Now that I think about it, it seems that there are not many people in the Yuan Imperial Pavilion who know that his father is a prefecture-level imperial envoy.

No, it's not even much, it's Liu Yuan himself who doesn't know who in the cabinet knows who his father is.

After all, his father didn't allow him to reveal this matter at all, but someone must know about it, at least those people above should know.

But it is estimated that it will not be too much, at first Liu Yuan did not know why his father wanted to hide the existence of his son, but now he gradually understands it.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if he existed in the Yuan Imperial Pavilion as the son of a prefecture-level imperial envoy, not to mention walking sideways, he would have to be a second ancestor.

After his father's death, he became more and more uncomfortable in the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, and was finally dismissed.

Now that I think about some of his father's original arrangements, they are all very meaningful.

But it is estimated that there should still be father's brothers and friends in the cabinet, but unfortunately Liu Yuan didn't know any of them, and when his father left, there was no extra explanation except for this inn.

I don't know where to start, so I still have to go to the northwest.

"You're to the point. Xu Ming took a sip of tea, looked at Liu Yuan and said.

Based on Liu Yuan's current situation, if he wants to go back to the Yuan Imperial Pavilion to ask something, he can't say that his life will be guaranteed.

If he goes to the Great Northwest to find the Bodhisattva, as long as he doesn't make some radical moves, the Bodhisattva will definitely not be hostile to him.

"yes. Liu Yuan sighed.

In the next pillar of incense, Xu Ming told Liu Yuan about his father and the situation in the northwest.

The entire northwest region is Shanglin Road, and then accompanied by a county in Longyou Road, the border is next to the Holy Heaven Road where the imperial city is located.

There are many deep mountains and old forests in the northwest and the winter is very cold, and even heavy snow will cover the mountains, and there are many fierce beasts of all kinds, which are not accessible to ordinary people.

Now that spring has begun, in terms of weather, it is a good time to go into the northwest to find the Bodhisattva.

However, after the cold winter passed, some snakes, insects, poisonous ants, and all kinds of bells and whistles of crustaceans became active again.

It is not easy for ordinary people to get in and out alive, even experienced hunters are also cautious.

In short, the topography of the Great Northwest is too complicated, and Xu Ming warned Liu Yuan that it was best to find someone familiar with the road to lead him.

At first, the Bodhisattva was already in the mountains, but now he has been bloodied by the imperial court, so he naturally hides farther, and it is more and more difficult to find.

However, Xu Ming pointed out a shortcut to Liu Yuan, revealing that those outer disciples were still active in several county towns or counties, and if they could find these people, they should be able to find out something.

For the son of this old man, Xu Ming can be said to have racked his brains to find a way, and did his best to take care of it.

Xu Ming's bitter words, Liu Yuan remembered them all, listened carefully, and didn't miss a word.

The two talked for a while, when suddenly there was a bang in the next room, and the two of them turned their heads to look at the door at the same time.

"Let's go, see. Xu Ming spoke, and the two of them went out in a flash and stood in the courtyard.

I saw that directly ahead, on the top of the room where Su Jumang was healing, wisps of red smoke floated up.

Sniffling lightly and taking a breath, Liu Yuan's eyebrows furrowed, and the red smoke lasted for a long time, making the air a little more bloody.

"It is worthy of being the number one master in the Ouchi, Wu Song's hand is clear and bloody, and he is very good. Xu Ming looked not far away and sighed in a low voice.

Listening to Liu Yuan's words, he naturally knew that Wu Song was powerful, but he didn't have a personal experience of how powerful it was.

With his eyesight, from the battle that day, he couldn't see the difference between these masters.

"I just hope that Wu Song's secret is completely lost, and don't leave it behind. Xu Ming followed and said.

It is hard to imagine how much Wu Song in his heyday would have to pay to kill him.

Yes, after Xu Ming calmed down now, Wu Song categorically couldn't live, so he would definitely not be able to bear it if he was seriously injured, and he would definitely die.

On the edge of the stone mill outside the door of the house, Xu Ming, including Worm, looked at the house quietly, with some expectations in their hearts.

But as a result, there was no movement for a long time.

As if the bang was just an auditory hallucination, after all the red smoke in the sky cleared, the room completely lost the slightest reaction.

