Chapter 385: True or False
Without waiting for Yang Muyu to answer, Feng Lie had already preemptively said: "Lord Qiqi, Miss Yang is uneasy because she leaked the whereabouts of you and Mrs. Zhurong, and from last night to now, the grain of rice has not entered. When she heard that her lord was injured, she felt deeply guilty and took the initiative to come to ask for her guilt, and she had been kneeling here for more than three hours. ”
Speaking of this, Feng Lie paused slightly, secretly glanced at Liu Xin, and saw that there was no expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel worried, and continued: "Actually, in fact, Miss Yang was coerced by Meng Jie, if she didn't reveal the whereabouts of the lord, Meng Jie would kill her whole family, and she would ...... as a last resort."
"Feng Lie, don't speak for her! She is Meng Shu's woman! Zhu Rong interrupted him unceremoniously and said coldly, "Is Meng Festival terrible?" If Brother really has three longs and two shorts, I will still kill her whole family! ”
Liu Xin was indeed seriously injured enough this time, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, when he jumped towards Zhu Rong and Meng Shu, he had already foreseen that Meng Jie would sneak up on his back, secretly fought against him, and grabbed Meng Huo who was knocked away by Zhu Rong on the way, and unloaded half of the strength he was bearing, even if he didn't die this time, he couldn't get up. The more Zhu Rong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he always felt that it was because he couldn't bear to kill the Meng family that Liu Xin was seriously injured. If Yang Muyu had been used as an official slave, it would have been impossible for him and Liu Xin's whereabouts to be leaked out. For a whole day, Liu Xin didn't wake up, and the guilt in Zhu Rong's heart became heavier and heavier, and then turned his anger on Yang Muyu, if it wasn't for Zhu Ding's persuasion, Zhu Rong would have killed her with his own hands just now.
As Meng Huo's woman, Yang Muyu often heard Meng Huo make irresponsible remarks about Liu Xin, preconceived, and even she didn't have a good impression of Liu Xin. What she has seen and heard in the cave in the past two days has made her opinion of Liu Xin change slightly, but she still has no good impression. It wasn't until Feng Lie told her that Liu Xin had ordered a large amount of grain to be transferred from Jingzhou to be distributed to the Han barbarians in the four counties of Nanzhong free of charge, so that they could spend this winter in peace, that Yang Muyu completely changed his opinion of Liu Xin, and insisted on coming to ask for guilt despite Feng Lie's persuasion.
This kneeling was more than three hours, Yang Muyu was just a weak woman, her face gradually turned pale, and she was physically and mentally exhausted, but after listening to Zhu Rong's words, she still said firmly: "No! I'm not Meng Huo's woman, and I have nothing to do with him anymore! ”
Feng Lie suddenly knelt beside Yang Muyu, kowtowed, and said: "Lord Qi, the reason why your whereabouts were leaked this time is all due to the last general, the last general is willing to take the death, please spare Miss Yang's life!" ”
Liu Xin glanced at Feng Lie, and saw that the white cloth wrapped around his face had become bloodstained again, obviously his movements were too violent today, and he burst into wounds. Liu Xin knew in his heart that the reason why Feng Lie was like this was that he was worried about his own safety, and secondly, he was moved by Yang Muyu's true feelings, so he couldn't help but turn to Wen Ping and Zhu Ding, and asked, "What do you think should be done with this matter?" ”
Guo Jia has rushed back to Xiangyang to report the victory. Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are still in the military camp on the Ke border, and they will need to be busy for a while to clear the remnants of the enemy and transfer food. Therefore, there are only four people here, Wen Ping, Feng Lie and Zhu Ding's father and daughter, and Zhu Rong and Feng Lie's attitudes are obvious, one wants to kill, and the other wants to protect. Wen Ping and Zhu Ding couldn't see what Liu Xin's attitude was for a while, and they were a little embarrassed on which side they were on, so they couldn't help but glance at each other, and said in unison: "The decision to kill is all up to the lord!" ”
"Hehe, you two are really slippery!" Liu Xin smiled, his face sank, and said, "Liu's principle of doing things has always been that meritorious service is rewarded, and if there is a mistake, punishment is punished, and no one can be an exception!" ”
Feng Lie's face darkened, and it seemed that Yang Muyu could not escape death. Yang Muyu raised his head and said loudly: "The slave is willing to die to thank your lord!" ”
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "Yes, she is a responsible woman." You just said that you have nothing to do with Meng Shu anymore, but the truth? ”
Yang Muyu said without hesitation: "There is no half-talk. ”
"Good!" Liu Xin lifted the quilt, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "Yang Muyu leaked Liu's whereabouts, and it wasn't all wrong, but there was still some credit." ”
"What! She leaked your whereabouts and mine, and there is credit? Zhu Rongyuan opened his eyes, feeling incredible, and said angrily, "Brother, you won't have a crush on her, right?" ”
"Clean nonsense!" Liu Xin said angrily, "If she hadn't leaked our whereabouts, how could Meng Jie have found us?" If Meng Jie and Meng Shu don't take the initiative to show up, with their familiarity with the terrain of Nanzhong, not to mention that they have been hiding for a year and a half, even if they have been hiding for ten or eight years, there will be no problem at all. ”
Taking a breath, Liu Xin continued: "You have also seen Meng Jie's martial arts, if he doesn't come to attack us, but to attack those convoys that transport grain, with his martial arts, one hundred and ten guards are not under his words at all, when the time comes, the four counties of Nanzhong will never have a day!" ”
Liu Xin paused and said: "It is precisely because she leaked our whereabouts that Meng Jie and Meng Shu appeared, and we can completely eradicate these two troubles." Moreover, Meng Jie's appearance also convinced me of one thing, the Meng family has long been against it! Otherwise, how could a master like Meng Jie live in seclusion in the mountains and forests? ”
The real reason why Meng Jie lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests is actually unknown to anyone, maybe Meng Shu is clear, but he and Meng Jie are dead, and there is no way to understand the inside story. However, Liu Xin can't control this much, whatever the reason for him, Liu Xin decided that Meng Jie's seclusion was to leave a way back for the Meng family's rebellion, so that Liu Xin could justifiably purge the Meng family.
