With such a wasteful attitude, aren't Gu Yanlang and Liu Hanhong afraid of alienating their civil and military officials
Any wise subordinate would never choose to follow such a master, right
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they robbed a large pile of silver coins. Zhu Li led them to a secluded place and began to think secretly.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. My aunt hasn't come yet, and you, these immoral bastards, have eaten up most of the good food. Are you worthy of my growling stomach?"
"Yes, we sisters traveled all the way to Chang'an, and finally got a free meal, but in the end we could only eat leftovers. Do you have any conscience?"
"Hey, you don't have eyes? Can't you see that we sisters are here to show us the favor? Why don't you quickly offer us the bear paws and bird's nests?"
Just as Zhu Li nodded and pondered, the bustling crowd on the street, which was crowded between two stalls, was suddenly and rudely separated by two little girls who came in a hurry.
Then, two charming and wild sounds like yellow orioles singing out of a valley were heard.
Following the sound, Zhu Li looked up.
In the bustling crowd, two little girls who were more beautiful than flowers and extremely naive, completely ignored their maid's hair and were pushed to the ground. They squeezed towards Liu Hanhong's stall as if they were risking their lives.
As soon as I saw those two little faces who forgot where they were when they saw food, weren’t they Wenlan and Yangguang
Apart from these two girls, Zhu Li had never seen such a greedy face in his two lifetimes.
"Hey, what's going on? Hurry up, where are the bear paws and bird's nests?" Wen Lan's eyes were glowing green, she held up her little head, veins bulged on her beautiful curved neck, and she looked anxious. She shouted at Liu Hanhong's men who were delivering the delicious food.
"Yes, where are my bear paws and bird's nests? Bring them all to me. I will certainly honor you. I will eat as much as you bring."
"Oh, by the way, can you pack it up?" Yangguang's eyes also flashed, and he waved his little fists in an unruly manner, shouting with spit flying.
When Zhu Li saw the two of them, his heart sank and he immediately looked behind the two little girls; according to his thought, since Wenlan and Yangguang were here, Yuchi Jin should be not far away.
However, to his disappointment, after searching for a while, he did not see the familiar figure of the woman.
Just when Zhu Li was feeling extremely lost, a slim and beautiful woman was standing by the window on the second floor of a restaurant not far away. She was wearing silver armor and had a haggard face. She was staring at the lost Zhu Li.
"You and her even have a child, why are you still obsessed with me?" The woman standing here was Yuchi Jin. Zhu Li's hurried glance behind Wenlan and Yangguang did not escape her eyes.
With her intelligence, she naturally knew what Zhu Li was looking for, and also knew why the other party was so disappointed. She felt sweet in her heart, but also very indignant.
Behind Yuchi Jin stood two burly men, one holding two axes and the other holding two hammers. They were the brothers Xie Tian and Xie Di who had followed Zhao Zilong and stationed in Fenzhou for several years.
Behind Xie Tian and Xie Di, there stood two sturdy generals.
Among them, one was eight feet tall and as strong as a lion, with long eyebrows, a high nose and a wide mouth, double pupils in his eyes, as fierce as a ghost, holding a Spring and Autumn sword in his hand, very intimidating.
This person was none other than Yu Juluo who had just surrendered to Youzhou. Whether in the official history or in the interpretation, Yu Juluo had a fierce face with double pupils. It was precisely because of his appearance, with double pupils that reflected the sun and the moon, that he was framed by the villain Liang Jingzhen and beheaded in the market by Yang Guang.
The man on Yu Juluo's right is equally burly and strong. He is seven feet tall, handsome, mighty, and extraordinary. He is also a famous general who has just joined Youzhou. He is Shi Wansui.
According to historical records, Shi Wansui was good at riding and shooting, and was well versed in military books. He was always the first to climb the hill in every battle. He was an extraordinary general who was both civil and military.
As the Jiedushi of Lulong, Yuchi Jin was also the most capable supporter of Prince Shou Li Jie. Naturally, he had to bring powerful generals with him to support him.
The Xie brothers are fierce, but they are not strong enough. Their strength is at most similar to Wenlan and Yangguang.
Wenlan and Yangguang, the two girls, are still young and cannot help with things; and Qian Muran, who was originally favored by Yuchi Jin, resolutely left her when she left Shuozhou and turned to the General's Mansion.
In desperation, Yuchi Jin had to withdraw Yu Juluo and Shi Wansui and come to Chang'an together.
These two were both absolute masters. From Yuchi Jin's perspective, she also believed that the abilities they had demonstrated were enough to handle any possible fighting situations that might arise.
"What, you, you, you, how could you do this, why are they gone as soon as we arrived, what do you mean, do you look down on me?" Suddenly, an even sharper scream was heard on the street.
