"It smells so good ~ The shop in front must be the best dog meat shop that Gao Yao said.”Yi Xiaochuan saw that there were quite a number of customers in the shop in front of him, so he quickly walked over and sat down at an empty table. He called the strong boss over to serve a plate of fresh dog meat.
"Customer, the best dog meat is here. Please enjoy.”The boss carried a large plate of dog meat and placed it in front of Yi Xiaochuan. As soon as he returned to the stall, a dirty man sat in front of Yi Xiaochuan's table and shouted.
"Fan Kuai, give me another pound of dog meat.”
After saying that, the man frowned as if he had touched a wound. He covered half of his face with one hand and cursed in a low voice,"Sooner or later, I'll make you pay back a hundredfold.”
"Fan Kuai…could he be the founding general of Liu Bang?”Yi Xiaochuan was a little disgusted by the man who was sharing the same table as him, but when he heard Fan Kuai's name, his attention was completely focused on the boss who was cutting meat.
"Yo! A foreigner actually knows me, Liu Bang?”When Liu Bang heard his name being mentioned, he could not help but observe Yi Xiaochuan to confirm that he was not from Pei County.
"You…you are Liu Bang!" Yi Xiaochuan could not help but stand up and look at the filthy beggar in front of him with excitement.
"My name is Yi Xiaochuan. You're the famous…Uh, you stink.”Yi Xiaochuan wanted to get closer, but the stench on his body made him stop. Weird, didn't Liu Bang have the post of chief of the pavilion? How could he live like a beggar?
Liu Bang's face darkened." It's my enemy who caused me to be so smelly," he said coldly.”
Fan Kuai walked over and put down a plate of good dog meat. He rolled his eyes and said,""Isn't it all your own doing? You went to that big inn to eat for free and sold your brothers.”
"Hehehe ~" Liu Bang's face was full of smiles again. He took the big bowl of meat and said vaguely,""Fortunately, I have a true brother like you. You've taken care of me a lot in the past year. Don't worry, I'll remember this kindness.
Fan Kuai ignored him and went back to his stall to continue his business. I can't wait for you to come to my place to eat dog meat every day. Someone will pay double for you. Fan Kuai secretly touched the bulging purse in his arms. He had been disgusted by Liu Bang's freeloading, but now he was very happy.
Yi Xiaochuan suppressed his disgust and cupped his fists at Liu Bang as he apologized sincerely,""Brother Liu Bang, I was rude just now. Please forgive me.”
Yi Xiaochuan felt that today was his lucky day. A great benefactor had appeared in front of him. This was the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty! Now that he's in a down and out period, if I support him, won't I be able to live a carefree life when I become the emperor in the future?
Yi Xiaochuan was different from his family. He didn't like to study history and only knew the basics of the Qin Dynasty. He only knew that Liu Bang would become the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't know what would happen to the brothers who had risked their lives with Liu Bang after they got the world.
Liu Bang stopped eating, stood up, and cupped his fists.""It's fine, it's fine. My current appearance can be said to be detestable. I don't know why you're so polite to me.”
" Because you are…" Yi Xiaochuan suddenly stopped halfway through his excited speech. He was not the Emperor yet, so he had to find another reason.
"Phew ~" Yi Xiaochuan exhaled heavily and calmed himself down before saying with a serious expression,""I'm a good judge of character. When I first saw you, I knew that you'd be successful in the future, so I wanted to be friends with you.”
Liu Bang's eyelids twitched." I noticed that you despised me just now!"
"Yi Xiaochuan, I see that you're younger than me, so I'll call you Xiaochuan.”However, seeing how sincere Yi Xiaochuan was to him, Liu Bang, who had had a rough year, acknowledged him as a friend with a smile on his face, hoping that Yi Xiaochuan could help him share some of his hatred.
"Good! Then I'll call you Brother Liu too." Yi Xiaochuan nodded excitedly and even went to the tavern to buy a jar of good wine.
After buying a jar of good wine, the two of them began to chat. After a few glasses of wine, they quickly looked like they regretted not meeting each other earlier.
……
In the Lu Residence, Gao Yao and Duke Lu were drinking and chatting happily. From time to time, he would spit out a poem that had been passed down from generation to generation to shock Duke Lu. Of course, he had secretly asked Black Ye in the chat group about this poem.
Duke Lu's face was slightly red and slightly drunk. He asked casually,"I wonder if benefactor is married?"
He then added,"I'm just asking casually. I'm sure that benefactor is so outstanding that he probably already has a wife."”
She sighed with emotion." In the past, my family was poor, and I didn't have the time to care about love. Now that I've succeeded in my career, I'm already in my thirties. Which girl would still like me? It can be said that I'm a beautiful woman. My hair has already turned white." What a pity!"
