Chapter 24: Something Happened during the New Year (2)!
"Brother Rui?" Cao Jie looked at Lu Rui stunned and called Lu Rui.
"Brother Rui, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that when I heard what happened to Sister Xiahou, I felt a little emotional, the troubled times, let our relatives leave us, it's really a trick." Of course, Lu Rui couldn't say what he thought in his heart, so he had to find a reason to prevaricate in the past.
"Brother Rui, Jie'er went to find my sister and sister." Cao Jie knew that there must be something delicious in Lu Rui's side hall, so he couldn't help it.
"Go ahead, Jie'er, I've got your favorite pastry for you."
"Thank you, Brother Rui."
"Sister Xiahou, let's go." After speaking, he took Xiahou to the side hall, leaving only some firewood in the main hall.
Looking at the firewood, Lu Rui shook his head helplessly and said, "Evil, carry the firewood down." ”
"Yes, Master Hou!" After saying that, Dian Wei carried the firewood on his shoulder and headed to the kitchen.
"Murong Ping!"
"The subordinates are here!" Murong Ping clenched his fists and replied to Lu Rui.
Lu Rui looked at Murong Ping, nodded and said, "Did the Xiahou clan see it just now?" Remember? ”
"The subordinates have a good memory, remember."
"Well, in the future, when the young lady of the Cao family, especially Miss Cao Jie, goes out, you have to send our guards to follow, send more people, and don't let them have an accident."
"Yes, Master Hou!"
"What about the young lady of the Xiahou family?"
"Miss Xiahou's family, you go and follow in person, be careful not to be discovered, it's best to figure out her route to pick up firewood, and then draw a map and give it to me."
"Bring more people, don't let the young lady of the Xiahou family have an accident, if the young lady of the Xiahou family leaves Xu Du alone, send troops to follow, remember, bring more people"
"Yes, Master Hou, my subordinates will definitely protect the young lady of the Xiahou family!"
"Well, let's go down!" Murong Ping is calm, and it is best to leave this matter to him.
Zhang Fei? What if you come and rob a woman? I want you to die in my hands, I can't clean up Liu Da'er, it's okay to clean up your paintings, paint beautiful pictures? Draw you to death!
After dealing with the affairs of the Xiahou family, Lu Rui chatted with the juniors of the Cao family, and everyone went to dinner together.
"Master Hou, this is the road map for Miss Xiahou to go out to pick up firewood, please take a look!"
Murong Ping was really effective, and it only took a few days to figure it out. Lu Rui looked at the route map and nodded, there was a route on the map, as well as a geographical marker, or a time description. Under Xu Shu's teaching, Murong Ping really became an intelligence master.
"Miss Xiahou's family, have you been collecting firewood in recent days?"
"Yes, Master Hou!" Looking at the description on the picture, Lu Rui's brows tightened, Xiahou's family went out to pick up firewood is really frequent, so there are many dangers, if he encounters danger before meeting Zhang Fei, then Lu Rui's plan will fail, who knows if his butterfly benefits will affect Xiahou's family!
"Master Hou?"
"Murong Ping, you continue to follow the young lady of the Xiahou family, the route map should be more detailed, this Hou Ye is useful!"
"Yes, Master Hou!" In the following days, Lu Rui waited for Murong Ping's drawings, and then analyzed the process of Zhang Fei's robbery of the Xiahou clan in the study.
Lu Rui bit the brush and dragged his chin to think:
First of all, why did Zhang Fei come to the vicinity of Xudu? It should be that he was separated from Liu Bei, and the news was not clear, so he came to look for Liu Bei.
Secondly, the people led by Zhang Fei must not be, it is estimated that they are only dozens of cavalry, after all, it is Xu Du, and if they are discovered by the patrol, they may be missed.
Finally, it is very likely that the location of the loot should be in the woods near the official road, because it is impossible for Zhang Fei to wander around in front of the Xudu patrol.
All right! Circle a few possible locations with cinnabar, arrange some people to figure out the situation, set traps, and Zhang Fei should be here in a few months.
In Xiahou Yuan's house, Xiahou Yuan's family was eating around the big table.
"Sister, eat more." Xiahou Ba gave Xiahou a mouthful of wild vegetables.
"Thank you, second brother."
"Little sister, you have to eat more, your body is so weak, and you still have to go and collect firewood." Xiahou Yuan looked at his niece with concern.
"The second uncle is serious, the niece is raised by you in your home, and she is more kind, and the younger brother is still there."
Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, Xiahou Yuan's young son starved to death in order to feed the Xiahou clan. Thinking of this, Ding (Xiahou Yuan's wife, Ding Laohu's sister) shed tears again.
"Alas, don't mention the past!" Xiahou Yuan scolded, and everyone fell silent.
"Sister, you have been picking up firewood recently, and it seems that there is a lot less, is there something wrong?" Xiahou Rong broke the embarrassing situation.
"By the way, sister, when you went home just now, you looked out of the house, is there something wrong?" Xiahou Hui also remembered Xiahou's unusual behavior.
"Oh? Little sister? Is something wrong? Xiahou Yuan asked with concern, Xiahou is the only descendant of his brother, if something happens, what kind of face will he have to go underground to see his brother after he dies!
"Uncle, I don't know if I'm being followed, maybe I'm suspicious." Xiahou said uncertainly.
