Liu Xin paused and said, "I think it's better to call it a phantom." ”

Seeing that Liu Xin had already decided, he didn't say anything anymore, after all, this was just a code name, so he turned the topic to specific work and said, "Then I'll report to the lord what the phantom has done recently." ”

It turned out that Fu Zhi didn't know what kind of work this secret spy organization was going to focus on, and now the biggest thing in the entire Han Dynasty was to eliminate the Yellow Turban thieves, so Fu Zhu also shifted the focus of Phantom's work to this direction.

Fu Zhu continued: "At present, the focus of the imperial court's purge is obviously on the Yingchuan side. However, the Yellow Turban Bocai and Sun Xia joined forces as one, and after months of fierce fighting, the combat strength of these thieves has been greatly improved, and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song could not win the battle for a long time. The imperial court appointed Cao Ying as the waiter and led the army to reinforce him. ”

"Cao Ying?" Liu Xin remembered the scene where he teased Ma Yun, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and then thought that Bian Yu was now his own woman, so he calmed down and said, "Well, you go on." ”

Fu Zhu also said: "There is another Xiapi righteous soldier Sun Jian, who recruited Xiangyong and went to Yingchuan to join Zhu Jun's army. At present, the official army is very powerful, and the Yingchuan Yellow Turban may not be able to last. ”

Liu Xin was not surprised by the appearance of Cao Ying and Sun Jian, these are not much different from the original history, but because of his lightning attack, the Nanyang Yellow Turban was instantly wiped out, which made the strength of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban strengthened, and it has been fighting with the official army to this day.

Fu Zhu continued: "Since the imperial court focused on Yingchuan, there were fewer troops in the direction of Jizhou, and both Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo were defeated by Zhang Jiao many times, and the situation in Jizhou was not optimistic. ”

Originally from Jizhou, he was particularly worried about the Yellow Turban riots in his hometown.

Liu Xin knew in his heart that it was now autumn, and it wouldn't be long before Zhang Jiao would die of illness, and when the time came, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would soon be suppressed, and he couldn't help but think of the Taoyuan rebellion written at the beginning of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and asked: "Gonghe, have the phantom people ever heard of a man named Liu Bei?" ”

Fu Zhu thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is such a person, he seems to be Lu Zhi's student, and he recruited dozens of people to help Lu Zhi. This person's martial arts are ordinary, but there is a red-faced man beside him, and his martial arts are strong. The leaders of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, Guan Hai and Cheng Yuanzhi, all died at the hands of this big man. After Dong Zhuo took over the military power, Liu Bei had disappeared. ”

Liu Xin secretly thought, this red-faced person is naturally Guan Yu, he got Zhang Fei away, Liu Bei can still take him under his command, this big-eared thief is really not simple, no wonder Cao Ying regards him as an opponent, but I don't know what Cao Ying will say about me in the future?

Frustrated and suggested: "Lord, do you see if we can send troops to help Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and clear the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, so that we can open up the road to the north and drive Moxiangzhai to Luoyang." ”

At this time, Moxiangzhai had opened all over the nine counties of Jingxiang, and gradually developed to Yang and Xu Erzhou. The people who came in and out of Moxiangzhai were all high-class people of the scholar clan, and they heard a lot of news, but they didn't have time to analyze it carefully. However, as the exclusive operator of Xiang paper, coupled with some new stationery newly developed by the research institute, the income of Mo Xiang Zhai is increasing, and Fu Zhu can't wait to promote Mo Xiang Zhai to the whole country.

Liu Xin shook his head and said, "Gonghe, without the order of the imperial court, it is better for us not to send troops without authorization." Rest assured, in my opinion, the yellow scarf will not last long, and by the end of the year, the situation will change dramatically. In the future, the focus of the phantom investigation should be on Cao Ying, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian, and it is necessary to understand in detail the situation of these three people and their subordinates, including family members, personal preferences, and skills and specialties, and the more detailed the better. ”

Fu Zhu didn't understand why Liu Xin valued these three people so much, they were just small characters, was it worth his effort? But there is an advantage to frustration, that is, as long as it is an order that Liu Xin decides on, he will complete it to the letter, and will not bargain.

At this time, a tiger guard soldier walked in and handed Liu Xin a letter, which was just sent by Zhang He of Nanxiang.

Liu Xin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly opened it, suddenly laughed, and said to Fu Zhu: "Gonghe, come with me to the Wang family." ”

When Wang Zhen began to organize caravans to Nanyang and Nanxiang Second Counties, he was not too willing, but after making a lot of money, now he doesn't need Liu Xin to say, he also starts business with peace of mind. So Wang Yan stayed in Zhangling to run the Wang family's business in Nanxiang.

Wang Yan and Zhang He didn't like each other very well. Wang Yan thought that Zhang He had too few words and a big shelf, especially on the way to Nanxiang, he actually used Wang Yan's caravan as bait, for this matter, Wang Yan hated it so much, but there was no way to take Zhang He. Zhang He felt that this beautiful woman was too ruthless because Wang Yan proposed to kill the remnants of the Yellow Turban who surrendered, and he didn't have a good impression of her.

