Chapter Ninety-One: The Visitor
Carefully calculated, the location of Hua Hate Liu and his party when they were assassinated was less than ten miles away from the township. After a few more miles, Liu Fengxian, the "captain" of the greeting brigade sent by the township and city, stepped forward to report that Yang Rui, the current acting city lord of the township and the younger elder of the Yang clan, was leading people out of the city three miles to greet him, and was currently waiting less than ten zhang away.
This made Hua Qiliu, who wanted to continue to be sleepy, have to cheer up, pull up Yang Jian, who was reluctant to go out, and the two led in front, and the carriage followed behind the two people, slowly leaning towards Yang Rui's team.
For Yang Rui, Hua Hate Liu didn't know anything else, only that Yang Rui had previously served as a commander in the army of Yang Jian's commander - this was a common practice for the various clans of the Yang clan to infiltrate and monitor each other, if it weren't for the fact that the Xizhou City clan where Yang Wu was located was too small in number to take care of at all, Yang Wu would also consider sending the clan's descendants to other clans to take up some positions.
Yang Jian is reluctant, and it is precisely because of this. When he was in the army, he Yang Rui and Yang Xian were difficult thorns, Yang Xian was clearly opposed, and as long as he was unwilling to do anything, he would pick on the spot to make people look good; But Yang Rui is different, he agrees well on the spot, but once he fails to implement his wishes, he will grind hard and use the word "drag", which is often wrong.
Even so, what the two of them did was acquiesced by the family, and Yang Jian could only see it in his eyes and be angry in his heart, except for forbearance, there was no way at all.
If one of them is an elder and the other is still a thousand households or generals, then they can ignore each other, but now it happens that the two of them are both elders, so they have to meet each other no matter what.
Besides, now that he is asking for the countryside, Yang Jian is reluctant to meet this time.
"It's been a long time since the township has been so lively, and the five elders and the sixth elders have made our place shine!" It was still far away, so Yang Duan took the initiative to drive forward and walked two feet away in front of the two of them, and said while dismounting.
"The Seventh Elder is polite!" Hua Hate Liu smiled at him and arched his hand: "It's that our line of business will still bother you here for a few days, I hope that the Seventh Elder will not clean the house and drive people out in advance!" ”
"Haha! This is where the words are! Yang Duan heard Hua Hate Liu say this, and also felt that this person was really interesting, although he had no direct contact with Hua Hate Liu in Xizhou City, but he had also heard of Hua Hate Liu's "heroic deeds", and he was no less curious about the next head of Si Chou Zhai and the son-in-law of the Yang family who had not passed through the door than others. "If the two of you are willing, it doesn't hurt to live permanently, but I'm afraid that the city lord and patriarch will personally come to ask Yang Rui about someone!"
He called Yang Wu "City Lord", on the one hand, to show that he had not forgotten that he had been in Xizhou City, which was an indirect recognition of Yang Wu's status, and on the other hand, he also took the initiative to show favor and get closer to the relationship with Hua Hate Liu; And the "patriarch" who is called at the moment naturally will no longer refer to Yang Wu, but the great elder Yang Duan, who took over the position of the patriarch after the first half of the year, and has now begun to fulfill the responsibility of the patriarch.
"When Yang Rui was in the army, he also had to make some gestures due to family reasons, so he had a collision with the general, please don't mind the six elders!" As if knowing that he was not treated by Yang Jian, after greeting Hua Hate Liu, he apologized to Yang Jian again.
"Naturally not." Yang Jian was still going to put on that expression of being in front of everyone and answer indifferently, but he didn't intend to see Hua Hate Liu next to him looking at him with a disdainful look, and his face was immediately annoyed, and the words he said naturally brought out a little annoyance.
"It couldn't be better." Yang Duan thought that this anger was aimed at himself, half of his heart was helpless, and the other half was also worried that Yang Jian would be troubled on the spot, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "I don't know that the person in this car is an envoy from Xiyue?" ”
"Yuqing also heard the name of the Seventh Elder when she was in Xizhou, and this trip is disturbing, please forgive the Seventh Elder!" In the original plan, the things on the field should have been done by Bai Keqi, but since just now, everyone has not found any trace of him while rushing to find someone, so Princess Yuqing herself has to respond.
"This ...... The princess has a good reputation, I hope that this time the princess can see more in the countryside, presumably in the future, Xizhou and your country can also get along amicably, and benefit the border people. It seems that Yang Rui's words should not be said in public, after all, even if there is more hatred and dissatisfaction with Xiyue, he should say it in private, and it is really inappropriate to say it in front of others - this is still the result of Yang Rui's listening to the answer is a woman, and his tone has been slightly restrained.
"What the Seventh Elder said is that Yuqing also has this intention." Princess Yuqing didn't have any big ups and downs in her love as Yang Rui expected, but responded politely, which also made Yang Rui have a kind of strength to hit the cotton, and then said to Hua Ha Liu: "More than 1,000 soldiers who set off from Xizhou City before yesterday have also arrived in the countryside the day before yesterday, and General Zang Keqin is waiting in front now, why don't we go and have a look?" ”
"It's good!" Hua hated Liu and Yang Jian with a look, and the two followed Yang Rui one by one and saw Zang Keqin and others who came to greet him.
