Liu Yi slowly drank a little wine in the inn, thinking to himself that if the two women failed to steal out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then they would have to sneak in and take them away. At that time, it may be a little troublesome, but there shouldn't be too much trouble, after all, Cao Hua, a girl, knows some martial arts and can go by herself. If the two girls don't know martial arts, Liu Yi wants to take the two girls away at the same time, so I'm afraid it's really troublesome.

Well, I'm afraid it's not just trouble, maybe I really can't take the two girls away at the same time.

Fortunately, at most, he only had to carry Cao Jie on his back, and Cao Hua could leave with him, which made Liu Yi feel that it should be possible.

Time passed slowly, and Liu Yi was a little impatient to wait, because as soon as the time passed, the Xun family's birthday banquet was afraid that it would be dispersed, and at that time, it would be a little difficult for him to mix into the Xun Mansion with his two daughters, and it would be difficult to see the head of the Xun family.

Of course, if the time passes, Liu Yi can sneak directly into the Xun Mansion, but if he sneaks into the Xun Mansion like that, when he sees the head of the Xun family, he is afraid that it will not be easy to talk.

I went to visit him openly, giving people an impression of being above board, and giving the head of the Xun family a choice to help himself or not. If he sneaks in at night, he will give the head of the Xun family a sense of coercion to help him, so that even if the head of the Xun family thinks about his Xun family children, he hides his whereabouts for himself and covers up for himself and the Cao sisters, but the heart of the head of the Xun family will be a little uncomfortable, saying that he can't, and in the future, he will bring some bad words to the children of the Xun family who are officials in the New Han Dynasty, and he will have a disagreement with himself.

In addition, Leo Yi was in the inn. Drinking for too long can also make people suspicious. Liu Yi planned to finish drinking. I went to the street first, waiting for the two girls.

At this moment, the kid who should have been in the army with Cao Hua suddenly walked to Liu Yi's desk and whispered, "Childe, please come with the little one." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yi's heart suddenly changed, he didn't take the initiative to ask the people in this store, and he didn't plan to say anything more to them, but they took the initiative to find him?

Liu Yi's heart was very vigilant. Glancing up at the boy, he was glaring at the side door.

Liu Yi followed his gaze, but saw a head poking out of the side door of the store hall, making a grimace at Liu Yi.

When Liu Yi saw it, he was suddenly surprised in his heart, even if the woman was dressed as a man, Liu Yi still recognized it as Cao Hua at a glance.

Unexpectedly, they came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance.

Liu Yi's heart was overjoyed, and he arched his hand to this shopkeeper. Expressing his gratitude, he took out a handful of money prepared by the phoenix fairy from his bosom, stuffed it into the boy's hand, and then walked to the side door. Walked in.

In the eyes of outsiders, it looks more like Liu Yi is checking out and has opened a room in the inn. And it didn't go unnoticed. It's a natural look.

With a feeling of surprise, Leo Yi walked in.

Cao Hua pulled Liu Yi. I went straight to the backyard of the inn and entered a house.

"Brother Lewi's ......"

Cao Jie threw himself into Liu Yi's arms.

"Good. Great, I thought you wouldn't be able to get out of the Prime Minister's Mansion by yourself. Yes, we also know how to dress up and dress up as tomboys, so that it is more convenient for us to follow the action. Liu Yi glanced at Cao Jie and Cao Hua, and praised the wit of the two women, so that they would not be too eye-catching when they followed them to Xunfu, and people would not see who they were at a glance. You know, Cao Cao may also be in Xunfu at this moment.

"Brother Liu Yi, what should I do next? Are we going to go out of town now? If we want to get out of the city, we have to go out of the city quickly, before my father has ordered the whole city to be blocked, or we won't be able to get out of the city. Cao Jie thought more long-term than Cao Hua, she knew that if she brought her sister out together, the family would probably soon find out that they were missing, and the whole city would look for them immediately. So, she was a little anxious at the moment.

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements, even if we can't get out of the city, it shouldn't have much to do with it. Getting out of town right away won't work. I've thought about it, outside the city, it's your father's army, and if we leave the city, as soon as your father's army and horses start a pursuit, we won't be able to leave. ”

"Oh, we'll all listen to Brother Lewy." When Cao Jie heard this, he was a little more reassured.

