Chapter 287: Not an ordinary person
On the way to Liu Wei, Deng Zhan drove away the sister and brother several times in a row, but the sister and brother just followed him, like a little tail, and they couldn't shake it off.
Seeing that they were about to walk to the side of the road, Liu Wei and the others were only seven or eight steps away from Deng Zhan, and seeing that the sisters and brothers were still following behind, Deng Zhan was a little anxious, waved his hand at them, and said to them: "Hurry up!" Come on! Don't follow so-and-so again! ”
The sister and brother were driven away by Deng Zhan again, looking at him timidly, but they really didn't dare to follow.
"That's him!" Deng Zhan turned around and was about to walk towards Liu Wei when a shout came from behind him, followed by a chaotic sound of footsteps.
"It's them! Those two little crumbs are also with him! The strong man who was twisted by Deng Zhan's wrist ran to a place not far from him, didn't dare to step forward again, raised his hand and pointed at the sister and brother but didn't dare to point directly at Deng Zhan, and scolded.
Behind the strong man were dozens of men armed with hoes, shovels and other tools. These men were obviously working on the construction site of the restoration of the palace, so they were called over, each of them was covered with dust, one by one naked, their tattered deep clothes hung around their waists like skirts, and they stared at Deng Zhan and the sister and brother, as if they were about to breathe flames in their eyes.
Looking at those strong men, Liu Wei's brows twisted slightly. He just frowned, and the few personal soldiers who followed him drew their long swords one after another, jumped out of the way, and blocked in front of Deng Zhan.
The sisters and brothers who had been rescued by Deng Zhan from the strong man before, saw that there were many people, and hurriedly hid behind Deng Zhan in fright, stretched out their little heads, and secretly looked at those fierce men.
The strong man's wrist was twisted, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He was repairing the rafters of a chamber with the boy, and the boy was struck with a piece of wood and nearly fell from a great height. It's just a slap in the face to that kid, and it will cause a disaster in vain.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, the man couldn't bear this breath, gathered a group of friends from the same village, and chased after him with tools, wanting to ask Deng Zhan for an explanation.
I don't know how powerful Deng Zhan is, this group of men is not much afraid of confronting him. Seeing a few soldiers in red armor standing on the road, they even thought that these soldiers would at most pull the two sides apart after the quarrel broke out.
But when the soldiers behind Liu Wei jumped out and drew their swords and pointed at them, they realized that the strong man was provoking the people they couldn't afford to provoke, and their faces couldn't help but show panic, and even two of them were timid, and the tools in their hands fell to the ground in fright.
"Stand down!" Seeing that the pro-soldiers had stepped forward and had already suppressed the group of men, Liu Wei walked down the path and shouted to several pro-soldiers.
"It's just a scene, and the king has a panoramic view!" Walking in front of several pro-soldiers, Liu Wei said to the group of men who were carrying tools and had a domineering posture before, but now they were trembling by the pro-soldiers: "A little miscellaneous matter, I can't tell who is right and who is wrong." General Deng shot a little heavier, the villagers are not strange! ”
Liu Wei retired from his own soldiers and stood in front of this group of men, who did not know who he was, and thought that he was just an official supervising the project, but even so, they were already frightened.
When Liu Biao called himself "this king", two of the men were clever, and they had already guessed that the one standing in front of them was the master of Luoyang, the king of Luoyang, who was frightened and his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with "poof", and the tools in his hand were thrown aside, kowtowing to Liu Bian like pounding garlic: "The king spares his life, and the grass people don't know that the king is here!" ”
As soon as the two men shouted, the rest of the men, no matter how dull they were, knew what was going on. They all knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Liu Wei incessantly, and kept shouting for mercy.
"Folks, get up!" Liu Wei raised his hand towards those men and said to them: "Today's matter, this king does not blame you for waiting!" ”
The men who knelt on the ground obviously didn't expect the King of Luoyang to be so easy to speak, and they looked at each other one by one, but no one dared to get up.
"Your Highness wants you to wait to get up, can you wait until you are deaf?" Seeing that the group of men did not get up, a personal soldier stepped forward and shouted at them.
Startled by the pro-soldiers, all the men hurriedly got up, leaning on their bodies one by one, and they didn't even dare to look at Liu Wei.
"Everyone is out to make a living!" Liu Wei turned his head to look at the girl and her younger brother who were hiding behind Deng Zhan, and then said to the men: "It's not easy to fill your stomach!" Their sister and brother are still young, and at such a young age, they came to work hard to beg for food, it is already difficult for them, if there is any offense, the villagers will take care of it! ”
As he spoke, Liu Wei muttered to the soldiers on the side. A pro-soldier knowingly took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, walked up to the man who had slapped the child before, took the man's hand, and stuffed the copper coin into the man's hand.
"General Deng injured this villager before, and this king will compensate the villagers on behalf of General Deng!" Seeing that the man took the copper coin, Liu Biancai continued: "But this king has an ugly saying today, and in the future in Luoyang City, who else dares to bully the weak and gather people to fight, don't blame this king for being ruthless!" ”
After the last two sentences, Liu Bian's tone had changed from kind to cold. When a group of men heard his two words, their legs weakened, and they knelt on the ground again.
