Chapter 18 Childe Liu Xian
The meeting spirit is the king's drink, and the horse is a high-rise weeping willow side. -------Tang Dynasty. Wang Wei "Youth Walk"
Liu Xian led the troops to the Huangfu to arrest Chen Long, and naturally he pounced. Liu Xian asked people to post the sea fishing documents everywhere, respond to the story, and inquire about his father's house, his father had already fallen asleep with Meiji in his arms, so it was inconvenient to disturb. Liu Xian just got off the donkey, waved his hand, and the troops were disbanded, and he waited for tomorrow to be too guarded, and then made a decision. The soldiers were eager to go home and sleep with their daughter-in-law in their arms, and when they heard the words, they suddenly walked away.
Liu Xian returned to the house with a few personal soldiers, and got off the horse only to see Liu Dong standing under the eaves waiting, signaling with his eyes. Liu Xian nodded slightly, and asked his subordinates to take his beloved horse away and walk into the inner mansion. Liu Xian's wife came up with a maid and helped her take off her coat and take off her leather armor. Liu Xian's wife is the daughter of Liu Min, a general with troops, and it is a political marriage, and Liu Du is a means to entrap Liu Min. But Liu Xian's wife has nothing to lose, but she is still virtuous and obedient to Liu Xian's words, so Liu Xian and his wife live a warm life.
Liu Xian finished freshening up and said to his wife: "I want to deal with some official business in the study, and no one is allowed to disturb me." Liu nodded yes and went straight to the door of the bedroom before going back. Liu Xian entered the front yard, went straight to the study, and when he arrived outside the door of the study, he ordered the two generals to guard the door and entered the study by himself. Gently pulled out a few sets of bamboo slips on the bookshelf, revealing a disc behind it, Liu Xian gently rotated the disc, and the bookshelf silently separated the two sides, revealing a secret room.
Liu Dong was waiting anxiously in the secret room, and when he saw Liu Xian coming, he breathed a sigh of relief. Pointing to the wall, he stepped back. It turned out that the secret room was divided into two parts, inside and outside, and the door of the outer secret room could only be opened when the door of the outer secret room was closed, which was very secret, and it was just used as Chen Long's hiding place.
In the inner secret room, Chen Long was gnawing on a few cold steamed buns sent by Liu Dong, when suddenly the wall opened, and Liu Xian paced in. Chen Long hurriedly stood up and puffed out his cheeks and saluted. Liu Xian smiled: "Wenlong doesn't have to be polite, let's talk slowly after you finish eating, why is this kid Liu Dong so snubbing you?" I'll just give you a few cold steamed buns. I'll clean him up when I get back. Chen Long took three sips and swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth, bowed and saluted: "Thank you Liu Gongzi for saving me today, but I don't know why it has become like this?" Liu Xian recounted what happened today, and finally said: "General Liu Xian is not a mercenary villain, it is impossible to secretly collude with the Yellow Turban, this must be the Yellow Turban's trick." ”
Chen Long nodded slowly and said, "General Liu Xian must have been wronged, but I don't know how it happened to my head?" Liu Xian groaned slightly, and asked instead of answering, "Long Chen, have you noticed anything recently?" I'm afraid you're being targeted by the higher-ups of the Yellow Turbans. As he spoke, he took out a letter in his arms, which was the report letter written by Liu Xian to Liu Xian. Liu Xian said slowly: "Although I have always felt that Wenlong is a loyal and righteous person, if it weren't for General Liu Xian's letter, which said that you had been assassinated by the Yellow Turban, I would not have fully believed you, and insisted on clearing your name at the risk of being discovered." ”
After Liu Xian finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Chen Long with blazing eyes and said, "Wenlong, can you tell me your true origin?" Chen Long knew that it was Liu Xian who asked him to surrender his name, otherwise he might hand him over to Xing Daorong in minutes. At the moment, he did not hesitate to say: "I am really not a Changsha person, but a Chang'an family, from a young master to the deep mountains, practiced some martial arts and has a small success, this time with peach blossoms out of the mountain, I wanted to wait for the price and sell, to find a reliable lord." The master strictly ordered that his name should not be revealed, and the villain could not go into details. These words are half-true, although he doesn't expect Liu Xian to believe it, but at least he can't find any loopholes.
Liu Xian nodded slightly, and suddenly as if he had made up his mind, he stood up and said to Long Chen: "Wenlong, how can the so-called brocade scales be a thing in the pool, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a dragon and a phoenix among people." Not to mention your arrows at the head of the city, which I really admire. As he spoke, he pulled out a jar of wine from behind the bookshelf in the secret room, opened the lid, and the smell of wine overflowed for a while. I only heard Liu Xian say: "Wenlong, I am me, and my father is my father." My father was old and unconscious, and he listened to slander, and I was wary of that Xing Daorong. Today I am here to speak, and with me, I will keep you safe. So saying, he took a sip of the jar.
