Just experienced a smashing and robbery, the antique shop could only close, Chu Suiliang and Liu Hongji waited for Diao Xiaosi and Xu Maogong to come back while cleaning.
I have to say that Diao Xiaosi is a neat way to do things, and the antique shop has not yet been cleaned, so he tried his best to support Xu Maogong, who was limping and trembling, and walked in.
Xu Maogong looked at the mess all over the ground, struggled to shake off Diao Xiaosi's gentle and considerate hand, and said in surprise: "What's the matter?"
Liu Hongji picked up a few vase porcelain pieces from the ground, and said sullenly: "Just now, someone was appreciating treasures here, saying that you only need to listen to the sound of antiques to know whether it is real or fake." β
Xu Maogong was stunned and said: "Just by listening to the sound, you can know the Dao, who has such ability?"
Liu Hongjimu said expressionlessly: "That master is standing behind you, as long as you are willing to open your mind, you can try." β
Xu Maogong suddenly felt a chill rushing up from his spine, and secretly congratulated himself that he was just a fortune teller.
Diao Xiaosi sat down at the account desk and supported his head with his hand, and said, "Xiao Chu, close the door and let the cat go!"
Xu Maogong stared at the Persian cat with his tail obediently squatting at Diao Xiao's feet, and suddenly knew that something was wrong.
Chu Suiliang looked at Xu Maogong with infinite sympathy and said, "Did you say something you shouldn't have said, and you took something you shouldn't have taken?"
Xu Maogong immediately took out two ingots of silver, stuffed them to Liu Hongji and said, "Brother Liu, you have been wronged, this is a medical expense." β
Without waiting for Liu Hongji to speak, he turned his head and handed a silver ticket to Chu Suiliang and said, "This is the loss fee in the store." β
"Five thousand taels?!" Chu Suiliang's hand trembled, and he said suspiciously: "Stolen or picked up?"
Diao Xiaosi's face was hideous, and he shouted: "That's Lao Tzu's money - Xiao Chu, close the door and let the cat go!"
"Bang!" Chu Suiliang took the silver ticket, quickly closed the door and said, "Say, bite whom?"
Then, from time to time, passers-by on the street would hear a vague series of strange sounds coming from the antique shop, like whose cat was in spring and whose dog was wailing.
After a while, the antique shop slowly fell silent, Diao Xiao's four faces were plastered and his hands were bandaged, lying on the account table weakly, and there was a refreshed Persian cat next to him, patrolling back and forth with his tail raised high and showing off his might.
Chu Suiliang sat next to him, holding the five thousand taels of silver ticket in his hand and looking at it over and over again.
Liu Hongji's hands were not idle, grabbing the two bronze chimes that had just been smashed, and they kept knocking.
Only Xu Maogong was a little better, slowly and methodically put the golden needles back into his pocket, and asked with a pleasant face: "Little fourth brother, can we start talking about business?"
Diao Xiaosi said angrily: "Crazy and inhumane, who can ...... Uphold justice, return my silver ticketβ"
Xu Maogong just didn't hear anything, and introduced him to Liu Hongji and said: "This Brother Liu is a capable general under the command of King Qin, and he is the half-brother of President Liu of the Luoyang Heluo Dart Bureau. This time, Mr. Liu responded to the call of the King of Qin and prepared to cooperate with the outside when the army besieged Luoyang. Who knew that the news was leaked, and now he is in prison. Brother Liu was very anxious, and rushed to Luoyang in the starry night, in order to try to rescue Mr. Liu's darthead. β
Diao Xiaosi rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, Liu Zhihao is imprisoned in the Qiyun Pagoda of the White Horse Temple. I believe that with Brother Red Rooster's high talent, it is not easy to deal with a mere old thief in the cave?"
Chu Suiliang hurriedly said: "Little fourth brother, rescuing Mr. Liu's dart head is a big deal, how can you and I stand by and watch together?"
