Chapter 848 Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger

Just as Chen Xu and others were swimming in the lake, catching shrimps and fishing, at the dock beside the lake, a group of people also rode horses to the lake and saw more than ten horses tied under the awning. The people looked at each other in surprise, and then walked into the awning to wake up the young man who was dozing off on a reed mat.

"It turned out to be Brother Liu, Cao Dianzhuo and Master Xiao!" The young man opened his eyes in a daze and found that it was a group of hooligans. He immediately got up and bowed.

"Let you watch these fishermen, but you sleep here all day!" Cao Dianyu kicked the young man angrily and said.

"Don't worry, these guys are very honest today!" The young man quickly replied with a wry smile.

"Well, I'll be more restrained these days and don't let these fishermen cause trouble. Whose horses belong to these horses?" Master Xiao nodded and said.

“This is Mr. Xu’s!

"Young Master Xu?"

"It is the fiancée of the county master, the young man who came from Xianyang yesterday!" explained the young man.

"Is it him?" The group of people looked at each other a few times.

"Where did Mr. Xu go?" Liu Zhuan couldn't help asking.

"I went on a boat tour of the lake with Erlang and Sanniang!"

“How long have you been there?”

"About an hour, I guess I'm coming back soon. Hey, look, that's their boat, it's back!" The young man looked at the lake and suddenly pointed at the distance and said.

A few people turned around and saw seven or eight fishing boats flying over the lake several miles away. They saw clearly under the blue waves and blue sky, and there were singing in the wind.

"The sun is about to set in the west, and the Weishan Lake is quiet. I play my beloved earth pipa and sing that moving song..."

The singing sounds from afar, and you can soon see the fishermen on the boat rolling oars, and there are also the noise of lively noise.

"Haha, the ones from Xianyang are indeed different. The song is so strange!" said Xiao Zhuli with a smile.

"I heard that Mr. Xu has a great background. Since that's the case, I need to visit him later. Maybe I can go to Xianyang to open my eyes!" Cao Dianyu said, pulling a cluster of short beards on his chin.

"Haha, I'm just thinking about it, but I didn't expect to meet me!" Master Xiao nodded.

A group of people stood under the pergola and waited for two minutes. Seven or eight fishing boats squeaked and the cables were thrown ashore. Fishermen helped to tie them up. People on the boat also got off the boat one after another. Then someone shouted and brought the fish basket to the boat to pick up fish and shrimps. The busyness seemed to be very excited.

"Thank you all for your hard work, I reward you all this money!" Seeing that several large baskets of shrimps and crabs were all brought ashore, Chen Xu happily began to distribute tips again. Each fishing boat rewarded a brand new Tai Chi Tongbao, which only cheered a group of fishermen.

"Let's go, my sister-in-law hurry back and make delicious dry-pot spicy crabs. There are too few last night and I didn't satisfy my cravings. I need to have a full meal today!" Jiang Chuxing ordered the guards to carry a few baskets of shrimps and crabs and couldn't wait to walk to the pergola.

"The five-spice loach is also quite delicious, but unfortunately it's not easy to catch..." While walking, Chen Xu licked his mouth with a little regret.

"It's not easy to eat loach. Bo put down a few bamboo cages last night. I think I can get three or five kilograms today. I will go back and take them to the county magistrate's mansion later!" Zhou Bo was already very familiar with Chen Xu, Jiang and Chuxing at this time, and said loudly, patting his chest.

"Then I'll have a hard time Brother Zhou, and I'll go to the mansion to have a drink later!" Jiang Chuxing happily climbed Zhou Bo's shoulder and said while walking.

Just as Chen Xu and others walked to the awning to pack up and leave on horseback, several men in civilian uniforms walked out of the awning and bowed together.

"We have met Erlang, Sanniang and Mr. Xu!"

"Oh, it turns out it's Master Xiao, Cao Dianzhu and Liu Zhuanzhu!"

Seeing these people, Jiang Chuxing nodded slightly, and then smiled and introduced to Chen Xu: "My sister-in-law, this one is the chief official Xiao He in the middle, the prison Cao Shen on the left, and the prison officer Liu Ji on the right. These three are all famous people in my Pei County!"

Chen Xu's eyes lit up and looked at several people and bowed, saying, "Good luck, Xu Cheng, you may have heard of it!"

"I dare not, it is a blessing to meet Mr. Xu!" Xiao He, Cao Shen and Liu Bang all quickly bowed.

"Haha, it's indeed a coincidence. Although I have only been here for a day, I have heard of your name. It just happened that I had made a few baskets of fish and shrimp in the lake just now. Why not have a delicious meal together?" Chen Xu said with an excited laugh.

After looking at each other, Xiao He and the other two looked at each other with surprise, bowing together, "Young Master Xu made a warm appointment, we should be more respectful than obedient!"

"Haha, OK, then let's go. Someone in Peixian is not familiar with you. Please help find a good place to drink and chat!"

"Please ask Mr. Xu, there is a dog meat near the east gate of the city. It is close to this. We will be Dongweng to invite Mr. Xu and Erlang Sanniang to eat and drink there!" Liu Bang said with a smile.

"Is it the Butcher Liu said about Butcher Fan?" Jiang Chuxing frowned slightly.

