Ma Qiang didn't dare to let Liu Xiu go to Montenegro. www.biquge.info Although they were defeated by Yuan Shao, Huangfu Song and others, their slaughter also aroused the fighting spirit of the Yellow Turban Army, especially the counterattack of the strong Jizhou Haoqiang, so that those displaced people who had just settled down lost their land again, and the hard work of several months came to naught, which made them hate Yuan Shao and others to the core, and wanted to regain the land, they used various methods to rush to Montenegro, and Montenegro replaced Julu and became the new base camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

Whether the yellow scarf can rise again depends on whether it can keep Montenegro. There are now nearly a million displaced people in Montenegro, and if Yuan Shao hadn't had this strength for a while, he would have killed Montenegro a long time ago. At this moment, Ma Qiang couldn't believe Liu Xiu.

"Please wait a few moments, general, and I'll ask Senior Brother Yuansheng to send someone to meet you."

"No, I'm short on time and can't wait here. Since they are in Montenegro, let them go to Handan to find me. ”

"Handan?"

"Didn't you find Yingzi in Handan? Since you want to start from scratch, of course, you have to start with Handan. ”

Ma Qiang hesitated, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. What can Handan find, even if there are any clues, after so many days, it is unrecognizable. However, he still nodded: "Okay, then I will inform Senior Brother Yuansheng to find you in Handan." Be careful, Handan is now under Yuan Shao's control, and if he finds out that you have left an order, he will not be polite to you. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you don't say it, no one will know that I went to Handan." Liu Xiu pursed his lips disapprovingly.

Ma Qiang bowed: "The general said that he was laughing, how can I say it, I just reminded the general to be careful." ”

Liu Xiu smiled and got up to leave. Ma Qiang sent Liu Xiu away, returned to the house, sank his face, called Tang Zhou to him, and said sharply: "I know you hate Liu Xiu, but you have to be clear, I hate Liu Xiu more than you, I don't know why the Son of Heaven sent him to investigate this matter, but since the Son of Heaven wants him to investigate, we can't mess around." You must know that we need the Son of Heaven and his help now more than ever, and the Son of Heaven may not matter, but if Liu Xiu is on fire and the state army kills him from the west, Montenegro will be completely finished. ”

Tang Zhou trembled and bowed down to plead guilty.

……

Handan City, Luo Yao pointed to the alley, a little ashamed: "General, that's where I found Miss Yingzi." ”

Liu Xiu looked at the surrounding terrain, this is a civilian residential area near the city gate, one of the countless residential areas in Handan, and he can't see any characteristics. Handan was once the capital of Zhao during the Warring States Period, with a large scale and a famous commercial city in Hebei. Handan is listed as one of the metropolises. Although it was disturbed by the war, it was quickly restored to calm, and under Yuan Shao's deliberate rectification, there was no trace of the homeless people here.

Liu Xiu walked into the alley and laughed: "You and Zhang Ming are competing in this place, aren't you putting yourself in a disadvantageous place?" ”

Luo Yao smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, I didn't expect so much at the time, and when I was excited, I started with Zhang Ming, and later I thought about it, I was indeed a little negligent at that time." ”

"From this point of view, Yingzi should have entered the city with the displaced people, which is very close to the city gate, and it is also where ordinary people live, and the displaced people will first come here if they want to enter the city. The wealthy have nursing homes at home, and probably won't let these homeless people wander around. ”

Luo Yao nodded and said: "That's true, there are many big families in Handan, and they are very fierce." ”

"Yan Zhao is a martyr, this is normal, if you go further north, there will be more powerful ones."

While they were talking, two young men walked briskly in the distance, and the two Hushi who accompanied them were just about to step forward to intercept them, Liu Xiu saw at a glance that one of them was Lan Lan who was dressed as a man, and hurriedly waved his hand and signaled the Hushi to retreat.

"The general came so quickly." Lan Lan ran out of breath, her cheeks flushed.

Liu Xiu greeted her, and then looked at the young man next to him who was also dressed as a man: "Who is this?" ”

"She is my senior sister, Zhenyan, and she is a person from Changshan Zhending."

"Yan Yan has seen the general." Yu Yan arched her hand, glanced at Liu Xiu with some curiosity, and just met Liu Xiu's unscrupulous gaze, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed. Liu Xiu laughed: "It's really really talented, Beizhong Lang General Zhao Yun is your township party, have you heard of it?" ”

"The Zhao family is a real surname, of course I've heard of it." Zhen Yan said lukewarmly.

Liu Xiu heard that she didn't have a good impression of Haoqiang, so he didn't say any more, turned his face to Lan Lan and said, "Miss Lan, I heard that you and Miss Yang discovered Yingzi together that day, you tell me about the situation again." ”

Lan Lan nodded, and drove Yang Feng here that day, how to find it among the homeless, how to accidentally find out that Tang Yingzi was holding Luo Yao and asking him to compensate him for his steamed cakes, and finally said with a smile: "If it weren't for Uncle Luo stepping on the steamed cakes of the Holy Aunt, it would be difficult for us to notice her." At that time, there were many homeless people here, and the holy aunt had changed her appearance, black and thin, just like a beggar, even if she stood opposite, we might not recognize it. ”

"Really?" Liu Xiu's heart was a little uncomfortable, Yingzi was as fat as a little pig when he was by his side, if she wanted to lose weight, she would have to endure a lot of hardship, otherwise she wouldn't hold Luo Yao for a steamed cake. "Alas, this girl is really hungry."

