Pei County.
"Ah, that Liu Ji is so shameless!"
"As a disciple of Zhang Er, he actually kicked Zhang Er out of the car in a critical moment in order to save his life."
"Such behavior is disgusting. You married Ah Zhi to him. With Liu Ji's character, if he is hunted down again in the future, he might kick Ah Zhi out of the car in order to save his own life! "
"I, Lu Shi, am ashamed to be married to such a shameless villain!"
The Lu family's mansion was recently newly decorated and covered with red silk cloth, making it look cheerful.
Lu Shizhi stood in the hall, shouting to the old man on the main seat, dancing and looking very excited.
Lu Gong rolled his eyes. He seemed to have a grudge against Liu Ji this time. He didn't know how many times he had said this in front of him, and Lu Gong's ears almost felt numb.
Now Liu Ji has gone through the procedures of accepting the offer, asking for the name, accepting the offer, accepting the levy, and applying for the deadline.
He just waits for him to come to the Lu family to welcome the bride tomorrow morning, take her back to his hometown in Zhongyangli, Fengyi, and hold a "evening ceremony" at dusk.
After that, the Liu and Lu families became one family.
At this time, Lu Shizhi wanted to repeat the old talk, which inevitably made Lu Gong unhappy. He stroked his long beard under his chin and turned to look at his eldest son sitting beside him.
"enough."
Lu Ze spoke with a clear voice.
"There are many doubts about Liu Ji's case. He was willing to kill himself to prove his innocence. The rangers like Pei Yi also testified about his character. It can be seen that this matter was probably framed by others. You should not believe it easily."
"After tomorrow, Liu Ji will be my son-in-law, Mrs. Lu, and our brother-in-law. Don't ruin his marriage with Ah Zhi because of those ridiculous market rumors."
Lu Ze's voice was not loud, but it was a deterrent to his younger brother.
After all, the relationship started since childhood, so Lu Shizhi was quite afraid of his eight-foot-tall eldest brother.
But he was unwilling to give in and still argued forcefully: "Wang Ling and others are his close friends of Liu Ji, so they naturally want to protect Liu Ji. How can they prove his innocence? Moreover, he coaxed Aweng and his brother to let me, the Lu family, move away Isn’t it true that a single father came to a strange Peiyi?"
"I specifically asked the Wei family of Shan's father. Although the Qin army destroyed Wei and occupied Wei, they did not kill anyone in Shan'fu. On the contrary, they made the old head of the Wei family the county magistrate of Shan's father. There was no persecution against the local wealthy families, let alone the idea that Qin Fa would destroy the whole family. Then Liu Ji was an alarmist at the beginning and deliberately tricked me, the Lu family, into coming to Peiyi. From this, we can see that this person is full of lies..."
"Get out of here."
Lu Gong suddenly got angry, blowing his beard and glaring at Lu Shizhi, looking like an angry old lion.
Lu Ze even said coldly: "Lu Shizhi, this is the last time. I don't want to hear you say bad things about Liu Ji again."
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
The character is not too bad to be married to us. Moreover, I have made friends with Wang Ling and other heroes through him. It will not be long before I, the Lu family, can integrate into this Peiyi. It may not be as good as before when I was a single father. "
Mr. Lu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Liu Ji's behavior is indeed extraordinary. He tricked us into coming here, which shows that he is quite clever. I actually admire him. As for the matter of kicking and opening ears... this matter It was definitely not done by Liu Ji."
Lu Ze nodded understandingly.
No matter who kicked Zhang Er's car, Lu's son-in-law had never done such a thing.
Lu Gong remembered Lu Shizhi's angry look just now, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "You can go and warn Shizhi again, and there will be no accidents in the wedding tomorrow. As for Ah Zhi..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Lu looked indifferent.
"When she marries Liu Ji for a few years and has children, she will naturally accept her fate."
…
In the swampland near Zhongyangli, Fengyi, there are often huts where fishermen stay.
In a house, two men in their thirties were lying together.
One person was lying on the haystack, and the other person was lying on his side, leaning his head on the other person's belly, looking very comfortable.
Just like the two of them since childhood.
"Aji, you will get married tomorrow, to that lady named Lu."
Lu Wan touched Liu Ji's head and said with some emotion.
Hearing this, Liu Ji laughed loudly: "It's not because you, Lu Wan, are not a woman. Otherwise, I would marry you and become my bride. How could I find a lady from the Lu family?"
Lu Wan rolled her eyes and hummed: "Then why don't you be a woman? If you Liu Ji were a woman, no matter how ugly you are, I would marry you as my bride and put you on the bed and take good care of you."
"You Lu Wan, you not only want Nai Gong to be a woman, but you also dare to call Nai Gong ugly, I'm not done with you."
