Not long after the servant left, he returned, and said again: "The officer seems to be very resolute, saying that he has something very important to tell you. ”

Huan Xuan is even more unhappy, but the image he has set up for himself has always been to seek advice and be very open-minded, if he treats someone extraordinarily, he is afraid that others will be dissatisfied in their eyes.

Thinking of this, he smiled reluctantly: "In that case, please invite him over." ”

It didn't take long for him to see this officer surnamed Liu, this person had sword eyebrows, a righteous and awe-inspiring face, walked in with the unique steps of a soldier, and bowed to him half-kneeling without humility or arrogance: "County Prince, the last general Liu Yi has something important to report." ”

Huan Xuan pretended to be kind and said lightly: "Don't be formal, get up and talk." ”

I don't want Liu Yi to get up, but he didn't speak, just squinted at the two maids who were massaging Huan Xuan.

Huan Xuan coughed lightly, expecting that this kid was young and didn't have anything important to tell him, so he said leisurely: "If you have anything, just say it, the people I serve are very clever, what to say and what not to say, they understand it." ”

Liu Yi was helpless, he came all the way to Jiangzhou to see Huan Xuan, it was because of that incident, but the other party obviously didn't pay attention to his words.

Could it be that you just left like this?

He could only say: "Do you remember that outside Huiji City, there was a group of thieves who burned the grain and grass of our army, forcing you to retreat?" ”

You kid, can you speak?!

Huan Xuan was already angry, but he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said calmly: "I don't remember that I have been to Huiji, let alone that I have transferred troops, you must be mistaken." ”

Liu Yi was shocked in his heart, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "It's the last general's gaffe, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

This time, Huan Xuan didn't let him get up, but said lightly: "What are you here for, let's make it clear." ”

Liu Yi hurriedly replied: "It's ......"

He didn't know what to say about Huiji, so he could only say vaguely: "The people who burned grain and grass last time, my subordinates originally thought that the bandit leader had been shot by me, and he would definitely not survive, but the day before yesterday I saw him in Dongyang County, south of Huiji County, he had a lot of followers around him, and his subordinates were just alone, so they couldn't get close to him, so I hurriedly reported this matter to you, please make your own decision." ”

Huan Xuan was even more unhappy, and said solemnly: "Didn't you say at the time that those people were all woodcutters nearby, because they were dissatisfied with the closure of the city, they attacked it en masse and burned the grain and grass, and now you say that they were all instructed by someone, isn't this inconsistent?" Liu joined the army, you shouldn't have said nonsense last time in order to exonerate yourself. ”

Liu Yi hurriedly explained: "The others are indeed local woodcutters, but the leader is obviously plotting, when I saw that he was already going to die, I didn't tell you, now it seems that he has a lot of background, not only was he poisoned by our army and did not die, but also hugged him from front to back, and there were many people around him to follow." ”

Huan Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously: "I personally supervised the poison of the military envoy, and now no one should be able to solve it, and there are almost no people who have been poisoned but have not died, so you should be mistaken." ”

Liu Yi shook his head firmly and said: "This is impossible, the strongest thing in my subordinates is my eyesight, especially the targets that the bows and arrows in my subordinates' hands have pointed at, and I will never forget them, and I will never be wrong." ”

Huan Xuan asked disdainfully, "Then, who are the people around that person?" ”

Liu Yi thought about it slowly, and said after consideration: "There are three female dependents, an elder, and four young men. ”

Huan Xuan couldn't help laughing, and stroked his palm: "Ordinary people travel, it's just like this, there are women and old people, you actually regard such people as a big enemy, and rush to find me, it's just ......"

When he said this, Zhengse said: "Liu joined the army, although you are indeed outstanding in martial arts, I also know that many people in the army respect you very much on weekdays, but you have to remember that you are my subordinate, if I have any orders, I will let you do it, if you have an opportunistic mind and want to take any shortcuts, it depends on whether I agree or not, understand?" ”

Liu Yi didn't expect that his kindness would be misunderstood by Huan Xuan like this, and mistakenly thought that he was greedy for wealth and wealth, so he came to make a small report to him, and couldn't help but be speechless, and wanted to say something, but saw Huan Xuan waving his hand and signaling him to retreat.

He could only reply, "Yes." ”

Huan Xuan was stirred up by him, and he lost the interest in dealing with official business, so he asked the two maids to serve him and lie down, planning to take a nap.

When Xichun and Xiaoxia withdrew, they glanced at each other, but saw that each other's eyes were also frightened.

I never thought that the sparse corridor was so long, and the steps under my feet were so heavy that people couldn't lift them, and even the melodious birdsong that I was used to on weekdays sounded very piercing at this time, and it made people feel that they were just caged birds.

Xiao Xia couldn't help but say first: "Sister Xichun, what should we do?" I actually heard such a big thing, and now the master didn't take it to heart, if the master remembers it one day, how should the two of us protect ourselves? ”

Xichun is also unrelenting, and the composure that he pretended to be in front of the master is all gone, and he also said to himself: "Yes, the master's temperament is the most uncertain, if you suddenly remember this, I'm afraid that the two of us will ......."

Although the master of the house treats people kindly and never whips and reprimands his subordinates at will, but unconsciously, there will always be people around him who suddenly disappear, and when they ask about others, no one knows their whereabouts, and those stewards are even more evasive, and they never mention it one by one.

Now that I think about it, those people are either particularly used by their masters and sent to other places, or they are ......

Hey, as a slave, although it is said that there is no need for food and clothing, but the most helpless thing is that you can't help yourself, what does the master want you, can you still refuse?

The master wants you to die, and it's just a matter of one sentence.

Thinking of this, Xichun gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go find Sister Dong'er, beg her to save us, she is the most face-saving in front of the master's mother, if she is invited to come forward, we will be under the master's hand as an errand, at least it will not hinder the master's eyes, we don't dangle in front of the master, I'm afraid he won't be able to remember this matter." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Xia couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, my sister is reasonable, Sister Dong'er is the most kind to others, and she is very responsible in case of trouble, let's go find her." ”
