"The shadows fall in the sky, the spring bananas move, and the Qi Luo scatters. The heart of spring is only locked between the eyebrows." On the uninhabited grassland, there was a sound of babbling.
Wu Gen sat on the horse, sipping wine and humming a ditty. According to the results of the previous meeting in the hall, Wu Gen rushed to Hanlu City with his people after receiving Lu Lie's invitation.
In addition to Zhuo Ke, Ha Ying, and Li Qi, this trip also brought Niu Chao, who was always annoying. Yes, Niu Chao was pushed into Lingyun's Eight Cavalry by Wu Gen, taking Zhang Wuyang's place.
As the Fearless Army gradually expanded and more officers were needed, Wu Gen promoted a large number of people to the army, and Zhang Wuyang was one of them.
After many wars, Wu Gen also discovered that Zhang Wuyang was quite capable of commanding an army and was meticulous in his actions. He was also a talented general, so Wu Gen deliberately sent him down for training and prepared to train him to become the second Xue Xin.
As for bringing Niu Chao with him this time, there is really nothing he can do. This boy joined the Eight Riders of Lingyun. He was arrogant all day long, wandering around the various camps in the army. When he had nothing to do, he would go to Wu Gen to steal some things.
This time, Wu Gencai dragged him over because he was worried that he would harm all his wine reserves. It would be better to harm Lu Lie than harm himself.
And Li Qi, as a Que Shu man, was definitely not liked by Lu Lie. Wu Gen also brought him along just to make Lu Lie disgusted.
"Disgusting." Just as he was singing happily, a low murmur came from behind. Wu Gen's face tightened, and he suddenly turned to look at Niu Chao,
"Is your skin itchy?" Niu Chao's feet couldn't reach the stirrups. Seeing Wu Gen's expression, he leaned down on the horse,
"Master Village Master, I ate cold food this morning and felt a little nauseous in my stomach, but I forgot to report it." Wu Gen snorted coldly and turned away to avoid talking to Niu Chao. This kid doesn't get along with anyone on weekdays, so he only takes responsibility for now. The cows that raise mastiffs are also close to each other. On weekdays, when they have nothing to do, they go over and scold the cows.
Wu Gen also inquired and found out that the reason why Niu Chao joined the bandit camp was because he had many children in the family and he was able to eat, so his parents sold him into slavery.
This boy was beaten and scolded so severely in his master's house that he set a fire and fled out of anger. He became a beggar when he was homeless.
Later, when he wandered near Cuisong Mountain, he was bored and flirted with a giant mastiff he met by chance, and was almost bitten to death.
If the cow hadn't saved him in time, he might have turned into a pile of dog shit. Seeing his pitiful appearance with wounds all over his body, Ushiya felt soft and took him in.
According to Niu Ye, this was the worst thing he had ever done in his life. When Niu Chao was placed in the mountains, he discovered that this boy was extremely naughty. He not only stole from others, but also often relied on Niu Ye's reputation to deceive others.
The Ox also wanted to drive him away, but this guy was born in the year of the Snake. If he got close to him, he would follow him on the stick and he couldn't be driven away.
Later, he simply gave up his surname and took the surname Niu after Niu, and let Niu take care of him every day.
In order to learn from Niu Ye's lesson, Wu Gen established a special rule in the army after recruiting Niu Chao into the Eight Riders of Lingyun.
If Niu Chao is found sneaking around in the camp, or doing bad things in his own name, whoever finds out can beat him up, and as long as he finds out, Wu Gen will reward the person who finds out.
As a result, Niu Chao became a street rat in the Fearless Army. He was often beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was carried around to ask for rewards from Wu Gen.
At most, Wu Gen gave out rewards seven times a day. But I don’t know if this kid was gifted or if he ate some treasure. No matter how badly he was beaten, he was still alive and kicking in a few days without leaving any scars.
But in this way, under the watchful eyes of everyone, this boy has restrained himself a lot. He didn't dare to steal from others anymore. Instead, he set his sights on Wu Gen and went to Wu Gen's house every three days.
