Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 782
Looking at the tall checkpoint in the distance, Han Anguo was also a little flustered.

I vaguely remember that when I first came here, I was speechless by what the old man said, and I was beaten violently in all aspects.

Coming to this place where the world's talents gather again, Han Anguo took a deep breath, emboldened himself.

Liu Bo naturally noticed his situation. Seeing his uneasy face, he smiled and said: "No need to be like this. You said you wanted to learn all day long and you came back to Chang'an. You should be happy. There are many talented people here. , you can definitely find one or two of the best masters to learn from them. Isn’t this more useful in finding talented people locally?”

Han Anguo smiled wryly, "I'm afraid that the talented people in Chang'an don't like people like me."

But Zhu Meng snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? Isn't this Chang'an man a body of flesh and blood, everyone is the same person, with two eyes and one mouth, how can he be afraid of him from Chang'an? Am I a learned man?" How much, but this swordsmanship is passed down by my father, and there are few opponents. As long as I don’t meet the king or His Majesty who is so powerful, I will never be afraid! You are afraid of the people of Chang’an, but I insist on fighting with them Let's meet this Chang'an hero for a while!"

Liu Bo was taken aback, and hurriedly reminded: "It's okay if you want to compete with heroes, but don't provoke that old man. In this big man, I don't know how many veterans who have returned from the battlefield are those in the Taixue. Everyone, you have been studying swordsmanship for decades, although your swordsmanship is exquisite, I am afraid that you will not be able to defeat these people."

Ju Mong said with a smile: "Don't worry! Although I haven't made much progress in learning these days, I have learned a lot from studying the art of war with you, and I will never misjudge the strength of the enemy or myself!"

Liu Bo once again looked at the majestic checkpoint in front of him.

This is Wuguan. Since Chang'an gradually demolished the city walls, many checkpoints have been added along the road. Wuguan is one of them. This time Liu Bo and others returned, they took this road.

The building of Wuguan is getting taller and taller. From a distance, you can see the large crossbow carts above it, which makes people shudder.

While a few people were watching, a cavalry from the pass charged towards them and quickly completed the siege of them. Liu Bo was not surprised. Now there are more than one hundred people following him, all of them are from different places. The well-known heroes were persuaded by Liu Bo's Confucian principles, and they willingly followed him. As his followers, these people looked vicious, and they would be interrogated wherever they went along the road. This is the gate of Chang'an. It's more normal to be surrounded here.

However, the leader of the cavalry seemed a bit difficult to get along with. He raised his head at this moment and looked at the pedestrian in front of him with disdain.

"Where did the thieves come from? Dare to invade my gate of Chang'an?!"

"My gentleman, we are not thieves. This is our experience"

Before Liu Bo finished speaking, the man raised the crossbow in his hand and yelled, "Send that scribe to send it up, and don't move it! Otherwise, shoot him!!"

Han Anguo frowned, but still obediently picked up the things and delivered them to the officer.

The man looked down, his expression changed drastically, he hurriedly jumped off the horse with a smile, "Hahaha, misunderstood, misunderstood, so it's my brother from the same clan."

Seeing Liu Bo's astonished expression, the man hastily explained: "I just came from Shanfu's side, and my surname is Lu. I don't know if you are of the same clan, so I have offended you."

The verification that Liu Bo presented at this moment is the information of an ordinary Lu family son. After all, it is unrealistic to pretend to be Lu Lu and others near Chang'an, and they can be seen through at a glance. Liu Bo has a lot of identity certificates here. , When I went out, I specially prepared more. This person called himself Lu Wei, and he was also a disciple of the Lu family. Not long after he arrived in Chang'an, he led Liu Bo and others very enthusiastically, and even wanted to entertain them. Liu Bo rejected his offer, and passed through here safely.

Han Anguo said with some displeasure: "This fellow obviously has the intention to kill us. If you hadn't shown your identity as a son of a rich family, I'm afraid he would be planted by him as a bandit and cut off our heads to claim credit." ah."

