Chapter 18: Return to the King's Mansion Again
If there was nothing else, Xu Wei could have followed Lu Xiao to the other mansions of the Lu family to avoid the limelight, on the one hand, he could reduce the chance of getting involved with Yuwen Jackie Chan again, on the other hand, Xu Wei could also take care of each other with Lu Xiao, after all, the main city of Shendu City is actually not very peaceful now, because the alleys are dilapidated and sparsely populated, there are many homeless people and outlaws hiding in it.
However, before escorting Lu Xiao into the main city, Xu Wei had another extremely important thing to do, that is, to go to Xiaoshanfang to get back the two knives he had deposited in Wang Liu's house, these two knives were obtained by Xu Wei in the last battle with the West Wolf Clan, in short, they were all exchanged for the lives of his brothers, he didn't know how much these two knives were worth, he only knew that this was a priceless treasure that he had to keep no matter what.
Xu Wei's original intention was to go to Wang Liu's Mansion to get the double knives, and then meet Lu Xiao and the others, his mood at the moment is actually comfortable and even happy, despite the lingering search of Yuwen Jackie Chan, but since meeting Lu Xiao again, Xu Wei can clearly feel that his life and soul are gradually enriched.
It's just that Lu Xiao is not worried that Xu Wei will go to Wang Liu's Mansion alone, Wang Liu's person actually has some family wealth and connections, and he eats, wears, lives and travels very publicly, so Lu Xiao has also heard of Wang Liu's name. In particular, about a year ago, Wang Liu was still talking at the gathering of merchants in Shendu, and absorbed a large amount of money from many merchants to run his "ten thousand gold treasury".
However, Wang Liu's reputation for greed for money is far more well-known than his financial strength, and it is said that he will use it for some antique treasures, whether it is cheating or more severe forceful methods.
Especially Wang Liu, who spends a lot of money on weekdays, and now he is in need of money, who knows what kind of means he will use to Xu Wei.
Although Xu Wei has resigned several times, saying that not only is his body fine, but he has even improved a lot because of Huang Bo's treatment, he will definitely not be afraid of Wang Liu's small methods. But Lu Xiao only knew that Xu Wei had just recovered from a serious illness, and it was time to recuperate, and a person would definitely still be prone to danger, plus Shendu businessmen, especially Wang Liu, who had more than 800 hearts and eyes all over his body, who knew what he would give Xu Wei next.
At the side door of the backyard of the Lu Mansion, Lu Xiao twisted Xu Wei's sleeve with his hand, and persuaded him while pulling him into the carriage: "Xu Gongzi, don't worry, Wang Liuzhi is my brother, and he will definitely not dare to touch me, and I am familiar with the bad intentions of these Shendu merchants, and I will definitely be able to help you get the two treasure knives back." ”
"Hurry up, Second Miss, we have to take advantage of Yuwen Chenglong and their dinner to quickly escape from the other side of the Zhuangzi." Wu Banjin, who was driving the car, urged nervously: "Xu Gongzi, don't twist and pinch anymore, the second miss, she just wants to follow you." ”
Lu Xiao heard Wu Banjin's last half of the words, a delicate pink glow rose from the jade neck to her smooth and silky cheeks, she knocked on the carriage with her small fist, pointed at Wu Banjin and said, "Do you want to talk more?" Besides, why are you here? ”
"I ......" Wu Banjin looked like Si Swenwen, and there was still some cleverness in his eyebrows and eyes, he smiled honestly and said "hehe": "You can't let the second lady drive the carriage herself, this is not Xiuxiu called me here." ”
Xiuxiu followed behind Lu Xiao and Xu Wei with two small packages, and after listening to Wu Banjin's words, she was ashamed and said, "Didn't you have to follow?" Say you're good at horsemanship, you're smart, and it's no problem to protect three people. ”
Wu Banjin, who was pierced by Xiuxiu's original words, touched his head and continued to laugh, "Hahahaha, isn't there still Xu Gongzi to cover this?" With my wisdom and Xu Gongzi's ability, it must be invincible in Shendu City. ”
"Yes, yes, then I will have to worry about Mr. Wu along the way." Xu Wei saw that Wu Banjin was enthusiastic, so he also responded with a smile, and helped Lu Xiao into the carriage. Lu Xiao actually wears Hufu men's clothes on weekdays, but this time he didn't change his clothes in a hurry, and he still wore a long light-colored red-sleeved shirt with a simple and capable bun.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Xu doesn't want to be bluffed by his poor mouth, just call him half a catty." Lu Xiao, who got into the car, looked back at Xu Weiying and smiled.
