Chapter Eighty-Four: The Old Man Meets
"Big brother!" A long-lost title reminded Zhao Xun of the happy times he used to have with the brothers, but after Situ Liang talked about the superiority and humility, the brothers almost never called him that.
Zhao Xun stood up, walked to Zhao Ning's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said happily: "Old eight, this title is still comfortable to listen to, and when there is no one in the future, it will be called like this." ”
Seeing Zhao Xun's happy appearance, Zhao Ning's heart also relaxed a lot, but when he thought of a few people in the hall, his face became nervous again.
Seeing the change in Zhao Ning's face and today's title, Zhao Xun felt that something special must have happened, and said, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? ”
Zhao Ning took a deep breath and said, "Big brother, someone knows our identity. ”
Zhao Xun said disapprerovantly: "What's the matter, it's strange that Yanzhou City doesn't know us now." You...... You mean ......" said Zhao Xun's face changed greatly.
Zhao Ning nodded and said, "Our identity in Pingzhou." ”
Zhao Xun's face suddenly looked ugly, don't look at his majesty in Yanzhou City for a while, rampant, but if the person who was destroyed in his own house knew, he only had to flee for his life, Zhao Xun knew that his mother must have something to hide from him, otherwise, Ti Qisi would not have to destroy his own door.
"Who knows? What about people? Only a few of us and Uncle Li knew about the events of that day, how did the news leak out? Could anyone else know about this? Zhao Xun said sternly, with a murderous look in his eyes.
Zhao Ning knew that his eldest brother was murderous to the insider, and said with a wry smile: "The person is in the hall, he is a noble son, and he also has more than a dozen guards, they are the ones I met in the Hero Building before, and they want to see you, eldest brother." Big brother, this person's origin is unknown, it's not good to start directly, right? ”
The killing intent on Zhao Xun's face gradually faded, and he frowned and said, "Didn't you send someone to ask the Shadow Guard to check what their origin was?" ”
"When I came back, I had already secretly sent someone to send a message to the Shadow Guard, I think, with Brother Hai's cleverness and carefulness, he must know the importance of this matter, and I am afraid that the investigation has begun now."
Zhao Xun smiled dumbly: "Forget it, what's the use of thinking so much now?" Why don't you go and meet this noble boy who has specified that he wants to see me, and see what he wants to do? ”
Zhao Xun took Zhao Ning straight into the living room, and saw a gorgeously dressed young man sitting in the hall, more than a dozen guards on both sides, and a maid waiting beside the young man.
"I don't know what this son is doing to Zhao?" When he entered the door, Zhao Xun asked heartily, and after seeing this person's face, he secretly said in his heart: What a little white face, so handsome.
"You are Zhao Xun?" After seeing Zhao Xun, the noble prince asked in some surprise.
"Do I need to pretend to be myself? Didn't ask for advice, Childe's surname? Zhao Xun said indifferently. Xin said: "How can you speak without a little manhood, is it the same as Jia Baoyu, living in a pile of women?" ”
"In Xia Li Xinyan, I have seen Lord Zhao. Unexpectedly, the commander of the Huolin Army, who was famous in Yanzhou City, was so young. ”
"Li Gongzi, I don't know what you want to see me?" Zhao Xun thought about it in his heart for a while, and found that there was no one he knew named Li Xinyan. What made Zhao Xun a little strange was that the maid next to Li Xinyan kept staring at him, as if she wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Xinyan.
Li Xinyan did not answer Zhao Xun's question, but said with a smile: "I'm curious, how did you escape from Pingzhou?" I wonder if Lord Zhao can solve my doubts? ”
Zhao Xun smiled: "I don't quite understand what Li Gongzi meant? ”
"Lord Zhao, you used to be a big family in Pingzhou, and you were wiped out overnight, everyone thought that there was no one alive in the Zhao family, but I didn't expect that Lord Zhao would be so impressive in Yanzhou City."
