Chapter 547: Let the old man protect
"Your Majesty, why are you back again? What the hell is going on? The old man asked.
Liu Xie was out of breath and told me about meeting a woman.
He begged the old man to protect him and escort him to Youzhou.
"Uncle, I don't know if it's okay?"
"What? Is there such a thing? The old man said in surprise.
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Yes, old man." I didn't expect that there would be such rampant people in this troubled world. ”
The old man pondered for a while, and finally agreed. He patted Liu Xie's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry." The grass people will protect you. Then I'll go with you to Youzhou. ”
Liu Xie listened to it and was happy in his heart.
He hurriedly said, "Thank you, old man." After you arrive in Youzhou, you can ask Xi Yu to pay you. ”
The old man smiled and said, "There is no need for payment. Grass people just do what grass people are supposed to do. ”
Liu Xie was full of emotion in his heart.
He couldn't help but have a respect for the old man. What a good guy I met.
That night, Xi Yu left Cao's house and returned to the barracks.
He learned that several soldiers were teasing Cao Pi, and he was very angry.
"How can there be such a thing? Call them in. ”
After a while, several soldiers arrived.
"What's going on with you? How can you treat Cao Pi like this? Xi Yu asked.
The soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to meet the eyes of the playful man.
"Speak." Xi Yu asked.
Several soldiers hurriedly knelt down.
"King, we just want to tease him, there is no malice." The soldier said.
Xi Yu frowned and said, "You know what? By doing so, you will make us passive. ”
When the time comes, won't people say that Xi Yu treats the captives well?
The soldiers nodded and said, "King, we know that we are wrong. ”
Xi Yu sighed and said, "Okay, you have also been punished, you go down." ”
After speaking, Xi Yu turned around and left.
He came to Cao Pi and apologized to him.
"Cao Pi, I apologize to you on behalf of those soldiers." Xi Yu said.
Cao Pi sat on the chair and looked at Xi Yu with cold eyes.
"Are you pretending to care about me? Why didn't you kill me? Why are you trapping me? Cao Pi said.
Xi Yu smiled and said, "I won't kill you because you are a talent." ”
Cao Pi listened to it and was shocked in his heart.
"Are you sarcastic about me?" Cao Pi said.
Xi Yu said: "No, I'm just stating the facts. ”
Cao Pi was so angry that he trembled, he pointed at Xi Yu and said, "You...... You...... Kill me. ”
Xi Yu didn't think so, but satirized Cao Pi.
"I won't kill you, you can choose to commit suicide, don't you have the courage?" Xi Yu said.
Cao Pi was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to answer, his face was red.
At this time, Xi Yu told Cao Pi that the housekeeper and the woman were going to assassinate him, and now he has been sent to prison.
Cao Pi was taken aback, he didn't expect the housekeeper to be faithful to him, and then, there was a sadness in his heart.
Xi Yu left immediately.
It was another morning, and the sun was shining through the cracks in the tent on the ground, forming patches of light.
Xi Yu stepped out of the tent and breathed in the fresh air.
He decided to return to the court this time. I'm about to leave Luoyang.
Xi Yu gathered all the generals and announced his decision.
"Generals, we are about to return to the court. Before returning to the dynasty, we must be fully prepared to leave Sun Quan in charge of this place. Xi Yu said.
The generals nodded, they all knew what Xi Yu meant.
"Your majesty, your subordinates will do their best." Sun Quan clenched his fists and said.
Xi Yu nodded and said, "Okay, then let's start acting." ”
As a result, the generals took action one after another and began to organize the soldiers to pack their bags and prepare to return to the DPRK.
Xi Yu stood on the camp, looking at the busy soldiers, his heart was full of emotion.
On the other side, Liu Xie had the help of the old man, and the fear in his heart gradually dissipated.
He looked at the old man gratefully, smiled and asked, "Uncle, what is your name?" ”
The old man took a puff of dry tobacco, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said with a smile: "My surname is Nie, you can just call me Lao Nie." ”
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Uncle Nie, thank you so much." I really don't know what to do without your help. ”
Lao Nie waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be polite, it's just a matter for the grass people." ”
The next day, they rode away on a horse.
They came to the bridge again, and Liu Xie pointed to the other side of the bridge and said, "Uncle Nie, that's where I met that woman." He told me that there were robberies. ”
Lao Nie nodded and said, "Then let's start paying attention from here." ”
They continued along the road.
Along the way, Liu Xie and Lao Nie were vigilant and kept an eye on the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of horses' hooves ahead.
Immediately after, several dark shadows appeared in their sight.
The men, dressed in black, with fierce faces and large knives in their hands, blocked their way.
Their eyes were greedily fixed on Liu Xie and Lao Nie.
One of them sneered and said, "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road money!" ”
Liu Xie's heart tightened, it seemed that he was robbed.