"Yes, yes, we honored you by coming here to eat. That's to give face to your manager. You actually said it's gone. Aren't you embarrassing your sister, the manager?" Another angry voice followed.
Such a clear and urgent voice was naturally shouted by Wenlan and Yangguang.
Hearing the voice, Yuchi Jin finally woke up from his lost mood and looked towards Liu Hanhong's stall.
Bear paws and bird's nests are not common ingredients. Even though Liu Hanhong raised the price of the ingredients again and again, he failed to purchase more of them.
Just when Wenlan and Yangguang, the two greedy little girls, finally squeezed to the front of the stall, the food cooked by the stall was all given away.
This made the two girls so angry that their faces turned red and their beautiful eyes widened, looking like little kids in kindergarten who were embarrassed and angry when their lollipops were snatched away.
"I'm sorry, ladies, we're short of ingredients. I'll make it for you as soon as we have them, okay?" The two little foodies got angry and forced Liu Hanhong's subordinates to apologize.
... ...
Before one wave subsides, another wave rises.
Wenlan and Yangguang, after great effort, finally squeezed to the stall, but were unable to eat bear paws and bird's nests, so they were making a scene at Liu Hanhong's stall.
At this moment, on the right side of the street, a tall man stood on the glittering silver platform, pointing at the sixteen beauties, and shouted angrily: "I, Old Zhou, haven't arrived yet, and you're already throwing money around. What do you mean? Do you look down on me, Old Zhou?"
"Can't you wait until Old Zhou comes before sprinkling it?"
"Don't you know that I, Old Zhou, am short of money?"
... ...
Following the sound, Zhu Li and Yuchi Jin, although standing in different places, looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
I saw a big man with a long sword on his waist, wearing chain mail, a pair of small, red eyes, and a look of anxiety on his face, shouting at the sixteen beauties.
Zhu Li knew the big man looked familiar at first sight. Just by looking at his pair of small, rat-shit eyes, he immediately confirmed that the man must be Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran's current changes are huge, almost earth-shaking.
Except for the eyes, his whole body has grown by more than 30 centimeters from less than 1.5 meters in the past to about 1.8 meters now.
His sturdy and upright figure, with a piece of strange red silk that came from nowhere and draped over his shoulders, made him look heroic and energetic.
Girls really change a lot as they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful; but this boy, even at the age of 20, is still taking his time.
Who would have thought that this guy was the short and weak guy from the past.
Behind Zhou Ran, below the silver stage, and close to the stage, stood a mighty general with phoenix eyes, long brows, a red face and a beautiful beard.
The other party stood with his hands behind his back, and his face became even redder when he saw Zhou Ran, who got angry when he saw the money.
He must be extremely ashamed. Yes, this person is Guan Yu.
Guan Yu came, and beside him were several old acquaintances.
The three pretty and charming figures were naturally Cha Shuchen, Yang Liuye, and Yu Cuiwei; as for the two tall and strong figures, they were none other than Li Tianfu and Zhe Silun.
There were seven Yaozhou officials in total, and among them were three couples, which was really ridiculous.
The only one who did not bring his partner was Zhe Silun.
This general, who was originally stationed in Huichuan and confronting Wang Jian, was transferred to Guan Yu's side.
Now, the big and small Brahman countries to the west of Yaozhou have surrendered to Yaozhou; Guan Yu immediately transferred Han Xun to Huichuan to confront Wang Jian.
Zhe Silun, who was originally stationed in Huichuan, followed Guan Yu to Chang'an.
Zhu Li was just about to ask someone to greet Guan Yu and the others when a solemn voice rang out, "Greetings, General. After not seeing you for so many years, you have become even more elegant and graceful. This makes me very happy."
Hearing the voice, Zhu Li turned around and saw a majestic general in a golden helmet and black armor, bowing in front of him; the words just now came from this person.
This man is vigorous and strong, yet he has an air of confidence and elegance. Isn't he Han Zhi, the governor of Xuzhou
Zhu Li left Xuzhou in the third year of Zhonghe, and now it is the fourth year of Guangqi. So the two have not seen each other for five years. Han Zhi, who is in charge of a place, has long possessed the awe-inspiring aura of a high official.
"General Manager Han, you are too polite. You have been guarding Xuzhou and helping the people live and work in peace and contentment. You have made great contributions and I really admire you." Zhu Li said politely.
To Han Zhi, these words were obviously Zhu Li's affirmation of his achievements over the years; a smile of self-satisfaction emerged on his face involuntarily.
Ever since Han Zhi stabilized Xuzhou and conquered Yicheng Jiedushi Wang Jingwu and his son, Xuzhou has been in a state of recuperation.
