Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The combination of various factors contributed to Zhang Zhongjian's great and tragic life.

Liu Bai's words sounded unbearable.

Zhang Zhongjian's face was still neither happy nor sad.

The giant bandits who fled in the Northeast back then, that is, Zhang Zhongjian's subordinates, had already pledged their allegiance to Liu Bai.

Based on that five-toothed ship, they have suddenly become the overlords on the sea.

Except for the imperial court's East China Sea Fleet, no one is their opponent.

This can be regarded as indirectly fulfilling Zhang Zhongjian's dream.

He took a small package from Mabia's hand.

After opening it, it was an account book made of green leather.

"The grievances between Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu have been settled. This account book is enough to repay everything. I hope Mr. Liu will be fulfilled and give my brothers freedom."

Liu Bai understood the real purpose of Zhang Zhongjian dragging his sick body to the island to meet each other.

He didn't go to pick up the books.

Even Lu Dunxin beside him blinked his eyes, but Liu Bai didn't pick it up.

Instead, he looked at Ma Biao at the side.

"Has Liu ever restricted your freedom?"

Ma Biao's face was full of pleading.

The meaning is probably, let Liu Bai first follow Zhang Zhongjian's meaning

Liu Bai pretended not to see it.

Seeing that Ma Biao didn't answer, he looked at Zhang Zhongjian's second boss.

The middle-aged scribe who once claimed to be a smart man secretly sneaked into Chang'an East City to become a servant of the Liu family.

"Old Xu, has Liu restricted your freedom?"

Old Xu smiled wryly, stood behind Zhang Zhongjian, bowed again and again, and prayed silently.

Liu Bai took a deep breath.

"I understand"

From the attitudes of the two of them, Liu Bai saw that Zhang Zhongjian's life is not long!

There's nothing to talk about with a dead man.

Liu Bai took over the account book from Zhang Zhongjian.

He glanced over and threw it to Lu Dunxin who was beside him.

Lu Dunxin is like a treasure!

These days, the pirates who have been harassing the big families in Wu County are Zhang Zhongjian and the others!

If the imperial army doesn't come, and Zhang Wei's army doesn't move out, Zhang Zhongjian and his gang are invincible at sea.

And that account book is a detailed record of the Gu family's long-term human trafficking.

With the account books, they can uproot the Gu family without any scruples!

"Liu gave them back their freedom, but the five-toothed warship will stay!"

Zhang Zhongjian, who was about to stand up, trembled when he heard this.

He raised his head suddenly, and the expression on his face finally changed.

Ma Biao and the others also changed their expressions drastically!

This five-toothed ship was bought by Liu Bai from Dugu's family, and after several months of use, he donated it to Ma Biao and others.

Over the years, Ma Biao and others have relied on this improved five-toothed ship to run wild in the sea and gain a great reputation.

Now, it is already dilapidated.

If it wasn't for Zhang Zhongjian's refusal to give up the ship, he might have already split it and burned it as firewood.

Walking on the beach, you can always see dilapidated ships with equipment worth far more than the ship itself.

This is the obsession with the boat for people who live on the sea.

For them, meaning is like their hometown.

No matter how poor or broken, it is still my hometown.

Zhang Zhongjian's body trembled slightly, his teeth were almost bleeding!

"Why is Mr. Liu so aggressive? This ship has no use value, how about Zhang giving you his life?"

Liu Bai sneered and said, "How much is your life worth?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the people around, including Lu Dunxin and others, felt that Liu Bai was going too far.

What is the difference between asking for the five-tooth warship back and directly asking for Zhang Zhongjian's life?

Ma Biao and others fell to their knees in the dust with a 'plop'.

"Please forgive me, Master!"

"That ship is my brother's life! I hope the young master will do it!"

With a cold face, Liu Bai said, "I will give you back your freedom. The five-tooth warship belongs to Liu, so you can't get it back?"

After speaking, he got up, flicked his sleeves, turned and left.

"see a visitor out!"

Zhang Wei had no choice but to step forward in embarrassment and let them leave.

Zhang Zhongjian's body shook violently a few times, and a streak of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Ma Biao and others were afraid that he would be further stimulated, so they hurriedly helped him onto the sliding pole.

