Chapter 48: Wake up
In the bedroom, the lights are flickering.
A faint light, constantly swaying and shaking.
When Liu Xiu opened his eyes, he felt a heart-rending pain in his chest, back and back. He fought with Deng Li and the killer, and there were too many wounds left on his body. After Lang Zhong's bandaging and medicine, although the wound was stopped, it could not be recovered in a day or two.
"Ahh
Liu Xiuchang breathed a sigh of relief and tried to struggle up, but as soon as his body moved, he pulled the wound.
"Shhh
The pain of the wound hurts into the bone marrow.
Helpless, Liu Xiu had to lie down, and his eyes suddenly fell to the side.
Huang Yueying was lying on the edge of the bed, already asleep.
"This girl, at night, doesn't go back to rest, but stays here. ”
Liu Xiu's heart is warm.
Reaching out to brush Huang Yueying's hair, Liu Xiu's eyes revealed a trace of love. Fighting on Lumen Mountain during the day is too bloody and too frightening, and this girl is also scared enough.
"Hmm..."
Huang Yueying woke up from her sleep and opened her sleepy eyes.
Blurred vision, become clear.
Seeing Liu Xiu wake up, she suddenly became happy and said excitedly: "It's great that you're awake." Huang Yueying rubbed her eyes and said again: "What you want to eat, I'll make it for you right away." ”
Liu Xiu said: "Just boil some porridge!"
"Well, I'm going to prepare. ”
Huang Yueying's tense heart was relieved.
Finally, I woke up.
Liu Xiu smiled slightly and said, "You invite the teacher, I have something to say." ”
"Good!"
After Huang Yueying went down, not long after, Ma Hui and Huang Chengyan of Pound Company came.
The expressions of the three of them were all concerned.
Sima Hui quipped: "Boy, this time the hero saves the beauty, and he is ruthlessly out of the limelight, which is amazing." ”
Liu Xiu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Decao, don't make fun of me, this time, I almost lost my life." Fortunately, Yueying was not injured, otherwise my sin would have been great. ”
Huang Chengyan said with a straight face: "Who are the people who killed you? ”
Liu Xiudao: "At that time, I thought about it, and I also thought about this issue after I woke up. has the motive to assassinate the Ma family, as well as the second brother Liu Cong. However, I think that the second brother's suspicion is greater, and the Ma family's suspicion is very small. ”
Pang Degong nodded and said, "After the three of us old guys put it together, we think so too. It's just that after the bodies of the six assassins were brought back, there was no direction to find for the time being, and the clues were broken here. ”
Liu Xiudao: "The assassin who took the lead is named Deng Li, a native of Nanyang, and he should be a ranger in Xiangyang. If you want to trace, you can follow this clue to verify. However, I don't think there are many clues, and they must have been cut off. ”
Pang Degong wrote down Deng Li's name and said, "No matter what, you have to check it." After a pause, Pang Degong said again: "You were assassinated this time, I discussed it with Chengyan, and decided to handle your marriage with Yueying first, get engaged first, and then hold the marriage after you are crowned, what do you think?"
Liu Xiudao: "Teacher, when it comes to getting married to Yueying, I said that I would give me two years." Now, how did it suddenly change?"
Pang Degong patted Liu Xiu's shoulder and said, "You don't need to know about this matter, you just need to know, and the teacher won't harm you." This matter was also agreed to by Chengyan. ”
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "The teacher is doing this, is he planning to split the Cai family?
Pang Degong's body was shocked, and his face showed a look of shock.
He didn't expect that Liu Xiu could see through the intention at a glance, and this vision was quite extraordinary.
Huang Chengyan nodded and said, "I discussed with Duke De, and I plan to use this matter to split the Cai family." Yueying's assassination must not be counted like this. ”
Sima Hui said: "Cultivation boy, the current situation is not good for you. If you get engaged to Yueying first, it will be much better for you. ”
In Liu Xiu's mind, he began to think carefully.
It is true that getting engaged to Huang Yueying is a better choice for him. In this way, he had a connection with the Huang family, and naturally got the support of the Huang family.
Moreover, Huang Yueying's mother is the daughter of the Cai family.
Once Liu Xiu became the son-in-law of the Da Cai family, it was impossible for the Cai family to fully support Liu Cong.
In this way, Liu Xiu has the support of the Pang family, the Huang family and half of the Cai family, and there is a huge force behind him, no matter who wants to deal with Liu Xiu, he has to think about it.
However, this is not what Liu Xiu wants.
Liu Xiu likes Huang Yueying, hoping to marry Huang Yueying with his own strength.
It's a man's insistence!
Liu Xiu didn't want other factors to be mixed in his relationship with Huang Yueying.
Even though the third life is a human being, he is used to ups and downs, but deep in his heart, there are always some things that need to be insisted on.
Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Teacher, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. Decao, thank you for your kindness. This time Yueying was implicated, but I was not capable enough to protect Yueying. ”
"But, believe me, this time it will never happen again. ”
"I like Yueying, and I will definitely marry her back in style, not so hasty. ”
"A man's husband, there are things to do and things not to do, I don't want other factors to be mixed in the relationship with Yueying. The disciple wanted to be helped, and he understood that once engaged, there were too many benefits. ”
However, the disciple was unwilling. ”
"Marrying Yueying is a lifelong event, and I won't let Yueying feel the slightest grievance. ”
Liu Xiu looked at Pang Degong and the three of them, and said solemnly: "Mr. Chengyan, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. Decao, this time, leave the matter to me, is it okay?"
Pang Degong frowned, he never thought that Liu Xiu would oppose it, and he didn't agree.
Huang Chengyan's eyes were also unbelievable.
For Liu Xiu, engagement is a good and harmless thing, but I didn't expect Liu Xiu to refuse.
Suddenly, Huang Chengyan laughed and said, "Okay, good, good Liu Xiu." In the face of great temptation, it is not easy to abide by one's heart and stick to oneself. Yueying's vision is better than that of me, who is a father. I'll leave this matter to you. ”
After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Huang Chengyan admired Liu Xiu even more.
This son-in-law, he chosen.
Pang Degong glanced at Huang Chengyan, and said in his heart that you would defect so quickly, he glanced at Liu Xiu, and sighed lightly: "Xiu'er, since Chengyan has agreed, the old man will no longer stop him." The matter between you and Liu Cong will be handled by you. ”
Sima Hui said: "Cultivation boy, it's really good. ”
Liu Xiuyun smiled and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, the three elders owe me and Yueying, I will get it back one by one." I'll take care of this. ”
......
Cai Mansion, study.
Cai Mao was sitting in a precarious position, handling official business.
It's just that Cai Mao is unsettled and can't calm down. He put down the brush in his hand and said, "Today is the time for Deng Li to act, could it be that something went wrong?" Deng Li is ruthless and cunning, and his swordsmanship is exquisite, so it should be impossible for him to have a problem. ”
"Knock! knock!"
There was a knock on the door, outside the study.
Cai Mao said: "Come in!"
The door creaked, and the butler walked in quickly and said, "Master, the mission has failed." ”
Brush!
Cai Mao's face changed suddenly.
What I was worried about turned out to be a reality.
Cai Mao's face sank like water and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific news, but the people who inquired about the news in Lumen Mountain only saw Liu Xiu seriously injured and returned to the Pang family, and Huang Yueying returned safe and sound." Soon after, Deng Li and five other assassins were killed. ”
Cai Mao's face was even colder, and he scolded: "A group of waste, six people, didn't even kill Liu Xiu. ”
The housekeeper asked, "Master, what now?"
Cai Mao said in a deep voice: "What else can I do, cut off all the clues." When you were looking for Deng Li, did you expose your whereabouts?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the place where I saw Deng Li was a random place, and Deng Li didn't see my appearance." Especially Deng Li is dead, and there is no proof of death. ”
Cai Mao bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "With Pang Degong's eyesight, he will definitely suspect us." Now, be careful with yourself and don't show your feet. ”
"No!"
The butler nodded, looking respectful.
Cai Mao flicked his sleeves and said, "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the State Pastoral Mansion." ”
The housekeeper suggested: "If the head of the family goes to the state pastor's mansion at this time, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion, so it is better for the old slave to send someone to pass the news over, so that it will not attract attention." ”
After hearing this, Cai Mao sat down.
After pondering for a long time, Cai Mao nodded and said, "You go and arrange it, remember, you must arrange reliable people." ”
"No!"
When the butler received the order, he turned and withdrew.
When the news reached Cai's hands, Cai's heart was regretful and even more disappointed. I thought that Liu Xiu would definitely die this time, but I didn't expect Liu Xiu to still escape. She left the yard, personally walked to Liu Cong's yard, and told Liu Cong the news.
After getting the news, Liu Cong was even more disappointed.
In Liu Cong's opinion, Liu Xiu was specifically against him, making him uncomfortable everywhere.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu still escaped.
Cai Shi looked at Liu Cong and instructed: "This assassination failed, Liu Xiu will not give up, and Pang Degong behind him will not give up, and he will definitely investigate to the end." What you're going to do now is just pretend to be nothing, you know?"
Liu Cong nodded and said, "Mother rest assured, my son understands." ”
Cai said: "Liu Xiu escaped, it was his fate. To deal with Liu Xiu, there will be opportunities in the future. Don't show flaws, otherwise it will affect your future. ”
Liu Cong smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry." ”
"It's late at night, and my mother doesn't stay long, so pay attention to yourself. ”
Cai sighed lightly and turned to leave.
In fact, until now, Cai's is also a little powerless. dealt with Liu Xiu several times, and each time, it ended in failure, and he didn't take Liu Xiu, but let Liu Xiu take advantage of the situation step by step.
Cai's heart was even more faintly worried.
Liu Cong sent Cai away and returned to the room, with a burst of anger
