Chapter 0011: Xiao Wu
Liu Chan looked at the group of villagers who were gradually disappearing from sight, and thought in his heart.
At this moment, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman ran from the direction of Mianxian County, the woman was dressed in plain clothes, and her big eyes on her pretty tender face were full of aura in the blink of a blink, and she was a cute and well-behaved woman at first glance.
It's just that the woman's face is full of anxiety now, and she can't help but be overjoyed when she sees Liu Chan and the others, and hurriedly asks: "Childe, have you seen my two brothers with a group of villagers passing by here!" ”
Liu Chan sat on the horse and looked the young woman up and down, was silent for a moment, and said honestly: "I did see a group of villagers passing by angrily, but I didn't know if the girl's brother was among them. ”
"It must be them!" The woman blinked her eyes wide, and then asked Liu Chan anxiously, "I wonder how long they have been?" ”
"It's just passed, if the girl chases now, she should be able to catch up."
Liu Chan looked at the anxious woman with a calm face, thinking that it was none of his business after all.
"Thank you, Childe." After the woman saluted Liu Chan, she hurriedly chased forward, muttering anxiously as she walked: "Don't make any trouble!" ”
Looking at the woman who was running in a hurry, Zhang Yingying asked Liu Chan curiously: "Brother Adou, what are these people doing?" And this sister running from behind, should we chase after it? ”
"When you're out and about, it's not too early, so let's find a place to live first!"
Liu Chan glanced at Zhang Yingying, ignored the curious Zhang Yingying, and drove the horse towards Mianxian.
Zhang Yingying, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, heard Liu Chan's answer, and hummed dissatisfiedly: "You are still the son of heaven!" Looking at the menacing appearance of this group of people, there must be something going on, you don't want to stop it, but first think about going to sleep. ”
Zhang Yingying said this, Liu Chan also felt that he couldn't get by, in the past, if he encountered such a situation, he was too late to hide, but now he is the emperor of the Han State, seeing that his people are not farming well at home, but now they are gathering people with great momentum, it seems that they are looking for trouble with others, and they are a little unwilling in their hearts.
"So what do you say?"
Thinking of this, Liu Chan couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yingying, who was full of disdain next to him, and muttered and asked.
Zhang Yingying saw that Liu Chan was soft, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty is the king of a country, the people naturally can't sit idly by when they are in trouble, why don't we catch up now and ask the truth, and then mediate from it?" ”
Liu Chan naturally knew that Zhang Yingying was probably going to see the excitement, but now he was also very curious about what the villagers were going to do, thinking of this, Liu Chan pretended to nod lightly and said, "Well, it should be so, let's chase over and take a look." ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
The eccentric Zhang Yingying saw that her plan succeeded, and couldn't help but play an official tone at Liu Chan obediently.
"When the time comes, you must also act at the opportunity, you must not come nonsense, lest there be any chaos, this is not the palace."
"The concubines are all subject to Your Majesty's arrangement."
Looking at Liu Chan who was snorting coldly, Zhang Yingying hurriedly responded, lest it would be too late to agree, so Liu Chan changed his mind.
Liu Chan looked at Zhang Yingying's well-behaved appearance, nodded and said, "Let's go, let's catch up with the girl in front of us and see if we can help." ”
After Liu Chan finished speaking, he drove his horse after him, and the two hurriedly followed.
Although the woman left in a hurry, she was not as good as Liu Chan and the three of them who were riding horses, and slowly, the woman was reflected in the sight of the three of them just now.
"Girl, girl, wait for us!" Before Liu Chan could speak, Zhang Yingying rode a horse and shouted at the plain-clothed woman in front of her.
The woman in front of her also seemed to realize that someone was shouting at her, and turned around in confusion and blinked her big eyes at Liu Chan and the three of them.
"Are you calling me?" Waiting for Liu Chan and the three of them to come over, the plain-clothed woman looked at Liu Chan and the three of them in a bit of astonishment and asked.
"Yes, yes." Zhang Yingying rushed to respond.
The plain-clothed woman looked at Liu Chan and the three of them even more puzzled, she didn't know each other in the first place, she was not a relative, what were she looking for, I heard my brother say that there were a lot of robberies outside, could it be that they were here to rob, the woman couldn't help but retreat when she thought about it.
Looking at the careful appearance of the woman in front of him, Liu Changan laughed twice and hurriedly saluted. Kindly said, "Don't misunderstand, girl, it's like this, we see that the girl is alone, and it just so happens that we all have horses, maybe we can catch up with your brother and others faster, so we came to help." ”
The woman in plain clothes is also a simple girl, and when she heard Liu Chan's explanation, she suddenly realized, and then looked at Liu Chan that they really didn't look like any wicked people, so she slowly put her mind at ease.
"Thank you for your kindness, it's just ......" The plain-clothed woman looked at the three of them each with a horse, thinking how could she still carry people again, so she looked at the three people in front of her who were riding horses.
