Chapter 421 Duckweed
"Sixth Uncle said this, and I figured it out. No wonder my eldest brother has always wanted to steal the third prince's horse, but he can only steal it secretly from Brother Zhao. They don't dare to let me and my wife know."
Wei Lubin got his sixth uncle's explanation, and he gossiped with him in a high mood about the inside story of Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu's robbery of the horse.
This is something that others don't know because one is his cousin and the other is his former boss.
So Wei Lubin knew that the two of them were willing to give up the horse for that one, but Brother Zhao was unmoved.
Wei Lubin, who thought he knew the truth, suddenly felt that they were also so superficial and vain.
Actually, because that horse is the mount of the third prince of North Vietnam, he sacrifices himself for the sake of the bottom.
In fact, only Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu knew the real reason, but they were too embarrassed to say it.
Wei Huaicheng saw two men and a group of ten-year-old children carrying pigweed in baskets that were not very full. He thought that even if he was lame in one leg, he would still be better than that man.
"Are all their pig feeders so weak?" he asked Wei Lubin, pointing at the two men.
"Hey! Sixth Uncle, don't underestimate them. They are the masters of our castle, and they are Wang Zhongqi and Yang Wanlin, who were once Taifu Cheng's favorite disciples."
"What? They are Wang Zhongqi and Yang Wanlin? Then why are they hunting pigweed?" Those were once his wives!
"Our wife stipulates that during the off-season, we have six days of school and one day off, and during the busy season, we have five days of school and two days off. The master will take the children to the fields to pull grass. Some grass can be used to make dishes for people to eat, and some weeds are just for food.
It can be fed to pigs."
Wei Lubin took the initiative to talk about how pitiful and miserable the savages in the cave were, so hungry that only skin and bones were left...
Thirteen years ago, Wei Huaicheng learned that they were being exiled and specifically told Youzhou Prefecture to take more care of them.
At that time, they were often busy fighting against the North Vietnamese. When he had time, he could no longer find them. It turned out that they were still tenaciously alive.
"Where did Mr. Chu get so much food?" Wei Huaicheng asked curiously, just because Wei Lubin was his nephew, and if it were anyone else, he would definitely not ask.
Wei Lubin looked around and said cautiously: "Uncle Liu, don't ask easily about such an important matter in the future, you know? I'll tell you quietly.
When our father was exiled, one word was miserable, two words were miserable, and four words was half-dead. At that time, we had a hundred royal guards under the orders of our governor.
We were ordered to keep an eye on him along the road. Our superiors repeatedly told us to kill him on the spot if we found anything wrong. We started to keep an eye on him cautiously.
As for him! He hugs his newly married wife half-deadly every day, lying in the carriage all day without eating or drinking, and his mother cries and howls all day long, as if our husband is going to be gone with the wind in the next moment.
In the first half of the month, we didn't relax for a moment, taking turns staring at the carriage. It would be better for me and my wife not to eat, drink or pull.
Our superior, Mr. Tongzhi, looked at Zhennan Hou's behavior and felt that nothing could be done about it, so he took his men back to resume their duties.
Zhao Qianhu and the four of us who are considered the most powerful masters are left behind, a total of five people to continue to follow our master.
At that time, Nie Cinan and I made a bet every day on how many days the couple could live until there was a locust plague, and the city gates were closed everywhere, and we couldn't enter the inn.
At the beginning, we were able to hunt some hares and pheasants to satisfy our hunger. As you know, there were no grass roots and tree barks along the road, and everyone was in despair.
Our father suddenly stood up. Did you know? He stood up properly. Except for a scar on his face, there were no other problems.
His men would deliver a cartload of rations to all the prisoners and officials every day. Any disobedient prisoners or officials would starve to death.
At that time, the identities of officials and prisoners were reversed, and those who were prisoners were worse than those who were officials..."
"You noble guards betrayed the imperial court just for rations?" Wei Huaicheng asked, feeling unreasonable and weak. Didn't they sell themselves to Lord Chu just for rations?
"No way! One of our companions was bitten to death by a wild boar, and the four of us left can't even defeat our wife. Brother Zhao became disheartened and wanted to seek refuge with us.
Last year, Nie Cinan and I were only eighteen years old! We are going to meet the King of Hell in our prime years, why not follow our master and enjoy the good life."
Wei Lubin would not say that they also wanted to resist at that time. Unfortunately, Brother Zhao was determined to follow him. If they did not compromise, Zhao Yu would kill them immediately.
They were selected from the Royal Guards and the Royal Forest Army to join the Royal Guards. They are the best beings, and they are more proud than obedient.
Brother Zhao is their boss. If he disobeys the arrangements, he will be executed on the spot. Their names are not even on the hero board.
Talents like them will fall into the dust and not even make a splash.
How could they, who were young and energetic, accept this? Then they would have to compromise.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the result was like this. His eldest cousin and his sixth uncle all came to join him. Wei Lubin thanked God all the time.
At this time, he didn't know that all the Wei clan members were on the way! The uncle and nephew didn't talk anymore.
After a long silence, the carriage continued to move forward. Wei Huaicheng raised his head from his thoughts and saw the majestic palace in front of him, "Uh! Fifth brother, that is?"
"The biggest yard is our master's yard. It is right next to the big yard our..."
Wei Lubin happily introduced the palace, which was more majestic than the imperial palace, as well as the Zhuque Street and the courtyards on both sides.
If Wei Huaicheng had not experienced too much, he would not be able to bear such stimulation and would faint from shock.
His nephew was still too naive. What kind of courtyard was that? Is it a courtyard? It was obviously a palace! It was more majestic and more luxurious than the current palace.
Wei Huaicheng felt that he had worked hard for more than ten years, but in the end he couldn't even compare to the 19-year-old boy in front of him. Their yard was so big.
Wei Huaicheng chuckled when he heard this, "Your cousin is very powerful. The wind in the capital is about to blow. Although we are not duckweeds without a foundation, if we don't take the opportunity to grow more tentacles, we will be blown away by the strong wind. We will regret it."
It’s too late.”
"Uncle Six, your leg will definitely be cured. Our master was even more lame back then. Hey, don't tell others."
Wei Lubin didn't understand what his sixth uncle said, so he comforted him. The uncle and nephew returned to their residence and heard that his wife was helping those people to see their injuries.
"Uncle Sixth, go and wash up first. My eldest brother will ask Madam to take a look at it for you later."
