In the early morning, the morning sun is rising.

Liu Xiu got up early and then exercised in the yard.

Practicing martial arts is a matter of perseverance, and it must be persisted in for a long time. Even on the way from Xiangyang to Xuxian, Liu Xiu insisted on morning exercise in the morning and never slackened.

After Liu Xiuchen finished practicing, Deng Ai had already prepared washing utensils and breakfast.

Looking at Deng Ai, Liu Xiu suddenly said: "Xiao Ai, from today onwards, you go outside to find a small pebble and come back, and then read in your mouth." Long-term persistence can cure your stuttering. ”

"yes, I see. ”

Deng Ai nodded and wrote down Liu Xiu's words.

After breakfast, Liu Xiu went to Pang Degong's courtyard.

On the way, I actually ran into a clerk.

"General Zhongye, on the first night in Xu County, did you have a good rest?" asked Liu Xiu.

Wen Ping replied: "Thank you Gongzi for your concern, everything is fine." After a pause, Wen Ping said: "Master Xiu, just now the people from Sikong Mansion came to spread the word, Cao Cao is a guest at the night banquet in Sikong Mansion tonight, please go to the banquet." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said: "Before the birthday of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao wanted to set up a banquet alone, and the drunkard didn't mean to drink." ”

The two walked together and soon arrived at Pound's study.

Wen Ping told Pang Degong the news, and Pang Degong arranged: "Tonight's banquet, the three of us will go." ”

Wen Ping and Liu Xiu nodded and left, and went to their own business.

Liu Xiu prepared for the evening and went out of the house.

Xu County, Liu Xiu is no stranger.

In the previous life, after Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, he and Liu Cong were sent to Xu County. He stayed in Xu County for a while before he was sent to Yecheng, Jizhou.

Now it seems that Xu County does not have the scale of the future.

However, it is also quite prosperous.

Liu Xiu followed the memories in his mind and went to Yiran Residence.

Yiranju, located in the center of Xu County, is just an ordinary restaurant. However, the layout of the residence is very elegant, surrounded by green water and willow trees, which is very comfortable.

Liu Xiu knew that behind Yiranju, Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Hong was backing.

Cao Hong's family is wealthy, but he is extremely stingy and attaches great importance to money.

When Cao Pi was young, he once borrowed money from Cao Hong, but Cao Hong did not agree, causing Cao Pi to hold a grudge. After Cao Pi ascended the throne and became emperor, he took advantage of Cao Hong's disciples to break the law and put Cao Hong in prison and wanted to be executed.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Bian interceded, and Cao Hong was saved from death.

From another aspect, Cao Pi is the son of the world, and Cao Hong doesn't buy it, which shows the degree of his stinginess, and even more so his arrogance. Because of this, no one dares to provoke the existence of Yiranju.

After Liu Xiu entered Yiranju, he found an elegant room on the second floor and sat down to drink tea.

Returning to Xu County, sitting in the middle of Yiran, Liu Xiu's mood was mixed.

In Xu County, there are too many memories.

"Ouch, guest officer, what are you doing here? There is really no place for the private room upstairs. ”

In the corridor, there was the voice of the shopkeeper.

After Liu Xiu heard it, he suddenly laughed, in his previous life, he was in Yiranju, and he often encountered such a situation. Because, the person who came to Yiranju was Deng Zhan.

It's not that there is no elegant room on the second floor, it's that Deng Zhan has no money.

Deng Zhan likes to come to Yiranju to drink, but he doesn't have enough money in his pocket. Deng Zhan can sit in the lobby below, but if you want to go to the second floor, you need to spend a certain amount of money.

"Come less, don't lie to me, Lao Tzu likes to sit on the second floor. ”

A loud voice followed.

Liu Xiujian's eyebrows were upside down, and his eyes showed a look of surprise.

Familiar sounds!

Familiar tone!

The person who came was Deng Zhan.

Liu Xiu was overjoyed and ordered: "Second brother, the person who came is my friend, bring someone over." ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper glanced at Deng Zhan, snorted, and waved his hand: "Please!"

Deng Zhan smiled, held his head high, and walked towards the elegant room where Liu Xiu was. He lifted the curtain, sat down opposite Liu Xiu, and arched his hand: "Brother, thank you." ”

Liu Xiu bowed slightly, and then ordered: "Xiao Er, put on a pot of pots of flowers." ”

Baihua Liquor is the signature liquor of Yiranju, and in the entire Xu County, only Yiranju sells it, and there is no other one.

Deng Zhan's eyes narrowed, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

Baihua is his favorite wine.

The young man in front of him, who drank directly, must have understood him. In particular, Deng Zhan observed that the other party only drank tea, not alcohol. In this case, the other party asked Xiao Er to take a pot of potpourri brew, which exposed too much news.