He looked at Lao Nie, and then said, "Guys, we are just passing by here, and we don't have much money on us. ”
One of them said, "Don't talk nonsense, hand over all your money, or you won't want to get out of here alive." ”
Liu Xie said: "Why are you doing this? Aren't you afraid of the punishment of the law? ”
One of them sneered and said, "The law? Haha, what's the use of the law? It's all because the emperor is mediocre and the common people live in misery, and we do this to survive. ”
After Liu Xie heard this, he felt a fever on his face.
He didn't expect that as an emperor, he would make life so difficult for the people.
Lao Nie said: "Guys, no matter what, it's not right for you to do this. You should go for a serious job, not get a robbery here. ”
One of them said, "Do you think we don't want to get on an errand?" There is no place for us in this society. ”
Lao Nie said: "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude." Don't regret it. ”
Those few people looked at Lao Nie, and their hearts were full of disdain.
"What can an old man do?" One of them said.
Lao Nie smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me, an old man. Although I am old, I still have martial arts. ”
When the men heard this, they burst out laughing.
They thought Lao Nie was bragging.
"You old man is really overwhelmed. We're not to be trifled with. One of them said.
Lao Nie said: "If you are disobedient, don't blame me for being rude." ”
The men said, "If you have any ability, go ahead." ”
Lao Nie said: "Okay, then don't blame me." ”
After speaking, Lao Nie asked Liu Xie to dodge, and he wanted to punish a few people.
Liu Xie nodded and quickly hid to the side.
Old Nie took a deep breath, and then quickly rushed towards those people.
I saw that Lao Nie was agile, using both fists and feet, and knocked those people to the ground in a few strokes.
The men were lying on the ground, moaning incessantly.
"You guys, you really don't know how thick the sky is." Lao Nie said.
Those few people looked at Lao Nie in horror, they didn't expect an old man to be so powerful.
"We were wrong, we were wrong. If you have a lot of them, please spare us. The men said.
Lao Nie said: "Don't do this kind of thing in the future." Otherwise, I will not spare you. ”
Those few people nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, we won't dare in the future." ”
Lao Nie said, "Okay, let's go." ”
The men struggled to their feet, then limped away.
Liu Xie said: "Uncle Nie, thank you so much. ”
"Your Majesty, why are you so polite? Now that the grass people are willing to follow you, they are ready. ”
Next, they continued on their way, and the road was particularly peaceful.
There are no more kidnappers and robbers or anything like that.
And Liu Xie also understood that a few robbers were not because of the chaos of the world at all, but because they were idle.
Therefore, my heart is no longer so unsteady.
They also felt a lot more relieved along the way.
Liu Xie and the old man rushed to Youzhou first, and they came to the gate of the theater.
The soldiers guarding the gate were new arrivals.
They didn't know Xi Yu.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”
Liu Xie told the soldiers guarding the gate his identity and took out the token.
"I am the Holy One today."
When the soldier saw it, he quickly knelt down.
"See Your Majesty!" The soldier said.
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Get up." ”
The soldier said, "Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xie said: "I want to see the king of your family, you go and report it." ”
The soldier said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Please wait. ”
With that, the soldier turned and left to report.
Liu Xie looked at the gate of the theater and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He didn't expect that he would come here again.
It's been a very difficult journey.
The old man looked at Liu Xie from the side, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The soldier hurried to Ouyang Linlin's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Ouyang Linlin's voice came from the room.
The soldier pushed open the door and stepped inside.
"Madame, I have news for you." The soldier said.
Ouyang Linlin was playing cards with Sun Shangxiang, Xi Shi, and Song Meijiao. When they heard the soldier's words, they all looked up at the soldier.
"What's the news?" Ouyang Linlin asked.
The soldier said, "Your Majesty has come to the house." ”
Ouyang Linlin was shocked when she heard this.
"What? Your Majesty has come to the house? Ouyang Linlin said.
Sun Shangxiang, Xi Shi, and Song Meijiao also stopped, and they were all very surprised.
"Could it be impersonation?" Sun Shangxiang said.
Ouyang Linlin said: "Probably not. Who would dare to pretend to be Your Majesty? ”
"Then let's go check it out." Shih Tzu said.
So, they put down the cards in their hands, quickly got up, and walked in the direction of the guest room.
After a while, the soldiers came out.
"Your Majesty, a few ladies are waiting at the door of the guest room, you can come in." The soldier said.
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in." ”
So, Liu Xie and the old man followed the soldiers to the guest room.
The rooms are exquisitely furnished, with a landscape map hanging on the wall and a pot of orchids on the table, exuding a burst of fragrance.
After a while, several ladies came.
"See Your Majesty!" Said the ladies.
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Get up." ”
Several ladies said, "Your Majesty. ”
Liu Xie said: "You don't have to be so polite. I was just passing by and missing Xiyu, so I came to see him. ”
Ouyang Linlin said: "So that's the case. Your Majesty, you may be seated. ”
Liu Xie said: "Okay. ”
Ouyang Linlin said, "Your Majesty, are you going to live in the mansion for a while?" ”
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Yes." I want to stay here for a while. ”
Ouyang Linlin said, "Okay." The courtesy will arrange for someone to prepare a room for you. ”
So, Ouyang Linlin asked people to prepare a room for Liu Xie, and lived in the room where Liu Xie lived last time.
