When we meet, we will drink for you. We will tie our horses to the tall buildings and weeping willows. -------"Youth Journey" by Tang Wangwei
Liu Xian led his troops to the Huang Mansion to arrest Chen Long, but naturally they failed. Liu Xian asked people to post the arrest documents everywhere and tell the story. When he went to his father's house to inquire, he found that his father had already fallen asleep with Mei Ji in his arms, so it was inconvenient to disturb him. Liu Xian happened to get down the slope, and with a wave of his hand, the troops were disbanded. He would report to the prefect tomorrow and make a decision. All the soldiers were eager to go home and hug their daughter-in-law to sleep, and they all left after hearing this.
Liu Xian returned to the house with a few soldiers. When he got off his horse, he saw Liu Dong waiting under the eaves, signaling with his eyes. Liu Xian nodded slightly and asked his men to take his beloved horse away and walk into the inner palace. Liu Xian's wife came up with her maid and helped him take off his coat and leather armor. Liu Xian's wife was the daughter of Liu Min, the general who led the army. It was a political marriage and Liu Du used it to win over Liu Min. But Liu Xian's wife had nothing immoral and was actually virtuous and obeyed Liu Xian's advice, so Liu Xian and his wife lived a warm life.
Liu Xian had finished dressing up and said to his wife, "I have to handle some official business in the study. No one is allowed to disturb me." Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement and walked to the door of the bedroom before going back. Liu Xian entered the front yard and went straight to the study. When he arrived outside the study door, he ordered two generals to guard the door and entered the study himself. Gently pulling out a few sets of bamboo slips on the bookshelf, a disk was revealed behind it. Liu Xian gently rotated the disk, and the bookshelf silently separated on both sides, revealing a secret room.
Liu Dong was waiting anxiously in the secret room. He was relieved when he saw Liu Xian coming. He pointed to the wall and backed away. It turns out that the secret room is divided into two parts: the inner and outer. The outer secret room door must be closed before the inner secret room door can be opened. It is very secretive and can be used as Chen Long's hiding place.
In the inner secret room, Chen Long was nibbling on some cold steamed buns sent by Liu Dong. Suddenly the wall opened and Liu Xian walked in. Chen Long quickly stood up and puffed out his cheeks to salute. Liu Xian smiled and said: "Wen Long, you don't have to be polite. Let's talk slowly after you finish eating. Why does Liu Dong neglect you so much? I'll give you a few cold steamed buns. I'll take care of him later." Chen Long swallowed three mouthfuls at a time. With the steamed bun in his mouth, he bowed and said: "Thank you Mr. Liu for saving me today, but I don't know why it happened like this?" Liu Xian told what happened today in detail, and finally said: "General Liu Xian is very He is a mercenary villain, it is impossible for him to secretly collude with the Yellow Turbans, this must be the Yellow Turbans’ treacherous plan.”
Chen Long nodded slowly and said: "General Liu Xian must have been wronged, but I don't know how he could be blamed on me?" Liu Xian pondered slightly, and asked without answering: "Chen Long, have you noticed anything recently? I'm afraid you are being targeted by the Yellow Turban senior management." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, which was a report letter written by Liu Xian to Liu Xian. Liu Xian said slowly: "Although I have always felt that Wen Long was a loyal man, if it weren't for General Liu Xian's letter saying that you had been assassinated by the Yellow Turbans, I would not have completely believed you and risked being discovered. I am determined to clean up the danger for you."
After Liu Xian finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Chen Long with bright eyes and said, "Wen Long, can you tell me your true origin?" Chen Long knew that this was Liu Xian asking him to hand over his certificate, otherwise he might be handed over to Xing Daorong in minutes. At that moment, he said without hesitation: "I am not from Changsha, but from Chang'an. I was brought to the mountains by my master when I was young. I practiced some martial arts and achieved some success. This time I came out of the mountains with peach blossoms. I wanted to wait for the price and sell them. A reliable lord. Master strictly ordered not to reveal his name, please tell me that I can't go into details." This was half true and half false. Although Liu Xian didn't expect to believe it, at least he couldn't find any loopholes.
Liu Xian nodded slightly, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind. He stood up and said to Chen Long: "Wen Long, as the saying goes, the golden scales are not the things in the pond. The first time I saw you, I felt that you were a dragon and a phoenix among men. Not to mention I really admire your arrow at the top of the city." As he said that, he magically pulled out a jar of wine from behind the bookshelf in the secret room, opened the lid, and the aroma of wine overflowed. Just listen to Liu Xian say: "Wenlong, I am me, and my father is my father. My father is old and confused, and he listens to slanders. I have been wary of Xing Daorong for a long time. I am here to tease the words today, and I am here. , I will definitely keep you safe." After saying that, he took a swig from the jar.
