Chapter 367 The old lady(1/3)
Liu Taozi's family does not live in the General's Mansion.
The general's mansion was still used for office work, and Gao Jun found a separate house in the south of the city to house the general's family.
Liu Taozi led Hei Feng and came here on foot.
The house is not too luxurious, but the walls are tall enough. At the entrance of the alley outside the walls, you can see heavily armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.
At the main gate facing the street, there were also several majestic soldiers standing.
When they found someone coming, they hurried forward to salute.
Liu Taozi nodded, and the soldier stepped forward to take the reins from Liu Taozi's hand. Heifeng was a little irritable and shook his head. Liu Taozi patted his neck, and Heifeng did not continue to resist.
Liu Taozi led everyone into the courtyard.
A long road stretches all the way from the gate, leading straight to the backyard.
There are many houses on both sides, but most of them are empty.
There were also some warriors in the courtyard. When they saw Liu Taozi arriving, they all bowed and saluted.
Liu Taozi continued to walk forward, and just after passing the front yard, she heard shouts coming from inside.
After opening the door, he saw a large open space with many wooden targets standing around. Xiao Wu was riding a horse and holding a big bow. He was circling around the open space at the moment. The arrows in his hand kept shooting out, hitting the center.
Those wooden targets.
Xiao Wu suddenly noticed his brother's appearance. He quickly reined in his horse, hung his bow on the saddle, and rushed towards Liu Taozi.
"Brother!!"
Liu Taozi looked at him for a moment.
Xiao Wu grows up very fast, and he is very strong among his peers.
Liu Taozi looked at the wooden targets and said, "Have you started practicing riding and shooting?"
"Yes, brother, why did you come back suddenly?"
"My mother said that you won't be able to come back until at least night, saying that you have many things to do."
"There is nothing to be busy with. Where is mother?"
“In the backyard!!”
Xiao Wu quickly stood on tiptoes and looked in the direction of the backyard, "Mom! Big brother is back! Big brother is back!"
Liu Taozi stood beside him, stretched out her hand to rub his head, and walked quickly to the backyard.
Xiao Wu followed him with a smile, his eyes twinkling, "Brother, is there still a shortage of people in the Mandrill Camp?"
"Can I go?"
"Now I can ride and shoot, wear armor, and read!"
"Mandrill Camp does not accept anyone under the age of seventeen."
"Ah? Does the Lingzhou Military Government want anyone? I heard that they are fighting with the Zhou people there every day."
"You are still too young. You need to be a few years older."
"oh"
Xiao Wu was a little disappointed.
The door to the backyard was opened, and Mrs. Liu Zhang walked out quickly with a noble face. Her eyes were directly fixed on Liu Taozi. She couldn't see anything but him, and she walked over quickly.
"peach!"
"mom."
As soon as Liu Taozi lowered her head, Mrs. Liu Zhang began her habitual groping to make sure her peach was not harmed.
Mrs. Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her peach was intact and there was no trace of injury.
"I dreamed a few days ago that you were bitten by a big fish. I was so flustered that I didn't dare to sleep for several days."
As Liu Zhang spoke, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"I can spend more time with you from now on and won't go anywhere else."
Just as Liu Taozi was talking, someone suddenly stood up from among the maids behind Liu Zhang.
She was a young girl, but she was dressed very maturely, like a woman.
She has a snow-white complexion, pure eyes, and dark brown hair. Standing next to Liu Zhang, she looks like a frightened rabbit, looking particularly uneasy and not daring to look directly into Liu Taozi's eyes.
Her voice was also very low and couldn't be heard clearly at all.
"Hulvwan meets her husband"
For the first time, a dazed and confused look appeared on Liu Taozi's face.
He slowly looked at Liu Zhang who was standing aside.
Mrs. Liu Zhang laughed and said, "This is the daughter of General Hulu's family. We made a marriage contract very early, and the deadline has just come, so I will help you handle this matter. General Hulu is not a pedantic person."
, knowing that these are troubled times, many etiquette can be saved.”
Mrs. Liu Zhang stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Hu Luhan's shoulder. Hu Luhan was startled and slowly lowered her head.
Liu Taozi was silent for a long time.
"I see."
Mrs. Liu Zhang smiled and whispered a few words to the woman. Hu Luwan nodded, turned and left.
Liu Taozi waited until the other party left, then asked: "Why?"
"You issued a message in the south. Hu Luguang and Hu Lüxian were both leading troops. How could you rest assured? I sent someone to contact Hu Luguang and talked about the marriage. Hu Luguang was also uneasy. When he learned of my proposal,
Agree immediately
.You are still in too much of a hurry to publish that appeal. Why don't you wait until you return to Pingcheng before publishing it? Many people don't know about it at all. When they suddenly see your appeal, they are so frightened that they don't know how to deal with it.
"
"Let's talk after we get inside."
They walked into the backyard.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a person sitting under the shade of a tree on the left. He was sitting on the ground with many wine bags beside him, giving off a smell of alcohol.
Liu Taozi looked at him and walked in front of him in a few steps.
Liu Taozhi slowly raised his head and looked at him.
"Domestic ban on alcohol."
Liu Taozi said.
"Oh, with this law, why didn't Mr. Liu arrest me and send me to the official?"
Liu Taozi looked at Xiao Wu who was standing aside, "Go and put away the wine bags."
Xiao Wu looked at his brother timidly, and then at Liu Taozhi.
Liu Taozhi stood up unsteadily and looked at Liu Taozi angrily, "Why, it's not enough that you have no father and no king, and you also want to lead your brother into evil?
"Alcohol is prohibited in the country? Which country is it in?!"
"Han Kingdom."
Liu Taozhi's expression changed drastically, his drinking power disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Liu Taozi in disbelief.
"You have usurped the country?"
"right."
"You you."
Liu Taozhi gasped and clenched his fists, "If there had been no Emperor Shenwu, I would have died on the road. If there had been no Empress Dowager Lou, you would not exist. You are an ungrateful and thief of the country."
Mrs. Liu Zhang stepped forward and said, "Emperor Shenwu's sacrifices are still there. It's not like destroying his temple. How can it be said to be ungrateful to destroy his sacrifices?"
"Let's go into the house first and then we'll talk later."
She coaxed him for a moment, then pulled Liu Taozhi to walk in front, then turned back to signal to Liu Taozi, asking him to stop talking.
The family finally entered the house.
While Mrs. Liu Zhang was persuading Liu Taozhi, Liu Taozi was already sitting in the upper position silently.
Liu Taozhi was not surprised at all, he sat directly opposite Liu Taozi.
The two tigers just stared at each other, neither giving way to the other.
Liu Zhang then asked: "What happened to the Han Dynasty you just mentioned?"
"Oh, the ministers persuaded me to come, and I agreed. Just now, you can see the relevant notice tomorrow. I am now the king of Han. All Hebei belongs to the Han Kingdom, and the Qi Kingdom has been destroyed."
Liu Taozhi's face was dark and ugly.
Mrs. Liu Zhang was not surprised, she said with a smile: "When Zu Jue came to me to ask about the family tree, I had expected it, and it turned out to be true."
