Chapter 232: The warmth of the Ma nobles

This Liwu County does not belong to the territory of Julu County, and the scourge of the Yellow Turban Army is not the same, it is not so serious.

In this way, the government here is still the same as before. In order to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, which may attack at any time, the guards in this Liwu County are relatively tight, and even now they have not relaxed their vigilance.

The number of officers and soldiers in the county government is several times that of the super normal establishment, and there are also some people from the landlord and scholar families in the county, adding up, there are probably one or two thousand people in the entire county.

Among them, even the Plains Royal Mansion will not be less than five hundred people.

Such a situation is very normal, and it is not surprising that a royal palace has hundreds or even thousands of soldiers and horses. Even, under normal circumstances, the local county government has to listen to the orders of the palace, and the officers and soldiers of the government have to listen to the transfer of the palace.

Of course, because the plain palace in Liwu County has no male host, the palace must no longer be able to control the official mansion.

Ma Guiren is a woman after all, and she can continue to collect food from the local government on behalf of the Plains Palace, but she cannot participate in politics. In peacetime, the government will also maintain a respectful attitude towards her, but it will not let the palace interfere in some military and political affairs.

In fact, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Ma Guiren was not in Liwu County, so now the influence of the Plains Royal Mansion has actually fallen to the lowest point. For the time being, it was the county order and the wealthy families in the city who controlled the county seat.

Liu Xian's caravan did not send people to fight in advance, so when this group of men and horses arrived in Liwu County, Liwu County had already closed the city gate and was ready to fight.

This is also a problem of Liu Xian's lack of experience in doing business in this era. He just paid attention to the safety of the road all the way, and he didn't think of sending someone to Liwu County to report in advance.

But this is not a big deal, he arrived in front of the city, after feeling the tense atmosphere of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, he quickly let his caravan stop, and he and Huang Zhong stepped forward to shout first.

"Come, stop! Where are you from? What are you doing in Liwu County? If there is nothing to do, please leave immediately, otherwise, we will immediately light the beacon, and other counties will immediately send officers and soldiers to support when they see the flames of war, and they will definitely encircle and annihilate you under this city. ”

At the head of the city, a general in battle armor shouted.

Liu Xian looked at the situation at the head of the city and found that many soldiers had already drawn their bows and arrows and were ready to go to war.

couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Liwu County should be capable, otherwise, they would not be ready to defend the city so quickly. They are doing much better than Yang's County.

In this extraordinary period, no matter who the people and horses are, no matter what kind of people come from, no matter how many or twenty-one they are, they should be prepared for the battle first, so there is nothing wrong with being careful. What if it's a thief?

Listening to the general's shouting, Liu Xian also knew that some counties in the vicinity had formed an alliance, and if something happened in one place, each county would send troops to support.

In this way, it is indeed a good way to crack down on some Yellow Turban Army.

"Misunderstanding! Don't get me wrong! ”

Liu Xian naturally did not come to attack this Liwu County, and the officers and soldiers in this city were just on guard and explained the situation clearly.

Liu Xian stepped forward a little more and shouted to the head of the city: "General at the head of the city, please don't misunderstand, we are not waiting for any people, but a caravan, the caravan of Liu Fu in Liulin Village, Xiatao County, Julu County." The translation was to transport some goods to the north, passing through here. ”

"Liufu caravan in Liulin Village, Xiatao County, Julu County?"

The general at the head of the city was stunned when he heard this, because he seemed to have heard of it.

It is indeed not far from Yangshi County, and the news that Liu Xian used more than 2,000 women to sell goods and goods has also spread. So, he had heard of the Liu Mansion caravan.

"You are the Liu Mansion caravan in Liulin Village? A large amount of winter clothes were supplied to General Huangfu Song, so that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court could defeat the Liu Mansion caravan of the Quyang Yellow Turban Army without fear of the cold? ”

"Yes, I am Liu Xian, the owner of the Liu Mansion caravan in Liulin Village. Now that it is cold outside the city, and the wind and snow are blowing, please ask the general to open a convenient gate for the caravan to enter the city to rest. Liu Xian shouted loudly: "May I ask the general's surname?" I have an official guide to prove the identity of our caravan, so that the general can see it. ”

"Your caravan is going into the city? No, no, your caravan looks like there are more than a thousand people, even if there is an official guide. Retreat three miles back and set up camp, but you can enter the city yourself, and you can only bring a maximum of twenty people into the city. The general at the head of the city waved his hand and did not let Liu Xian's caravan enter the city, and only after he finished speaking, did he say: "I am Fang Can, the county lieutenant of Liwu County." ”

Liu Xian was a little speechless when he heard this, this county lieutenant Fang Can was really careful.