Chen Long was overjoyed. With Liu Xian's full support, his situation was no longer in danger, and he could make a quick comeback. At that moment, he took the wine jar, took a swig and said, "Wen Long would like to thank the young master here. I didn't expect that the young master values me so much. If I don't give up, Chen Long is willing to do my best!"
Liu Xian was stunned when he heard this and murmured: "My virtue is not worthy of being your lord." After saying that, he took Chen Long's hand and said: "Wenlong, since you and I are destined to know each other, how about I be willing to sworn with you? From now on. The two brothers make their way through the world together and support each other.”
Chen Long was so happy that he and Liu Xian gathered earth to make incense. The two knelt down and prayed, saying that they could not be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but they only wished to die in the same year, the same month and the same day, and become brothers of the opposite sex. Speaking of age, Chen Long was only two months older and became the eldest brother. The two of them drank wine from the altar and felt happy. Chen Long thought of Huang Gai and quickly told Liu Xian that he had a third brother, Liu Xian. He laughed loudly and said that he had long thought Huang Gai was good, and now he has accepted this third brother. Chen Long laughed and said: "In ancient times, there were three sworn brothers in the Taoyuan, but now there are three sworn brothers in the secret room, haha!" Liu Xian frowned and asked, "What are the three sworn brothers in the Taoyuan?"
Chen Long knew that he had spilled the beans, so he quickly interrupted the conversation by drinking. He remembered the investigation of the Yellow Turbans, and said to Liu Xian: "Second brother, I suspect that someone in the Xiaoxiang Gang colluded with the Yellow Turbans, so he knows everything about the situation in the city, and he is from the Xiaoxiang Gang." Senior. I have asked my third brother to pay attention to the recent movements of the Xiaoxiang Gang. You can also ask someone to investigate tomorrow to find out who has been in frequent contact with the Xiaoxiang Gang recently." Liu Xian nodded in agreement and said to Chen Long: "Brother is here to make me feel wronged these days. Stay here for a while, and I will ask Liu Dong to bring you three meals a day. There are people guarding the outside all day long, and they are all my own, so it is very safe." Chen Long nodded in agreement, and the two of them drank wine in one sip, and Chen Long Asked about personnel conflicts in the county system, especially the situation of Xing Daorong.
Speaking of several important officials in the county system, Liu Xian sighed slightly and said: "It turns out that when my father started his business, Liu Yong, Liu Min, and Liu Xian all followed his father to start their own businesses. Later, when my father was in danger when he suppressed bandits, thanks to "
After taking a sip of wine, Liu Xian continued: "Xing Daorong, relying on his father's trust, has been ostracizing Liu Xian and Liu Yong, and it is getting worse and worse." Chen Long suddenly said: "I don't know if what happened today has anything to do with him. ?”
Liu Xian couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He put down the wine jar and said, "That's not enough!" He fell into deep thought. Chen Long didn't bother him. Liu Xian was stunned for a while, and suddenly he cupped his hands and said, "Brother, it's getting late. I'll go back first to avoid making people suspicious." After that, he hurried away. Chen Long was lying dullly on the small bed in the secret room, wondering if Taohua was feeling better. The first level of mass breathing was naturally running smoothly, but he seemed to have encountered a bottleneck. His strength was always stuck at 1,000 kilograms of boxing power and high jump. 40 meters, I don’t know when I will be able to find new internal skills and continue to improve my strength.
When Liu Xian returned to the bedroom, Mr. Liu got up early and was waiting, busy around Liu Xian. Liu Xian remained silent. If his wife hadn't been Liu Min's daughter, he might have liked her even more. But Xing Daorong seems to have ambitions for the county, and Liu Min hangs out with Xing Daorong all day long, so he has to be careful about his words and deeds in front of the Liu family. Mrs. Liu saw that Liu Xian was silent and didn't say much. The two of them fell asleep in silence. What Liu Xian couldn't see was that the face of his wife, who was sleeping on his back, was already covered with tears.
In the guest room of Zhang Ning, the Yellow Turban Saint, at the Anling Inn, Li Le was giving a detailed report on the latest situation in the city. Speaking of Liu Xian being captured and Chen Long missing, Zhang Ning frowned slightly, raised his hand and lightly hammered the table, and said angrily: "Chen Long is missing? How could the Second Protector do this?" Li Le hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Holy girl, the person responsible for arresting Chen Long is not the Second Protector, but Young Master Liu Xian. I heard that he brought his troops to Huang'an's mansion overnight, but for some reason Chen Long has disappeared." Zhang Ning calmed down and whispered: "Is it Young Master Liu Xian?" Li Lelian said: "Yes, the Second Protector feels that Liu Xian has no reason to help Chen Long. Maybe he is lucky and happens to be away?" Zhang Ning shook his head slightly and said nothing. .
