    Zhang Xianzhong withdrew the team first, and Luo Rucai had lost all his wealth and was in terrible pain. It took a while to wrap up the bleeding little liver, lick the wound, and planned to leave too.  Just as he was about to break camp, he suddenly saw a Zhu Jun soldier running over. He hugged his fists towards Luo Rucai and said, "Brother Cao Cao, our general wants to meet you and have a few words. If you don't mind, you might as well come in."  A brief introduction to the city."

    After hearing this, Luo Ru rolled his little eyes and was a little curious. He didn't know why Zhu Ba asked him to go, but he thought Zhu Ba couldn't harm him, so he agreed, brought a few confidants, and also  He did not forget to take his most beloved wives with him and walked into the city of Bazhou together.

    After entering the city, he saw Bai Shui Zhu Ba standing by the city gate waiting for him. Zhu Ba's face was neither sad nor happy, as calm as a mountain, as if the quarrel with Zhang Xianzhong that almost caused him to fight had never happened at all. This kind of controlling emotions  Luo Rucai was slightly surprised by his ability.

    He hugged his fists towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I wonder why Brother Zhu Ba invited me here?"

    Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "I want to ask Brother Cao Cao to see what Bazhou City looks like" After saying that, he walked ahead. Luo Rucai didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he was very interested in knowing, so he followed closely.  later.

    After walking only half a street, Luo Rucai understood. He saw that the city of Bazhou was in order, and there was no chaos that was common after the rebel army broke into the city. There were no corpses of civilians on the street, and no people who had been burned in the city.  In the burned-down houses, there were no wailing children, no mournful old people, no clothes stripped off and pinned to the ground.  A woman desperate for death

    The entire Bazhou City seemed like a city in peaceful times. If it weren't for the fact that there were many Zhu Jun soldiers stationed on the streets, and the people were still too far away from these soldiers to dare to get close, Luo Rucai would have almost thought that he had come to a place where he had never fought before.  The place.

    Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the street and whispered: "I did not rob the people of Bazhou of a penny."

    Luo Rucai said oh, not knowing how to interface.

    Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to a businessman standing on the street with his hands lowered, and whispered: "I haven't touched the wealthy businessmen and gentry here."

    Luo Rucai said oh again, with an expression of surprise on his face.

    Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you understand now? Since I have never robbed Bazhou, I naturally have no money to distribute to Zhang Xianzhong! Every penny in Bazhou city belongs to the people of Bazhou. I am not qualified to take advantage of the people.  He took it away from us. Zhang Xianzhong is not qualified either."

    Luo Rucai smiled bitterly, touched his chin and said, "Then you don't make it clear? You made me take out my own pocket and gave him one hundred thousand taels of silver."

    Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "How can I explain clearly to that kind of desperado? I don't bother to say more to him, but Brother Cao Cao is a good friend who can listen to what he says. That's why I let you come in and take a look. Take these heart and lungs  Let me tell you the words."

    Luo Rucai's face was moved.  He couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart. Anyone recognized by a big brother-level figure like Zhu Ba would be happy.  At that moment, he pretended to say: "It's a prize. Haha It's a prize, it's a prize, I don't dare to take it"

    Zhu Yuanzhang led Luo Rucai all the way to the Zhizhou Yamen. Luo Rucai's sharp eyes saw that there was a terrifying person in the Pichang Temple at the entrance of the Yamen. This man's skin had been peeled off and his whole body was covered in blood, but he was not alive yet.  Death was wailing and screaming, and there were a large number of people watching and applauding around him.

    He couldn't help but wonder: "This is it?"

    Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "This is the governor of Bazhou. He is a bad guy. I followed the way of heaven and skinned him and put him here for the people to wash away the bad breath in their hearts."

    Luo Rucai took a breath and thought in her heart: Zhu Ba is really an amazing person. When he is kind, he does no harm to the people, but when he is ruthless, he is even more ruthless than the Lord of Hell.

    The two of them entered the Yamen and sat down in the lobby.  Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "Brother Cao Cao, I have often heard that you like a comfortable life, do not like to fight and kill, and are on the run everywhere."

    "Yes!" Luo Rucai said with a smile: "When I started the rebellion, it was just because I couldn't afford to eat and couldn't get a wife. I never thought about being a general, a marshal, an emperor, etc. That's not the case.  I am worthy of someone like me. Now that I have enough food to eat and a wife, I don¡¯t want to fight anymore. I just hope to retire with the money I earned from robbing ahem over the past few years.  It's a pity to return home and live a happy life We are now on a pirate ship and can't get off."

    "Actually, it's not difficult to get off the pirate ship!" Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Getting on my ship means getting off the pirate ship."

    Luo Rucai laughed and said, "Brother Zhu Ba really loves to joke. Isn't boarding your ship also a pirate ship?"

    Zhu Yuanzhang pointed his hand toward the northwestHe pointed in the direction: "That's Shaanxi over there, my territory. I believe that with your eyes and ears, you can know what's going on in Shaanxi now."