"It looks like I can't get out today. Liu Yuan shook his head and said.

"yes, but judging by the fog just now, it's at least a good sign. Xu Ming said.

When a few people were chatting in the backyard, there was a knock on the door from the front hall, and they knocked three times, and after seeing that there was no movement in the house, the footsteps came straight to the backyard.

Liu Yuan's eyes signaled to Zheng Dongxi, who immediately walked towards the door, and before the other party could get started, he directly opened the door.

"Hehe, Brother Zheng is good. The person who came was dressed in simple armor, and said with a smile on his face.

The person who came, Zheng Dongxi, still knew him, and he was the guard of General Chai's mansion, so he nodded at the moment: "What, something's wrong?"

"Yes, the general heard that Shopkeeper Liu had returned, and sent me to invite him. The person nodded and said, "Ah, by the way, General Chai also said that if there is something in the hands of the shopkeeper, you can wait, and then leave when he is done." ”

"No need, let's go now, I have something to report to General Chai. Liu Yuan, who listened to the conversation between the two, greeted Xu Ming and walked over.

"Oh, that's great, shopkeeper, please. The guard looked very respectful, and bowed before walking forward.

We must maintain due respect for the shopkeeper Liu, which is what the general explained before leaving.

Although Liu Yuan's identity as the head of intelligence news cannot be revealed, respect is still there, and these Chai generals attach great importance to it.

The guard didn't know why he treated a merchant like this, but he had heard of the deeds of the world's first inn.

Now the two henchmen under General Chai's subordinates, Chen Chu and Ding Guangzhi, thought that they were all about to fight because of this inn.

The final result was naturally in vain, no one won, but this small inn became the biggest winner, and General Chai also allowed many unreasonable rules in the inn.

Later, the people who stayed in Qingchuan, as long as they had eaten the food of the world's first inn, no one did not say a good word, including him.

Therefore, for Liu Yuan, the big shopkeeper behind the inn, he also respects him from the bottom of his heart.

However, among the people who came to the inn to eat later, there were many people who fell in love with the two Dan Tangerine sisters, and many of them secretly wanted to ask for kisses, but unfortunately they all died without a problem.

Someone caught the attention of the shopkeeper of Liu Da, who saw the head and tail of the dragon, of course, it was not that he failed to ask for marriage and fell in love with him.

Instead, he wanted to save the country and see if he could please the shopkeeper and let him say a few good words, and then get the favor of the two sisters.

The young little guard is also a member of the courtship team, so he deliberately curry favor with Liu Yuan at this time.

All the way, he was talking about what happened after Liu Yuan left, of course, although he was young, he also knew the severity, and he didn't say anything about the secrets in the army.

But it also let Liu Yuan know a lot of information, for example, after he left, Chai Tingshan not only took the nearest county seat, but also recruited a lot of soldiers and horses one after another.

The power of Chai Zi General is growing stronger and stronger, and then he pushed forward and won two cities, and the people under his rule have increased, and the soldiers have enough grain and grass, and after the autumn harvest, they will also have a certain strength to seize Dade County.

It was also thanks to a series of things caused by the sword move cheats that mixed Xia Lingling's footsteps and gave Chai Tingshan plenty of respite.

And the latter is not as Xia Lingling expected at the beginning, just a rural villager with the idea of being rich and peaceful, but ambitious to annex nearby forces one after another.

caught Xia Lingling off guard, and before she could react at all, the hunting dog on the side of the couch turned into a tiger.

Walking on the road to the General's Mansion, Liu Yuan has been pondering these things in his heart and analyzing the current situation.

Although he is optimistic about Chai Tingshan, he also stands on Chai Tingshan's side, hoping that the other party can unify the king's land and enclosure as kings.

But thinking about Xia Lingling's ability and the situation in Dade County, I sighed that this matter was not easy.

In the end, there are still too many variables as to who will kill the deer.

As for what other purpose the little guard in front of him had, Liu Yuan didn't see it, he just thought that this person was talking too much.

Then Liu Yuan thought of Wang Dashan and his cheap apprentice Wang Sheng, I don't know how this kid mixed up in the army.

