Just as he was about to salute Liu Bian, Yuan Xi suddenly found that Liu Bian and Guan Qing, who was standing beside him, were wearing the deep clothes of the people, and he was stunned for a moment, and asked Liu Bian: "Your Highness, what is this ......?" ”

"Oh!" Seeing Yuan Xi looking at the dark clothes he was wearing, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to Yuan Xi: "I have heard the name of Handan for a long time, and this king has no chance to come, but now that he has entered Handan City, he wants to go to the market with Qing'er." Let's take a look at this Handan City, what are the interesting things. ”

"Your Highness wants to go to the market?" Knowing that Liu Wei wanted to wander in the market, Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "The last general will order the soldiers to get rid of the idlers in the market......

"If there are no idlers in the market, what will this king go?" Without waiting for Yuan Xi to finish speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand at him and said with a smile: "If this king wants to go to the market, he wants to see the customs and customs in this city. ”

"What His Highness said is that the last general is abrupt!" was vetoed by Liu Bian's proposal to clean up the market, Yuan Xi's expression showed a little embarrassment, bowed slightly, and said to Liu Bian: "However, the streets of Handan City are crisscrossed, and there are guests from other places, and there are many people who are lost in the city. His Highness is going to the market, and he must not be accompanied by someone who is familiar with the terrain. The last general dared to beg His Highness to allow Yuan to accompany him......"

Although Handan City is large, when he entered the city, Liu Wei found that the buildings in the city were staggered and magnificent, but the streets were each with their own merits, and they were by no means the same.

With his keen sense of terrain, it may not be easy to get lost in such a city with extremely obvious street signs.

However, Liu Wei also knew that the reason why Yuan Xi made this request was because he was afraid that he and Guan Qing would have a business trip in the city. If this is the case, although the Luoyang Army has lost its backbone, the soldiers of the Luoyang Army will be angry at Jizhou, and Jizhou, which is fighting against Gongsun Zhan, may not be able to bear it.

After a slight ponder, Liu Wei nodded and said to Yuan Xi: "Since this is the case, the little general recommends himself." ”

"The last general is willing to accompany His Highness!" With Liu Bian's permission, Yuan Xi was immediately overjoyed, maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and hurriedly said to Liu Bian: "This Handan City, the last general has lived for many days in the past, and the streets in the city are also quite familiar......

At this point, he raised his head and glanced at the window that let in the dazzling sunlight, before he continued to say to Liu Wei: "There are several wine shops in the city, and the wine and food are a must. A few days ago, Handan City was besieged by Black Mountain thieves, and most of the liquor stores have closed their doors. Now that the Black Mountain thieves have withdrawn, there must be some bold shops that have opened. ”

Turning his head to look at the window, Liu Wei nodded, waved his hand to Yuan Xi, and said to him: "Little general, go back and change your clothes, I will go to this market for a good walk today, and it can be regarded as a continuous battle, and I am busy stealing a leisure." I'm afraid that the little general will guard Handan for a long time, and most of the people in the market will recognize it. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured! The last general doesn't walk around much in the city, and when he walks around on weekdays, there are mostly soldiers who open the way, and the people are not very familiar with the last general! He first explained to Liu Wei with his fists in his fist, and then Yuan Xi said to Liu Wei and Guan Qing: "The last general will go to change his clothes, and he will come to pick up His Royal Highness and General Guan in a moment." ”

Liu Wei nodded at Yuan Xi, Guan Qing also gave Yuan Xi a return salute with his fists, Yuan Xi took two steps back with his fists, turned around and walked out of the door, and quickly left to return to his residence to change his clothes.

"Qing'er, you said that Yuan Xi came to find this king early in the morning, why did he say?" When Yuan Xi left, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Guan Qing who was standing aside, smiled at her, and asked her.

"Your Highness has a lot of money, you must already know it, why do you want to ask Qing'er." Standing beside Liu Bian, Guan Qing's little face was slightly flushed, pursed his lips, and said such a sentence, but a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Liu Bian without blinking, obviously wanting to know why Yuan Xi came here.

"He certainly didn't come here to accompany the king on shopping." With his hands pressed on his knees, Liu Wei stood up and walked to the window, looking out the window at the courtyard where the grass and trees were slightly withered, but still vibrant, and said to Guan Qing: "I'm afraid that before Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang led the troops to intercept the Black Mountain Army, they had a discussion with Yuan Shao......

Looking at Liu Wei's back, Guan Qing did not speak. As a general from the Qingzhou Army, if she wants to lead the troops to fight, she won't even frown, but if she wants to think of some intrigues, it is really difficult for her.

Liu Wei stood at the window, staring at the scenery outside the window, Guan Qing stood behind him, through his back, and also cast his eyes out of the window, a trace of doubt appeared on his pretty face, but he did not open his mouth to ask Liu Bian. The huge room was surprisingly quiet for a while, and if it weren't for the occasional chirping of birds outside the window, the room would be so quiet that even the two of them could smell each other's breath.

After about half a pillar of incense, Liu Wei, who was standing at the window, saw Yuan Xi, who had changed into a blue-green linen deep robe, leading two soldiers to walk towards the attic quickly, and only then did he pull a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Guan Qing: "Yuan Xi is here, and the two of us don't wait for him to go upstairs." Let's go, let's go to the market first, as for the rest, it's useless to think about it! ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the door.

Seeing him walking towards the door, Guan Qing also hurriedly followed.

