Chapter 83 You're Far Away
Despite previous letters and the words of the captives, Liu Bang did not believe that Lu Wan was plotting a rebellion.
Has this stupid brother of mine been framed by someone?
Fan Kuai...Fan Kuai...For some reason, Liu Bang's eyes couldn't help but look towards the direction of the Pepper Palace.
However, it is not difficult to solve this problem.
Liu Bang immediately sent an envoy to Yan State to see what had happened to Lu Wan. If nothing had happened to Lu Wan, he would call Lu Wan back. If the envoy went in and did not come out, Zhou Bo would lead his troops into Yan State to take a look.
Fan Kuai's big move of returning to Chang'an naturally could not be hidden from others.
But when Fan Kuai returned home this time, he found that his home had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Lu Shi had not seen Fan Kuai for more than a year. Fan Kuai went to Zhao State to fight and then went to Huainan. Now he was finally home. Since he pacified the world, this was the first time they could not see each other for such a long time. Fan Kuai was very happy. He lifted up his wife and laughed.
Little Fan Qing screamed loudly, she also wanted to be lifted up by her father.
Fan Kuai held one in each hand until Lu Shi became really angry, and then he let her go.
The family walked happily towards the inner room. Fan Kuai came back suddenly, and Lu Shi had no preparations, so she had to let the servants slaughter the livestock and prepare the meat. Fan Kuai hugged Fan Qing tightly and teased her, "When I was not at home, did you make your mother angry?"
"No, I'm very obedient!"
"Hahaha, that's good!"
"But someone bullied me!"
"Ah? Who is it! How dare you bully my daughter!" Fan Kuai pretended to be fierce and asked with his teeth bared.
"Liu Chang!"
Fan Qing then told Fan Kuai seriously and exaggeratedly about Liu Chang stealing his snacks. Fan Kuai was not angry, but just smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take care of him for you! Let's beat him up together!"
The family had a warm meal together, but as they were eating, Fan Kuai felt something was wrong.
Why do I feel like I forgot something?
He was almost done eating the meat when he suddenly woke up, "By the way, where are Kang and Shi Ren? Why aren't they at home?"
Hearing Fan Kuai's question, Lu Shi was awakened and said, "Yes, we still have two little kids at home."
Speaking of these two little brats, Lu Shi was suddenly possessed by Empress Lu.
She gritted her teeth and said, "You don't know! Ever since you went out to fight, these two kids have started to behave recklessly. They've grown up..."
Once Lu Shi started talking, she spoke for more than half an hour.
She spoke until her mouth was dry, so she took a sip of water and looked at Fan Kuai.
At this moment, Fan Kuai was stunned. He stared at Lu Shi in a daze, with tears in his eyes.
Lu Xi was confused and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
Fan Kuai was awakened by this, and he laughed hastily, "It's okay... It's okay... I just remembered something... Well, Madam, don't worry, wait for these two brats to come home, I will take care of them myself! Beat them so that they will never dare to make you angry again!"
Lu Xi said hesitantly: "Don't be too harsh... They still have to study..."
"Do not worry!"
…
The night gradually darkened, and three small figures were walking slowly towards the Fan Mansion.
Liu Chang walked in the middle, with Fan Kang and Fan Shiren on his left and right. The three of them were arm in arm, singing an unknown song all the way. It was very unpleasant to the ear, but they ignored it and walked all the way to the door of Fan's house.
"Strange, why is my door open?"
"Hahaha, never mind. Who else would dare to break into your house and steal things except us?"
"Your Majesty is right!"
"I feel really good today. I have disliked Fu Jing for a long time! The guys in his group, Jin Ting and Wang Ji, are not good people. I beat them up today. Let's see how they can be so arrogant in the future."
"Yes, your majesty is so brave! Hahahaha, that strike of your sword made Fu Jing wet his pants!"
The three people shouted loudly and chatted for a long time and were unwilling to go home. It was not until the people in Fan City began to yawn that they decided to say goodbye.
"Now that you're here, why don't you sit down for a while?"
Suddenly, a rough voice stopped the arrogant laughter of the three people.
Fan Kang widened his eyes. In the darkness of the night, he finally saw the huge figure sitting at the door. That voice... was right.
"Father!"
