's not easy to feed."
He didn't come up with these words, he heard his eldest brother Gu Huaiyang and third brother Lu Yunzhou say, Meng Zhongyong actually can't see that this young man who is benevolent, righteous and moral, has a bad stomach and is very narcissistic, there is something "heavy in his mind" "—Except for planning and planning when grabbing meat at the dinner table, and being sure and ruthless.
Ke Shi looked at the brazier covered with ashes for no reason, and the appearance of standing up without hesitation suddenly reminded him of what Gu Huaiyang had said.
Shi Wuduan originally planned to stay up all night, but felt that it was a bit embarrassing to be met by this stupid big man, so he guessed that Senior Jiang Hua could be regarded as a "rich family" down there, so he ended the game hastily, and suddenly heard such a sentence, his footsteps stopped Paused, and then responded as if perfunctory, and gently opened the wooden door, the door hinge made a small "squeak" sound, and then there was no more movement.
Gu Huaiyang has a few sworn brothers. He considers himself the eldest brother, the second brother is called Qu Feng, who died in battle, and the third Lu Yunzhou was originally a man in the rivers and lakes. Except for a few close brothers, he doesn't talk much to others on weekdays. A three-year-old daughter, Lu Lu, doesn't often take action, but it is said that she is very strong in martial arts, she is a great talent, there are other names in the world, but Lu Yunzhou is not willing to be mentioned, and everyone will not mention it.
The fourth child is the widow of a bodyguard, her maiden name is Li Rushuang, everyone calls her Li Siniang, she is handsome, and usually speaks nicely to others, but she is a heroine at heart, with two long whips in her hands, As long as there are eyes, no one dares to provoke her.
The fifth child is this Meng Zhongyong.
Shi Wuduan can barely be considered a little six—even though these heroes sometimes tend to treat this little brother as a son.
"King of Anqing" Cui Hu is actually not that stupid, at least he saw that this group of people formed a small group of their own, and they don't obey the rules on weekdays. When Gu Huaiyang brought people to join him, Cui Hu was actually still He was a little bit flustered, feeling that his territory had expanded and his subordinates had increased, but Zhang, his dog-headed military adviser, reminded him—to be careful about keeping tigers infested.
Kidnapper Zhang used to be an accountant, with a goatee, and his appearance and appearance, it seemed that he was born to serve as a dog-headed military advisor for the rebels.
Kidnap Zhang believes that Gu Huaiyang is capable of fighting and reading, and is also very good at making friends with bandits. He is a well-educated hooligan. A big tree is good for shade. I'm afraid this monkey enjoying the coolness is not small in ambition. In the future, if the king of Anqing declines, it will jump up to replace him.
Cui Hu always thought that the kidnapper Zhang was the smartest person in the world, and he believed in his words, so he decided to find a way to divide Gu Huaiyang's troops. According to his rules, the men and horses were broken up and organized in their own team.
Gu Huaiyang agreed very happily, and the next day, he got a bunch of red handkerchiefs from somewhere, and distributed one to each of the former brothers, saying that it was a memory, so this group of "red scarf soldiers" entered Cui Hu The establishment is like throwing a few grains of rice into a pile of sand. Not to mention the fact that the Chu River and Han borders are very clear, Cui Hu found out with a headache that within a few days, there were many incidents between the Red Turban Army and the local army. In the fight incident, a group of old men quarrel like bald ducks in the vegetable market, chirping and twittering so that people's head hurts.
Cui Hu found that the time he spent listening to ditties and fooling around with his concubine was greatly reduced, and often the conflicts between the two parties were large-scale, as if someone was deliberately causing trouble, and the cause was probably It's so confusing that people can't find out why. After King Anqing came out of his soft fragrant Wenyu with his pants up several times and in desperation, and heard a group of five big and three rough and sweaty men swearing at each other, it was the first time. Once, I thought Kidnap Zhang's idea was very bad.
The most frightening thing is not the conflict, but some people who did not wear the red scarf, but through the instigation of "certain" people with ulterior motives, they even wear the red scarf. After two months, something even weirder happened. The women in the city didn't know why they were so crazy, but they also started to imitate Li Siniang's appearance, tied red silk scarves around their necks, and followed suit. , all of them are like a bunch of red lanterns of different heights, fat and thin, which is truly spectacular.
Isn't this messing around? Cui Hu discussed with the kidnapper Zhang for a long time, and felt that Gu Huaiyang and his party were really a big trouble, and they had to be taken away.
Just after they were troubled for two or three months, an opportunity came—less than 30 miles away from Anqing, there was a small mountain called Biqiu Mountain, and there was also a mountain city called Guji under Biqiu Mountain, and there were also people in Guji City. A Guji king.
Guji and Anqing both belong to Haining County. Cui Hu thinks that Haining County, a place where you can hit your heels with a fart, has two "princes" at the moment. They get it out.
He ordered Gu Huaiyang to take his "Red Turban Army" to "discuss rebellion and suppress bandits".