Rest and recuperation does not mean that Han Zhi has no achievements. In the confrontation between resisting Zhu Quanzhong in the west, resisting Yang Xingmi in the south, and defending against Zhu Xi brothers in the north, Xuzhou stood firmly in the east of the Tang Dynasty like a rock that could not be smashed or crushed.
Han Zhi made great contributions to the fact that the people in the area east of Xuzhou were able to live a peaceful and stable life.
This time, the Xuzhou generals who followed Han Zhi to the capital in the west included three unfamiliar generals, in addition to Wang Jingwu and Wang Shifan, father and son.
Among them, a general wearing a dragon helmet, silver dragon armor, and holding a moon-gazing spear, caught Zhu Li's attention. Seeing this man, the Classic of Mountains and Seas in Zhu Li's mind burst out again.
The grand old voice reminded him in a hoarse and clear voice: "Long Qie, the living body of the heroic spirit Long Qie; Long Qie, during the Chu-Han period, was the Grand Marshal of the State of Chu and the greatest general under Xiang Yu; the greatest general of the opposite sex in Western Chu; chivalrous and brave, loyal and devoted, modest and prudent, studious and courageous, with an unyielding heroic spirit, who is now in this world to help the people. His heroic spirit has returned to the mountains and seas."
When Zhu Li looked at Long Qie, Long Qie also stared at Zhu Li intently. In his eyes, when he saw Zhu Li, it was as if he saw Xiang Yu, whom he followed in his previous life. He wished he could immediately join the other's army.
However, his own steward was right beside him, and influenced by the idea that a loyal minister should not serve two masters, he forcibly suppressed the impulse and then lowered his head with great regret.
However, from the way he occasionally raised his head and looked at Zhu Li, it could be seen that he seemed very unwilling.
It's a pity that they met too late. If he had met Zhu Li earlier, he would never have brought his two brothers to join Han Zhi.
This person turned out to be Long Ju. Han Zhi was really awesome. Zhu Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
You know, in real history, Long Ju died at the hands of Han Xin. The two people who lived again got together again, and Han Zhi even recruited Long Ju to be his younger brother. It was really weird.
If Long Ju knew that the Han Zhi he was loyal to was actually Han Xin, I wonder what he would think.
Behind Long Qie, there were two burly men. When Zhu Li looked at them, the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his mind roared again, and the old and magnificent voice of reminders continued vigorously.
When Zhu Li looked at a man who looked as majestic as a demon, the Classic of Mountains and Seas reminded him: "Zhongli Mei, the reincarnation of the heroic spirit Zhongli Mei; Zhongli Mei was a general of the State of Chu during the Chu-Han period and one of the four great generals under Xiang Yu; he was brave and good at fighting, loyal and courageous, fierce and fierce, with outstanding insights, and an unyielding heroic spirit. He came to the world to help the people, and his heroic spirit returned to the mountains and seas."
Another heroic soul, and moreover, he is Zhongli Mei, one of the four great generals under the command of Overlord Xiang Yu. In his previous life, he was also forced to death by Han Xin, and now he is also serving under Han Xin.
Zhu Li couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of the world. Nothing is impossible, except things you can't imagine.
The last person has an even more ferocious face, like a tiger, a bloodthirsty tiger that chooses its prey. When seeing this person, the Classic of Mountains and Seas continues to remind: "Ji Bu, the reincarnation of the heroic spirit Ji Bu; Ji Bu, one of the four great generals under the command of Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu during the Chu-Han period; brave and good at fighting, loyal and devoted, able to endure humiliation and keep his promises, with an unyielding heroic spirit, who is now in this world to help the people. His heroic spirit has returned to the mountains and seas."
Wow, another great general of the State of Chu, serving under Han Zhi. No wonder Han Zhi was able to guard Xuzhou so firmly despite being surrounded by enemies. With just these three people, it would not be easy for Zhu Quanzhong or Yang Xingmi to take over Xuzhou.
Long Ju, Zhongli Mei and Ji Bu were all powerful generals. These three people made great contributions to Xiang Yu's victory over Liu Bang several times.
The reincarnations of the three heroic souls looked at Zhu Li with eyes like a left-behind baby looking at his father who has returned from afar, longing and yearning, yet too timid to move forward.
In fact, they don't need to do so at all. Han Zhi is Zhu Li's man. In a sense, their loyalty to Han Zhi is the same as their loyalty to Zhu Li.
However, as everyone was now on the street, Han Zhi naturally could not pay his respects to Zhu Li as a subordinate; otherwise, the relationship between the two would be exposed, attracting others' covetousness.
