Chapter 81: Provocation
August 1st, early in the morning.
As soon as Liu Xiu came back from Deng Aichen's practice, he received news from Sikong Mansion.
Sikong Cao Cao will celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven on August 3.
Pang Degong and Liu Xiu have been coming to Xu County for some time, and now they have finally got the exact time for Cao Cao to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven. It means that Pang Degong and his entourage are about to embark on the return journey.
After celebrating the birthday of the Son of Heaven, he was about to say goodbye to Cao Cao.
Liu Xiu did not have any souvenirs of leaving Xu County.
What Liu Xiu is worried about is the arrangement of the clerk.
There are still a few days to go, and Liu Xiu hopes that Wenpin can be laid out as soon as possible.
Liu Xiu stayed in his courtyard, holding in his hand a list of Wenchen generals under Cao Cao's command. These people were written by Liu Xiu based on the memory in his head. For some of them, Liu Xiu has an idea, if he can dig a few corners from Cao Cao's command, it will be the most perfect result.
"Knock! knock!"
There was a knock on the door.
Deng Ai looked anxious, and said hurriedly: "Childe, it's not good, there are six people from outside the mansion, and they are looking for you aggressively." ”
Liu Xiu got up and opened the door, but the look on his face was not in a hurry, and he asked, "Who is here?"
Deng Ai replied: "I don't know, they are looking for you by name." ”
Liu Xiu said: "Come out with me and have a look." ”
Deng Ai worried: "Childe, there are six of them here, and they are menacing, I'm afraid it's not good." Early this morning, General Wenpin went out again, and if you go to see them alone, I'm afraid ......"
Liu Xiu flicked his sleeves and said, "Xiao Ai, this is Xu County, no one can do anything to me, let's go." ”
Deng Ai was worried, but Liu Xiu walked in front, and he could only follow behind.
The two walked straight towards the gate, and as soon as Liu Xiu arrived at the gate, he saw Pang Degong also coming over.
Pound Degong instructed: "Xiu'er, don't be impulsive. ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, teacher, disciple understands." ”
As a member of the Jingzhou Mission, especially Liu Xiu's previous performance in Sikong Mansion and his performance in the school field, Liu Xiu had already entered the sight of the magnates of Xu County.
Moreover, this is Xu County.
If Liu Xiu's safety is threatened, Cao Cao will not be able to get over his face.
Therefore, Liu Xiu was not worried about his safety at all.
Liu Xiu came to the door, looked at the soldiers standing inside the gate with a nervous expression, and ordered, "Open the gate." ”
"No!"
The soldier received the order and hurriedly opened the door.
Crunch!
The door opened, and six young men stood at the gate, staring at Liu Xiu proudly.
These six people are either thin or burly...... The eyes of the six people looking at Liu Xiu all showed a strong hostility.
The moment the door opened, six people poured directly into the mansion, arrogant.
"Liu Xiu, the acquaintance immediately handed over the Qingyu Sword, otherwise, you don't want to leave Xu County alive. ”
"Hand over the Qingyu Sword immediately, and you won't take a look at whose Qingyu Sword it is?
"The Qingyu Sword is a favorite thing, hand it over immediately. ”
The six people spoke one after another, and they all asked Liu Xiu to hand over the Qingyu Sword.
When Liu Xiu heard this, he understood.
These six young people are coming for the Qingyu Sword, and it seems that the younger generation is unwilling.
Qingyu Sword was won by Liu Xiu, Cao Cao, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and others, it is impossible to ask for it, and they will not come to ask for it. But the younger generation is unwilling.
Liu Xiu showed a look of disdain on his face, pointed to the Qingyu Sword he was wearing at his waist, and said, "If this son doesn't hand over the Qingyu Sword, what can you do?
As he spoke, Liu Xiu's gaze fell on one of them.
The person who came was none other than Dianman.
Liu looked sarcastic and said: "Dian Man, I lost in the school field that day, what's the matter, I still don't feel ashamed enough? Now I have gathered a group of people to commit murder, do you think you can scare me? ”
Liu Xiu's posture made Dian Man and others even more angry.
These people are menacing, but they didn't expect Liu Xiu to be even more arrogant and angry.
"Liu Xiu, your grandfather, I am Xu Yi, Xu Chu's son. If you have the guts, you will go head-to-head with me. You won me, Lao Tzu will not pursue the matter of Qingyu Sword. If you lose, obediently hand over the Sword. ”
Xu Yi was born burly and tall, and his eyes were even more fierce.
