Chapter 30: The Wind and Rain Are Like Obscure People Like Ghosts (6)
Since Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang took over the world, this Liu clan has blossomed and scattered, and I don't know how many tens of thousands of people. It's just the same clan, is it possible that people with the surname Liu in the whole world can come to Wancheng and cheat and eat and drink under the banner of their younger brother?
Not to mention, this guy hasn't even seen Liu Xuan's face, and he is so swaggering in front of people, what does he really think of himself? Fortunately, I came to Xiaoyue Tower today. If there is such a fuss in other places for a while, where should Liu Xuan's face go?
What's more, he also beat Ren Guang, the most important person under him, into such a appearance...... If this idiot named Liu Ji is allowed to walk out of Xiaoyue Tower sideways today, Liu Ji will not need to mix in Wancheng in the future.
"My brother, huh?"
Seeing Liu Ji nodding stupidly, Liu Ji sneered, stretched his right hand over his shoulder and behind him, and his subordinates had already stuffed a short knife out of the sheath into the palm of his hand.
"Good. It just so happens that I really want to cut off a younger brother for fun today! ”
Looking at Liu Ji's slowly curled lips, a wicked smile on his face, and the short knife in his hand that flashed with cold light, Liu Ji was stunned for a moment.
This...... It's not what I originally envisioned!
Liu Xuan...... Shouldn't he have heard that he was of the same clan as him, and immediately hugged him tightly, and then introduced himself to all his subordinates that he was his siblings, beloved relatives and friends?
Shouldn't it be that when he heard that he came to Wancheng to join him, he was immediately moved to shed two lines of tears, announcing that this Wancheng has half of itself from now on?
Why didn't he follow the routine!!
The cold light flashed, and the short knife in Liu Ji's hand had already slashed towards Liu Ji's throat, so fast that he was caught off guard.
I didn't care about thinking about the other party being Liu Ji who I wanted to defect to, according to the instinctive reaction of fighting in the village for many years, Liu Ji leaned back, and at the same time, his right fist had been swung heavily towards Liu Ji's face.
The fierce sound of this punch breaking through the air whirred through the compartment.
However, Liu Ji's fist did not hit Liu Ji's face. Only halfway through the swing, Liu Ji suddenly felt a numbness at the tip of his elbow, and then a sharp pain between his ribs, and the whole person spun around.
The huge body that was originally sitting on the ground was hit hard, turned over half a circle, and fell on the case in embarrassment. The solid cases were crushed by Liu Ji's weight and the impact of the fall, and scattered into a pile of pieces.
Before Liu Ji could react, his left arm had been pressed against his lower back, and he couldn't move.
And next to his face, a short knife was heavily inserted into the floor and stood in front of Liu Ji's eyes. Through the reflection of the blade, you can just see Liu Xuan's frosty face.
"Ren Guang. This guy has a lot of power, and it's easy to take down him by looking at the joints, unloading the attack, and taking him down. Remember? ”
Liu Jiu turned his head sideways, glanced at the stunned Ren Guang behind him, and said coldly.
I didn't expect that this man named Liu Xuan would be so strong. The strength and skill that he has always been proud of can't go down for a round in front of him, and Liu Ji's mind suddenly became a blank.
Then, he saw the little brother he had just received on the other side, the young man named Zhao Cheng raised his head.
"Brother, even if you really want to cut a younger brother for fun, you shouldn't look for him."
His voice was not loud, but when he heard it in Liu Xuan's ears, it exploded like thunder. The original evil smile suddenly froze on his face.
Liu Xuan slowly turned his head and looked at the young man in the cubicle that he had never looked at before.
"Ah...... Ah Xiu? Why are you here? ”
Zhao Cheng looked at the knife in Liu Xuan's hand with a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "You haven't been back to Chungling for two months, so I'm here to find you!" ”
Liu Ji watched in a daze as Liu Ji's hand let go, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground, then turned around and slapped the back of his newly acquired little brother on the head.
"Who told you to drink downstairs! Dare to ask the girl to accompany you! Don't learn well! ”
Although Liu Xuan's appearance seems fierce, the doting in his voice is so thick that it is about to drip out.
"I didn't call it!" Zhao Cheng pointed to Liu Ji opposite with an innocent face: "He dragged me over, and he also let the girl into the cubicle." I haven't even touched it! Don't believe you, ask them! ”
Zhao Cheng pointed to the girl beside him and motioned for Liu Xuan to ask her. The girl saw Liu Xuan's gaze sweeping, and she had shrunk into a ball, and nodded in a panic.
"Lord...... Master......? Ren Guang behind him looked at Liu Jiu inexplicably, and asked cautiously.
Liu Jiu slowly twisted his head back, looking at the expression on Ren Guang's face that was almost collapsed, and showed a wry smile to his subordinates for the first time:
"Really...... My brother ......"
……
Looking at the strange reversal of the opposite compartment, Li Tong's face showed a smile of interest.
Watching Liu Jiu leave with the two of them, the compartment opposite became empty again, and the two girls beside him finally stopped trembling and put a professional smile on their faces again.
"Look, I'll just say, it'll be fine." Li Tong kissed each of the two girls between their ears and temples: "Come, help me pour the bar!" ”
Drinking the wine glass brought by a girl's slender hand, Li Tong slowly closed his eyes. And the fingers hidden in his sleeves were secretly pinching rapidly.
It was a long time before he opened his eyes, and a strange light flowed through them.
In the calculation just now, he actually saw the two brothers with phoenix wings fluttering around them.
