Chapter 275: Deception

The maids in the Liujia Mansion in Xi'an have not had a moment of leisure since yesterday, and the whole house is busy packing and packing things.

Although Mrs. Liu instructed to exchange all the money tickets as much as possible, the two sons went to the pawn shop to know that these profiteers who were afraid of death had already gone to the empty building, and there was no way, the countless silver taels and antique vases in the house, all of them ordered their subordinates to protect the loading car and pull them away.

The front yard is lively, but the back house is very quiet, and the little maids in silk dresses are quietly standing in the corridor, and even walking is sticky and careful.

Because they knew in their hearts that every time this time came, it was the time for the eldest lady to cultivate, and no one was allowed to disturb them.

The place where Mrs. Liu repaired is a Buddhist hall in the innermost part of the back house.

This Buddha hall was repaired when Mrs. Liu gave birth to the eldest son, when Mrs. Liu was thin and thin, and the day of production was very popular, thanks to the fact that the Shaanxi Chengxuan envoy almost called the best gynecology in the entire Xi'an City, so that Mrs. Liu's mother and son were safe.

For this reason, in addition to thanking the political envoy, Mr. Liu still thought in his heart that God has the virtue of a good life, so he listened to Mrs. Liu's words and built such a Buddhist hall with a lot of money.

There are also people who have good things to chew their tongues after tea and dinner, saying that instead of worshiping this venerable god and Buddha, Old Man Liu might as well put the golden statue of his eldest daughter in the Buddha hall, and let Mrs. Liu worship every day.

How to say this, it sounds quite ridiculous, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is unreasonable.

Isn't it? Take it as an example, this eldest prince Liu Can is just a four-grade thousand president, when he was just born, the biggest in the entire Liu family was the one that their old man did to edit the Xi'an Mansion case, a big fart of the eight-grade official, can make the feudal official and the political envoy pull down his face and worry about the affairs in your mansion?

That's not because Liu Xuan had just been promoted to the position of concubine at that time, and it was the time when she was deeply favored.

So it can be seen from this incident that although Mr. Liu has read books all his life and has the name of an old man on his head, he is just a fool.

However, this Mrs. Liu is a delicate mind, and I don't know if she really wanted to thank the Buddha of the Quartet at that time, or she didn't want her eldest daughter to weigh more weight in the old man's heart.

Speaking of the Liu family's Buddha hall is indeed generous enough, the three big Buddha statues are all gold lacquer plated real body, a bottle of incense burner with a bottle of cigarettes on the rosewood table, and the two long floor lamps next to it are also powdered with gold paint, the hollow carving is exquisite, and then with the ceiling of the glazed sail and the brocade silk banner full of Sanskrit, so that the whole Buddha hall is noble and luxurious,

It's just that to describe such a Buddhist hall with splendor, I don't know if it's a little inappropriate.

In front of the table is a three-sided gray cloth futon, led by a kneeling Mrs. Liu,

She folded her hands, her eyes slightly closed, and she looked very religiously praying to the Buddha again, and standing behind her was her third son, the only one who thought about their sister Liu Xuan when she talked about leaving the city in the main hall that day.

"San'er, when facing the Buddha, be respectful, as long as you think in your heart, tell the Buddha all sincerely, and the Buddha will promise you."

Mrs. Liu closed her eyes, and her voice floated back melodiously, drifting into the ears of her third son, who answered yes, and like his mother, knelt on a futon a little behind, clasped his hands together, and muttered a prayer: "I hope our whole family is safe, I hope my sister can also be safe, and I hope our family can be reunited." ”

Mrs. Liu heard the very promising prayer behind her, and let out a faint breath, and said in a serious voice: "San'er, my mother knows that you are the best hearted among your brothers, and you are also respectful and diligent in your work. However, my mother also has to tell you, people, why do you have two eyes, one is to let you see the world, the other is to let you see the world clearly, only by seeing the world clearly, you can make your road wider and wider, if you start to go in the opposite direction, the more diligent and hardworking, but the deeper you go in the abyss, understand? ”

"Yes, mother."

The third child looked very respectful and bowed to Mrs. Liu,

Mrs. Liu waved her hand to the back without looking back, "Okay, you go outside to help, let my mother stay by herself for a while." ”

"Yes, mother."

The third child stood up very obediently, dusted off the dust on his robe, bowed to his mother, and then withdrew from the Buddhist hall.

Listening to the footsteps of her son's departure, Mrs. Liu's mouth let out a soft breath again,

"Alas, Buddha, my three sons, the eldest son is stubborn and self-serving, the second son is prodigal and does not know how to forge ahead, and the third son is kind and loyal and filial, but he is too wooden, what should I do, so that the three of them can work together to keep the family business of the Liu family, please Buddha for guidance."

As she spoke, Mrs. Liu, just like the third child just now, bowed respectfully to the Buddha on her head.

It's just that the Buddha didn't make a sound, and the shouts of the second son came in time.

"Mother! Mother! Get out of the way! ”

While shouting, ignoring the obstruction of the maids on both sides, he pushed open the paper window and door of the Buddhist hall with a "bang".

"Didn't I tell you before that there should be no noise in the temple? Don't you understand what you are talking about?! ”

Although Mrs. Liu's voice was still slow, the stern meaning in it made the second son shiver in fright, and he was stunned in place, and he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

"I ...... Me, mother. ”

"Well, tell me, what's the matter?"

The second son saw his mother speak, and hurriedly pointed to the outer house, and said happily: "Mother, the eldest brother is back!" ”

Mrs. Liu slowly opened her eyes,

"Okay."

