Chapter 229: Exchange
Mu Yi, Liu Han's general, was the marquis of Wanhu, and was in charge of 10,000 dragoons in Chang'an City, which was the most elite soldier except for the Yulin Army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, Mu Yi also has another lesser-known identity, that is, the second elder of the military family whose status is second only to Tian Qingzhu.
With such an identity, but being reused by a cautious person like Liu Si, it is obvious that Mu Yi has won Liu Si's absolute trust with his unique method.
It seems that Liu Si's ascension to the throne must have been indispensable for Mu Yi's help.
And his uncle Liu Han said before the temporary that he had entered Chang'an to secretly investigate the affairs of the year, but he returned in vain, which is very likely to be related to Mu Yi.
Thinking of this, Liu Xi couldn't help but have no interest in this green note with delicate handwriting, so he casually threw the green note aside.
Seeing Liu Xi like this, Ma Xiu couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Yusheng, aren't you going to see the county lord of Yuyao?" ļ¼
In this situation, Mu Yi will definitely not know Liu Xi's identity, and even the people who have soldiers around Liu Xi were only discovered after Xiao Wu made a move, so the county lord of Yuyao asked him to meet must have nothing to do with Mu Yi, this time, even if Ma Xiu wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of what the county lord of Yuyao had.
Fingertips tapped lightly on the table, Liu Xi smacked his mouth, "I first arrived in Chang'an, there must be a lot of eyeliner staring at here, although I don't know what the Lord of Yuyao is looking for me, but it's better not to provoke it now, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble, but it will affect the overall situation." ā
After that, Liu Xi patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder, "Many things, in the end, there will always be an explanation, let's put it aside for the time being." ā
After talking again, the three of them went back to their rooms, and got up the next day, for fear of revealing their identities, Liu Xi naturally did not practice boxing in the morning as usual, and after washing, he inspected Princess Lan Jin's body and comforted her a few words, which soothed the sad Li Mengxiao's mood a lot.
Later, Liu Xi recruited Jiang Xuanli again, and Haosheng told him, asking the latter to take good people and protect the courtyard, let alone make trouble for his subordinates.
After all the things that should be instructed were explained, Liu Xi actually had a rare feeling of idleness, just looking up, he could see the towering Star Picking Pavilion in the imperial city of Liu Han, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of hatred in his heart.
Someday, the enemy will be stabbed.
I repeated these words that I had recited so many times in my heart.
If you don't go out for a day, you will be safe.
Liu Si seemed to have forgotten them, and he didn't send anyone to pass the word in the next few days, let alone recruit Liu Xi into the palace.
In this way, Liu Xi, who had nothing to do, stayed in the yard and played with Xiao Ling'er, seeing that Tian Xun'er was always smiling, and couldn't help but fantasize about the future life, probably like this, worry-free, leisurely and comfortable.
On this day, Liu Xi, as usual, was holding Xiao Ling'er basking in the slightly cool sunlight at the beginning of autumn, but he heard Jiang Xuanli roaring angrily in his ears, followed by several crisp sounds of the long sword unsheathed.
When Liu Xi turned around, he found that Jiang Xuanli and others surrounded a person dressed in linen cloth and wearing a patched hat on his head, this person had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, and was the county lord of Yuyao who could dance in his palm.
The scene in front of him really surprised Liu Xi, he would never have thought that the county lord of Yuyao would pretend to be a subordinate and get in by sending firewood and rice.
"Liu Xi!"
The county lord of Yuyao saw Liu Xi, so he called out, her voice was as crisp as a warbler's cry, Jiang Xuanli and the others were stupid, and at this time they also found that the person in front of them was their daughter's body, and they were all shocked in their hearts, looking back at Liu Xi, there was some uncertainty in their eyes.
Ma Xiu, who was shaking the Qiankun fan, and Xiao Wu, who was basking in the sun with his arms on the side, also looked at the county lord of Yuyao according to his prestige, and then looked at Liu Xi, obviously, the two of them did not figure out what the situation in front of them was.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Liu Xi also came back from surprise at this time, he never thought that the county lord of Yuyao would come to meet secretly, he didn't go to the appointment because of Mu Yi's matter before, but now that the other party has come to the door, it is naturally unavoidable.
That being the case, I can't help but listen to what she is looking for herself.
Thinking of this, Liu Xi retreated to Jiang Xuanli and the others, and hugged Xiao Ling'er to greet him, "The county lord came in this way, which really surprised Liu Xi. ā
Liu Xi said this, Ma Xiu suddenly closed the Qiankun fan, while Xiao Wu stared at the county lord of Yuyao with wide eyes, obviously they all understood the identity of the woman in front of them.
