Liu Xiu relieved nonchalantly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that a group of assassins who don't know whether they are alive or dead suddenly appeared." ”

As soon as he said this, the faces of Guo Shengtong, Yin Lihua and others also changed.

Liu Xiu waved his hand at them and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, now the assassins have all been subdued. ”

As he spoke, he looked again at the banks of the river.

In this area, there are still many people on the shore, and the fight that happened on the building boat just now, and then the building boat sank directly to the bottom of the river, and the people on the shore must have seen it clearly.

Liu Xiu walked to the front of the deck, he walked all the way to the high point of the bow of the boat, and then stood on it and waved to the people on both sides of the river.

The people on the shore did see the fight on the boat and the sinking of the ship, they thought that Liu Xiu was on the sinking ship, and they were all worried.

Now seeing the Son of Heaven standing on another building boat, people are overjoyed, and soon, the two sides of Luoshui once again heard the cheers of the people like a tsunami.

Liu Xiu stood on the deck for a while, so that the people present could see clearly that he was now safe and sound, and then he returned to the cabin with Guo Shengtong, Yin Lihua and the ministers.

Although there was an assassination incident during the period, it did not affect Liu Xiu's prestige at all, but it also greatly improved Liu Xiu's prestige.

The people at the scene all spread the news of the situation at that time, saying that Liu Xiu fought dozens of assassins alone with the strength of one person, but instead of being injured by the assassins, he also killed all the assassins.

People spread Liu Xiu to be a god, there is something in the sky, but there is nothing on the earth.

In fact, the building ship is in the middle of Luoshui, which is quite far from both sides of the strait, and standing on the shore, it is impossible to see clearly the specific situation that happened on the deck, let alone whether Liu Xiu participated in the battle.

But as far as people's hearts are concerned, everyone hopes to have a powerful Son of Heaven, a Son of Heaven who is omnipotent, rescues the suffering, and can stand up in times of crisis, so the people are willing to believe that Liu Xiu has participated in the war, and with his own strength, he repelled all the assassins.

If only one person or two people said this, it would be difficult for the matter to spread, but everyone said so, the rumors spread rapidly, and they intensified, and finally passed Liu Xiu's word down, one sword, can kill several assassins, dozens of assassins, failed to go through three or five rounds in front of Liu Xiu When Hua Feiyan brought the rumors outside back to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu himself listened to it, he rubbed his hands, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't know, it turns out that I am so powerful, haha" Hua Feiyan looked at Liu Xiu with a proud face, It's ridiculous, the people outside don't know the real situation, don't you yourself understand, Your Majesty?

Who was the person who was so frightened by Ruan Xiu that he jumped off the boat and fled?

Of course, that's what I thought in my heart, but I can't say that.

She changed her words and said, "Your Majesty, Ruan Xiu's head is hanging on the city gate, and last night, an assassin really appeared and wanted to snatch Ruan Xiu's head. ”

Liu Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is the result?" ”

"A total of 12 people appeared, of whom eight were killed, three were captured, and one is at large, and the county soldiers are pursuing them."

After hearing this, Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The county government has done a good job this time." ”

Of the twelve assassins, only one escaped, and Liu Xiu was already very satisfied with such a result.

Hua Feiyan coughed dryly and said, "At that time, Xu Zheng was also present, and Xu Zheng and his subordinates cooperated with the county soldiers to jointly encircle and suppress the assassins. ”

Liu Xiu blinked and sighed.

Hua Feiyan added, "Liu Buxin's performance was excellent, and two of the three assassins who were captured were captured by him. ”

So, do you mean to say that hundreds of county soldiers are not as good as Xu Zheng's dozens of people in the rivers and lakes?

Liu Xiu glanced at Hua Feiyan with some dissatisfaction.

Of course, Hua Feiyan could see Liu Xiu's dissatisfaction, and she also knew what he was dissatisfied with, she smiled, and said uncontrollably: "Sometimes, the county soldiers can be of great use, but sometimes, the Jianghu people can also be more useful than the county soldiers, especially when dealing with the Jianghu people." ”

Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "What non-smoke means is that your decision to accept Xu Zheng and others was very wise and correct. ”

Hua Feiyan owed Liu Xiu seriously, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." ”

Liu Xiu snorted and laughed, laughing angrily, and suddenly found that Feiyan can sometimes stink farts better than herself.

He and Hua Feiyan were talking, and outside the door of the main hall, a palace maid coughed lightly.

Hua Feiyan glanced back, then got up and walked over.

When Hua Feiyan approached the palace maid, the latter whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Hua Feiyan squinted her eyes, and then nodded to the little palace maid.

The little palace maid understood, answered, and left quickly.

Hua Feiyan returned to the main hall and bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Buxin is asking to see you outside the palace. ”

"See you or see me?"

"It's not smoke."

"What's the matter with him?"

Liu Xiu asked curiously.

"Liu Buxin said that one of the captured assassins had already confessed, and he confessed a secret passage from the city to the Guo district."

When Liu Xiu heard this, he was secretly taken aback.

As early as when Ruan Xiu ambushed him in the city, he had a premonition that there was likely to be a secret passage connecting the city and Guo District in Luoyang, and he also asked people to investigate, but after checking it these days, there was no clue at all, and now it was the assassin of Si'a who took the initiative to recruit it, which was unexpected.