After saying this good word, she bowed deeply to the Buddha statue, and then, with the support of the two maids, stood up from the futon, looked at her second son and said, "Is everything outside already cleaned up?" ”

The second son nodded, "Don't worry, mother, everything has been packed, we can leave now." ”

When the two of them moved from the Buddhist hall in the back house to the front yard, Liu Can, who was dressed in armor, had already commanded more than a dozen soldiers to pull a few carts in the courtyard to go out, and when they saw Mrs. Liu coming, they turned around and greeted them, "Mother, I have already taken care of the general soldiers of Tongguan Zou, as long as we leave Xi'an City and walk for a long time, we can enter the customs, and we will be safe when we enter Tongguan." ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and patted his son's shoulder armor gently, "Finally, there is one more that saves me some thoughts." Your father's illness is getting worse and worse, you should bring a few more people to protect your father's car, and the rest of the people will drive these cars and get through the customs as soon as possible. ”

"Got it, mother."

Liu Can brought back from the army these are a few soldiers, for the thieves and outcasts who dare to covet these big carts of property along the way, it is undoubtedly the biggest deterrent, at least before you use your brain, think about the wooden stick in your own hand, and the spear and steel knife in their hands,

So according to his meaning, under the escort all the way, there will not be much problem in arriving in Xi'an smoothly.

It's just that, to his great surprise, An Yi led the army of Shaanxi directly into a pole, and as soon as he left the city, he was unexpected.

The army in front set up a card and closed the road!

"Which way of soldiers and horses are ahead?"

The road out of the city, which was not wide, was blocked by the army, which was even more crowded, forcing the horse convoy of Liufu to stop, and the anxious Liu Cangao sat on the horse and kept looking forward, and then bowed his head and asked the pro-soldier who had just returned from exploring the way,

The pro-soldiers are also confused, the uniforms of the Northwest Xia Army are all the same, and they are not the Yangtze River Water Division, where can they tell who is who? Looking at the appearance of those sergeants, it is difficult to go up and ask which part of the people they are? I have to let the spy catch it.

"My subordinates don't know, this is close to Tongguan, and it may be the people sent by Tongguan."

Liu Can didn't know the general Zou of Tongguan, but he was only contacted through Zheng Yuan, so he didn't know if Tongguan really sent someone out, or if it was the northwest soldiers and horses withdrawn from Lanzhou City.

But anyway, it seems that they are not having a good time here.

"Hurry up in the back, hurry up! Keep up! ”

Soon, the surrounding cavalrymen with waist knives noticed their extremely conspicuous cart, drove through the crowded city gate hole, rushed to Liu Can's horse, pointed with their knives and asked, "Which house are you from?" ”

Liu Can, who often walks in the army, knows that no matter how big or small the officers in this army are, they have to look at the place, whose territory it should be, and they have to put a good attitude towards others.

He smiled slightly and arched his hand towards the two cavalrymen and said: "The two are polite, below is Liu Can, the commander of the Yangtze River Naval Division, who is preparing to go out of the city with the Liufu family, I don't know why a card was set up to block it?" ”

The cavalryman on the left didn't answer, looked up and down, then turned his head and whispered a few words to the one on the right, and the one on the right immediately sneered twice and replied: "It turns out that you are from the Liu family, our Highness has been waiting for you for a long time, give it to me!" ”

Under his order, all the soldiers who were interrogating around surrounded him, and thirty or fifty crossbowmen rushed out from the city gate, and pulled the bowstring of the moon on their convoy, and the cold light of the forest was stunned at Liu Can,

Only then did Liu Can understand that this checkpoint was clearly waiting for his family.

But how to say that the size is also a four-grade thousand general, let people point arrows like this, naturally they are also angry, "Qiang" also pulled out the saber on his waist, and took a dozen or so soldiers around him around the convoy together.

"Whose men are you? How dare you take someone casually for no reason! ”

"Who told you that we were taking random people?"

When the needles on these two sides were facing Mai Mang, in the streets and alleys in the distance, a man in a brocade robe rode out, a red horse on his crotch, paced slowly in front of the two cavalrymen, and then glanced at Liu Can, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The two arrogant and invincible cavalrymen just now hurriedly put away their waist knives, turned over and dismounted, bowed to the man, and bowed to the man: "My lord, this person personally admits that this convoy is the convoy of Liufu!" He is Liu Can, the eldest son of the Liu family! ”

Looking at the dress, I also knew that this person was comfortable, but Liu Can had never seen comfort, and thought it was the general of this team, so he was patient with the anger in his heart, and politely arched his hand and asked: "I don't know why the general set up a card again and stopped my car, if Liu Can is not mistaken, I and the adult seem to have never met, right?" ”

"General Liu, there is no one under you, what can you do if you don't meet me?"

An Yi's smiling face suddenly became sharp, and he turned sharply: "What's wrong is that your Liu family is guilty of rebellion and intends to rebel!" ”

"What?!"

Rebel against this big hat, but you can't bring it casually, it's all a matter of losing your head if you leave it there,

Liu Can naturally knew in his heart, how could he argue with An Yi again, and said with an angry face: "You don't want to spew blood, our Liu family is a good minister of the country from top to bottom, and he is loyal, but you, the general, have not dared to report his name until now, I am afraid that it is not a spy sent by someone who deliberately came to kill my general!" ”

After hearing this, An Yi sneered and said, "Heh, it's quite hard-mouthed!" Let me ask you, is the former concubine Liu Xuan your sister, is she from your Liu Mansion? ”

Liu Can was also stunned after hearing this, and before he could figure out how to answer, An Yi had already raised his hands high, made an arch gesture towards the north, and then said loudly: "At the behest of the queen's mother, Concubine Hui Liu Xuan committed a rebellion, stripped Concubine Hui of her uniforms, and arrested all the people involved in the case, you are Concubine Hui's relatives, how can you not be the same party?" Take them all for me! ”

"My lord! Adult ......"