A trace of annoyance welled up on her delicate face, and Yuyao County Lord Yu pointed her finger at Liu Xi's cheek, "I think you are a person of faith, but you missed the appointment, it seems that you Liu Xi is just a celebrity touted by everyone, and it is actually difficult to live up to the fame under what the ancestors said." ā
A burst of dark fragrance came along the slender jade fingers of the county lord of Yuyao, and seeing her slightly annoyed appearance, I thought that I would wait in the restaurant that day.
As the county lord of Liu Han, he is extremely rich and glorious on weekdays, plus he is talented and has outstanding dancing skills, and there are very few people in this world who make Yuyao County Lord Bai and others.
Therefore, Liu Xi can also understand where her anger comes from.
Shrugging his shoulders, Liu Xi's chin rubbed lightly on the head of Xiao Ling'er, who was looking at the county lord of Yuyao, who was full of curiosity, and responded with a smile, "What the county lord said is that Liu Xi is just an ordinary man, and many things are just rumors. ā
After speaking, Liu Xi turned around and walked to the wooden chair where he was sitting before, and continued to tease Xiao Ling'er, which caught the county lord of Yuyao a little off guard.
As soon as those accusations were made just now, the county lord of Yuyao regretted it a little, and he thought that if Liu Xi got angry and kicked her out, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
But what the county lord of Yuyao didn't expect was that Liu Xi actually ignored her contemptuous questioning, and for a while, he didn't know how to speak.
Looking at the eyes staring at him around him, for a while, the county lord of Yuyao stomped on the ground, stepped forward and walked in front of Liu Xi, and said in a low voice, "Lord Liu, I have something I want to ask you for help." ā
Hearing this, Liu Xi did not respond, because there are some things that he can't say casually, especially at such a moment of danger, everything should be cautious.
Let a sleeping dog lie.
Seeing Liu Xi's appearance, the county lord of Yuyao probably guessed the reason, and his tone was weak with a bit of pleading, "Lord Liu, this matter will not make you feel too embarrassed, I want Lord Liu to persuade the famous son to meet me." ļ¼
"Famous son? I don't know which famous son the county lord said? ā
"Mingmiao, Mingzibai."
Hearing these two words, Liu Xi couldn't help but think of the emaciated figure, and he couldn't tell whether it was an enemy or a friend for this genius that Confucianism had been proud of for hundreds of years.
At that time, Confucianism abandoned the crown prince Liu Qu and turned to assist Liu Si, which made Liu Si stand firm, and the latter also vigorously promoted Confucianism and Taoism after ascending to the throne, and now the two can be said to be connected by lips and teeth.
Liu Xi wanted to kill Liu Si, and Ming Miao was a disciple of Confucianism, so he was naturally his enemy.
But after experiencing the incident in Yangqu City, Liu Xi had a new understanding of this Confucian disciple who was indifferent and not good at words, and during that time, it seemed that the two had become friends.
Looking at Xiao Ling'er, who was innocent in his arms and was still looking at the lord of Yuyao with curiosity, Liu Xi couldn't help but sigh secretly, but unfortunately after the Hun grassland competed for the treasure, he lost the news of Mingmiao.
I wonder if this famous miu who discovered his secret has been reported to the Confucian people?
He said a word silently in his heart, but then Liu Xi stopped thinking about it, if Ming Miao really told the Confucian rulers about this, I am afraid that he has not yet entered Chang'an City, and he will be surrounded by dense spies.
Although I don't know why Ming Miao didn't do that, in all fairness, Liu Xi is quite grateful to Ming Miao, otherwise he will not be able to move an inch in Chang'an City when his identity is exposed.
At this moment, the county lord of Yuyao spoke, and Liu Xi couldn't help but guess a little bit of intention, Ming Miao is the most talented disciple of Confucianism, and he is suave and suave, which attracts the heart of the county lord of Yuyao, but it is not impossible.
It's just that what does this have to do with him Liu Xi?
Liu Xi couldn't figure it out.
Perhaps seeing that he was silent, a trace of anxiety surfaced between the delicate eyebrows of the county lord of Yuyao, which solved Liu Xi's doubts.
"A few months ago, the famous prince returned to Chang'an, I met with him, the famous prince said that he only defeated you in this life, and since then he has disappeared, no matter how I look for it, it has never appeared again, so I want to ask Lord Liu to help."
