Chapter 233: Blindfolds and the Chungling Uprising
Hundreds of people rode up, dressed and armed with different clothes, and scattered formations, obviously the disciples of those wealthy families.
Seeing that the pursuers were only a hundred steps away, Liu Xiu calmly let Deng Yu and Zhu You get off the ox cart, and under the surprised eyes of the two best friends, he took out the fire fold, lit the straw piled on the ox cart, and lit the ox tail.
I saw that the ox went crazy in an instant, with a fire ox cart, running wildly with four hooves, and rushed to hundreds of pursuers.
The two sides are moving in the opposite direction, faster.
Those wealthy guests who were staring at Liu Xiu's head didn't have time to react at all.
"Moo!" Under the collision of the mad bull, people turned on their backs in an instant, and many pursuers were directly trampled to death and injured.
"Kill!" Liu Xiu pulled out his sword and rushed forward like an arrow, his figure did not look like a scholar at all, nor did he look like the chief of Taixue in everyone's eyes, and he didn't look like a praised Mengxue master.
He is extremely fast, stepping on the footwork of the maze, dancing with the blade of the sword, and taking advantage of the chaos to harvest people's heads.
Deng Yu and Zhu You didn't care about the surprise, and they also followed the killing, one with a sword and the other with a gun, and their martial arts were all good.
The three of them fought in battle, and hundreds of people were killed, and only half fled into the jungle, leaving behind corpses.
"Happy, happy!" Zhu You laughed bloodily.
Liu Xiu and Deng Yu looked at each other and smiled, both very happy.
"Can you make a note of which wealthy families they are?" Liu Xiu asked Deng Yu.
"Got it." Deng Yu nodded.
"In this case, you quickly return to Wanxian County, give the roster of these wealthy families to Li Tong, and ask him to wait for the opportunity." Liu Xiudao.
Deng Yu didn't say a word, and after holding his fists, he found a fast horse and made a detour back to Wanxian from other roads.
And Liu Xiu and Zhu You also chose two good horses and continued to Caiyang.
Hurry up and whip up, and sure enough, it is much faster than the ox cart.
After another half a day, the two of them were already in Caiyang County, and they crossed Baishui in front of them and arrived home.
However, when he arrived at Baishui, there were suddenly pursuers behind him, and there was a lot of movement.
"Uncle Wen, it's a soldier of Nanyang County!" Zhu You's eyes were sharp, and he saw hundreds of cavalry chasing after him from a distance, and they were faster than them.
"Cross the river first." Liu Xiu's face remained unchanged, and he rode his horse forward, directly flowing across the river.
Zhu You hurriedly stepped forward to escort him, but he was still anxious in his heart, the Baishui River was not wide, and the water potential was not large, so he obviously couldn't stop the pursuers behind him.
And the soldiers of Nanyang County are much more powerful than the wealthy family guests they met before, and there are hundreds of them, and the two of them are not opponents at all.
After crossing the white water, the two climbed the Lion Rock on the south bank.
At this time, the soldiers of Nanyang County also chased to the Baishui River and went into the water in a swarm.
But Liu Xiu stopped on the Lion Rock and had no intention of continuing to flee for his life.
Zhu You was about to urge, and then his eyes widened.
I saw Liu Xiu swing the sword with his hand and throw it into the river.
Wow!
As soon as the sword entered the water, the river boiled and steamed.
Many cavalry of Nanyang County were immediately screamed and hurriedly retreated to the north bank.
"Xiu...... Uncle Wen, what kind of skill do you have? Zhu You asked with a glare.
"It's just a trick." Liu Xiu's expression was indifferent, and he didn't explain too much, but he was thinking about what Master Sun had said.
Master Sun said that he can always turn evil into good fortune when he encounters trouble, because he has the destiny of heaven, the twenty-eight stars in the sky protect the Dharma for him, and the gods of the land, mountains, and water will also listen to his orders.
He thought it was a joke, and he didn't believe it until Master Sun pocketed a mountain in front of him.
Since then, his horizons have broadened.
Then, under the gaze of those Nanyang soldiers, the two crossed the Lion Rock and walked away.
They expected that even if the river was cold, the pursuers would not continue to pursue.
Because the front is Chungling Township, which is the foundation of the Liu clan in Chungling.
If the soldiers of Nanyang County really dared to attack, they were not afraid at all.
