Destiny Only Han

Chapter 331 No.20 Three Zhang Liu Ying: A bald head emerges from the crowd! (The monthly pass will be invalid if you don’t vote again!)
In the north of Lu County, hundreds of armored cavalry marched slowly, guarding a four-wheeled carriage with a low-key appearance but a luxurious interior.

In the carriage, Liu Ying was lying on Lu Ze's shoulder, holding a letter in her hand: "Han Xin, this is floating..."

Lu Ze raised his eyebrows, although he wanted to push him aside, but when he thought that this was his own nephew, he endured it and said softly: "You can't think so, what if King Chu is really sick? "

Liu Ying nodded, agreed from the bottom of her heart and said, "My father is still right. When it's time to act, act. It's too late. Qingmei becomes a wife..."

Wife is actually a plus item.

Of course, Deng Tong will still leave his fish-lipped Oudou...

Although Lu Ze on the side didn't know what Qingmei meant, he could still hear what Liu Ying wanted to express from the whole sentence.

So, in the slowly moving carriage, Liu Ying's dry howls sounded like killing a pig.

"It hurts...Uncle, I was wrong..."

In the farmland on both sides of the road, a shirtless man with a shaved head, a collar around his neck, and dressed as a slave took a deep look at the sounding carriage, and then cast his gaze over at the armored horse of his subordinates. Before, bend over to pull weeds again.

After the convoy had gone away, he straightened up and talked to himself.

"Uncle?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this carriage is Lu Ze... Hehe, King Lu's carriage."

"Lu Ze has two younger sisters, and the younger one is said to have just gotten engaged, so the one who calls uncle in the car must not be her son..."

"Then, the person in the car must be the son of Liu Bang and Lu's elder sister, the Prince of Han Liu Ying!"

"My God, the opportunity has finally come!"

So he threw away the weeds in his hands and strode out of the farmland.

Wherever he passed, except for some slaves who were also pulling weeds in the field, the field supervisors in the field who were holding whips and the young men in silk all turned a blind eye.

The reason is simple. Although this man is dressed as a slave, he is not a real slave.

His true identity is the former General of the Chu Army.

Jibu!

In the Battle of Chen County, the Chu army was defeated. Although Xiang Yu gathered his troops and continued to retreat southward, many soldiers of the Chu army did not follow his footsteps.

Ji Bu is one of them.

At that time, Xiang Yu led the brigade to break through to the south. Ji Bu, who was on the flank, was scattered by the Langzhong cavalry, and lost contact with the Chu army brigade. As a last resort, he had to break out in the opposite direction.

And when it came time for the decisive battle at Gaixia, Liu Bang led the Eight-Nation Allied Forces composed of seven kings... The allied forces of the princes surrounded Xiang Yu, and hundreds of thousands of troops ran for hundreds of miles. Dare to rely on the past.

Xiang Yu was defeated and committed suicide, and the last hope of the Hundred Thousand Chu Kingdom was either killed or captured by the coalition forces. Seeing that there was no way to recover, Ji Bu could only disband the army and go their separate ways.

After failing to find Ji Bu's trace in Gaixia, Liu Bang directly issued a reward order.

If you catch Jibu, you will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold; those who harbor Jibu will be from the Yi tribe!
But not everyone is open to money. In the wilderness, there are countless ordinary and great people who give up their lives for the word "righteousness".

For example, the Puyang Zhou family.

He knew that with his own strength, he could only protect Ji Bu for a while, but not for the first time, so he dressed Ji Bu as a slave and sent him to the family of Zhu, a ranger from Lu County.

Thus, Ji Bu had the dual identities of slave and guest.

The former is naturally to hide their whereabouts, while the latter is equivalent to forming a special connection with the Zhu family.

Guest Rights.

Well, in fact, not only Western or nomadic cultures have guest rights.

To put it simply, the guest's right means that the host has the responsibility to provide the guest with food and accommodation free of charge, to protect the personal safety of the guest, let alone to murder the guest.

At the same time, the guests must ensure that when a battle occurs in the host's house during their stay, the guests must fight for the host.

This relationship is an ancient moral code shared by all human societies around the world, and it has even been used to this day.

The source of guest rights is the public ownership and group marriage system in primitive society. In a primitive society where supplies are scarce, there is no concept of private ownership at all, and there is no concept of individuals and others.

Everything acquired is shared by everyone and distributed equally within the tribe. When a guest enters the tribe, he temporarily becomes a member of the tribe.

In the state of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were even "guests and wives serving each other."On the eve of marriage, there is no difference between men and women, but it is a custom to be proud of it, that is to say, when guests come to the house, the female relatives have to sleep with the guests...

The guest system in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods is also a continuation of this custom.

For example, Han Xin, every day when it was time to eat, he went to the pavilion chief’s house to grab a meal. After several months, he was run away by the pavilion chief’s wife who finally couldn’t stand it...

The same is true of Liu Bang... He has hated it for a lifetime.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people at that time, it was only right and proper to eat and drink for nothing when the guests came.

