After all, the wife of King Yi Tian was an experienced person. When she saw the two young ladies with their murderous expressions, she instantly understood that they must be angry and humiliated.
So, this considerate lady hurriedly said with a smile: "Haha, big brother, look how frail I am. I can eat well. It's a blessing to be able to eat."
"Some people hold high positions and ride fine horses, but in the end, they cannot eat or sleep. Is it interesting to be a human being at that level?"
This sentence was obviously meant to divert Zhu Li's attention and try to stop him from looking at the young lady like that.
Zhu Li was ignorant and easily fooled. The lady's words made him nod seriously. Then, when he looked at Wenlan and Yangguang, the look in his eyes changed from crazy admiration to envy.
This change made the two young ladies feel better psychologically. The eldest lady turned to look at them and gently comforted them, "Don't be offended, young Master Zhu Li. Hey, you might as well treat him as a child and don't blame him."
Zhu Li? Wenlan and Yangguang didn't know if they had heard the words of consolation from the eldest lady, but when the eldest lady mentioned this name, their eyes lit up immediately.
Then, their eyes shone with dazzling light as if they had seen gold ingots, and they stared at Zhu Li blankly.
It wasn't easy for them either. They had to sleep in the open air and travel thousands of miles south to Huichuan. Didn't they come here just for Zhu Li
Now that they heard the news about Zhu Li, they were naturally excited, but as they watched, the two young ladies' eyes were filled with doubts.
Although they are simple in nature, it does not mean that they are stupid; can a fool be able to cheat and live to this day
A fool is undoubtedly a world away from the General Zhu Li in their minds. Can a fool be a general
To them, this was obviously impossible.
I have to say that Yiji Grilled Skewers is indeed a unique dish in Huichuan. Whether it is the speed of grilling over high heat, or the craftsmanship of Yiji, the lady of the King of Grills, or the temperature of the grilling, they are all perfect.
As soon as the barbecue, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, was prepared, Zhu Li began to eat it voraciously; even Wenlan and Yangguang were no exception. The way they ate, those who didn't know them would worry that they might swallow their tongues into their stomachs.
"Your real name is Zhu Li." While eating, Wenlan suddenly raised her head, looked at Zhu Li in surprise and doubt, and asked puzzledly.
Zhu Li was concentrating on dealing with a chicken leg. Upon hearing this, he answered without even looking up: "Yes, Taoist Grandpa, Brother Jing Ming, and Sister Jie Chou all call me that."
Yangguang, who was standing next to him, buried his head behind a pile of deer elbow meat and muttered without raising his head: "Senior sister, you don't doubt that this fool is the general, do you?"
Wenlan was bewildered when she heard this. She seemed to not believe it herself and muttered, "Huichuan is not very big. There won't be two people named Zhu Li, right?"
"Senior sister, have you ever seen a fool become a general? If this Zhu Li is a general, I, your junior sister, will be hanged if I don't leave Huichuan Town." Yangguang raised his head, glanced at Zhu Li with disdain, and said with certainty.
From Zhu Li's current appearance, one can tell at a glance that he is a person with intellectual problems. Most people like this are born with this problem. Not to mention in ancient times, they are not uncommon even in later generations. That's why Yang Guang is so sure.
Yangguang's confidence seemed to relax Wenlan a lot, but she still looked at Zhu Li and said, "Hey, Zhu Li, you are really not a general."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Li raised his head in confusion, glanced at the two men in confusion, and asked curiously, "General, is he the kind of general who rides a big horse and wields a big sword?"
Wen Lan knew from such an answer that the person in front of her was probably not the Zhu Li they were looking for, so she nodded perfunctorily and responded, "Yes, that kind of general."
"Oh, beautiful lady, are you saying that I look like a general?" Zhu Li's expression was a little excited. He had the mentality of a child. He became excited when he heard others say that he looked like a high-ranking official or a powerful figure.
Seeing the other person's expression, Wenlan was completely discouraged. She muttered to herself that she was really stupid. This guy looked like a stupid guy. How could he be the person she was looking for
As soon as she thought of this, she rolled her eyes at Zhu Li and said impatiently, "Humph, even with your cowardly look, you can still look like a general. Don't belittle the word general."
Wenlan's tone seemed a bit harsh, which made Zhu Li very discouraged. He instantly became like a deflated ball, and he lost interest in everything.
Seeing Zhu Li's expression, Wen Lan felt that she couldn't bear to treat such a fool like this, so she quickly comforted him, "Fortunately, you are not a general. If you were a general, we would have arrested you and hung you on a tree."
"I'll also find a whip and whip your butt hard until you hand over all your money, and then I'll let you go."
Wen Lan's words actually aroused Zhu Li's interest. His eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "It's the general. Are they all going to be hung up?"
After all, she was trying to comfort someone. In order to enhance her persuasiveness, Wenlan immediately raised her head, looked at Zhu Li, nodded seriously, pointed at the sun, and said seriously: "If you don't believe me, ask her if we are here to arrest the general."