After Xiao Er went to drink, Deng Zhan said: "Who is Your Excellency, what is the matter with me?"

Liu Xiu poured a full bottle of wine for Deng Zhan and said: "Meeting is fate, drink first." ”

Deng Zhan was not polite, and after drinking, he asked again: "Say, what is the matter with me?"

Liu Xiu took a sip of tea and thought in his heart how to explain to Deng Zhan. He can't say, Deng Zhan, I'm your friend in my last life, we met again, how are you doing?

It is estimated that as soon as he opened his mouth, Deng Zhan slipped away directly.

In Liu Xiu's mind, a flash of spiritual light flashed, and he said, "Does Your Excellency know Deng Li?"

"Are you Deng Li's man?"

Deng Zhan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his sharp murderous aura approached Liu Xiu.

In terms of swordsmanship, Deng Zhan far surpassed Deng Li.

Liu Xiu's expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head and said: "I don't know Deng Li, and I don't have a friendship with Deng Li, I just have a little intersection." Deng Li once led someone to assassinate me. In the end, I was killed by a sword. ”

"You killed Deng Li?"

Deng Zhan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The young man in front of him gave him an ordinary feeling that he could actually kill Deng Li.

The edge is hidden!

The young man in front of him is probably not ordinary.

Deng Zhan suddenly regretted going out today, originally wanted to mix a sip of wine in Yiranju, but he didn't expect that there would be trouble.

Liu Xiu continued: "I asked Deng Li, and before he died, he said that the person who instructed him to assassinate me was Deng Zhan. ”

"This bastard, bloody mouth. ”

When Deng Zhan heard this, anger rose in his eyes.

Between Deng Li and Deng Zhan, the momentum is like fire and water, he and Deng Li have already broken off their friendship, and it is impossible to instruct Deng Li. Moreover, Deng Li is mixed in Xiangyang, and he is in Xu County, and the two have no intersection at all.

This is clearly a disaster, and you have to deal with him if you die.

Deng Zhan's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If I say that I didn't instruct Deng Li, do you believe it?"

"Believe!"

Liu Xiu didn't think about it, and spoke directly.

Deng Zhan didn't expect the other party to be so cheerful, and asked, "Why?"

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Because after careful investigation, I have found out the instigator behind the scenes." ”

The corners of Deng Zhan's mouth twitched slightly, and he was worried in vain.

Thankfully, the results were found.

Liu Xiu said: "When I checked Deng Li's identity, I also found something. Brother Deng and Deng Li are from the same school, but Deng Li's swordsmanship is mediocre, and his personality is even more rotten, but His Excellency's swordsmanship is exquisite, and he is quite heroic. ”

Deng Zhan smiled, poured a full amount of wine, and said after drinking: "The elder brother has praised it, it is all praise from friends, and it is not worth mentioning." ”

Liu Xiu said again: "Brother Deng has been coming to Xu County for some time, right?"

"It's been almost three years!"

Deng Zhan's eyes revealed a trace of loneliness.

After he completed his martial arts, he went down the mountain to enter the WTO, thinking that Xu County was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there must be many opportunities, and he wanted to make a career in Xu County, but he didn't expect that it would be difficult to move an inch, but he achieved nothing.

Liu Xiu knew that it would be a few years before Deng Zhan got Cao Pi's favor.

Now, Deng Zhan is still wandering.

Coincidentally, this gave him the opportunity to subdue Deng Zhan.

Liu Xiu took a sip of tea, then sat upright, and said, "I can give you a chance to show your talents, I don't know if you are willing to follow me?"

"Your Excellency?"

When Deng Zhan heard this, his title changed.

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Under Liu Xiu, the third son of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao. Cao Cao congratulated the Son of Heaven on his birthday, and followed his teacher Pang Degong to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Ahh

When Deng Zhan heard this, he was immediately surprised.

Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Deng Zhan knows, that is the prince who dominates one side.

Liu Xiu is Liu Biao's third son, and he is definitely not bad.

Deng Zhan was dejected in Xu County and never found a chance to stand out. Now, Liu Xiu made a request, and Deng Zhan's heart became excited.

Deng Zhan was not afraid of Liu Xiu's deception, because it was impossible to deceive him.

Liu Xiu's identity will be known after a little inquiry.

Deng Zhan stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Deng Zhan, I am willing to serve my son." ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand to signal Deng Zhan to sit down, with a smile on his face, and said, "With Brother Deng's help, I have one more usable material by my side." I replaced the wine with tea and toasted Brother Deng with a glass. ”

Deng Zhan was excited, and after drinking, he began to talk about the situation in Xu County.

Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan were good brothers in their last life, and when they saw Deng Zhan, they had no barriers, and they spoke extremely easily