Regarding the matter of the four of them going to Wang Liu's Mansion to get knives together, Xu Wei did not say anything to shirk it, in the final analysis, it was to take two knives, and he also knew the skills of Wang Liu's subordinates, no different from street scoundrels, nothing more than being able to pinch soft persimmons, and Xu Wei could handle it alone if he really wanted to fight.
After getting the knife, he followed Lu Xiao and the others to the main city to avoid the limelight, and then made other plans when all the turmoil passed.
Shendu City and its surroundings, which have a large number of people and have been actively ignored by the imperial court, can be regarded as one of the best choices for Xu Wei.
In addition, Xu Wei also saw Zhao Yan and others in the Moon Tower a few days ago, although things are not people, in fact, Xu Wei still wants to know how his young companions are doing now, and he also wants to know if Chen Wenao, who is the self-proclaimed owner of Chen, who is the owner of Chen, who is still living in his emperor dream.
And more importantly...... Xu Wei quietly glanced at Lu Xiao, who was holding his Peugeot chin and looking out of the window, and the latter turned his head to look at Xu Wei at the same time as if he had a heart, and between looking at each other, Xu Wei smiled and lowered his head.
Just now, Wu Banjin said that Lu Xiao wanted to follow Xu Wei, in fact, if he could leave everything behind, how could Xu Wei not want to follow the Jiangnan woman in front of him all the time, but he understood that the premise of all this was that he could cut off the past he was carrying without touching a leaf.
Wu Banjin's skills in driving the carriage are really good, fast and steady, the carriage quickly stopped in front of Wang Liufu, in order to be able to leave as soon as possible, Lu Xiao did not let Wu Banjin go to tie the horse, but stopped outside the door and waited, and he followed Xu Wei to Wang Liufu to knock on the door.
This time, the door of Wang Liu's Mansion was quickly knocked open by Xu Wei, and it was the monkey-faced nursing home who had eaten with Xu Wei before who came to open the door.
Xu Wei was about to speak, but maybe it was because his eyes were too cold when he was expressionless, or maybe this Wang Liu and the others did something bad behind his back, so frightened that the monkey-faced courtyard immediately turned around and ran away, and crawled into the inner courtyard with a roll.
Walking into the courtyard of Wang Liufu, a haggard woman hurriedly walked out, she looked at Xu Wei, tears were about to come out, she quickly stepped forward to hold Xu Wei's arm and said: "Seeing that Xu Gongzi is fine, it's really good, a few days ago I sent someone to inquire, thinking that you let those short-lived wicked people in Lu Mansion be killed, I wanted to leave, but after thinking about you as a good person, God will not take you away so easily, so I have been waiting, thank Yunxin for his spirit in the sky, and keep your good brother." ”
When Lu Xiao heard the sentence "those short-lived wicked people in the Lu Mansion", his expression was obviously a little uncomfortable, and Xu Wei also introduced Lu Xiao embarrassedly, Liu knew Lu Xiao's identity, and after knowing that Xu Wei and the Lu family had turned into a jade silk, he hurriedly slapped his mouth embarrassedly.
"Madame don't have to care." Lu Xiao is also a woman, and her observation is more detailed, she looked at Liu's messy head and the scars deliberately covered by drooping hair and fat powder, and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with your face?" ”
Liu looked at the two of them and smiled hard, laughing desperately and smiling like ashes. It turned out that Wang Liu and Wang Li were so happy after learning the false news that Xu Wei was hacked to death by the Lu family, as if they were removing the old and welcoming the new year, and they feasted the guests in the mansion on the same day, so angry that Liu scolded Wang Liu for having no conscience at the banquet, and Wang Liu, who was discouraged, slapped Liu several times in front of all the guests, which was the first time that Liu was desperate.
Because Xu Wei won the Dongnu victory, his gambling contract with the Lu family took effect on the spot, Wang Liu was almost no longer entangled in debts and Tianyuan money, and began to mix all kinds of goulan gambling houses, and was not at home all day, and provoked Wang Liu's wife to find the house.
The lady of the main house saw that she couldn't find Wang Liu, and saw that Liu's was quite charming, and she didn't fight in one place, so that the maids around her punched and kicked Liu's, and the big movement also provoked the neighbors to stop and watch, and all the people in the palace except for the former Deng Yunxin's housekeeper's mother-in-law and Liu's personal maid, almost all of them watched the play on the sidelines, this was Liu's second despair.