Diao Xiaosi stretched out his scarred hands and said: "I want to take a hand, but unfortunately I have just been beaten, I have been injured, I am tired, ten fingers are thicker than carrots, and I have the intention to kill the thief and have no power to return to the sky." β
Liu Hongji's lips moved slightly, and he was stopped by Xu Maogong's eyes. I heard Niu Bi laugh and said: "The rescue of Mr. Liu's dart head is purely voluntary, of course we can't force the little fourth brother to help." But don't worry, we put our righteousness first, even if we are defeated and captured, no matter what kind of torture we are forbidden, we will never confess to the little fourth brother. β
Diao Xiaosi jumped off the account table and said, "Lao Tzu has one condition, he will not agree to pull it down." β
Liu Hongji immediately said: "Lao Tzu is a poor egg, and he doesn't need to talk about money." β
Diao Xiaosi said: "If the operation is successful, no matter who asks, you have to say that the person was rescued by Lao Tzu." β
When Liu Hongji heard this, he agreed without hesitation: "No problem, as long as you can rescue the eldest brother, it doesn't matter if you can save the big brother." β
Diao Xiaosi smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Red Rooster, let's make a decision!"
Liu Hongji didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Diao Xiaosi's gourd, so he high-fived him and made a contract, saying: "Lao Tzu spits a nail in one mouthful, what are you afraid of?"
Chu Suiliang said: "Tell everyone a good news, just last night, Tian Zhan, the general under Wang Shichong, led the soldiers and civilians of 25 states to surrender to His Royal Highness King Qin, and Guo Qing and Wei Lu also abandoned the secret and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Wang Shichong rebelled and left, and the day of defeat was imminent. β
Xu Maogong said quietly: "Brother Chu, we can't be too happy yet. Luoyang City is strong, and there will definitely be a hard battle in the future. Moreover, according to reliable information, Dou Jiande's envoy has arrived in Luoyang and is discussing the alliance with Wang Shichong. What is even more worrying is that it is very likely that the Turkic secret envoy has mixed into Dou Jiande's mission. If these three families join forces, the pressure on His Royal Highness King Qin will be unprecedented. β
"Turkic Secret Envoy ......" Diao Xiaosi thought of the Lauder on the Golden Vase Plum Spectrum, and couldn't help but feel energetic, and couldn't wait to say: "Could it be that the Sect Master of the Japanese Sect is here himself?"
Xu Maogong said with a smile: "It is absolutely impossible, Rizong's status in the Turks is transcendent, and Jieli Khan still asks her not to move." β
Diao Xiaosi was disappointed, lost interest in the Turkic secret envoy, and asked, "Have you got in touch with Second Brother Qin?"
Xu Maogong nodded and said: "Things are going very well, the second brother and the fourth brother have already decided to return to Tang, but the specific details are still to be discussed. Maybe the fourth brother doesn't know that the second brother Qin once saved His Majesty's next family, and he has had a relationship with His Royal Highness King Qin and Chai Luma for many years. β
Diao Xiaosi thought of the old incident when Chai Shao entrusted him to take Qin Qiong out of Chang'an City, and time passed so fast.
Liu Hongji asked: "Is it possible to persuade Shan Xiongxin to surrender?"
Xu Maogong smiled bitterly: "I have talked about this matter privately with the second brother and the fourth brother, and the possibility is almost zero. β
Chu Suiliang said: "Little fourth brother, aren't you in charge of money and collecting accounts in Shan Xiongxin's mansion?"
Diao Xiaosi said angrily: "Bullshit cares about money, Lao Tzu cares about feeding horses." β
Xu Maogong smiled and said, "In order to facilitate my actions in the future, I have drawn up a new set of contact methods. Each of us has to give ourselves a nickname, preferably unrelated to our original name. β
Liu Hongji said: "Liu admired Guan Erye the most in his life, so I used this nickname." β
Chu Suiliang thought for a while and asked, "How about my name Shusheng?"
Diao Xiaosi shook his head and said, "Bad luck, a man even loses his kidney, what else can he do?"
Chu Suiliang's face turned green, fortunately he was holding a silver ticket in his hand, otherwise he would have smashed it.