"That's right, Butcher Fan is Ji's brother-in-law, and he is good at stewing dog meat..."

"Are you talking about Fan Kuai?" Chen Xu asked in his heart.

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "It's Fan Kuai, Mr. Xu also knows?"

"Oh, I heard it overwhelmed when I entered the city yesterday. I haven't eaten dog meat for a long time. Please ask the officer Liu to lead the way. Let's go!" Chen Xu nodded with a smile.

After a while, the group of people turned over and horses, gathered together and returned to the city along the main road, and invited Zhou Bo together, Liu Bang and others didn't care.

"Son-in-law, where have you heard of Butcher Fan? Why didn't I hear yesterday?" Jiang Chuxing rode behind Liu Bang and others, and asked in a low voice beside Chen Xu.

"Brother Jiang, don't say too much. This Fan Kuai is not an ordinary person. This time I come to Pei County, don't ask or ask about anything!" Chen Xu whispered.

"It's Chu Xing who is reckless!" Jiang Chuxing was shocked and remembered his father's advice and Chen Xu's identity. He immediately came to his senses and began to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

There are many celebrities following Liu Bang, and Fan Kuai is one of them, and not many people who can end up having a good death.

Looking at Liu Bang, Xiao He, Cao Shen and the other three in front of him, Chen Xu felt a little dazed.

If the characters of the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty were divided into three or six grades based on the history of later generations, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang would definitely be in the first tier and belonged to the top boss among the villains. Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, Chen Pingying, Peng Yuelong, Zhongli, Mei, Xiang Liang and others belonged to the second tier. Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, Xiahou Ying and others could barely be included in the second tier. Other civil officials, military generals and restoration of the Six Kingdoms can only be included in the third tier.

Fan Kuai is a dog slaughterer in history, and is also a relative of Liu Bang. Because Liu Bang did not like farming, his family was not well off and often went to Fan Kuai's house to eat and drink. Fan Kuai was still very good at this lazy brother-in-law, and he had no complaints about him. Later, he followed Liu Bang to rebel against Qin and saved Liu Bang many times in the battle. He was named Marquis of Wuyang for his outstanding contributions.

The small Pei County is hidden and lying on the tiger. I didn’t expect to see so many historical celebrities in one day. Chen Xu was excited and also felt very moved, and he became more and more curious about Liu Bang.

Liu Bang has an ordinary face and does not seem surprising in his words or actions. However, he was able to achieve great achievements in the end with this group of ordinary people, which makes people admire his personality charm, but there are still no signs that can be seen at the moment.

After several miles, a group of people arrived in an instant. After entering the city, they soon arrived at the entrance of a single-family courtyard. There were many open dog skins hanging in the yard, and two big dogs that had just been slaughtered hung on a wooden rack. The mud in the yard was filled with blood, and under the strong sunlight, there were a strong smell of fishy smell and blood. There were countless insects and flies flying around, making people feel dizzy.

Liu Bang didn't say hello, and went off his horse and pushed open the fence gate to greet Chen Xu and others.

Smelling the pungent smell in the air, Chen Xu couldn't help but twitch his face for a few times, and Jiang Chuyue also took out a handkerchief to cover her nose with a pale face.

"Don't blame Mr. Xu and Sanniang, the backyard is much cleaner and more refreshing!" After watching Chen Xu and others dismount, Liu Bang quickly smiled and led a group of people through a small door and walked into the backyard.

The backyard was indeed much cleaner. There were several pickled dog legs hanging under a pergola, and a reed mat was placed under a huge mulberry tree. A man with a naked upper body, barefoot and a bearded and lush chest was lying on the reed mat, snoring sounded.

"Brother, get up quickly, there is a noble man!" Liu Bang quickly stepped forward and woke up the man, and whispered a few words. The confused man quickly got up and rubbed his eyes with a rough hand as big as a palm fan and accused him repeatedly.

Liu Bang was very familiar with this place. He brought a few chairs and stools with the big man to invite Chen Xu and others to sit down. Then the big man carefully clasped his fists and said, "Young Master Xu Erlang Sanniang, please sit down for a while. Today, two big dogs happened to be slaughtered. I asked my wife to cook them now!"

After the big man finished speaking, he shouted at the room with a few sounds, and soon walked out a young woman in a velvet skirt, about twenty years old, and was holding a naked baby in her arms who seemed to have not yet weaned.

Looking at the group of people who suddenly arrived, the young woman was a little frightened. She glared at Liu Bang and the man with dissatisfaction and then placed the child in her arms in a hanging basket under the mulberry tree. Then she turned to the kitchen. After the man also accused him, he went to the front yard to pick up a killed dog and entered the kitchen. Soon the sound of chopping meat in the kitchen sounded, and occasionally a few low complaints and the man's impatient scolding came.

The baby placed in the hanging basket was waving his hands and feet, which immediately attracted Jiang Chuyue's gaze. She walked to the hanging basket and started teasing the baby to play. Liu Bang was busy greeting him and soon brought a pot of tea and a few pottery cups. A group of people sat under the mulberry tree and started drinking tea and chatting. The remaining guards and boys were also sitting on the floor of the pergola and drinking water to cool off.
