Chapter 12 The Zhen family has an appointment

Liu Xie didn't expect that the person from the Zhen family was a nine-year-old girl, and Zhen Mi didn't expect that the person sent by the imperial court to buy grain turned out to be an eleven-year-old hairy boy.

"Zhen Mi has seen Wang Gongzi." Zhen Mi bowed down and said a blessing to Liu Xie. immediately secretly went to see Liu Xie's reaction, don't look at the young age, but Zhen Mi is much more mature than her peers, many people who saw their true faces in the past will unconsciously show their lustful appearance, and they have seen it many times, Zhen Mi usually covers her face with a light veil when she goes out. But this time, in order to show respect, Zhen Mi took off the veil.

But Liu Xie's reaction made Zhen Mi stunned, not pretending to be calm, although those clear eyes were full of appreciation, they were only appreciation, and they couldn't see the desire to possess that they could often see in the past.

Liu Xie can be Zhen Mi's uncle even if he is counted as a psychological age, plus he does not have the special hobbies of those famous people in ancient times, although Zhen Mi is beautiful, but in Liu Xie's eyes, he is still a budding flower and bone, more cute than beautiful. The mentality is different, and the eyes revealed are naturally different, and there is appreciation, but there is no lustful thought. It's just that Liu Xie didn't know that his performance made Zhen Mi look at him in his heart, he was different.

Zhen Mi came to Liu Xie naturally not to have a love for Liu Xie, the purpose of her coming was actually just to explore Liu Xie's tone, no wonder the Zhang family wanted to send Zhen Mi, who was similar in age and had a common language. But after talking for a few words, Zhen Mi found that the Liu Xie in front of him was not easy to deal with, and it was much more difficult than the "fools" he had met before.

"Tomorrow, Zhen Mi will go out of the city with her sisters, if Wang Gongzi has time, it is better to go together, so that my Zhen family can enjoy the friendship of landlords." Before leaving, Zhen Mi sent an invitation to Liu Xie.

"Okay." Liu Xie nodded and said with a smile.

After sending Zhen Mi away, Liu Xie was just about to go back, when he saw Zhao Yu appear behind him at some point, looking angry, telling the people around her that she was very angry now.

"Girl, what's wrong? Who you off? Liu Xie asked with a smile.

“…… Hum. Zhao Yu snorted lightly, ignored Liu Xie, turned his head and entered the door, seeing that Liu Xie couldn't help but shake his head. It seems that this jealousy really can't be determined by age, two girls, one wants to dig a pit for herself, and the other can't see herself say a few more words to other women, who is she recruiting to provoke whom?

……

The next day, the Zhen family sent someone to pick up Liu Xie early in the morning, and it seemed that Zhen Mi's invitation was not casually. Well, it's not necessarily, after all, with the Zhen family's status in Wuji County, it doesn't seem to be difficult to organize an outing, and having one night of preparation time is almost enough.

Since the host sent someone to invite, Liu Xie naturally took the host's own and let the people around him take a vacation, so that they could wander around Wuji County and relax. He took Dian Wei and Zhao Yu, who was making a fuss about going with him, and got into the carriage sent by the Zhen family and went out of the city.

After joining the Zhen family's team, Liu Xie regretted it, in the entire team, except for the guards who were male, he was a male animal. All the five daughters of the Zhen family were present, except for Zhen Mi, who met last night, the other four of the five daughters of the Zhen family all appeared.

With a group of old ladies who want to have a good time, it's basically no fun, Liu Xie estimates that this time out of the city to play, that is, after a walk outside the city, he will come back, and his interest can't help but be greatly reduced. Seeing that Liu Xie's interest was not high, Zhen Jiang, the daughter of the Zhen family, couldn't help but smile and said: "Wang Gongzi, you are dressed like this today, could it be that my fifth sister didn't make it clear to you last night that we went out of the city today to hunt?" ”

"Huh? Hunt? Liu Xie was reminded by Zhen Jiang that Zhen Jiang was wearing a hunting suit, and the red hunting suit was worn on a young woman, which was quite eye-catching. However, Liu Xie was skeptical about Zhen Jiang's skills. is such a delicate beautiful girl, what prey can she fight? Don't get the prey to be bitten by the prey.

