"Why are you crying? It's too late for me to be happy!"
Liu Ying said it confidently.
My uncle is a very magical being. They say that my father is the uncle and my mother is the uncle. But the uncle also has his own children, and they share the same surname and clan, so they will inevitably compete for the family property.
The uncle is different. From the mother's side, he is a close relative and is no different from his uncle. But it's not a surname that you can rely on as a foreign aid.
This is especially important in the royal family.
No nephew would conspire with his uncle, but he could entrust important matters to his uncle without reservation. Reading the history books of the Han Dynasty, it is not uncommon to see relatives in charge of the country.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were like this. He was in a high position and felt at ease.
If it were the clan of the old Liu family, I'm afraid we would have to ask about the importance of the tripod.
Lu Ze is Lu Pheasant's eldest brother and the backbone of the Lu family.
Although Liu Ying is still a college student with clear eyes, she also knows that this person is her biggest supporter and supporter.
"Why are you making me cry? Is there some deceit?" Liu Ying asked doubtfully.
Pooh!
I am the King of Han, what bad thoughts can I have when facing my wife’s brother?
"Ying, just be obedient. Can Nai Weng still harm you?" Liu Bang said earnestly.
you can!
You still kicked me!
Liu Ying suddenly said: "Are you afraid of my uncle?"
"Nonsense!" Liu Bang reprimanded sternly: "Nai Weng is the king of Han, how can he be afraid of a subordinate?"
"Really?" Liu Ying said, "Then why are you crying?" With that, he got out of Liu Bang's hands and shouted loudly as he ran: "Uncle, uncle, and nephew are here to greet you!"
The treacherous son is bold!
Liu Bang was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed, "Le, is this the obedient and honest boy you and your mother said you were? I'm really pissed off!"
After saying that, Liu Bang chased out of the room without looking back.
Lu Ze was not only the elder brother of Lu Pheasant, the Lu family was also quite powerful, and he was also a distinguished guest of the magistrate of Pei County. After Liu Bang launched an army to fight against the Qin Dynasty, Lu Ze also led his clan members to join Liu Bang's group and raise troops together.
Therefore, Lu Ze was quite different from Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others and was highly respected.
Now that the Han army was defeated miserably, Lu Ze led his troops to the rescue. Everyone from top to bottom, cheering and excited, came out to greet them.
Liu Ying ran to the front with her short legs, stretched her neck and looked around... Logically speaking, she was not the original Liu Ying, so she would not be so enthusiastic about Lu Ze.
But who makes the old gangster fear him?
We can’t do it if we don’t have enthusiasm.
He stood on tiptoe and looked around. Soon the dust was flying and flags were fluttering. There is a troop of thousands of soldiers and horses coming towards this direction at lightning speed.
This uncle is so majestic!
Liu Ying was filled with joy. At this moment, Liu Bang caught up with him, looking at the soldiers and horses approaching from a distance, his brows furrowed, his hands in his sleeves trembling slightly, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his palms.
Liu Ying felt someone beside her, turned around and saw Liu Bang's cuffs shaking, his face more worried than happy... strange!
The army was defeated like a mountain. Shouldn't we be happy when reinforcements came?
I can't understand the brain circuit of the old gangster.
When Liu Ying was surprised, she looked back again. Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, and the kind-hearted car god uncle Xia Houying were all beaming with joy and looking forward to it.
It's just that they just suffered a tragic defeat. Everyone is miserable. Some have lost their armor, or have scars. Needless to say, they are in a panic.
Perhaps this is the most miserable time in their lives. After all, what follows is a comeback, founding of the country, meritorious service, a wife and son, and prosperity.
Speaking of which, Liu Bang was not merciful to kings with different surnames, and he was quite interesting to these old brothers.
While he was thinking, suddenly the sound of horse hooves came closer. Liu Ying glanced and saw that her uncle's soldiers and horses were already approaching. These people are fully equipped with armor and are full of vigor and vitality, just like a new force. The ground beneath my feet was shaking, it was really amazing!
Liu Ying suddenly had an idea, and he quickly turned his head and glanced at Liu Bang, finding that his forehead was already sweating.
The old gangster is really scared!
At this moment, Liu Bang suddenly lowered his head and held Liu Ying in his arms. He used both arms as if he was grasping a life-saving straw. He quickly put his face against Liu Ying's ear and whispered: "Ying, I'm begging you for my father, please cry quickly!"