Yangguang, who was standing next to them, naturally overheard the conversation between the two. Before Zhu Li could ask, the young lady immediately said, "Senior sister is right, big guy. Generals nowadays are not good people. They oppress the people and act tyrannically. Moreover, they are all very rich. They got their money from the people."
"My senior sister and I are going to do justice and come to Huichuan to capture a general named Zhu Li. We will then hang him up and force him to hand over all his money. So, luckily you are not a general, otherwise, we would really arrest you."
"Oh, so the general is so bad. But, if you hang him up, will he give you money?" Zhu Li asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Of course you can." Wenlan raised her head again and said seriously, "In the past, in the palace, if we didn't listen, the master would hang us up and beat us severely with a whip, and then we would be obedient and do whatever he told us to do."
"So, next time you meet someone who is disobedient or bullies you, just find a rope, hang them up and beat them up. I guarantee that they will never dare to bully you again next time." Wenlan said to Zhu Li seriously.
"Senior sister is right. If someone hits you, scolds you, or lies to you, you should hang him up and beat him. That's for sure." Yangguang quickly agreed.
Zhu Li heard this and kept muttering, "If someone wants to hit me, scold me, or lie to me, I'll have to find a rope, hang him up and beat him up. Yes, someone wants to hit me..."
He muttered this for two or three times, and finally remembered it. At this time, he raised his head and looked at Wenlan and Yangguang, and said gratefully: "Thank you, ladies. I remember it."
Upon hearing this, Wenlan and Yangguang looked at each other and burst out laughing. It was obvious that they felt that teaching a fool to beat people was also a happy thing.
Wenlan and Yangguang ate very quickly, but Zhu Li was not slow either. The two of them chattered non-stop. When they both burped comfortably, Zhu Li had already stood up.
He looked at the two ladies with a smile and said, "Ladies, I'm done eating and will be going back soon. Goodbye."
When these words were spoken, the two girls were startled and thought to themselves, "Oh no! They were so busy amusing the fool that they forgot to run away."
Seeing Zhu Li standing up, Jing Ming, Zhou Ran and others also came over. At this time, if Wen Lan and Yang Guang wanted to escape again, it was obviously too late.
As the host, King Yi Tian also came forward at this time. Jing Ming happily paid for Zhu Li's meal, while Zhou Ran, Qi Miaoge and others immediately surrounded Zhu Li and walked out of the alley.
Wenlan and Yangguang were dumbfounded because after King Yi Tian received Jing Ming's money, he walked towards them.
In a hurry, Wenlan suddenly turned around and looked at Zhu Li and his group, and shouted to Zhu Li: "Hey, big guy, help us, we, our sisters, forgot to bring money, please help pay for the meal."
Wenlan's shout startled Yangguang. At this time, the young lady also came to her senses and quickly followed Wenlan to shout to Zhu Li, "Yes, big guy, help us. We have just taught you a lot of things. You can't just stand by and watch someone die."
Zhu Li had a very good feeling towards these two little girls and stopped immediately when he heard their calls.
He originally wanted to find Jing Ming and ask him to pay for the two young ladies, but Jing Ming fell behind because he had to pay for his meal, and the person following behind him was Zhou Ran, so Zhu Li looked at Zhou Ran and asked curiously: "Xiao Gulu, what does Jianghu help you in an emergency mean?"
Zhou Ran seemed to be in a bad mood today, not as lively as usual. He knew why Zhu Li asked this question. He followed the voice and looked at Wen Lan and Yang Guang. He rolled his eyes fiercely, then slowly turned around and said to Zhu Li seriously: "My dear husband, why don't we pay attention to those two guys, okay? They are just swindlers. Let's go back quickly."
Zhu Li seemed to be getting stubborn, and stood still, saying seriously: "Xiao Gulu, you still haven't told me what Jianghu rescue means."
As soon as Zhou Ran saw Zhu Li's face, he knew that the general was serious. He saw his two small eyes rolling around, and he immediately said, "My dear, help me, those two people are trying to deceive you. They want you to pay for their meal. There is no such good thing in the world. They are obviously trying to deceive you, my dear."
Zhu Li was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly thought of Wen Lan and Yang Guang, and what they had just said to him. He immediately looked at Zhou Ran with a serious face and said seriously: "You lied to me, are you bullying me?"
Zhou Ran was stunned when he heard this. He obviously did not expect that Zhu Li would ask such a profound question today.
So, she nodded in disbelief and said, "My dear, you are right. They lied to you and bullied you, so we should ignore them and go back as soon as possible."
But when Zhu Li heard Zhou Ran's affirmation, he immediately became angry and ordered Zhou Ran very seriously: "Xiao Gulu, go find a rope. If they dare to bully me, I will hang them up and beat them up."
"By the way, find another whip." He looked at Zhou Ran with a serious look, which frightened Zhou Ran so much that he almost thought that the general was completely healed.
