Chapter 225 - Shocking news
Long Xiangtian will go back to Jingzhou once a year, the purpose is to visit Liu Biao, after all, as someone else's nephew, it is right to go back to visit.
Because Nanhua Xianweng is his master, and Nanhua is kind to Liu Biao, so Liu Biao recognized Long Xiangtian as a nephew, treat him like a nephew, amiable, over the years, help Long Xiangtian everywhere, therefore, Long Xiangtian in his heart is to recognize his Uncle Liu, these years, although Liu Biao also wants to train Long Xiangtian to assist his son as the lord of Jingzhou in the future, but after all, there is no bad heart for Long Xiangtian, therefore, Long Xiangtian will return to Jingzhou every year to visit Uncle Liu.
At the end of that year, when Long Xiangtian returned to Jingzhou to visit Liu Biao, Liao Hua and Wu Dun were wandering the streets of Luoyang.
"Brother Dun, why do you say that if you hadn't met Xiangtian at the beginning, you don't know what would have happened like this?" Liao Hua asked Wu Dun with emotion.
"Back then, the man surnamed Ma did not hesitate to join us for money, if it weren't for the outbreak of Xiangtian, we would have already been in the wilderness and eaten by beasts!" Wu Dun smiled bitterly.
Liao Hua said: "If it weren't for Xiangtian, even if we weren't planted in the hands of others, we would be in the mountains for a lifetime, and it would be impossible to achieve anything in our lives. β
"Not only that!" Wu Dun added: "We are now in the imperial capital, and thanks to the blessing of the heavens, we can serve as guards at the north city gate, and we also have a good fortune to receive every month, although it is not much, but it is enough for us." β
"Hey, Xiangtian is too good to us, but I see that Xiangtian is sometimes sad, and we have no place to help him, but he also gave us a storage ring and a talisman jade pendant for us, as a big brother, I am really ashamed!" Liao Hua raised his right hand, looked at the storage ring that Long Xiangtian gave him and said,
"While we don't have to take up our duties today, why don't we also buy some gifts for Xiangtian and talk about our hearts?" Wu Dun suggested.
"How can we have so much money! Most of the money is spent on cultivation every month, if it weren't for Xiangtian's repeated requests that we focus on cultivation, and even put money on us, I would be reluctant to spend so many low-grade spirit coins on cultivation!" Liao Hua said.
"We also mean, where to give what valuables, as the so-called courtesy is light and affectionate, just have this heart to be a brother, I believe that Xiangtian will not dislike the gift we gave him!" Wu Dun persuaded.
Liao Hua felt that Wu Dun was right, so he said: "That's fine, then let's hurry up, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it will snow in the next few days, I don't want to keep turning on the body protection qi and walking slowly against the cold wind!"
So the two walked briskly to choose a gift for Long Xiangtian, but they kept staring at them with cold eyes in the dark.
And at this time, in an inconspicuous room in the Imperial Capital Forbidden Palace, a middle-aged person sat in the hall, drinking fairy tea, listening to the report of one of his subordinates.
"My lord, I have found out that the two people who carried the young master's belongings are the soldiers guarding the city gate at the north city gate. The black-clad man reported.
The middle-aged man put down the teacup and asked lightly, "What is your background?"
"The two are the sworn brothers of Long Xiangtian, the general of the North City Gate Order. The black-clothed subordinate said.
"Long Xiangtian?"
"Long Xiangtian, did not establish the road number, speculated that it was in the middle of the realm of the Jiedan, for the Jingzhou Thorn History recognized by the righteous nephew, the true origin is unknown, once participated in the battle against the Yellow Turban, so he made a contribution, was sealed the North City Gate under the command of a general, usually pay attention to cultivation, in addition to returning to Jingzhou once a year, rarely go out except work, and is now located in the Jingzhou Thorn History Mansion. The man in black told the middle-aged man about Long Xiangtian's information.
"It turned out to be the nephew of Jingzhou Thorn Shi. Hearing this, the middle-aged man finally had some interest, so he said: "When Yuan'er's soul lamp was extinguished, I knew that he was dead outside, and he had specially sent someone out to inquire about the news, but he found nothing, and now someone is actually carrying my poor child's things to swagger through the imperial capital, is it really deceiving me!"
It turned out that this middle-aged man was Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent servants, and among the people that Long Xiangtian killed on the periphery of the 100,000 Mountains back then, it was Zhang Rang's righteous son who was the leader, but Long Xiangtian didn't take it seriously at the beginning, and now he has long forgotten that those two things have something to do with Zhang Rang, so he gave Liao Hua and Wu Dun no reminders, and as a result, Zhang Rang's subordinates were targeted.
"The subordinates thought that although Liu Jingzhou was the lord of a state and a relative of the Han family, he should not dare to openly oppose the adults, maybe they didn't know that those two things belonged to the young master, so they dared to wear them unscrupulously. The man in black said.
Zhang Rang angrily slammed the cup and said: "Hmph, I don't know, whether they know it or not, since they took my son's things, it has something to do with them, Zhang Er, you take someone to arrest those two people for me, and when Long Xiangtian comes back, he will also arrest me!"
