After Li Xiaofei received the jade bracelet and gold leaves, he wandered around the camps until late at night.

On the second day, it was the second day of August, and Liu Jian convened the whole army for training. Many of the people in the team yawned and dozed off on their spears. Liu Jian stood on a big stone, took off his robe and the gorgeous clothes inside and threw it on the ground, revealing his upper body, and the sergeants standing below suddenly came to their senses, and they were discussing: "What kind of wind is this prince smoking?" and "Is the prince going to show us a hand", Liu Jian drew his sword and slashed lightly on his left arm, and immediately bled out. Liu Jian threw the sword, dipped his right hand in blood and wiped it on his face: "From today on, I am not a prince, but an ordinary person like you." In the past, when the country was peaceful, when we wore gold and silver, ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, and enjoyed wealth and nobility, there was no share of everyone in this world, and everyone suffered hardships and poverty. Now when the country is in trouble, the world is responsible again. I'm bah, this is not fair, why is it only the princes and the big family when they enjoy it, and when they suffer, it is the business of the poor and lowly people? I, Liu Jian, from today onwards, will treat everyone as my relatives and brothers, and I will not take my life in vain with everyone, second, I will eat and live with everyone, and third, I will never deduct the seizure of the city and land. I'm also a rough person, I'll just train these three sentences today", as soon as the words fell, the cheers were thunderous, and a soldier shouted: "Swear to follow the prince to the death, the prince treats us as brothers, can eat and live with us, and we will be content with these words" Then countless words came out: "I have long heard that the prince is the beloved apprentice of Chen Junshi, and he is indeed a famous teacher and a high apprentice", "With such a prince, our Liang Zhongxing is just around the corner", "The last general is willing to carry the whip and stirrup for the prince before and after the saddle, and the labor of filial piety dogs and horses".

Liu Jian jumped off the boulder and hugged the sergeants one by one, and after some interpretation, Liu Jian jumped on the boulder and ordered again: "We are about to attack Chuzhou, and it is the only son in the family who stays in the camp, the father, son and brother are in the army, the children stay in the camp, and the wounded and sick stay in the camp." The rest of the people left for Chuzhou after five days of training with me." After some selection, there were only 800 people left who could go into battle. Liu Jian and Li Xiaofei selected 30 people out of 800 people to be his personal guard, and let Li Xiaofei be the captain.

That night, Liu Jian ordered Li Xiaofei to lead thirty people to the edge of Chuzhou City to spy on the intelligence of Chuzhou City. Li Xiaofei was worried about Liu Jian's safety, after all, Liu Jian had swallowed Wang Xian's men and horses during the day. Liu Jian smiled: "Of the five thousand people, eight hundred people can barely be used, and the rest are only temporarily requisitioned, after conquering Chuzhou, in addition to the eight hundred people selected, I will send money to send the rest back to Jingzhou, first, I can't let them follow us to desperately give their lives, and second, the number of people consumes too much and has no combat power, so it is better to streamline it as soon as possible." I think Wang Xian's original intention was to send me and King Xiping of Qi to death, so that he could support King Jin to control the government of Jin, and he could continue to support the king of Jingling, who came from unknown sources. The old thief is really treacherous. But I just want to survive in a desperate situation! Seeing that Liu Jian was so confident, Li Xiaofei rushed to the edge of Chuzhou City with thirty people overnight.

At noon on the third day of August, Li Xiaofei and his entourage had come to the edge of Chuzhou City, the city gate was wide open, there were traders coming and going on both sides, and many people were still rushing to the market. Li Xiaofei ordered ten people to be left to go into the city with him, five people went back to report the news, and the remaining fifteen people pretended to buy goods outside the city to inquire about the details of the daily city gate switch.

Li Xiaofei entered Chuzhou City and found that this place was much more prosperous than Huaiyang, and there were even Hu people in strange costumes. From time to time, there are beautiful women passing by in horse-drawn carriages in the city to buy silk cloth, silk jewelry, jade, spices, rouge. Li Xiaofei's eyes were glazed, and his nose was almost drunk when he smelled the aroma for a while. Li Xiaofei was squeezed around in the crowd and quickly separated from the others.

With a bang, a woman bumped into Li Xiaofei, and the rouge in the woman's hand spilled on the ground. Li Xiaofei hurriedly supported the woman, but the woman broke away from him: "Don't touch me, rouge doesn't want you to compensate, you just stay away from me", the woman spoke, and several people flashed out next to Li Xiaofei, and the woman waved her hand: "Don't embarrass him, it's just a young boy, do we Xiao Mansion want to be as knowledgeable as laymen?" You go and pick out a few clothes for me, my body is already dirty, only throw it away", Li Xiaofei looked at the woman, the woman's eyes were big, she was holding her hair like a cloud, her face was slightly pale, her hands were slender and her fingers were slightly longer, but her body was slightly plump. Li Xiaofei was looking at it in a daze, and the woman said coldly: "Look at me like this, don't you want your eyes?" Li Xiaofei hurriedly covered his eyes and lowered his head: "Miss, it's me who is rude and offended Miss, I, I've never seen such a beautiful person as Miss, you are a fairy", the woman sneered and got into the carriage next to her and left with the servant. Only Li Xiaofei was left stunned in place.

The guy who sold silk patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder: "Little brother, you are so bold, this is the young lady of the Xiao family's Chuzhou Taishou Xiaoshan family, the largest family in Jinling, you offended him today and didn't get beaten and punished, and the sun really came out of the west." Don't be stunned, don't be stunned, we are rich and untouchable, don't be a toad and want to eat swan meat in this life."

Li Xiaofei came back to his senses at this time, and when he heard that Chuzhou Taishou was Xiaoshan, he faintly felt that many things were not right, didn't Wang Xian say that Chuzhou was the territory of the rebels? But Taishou is still a member of the Xiao family, and judging from the situation from the street, Xiao Shan is definitely a powerful Taishou, and he will not be a puppet of the rebels. Thinking of this, Li Xiaofei asked a few more people, and only after this question did he know that this kind of family never put their eggs in one basket, and no matter which way the rebel rebels and rebels had to look at the face of these family families, they also had to win their support. And Xiao Shan was just the person who contacted Su Shouzhong on behalf of the Xiao family, and only superficially admitted that Su Shouzhong was the king of Jin, and the two sides had no actual affiliation.

Li Xiaofei didn't dare to stay longer, and walked straight to the city gate. When he was about to reach the city gate, someone chased after him, and only a woman shouted: "Close the city gate, don't let this boy go!" ”
