Above the Chang'an Market, the peddlers are like carp, shuttling back and forth.

In the tea house in the city, Zhao Xue and Liu Ying sat opposite each other.

The tea soup is thick, floating like a phantom cloud, and the aroma looks at the nostrils of people. The two of them were always motionless, so tacitly that neither of them spoke, and even the clouds and mist in front of them seemed to be frozen, drawing an invisible boundary for the two of them. When did their two 'sisters' who were suffering together suddenly become strangers to this point?

Finally, Zhao Xue spoke first. She pursed her lips, looked at Liu Ying, and said lightly, "Are you still my sister Liu Ying?" ”

Liu Ying was slightly stunned, then shook her head and smiled: "To be precise, Liu Ying is just my pseudonym, so it's not a ......."

“……”

Although Zhao Xue had faintly realized that Liu Ying's purpose in bringing her here was not pure, and even had some deception, she still didn't want to easily erase the 'sisterly' feelings that she had gained from going all the way to Chang'an these days.

She nodded quietly, and said, "Then what is the purpose of persuading me to come to Chang'an?" Do you simply want to join hands with me to help my big brother rescue his parents? ”

When Liu Ying heard this, she shook her head without hesitation and said with a smile: "Joke! Who is Chen Nuo, who has nothing to do with me, why should I help him for no reason? ”

Zhao Xue smirked and nodded: "I think it should be like this, I want to come to Sister Liu Ying, you deliberately approached the eldest brother's camp tent and read irrelevant notes from him, you probably want to get some information from my eldest brother, right?" ”

Liu Ying was slightly stunned, her eyes rolled, and then she smiled: "So you found all this?" Haha, I might as well tell you, these things really don't have a big effect on me, I just want to find out his power, and I'm just a little curious. But what I wonder is, since you know this, why did you stupidly still listen to my words in the end and follow me to Chang'an without hesitation? ”

Zhao Xue smiled: "These are not important, what matters is the information you revealed to me." And because of your information, I got confirmation from the eldest brother that I know that the eldest brother's parents were detained by Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, and it is enough for me to know this. As for some of your other purposes, I don't care. ”

Liu Yingzhe smiled: "Hey, this is probably the so-called care and chaos." I heard others say that Sister Xue is careful when I was in General Chen's big tent before, and I didn't think about it, thinking that I brought you here this time, and you didn't know anything about it. It turned out that I was wrong. Can I think of it now, whether I bring you or you come with me, we are using each other? ”

Zhao Xue didn't deny it, nodded and said, "It's a little bit of a meaning, but what I'm doing is a business with tigers, isn't it?" ”

"Bang Bang!"

Liu Ying's two wrists were lightly raised, and the two phases of flesh struck, making a sharp sound.

Liu Ying said with a smile: "It's a good one to seek skin with the tiger, I think Sister Xue knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the Tiger Mountain, she is really bold and courageous, I admire Sister Xue even more!" ”

Zhao Xue didn't move, but the corners of her mouth were slightly together, and she said with a smile: "So, Sister Liu Ying, can you tell me what your relationship with Dong Zhuo is, or the purpose of your trip to lure me." ”

"Of course!"

Liu Ying nodded lightly and said, "Of course I can tell you." Actually, as I said before, I don't have much to do with Dong Zhuo, he just saved my life, and what I did was just to repay him a 'favor'. ”

When Liu Ying said this, she stood up and paced: "This matter has to start from last year. Last year, I had a bit of an awkward fight with my father and ran out in a fit of rage. You may not know that I just like to fool around outside, and this time I ran out through several cities in one go, traveling hundreds of miles, and I didn't want to meet a group of bandits halfway. At that time, I almost died at the hands of the bandits, but in the end, I was met by Dong Zhuo's car and rescued me. After that, I thought I was going back, who knows, who knows......"

Zhao Xue stopped when she heard what she wanted to say, and then saw that her cheeks were flushed, and she suddenly understood, and said: "I think that Dong Zhuo is not a good thing, he probably fell in love with Sister Liu Ying's appearance when he rescued you, right?" You fell into his hands at that time, so naturally he didn't let Sister Liu Ying go so easily. ”

Liu Ying was told by Zhao Xue, so she had to nod shyly, and then said: "He has a request, of course I can't agree to him, so I will stalemate with him." If he persists me, I will threaten me with death......"