"But, Brother Liu Yi, what should she do?" Cao Jie thought of Cao Xian, and stretched out his hand and pointed to the bed in the room.

"She? Who is she? Liu Yi was inexplicable, when he came into the room, he had noticed a woman lying on the bed in the room, but Liu Yi thought it was a family member of the store, so he was embarrassed to ask casually.

"She is our eldest sister Cao Xian."

"What? She is your eldest sister Cao Xian? How did she end up here? What's wrong with her? Liu Yi was shocked and didn't understand why Cao Xian was here.

Cao Hua's somewhat innocent stall hand explained to Liu Yi: "People left home with Sister Jie'er from the secret passage, I don't know why, the eldest sister actually came, as if she wanted to stop us." At that time, outside the secret passage, there were guards from our house. If we don't stop the eldest sister from talking in time, we are afraid that we will be discovered, and no one will be able to leave home. So, I had to knock her out, she was our eldest sister after all, we can't leave her in the secret passage, right? If something happens, people's hearts are not at ease, so they don't stop doing it and carry her out together. ”

"Forehead ......" Liu Yi was speechless and rolled his eyes, this, originally Liu Yi wanted to get Cao Jie to get it, but it turned out to buy one get one free, even Cao Hua, the girl, and now, there is another Cao Xian, what does this mean? Of course, Liu Yi is not thinking about what to do to Cao Xian, a woman, but thinking that with one more Cao Xian, I am afraid that the matter of escaping from Xu Du will increase a lot of difficulties.

"Leave her here and let her wake up and go home on her own?" Leo Yi said with a little difficulty.

"No way!" Cao Hua directly denied: "Leaving the eldest sister here will bring ruin to this store, at most." Just throw her out into the street......"

"Nonsense! How messy is it out there? If the eldest sister has a mistake of something, how can you tell us to be worthy of our conscience? Cao Jie objected.

Fact. Throw Cao Xian casually on the street, this is also okay. After all, on the street outside, there are many Cao soldiers patrolling back and forth, and when they see Cao Jie, they will definitely send him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, it can't be regarded as too safe, what if those Cao soldiers don't recognize it? Pingbai checked a big beauty, who knows what will happen?

"What then? Otherwise, just take her with you. Cao Hua didn't seem to have a good idea.

Levi was about to make an opinion. The kid from the shop suddenly rushed out in a little panic, and said anxiously to Liu Yi, Cao Hua and others: "No, it's not good, you guys go quickly, the Prime Minister's Mansion has sent a lot of military horses to search for it." You stay here ......."

"So fast?" When Liu Yi heard this, he knew that he couldn't stay here anymore, so he immediately said to Cao Jie and Cao Hua: "Forget it, take her with you first, it's too close to the Prime Minister's Mansion." We won't be able to stay long, and if we don't leave, let the soldiers set up roadblocks to search one by one, and none of us will be able to leave. ”

"That's right. She also changed into men's clothes. Liu Yi pointed to Cao Xian on the bed.

Liu Yi pulled the shopkeeper out of the house, and Cao Jie and Cao Hua hurriedly changed into men's clothes for Cao Xian, who was still asleep, and put her hair. Like a man, he bandaged it with a white cloth.

is still letting Cao Hua carry Cao Xian on his back. Liu Yi and the others walked out into the street from the back door of the inn.

Sure enough, the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion acted quickly. I'm about to find their store.

The pedestrians on the street were also dispersed by Cao Bing at this moment, fearing that the people on the street would soon be driven away, and the street would soon be deserted.

Liu Yi did not hesitate, took the two daughters, identified the direction, and hurried to Xunfu.

Inside and outside the Xun Mansion, the voices of people are boiling, and the guests are like clouds.