    After hearing this, Luo Ru's face brightened. Of course he knew the situation in Shaanxi. Not to mention that he also had many spies. The family members of the soldiers he left in Shaanxi alone could convey a lot of useful news.  When they were blocked by Zhu Yuanzhang at Tongguan, Luo Rucai, Gao Yingxiang, and Lao Huihui all handed over their families to Zhu Yuanzhang, so they occasionally received some information from these family members. They knew that Shaanxi was in great shape now. Everyone had enough food and clothing and lived in peace.  Good health.

    Shanxi and Henan, which are adjacent to Shaanxi, were obviously miserable in the severe drought, but Zhu Ba was able to manage Shaanxi in an orderly manner, which is really incredible.

    Luo Rucai fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother Zhu Ba, what you mean islet me join your service and hand over all my brothers to you.  Commander, and then you will let me go back to Shaanxi to retire?"

    Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said seriously: "As long as you stop burning, killing, looting, and taking away wives and daughters from now on, I will treat you as if you have never done the things you did before. With the money you have earned over the years, you will live a happy life."  A stable second half of your life will be easy. There are more than a hundred darling wives for you to play with. You only have one wife every three days, and you only get one turn every year. What else is there to pursue?"

    Luo Rucai¡¯s face turned red and she defended, ¡°I rescued all those wives, I didn¡¯t take away their wives and daughters.¡±

    Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said no more about this issue.  It wouldn't be good if all the things were exposed, so I could save him some face.  It was also thanks to Luo Rucai that Zhu Yuanzhang did not dwell too much on this issue. If his subordinates took away wives and daughters, Zhu Yuanzhang would not even think twice and would directly order them to be pushed out and chopped off.  But Luo Rucai was not his subordinate, and was not bound by Zhu Yuanzhang's military discipline. As long as he was willing to correct the bad things he had done in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang could give him a chance to put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.

    Luo Rucai was actually quite moved. He was not an ambitious person. In fact, there were not many ambitious people in the peasant uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty. Only Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others were determined to achieve the goal.  Stand out.  Many people, such as Bai Yuzhu, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui, etc., were forced to rebel due to the pressure of life. The purpose of the uprising was just to live a good life. Therefore, when the scale of the rebel army expanded to a certain extent, it was inevitable that there would be conflicts within the rebel army.  Corrupted and fallen, it is difficult to take another step forward.

    Luo Ru just thought about returning to Shaanxi to retire, taking more than a hundred darling wives, and sitting on hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the rest of her life. She couldn't help but breathe quickly.  I really want to ignore him, throw his men into Zhu Ba's hands, and then become his rich man throwing away him with a smile.

    "How is it? How have you considered it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

    Luo Rucai woke up and returned to reality from the decadent life of fantasy. He sighed and said: "Brother Zhu Ba, I feel your kindness, brother, but this matter is too important and affects the rest of my brother's life Brother  I don¡¯t dare to make a hasty decision, can you give me some time and let me think about it for a few days?¡±

    Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "If you agree to such a big thing just by opening your mouth, I will think that you are not sincere. You are right to think about it for a few days!"

    Luo Rucai clenched his fists and said, "Brother, I'll go back and think about it first Tsk think about it carefully"

    Zhu Yuanzhang served tea and prepared to see off the guests.

    At this moment, he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door. It seemed that a group of people were running in in a hurry. Zhu Yuanzhang knew what must have happened again and looked at the door curiously.  I saw a group of soldiers carrying a man covered in blood and running into the house. Behind these soldiers was a woman. The woman lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly, but she let out a cry, and her voice was  With a cry in his voice, he said in a low voice: "Brothers of the army, please be gentle Please be gentle My husband-in-law is seriously injured and can't stand the torture anymore"

    Hearing this voice, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and stood up from his chair.  His eyes were like lightning as he looked at the seriously injured man. Sure enough, this man was Du Shan, whom he had met once in Xi'an And the woman with her head lowered and crying, needless to say, was Miss Ma San.  .

    "The beauty left that year, but her beauty disappeared, and she didn't expect to suddenly appear here. It was so unexpected that she was not mentally prepared at all.

    Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Miss Ma Xiaosan knelt down on the ground with a "bump" sound, and knocked her head deeply until her forehead touched the ground. She said anxiously: "King Zhu Ba, my husband-in-law is seriously injured. Please stretch out your arms."  Give me a helping hand and save one or two, and I will be a cow or a horse in the next life, and I will definitely repay your great kindness."

    Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his turbulent emotions and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

    Miss Ma San is crying??: "My husband and I have lived in seclusion in the mountains south of here. We have lived a stable life for several years. A few days ago, we met the red lady, the general under the king. She told us about the good things you have done. My husband said that you are a good person.  It's worth relying on. We don't have to hide from you anymore, so we came out of the mountain and wanted to find you in Bazhou City. Unexpectedly, we met a scout from Zhang Xianzhong's department on the way The scout wanted to want to molest me. My husband took advantage of him unprepared.  He stabbed the scout in the back with a knife. Unexpectedly, he didn't kill him with the knife. The scout turned around and chopped his husband into serious wounds Wu"