Xu Maogong obviously had already thought of his nickname, and smiled: "I'll call it Fox." Little Fourth Brother, what about you?"
Diao Xiaosi pondered for a long time, and wanted to find a nickname that was easy to remember and loud, like "shameless broom star", which would never be used. He suddenly thought of the Tianluo astrolabe in his pocket, and his eyes lit up and said, "Yes, from now on, you will call me Xingye!"
"Master Xing?" The other three people in the room looked at each other, and they all had the urge to beat this kid again.
Especially Liu Hongji, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong - Xing Ye, Xing Ye, isn't that Xingyu's grandfather, his own father?
Diao Xiaosi's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Let's goβlet me take my brothers to see Liu Xingyu together!"
Liu Xingyu's current hiding place is in a single-family mansion in Renfang, Dongli, Luoyang City, next to Yongtong Gate, which is convenient for access and access, and is a private property purchased by Liu Zhihao in the name of a distant relative in his early years.
Diao Xiaosi led Xu Maogong, Chu Suiliang, and Liu Hongji to rush over, and immediately alarmed the guards of the Liu Mansion. When Liu Xingyu heard the news, he couldn't help but cry when he saw Liu Hongji.
Everyone came to the small flower hall in the mansion and sat down, Liu Xingyu glared at Diao Xiaosi and said, "It turns out that you are not called Hua Tielu!"
Diao Xiaosi chewed rose cake in his mouth, and said inarticulately: "Don't worry, what I promised you will definitely be done." β
Liu Hongji was worried that his nephew would be deceived, so he hurriedly asked: "Xingyu, you can't believe this kid's words, and you can't believe them all." What did he promise you?"
Liu Xingyu replied: "He promised to help me rescue my father, and I will give him a reward after the deed." β
Liu Hongji knew that something was wrong, and said eagerly: "How much?"
Diao Xiaosi was a thief with a weak heart, and said first: "Not much, not much, almost 50,000 taels." β
Liu Hongji felt a pain in his flesh, and before he could reprimand Diao Xiaosi for taking advantage of the fire to rob when he saw Qian Yankai, he heard Liu Xingyu add in a low voice: "It's gold." β
"Gold?!" Liu Hongji's eyes immediately flashed with golden light, and he almost didn't lose his breath, and said angrily: "You kid dare to be black-"
Diao Xiaosi hurriedly said: "We just high-fived, a mouthful of spit and a nail, no tricks!"
"Karala!" Liu Hongji was stunned, and he had nowhere to vent his anger and smashed the couch mat.
Diao Xiaosi was afraid that Liu Hongji would settle accounts with him again, so he hurriedly diverted the conversation and said, "Simply, let's act tonight to rescue Mr. Liu's dart." β
Xu Maogong said unhurriedly: "It's better to wait a few more days." β
Liu Xingyu was anxious to save his father and said, "What are you doing?"
Xu Maogong said: "This time, we not only have to rescue the arrested Mr. Liu's dart head and the brothers in the dart game, but also take the opportunity to uproot the power of Ci'en Temple in Luoyang." Therefore, both the Qingcheng Sword Sect and Zhongnan Mountain will have masters rushing to help, so they need to wait a few more days. β
Diao Xiaosi was overjoyed when he heard it, the last thing he wanted was to fight with the old thief of Dongding, and now there are Qingcheng and Zhongnan families sending people to top the cylinder, which is really wonderful.
He asked: "Who will come to Luoyang, the old thief of Dongding is not easy to deal with." β
Xu Maogong replied: "For the time being, I don't know who will come. But there are already candidates to deal with the Dongding Monk. β
Chu Sui said curiously: "Could it be that the head of the eldest grandson wants to take action in person?"
Xu Maogong shook his head with a smile and said: "This person is chivalrous and witty, and he can conquer and fight countless enemies - far away in the sky, close in front of him. β
Chu Suiliang suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the fourth brother." Hey, where's the little fourth brother? Little fourth brother, where are you going-"
