Zhu Wen called Xu Huaiyu, introduced Xie Tong's origins to Xu Huaiyu, and then said to Xie Tong: "This is my personal army commander General Xu Huaiyu, and he is also one of my best brothers."

Xie Tong and Xu Huaiyu met Li, and the three of them took the naughty Zhu Youlun with them and set out on the street together. Xu Huaiyu also brought more than ten good soldiers among them, changed into regular clothes, and secretly protected Zhu Wen's safety.

Over the years, Zhu Wen has been fighting in the field all year round. Zhu Youning has been following Zhu Wen around all the time at a young age. Where has he been to a big city like Chang'an? Everything he sees on the street feels fresh. He can't stop running around.

Zhu Wen and Xu Huaiyu could only follow him around closely. Xie Tong looked aside and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He also liked this little guy very much.

The little guy suddenly ran up to Xie Tong and asked, "Mr. Xie, are you the gentleman that my third uncle invited to teach me how to read?"

Xie Tong said with a smile: "Yes, from now on you must be obedient and study hard. You can no longer be naughty and playful!"

Zhu Youlun pouted his little mouth and said as if he was unhappy: "I don't like studying. When I grow up, I want to be a general like my third uncle and lead troops to fight." Then he smiled and said proudly: "

Third uncle is so majestic!"

This made Zhu Wen and others next to him burst into laughter.

The group of people arrived at Dongshi and saw that the streets were busy with people coming and going, but most of them were soldiers from the rebel army, while there were only a few ordinary people in Chang'an. Also, at this time, who of the ordinary people would want to come out casually?

It would not be fun to offend the rebels.

Zhu Wen and others came to a tailor shop, and just as a dozen rebel soldiers came out of the shop with large and small bags of clothes, the owner of the shop smiled and said in a loud voice: "Good go, military lords."

, come and visit often in the future!”

The rebels didn't look back, turned a deaf ear to the boss's politeness, and left chatting and laughing.

When the boss saw a dozen rebel soldiers walking away, the polite smile on his face suddenly froze and was replaced by a frown. The boy on the side couldn't help but said: "Shopkeeper, this is how it goes.

What should we do? How can we do this business? What kind of rebels are they? They are simply robbers!"

The shopkeeper quickly made a silence gesture and whispered: "Awang, don't talk nonsense, how can you discuss this? How many times have I told you, trouble comes from the mouth, if you are

When people hear this, we will shed our skin even if we don’t die.”

The boy named Awang was still muttering something in a low voice, but he no longer dared to complain.

When Zhu Wen and others walked into the store, the shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet them and said enthusiastically: "A few distinguished guests, please come inside." The shopkeeper saw that Zhu Wen and others were all extraordinary, and little Zhu Youning was even more dressed in a good-looking mink.

The little leather cotton-padded jacket wrapped his little body tightly, leaving only a pink little face exposed, which was very cute.

The shopkeeper has been doing business all year round, and most of his dealings are with wealthy families. When he saw Zhu Wen and others dressed up, how could he not know that they were wealthy guests? He glanced at Xie Tong, who was dressed in shabby clothes, and at that time he thought

Xueliang smiled and said: "Are these distinguished guests going to order a robe for this old gentleman?"

After all, Xie Tong had no money, so he couldn't answer the shopkeeper's words, so he could only look at Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen said: "Mr.

Fabric. Shopkeeper, if you have any ready-made Futou robes, let Mr.

When the shopkeeper saw that the customer was really a big customer, he hurriedly ordered his assistant Awang to take Xie Tong to the back to try on clothes, and he personally greeted Zhu Wen and others here.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was very talkative, Zhu Wen started chatting with the shopkeeper. Zhu Wen said: "The shopkeeper's business is good. We just saw a dozen people going out with clothes. It seems that the shopkeeper will definitely make a lot of money today."

."

The shopkeeper sighed: "What are you making money for? Those are all Huang Wang's men. How can I dare to make money from them?"

Zhu Wen asked doubtfully: "Really? Do Huangwang's people get discounts when buying things?"

The shopkeeper said: "It can't be said to be a discount, it can only be said..." He looked in the direction outside the door to make sure that no rebels were passing by, and then continued in a low voice: "You don't know, sir, they are here to buy things.

They just give me two dollars and then take away the things. All the merchants in the city dare to get angry but dare not speak out. It would be strange if there is more business like this without compensating for it!"

Zhu Wen was shocked! He turned into a rage and said: "Is this true? Is there no one who can't control it?"

The shopkeeper saw Zhu Wen's expression was different and said softly: "Please keep your voice down, sir, and don't let the soldiers hear it. If these words reach their ears, something may happen." The shopkeeper said to him.

Zhu Wen was very fond of him and was afraid that he might offend the soldiers who had just entered the city without knowing the seriousness of it.

Zhu Wen snorted coldly and said, "Are you just going to let them do whatever they want? Why don't you complain to their general's mansion?"

The shopkeeper asked confused: "Complain? What does complain mean?"

