Changan

Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, is receiving special guidance from Tong Yuan. When he returned to Chang'an two months ago, Liu Xie immediately accepted a wave of re-education from Xun Yu and Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and a group of old people that Liu Xie could not provoke. Especially Lu Zhi, according to historical records, this old guy will die soon after Dong Zhuo is killed, but now because of Liu Xie, his body is getting harder and harder, and his voice is very loud.

Fortunately, Liu Xie was smart and did not argue with these old guys with his neck, but chose to bow his head and admit his mistakes. In this way, the old guys can only stop fighting.

Regarding Liu Xie's decision to practice martial arts, Xun Yu and others originally disagreed. As the Son of Heaven, it is enough to practice martial arts and strengthen your body, why do you need to study specifically, it is better to read two more books if you have that kung fu. can think about Liu Xie's restless temperament, whether it is to practice martial arts, at least a little more self-protection ability. And if Liu Xie wants to practice martial arts, he can only stay in Chang'an, and he can also make the officials feel at ease.

This practice is two months, Liu Xie is peaceful, except for practicing martial arts and reading every day, he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, but Xun Yu doesn't dare to be careless. In order to prevent Liu Xie from running away again without a sound, Xun Yu found Zhao Yu and Zhen Mi, girls who are usually familiar with Liu Xie, and asked them to look at Liu Xie.

Zhao Yu is Zhao Yun's younger sister, Tong Yuan and his wife only have one son under their knees, and now they are not around, so they love Zhao Yu even more. Tong Yuan neither objected nor agreed to Zhao Yu's request that he also wanted to practice martial arts, nor did he object to Zhao Yu watching from the sidelines when he was teaching Liu Xie.

Zhao Yun taught Zhiyue Lu before, and later got Wang Yue's guidance, and Liu Xie's basic skills were still relatively solid. And Liu Xie has always been very interested in practicing martial arts, and he never slacks off every day, and when Tong Yuan teaches Liu Xie's martial arts, he can skip the basic skills directly, and just continue to insist.

There is no need to work the boring basic skills, of course, it is a good thing for Liu Xie, and Liu Xie also remembered all the moves of the Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear taught by Tong Yuan, and what is lacking now is repeated practice. Zhao Yu was originally an observer, but later, it was Tong Yuan who pointed her out more than Liu Xie.

On this day, Liu Xie came to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, accompanied by Sima Fang. Liu Xie didn't come to visit the prison because he was bored, but came here to exercise his courage.

Practice makes perfect, Liu Xie has never killed anyone, although he has been on the battlefield and witnessed the scene of flesh and blood, but no one really died in the hands of Liu Xie. No matter how well you practice martial arts, if you haven't killed anyone, it's just a show. Liu Xie is not a pervert and takes pleasure in killing, but Liu Xie doesn't want to practice by himself and become a showman in the end. The purpose of his martial arts training is to stop being a burden to others when he goes out in the future, but if he doesn't even have the courage to kill, he will still be a burden after all.

Since the imperial court killed Dong Zhuo, there are not many people who can be put on death row, but it is not nothing. There is no shortage of bad people in this world, especially those who have committed the most heinous crimes.

Sima Fang knew the purpose of Liu Xie's coming here, and also supported Liu Xie's decision. Compared with Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, who respected Confucianism, Sima Fang was more practical. Now that it is a troubled time, the Han family needs an emperor who is both civil and military, and there are few emperors who have not killed anyone.

Three prisoners were brought out of death row, one of whom killed his biological parents, one who forced his family to die with money, and one who was a human trafficker. The first two also accepted their fate, and only the third shouted and shouted that he was wronged. It's a pity that the person standing in front of him is not a bystander, but Liu Xie.

For Liu Xie, the crimes committed by some people are not strictly serious, but the consequences are extremely serious. It's like human trafficking, the profit is not more than tens of thousands, but it is two families who are victimized. So when dealing with human traffickers, Liu Xie's attitude is one word, kill. Catch it and kill it, without asking.

Naturally, there is no need to publicize the matter of killing people and training courage, Liu Xie is not interested in showing off to others that he killed a few more today, from the first time he killed and had a nightmare to now thinking about how to kill with one blow, this is just a process of psychological maturity, and the more people are killed, the hand with the knife will be stable, in fact, it is not a matter of fact.

"Holy Lord, what are the arrangements for today?" Sima Fang asked Liu Xie when he accompanied Liu Xie out of the prison.