Gao Yao's mood was rather gloomy after he finished speaking. He drank three large cups of wine alone, and his entire temperament seemed particularly melancholic.
The Lu sisters, who were hiding outside the living room and eavesdropping, looked at Gao Yao with infatuation, savoring the poems in their hearts.
Lu Zhi said in a low voice," Sister, he's so talented. I won't marry anyone but him."”
Lu Su didn't say anything. Her eyes, which were full of stars, never left Gao Yao for even a moment. There was no need to say anything. Lu Su's heart already only had him left.
When Duke Lu heard that Gao Yao was still alone, he was delighted and asked,""What do you think of my beloved daughter, benefactor?”
Gao Yao thought for a while and replied," Lu Zhi has an elegant temperament and has the demeanor of a noble housewife. Lu Su has a gentle and quiet personality, like a good wife and mother. Both of them are peerless beauties that can topple a country and a city. Whoever marries them will be truly blessed."”
Outside the living room, Lu Zhi and Lu Su blushed when they heard such praise.
Lu Gong looked at Gao Yao strangely. He only evaluated them but did not say who he liked. It only meant one thing-he did not want to choose. He wanted both.
"Well, look at the scenery outside this hall.”Duke Lu was in a difficult position. He changed the topic and did not continue talking about his daughter.
"The layout of the scene is very, very good." Gao Yao also followed his topic and was not in a hurry.
After three rounds of wine, Gao Yao bid farewell and left. After seeing off the guests, Lu Gong returned to the door and glanced at the beautiful figure who had hurriedly hid in the corner of the living room. He laughed angrily and said,"Zhi 'er Susu, she's already gone. Why are you still hiding? Come here, I want to ask you what you mean to your benefactor.”
Lu Zhi and Lu Su lowered their heads and walked out shyly.
A grown woman can't be kept! When Duke Lu saw that they were all acting bashfully like this bunch of little girls, he sighed in his heart and coughed dryly."I've also probed my benefactor's attitude just now. He doesn't want to make a choice, so I can only ask for your opinions. Are you really willing to marry him together?”
" I want both." Duke Lu shook his head and smiled." My benefactor has a huge appetite."”
Lu Zhi bowed slightly and said softly,"Little sister and I have no other intentions. Everything is up to Father."”
Lu Su nodded.
"I didn't expect my daughter, whom I've raised for more than ten years, to suddenly have her heart stolen away." Lu Gong said sourly.
"But I am still your daughter." Lu Su walked over and hugged his arm coquettishly.
"Yes, yes. Our benefactor lives in Pei County. We can come back to see you anytime.”Lu Zhiyi came behind Duke Lu to massage his shoulders.
You're already thinking of visiting after you get married. Old Master Lu's heart was pierced by his eldest daughter's words. They had not even seen the signs of their birth, yet she was already thinking about life after marriage.
……
Yi Xiaochuan and Liu Bang walked on the street with their arms around each other's shoulders. The people around them retreated one after another, all of them showing disgust towards Liu Bang.
"Little Chuan, this year has been really difficult for me. I'm afraid I'm worse than a dog.”Liu Bang reeked of alcohol, and he looked like he was quite drunk. However, his eyes were not chaotic. Instead, they were very clear as he complained to Yi Xiaochuan.
Yi Xiaochuan said confidently," Brother Liu, you're someone who's going to achieve great things. This year has not been smooth sailing. As long as you get through it, you'll definitely be able to surpass ten thousand people in the coming year."”
" Hahaha!" Liu Bang pretended to laugh but didn't respond to him. He glanced at the few people walking toward him, each carrying a small cloth bag. Xiaochuan, you have to help me share some of my suffering."
With a trembling hand, Liu Bang pointed at the few people who were sneering as they walked over. He said to Yi Xiaochuan with fear,""Little Chuan, my enemy is here. Let's go.”
"Big brother, don't worry. They won't dare to do anything to you today.”Yi Xiaochuan saw that those ruffians did not seem to have practiced martial arts. He was secretly happy and raised his hand to protect Liu Bang behind him. If I beat these people who are targeting Liu Bang away, then my favorability in his heart will definitely be off the charts.
"Brother, are you confident?" Behind him, Liu Bang had quietly retreated a few steps, ready to run at any time.
"Liu Bang! How are you today?"
"Hehehe ~ The gift we prepared for you is not light.”
"Yes, yes, it's really not easy to find so many.”
These people were Liu Bang's brothers who had followed him for many years. Now, they all sneered at Liu Bang, who was hiding behind him.
Yi Xiaochuan looked at them coldly and said,""I don't care what grudge you have with Big Brother. If you leave today, you can avoid a beating.”
The few of them sized up Yi Xiaochuan and confirmed that they had never seen him in Pei County before. Someone mocked Liu Bang in a sarcastic tone.