Looking at Xiahou Yuan's sad face, Xiahou Yuan was furious and scolded: "Who dares to follow my niece, there are still such people in Xu Du?" ”
"Sister, don't be afraid, brother is here to protect my sister!" Xiahou and the first one stood up.
"Sister is not afraid, Brother Ba protects you!" Xiahou Ba waved the wooden sword in his hand and danced in front of Xiahou.
"This. Second uncle, niece is still not sure, second uncle? ”
"Hmph, little sister, don't be afraid, Uncle is going to catch this person today, the men of the Xiahou family are all up and arrest people!"
"Good!" The children of the Xiahou family all applauded, and just like that, the plan to round up the stalkers began.
"Brother, let's go out and collect firewood!" Xiahou took Xiahou and Xiahou Rong out of the city to pick up firewood as usual.
Murong Ping, as usual, followed behind the Xiahou clan.
"Father, someone is really following my sister!" Xiahou Hui whispered to Xiahou Yuan.
"Well, let's slow down, and then follow, do you know your sister's route to pick up firewood?"
"The child knows, and I have discussed it with my sister!"
"Well, slow down, put a certain distance, and we'll keep up."
"Yes, Father!" Xiahou Yuan took the rest of the Xiahou boys and started the game of cat and mouse.
Murong Ping followed out of the city from inside the city, and from time to time he looked back vigilantly around, and after making sure that no one was following, he followed the Xiahou clan with all his attention, and began to memorize the route in his heart.
"Father, it's a chance, there's a fork in the road, our brothers surround him and catch him!"
Xiahou Yuan looked at a few children, they are all over ten years old, and they can do it!
"Okay, be careful!" The Xiahou boys ran to the fork in front of them to arrange.
As soon as Murong Ping arrived at the fork, the children of the Xiahou family rushed out, and before Murong Ping could react, he was beaten and put into a sack.
"Father, it's done!" The eldest Xiahou Heng showed off to his father.
"Okay, find the little sister, let's go home and interrogate to see who dares to hit my Xiahou family's attention!"
"Yes, Father!"
"Bring someone to me, and I'll see who is touching my Xiahou family's attention!"
"Yes, Father!" Xiahou Heng and a group of younger brothers came to the main hall of Xiahou Mansion with a sack.
Xiahou Ba tore the sack, and then Murong Ping appeared in front of everyone.
"Murong Ping! It's you! Xiahou Yuan was taken aback when he saw Murong Ping, he was actually Lu Rui's henchman, Murong Ping, could it be that Lu Rui paid attention to his little sister?
"Murong Ping has seen General Xiahou! Forgive the villain for not being able to give the adult a full salute! "Murong Ping still understands the rules very well.
"The general knows this person?" Ding asked Xiahou Yuan suspiciously.
"This person, this person is one of the chief guards of Rui'er's Mansion, a confidant!"
"Lu Rui's henchman? The adopted son of the eldest brother, the little marquis of the big man? ”
"Exactly!"
"Hmph, I don't care what kind of person he is from the Hou Ye's mansion, if he provokes my Xiahou family, he is looking for death. Bastard, tell me quickly, what are your intentions to stalk my little sister! "Ding Erhu is really Ding Laohu's sister, strong enough.
"It's our Hou Master who asked me to track and protect Miss Xiahou!" Then Murong Ping told what happened, and also mentioned that the young lady of the Cao family was also secretly protected.
"This?" Xiahou Yuan couldn't figure it out, Lu Rui protected the woman of the Cao family, it was excusable, aside from Cao Cao's relationship, there was still Cao Jie, but it would be very strange to protect the little sister of his family.
"Madame, what do you see?"
"Little sister, have you ever known Lu Rui, the little marquis of the Cao family?" Ding asked Xiahou gently.
"This. The niece only met Lu Rui once, that is, in the Cao Mansion a few years ago, the Cao family played in his mansion, and the niece only met once. The Xiahou clan couldn't understand why Lu Rui would send someone to follow him.
"Madam, General Ben doesn't understand, why Rui'er?"
"Hmph, you men don't have a good thing, they're all perverts!" Ding Erhu scolded Xiahou Yuan.
"Ahh Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, why did you come to me again, isn't it to discuss things!
"Your eldest brother, my good brother-in-law, what was it like when you were young, would you not know, and Yuan Benchu's affairs, you don't know, why did you go to prison in the first place?" Ding Erhu asked Xiahou Yuan strangely.
Xiahou Yuan was speechless when he heard it, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were often engaged in other people's daughters-in-law, once Lao Cao got angry and messed with others, so he went to smash people and was wanted by the government. Or Xiahou Yuan went to the cell to sit in prison for a while, and went through a scene to solve the matter!
Could it be that Rui'er has taken a fancy to our little sister? I want to learn how to my big brother, this, big brother, you don't teach something good!
"Hmph, general, I don't care about the Cao family and the little marquis, I'll go to the eldest sister and ask for an explanation!" Ding Erhu ignored so much and walked out of the hall with Xiahou's family.
"Yes, ma'am, let's go together!" Xiahou Yuan immediately followed Ding Erhu and took a group of little children from Xiahou's family to the Cao family in a hurry.
Lu Rui was enjoying Diao Chan's massage in Cao's Mansion, and the fruit that Ling'er peeled was so unhappy, he didn't know that big trouble was coming!