In anger, Wu Gen would beat the kid every time he found out. In the end, he simply beat and stole, and forcibly tempered this boy with a body of copper skin and iron bones.
"Master of the village, let's discuss something." Niu Chao urged his horse to come to Wu Gen's side in a humble manner. Seeing that Wu Gen ignored him, he thought to himself and said, "Everyone else has military pay, but I don't. This is not very good. It's appropriate. My son, Niu, is also considered a leader in the army. He helped our fearless army raise so many mastiffs. There is no credit but hard work. But I can't get a penny. Doesn't it make my son cold? Heart." Wu Gen hadn't spoken yet, but Ha Ying and Zhuo Ke beside him couldn't help it. Even Li Qi, a guy who usually couldn't beat him with a stick, frowned.
Zhuo Ke urged the horse to come over fiercely,
"Fortress leader, you go on your way first, I'll give this bad guy a good beating." Wu Gen was actually happy when he heard this. There were not many people who could make Zhuo Ke so angry. He waved his hand and said: "Forget it. , what he said is not bad, I will make up for the military salary today." After saying that, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and waved to Niu Chao,
"Come here and give you the money." Niu Chao was overjoyed at the sight and quickly urged his horse to get closer. As soon as he reached Wu Gen, a big foot flew over and kicked him off the horse.
Wu Gen sneered and said: "If you want money, wait until you can keep up with us. Zhuo Ke, take his horse with us to Hanlu City. Whether he can keep up depends on his ability." With that, Wu Gen said Hit the horse and speed up and run forward.
"Okay." Zhuoke agreed, smiled, led Niu Chao's horse over, and accelerated forward.
"Wait for me, my son." Niu Chao ran after Sa Yazi. When he saw Wu Gen clenching his fists, he quickly added: "My son, the leader of the village, cannot do such an unscrupulous thing." Wu Genli ignored him and galloped forward on his horse. Behind him came the sound of Niu Chao crying for his father and mother.
When he was approaching Hanlu City, Wu Gen slowed down a little. When he looked back, Niu Chao had disappeared. He was about to ask Zhuo Ke to turn around and look for him, but he saw a puff of smoke rising in the distance. Niu Chao was walking with his steps. With short legs, he was running towards Hanlu City.
It looks like it won't take long to get there. Wu Gen looked at the rapidly approaching smoke in depression and sighed,
"How was this thing made? God is probably blind." This time Lu Lie hosted a banquet in his private residence. Yang Zheng had already communicated with Ji Ye during this trip, so Wu Gen rushed to Lu Lie directly. Lie's mansion.
When we arrived at the door, there were people waiting outside. After entering the mansion, Lu Lie led the way out, followed by Ba Hong.
Seeing Wu Gen bringing Li Qi over, Lu Lie frowned slightly, then laughed and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "Wu Qianhu, you're fine. We haven't seen you for many days, but you are becoming more and more heroic." Wu Gen. He quickly stepped forward to hold Lu Lie's arm and said with a cheerful smile,
"Brother Lu is really embarrassing me. Who can be better than you in terms of heroism? Come on, come on, give me the gift." Zhuo Ke quickly stepped forward and handed over a paper bag in his hand, which contained two pieces of bread. A catty of white jade bean sprouts.
Now several families know that when Wu Gen is invited to a banquet, the most unbeatable gift is White Jade Shu, so much so that Wu Gen secretly gets the nickname Mr. Yu Shu.
Lu Lie glanced at it and motioned for Jia Kui to accept it.
"Why don't you let Wu Qianhu spend money? Come on, please come in." While chatting and laughing, he said hello to Bahong. The two held hands with each other like friends for many years and walked to the backyard together.
Li Qi saw this and couldn't help but frown, secretly sighing at their shamelessness. When we arrived at the backyard, we saw beautiful flowers, bamboo fences and white walls, very similar to the human style.
When walking inside, there is a faint smell of new paint. It seems that the renovation has just been completed. Seeing Wu Gen's secret smile, Lu Lie felt a little embarrassed and pointed at the installation in the courtyard.
