At nightfall, Xie Xuan took a letter and hurried through the house and courtyard, heading straight to Luo Tianjin's study.

In the study, Luo Tianjin was talking and laughing with Xun Qin and Yeluqin.

As soon as he saw Xie Xuan, Luo Tianjin smiled with a smile on his face: "Brother Xie, I have good news for you." Prince Ning has just received the secret letter from the King of Shaoqin, and has now completed the preparation of soldiers, horses, ordnance, grain, grass and baggage, and has a full army of 80,000 troops stationed in the Tianshan Mountains. At the beginning of spring next year, they will go to Yumen Pass one after another to stand by. Once the Song and Mongolia are engaged, the army can advance eastward at any time!"

"The soldier is very fast, so good!" Xie Xuan showed joy on his face, and bowed his hand to Yeluqin and Xun Qin, "The young king of Qin is trustworthy, Xie admires!"

"King Shaoqin has worked hard and done his best for the major affairs of our two families. Yeluqin said with words, "It's just the lord of Luofu...... At the moment, there are still some minor troubles. ”

Of course, Luo Tianjin knew that Ye Luqin's words were aimed at the Song Court's recruitment of An, so he looked full of expression and said righteously: "Lord Ning, rest assured, within seven days, Luo will drive Zhao Yuan out of Luoyang City." When the eighth group of heroes gathers in the first month of the lunar month, I will wait for the opportunity to talk secretly with the major leaders one by one, and ask them to help us. ”

Yeluqin stared at Luo Tianjin with a smile, was silent for a moment, and then got up and responded: "In this case, let's go back and wait for the good news of the Luo Mansion Lord!"

"Please, two of you!"

After greetings, Luo Tianjin personally sent Yeluqin and Xun Qin outside the door and watched them leave the inner courtyard.

"To this day, they still don't believe me. Luo Tianjin turned around and went back to the room, laughing at himself, "Almost every time we meet, I have to knock on the side, and I really think of me as their puppet." ”

"In this transaction, King Shaoqin has made a lot of money. The army of 80,000 is very likely to be the coffin book at the bottom of his box. Xie Xuan guessed, "If there is a slight mistake, these two people can't eat and walk around, how dare they not care?" Now, Yeluqin and Xunqin have a heavy responsibility, and they are more afraid of things changing than anyone else. ”

"Yes! Zhao Yuan didn't leave for a day, and they couldn't sleep well for a day. Luo Tianjin smiled, "That's fine, let them taste the taste of gains and losses, the provincial general pretends to be profound in front of me." ”

After that, Luo Tianjin and Xie Xuan looked at each other and smiled, and then sat down by the window.

"What's in your hand?"

In fact, as soon as Xie Xuan entered the door, Luo Tianjin saw the letter in his hand, but because Xun Qin and Yeluqin were present, he kept silent.

"It's a letter sent by Shen Dongshan. ”

Xie Xuan said as he handed the letter to Luo Tianjin, and then picked up the candlestick on the table and carefully illuminated it for Luo Tianjin.

After a closer look, the corners of Luo Tianjin's mouth couldn't help but raise an inexplicable smile.

Seeing this, Xie Xuan couldn't help but show curiosity and asked, "Mansion Master, what did Shen Dongshan say in the letter?"

"He's gone. Luo Tianjin said, "I resigned to Zhao Yuan last night, and lied that there were twists and turns in the business in the south, so I hurriedly led people out of Luoyang City early this morning. ”

"Gone?" Xie Xuan said in surprise, "Why haven't you heard any news at all?"

"Shen Dongshan has always been nowhere and gone. Luo Tianjin smiled disappreciatively, "At the martial arts conference in September, he also suddenly disappeared from Huashan. ”

"There are two things I don't understand. First, why did Zhao Yuan let him leave so easily? Second, Shen Dongshan obviously left in the morning, so why did someone send his resignation letter in the evening?"

Luo Tianjin pretended to be mysterious and said: "In the end, why did he leave?"