Zhao Xue thought for a while and said, "But people say that Dong Zhuo's old puppet doesn't blink when he kills people, if you don't obey him, can he really not move Sister Liu Ying if you threaten him?" I'm afraid this isn't Dong Zhuo's thief's personality, right? ”

Liu Ying glanced at her and said, "You're right, if you threaten death, I'm afraid I don't know how many times I've died." After I was the only one who I really was, he was forced by my father's power, and naturally, he didn't dare to touch me at will. ”

Zhao Xue glanced at her, she still hasn't said her real name, she doesn't say it, she can't ask, but I don't know what Liu Ying's identity is, why Dong Zhuo is jealous.

Zhao Xue thought for a while and asked, "Then what about later, it is impossible for him to detain you all the time, right?" ”

"Of course you can't ......"

Liu Ying said this, and then said: "After that, it's because of your good big brother......"

"My big brother?"

Zhao Xue bit her lip and asked with some puzzlement: "What does this have to do with my eldest brother?" ”

Liu Ying sighed lightly and said quietly: "Of course it's related." You don't know, one day, Dong Zhuo suddenly found me and said to me that he could not continue to embarrass me, but he had to do something for him. He said that as long as this matter is done for him, there will naturally be a clear balance between me and him, and we will not owe each other. ”

Zhao Xue also guessed at once: "Then what he ordered you ......?"

Looking at Zhao Xue's eyes, Liu Ying nodded lightly and said, "Not bad!" He asked me to sneak up on your big brother and assassinate you. ”

"Assassinate my big brother?"

Although she knew that this was probably the case, Zhao Xue still didn't believe it: "Dong Zhuo, he has controlled my eldest brother's parents, why would he let you assassinate my eldest brother?" ”

Liu Ying shook her head lightly and frowned: "I only know that before Dong Zhuo asked me to make a move, he once sent a person named Li Su to let him go to Yuyuan Pass. As for the purpose, I guess I want to win over your big brother. After this incident, Dong Zhuo seems to have sent several batches of people to your eldest brother's army, but in the end, they were all unceremoniously brought back by your eldest brother, probably because of that incident, which completely angered Dong Zhuo and made Dong Zhuo determined to kill him. That's when he probably thought of me. And he, knowing that I have some martial arts, is ......"

Speaking of the word 'again', Liu Ying stopped again, and without asking, looking at her shyness, Zhao Xue said, "I understand!" Thinking about Sister Liu Ying, you are not only good at martial arts, but also so beautiful, Dong Zhuo asked you to make a move, just to let you use the beauty trick to confuse my big brother, and then assassinate my big brother while the big brother is obsessed, right? ”

Liu Ying's face turned red and said, "That's probably what it means." But before he let me out, he forced me to swear a poisonous oath in the name of my family, and I must kill your eldest brother......"

Zhao Xue seemed to understand something when she heard this, nodded her head, and said, "Then ...... after you?"

Liu Ying sighed lightly, sat back on the pu mat, and said, "After that, I took the task of assassinating your eldest brother and set off from Chang'an all the way over. Of course, before this, I deliberately collected some information about your big brother and got to know your big brother a little bit. At that time, your eldest brother was on the battlefield in Guangchuan, and it was difficult for me to go directly, but I knew from the information that your eldest brother had been kind to Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, and he was very able to say it, so I wanted to use this as a breakthrough to get close to your eldest brother. In order to make it easier to act, I made up the identity of the song and dance girl, and told outsiders that I had mixed in the Luoyang Song and Dance Workshop before, and because of the Luoyang fire, I fled here, and fortunately, I had been somewhat influenced by singing and dancing before, and I was not seen through by Yuan Tan, and I was taken in the house. And a few months later, it happened that your eldest brother came back from the battlefield and arrived at Yuan Tan's mansion, and I was fortunate to be selected by your eldest brother at that time, and I was successfully transferred from Yuan Tan's hands to your eldest brother's hands. ”

Zhao Xue nodded and said: "After that, it's just that you don't have extra time to get close to my eldest brother, and you follow me all the time, so you have less chance to get close to him, so your beauty seems to be a little out of ......."