"Sure enough, it's the air of heaven...... Father, what you said to me, I finally ...... Believed. ”
Looking at the confused eyes of the two girls, Li Tong shook his head with a smile, grabbed one and aimed it at the red lips, and kissed it deeply.
Li Tong had a dissolute smile on his face, and he was playing with the girl beside him in his arms, but in his heart, the words that his father Li Shou had said to him repeatedly sounded.
"The Liu family is prosperous, and the Li family is supplemented."
……
Since his younger brother is here, and he is here with the strong man who doesn't know his mind, Liu Xuan naturally can't do it anymore, so he has to find a quiet place and ask things clearly first.
With his younger brother and the idiot named Liu Ji, Liu Ji walked upstairs again. The previous room was already covered with blood at the moment, and it had not been cleaned yet, so Liu Xuan could only ask people to rearrange an empty room.
"Hey, Zhao Cheng, are you really Liu Xuan's younger brother?" While following Liu Ji up the stairs, Liu Ji stretched out his hand, gently poked Zhao Cheng's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "But...... You don't have the surname Liu, how can you be brothers with Liu Xuan? ”
"If you don't want to die, talk less. My brother really kills people without blinking. Zhao Cheng frowned and glanced at Liu Ji lightly.
"Zhao Cheng? What a ghost name. Liu Xuan snorted coldly, pushed open a door and walked in, and sat on the soft cushion on the ground next to the low table, leaning against the wall.
"Brother...... Didn't you tell me before, don't give your real name outside. Zhao Cheng pulled Liu Ji to sit down and smiled at him: "My name is not Zhao Cheng." My real name is Liu Xiu, the word Uncle Wen. ”
"You only know this guy?" Liu Ji leaned against the wall, and pointed his finger at Liu Ji from afar: "If you didn't open your mouth just now, he would have turned into a corpse now." ”
"There's no need, brother...... He's just stupid, not bad. Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and told how he met Liu Ji at the door.
"I didn't expect him to smell the food and actually enter Xiaoyue Tower. And ......" Liu Xiu touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "Every time you brought me here before, you led me upstairs directly into your room." I'm curious...... What does it look like to drink below...... That's why I didn't tell him...... I'm also responsible for this, so brother, don't blame Liu Ji. ”
"Hmph." Liu Xuan snorted coldly: "Have you ever met you, this guy has to come to make trouble, right?" ”
Liu Ji shrank his head. He had already been taught a lesson just now, and now in front of Liu Xuan, he naturally didn't dare to be reckless.
"Forget it. He seems to really admire you. Liu Xiu smiled: "You just ...... It's good to take him as a subordinate, and he's really capable of fighting anyway. ”
Liu Ji looked at Liu Ji, who took the opportunity to nod again and again, sighed, and was noncommittal.
"Okay, Ah Xiu, what are you doing today to find your brother?" Liu Xiu looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "Shouldn't you study hard in Chungling?" ”
"Who made you not come home to see me for two months, I don't know about such an important thing! I've ...... You don't have to read with the second uncle in Chungling! Liu Xiu smiled: "In this year's inspection of the imperial court, I was selected, so I can go to Chang'an next year and study in Taixue!" ”
"Go...... Changan? ”
Liu Xuan was stunned: "Inspection...... There is also Taixue...... What are those? ”
Liu Xiu sighed helplessly, but his eyes were full of excitement: "Brother...... You don't even know that? The so-called inspection is that the county recommends suitable children to Taixue. After entering Taixue, the teachers there are much more powerful than the second uncle, and there is also a test every year in Taixue. If the results of the test are good, you may even be selected as an official! By that time...... I don't have to nest in the small countryside of Chung Ling anymore...... And ......"
Liu Xiu looked at Liu Xiu's mouth and kept talking, but he lost his mind in his heart.
Brother...... Going to Chang'an?
In other words, he must be with his brother...... Separated?
"Ah Xiu ......"
Liu Xiu suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Liu Xiu's words.
"Huh?" Liu Xiu looked at her brother in a daze.
"Do you really want to go to Chang'an?" Liu Xuan said softly.
"Of course I want to go!" Liu Xiu exclaimed exaggeratedly: "I worked so hard that I was selected to go to Chang'an to study Taixue!" Such a great opportunity, how could you give it up! ”
"How long are you going?"
"Taixue...... It seems like five years......" Liu Xiu lowered his head and thought for a while: "However, maybe within five years, I will be selected in the examination and released as an official!" ”
"You ......" Liu Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But after a while, he shook his head again: "Forget it, if you want to go, then go." ”
"Oh......" Although I don't know why Liu Xiu seems to be a little sullen, Liu Xiu was still affected by that emotion, and only nodded.
"However, when I went to Chang'an, don't use the name Liu Xiu anymore. You just call ......" Liu Xiu thought for a while, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Ji who was still sitting next to Liu Xiu stupidly.
"You're still called ...... Zhao Cheng. Liu Xuan sighed: "Also, what kind of strategy is that...... Don't behave too well. Officials of the imperial court, it is inconvenient for you to do. ”
"It's ...... Why? Liu Xiu asked suspiciously.
"Don't ask so much. Just do it. Liu Xuan frowned and waved his hand indiscriminately.
"Oh, it's ......," Liu Xiu nodded obediently. Since his brother didn't want to explain, he just did it.
"But ......" Liu Xiu suddenly thought of something again, and said with a bitter face: "Brother, the inspection of the imperial court, of course, is according to my name. When I arrived in Chang'an, if I changed my name to Zhao Cheng, how could I get into Taixue? ”
"Then ......" Liu Xuan thought of this section and frowned.