After thinking about it, Liu Xian had to move out of the name of Ma Guiren.

"It turned out to be the county lieutenant, General Fang Can. I know that you are worried that my caravan will pose a threat to the security of your county. But you can rest assured, we will not go into the city to make trouble, these caravans are ordinary honest people. You see, it's getting dark, and it's not convenient to camp outside the city. In fact, I don't hide it from General Fang, our caravan is going to the north, and now it is just a detour to Liwu County, I am here to pay a year's greeting to my aunt and mare noble, and I will stay for a day or two at most and leave. Otherwise, please send someone to the Plains Palace, and say that Liu Xian of the Liu Mansion of Liulin Village is here. ”

"The nobleman of the Plains Palace? She's your aunt? Stepmother? When Fang Can heard this, he really couldn't understand for a while, was it an aunt and a stepmother?

However, if this has something to do with Ma Guiren, I'm afraid it is not for him to decide. Although he was a county lieutenant, he was in charge of the officers and soldiers of the county seat and was responsible for the security of the county seat. But the identity of the noble man is too special.

"Then you wait first, and I'll send someone to deliver a message."

Fang Can is not the kind of person who is stubborn and ignorant of the world, he thought about it for a while, and first shouted to Liu Xian under the city, and then he immediately ordered left and right to send someone to the Pingyuan Palace, and in addition, he asked another person to report the situation here to the county order.

Although Liu Xian's name barely spread here, it did not spread widely about Liu Xian.

If you really want to talk about it, someone actually deliberately controlled some rumors.

The fact is not only this Liwu County, but other counties, if they are controlled, they will not easily let Liu Xian's matter spread widely among the people. Because in that case, it is not just a matter of helping Liu Xian become famous, but it will directly affect their problems.

Those wealthy families actually have money and food at home, but they did not help those people who ran out of food like Liu Xian. If Liu Xian's story spreads, wouldn't this set off their inaction? Doesn't it show that they are not kind enough?

Fang Can is just a military general, he only leads the troops to protect the county seat, and he really doesn't know too much about other things.

Liu Xian didn't wait long outside the city.

The gates slowly opened, and a carriage came out of the city.

"Xian'er? Is it really Xian'er? ”

A sound of surprise came from inside the carriage.

When Liu Xian heard it, it was really his beautiful voice.

"It's me, uncle, why did you come out? It's windy outside the city, you don't have to come out, just say a word to the government, and let them open the city gate and let me enter the city. Liu Xian patted his horse to meet the carriage coming out of the city and said to the carriage.

"When the uncle heard that you were coming, she was very happy, you child, why didn't you send someone to say it in advance? Uncle Niang has returned to the Plains Palace, busy dealing with some things, but she has always been worried about you. Come on, don't ride on the horse, get into the carriage of the uncle, it's warm inside. ”

Ma Guiren still opened the curtain of the car, revealing a beautiful face with disgust.

"Ahem...... Auntie, I'm not cold, so I don't have to get into the carriage, besides, I'm covered in wind and snow, and I'm afraid of getting dirty when I get into the carriage. Liu Xian was a little embarrassed, and a little afraid of being alone in a narrow enclosed space with this beautiful uncle.

"Uncle asked you to get into the carriage, can you get in? If you are your uncle's child, will your aunt think you are dirty? Ma Guiren seemed to be a little angry when he heard Liu Xian say that.

"This ...... Uncle, there is a caravan behind me, with more than 1,000 horses. ”

"It's okay, I said hello to them, just go into the city, my aunt also asked someone to wait in the city, and they will settle your caravan."

"That'...... All right. Liu Xian knew that it was difficult to push back, so he had to turn his head and say to Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, you take the caravan into the city, after entering the city, follow the people arranged by my uncle, and then settle the caravan first." ”

"Young master, please rest assured, I will arrange everything." Huang Zhong knew that Ma Guiren's identity was extraordinary, so he also restrained some of his momentum.