"Huh? Is there anything to do with the business? ”

"A little private matter, if there is time in the saint."

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, this matter is not a big deal, it's just ......" Before Sima Fang finished speaking, he saw someone running over in a hurry, and after saluting Sima Fang, he hurriedly said: "My lord, Xun Situ ordered the villain to come to find the saint, saying that there is an urgent matter that requires the saint to return to the palace immediately." ”

"Huh? …… Then the saint will go back to the palace first, and the minister's affairs are not in a hurry. ”

Seeing that Sima Fang refused to say anything more, Liu Xie didn't ask, and hurriedly left Jingzhao Mansion with the people who came and returned to the palace Situ's office. As soon as Liu Xie entered the door, he saw that in addition to Xun Yu, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and other important ministers of the court had already arrived.

"Wen Ruo, what's wrong?" Liu Xie frowned and asked.

"My lord, I just received news that Xiqiang Cheriji led his troops into Zhangye County, and his intentions are unknown."

"Huh? Cherrigi? The court didn't provoke him, what did he do when he jumped out at this time? What did Wenhe in Liangzhou say? ”

Xun Yu took out a letter and handed it to Liu Xie, Liu Xie tore open the letter and looked at it, then handed it to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu read it and handed it to Cai Yong. Taking advantage of the time for everyone to read the letter, Liu Xie's mind was flying, Jia Xu's letter had already mentioned his own response, and at the same time reminded the court to be prepared.

More hated than the invaders are the traitors. Seeing that everyone had already read the letter, Liu Xie asked in a deep voice: "Ministers, what do you think about this matter?" Speak it all out and listen to it. ”

"Shengshang, what Wen He said is just speculation, and there is no real evidence, so the old minister thinks that it is not appropriate to act too much, but he can secretly order someone to investigate." Cai Yong said when he heard this.

"Bo Jiao's words are reasonable, Liangzhou was initially decided, Han Sui and Ma Teng did not trust the imperial court very much, if it was too obvious, it would be easy for people to panic." Lu Zhi nodded in agreement.

"At this time, Wen He has Zhao Yun and Pang De by his side, and Cherry Ji doesn't have to worry too much, the key is to figure out Han Sui and Ma Teng's attitude towards this matter as soon as possible." Xun Yu also spoke.

"Well, what does Wen Ruo think of the method Wen He proposed?" Liu Xie nodded and asked.

"This ...... The army is easy to send, who can be in charge? ”

"What's there to think about, far away, close at hand."

“…… Lord, this is not child's play. ”

"Wen Ruo, if you want to test the minds of Han Sui and Ma Teng, is there a more suitable candidate than me? You can rest assured, there is a large army on the side, and my safety is not an issue. Liu Xie said with a smile.

“…… Well, the lord can't stop him if he wants to go to the minister, but the lord has to make a contract with the minister in three chapters, otherwise the minister won't agree to anything. Seeing that Liu Xie was very interested in going, Xun Yu, who knew Liu Xie's actions, no longer persuaded him, and instead asked Liu Xie to make conditions.

"Okay, let's hear it first."

"One, the lord is only here for rescue, and he should not take risks lightly."

"Okay, I'll stay in the army obediently."

"Second, the lord is going to take Wang Yue and Tong Yuan with him."

"Huh? He's getting older......"

"If the lord refuses, then don't go, let the minister pretend to be the lord...... Not? Xun Yu suddenly stopped talking when he said this, as if he had just reacted, yes, why didn't he think of it before? You don't have to let Liu Xie take the risk in person, just find a stand-in.

"Wen Ruo, do you dare to say that you will find a substitute to go on my behalf, believe it or not, I will secretly follow?" Liu Xie didn't wait for Xun Yu to open his mouth and threatened first.

Xun Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "My lord, the minister is thinking about your safety." ”

"But once people see through it, it will also chill the soldiers. There is no need to mention this matter, I will bring Wang Yue and Tong Yuan. Is there a third condition? Liu Xie didn't want to discuss this matter with Xun Yu, so he asked directly about the third condition.

"This third condition, wait for the lord to come back."

"Huh? Still with bookkeeping? Cheng, if you don't say it now, I won't admit it then. ”

"Lord, I don't take you like this."

"That's not like you."

"Okay, since the lord has to know, the minister will tell the truth, lord, you are not young, and it is time to think about lifelong events."