Liu Ying smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that when Yuan Tan gave me generously to your eldest brother, he would never have thought that he would give me to your eldest brother, and your eldest brother just regarded me as a little woman who can accompany you, chat with you, and relieve your boredom, where did he ever look at me more?" Probably, maybe he thinks I'm not good enough to make him feel excited......"

Zhao Xue saw that her expression was a little dazed, and there was clearly some resentment in her eyes, so she couldn't help but ask her: "Liu ...... Sister Ying, you, are you in love with my big brother? ”

Liu Ying was out of her mind and let out a soft "um", but then quickly shook her head, her face turned red, and quickly explained: "How can this be!" Sister Xue, don't think about it! I'm not going to rob you of my big brother. ”

Zhao Xue sighed lightly in her mouth, rolled her eyes, and muttered: "But that day, Sister Ying, you are in the big brother's tent, I have been hiding behind the screen because it is inconvenient to come out, and the eldest brother has not seen me, thinking that I have not met you yet, so the eldest brother wants you to go back to my tent first and wait for me." At that time, although you listened to the words of your eldest brother, I clearly saw a trace of loneliness on your face behind the screen, and you still said that you didn't like my eldest brother? If you don't like my big brother, why are you a little jealous? ”

"Jealous?"

Liu Ying was dumbfounded, she didn't know that Zhao Xue heard this jealousy from Chen Nuo's mouth. However, when I heard her mention it, I also thought about it. At that time, she marched with Zhao Xue, escorting grain and grass all the way to Guangzong, and on the way, because Chen Nuo sent troops to rescue Lu Yi, causing the brigade to be attacked by Gongsun Fan's light cavalry, she was also captured by thieves in that battle, and finally finally got out of trouble and came back. And she, because she had been away from the camp for a few days, asked Chen Nuo to report as soon as she returned to the camp. It's just that she didn't expect that Zhao Xue was preparing to bathe in Chen Nuo's tent at that time, and she had a rare opportunity to take the opportunity to reveal the matter about Chen Nuo's parents to Zhao Xue. Only when Chen Nuo came back, Zhao Xue was inconvenient to come out on the couch, so she had to come out by herself, pretending not to see Zhao Xue. I thought that now that I had the opportunity to be alone with Chen Nuo, I could talk to him about some confidant words, but I didn't expect Chen Nuo to send her away with a few casual words at that time, and she was disappointed for a while. Only she didn't expect that her subtle expression at that time was easily noticed by Zhao Xue, and Zhao Xue was really careful.

Of course, before she decided to reveal the matter of Chen Nuo's parents to Zhao Xue, she vaguely felt that after getting along with Chen Nuo these days, although there were not many opportunities for contact between them, she didn't know why she couldn't do this. So, she had no choice but to retreat and convince herself not to do anything to Chen Nuo, but she thought about deceiving Chen Nuo's love, and then handed her over to Dong Zhuo, so that her task was barely completed.

However, after getting along with Zhao Xue all the way, the feelings of suffering with each other inevitably increased day by day, and she had a headache for Zhao Xue. While thinking about giving her to Dong Zhuo, he also thought that he really shouldn't do this. So, in the struggle, she deliberately delayed the days of entering Chang'an, in order to face these a day later, which is the main reason why they walked for several months from Guangzong to Chang'an. And she, after entering Chang'an, couldn't make up her mind, and finally was forced to 'swear a poisonous oath', so she could only grit her teeth and decide to 'betray' Zhao Xue to Dong Zhuo, so as not to owe Dong Zhuo. The day after entering Chang'an, the two of them agreed to meet.

However, this matter was not completed, because Liu Ying suddenly repented again, and she changed her mind and took Zhao Xue away. This incident was experienced by Zhao Xue herself, just yesterday, she and Liu Ying wandered in a wine shop in the east of the city for half an hour. Although Zhao Xue was anxious about the safety of Chen Nuo's parents at that time, and wondered why Liu Ying brought her here, she finally chose to sit down with peace of mind to see what Liu Ying was going to do. And she may not know at the time that if she Liu Ying had strengthened her mind, she might have been taken away by the 'connector' sent by Dong Zhuo after waiting for a while.

