"Master, master......"

Hou Xiaoliu's whispered shout brought Lu Bu back to reality.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing that Lu Bu was relieved, Hou Xiaoliu subconsciously asked.

Lu Bu had a smile on his face, he suddenly had a bold plan in his mind, threw the bulging money bag in his hand to Hou Xiaoliu, and said very generously: "I am all rewarded to you!" ”

Hou Xiaoliu thought that Lu Bu would only take out a part of it to reward himself, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to throw the entire money bag over.

The money in this bag is enough for him to eat and drink for more than half a year.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir! God will bless you and your wife for a long life! Many happy returns! Hou Xiaoliu thanked him very excitedly, this is the most generous reward he has received since he entered the industry.

"Little Liu, you are really a talent!" Lu Bu smiled and said to him.

"Master, don't lift me up, what kind of talent is the little one, just an ordinary person, and he can't even read a word." Hou Xiaoliu waved his hand very self-consciously.

Subsequently, Hou Xiaoliu took Lu Bu to continue to wander around Hu City.

However, at this time, Lu Bu was obviously not interested in these Fanbang goods, but he was quite interested in Hou Xiaoliu who led the way, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoliu, do you have a dream?" ”

Hou Xiaoliu shook his head.

At present, the world is in chaos, the etiquette is collapsing, and the wars are constantly raging in various parts of the Central Plains, and although the state has been slightly better in recent years, no one can guarantee that the war will not spread.

Isn't it nonsense to talk about dreams with ordinary people?

Surviving this troubled world safely is the ideal of the people.

"Don't you want to experience the cultural customs of Kushan, Anxi and other countries?" Lu Bu carefully noticed that when Hou Xiaoliu was explaining these places just now, his eyes were full of yearning.

That's why he asked.

"I want to, but I don't have any money! With such a long journey, who knows how much money it will cost! Besides, I'm gone, what will my wife do? Who will raise my mother-in-law and baby? ”

Maybe the old man in front of him is approachable, without the superiority and contempt and insult of those rich masters in the past, Hou Xiaoliu is also sincere. When he was a child, he heard the story of Zhang Qian's passage to the Western Regions, so he also looked forward to becoming a hero like Zhang Qian.

However, dreams are beautiful, and when you grow up, you will find that real life can teach you to be a person in minutes.

Later, I heard that Linrong opened Hu City, Hou Xiaoliu seized the opportunity and came to be a guide, not to mention being rich and expensive, at least he could get the food and clothing of the family.

Dealing with businessmen from all over the world and listening to them talk about the customs of their respective countries, Hou Xiaoliu not only broadened his horizons, but also indirectly fulfilled a wish when he was a child.

Seeing that Hou Xiaoliu really had this idea, Lu Bu struck while the iron was hot: "Xiaoliu, I'll give you as much money as you want." As for your mother, wife and children, I will take care of them together, and promise to send your children to school, and when they grow up, they will be given official positions. ”

When Lu Bu said this, he didn't hesitate at all, for him, these things were just a piece of cake.

However, this shocked Hou Xiaoliu.

If it were someone else, Hou Xiaoliu would definitely think that he was bragging. However, the person in front of him is not only generous, but also has a calm and atmospheric temperament, just like a majestic mountain, which makes people feel a little safer.

"Sir, who are you?"

Hou Xiaoliu lowered his posture and asked nervously.

A character who can casually say Xu Yi's official position, let alone him, even the county magistrate, he doesn't have this ability.

Lu Bu did not give a clear reply, but told Hou Xiaoliu: "If you agree, you will come to see me at the post house in the east of the city tomorrow." Then you will know who I am. ”

…………

The sun set down the hillside, and Hou Xiaoliu returned to the countryside village with a complicated mood.

There are more than 100 families in this village, who make a living from farming. Although it is not rich, the food cultivated is enough to feed the family.

Hou Xiaoliu doesn't want to be a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky all his life, so he is often joked about by the men in the village, what's wrong with self-sufficiency in farming?

"Six, you're back."

The old mother, who was over fifty years old, sat at the door in front of the house, and three children who were squatting on the ground and playing ran over one after another, shouting Daddy, Daddy.

Hou Xiaoliu shouted 'Mother', and squatted down to hold the three children in his arms.

At night, in the dead of night.

The three children had already fallen asleep, and Hou Xiaoliu called his wife and his mother to put the bulging money bags on the wooden table lit with candles.

The wife's eyes were straight, and she was shining greedily.

This money bag is full of high-quality new dollars, save a little, even if you don't plough the fields, it will be enough for the family to eat for a year or two.

She is a peasant woman, where has she seen so much money, and she doesn't care about the source of the money, she praises her husband's ability.

But the old lady seemed to be a little angry: "Six, you are honest and explain to your mother, did you steal this money?" My mother has taught you since you were a child, you have to be honest and kind......"

"Mother, I really didn't steal it, it was a man surnamed Lu who rewarded me." Hou Xiaoliu said with grievances in his stomach, and told him what happened to Lu Bu today.

"Brother Hou, you have met a nobleman!"

When the wife heard that her son would be able to study and become an official in the future, she was so happy that she left everything else behind and urged her husband to agree quickly.

After this village, there is no such shop.

"Son, we don't want those glory and wealth, our family has enough food to eat, my mother only hopes that you can be safe......" The old mother took her son's palm, just thinking about the family reunion.

"But I don't want to live in this kind of rural village for the rest of my life!"

Early the next morning, Hou Xiaoliu went to the post house to meet Lu Bu.

When he learned that the person in front of him was the general of the dynasty, he kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and said things like he didn't know Taishan.

Lu Bu did not blame, he sent an order to the School Affairs Department yesterday to transfer two hundred elite dead soldiers from the dark department of Bingzhou, and handed these two hundred people into the hands of Hou Xiaoliu, so that he was fully responsible for commanding secret spying and stealing intelligence from various countries.

Hou Xiaoliu left and never came back.

It wasn't until many years later, when Lu Xiao was resting peacefully and preparing to attack the Great Qin Kingdom, that he heard such a legend from the local pirates.

It is said that many years ago, a powerful sea thief suddenly appeared on the sea, he had dozens of huge warships, crisscrossing the sea, plundering and collecting wealth everywhere, and the pirates under his command were also strong.

What is amazing is that this sea thief has the appearance of a Han man, but he speaks an extremely fluent Daqin language, and he has opened up a new great route above the sea.

It's a pity that later, this sea thief was wounded and arrested by the Great Qin State, and executed under the eyes of tens of thousands of people.

In the face of the tens of thousands of onlookers who came to watch, he was not afraid at all, and said loudly before his execution.

Want my treasure?

If you want, then go to the sea and find it, I've put it all there!
