Wang Lie bowed his hand and said, "Wang Lie, I've seen Your Highness." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Xuan said: "Yan Fanggong, please take a seat!" ”

For Wang Lie, Liu Xuan naturally did some homework and knew that Wang Lie was the long history of Gongsun Du. Liu Xuan originally planned to visit Wang Lie by himself, but he didn't expect Wang Lie to take the initiative to come to the door.

Wang Lie sat down and said straight to the point: "The old man heard that His Royal Highness went to visit Tai Shici today, and he killed a fierce tiger on the way, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"It's true!"

Liu Xuan doesn't hide it, this is not something that can be hidden.

Wang Lie said: "The old man is here for the tiger skin. ”

"Oh, is there a need for Yan Fanggong?"

Liu Xuan couldn't wait to get in touch with Wang Lie, and to Liu Xuanlai, it was just a tiger's skin, and it was not of much use for him to stay. If Wang Lie is in need, just give it to Wang Lie.

Wang Lie said: "It's not that the old man needs it, but that after the Hou Ye heard the news, he asked the old man to buy it." On the one hand, it is not easy to fight a tiger, and on the other hand, even if the tiger is killed, it is not killed with bare hands, but the knife has been killed countless times before it can be successful, and the tiger skin has long been useless. ”

Liu Xuan heard this, but his mind turned.

Gongsun Du begged for tiger skin!

It's not impossible.

Wang Lie continued: "Master Hou said, the price of this tiger skin is at the mercy of His Highness. Then, the Hou Ye bought it according to the price offered by His Royal Highness. ”

After Liu Xuan heard this, he sneered in his heart.

Once it is a purchase of tiger skin, the meaning is different, it is a transaction.

If it is given to Gongsun Du, it is a favor.

Liu Xuan said: "It's just a tiger skin, Hou Ye is really polite." Yan Fanggong, since Hou Ye is in need, this king has given the tiger skin to Hou Ye. ”

Wang Lie shook his head and said, "How can this work." ”

It was impossible for Liu Xuan to accept Gongsun Du's money, and said with a straight face: "If the Hou Ye insists on buying it with money, then the king will not sell it." It's just a piece of fur, this tiger skin, this king gave it to the Hou Ye. ”

When Wang Lie heard this, he knew that it was impossible to refuse.

That's all I can do.

Wang Lie arched his hand and said, "In this way, the old man thanks His Royal Highness on behalf of the Marquis." ”

Liu Xuan changed his words and said, "Since Gong Yan Fang came to Liaodong, he didn't return to Qingzhou?" ”

Wang Lie shook his head and said, "Yes, I have been in Liaodong for two years, but I have never been back. Alas, I don't know what the current situation is in the Central Plains? ”

Liu Xuan replied: "In today's Han Dynasty, there are Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Dong Zhuo in the imperial court, Tian Kai in Qingzhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, Liu Yan in Yizhou, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou...... It can be said that there are many princes. ”

"The appearance of chaos!"

Wang Lie sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity for countless people. ”

Liu Xuan said: "Since Yan Fanggong is worried about the safety of the people, why don't you return to the Central Plains, choose a Ming Lord to serve, and contribute to the peaceful troubled times?" ”

Wang Lie said: "The old man is old, and he can't move anymore." ”

Liu Xuan said: "Could it be that Yan Fanggong plans to end up in Liaodong?" ”

After Wang Lie heard this, his face was gloomy.

Today, Wang Lie is over fifty years old, and in this era, anyone who can live to be fifty years old can be regarded as having lived enough, which can be said to be the twilight of his life. Maybe one day, it will be completely returned to the West.

Therefore, when Liu Xuan mentioned the question, Wang Lie's expression suddenly changed.

Wang Lie said: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, and if the old man chooses Liaodong, a place outside the world, he can't take into account whether the leaves can fall and return to his roots, and he is helpless." ”

After a pause, Wang Lie said: "The old man observed what His Highness did, recruited Liu Zheng, and then accepted Tai Shici." As well as today's remarks, I am afraid that His Highness has come to Liaodong, on the one hand, it is an alliance, and on the other hand, it is to plan to recruit talents who live in Liaodong. ”

Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and the pupils in his eyes shrank.

Wang Lie sensed his purpose.

Liu Xuan smiled and said: "Yan Fanggong is too worried, Liu Zheng and Tai Shici are just chances. ”

Wang Lie stroked his beard under his chin and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to explain, the old man won't tell Master Hou about this." On the one hand, the people His Royal Highness wants to recruit are all people who live in Liaodong and have not become officials; On the other hand, many of these people are friends of the old man, and the old man also hopes that they can return to the Central Plains. ”

After Liu Xuan heard this, he just smiled and didn't say anything like thanks.

If you really say thank you, then you are really soliciting.

Wang Lie continued: "Your Highness, the old man has to give you a reminder. At present, Hou Ye is fully preparing for the alliance negotiation, so he has no heart to pay attention to Hou Ye. But His Royal Highness is not chaotic whether he meets Liu Zheng or Tai Shici, it is all such fanfare, this is too high-profile, it is better to be low-key. ”

Liu Xuan said: "Thank you Yan Fanggong for reminding me. ”

Thinking about Liu Zheng and Tai Shici, Liu Xuan was also helpless in his heart, because these were all temporary.

Let him keep a low profile?

How can you be low-key, you can't be low-key at all.

Liu Xuan took down Wang Lie's reminder, but he did not change his plan. What should be done must be done, and it is impossible to change it because of Wang Lie's words.

Wang Lie said: "It's not too early, and the old man has to go back to pay the errand, so he took his leave." ”

Liu Xuan said: "Yan Fanggong, wait a minute, I'll ask someone to bring the tiger skin." ”

Immediately, Liu Xuan arranged it.

Not long after, Shi A came with a tiger skin that had just been cut off and was still stained with blood, and handed it to Wang Lie's hand.

Wang Lie said again: "Thank you, Your Highness, farewell!" ”

Liu Xuan bowed his head and sent Wang Lie away, and Liu Xuan returned to the study. Liu Xuan was a little happy about giving the tiger skin to Gongsun Du, because it meant that Gongsun Du owed him a favor invisibly.

Early the next morning, Liu Xin came to the house early.

It's just that Liu Xuan arranged Liu Xin in the house and didn't go out to play.

With Liu Zheng inquiring about the news of Bingyuan and Guan Ning, Liu Xuan was not in a hurry to go out, and he could calm down and think about the negotiation and prepare for the negotiation in a few days.

……

The next morning, three o'clock.

Outside the gate of the house, a horse-drawn carriage stopped.

On the carriage, a handsome young man with a face like a crown of jade walked down.

The young man is very good-looking, and he can be called a beautiful son, but his eyes are slightly narrow, revealing a trace of coldness and gloom. He came to the gate of the mansion, looked at the soldiers standing guard, and arched his hand: "In Xia Qin Lang, he is a scholar of Jizhou, asking to see His Highness." ”

When the soldiers standing guard heard this, they immediately went to report it.

After a while, the soldier came out and said, "Please, Your Highness is waiting for you in the hall." ”

"Thank you!"

The corners of Qin Lang's mouth rose slightly, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Under the leadership of the attendants, Qin Lang walked towards the hall.

When he came to the hall, Qin Lang saw Liu Xuan sitting on the main seat.

Qin Lang clasped his hands together and saluted: "Jizhou scholar Qin Lang Qin Tianming, meet His Highness." ”
