When Xuan Wu heard Twelve say that he knew his younger brother, he was very curious, so he stopped, looked at Twelve, and asked, "Do you know my brother?" Do you know what my brother's name is? ”

Another family member said: "Leave him alone, he is talking nonsense, lying to you and letting them out." ”

Twelve Dao: "I know, your brother's name is Xuanliu." ”

Another family Ding smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, his name is Xuan Wu, his younger brother is called Xuan Liu, I still say that he is called Xuan Qi Xuan Ba?" ”

Xuan Wu said to the famous family: "My brother is really called Xuan Liu, you go to cook first, I asked him if he really knows my brother." ”

After the family left, Xuan Wu put down the firewood, closed the door of the firewood room, walked to Twelve's side, and asked, "If you really know Xuan Liu, tell me what he looks like." ”

Twelve Dao: "I remember that he held a Xuantie kitchen knife, roamed the rivers and lakes, and acted chivalrous and righteous......"

Xuan Wu interrupted him and said, "Xuantie kitchen knife, that's right, it's him." I've been looking for him for three years and haven't found him, where did you meet him? ”

Twelve: "In my hometown of Shizhu City." ”

Xuan Wudao: "Shizhu City? I didn't expect him to go so far away. ”

From Xuan Wu's expression, Twelve saw hope, and he knew that Xuan Liu was his younger brother. continued: "We all appreciate him for using a kitchen knife to break through the rivers and lakes, eradicate the scum on the rivers and lakes, and sweep away the affairs of Kunwu Mountain, he is the hero of the cat clan, and he is a well-deserved kitchen knife man." ”

Xuan Wu Dao: "Did he still say that his brother was the Xuanwu of the four divine beasts Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu?" ”

Twelve: "Yes, that's what he said." ”

Xuan Wu sighed and said, "I didn't expect that he would never be able to change his problem of bragging. I'm not the Xuanwu of the four divine beasts, I'm the fifth in my family. He's not a kitchen knife man either, he's just a charlatan who eats and drinks around with a blackiron kitchen knife. The Xuantie kitchen knife was not his, it was given to me by the emperor today because of a dish that suited the emperor's appetite when I was cooking in the Shangshi Bureau in the palace. Later, it was stolen by Xuanliu, and I don't know where I ran to now. ”

Twelve thought to himself: "It turns out that the kitchen knife man is a liar. He asked Xuan Wu again: "Then you blame him for stealing your kitchen knife?" ”

Xuan Wu said: "I don't care if he took the kitchen knife that the emperor rewarded me, it's just that I only have such a younger brother, if he dies outside...... Then how can I explain to my grandfather and aunt in heaven. He didn't learn since he was a child, I later became a cook, and was selected to be the head of the palace food bureau, I asked the relationship to find a way to bring him to the food bureau to do chores, but he was in trouble all day long, and he ate secretly in the food bureau every day. Later, when he was caught, Shang Shi directly kicked me and him out of the palace...... He thinks about the rivers and lakes all day long, and says outside that his brother is the Xuanwu among the four divine beasts, and he has a martial arts or something, so he just cheats and cheats. ”

Twelve had an idea, thinking that he could only tell him that he could go and find Xuan Liu, and this Xuan Wu would let them go, and said, "I see, I can help Xuan Wu find your younger brother." ”

Xuan Wu looked at Twelve and hesitated, "Can you really help me find him?" ”

Twelve Dao: "I can really find him, but can the fifth brother of Xuan let us go?" ”

Xuan Wu looked at the two of them and said, "Why did you offend the donkey?" ”

Twelve Dao: "We didn't offend the horse, but the horse sent someone to assassinate the emperor and missed, so I want to ...... He wants to kill us. ”

Xuan Wu said: "Who are you?" How could a colt assassinate the emperor. ”

Twelve: "To be honest, I'm just a candidate who came to the capital to take the exam, and she is...... She is the daughter of the emperor, Princess Sanya. You see her legs are bleeding and hurt, and they have to be bandaged. ”

Xuan Wu said to Sanya: "It turns out that you are Princess Sanya, but I didn't expect the horse to kill Princess Changxiang's own sister." Then, I saw Xuan Wu's thoughtful look. Then he said: "I let you go secretly, but I can't do anything about how you get out of the Horse Mansion. So, he helped Twelve untie the rope first. Just as he was about to help Sanya untie the rope, suddenly, a famous man pushed open the door of the firewood house, and Twelve hurriedly pretended to be still tied up and lay down next to the haystack of the firewood house. The famous man shouted at Xuan Wu: "Xuan Wu, hurry up and cook, the city lord from Pinghe City said that he wants to eat 'smoked chicken', we are the only ones here who can do it, hurry up and do it, will it take so long to hold firewood?" With that, he left.