The man in black named Zhang Er hurriedly said: "My lord, after all, Long Xiangtian is Liu Jingzhou's nephew, if we arrest him, how will we explain to Liu Jingzhou?"
Zhang Rang said disdainfully: "Hmph! What is he Liu Jingsheng, but he is a foreign state assassin history, even if he is in the imperial capital, Benjun will not be afraid of him at all, in this world, who is still the opponent of our ten permanent servants, even Zhang Jiao, who can control the power of thunder, is still defeated in our hands, Zhang Er, you remember for me, what Benjun cares about is not who the righteous son killed, but who swept the face of the monarch and asked others to carry the things I gave to the righteous son, and it is still in the imperial capital, this is the shame of the monarch, Zhang Er, after you go to arrest those two people, torture me and ask the origin of those two thingsοΌβ
Zhang Er was about to retire, but suddenly heard Zhang Rang stop him and say, "Wait, no matter whether Yuan'er's death is related to them or not, the two of them don't have to stay." β
"Yes, my lord, Zhang Er understands that he will not disappoint his adult!"
A few days later, Long Xiangtian returned to the imperial capital, and was about to enter the North City Gate, which was still some distance away from the City Gate, but he suddenly found that the North City Gate Order was walking towards him, and he was very anxious, Long Xiangtian felt strange, so he stepped forward to ask what happened to the North City Gate Order.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you in such a hurry?" Long Xiangtian asked with a smile.
The North City Gate Order and Long Xiangtian usually have a good relationship, and Long Xiangtian calls him Brother Liu.
But seeing Liu Chengmen, he said anxiously: "I said Xiangtian! You can still laugh, you can run quickly, while the people of the Ten Standing Servants have not found you, run quickly, run back to Jingzhou, and never come to Jingzhou again!"
"What's the matter, Brother Liu, what's going on?" Long Xiangtian asked with a puzzled expression.
"How could you offend Lord Zhang Rang Zhenjun, who was a member of the Ten Permanent Servants? People are now waiting for you to come into the city and catch you? Run, but don't follow in the footsteps of your two brothers!" said Liu Chengmen.
"Ten permanent attendants? Zhang Rang...... Well, Zhenjun, when did I offend him?" Long Xiangtian hadn't figured out what was going on, but he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly grabbed Liu Chengmenling's arm and said, "What, my eldest brother, second brother, what did you say, what happened to my eldest brother and second brother?"
Although his arm hurt a little from being grabbed by Long Xiangtian, Liu Chengmen Ling did not blame Long Xiangtian, but pulled Long Xiangtian's hand away, sighed and said: "Hey, Brother Xiangtian, you don't know, just these days after you left, Lord Zhang Rang Zhenjun suddenly sent someone to arrest your two brothers, and a few days later, he was beheaded directly at the noon gate, and it is said that when they came out, both of them were tortured beyond recognition, and finally their souls were scattered, and even the corpse capital was burned clean by real fire." β
"What!" Long Xiangtian exclaimed
Shocked by this bad news, Long Xiangtian was suddenly angry, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, almost spraying on Liu Chengmen Ling's body, but was dodged by Liu Chengmen's order.
"Brother Xiangtian, don't worry, fortunately I met you first, you still have a chance to live, run now, otherwise it will be too late!" Liu Chengmen Ling said.
"No, eldest brother, second brother, I want to avenge them!" Long Xiangtian roared angrily.
Liu Chengmen Ling hurriedly grabbed Long Xiangtian, looked around and said: "You are stupid! People are ten permanent servants, Yuanying Zhenjun, just rely on you as a small Jiedan real person, how can you fight others, and people live in the palace, how can you take revenge? Hurry up and run! As the so-called staying in Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, now, you quickly flee back to Jingzhou to hide, with the relationship that you are Liu Jingzhou's nephew, it is impossible for people to go to Jingzhou to move you, as for the future...... Let's find another opportunity in the future, maybe people will forget you when their anger is gone!"
Where could Long Xiangtian listen to Liu Chengmen's words, his eldest brother and second brother were killed, Long Xiangtian's heart was full of infinite hatred, Cangming called Long Xiangtian in his heart, suppressed Long Xiangtian's hatred, and avoided Long Xiangtian from being affected by hatred, but found that this hatred was difficult to suppress, until Liu Chengmen's order slapped Long Xiangtian, which made Long Xiangtian sober up.
Long Xiangtian knew that he really couldn't be the opponent of the Ten Standing Servants, and Zhang Rang stayed in the palace, there were countless people under him, and he had no chance of revenge, and he didn't understand why Zhang Rang would kill his eldest brother and second brother, and he still wanted to arrest himself, although Long Xiangtian couldn't wait to rush to the city now to dismantle Zhang Rang, but Long Xiangtian knew that this was an impossible thing to achieve, and impulse could not take revenge. Long Xiangtian could only hold back his grief and leave first and then make another plan, but Long Xiangtian had already made up his mind, the revenge of the eldest brother and the second brother could not be avenged, and he would definitely let Zhang Rang pay for his blood debts!