Hearing this, Liu Xi couldn't help but look at the county lord of Yuyao again, Ming Miao can tell him about the matter between him, it seems that Ming Miao at least trusts the county lord of Yuyao, but whether there is any other meaning of admiration in this, Liu Xi does not know.
However, in private, Liu Xi didn't believe in that kind of speculation, although he only had a brief contact with Ming Miao, but Liu Xi knew that the other party's heart was on the long road of cultivation, and the whole person was also between dust and fireworks, and he didn't seem to be nostalgic for the world.
So right now, this Yuyao County Lord is showing his love, if this is one of the reasons for Ming Miao's disappearance, it is also very likely.
It's just that there are some words that shouldn't be spoken by him.
Therefore, facing the county lord of Yuyao, who was full of eagerness, Liu Xi smiled slightly, "Since the famous prince doesn't want to see people, what kind of virtue and ability can I Liu Xi have, so that he can come out to meet." ā
"Zibai is intelligent, he is a genius who has not been born in a hundred years, looking around, he is often lonely because he has no one who understands him, which is also regarded as arrogant by nature, so Zibai has no friends, and rarely mentions others to me."
Perhaps because she was too anxious, the county lord of Yuyao directly said the name of Mingmiao, which also showed that her relationship with Mingmiao was abnormal, as for whether the lord of Yuyao County knew the identity of Mingmiao's Confucian disciple, Liu Xi couldn't judge it for the time being.
While Liu Xi was thinking, the county lord of Yuyao stared at him and continued, "But you are different, I still remember the scene when Ming Miao came back, the snow in Chang'an City has not yet melted, he is thinner than before, standing in front of the river, while throwing stones, while talking about you. I've never heard Zibai say so much, so I understand that the stones he dropped smashed through the ice, causing the fish to come and play, and you smashed open the door of his heart that he had been locking, making Zibai feel a little less lonely from now on. ā
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xi was very surprised, and the thin figure couldn't help but appear in his mind again, he didn't understand why Ming Miao behaved like this.
Perhaps it was he who made this Confucian genius disciple who had always stood on a high place discover that there were things in the world that he could not do.
At least in the eyes of Ming Miao, he Liu Xi has something in common with Ming Miao, otherwise, the other party will definitely sneer at Liu Xi and ignore it.
But even so, so what?
The camps are different, and sooner or later the two will have to meet each other.
Collecting the chaotic thoughts, Liu Xi looked up and smiled and said to the county lord of Yuyao, "If he doesn't want to see you, how can I do it?" ļ¼
Sensing the change in Liu Xi's tone, the red face of the county lord of Yuyao, who had been anxious, showed a hint of joy, "As long as Lord Liu can make Zibai appear, he will definitely see me." ā
Smiling and shrugging his shoulders, Liu Xi couldn't help but ask again, "Since Mingzibai himself decided to disappear into everyone's eyes, it is not something that can be found casually, and I don't have the slightest idea, I'm afraid I will disappoint the county lord." ā
"As long as Lord Liu says that he wants to challenge Zibai, I think he should appear."
As if blurting out, the county lord of Yuyao said this sentence, but Liu Xi was a little surprised, and after a while, he couldn't cry or laugh and said, "My situation is not unaware of the county lord, when it is tightly hidden, you let me fight against Mingzibai, wouldn't it be very unwise to stand on the cusp of the storm." ā
How do you know that the county lord of Yuyao shook his head, "Lord Liu is a smart person, and he will not know that those who achieve great things sometimes have to go off the rails, no matter who wins or loses between you and Zibai, the reputation of the adults will spread in the Great Han Shilin, and I, Mu Xianxian, owe the adults a favor from now on, as long as I can do it." ā
Liu Xi's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his mind quickly thought about the words of the county lord of Yuyao, of course, he didn't care about Liu Hanshilin's reputation, but Liu Xi's bold move to go off the rails did not consider it.
Perhaps, this is also a good choice, the more you sell your reputation, the more you can make the enemy relax their vigilance, and this Yuyao county lord has been in Chang'an City for many years, and it is undoubtedly an extra help to use it.
Naturally, Liu Xi was moved.
"What if Mingzibai still doesn't show up?"
Lord Yuyao smiled sadly, "If Zibai still doesn't show up this time, then everyone in the world knows that the adult has won the most powerful champion of the Han Dynasty, and our agreement will not change, isn't it more beneficial to the adult?" ā
"Sounds good."
Touching the tip of his nose, Liu Xi looked like a philistine businessman who had made a windfall, and laughed wryly.
