Chapter 530: The Tiger and the Fox
When Liu Buxian returned home, he was not invited to the banquet of King Huainan, but he was used to it, and he didn't feel anything wrong. I poured myself a glass of wine, poured it into it with my neck tilted, and the warm wine flowed down my throat, and my whole body was extremely comfortable.
"Jian'er, can you tell your father, why do you think Su Ren can help our father and son wash away their shame?"
Liu Jian had a bitter face, when he was there for Su Ren, his father stopped his words several times, and he felt very unhappy. If you follow Liu Jian's meaning, you should make it clear in person, anyway, their father and son have no place in Huainan Kingdom, so it's a big deal to follow Su Ren to Chang'an. Three hundred gold is already a lot, at least it should be enough to buy the lives of their father and son.
"Father, Su Ren is the emperor's confidant, and he has made great contributions in Lingnan, as long as he returns to Chang'an and ranks as Jiuqing, it is not strange, as long as Su Ren agrees to help, even if he can't wash away the shame of our father and son, if something happens to my grandfather, you and my father and son will not be implicated!"
"Smack!" Liu Bu harmlessly pestled the wine bottle to several cases: "Bastard! How can you say that about your grandfather? ”
Liu Jian sneered: "Heh, I treat him as a grandfather, does he treat me as a grandson?" If it weren't for my father's surname Liu, I wouldn't want to have the surname Liu. ”
"Talking nonsense, go back to the room and think about it, when you figure it out and when you come out!"
"The child understands very well, our father and son are an outlier in Huainan Kingdom, and no one looks down on them, you wait, one day I will make the entire Huainan Kingdom regret it!" After Liu Jian finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, leaving Liu Bu to sit in the lobby angrily.
When he was dragged by his son to Su Ren, Liu Buxi knew Liu Jian's purpose. In fact, he also wanted to see what kind of person Su Ren was, but as soon as he met and found that he was only a young man in his early twenties, Liu Buxian's heart was half cold. Even if Su Ren is as powerful as rumored, Liu Buxin doesn't believe how much help Su Ren can provide to their father and son, in case it doesn't work out, Su Ren pats his ass and leaves, and their father and son have nowhere to go.
Sighing, Liu closed his eyes in pain. The price of resistance is very large, when he was as old as his son Liu Jian, he also rebelled against his fate with all his blood, what is the result? Just look at his current awkward position. Although he is Liu An's eldest son, not only can he not inherit the throne, but even the imperial court selects the princes of various counties and states every year to be marquis, and he does not have a share of Liu Buxian. Now in his forties, he is still called Childe, which sounds so awkward.
"Uncle Gui, do you think what Jian'er said is feasible?" Liu Buxian drank and asked the old servant standing next to him without looking back.
"Hey!" Gui Bo sighed: "What else does Gongzi have besides this mansion now?" Even if the little son's method doesn't work, the big deal will be that there will be no place to live, but once he succeeds, the son may be the next king of Huainan, and he has nothing to lose but has a rich return, why doesn't the son give it a go? ”
Uncle Gui is the old man around Liu Buxian, he watched Liu Buharm grow up, no matter whether Liu Buharm is in good times or bad for so many years, Gui Bo has always followed. After Liu Buxian's mother starved to death, it was Gui Bo who secretly collected the corpse for him, so as not to storm the corpse wilderness.
"You're in favor?"
Gui Bo smiled faintly: "Childe should know about Little Childe, will he listen to what you just said?" ”
"Hehehe, this is also true, since this is the case, let him toss!"
Liu Jian came out of the house with an angry face, turned over and galloped on the street, making the walking people and the street vendors on both sides jump. Liu Jian's riding skills are very good, and no one was injured in such a place. From the door of his house, he began to rush out of Shouchun City in one breath, causing the people to curse one after another. But everyone knows who Liu Jian is, and the scolding only stays at his parents.
Shouchun is located in the Huai River and Yingshui where the Yingshui meets, there are big rivers blocking the northeast and west sides, only the south is a horse flat river. Although the southern side is relatively flat, it is not completely dryland. Jianghuai this place from ancient times to the present does not exist absolute drought, three miles of a river, five miles of a river, you can see small streams everywhere, a pickaxe down there is a spring is not strange.
Liu Jian ran all the way to the Xiaoqing River before he stopped, panting, and whipped the big tree by the river, and the whip slightly splashed the debris of the bark of the palm. Liu Jian wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound, and the stuffy breath was uncomfortable in his chest.
"Ah......h The cry was loud and powerful, as if it was about to exhale the depression in his chest.
"Who provoked the little boy and made the little boy so angry?" Han Qing stood not far behind Liu Jian, and looked at Liu Jian quietly with his hands in his hands.
Liu Jian turned around: "It turned out to be Mr. Wei, why did you come here too?" ”
Han Qing smiled: "My husband instructed, if the little boy goes out of the city, let me come over and have a look, just saw the little boy flying like a horse, and chased after him, and he was tired of sweating before catching up, the little boy's riding skills are exquisite, let me chase after it, if I run three or five miles, I can't go back." ”
"Mr. Sue?"
