Volume 1 Chapter 6 The Mighty City Lord
Liu Yang was lying on the bed, and the injury on his face was not yet healed.
"Young master, my lord is invited. ”
As soon as Liu Yang put on his clothes, the old housekeeper's voice came from outside the door. The day before yesterday, the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion also came to visit Liu Yang. But he knew that it was nothing more than that Liu Yong didn't want to see him, so he deliberately sent the old housekeeper to find out about his situation. After all, turning a person of unknown origin like Liu Yang into his own heir, it is inevitable that he needs to pay more attention to whoever he is.
"Right away. ”
Liu Yang frowned imperceptibly, he knew that the old fox didn't treat him very well, but he suddenly wanted to meet him today?
"The lord must be concerned about your body. While Liu Yang was thinking, Xiao Ling next to him said his thoughts innocently.
"Maybe. ”
Liu Yang smiled reluctantly and walked out in a wide robe.
In the hall, Liu Yong sat on a wooden chair with pear blossoms in a bright red official robe. He was holding the tea bowl, but his boring lips were half an inch away from the mouth of the cup, and the hot air bypassed his cheeks, revealing a pair of deep eyes, and the whole person remained motionless as if thinking about something important, so that he didn't realize it when the old housekeeper led Liu Yang to the main hall.
"Ahem. ”
The old housekeeper coughed softly, bringing Liu Yong back to his senses. His eyes lit up, and his gaze fell on Liu Yang.
After a few days, this is the second meeting between the two. Liu Yang's expression was as usual, without the uneasiness he had when he saw him for the first time, but more of an antipathy emanating from the depths of his heart.
Liu Yong was wearing a red official robe, and the whole person was even more majestic. But in Liu Yang's eyes, this person wanted to bow down to him when they met him for the first time, and even wanted to threaten to wipe out his family, this kind of strength and cruelty made it difficult for him to have a good feeling.
"Do you hate me?"
Or reading the emotion in Liu Yang's eyes, he put down the tea bowl and asked seriously.
"Not hating is fake. ”
Liu Yang is very calm and fearless. These days, no matter how dull he is, he understands his importance to the Liu Mansion, so Liu Yong will never kill him because of his love and hate.
"Hate, it's normal. But if you were me today, you would do the same. ”
In the surprised look of the old housekeeper, Liu Yong was not angry. He got up calmly, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said slowly: "Liu Yang, do you know how many people there are in Liu's mansion?"
"More than 100 people. ”
His question was a little inexplicable, and Liu Yang naturally answered casually.
"Old butler. ”
Liu Yong glanced at the old butler, who comprehended it and said in his place: "Young master, there are one hundred and twenty-one private soldiers and black-armored guards in the Liu Mansion, twenty-eight helpers and kitchens, and eleven maids and slaves, a total of one hundred and sixty people. And this is not counting the temporary recruitment of miscellaneous servants and some subordinates who operate outside, all of them are more than three hundred people. ”
"So many?" Liu Yang was a little surprised.
"Have you thought about it, what will happen to these people if my Liu Mansion falls?" said this, Liu Yong's tone was low.
Hearing this, Liu Yang thought about it slightly, and a chill rose in his heart.
"Whether you understand it or not, remember that you are the only son of the Liu Mansion, now and in the future. Liu Yong's tone changed, and he continued calmly and forcefully: "For the sake of Liu Fu and yourself, you must adapt to your current identity. ”
His tone was so powerful that Liu Yang couldn't find the slightest motivation to refute.
"What's in it for me?" After a moment, Liu Yang raised his head and looked directly at him.
"What benefits do you want. ”
Liu Yong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Liu Yang to offer benefits to himself, he was a person who met someone and talked to him like a businessman.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yang said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I hope that after the situation in Liufu stabilizes in the future, I will be given freedom." ”
"Huh?"
Liu Yong frowned, he thought that Liu Yang would ask for some wealth or something, but he didn't expect it to be just such a request. It's simple, but I don't know why he doesn't want to say yes like this.
"If you come to that time, don't you want the glory of the Liu Mansion?"
"Don't. Liu Yang showed a reminiscing smile and said, "I just want to return to the world that belongs to me." ”
Regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, Liu Yang assumed that he understood his words.
"Yes. ”
Liu Yong agreed very seriously. Right now, the most important thing is to appease Liu Yang, if anything goes wrong now, the entire Liu Mansion will be turned upside down and irretrievable.
"One more thing, Yi Zhixi will be visiting you tomorrow. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yong's expression was a little gloomy.
What made him undeniable was that this county guard's identity was somewhat special, so he had to accept it.
"What do you need me to do?" Looking at Liu Yong's gloomy expression, Liu Yang understood that this time the matter was not so simple. Puyang County Shouyi Zhixi can be said to be the most powerful person in the ancient city, and his intentions are a little difficult to guess.
"Since you say that you have lost your mind, you naturally have to reach that level. After a while, Liu Yong said slowly.
"That's easy. ”
"There's nothing else to do, I'll go back to cultivation first. ”
Seeing that he didn't stop him, Liu Yang turned around and walked out of the hall door.
Looking at his back, Liu Yong was thoughtful. However, the old butler next to him was a little worried and said, "Will the young master be recognized by that person?"
"Since he has faith, it is up to him to be able to do it. ”
"This... ”
"It's hard for flowers to grow smoothly in greenhouses. Liu Yong calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I need to be a backhand. Zhuge Qingfeng didn't know where to come from, he looked at Liu Yang's back that was about to disappear, and said to the old housekeeper: "Invite Zhao Jiu over." ”
The old housekeeper glanced at Liu Yong, and when he saw that he didn't stop him, he turned around and stepped out of the door.