Liu Xiu glanced at Xu Yi and said lightly: "Xu Yi is right, very good, he is actually the son of a tiger general." It's a pity, Tiger Father and Dog Son. ”
When Xu Yi heard this, he immediately glared angrily, and he was even more murderous.
Liu Xiu ignored Xu Yi, looked around at the others, and said, "Six people, report their names one by one." ”
"I'm Xiahou Shang, and Xiahou Yuan is my uncle. If you hand over the Sword, I can dissuade you from pursuing this matter. Xiahou was still in his early twenties, his cheeks were thin, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed, Xiahou Shang is quite capable.
When Cao Cao was alive, Xiahou Shang successively served as the military Sima Huangmen squire and other official positions, and later once went on an expedition to Wuhuan with Cao Zhang, and returned victorious.
After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Xiahou Shang was appointed as the general of the expedition to the south, led the history of Jingzhou, and supervised the military affairs in the south during the false festival, which can be said to be in power.
During the period of ruling the south, Xiahou Shang led the army to attack the Shangyong of Shu, pacified the three counties and nine counties, and was promoted to the general of the southern expedition. Subsequently, he defeated Wu general Zhuge Jin in Jiangling and was promoted to Jingzhou pastor.
In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Xiahou Shang was also a general.
Liu Xiu knew Xiahou Shang in his last life, but he didn't expect to see the young Xiahou Shang now.
The current Xiahou Shang is a hairy boy, without the calmness and ability of later generations.
"My name is Xia Houen, and the Qingyu Sword is on my back. Sikong has two swords, one is a heavenly sword, and one is a green sword, I am the one who carries the sword for Sikong. ”
Xia Houen was born quite handsome, with sword eyebrows and a slightly sharp voice.
"My name is Cao Zhen, and I am a junior of Sikong. Liu Xiu, you are a concubine, you dare to accept the Qingyu Sword, and you are impatient. Hand over the Qingyu Sword immediately, otherwise, you won't be able to leave Xu County alive. ”
Cao Zhen's father died early, and Cao Cao adopted Cao Zhen, and he grew up with Cao Pi and others.
In other words, Cao Cao is Cao Zhen's father.
Cao Cao's saber Qingyu Sword was taken away, and Cao Zhen's heart was also angry.
Liu Xiu's eyes stared at Cao Zhen, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Cao Zhen is quite capable, but his sons are all straw bales, especially the eldest son Cao Shuang, who is one of the main people who led to Cao Wei's defeat. After Cao Fang, the third emperor of Cao Wei, ascended the throne, Cao Shuang was added to the rank of servant, served as a general, and was renamed the Marquis of Wu'an, with great power.
However, Cao Shuang appointed private individuals and was dictatorial and chaotic.
In 249 AD, Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Rebellion and killed Cao Shuang, and then Cao Shuang was even more punished.
Liu Xiu witnessed Cao Shuang being killed with his own eyes and knew the end of Cao Zhen's descendants.
Cao Zhen in front of him is still a young man.
"My name is Zhu Zan, and Cao Zhen is really good friends. ”
Zhu Zan looked burly and a little fat, and he stood in the crowd, extremely conspicuous.
After Liu Xiu listened to the introduction of the six people, he said: "Dian Man, Xu Yi, Xiahou Shangxiahou, En, Cao Zhen, Zhu Zan, the six of you, want to get back the Qingyu Sword, right?"
Cao Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's not to ask for it, it's for you to return." ”
Liu Xiu said: "One by one, I came to show off my might, and I didn't hand over the Qingyu Sword, what should you do?"
Xu Yi said again: "Liu Xiu, it is rumored that you are outstanding in martial arts. If you have the guts, just me and the fight, you won, and I won't interfere in the matter of Qingyu Sword. ”
Just now, Xu Yi challenged, but unfortunately Liu Xiu ignored him.
Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "You win, I will hand over the Qingyu Sword." But what if you lose?"
Xu Yi said loudly: "I can't lose to you!"
Liu Xiu said: "What if you lose?"
Xu Yi snorted and said, "I lost to you, you can say whatever the conditions are." In short, I won't lose to you. ”
Liu Xiu instructed: "Xiao Ai, go get paper and pen." ”
"No!"
Deng Ai turned around and ran towards the house.
Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu, and when he saw Liu Xiu dealing with it, he simply left. He stayed here, but it made it difficult for Liu Xiu, so he simply didn't interfere in this matter.
After a short time, Deng Ai came to the door.
Liu Xiu took the pen and ink, wrote the note on the paper, threw it into Xu Yi's hand, and said, "If you lose, you must let me tie you up and hang you at the door." If you agree, you will sign and draw, and if you disagree, you will break up. ”
After Xu Yi heard this, a hesitant look appeared on her face