"What's so difficult about this, come to my sister and sit with my sister." Zhang Yingying noticed the embarrassment of the woman in front of her, hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and then regardless of the girl's objections, she pulled the woman in front of her onto her horse.
Looking at the enthusiastic Zhang Yingying in front of her, the plain-clothed woman still whispered to Zhang Yingying a little shyly: "Xiao Wu, thank you, sister." ”
"What sister is not a sister, sister Xiao Wu, right?" The grinning Zhang Yingying enthusiastically helped Xiao Wu who was sitting on her horse, and then said, "If you don't dislike it, call me Yingying, hehe." ”
Liu Chan looked at the enthusiastic and generous Zhang Yingying and nodded slightly, and then said to Xiao Wu in front of him; "Little Dance girl, what are your eldest brother and second brother going to do with the villagers in a menacing manner?"
Hearing Liu Chan's question, Zhang Yingying also looked at Xiao Wu next to her curiously.
"Alas!" Xiao Wu sighed lowly, and said helplessly, "There is a shortage of water in the county this year, and many crops have died of drought. ”
Liu Chan frowned slightly, and then replied: "Without further ado, let's catch up with them first." ”
Liu Chan drove away as he spoke, and Zhang Yingying took Xiao Wu and Huang Hao and didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly chased after them.
On the way, Liu Chan learned from Xiao Wu's conversation that the Shen family is a big clan among the Han people in the local Mian County, and Xiao Wu's father is the current patriarch of the Shen family.
Although each prefecture now has its own prefectural ordinance, the people in the prefecture have their own relatives, and if there is a matter such as taxation, the prefectural ordinance must be carried out in consultation and consultation with the patriarchs of the major clans.
Therefore, the patriarchs of the major clans in each county are also characters who must not be offended by the county order, and the common people also obey the orders of the patriarch, after all, the patriarch is the person who really thinks about his people.
This year, there was a big drought in the county, and the people of the Qiang and Han people in the county made a fuss because of the matter of dividing the water, on one side of the Qiang nationality in the county, and on the other hand, the Han nationality of the county, and the county order was like ants on a hot pot, and I don't know how to solve it.
Seeing that the county could not find a concrete solution, the patriarchs of the two tribes, in order not to let their people suffer losses, each sent people to guard the main water route, so that the water would not be taken away by the other party. Back and forth, not only did the people on both sides not get much water, but things also got bigger and bigger, and even fought a lot.
Today is because the men of the Han nationality are sticking to the river, but I didn't expect the young patriarch of the Qiang tribe, Young Master Jiang, to ambush here and hurt several Han people who stuck to the river.
When the Han people saw that the other party was overwhelmed, they hurriedly went back to tell the patriarch, and on the way back, they met Shen Feng, the eldest young master and the second young master of the Shen family, and Shen Yun.
These two young masters originally took their little sister Xiao Wu out to play, but when they heard the clansmen say this with added fuel to the truth of the matter, how could a young man who was already young and strong still be able to stand this kind of anger. Without reporting to his father, he led his clansmen to the river, wanting to find the eldest young master of the Qiang tribe to ask for an "explanation".
Seeing the menacing appearance of the two elder brothers, Xiao Wu knew that this statement was definitely not so easy to say, and in the past few days, the two clans had already sulked in their hearts because of the water grabbing.
She didn't care about the two brothers letting her go home, so she hurriedly chased after her, lest the two clans would fight and add unnecessary trouble, just at this time she ran into Liu Chan and others.
Hearing what Xiao Wu said, Liu Chan asked while driving the horse: "Xiao Wu, if you go over like this, can you persuade your two elder brothers?" ”
"This ......"
Xiao Wu leaned on Yingying's side, looking at Liu Chan hesitantly, and then thinking about what if her brother didn't listen to her when the time came! The more I thought about it, the more worried Xiao Wu became, and her big eyes began to ask with tears: "Brother Liu, when Xiao Wu came, I just thought that the two brothers should not have a conflict with others, and when the time comes, my father will definitely beat the two brothers again, I didn't think that I would listen to me, just now Brother Liu said it, Xiao Wu didn't know what to do." ”
Liu Chan and Zhang Yingying hurriedly comforted Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu calmed down.
Then Liu Chan thought for a moment and pondered: "Do your two brothers listen to your father's words?" ”
"Of course, of course, the two brothers listen to their father's words the most, as long as their father stares, the two of them don't even dare to make a sound." Hearing Liu Chan's words, Xiao Wu replied without thinking with big eyes.
"That's easy!"
Xiao Wu looked at Liu Chan suspiciously, and Liu Chan laughed; "Xiao Wu waited for your eldest brother and second brother to see it, and you said that your father suddenly fell ill, so let the two of them go back quickly."