Only then did Ju Mong wake up, "I said, why are you always pointing at us with a crossbow!"

"How can such a person guard the gate of Chang'an?"

Liu Bo frowned, "No problem, I will report this matter myself."

But at this moment, another cavalry charge came. This time, Zhu Mong was directly prepared to meet the enemy. Liu Bo didn't panic at all. When he saw who was coming, he couldn't help laughing, yes Left and right said: "This is my lord, don't disturb it."

The person who came was Lu Chan, and Lu Chan came for Liu Bo and the others, and waved his hand at Liu Bo from a distance.

"Hahaha, you bastard! Do you know you're going home? The adults at home miss you so much"

Lu Chan looked at Liu Bo, who was two heads taller than him, and happily patted his chest. He wanted to pat his shoulder, but he couldn't reach it.

"uncle!"

"Haha, I learned that you're coming back, and I've been waiting here for several days, and finally you're back!"

Lu Chan held Liu Bo's hand intimately, and Liu Bo hurriedly introduced him to the people around him. Han Anguo and the others were a little surprised. They had long thought that there would be noble people to welcome Dai Wang when he returned to Chang'an, but they didn't expect that, in the end, It was the Lu family who came to greet him first.Among Liu Chang's many heirs, the one who is closest to the Lu family is not Liu An, but the second eldest, Liu Bo. In the eyes of most of the Lu family, he is the serious close relative of the Lu family. Although the other descendants are also relatives, they are not as close as Liu Bo.

If other people pretend to be the Lu family, the Lu family may be a little dissatisfied, but only these closest friends, such as Liu Ying, Liu Chang, and Liu Bo, pretend to be the Lu family, there is no problem at all.

Lu Chan asked about Liu Bo's situation with concern, and learned that the friends he made along the way and the many famous scholars he visited also praised him unceasingly.

He led Liu Bo back to Chang'an, and while walking on the road, Liu Bo talked about the situation of Wu Guanshou.

"That person's expression is a little bit wrong, and he looks a little skilled. Maybe he has done such a reckless thing. It's best to check it out."

When Lu Chan heard this from him, his complexion changed drastically, and his eyes suddenly became cold. He immediately ordered to the left and right: "Go and arrest that Wuguan guard now! Conduct a careful interrogation on Wuguan!"

Liu Bo said helplessly: "Uncle, this is just our speculation, there is no evidence yet."

Lu Chan waved his hand, "If you catch the wrong one, just have a meal together and appease him. If there is such a behavior, how can you tolerate him? It is because there are too many disciples like this in my Lu family that I can't accept it." With today's notoriety!!"

Liu Bo didn't say anything more, Lu Chan hesitated for a moment, and asked: "You are coming back this time, are you planning to go to the country?"

"Yes, this time when I come back, I will spend some time with the adults at home, and I will go to Daiguo."

Lu Chan looked at him hesitantly, not knowing how to speak.

Liu Bo asked, "Uncle, what do you want to tell me?"

Lu Chan looked at the people around him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you go back first, meet your parents, remember to come to my mansion later, I have something to say to you!"

"it is good."

Liu Bo didn't ask any more questions, and when he entered Chang'an City, all the people accompanying him were attracted by the bustle. Because there were too many people, Liu Bo asked them to rest in one of his mansions for a while, while he hurried to royal palace.

"Brother!!!"

Before seeing her father, Liu Ye blocked Liu Bo's way, jumped on her happily, and hung her directly on the second brother's neck, Liu Bo hugged her with a smile, "Why is it so heavy? I can hardly hold it anymore!"

"Second brother! You are finally back!"

"Fourth brother bullied me! And grandma!"

Liu Jie hastily started the mode of complaining, telling about the suffering he is suffering now, Liu Bo listened to her complaining with a smile, and strode towards Houde Hall.

When the two entered Houde Hall, Liu Chang had already been waiting here.

"Father!"

Liu Bo saluted, then looked at Cao Shu who was at the side, and saluted again, "Grandmother!"

