"Big brother, if it's anything else, the younger brother will agree. Only the matter of borrowing soldiers, the younger brother really couldn't agree. ”

"Oh? Is my brother worried that Luoyang is empty and there are no soldiers to garrison? Huaxing guessed.

"Definitely! Even if there are no soldiers in Luoyang, no one will come to harass him in the short term, and the younger brother is not worried about this. The reason why the younger brother rejected the eldest brother was mainly because he didn't want to ...... Caught in the Yuan Cao dispute! With a sigh, I heard Liu Xie continue:

"Alas! To tell the truth, although the younger brother is the Son of Heaven, he has actually been living in the cracks and does not dare to offend any local forces. Especially like Er Yuan, who is a strong soldier and a strong horse, the younger brother doesn't even dare to say a hard word on weekdays. The eldest brother may also know that Yuan Shao is not used to seeing me, and he is trying to establish others; Yuan Shu is also ambitious, and he has been on my throne for a long time...... If I lend troops to you now, they will definitely settle accounts with me in the future, and then how will the younger brother deal with it? Therefore, I hope that the eldest brother will not embarrass the younger brother. ”

"Alas! Of course the eldest brother understands the difficulties of the eldest brother! ”

After listening to Liu Xie's concerns, Huaxing was the first to speak out and promise:

"But you don't have to worry too much about that! As long as my brother is willing to lend me troops, the safety of the royal family in the future will be guarded by me and General Cao, and I will never let my brother be in danger! ”

Although Huaxing said that he was full of confidence, Liu Xie on the other side was not convinced, and quickly shook his head and replied:

"The eldest brother, although the younger brother is young, the situation in this battle is ...... I can still see it. With the general's little strength, I'm afraid that even I can't protect myself, so how can I protect me? Therefore, for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I can't agree to this matter, and I ask my eldest brother to take back all these four picture books! ”

Although Liu Xie loved this book, in order to save his life and the throne, he had to reluctantly cut his love and refused Huaxing's request.

Seeing that Liu Xie was determined, Hua Xing could only sigh secretly and took the picture book on the table back into his arms.

But this did not mean that he would give up on this matter, after a short period of silence, Huaxing changed his strategy and talked to Liu Xie about another matter:

"Okay, then I won't embarrass my brother, this matter will be revealed. By the way, last time my brother sent a messenger to the village, not only rewarded the iron vein, but also gave me a marriage, I haven't had time to thank you for this, and today I also ask my brother to accept my worship. ”

Although Liu Xie didn't understand why the other party suddenly mentioned this matter, seeing Hua Xing clasping his fists and worshipping, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped the other party up:

"Big brother is polite! This little thing is not enough to worry about, hehe, as long as the eldest brother and sister-in-law are happy! ”

"Hehe, happy, happy! Your two sisters-in-law and I are very happy! ”

After nodding with a smile, he heard Huaxing's voice suddenly change and say:

"Huh? By the way, I remember that Lord Yang also mentioned it to me at the time, saying that it was Concubine Xi's mother...... Kidnapped? ”

Hearing the word "Concubine Xi", Liu Xie's eyes immediately crossed a touch of deep worry, and he nodded and sighed:

"Alas! That's right, she was captured by thieves on the way back to Luoyang. By the way, did the eldest brother find out any information? ”

"Hmm. After learning about this, in order to help the elder brother find his concubine, the eldest brother sent thousands of subordinates to investigate everywhere. As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and in the end, I really found some clues! "Huaxing is a serious lie.

As soon as he heard that there was a clue, Liu Xie's heart jumped on the spot, and he immediately grabbed Huaxing's arm and asked urgently:

"What's the clue? Please let me know quickly! This grace and virtue, the little brother is unforgettable! ”

"Hey! It's all a family, and my brother doesn't need to be so polite. You take a look at this thing first, do you recognize it......" As he spoke, Hua Xing took out an emerald green hairpin from his arms and handed it to Liu Xie.

After carefully looking at the pearl hairpin handed by Huaxing, Liu Xie was surprised and delighted, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice:

"Recognize! Recognize! This is exactly the pearl hairpin that the younger brother gave to Concubine Xi! Where did you find your brother? ”

Where did you find it?

Do you still need to ask?

Of course, Huaxing plucked it from Jessica's hair.

But at this moment, in order to induce the other party to send troops, Hua Xing would not tell the truth, and soon heard him tell Liu Xie the story again:

"It's a long story! Fifty miles west of the village, there is a mountain range called Sankun Mountain. There are many thieves hiding in this area, and my subordinates are the pearl hairpins found in this mountain range. ”

"What? Sankun Mountain? ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xie immediately frowned:

"But, I've sent people here a long time ago, and they haven't found anything!"

"Sankun Mountain is composed of three large mountains, covering a wide area and complex terrain. When I went to suppress bandits, I once asked people to draw a map, and found that there were more than 100 large and small caves together. If you are not familiar with the terrain, it is really difficult to clean up. Therefore, it is normal that the elder brother's soldiers were not found. ”

Hearing Hua Xing say this, Liu Xiecai nodded understandingly:

"Oh! So this hairpin was found in a cave? So, isn't Concubine Xi in there? ”

"Alas! Unfortunately, when they arrived, there was no one in the cave. I found that this hairpin fell to the ground, and it was not an ordinary thing, so I brought it back and gave it to me. Huaxing said with regret in his eyes.

"No one?" Hearing this, Liu Xie immediately said with concern: "Where did that person go?" ”

"I remember that Concubine Xi's mother seemed to have worn this hairpin, so she ordered people to continue to explore in the mountains. Four or five days later, I finally got a message from a hunter. ”

"What's the news?"

"According to him, there was a group of thieves hiding in the cave before, but they had left the mountains not long ago."

"Huh? So where did they go? ”

"The whereabouts of the thieves, Orion does not know, only knows the general direction. So, I sent someone to search all the way. After more than a month of searching, I finally found the location of these thieves! ”

As soon as he heard that he had really found it, Liu Xie's heart beat faster in an instant, blood poured into his brain, and he couldn't wait to say:

"What is it? Please let the eldest brother tell me quickly, and I will send troops to rescue me! Ay? By the way, how is Concubine Xi now? She didn't ...... Someone has poisoned you, right? ”

"According to the spies' report, although the five women who accompanied them suffered a little, none of them were worried about their lives."

Knowing that Concubine Xi was still alive, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as he thought of the hardships that Concubine Ai had endured during this time, Liu Xie immediately became angry, slapped the table fiercely, and said to Huaxing:

"Big brother, where are they at the moment? Little brother, lead the troops now! See if I don't kill all these thieves! ”

In the face of Liu Xie's inquiry, Huaxing did not reply directly this time, but shook his head and said to Liu Xie:

"Brother, their hiding place is very hidden, saying that the village is not a village, saying that the cave is not like a hole, it is by no means easy to explain with a few words."

"Then how about Brother Lao help us draw a map?"

"Maps are useless! No matter how detailed the drawing is, your soldiers will not be able to find it. Huaxing still shook his head and said.

Seeing that his proposals were all rejected, Liu Xie furrowed his brows again: "Then how can I find it?" ”

"It's not difficult!".

Soon, I listened to Huaxing Mao's self-recommendation:

"As long as I personally lead the troops, we can arrive quickly!"