When she entered the rural city, Hua Hatliu was so cold that she felt that her body was about to go numb, so she didn't even take a closer look at the scenery along the way, stumbled into the arranged cabin, closed the door, and directly refused the dinner arranged by Yang Rui.
"You don't have to think about it, I just didn't know a few things about you."
In the room, more than a dozen candles are scattered around, illuminating the room as bright as day. Hua hated Liu sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt and joked to Yang Jian who looked sluggish.
"Are you really cold or are you fake cold?" Yang Jian looked at the flower hating willow in front of him with a rolled zongzi, and couldn't help but be curious.
"There are real and false!" Hua Hate Liu sighed, just now he signaled Hua Yuchi to call Yang Jiandu, but he was stared at by the other party for a while! At this moment, if she knew that she was talking to Yang Jian in bed, I don't know what kind of inexplicable story would come out!
"What did Wei Zheng do?" Hua Hate Liu thought about it and decided to determine the whereabouts of her own side first.
"Naturally, I went to find out where the assassin came from!" Yang Jian was a little surprised that Hua Hate Liu was able to detect that Wei Zheng was no longer in the Black Feather Guard, and regardless of how he knew, looking at his expression, it seemed that his answer was already within his conjecture.
As the two said, after the assassination occurred, She Qing arrived, Liu Feng arrived first, and Hei Yuwei and the others arrived, but they didn't see Wei Zheng - even if he didn't show his true face at the beginning, Hua Hate Liu was confident that he could still find Wei Zhengcun's "potential" among the people present.
Since Niu Wangqiu made a great improvement in his "potential", Hua Hyanliu has been trying to understand and excavate "potential" through his own personal practice, and his perception of "potential" is only one of his many discoveries, to put it bluntly, it is just a person's "breath".
Wei Zheng may be able to change his body shape through guò shrinking bones, change his appearance through makeup or disguise masks, change his voice through guò control zhì vocal cords, and change his gestures by imitating him, but he can't change his breath! Whether a person is full of righteousness or gloom, friendly to others or evil to others, he can figure out a little.
Wei Zheng left a very deep impression on his "cautiousness", and he firmly believed that people who did dangerous "business" like Wei Zheng should be much more cautious than ordinary people in their personalities.
"His whereabouts have always been erratic, so although he is outstanding, he has only fulfilled the position of the leader of the 100-person squad at best...... Yang Jian explained.
"If you're going to trust a cadre of elites to a boss who will disappear at any time?" Hua hated Liu said with a smile, this Wei Zheng is the so-called "art master bold", he didn't even say anything and left the team to act without authorization, presumably no matter what kind of leader he is, he will have a headache for having such subordinates! He was able to get to where he is today, and as he said, he was just "luckier than the average person."
"Do you still think that you don't know who this assassination is specifically targeting?" Seeing Yang Jian's embarrassed appearance, Hua Hate Liu immediately just smiled and asked about another matter.
"Isn't this already said?" Yang Jian listened to Hua Hate Liu's question, and said puzzledly: "Naturally, we can't ask who instructed a dead person, if we leave a living mouth, it may be much easier...... Do you think it's the ...... of Western Vietnam?"
"Don't think about it!" Seeing that Yang Jian had the appearance of starting to guess at random, Hua Hate Liu hurriedly waved his hand to stop, and said: "I did have this idea at first, you think that after all, it was the sunspot who killed that person, and it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of murder......
"Since that's the case......" Yang Jian also felt that it was not wrong to think this way, but he didn't know why Hua Hate Liu said that he "did have this idea" at the beginning.
"Later, I thought about it and felt that it would be really stupid to guess that it was Xiyue's doing...... Well, I mean myself. Originally, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but knowing that seeing Yang's eyes that were spewing fire briefly, Hua Hate Liu realized that the expression in his words was slightly inappropriate, and immediately smiled bitterly and agreed to it.
"You think, our trip is to discuss cooperation with Xiyue, and the conditions also mention helping Xiyue get rid of future troubles, so there is no need to deliberately create a false impression that we think that it is the Tietuo King's faction or other forces that are not good for us, this is completely redundant! Once we don't do it well, just as we will naturally suspect the people of the West and Vietnam at the beginning, if we don't do it well, we will get into trouble, which is not conducive to cooperation between the two sides. If you were the West Vietnamese group, would you do that? ”
"Probably...... No way! Yang Jian replied hesitantly, but he was secretly slandering in his heart: Nonsense, you said that this is a stupid practice, and I don't say anything else is not self-inflicted?
"And who do you think it is?" She asked.
"I don't know." Hua hated Liu shrugged his shoulders and said honestly.
"You ......" Yang Jian was sure that Hua Hate Liu was definitely a person who had nothing to do in his bones, since he didn't know, don't start this, why bother looking for it yourself!
"Mr. Flower, is he resting? Yuqing has something to ask to see. ”
Just as the two of them stared at each other and didn't speak to each other, the voice from outside the door made the two suddenly wonder: At this time, what is Princess Yuqing doing here?
