Chapter 14: Impostor
At noon the next day, the scorching sun was on the head, and although it was only late spring, it was still very sunny.
Liu Gewen and others set off early in the morning. Although they were all in good health, after a morning of driving, Liu Xing, Da Gouzi, and Er Gouzi were all tired, hungry and hot. Although Liu Gewen's body has been reshaped, he is still a magician with thin skin and little blood, and he can't hold on to it even more after walking all morning. The group could only rest in the woods by the roadside.
The old housekeeper Liu Xing sent a water bladder to Liu Gewen, who was sitting under a big tree, and said, "Young Master Gewen is tired, drink some water." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Xing. ”
Liu Gewen smiled and took the water bladder.
This is the name they had agreed upon. Liu Gewen also called his housekeeper an uncle at home, although the housekeeper was older than him, and this "old housekeeper" was nearly a thousand years younger than himself.
As for Liu Gewen's identity, Liu Xing suggested that he replace the only son of the second master of the Liu family in Yanbeiguan. This second master is the second brother of the newly deceased head of the Liu family in Yanbeiguan, who was killed by bandits in his early years, leaving a posthumous son, whose breast name is Bell.
Perhaps stimulated by his father's death, Young Master Bell has loved martial arts since he was a child, and when he was six years old, he left his mother and followed the wandering warriors to wander the rivers and lakes. Although the head of the family found him many times, he just didn't want to come back. Because he was too young when he left, most of the Liu family only remembered his milk name as Young Master Ling, but his real name was forgotten.
Until not long ago, because his mother was seriously ill, Young Master Bell did not return to Liu's house, wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, Young Master Bell used countless pseudonyms, so he didn't care that others continued to call him by his name. Sadly, not long after he returned to Liu's house, Di Jun came to attack Yanbei Pass, and he died in battle to protect several younger brothers and sisters.
Liu Gewen felt that the identity of this dead man was very suitable for him. He is not only a member of the Liu family, but he is not often in the Liu family, and he is not familiar with the Liu family, and the Liu family is not familiar with him. And this young master of the bell has a lot of pseudonyms, and he doesn't need to change his name, just call him Liu Gewen. Of course, that milk name...... It's better that no one calls it anymore.
Along the way, Liu Xing and the three of them have told Liu Gewen all the things about the Liu family in Yanbeiguan. Liu Gewen's mental power is extremely strong, and it is naturally very easy to memorize these things, and I believe it is enough to deal with other people's inquiries. If there is anything you don't know, even if you don't go back to Liu's house often, so you don't know, you can get through.
Although Liu Xing and the others were very interested in Liu Gewen's identity, neither His Royal Highness Zhenjun nor the young master himself would tell them, and they didn't dare to ask. They can all see that the relationship between this young master and His Royal Highness Zhenjun is not ordinary, as long as this young master is served well, His Royal Highness Zhenjun will naturally not treat him badly. As for letting Liu Gewen replace Young Master Ling, they don't have any burden, after all, that young man is not in the Liu family all the year round.
After a day of contact, Liu Gewen also got to know the three people. The three of them did not have a spiritual root, and in layman's terms, they had no cultivation talent and could not become monks.
But they are all martial artists who have cultivated worldly martial arts. In this world, many mortals who can't cultivate will practice some secular martial arts and exercise their physical bodies in order to protect themselves, which is the so-called martial arts.
Of course, Liu Gewen has no concept of martial artists, and Liu Gewen, as a high-ranking monk, has never been in contact with secular martial artists.
According to their own introduction, Liu Xing, the oldest in martial arts, is also the highest, and he has traveled to the rivers and lakes for decades and has rich experience. Although some people are old and sophisticated, they are absolutely loyal to the Liu family in Yanbeiguan.
The big dog and the second dog were both raised by Liu Xing, although they seem to be honest and honest, they are actually very shrewd, and they were adopted by the Liu family since childhood, and they are also very loyal to the Liu family. Their skills are also very good, but because they have not been trained in the rivers and lakes, they lack practical experience. In addition, the eldest dog and the second dog have rich hunting experience, and the food along the way is hunted by the two of them.
Of course, Liu Gewen also knew that they took such good care of themselves because of Liu Donghong's face. But it doesn't matter. As long as they are all in awe of His Highness the True Monarch, they will not betray themselves.
Ergouzi drank a few sips of water and complained: "I have been walking on two legs for the past few days, and I am slow and tired. If only we hadn't lost the horses and the carriage we had ridden when we fled from the city. ”
The big dog scolded: "Fart, if we hadn't abandoned our horses and hid in the mountains, we would have been caught up by the Di cavalry a long time ago, how could you and I have our lives." ”
Ergouzi was not convinced, and said: "It's safe now, but it's too hard to travel." Before, several young masters and young ladies were all complaining, and now Young Master Gewen is also very hard. ”
The old housekeeper Liu Xing also said: "Yes, let Young Master Gewen travel with us for such a long time, and suffer so much, the old slave really can't help it,"
He also wanted to get a carriage for this young master with fine skin and tender flesh now, but it was not easy to find a carriage.
Now in this period of war, there are poor refugees everywhere, and Liu Gewen and his party have seen several waves this day, most of them are extremely poor, they don't even have livestock, and there is no way to have a carriage. Those big families with horse-drawn carriages are relatively fast, and they have long fled to safety, so they will not flee here slowly and leisurely.
Even if they occasionally see a donkey cart or an ox cart, Liu Gewen and they can't afford it. Although there is gold on their bodies, in the troubled times, food is hard currency, but Liu Gewen and they don't have much food. And to buy it with gold, even if the price has increased many times, no one wants to sell it.
Now that I think about it, Liu Donghong, the true monarch of Yuanying, really has no experience in escaping from the famine, what kind of gold to give, how good it is to give more food!
Liu Gewen also knew this, so he naturally didn't complain about them, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Uncle Xing, it's time to exercise." ”
Of course, Liu Xing is very grateful for this young master's understanding, so he must take good care of this young master, Liu Xing said to the big dog and the dog: "You two go get something to eat and come back." ”
After drinking a few sips of water, their strength has recovered somewhat, so they get up and leave, looking for food, in fact, they just look around for wild vegetables and wild fruits, and if they encounter pheasants and hares, they will also come back by the way. The old butler stayed behind to keep Liu Gewen safe, even though Liu Gewen felt that he didn't need his protection.
Liu Gewen sat under the big tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, secretly absorbing spiritual energy and refining the acupuncture points on his hands. Anyway, Liu Xing and they don't have a spiritual root, so they can't feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy, as long as the action is not too big, they won't think much about it. Liu Xing was not idle, and found some dry firewood nearby, if he could catch wild things, he could roast and eat.
Rumble!
Just as Liu Gewen was closing his eyes and recuperating, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the woods!
