Chapter 82: The Union of Yong and Liu (2)
Chapter 82: Yong and Liu (2)
Sure enough, Yong Er's flattery smile was not angry at Liu Bang's rude shouting.
"Liu Ji, my master wants to invite you to drink, I wonder if I can enjoy my face?"
Liu Bang and Lu Wan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, "The sun is coming out to the west today. So many people want to invite me to drink? Go, why not? Since someone treats you, if you don't go, you're going to have a problem with your head... Let's lead the way."
Yong Er was not angry at all when he scolded a dog.
Turning around and leading the way, Liu Bang and Lu Wan followed behind, and several members of the Yong family followed silently.
Lu Wan sobered up, "Brother, Yong Chi has never dealt with us. For no reason, why should we invite us to drink?"
"Hey, don't you know if you go?"
Liu Bang sneered, "It just so happens that I have some calculations to calculate with him. Last year, he asked that fool Lu Ze to use my name and instigate people to find Liu Kan. Damn, is my name so easy to use? Just settle it with him.
Wan, don’t be afraid.”
"I'm afraid of him a bird!" Lu Wan's face turned red and she said viciously: "He dares to be tempted, so I cut his bird and stuffed it into his mouth."
"That's right. What's the matter with just Yongchi?"
The group came to Yongchi's residence in Nancheng, led by Yong Er, and went directly to the garden and climbed a pavilion.
There are two food tables placed in the pavilion, and Yong Chizheng pours and drinks by himself.
Liu Bang pulled Lu Wan, sat on the food desk opposite Yongchi without saying a word, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine.
"Lao Yong, what's wrong with me? Tell me quickly."
Liu Bang still looked lazy and said carelessly: "I'm very busy. The butcher cooked a dog at home, waiting for me."
The implication is: Don’t mess with me, otherwise Fan Kuai won’t spare you.
Yong Chi frowned slightly, "Liu Ji, my fellow villagers in the countryside, I just invite you to drink, why bother so nervous?"
Liu Bang sneered, "Nervous? You see that I'm nervous with your eyes? Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and talk about the serious business."
Yongchi originally planned to control the rhythm, but Liu Bang's tired look made him suddenly confused.
After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand to signal the families who were serving in the pavilion to withdraw, leaving only Yong Er to wait beside him.
"Since that's the case, I won't talk nonsense!"
Yong Chi felt so depressed. Why did he never take the initiative every time he talked to Liu Bang? He originally wanted to show the style of the Chu nobles and shock Liu Bang. Now, it's good that when he saw his tired look, Yong Chi was in no mood.
"I heard about the afternoon incident!"
Yong Chi said: "Liu Ji, although we are not in the same way, we are born and raised in Pei County. Do you think so?"
Liu Bang's eyes flipped, "I am, you are not!"
In one sentence, Yongchi was so choked that he didn't know what to say.
There was a hint of anger in his heart, but he really didn't dare to attack Liu Bang. He could only force himself to smile and signal Yong Er to pour wine.
"Speaking of this, you are older than me, and you are my brother of Yongchi."
Liu Bang suddenly sneered, "I don't dare to be the word "brother". The closer you are these days, the easier it is to be fooled."
After blocking Yongchi's mouth one after another, Yong Er was dissatisfied, "Liu Ji, what are you doing? My master kindly invited you to drink, how could you speak like this?"
"Why can't I speak like this!" Liu Bang sneered, his bearded hair was bulging, and he looked at him glaringly, "Yong Chi, what should you say about the matter of instigating Lu Ze to take my name last year? It's so scheming. I'm fighting with Liu Kan, will you profit from it again?
That's how you treat your brother? If that's the case, I won't dare to be your brother!"
Yongchi suddenly showed an embarrassment and looked at Liu Bang, not knowing what to say.
In fact, after Liu Bang returned to Pei County, he waited for Liu Bang to come and ask for punishment. But unexpectedly, Liu Bang seemed to be fine and ignored him at all. After a while, he forgot about this matter. Now that Liu Bang mentioned it, Yong Chi was a little at a loss.
Damn it, it’s obviously my territory, why did he get the upper hand?
Yong Chi took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Liu Ji, that matter is indeed my fault. I have always wanted to apologize, but I have too many things to do, so I can't take care of it. Let's do this, I'm willing to give ten taels of gold, and I'm just apologizing, is it okay?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and signaled Yong Er to get the money.