Chen Long was overjoyed, with Liu Xian's full support, his situation was no longer in danger, and it was possible to turn the tables quickly. At that moment, he took the wine jar and took a sip and said: "Wenlong has thanked Gongzi here, I didn't expect Gongzi to value me so much, if I don't give up, Chen Long is willing to serve the dogs and horses!" ”
Liu Xian was stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "My virtue is not worthy of being your lord." As he spoke, he took Chen Long's hand and said, "Wenlong, since you and I can get to know each other, how about I want to bow to you?" Since then, the brothers have been in the world together and supported each other. ”
Chen Long was overjoyed, and at the moment he and Liu Xian took the soil as incense, and the two knelt on the ground to pray, saying that they could not be born on the same day and month of the same year, but only wished to die on the same day and month of the same year, and become brothers of the opposite sex. Talking about the year, Chen Long is only two months older, he is the eldest brother, the two of them drink the wine in the altar in one gulp, they both feel happy, Chen Long thought of Huang Gai, and quickly said to Liu Xian that there is a third brother, Liu Xian laughed, and said that he had long felt that Huang Gai was good, and now he accepted this third brother. Chen Long laughed and said: "In ancient times, there were three knots in Taoyuan, and now there are three knots in the secret room, haha!" Liu Xian frowned with a big tongue and asked, "What Taoyuan Three Knots?" ”
Chen Long knew that he had leaked his mouth, so he hurriedly drank and broke through, remembered the investigation of the Yellow Turban, and said to Liu Xian: "Second brother, I suspect that there are people in the Xiaoxiang Gang who collude with the Yellow Turban, so they know the situation in the city well, and they are also the high-level leaders of the Xiaoxiang Gang. I have asked the third brother to pay attention to the recent movements of the Xiaoxiang Gang. You can also ask someone to investigate tomorrow who has been in frequent contact with the Xiaoxiang Gang recently. Liu Xian nodded in agreement, and said to Chen Long: "These days, I want to be wronged Big Brother to live here, three meals a day, I will ask Liu Dong to send it to you." The outside is guarded all day, all of them are their own people, and it is very safe. Chen Long nodded in agreement, and the two of them drank the wine in one sip, and Chen Long asked about the personnel conflicts in the county system, especially Xing Daorong's situation.
Speaking of several senior members in the county system, Liu Xian sighed slightly and said: "It turns out that at the beginning of my father's creation, Liu Yong, Liu Min, and Liu Xian all followed my father to start a business. Later, his father exterminated the bandits and was in danger, thanks to Xing Daorong's help, he saved his father, and since then he has become his father's right-hand man, and he is also loyal. This Xing Daorong and Liu Min are very good, I recently found out that it seems that these two people are suspected of forming a party for personal gain, but there is no evidence. ”
After taking a sip of wine, Liu Xian continued: "That Xing Daorong relied on his father's trust to squeeze out Liu Xian and Liu Yong, and it became more and more serious." Chen Long suddenly said: "Today's incident, I don't know if it has anything to do with him?" ”
Liu Xian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, put down the wine jar, and said, "That's not enough!" He said in deep thought. Chen Long didn't bother him, Liu Xian was stunned for a while, and suddenly arched his hand and said: "Big brother, it's not too early, I'll go back first, it's suspicious." So he hurried away. Chen Long was sullenly lying on the small bed in the secret room, thinking that the peach blossom didn't know if it was better, the first group breath gong naturally ran smoothly, but it seemed that he had encountered a bottleneck, his strength always stopped at 1000 kilograms of fist power, jumped 40 meters high, and he didn't know when he would be able to find a new internal strength and continue to improve his strength.
Liu Xian returned to the bedroom, and Liu got up early to wait, busy around Liu Xian. Liu Xian was silent, if it weren't for his wife being Liu Min's daughter, he might like her even more. But Xing Daorong seems to have ambitions for the county, and Liu Min is mixed with Xing Daorong all day long, and he has to be careful about his words and deeds in front of the Liu family. Seeing that Liu Xian was silent, Liu didn't say much, and the two fell asleep silently. What Liu Xian couldn't see was that the face of his wife, who was sleeping behind his back, was already full of tears.
At the Anling Inn, in the room of Zhang Ning, the Holy Maiden of the Yellow Turban, Li Le was reporting in detail the latest situation in the city. Speaking of Liu Xian's capture and Chen Long's disappearance, Zhang Ning frowned slightly, raised his hand and lightly hammered the table, and said slightly angrily: "Chen Long is missing?" How could the Second Dharma Protector do this? Li Le hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Holy Maiden, it is not the second protector who is responsible for arresting Long Chen, it is the son Liu Xian. I heard that he brought soldiers and horses to Huang'an's Mansion overnight, but for some reason Chen Long had disappeared. Zhang Ning calmed down and said in a low voice: "Is it Gongzi Liu Xian?" Li Le said: "Yes, the second protector thinks that Liu Xian has no reason to help Chen Long, maybe he is lucky, just not there?" Zhang Ning shook his head slightly and was silent.