"The second young master likes the human race, so I sent someone to change it. What do you think, Wu Qianhu?" Wu Gen smiled slightly. Lu Lie's move was meant to show goodwill to Ji Ye. Could it be that this person has changed his gender? , or given instructions from home,
"It's very good, very good. It feels like returning to my hometown. Mr. Lu is very considerate."
"That's that." Lu Lie was quite proud and led Wu Gen directly into an elegantly decorated room. There were already three food tables in it. It seemed that only Wu Gen and three people were here today.
Someone was sent to arrange Li Qi and others elsewhere, and Lu Lie warmly invited Wu Gen to take a seat. Wu Gen was also calm, as if the two of them had no grudge at all.
After all, Lu Lie is only the representative of the family. At their level, a little conflict is nothing. Even if they were fighting to the death yesterday, as long as the interests of the family are needed, it is not impossible to talk and laugh today.
Without this awareness, one cannot survive in a big family. Although Lu Lie has a bad temper, he still has basic qualities in this area.
As soon as they took their seats, several stunning women in thin clothes walked out from behind the screen and accompanied the three of them.
The people serving Lu Lie and Ba Hong were all shepherds, but Wu Gen was a human woman, kneeling next to Wu Gen's arm, raising her hands and feet in the spring light.
"Wu Qianhu, I heard that the Fearless Army has won many great victories recently, and I am very happy. This glass of wine is to celebrate the victory of the Fearless Army." Lu Lie was the first to raise his glass and smiled at Wu Gen.
"It's easy to talk about." Wu Gen waited for the other party to drink, then raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. The woman next to him quickly gave Wu Gen another drink.
With wine as matchmaker, the banquet soon became lively. After three bottles of wine were finished, Lu Lie's face turned a little red, and his hands became a little dishonest. He groped back and forth on the maid next to him, inevitably engaging in some verbal exchanges or high mountains and rivers, which made Wu Gen's eyes red and his ears hot. .
Putting his arms around the woman, Lu Lie opened his front and looked at Wu Gen, who was restrained by the woman beside him, and laughed: "I heard that Wu Qianhu is alone so far, without even a maid. These two little prodigal hoofs, just Give it to Wu Qianhu to warm his bed."
"I have a fierce wife at home, so I don't dare to make mistakes." Wu Gen smiled bitterly and shook his head, secretly saying sorry to Zhu Qianhua.
"If she knew that I was having a romantic affair, she would probably kill her in Kuntianzhou and make me kneel on the washboard for three days."
"Haha, Wu Qianhu, a man who has fought hundreds of battles, is it possible that he is still afraid of a weak woman?" Ba Hong laughed and said,
"That's good. Since Young Master Lu has given away two people, I will also give away two human girls, so that Wu Qianhu will not sleep alone."
"Thank you, thank you." Wu Gen raised his wine glass to the two of them, drank it in one gulp, and then said with a sad face: "You two gave me your dear daughter, Wu Gen is certainly grateful, but he still has many brothers and sisters. , I’m afraid they are jealous.”
"Oh, Wu Qianhu is indeed considerate of his subordinates." Lu Lie slapped the table and said,
"That's good. Our Lu family is willing to send two hundred human beings, half male and half male, to Wu Qianhu as a reward."
"My Ba family is also willing to give two hundred people to Wu Qianhu, please accept it." Ba Hong also said from the side. Wu Gen struggled to push the woman beside him, stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them.
"Wu Gen is so grateful that you two are so generous. Come on, come on, I will toast you two three glasses of wine on behalf of my subordinates." He walked up to the two of them and toasted three glasses of wine before returning to his seat.
"Wu Qianhu, brother, I don't know whether to say something or not." Lu Lie pushed the woman beside him and motioned for the maids to leave. After these people went out, Fang Zheng said.
"But it doesn't matter." Wu Gen's heart moved and he looked at Lu Lie sincerely.
"Brother Wu, even though you are so proud now, you are about to be in trouble." Lu Lie slapped the food table and said loudly.