Originally, the Xun family was not suitable for a birthday banquet at this time, after all, Cao Cao's new defeat was not long after he returned to Xudu, and now, Cao Cao was also in a hurry, and all aspects felt uncomfortable. The Xun family sang and laughed and held a festive birthday banquet, which was a bit of a jealousy of Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao has lost a series of battles, and now, the entire Xu Capital is a little lifeless, as if there is a gloomy cloud, the morale of the army is low, and the people are disappointed in the court. When the time comes, it will be self-defeating, and there will be no need to mention the confrontation with the New Han Dynasty at all.

Therefore, Cao Cao learned that this day was the birthday of the head of the Xun family, and he also gave a special explanation, with the Xun family, it must be a big deal, and it must be grand and solemn, so that the whole city will be known to the whole city, so that the people of the whole city can be happy and happy, and wash away the decadence of the dynasty.

It is precisely in this way that the Xun family will hold such a grand birthday banquet, and almost all the people of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as all the wealthy families in Xudu City, and all the people with heads and faces have been invited.

In Xunfu, although Cao Cao is the most important guest, it is a bit anti-guest-oriented.

After congratulating the birthday star, Cao Cao advocated his political proposition to the guests who came to congratulate the head of the Xun family, depicted the blueprint for the future of the imperial court, deliberately downplayed the current defeat with the New Han Dynasty, and looked like he was in the chest, it seemed that he would not worry about a full-scale attack by the New Han Dynasty at all, and he was ashamed to say that Liu Yi had died, and the New Han Dynasty would not be angry after all.

However, after listening to Cao Cao's words, many wealthy people in Xudu also believed a little, and felt that the new Han Dynasty without Liu Yi was indeed not a threat to the imperial court, and deeply agreed with Cao Cao's words.

In this way, there were bursts of praise from the whiskers and horses, which also made the birthday banquet more lively.

At this time, Liu Yi had already taken his three daughters and came to the gate of the Xun family.

Because there was an unconscious Cao Xian, this made Liu Yi dare not take them into the Xun Mansion together. I had to let the two girls wait at a street corner outside, and then wait for him to enter the Xun Mansion and meet with the head of the Xun family. If the Xun family is willing to provide shelter for themselves, then let the three girls come in, if the Xun family is unwilling to provide shelter for themselves, then forget it. Anyway, Liu Yi felt that it was a big deal to take the three girls back to Qingwan Building, pretend to be a turtle prince, and let the three girls pretend to be young ladies, I believe that they can avoid Cao Bing's search. It's just that Cao Xian's woman is a little troublesome, if she is unwilling to cooperate, then it will be a bad thing.

Therefore, Liu Yi was bound to meet the head of the Xun family. See what his attitude is.

Lewi casually knocked out a guy with a gift and snatched his gift. Shi Shiran walked towards Xunfu.

Cao Cao was in the middle of the hall, talking to the guests who had come to pay homage to the head of the Xun family. But suddenly a soldier ran and said something in Cao Cao's ear. When Cao Cao heard this, his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly said goodbye to the head of the Xun family, confessed to the guests, and left the Xun Mansion in a hurry.

It may be that Cao Cao was too anxious, and when he went out, he happened to meet Liu Yi.

Liu Yi naturally saw Cao Cao and deliberately turned away. Didn't let him see it head-on.

The shoulders of the two touched each other, but Cao Cao didn't pay attention for a while, didn't look back, just snorted, and left.

In fact, Cao Cao glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and felt that this person's figure was a little familiar, but he didn't pay much attention to it for a while.

Well, the three daughters of the family who are ready to be sent to the palace. All of them were gone, and they were lost, which made Cao Cao's heart very anxious. This is not because he is not in a hurry, and he wants to marry his third daughter to the emperor. Now, the entire court knows that he wants to open the way for his three daughters. In the past few days, they have been charged with various crimes. arrested all the women around Emperor Xian, and killed them. Those who went to the prison were put into the prison, and the individual ones were taken back to their own gold houses, and now, by the side of Emperor Xian, there is no longer a concubine.

Since he has already said it, he wants to give his daughter to Emperor Xian to fill the gap that there is no woman around Emperor Xian. However, this is about to send the daughter to the palace, but it happened that his three daughters are gone, how can Cao Cao not be in a hurry?

