Chapter Seventy-Four: Hanging the Seal and Leaving the Seal
"Immediately take good meat and feed the fowl. Liu Qi came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered.
"Is there any news about Wang Han's army of 30,000? Liu Qi asked again.
"No, there is no news from everyone who entered the mountain. Liu Lu replied.
"It's broken, it's broken, this time it must have stabbed the hornet's nest, and the four King Kongs under Luo Feihu are definitely going to rebel......" Liu Qi said incoherently.
"Otherwise, I will summon all the commanders in Xiangyang City to discuss. Liu Lu asked tentatively.
"When is this, you still care about this, quickly send someone to find the young master, and pack up all the gold and silver in the house, and all the famous porcelain and ancient paintings. and then to the treasury to pay 50,000 taels of silver. Liu Qi said with a clear mind.
"It's too cumbersome to carry so much silver, and it's useless to talk about these things, so it's better to bring a silver ticket. Liu Lu reminded him.
"You don't know, from Jingzhou back to the capital, you have to pass through Jiangxia County, on the Li River in Jiangxia County, there is a northern evil god, ordinary people only need a copper plate to cross the bridge, and I wait for the people of the court to cross the bridge but to ask for a tael of silver, if you don't bring enough silver, I'm afraid that it is not enough to pay the bridge toll, is it to ask Jiang Zihe, the lord of Jianghu County, to raise it. It's better to bring more peace of mind with yourself. Liu Qi said distraughtly.
All of a sudden, the Liu Mansion, which was as deep as the sea just now, was full of people, and the family and maids were busy. From time to time, there was the sound of porcelain being broken.
Xiangyang City's daughter Hong, in the Qinglou, if he ranks second, no one dares to count first. Although the name is elegant, it is just a place of wind and moon. Dare to name her daughter red because the owner here once boasted of Haikou, all the girls with red daughters must be the yellow flower girl who guards her body like jade before entering the daughter red. Therefore, the consumption of daughter red is not something that ordinary people can afford.
opened in Xiangyang City, such an eye-catching brothel, it really doesn't matter if it doesn't matter. Behind her daughter Hong, the big proprietor is Liu Batian, the eldest brother of the Empress Dowager. Saying Liu Batian's name will be shocking, the generalissimo who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, which one dares to provoke?
At this time, Liu Silkworm was in the Narcissus Residence of her daughter Hong, and was engaged in a human flesh war with the top brand Narcissus Fairy here. The sound of the crash reached the ears of Liu Zhong, who was guarding the door, and Liu Zhong, who was ashamed, was red-faced.
Liu Zhong is Liu Lu's son, he is only eighteen years old this year, he is very athletic, he looks loyal, and he has never gone through personnel. Like too many big families, when the son of the head of the mansion can walk at birth, he must learn to serve the young master. After the old master passed away, the new young master succeeded to the throne, and he became the chief steward justifiably.
Because of the good martial arts he learned from his father since he was a child, he was deeply valued by Liu Silkworm. Liu Silkworm regretted from time to time that when he went to Wansheng Casino, he didn't take Liu Zhong with him. Otherwise, he would not be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, leaving a handle in Xiangyang City.
In the past, when Liu Silkworm and Narcissus Fairy, when the human flesh war, Liu Zhong sat downstairs in Yazhu drinking tea and eating snacks. Since drinking the decoction of Hedu, Liu Silkworm has been greatly strengthened, and the movement is getting bigger and bigger every time, and there are always good people who climb the wall and spy on the movements inside. In order to have more conversations in the teahouse and restaurant the next day, Liu Silkworm had no choice but to wronged Liu Zhong every time he did good deeds, and asked him to stay outside the door.
The sound of the divine whip inside became more and more fierce every time, like a fierce horse beating a war drum, Liu Silkworm was sweating profusely, because of the excessive force, the muscles on his body were round. The moans of the narcissus fairies rose higher and higher. It was like a natural sound from outside the sky, knocking deeply on Liu Zhong's heart. Liu Zhong seemed to be scratched by five claws, and his heart was itching somehow.