As he spoke, Liu Ji grabbed Lu Wan's beard and laughed.
Lu Wan was in pain, so she grabbed Liu Ji's beard with her backhand and pulled hard. Liu Ji cried out in pain: "Lu Wan, let go!"
"You let go first!"
"You let go first!"
…
Two bearded men in their thirties started fighting in this fisherman's hut.
After a while, the two of them were exhausted and lay down on the haystack.
The two pairs of eyes looked at the dilapidated roof, just like they had done since they were young.
Lu Wan and Liu Ji were both from Zhongyangli, Fengyi, and they lived very close to each other.
Lu Wan's father and Liu Ji's father have also been good friends since childhood, and they have a very good relationship.
Women from the Liu and Lu families became pregnant almost at the same time.
What's even more amazing is that I wonder if God valued this friendship and allowed the two women to give birth on the same day of the same month and year, giving birth to two baby boys.
The previous generation were close friends, but the next generation were actually born on the same day, same year, and same month.
Such a strange thing made all the villagers marvel. The folks in Zhongyangli went to the two families carrying sheep wine to congratulate them.
Later, when Liu Ji and Lu Wan grew up, they read and wrote together, learned swordsmanship and drank wine together. Their relationship was very good and they were almost inseparable. The villagers were full of praise when they saw them.
The villagers brought sheep wine to congratulate the continuation of the friendship between the two families. This incident became a good story in Fengyi for a while.
It's just that childhood time is always short. When they grow up, they will have to find their own way to make a living.
Lu Wan was forced to make a living and took care of farming at home.
Liu Ji had no interest in this, so he wandered around, making friends with heroes from all over the world, and became a slightly famous light knight.
After they grew up, the two spent less time together and more time apart, but every time Liu Ji returned to Fengyi, he would find Lu Wan to drink and have fun, or go to their favorite place to play when they were children, to lean on each other and talk.
"By the way, Aji, have you heard about the Qin army?"
The two of them were close together. Lu Wan remembered what she had heard recently about a Qin army calling from south to north, and couldn't help but ask.
Qin army?
Liu Ji's mouth twitched, and he remembered that he was chased by the Qin army's cavalry in Waihuang.
If Nai Gong hadn't been so anxious, he might have had his head chopped off by those Qin people.
But Liu Ji naturally wouldn't say this in front of Lu Wan, so he snorted.
"I heard that there seem to be thousands of people coming, fighting all the way from the south of my country of Chu. It's quite interesting."
"But I heard Wang Ling say that behind the Qin army there is our Chu army chasing them. I think it won't be long before they can be wiped out. Now that Qin and Chu are fighting, the Qin army has been defeated. It's just this group of remnant soldiers. Defeated general, they can't defeat us in Fengyi, you don't have to worry about this."
Liu Ji said as if to cheer him up, feeling a little unsure.
Lu Wan believed Liu Ji's words. He straightened up, grabbed a handful of Liu Ji's beard, and said with a smile: "As long as you can't defeat him, I'm worried that if the Qin army arrives in Peiyi, it will affect you." Marriage. Since I can't come, it will be fine for you to welcome your bride tomorrow. But you, Liu Ji, have married a bride, so don't forget the relationship between you and me since childhood."
After hearing this, Liu Ji pushed Lu Wan down with a wave of his hand and laughed, "Don't worry, you and I have been friends for more than thirty years, how can this be compared to a lady of the Lu family?"
"I, Liu Ji, have lived up to Lu Wan, and you, Lu Wan, should live up to Liu Ji."
…
A place more than ten miles south of Peixian County.
The sky is dim and the winter wind is howling on the ground.
An army of several thousand people had just set up camp in an open space.
"Marquis, our army will rest here for one night today and arrive at Peiyi at noon tomorrow. Then we can replenish food from the city, and then we can go straight west to Shanfu in Wei."
After hearing this, Zhao Tuo nodded and said to Shejian: "Although our army is approaching Peiyi, we must not take it lightly. Although the Chu army was defeated in the battle of Surabaya, there were still thousands of defeated soldiers who escaped. If Zhaoping Afterwards, gather them together and catch up again. I'm afraid it will be another bloody battle. You need to send the rangers out as far as possible, whether it is in front or behind, be careful."
"only."
Shejian was ordered to retreat.
Zhao Tuo was sitting in the tent, and with a thought in his heart, he couldn't help but walk out of the tent, facing the cold winter wind, and looking at the north under the night.
His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the distance of more than ten miles and the cover of the night, and see the border city of Chu State.
"Pei Yi...Pei County, if I remember correctly, Liu Bang was from Fengyi, Pei County."
"Hey hey hey, I'd better say hello when I'm passing by this time."
"It would be nice to meet the long-famous Emperor Taizu Gao..."
