"All the patriarchs have arrived, right? Come on, come on, sit sit down! ”

When Meng Shu and the other clan patriarchs came to the main hall of the Abu clan, Huang Zhong cheerfully beckoned everyone to take their seats. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When Meng Shu and the others came here, although they saw the Yizhou soldiers and the Jiaozhou soldiers outside packing up their own clothes, it seemed that they were preparing to go back to their respective homes, but it would be nonsense to say that there was no anxiety in their hearts because of this. Especially after seeing the almost killing battle of Yizhou soldiers and horses, Meng Shu and their hearts have always been a little afraid of Huang Zhong.

But fear is fear, and what should be said is always to be said, that is, it will be said more carefully: "Old general, are you preparing, preparing to go back?" ”

Huang Zhong laughed and said, "You don't have to be so careful, the old man also knows what you are worried about." Don't worry, before the old man led the army here, the lord repeatedly warned the old man that as long as the war here is over, he will immediately lead the troops to return, so as not to mistakenly think that the lord of my family has the heart to plot the land in the south.

"In fact, the lord sent troops this time, one is to help a group of lords' mutual market partners, and the other is ...... Although Deng Ai, this kid, disobeyed his master's orders, after all, he was a child that the lord had spent a lot of effort to cultivate, and he had not committed any great crimes, how could the lord ignore his life and death? To put it mildly, the apprentice made a mistake, and even if the master wants to clean the door, he should arrest the apprentice back, right? ”

After saying this, Meng Shu and the others felt a little more at ease, and Huang Zhong continued in a timely manner: "The old man invited you to come here, mainly because there are some things to discuss with you. First of all, the lord originally didn't want to get involved in the dispute between your southern and central clans, but now that the battle has been fought, and a big clan with a head and face has been destroyed, if we don't withdraw the army as soon as possible, you may really think that my lord has any ill intentions towards you Nanzhong, so the officers and men of our army will withdraw from Nanzhong after resting for a few days, and the land here will be returned to you. But ......."

A "but" made the hearts of Meng Shu and the others tighten, Huang Zhong laughed a few times, and handed a look to Guo Yi on his side, Guo Yi coughed lightly and stood up, and the belly black fan that he learned from Lu Ren also appeared: "Everyone, the land where we are now is fertile, I heard that the land that was originally the residence of the patriarch of Meng Huo a few decades ago was forcibly occupied by the Abu clan, right?" ”

Meng Shu immediately responded: "That's it! For decades, our tribe has dreamed of reclaiming this land. ”

Guo Yi said: "Now that the Abu clan has been removed, this land should naturally be returned to the patriarch of Meng Huo and your clansmen, but the patriarch of Meng Huo, your clan can return here because of the help of my master's troops, and the master did not want to intervene in the dispute between your south and China, this time the troops were also sent to rescue Senior Brother Deng's helpless move, but in the end, your clan got the land, so should your clan also express it?" ”

Meng Shu was dumbfounded on the spot, and Zhu Rong pulled Meng Shu to make him sit down, and after thinking about it again, he said to Guo Yi: "Brother Guo, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Guo Yi smiled: "Okay, then I'll make it clear." But don't worry, the master doesn't want the land of your southern and central clans, to put it mildly, the master doesn't look down on your land here. However, we have sent troops and fought battles, and we have spent a lot of money, food, and manpower, and the soldiers have a lot of dead and wounded who need to be compensated, so when we go back, it is not too much to bring some souvenirs from you, right? Let's put it this way, it's like you have a fight and ask us to come out to help, since you are asking us to help, then you should always treat us with good wine and meat, do you think this is the truth? ”

After Meng Shu and the others heard these words, they were all relieved in their hearts. In fact, the meaning of Guo Yi's words is very clear, it is nothing more than to bring some loot back when he retires, and this was understandable at that time. You must know that Lu Ren's troops are now absolutely strong, even if they loot this area, it may not be nothing, but now they are discussing with them, which at least gives Meng enough face to them.

So in the second voice of "should, should", Guo Yi continued: "The soldiers of our army are about to return to the army, except for the necessary rations on the way back to the army, the rest of the grain particles will be returned to you." We'll bring it back, but it's just some of your specialties in the South and Central region, do you think this is okay? ”

No one objected. In fact, these people know in their hearts that Lu Ren is really polite to do this. Again, where are the valuable goods in the clans of these tribes now? So to put it bluntly, at this time, it is actually just a post-war distribution of the warehouses of the Abu clan, and Lu Ren's plan to share the spoils seems to be fair and reasonable, and it can even be said that Meng Huo and these people have taken a lot of advantage, how can Meng Huo and these people disagree?

As a result, the following meeting was held in a very harmonious atmosphere. Speaking of which, don't underestimate the warehouse of the Abu clan, this is a big clan of more than 20,000 people, and it has been bullying Meng Shu and others for decades, and the things accumulated are really not a small amount.