At this time, when he saw his father Liu Lu, he broke in at a gallop. Seeing Liu Zhong standing at the door, he didn't say hello to him, raised his foot, and kicked the door open.
Bang.
The door panel is open...... The spring light inside was exposed, and the white and moist spring color fell into Liu Zhong's eyes and couldn't pull it out.
"Ah......h
"Young master, the master is in a hurry to find you. Liu Lu shouted anxiously.
"There is such urgency in what matter, I can't even wait for this moment or three. Liu Silkworm said with sweat on his face, and the Optimus Pillar under his crotch was still standing proudly.
He didn't dare to lose his temper with Liu Lu, Liu Qi was a hands-off shopkeeper, Liu Silkworm's money every month was taken from him, if he angered Liu Lu, I am afraid that the future will not be so chic.
Liu Lu's fingers flicked on Liu Silkworm's ring jumping point, and the Optimus Pillar, which was still standing proudly just now, suddenly weakened. It's like a frightened turtle that has its head tucked into its shell.
"100,000 are in a hurry, wait a while, it may lead to death, otherwise the old slave will not dare to be so anxious. Liu Lu said anxiously.
Liu Silkworm was frightened, Liu Lu's personality he knew very well, there was the ability of Mount Tai to collapse, as before, and his face did not change color. Even the clothes were not neatly dressed, but Liu Lu was still there to help. The three of them hurried away......
He was standing in the attic of the Wansheng Casino at this time, looking at the bustling gamblers below, and when he picked up a large amount of silver taels to bet, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He finally went from a gambler in the quagmire to a gorgeous turn and became the owner of the casino. This is also thanks to my cheap brother-in-law, don't look at the insults to yourself when you are in the capital. When I had benefits, I still didn't forget my brother-in-law.
Suddenly, a very special guest came to the gambling house, Liu Shun, the steward of the Liu Mansion, with a solemn face on his face, hurriedly walked to his side, and directly hugged his fists and said, "Gongzi He, my lord has something urgent, please come over." ”
He dodged with a look of consternation, but he still hurriedly entered Liu's mansion with Liu Shun.
At this time, Liu Qi sat in the lobby in a little panic, and the figures in the house were shuttling, so it was not lively, but there was a panic hidden, and when he saw He hiding in, he did not have the polite enthusiasm he used to have.
He hid in his heart, not knowing what would happen next.
"Just now, all the birds brought by Lord Qincha came back, but the birds were empty on their backs, not even Wang Han's 30,000 troops were nowhere to be seen, and the men and horses of Kyushumen were even more silent, they may have suffered miserably, whether Gongzi He will continue to stay in Xiangyang or return to the capital. Let me first explain that if you go back to Beijing, you have to find your own way, the old man doesn't have the energy to take you, from Xiangyang back to the capital, the middle road is not thousands of miles, and now the world is not very peaceful. It's better to stay in Xiangyang and help take care of my Liufu's industry. Liu Qi said eloquently, as if he was talking about trivial matters.
When he heard this, his whole body was like being struck by lightning, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. In the bottom of my heart, I don't know how many times I have cursed my brother-in-law, and now his life and death are uncertain. He didn't have any news, but he suffered himself. As Liu Qi said, returning to the capital alone is tantamount to an idiot's dream. It's better to stay in Xiangyang City, at least you can get drunk today.
Hedodge squeezed out a few sad tears. Although this brother-in-law usually doesn't have a good face for himself, after all, he is a family, and he can't bear to hear the news suddenly.
"The little nephew is willing to take care of the property of the Liu Mansion, but the little nephew, he can't write poetry, and he can't lift a knife in martial arts. I'm afraid that I will live up to the good intentions of the lord of the house. Hedok said worriedly.
