Chapter 220: You Help Me, I'll Help You
Liu Liniang saw that Liu Yu was pretending to be presentable, glanced at him, and said with a thin anger on her face: "You are not small, dare to come here." Even if you don't meet the slave family, you think no one knows you? ”
Liu Yuxin said that this should be recognized, and pretended to be puzzled: "Miss Liu, you ......"
"It seems that you will only admit it if the slave family plucks the beard off your face with his own hands, but declare in advance that the slave family will not be able to glue it to you again."
Seeing Liu Yu hurriedly holding her chin with her hands, Liu Liniang "Poof!" "Laughing, there is a bit of the charm of the daughter's family.
"The big husband can bend and stretch, and if you want to kill, you have to listen to it!" Liu Yue straightened his waist and said.
"Who wants to kill you and chop you, why did Meng Xiang want to keep me here?"
Liu Yu shook his head in confusion.
"He wants me to take the opportunity to win you over and let you work for King Huai."
Liu Yu was puzzled at this time, Meng Chuliang had only seen him once, and after playing a game of chess with him, it would come to such a serious point?
"Why?"
"Because you can't rest anywhere you go." Seeing the embarrassment on Liu Yu's face, Liu Liniang's face seemed to be very happy, "Actually, it's not because of your identity, there is a shortage of war horses in Huaidi now, and you, a businessman, often go to the north......"
Liu Liniang didn't say any more, Liu Yu nodded and understood, Meng Chuliang wanted to form a connection with the Turks through him and use his channels to buy war horses. To appreciate him is not to appreciate him as a person.
Liu Liniang's face suddenly sank, and she said, "It's time to tell me about the last time you lied to me, right?" ”
Liu Yue hurriedly explained: "I can't rely on this, that dead old woman is your master, right?" She gave me the bag and told me to kill the person who came to get it. In exchange for treating my wounds. Afterward. You're here to beg for it. ”
"Then why don't you listen to her. Kill me? ”
Liu Yue made a big face and said, "Our relationship is so good, how can I be reluctant." ”
Liu Liniang glanced at Liu Yu again, seemed to accept his explanation, and was also satisfied with his answer, and sighed: "It's rare that the twelve young people who ignored the slave family and didn't look at it would say such intimate words, even if this matter is revealed." ”
"Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?"
Liu Liniang shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid, because I have already seen that person before." ”
Liu Yu was stunned at this moment. Since the old woman is not dead, with her strength, Liu Liniang should know that Liu Yue can't really get what she wants, so there is no deliberate deception.
"Who's that old woman? Martial arts seem to be very high. Liu Yu asked his long-standing questions.
"She's my junior sister."
"Division...... Younger sister?! ”
Liu Yu was surprised, this Liu Liniang was only in her thirties at most, and her junior sister was almost a girl, how could she be an old woman. Could it be that this mountain gate is ordered according to the morning and evening of entering the gate?
"That junior sister of yours is very fierce, is there still an old friend?"
"Hello?"
Liu Yu was taken aback, thinking of the old woman's hatred for Liu Liniang. Pointing at Liu Liniang, he said, "That old friend won't be you, right?" ”
Liu Liniang said angrily: "First, my junior sister is in her prime. It's not an old woman, she's just using our unique disguise technique, haven't you seen it too? Second, my sister and I are very innocent, when I went down the mountain, she was just reluctant to give up on me. ”
Liu Yu thought about it, and he had indeed seen Liu Liniang makeup as an old man, which was vivid. And as Liu Liniang, it is indeed much more convenient to speak and do things, no wonder she can distinguish herself at a glance.
Liu Yu couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, the "old woman" who was extremely disgusting to him in her last years turned out to be a woman in her prime, and she was a quirky person who had thoughts about her senior sister.