"Do you need to do this?"
Liu Yong put down the teacup, and his expression was a little unnatural.
"Since the other party chooses to make trouble at this time, then we don't need to pretend to be stupid, we should tear our faces. ”
Speaking of this, Zhuge Qingfeng showed a creepy smile.
Day 2.
The scorching sun hung high, and the two black-armored guards guarding the door looked solemn, and suddenly there was a vibration from the ground, and their faces changed slightly. As soon as I looked up, I saw the red-armored guards coming like a torrent of steel, densely packed and filled the entire street.
"Go in and report it. ”
One of the guards took a deep breath and reminded his companion. And he unconsciously tightened his grip on the cold hilt of the knife in his hand, and his body became more tense.
The sound of the rumbling pace was as violent as thunder, and even if the black-armored guards didn't have to report it, many people in the mansion would notice this huge movement.
"It's coming. ”
Liu Yong sat at the desk, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
The tall and burly red-armored soldiers were one after another, they were neat and orderly, and the kind of iron-blooded aura emanating from their bodies was enough to shock people's hearts. This is the Red Guards of the County Guard's Mansion, looking at the entire northwest region, it is a very amazing army, not only equipped with the most sophisticated armor and weapons, but also every soldier is a martial arts cultivator to reach the condensation stage, even if all the black armor guards of the Liu Mansion are placed in front of them, it is difficult to resist.
Yi Zhixi rode a jujube red horse, wearing a big red robe, and glanced indifferently at the black-armored guards at the gate of Liu's Mansion, and his cold face showed a touch of contempt undisguised.
Even though the gate of Liu's Mansion was close at hand, he had no intention of dismounting. In this way, he rode a sturdy jujube red horse and stepped on the third floor, and went straight to the bottom of the plaque of Liufu, which was one step away from the threshold. It's not that he didn't want to cross, but the only black-armored guard in front of him drew his sword and blocked the threshold with a cold face.
The black-armored guard was silent, in addition to such a tall horse and powerful ministers in front of him, there were more than five hundred murderous Red Guards, and everyone's eyes fell on him. At this moment, although he tried his best to remain calm, he was already sweating, and even the hand holding the knife was a little trembling.
"It is worthy of Liu Yong's person. ”
Yi Zhixi smiled, as if he was amazed at the courage of the black-armored guard in front of him. As soon as he finished speaking, he whipped down. Blood was spilling everywhere, and the black-armored guard didn't have time to react, a deep wound appeared on his chest, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily.
"This is Liu's Mansion!" he didn't care about the injury on his chest, and he was about to struggle to get up again.
"Ahh
The huge horse's hooves trampled on the palm of his hand, and the crisp sound of bone cracking sounded out in a way that made him howl unbearably. A cruel smile crossed the corner of Yi Zhixi's mouth, and he rode into Liu's mansion on a tall horse. The Red Guards behind him scattered with a "bang", instantly surrounding the huge Liu Mansion layer by layer.
The huge horse's hooves fell heavily, and the hard bluestone slabs showed cracks in the spider web boards. Yi Zhixi's eyes froze and he restrained his smile. In front of him, Liu Yong was wearing a green robe, and the old housekeeper and Liu Yang were standing in the courtyard next to him, as if they were already waiting for a lot.
"Lord Liu, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same!"
Haha laughed, Yi Zhixi turned over and dismounted. Behind him, a soldier in red armor pulled the reins for him.
"The demeanor of Lord Yi is still the same. Your pomp and circumstance are many times stronger than back then. ”
Liu Yong's expression was unwavering, and he said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"He's your son?"
Yi Zhixi ignored the ridicule in Liu Yong's words, his eyes fell on Liu Yang, and became a little sharp. As if he was examining something, the old butler next to him was a little displeased.
But Liu Yang didn't seem to notice anything, he raised his head and smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth, as if he was greeting acquaintances. This look made Yi Zhixi frown unconsciously.
"I heard that your son was assassinated, and his mind was damaged. I brought a doctor with me and I could take a look at him for him. Speaking of this, he deliberately looked at Liu Yong and said, "Lord Liu won't refuse Yi's kindness, right?"
Since it is a good intention, of course Liu will not refuse. ”
"Oh?"
Yi Zhixi looked at him deeply, and then called a Confucian in white.
This man was about thirty years old and very handsome. The moment he walked out from behind Yi Zhixi, Liu Yong's face sank, and the old housekeeper's face changed slightly.
"In the white clothes, I have seen two adults. ”
"Are you Gu Baiyi?" Liu Yong's tone was a little unkind, he never expected Yi Zhixi to invite such a person. If he talks about medicine in Puyang City, he may not be much of a name, but if he talks about poison, it is simply terrifying.
"Gu is also a doctor, and it is also my honor to help your son visit his condition. His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, obviously Yi Zhixi had already explained to him.
"Adults can't. The old housekeeper spoke up, and the person in front of him was notorious, comparable to a flood beast. If he is allowed to contact Liu Yang, I am afraid it will be very dangerous.
"Doesn't Lord Liu want my people to help your son see a doctor?" Or is there something big wrong with your son?"
"Just look at it. However, the dog's spirit is sometimes in a trance, and I am afraid that Mr. Gu will not be able to cope with it. ”
"It's nothing, your son is polite and polite, I can deal with it. ”
Gu Baiyi smiled softly, could he still not deal with an ordinary person.
