Standing six or seven steps away from Liu Wei and the others, the man first glanced at Liu Wei, then turned his head and arched his hand towards Liu Nu, and said to Liu Nu: "The girl hasn't been here for a long time, and Tao'er misses the girl very much." ”

Originally, he felt that the atmosphere was a little tense, Liu Nu was opening his eyes wide, looking at Liu Bian for a while, and looking at the person blocking the way, when he didn't know what to say, when he heard the person mention Tao'er, his eyes lit up instantly, he reached out to hold Liu Bian's arm, and said to Liu Bian coquettishly: "Brother can you go with me to see Tao'er?" ”

Turning his head to look at Liu Nu, and then at the person blocking the intersection head-on, Liu Wei first lowered his eyelids slightly, and after a little thought, he nodded to Liu Nu who was holding his arm.

Sisters Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who were standing behind Liu Wei, pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, staring at the person standing in front of them without blinking, and their eyes showed undisguised vigilance.

The person who blocked Liu Bian's way to the road, saw Liu Bian nodding, looked at him carefully, rolled his eyes, didn't say anything, but stepped aside and made a gesture to Liu Bian and the others.

As soon as he entered the second courtyard, Liu Wei suddenly stopped, because he found this courtyard really strange.

In the second courtyard, there are still no trees and flowers, and there are only two wooden carts, and inside the carts, there are fresh grass that does not grow in the courtyard.

There are no trees, flowers and plants in the courtyard, but there are two large carts of fresh grass, which can only indicate that there must be horses in the backyard.

It is not for nothing that ordinary people raise horses, but the man who led them into the second courtyard has been seen by Liu Wei to have practiced martial arts.

All the links are connected in series, and it is impossible for Liu Wei not to doubt the identity of the owner of this house.

Earlier, when he was in the city, there were also a group of assassins in Luoyang City who went to assassinate him, and the assassins have not surfaced until now.

Quite different from the vigilance of Liu Wei and others, Liu Nu seemed to believe in the man standing in front of him, and when the man stepped aside and stood aside, she took Liu Bian's arm and walked towards the house, and as she walked, she said to the man: "Go back and give you copper coins again." ”

Although the man was wearing a silk coat, he didn't look like he was short of money at all, but when Liu Nu said that he would go back and give him copper money, he still bowed slightly and thanked Liu Nu very respectfully.

Entering the house, Liu Wei, accompanied by Liu Nu, walked forward and asked Liu Nu in a low voice: "What is the strange thing here, worthy of your attention?" Wearing a satin dress, it is really incomprehensible that he cares about your two copper coins. ”

When Liu Wei and the others entered the house, the man in the satin coat also followed, and the man who opened the main door for them stayed outside in the courtyard and did not follow up.

Holding Liu Bian's arm, Liu Nu walked through the inner hall to accompany Liu Bian to a long corridor, and said to Liu Bian: "I don't know much, but I know that Tao'er is very pitiful, she is locked up in the small courtyard all day, and she can't go out to play." originally wanted to take Tao'er back to raise, but he was afraid of being blamed by his brother...... I had to give two copper coins every time I came, so that they could buy some forage for Tao'er......"

Liu Nu's words made Liu Wei say in a fog, and he didn't know what kind of animal she was talking about.

If Tao'er is a war horse, the Huns have grown up on horseback since childhood, and ordinary war horses will definitely not attract the attention of Liunu. Unless Dawan BMW is likely to arouse some interest in Liunu, but Dawan BMW, that is hard to find, not everyone can have.

And the man who accompanied them into the inner house, although his skin was dark, he was not dry, and he did not look like a nomad living in the northern steppes at all.

Although he felt strange in his heart, Liu Wei didn't ask anything, but just continued to move forward along the corridor with Liu Nu.

Just as Liu Wei and the others were about to walk to the end of the corridor, a strange animal cry came into Liu Wei's ears.

Hearing the cry, Liu Wei's eyes widened, and he subconsciously muttered: "Elephant? ”

The man who had been following Liu Wei and the others heard Liu Wei muttering something to himself, he was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously asked Liu Bian: "Your Excellency recognizes the elephant?" ”

The man who fell behind asked, Liu Wei turned his head to look at him, and said to him: "I've seen it before, but I don't know how this Luoyang City is like." ”

"What is an elephant?" Listening to the conversation between Liu Wei and the man, Liu Nu blinked his eyes twice and looked at Liu Wei with a blank expression.

Not only Liu Nu was at a loss, but even Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who were following Liu Wei, were full of doubts.

Elephants grow in the wild land of the south, and most of the barbarians domesticate them for war or reclamation, but the people in the Central Plains and the north have never seen elephants.

It is precisely because of this that when they heard the name elephant, Liu Nu and the Wang sisters both showed the same dazed expressions.

