The Li Mansion is a big family in Luoyang, the house is very large, and it looks magnificent.

Now the Li Mansion has become a mess, especially here at the gate, a large group of domestic servants are inside, a group of people in different costumes are outside, the people are desperately squeezing in, and the domestic servants are desperately pushing people out, and the scene is chaotic.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu frowned, turned his head to look at Long Yuan, who understood, waved his hand forward, and shouted: "Fence me up!" ”

The soldiers brought by Long Yuan swarmed up and surrounded these civilians in front of the gate of the Li Mansion.

Seeing the sudden appearance of so many soldiers around them, the chaotic scene suddenly quieted down, and the people were frightened, and they lowered their heads one after another, and retreated tremblingly.

Long Yuan took two steps forward and shouted loudly, "What's going on here? ”

None of the people spoke, and the crowd of servants parted, and out of it came a man and a woman, a man in his early twenties and a woman sixteen or seventeen years old.

The two came to Long Yuan, saluted together, and the man said: "General, these thieves, who have no king's law, want to break into the mansion and rob them, and ask the general to make decisions for us!" ”

When the people present heard this, their faces changed, and some of them shouted loudly: "We have no food to eat, and the Li Mansion is a big family in the city, so it should give us food!" ”

"That's right! You Li Mansion can't watch us all starve to death! ”

"The Li Mansion is so rich, why do you eat fragrant and drink spicy food, we have to suffer from cold and hunger in the city!"

The shouts of the people came and went, anyway, it can be summed up in one meaning, I am poor, so I am reasonable, even if I rob you, it should be.

The young man and woman turned pale with anger, clenched their fists tightly, and looked coldly at the people around them.

"Shut up!"

Long Yuan snorted, making the noisy scene quiet again.

He looked at the young man and woman in front of him and asked, "Who are you two?" ”

The young man respectfully bowed his hand and said: "General Hui, villain Li Chi, this sister-in-law Li Chunyue, my brother and sister are both from the fourth room of the Li Mansion. ”

Long Yuan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What about the rest of the Li Mansion, they are all gone?" ”

"Yes, General!"

"Why didn't your brother and sister leave?"

Long Yuan asked puzzled.

"The Li family has a big business, and it needs to be guarded."

Li Chi lowered his head, his face was gloomy, and said in a low voice.

Long Yuan understood as soon as he heard it, with such a big family business as the Li Mansion, there must be a lot of money and food accumulated in the mansion, and when he fled out of the city, he might not be able to take it all away, so it was necessary for the Li family to stay in the Li Mansion and take care of the family, and the unlucky ones who stayed behind were Li Chi and Li Chunyue's brothers and sisters.

It seems that the four-room should be the least favored room in the Li Mansion.

Before Long Yuan could speak, a man about thirty years old, wearing short brown, long pants, and straw sandals, arched his hand at him and said, "Master Jun, two days ago, the food in the villain's house was eaten up, and the villain has been hungry for two days, and if there is no food to eat, the villain will be starved to death!" There is a granary in the Li Mansion, and there must be a lot of grain stored, as long as a little bit is given to the villain, the villain will be content! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Long Yuan expectantly.

The other people also stepped forward one after another, knelt on their knees, kowtowed to Long Yuan, and said with a crying voice: "Master Jun, general, pity the poor villain, the villain's family really has no food to eat, and if he can't find food to go home, the villain will starve to death, and the parents, wives and children at home will starve to death!" ”

Let Long Yuan go to war, then he didn't say, let Long Yuan deal with the situation in front of him, he didn't have a problem, he didn't know how to deal with it.

He subconsciously stepped back and turned his head to look at Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu sneered and asked loudly, "You want to eat a full stomach, right?" ”

People subconsciously looked at Liu Xiu, he was wearing very ordinary casual clothes, short clothes, long pants, thin-soled fast boots, and the material of the clothes was not very good, just ordinary linen.

This kind of dress is a big deal on the street.