"Yes!" Xie Xuan was confused, "Shen Dongshan has always been careful and cautious, and now if he leaves, he will definitely cause Zhao Yuan's dissatisfaction." ”

Because the day before yesterday, he accidentally made a big mistake, and he knew that he couldn't contain the fire in the paper, and sooner or later someone would settle accounts with him, so he slipped away early. Luo Tianjin explained, "He revealed to me the news of the secret meeting between Zhao Yuan and Ling Xiaoxiao in Xiangyun Silk Village, so he calculated that there would be an unhappy break up between me and Zhao Yuan, and there might even be a conflict." These businessmen have always pursued advantages and avoided disadvantages, and they are timid and afraid of things, so how dare they stay here and set themselves on fire? I think he must have repeatedly weighed the pros and cons before making this decision. ”

"Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan. Xie Xuan smiled contemptuously, "Shen Dongshan doesn't have the ability to do anything else, but a trick of 'shield technique' is like fire and innocence." ”

"This is natural, this person wanders between the government and the rivers and lakes all day long, like black and white, like good and evil, and has long been familiar with the truth of 'the strong have their own strong hands, and a mountain is higher than a mountain'. Luo Tianjin said with emotion, "Therefore, he never argues with people head-on, but first flees from the place of right and wrong, and then hides in a safe place to stumble and play tricks." Now that I think about it, it's very smart. Unlike us people in the rivers and lakes, sesame big things have to fight to the death, so I don't know how many heroes and heroes die in trivial things, it's really not worth it. ”

"Merchants have the way of survival of businessmen, and people in the rivers and lakes have the rules of life of the people in the rivers and lakes. Xie Xuan said, "If we are as submissive as him, don't say that we have a foothold in the rivers and lakes, but I am afraid that we will not be able to mix for a day." ”

"Yes!" Luo Tianjin said undeniably, "The ruler is short and the inch is long, Shen Dongshan is good at resigning, why didn't Zhao Yuan stop it?" Because he understands the truth that things must be opposed, and he knows that Shen Dongshan has already made up his mind, even if he forcibly stops it, he is afraid that it will be useless. Therefore, it is better to be a favor and let Shen Dongshan owe him once. What's more, Shen Dongshan's role is to mediate and promote Zhao'an. Now, Zhao Yuan has no intention of recruiting me at all, only the intention of killing, so leaving Shen Dongshan is not only useless, but will become a burden. After all, Zhao Yuan didn't want the leak of Xiangyun Silk Village to happen again. ”

"What the lord of the house said is very true. Then he deliberately sent someone late to deliver the resignation letter, and it was ......"

"I'm afraid I'll ask him for money. When a merchant does business, he always does not see a rabbit or a hawk. How can he be willing to bleed before he tastes the sweetness?" Luo Tianjin snorted and laughed, "It's okay! I have already greeted Yeluqin about the Silk Road, and I see that his attitude is not against it, and I expect that there will be a reply soon." As long as the King of Shaoqin agrees to reopen the Silk Road, why worry that Shen Dongshan will not come back and beg me? When the time comes, you will beat him and scold him, and he will not be willing to leave. ”

"Haha......"

Hearing Luo Tianjin's speculation on Shen Dongshan's thoughts, Xie Xuan couldn't help but admire, so he laughed out loud.

"Brother Xie, what I asked you to prepare......"

"Mansion Master, we are not as good as before. Xie Xuan said bitterly, "In the past, we were alone, and we were all the belongings alone. But now it's different, the Xianwang Mansion has a big business, and the owner of the mansion wants a complete and detailed account, and it takes at least a month to sort it out slowly. ”

"Well, there's no urgency. A touch of softness flashed in Luo Tianjin's eyes, and he smiled lightly, "I want these things so that Xun Yi can understand the family background of King Xian's Mansion." If today's turmoil is unpredictable, dangerous and unpredictable, in case I die violently one day, the most reassuring thing is to find clothes, if he doesn't know much about the family background of the Xianwang Mansion, it is very likely that people with ulterior motives will take advantage of it. Just like Tang Afu back then, because he was young and ignorant, he was deceived by Shen Dongshan's rhetoric and left nothing......"

"What did the mansion master say?" Xie Xuan said unhappily, "The mansion lord was prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was very lucky, what did he say about his life? Moreover, Tang Afu was only five or six years old back then, and he didn't have anything to do, don't lie to him, even if he robbed him, he was powerless to resist, and he could only consider himself unlucky. But looking for clothes is different, he is the fifth master on the dragon elephant list, and there are only a handful of people in the rivers and lakes who dare to fight his idea. He is already Amitabha Buddha if he doesn't rob others, who dares to rob him?"

Hearing this, a heartfelt sense of pride arose, which made Luo Tianjin, who was already tired, look bright.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Liu Xunyi, Luo Tianjin not only saw his shadow back then, but also saw the hope of the future. Yunwen Yunwu, courageous and knowledgeable, upright but not pedantic, kind but not cowardly, righteous but not reckless.

All this, in the former Luo Hongxuan, Luo Tianjin has never experienced it so profoundly.

In the past, Liu Xunyi was just his disciple, and Luo Tianjin was already very appreciative of it, and he was promoted everywhere. Now, knowing that Liu Xunyi is his own flesh and blood, he is becoming more and more affectionate and loves him more and more.