He said, "Let Liu Buxin come to the main hall to see me." ”

Hua Feiyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Feiyan has already asked someone to invite him over." ”

Liu Xiu was stunned and asked, "Feiyan knows that I will want to see him?" ”

Hua Feiyan said: "Your Majesty admires Liu Buxin so much, and now that he has made great contributions, Your Majesty naturally wants to meet him in person." ”

Liu Xiu sighed secretly, I don't know if Hua Feiyan has been by her side for too long, and she always knows his preferences.

He really admired Liu Buxin, and he also had a good impression of this person, he didn't show anything, but Feiyan still saw it.

It didn't take long for Liu Buxin to be led in by Hua Feiyan's maid.

After entering the main hall, Liu Buxin hurriedly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Little man Liu Buxin, meet Your Majesty, meet the flower beauty!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Buxin carefully stood up, bowed, lowered his head, and stood aside in an orderly manner, not daring to breathe.

Liu Xiu asked, "I heard that you captured two assassins with your own hands. ”

Liu Xiu and Liu Buxin have fought each other, and Liu Xiu has a certain understanding of his martial arts.

The assassins of the four Ah are not simple, especially the disciples of Ruan Xiu, who are especially powerful.

To be able to capture the two opponents, his own martial arts have to be a lot higher than the other party to do it, but obviously, Liu Buxin does not have that kind of strength.

Liu Buxin bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Don't dare to hide Your Majesty, the villain used shady means to stun those two assassins." ”

Liu Xiu was stunned at first, and then reacted, Liu Buxin learned illusion and made good use of smoke, he only needed to add some drugs to his commonly used smoke to stun the assassin, and it was indeed possible.

He said happily, "I thought you were the two assassins you captured with that fairy rope!" ”

Liu Buxin's old face turned red, and he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, the charlatan deception is really difficult to enter Your Majesty's eyes. ”

"Haha!"

Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, and after a while, he restrained his laughter and said: "Si'a assassins, they have always been not afraid of death, their bones are hard, many assassins are captured, and they would rather die than confess a word, how did you make the assassins open their mouths?" ”

Liu Buxin bowed, cleared his throat unnaturally, and whispered, "It's still drugging."

The villain is formulated with a drug that can make people delirious and produce hallucinations. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he said, "There is still such a drug?"

Do you have it with you?

Take it to me! ”

Liu Buxin knelt on the ground with a puff and stammered: "Your Majesty, such a pickled thing, you will kill the villain, and you don't dare to bring it into the palace." ”

Liu Xiu frowned, he was originally quite interested in the drug prepared by Liu Buxin, but he didn't bring it, which made Liu Xiu very disappointed.

Hua Feiyan on the side explained helplessly: "Your Majesty, if someone really dares to bring the psychedelic medicine into the palace, even if he has ten heads, it is not enough to cut it off." ”

The implication is that Liu Buxin's approach is correct.

Liu Xiu snorted and asked again, "This kind of drug you prepared is useful for anyone?" ”

Liu Buxin shook his head again and again, and said: "It is useless for some strong-willed people, only for some weak-willed people, it will have a miraculous effect." ”

"So, whether your drug works or doesn't work, you have to try your luck?"

"Not really."

Liu Buxin swallowed his saliva and said, "A strong-willed person can also make him weak-willed, through torture, or some other means. ”

"For example?"

"For example, killing their loved ones in front of the other person will break their will."

Liu Buxin lowered his head and said.

Liu Xiu asked: "Who is the assassin who confessed?" "It was because he had been continuously punished, and his will was blurred, and the villain's drug had an effect." ”

Liu Buxin said honestly.

Liu Xiu nodded, smiled at Liu Buxin and said: "You have done a good job and are also very smart, as long as you can do your best for the imperial court, your future road will even be wider and longer than Xu Zheng." ”

Liu Buxin was stunned for a moment, without saying a word, knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Liu Xiu, choked and said: "The villain is willing to be Your Majesty, willing to be a flower beauty, and follow the work of dogs and horses. ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand at him and motioned for him to get up and speak.

He asked, "Where is the secret passage that the Assassins confessed to?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's on Yong'an Street."

As he spoke, Liu Buxin also secretly glanced at Liu Xiu, and then he immediately lowered his head.

Hearing his words, Liu Xiu's face changed slightly, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

Yong'an Street is located in the northeast of Luoyang City, which is not an ordinary place, and the Taicang and Arsenal of the capital are located on Yong'an Street.

Taicang is the grain depot in the treasury, and the arsenal is the arsenal in the treasury, and the assassins dug the secret passage to Yong'an Street, and the purpose is self-evident, it is to go to Taicang and the arsenal.

Liu Xiumeng slapped the table and stood up suddenly, Liu Buxin was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground again, trembling and kowtowing forward.

Liu Xiu paced back and forth in the main hall and said in a deep voice: "The assassins actually dug all the secret passages to Yong'an Street!" What do they want to do?

Do you want to burn Taicang and rob the arsenal?

Do you have to wait until Taicang catches fire and the arsenal is looted before you can find out these secret passages?

It just doesn't make sense! ”

Listening to Liu Xiu's words, I don't know if he is scolding the assassin for being hateful, or scolding the county government for being useless, or both! Seeing Liu Buxin, who was kneeling below, sweating like rain, trembling into a ball, Hua Feiyan said softly to Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty is angry, hasn't the secret passage been found out now?"

And Taicang and the arsenal are still safe and sound.

It's not too late to make amends! ”