"He Gongzi, you are too modest, you take Wansheng Casino, this hand is very clever, and the old man is also amazed, he is really a hero. If the dog can have half of your means, I am afraid that in his sleep, the old man will wake up with a smile, and the dog and He Gongzi are like brothers, and the old man will hand over the family business to you at ease. Liu Qi said from the bottom of his heart.
"But now in this world, there is no strong backer, and the little nephew is afraid that he will not be able to hold the helm steadily. Hedok said worriedly.
"Hahahaha......" Liu Qi smiled: "My eldest brother is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and the eldest sister is more expensive as the queen mother today, isn't such a powerful backer reliable?"
If you hadn't sensed the danger, would you have abandoned your property and returned to Beijing in such a hurry? ”
"Don't worry, before leaving, I will greet Qi Long, who is the commander of the army here. If you are in Xiangyang City, no one will dare to provoke you with a finger. Liu Qi said with a package ticket.
He can only accept it resignedly. At the same time, I secretly rejoiced in my heart. Losing the blessing of his brother-in-law Bai Mangqi, it is not bad to be able to carry the thick waist of Liu Fu.
The lobby of Jingzhou Mansion gathered, and the civil and military generals who came in a hurry. Liu Qi sat in the lobby with a dignified face.
"In a few days, it will be the eldest princess of my dynasty, the 100-day banquet of the princess of Qiushui, which was originally scheduled, and the minister of the Qin mission brought our tribute from Jingzhou, and now all the birds have returned, but none of them have returned, and not even a trace of news has come. The minister may have suffered an accident, and my Liu family's bell rings and eats, and he has been a hairpin for generations, and he should have stayed in Jingzhou to solve problems. But the eldest princess's 100-day banquet is the first prosperous era of my Celestial Empire, and we in Jingzhou can't lose our etiquette, so this government decided that I personally bring tribute to Beijing, and Ji Xiaoru is responsible for the political affairs of Jingzhou Mansion, and Qi Long is responsible for military affairs. Liu Qi said solemnly.
The officials and generals looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Ji Xiaoru, who was very addicted to officials, stepped forward and said loudly: "The lower officials must obey the wishes of the adults and keep Jingzhou in good order." ”
The military general Qi Long didn't say anything, just hugged his fists and made a gesture, which was considered a full courtesy. The flattery of the civil servants is clear at a glance.
"After I left, my family's property was taken care of by the minister's brother-in-law, He Gongzi, and I hope that when I come back, I will not hear the news of bullying foreigners, and it will reach my ears. Liu Qi added another sentence before leaving.
The civil and military generals are silent, who dares to think crookedly in the Liu family's industry......
Although it is said that it is just to clean up the soft gold and silver, there are still too many rare treasures in the Liu Mansion. The backs of the fifty birds were full. Liu Qi only brought back ten guards brought from the capital, and even if he went back by flying birds, the bold fanatics wanted to block the road and rob, I am afraid they would not be able to do it. So he brought only ten old men who were loyal to him.
Liu Qi's concubine Hongyu staggered over, because she was in a hurry, and the two big balls on her chest jumped up and down in turbulent waves. The eyes of the family in the house wandered hard.
Liu Qi glanced at it, and everyone hurriedly pulled their eyes back with difficulty. Bow your body as slightly as possible, and use your hands to block the tent under your crotch and slightly upturned.
"Master, how can you not take me back to the capital, I still have to be by my side to untie my master's clothes. At this time, there was a hint of horror in the sweet and crisp voice.
"The capital is a long way away, and you can't stand such fatigue. Liu Qi said with a straight face.
"Master......" Hongyu still wants to make a final struggle.
But as soon as Liu Qi turned around, he never looked at her again.
Ruby stood helplessly in the middle of the courtyard, like an untended weed at the head of the wall.
In the sky of Jingzhou, fifty birds flew in the wind. There are Liu Qi and his son, Liu Lu and his son and ten guards, and the others are large and small bags of rare treasures.
Liu Qi hung up the seal in such a panic and fled to the capital, but he didn't know that the inside of the capital was not calm.
