Chapter 173: Hitting the Rabbit with Grass

The Deng family's cattle herding boy has met a nobleman!

When Liu Xie accompanied Deng Ai back to Deng Village, he immediately attracted the attention of the people of Deng Village. Deng Ai lost his father when he was a child, and his mother raised Deng Ai by sewing pulp and laundry for others, and Deng Ai was often ridiculed and teased by his peers because of his stuttering.

But it's such a stupid boy who is usually looked down upon, but today he was carried back to the village together. Although the people in the village did not have much knowledge, as long as they looked at the cavalry who entered the village and the clothes of the one who rode the same horse with Deng Ai, they knew that the person sitting behind Deng Ai was extraordinary.

encountered such a big scene, and naturally only Muramasa stepped forward. It's just that as soon as Muramasa moved, the opposite side was bowed and wound, and the knife was unsheathed, as if there was a posture of Muramasa getting closer and killing on the spot. Muramasa didn't dare to move, if he really met a stunned master, wouldn't he die very unjustly.

The village is surnamed Deng, and he is also the patriarch of the Deng clan who lives in Deng Village, and he usually says the same thing in the village, but he doesn't dare to play with the officers and soldiers. Among the people who entered the village in front of him, only Deng Ai felt that he could say two words. The cow Deng Ai put was his family, but Deng Ai came back at this time, but the cow did not come back, which also gave Deng Cunzheng a chance to speak.

"Deng Ai, where is the cow?" Deng Quan asked Deng Aidao out loud.

"Cow, cow gone." Deng Ai bowed his head and replied.

When Deng Quan heard that the cow was gone, he was about to get angry, but after seeing the noble man sitting behind Deng Ai, especially the strong man who was guarding the side, he could only hold back the scolding that came to his mouth. For now, it is better to find out the origin of this group of officers and soldiers who entered the village.

"If you don't, it's gone, it's okay if you're okay." Deng Quanqiang squeezed out a smile and said to Deng Ai.

Deng Ai looked at Muramasa in surprise, how could Muramasa, who was called Iron Rooster by the villagers behind his back, suddenly be so generous. That's a cow, not a weed, and people usually have to look around for a chicken, let alone a cow that is worth more than a chicken.

"You, come forward and answer." Liu Xie stretched out his hand and rubbed Deng Ai's little head, and said to Deng Quan, who was standing in the distance.

Deng Quan didn't dare not listen, but when he was still more than ten steps away from Liu Xie, he heard Dian Wei burst into a shout, "Stop!" Deng Quan hurriedly stood up and bowed his head to wait for the other party's questioning.

Liu Xie was very sympathetic to the Deng Quan in front of him, and on the way to Deng Village, Liu Xie had basically understood the current situation of Deng Village from Deng Ai's mouth. It is no wonder that Deng Quan, a person who is usually used to being an uncle, suddenly pretends to be a grandson with others.

Liu Xie is not interested in talking to the Deng Quan in front of him, there is only one purpose for coming to Deng Village, that is, to pick up Deng Ai's mother from Deng Village, if you don't pick it up, you can't do it, Deng Ai, a stupid boy, doesn't take his mother away, he doesn't want to go with Liu Xie at all. Liu Xie is planning to cultivate Deng Ai as a famous person in the future, and there is no problem in supporting one more person, not to mention that picking up Deng Ai's mother can also make Deng Ai more grateful to himself, so there is naturally no need to worry about loyalty.

If you want to be loved by others, you first need to do something worthy of their love. Identity and ability do not make people return to their hearts, only by paying can they reap. Liu Xie understands this truth.

"Do you have a carriage at home?" Liu Xie asked a question that Deng Quan couldn't guess when he wanted to.

"Huh?" Deng Quan looked up at Liu Xie in surprise, almost wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Ahh

"Uh......" Deng Quan hesitated a little, he really had a carriage at home, and it wasn't long before he bought it back, and he planned to use it in the village in the future. If you want to say that there is, will it be snatched away by the gang in front of you? But no...... Will Deng Ai's "little spy" tell the truth?

"Ten dollars, I bought it." Liu Xie knew what he was afraid of as soon as he saw Deng Quan's dilemma, so he simply made his words clear.

The carriage only cost five times, and it was someone else who replaced it with a new idle second-hand car, and when he heard that the other party wanted to buy it with ten times, Deng Quan's heart was moved. After all, if you trade in the old for the new, you can still leave two cash, and this transaction can be done.