The distribution of the spoils was going very happily, and although Meng Shu and the others felt a little painful about the large amount of property and special products that Lu Ren had taken away, they were much better off thinking about the land and sufficient food they had gotten. Besides, there is always a contrast between people, think about the fact that Lu Ren did make so much effort, but in the end he didn't want land, so he had to take more money and special products, isn't it quite fair and reasonable? Therefore, Meng Shu and the others were naturally full of good feelings towards Lu Ren.

Of course, after the stolen goods were divided, he was going to set up a banquet with wine, but at this time, Zhu Rong looked around and couldn't help but ask Guo Yi, "Why isn't Brother Deng here?" ”

Guo Yi's face changed...... Change is change, but in fact, this is a very dark change: "Senior brother, he disobeyed the master's order, and finally caused such a big thing, so he naturally has to be punished, so he is being punished at this time." Later, I will punish him on behalf of the master. ”

"Above, on the punishment!?"

――――――――――――――――――――

After nightfall, Deng Ai's "little black house".

"Teacher, senior brother, it can't really be that I carry this thing, right?"

Guo Yi smiled wickedly, and bounced his fingers on a gray marching pot and said, "There are some things we understand in our hearts, so we won't say so much." You said that now that things have come to this point, if you don't carry this pot, who will carry this pot? Can't I memorize it? ”

It's really big, and the diameter of this marching pot is more than a meter! The weight must be at least more than 30 pounds.

Looking at this cauldron, Deng Ai's face darkened. In fact, Deng Ai also knew that he would definitely have to carry the black cauldron in the end this time, but he didn't expect that Lu Ren would really take the whole marching cauldron to make him carry it. And with Lu Ren's master and apprentice for many years, how can Deng Ai not know that Lu Ren's style of acting at times is simply nonsense, funny, and nonsense?

Looking at Guo Yi with a wicked smile, he moved the marching cauldron in front of Deng Ai with great effort: "Come on, come on, let Senior Brother Ben help you carry this cauldron!" ”

Deng Ai's face darkened: "Senior brother, don't make do with it!" ”

Guo Yi smiled again, but his face was slightly straightened, and he leaned into Deng Ai's ear and whispered, "You kid really think that the master is messing around?" Let me tell you, your kid is out of the limelight in Nanzhong this time, fame and fortune are both taken out and such a little beauty as Shui Ling, but in the end, do you really want the master to escort you back in the whole car? You are already a young hero in front of the Nanzhong clan, but you end up in the threshold car, what will these Nanzhong tribes think? You are sad enough, so that the people of the southern and central tribes feel unworthy of you, but the name of this last wicked person wants the master to memorize it all? ”

"Huh!?"

Deng Ai is not a stupid person, and he only reacted to Guo Yi's reminder. Yes, if Deng Ai sat in the threshold car at this time, then what would Meng Shu and the others think of Lu Ren? After being silent for a long time, Deng Ai smiled helplessly, and also flicked the marching cauldron in front of him, and sighed lightly: "The master is the master in the end, and thinking about things is to be more thoughtful than I think." Okay, just carry it on your back, just carry a sandbag like when you used to learn art. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Without further ado, let's just say that in the next few days, the soldiers and horses of the two states were resting their armies, and Huang Zhong had given strict orders, so there was no offense between him and the southern and central tribes. Not only did the autumn not commit any crimes, but the Yizhou soldiers also seized the time to help these southern and central tribes do a lot of things after resting, so they received a piece of praise from the southern and central tribes.

When it was finally time to set off, Deng Ai walked in the team with a cauldron on his back, and walked in the team very funny, followed by a water spirit girl, who would help Deng Ai wipe the sweat on his cheeks from time to time, which not only made people feel funny, but also made people feel a little envious and jealous in their hearts.

The Mong and his wife and the chiefs of some tribes were also on the team. This was Lu Ren's request, expressing his hope that he would meet with Meng Huo and others again and discuss things about business and trade cooperation. And Meng Shu and the others also felt that they had to meet Lu Ren again, so after arranging the affairs of the clan in these days, they also set off with the team.

It was relatively fast to take the waterway down the river and return to Guangzhou, and on this day the Yizhou troops returned to Guangzhou......

"Patriarch Meng Huo, Mrs. Zhurong, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you all right? ”

Looking for prestige, Meng Huo and the others knelt down in unison: "See Lu Yizhou!" ”

Lu Ren smiled, stepped forward and helped everyone up: "Get up." ”

At this time, Deng Ai separated everyone and came to Lu Ren, knelt down and said, "Disciple Deng Ai, I have seen the master. ”

Lu Ren wanted to reach out to help Deng Ai up at the moment, but he still had to play the trick in front of people. So he deliberately lengthened his face and ignored Deng Ai, and after sweeping his gaze, he asked, "Which is the water spirit girl?" Annoyed to come out and see. (To be continued.) )