"I'm tired, well, by the way, let the carriage of the Huang Xu brothers, as well as Wudie and Xiaojing, all follow." Liu Xian confessed again.

Liu Xian dismounted and got into the stopped carriage.

The carriage was really warm, and it was richly furnished, with a kind of feminine delicacy.

After all, this is a carriage for Ma Guiren to travel long distances, so it will definitely be carefully arranged to be comfortable and comfortable.

The warm heating came from a stove inside the carriage, and coals were burning in it, which was smokeless charcoal.

In addition, it is very angry, the smell that emanates from the woman.

"My nephew visits my uncle. Uncle, this really makes my nephew panic, how dare you bother Uncle, you will go out of the city to pick it up in person? ”

Liu Xian entered the carriage and saluted the noble man who was sitting at the end.

"Okay, don't be too polite, we are mothers, not outsiders. Come on, let my aunt see, I've been cold all the way, right? ”

It can be seen that this Ma nobleman is very fond of this nephew.

Among them, Liu Xian is indeed her own nephew, and it is true that she is the only male member of the Han royal family. But the main reason for Ma Guiren's liking is that Liu Xian is really very pleasing, although Liu Xian is indeed a little similar to his father Liu Kui, and even slightly similar to Liu Shuo, the king of the plains. But in fact, Liu Xian is much more handsome than them, delicate, and her eyebrows are like swords, which makes her feel kind when she sees it.

Ma Guiren took Liu Xian's hand with one hand and pulled Liu Xian to sit beside her.

Liu Xian was naturally unlucky, so he had to sit beside her.

"My good nephew, my aunt has really been thinking about you all the time, God opened his eyes, our old Liu family is a queen. When I came back, I thought that I was going to bring you to the palace at that time. Now that you're here, stay in the palace and accompany your aunt well. ”

Ma Guiren looked a little excited, holding Liu Xian's hand and reluctant to let go, and touching Liu Xian's face with the other hand, as if looking at an extremely precious treasure.

It is also true that Liu Xian is indeed a peerless treasure for Ma Guiren. Nothing is more important than the blood of the Han royal family.

In her heart, no matter what, Liu Xian can't have an accident. At the moment, she is not a nephew, not a righteous son, she really thinks that Liu Xian is her own son.

"Uncle......

Liu Xian is really not used to being touched and watched so spoiled.

Liu Xian wanted to say that he had to leave after a day or two, but he didn't know how to speak at this time.

"Oh no, you shouldn't go out on such a cold day, even if you go out, you have to sit in the carriage, you see, your hands and your face are cold, and you say you're not cold? Don't move, let the aunt give you some warmth. ”

Ma Guiren suddenly became a little nervous, and raised a pair of her jade hands to cover Liu Xian's cheeks, wanting to cover Liu Xian's heat.

Liu Xian is not afraid of cold, but it does not mean that his body will not be frozen. In particular, Liu Xian is unlikely to be able to maintain his Taiping True Qi to resist the cold of nature.

Therefore, Liu Xian's hands and face must be a little cold.

"Heh, uncle, this is all a natural phenomenon, it's not that I really feel cold, so I don't have to be so nervous." Liu Xian couldn't help but chuckle lightly, wanting to take away Ma Guiren's hand.

Alas, Liu Xian is actually in his twenties and thirties, but now he is treated and cared for by a woman as a child. Liu Xian really didn't know how to react, but he was indeed a little moved in his heart, because he really felt that this aunt loved him from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle, let's go back to the palace first...... Hmmm......"

Liu Xian hadn't finished saying this sentence yet, and he suddenly felt his breath suffocated.

It turned out that Ma Guiren felt that it was difficult for her to cover Liu Xian's cold face with her hands for a while, so she simply pulled Liu Xian sideways, and then directly covered Liu Xian's face in her arms.

"Don't move, that's it, you'll be warm in a moment."

Ma Guiren said something that did not allow Liu Xian to struggle.

Liu Xian was really confused.

He didn't know whether it was better to cry or laugh now.

It'sβ€”it's so warm.

It's warm and soft, and it's so big.

At this moment, where will Liu Xian still be cold? At this moment, I felt like I was on fire.

Really, a raging fire rose up.

"Madam, the prefectural commander is here."

Just when Liu Xian was really a little unable to hold on, and the pair of An Luclaws just wanted to move, a report from the coachman came from outside the carriage.