“…… Wen Ruo, I thank you for your concern, but I don't have that mind at the moment, wait a few years. A black line appeared on Liu Xie's forehead, Xun Yu cared about himself, of course Liu Xie was happy, but he was only sixteen this year. Yes, the people who got married this year are all relatively early, but Liu Xie doesn't want to get married too early. Minors, starting married life too early affects health, not to mention, Liu Xie doesn't want to become a grandfather in his thirties.

"When will the lord wait? The country can't be without a king for a day, and the lord has no heirs now, in case of an accident, how about the lord let me wait? ”

"Then you can't force Liang to become a prostitute."

"What is this called, lord?" Xun Yu said annoyedly.

"Wen Ruo, I know you care about me, but you also have to think about reality, don't you know that it is dangerous for a woman to give birth prematurely? I'm sixteen, and the woman I marry can't be older than me, right? Even if she is the same age as me, the body of a sixteen-year-old woman has not fully grown, and giving birth to a child is a ghost gate. Wait a few more years, so that when I am twenty, if you don't let me marry a daughter-in-law, I will marry too. ”

"Lord, who are you listening to?" Xun Yu heard about this kind of thing for the first time, and couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Wen Ruo, I'm not looking for excuses, I'm saying a fact."

"But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, in case the lord ......"

"Wen Ruo, can't you expect me to be better? It's not holding back to let me have an accident. Liu Xie's face was blank, and he glared at Xun Yu unhappily and asked. It's just that Xun Yu is also used to it, and he didn't take Liu Xie's stare seriously at all, frowned and looked at Liu Xie and said, "Okay, since the lord has no intention of marrying for the time being, the minister will not care about this matter for the time being." ”

Seeing that Xun Yu didn't mention this matter, Liu Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and others on the side couldn't help but laugh secretly when they saw it, and they couldn't help but laugh at what Liu Xie said, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and others didn't take it seriously, but they just thought that Liu Xie was shy, so they refused.

However, after this "controversy", Liu Xie felt a little unbearable. Seeing that there was not much to worry about on his own, he made an excuse to leave. However, as soon as the front foot left, Liu Xie sneaked back with the back foot, hiding under the window and eavesdropping on the conversation of Xun Yu and others.

"Wen Ruo, why did you suddenly think of worrying about the marriage of the Holy One?" Cai Yong's voice reached Liu Xie's ears.

"Alas~ It's not that the lord himself rejected Yuan Shao's proposal for the Zhen family, saying that the marriages of the five daughters of the Zhen family were all set by the imperial court. I thought that the Holy One was beginning to be interested in the affairs of men and women, and that's why I had this idea. ”

"I heard that the five daughters of the Zhen family are all beautiful, but the saint shouldn't want to marry five in one go, right?" This is Lu Zhi's voice.

"The heirs of the lord are thin, and it is convenient to marry a few more."

Liu Xie didn't listen anymore, feeling that the more these people talked, the more they talked, the more they talked, and they were worried that they would be unable to help but beat people up if they heard too much. However, Xun Yu's words reminded Liu Xie that he helped the Zhen family reject Yuan Shao's proposal, but he couldn't let the Zhen family smash all five daughters in their hands. After the Zhen family separated, Mrs. Zhen took her room to Chang'an to start a new stove, and she didn't go to see it for a while.

Liu Xie didn't need to worry about the preparation of the army, and Liu Xie, who had nothing to do for the time being, went to Zhen's house to hear Mrs. Zhen's arrangements for her daughters. Anyway, it is impossible for Liu Xie to marry five daughters in one go. The Zhen family is willing, but Liu Xie is still unwilling.

……

When he arrived at Zhen's house, he didn't need to be reported by others, so Liu Xie directly entered Zhen's house. It's not one or two times, the porter recognizes Liu Xie.

Not long after Liu Xie entered the door, he met Zhen Jiang head-on, and saw Zhen Jiang with his head down, walking out vigorously, and didn't seem to see Liu Xie coming.

"Hi~ Miss Zhen, where are you going?" Liu Xie greeted. Zhen Jiang raised his head when he heard this, and when he looked up, Liu Xie found that Zhen Jiang's face was red, and when he saw Liu Xie, he was like a thief, and he turned around and ran away without saying a word. Liu Xie looked left and right in surprise, he had no problem. What's going on?

Mrs. Zhen also got a return from the family at this time, and came out to greet Liu Xie, just in time to see her eldest daughter turn around and run back to her embroidery building.