However, Liu Xiu's temperament is different from that of ordinary people, even if he wears the most ordinary clothes, it still makes people feel extravagant.

People can't see Liu Xiu's identity, and they don't know how to answer his questions.

Liu Xiu didn't need them to answer, he raised his voice and said: "If you want to eat a full stomach, it's easy, Xicheng, Nancheng, and Beicheng are all recruiting strong men, as long as you are willing to contribute, you will not be hungry if you are full!" ”

The people looked at each other, and many of them were happy.

But some people shook their heads and shouted, "We still have family, and our family needs to eat!" ”

"That's right, we don't have enough to eat alone, and the whole family is not hungry!"

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "As long as you work hard, you can also receive thirty yuan a day, and you can exchange this money for food, which is enough to support your family!" ”

Hearing his words, everyone discussed one after another, and a middle-aged man in his forties asked, "This lord, what you said is true?" ”

Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "I have always been true to my word, and I will never go back on my word!" ”

The people all looked happy, and the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Go!" Let's go to the West Side! ”

The middle-aged man took the lead and led the nearly 100 people outside the Li Mansion to the Xicheng side.

Seeing that all the hungry and red-eyed people left, Li Chi hurriedly bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Thank you for your help, otherwise, the Li Mansion will definitely suffer this time!" ”

If these people are really allowed to rush into the Li Mansion, I am afraid that not only the grain will be robbed, but also the valuable items of the Li Mansion will have to be removed by them.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and asked, "What is the name of the head of your Li Mansion?" ”

"Father Li Zhong!"

Li Zhong! Liu Xiu thought about it and had never heard of this person.

He raised his eyes and looked at the mansion of the Li Mansion.

This mansion, even in the entire city of Luoyang, is second to none.

Seeing Liu Xiu looking at his house, Li Chi hurriedly turned to the side and said, "My lord, please go inside!" ”

After all, Li Chi was born in a large family, and he was quick-witted, he didn't know Liu Xiu's specific identity, but seeing that Long Yuan and others, who could transfer troops, were respectful to him, presumably this person's status in the Han army must not be simple.

Liu Xiu walked into the gate of the Li Mansion with his hands behind his back, turned the shadow wall, walked into the door of the inner house, and was greeted by a large courtyard with an open space, cleaned up, walked through the courtyard, and came to the main house.

Looking around, the main room is very beautifully decorated, and the mat on the ground is soft and thick, and it is very comfortable to walk on it.

Looking at the wall, there are still a lot of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, Liu Xiu took a general look around, and secretly exclaimed, this Li family is really strong.

He said: "Someone wants to break into the Li Mansion, why don't you go and report to the official?" ”

Li Chi smiled bitterly, bowed down and said: "My lord doesn't know, the officials of the county government have already run away, and the current county government is already useless. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Even if the county government is not there, there can be no order in the city, and if today's incident happens again, you can go to the barracks and ask the officers and soldiers for help!" ”

Li Chi hurriedly responded: "Thank you, my lord!" Thank you, sir! ”

Liu Xiu said: "Your Li Mansion, the relationship with Kui Huan should be very good, right?" ”

In Hanyang, Lüyang is also a big city, and a big family like the Li family should also be able to rank among the top in the entire Hanyang, and the relationship with Kui Huan cannot be bad.

When Li Chi heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he was speechless.

Li Chunyue glanced at her brother and said to Liu Xiufu: "My father and King Shuoning do have some friendship, but the ninth brother and the people's daughter are both unfavored children in the family, otherwise, my father would not have left the ninth brother and the people's daughter, and waited for death in the old house." ”

I don't know how long the battle of Lüyang will last, and being left in the old mansion is almost like waiting for death! Liu Xiu glanced at Li Chunyue, and secretly said that this little girl was smart, and she knew that she had no relationship with the Li family, so she showed weakness by not being favored and won sympathy.