Another example is that during the Hongmen banquet, Xiang Bo got up to stop Lengtou Qing Xiangzhuang, because Liu Bang came to the banquet, which was equivalent to Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo's guests.

If Liu Bang died at the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo would stop messing around in the rivers and lakes...

Well, there is Yuanhe Ernian...

....................................

Lu County, Zhu's old house.

When the night was getting late, Ji Bu sneaked in from the street.

Although Zhu Jiaguang has land property, but because of his generous character, the family has no money other than the farmhouses and houses left by the ancestors.

So the whole house was pitch black.

Ji Bu walked into Zhu's bedroom in the dark, but he didn't see the Zhu family himself.

Just when he felt a little disappointed and wanted to leave, Tian Zhong, the adoptive son of the Zhu family, walked out from the ear room and bowed to salute: "Mister, are you looking for my father?"

Tian Zhong is a knight-errant in the state of Chu. Because he admired the Zhu family, he served the Zhu family as his father and was willing to become the adopted son of the Zhu family.

Ji Bu nodded, but didn't say much.

According to his current status, he needs to have as few entanglements with others as possible, so that if he is captured by the government, the Zhu family may be exonerated.

Tian Zhong didn't take it to heart at all, the so-called knight-errants are anxious for others' needs, and go to the plight of soldiers, what they value is loyalty and reputation, life and death are not important at all.

He whispered: "Sir, please be safe and don't be impatient. Father has already left for Luoyang a few days ago to excuse him. It won't take long for him to return to the sun."

Ji Bu nodded again, then turned around and left slowly after returning the gift.

In his heart, he actually firmly believed that the Zhu family could save him, but at this moment a god-sent opportunity was in front of him, so naturally he should not miss it.

Although Liu Ying, the prince of the Han Dynasty, was young, he had a good reputation over the years. He was kind and tolerant, benevolent and loving, especially his name was circulated in the rivers and lakes.

Lord Xinling!

If you can join Liu Ying's sect, you will definitely be able to get rid of the predicament at this time!
Well, didn't Liu Bang say that the three tribes of Yi were hiding?
Let's see how he does it then!
For a while, although he was on the run, Ji Bu still had a narrow smile on his face.

......................................................

Jibei County, Boyang (now Tai'an City, Shandong).

While the candle was flickering, Liu Ying sat cross-legged on the futon, holding a peach that was not much smaller than his face, and gnawed it dripping with juice.

In front of him, there were piles of Polygonatum and Comfrey, as well as gigantic Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum.

These are the main reasons why he forced Lu Ze to stay here.

These valuable things in later generations are almost completely half-sold and half-gifted at this moment, rounding up is equal to free money!

Moreover, this is really pure natural, pollution-free!

Therefore, compared with these things, climbing Mount Tai to watch the sunrise and eating the giant wild fish sent by Peng Yue on the pole are completely worthless.

Well, the main reason for not climbing Mount Tai is that he is lazy...

Between the clicks, a big peach fell down.

Liu Ying licked her lips and touched her belly, thinking she could eat another one.

It's just that the moment he stretched out his hand, his whole body tensed up suddenly, and he shrank back desperately.

Outside the window that was opened to enjoy the shade, a vague figure flashed past, and was never seen again!
With such a nimble and elegant body style, he is definitely not a thief or a patrolling soldier!
Yes, there are ghosts!
For a while, Liu Ying thought of many ghost stories she had heard, and made herself tremble with fright.

But before he gave up his dignity and called Lu Ze to sleep with him, the whole room suddenly became much brighter.

"The sinner, Ji Bu, has met His Royal Highness..."

Under the flickering candlelight, a kneeling figure appeared in front of Liu Ying.

Um?It turned out to be a human... Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly widened her eyes.

Jibu?

Could it be that Ji Bu who promises money?

What did he come to see me for?Well, yes, he is a wanted criminal now... Liu Ying nodded silently, vaguely guessing something in her heart, but she didn't reveal anything on her face.

He asked knowingly, "You say you are a sinner? What is your crime?"

Ji Bu was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "You shouldn't help the Overlord and fight against the King of Han..."

Liu Ying shook her head: "What kind of crime is that? The two armies are at war, and each is the master... Besides, there are countless Han officials in the Chu army. If it is a crime to be an official under Xiang Yu, how many people will be killed?" man!"

Ji Bu raised his head and stared at Liu Ying for a long time, his heart was shocked like a stormy sea.

Although he thought this was an opportunity, to be honest, he was also full of apprehension.

After all, whether it is Liu Bang's place where the Zhu family went, or Liu Ying's place, the initiative is in the hands of the other party.

People are knives and I am fish.

But the reason why he chose to take a risk at Liu Ying's place was that the former would implicate Zhu's family, while the latter would only kill him alone.

Now, it seems that he is worrying too much.

Mr. Xiao Xinling is worthy of his name!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Ying asked softly, "You came here to scare people at night just to say that you are a sinner?"

Ji Bu suddenly prostrated himself on the ground: "Bu, I wish to take shelter under the prince's door..."