Fan Shiren had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. He shouted and threw himself into his father's arms. Fan Kuai touched his head, and Fan Kang and Liu Chang walked up to him somewhat awkwardly.
"Father!"
"Marquis Wuyang!"
In the darkness, they couldn't see Fan Kuai's face clearly and didn't know whether he was angry or not.
"When will Father come back?"
"I came back at noon."
"So...how long have you been sitting here?"
"It was here when you were singing ..."
Fan Kuai lowered his head and his voice sounded a little strange. It seemed that he could not avoid being beaten today.
Just as Liu Chang was thinking about how to argue, Fan Kuai suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Chang.
"Cherish it... treat it well... always like this... okay?"
"Um...ok...ok."
"Let's go! Stay at my house tonight!"
Fan Kuai laughed, stood up, picked up Fan Shiren with his left hand, held Fan Kang with his right hand, grabbed Liu Chang, and walked into the mansion easily.
"I'm afraid my mother will be angry..."
"No problem, I'll send someone to tell them!"
Fan Kuai dragged the three people into his home, lit candles, and prepared some food for them.
Fan Qing stood beside his mother, raised his head, and looked at Liu Chang with his nose, "Do you still dare to bully me?"
Liu Chang smiled awkwardly, "What are you talking about, sister? How could a brother bully you? I love you more than I can say. I have a lot of snacks here, I will send them to you tomorrow..."
Hearing this, Fan Qing immediately put aside his grudges, smiled foolishly and nodded, saying sweetly: "Thank you, brother~~"
Seeing that his daughter was bribed so easily, Fan Kuai's face turned a little dark.
The three silly boys sat obediently in front of Fan Kuai, lowering their heads and eating meat.
"Your mother told me that you have done a lot of things these days, huh? Have you become more capable?"
Fan Kuai spoke in a muffled voice. With his physique, his arms alone were as thick as Liu Chang's waist. What he said was really scary.
If someone else dared to threaten Liu Chang like this, Liu Chang would have ordered Luan Bu to kill him with a sword. But the man in front of him, to be modest, should be able to beat sixty Luan Bu. If he went up himself, well, it's not that he couldn't beat him, but the main reason was that the other party was his elder and it was not easy to do it.
Fan Kang and everyone in Fan Shi were trembling and saying nothing.
"That's fine! Who wasn't like this when they were young?"
Fan Kuai changed the subject and said, "But, in the future, when you do things, you have to be more secretive, so that others don't know that it was you who did it. In this respect, you are far inferior to us. When we were in Pei County, we were rarely beaten. Big brother did it very secretly..."
There was a gleam in Fan Kuai's eyes as he excitedly talked about the past.
The three silly boys listened attentively and were stunned. Oh my God, is there such a thing?
"And then? Was General Xiahou beaten?"
"Of course, it's enough for me alone, let alone the three of us!"
That night, Fan Kuai told them a very interesting story. He did not stop until Lü Shi called him away with a dark face. He shouted in a serious tone: "You can't do this! You must study hard! Hey, madam, I was supposed to educate you... I..."
Liu Chang and the others had no idea what happened next.
At night, the three of them were so excited that they could hardly sleep.
"It turns out that when my father and his friends were young, they also fought!"
"Yeah, I didn't know that General Xiahou was always beaten to tears by them... Should I go find Xiahou Zao some other day and tell him about it?"
"Forget it. Let's wait until General Xiahou Ying is out. If he is in Chang'an, forget it. If he drives a chariot to chase us, there will be no way to hide..."
"My king? Why don't you speak?"
Liu Chang puffed up his cheeks and said, "Father actually has the nerve to beat me up!!!"
Liu Chang stayed at Fan Kuai's house for one night and went back the next day. However, when he returned to the Pepper Room, Empress Lu did not say much. After all, they were all family. Empress Lu was also very kind to Fan Kang and often asked Liu Chang to bring them some snacks. This was a treatment that no one else had.
"Chang...why don't you ever play with Lu and Zhong?"
While eating breakfast, Empress Lu suddenly asked.
What Empress Lü was talking about, of course, were Lü Shizhi's two sons.
Liu Chang said disdainfully : "Those two people with the surname Lu... er... ahem, mother, they are the ones who don't want to play with me."
"They are about your age. Go look for them more often when you have time. They are your relatives too, okay?"
"only!"