His eyes swept over Li Chi and Li Chunyue, and asked with a smile, "Your brother and sister have a very deep relationship. ”

Li Chunyue said: "Originally, my father only wanted to keep the people's daughter alone and guard the old house, but the ninth brother disobeyed his father's order and secretly stayed. ”

This surprised Liu Xiu, he turned his eyes to look at Li Chi, who owed a debt, and said: "The fourth aunt only has two children, the villain and the sister, since she was a child, the villain and the sister have depended on each other, the villain is really not at ease, let the sister be such a little girl, and keep such a big old mansion alone." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, he admired Li Chi's personality.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I can ensure that your brother and sister are safe and sound in the Li Mansion." ”

Li Chi and Li Chunyue were overjoyed, they were not too worried about the hungry people in the city, after all, there were still many domestic servants and guards in the Li Mansion, and what they were really worried about was the Han army.

If the Han army wants to raid the Li Mansion, then no one can stop it.

The brother and sister were about to thank Liu Xiushi, but the latter waved his hand to them again, and said with a smile: "I can keep your brother and sister safe, but Li Chi, you also have to do me a favor." ”

Li Chi looked at Liu Xiu puzzled, and asked cautiously, "I don't know, what do the adults ask the villain to help?" ”

Liu Xiu asked: "Can you have pen and ink and silk silk?" ”

Li Chunyue said: "The people's daughter will go and get it." ”

As she spoke, she walked out quickly.

After a short time, she took a piece of silk silk and pen and ink.

Liu Xiu first picked up the silk silk, looked at it, and then tore off a strip.

Then, he lifted the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote six words on this silk silk, following the path of heaven and returning to the right path.

Then, he wrote the word 'show' under these six characters.

After writing, he picked up the silk silk, shook it, and when the ink was dry, he rolled it up, handed it to Li Chi, and said: "Tomorrow, you go out of the city to the camp of the Long army, and look for an opportunity to secretly hand over this piece of silk to Wang Zun." ”

Li Chi's face changed suddenly, and he stammered, "Big ...... My lord, this ...... This ......" Liu Xiu said slowly: "You have done a good job and made great contributions, I can help your brother and sister separate from the Li family and stand on their own."

If you don't do it well, and you dare to report to Kui Huan, then the first unlucky one is Ling Mei. ”

As he spoke, his gaze fluttered towards Li Chunyue.

Li Chi's body trembled, he knelt down with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, ......" "Ling Zun has a friendship with Kui Huan, and it is not difficult for you to enter the camp of the Long Army."

As for how to find a chance to meet Wang Zun and secretly hand over this silk to him, it depends on your ability. ”

Liu Xiu said: "I have always kept my word and done what I said.

Whether you can seize this opportunity or not, Li Chi, it's up to you. ”

Li Chi's face changed uncertainly, and after pondering for a long time, he raised his head and asked, "I don't know the name of the adult?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Liu Xiu." ”

Li Chi and Li Chunyue's faces both changed greatly.

Liu Xiu?

That...... Isn't that the Son of Heaven?

Li Chi reacted extremely quickly, immediately kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Grass people Li Chi, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

Li Chunyue also knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "The people knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "You two get up!" ”

After a pause, he said with a straight face: "I, one word!" Li Chi, would you like to help me? ”

Li Chi no longer hesitated this time, and said loudly: "The grass people are willing to serve Your Majesty!" ”

The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth raised and said, "Very good!" Tomorrow morning, you'll be out of town! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Luo You beside him and said, "Luo You, these days, you have been taking care of Miss Li closely. ”

Of course, Luo You understood what Liu Xiu meant, saying that he was taking care of it, but in fact, he was guarding him under house arrest and preventing Li Chunyue from leaving the Li Mansion.

Li Chi and Li Chunyue, brother and sister, also knew it, but they didn't say much.

The next day, according to Liu Xiu's arrangement, Li Chi went out of the city along the east gate of Luoyang, and went straight to the camps of the Long army and the Shu army.

Without saying anything all the way, Li Chi smoothly came to the gate of the camp, identified himself to the guards, and asked to see Kui Huan.
