In the small courtyard.

Liu Yiyan, Wu Shuang and Ge Jun sat down at the stone table.

"I don't know what Master Liu is looking for us?"

After Wu Shuang sat down, he asked Liu Yanyan, who was sitting opposite the stone table.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Can General Wu still remember the agreement with the old man?"

"Of course Wu remembers!"

Wu Shuang was shocked.

A bad feeling arises in the heart.

Liu Yiyan said: "Since General Wu has not forgotten...... Then the old man wanted to take Yang Hao away. ”

Wu Shuang and Ge Jun's faces changed drastically.

I'm really afraid of something!

Ge Jun asked anxiously, "I don't know why Master Liu suddenly made this decision?"

"Mr. Ge, the old man and General Wu made an agreement, and you were also present at the time. ”

Liu looked at the two of them with some displeasure, and said: "I promised to participate in the battle for mining rights in the name of your Wu Bang, in exchange, you provide Yang Hao with the jade rough he needs in his studies, the premise is that Wu Bang is safe, once Wu Bang is in danger, the old man can take Yang Hao away unconditionally, is this right?" ”

Ge Jun sneered: "But Wu Bang is not in danger at the moment!"

"Isn't there any danger?"

Liu stared at Ge Jun and asked, "What do you say about the casualties of Hong Ying and the others today?"

"This ...... Didn't they go out and get ambushed by robbers?"

Ge Jun sighed secretly and said forcefully.

Although he knew that there was no point in doing so, he still wanted to take a chance.

"More than 300 people can die in an ambush?"

Liu Yan smiled and said: "The old man has been traveling south and north for so many years, and he thinks he still has some knowledge, but I have never heard of any robber who can ambush the elite of the army as scheduled, which is even more serious than the casualties of both sides in a large battle!"

Ge Jun said with some confidence: "Isn't that because the enemy is prepared, and our side is not even short of basic ammunition." ”

"Okay! When Hong Ying and the others really encountered the robbers and caused casualties in the case of insufficient preparation, then may I ask Mr. Ge ......?"

Liu paused at a glance and said word by word: "What happened to the loss of jade material that Hong Ying said just now?"

"This ......"

Ge Jun was dumbfounded and turned his head to look at Wu Shuang.

He has always been able to speak well, but on this matter, he really doesn't know how to answer.

And everyone understands people, and making up random things will only make Liu look down on them at a glance.

Wu Shuang took a deep breath and glanced at Liu and said, "Master Liu, we have a word about this matter first, you can leave at any time." ”

The whole thing happened, Liu Yiyan was next to him and heard it clearly, Wu Shuang felt that there was no need to quibble about these facts that had happened.

What's more, this matter can't be hidden, Liu Yiyan will know sooner or later, and in this way, it is better to admit it generously, so as not to hurt each other's harmony.

"Thank you General Wu for your understanding. ”

Liu glanced at Wu Shuang.

"Master Liu is polite!"

Wu Shuang seemed to say these words with all his might.

After finishing speaking, the whole person sat on the chair with a deflated face like a deflated leather ball.

The funds are insufficient, and even Liu Yiyan has to choose to leave.

Is it really the death of my Wu Bang?

Wu Shuang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Ge Jun asked a little unwillingly, "Master Liu, don't you really think about staying?"

Liu Yiyan directly refused: "No, the old man has never participated in the battle between any forces, and this time I promised you because of Yang Hao and his grandfather." ”

"Understood!"

Ge Jun nodded and said, "But Wu Bang is still very safe at the moment!"

"Hong Ying and the others have an accident, can they still be said to be safe?"

Liu Yan scoffed at Ge Jun's statement, but seeing the lost appearance of the two, he thought about it and asked, "What did Mr. Ge say about this?"

Seeing that Liu was interested, Ge Jun instantly came to his senses, and told Wu Bang's current situation in 1510.

After Liu Yan listened, he fell silent.

Ge Jun saw that there was a play, and hurriedly added: "The surrounding forces are all hindered by the rules of the Southern Federation, and they don't dare to attack us for the time being, they just intercept the jade material, they don't want our jade material to be realized, and they just want us to perish on our own, or Master Liu, you still consider staying, right?"

Liu Yiyan shook his head and said, "No, the old man decided to leave with Yang Hao." ”

"Let's end this matter, we don't have enough funds, and it's in vain for Master Liu to stay!"

Wu Shuang directly waved his hand to Ge Jun, who still wanted to persuade him, and asked Liu at a glance, "I don't know when Master Liu is going to leave?"

Ge Jun wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that Wu Shuang had given up persuasion, he had to shake his head helplessly.

Both sides have said in advance about this matter, and it is really difficult for them to stop it.

As the so-called twisted melon is not sweet.

Even if the funds are solved, it is useless to forcibly leave Liu Yiyan behind.

Because this Xiangyu is different from others, the result of Xiangyu lies in Xiangyu Master himself, if it is not sincere, it will be self-defeating.

Liu thought for a moment and replied, "Afternoon!"

"Okay......! I'll arrange for Hong Ying and them to heal first, and then come over in the afternoon to see you off. ”

Wu Shuang smiled a little reluctantly.

"Then there is General Lao Wu!"

Liu Yiyan thanked Wu Shuang.

Wu Shuang nodded, and motioned to Ge Jun with a gloomy expression, and the two got up and walked towards the compound.

Liu glanced at the two people who left, his face changed, and finally turned into a long sigh.

originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to take Yang Hao away, but he didn't expect Wu Shuang to agree so easily.

It is no accident that I have been able to live to this day, it is because I have my own principles, and many old friends have left forever because of this.

