However, it was said that Xiahou Jin had detained Liu Yu and his party, and ordered the official to report to Yu Yao, who was recuperating in bed, which could be regarded as giving him an explanation.

This mess is not my responsibility in the first place, and in the current urgency of the situation, where can I be distracted from it? Just when he was quite satisfied with his handling and complacent, he was suddenly overwhelmed by the news from the capital in the north.

It was an early morning five days later, when Xiahou Jin was inspecting the city's defenses as usual, when he suddenly received news from the Jingshi.

Back in the mansion, Xiahou Jin ordered him to look at the tea left and right before he carefully looked at the person who came - seeing that although he was dusty, he was dressed luxuriously and his face was delicate and smooth, and he had roughly guessed that he was a eunuch.

I couldn't help asking, "This adult has come from afar, and I don't know what he wants to tell me next?" ”

The eunuch was also refreshed, without the slightest intention to hide, and said with a smile, "My lord recently took in a young son?" ”

"Childe?" Xiahou Jin was shocked, and said to himself, "That person is really not good...... and then replied calmly, "There is such a son, with a few skilled entourage, beat the Honzhou Taishou Yu Yao to the bedridden......"

Xiahou Jin was just about to tell him what had happened, but the eunuch was blowing tea foam with a teacup, and when he heard Xiahou Jin admit that there was indeed such a thing, he interrupted with a somewhat impatient expression before he finished speaking, "In this case, what crime should be committed according to the Da Xu Decree?" ”

This really stopped Xiahou Jin, and he couldn't guess what this eunuch wanted. I had to pretend to be deaf and said with a wry smile, "I am a martial artist in the next place, I can't read Ding and don't know how to go around the bend, if you have anything to say, please make it clear to the next ......."

The eunuch understood that Xiahou Jin was deliberately pretending to be stupid, but he was not in a hurry to reply to him.

first took a sip of tea, then raised his neck and licked his lips to taste the fragrance, and only after a while did he put down the tea bowl, tapped the table with his fingers, and said with a sneer, "What are you nervous about, Lord Xiahou?" We are all servants of the imperial court, but we are all doing things according to orders......"

When he heard the word "Fengzhi", Xiahou was shocked, and the scene turned pale with fright.

He didn't understand, and he couldn't figure out how Liu Yu, a childish boy, could provoke the imperial court, and even more alarmed His Majesty to come and send someone to deliver the decree......

Seeing Xiahou Jin's embarrassed look, the eunuch not only covered his mouth and snickered, but also poked out his orchid finger with a sharp throat and mocked, "Lord Xiahou is also a general, how can he be so cowardly as a mouse, doesn't this make the world laugh?" ”

Realizing that he was out of shape, Xiahou Jin hurriedly suppressed his emotions, adjusted his sitting posture and took a deep breath, and said slowly, "According to my Da Xu law, Ling Chi should be punished ......."

"Well," the eunuch nodded with satisfaction, "in that case, when will the crime be dealt with?" ”

"This ......"

Xiahou Jin still didn't understand who Liu Yu was, how could a gentleman offend His Majesty, and he had to bother His Majesty to personally send an edict to urge. He immediately asked, "That person is just a handful of children, Your Majesty is tired every day, so why should he personally ask about trivial matters?" ”

"A trifle?"

The eunuch sneered, slammed the table, and the lid of the cup fell to the ground with a crisp "snap" sound, and then took advantage of the situation to shout and curse in a sharp voice, "Do you know who that person is!" How dare you say it's a trifle! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Jin chuckled in his heart, swallowed his spit and said secretly, "Don't be really a spy!" ”

Although he was already in turmoil, he pretended to be calm on his face, "My lord, please make it clear to the official ......"

The eunuch crossed his hands on his hips and glared angrily, "This person is bold and reckless, he has been pretending to be the royal bloodline, and he is swaggering and deceiving everywhere!" His Majesty has been eyeing him for a long time, and he didn't expect to be able to capture this on the border of your Guazhou! You say that such criminals should be beheaded! ”

"This is an unforgivable sin of nature, and Ling Chi can't offset his sin!"

Xia Houjin couldn't stop nodding yes, but he muttered confusedly in his heart, "He didn't say that he was of royal blood...... I have never heard such rumors in Guazhou for a long time, why did I come out like this today? ”

"Lord Xiahou still doesn't believe it?" The eunuch asked dissatisfiedly.

"No, it's not ......" Xiahou Jin hurriedly smiled and said, "Although Xia Guan is a martial artist, he also knows that human life is at stake. What's more, I'm not a Guazhou Taishou, so it's better to wait until Lord Yu Yao recovers and leave it to him to decide! ”

"The general is really good at protecting himself......" The eunuch squinted, and his face was a look of mockery.