This morning, Wang Liu suddenly came back and said that a distinguished guest wanted to go to the Wanjin Treasury to see how Xu Wei's two knives were in condition, and he pushed open the door of Liu's room and took the two knives before leaving.
Liu refused, saying that she had not found Xu Wei's body, and she was not sure that Xu Wei was dead, and even if Xu Wei was dead, these knives were Xu Wei's relics, how could she say that they would be sold?
So the disheveled Liu grabbed two knives and didn't let Wang Liu take them, she was taller than Wang Liu, and her strength was not inferior to Wang Liu.
Wang Liu didn't grab it for a while, so he was so angry that he kicked Liu's abdomen, grabbed the double knife and left. Liu desperately chased him out, but Wang Liu didn't spare any mercy, and punched and kicked Liu several times in front of a group of family members.
Wang Liu's distant cousin Wang Li is a scoundrel, he has coveted Liu's for a long time, and there are foul language on weekdays, this time he pretended to persuade Liu to help Liu's hands and feet, and Wang Liu, who looked at it, seemed to be indifferent, this is Liu's third despair.
Although after receiving the false news that Xu Wei had died, Wang Liu was much more generous to the Liu family in terms of food and clothing, and he also gave Liu all kinds of gentleness and kind words to comfort him. But Liu's heart has long been like ashes, and a few days ago he had placed the child Deng Shan back to his mother's house, if it wasn't for the iron determination to wait for accurate news about Xu Wei's life and death, she would have left overnight.
Fortunately, Xu Wei really came back, and for failing to keep Xu Wei's two knives, Liu Shi was also extremely self-blaming, "Although Xu Gongzi's two knives have been replaced with worn-out scabbards, Wang Liuben is doing the work of treasure and antiquities, and he can see at a glance that your knife is a treasure. ”
"It doesn't matter, sister-in-law, I don't know how much my sword is worth, but I only know that these two knives are the spoils of my last battle with my brothers, and I will never let them fall into the hands of others who do not know their preciousness." Xu Wei reassured the Liu family and said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law only needs to tell me the location of the 'Ten Thousand Gold Treasury', and I will naturally go and get back what belongs to me." ”
Lu Xiao also comforted on the side: "Madame, don't worry, Wang Liu knows that Xu Wei's two knives are precious, and he will definitely sell them at a price, and he will never sell them easily, he just took them to the pledge warehouse this morning, indicating that this is the first guest he intends to trade, Wang Liu should wait for a while to see if there will be a better price, we will definitely be in time to go now." ”
"Now that I have come back alive, my sister-in-law can leave this place as soon as possible, use the remaining gold nuggets of Brother Yunxin to find a place to live again, and reunite with Deng Shan as soon as possible." Xu Wei should have rushed to the Wanjin Treasury sooner, but he was afraid that Liu would hesitate again, so he persuaded him again.
"Don't worry Xu Gongzi, I have made up my mind, everything and baggage have been packed, and I will take my mother-in-law and them with me in a while." After listening to Xu Wei's words, Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"By the way, if the lady doesn't dislike it, you can also go to Chengtouzhuang to live temporarily and then make plans." Lu Xiao said and took off a beautiful colored knot around his waist and gave it to the Liu family, "Take this to Uncle Lei, who went to the Chengtou Zhuang Lu Mansion to find the steward, he will arrange for you to live in the idle field house nearby, there are all the convenient things in the village, and it is a good place to stay." ”
Liu didn't shirk it, after all, it was not easy for a woman with a few old and weak people and a child to find a good place, and she might even be bullied, so she took over the beautiful color knot after thanking Lu Xiao.
Xu Wei looked at Lu Xiao beside him so concerned about the things around him, and a burst of warmth also surged in his heart, but without further ado, the two of them still needed to hurry to the Wanjin Warehouse.
In order to prevent his carriage from being bumped into by Yuwen Chenglong and the people of the Lu family, Lu Xiao specially asked for an old carriage left over from the Wangliu Mansion, and temporarily placed the carriage with the Lu family's logo in the Wangliu Mansion.
After all the horses and luggage were ordered, Wu Banjin continued to drive the carriage, and the four of them turned the head of the carriage and drove towards the "Ten Thousand Gold Warehouse" in Stone Town.
