Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty One: First Grade General
Unlike Xu Chong, who is tall and tall, Xu Fu is short, and when he is converted to his current size, he looks about 1.65 meters. But this does not prevent him from becoming the most fierce general under Zhu Wen. As the general of the Daliang Assistant State, he has already made his official position to the end of the military general.
In Xu Fu's own words, he was unable to fill his stomach when he needed to grow his head and swayed on the verge of starving to death every day.
When Zhu Wen first met him, he was eating meat, but what he ate was human flesh.
Zhu Wen's guards were going to kill this human-eating guy, but Zhu Wen stopped them and took Xu Fu as his guard. From that time on, Xu Fu has never been hungry again.
But he can no longer grow taller.
He didn't want to be hungry anymore, he wanted to make a name for himself, he wanted to live the best life. He had no other strength, only strength and courage to lose his life.
From an ordinary guard, he has gradually reached his current status.
As the saying goes, make up for whatever is missing. After success and fame, Xu Fu gathered his wife. His wife's height was a whole head taller than him. When the two stood together, Xu Fu's height could only reach his wife's shoulders.
Xu Chong clearly inherited his mother's genes, which made Xu Fu very happy.
But unfortunately, Xu Fu had only one son. Her wife felt very guilty about this and married several concubines for Xu Fu, but without exception, none of them could give up for Xu Fu. After fifty, Xu Fu completely gave up. In his opinion, perhaps because he killed too many people, God had punished him without letting him die. God was already very tolerant. He drove away all the concubines, and was indifferent to his desires, but just guarded his wife for his life.
Those who once mocked Xu Fu as a slap boy basically died at the hands of Xu Fu. There were only two people who could mock him and still survive, one was Zhu Wen and the other was Jing Xiang.
As for the three brothers of Zhu, they are all his juniors of Xu Fu.
Zhu Wen is Xu Fu's benefactor, and Xu Fu has been loyal to such a person in his life.
Jingxiang opened the door to success for Xu Fu.
When Xu Fu first joined Zhu Wen's personal guard, he was naturally excluded and bullied. He was short and weak, so he was no match for these people at all.
Zhu Wen did not care about the things that his guards were doing. In his opinion, he had already done it. As for whether he could live better, it was his own business.
And in those difficult times, it was Jing Xiang, the young scholar who had just become Zhu Wen's aide, who helped Xu Fu a lot.
Xu Fu followed the guards to work hard and practice martial arts. Of course, this required him to pay a great price.
Only with Jingxiang, he received the most sincere care. Jingxiang taught him to read, teach him military strategies, teach him how to recognize people's hearts and even how to intrigue.
For decades, all the guards of that year died, some died on the battlefield, some angered Zhu Wen and executed, and some died in intrigue.
Xu Fu became the only one among the guards who lived to this day.
Without Jing Xiang's teachings, Xu Fu would not feel that he could achieve what he is today.
But today Jing Xiang died, on the way to join him, on his territory.
The festival hall of the General's Mansion has now become a huge mourning hall, with white candles as thick as their arms burning and crackling. No monks come to chant scriptures, and no Taoist priests come to build a temple. Because Xu Fu didn't believe this at all, and he knew it, and Jing Xiang didn't believe this either.
Not asking the people and asking ghosts is what Jing Xiang hates the most.
He has always believed that man conquers nature.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the huge coffin, Xu Fu was holding a pot of wine, a few side dishes, and a huge lamb leg. Xu Fu was drinking alone. After taking a few sips, he cut a piece of lamb into his mouth. He chewed his mouth so much that he was covered in oil. After chewing a few sips, he muttered and said a few words to Jingxiang in the coffin, and sometimes burst into laughter.
Xu Fu was smiling. Outside the General Office, the rows of generals felt a cold air coming out of their hearts. Everyone knew that the anger of the General Office of the General Office was probably about to spurt out of the sky at this moment, and the smile at this moment was probably the result of the extreme of everything.
No one knows what the general will do next moment.
Xu Chong strode into the mourning hall. Behind him, two soldiers walked into the lobby with Yang Honggui, the general of the City Patrol Division. When he saw Xu Fu, there was no need to say anything. Yang Honggui was kneeling on the ground, protruding himself into the ground, his whole body was trembling.
Xu Chong waved his hand and the two soldiers bowed and retreated.
"Brother Jing, I remember that you practiced it for me when I left Chang'an, and told me not to eat big fish and meat. I said that I am old and eating like this will be bad for my health." Xu Fu didn't seem to notice Yang Honggui kneeling beside him and said to himself: "But I can't change this bite. I always feel that life is limited. When I can eat, I must not lose myself. God knows when I will die! You pay special attention to these things, but you still died in front of me. I really didn't expect that I always think that I will die in front of you!"