Xiahou Jin's face suddenly turned pale, and asked, "Dare to ask your lordship, since you said that you are here to deliver the decree, why haven't you announced the decree for a long time?" ”

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on the eunuch's face, and he immediately adjusted his emotions and cleared his throat, calmly explaining, "This matter is very important, and it is not appropriate to do it!" Therefore, there is only oral communication! ”

"That's ......" Xiahou Jin really felt that this matter was not simple, and asked with a solemn face, "I don't know what your official position is?" ”

This is Xiahou Jin doubting his identity, the eunuch calmly took out a jade pendant from his arms, sent the order to hand it over, and smiled at him, "I am Yang Hao, the 'second grade Shangshou' in the palace!" ”

After carefully examining the jade pendant to confirm that it was correct, Xiahou Jin hurriedly got up and arched his hand, "It turned out to be Gonggong Yang, and I hope to forgive the clumsy eyes of the official who couldn't recognize ......."

"......Excuse me," Yang Hao snorted coldly, "Now that you have confirmed your identity as an official, you can now rest assured and boldly tell me the truth-when to ask for the crime and be beheaded!" ”

Xiahou Jin bowed, first handed the jade order back to Yang Hao, and then said with a smile, "Gonggong Yang...... The lower official is still the same sentence, how can he dare to overstep his responsibilities as a general? Such a major matter should be handed over to the decision of Lord Haruka! ”

"You ......" Yang Hao pointed at Xiahou's face, which was red and white, and his sharp voice trembled slightly, "You dog slave who doesn't know what to do!" I don't know how to cherish the opportunity to give you a glorious lintel! ”

Seeing that Yang Hao was so angry, Xiahou Jin was even more convinced that this matter was not simple, and immediately bowed down with a smile and replied, "Although Xia Guan is a minion, he also knows the truth of following orders!" But since there is no holy decree, then please forgive the officials for being difficult to obey! ”

"Dog Stuff ......"

Yang Hao was about to stretch out his orchid finger and scold, but was interrupted by Xiahou, who was already impatient, with an order to "send off the guest". I had to chop my feet angrily and scolded, "Dog minion, don't regret it!" ”

After that, he was forced by the guards on the left and right to walk away with a cold face.

Sending away the difficult and arrogant Yang Gonggong, Xiahou Jin hurriedly went to the prison alone to visit the son-in-law who was cut by them with a thousand knives.

"Who is this man?"

With such confusion, Xiahou broke through the jailer in the cell and went to the prison where Liu Yu and his party were held alone. But seeing that their group of ten people was very comfortable, Liu Yu was even more leisurely lying on the grass, looking at the roof in a daze, without the slightest sense of crisis that a catastrophe was coming.

"You're so daring!" Xia Houjin stood outside the cell with his hands and arms folded, and sneered inward by the dim candlelight.

Seeing Xiahou Jin standing alone outside the cell, Liu Yu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and got up with a smile and greeted, "General Xiahou still has time to come to visit us, it's really an honor!" ”

"Alright, don't be poor!" Xiahou Jin didn't bother to greet him, and asked straight to the point, "Who are you?" ”

"In the feather below, ah......"

As soon as the words fell, Xiahou Jin interrupted impatiently, "Do you know that the imperial court has sent someone to urge this general to kill you immediately!" You're already in a catastrophe and you're still unwilling to tell General Ben the truth? ”

"Oh?" Liu Yu looked calm, and still asked with a smile, "Dare to ask the general, how could a civilian, who is only a civilian, alarm the court to come and urge him to ask for guilt?" ”

"Of course, you have to ask yourself!" Xiahou Jin's face was as pale as iron, and he said coldly, "Who are you?" How did it alarm the imperial court? ”

"Do you know who is in a hurry to kill me?"

"You're really calm...... Xiahou Jin was a little overwhelmed by Liu Yu's calmness and calmness from nowhere, so he sneered, "Don't you want to know how General Ben replied?" ”

Liu Yu smiled disapprerovingly, "If the adults really want to kill me, why do you have to send the jailers to ask about me?" ”

"I didn't expect you to be young, but you are really brave and knowledgeable...... Xiahou Jin couldn't help but look at Liu Yu differently, a person who knew that death was on the verge could still be so wise and calm, so he could see that there was really a bit of a royal shadow!

Seeing that Xiahou Jin didn't want to kill him, but came with doubts, Liu Yu immediately asked, "Can the general tell me first, who wants to kill me?" ”

Xiahou Jin stared at Liu Yu in the prison for a long time, and then replied faintly, "Your Majesty the Emperor ...... today."

Hearing this, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yu's mouth, and his face was as calm as water, "Is there a holy decree?" ”

Xiahou Jin kept staring at him, and seeing that he was still not the slightest flustered, he couldn't help but become more curious about his identity, and immediately shook his head with a blue face.

Hearing this, Liu Yu raised his head more calmly and laughed in a low voice, "What does the general want to ask—who am I?" As he spoke, a cold light appeared in his eyes.

Xiahou Jin hesitated for a long time, then suddenly noticed something, looked around the dungeon vigilantly, approached the front and back, and immediately changed his words, "I...... Your Excellency has done everything possible to infiltrate the dungeon, what do you want! ”

Seeing that he seemed to realize something, Liu Yu also stepped forward and whispered in Xiahou Jin's ear through the fence of the cell, "Please help me find someone......

"Who?"

"Ouyang Han!"

Hearing this name, Xiahou Jin was so frightened that he almost took three steps back, his eyes widened suddenly, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you!" ”