Out of the room, Liu Wei led Guan Qing down the wooden staircase to the first floor. As soon as the front foot settled down at the bottom of the stairs, he found that in the room on the first floor, in addition to a few Yulin guards who were in charge of guarding, there were also more than a dozen men dressed in the people's deep clothes.

These more than a dozen men were dressed in dark cyan clothes, with long swords hanging from their waists, dressed as rangers. Seeing Liu Wei and Guan Qing coming down the stairs, they all hugged their fists and bowed down to greet them: "Your Highness!" General Guan! ”

After looking at the more than ten men, Liu Wei asked them with some doubts: "Why are you dressed like this?" ”

"Your Highness is going out, and I, as a guard, should follow from afar!" A man who was obviously the leader of the more than a dozen people bowed down with his fists and said to Liu Wei: "We are dragoon guards, and we have just been ordered by General Deng to accompany you to protect Your Highness!" ”

"Deng Zhan?" Hearing that these more than ten men came to protect them on Deng Zhan's orders, Liu Wei frowned slightly and asked the more than ten people: "Why did Deng Zhan know that this king was going out?" ”

"Your Highness's forgiveness!" As soon as Liu Bian's words were asked, Yuan Xi, who strode into the house, bowed to him with his fists and bowed deeply, and said to Liu Bian: "I just went out at the end of the year, and I happened to meet General Deng. I told the general that His Highness was going out, and the general thought that His Highness was still angry with him and didn't dare to come to see him, and as for sending someone to protect him, it was also the general's intention......"

"Eventful!" The corners of his mouth twitched, Liu Wei whispered to blame Yuan Xi, but he did not force the more than ten men not to follow, and walked towards the door with his feet raised.

Guan Qing and Yuan Xi followed closely, and more than a dozen dragoon guards who had changed into people's deep clothes also followed out of the room.

Handan City, which had just been freed from the siege of the Montenegrin army, must have been bustling with a different hustle and bustle than before, but even so, there were still many pedestrians in the market.

Just like what Liu Wei saw when he entered the city, not only are most of the people walking in the market women, but even the stalls on the street are mostly women.

Out of the official mansion, more than a dozen dragoon guards consciously lagged behind by nearly twenty steps, and followed Liu Wei and the others from a distance. A pair of eyes, but they didn't dare to leave the backs of Liu Wei and the others for a moment.

Sandwiched between Guan Qing and Yuan Xi, Liu Wei walked slowly along the bluestone-paved street, looking at the shops on both sides of the street that had opened their doors one after another.

Due to the perennial war, most of the sturdy men in the Jizhou area were conscripted into the army, and occasionally a few men walked by in the market, and they were also short in stature and not good-looking.

Liu Wei and others appeared on the street, and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Some slightly reserved women glanced at Liu Wei and the others, then hurriedly twisted their heads to the side with a red face. From their looks, it can be seen that they want to see these handsome and beautiful people from the bottom of their hearts.

But there were also the bold women, who saw three handsome young students walking down the street, and their eyes stared at their faces without blinking, and even a few of them, who followed them all the way, like cats who had seen a fishy smell but could not eat them.

Liu Wei, Yuan Xi and Guan Qing were looked at uncomfortably, and the more than ten dragoons who were responsible for protecting Liu Wei were no better.

They are all carefully selected warriors in the Luoyang Army, and they were selected from the elite of Yulin Guard, although some of the dragoons are just ordinary in appearance, but their physique and size, even among the main forces of the Luoyang Army, are definitely the best of the best.

Except for the occasional Handan woman who can see some burly soldiers in the army, seeing that there are more than ten "stunners" in the market, how can you not see them through at one time?

Stared at by the women on the street, although the more than a dozen dragoons were all strong men, they also felt a little uncomfortable. However, they were slightly better than Liu Wei and the others, because of the long sword hanging from their waists, although the women on the street were staring at them, no one dared to follow them.

Walking beside Liu Wei, he was uncomfortable to be looked at by a pair of eyes that looked at him in both directions. Guan Qing whispered to Liu Wei: "Are we a little ostentatious? ”

"I told you before I went out, don't be too suave!" Turning his head to Guan Qing and smiling slightly, Liu Wei lowered his voice and said to her: "There are few men in the bazaar, and a handsome offspring like you suddenly appeared, and it is reasonable for the daughter's family in the city to take a few more looks." ”

Liu argued and blushed Guan Qing's pretty face. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, and the stalls and shops on both sides of the market, which were very attractive to her daughter's family, became a little boring in her eyes.

"Blush, blush!" As soon as Guan Qing lowered his head, a middle-aged woman's arrogant laughter came from the side of the street.

Hearing the laughter, Liu Wei and Yuan Xi couldn't help but twist their faces to the side and look at the middle-aged woman standing on the side of the street, smiling forward and backward.

It was a woman dressed in a dark cloth of earthen gray cloth, about forty years old, perhaps malnourished for many years, her face was sallow, and she was as thin as a knife, so that she did not look like a merchant family, but more like a village woman in a village outside the city.

The facial features of a middle-aged woman are very ordinary, as long as she gets into the crowd, I am afraid that she will not be able to find a trace immediately. However, her slightly triangular eyes shimmered with an unpredictable essence, and just a glance at people would make people's hairs stand upside down.

"Let's go!" Glancing at the middle-aged woman, Liu Wei suddenly felt a trace of discomfort in his heart, he furrowed his brows slightly, and whispered a word of command to Yuan Xi and Guan Qing on the side, raising his feet to continue walking.

"Yo!" As soon as the servant walked out of two steps, he heard the middle-aged woman behind him shout in a weird way: "The handsome offspring is really a big shelf!" ”