He laughed loudly, reached out and grabbed the lamb leg, bit it a few bites, and didn't chew it much, and just swallowed it like this.
"I know you have always had a question to ask me, but you are a scholar and have always been embarrassed to ask me, do you want to know if human flesh is delicious, right?" After throwing the lamb leg, he grabbed the wine pot, raised his neck and took a big mouthful. Xu Fu said, "I will tell you today, it's really not delicious. If I had known that you died so early, I would have told you earlier!"
Yang Honggui's face had already turned pale.
Xu Fu, who slowly turned around, looked at Yang Honggui in front of him, and his voice was very small, "Raise your head."
Yang Honggui forced himself to look up at the other party.
"Do you recognize me?"
"The General, the Last General, naturally, I recognize you."
Xu Fu pointed at Xu Chong again, "Do you know why Xu Chong wears mourning clothes? Oh, you naturally don't know. You are all apart from generation to generation, so how can you know the relationship between Brother Jing and me? Brother Jing's children are not here, so Xu Chong can only send him off with mourning clothes."
"General, I didn't kill Jingxiong!" Yang Honggui screamed in fear.
"Does you have something to do with it? The ones you killed or those you are under your command are the same!" Xu Fu said lightly.
"It was not my killing, nor was it my subordinates killed!" Yang Honggui whimpered. He was really wronged!
"Zhu Youyu's confidant, the general of the City Inspection Division, is this kind of virtue!" Xu Fu shook his head: "Do you think it is useful to say these words at this time? Brother Jing's head is in your hands, and the evidence found by Xu Chong can no longer tolerate you to argue. Besides, Shi Hong is still alive!"
"Shi Hong, he is here too, he is still alive, then he can definitely prove that Jing Xiang was not killed by me!" As if he had caught a life-saving straw, Yang Honggui shouted: "I am willing to confront Shi Hong."
"Xu Chong, is Shi Hong awake?" Xu Fu asked.
"Father, Shi Hong woke up, but after saying only three words, she fainted again. I don't know when he would wake up again. The injuries he suffered were too severe." Xu Chong said.
"What three words?"
"City Inspection Office!" Xu Chong stared at Yang Honggui fiercely and said coldly.
Yang Honggui immediately collapsed on the ground.
Xu Fu looked at him coldly for a while and said, "Yang Honggui, tell me, what's wrong with His Majesty the Emperor?"
Yang Honggui shivered and lay on the ground, but he didn't dare to say a word.
"I'll ask you, how is His Majesty the Emperor?" Xu Fu reached out and grabbed the other person's hair and raised his head. However, his other hand was fumbled behind him for a while, grabbed his mutton-cutting knife in his hand, and gestured on Yang Honggui.
"Father, let me do it?" Xu Chong said quickly.
"Get out!" Xu Fu roared, and Xu Chong immediately took two steps back.
"Brother Jing, human flesh is really not delicious, but for you, it's not impossible for me to eat a few more bites." Xu Fu held a knife and poked Yang Honggui's body, as if he was looking for that piece. Not to mention Yang Honggui, even Xu Chong swallowed his saliva and quietly took two steps back.
"Your Majesty is dead, dead!" When Xu Fu's little knife broke through a piece of clothes on Yang Honggui's chest, Yang Honggui finally couldn't help but cry and said loudly.
It is one thing to be slaughtered with one knife, but it is another thing to watch your meat being eaten by others. Others say this or just intimidate them, but Yang Honggui knew that the person in front of him could really say and do it.
Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, sighed, let go of Yang Honggui, and said, "I'll just say that if Your Majesty is still alive, how could Brother Jing escape from Chang'an in a panic and die on the road? It turned out that Boss Zhu had a dirty mind. How did Your Majesty die?"
"I was killed by... by His Highness himself." Yang Honggui said while crying.
"Jingshuai, you have been strong all your life, I'm afraid you never thought that you would die at the hands of your own son?" Xu Fu was stunned for a while and shook his head. "Although I've been a little dissatisfied with you after becoming the emperor, I won't let you die in vain if you die. Even if the one who killed you was your own son, you have more than one son, right?"
"That boy still dreams of becoming the emperor of Daliang?" Looking back, Xu Fu looked at Yang Honggui and burst into laughter: "What a dream!"
But Yang Honggui just begged for a while and couldn't even speak.
"I won't kill you, I want you to go back and bring me a letter to Boss Zhu!" Xu Fu said.
Yang Honggui raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief and his face full of ecstasy, but the next moment, Xu Fu's words made him look as if he was dead.
"Kill all his soldiers, leaving only two of them." Xu Fu said: "This man cut off his arms and sent them back to Chang'an. Xu Chong, remember, after chopping his hands, he must use medicine, so he cannot die halfway."
"God of your life, General, please spare me!" Yang Honggui shouted loudly.