"Big, big brother, the carriage is not worth so much......" Deng Ai reminded Liu Xiedao at this time. When Deng Quan heard this, he couldn't wait to cover Deng Ai's mouth, if Deng Ai messed up this good thing, he would ...... I really don't dare to do anything to Deng Ai. The leader of the group in front of him obviously cared about Deng Ai.

"Silly boy, Master knew that the carriage was not worth so much, but we were short on time, so the bargaining was waived."

"Master?" Deng Ai repeated in confusion.

"Good ~ Hey, do you sell it or not?" Liu Xie smiled and rubbed Deng Ai's little head, and asked Deng Quandao impatiently.

"Sell, sell, and ask this son to send someone to go home with me to pick up the car." Deng Quan nodded hurriedly.

"No need, you go back and drive the car to the door of Deng Ai's house. Lao Dian, I will give him fifteen guan in one time, and the other five guan will be regarded as my cow money to compensate Deng Ai on his behalf. ”

"No." Dian Wei agreed. With a wave of his hand, two people immediately stepped forward and left with Deng Quan, and Liu Xie accompanied Deng Ai back to Deng's house.

Deng Ai's home is on the periphery of Deng Village, Liu Xie and his party enter the village from the north of the village, and Deng Ai's home is in the south of the village. Mother Deng had heard the news a long time ago, but after all, she was a woman, in addition to worrying or worried, until she saw Deng Ai appear in front of her, her hanging heart was slightly lowered.

Seeing the Deng family, Liu Xie dismounted and reached out to hug Deng Ai off the horse, frowned and said to Deng Ai: "Deng Ai, you are too thin, you have to eat more in the future." ”

"Hmm." Deng Ai nodded in agreement, and then looked at his mother. Seeing this, Liu Xie smiled and said, "Go ahead." Deng Ai seemed to be free, spread his legs and ran to his mother, knelt down and said, "Mother, the child is back." ”

Mother Deng didn't say anything, helped Deng Ai to check it first, and found that there was no problem with the child before she made a blessing to Liu Xie, who came over, and asked: "Dare to ask this son, I don't know what is the matter with looking for my child?" If the child has offended the child, please also ask the childe to have a large amount, don't be surprised. ”

"Huh...... You are mistaken. Deng Ai didn't offend me, but I took a fancy to his character and wanted to give him a fortune. Deng, there is a lot of inconvenience to talk here, so it is better to find a place to talk and talk in detail. ”

"The family is simple, and it is not strange to hope for the son."

"Haha...... Humble is also humble this time. Deng, lead the way. Liu Xie laughed and said to Deng.

Under the eyes of everyone, the Deng family was not worried that the group of people in front of him would mess around, so he raised his hand and invited Liu Xie into the house. Liu Xie nodded, and instructed Dian Wei on the side: "Old Dian, you don't have to go in, stay outside, so as not to scare people." ”

"Lord, in case something happens......"

"What can happen to orphans and widows? Are you still afraid that they will be assassins? Liu Xie said with a smile.

"No, it's a matter of the Lord's safety, I must follow." Dian Wei stubbornly insisted.

“…… Well, then there can only be you. Seeing this, Liu Xie compromised.

Liu Xie stopped Deng's move to prepare a bowl of water for Liu Xie, and asked Deng to sit down before he spoke: "Deng's, I don't hide it, I am the son of the Han Dynasty, today I was leading the army to pursue the remnants of Zhang Fei, and I met Deng Ai on the way, and found that Deng Ai's child was simple-hearted and grateful, so he intended to find a teacher for him to teach, and he didn't have to continue to waste time here." ”

The Deng family is already stupid, although the world is chaotic now, except for Yuan Shu, who no longer knows how long the grave grass is, it seems that only the Son of Heaven who represents the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty is left. But will the Han Emperor take a fancy to his stammering son? Do you want to find a teacher for him? Deng suddenly felt that he was dreaming, he must be dreaming.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Deng Ai saw that his mother was stunned, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Deng Ai, it's okay, your mother just couldn't believe it for a while. You're young, so you don't feel that way, but it's different for your mother. Liu Xie explained to Deng Ai with a smile.

"Oh." Deng Ai responded as if he didn't understand.

"What people!" Just when Liu Xiejing was waiting for Deng to come back to his senses, Dian Wei, who had not spoken since entering the house, suddenly burst into a loud shout, and at the same time, the small halberd in his hand was also thrown out towards the roof beam. Liu Xie reacted quickly, regardless of whether Dian Wei had a false alarm or not, he retreated to Dian Wei's side first, and easily pulled Deng Ai behind him to protect him.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and at the same time as Liu Xie's activities, a person jumped from the roof beam and acted quickly to Liu Xie. But Liu Xie and Dian Wei cooperated tacitly, and while Liu Xie retreated, Dian Wei also took a step forward to protect Liu Xie and Deng Ai behind him, and collided head-on with the gentleman on Liang.

