Liu Yong, who ran out in a hurry, was about fifty years old, with a white face and a little fat in his body.

He was visibly stunned when he saw the person waiting at the door, and then hid his surprised expression.

This middle-aged man with a shy stomach is dressed up by Guan Xingji.

Guan Xingji smiled and said, "Brother Liu is promoted, and the junior brother has come to congratulate you." ”

Liu Yong's face recovered and showed a very enthusiastic look: "Where, where, it's just a transfer, why are you even alarmed." ”

Guan Xingji smiled: "Brother Liu, are you welcome to come uninvited?" ”

Liu Yong hurriedly said: "How dare you, my brother Tai is here, making Peng Shen shine, wouldn't saying this kill Liu?" Please come indoors. ”

Guan Xingji nodded and instructed Gu Pan: "You just stay in the gatehouse." He turned to Fang Xiao again: "You go in with me." ”

The three of them went into the inner courtyard together.

Came to the study in the inner courtyard, served tea, and opened the others, Liu Yong looked at the servant beside Guan Xingji, and his face was pale.

Guan Xingji said: "This is my personal guard, confidant, don't worry." ”

Liu Yong said: "Dare to ask Brother Taigui's surname? ”

Guan Xingji said: "Under the surname Guan."

Liu Yong said: "This jade plate is a thing in the palace, and I was fortunate to see it once, but Brother Tai is a face, and I don't know where to get it." ”

Guan Xingji said: "This is entrusted to the subordinates. The owner of this thing wants to use this thing to ask you a favor. ”

Liu Yong said: "The owner of this thing, is it from the palace?" ”

Guan Xingji said: "The owner of this thing." You've seen it not too long ago. You also asked him to bring some things back to the palace. He smiled slightly: "The people in the palace are very satisfied." ”

Liu Yong's face suddenly became solemn: "It's a trivial matter, it's the duty of the lower officials, and I don't dare to slack off." ”

Guan Xingji said: "I know that you are loyal, so the one who is trapped today is here, so I came to ask you for help." ”

As soon as the suspicion was resolved, Liu Yong's face was sad: "Brother Guan, the official has heard about this matter and is worried about him." ”

"It's good that you have this heart." Guan Xingji said: "Is there a way to stop him from getting out of trouble?" ”

Liu Yong's face was even more sad: "In the past, in Wangjing, the lower officials still had some real power. Here it is. But it's a little difficult to do. ”

Guan Xingji's face sank: "Since you don't want to help, and I don't want to implicate you, I'll leave." ”

Seeing that he was about to stand up and leave, Liu Yong hurriedly stopped: "That's not what Xia Guan meant. Please sit down for a while. Listen to me in detail. ”

Guan Xingjian had a cold face. "Hmm" and sat down again.

Liu Yong said in a low voice: "Xia Guan already has some knowledge of the upcoming changes here. Early days. I've reported this change to Beijing.,Presumably Jingli is about to receive news.。 ”

Guan Xingji nodded.

Liu Yong said again: "Since King Shen has already had a different intention, how can he easily let the nobles escape at this moment?" Now that the city has laid a net of heaven and earth, if they want to act at this time, they are afraid that their wish will be fulfilled. ”

Guan Xingji nodded again: "What Brother Liu is worried about is that he is thinking too simply. ”

Liu Yong said: "So you have to be more careful now, the subordinate means to hold the troops first, and then try to figure out when they are relaxed." ”

Guan Xingji frowned: "How long do you have to stay here?" Hiding in Tibet all day long is not an option. ”

Liu Yong said: "My house is big, and I'm moving, so it's okay for a few more people in the family to come out." If that noble man doesn't dislike it, he can stay here for a while. Xia Guan is also an official, and he can't find out where Xia Guan is here. ”

Guan Xingji said: "Although this is a good place to stay, it can't stay for a long time. ”

Liu Yong said: "You are right, naturally you can't stay for a long time." It's just that the lower officials feel that the things that King Shen has planned for so long have been exposed, and he can't delay, fight or retreat, and there must always be a decision. He is more anxious than us, as long as he makes a move, whether he fights or retreats, there will be a vacancy, and our opportunity will come back. ”

Guan Xingji asked, "So what does Brother Liu mean to wait?" ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "In the opinion of the lower officials, it is best not to move now, so as to respond to all changes." ”

Guan Xingji sighed: "Jiang is really old and spicy, the younger brother blamed Brother Liu before, and he also looked at Brother Liu Haihan." ”

Liu Yong arched his hand and said: "Whatever Brother Guan says, he is doing things for his master, so he will be worried and anxious. ”

Guan Xingji said: "The junior brother is really not as far-sighted as Brother Liu, and he is ashamed. ”

Liu Yong said: "I don't know where the nobles are now?" ”

Guan Xingji said: "The noble person needs to be careful in his actions, so he first ordered me to throw stones to ask for directions, since I know Brother Liu's loyalty, the younger brother will go to inform the nobleman, and then he will be brought here, Brother Liu, you should prepare first." ”

Liu Yong hurriedly nodded: "The lower officials are here to wait for the nobles." ”

He was about to go out to see off guests, Guan Xingji waved his hand: "You get ready first, you don't need to send us out, the movement is too big, it's not good to be seen." ”

Liu Yong nodded yes.

Guan Xingji and Fang Xiao walked out of the inner courtyard, and took Gu Pan out of Liu's house.

Dozens of steps away from the house, there was a beggar-like man, who was lazily leaning against the corner of the wall to bask in the sun. Seeing the three of them come out, he shook his head at Guan Xingji silently.

Guan Xingji understood and took the two of them away.

They turned around and came to the alley, and Guan Xingji said, "No one is following." ”

Gu Pan said: "I was in the gatehouse, and I didn't see anyone coming in or out. ”

Fang Xiao said: "All of his coping reactions are normal, and his expression is not abnormal. ”

"My beggar friend didn't notice the situation either." Guan Xingji said again: "Staring at him for a day first, if there is no abnormality, this person can be reassured." ”

Several people are considered human beings, and they are very careful in their work.

Guan Xingji thought for a while and said, "You guys go back to the wine cellar for another day, and outside Liu Yong's door, it's better for me to keep an eye on it personally." When I am completely at ease with him, I will come and pick you up. ”

Fang Xiao said: "Okay." ”

The two stayed in the cellar for another day and night, and on the evening of the second day, Guan Xingji came: "Except for the mother-in-law who bought vegetables and went out for a while, no one in his house behaved abnormally. The woman also had my people following her, and she bought vegetables and went back to the house without delay. It happened to be Liu Yongxiu's turn today, and he didn't take half a step out of the house. ”

Fang Xiao said: "Okay, then let's go over." ”

This time they did not enter through the gate again, but climbed over the wall and quietly landed in the courtyard.

Gu Pan was carried by them, and they also experienced what it means to fly the eaves and walk the wall.

At this time, it was late at night, but Liu Yong's study was still lit. Guan Xingji stepped forward and knocked on it, and called in a low voice, "Brother Liu." ”

The door opened immediately, Liu Yong's anxious and expectant face was revealed, and then he let out a long breath: "It's finally here, so I don't have to worry." ”

He dodged and let the three in.

In addition to Guan Xingji, the other two were the two servants from yesterday, Liu Yong's expression was a little hesitant; "What about the nobles?" (To be continued.) )
