Liu Xuan was silent for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I want to see you!" Can't be missing! ”

He had to figure out why the Zhushan Green Forest Army, led by Ma Wu, was still staying in Zhushan. It doesn't matter if they want to die, but they can't affect the hundreds of people in the righteous army!

"Fortunately, Zhang Ting handed over the work of patrolling the city to our rebels, so it is much more convenient for us to go to see Ma Wu at night."

Thinking about it, it's no wonder that the black-faced man's martial arts are so strong, even Gai Yan is not his opponent, and the reason why Ah Xiu later broke his clothes should have been deliberately done by him.

Liu Xuan secretly gave a thumbs up, the martial plague god Ma Wu, it really deserves its name!

That night, when the day was near, the two brothers Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu took Feng Yi, Gai Yan, Long Yuan, Li Tong, Li Yi, Zhu Yun, and Zhang Ping to the agreed guest inn.

The guest inn is not difficult to find, located in the northeast corner of the county, this is the largest inn here, the door is luxurious and atmospheric, very eye-catching.

When they arrived at the inn, everyone stopped and looked around, and then Liu Xuan said to Long Yuan, Zhu Yun, and Zhang Ping: "You stay outside and guard, if there is a slight disturbance, come and report immediately!" ”

Seeing that the three of them nodded, Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu and others walked to the door of the inn, and Liu Xuan gently pushed down the door. With a creak, the door slowly opened.

Liu Xuan squinted his eyes, held the hilt of the saber in one hand, and then walked in, followed by Liu Xiu, Gai Yan and others.

There was no light in the inn, it was pitch black, and just when everyone was looking around, Liu Xiu suddenly took a step forward, looked at the innermost corner of the inn, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!" ”

Liu Xuan and the others followed Liu Xiu's line of sight, black and rumbling, and couldn't see anything. However, Liu Xiu stared at the dark corner, and his eyes didn't blink.

Just when everyone was quite puzzled, they only heard the rustling of footsteps from the corner, and a black shadow slowly emerged in the darkness.

Seeing this, everyone also became nervous, and the swords under their ribs were half drawn.

"Haha--" The black shadow suddenly burst out laughing, and said in a brisk tone, "Uncle Wen has good eyesight!" ”

As he spoke, the dark shadow came out of the dark corner completely, and by the moonlight shining through the door, people fixed their eyes on the leader of the mountain bandits they had encountered in the evening.

The black shadow walked up to the crowd, stood still, and deliberately spread his empty hands so that they could all see clearly that he had no weapon in his hand.

He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we are not enemies!" As he spoke, he raised his head again and said, "The guests have arrived, everyone come out!" ”

As he spoke, a group of three people descended from the steps leading to the second floor. Among the three people, one of them, Liu Xiu and others, knew it, it was Xia Ruoyan, and the other two, except for Feng Yi, they had never seen each other.

The one who walked in front was burly, with good facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, a majestic appearance, and a majestic appearance. The one in the back is relatively short in stature, born with a roe deer head rat eyes, and his appearance is not good.

Seeing the majestic man clearly, Feng Yi's eyes widened unconsciously, his face showed surprise, and blurted out: "Second brother? ”

The majestic man was called out by name, and he was obviously stunned, showing a look of astonishment, he looked at Feng Yi, and said in surprise and joy: "Brother Gongsun! ”

Neither of them expected that they would meet old acquaintances in Zhushan County.

Seeing Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu and the others looking at him in puzzlement, Feng Yi hurriedly explained: "Brother Bosheng, this is my old acquaintance, Cho period!" ”

Hearing the name Choshi Situation, Liu Xiu didn't react, but Liu Xiu subconsciously said, "Are you Choshi?" ”

Choshi looked at Liu Xiu, in his impression, he didn't know this young man, could he still know himself?

Seeing his question, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "The second brother ran for his father's funeral, kept filial piety for three years, and the name of filial piety is heard in the world!" ”

Feng Yi and Choshi are both from Yingchuan County, and it is not surprising that the two of them know each other, and the reason why Liu Xiu has heard of Choshi is all due to his side business when he was farming in his hometown, Liu inquired!

Liu Xiu often traveled back and forth to the bazaar, came into contact with the three religions and nine streams, and in addition to selling grain, he was to inquire about the world.

Cho period is indeed very famous in Yingchuan County, but out of Yingchuan, not many people know him, at least Liu Xuan, Li Tong, and Li Yi have never heard of him, but Liu Xiu knows that there is such a person as him.

Not only did he know the person who was in the Choshi period, but he also knew that he had been filial to his father for three years. When he opened his mouth, he immediately won the great favor of Choshi.

The latter hurriedly gave up his hand, and Zhengse said: "In the name of filial piety, I dare not be ashamed!" ”

Feng Yi reacted from the shock, and he asked in surprise, "Why is Brother Ji in Zhushan?" Why did you still get together with ...... and the Green Forest Army? In the second half of the sentence, he was embarrassed to ask.

In his opinion, Choshi and the Green Forest Army not only should not be together, but they are also mortal enemies. Choshi is not from an ordinary people's family, his father Cho Meng is the Taishou of Guiyang County, and Choshi is from the official family of Genzheng Miaohong.

