"Master."

Outside the door, there was a soft knock, followed by a subordinate's respectful voice: "There is a guest who asks to see you." ”

"What a bullshit guest! Missing! Let him! If you talk nonsense, you will break your leg and get out! Liu Xuanzheng's suppressed displeasure finally found a place to release him, and shouted at the door.

"Yes." The subordinate was still startled through the door, and hurriedly retreated. But after a while, there was a soft knock on the door again.

"Master......" The subordinate said with embarrassment: "The guest said that he would not leave unless he saw you." He also said...... Let me give you a word. If you still don't want to see him after hearing this, then he will break his legs and leave on his own......"

"Then let him interrupt himself!" Liu Xuan just shouted impatiently, but his heart suddenly moved: "You...... And so on. What is his sentence? ”

"Yes. The guest asked me to say to the host, 'Chang'an Xing, you must be anonymous, only for auspiciousness.' It's a problem, and I can help. ’”

After Liu Xuan listened, his eyebrows gradually twisted together, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, he strode to the door, opened the door heavily, looked at the subordinates in front of him who lowered their heads, and said in a deep voice: "Bring him up." ”

……

Li Tong sat in the room, looking up and down the furnishings with a leisurely expression, and let out exclamations from time to time.

Before Li Tong was brought up, Liu Ji had already been taken out of the room, and only Liu Ji and Liu Xiu were the only two brothers in the room. Liu Xiu sat honestly on the side, curiously glancing up and down at this handsome young man who was about the same age as himself.

Liu Xuan, on the other hand, leaned against the wall, playing with a short knife in his hand. A knife flew up and down in the palm of his hand, but it did not cut the palm of his hand at all, as if it had life. And in his eyes, the color kept flashing.

"Tell me first, who are you?" Liu Xuan's eyes, which were sharper than the short knife in his hand, were staring at the guest who was brought up in front of him.

Before this person came up, Liu Xuan had already asked his subordinates to report all the information after his appearance to himself.

This person is coming to Xiaoyue Tower for the first time today. He was very generous, and although he only came alone, he asked two young girls to accompany him, and the wine and dishes he asked for should be the best.

His compartment was opposite the compartment of Fang Cai Liu Ji and Liu Xiu. At the first start of the fight, he asked the girl who accompanied him to open the compartment screen and see the end from the beginning. It wasn't until Liu Jiu came down and took the two of them away that he closed the screen again and never left the compartment.

It was not long before he asked a girl in his compartment to send a message to the owner of the Xiaoyue Tower. And—he also clearly knew that the owner of this place was named Liu Xuan.

In this Wancheng, there are many people who know Xiaoyuelou, and there are naturally even more people who know Liu Xuan. But there are not many people who know that the owner of this Xiaoyue Tower is Liu Xuan.

In particular, it is clear that Liu Xiu only told Liu Xiu just now that he was selected by the inspection and was going to Chang'an to study in Taixue. And Liu Xuan's intention to let him go to Chang'an under a false name was a matter of moments ago.

How could a person who had been in the cubicle all the time know so clearly and say what he could help?!

Liu Xuan's short knife swirled in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on his throat instead of the eyes of the young man in front of him.

Once his answer was not satisfactory to Liu Xuan, then the next moment, this short knife would appear at his throat.

"In Xia Li Tong, the word dimension, is a native of this Wancheng. My father, Li Shou, thought that Brother Liu should have heard of it. Li Tong withdrew his gaze from looking around, and looked at Liu Xuan with a sincere smile in his eyes.

Liu Xuan frowned. Li Shou is the largest wealthy merchant in the city, and is good at astronomical almanacs and prediction of auspicious diagrams, I heard that not long ago, he was recruited by the imperial court as a master of Zongqing, and went to Chang'an. But this son of Li Shou's family has never heard of it himself.

As if seeing what Liu Xuan was thinking, Li Tong smiled and said: "Before Xia, he also worked for the imperial court, first as a general of Wuwei, and later as a county governor of Wuxian, and he has not been in Wancheng for many years. Now this is just resigned and returned to his hometown, so Brother Liu has never heard of it before, and it is normal. ”

"Why did you resign?" When Liu Xuan heard that Li Tong had served as an official of the new dynasty, a wave of doubt appeared on his face.

"Yulu is not high, and he is not short of money in the next family, why bother to work hard for Wang Mang's guy?" Li Tong squeezed his eyes and smiled: "But that's not the point, the point is ......"

Li Tong's originally loose sitting posture suddenly became upright, put his hands on his knees in front of him, and said solemnly: "Because I don't want to be buried for Wang Mang." ”

"Funeral?" Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be a smile on his face: "As a court official, slandering the Son of Heaven, do you know that this is a capital crime?" ”

"That'...... Brother Liu will be sent to the county office! Li Tong smiled and spread his hands: "If Brother Liu thinks that it is necessary to do this to show loyalty to the imperial court." ”

"Go on. Why do you know that my brother is going to Chang'an? Liu Xuan snorted coldly, noncommittal, and let go of the topic just now.

"Since Brother Liu has heard of his father's name, he should naturally know that he is good at numbers. And it's not just below......" Li Tong smiled and put his palms upwards on the few cases in front of him: "In some aspects, it happens to be a little bit more powerful than my father." ”

Liu Xuan looked at his hands, and the corners of his mouth drooped: "I don't believe it, you can calculate so accurately." ”

"My father calculates the general trend of the world, and no one in the world can match it, and naturally it is far beyond the bottom. But in the next strength, he is good at calculating small things, and whether it is time or distance, the closer he gets, the more accurate he is. Li Tong withdrew his hands with a smile and put them in his sleeves: "There is no evidence, I'm just afraid that Brother Liu won't believe it, so it's better to let me demonstrate it now." ”

Liu Xuan watched coldly as Li Tong folded his sleeves, closed his eyes, and had a mysterious smile on his face, and he couldn't help but start to be suspicious in his heart.