"It seems that Wang Gongzi despises us women a little, so why don't we compare them today? See who ends up with the most prey? ”

“…… Miss Zhen, you really love to laugh. "Liu Xie wants to excuse himself and compete with women? If you win, you are said to have no grace, and if you lose, you are said to be inferior to a woman, this kind of thing that is despised no matter what the result is, Liu Xiecai doesn't want to do it.

"Isn't Wang Gongzi afraid of losing?" Zhen Jiang didn't wait for Liu Xie to finish speaking, and then said excitedly.

Liu Xie glanced at Zhen Jiang with a strange expression when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Miss Zhen, since I can be valued by my uncle and entrusted with important tasks, I will not fall for your such a shallow trick. But since you want to compare, then at least you have to have some color, right? ”

"Oh? I don't know what kind of color head the son wants? Zhen Jiang didn't feel embarrassed at all, and asked with an interested look.

"If I lose...... Liu Xie said and took out a piece of jade pendant on his body, looked at Zhen Jiang and said: "This jade pendant will lose to your Zhen family, if the Zhen family has something to do in the future, you can come to me with this jade pendant, as long as you can help, I will never refuse." ”

“…… Wang Gongzi seems to be very confident, that's good......"

"Don't be busy, I'm not done yet, what if I win?" Liu Xie hurriedly interrupted Zhen Jiang's words.

"What does Prince Wang want?" Zhen Jiang looked at Liu Xie with a smile and said.

"100,000 stone of grain."

"What?" Zhen Jiang was taken aback, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, and when he heard Liu Xie repeat it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Wang Gongzi also said that I love to laugh, and Gongzi is the one who really loves to laugh." ”

"Miss Zhen, do you think I'm joking when you look at my serious eyes?" Liu Xie looked at Zhen Jiang with a serious face and said. Without waiting for Zhen Jiang to answer, Liu Xie said softly: "I know the difficulties of the Zhen family, I dare not offend the court and Yuan Jizhou, Miss Zhen doesn't think that my bet is a relief for the current Zhen family?" ”

It was only at this time that Zhen Jiang really began to face up to the young man in front of him, who was only eleven years old, although the reason he gave was a bit ridiculous, but it was indeed a way to make the Zhen family not offended. It doesn't really matter how big the bet is, the key is to have a reasonable statement. The Zhen family can say as much as they want to the outside world, and no one will really check it, as long as Yuan Jizhou continues to have grain and grass there, presumably Yuan Jizhou, who is clean and self-conscious, will not send someone to check the accounts.

“…… Okay, it's a word, I don't know what else Wang Gongzi wants? Zhen Jiang nodded in agreement with Liu Xie's proposal, and asked again.

"There are few people on my side, and there are many people on Miss Zhen's side, and for the sake of fairness, I need my friend's help."

“…… Yes, then we ...... on our side."

"You can have as many people as you want, and besides, let's not compare how many prey we can hit in the end, it depends on who hits the prey in the end?"

“…… Okay, just do as Wang Gongzi said. Zhen Jiang was angry and funny about Liu Xie's little calculation, but he had to admit that this was indeed a relatively fair comparison.

I heard that there was going to be a competition, but Dian Wei didn't care, before he met Liu Xie, he was hunting in the mountains to support his family, and hunting was a common thing for him. Dian Wei originally wanted to go into the mountain alone, but Liu Xie insisted on going with him, after all, Liu Xie was also one of the contestants, and if Dian Wei was only allowed to enter the mountain alone, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Dian Wei has been walking in the mountains all the year round, and he is naturally familiar with the situation in the mountains, and taking Liu Xie with him is not conducive to his own actions, but seeing Liu Xie's insistence, he can only nod. However, he categorically rejected Zhao Yu's suggestion that he should go with him. It's okay to take care of a Liu Xie, but if you add another Zhao Yu, it will be a little too busy.

Liu Xie also didn't want to take Zhao Yu into the mountain, not to mention the danger in the mountain, it was inconvenient to take Zhao Yu, a little girl, into the mountain, just thinking about what Zhao Yun would become if something happened to Zhao Yu, Liu Xie was a little scared.

"Xiaoyu is obedient, obedient, I will go into the mountains with Brother Dian to hunt, you will stay in the camp for us to watch the prey we hunted, after all, there are few people who come out this time, in case there is no one in the camp, then the people of the Zhen family will secretly take the prey we hunted to them, and we will not know, and we will lose this competition in the end."

