On the West Lake, Sugong Embankment.

When Su Dongpo was governing the West Lake, he only asked for a hundred ultimatums from the court, and then he raised the money to mobilize 200,000 people.

This is simply an example of a capable minister.

Before the southward crossing, Su Causeway was a place not to be missed when visiting the West Lake; after the southward crossing, the court built many pavilions and pavilions on Su Dongpo to commemorate Su Dongpo.

If there's one place in Lin'an that's the busiest, it's the West Lake outside Qiantang Gate.

The most lively place in West Lake is Su Causeway.

On normal days, there are quite a lot of performances here, such as riding on ropes and riding horses, spitting fire and leaping through hoops, etc. There are also people buying and selling at the market, fragrant tea and fruit, necessities for wine, and trivial theatrical utensils... to tempt the ladies and children. There are countless Cao people.

Such a scene is something that Liu Bang has never seen before. Chen Miaochang and Daoji, who have been accompanying the Bodhisattva since childhood, and Zhong Yu, who has been playing with sticks and guns since childhood, are both rare.

The little monk's food is now very good, and his whole body is plump. He still can't get used to drinking wine, but he can't live without meat.

Liu Bang was thinking about how to control this child. He was cute when he was fat when he was a child, but he would be less lovable when he grows up.

They seemed like a wealthy family going on a trip. The whole family was full of nobility. Looking from the east to the west, everyone was holding something they liked, but they were still a little unfinished.

But now it was getting hot, so I found a shady tea shop and had some tea.

Zhong Yu kept staring at the hairpin on Chen Miaochang's head. He had not seen it from the beginning. Now that he was free, he quickly asked who the seller was and what the price was.

After knowing that it was a treasure that His Majesty the Emperor spent a lot of money to buy, the look of disappointment in his eyes was clear, but there was also a hint of unexplainable truth.

Liu Bang was still arguing with Dao Ji about the ownership of the Nuo ghost mask, when he saw the shop serving tea. Zhong Yu took a sip and then placed the tea bowl heavily on the table.

The tea splashed all over the table, and even a few drops splashed on Daoji's bald head. The heat made the little man grin his teeth, but he didn't dare to get angry.

What is this woman crazy about?

Seeing her angry look, Liu Bang thought for a while, probably thinking about the thousands of people in her family.

Then he said, "Your family members have been enlisted in the army. Why are you still angry?"

It's okay that he didn't mention this, but Zhong Yu became even more annoyed when he mentioned it.

The agreed-upon numbers for the Zhong Family Army...the emperor organized thousands of people into chaos and assigned them to the Sanya Forbidden Army. Some of the smart ones even had him incorporated into the Imperial City Division.

She grew up to kill the golden man, not to do some bodyguard work!

It's good now that the two are reconciled. Where can I find the family number?

If that was the case, I shouldn’t have listened to this foolish king that day!

She just felt that she had been deceived, and she had also been deceived along with her uncles and brothers at home. The young lady felt aggrieved:

"The officials are merciful! They have given me and other bandits a chance to change their ways. How can the slave family dare to be angry?!"

"Don't say any weird words... I know what you are thinking."

Liu Bang also took a sip of tea, which made his mind clearer:

"Don't think about things like your family number anymore. Think about it for me. What kind of family army, Yue Family Army, and Han Family Army are everyone thinking about? Where does it put me?"

She almost shed tears when she thought that her whole family had watched over the Western Frontier on behalf of the Song Dynasty and still could not gain the emperor's trust even now:

"The Zhong Family Army is your army. The government and the military are so clearly divided. Could it be that if we change its name, it would no longer be the Zhong Family Army? Could it be that changing its name would make you feel at ease?"

"What you said is wrong..." Liu Bang shook his head, "The Zhong Family Army can be my army, but my army... cannot be the Zhong Family Army."

Seeing that she was a little confused, Liu Bang didn't want to explain more.