However, since Wang Yan wants to do business in Nanxiang, she has to deal with the government, and Nanxiang is too guarded by Zhang He, where she has to run for two days and two days. Zhang He wanted to rebuild Nanxiang County, and he couldn't do without the support of these businessmen. After going back and forth, dealing with each other a lot, the two people naturally got acquainted, the original estrangement gradually disappeared, and their views on each other slowly changed, I don't know when they started, they actually had some good feelings for each other.

Originally, the two met often, and their relationship developed slowly, so there was no need to worry. Who knew that Wang Yan's second brother Wang Yun was in Nanyang, and he was very optimistic about Xu Huang, and wrote to his father several times and said many good things about Xu Huang. The Wang family is now the third largest family in Xiangyang, Wang Zhen has always wanted to find a stable backer, he has quietly inquired, Liu Xin now only has one wife and one concubine, with the appearance of his daughter, it is still very promising to marry him as a concubine, but he has never found a chance to speak. Now that Wang Yun proposed to marry his daughter to Xu Huang, Wang Zhen was a little tempted, after all, Xu Huang is now Nanyang Taishou, and his daughter is Mrs. Taishou if she marries him, and Xu Huang is also Liu Xin's second brother. So, Wang Zhen repaired a letter and asked Wang Yan to rush back to Xiangyang as soon as possible.

Wang Yan got her father's letter, and when she saw that the letter contained the intention of marrying herself, she couldn't help but be anxious and came to Zhang He to discuss. Zhang He knew that the matter of marriage, the life of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker, he didn't have to worry about anything, but if Wang Zhenruo married his daughter to someone else, it was a little difficult to do, so he had to write a letter and ask Liu Xin to help him go to the Wang family to propose marriage.

When he learned of the reason, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Lord, it seems that we will have a wedding wine to eat soon." ”

Liu Xin said: "Gonghe, I don't know anything about these etiquette things, you have to do more in this matter." Without further ado, I'll go to Wang's house first, and you will prepare the gifts and applications, and then come quickly. ”

When the letter was delivered to Liu Xin, Wang Yan had already returned to Xiangyang, and was angry with Wang Zhen at home about this matter, no matter what Wang Zhen said, Wang Yan just didn't agree to marry Xu Huang. At this time, the servant came to report that Lord Mu Liu of Jingzhou had personally come to visit.

As soon as Wang Zhen heard that Liu Xin was coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "My lord, why are you here, if there is something, just ask the people below to give an order." ”

Liu Xin smiled and arched his hand at Wang Zhen: "Congratulations." Wang Yuanwai, I heard that you have a daughter, who was born beautiful and dignified, and Liu came here today to propose marriage to you. ”

When Wang Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed, and threw Xu Huang behind his head, and said: "Oh, if the adult likes the little girl, it would be good to ask someone to say it, and the villain will arrange a sedan chair to send the little girl to the house." ”

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I misunderstood outside the staff, Liu is here to help my brother propose, my brother is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and now he is a county guard, and he will never insult Ling Ai." ”

At this time, Fu Zhu also rushed over, took over the conversation and said: "Outside the staff, there is the lord and I personally as the matchmaker, you can't shirk this family business." ”

Wang Zhen was surprised, it turned out that Xu Huang first found Liu Xin to be a matchmaker, which made him a little embarrassed, and said: "Since he is the brother of the adult, the villain is also Gao Pan." Don't hide it from the adult, the villain was still persuading the little girl for this matter just now, and was ready to marry her to your brother. ”

In Wang Zhen's letter to his daughter, he didn't mention who he wanted to marry her, so at the beginning, Wang Yan and Zhang He didn't know that Xu Huang was in it, and Liu Xin didn't know it, so it was strange, it stands to reason that Zhang He and Wang Yan should be in love, why do you have to persuade her, so he said: "Outside, how can this matter be strong, why don't you ask Ling Ai and let Liu ask her what she means in person." ”

As soon as Wang Yan heard Liu Xin call her out, she understood that he must have received Zhang He's letter, so she walked out with joy and said a blessing to Liu Xin: "The folk girl has seen Lord Liu." ”

Liu Xin said: "The girl doesn't have to be polite. I have come to ask you if you would like to marry my brother. ”

Wang Yan heard Zhang He tell the story of the reunion of the seven brothers, and now he knows about Xu Huang, glanced at Dian Wei, who was standing beside Liu Xin, smiled slyly, and said: "I heard that the adult has six good brothers, and the one here must also be the adult's brother, I don't know which one the adult is talking about?" ”

Dian Wei is a big surname, but he doesn't care, and says: "Dian Wei knows that he looks ugly, of course the girl doesn't look down on me, but she is not allowed to make fun of me." My eldest brother is here to help the fourth brother propose, the girl agrees or not, hurry up, just a word, my eldest brother is very busy, you can't delay my eldest brother's efforts. ”

Wang Yan knew that Zhang He was the fourth, but when he said it, she became shy, her pretty face turned red, she lowered her head and put her hands on the corners of her clothes, but she didn't speak.

Liu Xin is a person who has come over, how can she not understand what she means, but she pretended to say: "Since the girl is unwilling, Liu does not dare to force it, so she will leave." ”

Wang Yan was anxious and hurriedly said, "Don't, I agreed." ”

Everyone laughed, but Wang Zhen was stunned, not knowing which one he was singing.
