Chapter 703: The City is Full of Storms
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu looked around at the crowd and looked at the familiar faces, and he was also full of emotion in his heart. Zhang Yi asked: "Your Majesty has returned to his hometown this time, is the war ahead of him over?" ”
Originally, Liu Xiu and Deng Feng were fighting, but now Liu Xiu suddenly returned to Chungling, Zhang Yi and the villagers thought that the war was over, and Liu Xiu won a big victory.
When Liu Xiu heard this, he shook his head, and said in a flat tone: "The war is not over yet, I will come back from the time!" ”
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. The war isn't over yet? Then Liu Xiu's return to Chungling, didn't he throw himself into the net?
Cai Yangling is Deng Feng's person! Chungling is a village in Caiyang County, close to Caiyang City, once Cai Yangling learns the news that Liu Xiu is in Chungling, then it will be repaid? Troops will definitely be sent to arrest Liu Xiu.
Zhang Yi is an elder who watched Liu Xiu grow up, no matter who is right and who is wrong in the fight between Liu Xiu and Deng Feng, in his heart, he must be inclined to Liu Xiu.
He said urgently: "The war is not over yet, Your Majesty should not return to his hometown, this is ...... It's too dangerous! Liu Xiu said with a bitter face: "In the past, Xiu was in Nanyang, and he wanted to return to his hometown several times, either because he fought with the enemy and couldn't get out, or because he was forced by the situation and couldn't return to his hometown, and later, when Xiu went to Hebei, it was even more difficult to have the opportunity to return to his hometown." This time, the show
It was difficult to get Nanyang, and his heart was like an arrow, so he couldn't help but sneak over. ”
His words made everyone present feel sad when they heard it, and their eyes were wet and red.
Liu Xiu smiled at everyone and said, "I'll go to the ancestral hall first." As he spoke, he led his horse to his uncle's old house.
From the outside, Liu Liang's old house is still the same, not much has changed, but it has been uninhabited for a long time, and some weeds have grown on the wall.
Walk to the door, which has a rusty lock hanging on it. Long Yuan stepped forward, grabbed the lock, and pulled it hard, and heard a crisp click, and the lock broke.
Long Yuan stepped aside, and Liu Xiu walked to the door and slowly pushed the door open.
Walking into the yard, you can see that the yard is overgrown with weeds and is very desolate. Liu Xiu touched the east of the courtyard and looked west, and scenes of the past kept coming to his mind.
This is his home, and his memories from childhood to adulthood are all here. Fu Di, Long Yuan and the others followed closely behind and also walked in. The villagers stood around the gate, stretching their necks and looking inside.
Liu Xiu walked for a while, bent down, grabbed a handful of weeds on the ground, and uprooted them.
Without him to speak, one of his actions immediately made the surrounding Yulin Wei move, and people scattered in the courtyard, pulling up the weeds on the ground and putting them aside.
It didn't take long for many villagers outside to come in, and they followed Yu Linwei to clean up the yard. Liu Xiu put down the weeds in his hand, straightened up, and walked into the ancestral hall of his uncle's house step by step.
The tablets of the ancestors of the past generations are still there. Seeing the gods of the ancestors and ancestors, Liu Xiu's movements became slower, and he knelt on his knees and kowtowed forward.
His ancestor Liu Fa, who was Emperor Jing's least favorite son, only got a projectile fief, and later the ancestor relied on his own intelligence to get Emperor Jing's favor and became the king of Changsha.
Because of the relationship between the Tui En Order, the generations have cut the knights, and when it comes to his own generation of Ah Weng, he no longer has a title, but only makes a county order.
Thinking of her father, who had already passed away, Liu Xiu burst into tears.
He cried that his father could not see the day he sat on the throne, and he also cried that he was incompetent and had been taken care of by his eldest brother, and when his eldest brother needed him the most, he was not by his eldest brother's side, which led to the eldest brother being unjustly killed.