"Hmm...... Then you have to come back early. ”

"Don't worry, we'll be back before dark." Liu Xie hurriedly reassured.

Finally settled the little trouble of Zhao Yu, Liu Xie and Dian Wei glanced at each other, changed into a tight clothes suitable for action, and as the people of the Zhen family announced the start of the competition, Liu Xie followed Dian Wei into the mountain. Compared with the Zhen family, Liu Xie's team is much thinner, but a small number of people does not mean that it is not good.

After entering the mountain, Liu Xie and Dian Wei did not stop at the periphery of the mountain, but went straight to the deep mountains and dense forests. The key to determining victory or defeat is to see who catches the best prey, and generally powerful prey is basically hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests, and it is easy not to approach the place where there are human beings.

Dian Wei is worthy of being a good hunter who often hunts in the mountains, and not long after taking Liu Xie into the deep mountains, he found traces left by the nearby beasts. Liu Xie eleven, young and weak, naturally he couldn't help Dian Wei, but Liu Xie was not willing to just be a spectator, the bow and crossbow couldn't be pulled away because of the weakness, Liu Xie brought two short blades with him, as long as the stab was in the right place, it could be fatal.

Dian Wei didn't expect Liu Xie to help at the beginning, after discovering the traces of the beast, he sent Liu Xie to the tree as soon as possible, and then began to set traps nearby, and when everything was done, Dian Wei raised his head and told Liu Xie not to come down for the time being, and after getting Liu Xie's guarantee, he took a single knife to find the whereabouts of the beast.

The double iron halberd is just one of the weapons that Dian Wei is good at, in addition to the double iron halberd, the sword, gun, sword and halberd, Dian Wei can be used to play. To deal with first-class fierce generals, such as Lu Bu, Dian Wei certainly needs to use a double iron halberd to fight, but to deal with the fierce beasts in the mountains, there is no need to use a double iron halberd, and in the deep mountains and dense forests, the double iron halberd is not necessarily better than a single sword.

With years of experience, Dian Wei found a beast of prey that was searching for prey nearby. A newly grown leopard, when it saw the invader who suddenly broke into its territory, the leopard instinctively roared, ready to drive the invader away, or stay for lunch.

Since Dian Wei arranged the trap in advance, there was no plan to fight hard, seeing the main owner of this trip, Dian Wei slowly retreated, little by little to lead the leopard to the place where he had set the trap before, as long as the leopard stepped into the trap, then only the share of being captured alive remained. Liu Xie, who knew this, lay motionless on the thick trunk of the tree, and even his breathing slowed down a lot, lest it arouse the vigilance of the leopard under the tree.

The leopard didn't want to trouble the invader at this time, not that it sensed the danger, but that it felt that the aggressor in front of it was difficult to deal with, but the aggressor seemed to be deliberately provoking it, so angry that it walked towards the trap step by step.

Time is in a hurry, the trap laid by Dian Wei is not perfect, it can be used to catch the leopard alive but it is more than enough, seeing the leopard fall into the trap, Liu Xie, who was hiding in the tree, couldn't help but cheer, but before Liu Xie could speak, he found that in the grass not far from Dian Wei, there was a leopard quietly approaching.

Liu Xie was lying on the tree, and he naturally knew the situation under the tree at a glance, but Dian Wei under the tree was obstructed by his vision, and when he saw the prey caught, his vigilance naturally relaxed. Seeing that the leopard hiding in the grass jumped suddenly and pounced on Dian Wei, Liu Xie didn't care about the warning, so he jumped out and down, and his right hand clenched a short blade.

It deserves the bad luck of this leopard, it jumped up and pounced on Dian Wei, and when its body was in mid-air, Liu Xie also fell without dying. No matter how light Liu Xie is, he doesn't have a hundred catties, and he still has seventy or eighty catties. Falling from the sky, he happened to sit on the back of a leopard in mid-air.

Just listening to the "pop", Liu Xie is fine, but the leopard acting as a cushion is not in a good situation. At that time, all the attention of the leopard was focused on Dian Wei's body, how could he have thought that he would encounter an air attack? There was almost no time to react, and the leopard's spine was broken by Liu Xie's buttocks falling from the sky, and at this time, there was more air in and less air out.