Cui Hu invited Gu Huaiyang to his home, accompanied by his kidnapper Zhang, and told Gu Huaiyang about it when he was full of wine and food. Gu Huaiyang only had Shi Wuduan by his side—Lu Yunzhou was impatient to talk to irrelevant people, Li Siniang was a woman after all, and she couldn't afford to sacrifice her value to eat with Cui, and Meng Zhongyong's brain was always slow when he met the kidnapper Zhang.
Gu Huaiyang's mouth twitched a little when he heard Prince Cui's righteous indignation about the traitor. He felt that Prince Cui's face could no longer be described as "thick", but that it needed to be described as "durable and invulnerable".
Hearing what Prince Cui said, it seems that rebellion should be done on a first-come, first-served basis, and it is axiomatic that those who jump in line without reason will be punished by other rebels as "rebels".
He glanced at Shi Wuduan, and found that Shi Wuduan was holding a chicken leg, gnawing on it with great concentration, his hands were covered with oil, and he was completely motionless.
Fortunately, Brother Gu's face was no weaker than Prince Cui's, so he looked eager to try and asked, "Look, prince, how should we attack this traitor?"
Prince Cui coughed lightly, and the kidnapper Zhang immediately picked up, winked and said: "Guji's time as a traitor is still short, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Prince Nian is just a fledgling in General Gu. I'm afraid some brothers are young and arrogant. This is an excuse. This opportunity gives General Gu a military merit."
Gu Huaiyang hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you, my lord, for cultivating it."
Prince Cui seemed to have really given him a great favor, and said: "The Guji City is just a tiny place, and taking it is like picking something out of a bag, so don't worry about Huaiyang. I think your three thousand red scarves are well-trained. Su Zhiren, it only takes one day and one night to go from Anqing to Guji. You bring half of your men, thirty or fifty chariots, and the king will give you a hundred good war horses, and ask the soldiers to bring ten horses. Didn’t the dry food from the sky save food and grass as well, just go and return quickly.”
In Guji Mountain City, there are only small plank roads under the checkpoint, and the terrain is high, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Gu Huaiyang thought, okay old rabbit, not only are you going to drive us to die, but you also want to detain half of my men and horses, and wait for the dragons to be alone when there is no leader? Not afraid of choking to death.
Shi Wudu gave a "snap" and threw the cleanly gnawed chicken bones on the plate. He didn't show any face to Prince Cui. He stood up and stretched out his hand to get another chicken leg, and quickly solved it like a starved ghost reincarnated.
Kidnap Zhang saw a pile of chicken bones piled up on his plate, and he couldn't hide his contempt on his face, so he pushed the plate in front of Shi Wuduan, and said, "Little hero Shi likes to eat this, just eat more , there are so many palaces, outside of our Anqing Palace, you can’t eat such authentic chicken legs.”
Shi Wuduan nodded and said, "What Junshi Zhang said is absolutely true."
Gu Huaiyang said: "Ashamed, ashamed."
Before Prince Cui and Kidnap Zhang could reply, Shi Wuduan waved the chicken legs with half of the bones exposed, and said slowly: "Brother, I think we should eat more, you don't have the strategizing ability like the prince, I see you You lose the battle."
The kidnapper's expression changed, he grabbed his goatee, and reluctantly said: "How do you say you are frustrated?"
Gu Huaiyang and Xi Ni said: "He is young and ignorant, and his words are useless, the prince's military adviser forgive me, forgive me."
Shi Wuduan said again: "Oh, brother, others don't know, I don't know you, you will lose in a battle, and you will escape the fastest. I think we will take 1,500 people to Guji, that is to send people to Guji King To send the horses... Oh, yes, there are still nine days of dry food."
Gu Huaiyang lowered his head, and said again: "Ashamed, ashamed."
Shi Wuduan put a chopstick of fish meat into his bowl, and said sadly: "Brother, you should eat more."
Cui Hu saw that these two people seemed to be eating a beheaded meal, and his heart was also moved, thinking, what if this surnamed Gu is dissatisfied, turns his back on the battle, and takes people to join the rebels
He and Kidnap Zhang looked at each other, and Kidnap Zhang immediately received the prince's doubts, so he said, "Ah...haha, General Gu is too humble. If General Gu is really worried, he can actually bring another thousand people with him." , in addition to the horses you brought, the prince will give you another fifty horses, how about it?"
Shi Wuduan picked another chopstick egg for Gu Huaiyang, and sighed, "Brother, eat more of this."
The kidnapper Zhang made his eyelids twitch with anger, so Prince Cui coughed lightly, and said, "Mr. How about it?"
Shi Wuduan threw down another chicken bone that looked like a weasel gnawed out, wiped his hand, patted his stomach, and said with a sad face: "I can't eat any more, my lord takes pity on me, pack the rest and take it home with me." ? There are so many old, weak and remnant soldiers in our Red Scarf Army, and they will starve before the end of the battle, how pitiful it is.”
Cui Hu felt a cramp in his heart, liver and lungs, and felt that Shi Wuduan was really nothing.
