The night is like a huge curtain, covering the entire sky. The north wind whizzes past Dulonggang. Under the hill is a vast white land, silent and desolate.

Inside the Zhujiazhuang on the post, the lights were as bright as day, and the continuous torches and lanterns reflected the night sky in a fiery red.

Noisy sounds came from the Zhu family's courtyard. A banquet was held in the courtyard. During the banquet, people exchanged glasses, pushed cups and changed cups, talked cheerfully, and enjoyed themselves happily, but it was not very lively.

After Zhu Biao and the others drank several rounds of wine, he looked slightly tipsy. He sat straight in his seat and looked at the group of big men beside him who were drinking happily. He was slowing down his drinking with a smile on his face. He just sighed in his heart, not knowing what he was doing.

How many times have I sighed.

Straight lady, who said that the alcohol content in ancient times was not high and that it was not intoxicating? Why don't you try it by drinking a few jars at once?

When Zhu Biao was in a trance, an old man's voice suddenly came to his ears, "Sanlang, I'm happy today. Dad will also drink a few bowls with you."

Zhu Biao looked up and saw Xiao Taoyao, dressed in pink, helping Zhu Chaofeng, who was nearly sixty years old, to come to him. Zhu Biao quickly stood up, stepped forward and helped Zhu Chaofeng sit down, rolled his eyes at the little girl, and said: "So

It's late, why did you bring my dad over if you didn't sleep yourself?"

Xiao Taoyao stuck out her pink tongue, took out a crystal-clear candied haws a stick from her back, and said with a smile: "Master, it's not that Taoyao is ignorant, it was Aweng who gave me the candied haws."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he smiled bitterly. This little girl likes to wear pink clothes. She is cute and innocent at her age. She is the "group pet" in Dulonggang. Basically, she can go wherever she goes, as long as she sacrifices her own life.

If your little face is pinched, you can eat the candied haws everywhere.

Zhu Biao did not restrain her. Although she was nominally his personal maid, she had always been treated as his sister.

Zhu Biao kept a straight face and said: "Now that Aweng has been delivered, go back to sleep."

"No, no, no." The little girl shook her head like a rattle and said softly, "I accepted two candied haws from Sister Jin'er to help her with something."

"What did Jin'er ask you to do?"

"Of course it belongs to Sister Zhenniang and Uncle Lin...ah, Taoyao can't say it." Xiao Taoyao exclaimed mid-sentence and covered her mouth with her hands.

Zhu Chaofeng on the side looked at the two of them with joy. He liked Tao Yao from the bottom of his heart and treated her as his granddaughter. He was usually more doting on her than Zhu Biao.

"Okay, let's leave Taoyao here so that she can be Sanniang's companion. It's more appropriate for Jin'er and Xiao Taoyao to handle the affairs between Zhenniang and Coach Lin than you." Zhu Chaofeng

He spoke.

Zhu Biao also nodded when he heard this, pulled the little girl, pointed to the pavilion not far away and said: "Go to the pavilion over there to find your sister Qing'e. Jin'er told you to do the things you have to do well. Once you have done it,

I’ll take you with me the first time I go out.”

"Yeah!" The little girl exclaimed happily, nodded heavily, and skipped towards the pavilion.

Seeing the little girl running away, Zhu Biao turned around, picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured a bowl for Zhu Chaofeng, and said with a smile on his face: "Why did dad want to come over tonight?"

Over the years, Zhujiazhuang has been managed by Zhu Biao. As he gets older, Zhu Chaofeng has long retreated behind the scenes. He does not care about things on weekdays and basically does not attend such banquets.

"Dad, I'm here to have a drink with you and have a few words by the way." Zhu Chaofeng said with a smile.

Zhu Biao didn't say much when he heard the words, only waiting for Zhu Chaofeng to speak again. His father was not an old man from an ordinary family. He was shrewd and wise. He was also a man who could create such a big business in Dulonggang in the past.

.

Zhu Chaofeng drank a bowl of wine and said in a deep voice: "Sanlang, dad knows that you are a person with ideas. Over the years, dad has watched you gather this huge Dulonggang together little by little, and bring the old days to life."

Li Ying, who was arrogant and arrogant, subdued his troops one by one, and traveled thousands of miles to Bianliang, Tokyo, to invite Mr. Wen to take charge. Later, you successively invited Teacher Luan, Teacher Wang, and Teacher Lin to the village.

In addition to today's Du Bo and Wu Erlang from Na Yanggu County, they are all the most powerful people in the world. On weekdays, you also associate with officials from Chai in Cangzhou, Lu Yuanwai from Daming Prefecture, and Wu Bao from Weisheng Prefecture.

Lord these heroes."

"Sanlang, I know you have great ambitions in your heart. I just want to ask, from now on, will our Dulonggang Sanzhuang be soldiers or bandits?"

When Zhu Biao heard the words, although he had been prepared in his heart, he was still in a trance when Zhu Chaofeng said it, not because of the meaning of the words, but because of the licking feeling in the words.

Bandits have passed like a comb, and soldiers have passed like a grate. After thousands of years of history, dynasties have changed, and emperors have been replaced one after another. There are hundreds of thousands of words in the history books, but the whole thing written in them is only the word "cannibalism".

.

Zhu Biao calmed down and said: "We in Dulonggang do not serve as soldiers or bandits. What I want to do is for 'righteousness'. I am a righteous man, gather a righteous army, and perform righteous deeds, both for personal righteousness and national righteousness."

"Okay, Sanlang is very ambitious."

Zhu Chaofeng applauded and said with a smile: "Just these few words to Sanlang are worth eating two more bowls for my father."

Zhu Biao smiled and filled a bowl for Zhu Chaofeng, poured another bowl for himself, touched Zhu Chaofeng lightly, drank it all, and then continued.

"Isn't this why dad came to see my son to ask about this? We are no longer polite between father and son. If dad has anything to say, just say it and the kid will do as he is told."

Zhu Chaofeng slowly put down the wine bowl in his hand, pondered for a while, and said: "Then I will tell you bluntly, now our Dulonggang is becoming more and more prosperous, everyone is doing their own duties, but your two brothers only do a few things all day long.

How do you plan to arrange your leisure time?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he looked startled. He turned his head and looked at Zhu Long and Zhu Hu, who were beside him, including Luan Tingyu, Du Bo and others, who were blushing from drinking. A trace of guilt flashed in his heart.

Over the years, he has arranged everyone in the right position, but he has ignored the two brothers who are closest to him. Although the two of them don't talk about it because they are brothers, there must be knots in their hearts.

.

But in Water Margin, although Zhu Long and Zhu Hu are not considered to be highly skilled martial arts figures, they are not as strong as the fierce men on the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, but they are not as strong as most of the people on the Seventy-two Earthly Evil Stars.

few.

Zhu Biao was silent for a long time, and then said to Zhu Chaofeng: "The eldest brother is calm and capable, and after the year he started doing business with his adopted brother Li Ying; the second brother is fierce and brave, so he went to learn some military skills from Coach Wang. What do you think, dad?"

"That's very good." Upon hearing this, Zhu Chaofeng nodded with satisfaction, lowered his head and drank another bowl of wine, and said meaningfully.

"Sanlang, I know that your eldest brother and second brother are not good at literature and martial arts. It is better for you to invite these heroes back to the village. However, you need to save your brother who fights tigers. Even if one day, everyone abandons you, your two brothers will not be able to do anything."

I will stand by your side."
