Chapter 44: Men Should Do Something (4)
"Who's going to kill you? Why did I kill you? Even if you are a former dynasty clan, you will not be killed inexplicably! What the hell is going on! Liu Xuan, who was sitting on the side, didn't expect to hear such a thing from his younger brother's mouth at all. After Liu Xiu returned to Nanyang, he never mentioned it to him. Before Liu Liang could ask, he had already pinched his younger brother's shoulders and asked nervously.
"On my way back to Nanyang from Chang'an, I ...... Met a strange old man......"
Liu Xiu told his uncle and brother in detail what he experienced when he left Chang'an from beginning to end. When he recalled that in that bazaar, the man in black rode his horse from the snowy night and cut off the head of the horse with a sword, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.
"I don't know who those two people I met in the liquor store...... I also didn't give out my real name. But I can be sure that the person they want to kill is me. Liu Xiu took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at Liu Liang in front of him: "That old man, he never reported his identity from beginning to end, but at least I know that the young man next to him is the family of Dasikong Wangyi." ”
"The Great Sikong...... Wang Yi? Liu Xuan's eyes widened: "You were in Wancheng yesterday, why didn't you tell me?" Ah Xiu! ”
"Because I don't know what to say to you...... Because I'm afraid you'll be worried" Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The sword of the man in black is so fast that I can't even see his sword drawing, and Ma Duan's head has already been cut off......"
Liu Xuan nodded. He knew that his brother was not a man of his own words. Although he didn't believe that there was anyone better than himself in this world, there was no doubt that the man in black was a fierce rival.
"Ah Xiu, do you think they will still come to hunt you down? But you have already left Chang'an, and the name you reported to them is also a pseudonym, I don't think it may be ......" Liu Liang thought for a long time and said slowly.
"No, uncle." Liu Xuan thought for a while and shook his head: "No matter why the other party wants to kill Ah Xiu, but since they know that Ah Xiu's pseudonym is Zhao Cheng and the identity of Ah Xiu's student, they will definitely be able to find out Ah Xiu's true identity." ”
"Why?" Liu Liang was puzzled: "I remember you told me that you asked people to change Ah Xiu's case in Taixue." ”
"Because although I asked people to change the case, the only thing that can be changed is the roster that Ah Xiu registered when he went to Taixue. The roster of Taixue has already been registered, but it can't be changed. Liu Xuan sighed: "Among the two rosters, only Ah Xiu's name does not match. No one can check it, but as a big sikong, as long as you have the heart to investigate, you will never let go of this omission. ”
"I ...... I see. ”
Liu Liang was silent for a long time, sighed long, and when he raised his head again, he looked at Liu Xiu with some helplessness in his eyes.
"Allow me...... Think about it. ”
"Yes, uncle." Liu Xiu nodded and stood up: "My brother and I are waiting for you outside." ”
Liu Xiu pulled Liu Xiu out of the door, gently closed the door, and sat side by side on the threshold.
In the night sky, the moonlight was shining in front of the two of them, illuminating the earth in a silvery white. The two of them quietly lowered their heads, looked at the frost-like moonlight on the ground in front of them, and did not say a word.
"Brother, everything I can say has been said. The rest can only depend on the uncle's choice. But ......" was silent for a long time, Liu Xiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Xiu beside him: "No matter what his final decision is, I will definitely ...... Follow you. ”
"Follow? I don't need you to follow. Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly: "As long as you can help me convince my uncle, that's enough." It is my own business to seize the world. Remember what I said? I will be Liu Bang, you only need to be Liu Xi. ”
"But...... I don't want to be protected by my brother all the time. Liu Xiu shook his head, his face firm: "If you have been under your wing and sheltered to live, it will indeed be very easy." But...... I don't want to be a burden and a burden to you all the time. I want to ......"
Liu Xiu suddenly stood up from the threshold, opened his arms, and hugged the evening breeze in front of him: "I want to do something for you, and even one day, I can ...... Protect you, brother! ”
"Fool...... How could I need your protection? ”
With a disdainful smile on his face, Liu Xiu twitched the back of Liu Xiu's head. However, his tone, as before, was full of tenderness.
And those eyes that are always domineering and awe-inspiring, also flashed with a little crystal light for the first time.
Behind him, the door that had fallen into disrepair creaked.
Inside the open door, Liu Liang stopped behind the two. However, neither Liu Xiu nor Liu Xiu looked back. The three of them only held this position quietly, and they could even hear each other's breathing.
Finally, Liu Liang spoke softly: "If this is the only way to protect Ah Xiu...... That's all I have to do. ”
It was only at this time that Liu Xuan stood up and turned to look at his uncle
That old face was mixed with pain and determination after struggle.
"Thank you, uncle."
Liu Jiu hugged the old man in front of him heavily and whispered in his ear.
