Chapter 8 Where to Find the Beauty

() The feeling of being close to home is even more timid. Liu Ye no longer has the calmness and indifference toward him. He has been away from home for several years and is just a teenager when he is away from his father and brother. Now he is over. Liu Ye stood in front of the house, recalling his father's instructions before leaving, and his brother's advice is vivid in his mind. It was yesterday when he was released, and he was vaguely visible, and his eyes were full of tears.

Liu Ye was about to knock on the door, but the door was opened with a creaking sound. The old servant with a sad face held a broom, his pale head lowered, and slowly pushed open the door. Liu Ye wiped his eyes and said in surprise: "Brother Zhuang, it's you!"

The old servant raised his head in confusion, staring at him in confusion at first, then looked at him in a daze, and finally came to his senses and grabbed Liu Ye happily: "Second Young Master, you are back." When Liu Ye's mother was alive, Zhuang Bo was an old man in the mansion and took good care of the Liu Ye brothers.

Uncle Zhuang suddenly pushed Liu Ye away: "Second Young Master, why did you come back? Miss was kidnapped by the thief a while ago." The old servant looked full of resentment and reluctance, but he seemed helpless.

"Miss?" It was Liu Ye's turn to be puzzled. His father had only his son and his brother Liu Huan. When did he have a lady? Could it be that the father had reunited his concubine in the years since he left home?

The old servant was anxious: "It's Miss Cao Yuan. After the master knew that the young master and Miss Cao Yuan had made a lifelong appointment, he made a marriage contract. The lady lived in the mansion for a long time and got married when the young master came back. Seeing that the young master had not seen any news for a long time, the lady was depressed. A few days ago, she went out to relax, but was caught by the thief." The lady who was talking about by Zhuang Bo made a lifelong appointment with Liu Ye, Cao Yuan, who is now in the Liu Mansion.

Liu Ye was shocked when he heard this: "A Yuan? What's wrong with A Yuan? How could he be kidnapped? Who is so bold?" Liu Ye was shocked and angry. Cao Yuan was in his house, and his sweetheart had not married, and even made a marriage contract with him at his house. When he returned to the house, he heard that Cao Yuan was kidnapped by the thief. Liu Ye was in a mess for a moment, his eyes were red, and he grabbed Zhuang Bo's shoulders tightly.

Liu Xun frowned, stepped forward and patted Liu Ye's arm gently: "Ziyang, calm down, don't get lost." Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, letting go of Zhuang Bo in a daze.

Only then did Uncle Zhuang see Liu Xun and others and wonder: "Who is this?"

Liu Xun bowed halfway: "We are all Ziyang's friends. This time we returned to our hometown with Ziyang, and we came to pay our respects to our uncle. This is Mr. Cai Yong and Cai, who travels with me."

Zhuang Bo suddenly realized that Liu Xun and others were all recruited by Emperor Ling to Beijing by Liu Ye, and went out for a study tour. He hurriedly said, "The distinguished guest is here, but he suddenly encountered a sudden change in the mansion and was rude for a moment. Please wait in the hall first. The old servant will go and call the master out now."

Liu Xun quickly refused: "The old man doesn't have to be so polite. We have a strong relationship with Ziyang. Ziyang's affairs are our affairs. Since your mansion is in trouble now, we should help you." In Liu Ye's trouble, everyone will naturally not sit idly by. If he causes trouble to the Liu mansion because of his and others' arrival at this time, how could he be miserable?

When Liu Pu saw Liu Ye, he was very surprised at first, but his face suddenly changed: "Rebellious son, what's the use of coming back now?" He coughed so much that he couldn't breathe. A man who was seventy-sixth-sixth-same-like Liu Ye hurriedly supported Liu Pu and stroked his back, "Father, how chaos in Luoyang City is, it's a blessing that Brother Ye can come back safely." However, it was Liu Ye's brother Liu Huan, no wonder he looked so similar to Liu Ye.

Liu Pu took a break and said in pain: "A Yuan has been kidnapped and now there is no news. What should I do?"

Liu Ye asked anxiously: "Father, A Yuan? How could A Yuan be kidnapped?"

Liu Huan carefully narrated it. Cao Yuan went out to relax and waited for a while in the mansion, but Cao Yuan did not come back. Liu Pu suspected that something was different and asked Liu Huan to search for him, but there was no one. Even the maids and servants who were there were no traces. At first, he thought he had been kidnapped by bandits, but Liu Pu asked someone to go to nearby villages of all sizes overnight to inquire about the news, but there was still no news. Cao Yuan was as if he had disappeared, without a trace.

Fa Zheng said in confusion: "How could my uncle know that the lady has been kidnapped ten times the thief, instead of searching for her son Yang privately." Fa Zheng already knew the story between Liu Ye and Cao Yuan. Cao Yuan couldn't wait for Liu Ye to return home, so he might even go to find Liu Ye himself.