Li Le continued: "Holy Maiden, that Chen Long's wife is still in the Yellow Mansion, why don't you arrest and ask?" Seeing what Li Le said rudely, Zhang Ning frowned and said, "Don't arrest it, just let Gang Leader Yang find a few brothers to keep an eye on, and if Long Chen meets her, notify us immediately." Li Le nodded and went down. Zhang Ning took off the veil, spread his hair in a bun, and suddenly his long black and bright hair slid down his waist like a waterfall, swaying slightly, and there were endless styles in the guest room for a while. Zhang Ning slowly bit her lips and squeezed out a few words in her mouth: "Childe Liu Xian?" ”
Li Le walked out of the inn, thinking about being deliberately rude in front of the saint just now, what kind of big name is this little girl still playing here, and her life is in danger at this time, and she has to be at the mercy of this little girl. Hurriedly walking into the long street, he didn't notice a man in coarse cloth behind him, and followed him closely.
This man is Huang Gai's subordinate brother, Huang Gai promised Chen Long to investigate the Xiaoxiang Gang that day, and immediately assigned it to several brothers in his lineage. These brothers contacted a brother next to the gang leader, and used the money to get a message, that is, Li Le, the owner of the Anling Inn, who had approached the Yang gang leader several times in the past few days, and the two of them were mysterious, and they didn't know what the Yang gang leader and an inn owner had to talk about. There must be a demon when things are abnormal, so there is a person who has been following this Li Le.
Li Le walked in twists and turns, as if he didn't notice anyone paying attention to him, and plunged into the Xiaoxiang Gang headquarters compound located on the edge of Xiaoshui in the west of the city. This is the Nth time Li Le has come here in the past two days, and he is already familiar with the road.
Walking into the compound, the guards went to the helper to report, and Li Le went to the living room to wait. Xu Yu walked in a person, this person was about eight feet tall, wearing a gray gown, a thin face, black eyebrows, three locks of long hair, and a thick black face, obviously a martial artist, but he pretended to have an elegant temperament, and after holding back left and right, he asked, "What does the holy woman command?" ”
The person who came was Yang Huai, the leader of the Xiaoxiang gang. He was not a person in the Yellow Turban, but now that the Yellow Turban's power has increased greatly, if he wants to continue to do a good job in Xiaoxiang Ershui and protect this golden waterway, he must bow to the Yellow Turban Army, in order to help the public live, but also for the benefit of himself and the above, it is inevitable to secretly help the Yellow Turban do something, who knows which day, the Yellow Turban Army will not become the master of Lingling?
Li Le said that he asked him to send someone to keep an eye on the peach blossoms, and Yang Huai heard that it was a trivial matter, so he agreed to come down. Li Le walked out of the Xiaoxiang Gang compound, and was not in a hurry to go back to the inn to see the face of the saint, it was rare to have a little time, how could he be worthy of himself if he didn't do some private things. The red-headed Liu Yinger of Xiaoxiang Yuan is absolutely beautiful, and the little song she sings is amazing, why don't you go and enjoy it, and go straight to the brothel at the moment.
Xiaoxiangyuan is the largest brothel in Quanling County, this ancient prostitute is particular about color and art, and it is possible to sleep with the object of love, and some of them do not sell their bodies, unlike the current prostitutes who directly make money * easy, there is no interest at all, this is also the reason why ancient men, even if they are ministers, like to visit brothels. To put it bluntly, a brothel is a place where men can drink, flirt, talk, pretend, make friends, and run errands, similar to the current big restaurants, nightclubs, and private clubs.
Li Le came to Xiaoxiang Garden, rewarded * a piece of silver, that Liu Ying'er carried a pipa and sang a song, was listening to Li Le's numbness, suddenly his heart was cold, a dagger against the back of the heart, deliberately suppressed voice behind him: "Don't look back, follow me." ”
Li Le was carried out of the brothel with a dagger, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he was put on a black hood, and then he was slapped the back of the head, and he didn't know anything. When I woke up, I found myself tied to a chair with a foul-smelling footwrap in my mouth.
Seeing that his little brother saw that he was awake, he went out and shouted, a man in civilian clothes with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Shi Shiran walked in, not Huang Gai or who? In Huang Gai's hand, he played with a giant mace with a lot of wooden nails, threw it in front of Li Le with a bang, grabbed Li Le's neck, and said with a straight eyebrow: "Do you eat wooden nail porridge, or tell me now, who are you?" ”