Zhao Xun put away his smile, leaned back in the chair, and said lightly: "This doesn't seem to have much to do with Li Gongzi, right?" Li Gongzi didn't come here today to say this to me. ”
Li Xinyan said: "I just want to explain this to Lord Zhao that the origin of Lord Zhao in my team is very clear. I want to cooperate with Lord Zhao, I don't know what Lord Zhao thinks? ”
"Cooperation? How to cooperate? I still don't know the origin of Li Gongzi, what is the cooperation? ”
Li Xinyan chuckled and said: "This will naturally be known to Lord Zhao in the future, I will tell Lord Zhao something today, I know who are the secret agents of the Tiqi Division in Yanzhou City, I can tell Lord Zhao as my sincerity." ”
"Haha! Li Gongzi, what you said has nothing to do with me, and I am not interested in knowing the secret agent of the Tiqi Division, I only want to know the identity of Li Gongzi and the reason for coming here, I don't know if Li Gongzi is willing to say it? ”
"What if I don't say it?"
Zhao Xun said coldly: "It doesn't matter, there are a lot of spies in Yanzhou City now, and it is not a problem to add a few." ”
"You dare?" The guards behind Li Xinyan shouted.
How can the master speak softly, and the same is true for the guards. Zhao Xun's eyes showed murderous intent, and he sneered: "What am I afraid of? Killing one is killing, and killing ten is also killing. ”
Li Xinyan's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Zhao Xun to have such an attitude, and he also said coldly: "Lord Zhao is not afraid that your identity will be known by the Tiqi Division?" ”
"What if you know? Didn't Li Gongzi also say it? Everyone thinks that there is no one alive in Pingzhou Zhao Mansion, do you think they will believe that I am from Pingzhou Zhao Mansion? ”
"My lord! There's something you need to deal with. A soldier walked into the hall and reported to Zhao Qianyu. As soon as Zhao Xun looked at the person, he was a soldier of the Shadow Guard, and knowing that the Shadow Guard had gained something, he immediately said to Li Xinyan Later, he immediately entered the inner hall.
"How? What were the seizures. Entering the inner room, Zhao Xun asked urgently.
"Back to my lord, the Shadow Guard only found out that this Li Gongzi came from Youzhou with the caravan ten days ago, and wandered the streets all day long, and there was nothing unusual."
"Nothing special?" Zhao Xun frowned and thought for a moment, and said to the Shadow Guard: "Okay, you go down first, and let your commander focus on the Shadow Guard." ”
After Zhao Xun returned to the hall, he looked at Li Xinyan, who was silently drinking tea, and said, "Li Gongzi, please tell me your identity, otherwise, you can only be punished for the crime of conspiracy." You should know that in recent days, there have been many spies executed in the Governor's Mansion, and there are also many spies executed by my Zhao Xun. ”
Before Li Xinyan could speak, a guard behind him shouted again: "Zhao Xun, you are bold, you dare to be so rude to my son-in-law?" I want you to look good in the future! ”
Zhao Xun's eyes flashed cold, he hated someone talking to him like this, and immediately shouted angrily: "Someone!" ”
"Hula......" More than two dozen soldiers who had been waiting outside the door rushed in.
"Pull these spies down for me and execute them on the spot!"
"Yes!"
As soon as they saw that Zhao Xun was real, Li Xinyan and the guards behind him looked hard for a moment, more than a dozen guards had already been disarmed, and now as soon as they wanted to make a move, they were put on the neck with a horizontal knife.
"Wait! Master Zhao, slow down! Li Xinyan's maid said urgently.
It's a pity that her words don't mean Zhao Xun's words, the soldiers didn't stop, and continued to walk towards Li Xinyan, preparing to escort him out.
"Wait! Young master, take it slowly. Li Xinyan's maid said to Zhao Xun repeatedly.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that this maid was about to cry, Zhao Xun also felt that this person was a little familiar, so he asked the guard to stop.
"Young master, don't you know me? I'm like a jade! Li Xinyan's maid came to Zhao Xun and said crying.
"Ruyu?" Zhao Xun suddenly remembered that when he used to live in Pingzhou Zhao Mansion, that lovely little girl, played with him, made zuò sleeve arrows together, rubbed medicine on his wounds because of practicing martial arts, and built a snowman with himself. It's just that an attack that night ruined a qiē.
"Yes! I am Ruyu, Ruyu who has been waiting for the young master for two years. The maid wiped her tears and said in a loud voice.
