Liu Ji suddenly stood up, his face darkened because of this. He has always liked to make friends, and he knew all the people from all walks of life. He also heard from merchants who come and go to exchanges that it was written by the strange man Zhuo Cao. The escort agency provides personnel to help merchants transport goods and make profits.

He also heard about Zhuo Cao's deeds.

Not to mention the distance, Peixian has begun to promote paper use. Post notices, ordinary documents, law books... all of them have started to use paper. Not long ago, he used a few pieces of paper because he used his butt, but the old Ru pointed at his nose and scolded him. He had never been angry with this bird, so he snatched the old Ru's crown and hat and urinated in public.

It was very pleasant to wipe his butt with paper, which was as good as silk, and the paper was from Zhuocao. Liu Bang wanted to make friends with such a talented person early on. Unfortunately, he is the pavilion chief now and has not been approved by his superiors, so he cannot leave the county without reason.

"What's the foot?"

Soon a young man came on a horse.

Liu Ji looked at the young man with a surprised face. This horse was worth dozens of gold and was wearing a date-colored mane. He was strong and fat. He could tell at a glance that he was an endurance type.

After all, he was also the pavilion leader, and there was not even a slow horse to carry. Someone had offered him 3,000 yuan before, but he had no money. Even if he had the money to buy it, he could not bear the cost of raising horses in the future. As the pavilion leader, he had 3,000 yuan a year. But he basically used this money to eat, drink and have fun. He belonged to the Moonlight clan, so he still had no extra money in his forties.

Look at the escort agency, ordinary escorts can have military force!

"I am the head of Sishuiting, and Liu's name is Ji. What's the foot of my foot?"

In fact, at his current age, even if he calls himself an old man, there is nothing wrong with it. Many Confucian scholars in their thirties regard themselves as an old man. However, Liu Jiren is still young. Don’t look at him in his forties now, and he cheated the child of malt candy for eating a few years ago.

"Wild Grass Escort Agency, Escort Ji Bu."

"I'm lucky to meet you, I wonder what's wrong with Mr. Ji?"

"Buben wants to requisition this pavilion, but since the pavilion chief has official duties, he will not disturb him much. I would like to ask, is there a restaurant nearest to this place? Where is it?"

"Walk three miles south here, there is a Wang Ma and Wu Fu wine shop. I often give you some wine. Especially Wu Fu, although he is a little older, he still has charm. Occasionally, he can still take advantage of him by getting drunk, hehe..."

After he finished speaking, the rest of the corvee service were smirking.

Obviously, this Wu Fu is quite famous locally.

An old bachelor like Liu Ji is better off taking advantage of others. If you have nothing to do, you will be satisfied with taking advantage of some oil. If you want to take advantage of the wine, it is definitely better for Wang Ma’s family. But in terms of appearance and charm, Wu Fu directly threw Wang Ma’s wife out more than a dozen streets. When he wants to drink, he goes to Wang Ma’s restaurant. But if he wants to take advantage of it, he will go to Wu Fu.

"Brother Ji?!"

When Liu Ji heard the familiar voice, even though he was shaking.

Through the heavy snow of goose feathers, I vaguely saw Liu Bo riding a horse.

"Big...Big brother?!"

Liu Bang's eyes suddenly turned red, and he walked forward in shock, staring at Liu Bo incredible. Among all his brothers and sisters, the one he respected the most was Liu Bo. As the eldest brother, Liu Bo has always taken good care of him. When he caused trouble several times, Liu Bo paid and helped him. For his free meal every now and then, Liu Bo never gave him a look, and he was very welcome every time.

Unfortunately, his elder brother joined the army three years ago. Since then, he has basically only had letters. Suddenly there was no news a few months ago, and Liu Ji was also quite worried. Someone who was rude and said that his elder brother might have died at the hands of the Huns. He was so angry that he beat him up on the spot.

"Ha ha!"

Liu Bo jumped down from the army and hugged Liu Ji excitedly. The two brothers had not met for more than three years. After seeing Liu Bo come back alive, Liu Ji was also very excited.

"Why are you back, brother?"

After calming down, Liu Ji couldn't help but be surprised. He heard that the war in the north was in a tight position, and Liu Bo was clearly in the army, so how could he come back early?

"It's all the lieutenant who helps."

"Prince?"

It happened that the carriage was parked in front of Sishui Pavilion at this moment.

The curtain was opened, and Zhuo Cao walked out in a coat. Zhuo Yu opened the umbrella next to him to block the wind and snow for Zhuo Cao. Zhuo Cao's health has improved a little these days, but his head is still a little dizzy. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Zhuo Cao smiled thoughtfully.

This is Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, who was later generations!

Unfortunately, he is still the leader of Sishui Pavilion.