"No, we want her to go back with us, and her only request is to buy her two steamed flax cakes." Lan Lan remembered the situation at that time, and was also a little embarrassed: "We were worried that she would not will, but we didn't expect it to be so easy, we were really hungry when we thought about it, and we couldn't wait for a moment, so we had to buy it before they were willing to go with us." ”

Liu Xiu's heart suddenly moved: "Is it just two steamed cakes?" ”

"It's just two steamed cakes." Lan Lan suddenly remembered something, "However, she designated the Hu family's restaurant, saying that their family has the most flax, and the steamed cakes are fragrant and crispy." She also made a special effort to put more flax, and we waited there for nearly half an hour for this. ”

"Let's go, go to the Hu family's restaurant." A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Xiu's mouth, he knew that Tang Yingzi didn't actually like flax, and it was impossible for her to delay for so long for more flax when she was dizzy from hunger, there must be some reason why she did this.

Lan Lan didn't know why, but when she hesitated, Liu Xiu had already taken a few steps, and Yan Yan pulled her and said in a low voice: "Let's talk about it first, he seems to have found something." When Lan Lan heard this, she hurriedly followed.

The Hu family's restaurant is in Handan East City, the façade is not big, but the business is good, it has been past breakfast, there are still people eating cakes, a bearded middle-aged man is busy like rain, as soon as he saw Liu Xiu and his entourage Although they were dressed very ordinary, but their bearing was extraordinary, they quickly wiped their hands on the apron, bowed their waists and greeted: "How many people are buying cakes?" I'm sorry, there are only two left. ”

Liu Xiu walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, glanced at the store, and waved his hand: "Everyone, I paid for your cake money, but please go out to eat, I have a few words to say to the shopkeeper." ”

The guests who were blowing cakes looked at each other, took the soup on the table, drank it all, took the cakes, and walked out one by one. When the man saw it, he became even more nervous, and looked at Liu Xiu tremblingly: "Big ...... My lord, what do you command? ”

"Don't be nervous." Liu Xiu glanced at him, and a tiger man took out a handful of money from his arms and threw it on the case, the man glanced at it, and hurriedly said: "Too much, too much, one dollar and one cake, even counting those guests is too much." ”

"For the extra money, I'll buy you a message." Liu Xiu sat down, pushed away the soup bowl on the table, picked up a five-baht coin, and rolled it between his fingers: "I want to ask the shopkeeper to recall, about a year ago, when there were the most homeless people, did any child always put more flax when he bought steamed cakes from you." ”

"More flax?" The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, and shook his head blankly: "No impression, I don't remember such a child." ”

"No?" Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then asked without giving up: "Think about it again, think about it carefully." ”

The shopkeeper blinked his eyes and thought for a long time, but he still shook his head: "It's really not impressive, and after so long, even if there is, I can't remember." ”

Liu Xiu was very disappointed, and his face was a little unsightly. The shopkeeper saw that he was even more nervous, and even his legs began to tremble. Just here, a child came in through the side door and looked at Liu Xiu timidly: "But...... A sister who laughs so loudly? ”

Liu Xiu turned his eyes and saw that it was a little girl about ten years old, hiding behind a young woman, probably the shopkeeper's daughter, he quickly slowed down his expression and said with a smile: "Little girl, you know? ”

The little girl nodded: "I remember, that sister gave me a very sweet fruit to eat, and every time she came to buy bread, she had to put a lot of flax, and I said that we would lose money, and she would not sell it to her, so she would buy two cakes with the money of three loaves at a time." ”

"Oh, I remember." The middle-aged shopkeeper suddenly slapped his thigh: "Yes, there is a little girl who wears a white dress, but the white dress is so dirty that she can't see her face." Every time she bought bread, she asked for a lot of flax. At that time, I saw that although she was very dirty, her clothes were good, and I thought she had escaped from some big family. He paused, and tapped his head with his fingers: "She is not alone, she is with a dirty woman, I don't know who she is, I only know that her name is that woman Ah Ma, that woman likes to eat flax cakes, and then ...... Then the child was gone, and the woman came to me looking for her......"

The shopkeeper suddenly pointed at Lan Lan and woke up like a dream: "It's you...... Took that kid away? ”

"Ahma?" Lan Lan and the others looked at each other, they didn't know what this meant, but Liu Xiu understood it at once, although the child's accent was a little weird, he understood, and he was shocked. Yingzi is a little different from normal people, for example, ordinary people call their brothers big brothers, but Yingzi calls him big brother like Xianbei people, ordinary people call their mothers Grandma, but Yingzi always calls Grandma. But isn't her aunt dead? Why was I with her all of a sudden.

However, if it was really her mother, then everything would be easy to explain.