Li Le continued: "Holy girl, Chen Long's wife is still in the Huang Mansion. Why don't you arrest her and ask her?" Zhang Ning frowned when he saw Li Le's rudeness and said: "Don't arrest her, let Gang Leader Yang find her." Just keep an eye on me, if Chen Long meets her, let us know immediately." Li Le nodded and went off. Zhang Ning took off her veil and loosened her bun. Suddenly, her long black hair fell down to her waist like a waterfall, swaying slightly. The room was filled with endless amorous feelings. Zhang Ning slowly bit her lips and squeezed out a few words: "Young Master Liu Xian?"
Li Le walked out of the inn, thinking about how he was deliberately rude in front of the saint just now. What kind of big show is this little girl still playing here? His life is in danger at this time as an undercover agent, and he has to be at the mercy of this little girl. As he hurriedly walked into the long street, he didn't notice a man in coarse cloth following him closely.
This man was Huang Gai's brother. That day Huang Gai promised Chen Long to investigate the Xiaoxiang Gang and immediately assigned it to several of his direct brothers. These brothers contacted a brother who was close to the gang leader and used money to lure out a message. It was Li Le, the owner of Anling Inn. He had visited Gang Leader Yang several times in the past few days. The two of them were mysterious and did not know Gang Leader Yang. What's there to talk about with an innkeeper? When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, so there is someone who has been following Li Le.
Li Le walked in a zigzag way, seemingly not noticing anyone paying attention to him, and plunged into the Xiaoxiang Gang headquarters compound located by Xiaoshui River in the west of the city. This is the nth time Li Le has been here in the past two days, and he is already familiar with it.
Entering the compound, the gang guard went to report to the gang leader, and Li Le went to the living room to wait. After a while, a man walked in. He was about eight feet tall, wearing a gray gown, with a long and thin face, black eyebrows, three locks of beard, and a thick black face. He was obviously a martial artist, but he pretended to be elegant. With a charming temperament, he stepped back and asked: "What orders does the saint have?"
The person who came was none other than Yang Huai, the leader of Xiaoxiang Gang. He was not a member of the Yellow Turbans, but now that the power of the Yellow Turbans has greatly increased, if he wants to continue to do business in Xiaoxiang Ershui and protect this golden waterway, he must bow to the Yellow Turbans. In order to help others live, it will also save himself and those above him. In order to benefit, it is inevitable to secretly help the Yellow Turbans to do something. Who knows when the Yellow Turban Army will not become the master of Lingling?
Li Le asked him to send someone to keep an eye on the peach blossoms. When Yang Huai heard that it was a trivial matter, he agreed. Li Le walked out of the Xiaoxiang Gang compound and was not in a hurry to go back to the inn to see the saint's face. It was rare to have some time. How could he be worthy of himself if he didn't do some personal things. Liu Ying'er, the famous brand of Xiaoxiang Garden, was both beautiful and artistic, and her singing of songs was amazing. Why not enjoy it by yourself and go straight to the brothel.
Xiaoxiangyuan is the largest brothel in Quanling County. Prostitutes in ancient times paid attention to both sex and art, so that they could have sex with the person they liked. Some were prostitutes who did not sell their bodies, unlike today's prostitutes who directly trade money and have no fun. It can be said that this is also the reason why men in ancient times, even ministers and ministers, liked to visit brothels. To put it bluntly, a brothel is a place where men can drink, flirt, talk, show off, show off, make friends, and do business, similar to today's large restaurants, nightclubs, and private clubs.
Li Le came to Xiaoxiang Garden and was rewarded with a piece of silver. Liu Ying'er played and sang a song with a pipa in hand. Just when Li Le felt numb all over, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and put a dagger on his heart. , a deliberately lowered voice sounded from behind: "Don't look back, just follow me."
Li Le was pushed out of the brothel with a dagger. Suddenly, his vision went dark, and someone put a black hood on him. Then he was hit hard on the back of the head, and he didn't know anything anymore. When he woke up, he found that he was tied to a chair and his mouth was stuffed with a smelly foot wrap.
When the little brother who was watching him saw that he was awake, he went out and called out. A big man in casual clothes, Shi Shiran, with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in. Was it Huang Gai or who else? Huang Gai was playing with a giant mace with many wooden nails in his hand, and threw it in front of Li Le with a clang. He picked up Li Le's collar and said with a raised eyebrow, "You just ate wooden nail porridge." , or tell me now, who are you?"