Choshi looked at Feng Yi and asked, "Brother Gongsun, do you know why Jia Yan died?" ”

Seeing that Choshi's eyes were shining when he was questioned, Feng Yi swallowed back the word death, and slowly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Choshi said: "Jia Yan was killed by Wang Mang! ”

"Huh?" Feng Yi really didn't know that there was such a thing.

Choshi said in a condensed voice: "Jingzhou was affected by the disaster, the people were struggling to make a living, the imperial court disaster relief was unfavorable, officials at all levels were full of private pockets, and the family was strict with the court, impeaching Jingzhou Mu Hulun for embezzling disaster relief grain, Wang Mang not only did not punish the corrupt officials, but listened to the slander, reprimanded the family strict, and framed the loyal and good. Jia Yan did not die of illness, but was forced to death by Wang Mang and Hu Lun and other dog officials! ”

Feng Yi was silent, this kind of thing is not uncommon in today's officialdom. Cho Meng is a good official, but unfortunately, such a good official has no room to survive in the Xinmang Imperial Court.

When everyone is following the crowd and seeking their own selfish interests, suddenly a clear stream emerges, and it is no wonder that it is not trampled to death by everyone!

Ma Wu, the black-faced man, saw that Liu Xiu and Feng Yi still knew Choshi, and laughed: "Since everyone is an old acquaintance, don't stand here, let's go inside to catch up!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the crowd and led the way to the inside of the tavern.

Feng Yi and Cho Qi walked together, and the two had not seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to talk about.

Xia Ruoyan walked up to Liu Xiu and said with a smile: "Uncle Wen! ”

Liu Xiu nodded to her and asked, "Is Miss Xia's road going well?" ”

Xia Ruoyan said: "It's going well, I really don't know how to thank Uncle Wen for his help this time!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "Miss Xia doesn't have to be polite, speaking of which, we are also helping ourselves!" ”

"No matter what, Ruoyan still has to thank Uncle Wen for saving his life!" As she spoke, she saluted Liu Xiufu.

Liu Xiu held her arm and said, "Miss Xia is polite!" ”

Choshi, who was walking in front, looked back at Liu Xiu and asked in a low voice, "Brother Gongsun, is this Liu Xiu?" ”

Feng Yi nodded with a smile, and also asked in a low voice, "What does Brother Si think?" ”

"Not bad!" Choshi replied with two words.

Choshi was born majestic and serious, and it was not easy for him to evaluate him as good.

After Ma Wu saw Liu Xiu, he was full of praise for his martial arts, and after Xia Ruoyan fled back from the county town, he was full of praise for Liu Xiu's character, and it seemed that everyone who had contact with Liu Xiu praised him. Choshi is really curious, what kind of person Liu Xiu is.

When Liu Xiu heard his name just now, he was able to tell the story of his father's filial piety for three years, this person's breadth of knowledge and well-informed information are staggering. He was silent for a moment, then added, "Very good! ”

Feng Yiyan smiled when he heard this, his opinion of Liu Xiu was the same as Choshi's.

Don't look at Liu Xiu on weekdays, it seems that he just lives under the blessing of his eldest brother, but at every critical moment, he can always make important decisions, and it turns out that his decisions are often correct.

If a person is compared to depth, Liu Xiu may be a well or a river, while Liu Xiu is more like an unfathomable sea.

Ma Wu led everyone into the wine cellar of the tavern, and to Liu Jiu and the others' surprise, there were hundreds of wine jars hoarded in the wine cellar, and all of them had never been opened.

Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Ma Wu showed a smug look and said, "These drinks are all collected by me in the county seat!" How's that, enough of it, right? ”

Ma Wu is a person who does not love money or power, but only covets the things in the cup. He can go a day without eating, but never a day without drinking.

His words amused everyone present, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed. In the wine cellar, Ma Wu and others lit candles, and everyone sat on the ground.

After some greetings and mutual introductions, Liu Xiu knew that the thin man who was not good-looking was named Cho Jin, and he was not related to Choshi, but a servant of Cho Mansion, and the two were of the same age, not only a master-servant relationship, but also a playmate and best friend from childhood to adulthood.

Liu Xuan was the first to cut to the point, he looked at Ma Wu with a straight face, and said, "Brother Zizhang, how many people are under your command?" ”

Ma Wu thought for a while and said, "There are about a hundred people. ”

Liu Xuan asked: "Brother Zizhang thinks, can these 100 or so people withstand a thousand cavalry?" ”

Not to mention a thousand cavalry, even if it is a hundred cavalry, one cavalry rushes over, and there are only a few of these hundred or so people left.

Ma Wu understood the intention of Liu Xuan's questioning, which was to ask why he got Xia Ruoyan's report and stayed in Zhushan and did not leave. Ma Wu looked around at the people present and said, "I think that if we evacuate Zhushan this time, it will be equivalent to losing a great opportunity. ”

Liu Xuan frowned secretly and asked, "What is the perfect opportunity?" ”

"A chance to annihilate Zhang Ting!" Ma Wu said word by word.

Liu Xuan looked at Ma Wu, blinked his eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing, and said, "Annihilate Zhang Ting?" Brother Zhang, you may not have heard me clearly, Zhang Ting is a thousand cavalry! ”

He deliberately accentuated the word 'cavalry'. That's not a thousand infantry, not a thousand rabble, but the bravest and most fierce cavalry!