Xuan Wu could only quickly pick up the firewood he had just packed up and go out, and before leaving, he said to Twelve: "Find a way to leave by yourself." And closed the door of the firewood room.

When Twelve heard that the lord of Pinghe City was coming, he thought of Gu Jicong and Ah Jirong, the two assassins who wanted to assassinate the emperor, and thought, "It turns out that the city lord of Pinghe City is with the horses. "Don't think about it, I'm about to help Sanya untie the rope in her hand. When he heard that a family member was coming in outside, Twelve quickly hid behind the door. When the man entered, Twelve saw that it was one of the three soldiers who had captured him. When the soldier saw that only Sangya was lying there, he looked at the haystack and the pyre, and said, "What about the other one, where is it hidden?" Sanya did not speak, and the soldier continued, "They are all tied hand and foot, where can they run?" Princess Sanya, you said you didn't stay in the palace well, why did you go to the school grounds? ”

Sang Ya said, "Why do you want to assassinate my father? ”

The soldier said: "It's not that we want to kill, but the master wants to kill the emperor." Just now, the master said that he would kill you directly, and I can't help it, who let you see that we shot the arrow. ”

After speaking, he pulled out the knife he was wearing, and prepared to slash at Sanya's neck, Sanya was eclipsed at this time.

Twelve was anxious behind the door, and did not know how to save Sanya, and at that moment he saw an axe for chopping wood behind the door, and Twelve took the axe and slashed it at the soldier's head, and with one axe he cut the soldier to the ground, and remained motionless. Seeing that the soldier was dead, Twelve hurriedly stepped forward to untie Sanya, and tore off a piece of cloth from the soldier's body to cover the wound on Sanya's leg.

Sonya was terrified at this time, and hurriedly said: "Hide the body first, this is the second of their three brothers to spare their lives, quickly cover him with grass." ”

Twelve hurriedly covered his life-sparing body with the grass on the haystack, and carried Sanya out of the firewood door with his back, but he didn't know which way to go. Twelve saw that the back kitchen was next door to the firewood room, and Twelve thought, "Now I can only go and ask Xuanwu for help." He carried Sanya to the back kitchen, but fortunately, only Xuan Wu was alone in the back kitchen at this time.

Xuan Wu was about to kill a chicken, when he suddenly saw Twelve coming in with Sanya on his back, and he was so frightened that even the chicken ran away from his hand. Xuan Wu lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you let you find a way to leave by yourself, how did you get here?" ”

Twelve said: "Fifth Brother Xuan, I also want to ask the eldest brother to help us escape from the Horse Mansion." ”

Xuan Wu said: "I can't help you, if I am seen by the three brothers who have lives, spare my lives, and take my lives, I will be killed by them, you can find a way to leave by yourself." ”

Twelve did not tell Xuan Wu that his life had been chopped to death by him, for fear that Xuan Wu would be implicated in this matter. Twelve Dao: "If you save Princess Sangya, the emperor will definitely reward you heavily." ”

Xuan Wu originally cooked for the emperor in the Shang Food Bureau in the palace, but because of his younger brother Xuan Liu, he was implicated and was kicked out of the palace. Since he was kicked out, he wanted to return to Shangshi Bureau every moment, but there was no way out. Xuan Wu thought to himself: "If I take the risk to save the princess now, maybe the emperor will really let me go back to the Shangshi Bureau." ”

At this time, a housekeeper walked towards the back kitchen, and Twelve hurriedly hid in a corner with Sangya in his arms. The housekeeper didn't go into the back kitchen, he shouted outside: "Master Ma let the food be served, is the dish ready?" ”

Xuan Wu responded: "A few dishes have been prepared, you can arrange for two servants to serve them." ”

Seeing that the family had left, Xuan Wu said to Twelve: "You quickly hide the princess in the second empty barrel over there, and you stand here and don't speak." ”

After a while, two servants walked in, and saw six plates of prepared dishes on the table, and one of them said, "How can the two of us serve so many dishes?" Seeing Twelve standing there, he said to Twelve, "Can you help us bring the food to the front hall?" Before Twelve could speak, the servant took two plates of food and left, and the other servant also took two plates of food and prepared to leave, and said to Twelve, "You serve those two plates." ”

Twelve looked at Xuan Wu, and Xuan Wu said: "Then you will follow them to serve food to the master of the horse first." ”

Twelve was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he went out with two dishes and the two servants. Walking through the backyard to the front hall, I saw a dozen men sitting around a round table, waiting for the food to be served. The two servants went in first to put the dishes on the table, and Twelve hesitated a little for fear of encountering the two of them, and he looked around the room to see that there were no two of them. When he was about to walk to the table, a man in a gorgeous crown dress said: "Although the assassination of Xuanyu in the examination room failed again this time, it is enough to let him know that we are powerful." ”