"This damn Zhao Xun is actually here! It's so outrageous and unreasonable! Li Xinyan on the side looked at Zhao Xun not far away, muttering on his lips, as if he was not abnormal because his maid was talking to others.
"Are you Ruyu?" Zhao Xun was a little incredulous.
"Yes! I made a crossbow with the young master, and the young master practiced martial arts every day, and I remember these clearly. ”
Zhao Ning had never seen Ruyu, so he naturally didn't know who she was, but he also vaguely guessed that this maid should be the maid who was waiting for Zhao Xun in the Zhao Mansion before.
Suddenly, Zhao Xun asked excitedly: "Ruyu, how did you escape?" And what about my father? What about the rest of the Zhao Mansion? Did you escape with you? ”
Ruyu's face was gloomy and she said, "I was rescued, and the others ...... The rest of the people are dead? ”
Zhao Xun muttered to himself: "Also, if my father was still alive, how could he not come to us for so many years." ”
"By the way, who rescued you?" Zhao asked. He also wanted to know how Ruyu could be with Li Xinyan, Li Xinyan knew his own affairs, whether it was as Yu said.
Ruyu glanced at Li Xinyan and found that Li Xinyan had no expression, so she said, "It was ...... by Li Li Gongzi's eldest brother rescued me, I was shot by an arrow that day, I thought I wouldn't survive that night, but I didn't expect Li Gongzi's eldest brother to pass through Pingzhou and save the slave. ”
Zhao Xun glanced at Li Xinyan, and knew from Ruyu's words that this person was not simple, and it was a simple matter to be able to save people from the hands of Ti Qisi. Coupled with the fact that this person knows the secret agents and secret sentinels of the Ti Cavalry Division in Yanzhou City, it shows that this Li Xinyan is by no means an ordinary person. Even after such a long period of secret investigation, the Shadow Guard also vaguely knows a few.
Zhao Xun said lightly: "Ruyu, you have worked hard. Since this is the case, then everyone is misunderstood, it was Zhao before, and Zhao paid Li Gongzi compensation, please forgive me. After speaking, he hugged his fist and saluted Li Xinyan, but there was no apology on his face.
Li Xinyan snorted coldly and said softly: "Fake, no sincerity at all!" Forget it, my son doesn't care about you. The guards behind Li Xinyan also glared at Zhao Xun with ugly faces.
Zhao Xun said disapprehantly: "Then why did Gongzi Li come to me today?" No, it's just to sue me, you know who I am. ”
Li Xinyan sneered: "I thought I wanted to come, but we heard that the commander of the Huolin Army in Yanzhou City is called Zhao Xun, and he has the same name as the young master who Ruyu has been talking about all day, so we want to take a look." What do you think? Are you satisfied? After my brother saved her that day, he never believed that you were dead, for this reason, we have searched for many times, but there is no news, I didn't expect you to run nearly a thousand miles away, what a great thing! ”
When Zhao Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be moved by the little girl at the beginning: "Ruyu, thank you." ”
Ruyu said with a smile on her teardrop face: "If it weren't for the young master, Ruyu would have died a long time ago, and it is Ruyu's honor to be able to do something for the young master." What Ruyu said was that back then, at the gate of Zhao's mansion, where Ruyu was wandering, she fainted from hunger, but Zhao Xun took it in because of compassion in her heart.
Zhao Xun didn't expect that the momentary soft-heartedness of the day would make the little girl return in return.
"Now that the situation in Yanzhou City is not good, why don't you leave?"
Li Xinyan said with a smile: "I just want to see how the army of Yanzhou City is hundreds of people, besides, isn't the commander of your Huolin Army also there." Can you bear to let us be killed by the Tatars? ”
Zhao Xun touched his nose and was speechless, he stayed in Yanzhou City, and at that time, in order to obtain benefits, Qi Yan's own had already gotten it.
"Well, since Li Gongzi is willing to stay in Yanzhou City, let's live in the mansion, and have a good care, after all, Yanzhou City is getting more and more chaotic now."
"Well, I'm looking for a safe place to stay." Li Xinyan was unceremonious.