At that moment, Liu Yuan opened his mouth and asked directly: "You have been following General Chai for so long, have you ever heard of a young man named Wang Sheng?" ”

"Wang Sheng?!" The guard's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said: "The shopkeeper is talking about Wang Sheng, who is less than twenty years old and has divine powers?"

"Yes, it's him. Liu Yuan nodded, listening to the guard's description, it should be the same person.

"Then how can I not know. The guard clapped his palms and said: "In several tough battles to conquer the city, he has made many achievements, and now he is the youngest officer under the command of the general." ”

"Oh?" Liu Yuan was not too surprised, the other party could have this ability, he also expected it in advance.

It's not bad, Liu Yuan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, thinking that now Wang Dashan would not say anything, and he was sincerely happy for Wang Sheng.

It's also a coincidence, in recent days, Chai Tingshan has just returned to Qingchuan County from the front, first met the big head, and then learned the news of Liu Yuan's return.

It just happened that they had all met together, and after they got to know each other, he had to go back to the front.

The location of the General's Mansion is not close, and it is not far away, so the two of them arrived after chatting.

didn't stop in front of the door, the guard led Liu Yuan all the way in, and it was only a short walk, and the two of them arrived in front of Chai Tingshan's study.

Just stopped here, and the guard knocked on the door and said, "General, Shopkeeper Liu has arrived." ”

After the words fell, a familiar voice sounded from behind the door: "Okay, come in." ”

Saying that, the guard stretched out his hand to signal, Liu Yuan nodded and smiled, pushed the door and walked in.

After closing the door, I saw Chai Tingshan standing tall in front of the red wood-grain bookcase in front of the left at a glance, and then I also saw the big head sitting on the side.

"I've seen the general, and after a long time, the general's demeanor is even more than in the past. Liu Yuan smiled and hugged his fists.

"Your Excellency. At the same time, the big head also stood up and said to Liu Yuan, and smirked after speaking.

"Haha, where did you come from, sit. Chai Tingshan said the chair in front of him.

Liu Yuan pulled out a chair and sat down directly opposite him, followed Chai Tingshan without nonsense, and directly repeated the situation reported to him by the big head a few days ago.

At the end, he asked, "I don't know if the shopkeeper has anything to add." ”

After listening to some words, it was roughly the same as what Erniu said when he was in Dade County before.

After thinking about it, Liu Yuan nodded and said, "But there are still some of them." "Talking about the situation of some soldiers in Dade County, what is the strength of the troops, and a few points nearby.

"Understood. Chai Tingshan thought for a while after listening, and then said with a smile: "I heard that Xiao and his wife are in your inn." ”

"Yes, the general is smart. Liu Yuan nodded.

"Then according to the shopkeeper, do I have any hope of recruiting such a master to my command. Saying that, Chai Tingshan looked at Liu Yuan confidently.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said euphemistically: "I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

It is estimated that he is also a person like Chai Tingshan, and he can't realize what kind of existence a master like Xu Ming, who is seventh on the list of rivers and lakes.

Even Xia Lingling gave a lot of convenience and benefits, just to get Xu Ming's favor.

Or, could it be that the successive victories made Chai Tingshan a little fluttering?

Thinking about it, it should be unlikely to be the latter, and in terms of Chai Tingshan's background, it is more likely that the former is more.

"Oh?" Chai Tingshan was lightly surprised, and he was not too surprised or anything, he simply thought that his power was not strong enough.

"Still. Liu Yuan's sudden turn of events lifted Chai Tingshan's heart again.

In order not to hit the other party, but also for some other purposes, Liu Yuan said again: "It's not that General Chai is your problem, but now the couple has leaned towards Dade County." ”

"To what extent?" Chai Tingshan asked, following closely.

"If an enemy comes to attack, he will strike at least once. ”

"How long will the couple stay in Dade County?" Chai Tingshan asked again.

Sure enough, with Chai Tingshan's ability, he keenly grasped the subtext in his words, and Liu Yuan replied directly: "This is not easy to say, it will be seven days as fast as it is, and one month as long." ”

"Seven days...... Chai Tingshan muttered in a low voice with deep eyes.

Time was short, and several plans and plans came to his mind in an instant.

It seems that Chai Tingshan is not unaware of the strength of the two, Liu Yuan thought in his heart and said the main purpose of coming here today:

"I'll also tell General Chai that I'm leaving King's Landing. ”