When it was dusk, the two of them arrived in Chungling Township, and one of them came up with dozens of guests and entourage, and the man said loudly from afar: "Uncle Wen, why don't you say anything when you come back, I'll pick you up." ”
Liu Xiu had more smiles on his face, and the person who came was his eldest brother Liu Yan.
Soon, all the Liu clansmen in Chungling Township knew that Liu Xiu had returned.
The Liu family of Chungling is passed down from the lineage of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, and although it is now in decline, it is still a local wealthy family.
These Liu clan relatives also heard about Liu Xiu's writing and lecturing in Chang'an, and knew that Liu Xiu was now known as a Mengxue master.
Liu Liang, the elder of the clan, is the uncle of Liu Xiu's three brothers, who raised their brothers to grow up, and gathered his clan relatives that night to set up a banquet for Liu Xiu to celebrate.
During the banquet, everyone praised Liu Xiucai for his outstanding learning, and he will definitely be able to become a Confucian master like Liu Xiu, the national teacher, in the future, and leave a name in history.
Zhu You sat on the side, and he wanted to say that Liu Xiu was better than they imagined.
But seeing that Liu Xiu didn't mention the idea, he couldn't reveal it casually.
Soon, however, someone revealed all this for him.
When the banquet of the Liu family in Chungling was lively, Wu County Commander of Caiyang County broke in with a team of officials and guards.
The clan elder Liu Liang once served as the county commander of Xiao County, and the clan relatives were all there, so he was not afraid of the other party at all, and asked: "Wu County Order, what are you going to do?" ”
Wu Xian Ling sneered: "I am ordered to arrest Liu Xiu!" ”
Ordered?
The faces of the Liu clan in Chungling changed, and they all looked at Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu clenched his fists, and there was a burst of grief in his heart, although when he saw the chasing soldiers before, he guessed that the edict had happened, and Liu Xiu, the national teacher, was probably no longer alive.
At this time, the patriarch Liu Liang said in a deep voice: "There is no Liu Xiu here, retreat quickly!" ”
Wu Xian Ling snorted coldly, took out a sea fishing document, and said: "Nanyang Liu Xiu, colluded with the national teacher Liu Xiu and other twelve people to plot a rebellion in Chang'an,
The national teacher and other rebellious parties have been ambushed, only Nanyang Liu Xiu is on the run, His Majesty ordered to arrest and kill Nanyang Liu Xiu to seal the Marquis of Wanhu!
If you hide the rebels, you will be regarded as complicity in rebellion! ”
Hearing this, the Liu clan was shocked, and they couldn't believe what they had heard, and some people began to hesitate and worry again.
Liu Yan laughed and said, "Haha, Uncle Wen, you did a great thing!" ”
Liu Xiu smiled slightly, and first said to those guards: "You are all from poor backgrounds, think about the days that have become more and more difficult over the years, think about the land and property that have been taken away by those monks, and then ask yourself, are you willing?"
Or, do you want my Liu Xiu's head to seal the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households? ”
Those guards looked at each other, there are three Buddhist temples in Caiyang County, and they are also the largest landlords in Caiyang, almost all of them are tenants of these three Buddhist temples, and they have long been fed up with oppression.
Seeing this, Wu Xianling knew that something was wrong, and shouted: "Liu Xiu, you don't want to confuse the public with evil words!" ”
Liu Xiu shook his head lightly and said to Liu Yan: "Big brother, kill this dog official." ”
Liu Yan laughed loudly, he has always wanted to do great things, and today he finally got what he wanted, and immediately took many guests and entourage to cut down Wu County's order to the ground, and some officials who wanted to resist were also killed.
None of the poor-born pawns resisted.
The Liu clan relatives present all understood that Liu Xiu had really rebelled!
In the end, Liu Xiu stepped forward, pulled out his long sword, and said loudly to many Liu clan relatives in Chungling: "Wang Mang is tyrannical, the people are not happy, and thousands of Buddhist temples have been built, and they are greedy for people's fat and people's ointment, and they are all evil ghosts!"
When I was in Chang'an, the prince of the Han Dynasty wrote an edict with blood as ink, saying that the reckless thief was not subject to Zen, but usurped the throne, and called on the world to punish the thief!
Liu Xiu, the national teacher, and the people with lofty ideals attacked the thief and unfortunately died.
I am willing to inherit his will, recruit the world's heroes, kill the reckless thieves, restore the cause of the ancestors, and set the autumn of eternity! ”
It's not a historical text, so this plot of Liu Xiu's Fuhan will not be written in too much detail, and the later war scenes will be briefly touched over and directly connected to the mythical forces
