Liu Xin was taken aback when he heard the fire alarm outside, and hurriedly said to Ma Yun: "Hurry up!" I'm going to hug my son! ”

Ma Yun said without hesitation: "I'll go with you!" ”

When he arrived outside, he found that Qiao'er had already carried Liu Yu out. Liu Xin took Ma Yun's hand three steps and two steps, and ran out of the room, and there was already a mess outside.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu had also run out with their families, and Dian Wei was fighting the fire with the Flying Tiger Guard. Xu Chu saw Liu Xin coming out, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, it's Mr. Cai's room that is on fire." ”

Liu Xin looked up and saw Cai Yong's family of three standing in the courtyard in front of the house in embarrassment, Cai Yan was still wearing a long-sleeved dress, obviously not having time to change it yet. Liu Xin hurriedly walked over and asked, "Mr. Bojiao, are you all right?" ”

Cai Yong muttered with a dull expression, "I'm fine." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly shouted loudly again: "Oops! Oh no! My piano, my piano is still in it. With that, he rushed into the room.

The fire had apparently been burning from behind, and the flames had already reached outside, and the door had been covered by the wind, or for some other reason. In this case, no one dared to let him into the room to get the piano, and pulled him with all hands and feet. Tian Feng persuaded: "Uncle, let it go to a piano, and buy a good one when you get to Xiangyang." ”

Where is Cai Yong willing to listen to his persuasion, he stomps his feet again, beats his chest again, and shouts to the sky and grabs the ground there. Cai Yan kept crying beside him, and suddenly rushed into the room like crazy. Everyone was persuading Cai Yong, where did she notice her, and when she found out, she was only seven or eight steps away from the door. Seeing this, Mrs. Cai exclaimed bitterly: "Yan'er! ”

At this moment, I only heard a loud sound of "bang", and the door that was still hidden just now suddenly flew up, and with a "plop" sound, it landed not far from Cai Yan's side, and the sparks splashed on Cai Yan's body, and immediately burned out a few holes in the dress that Ma Yun was envious of. Then, a dark shadow burst out of the room, and at this time, a soldier was carrying a bucket of water and splashing it into the room. The dark shadow reacted quickly, and on one side, the bucket of water was pouring from head to toe on his back. The black shadow did not stop at all, and went straight to Cai Yong and them.

Cai Yan was so frightened by the sudden fall of the door that he trembled, he stood in place, unable to move a step, and the courage to rush to the sea of fire just now was long gone. The black shadow passed by her side, grabbed her hand, and dragged her to Cai Yong's side.

At this time, everyone saw that the black shadow turned out to be Liu Xin, his face was scorched black by smoke, his hair was also burned by the fire, and the clothes on his body were burned with many holes, and he was even drenched from head to foot by a bucket of water just now, which was very embarrassing. Everyone was persuading Cai Yong just now, but no one noticed when Liu Xin left and how he entered the room.

Liu Xin also carried a large package in his hand, and just now he turned sideways and blocked the bucket of water splashed by the soldier with his body, just to protect this package. Everyone was still in a daze, Liu Xin had already handed the package to Cai Yong and asked, "Mr. Bo Jiao, hurry up and take a look, is this it?" ”

Ma Yun couldn't help but throw herself into Liu Xin's arms and cried loudly: "Husband, how can you take such a risk!" If you have three long and two short, how will we live! ”

Liu Xin hugged her tightly, wiped the tears on her face with her hands, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, isn't it good for me." Okay, okay, I promise you, just don't risk it in the future. Puff ......" as he spoke, Liu Xin suddenly laughed, "I'm sorry to make you a big face." ”

It turned out that Liu Xin helped Ma Yun wipe her tears, and the cigarette ash on her hands was all painted on Ma Yun's face, and now the two of them have a big black face. Ma Yun also burst into tears and laughed, and slapped him twice in the chest with a pair of pink fists.

Cai Yan was standing beside them, seeing their affectionate actions, he only felt bitter in his heart, turned his head, but saw his father holding the package, his hands trembled for a long time and he couldn't open it, so he took the package and opened it gently, and it was indeed a piano inside. Cai Yong's father and daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xin's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that one side of the piano was already scorched, he sighed and said to Cai Yong: "Alas, Mr. Bo Jiao, I am still one step slower, and this piano has burned a piece." ”

Cai Yong had already come back to his senses and said to Liu Xin: "It didn't burn, it didn't burn, this piano was originally like this." ”

It turned out that Cai Yong was exiled to the south, and when he walked to Wu County, he heard a crisp popping sound next door in the room, and he couldn't help but be shocked, raised his head and pricked up his ears to listen carefully, shouted "not good", jumped up and ran to the stove. It turned out that there was a person next door who burned paulownia wood for cooking, Cai Yong heard the sound of paulownia wood bursting in the fire, and knew that this was a very good piece of wood, so he asked someone to make a piano out of this wood, and sure enough, beautiful music was played, but the end of the wood was burned.