Liu Xie said: "By the way, this old man has a meritorious escort, and I hope that Mrs. Ouyang can reward some money." ”
Ouyang Linlin nodded and said, "Okay." The father will arrange for a reward for him. ”
When Lao Nie heard this, he was very grateful in his heart, "Your Majesty, the grass people will leave first." ”
Liu Xie said: "Okay. Uncle Nie has really worked hard. ”
So the old man turned and left.
Ouyang Linlin and a few others returned to the room and continued to play cards.
While playing cards, they discussed the situation of Liu Xie's arrival here.
"Why did Your Majesty come here all of a sudden?" Ouyang Linlin said.
"Maybe I miss my husband." Sun Shangxiang said.
"But he looked like he had come from far away." Shih Tzu said.
"yes, what the hell is wrong with him?" Song Meijiao said.
Ouyang Linlin said: "Forget it, let's not guess." Let's wait until my husband returns. ”
So, they continued to play cards.
Xi Yu rode on his horse, his eyes fixed on the front.
"We don't go back to Youzhou directly, but go to Chang'an." Xi Yu said.
Suddenly he thought of something.
When Zhao Yun heard Xi Yu's decision, he had some doubts in his heart.
He grabbed the reins, approached Xi Yu, and asked, "My lord, why did you go to Chang'an?" ”
Xi Yu looked at Zhao Yun with a smile and said, "It's a good thing to defeat Cao Pi, we should go to the emperor to report the good news." ”
Zhao Yun understood what Xi Yu meant. He nodded and said, "My lord, you want to pass on this news to Your Majesty and let him know how powerful we are. ”
Xi Yu nodded and said, "Yes." Your Majesty may already know the news, but we have to show our attitude. We would like to express our loyalty and respect to Your Majesty. ”
A wave of admiration swelled up in Zhao Yun's heart. He looked at Xi Yu and said, "King, you are really far-sighted. ”
Xi Yu smiled and said, "This is just what I should do as a courtier. ”
Of course, Xi Yu also understands, and Zhao Yun must understand his thoughts. When I went to see the emperor, I said that I wanted to report the good news, but in fact I was showing off.
Because the next step must be faced with the abdication of the emperor and the implementation of a constitutional monarchy.
Xi Yu knew that his actions might cause dissatisfaction and opposition from some people. However, he also knows that the inevitable trend of this development is all for the happiness of the people.
Liu Xie sat in the room, his gaze empty and confused. He felt extremely safe, but also extremely lonely.
He knew that Xi Yu hadn't come back yet, but he already knew that Xi Yu had indeed killed Cao Pi. There was joy and anxiety in his heart.
He was pleased that he had finally gotten rid of Cao Pi's threat, and he no longer had to worry about Cao Pi occupying the Central Plains.
He worries that Xi Yu's victory means his own defeat.
He knew that he could no longer control the fate of the Great Han.
He sat there, motionless, as if he had lost all his life.
Before you know it, it's time for dinner.
Immediately, someone sent a sumptuous meal, but unfortunately Liu Xie was the only one to eat.
After all, he is the emperor, and no one is qualified to eat with him.
Therefore, Liu Xie felt a little lonely.
He hoped that Xi Yu would come back quickly.
After eating, Ouyang Linlin walked in and immediately saluted.
"Mrs. Ouyang, don't be polite."
"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks of the food?"
"It's very good, it's just too much, you can't eat it at all, so don't waste it too much."
Ouyang Linlin said that the emperor finally came once, and he must serve him well.
"Mrs. Ouyang, don't say that, otherwise it will make me even more upset. By the way, I don't know when Xi Yu will come back? ”
"The courtiers don't know."
At this time, Song Meijiao came outside.
Ouyang Linlin said with a smile: "The princess is here, why don't you have a good chat." ”
Liu Xie nodded.
Then, the brother and sister began to talk.
"Brother Huang, I don't know why you came this time? Can my sister ask? ”
Liu Xie sighed: "I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes when I say it, there are rebels in the palace." ”
So, Liu Xie told the relevant situation, and after he finished speaking, he sighed, he said that he was too cowardly, this kind of practice was simply too embarrassing, and he was a deserter.
"No, Brother Huang, you must not say that."
"So this is also a desperate way to come to Xiyu."
"Don't worry, husband is the safest here."
Just after saying this, Song Meijiao also realized that the imperial brother might be particularly embarrassed.
"Okay, Brother Huang, let's talk about something else, I don't know what you've encountered along the way, why are you the only one?"
Liu Xie sighed and told the story of the death of the little eunuch.
Speaking of which, a few tears fell.
Then he said, why did Lao Nie come to escort him? It's also because of the fear of encountering robbers.
"In short, I feel very cowardly, my sister must not laugh at the royal brother."
"Where does the royal brother say, the imperial brother can be so honest and tell the imperial sister all these things, and the imperial sister will only be very happy."
Liu Xie also knew that the atmosphere was a little thick, and then chatted about other topics. (End of chapter)