Zhang Wei found someone, arranged a small boat for them, and watched them leave.

It is said to be a small boat, but it can actually accommodate 200 people.

It's just that the scale is far inferior to the giant five-toothed warship.

In terms of combat capability, the small boat in Zhang Wei's hands probably surpassed that of the five-yad warship.

The people under his command went to sail the boat, and Zhang Zhongjian was only accompanied by Ma Biao and a few brothers from the early years.

Strangely, after the boat left the shore, Zhang Zhongjian had a smile on his face.

"At least, Liu Bai treats you all sincerely, follow him to work hard in the future, and big brother can leave with peace of mind."

Ma Biao and the others were already weeping uncontrollably.

They knew very well what Zhang Zhongjian was doing.

free?

They never lack freedom.

In these years, Liu Bai did not arrange a few tasks for them.

But what Zhang Zhongjian needed was Liu Bai's attitude.

Now, he has tested Liu Bai's attitude with the big five-toothed ship that he regards as his life.

that's enough

He raised his arm weakly.

"Pick me up"

Everyone helped him up and looked out into the distance, the five-toothed ship that was about to disappear from sight.

Zhang Zhongjian murmured: "Unfortunately, I, Zhang Zhongjian, was born [-] years earlier. If I am now in my prime, no matter what, I will fight for a piece of my own world in this vast sea!"

"Big Brother"

Ma Biao said painfully.

Zhang Zhongjian smiled happily and said: "Since Liu Bai treats you all sincerely, I will help him one more time before I die."

As he said that, he took a deep breath and said: "Preach it, say that deep in the sea, there is a treasure left by my bearded man. Let the people on the sea search for it with all their might."

Chapter 1398 Why do these people come back?

Zhang Wei lingered on the shore of Dongzhou Island all night.

As a military general, especially a sea general, he understood Zhang Zhongjian's feelings very well.

The boat on which you sail for the first time has extraordinary significance for people at sea.

From his understanding, Liu Bai is a relatively easy-to-talk person.

Liu Bai has always been generous to his friends.

I don't know if Zhang Zhongjian has any resentment towards Liu Bai in his heart, but what is certain is that at least Zhang Zhongjian is not an enemy.

Over the years, there has been hard work without credit.

They are on the sea, fighting with the gods, and pirates from all sides, isn't it all arranged by Liu Bai?

From this point of view, Liu Bai was too mean to them.

Zhang Wei hesitated.

People who come from the academy have an advantage, or it can also be called a defect.

That is, like to point out the shortcomings of others in person.

This is the tone that has been set ever since Li Yanshou pointed out Yan Shigu's mistakes when the academy recruited for the first time.

If the teacher makes a mistake during the teaching process, not to mention the students, even those who do odd jobs in the academy can point it out without any scruples!

No matter how old-fashioned and strict the gentleman is, he will not blame him.

On the contrary, thank you with teacher courtesy!

Zhang Wei's hesitation lies in whether he wants to point out Liu Bai's mistake?

After struggling all night, after dawn, Zhang Wei gritted his teeth with a pair of panda eyes on his face, and walked resolutely to the tent where Liu Bai lived.

Liu Bai got up early.

Siamese rosewood toothbrush is a must.

Although the effect is not as good as toothpaste with a little salt, it is better than convenience.

After all, Datang has not derived the technology to make toothpaste.

In the early years, some people used tooth powder.

The interdental gaps prepared with gastrodia elata, ligusticum, agarwood, and cold water stone have excellent decontamination ability.

However, the taste is really unsatisfactory.

I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and while I was wiping, Zhang Yi's voice sounded from outside the curtain.

"Get in!"

Zhang Wei opened the curtain, and before he could speak, there was a water basin in his arms.

He had to go outside and pour out the dirty water in the basin.

I found clean water again, cleaned the basin, and then went in again.

"Sir, those people from yesterday"

When he came back, Liu Bai had already started working.

It's still early, it's not time for breakfast.

While the mind is clear, the planning map of the entire island should be completed as soon as possible.

Wang Shouren also came over at some point.

Facing a map that does not know what it represents, it is sketched bit by bit.