Liu Xin and Ma Yun listened to the story told by Cai Yong, couldn't help but glance at each other, and said, "It turns out that this is Jiao Weiqin." ”

Cai Yong listened, and suddenly muttered: "Jiaoweiqin, Jiaoweiqin." This name is good, the old man has always wanted to give this piano a good name, and today he finally got his wish. Liu Xin was speechless for a moment, it turned out that the name of "Jiao Weiqin" was not taken by Cai Yong, and he was ahead of his time.

At this time, the county commander Kuai Liang also rushed over when he heard the news, and the fire had been extinguished. Liu Xin said to Kuai Liang: "Kuai County's order came just in time, quickly send someone to check, who set this fire?" ”

At this time, a voice came: "Lord, don't check, I set this fire." ”

Liu Xin turned his head in a row, only to see Cai Yong's dejected face, and asked strangely, "Mr. Bojiao, why are you setting fire?" Ahh......h Only then did everyone realize that the bucket of water that had been splashed on Liu Xin's body just now had turned into ice. Everyone hurriedly got Liu Xin to the front office, and randomly found a few clothes for him to change into. Liu Xin sat in front of the brazier, drinking the ginger soup that Ma Yun boiled for him, while listening to Cai Yong explain why he wanted to burn the county government.

It turned out that after Cai Yan performed the ceremony, Cai Yong saw that his beautiful daughter was already an adult, and said unsatisfactorily: "Yan'er, when you arrive in Xiangyang and settle down, your father will let you marry the Wei family in a beautiful manner." ”

Cai Yan is only fifteen years old, the age of flowers, just in the rebellious period of youth. Originally, women of this era, especially those born in a big literati family like Cai Yong, would receive a lot of orthodox education since they were young. But since listening to Ma Yun's sentence "A woman's happiness depends on herself", her heart began to be confused. was still immersed in the joy of just becoming an adult, but when he heard his father mention the Wei family, he was troubled again, and blurted out: "Dad, I don't want to marry into the Wei family." ”

Cai Yong attaches the most importance to faith and righteousness in her life, and has already agreed to the Wei family's proposal, how can she be allowed to repent? Immediately furious: "What did you say! You are in charge of these things! If I don't want to get married, I don't have your daughter! The more Cai Yong spoke, the more excited he became, and when he raised his hand, he just knocked over the teacup brought by Mrs. Cai to the ground, and the lid of the cup was impartial, and it was smashing on the candle next to it. As a result, most of Kuailiang's county government was burned down.

Liu Xin was dumbfounded when he heard this, knowing that Cai Yong was an old pedant, and it was really difficult to persuade him in this matter, so he had to say to Kuai Liang: "Kuai County Order, I'm sorry, Bo Ji is also unintentional, you look at how many things are burned, I'll pay for it." ”

Kuai Liang smiled: "Why did the lord say this. Xia Guan has quite a lot of family assets, so burn it, and pay it for what to do. ”

Along the way, from Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong to the county orders below, they still called Liu Xin, but they refused to call him lord, but now Kuai Liang suddenly changed his words, obviously recognizing Liu Xin, all because he saw that he could work hard for a piano of his subordinates.

When Liu Xin heard him say this, he couldn't insist on compensation, so he had to ask again: "Does the Kuai County Order have any other requirements?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "Back to the lord, the lower officials have nothing else to ask for, but I hope that the lord can treat the people of Jingzhou well." ”

Liu Xin pondered for a moment and said: "It has always been my purpose to be an official and benefit one party, and it is my duty to treat the people well." It's just that I first arrived in Jingzhou, and I am not familiar with the local situation, so how to do it, and I asked the county order to teach me. ”

Kuai Liang was not modest, got up and replied: "The lord wants to settle Jingzhou, and he should accept the hearts of the people. If you want to win the hearts of the people, you must do benevolent and righteous deeds, and if benevolence is insufficient, the people will not be attached, and if righteousness is insufficient, the people will not be attached. If the way of benevolence and righteousness is practiced, then the people will return from all directions, so why worry about Jingzhou not being cured? Although Kuai Liang is in Jingzhou, he has also heard of the good name of the lord, and now he sees the lord sacrificing his life to save the qin, and is willing to take his brother Kuai Yue to serve the lord of dogs and horses. ”

Liu Xin didn't have any impression of Kuai Liangben, and when he heard him mention Kuai Yue, he remembered that the two brothers were the two major strategists under Liu Biao, and he was immediately overjoyed and said: "Liu can get Mr. help, why worry about Jingzhou not being cured." I want to ask Mr. Ming to go to Xiangyang with me, I don't know what to do? ”

Kuai Liang said: "Although Xia Guan is a native of Zhonglu in Nanjun, his family has already settled in Xiangyang, and he is naturally willing to go with the lord." It's just that this Xinye is the gateway to the north of Xiangyang, and a reliable person needs to be arranged to guard it. ”

Liu Xin heard it, it is true, Zhang Jiao should rebel in half a month, Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong didn't take what he said seriously at all, in case the Yingchuan Yellow Turban went south, this Xinye was a barrier, so he said: "I have six brothers, all of whom have the courage of ten thousand people, so I will leave one to guard Xinye, and Mr. can rest assured to go to Xiangyang with me." ”

And at this time, a major event also happened in the capital Luoyang.