Women are just right now, just be a woman.

If you know too much, you will want more. When the time comes, your appetite will become bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult to deal with it.

"Just changing the name may not change anything, but if you want to change anything, you must change the name first."

Hearing him keep talking about tongue twisters, I guess he was trying to deceive himself again. Zhongyu couldn't care about anything else, so he only made one point:

"If that's the case, why do the officials only take issue with my family? You are very partial. Other people also call me by other names, but you don't care."

Seeing Daoji taking advantage of his words, he wanted to hide the mask in his robe.

Liu Bang slapped him on the head and snatched the mask back:

"You kid, you don't want to imitate what you're good at!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhong Yu again: "How do you know that I won't care about it?"

As if hearing him speak, a boat stopped on the shore ahead, and an old man in a green robe stepped ashore. After looking around for a while, he ran towards the tea shop.

When he got closer, Zhongyu's breathing became a little heavier.

The person who came was none other than the man who wanted to take his life a few days ago... Zhang Jun, the Taiwei of Song Dynasty.

"The official family..."

The old man smiled flatteringly and stood down at the edge of the table. He did not order tea or take a seat... mainly because there was no place to sit, but he was somewhat similar to Huang Yanjie beside him.

"Have you had dinner with Prime Minister Qin?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten."

"Then...has Prime Minister Qin told you?"

"Said it, said it!"

He originally thought that he knew enough about the emperor, but it wasn't until today when he went to Qin Xiangye's banquet that Zhang Jun knew what the emperor had always been worried about.

I was fooled by Qin Hui, and was frightened by his statement that he wanted the heads of the three generals if he wanted to negotiate a peace. Now that the peace negotiation has been completed, the old thief's lies will be self-defeating.

But it’s the emperor’s fault. You just want military power. You should just say so!

It took so much effort that I was so scared that I couldn't even sleep well.

Compared with life, that handsome seal tiger talisman is nothing!

Zhang Jun took out the Tiger Talisman from his chest and presented it with both hands:

"I am fortunate to have the trust of the officials and have led the armies of the Huaihe River for more than ten years. Now that I have become the privy envoy, I will return this to Your Majesty... The commander's seal is at home and I never took it with me."

Looking at Zhongyu, Liu Bang said to Zhang Jun:

"You boy, if this thing should be returned to the Privy Council, then return it to the Privy Council. If it should go to the Ministry of War, then give it to the Ministry of War. Why should you give it to me?"

Zhang Jun still smiled: "I was rude, I will forgive you, please forgive me."

With that said, he put the things away again.

After a while, no one else came. Liu Bang kept looking into the distance and saw nothing.

Knowing what the emperor was waiting for, Captain Zhang whispered:

"Guan family, I'm afraid Yue Pengju will be delayed for a while."

"Huh? Is he reluctant?"

"Where! He..."

Lieutenant Zhang was a little embarrassed to say: "He, he is entangled."

Tangled?

Liu Bang rolled his eyes at Zhang Jun: "Where did our Prime Minister Qin invite this beauty? Can you keep him entangled for so long?"

"You're too useless. Although you're a little older, how can you be so much faster than others?"

Hearing these words, both Zhang Jun and Chen Miaochang blushed. Zhang Taiwei quickly defended himself. Words like "You can't rush things with generals" and "I'm not that kind of person" kept coming out of his mouth. come out.

After a while, in order to prove that he was not inferior to Yue Fei, Zhang Juncai finally said:

"Official affairs are not a woman's business."

Liu Bang looked at him curiously: "Could it be a man?"

"This...hey! It's Qin Hui who is begging Yue Pengju and won't let him leave!"

I had always wanted someone else's life before, why did I ask for someone else's life now?

This Qin Hui is more relaxed than himself.

"What does he want from Yue Fei?"

"Please..." Zhang Jun glanced at the emperor and said,

"Please ask Yue Pengju to save his life."