Liu Chang looked at him suspiciously, "Why don't you go to see your aunt first? Instead, come to me?"

Liu Bo scratched his head, "After driving for many days, I'm a little tired. I'm afraid this appearance will hurt my mother's heart. I plan to visit after a few days of recuperation."

Cao Shu said with a smile: "This journey has not been in vain, there has been progress."

Liu Chang snorted coldly, "What progress? He has become as hypocritical as Confucianism. I said at the beginning that he should be allowed to serve in corvee, but he must be sent to travel around. Look, it's better to go to corvee. ?”

While chatting, Fan Qing and Yong'e hurried in, and Liu Bo met them again.

Everyone gathered around Liu Bo, asking him about his journey, and even Liu Chang listened calmly to this guy's story, and learned that he had persuaded many thieves along the way. Let them change their minds and serve by their side. Everyone was a little terrified. Fan Qinghou said in fear: "It means that these people have no intention of murdering you. How can you be so careless? If these people are secretly harming you, what will you do?" ?”

"Mum, I treat people with sincerity, and people will treat me with sincerity. This is the principle of a sage."

Liu Chang curled his lips, "This is not the principle of a saint, it is the principle of big fists, but if you are a little smaller, it is time to choose the new heir of the Dai Kingdom."

"Father, you can't say that. I argue with them based on the principles of saints, so that they will follow me willingly."

"Fart, try throwing away the crossbow in your hand when you are arguing? Arguing with a crossbow, the sage's reasoning is of course good enough to put the crossbow against the opponent's head. Even if Confucius is resurrected, he can't beat you!"

Cao Shu finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Your Majesty! Be careful!"

Liu Chang muttered a few words, then pulled Liu Jin aside, and said in a low voice, "Don't listen to your second brother's nonsense, since ancient times, this principle comes from between fists and crossbows."

Liu Bo also talked about the process of making friends with Han Anguo and others.

"Ah? Liangcai Han Anguo, I have heard a lot about his reputation in Chang'an, but I didn't expect to follow you! Good!"

Cao Shu praised it.

But Liu Chang couldn't help tearing it down, "What kind of talent, that guy is just a beaten man, not worth mentioning."

Liu Bo talked about his affairs in Jiaodong Kingdom again. At this time, Liu Changfang didn't continue to ridicule Liu Bo, "This matter was handled well, with some courage. The follow-up ending is also good."

Everyone talked endlessly, Cao Shu looked at Liu Bo with red eyes, stopped everyone, and said: "Bo came from a long way, let him go to rest first, let him rest for a day, and talk about it tomorrow." !"

Liu Bo originally wanted to say it's okay, but seeing Cao Shu's serious face, he didn't dare to say anything, so he agreed.

When he returned to his mansion, all the guests had gone out, only Han Anguo, Ju Mong and a few others were waiting for him, and they did not go out.

After lying in the mansion until night, Liu Bo woke up and was ready to eat something.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a few people standing outside the door. When he looked carefully, Liu Bo was startled.

"Big brother!"

The person standing outside the door was Liu An. Liu Bo looked at him in astonishment. Han Anguo said helplessly, "Your Majesty, the crown prince came here and learned that you are resting. We are not allowed to wake you up."

Liu Bo was ashamed, "Brother, how can I let you wait here, I"

"Hahaha, what's the matter, I hugged you to sleep several times when you were young, it's cold outside, please invite me in!!"

Liu An ordered, and Liu Bo hurriedly moved away. Liu An walked into the inner room, rubbed his hands, sat on the upper seat, and signaled Liu Bo to sit beside him.

Looking at his younger brother who was much taller than him in front of him, Liu An felt a little emotional.

"I've grown up. I was just a silly kid back then, but now I'm so tall. I'm a few heads taller than me. I can't hug him even if I want to."

"Brother, I was going to visit you, but I'm on my way all night."

"I know, I know, there is no need to explain, your family reunion is very happy, and I, an outsider, can only visit at night alone."

Liu An smiled, and then asked about Liu Bo's situation these days.