Liu Yu was thinking about it, and Zhou Ying returned to the side hall over there, and asked with a smile: "Miss Liu doesn't know what to say to Brother Fang, so happy?" ”
Liu Liniang's face regained the unique charm of a woman in Fengyue Field, and said, "Young Master Fang is talking to the slave family about the customs and customs of the north. ”
"Northern customs?" Zhou Ying thought for a while and said, "I have also been to the north in Xia, and the people in the north ......."
When Zhou Ying came over, Liu Liniang would put on a disguise, both a little disgusted and willing to listen, and the three of them entered the side hall together, and only Zhou Ying was heard talking in the side hall. After a while, Meng Chuliang came over with a worried face, as if he had encountered something troublesome, and said: "Brother Fang, there is something to do tonight, why don't he find you again in the future to finish this endgame, and Li Niang will help send off the guests." Wenliang, go to the Huai Wangfu with the teacher. ”
Looking at Meng Chuliang's words and deeds, it seems that something big has happened, and Liu Yu doesn't know what it is.
When Liu Liniang sent Liu Yu out, Liu Liniang saw Liu Yu pondering and was silent, and said, "Don't think about it, it's about the assassination of King Huai." ”
"King Huai was assassinated? How do you know the way? ”
Liu Liniang said: "Don't forget my identity. ”
She said that Liu Yue understood that Liu Liniang was King Huai's number one spy, and it was not uncommon for some things to be earlier than Huai Xiang Meng Chu's conscience.
Liu Yu said disdainfully: "Tomorrow, the envoys of the imperial court will cross the river, but King Huai was assassinated at this time, it must be a fraud." ”
"How do you know?"
Liu Yu smiled: "That's not simple, because the person who wants to assassinate King Huai, that is, me, hasn't done it yet." ”
"You!"
Liu Liniang seemed to be glaring at Liu Yu angrily, but the next moment her momentum softened, after all, the two had different identities and positions, and she couldn't control what Liu Yu was going to do.
"Before I did it, I would still persuade you to defect to King Huai and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Now your identity is different from before, you are the most powerful courtier around the new emperor, and it is in vain to persuade you. Sent to the door, Liu Liniang said meaningfully, "King Huai is not a simple person, I advise you to leave early, don't die, I don't know how Lu Dao died." ”
Liu Yu didn't expect that the two people who were originally hostile would come to such a point, but they seemed to be very good friends.
Liu Liniang was about to return when she was sent to the door, and Liu Yu suddenly said: "Thank you." ”
Liu Liniang turned her face sideways and said, "Thank you for persuading you?" ”
"Thank you for helping me." Liu Yu said with a smile.
Liu Liniang glanced at Liu Yu and said, "You help me, I'll help you." Don't overthink it. The man had already entered the porch.
…………
Liu Yu and Lu Chu'er returned to the inn. Bring back the news of King Huai's assassination as soon as possible.
Xu Xuanzhu said with a heavy face: "Husband is sure that King Huai is a fraud?" ”
"King Huai likes to pretend to be sick. This time the imperial envoys came. What's so strange about him repeating his old tricks? I suspect that he also wants to create public opinion about this matter, so that the military and people of Huaidi will be single-minded and have a dislike with the imperial court. ”
There is no good or evil on both sides of the war, and the king of Huai has a good way of governing the Huai land, and the local people are grateful for his kindness, and now if the king of Huai is assassinated, the spearhead will be directed at the new imperial court. King Huai's trick is actually quite clever.
Liu Yu continued: "I originally wanted to wait for an opportunity to assassinate him. Now that he is cheating on his injury, he will definitely stay in the Huaiwang Mansion and not come out, so it will be difficult for us to find an opportunity to start, and we will go back to Xuzhou City tomorrow. ”
"In such a hurry?" Wu You leaned over, "Can you be two days late?" ”
"If you want to stay, you can stay alone, Yang Youtong will stay, and let him take you back when the time comes."