Frowning slightly, he glanced at those men, Liu Wei turned around, and before leaving, he left a sentence to this group of men: "Today's events, this king should not have happened, don't have a next time!" ”
A group of men knelt on the ground, trembling one by one, where did they dare to answer Liu Wei's words. It wasn't until Liu Wei and the others walked away that the men dared to raise their heads.
As soon as the frightened men got up in a cold sweat, two of them were hot-tempered and wanted to jump up and kick the strong man who called them to come, but before they could do anything, they were pulled by others.
"Your Highness said that if we are fighting privately, we will definitely not forgive, don't make trouble!" A few men dragged the two men who wanted to step forward and dragged the two away, and only a handful of copper coins were left on the side of the road, but the strong man with a disgraced face stood there stunned.
After a long time, the strong man sighed, put the copper coin in his arms, and followed the group of men from the same village.
Liu Wei and the others continued to walk along the path towards the palace, and the sisters and brothers, who already knew the identities of Liu Wei and Deng Zhan, fell far behind them and did not leave for a long time.
"That sister and brother seem to want to follow General Deng!" Turning his head to look at the young lady and the younger brothers, Liu Wei said to Deng Zhan on the side: "The general might as well take them in, anyway, General Deng is next to him, and he also needs two people who can take care of his daily life." ”
Liu Wei's voice was not very small, and although the sisters and brothers who followed behind were far away, they also heard it really.
Without waiting for Deng Zhan to answer, the girl was already pulling her younger brother, running forward quickly, kneeling beside Deng Zhan, and kowtowing incessantly. The girl said to Deng Zhan even more crisply: "The servant is willing to follow the general as a slave and a servant, although my younger brother is young, he can also feed the horse and wash the armor for the general, please take pity on our sister and brother, accept us!" ”
The sister and brother suddenly knelt down, making Deng Zhan very embarrassed. He subconsciously took a step back, avoiding the siblings who were kneeling in front of him.
"You two don't have any relatives in Luoyang, how did you get here?" Without waiting for Deng Zhan to express his position, Liu Wei on the side first glanced at Deng Zhan, and then asked the sister and brother: "Who are you two from?" Can there be parents in the city? ”
Hearing Liu Bian's question, the girl hurriedly raised her head and said to Liu Bian: "Back to Your Highness, the maid and his younger brother lost their parents in their early years, and they begged for food near Luoyang. The year before last, the maid was taken captive by a family and made ......"
Having said this, the girl's dirty face showed a deep sense of unease, raised her head and glanced at Deng Zhan very worriedly, and then kowtowed to Liu Wei and said: "The servant is not clean, I dare not desire the general's favor, I just want to be by the general's side, sew and mend for the general, wash and wash the pulp, my wish is enough!" ”
"Pity these two children!" After listening to the girl's words, Liu Wei turned his head and waved his hand at Deng Zhan, and said to him: "This matter is General Deng's private matter, and it is inconvenient for this king to ask. This king is one step ahead, and General Deng will deal with it himself! ”
As he spoke, Liu Wei had already taken a few personal soldiers and walked towards the deeper part of the palace.
Deng Zhan, who was left behind by Liu Wei and was still standing on the road, looked at the sister and brother with a look of embarrassment, and after a while, he raised his hand towards them and said to them: "Get up, from now on, you two will follow General Ben!" ”
Knowing that Deng Zhan was willing to take them in, the girl hurriedly pressed her brother's head, and while kowtowing to Deng Zhan with him, she said to her brother: "Huzi, thank the general." ”
If you want to say that this girl is also clever. Kowtowed to Deng Zhan according to her brother's head, and when Deng Zhan asked them to get up, she stood behind Deng Zhan, lowered her head and whispered to Deng Zhan: "The general takes in my sister and brother, Lian'er has nothing to repay, and I am willing to follow the general as a slave in this life!" ”
"What will happen in the future, we will talk about it later!" Deng Zhan waved his hand, glanced at Liu Wei and the others who had already walked away, and said to the sisters and brothers: "You two go out of the palace to the barracks, and say that Deng Zhan wants you to wait at the tooth gate." ”
"No!" Lian'er folded her hands in front of her, answered softly, and led Huzi to take two steps back before turning around and walking towards the palace gate.
When Lian'er saluted, she was very dignified, and when she and Huzi left together, Deng Zhan looked at their backs, twisted his brows slightly, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
watched the sisters and brothers walk away, and when they turned the corner and their figures disappeared from sight, Deng Zhan quickly caught up with Liu Wei and the others.
"How? Took them in? As soon as he arrived at Liu Bian, Deng Zhan heard Liu Bian ask him lightly.
"Hmm!" Deng Zhan nodded, which was regarded as an answer to Liu Bian, and then said to Liu Biao with a little doubt in his tone: "There is just one thing, which is really weird." ”
"That girl is no ordinary woman!" Without waiting for Deng Zhan to speak, Liu Wei already had a faint smile on his face, and said to him: "Children of ordinary people, when they see this king, I am afraid they are too frightened to speak. But she coped with it like a stream and had no flaws! If it weren't for the past, it was a woman from a noble family, or a spy who was instructed to come to Luoyang to act, General Deng should be careful! ”