Wu Shuang and Ge Jun returned to the compound dejectedly.

Chen Song saw that the faces of the two of them were not very good-looking, so he got up and asked, "Brother Wu, is something happening?"

"It's okay, what's the matter!"

Wu Shuang barely squeezed out a smile at Chen Song, patted Chen Song's shoulder, and said, "Let's go back first." ”

"Good!"

Chen Song saw that Wu Shuang was reluctant to say, so he didn't want to ask.

Wu Shuang said to Hong Ying and the others, who had finished eating and were sitting silently on the jade rough, "Let's go." ”

Immediately, someone stepped forward to help Coax Ying and the others.

Wu Shuang glanced at the small courtyard, sighed, turned around and left with Hong Ying and the others.

"Yang Hao, come on. ”

After the sound of vehicles at the gate of the compound was far away, Liu Yiyan's shout came from the small courtyard.

"Here we are, master!"

Yang Hao heard the sound and immediately ran towards the small courtyard.

Chen Song looked at Yang Hao's back, full of questions in his heart.

"It's weird, it looks like something terrible has happened!"

Chen Song muttered, took a few steamed buns, and sat down on a piece of jade rough to eat.

"Master, is there something wrong?"

Yang Hao ran into the small courtyard and asked Liu Yan who was sitting at the stone table with some trepidation.

Just now, he saw that after the master finished chatting with General Wu and Mr. Ge, the two of them came out with a bad face.

When Liu saw Yang Hao coming in, he immediately ordered: "You go and pack your things, and we will leave Wu Bang later." ”

"Leaving Wu Bang?"

Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, and asked in a bit of a panic: "Master, this is good...... Why did you leave all of a sudden?"

For this place where he has lived for more than ten years, Yang Hao has always had an inseparable sense of belonging, and when he suddenly heard that he was leaving, he subconsciously resisted.

"Because Wu Bang is not safe now, we have to leave as soon as possible!"

Liu thought about it for a while, and still roughly told Yang Hao about Wu Bang's current situation.

Yang Hao didn't expect that Wu Bang, who seemed to be calm, had already been secretly surging with undercurrents and faced so many unsolvable difficulties.

"Go, hurry up and pack your things, and we'll leave in the afternoon. ”

Liu Yiyan commanded again.

"Master......"

Yang Hao didn't move, and stood in place with a look of wanting to say something.

"If you have any ideas, just say it, it's okay. ”

As a person who has come over, Liu Yiyan can understand Yang Hao's mood very well.

People are social animals with feelings, even if they usually leave the house and lie far away, they will be reluctant, not to mention that they will never return after leaving.

Yang Hao grew up here with his grandfather since he was a child, although his grandfather is no longer there, but after all, he has lived here for so many years, he is familiar with everything here, and it is human nature to have feelings for this place.

Yang Hao pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to say, "Master, I don't think we should leave now!"

After speaking, Yang Hao lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu's reaction, and felt that his whole body was trembling.

"Oh?"

Liu looked at Yang Hao with some surprise and asked, "What do you say?"

Yang Hao whispered a little: "That's it...... It's that I think we should stay and help Wu Bang. ”

"You sit down and talk slowly. ”

Liu glanced at Yang Hao, and he was also very curious about Yang Hao's thoughts.

Yang Hao sat down cautiously, looked at Liu nervously, and asked in a low voice, "Master...... Can I ask you a few questions?"

Liu glanced at Yang Hao's helpless appearance and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, if there is anything you want to ask, you can ask slowly." ”

All this time, he had never penetrated into the inner thoughts of this apprentice.

Yang Hao's voice trembled a little and asked, "Master...... What do you think is Xiangyushi?"

"Xiangyu Master?"

Liu was stunned.

Some don't understand why Yang Hao asked this question that everyone knows.

The word Xiangyushi comes from the story of Bian He Xianyu, and the ancestor of this Xiangyushi is Bian He.

According to "Han Feizi · It is recorded in the "Heshi" that Bian He of the Chu State obtained an uncarved piece of jade in Jing Mountain, and held it to present it to the king of Chu.

King Li asked the jade craftsman to identify it, and the jade craftsman said that it was an ordinary stone, so King Li thought that Bian was a cheater and committed the crime of defrauding the king, so he cut off Bian He's left foot.

After the death of King Chu Li, King Wu succeeded to the throne, Bian He held the piece of jade to present to King Wu, King Wu asked the jade craftsman to identify, just like last time, the jade craftsman said that it was an ordinary stone, and King Wu also thought that Bian He was cheating, so he ordered Bian He's right foot to be cut off.

After the death of King Wu, King Wen ascended the throne, Bian He hugged Puyu and cried at the foot of Jing Mountain, crying for a few days and nights, crying dry tears, and crying blood.

When King Wen heard this, he sent someone to find out why he was crying, and asked, "There are many people in the world who have been punished by amputation, why are you crying so sadly?"

Bian He said: "I am not sad that my feet are cut off, but I am sad that Baoyu is called a stone, and loyal people are called liars, and this is the reason for my sadness." ”

This time, King Wen asked the jade craftsman to carefully process and ponder this piece of jade, and sure enough, he found that it was a rare treasure jade, so he named it "He's Bi".

It can be said that jade is easy to obtain, but jade masters are hard to find, so the person who can distinguish the jade is called the jade master.

Yang Hao didn't understand what he meant when he saw Liu Yanyan, and hurriedly added: "What I mean is the meaning of Xiangyushi's existence, why does Xiangyushi have a lofty status and be so respected in our place?"