Dian Wei was shocked by what he saw, and he didn't expect that he would be saved by Liu Xie. Although even if he was attacked by the leopard, Dian Wei was sure that he would be able to win the final victory, but then he would definitely be slightly injured. And Liu Xie's affection to rescue him regardless of his own safety, Dian Wei cherished it very much.

If Dian Wei promised to serve Liu Xie before, there was still some indelible affection, but now, Dian Wei is dead set on Liu Xie. It doesn't really matter whether it's useful or not, the key is that the mind, which is worth paying attention to. Dian Wei was able to avenge his friend back then, not because the friend who was killed by the traitor gave Dian Wei much benefit on weekdays, but because the person sincerely regarded Dian Wei as a friend. treats people who are willing to make friends with their hearts, and Dian Wei is naturally willing to show his sincerity.

"Childe, why did you come down?" Dian Wei was moved, but he still had to say what he had to say. If there is a little accident, Dian Wei may feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Huh...... Brother Dian, I'm not fine. Liu Xie smiled, got off the back of the leopard that was killed by his buttocks, glanced at the other leopard hanging in the air by the net, and said to Dian Wei: "Brother Dian, let's solve that one, it's more convenient to carry it." ”

Dian Wei nodded when he heard this, took out a short halberd in his backpack, and threw it at the leopard in mid-air, sending the leopard to meet his brother or a good match.

"Brother Dian, you threw it really accurately." Liu Xie said to Dian Wei with some envy. To tell the truth, Liu Xie also wants to learn martial arts, after all, he was born in troubled times, and it is inevitable to come to the battlefield in the future. And practicing martial arts to strengthen the body should be a dream that every boy has had when he was a child.

It's just that if you want to practice martial arts, you must have a famous teacher to teach, although Dian Wei is excellent in martial arts, but he doesn't seem to be good at teaching others martial arts, think about the son named Dian Man left in history, it seems that martial arts are not very outstanding, maybe this is also a direct reason for Dian Wei's premature death, but Liu Xie doesn't want to take risks.

"If Childe wants to learn, I'll teach you when I go back." Dian Wei said to Liu Xie while cutting the net rope that caught the dead leopard.

"Okay, okay, I'll learn the ability of Brother Dian's hand to throw hidden weapons." Liu Xie nodded and replied quickly when he heard this.

Two leopards, added up is not light, but for Dian Wei, this weight does not seem to be a problem, the two dead leopards on his back followed Liu Xie to the outside of the mountain, and when Liu Xie took Dian Wei to the vicinity of the camp, the people of the Zhen family had already returned, and they were cooking on a fire, seeing Liu Xie appear with Dian Wei, Zhen Jiang obviously seemed to be relieved, but when she saw the prey that Dian Wei carried back, her face couldn't help but change. They worked hard for a long time, that is, they shot some pheasants and hares, but Liu Xie and Dian Wei were just two people, but they brought back two leopards, and these two leopards had almost no injuries on their bodies, and the intact leopard skins were worth a lot of money.

"Ha, Miss Zhen, it seems that I am leading now." Liu Xie said to Zhen Jiang with a smile.

"Prince Wang, it's still early, and the winner hasn't been decided yet." Zhen Jiang replied with a smile.

Liu Xie was noncommittal about Zhen Jiang's hard mouth, shrugged his shoulders and picked up a few pheasants from the Zhen family's prey pile, and asked Zhen Jiang: "Miss Zhen, don't you mind if I take a few for lunch?" ”

"Prince Wang, please feel free."

Zhen Jiang doesn't know what Liu Xie is going to do with the pheasant, the gentleman is far away from cooking, in Zhen Jiang's opinion, it is impossible for Liu Xie to plan to cook food with his own hands, right? But the reality surprised Zhen Jiang again, Liu Xie took Dian Wei to the creek, and quickly plucked the pheasants and dirty them, and Dian Wei also went down to the river to catch two fish by the way.

"Wang Gongzi, what are you going to do here?" Zhen Jiang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Cooking, haven't you seen it?" Liu Xie replied casually while helping Dian Wei make a fire.

“…… Wang Gongzi wants to do it himself? Zhen Jiang asked again with some disbelief, and accentuated his tone on the word personal.

“…… Weird, isn't it? You don't know it's better to make it yourself? Liu Xie looked at Zhen Jiang with some puzzlement and asked.