"Well......" After a while, Li Tong parted his sleeves, opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed at the short knife in Liu Xuan's hand that was still moving up and down: "Brother Liu, be careful of hurting your hands." ”

"Nonsense!" Liu Xuan sneered. If Li Tong was something else, he might still be a little skeptical. But...... Hurt your hands?

This is simply a ridiculous joke.

Even if his eyes are closed, or even when he is asleep, Liu Jiu dares to believe that the knife he holds in his hand will not hurt himself.

"So...... We'll see. Li Tong stretched out his hand from his sleeve again and pressed it on the table.

"If you're wrong, I'm afraid one of your hands will say goodbye to you forever." Liu Xuan straightened his upper body slightly, looking at Li Tong with a threatening look in his eyes.

"It's okay with two." Li Tong smiled, his hand on the table was still steady, and there was no hint of flinching.

There was a slight buzz, and a fly slowly drifted into the room from the window.

Liu Xuan frowned, glanced at the fly unhappily, and the short knife that was spinning endlessly in his hand suddenly flew out like lightning and shot towards the fly.

Since Li Tong dares to question his level of knife playing, let him see it with his own eyes.

The short knife shot out with a sound of breaking through the air, pointing directly at the flies. In Liu Xuan's expectation, the next moment, the fly would be nailed to the wall by the tip of the knife.

However, to Liu Xuan's surprise, the fly was just a dexterous flash, and then it flashed the flying short knife, and instead circled an arc in the air and flew towards Liu Xuan. The dagger lost its target and slammed itself into the wall of the room with a thud.

Still in surprise, the fly had flown in front of him in an instant.

Liu Xuan was displeased, and waved his hand to drive the fly away. However, the moment his right hand was waved, his brow suddenly twisted.

But the hand that was waved out was too late to be withdrawn.

Along with a tingling pain on the back of his hand, Liu Jiu also discovered at the same time that it was not a fly, but a bee.

The bee staggered out of the window, but on the back of Liu Xuan's hand, there was already a tail thorn that had pierced into the flesh.

Liu Jiu lowered his head, stared at the back of his hand, and then gently stretched out two fingers to clamp the tail spines from the back of his hand. However, a redness, swelling and stinging pain have been left behind.

My hand was really injured. Even though it was just a trivial sting, it was a wound after all.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Zhuo raised his head and looked at Li Tong in front of him, who still had a smile on his face.

"Brother Liu, the so-called injury is not necessarily a knife wound."

Li Tong's hand was still flat on the table. Fair and slender, the nails are neatly trimmed like trees in a nursery.

"You ......" Liu Xuan was silent for a moment and nodded lightly: "Okay, you won." ”

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Li Tong sat on the ground and didn't move, his upper body bowed forward slightly, and said softly: "So, is Brother Liu willing to believe now?" ”

"Two questions."

Liu Xuan thought about it and nodded. His voice was flat and steady: "First, how are you going to help me." Second, why are you helping me. ”

"The first question is very simple." Li Tong smiled: "My father was recently recruited by the imperial court and served as the master of the sect. It is not difficult to make some simple changes within the list of Taixue. As for the second question......"

Li Tong had been wearing a faint smile on his face, but at this time he suddenly became extremely dignified and serious.

"My father, like Zaixia, thinks that Wang Mang's new dynasty will not last long. Not long ago, my father had a big divination, and the result of the divination was - Liu's was prosperous, and Li's was supplemented. And the person of the Liu family where the Mandate of Heaven is located is in Nanyang County. ”

Li Tong raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xuan: "However, who this person is, it is the mandate of heaven, and it is difficult to calculate." So he returned to Wancheng and waited for the man who carried the mandate of heaven to appear, while his father still stayed in the court, which was a situation of fighting each other. ”

"And now...... Under the belief that this man has been found. ”

After speaking, Li Tong leaned down deeply, and bowed his head to Liu Xuan after a few cases.

Liu Xuan listened to Li Tong's words silently, did not speak, just leaned against the wall quietly, looking at him calmly.

"So, you're going to be...... Someone to assist me? Just because of the results of divination? After a long time, Liu Xuan said softly.

"Yes." Li Tong raised his head, still with a solemn expression: "I believe in my father and in myself." And more importantly, we believe that there is a being called 'Destiny' in this world. All we should do is to comply. ”

"So, forging an identity for Ah Xiu and letting him go to Chang'an to study in Taixue is an exchange for your clan to become my subordinates?" Liu Xuan asked.

Li Tong shook his head: "No, there is no exchange in this. Whatever we can do for you, the Li family, has nothing to do with the final result. I just hope that Brother Liu can see our sincerity. ”

Liu Xiu didn't answer immediately, stood up, walked to Liu Xiu, who had been sitting on the side and didn't speak, and squatted down to look at him.

"Ah Xiu, tell me, do you believe what he said, the destiny is in my brother? Seriously, answer me. ”

Liu Xiu raised her face, looked at her brother's face seriously, and then nodded heavily:

"Yes, I believe. Whether anyone says that or not, I believe that my brother is a man with a destiny on his back. ”

"Good!"

Liu Xuan's eyes that were staring deeply closed slightly, and when he opened them again, he already had an awe-inspiring domineering aura. He stood up and turned to look at Li Tong.

"Well, let's get it together...... This world! ”

Liu Xuan stretched out his hand and slowly clenched it into a ball in the void in front of him.