"Liu Ji, the head of Sishui Pavilion, has met Zuo Shucheng!"

Liu Ji still has this little bit of vision.

The only lieutenant mentioned by Liu Bo is Zhuo Cao, the chief guard of the army.

"No need to be polite." Zhuo Cao waved his hand and continued, "Bo Liu, I have sent you to Zhongyangli, and the two of you and your brothers have met again. Next, I have important things to do to go to Pei County, so I won't stay here."

"only!"

"Zhuo Jun..."

Liu Ji wanted to speak but stopped, but stopped again.

“What?”

"Does Zhuo Jun want to attend the banquet?"

"You're smart."

Liu Ji naturally heard about the birthday party of Mr. Lu.

Seeing Zhuo Cao coming here from all over the place, I guess it was because of this.

"Thank you for your praise."

"In fact, that's not the only one."

"Forehead?"

Zhuo Cao waved his hand, too lazy to say anything. He just met Liu Ji, because he knew he would meet again next time.

Seeing the convoy leaving again, Liu Ji had not moved a step for a long time.

"How did the eldest brother know him?"

"I suffered a severe blow at that time, and the military Chinese medicine doctor Bu was helpless. I thought I would die. Fortunately, at the last moment, the Duwei brought the Duwei to the wounded camp, and my life was given by the Duwei. After the Northern Expedition was postponed, the Duwei knew that I didn't want to go to the battlefield again, so I made an exception to take me back early. I would like to find an opportunity in the future and thank the Duwei."

Liu Ji nodded thoughtfully.

Some things are still not believed if you don’t witness them with your own eyes. Especially these days, rumors spread faster than true stories. Who knows the truth? Now it seems that Zhuo Cao is really as kind as the rumor. Liu Ji believes that he has come into contact with many officials, and it is rare for Zhuo Cao to be like that.

"Brother, I still have official duties. I will come back after I send the person to the county town. Then we have a good drink."

"Okay, I'll go back and see Mom."

The two brothers said goodbye, and Liu Bang turned around.

"Two and three sons, you have to hurry up and leave."

He had to hurry up and get things done and then go back to Pei County to attend a banquet.

Lu Gong’s birthday banquet is so important that he cannot miss it.

...

...

Ji Bu bought several jars of fine wine from the wine shop. The price was fair, and it cost about 200 yuan. Zhuo Cao took two sips while it was hot, and the taste was only average, with inexplicable sourness.

"Old donkey, do you recognize this Liu Ji?"

"Of course I know."

"You know?"

"Um."

"Then why didn't you go down and say hello?"

"Ahem, I'm all for Zhuo Jun."

“???”

Lu Ze sighed, "He used to be a wanderer and had a relationship with me. Later, when I moved to Pei County, I was very interested in making friends with him, so I met him naturally. But don't underestimate him just the head of the pavilion. In fact, this person will become a great man in the future. He has a well-known local reputation and has many friends who have known all kinds of religions, such as the local royal family, Yongchi Wangling, who is also very close to him."

"So what does it have to do with me?"

Zhuo Cao knew who Liu Bang was. He was black-bellied and thick-skinned, free and unruly by nature, and had a lot of friends from both black and white. Even if he was sent to future generations, Liu Bang would definitely be able to eat.

"Zhuo Jun must not refuse to admit his account!"

"What account do I admit?"

Zhuo Cao was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Does this have anything to do with him?

"He had met my sister E-Ye, and fell in love with her at first sight, and wanted to see her in my name many times. However, I considered that Zhuo Jun was also interested in E-Ye, so I refused him. If I met again, Liu Ji was afraid that he would also mention this matter again, so Ze avoided him."

“…”

"Zhuo Jun is responsible!"

"I tm..."

Lu Ze clearly pretended to be stupid!

At the beginning, he mentioned Lu Zhi just to scare him, which means that he knew Lu Ze's identity and even knew his wealth. As a result, Lu Ze pretended to be stupid and insisted on saying that he had ideas about Lu Zhi. It was obviously a false thing, but what he said was the same as the real one.

Zhuo Cao also found it strange during this period. After all, Lu Ze was a strange man in history books. As the eldest son of the Lu family, he was also quite capable and was one of the founding heroes of the Western Han Dynasty. However, due to the Lu Rebellion, many of his military achievements were erased. Although Shigong Taishi did not give him a separate biography, he mentioned his name and deeds many times in the Records of the Grand Historian.

No matter how capable he has, he is definitely not a fool if he can lead troops to fight. But he is pretending to be stupid again and again, which is obviously beneficial.

Lu Ze is not stupid, he is purely relying on Zhuocao!

In terms of power and talent, wouldn’t Zhuo Cao hang Liu Ji up and beat him up?
