Chapter 13: Late Arrival and Snow (2)
Chungling Township is located in Nanyang County, not too far from Wancheng, the seat of governance in Nanyang. Even in the entire Jingzhou, Wancheng is a first-class big city and a prosperous place. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and there are naturally a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of religions and nine streams.
But in just three months, the name Liu Xuan made a name for himself in Wancheng.
Everyone in Wancheng knows that there is a kid named Liu Xuan, who is not only good, but also ruthless.
And today, three years later, Liu Xuan has established his own reputation in Wancheng, and has become the most outstanding young figure among the rangers in Wancheng, and his momentum is even gradually enough to keep pace with Du Yong in the west city and Zhang Feng in the east city, the two largest forces in Wancheng.
But Liu Xuan did not take root in Wancheng, but lived in Chungling, his uncle's house most of the time. Not for anything else, but because my brother is still here.
It's just that Liu Xuan didn't expect that they would be so shameless that they went to the countryside of Chungling and found their uncle's house.
But...... There are only seven or eight people, how can Liu Xuan take it to heart? With the skills you just saw, even if the number of people is doubled, there is no need to worry at all.
The only thing he was still hesitating about was killing people here, would he get his uncle into trouble......
"Bosheng, stop! They are not ......" It was only at this time that Liu Liang reacted, hurriedly stood up, trembled his fingers, and pointed at Liu Liang.
The middle-aged man sitting opposite Liu Liang waved his hand, his expression was calm, he looked Liu Liang up and down, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Good skills." ”
Liu Xuan looked at the middle-aged man's appearance, frowned slightly, thought in his heart for a moment, and slowly let go of his hand, but the dagger was still in his hand.
The man who had been robbed of the dagger was gently pushed in the chest by Liu Jiu, and slammed backwards against the wall, clutching the position above his arm that had just been pinched, and the muscles on his face were still twisted by pain.
A few bruised finger prints had been deeply imprinted on his wrists.
"Looks like they didn't come to me." Liu Xuan looked at his uncle, then at the middle-aged man, nodded, his wrist shook slightly, and the dagger had disappeared in his hand: "Then you can talk slowly." I went to sleep. ”
After speaking, Liu Xuan turned around loudly and walked towards the wing room where he and his younger brother lived.
"Stay less!"
The voice of the middle-aged man came from behind him: "Since we are destined to meet, why not talk about it?" ”
"Not interested."
Liu Xuan coldly dropped a sentence and closed the door behind him.
Watching Liu Liang walk out, the middle-aged man opposite Liu Liang did not have any anger at all because of his rudeness, but bowed slightly to Liu Liang: "After all, it is a confidential matter, and my subordinates are too vigilant." Thankfully, it didn't hurt him. I'm so sorry. ”
"It's okay...... It's okay......" Liu Liang hurriedly shook his head, with an apology on his face: "This is my brother's child, named Liu Xuan, the word Bosheng." I didn't expect this kid Bosheng to come back tonight, and I forgot to tell you. On the contrary, I hurt Hou Ye's two subordinates, I should be embarrassed. ”
It was only at this time that the man who was kicked away by Liu Xuan slowly got up from the ground, covered his lower abdomen and knelt in front of the middle-aged man known as Hou Ye: "My subordinates are not protecting well, so I ask Hou Ye for guilt." ”
"Don't mind." The Hou Ye smiled and shook his head: "That young man's skills are indeed outstanding." It's not your fault. Anyway, it's not a bad guy, so there is no need to mention it. ”
After appeasing his subordinates, Hou Ye turned his head to Liu Liang and said sincerely: "Second uncle, you really don't think about my proposal anymore?" ”
Liu Liang smiled bitterly: "Wang Mang's power is all over the world, and it is really a blessing for my clan that the Marquis of An Zhonghou can decide to raise troops and resist at this time." I, Liu Liang, naturally admired. But the Chungling branch is really sparsely populated, so I'm afraid it won't be able to help much. Besides, I'm just a cloth cloth now, and I am soft-spoken, how can I be worthy of a visit by An Zhonghou at night? ”
"Why should the second uncle be too humble?" An Zhonghou shook his head and said with a smile: "The area around Chungling has been a major branch of my clan since the founding of Gaozu. What's more, the second uncle was raised as filial piety during the reign of Emperor Ping, and he served as the county commander of Xiao County. The word "soft-spoken" is too humble. ”
Liu Liang only smiled bitterly and shook his head, and stopped talking.
"Second uncle, since the end of last year, after the death of the first emperor, Wang Mang helped his children and babies to succeed, but he only gave the title of a crown prince, and he was a false emperor. Such wolf ambitions can be seen by anyone in the world who is not blind. Not to mention, you know...... He has already announced to the world at this moment, why did he change the yuan? ”
"Living in the countryside in the lower body, it's only February at the moment, and the matter of changing the yuan in the court can't be spread so quickly." Liu Liang stroked the short beard under his chin and shook his head gently: "So, what is the new year name?" ”
"Residence! Absorb! ”
An Zhonghou's face was pale, he stared at Liu Liang deadly, and spit out two words from his mouth.
Even though Liu Liang's face had been flat before, he still couldn't help but feel a slight shock when he heard An Zhonghou's New Year name.
"Ju Shi...... Ju Shi ......" Liu Liang muttered these two words softly, and his face couldn't help but be filled with bitterness and horror: "It seems that he has really made up his mind to usurp the throne." ”
"Exactly." An Zhonghou nodded solemnly: "Second uncle, can you really sit back and watch my Liu family's world fall into the hands of his Wang family?" If this is the case, after you and I die, what face will you have to face Emperor Taizu Gao under Jiuquan? ”
"But ......" Liu Liang wanted to speak and stopped, but finally just let out a long sigh and shook his head: "Let's wait and see what happens for a while." Maybe Wang Mang ...... It's just that he wants to be Zhou Gong Yiyin, not Zhibo Tianhe, and I don't know. ”
An Zhonghou looked at Liu Liang for a moment, for a long time, and finally let out a long breath, his expression was gloomy: "It seems that the second uncle has made up his mind, so I won't say more." ”
After saying that, An Zhonghou stood up and bowed to Liu Liangchang: "Since this is the case, I will leave here." But no matter what the second uncle plans, after a month, I will raise troops in Anzhong and attack Wancheng. If it succeeds, we can only hope that then...... The second uncle can read on the same lineage of the clan, echoing in Chungling. ”
"I ...... You can't promise anything to An Zhonghou. Liu Liang smiled abruptly: "I can only ...... I wish Hou Ye success. ”
An Zhonghou nodded, led the guards out of the door, looked up at the night sky for a long time, and sighed faintly.
"Master Hou, do you want to ...... just in case?"
A guard next to him leaned into An Zhonghou's ear and whispered, while pouting at Liu Liang's room. It was the person who was kicked away by Liu Xuan.
"Nonsense!" An Zhonghou glared at the guard fiercely, and lowered his voice: "Liu Cibo is a loyal elder, even if he is unwilling to help, he will never do such a betrayal of his friends to seek glory!" Besides, how many of you can beat that young man? ”
Speaking of this, An Zhonghou looked at the room that Liu Xuan had just walked into, thought for a while, and walked forward.