His face was wrapped in gauze, and no one could see what kind of expression Liu Wei was on at this time.

Hearing the cry of an elephant in the backyard, he was basically sure that the man who fell behind him did not covet him, but had other purposes.

The southern barbarians, thousands of miles away from Luoyang, even if they covet it, it must be aimed at the heroes who are also in the south, and they will not come all the way to Luoyang to find him, the king of Luoyang.

"Listening to the scream, it looks like a baby elephant." While walking along the corridor, about to reach the end of the corridor, Liu Wei asked the man again: "If it weren't for the sister-in-law, I haven't heard of the ancient monsters in Luoyang City recently, how did you transport this behemoth into the city?" ”

"Your Excellency will find out later." Liu Wei asked how the man transported the elephant into the city, the man smiled slightly, made a gesture of invitation to him, and said: "Since Your Excellency is the one who knows the elephant, you will no longer hide it, and when you see Tao'er, you will tell your Excellency everything." ”

"Hmm!" Knowing that he couldn't ask anything here, Liu Wei didn't say more, and walked over to the wall in the backyard, accompanied by the man.

When they arrived at the wall, the man led Liu Wei and the others to a small door, opened the small door, and then stood sideways and said to Liu Wei and the others: "Tao'er is inside." ”

Liunu, who had seen baby elephants several times, couldn't wait to run in when the small door opened.

Seeing Liu Nu enter the small door, Liu Wei, Wang Liu, and Wang Zhen also followed in.

As soon as he entered the small door, Liu Wei saw that in the courtyard wall that was built, there was indeed a baby elephant closed.

The baby elephant is not very large, only less than two meters tall, and when Liu Wei and others enter the courtyard wall, the baby elephant is sucking water from a huge stone vessel with its long trunk.

Obviously playing with the baby elephant is very familiar, running in front of the baby elephant, Liu Nu pressed his hands on the baby elephant's body, and put his cheeks on the rough skin of the baby elephant, looking very intimate.

"Two cents a day......" Seeing the baby elephant, Liu Wei shook his head with a smile, as if talking to himself: "Even if it is a baby elephant, two cents a day is probably not enough forage." ”

"Your Excellency said yes!" Liu Wei said this, and the man who followed into the small door had a smile on his face, looked at the little elephant, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "Tao'er's daily consumption of forage and bean grain will cost at least ten yuan. I just saw that the girl liked Tao'er, so I asked her for two pennies, which was considered a girl's adoption. Poor Tao'er was born so gratifying, but no one knew it, and when she arrived in Luoyang, she could only be locked up in a small courtyard, and she didn't dare to show it to others! ”

"Dare to ask Your Excellency if you are a southerner?" Liu Wei turned his head, looked at the man, and said to him: "Elephants are born in the south, and only in the wilderness can they be domesticated......

"Down there are South Vietnamese!" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, the man bowed down with his fists, saluted Liu Wei, and said to him: "In the land of Nanyue, soldiers domesticate war elephants. Now that the Central Plains are constantly being conquered everywhere, I am thinking that if the elephants are sent to the Central Plains, they may be useful. Originally, he brought two elephants to the Central Plains, and first went to see Cao Mengde and Cao Gong, but Cao Gong did not mean to domesticate, but let everyone weigh them, and then raise them in captivity. is such a violent thing, and he really refuses to give Tao'er to him......"

"Uh......" After listening to the man's words, Liu Wei was stunned, and Cao Chong said that the elephant was the elephant sent by the man in front of him.

But according to the age, Cao Chong is only about a year old at the moment, thinking of Cao Chong's age and the image, Liu Wei suddenly has a feeling that his outlook on life has been subverted.

He didn't know that he had come to this era, and he had actually changed a lot of things. Today's Cao Chong is also born a few years earlier than the year he should have been born, so that Cao Chong said that something happened in advance.

"Sir, can you come and talk about it in the house tonight?" Looking at Liu Nu, who was intimate with Tao'er, Liu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said to the man: "If Mr. is trustworthy, you can take Tao'er to the lower house, where there are quite a few places for it to play." ”

"Your Excellency is also a person who loves elephants, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" After getting Liu Wei's invitation, the man hesitated for a moment, then bowed down with his fists and responded to Liu Wei's invitation.

Watching Liu Nu and Tao'er play for a while, feeling that it was meaningless to stay here, Liu Wei greeted Liu Nu, led everyone, said goodbye to the man, and left the house.

Sending Liu Wei and the others out of the house, looking at their backs, the corners of the man's mouth who had been accompanying them pulled out a smug smile.

"Master......" Seeing the man laughing, the man who opened the door for Liu Wei and the others earlier bowed down and asked him very respectfully: "But have you seen the person you want to meet?" ”