Seeing this, the uninvited guest did not entangle, and immediately retreated to Deng's side and held his sword on guard. The atmosphere in the room was tense for a while. Deng Shi obviously didn't react, and looked at the person in front of him in a daze. At this moment, the guards who were waiting outside the house also rushed in shouting, kicking the door and smashing the window, surrounding the Assassin and the Deng clan.

"Don't hurt my mother." Seeing this, Deng Ai hurriedly shouted.

"Huh? Deng Ai, don't you stutter? Liu Xie looked at Deng Aidao with some surprise.

"I, I don't stutter when I'm in a hurry. Big brother, don't let anyone do it, that person is my uncle. Deng Ai hurriedly introduced to Liu Xie.

"Your uncle?" Hearing this, Liu Xie looked at the man who was protecting the Deng family, dressed as a ranger, and seemed to be a battle-hardened master.

"What's your uncle's name?" Liu Xie asked Deng Aidao in a low voice.

"My uncle's name is Deng Zhan."

"Deng Zhan?" Liu Xie immediately frowned when he heard this, this name has already been registered in Tianyan. When Li Ru was assassinated, Tianyan also sent people to protect him, but Deng Zhan avoided those good hands to assassinate Li Ru, and after he succeeded, he retreated. This is tantamount to a slap in the face to Shi Ah and Zhu Dao, who are in charge of training assassins in the Heavenly Eye. In order to save face, Shi A and Zhu Dao asked Liu Xie for their lives, and personally brought people to Wancheng just to meet this Deng Zhan, and I don't know if this Deng Zhan in front of them is the Deng Zhan that Shi A and Zhu Dao have been looking for.

"What does your uncle do?" Liu Xie asked again.

"He, he ......"

"Stuttering again?" Seeing this, Liu Xie frowned, and said to Deng Ai: "Deng Ai, you have to be cured, how can you not even control your tongue." ”

"Hmm." Deng Ai nodded heavily.

"Good boy, then you go on, what does your uncle do?" Liu Xie touched Deng Ai's head and asked.

"Hmm...... I, and I neither, know. ”

"You don't know?"

“…… Well. ”

"Deng Ai, lying is not a good boy. You really don't know? ”

"......" Deng Ai stopped talking now, and lowered his head and didn't look at Liu Xie. Liu Xie is not easy to ask a five-year-old child, but judging by Deng Ai's reaction, this Deng Zhan may be the assassin who assassinated Li Ru.

"Hey, Deng Zhan, did you kill Li Ru?" Liu Xie did not embarrass Deng Ai, and directly asked Deng Zhandao, who was surrounded by everyone.

“…… Be. ”

"Huh...... Are you honest, aren't you afraid that I will order someone to kill you to avenge Li Ru? ”

“…… I don't want to upset their mother and son. Deng Zhan was silent for a moment and replied.

"Okay, one person does things and one person is responsible, just tie your hands, I can guarantee that it will not embarrass their mother and son." Liu Xie assured Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan hesitated for a moment, threw away the sword in his hand, and immediately someone rushed forward and pressed him to the ground and tied it with ropes. Deng didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him, everything was fine, his child was valued by nobles, and he was deliberately cultivated, and his uncle was discovered, and in a blink of an eye, he became the family of the assassin......

"Big brother, don't kill my uncle." Deng Ai pleaded with Liu Xie with tears in his eyes.

"Silly boy, don't shed tears easily. Remember, men don't flick when they have tears. Liu Xie stretched out his hand to wipe Deng Ai's tears, "Since you begged me not to kill him, then give me a reason not to kill him, and if you say it well, I won't kill him." ”

When Deng Ai heard this, he hurriedly used his little brain, and tried to think about the reason why Liu Xie would not kill his uncle, but after thinking about it, he didn't come up with a clue. Deng Ai was only five years old, and it was Deng who usually taught him some words, and if he could really give a convincing reason at this time, Liu Xie would ask him if he was from the same background as himself.

"Big brother, I can't think of it, but I'm willing to exchange my life for a life." Deng Ai looked at Liu Xie with a serious face and said.

"Nonsense!" Liu Xie frowned and shouted

"Big brother, except for his mother, only his uncle is the best to Deng Ai, he has never disliked Deng Ai because of Deng Ai's stuttering, and every time he comes back, he will bring some books to Deng Ai, so Deng Ai doesn't want to see him have anything."

