Chapter Seventy-Five: Street Conflict
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu continued: "There is such a huge difference between my identity and that of the national teacher, it stands to reason that it is easy for the national teacher to kill me, as long as a handwritten edict is issued, I can't keep ten heads." But why didn't he come to kill me in the open, but he wanted to use such a shady means to keep it secret
Assassinate me? ”
Gai Yan and Zhu You looked at Liu Xiu blankly, yes, with such a prominent status as a national teacher, why did they secretly carry out assassination? Long Zhun's heart moved, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Lord, it's because of that proverb in "Red Fu Fu"! The national teacher didn't dare to make "Chifu Fu" public, let alone make that proverb public, otherwise, Wang Mang's first object of suspicion would be him, and he would be the first to ask for his head! place
Therefore, in order not to arouse Wang Mang's suspicion, he could only act in secret, and use shady means to solve the secret of Liu Xiushen in the whole country. ”
Liu Xiu nodded with a smile, indicating that Long Zhun was right.
He said faintly: "If I send a letter to the national teacher warning him to send someone to assassinate me again, I will spread the proverbs in the "Red Fu Fu" and make everyone know, what do you think the national teacher will do?" ”
At this time, Zhu You and Gai Yan's expressions jumped with joy, and they said in unison: "The national teacher will definitely not dare to act rashly, and the situation of the lord will be safe!" ”
Liu Xiu said: "It can't be said that it has been safe, but at least it can be safe for a while." ”
But that's enough, what they lack most now is time, as long as they are left with time to prepare for the uprising, he won't have to be afraid of the national teacher Liu Xiu in the future.
Everyone nodded in unison, thinking that Liu Xiu's idea was feasible.
Liu Xiu asked, "Who wants to go to Chang'an and send a letter to Guogong on my behalf?" ”
As soon as his words fell, Long Zhun said, "Lord, I'll go!" ”
Long Xiao answered: "I'll go too!" ”
Long Zhun and Long Xiao volunteered, took the initiative to ask Ying, and were willing to go to Chang'an to deliver the letter on behalf of Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu looked at Long Yuan, and when he saw the latter nodding, he said meaningfully to Long Zhun and Long Xiao: "Zhongyi and Shuli, after the two of you arrive in Chang'an, you must be more careful, the power of the national teacher in the capital is definitely not small, once the identities of the two of you are exposed, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, there are not many people in this world who can capture my two brothers!" Long Zhun and Long Xiao said confidently.
The two of them were able to successfully escape after assassinating Wang Mang, and their skills were naturally not small, and Liu Xiu didn't need to tell him too much.
He got up and walked to the shopkeeper's side, and when he got closer, he looked down and saw that the shopkeeper and his companions had been killed by the dragon.
Liu Xiu tore off the placket of the shopkeeper's clothes, dipped it in the blood of the corpse, wrote a blood book with the placket, dried it, folded it, handed it to Long Zhun, and said, "Go and come back quickly, I'll wait for you at Xinye Deng's house!" ”
Long Zhun carefully took the blood book into his arms, and then bowed to Liu Xiu with Long Xiao. Then, the two of them saluted Long Yuan again, and without lingering any longer, the two walked into the depths of the woods.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, until their figures had disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, Liu Xiu did not retract his gaze.
Long Yuan comforted: "Don't worry, my lord, Long Zhun has always been careful and alert, Long Jun is treacherous, the two of them are together, and they will be fine!" ”
Long Yuan is still very confident in his brother's ability.
Liu Xiu nodded, swept his eyes around, and said, "Search out all the things on them and take them away." ”
Although there is a shortage of soldiers now, and it is nothing to kill a few people, but with the death of so many people at once, it is not good that the government will intervene in the investigation and make a false appearance of robbery, even if the government investigates, it will not chase too deeply.
Liu Xiu and others found a lot of money on the corpse, and in addition to getting back the food money they had just paid, they also found thousands of dollars.
They cleaned up the scene, gathered up the weapons, took them to another place and buried them, and after they were all disposed of, they left the woods and went to Xinye.
Xinye is a large county in Nanyang County, and its population is comparable to that of Caiyang.
Entering Xinye County, walking on the streets, looking around, there are crowds of people, but most of the people are in tattered clothes, yellow faces and thin muscles, and the beggars on the side of the road are not one by one, but in groups.
Liu Xiu had been to the second sister Liu Yuan's house before, so she naturally knew where the second sister's house was. He, Zhu You, Gai Yan, and Long Yuan were walking forward, when several fast horses suddenly rushed towards them.
At this time, the streets were full of people, and these fast horses, as if they were in a no-man's land, were rampage, frightening the pedestrians on the road to dodge to both sides.
Not far from Liu Xiu and the others, there was a thin beggar, seeing the fast horses running towards him, the little beggar was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, but his feet slipped, and he didn't know what he tripped, he couldn't stand, and sat on the ground with a bow.
But at this moment, the horses had already run in front of him, and seeing that they were about to trample on him, Liu Xiu didn't think about it, and rushed forward with an arrow, grabbed the beggar's clothes, and then jumped to the side.