However, none of this happened in the end, and Zhao Xue was a little puzzled: "Why did you choose to give up in the end?" ”

Liu Ying glanced at Zhao Xue and sighed lightly: "Because, I suddenly feel that it is really unfair to you that I am doing this, and I can't choose to harm others because of my cowardice!" ”

At this moment, Zhao Xue's body couldn't help but move slightly. looked at her and shouted, "Sister Ying! "But if you do this, you are going to break your oath, this is ......."

The oath, although it is just a casual statement, is very important when there is a Han. After all, in that troubled world, human life is like a mustard, and it is very common for people to die day and night, and only 'gods and ghosts' can entrust their spiritual world, so that they don't feel so confused. They have great faith in the 'gods and ghosts', and after making an oath to the 'gods and ghosts', they naturally dare not break it easily.

When Liu Ying heard Zhao Xue say, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Have you forgotten what happened before?" ”

"Before?"

Zhao Xue suddenly remembered the previous incident where the Taoist in the market held two 'mouths', and her eyes couldn't help but round: "You mean ......?"

Liu Ying smiled and said, "Yes! It's still the same as before, I just want to repay Dong Zhuo a 'favor', as for whether he can understand the implication in this, this is his business. Therefore, after this incident, he and I are already indebted, and we are not afraid of that 'poisonous oath'. However, you must be very strange to look at your eyes, why did I remind him to guard against Lu Bu, right? Actually, it's not difficult, because I accidentally bumped into Lu Bu last night, and then followed Lu Bu all the way to the mansion of Dong Zhuo's henchman Li Ru. It was at that time that I saw Lu Bu personally slaughtering Li Ru, and I was keenly aware of some of the inside stories. ”

Speaking of this, she sighed lightly, "Perhaps, this Lu Bu killed Li Ru and opposed Dong Zhuo, and Chang'an is about to change." ”

Zhao Xue was shocked when she heard it: "This, won't it?" How dare he Lu Bu do this? ”

Cha!

The sky over Chang'an was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunder.

The sky has changed!

Zhao Xue raised her head and looked at Liu Ying in surprise. At this moment, Chang'an Avenue, where I saw the flow of people, suddenly became lively. I saw the flying cavalry galloping forward, and the cavalry immediately held a silk book, shouting along the road: "The anti-thief Dong Zhuo ambushed the Beiye Gate, and the Son of Heaven ordered Chang'an City to cancel the curfew for three days to celebrate!" ”

Hearing 'Dong Zhuo's Fu Xu', Zhao Xue suddenly took a breath of cool air and turned to look at Liu Ying.

Liu Ying smiled lightly, didn't say anything, picked up the tea soup, and drank it gently, so she didn't enjoy it.

"Dong Zhuo is dead? Dong Zhuo is dead? Sister, I heard you right, right? Zhao Xue muttered, a little unable to react. In her opinion, Dong Zhuo came from the west, and took advantage of the chaos in the Han family to lead the army of the Xiliang Tiger and Wolf into Luoyang. Abolish the young emperor first, and then set up Chen Liu. The ASEAN army came, burned Luoyang and went to Chang'an. He controls the Son of Heaven and does almost everything, wanting wind and rain to get rain, and those who don't accept it often have only a dead end. And he himself, who rose from a martial artist to a taishi, even had rumors of usurpation. And his family, because of him, the chicken and dog ascended to heaven, and everyone worshiped the marquis, even the children in the arms of the concubines could be named marquises, and they were hung with gold and purple.

And is such an unstoppable character, who actually said that he would die when he died? It's unbelievable!

And Chang'an Shishu, when he heard the news of Dong Zhuo's death, he was suddenly in a hurry, and everyone was running and calling each other, so it was not lively!

Zhao Xue was stunned for a while, suddenly thought of something, and asked instead: "However, Dong Zhuo is dead, what should the eldest brother and his family do?" ”

"Don't worry, isn't it me?" Liu Yingying smiled.

"You, will you help me?" Zhao Xue hesitated.

Liu Ying bowed her head and said, "Of course! I made the mistake of assassinating your eldest brother for the sake of my own life, and then I deceived you all the way over, even if you don't say it, I will give you an explanation. So, let me help you find your big brother's parents together, okay? Even if it's my amend-up to you. ”