To this day, Luo Tianjin has regarded Liu Xunyi as the greatest gift from God, which is still three points deeper than the joy of meeting Xiao Zhirou in Xiangxi back then.

"As long as I am there for a day, the king of heaven will not want to fight his idea. Luo Tianjin said, "Brother Xie, after the eighth day of the lunar month, until the start of the army, the affairs of the mansion will be handed over to you to deal with." I want to spare my energy to accompany Rou'er, and at the same time teach Xunyi myself to make up for my debt to their mother and son. ”

"This ......"

"Bang, bang!"

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Luo Tianjin's and Xie Xuan's thoughts.

"Who?"

"The lord of the Qiqi Mansion, Mrs. saw Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi at noon, and then went to the East Hall to see the black fan. A deep voice came from outside the door, it was the disciple who was in charge of monitoring Ling Xiaoxiao.

"Looking for clothes?" Luo Tianjin perked up and said busily, "What did they say?"

"I don't know. The voice outside the door sounded again, "But half an hour ago, Hei Zhifan, Zheng Songren, and Zhang Songyi left the house quickly, and they had already left the city overnight. ”

"What?"

Just this one sentence made Luo Tianjin shocked. He suddenly got up, rushed to the door with an arrow, quickly opened the door, and asked, "Why did you report such a big event now?"

"The lord of the mansion is angry, we don't know where they are, so we don't dare to guess. The disciple said in fear, "I thought they would come back soon, but I didn't expect ......."

"No more nonsense! Where did they go?"

"Xuzhou direction. Seeing that their bags are light, they should not travel far. ”

"Send someone to follow, and come back to report me at any time if there is any movement!"

"Yes!"

After the disciple left, Luo Tianjin looked at Xie Xuan, who was frowning, and said in a deep voice: "In the middle of the night, what are they going to Xuzhou for......? didn't even say hello, and left so suddenly. ”

"It's broken!"

In the middle of a hundred thoughts, Xie Xuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, his eyes changed, and he hurriedly said: "The direction of Xuzhou, isn't it the direction from which Patriarch Teng and Lord Xiao Gu came?"

Luo Tianjin was stunned and said: "Xuzhou is in the southeast, but the Teng people are in the southwest......"

"But Jiangzhou is in the southeast!" Xie Xuan explained, "If the Teng Patriarch first goes to the Valley of Despair to make peace with the Lord of Xiao Valley, and then comes to Luoyang City together, then ......."

"Then Xuzhou is the place they must pass through!" Luo Tianjin suddenly realized, his face instantly became extremely ugly, "Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi are Wudang disciples, and they must have been ordered by Ling Xiaoxiao to go to Xuzhou." Imagine that Ling Xiaoxiao hates Rou'er to the core, so ......"

As for this, Luo Tianjin's heart couldn't help but have a terrible thought, and murmured: "Right now, Rou'er and Ping'er are in Xuzhou, Zheng Songren and they want to ...... To ......"

"Looking for clothes is so abrupt, he doesn't even say hello, he is obviously being used by Ling Xiaoxiao. Xie Xuan answered, "It is also possible that Ling Xiaoxiao secretly communicated with Zhao Yuan, forcing Xunyi to go to Xuzhou to assassinate the ...... of Xiao Gu."

"Snake and scorpion poisonous woman, I should have killed her earlier!" Luo Tianjin gritted his teeth with hatred, "With Patriarch Teng and Rou'er in charge, how can the three of them succeed with only Liu Xunyi? If the matter is revealed, won't they be a dead end? No, no, no, Brother Xie, you ...... this matter."

"The mansion master doesn't have to worry, I'll leave immediately and go to Xuzhou in person!"

"Okay!" Luo Tianjin thought that Liu Xunyi was worried about his life, and couldn't help but be in a mess, and spoke incoherently, "Tens of millions, tens of millions, tens of millions of protect Xunyi......!

"The lord of the house can rest assured ......"

"And!" Luo Tianjin's mind was in chaos, and he said whatever he remembered, "If they don't expose ......"

"I understand! I only protect them in secret, and if they are in danger, I will not show up, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

"Very good!"

"Don't worry, the lord of the mansion can rest assured, Xie Mou will guarantee that he will never let Xun Yi have any mistakes!"

"Brother Xie, I'm asking you, I'll pick you up when I come back!"

Looking at Luo Tianjin, who was full of apprehension, Xie Xuan's heart was full of emotion, a hero in his life, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, but he didn't expect to have a weakness today.

After thinking about it, Xie Xuan nodded vaguely, turned to step out of the door, and disappeared into the vast night in the blink of an eye.