Liu Yu didn't expect that he had only been in Jiankang for two days, and he would have a relationship with Meng Chuliang and Zhou Ying, and now it was not his turn and he didn't want to leave, and staying would only cause trouble. Fang Zhao is a businessman after all. If King Huai really used him to purchase war horses, he would definitely find someone to investigate in detail in advance. and find an acquaintance to verify, and then it will be exposed.
Just as he was packing his things, someone came from outside and brought something that looked like a famous thorn.
"It was sent by Meng Chuliang." After reading it, Liu Yu said, "He recommended me to apply for the system, this is his recommendation book, I didn't expect him to be so anxious." ”
The system is a system of electing officials outside the imperial examination, which usually requires the recommendation of ministers, and then the vassal king or emperor himself to test whether he has real talent and learning, and then entrust him with official positions.
Meng Chuliang has only known Liu Yu for a day, everything seems to be impatient, it seems that this person is not the kind of person who drags mud and water, and he will not hesitate to do it if he thinks it is right.
"Husband, are we leaving?" Xu Xuanzhu asked.
"Of course you have to go, so don't you let me take this recommendation book to see King Huai, and then become an official for King Huai?" Liu Yu threw away the recommendation book in his hand and said, "Don't be tomorrow, I'll leave tonight." ”
Liu Yu was about to leave suddenly, and some of the goods he brought were nominally handed over to the housekeeper, that is, Yang Lielai, to take care of them. And Yang Lie will soon move from the ground to the underground, thus arranging the intelligence network.
After Liu Yu told Mi Rucheng, Mi Rucheng didn't expect Liu Yu to leave so soon, and originally he wanted to introduce the local Yunjin businessman to Liu Yu. As a businessman, connections are very important.
"It's really a blessing to be able to get to know Brother Fang, since Brother Fang has something important in his family, how about the younger brother rent a more stable ship and send Brother Fang and Mrs. Fang back to the north?"
Mi Rucheng was so polite when he parted, firstly, he was familiar with Liu Yu at first sight, and secondly, Liu Yu helped him once yesterday, otherwise he would probably be in prison. Liu Yu didn't say anything polite to him, and nodded in response.
Mi Rucheng immediately went to hire the boat and docked it on the edge of the Qinhuai River. Because at this time, it has just arrived on the second watch, and the Qinhuai River is still very lively, and during the boat shuttle, it is really necessary to test the level of the boatman to go outside the city.
Mi Rucheng personally sent Liu Yu and his wife to the ferry and watched Liu Yu leave. Liu Yu looked at the lights and shadows of the Qinhuai River, and felt as if he was in a dream, and everything around him didn't seem so real.
Hurry to come, hurry to go, he was going to find someone to save the assassin Sisi out, but now it seems that there is no chance. Just thinking about this, the boat had already arrived under Shuiximen, and suddenly Liu Yu felt that something was not right, and on the bank of the entire Shuiximen River, a group of officers and soldiers were holding torches, as if they were patrolling. Only then did Liu Yu remember that King Huai had just been assassinated, and the fortification in the city was also a matter of course.
But soon Liu Yu found out that his guess was wrong, because he saw Zhou Ying's figure, Zhou Ying seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, Liu Yu had already taken refuge in the cabin, but the ship was stopped by Zhou Ying's messenger.
"Brother Fang, don't come unharmed!"
Liu Yu was in the shadow of the cabin, and Zhou Ying still knew so well that Liu Yu was in it, which showed that he had been prepared.
Liu Yu could only come out hard, Zhou Yinggong smiled and said: "Brother Fang is in such a hurry to leave, it must be because there is something important at home, you might as well get off the boat, there is a noble person who wants to see you." ”
In the distance, Liu Yu saw a middle-aged man who looked like an old scholar, standing on the riverbank with his hands in his hands, accompanied by Huai Xiang Meng Chuliang. And that person's appearance is six points similar to the deceased emperor, no matter how stupid Liu Yue is, he knows who he is. (To be continued......)