The second brother was such an honest person, and he was implicated by the eldest brother and himself, and died at the hands of the reckless thief's lackeys.
There were three of them, and in the end, he was the only one left. Every time he thought about this, Liu Xiu was in tears, and now in the ancestral hall of the Liu family, facing the tablets of the ancestors of the Liu family, Liu Xiu couldn't cry even more.
As soon as Liu Xiu cried, the people working in the courtyard outside stopped, whether it was Yu Linwei or the people of Chungling, they all knelt on the ground.
Some people, perhaps under the influence of Liu Xiu, or maybe they were slapping horses, also cried quietly.
In the ancestral hall, Liu Xiu cried for a while before he stopped crying, he kowtowed to the gods of his ancestors three times, and then stood up, walked to the front of the stage, and wiped the tablets of the ancestors of the past dynasties one by one with his sleeves.
If the ancestors of the Liu family have spirits in the sky, they will see the descendants of the Liu family, regain the throne, and create the Han court again, presumably, they can all smile at Jiuquan!
Liu Xiu carefully brushed off the dust on the tablet of the god lord and wiped it clean, and then he walked out of the ancestral hall.
Seeing Liu Xiu, whose eyes were wet and red from crying, the villagers bowed their hands one after another and said cautiously: "Your Majesty! ”
Liu Xiu returned the salute, bowed to the surrounding villagers, and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you folks for taking care of the ancestral house of the Liu family, so that the ancestral house of the Liu family can survive, thank you very much!" ”
Nanyang has been in chaos for so long, there are homeless people everywhere, the Liu family's house has not been occupied by homeless people, and the villagers of Chungling must have played a big role.
Zhang Yi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is too polite, although Your Majesty and the Liu family have moved away from Chungling, but the villagers are still thinking about Your Majesty all the time!" ”
Liu Xiu smiled at Zhang Yi and said, "At noon today, I will hold a banquet in the house, Uncle Zhang and all the villagers, but you must come to the banquet!" ”
When the other villagers heard this, they were all smiling, only Zhang Yi was worried, he walked up to Liu Xiu, and reminded in a low voice again: "Your Majesty, Chungling is too dangerous, then Cai Yangling, but ...... But he is a man of devotion! ”
Seeing the look of concern in Zhang Yi's eyes, Liu Xiu was very grateful, and he said with a straight face: "Chungling is Xiu's home, and all the villagers are like Xiu's family, Xiu wants to go home to worship his ancestors and visit his relatives, no one can stop him!" ”
His words moved Zhang Yi and the villagers very much, but being moved did not mean that Liu Xiu's move was not dangerous.
Zhang Yi was about to speak, but Liu Xiule hugged Zhang Yi's arm and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, let's go into the house and talk!" ”
In the room, Yu Linwei had already cleaned up and wiped all the dust clean.
After entering the house, Liu Xiu explained to Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao, and asked them to bring some people to Caiyang Market, buy a few carts of wine and food, and transport them back to the village.
Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao didn't say a word, and took more than 20 Yulin guards to Caiyang City.
Liu Xiu sat in the room, chatting with Zhang Yi and several elders in the village. Liu Xiu didn't say much, mainly to listen to everyone talk about the changes in the village over the years.
In fact, the affairs of the village are nothing more than the shortcomings of some parents, and it was not appropriate to tell the Son of Heaven about these trivial things, but seeing that Liu Xiu listened with great interest, everyone opened the conversation box and talked endlessly.
Liu Xiu listened carefully and laughed from time to time.
Gradually, the sense of alienation between everyone and Liu Xiu has been reduced a lot, and I feel that after all these years, Liu Xiu seems to have not changed much compared to before, he is still so approachable, and he is a blatant good boy in the village.
Long Yuan and the others were very efficient, and it didn't take long for them to buy a lot of wine and meat from Caiyang City, as for the green vegetables, there were a lot of them in the village, so it was good to buy them in the village. The news of Liu Xiuren's people in Chungling, I don't know how, it spread all over the place, and in Caiyang City, people are all talking about it, discussing that Liu Xiu actually returned to Chungling, and I didn't hear that the war in front was over, and I didn't hear that Deng Feng was defeated, Liu
At this time, how dare you go back to Chungling?