Liu Ying took a deep breath and said seriously: "Father is afraid that uncle will catch you, so why do you go to Xiang Yu to ask for credit?"
"Don't talk nonsense, we are all one family, no way, no way!" Liu Bang tried his best to deny it, but his tone was obviously panicked.
Liu Ying nodded and said: "I didn't believe it at first, but when I think about my biological father and son, even if they can kick off the carriage, nothing will happen, right?"
"no!"
Shu Zi dares to expose Nai Weng's shortcomings!
Liu Bang's old face was so hot. If Lu Ze hadn't been right in front of him, he would have thrown Liu Ying to death!
"Father, don't worry, I know what you are thinking, I will cry." Liu Ying said.
Liu Bang turned from anger to joy. Lu Ze was a very affectionate person, so he was moved by family affection.
We are all a family, do we need to be so careful?
But Liu Bang knew that family affection was not necessarily reliable. Take Xiang Bo as an example. He was Xiang Yu's uncle. Didn't he still help him a lot?
Lu Ze had his own subordinates, but Liu Bang's trusted Han army had all been lost.
If Lu Ze captures Liu Bang now, he may not be able to get glory and wealth from Xiang Yu... But Liu Bang, who has lost all his capital, has no power to resist.
Fortunately, he also has a son, Lu Ze's favorite nephew!
Fortunately, I didn't throw this stick away yesterday, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to face Lu Ze today!
"Ying, you are such a good boy!" Liu Bang praised happily.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ying looked embarrassed and blinked, "Father...that, I can't cry!"
"You!" Liu Bang was furious.
Liu Ying felt aggrieved, "I really can't cry, otherwise... you should cry instead!"
Liu Bang's eyes stood up and he was furious.
"You can't cry, but Naoweng can?"
"But you obviously cried all night last night!" Liu Ying said seriously: "My father will definitely cry better than me!"
"Xiao Shuzi!" Liu Bang gritted his teeth and his eyes burst out with fire.
Liu Ying was not afraid, she turned around and said hurriedly: "Father, please cry, uncle is here!"
Liu Bang has been a bastard for most of his life, and no one has ever been able to threaten him. He never expected that his own son would take advantage of him.
A hundred steps away, Lu Ze had jumped off his horse and ran towards this side.
Time was running out, and it was too late to make Xiao Shuzi cry.
Liu Bang could only hug Liu Ying and run towards Lu Ze with red eyes. By the time the two sides met, Liu Bang was already crying.
He was a few years older than Lu Ze. He called out "Brother Ze", covered his face with his sleeves, and cried.
Liu Ying in her arms was also in admiration. How could she be an old gangster? She was simply an old dramatist!
He looked across and saw Lu Ze, who was over 10 years old, with a handsome face and regular features. If he looked carefully, he looked somewhat similar to himself. He was worthy of being his uncle.
"Your Majesty, my minister Lu Ze is here to escort you!"
He bowed deeply to Liu Bang, but Liu Bang didn't even answer.
According to the original script, Liu Ying should be crying and getting close to her uncle, with Liu Bang being responsible for the narration. But now Liu Bang was crying so hard that he couldn't face Lu Ze and froze.
Fortunately, Liu Ying noticed it quickly and immediately called: "Uncle!"
Lu Ze's whole body perked up, and his eyes fell on Liu Ying, with a delighted smile on his face. He reached out to touch Liu Ying's little face, and then thought of the public gaze, he patiently said softly: "How are you, Master? "
"Okay, I'm fine!" Liu Ying replied, "It's just that my father is very sad. He said last night that he was completely defeated and shameless to see anyone."
Lu Ze looked at Liu Bang in surprise. It was not like what the King of Han could say.
Lu Ze bowed and said: "Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. Don't worry about it. Although the coalition forces of the princes are numerous, they fight on their own and do not obey each other's orders. They are scattered. Xiang Yu's thunder struck and the army was defeated. It is not the king's fault." After a pause. , Lu Ze said again: "The king originally asked his ministers to station troops in the city, thinking that it would be a backup, but today is the day to prepare for it."
Liu Ying was overjoyed. This uncle was not only good at comforting people, but also flattered him. He spoke so nicely.
Liu Ying said happily: "So uncle is still willing to help my father? He won't give us to Xiang Yu, right?"
Lu Ze was still smiling in the first half of the sentence, but his expression suddenly changed in the second half.
Give it to Xiang Yu, how could it be?
Could it be...