Han Qing nodded slightly: "Exactly, Mr. let me tell the little boy that as long as the little boy can trust Mr., everything will be easy to do." ”
Liu Jian suddenly felt that there was a light between heaven and earth, the sky was blue, the water was clear, and even the trunk of the tree that had just been whipped by him became beautiful: "What does Mr. Su need me to do?" ”
Han Qing took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Liu Jian: "Mr. said that if the little boy goes out of the city and comes to the river, he will give this bag to him, and when he goes back, he will open it and understand it." ”
Liu Jian hurriedly stopped the action of opening the bag to find out, respectfully saluted Han Qing, and gently put the bag into his arms: "Remember, please rest assured Mr. Su, this matter will never be known to outsiders." ”
Su Ren has a good intention to be so mysterious, since everyone regards him as a master, then he must have the posture of a master, and mystery must not be missing. In the Huainan King's mouth, all the Huainan King's disciples were speechless. Give Liu Jian another tip, this is the practice of the masters, there is a nice name called trickery.
Huainan Wang Haowen, Wen and wine are naturally a pair, and the wine in the palace is naturally a long time. The wine of the Han Dynasty has a characteristic, the better the wine, the lighter the taste, the wine of Huainan Wangfu tastes similar to the mash of later generations, and the sweetness is stronger than the wine. The reason why Su Ren pretended to be drunk was to show Liu An, since he was so knowledgeable, it was normal to be wild at all. If he drinks less, or even doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, it will make Liu An vigilant.
I drank a stomach and didn't eat much food. When I came back, I shouted that I was hungry. Eating the dough cake and meat, this is Su Ren's favorite food, the hot dough is sandwiched with the freshly steamed marinated meat, and he eats a mouthful full of fragrance: "Mr. Han can give my tips to Liu Jian?" ”
Han Qing nodded: "Liu Jian was scolded by Liu Bu at home, and he went out of the city in a negative mood, so I handed over the tips to Liu Jian, and by the way, told Liu Jian that Mr. knew that he would go out of the city, and he must wait for him to go out of the city before he could teach the tips." ”
"Haha...... Mr. Han is an expert in trickery, so Liu Jian probably treats me as a god."
"Mr. is talented, even if he is regarded as an immortal, it is not an exaggeration."
"Eat your bread and meat!"
Han Qing also sat opposite Su Ren with a dough cake and meat to eat Zhengxiang, who would have thought that he was such a cautious person before, but now he tastes similar to a rough man.
Hou Yong had already finished eating three, and he turned his head to take it again, but found that Huang Shisan had the last one in his hand. So, the yard became lively, the wild cow is the ancestor of grabbing things, grabbed Huang Shisan's hand, took a bite first, and said with a smile: "I have eaten it all, do you two still want it?" ”
Huang Shisan and Hou Yong glanced at each other: "Yes!" ”
Su Ren ate three, Han Qing ate two, and while drinking tea, he watched the three old coarse people toss in the yard.
"What's in the bag that Mr. gave to Liu Jian?"
Su Ren said: "You didn't see it? ”
Han Qing shook his head: "Since it was given to Liu Jian by Mr., it's not good to peek at it." ”
Su Ren sighed and said: "You are really not a good secret agent, I am now worried about whether you will bring Tiangang and Earth into the ditch, as a secret agent, the curiosity you should have is actually more important than your so-called etiquette." ”
Han Qing frowned and said he didn't understand. Su Ren really didn't want to tell Han Qing about the legends of spies and agents in the future, so he patted Han Qing on the shoulder: "Let's talk about it later!" In fact, there is nothing in it, just one word, broken, what can be seen depends on Liu Jian's understanding, as long as Liu Jian moves, we can fish in troubled waters. ”
"Broken?"
"Yes, it is broken, broken jars are broken, broken and then standed, not broken and not standing, etc. Su Ren took a sip of tea and continued: "In my opinion, Liu Jian is estimated to be reckless, so I have to remind him when necessary, and this task will be handed over to you." ”
Han Qing arched his hand: "Oh! What if Liu Jian chooses to break the jar? ”
"Will he?"
Han Qing smiled: "Liu doesn't hurt you, Liu Jian is young and vigorous, and he can't help it!" But Liu Jian is only a ten-year-old child, and he is still a junior, even if he takes a risk, I am afraid he will not be able to make any waves. ”
Su Ren shook his head: "That's not necessarily, now Liu Jian's backstage is us, our backstage is the imperial court, as long as the news of our joining forces with Liu Buxi to do business comes out tomorrow, Liu Jian's father and son can't help them even if they don't want to move, and it's very cost-effective to buy a chance for three hundred gold." ”
Han Qing laughed: "Mr. just said that it reminds me of an article, there is an allusion about tigers and foxes in the Warring States Policy, which is appropriate here, but I don't know if we are tigers or foxes?" ”
"It's supposed to be a fox, just look at my shrewd look." Su Ren narrowed his eyes and made a fox expression: "The tiger is the court and His Majesty, we are the foxes, but this fox is not for self-preservation, but it is scary, the rabbit has been bullied for so many years, and finally found the fox as a backer, and he will also fight hard." ”
"I'm afraid that after the rabbit disturbs the forest, he himself will not be able to escape the fate of being eaten."
"Hehehe!" Su Ren smiled: "In Mr. Han's eyes, I'm just a black-hearted profiteer, can't I?" ”