However, from Liu Xin's long list of words to be divided into three paragraphs, it can also be seen that he is indeed injured a lot today. Zhu Rong could feel that Liu Xin's breath was still not smooth enough, and asked worriedly: "Brother, are you okay, or let's discuss her matter tomorrow." As long as you're okay, I'll let her go. ”
"Tomorrow we will go back to Xiangyang together, wait for something to eat, and breathe for a while, it should be fine." Liu Xin waved his hand, turned to Yang Muyu and said, "Anyway, it is a big crime for you to leak our whereabouts, and if you have merits and demerits, we will not punish you." However, the wound on General Feng Lie's face showed signs of aggravation because of this incident, but it must not go unpunished. ”
Feng Lie hurriedly said: "Lord, the last general has rough skin and thick meat, and this little injury is not in the way." ”
Liu Xin ignored him and asked with a smile, "Yang Muyu, are you willing to be punished?" ”
Yang Muyu didn't expect Liu Xin not to punish her for revealing her whereabouts, but she would punish her for the aggravation of Feng Lie's injury, and she didn't understand what his intentions were, but she said without hesitation: "The slave admits punishment!" ”
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Liu remarried you to Feng Lie three days ago, but Liu knew that you were not willing, and Liu no longer forced you to do so." Tomorrow, General Feng Lie will return to Xiangyang with Liu, and ask Hua Tuohua from the Medical College to treat the wound on his face, and Liu will punish you to take good care of Feng Lie during the treatment, and after he is cured, he will return your freedom. ”
Yang Muyu couldn't imagine that there was such a punishment in this world, and he was stunned and speechless.
Liu Xin saw that Yang Muyu didn't speak, his face sank, and he said, "What, you don't agree?" ”
Yang Muyu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I promise, I promise." ”
After another night's rest, Liu Xin already felt better, but Zhu Rong resolutely refused to let him ride a horse, so he set up an ox cart and walked slowly to Xiangyang. Although the ox cart is slow, it has the same benefit, it is not very bumpy. As a concession, Zhu Rong also promised to leave two more cousins in addition to Zhu Yan, and only brought Zhu Yu with him.
Although the ox cart was simple, it was very wide, and Zhu Rong naturally squeezed into it. Zhu Yu also wanted to climb into the car, but heard Zhu Rong shouting: "Go on your own horse!" ”
Driving away Zhu Yu, Zhu Rong snuggled up to Liu Xin's side and said with a smile: "Brother, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask you, you have to tell me truthfully." ”
Liu Xin was surprised, there was something in his stomach and not to say, this is not Zhu Rong's style, he couldn't help but be curious, and said: "Well, if you have anything to ask, as long as it is not a matter of confidentiality, I know everything." ”
"Humph!" Zhu Rong pursed his lips and said, "Do you still need to keep it secret with me?" Brother, don't worry, I promise I won't say it. ”
The more she said this, the more strange Liu Xin became, looked her up and down for a long time, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Zhu Rong lifted the curtain of the car and looked around, attached it to Liu Xin's ear and asked mysteriously: "Brother, do you want to be the emperor?" ”
Liu Xin was taken aback, her eyes widened and she said, "Who told you, don't talk nonsense!" ”
"Cut!" Zhu Rong danced with his hand and said disdainfully, "Brother, you now sit on the land of Sili, Jing, Yi, and Liang, but you are only a Jingzhou pastor, and you don't want to serve as the three princes and nine ministers in the imperial court, and people still don't know your thoughts." ”
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, then asked with a straight face, "Who taught you these words?" ”
While asking this sentence, Liu Xin's brain was also running fast. He knew that with Zhu Rong's arrogant personality, he would never think of these aspects, and only Xu Shu could think about it so far, but Xu Shu should not dare to dangle in front of Zhu Rong now, so there is only one possibility, that is, Xu Shu told Zhu Ding these thoughts, and Zhu Ding told Zhu Rong again. In just a few moments, Liu Xin came to a conclusion. Of course, Zhu Ding has enough reason to hope that Liu Xin can sit on the throne of the emperor, so that his daughter will be a concubine, and he himself will become a relative of the emperor, otherwise, his daughter will be favored by Liu Xin again, and she will only be a concubine, and she will not be able to get on the big stage after all. However, Liu Xin also knew that even if she guessed that Zhu Ding asked her to test herself, she would not say it.
Sure enough, Zhu Rong leaned into his arms again, and said softly: "Brother, don't care who taught me, you only tell me if it's true or false?" ”