It's a trivial matter, as long as you collect my money, you can't help but point fingers.
After a while, Yong Er walked over with ten taels of gold cakes and placed them in front of Liu Bang. Lu Wan's eyes lit up.
Liu Bang glanced at him and smiled.
He raised his hand and picked up a tael of gold and threw it to Lu Wan.
"I know who I, Liu Ji, are. I know whether it is worth so much gold. I know it in my heart. Take the rest back and talk about it seriously!"
Yongchi was stunned and looked at Liu Bang in surprise.
Liu Bang was impatient, "If you don't say it, do you? If you don't say it, I'll leave!"
"Brother Liu, wait!"
The word "brother" was revealed, and the advantage that Yongchi should have disappeared suddenly, "Brother Liu, do you want to watch Liu Kan and continue to show off his power in Pei County?"
The indifferent smile on Liu Bang's face gradually disappeared!
Yong Chi said: "You and my brother, no matter what misunderstandings were, it was their own business after all. Although I, Yong, are also an outsider, my father has been settled in Pei County for many years. After all, I can be considered half a Pei person.
Now, you and I are being pressed on the head by an outsider.
When others talk about Pei County, they must first talk about Sishui Huadiao, and then Liu Kan. Brother Liu, are you willing to be suppressed by a boy?"
Liu Bang looked indifferent, "That's because he has the ability, what does it have to do with me?"
He sells his Sishui flower carvings, and I am my local snake. The two have nothing to do with each other, so what do I want or not?
Lao Yong, if you look for me just for this, I am not interested. Thank you for this drink today, I will ask you back in the future!"
After saying that, Liu Bang got up and was about to leave.
Yong Chi was anxious, "Liu Ji, why has this matter nothing to do with you? Think about it, when that kid didn't come, everyone was around you. But now? Zhou Chang ran over, Shen Shiqi and Tang Li ran over, and that stupid boy Cao Wushang also developed with him... Didn't you see that Ren Ao and Cao Shen are hesitating now, even Fan Kuai and Xiahou Ying..."
This sentence hit Liu Bang's key point.
"What's wrong with Fan Kuai and Xiahou?"
Yong Chi said: "Fan Kuai and Xiahou also praised him! Also, Mr. Xiao He, don't Mr. Xiao He often praise him?
If this continues, how many people can you stay with you?
Hehe, maybe in the end, even Lu Wan will run over... Brother Liu, is it possible that you will be a local snake alone?"
"You talk nonsense, I won't be with that bastard!"
Lu Wan was furious and stood up and pointed at Yongchi and cursed: "Old Yong, don't provoke the relationship between me and my elder brother. My elder brother and I were born on the same year, month and the same day, and I will never betray this life. If you dare to say such provocative words again, I will never give up."
"Haha, why bother to be angry? Lu Wan, I'm just an example... But who can tell the future of things? When that kid first came, who would have thought that he would have achieved what he has today? This man always likes to go to a higher place, right?"
Liu Bang pressed Lu Wan tightly and stared at Yong Chi with his eyes narrowed.
"Brother, I will never betray you."
"Wan, you also said that we were born on the same day of the same year, month and day, and we had a thirty-eight years of friendship. If I don't believe you, who else should I believe?"
With just this sentence, Lu Wan's eyes were red with emotion.
Liu Bang was really moved by Yong Chi! He could gain a foothold in Pei County because of this group of brothers. Although Xiao He did not admit it, when he claimed to the public that Xiao He was his subordinate, did Xiao He not stand up to refute it?
Connections are the foundation for him to base himself in Pei County.
Without Fan Kuai, without Xiahou Ying, and Zhou Bo, he was nothing.
Liu Bang was very clear about this, and at the same time, Yongchi's words did touch the string in his heart.
It would be fine if Shen Shishi Cao Wushang... Anyway, he never looked at him. But Tang Li and Zhou Chang were different, especially Tang Li, who had a rant with Liu Bang before Liu Kan came. But now, he was like a stranger.
There are also Cao Shen and Ren Ao...
Liu Bang was secretly surprised, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, falling into deep thought.
After a long time, he suddenly raised his head, "Lao Yong, let's not talk nonsense. It's okay to cooperate, but I want to know your plan."
After hearing Liu Bang's words, a happy smile appeared on Yongchi's face.