"So you're holding your life at risk?"

“…… Big brother, Deng Ai doesn't know what he has to value for his big brother, but since the big brother is good to Deng Ai, it must be Deng Ai who is worthy of the big brother's attention. ”

"Huh...... The little guy is quite cunning. Okay, it's not impossible to spare your uncle, but you have to convince your uncle that he can't do things for Liu Bei anymore and let him do things for me. Otherwise, ......" Liu Xie laughed, stretched out his hand and flicked Deng Ai's brain.

Deng Ai was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at Deng Zhan, who was tied aside. Facing his nephew's eager gaze, Deng Zhan sighed, he never dreamed that his life would be saved by his five-year-old nephew. assassinated Li Ru, Deng Zhan didn't think there was anything at first, but when Shi A and Zhu Dao brought a large number of fellow Daoists to Wancheng, Deng Zhan realized that he might have really stabbed the hornet's nest this time.

After escaping the encirclement and suppression of Shi A and Zhu Dao several times in a row, Deng Zhan had nowhere to go but to hide in his brother's house. The elder brother died early, leaving orphans and widows, if it weren't for Deng Zhan's help from time to time, the mother and mother would have starved to death. Deng Village is located in the middle of nowhere, and Shi Ah and Zhu Dao will not be able to find this place for a while, so Deng Zhan will live and recuperate with peace of mind. didn't expect that Skynet would be restored but not leaked, Shi A and Zhu Dao didn't come, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, would come to Deng Village for Deng Ai.

Although Deng Zhan didn't know Liu Xie, as soon as he looked at Dian Wei beside Liu Xie, he realized that the identity of the person who came to pick up Deng's mother and son was not ordinary. In order to avoid extraneous branches, Deng Zhan did not show up, but hid on the roof beam. But when Liu Xie claimed to be the son of the Han Dynasty, he still startled Deng Zhan, who was hiding on the roof beam, and as a result, Dian Wei, who was born in Orion, found out.

"You, you really don't kill me?" Deng Zhan looked up at Liu Xie and asked.

"The two armies clashed, and life and death were mutually assured. did not take revenge on the battlefield, but privately sought an opportunity to retaliate. You killed Li Ru as ordered, even if I want to kill you, it will be to solve you on the battlefield, not on the occasion now. Of course, not killing you has something to do with Deng Ai, you have a good life, and you have a nephew who I value. Liu Xie replied in a deep voice.

Deng Zhan looked at Deng Ai with a complicated expression when he heard this, and found that Deng Ai was still looking at him nervously, as if he was afraid that he would refuse to serve Liu Xie.

In fact, as a ranger, life is not as easy as others think. used to train hundreds of technicians for Liu Bei, but Deng Zhan wanted to have a stable income to help Deng's mother and son. After all, Ranger has no stable source of income, and Deng Zhan disdains to do the kind of thing of "killing the rich and helping the poor".

successfully assassinated Li Ru, and before Liu Bei's reward was in hand, Shi A and Zhu Dao took people to retaliate. Deng Zhan was hiding in Tibet during this time, and he had already lost contact with Liu Bei. Originally, the relationship with Liu Bei was a mutual use, and the righteousness of the monarch and the minister was not deep, and Deng Zhan did not have a long ideological struggle, so he nodded and agreed to Liu Xie's request.

For whom to work is not to sell! What's more, Liu Xie represents the orthodoxy of the Han family, and Liu Bei, I'm afraid it won't be long before the reputation of the thief will spread all over the world. Instead of working for the thief, it is better to take this opportunity to become a member of the establishment. Although you can't see the light of day at work, at least you don't have to worry about being chased and killed all day long.

Liu Xie originally wanted to recruit the future famous general Deng Ai to his command first, so as not to worry about others, but he didn't want to hug the grass and fight the rabbit, not only got a Deng Ai, but also accepted Deng Zhan, an assassin who could avoid Shi A and Zhu Dao. Deng Zhan didn't realize his role, but Liu Xie did. The reason why Wancheng Jia Xu didn't dare to make a big move was afraid of Deng Zhan's knife hidden in the shadows. Jia Xu is scheming, and he is also good at self-preservation, under the premise that he has no guarantee at all, he is easy to refuse to move the nest, and Deng Zhan is not solved one day, it is equivalent to a knife hanging over people's heads, which may fall at any time.

But now that Deng Zhan has surrendered, it means that the only external factors that may threaten the lives of those masterminds under Liu Xie are no longer there, and people like Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Sima Yi can let go of their hands and feet to concentrate on dealing with the combination of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. 1.