Liu Pu pointed at Fa Zheng in confusion and looked at Liu Ye in confusion. Liu Ye hurriedly said, "This is a friend of the child in Luoyang, Fa Zheng, next to him is Liu Xun and Sima Yi whom he mentioned to his father." He also pointed at Cai Yong and Cai Yan: "This is the great scholar Mr. Cai Yong and Cai Yan. This time, the child is studying abroad, and Mr. Bo Kai takes care of him."

Liu Pu didn't know who Cai Yan was, but Cai Yong's name was familiar. Cai Yong had lived in seclusion in Kuaiji for many years, but few people in Yangzhou didn't know about Cai Yong.

"Thank you, Mr. Pu, thank you." Liu Pu hurriedly stepped forward to greet Cai Yong. Cai Yong was famous in the Jianghuai area, but not many people could see real people.

Cai Yong refused: "Ziyang has the talent of accompaniment, and I also cherish Ziyang's talent. The hardship of the boat and the old man is thanks to Ziyang." At this time, there was something in the mansion, and Liu Pu did not have the intention to talk to Cai Yong. After a few words, he continued to return to the doubts of fighting skills.

"When I asked me to go and search, someone once sent me a letter. Yan Yuaner was waiting for him. When the time came, he would come to visit the mansion and release him. Therefore, I can conclude that Yuaner was kidnapped by a thief." Liu Ye only realized that there was this origin, but who would plunder Cao Yuan for no reason? He had no enemies in his family. Even if there was, what's the use of kidnapping Cao Yuan? Without marrying Liu Ye, Cao Yuan was not a member of the Liu family.

Liu Xun, Sima Yi, Fa Zheng and others were also unclear. The nearby bandits had already investigated. It was not his or her own that Cao Yuan was tied up. Who was that? Could it be that he or she was passing by or a water bandit? Even if it was not possible that there was no trace of clues left. And since the book was left for Liu Pu, it was not that the crossover or a water bandit was doing.

Liu Xun didn't know what the situation was near Liu Ye's family. Since Liu Pu concluded that he was kidnapped and did not ask for ransom but left a letter, Cao Yuan could only comfort Liu Ye: "Zi Yang doesn't have to be anxious. Since the thief left the letter and said that he would come to the mansion when the time came, he would come to the mansion. It must be that there was something to threaten, so he kidnapped the lady to use it as a threat. Since it was a threat, he would not hurt the lady. The thief was also worried that if there was a mistake, he would not be able to plan."

Liu Pu was puzzled: "Who is that? What can I do to make him threaten?"

Liu Ye and Liu Huan brothers were also puzzled secretly. Although they were also members of the royal family, they were on the verge of decline. Why did someone threaten him and do things for him?

"I don't know this, I can only wait for the thief to hear from him." Liu Xun was also confused. There was no record in these historical books. It was probably his butterfly effect, so how could Liu Xun guess it?

Fa Zheng and Sima Yi were also puzzled, so he could only comfort Liu Ye and his son, and not be too impatient.

Outside Chengde City, in a remote manor.

"Chief, Liu Pu's second son Liu Ye has returned home now. Should I go to visit me?" Sui asked, but the person who asked said affirmatively.

Zheng Bao sneered: "If I hadn't used the reputation of Liu Pu's son Liu Ye, why would I have to go through so much trouble?"

Most of the scholars in Yangzhou were light and cunning. When the troubled times began, the local tyrants in Yangzhou were mostly people with respect. Zheng Bao was brave and brave, with outstanding talents and military power, with more than 10,000 people, and his power was the most powerful among the surrounding tyrants. Similarly, Zheng Bao was also an ambitious person. Although Chaohu was a rich place, it was relatively small. Zheng Bao plundered the people to Jiangnan. Liu Ye served in Luoyang and became famous. It was because he wanted to achieve this plan with the reputation of Liu Ye and his father Liu Pu in Huainan.

Liu Ye's reputation in history books is also because of this. However, Zheng Bao has found him in advance and even kidnapped Cao Yuan as a bargaining chip to threaten Liu Ye. Zheng Bao's power is in Chaohu and his actions are secret. How can Liu Pu find out the news?

"If Liu Ye can defect to a certain family, why worry about the great cause?" Zheng Bao said to himself.

"If Liu Ye knows the appearance of a leader, he will definitely be under the leader's banner. If he doesn't know the appearance, wouldn't he still have his wife who has not passed away?" He spoke about the plan of Zheng Bao's subordinate Chen Bin, and he offered him the plan to kidnap Cao Yuan.

"Hmph, Mingri went to Liu's mansion to meet the emperor's attendant." (Recommended this book "Shut Breaks the World")