If the time comes, but there is no daughter to give to the emperor, then he Cao Cao will definitely be ridiculed by the people of the world, and even may cause the dissatisfaction of many court officials in the court, which is also a blow to Cao Cao's prestige.

Therefore, in a hurry, he and Liu Yi, who was bent on putting him to death, reached by, and missed a good opportunity to deal with Liu Yi in vain.

In Liu Yi's heart, he was a little talkative, and he didn't panic at all. After all, Liu Yi's internal strength has now recovered, and he is confident that even if his identity is exposed, he will not be caught by Cao Cao's people. It's a big deal, just ignore Cao Jie and Cao Hua's two daughters, and then talk about it when you run away, and then bring Wang Yue, Shi A and other senior brothers, bring your own generals, and rob Cao Jie and Cao Hua.

What's more, if Cao Cao recognized Liu Yi face-to-face, Liu Yi wouldn't mind holding Cao Cao hostage again as he did when he saved Lu Bu in Baimen Tower.

It may be that Cao Cao's hurried departure made the people in Xun Mansion a little stunned, and many guests were also a little surprised, and they didn't know what happened for a while, which could make Cao Cao's face change greatly and leave in a hurry.

This made the Xun family who was in charge of the reception forget about receiving Liu Yi, who passed by Cao Cao, for a while, and let Liu Yi enter the Xun Mansion.

Cao Cao left, and many guests were silent for a long time, making the hall a little quiet. However, when Liu Yi came in, they began to whisper in twos and threes, as if they were all guessing what could make Cao Cao's face change so much and make Cao Cao leave in such a hurry.

Xun Jian, the head of the Xun family, sat high in the hall, accepted the congratulations of the guests one by one, and received the congratulatory gifts from the guests.

Liu Yi looked at him from a distance, but found that he was a little older than the last time he saw him, and his beard was almost completely white.

Liu Yi stepped forward, and after the previous guest had a birthday greeting Xun Jian, under the guidance of the Xun family's subordinates, after going to the banquet in the side hall to drink, Liu Yi walked in front of the head of the Xun family with a negotiated face.

In the hall, almost all the people who can drink with the birthday star here are almost all the most powerful people in the city, either the court members or the rich lords. Among them, there are many people who are estimated to have met or even know Liu Yi.

However, Liu Yi has been disguised, although not all of them have changed his appearance, but it is not easy for people to see that it is Liu Yi at a glance. Cao Cao and Liu Yi passed by and failed to recognize Liu Yi, one was that Cao Cao didn't pay much attention, and the other was that Liu Yi had already put on makeup, and it seemed that it was not easy for people to think of Liu Yi as soon as they saw it.

Xun Jian obviously didn't recognize Liu Yi, after all, he and Liu Yi had only met many years ago.

"Huh? This son, it seems that the old man has seen it, and he has a little impression, I don't know which son-in-law you are? Xun Jian looked at Liu Yi, only to feel a little familiar, and really didn't remember that it was Liu Yi at once. Because he felt a little familiar, he didn't wait for Liu Yi to open his birthday celebrations, so he asked with a smile first.

"In Xia Liu Tian, on the order of my father, I came to wish Mr. Xun good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan...... A small gift, not a tribute, please smile. ”

Liu Yi made a cautious gesture and said a congratulatory speech like ordinary guests who came to congratulate him.

"Hehe, thank you so much......" Xun Jian listened to the person in front of him, and did not say which family he was, but it seemed that it was not easy to find the root cause, after all, there were too many people who came to congratulate him, even if the person in front of him said it, he might not remember it.

Just as he was about to send Liu Yi away, Liu Yi took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist.

The jade pendant was given to Liu Yi by Fengxian, and Liu Yi engraved his name by himself, which was a good way for Liu Yi to secretly reveal his identity to the head of the Xun family.

Liu Yi held the jade pendant with both hands, presented it to Xun Jian, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xun, this jade pendant is a family heirloom of my Liu family, now, give it to Mr. Xun, please be sure to appreciate it." ”

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he didn't care whether Xun Jian took it or not, he put it directly in his hand, and then, taking a step back, facing away from everyone in the hall, looking at Xun Jian, with a talkative smile. (To be continued......)