"Ah......h
Xiao Wu looked at the dignified Liu Chan in front of her in surprise, thinking to herself how such a dignified person could come up with a trick to fake his father.
"Yes, yes, Brother Adou has a lot of methods, Xiao Wu, when you see your two brothers, you just say so, see if they don't hurry back." Hum! Zhang Yingying, who was on the side, heard Liu Chan's idea, narrowed her eyes and hurriedly coaxed.
Although Xiao Wu is still a little reluctant, he can't think of any other way at the moment, plus if he really fights with the other party, he doesn't know how many people will be injured, thinking of this, Xiao Wu responded timidly, and he acquiesced to this suggestion.
It didn't take long for the four of them to ride their horses when they saw a group of people holding hoes and sticks in front of them, it was Xiao Wu's two twin brothers, Shen Feng and Shen Yun, and their own clansmen, who were now scolding and hurrying forward.
"Big brother and second brother, wait!"
Seeing the person in front of him, Xiao Wu sat on the horse and shouted at the person in front of him.
The group in front also seemed to hear Xiao Wu's shout, and they all turned back suspiciously, and at this time, a young man with a wooden stick next to him flattered the two brothers who were walking in front of him: "The eldest young master, the second young master, is Miss Xiao Wu." ”
"I'm blind! Of course I know it's my little dance. One of them, who was still scolding just now, heard the words of the man next to him, snorted coldly, pushed everyone away, ran over to Xiao Wu, and said softly, "Xiao Wu, what are you doing here?" ”
Seeing the second brother Shen Yun running towards him recklessly, Xiao Wu said timidly: "Second brother, Xiao Wu is here to let you go back." ”
Although the two brothers are twin brothers, their tempers are different, the eldest Shen Feng is more calm, and the second Shen Yun is more reckless, but when it comes to today's incident, the calm Shen Feng also becomes anxious. So he and the second child went to the Qiang people to ask for an explanation.
"Go back? Go back to what? Those people hurt our people, the second brother has to find them to theorize, do you really think that we are afraid of them! ”
"Yes, yes, yes. The second young master is right, we are not afraid of them, we have to find them to settle this account. ”
Looking at the angry Shen Yun, all the young people seemed to have a backbone, and they coaxed one by one.
At this time, Xiao Wu was even more anxious, blinking her big red eyes and looking at everyone anxiously.
At this time, Shen Feng also walked over, he didn't speak, but looked at Liu Chan and the three people beside Xiao Wu, and asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Wu, who are these three?" ”
Seeing that the eldest brother Shen Feng was also here, Xiao Wu knew that the eldest brother loved her and the second brother the most, and every time he made a mistake, the eldest brother was scolded by his father, and he knew that as long as the eldest brother was willing to go back, the second brother would also go back with the clansmen.
"This is Brother Liu, this is Sister Yingying, this is Brother Huang Hao, they helped me catch up with you" Xiao Wu hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the eldest brother Shen Feng to introduce Shen Yun, and then looked at Shen Feng anxiously with big eyes and said, "Let's go back, big brother." ”
Liu Chan also stepped forward at this time and saluted and replied calmly: "Liu Xu in the next, this is the wife Yingying in the next, this is the servant Huang Hao in the next, I just saw the brothers on the road, and then I heard the little dance girl say that there was an accident at home, and she wanted to call everyone back, so she came to see the little dance girl a ride." ”
"Xiao Wu, what's going on at home?" As soon as he said that something had happened at home, Shen Feng frowned slightly, and asked Xiao Wu suspiciously.
Xiao Wu was slightly stunned, glanced at Liu Chan, who had a calm face, and stammered in a low voice: "Ah..., it's Daddy's ......, Daddy is sick." ”
"Isn't it okay for us to come out at noon?"
"Yes, but my father fell ill when I got home, so I hurriedly called you and my second brother back." Xiao Wu also seemed to agree with the statement that her father was sick, and blinked her eyes at her eldest brother Shen Feng and replied timidly.
Although Shen Feng had some doubts, it was related to the safety of the old man, so he still believed Xiao Wu's words, and then bowed his hand to Liu Chan and said, "Thank you Brother Ren for your help, I hope Brother Ren can give my little sister another ride." When I got home, the brothers naturally thanked him. ”
Liu Chan hurriedly waved his hand weakly and said, "What is not in the way, what is not in the way, small things and small things." ”
"Second Young Master, that ...... Shall we go to find those Qiang people? The young clansman next to him hurriedly asked Shen Yun, the second young master next to him.
"The old man has a big matter, when the old man is fine, let's settle accounts with them, now go back to see the old man first." As soon as he heard that his father was sick, the second Shen Yun still had the intention of settling accounts with the Qiang people again, so he waved his hand and hurriedly followed the eldest brother and ran home.
"Yes, yes, yes, what the second young master said is right, go, go, look at the old man first! It matters to see the old man first! Everyone should follow the two young masters of the Shen family.