The two brothers sat in the house and chatted cordially.

At this moment, the people standing outside looked at each other.

Han Anguo looked at the scribe in front of him, and nodded kindly, but this person glanced at Han Anguo, but he didn't return the greeting, he just looked in the direction of the inner room, Ju Meng was a little displeased.

"Are you from Chang'an, are you so rude?"

Lei looked at the saber on his waist and shook his head, "It's such a good sword, what a pity."

Ju Mong sneered, "I am willing to fight against you."

Before they could say anything more, Liu Bo took his elder brother's hand and walked out. Liu An gave a lot of orders with a smile, and returned the salute to everyone, and then led the diners out of here.

Liu Bo watched his elder brother leave, and couldn't help but sighed, "It's time to visit my elder brother, it's really embarrassing for my elder brother to come to see me."

Han Anguo said earnestly: "The prince values ​​love and has a good reputation. From today's point of view, he is the same as a person. He loves the king very much, but these disciples around the prince are too arrogant and ignorant of manners. For the prince, It's not a good thing."

Ju Mong also nodded and said, "Yes, there was a monkey-like figure just now, who wanted to fight with me!"

"For a man as wise as the crown prince, why are his followers so vulgar?"

Liu Bo was taken aback, "Monkey-like figure? Is it Lei Gong? Amon, don't underestimate this man. This man is known as the number one swordsman in Chang'an. His swordsmanship is extremely good and unrivaled. He used to be in the prince's mansion. It's frightening to fight against more than 60 sword masters by yourself. It's a good thing you didn't fight him, otherwise, you might not be able to last a round."

Ju Mong's face turned pale, "One against sixty?? Still a good player??"

Liu Bo said seriously: "These people gathered around my elder brother all have their own unique skills. He has three thousand disciples, and among them the best ones have the character of Hachiko and the others, probably because they are too talented. The reason."

Han Anguo asked with a smile: "Don't you envy Your Highness? Your Highness claims to have three thousand disciples, all of whom are talented, and there are people like Hachiko, but you have only a few hundred of us under your command. If you don't know martial arts, you can't do it, and you don't have much talent."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bo raised his head and chuckled lightly.

"Even though Big Brother has many followers, I don't envy him. Many friends around me are all brothers who can entrust their lives. You don't have the talent of Big Brother's followers, and I don't have the talent of Big Brother. When we are in the country , work together, do your best, as long as you can make some achievements and don't waste your time, that's enough! I think my elder brother has to envy me. We have been together for so long, and we are as close as brothers to each other. Nothing else, big brother is here, but every day we have to deal with the infighting between diners!"

When everyone heard this, they felt confident and their faces were full of smiles.

Ju Mong also couldn't help saying: "No matter how stupid or inferior we people are, we can only work together, and we will definitely beat him or something!"

"well said!!!"

Suddenly there was a sound of agreement, everyone was shocked and looked towards the door.

Instead, he saw two half-sized boys who looked similar, and there were many people standing behind them, looking at Liu Bo at the moment.

The one who spoke was darker and looked more heroic.

Liu Bo suddenly laughed, "Almost forgot you two Shuzi!"

"come over!"

The two hurried forward, Liu Bo grabbed one of them with each hand, hugged them in his arms, and then introduced to the left and right: "This is my two incompetent younger brothers, the one with the black spot is called Ci, and the one with the white spot is called Liang." "

The two of them were pretty well-behaved, and they met Liu Bo's followers.

Liu Ci looked at Zhu Meng, and said happily: "You're right, what are the three thousand disciples, and the eight masters under the sect? In the future, when we are in the country, we must do something big. Let's see who is more powerful. Ability! The three kings in the northwest will make an alliance to hunt in Anxi, and when we are in the country, we will also have a meeting of the three kings. At that time, the second brother will guarantee my logistics, and I will lead a million troops to break through the city of Anxi!! "

Liu Liang was taken aback, "Then what should I do?"

"You just let someone accompany us, and write some poems, play and sing along the way to relieve boredom!!"