Only then did Zhu Wen realize that the word "complaint" might not have been used at that time. He smiled awkwardly and said: "To complain is to argue with their superiors. King Huang has clearly issued an order prohibiting the rebels from bullying the people. Once found, they will not be lenient. Aren't they afraid of military law?"

The shopkeeper whispered: "Military law? Military law is made by themselves, but they are just for the common people to listen to. How can they be taken seriously? Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, let alone they are soldiers! In this era of war and chaos, which

Dare to offend a soldier? Even those generals sometimes have to look at the looks of their soldiers, so how can they be punished seriously?"

After Zhu Wen heard what the shopkeeper said, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yes, in these turbulent times, the soldiers would rebel when they said they were right, and the generals would have to work hard to please the soldiers. This is why whenever there are turbulent times, there will be

The reason why there are countless soldiers and ruffians is that in troubled times, arrogant soldiers often kill their masters. This is also the result. In troubled times, soldiers are just for money, power and fame. Once you restrict

In their pursuit of all this, they will absolutely abandon you and join another master without any hesitation.

These phenomena have been common since ancient times, and Zhu Wen didn't know about it. Can we just watch these black sheep in the army misbehave? It seems that it is necessary to talk to King Huang and several other generals, Zhu Wen thought

.

At this time, Xie Tong had also changed into a well-fitting Futou robe. He looked much more energetic than before, and seemed to be several years younger. Zhu Wen joked: "No wonder they say, 'The man is in the clothes and the horse is in the saddle.'

, once you put on this outfit, you immediately feel like a different person.”

Xie Tong also smiled and said: "It just cost General Zhu money. It's not because the students are stingy, but because they are really short of money."

Zhu Wen said hurriedly: "Anyway, if you have any needs from now on, sir, just say it and don't show it to outsiders. In our army, there are not so many rules." Then he turned to the shopkeeper of the tailor shop and said: "Shopkeeper,

In addition to this one, I will make two more tailor-made sets for Mr. Xie. Try to use the best quality fabrics. Once they are done, just send them to Zhu Wen's house in Yongningfang. Can you please calculate the total cost, please?"

The shopkeeper heard that this young man was the famous General Zhu Wen and Zhu in the rebel army. How could he dare to collect money? He hurriedly said: "I didn't know that it was General Zhu who arrived. I have eyesight but cannot recognize Mount Tai. I have neglected the general. I hope you will forgive me."

Sin, as for these two clothes, just treat them as gifts from the shop to the general as an apology."

Zhu Wen said: "How can this mean that even though you have a big family and a big business, you can't afford to give it away like this? It's not easy to do anything. I'm afraid that if I really leave without paying, you will scold me behind my back!"

When the shopkeeper heard what Zhu Wen said, he was shocked. For a general like Zhu Wen, it would be as easy to kill his whole family as to kill an ant. He quickly knelt down as soon as his knees softened and said anxiously: "

I don't dare, I don't dare. General, just take them, and the other two will be made as soon as possible. I will deliver them to your house personally, and I will also give you a small gift."

Zhu Wen stepped forward to help the shopkeeper with both hands and said seriously: "Shopkeeper, why are you doing this? We are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, how can we treat the common people like this? Although there are a few black sheep, I, Zhu Wen, guarantee that they will be punished by military law.

Sanctions. I am also a commoner, and I also did business back then. When I opened a restaurant, there were often people from the government and some soldiers who refused to pay for meals. Although I was polite on the surface, I wanted to punish them secretly.

I scolded you so much and compared my feelings with my own, how can I have the nerve to let you, the shopkeeper, do the same for me?"

What else did the shopkeeper want to say? Zhu Wen said, "You don't need to say more. Here are ten taels of silver. Is it enough?" Zhu Wen said and took out a ten-tael silver ingot from his arms. The shopkeeper was busy.

He said: "A total of three or two six cents of silver is enough. How can we use so much?" The shopkeeper was too determined to accept it.

Zhu Wen said: "Just accept it, and the rest should be considered as paying off the debt for those soldiers and ruffians. Here I, Zhu Wen, apologize to you." After saying this, Zhu Wen gave the shopkeeper a deep bow.

This frightened the shopkeeper. His legs went weak and he subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but Zhu Wen held him back. But the shopkeeper refused to accept anything he said.

Xu Huaiyu on the side looked impatient, snorted coldly, and said loudly: "If my general asks you to accept it, you can accept it. Why is there so much nonsense? Is it too little or something?"

The shopkeeper said quickly: "How dare you? How dare you?" Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, he had to accept it and thanked him profusely.

When Zhu Wen and others turned to leave, the shopkeeper suddenly said: "General Zhu, please wait a moment, I'll be back soon." After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Wen's consent, he hurried to the backyard alone.

Zhu Wen and others didn't know what he meant, but with Zhu Wen's temperament, they couldn't just leave. They were also very curious about what the shopkeeper was going to do, so they waited in the store.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out with an antique wooden box. He carefully held it with both hands and handed it to Zhu Wen. He said: "General Zhu is a dragon and a phoenix among men. He will have a bright future in the future. This little old man has treasured this dress for many years."