"The old woman visits the Holy One."

"Mrs. Zhen is exempt, Miss Zhen, what's wrong?" Liu Xie asked with concern.

Mrs. Zhen just wanted to answer, but suddenly her heart moved, and she snorted coldly: "Hmph, this daughter is older and assertive, and she knows that she is disobedient." ”

Liu Xie listened in the clouds and fog, and he didn't know why. Puzzled, he looked at Mrs. Zhen and asked, "Mrs. Zhen, I heard this confusedly, Miss Zhen is very powerful, the Zhen family can have today's scene, thanks to Miss Zhen, why are you complaining about Miss Zhen?" ”

"Holy Lord, please wait for tea in the old woman's living room, and let the old woman speak slowly."

"Ah, okay, Mrs. Zhen, please."

In the living room, the guests and hosts sat down, Liu Xie listened for a long time before he understood, and after he arrived in Chang'an, Mrs. Zhen began to think about the marriage of her eldest daughter Zhen Jiang, but as soon as she mentioned it, Zhen Jiang bowed her head and didn't speak, she ran away if she said too much, so angry that Mrs. Zhen wanted to beat people.

"Men should get married, and women should get married. The old woman is also reluctant to let her daughter get married, but she is not young, and it is not a matter of delaying it any longer. Mrs. Zhen complained to Liu Xie with a depressed expression.

"Well, well, Mrs. Zhen is right, this is Miss Zhen's. However, Miss Zhen disagrees, could it be that she already has a sweetheart? ”

The old woman also asked, but the damn girl just wouldn't say. But listening to the maid next to this girl, it seems to be related to General Zhao next to the saint. ”

"Huh? Zilong? Wouldn't that wood know the opening of the mind? Not...... Not to mention, the more you think about it, the more likely it becomes. Liu Xie stopped talking as he spoke, peeked at Mrs. Zhen, and found that Mrs. Zhen was also peeking at him. Liu Xie now has the bottom in his heart, I am afraid that this Mrs. Zhen has made it clear that it is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong who have an "adulterous relationship" with her daughter, but she was unlucky and took the initiative to send it to the door to save his business.

Speaking of which, Zhen Jiang, this girl is indeed worthy of Zhao Yun regardless of her appearance and conduct. Zhao Yu is usually very close to Zhen Jiang because of Zhen Mi's relationship, and it is not bad to match Zhao Yun and Zhen Jiang.

"Mrs. Zhen, what the maid said can't be done after all, and I still need Miss Zhen to admit it herself, so that I can help."

"Holy Mingjian, the old woman also knows this truth, but the key is that the dead girl refuses to speak."

"Hmm...... That's a real problem. Mrs. Zhen, it's better to be like this, let's find a way to test her. ”

"How to tempt?" Mrs. Zhen was waiting for this sentence and hurriedly asked.

……

"Miss, happy event is coming." Zhen Jiang's maid Chunxiang ran in with a happy face, and when she saw Zhen Jiang, she reported the good news.

"Chunxiang, what happy event makes you happy like this?" Seeing this, Zhen Jiang asked curiously.

"Miss, the saint has come up."

"It's not once or twice that the saint has come to the Zhen family, and it's not the first time you've seen you, as for being happy like this?"

"Miss, the Holy One is here to propose relatives."

"Huh? Propose? Who does the Holy One plan to marry? Fifth sister? ”

"No, no, the Holy Lord is here to propose to General Zhao this time."

"Huh? Which General Zhao is it? Zhen Jiang was immediately ashamed and happy when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"It's General Zhao Yun and General Zhao in the court."

"Really, really?"

"Really, the saint came up to propose to the second lady for General Zhao."

“…… What did you say? Say it again! Zhen Jiang was originally ashamed and happy in his heart, but when he suddenly heard what Chunxiang said later, he was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't care about the girl's reserve, and grabbed the maid's neck and asked.

"Great, Miss." Haruka was startled, and looked at the eldest lady who was completely different from her usual speech.

"Come on, Liu Xie, that guy is here to propose marriage to Zhao Yun's bastard?"

"Yes, I proposed to the second lady."

“…… Did you hear it right? ”

"If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, you can ask yourself."

When Zhen Jiang heard this, he left Chunxiang and rushed to the living room, and the little girl was so frightened that she patted her chest. It's too scary, and next time I won't help the saint deceive my own lady.