At this time, Liu Bang finally spoke, and he scolded: "What nonsense! You really want to be beaten!" As he spoke, Liu Bang raised his fist, pretending to fight, but he did not actually take action.
Lu Ze became more and more frightened. He subconsciously looked at Liu Bang and the defeated soldiers behind him, and suddenly realized something. He looked at his nephew's innocent appearance again, and didn't know whether it was intentional or accidental.
No matter what, we still have to dispel Liu Bang's concerns.
He suddenly bowed down and said loudly: "I heard that the war in Pengcheng was not going well, so I specially sent troops to help the king. Now the king has turned the danger into good luck, and just handed over the troops and horses to the king to resist Xiang's army."
Lu Ze was actually willing to hand over his military power!
Liu Bang breathed a subtle sigh of relief and hurriedly put down the obstructive Liu Ying in his arms. Then he stretched out his hands, pulled up Lu Ze, put his arms around his shoulders, and said with a sigh: "Brother, we are all a family, what is the difference between you and me? The soldiers and horses are under your command, I am very relieved, Xiang Yu is a common man, It’s really difficult to deal with... Let’s go into the room and discuss it carefully.”
Liu Bang and Lu Ze were closer than brothers, so they directly left Liu Ying aside.
This old gangster is really too realistic!
Liu Ying gritted her teeth in anger. If I had known your virtue, I shouldn't have helped you!
Fortunately, Lu Ze was different from Liu Bang. He leaned over and took Liu Ying's little hand, and said with a smile: "You are a little brat. You are not big, but you have a lot of thoughts. How can my uncle be willing to give you to Xiang Yu!"
While talking, Lu Ze hugged Liu Ying in his arms again and pressed his little face hard.
Liu Ying also thought about it. Children are just being carried around, so there is nothing to complain about. What's more, her uncle's arms are obviously more comfortable than Liu Bang's.
"Uncle, I don't know, but my father kicked me and my sister out of the carriage yesterday. The fall was very painful."
"Ah!" Lu Ze immediately turned his head and looked at Liu Bang.
Lao Liu's face suddenly turned red and he said quickly: "Brother Ze, things are in a hurry. I originally planned to let Ying escape alone, but Xiang Yu was too eager to pursue his troops."
Lu Ze raised his brows, but finally didn't say anything more, and just hugged Liu Ying tighter.
Surrounded by everyone, they returned to the house. After sitting down, Liu Bang couldn't wait to say: "We can't stay in Fengyi for a long time. We must leave immediately. Is Brother Ze going somewhere?"
Lu Ze immediately said: "Go back to your Majesty. I am stationing troops in Xia Yi to temporarily resist the enemy. By chance, Mr. Zifang has just arrived in Xia Yi. Your Majesty can discuss with him."
"Mr. Zifang!"
Liu Bang's eyes gleamed, and he clapped his hands with joy, "Mr. Zifang is here, there must be a clever plan... So, let's leave for Xiayi as soon as possible."
Liu Bang looked at Lu Ze and said with a smile: "Brother Ze is tired from coming far, so you can rest here and let Ying accompany you. I can come back when I go."
After speaking, Liu Bang hurried away, leaving only his uncle and nephew in the room.
Lu Ze then lowered his head and said with concern: "Ying, did I break you?"
Her uncle's concern was palpable, and Liu Ying shook her head, "There are just some bruises and scratches, uncle, don't worry. But my father will definitely seize my uncle's military power when he goes here!"
Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his big hand and touched Liu Ying's head, "You are really clever!"
Liu Ying said: "Since uncle knows, why don't you deal with it quickly?"
"Cope with it? Cope with what? If the King of Han wants it, just give it to the King of Han!"
"Then, wouldn't my uncle suffer a loss?" Liu Ying didn't want this amiable uncle to suffer a loss, especially not letting the old gangster take advantage of him casually.
Lu Ze smiled again, and actually put his hand under Liu Ying's armpits, raised his arms high, and let the little guy ride on his neck, "Ying, it's a lot heavier!"
Not long after Liu Ying was born, Liu Bang went to Mangdang Mountain to work as a bandit. At that time, Lu Ze often came to take care of the three of them, and he always liked to play with his nephew on his back.
"Ying, you have to grow up quickly!" Lu Ze sighed.
Liu Ying smiled and said: "Yes, when I grow up, I will make my uncle the highest official... Taishi!"
Lu Ze was startled, then his lips widened with a relieved smile.