The news soon spread to the county government as well.
When the county magistrate Zhong Wei heard this, he was taken aback. He couldn't believe his ears, and asked the official who had come to report the news, and asked, "Did you hear me right?" Liu...... Liu Xiu, is he really in Chungling? ”
"My lord, it's true, it's almost frying in the city now!" The official said with a fluttering eyebrow. Maybe even he didn't know what he was excited about, anyway, the news of Liu Xiu in Chungling was too explosive.
This is like when the two countries are at war, the king of one side actually runs to the enemy's base camp, which is incredible.
Zhong Wei swallowed his saliva, stunned for a long time, he hurriedly looked at the county lieutenant and asked, "Deng ...... Was Deng Feng defeated in the township? ”
The county lieutenant looked dazed, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it either!" If the township is defeated, the news will definitely come as soon as possible! ”
Zhong Wei spread his hands and asked, "If Deng Feng is undefeated, then ...... Then how could Liu Xiu return to Chungling? ”
Yes, how could Liu Xiu return to Chungling? How dare he go back to Chungling? At this time, the county lieutenant was also made big by this news.
He pondered for a moment and said to Zhong Wei: "My lord, the lower officials think that it is better to send someone to Chungling to inquire and confirm, whether Liu Xiu's news in Chungling is true or false!" ”
Zhong Wei nodded again and again, thinking that the county lieutenant was reasonable. He sent a few shrewd and capable officials to disguise themselves and infiltrate Chungling to see if Liu Xiu was really in the village.
After more than an hour, the official who was sent out to inquire about the news returned, and after seeing Zhong Wei, he said urgently: "My lord, Liu Xiu is indeed in Chungling Village, and now he is holding a banquet in Liu Liang's house to entertain the people of the whole village!" ”
Zhong Wei's eyes widened, he looked at several officials blankly, and asked, "Really?" ”
"The villain saw it with his own eyes!"
Zhong Wei was stunned for a while, sat down, he looked at the county lieutenant Zhang Qing, with a bitter face, grinned, and asked, "County Lieutenant Zhang, now...... Now how is this order good? ”
Zhang Qing smiled bitterly, you ask me, who am I going to ask? After holding it for a long time, he cautiously asked: "My lord thinks that in the battle of blocking the township, who will die in the end?" ”
Zhong Wei shook his head, he didn't know what the final outcome of the battle would be. However, he understood what Zhang Qing meant by asking.
If Deng Feng wins the battle of blocking the township, when Deng Feng learns that Liu Xiu is in Chungling, but Cai Yang has no action, his own county commander, and even Zhang Qing, the county lieutenant, will be killed.
But if you really want to take action, what if it is Liu Xiujun who wins in the end? What if Deng Bong is defeated? When the time comes, he and Zhang Qing will still be in danger.
It's hard! Zhong Wei is not an immortal, and Cai Yang is so far away from blocking the township, he doesn't know the specific situation of the two armies now, where can he judge who will win in the end.
He muttered to himself, "What is Liu Xiu doing when he returns to Lingling at this time? "Didn't he mean to give me a problem? Zhang Qing glanced at Zhong Wei and said meaningfully: "At the beginning, Wu Han led the army, which was menacing, but in the end he returned with a feather; Later, Cen Peng led a large army, which was menacing, but in the end he also returned; Now Liu Xiu leads the army, the third
When you enter Nanyang for the first time, can you really win against Deng Feng? ”
When Zhong Wei heard this, his heart suddenly moved, he and Zhang Qing looked at each other for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "This order, I understand what to do!" After a pause, he stood up and said categorically to Zhang Qing: "County Lieutenant Zhang, take all the county soldiers and go to Chungling with this order!" ”