A few fast horses galloped almost close to the two of them. Zhu You, Gai Yan, and Long Yuan broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly rushed to Liu Xiu, and asked with concern, "Lord, are you okay?" ”
Liu Xiu shook his head, frowned at the few fierce horses that ran over, then looked down at the little beggar who was rescued by himself, loosened his clothes, and said, "Be careful when walking." ”
The beggar trembled with fright, nodded at Liu Xiu repeatedly, and before he could even say thank you, he took two steps back, and then ran into the crowd like a smoke, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhu You muttered dissatisfiedly: "What kind of person is this!" The lord saved him, and he wouldn't even say thank you! ”
At this time, the horses that ran over stopped one after another, and then several people on the horse turned their heads and walked towards Liu Xiu.
When he approached, several people on the horse grabbed the reins, stopped, and looked down at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu raised his head and looked at the few of them as well.
These people are not very old, they look like they are about twenty years old, and they can be judged by their clothes, they are all rich sons from extraordinary backgrounds.
The leader of the person, in his early twenties, is tall and handsome, but his eyes are floating, and when he looks at people, he looks at each other with the corner of his eye, giving people a sense of arrogance and evil.
The arrogant young man looked at Liu Xiu for a moment, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said, "You're quite fast, it's a practitioner, right?" ”
Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "I have practiced a few tricks of crop control." ”
"Humph!" The arrogant young man snorted and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Under Liu Xiu."
"Liu Xiu? Haven't heard of it. The arrogant young man said proudly: "I see that your skills are not bad, so stay by my side and be an entourage!" ”
Liu Xiu almost laughed, this person is not very old, his tone is not small, and listening to his tone, it seems that he has given himself a great favor. He said, "Sorry, I'm not interested, take my leave!" As he spoke, he turned to leave.
His refusal made the arrogant young man stunned, raised his eyebrows in disbelief, and several other young people reacted, one of them urged him to step forward, blocking Liu Xiu's way, and said with a smile: "You kid really doesn't know how to lift, do you know who this is?" ”
Liu Xiu looked at the young man in front of him, and then at the arrogant young man, shook his head very honestly, and said, "I don't know." ”
"This is Wang Jin's son, who is the clansman of today's son, do you dare not give Wang Gongzi face?"
He thought that after reporting Wang Jin's name, he would definitely be able to suppress this hillbilly, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to have no reaction at all after hearing Wang Jin's name, just like hearing the name of a cat and a dog.
Liu Xiu didn't know Wang Jin, but he had heard that there was such a person as him in Xinye.
Wang Jin's father is called Wang Jing, and Wang Mang is a distant relative, but after Wang Mang usurped the throne, Wang Jing didn't even get a title.
However, the identity of the same sect as the Son of Heaven is scary enough, at least in Xinye, ordinary people don't dare to provoke the Wang family at all.
Since Wang Mang usurped the throne, Wang Jing has been under the banner of the Son of Heaven's clan, first swaggering and deceiving, and then developing to the point of bullying men and women, and forcing them to buy and sell.
Even if someone reported it to the government, the government couldn't do anything about Wang Jing, and didn't dare to punish him at all, so Wang Jing was even more unscrupulous in Xinye, and the Wang family's family background also developed into a big businessman on the rich side in a very short period of time.
Wang Jing is lawless in Xinye, Wang Jing's son Wang Jin is Xinye's 'little overlord', in Xinye belongs to the master who is dangling horizontally, and even the county order will take a detour when he sees him, for fear that he will find his own trouble.
On weekdays, who saw Wang Jin not give three points? At this time, seeing that a hillbilly dared not to give Wang Jin face, the young man's eyes flashed with coldness, he raised his arm, picked up the horsewhip, aimed it at Liu Xiu's back, and whipped it viciously.
didn't need Liu Xiu to make a move, Zhu You, who was beside him, suddenly returned his hand and grabbed the whip that was drawn towards Liu Xiu. Before the young man on the horse could react, Zhu You broke off and shouted: "Get out of here!" ”
The young man was obedient. He felt a strong pull coming from the horsewhip, and before he could let go of it, the man had fallen from the horse.
Poof!
The young man's head hit the ground first, and then his body hit the ground.
He lay on the ground, his eyes wide open, but his eyes were unfocused, and his gaze was misty. After a moment's pause, he came to his senses, screamed in pain, clasped his head in his hands, and rolled all over the ground as he screamed.
Zhu You's sudden move stunned everyone present.
The arrogant young man jumped from his horse first, and then several other young men dismounted and drew their swords from their sides one by one. Seeing this, Zhu You was not afraid, but sneered.
He slowly raised his hand, pointed to the young men who came over with swords in hand, and sneered: "Just a few green onions and a few cloves of garlic of yours, tied together, can't match one of Lao Tzu's fingers!" ”
As he spoke, he deliberately stretched out a finger and shook it at several young people.
How could a hot-tempered young man stand such humiliation, he shouted angrily, rushed towards Zhu You with a sword, and took advantage of the sword to take him straight to the chest. Zhu You didn't even move his weapon, his body was slightly on one side, and he let go of the sword, and without waiting for the other party to put away the sword, he took a step forward, and at the same time flicked out with one finger, hitting the young man's eyebrows.
