Qin Shaoyou was stunned when he heard this, and the face of a child with a dull expression and a snotty nose flashed in his mind.
That was Xue Xiaobao's senior brother in school, known as Dumb. He was often inseparable from a child who liked his older sister and shared many common interests with Zhu Xiucai.
Qin Shaoyou had gone to school to pick up Xue Xiaobao several times, so he naturally knew them.
However, Qin Shaoyou quickly realized that the senior brother Liao Tixue talked about could not be Dumb.
How could a little brat run out of Luocheng and come to Qingtangwei, and become friends with Tixue from a province? One of them had a runny nose, and the other couldn't stop peeing. What could they have in common?
Therefore, the person mentioned by Liao Tixue can only be the disciple of Master.
It was probably the senior brother who taught Xue Xiaobao the swordsmanship.
When they returned to Luocheng from Guankou County before, Xue Xiaobao was sad that he did not see his senior brother.
Qin Shaoyou still remembered that the master told Xue Xiaobao that his senior brother was out for business. Later, Cui Yougui and the others met that senior brother when they were fighting the epidemic and treating the people. But they didn't expect that he would actually come.
Arrive at Qingtangwei.
But this is undoubtedly good news for Qin Shaoyou!
Xue Xiaobao's senior brother had "beat up" his wife, and it was said that he even "beat him". His strength was definitely extraordinary.
He is really a big help in Qingtangwei!
Qin Shaoyou asked hurriedly: "Where did Lord Tixue see him?"
When Liao Tixue mentioned Xue Xiaobao's senior brother, there was a hint of respect in his tone: "He came to Qingtang Guard with me. He left briefly for a while and then came back. I talked with him about scriptures and Taoism.
, I learned a lot from him. It can be seen that although his teacher is not famous, he is a very capable hermit scholar. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit him and ask for advice."
After a pause, Liao Tixue said with a bit of envy: "Your nephew, to have such a master, senior brother, is really a blessing that he has cultivated for three lifetimes."
"I think so too." Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement, and then continued: "I dare to ask Master Tixue, do you know where to go to find my nephew's senior brother?"
"His whereabouts are elusive. Although I know he is in Qingtang Guard, I don't know where he is exactly. However, when he asked me to come over for help, he told me that if you want to find him, just
Go to the Confucius Temple in the city and leave a message, and he will come to see you."
"Thank you, Master Tixue, for telling me." Qin Shaoyou said with cupped hands, preparing to go to Confucius Temple to leave a message later.
On the one hand, he wanted to meet Xue Xiaobao's senior brother early and ask him for help. On the other hand, Qin Shaoyou felt that it was impossible for the master's apprentice to appear in Qingtang Guard for no reason. In addition to helping to repel the invading barbarians, he came here.
It is possible that he noticed something strange about the situation here and came to investigate. Maybe he has found some clues and evidence.
Liao Tixue waved his hand and said: "It's a small thing, not enough words to thank you."
Qin Shaoyou remembered something again and said hurriedly: "By the way, Mr. Tixue, do you know the name of my nephew's senior brother?"
"You don't know the name of your nephew's senior brother?" Liao Tixue was stunned, shook his head and said, "His surname is Wei and his name is Tu, you must remember it."
"Thank you, Master Tixue, for letting me know. I will remember it," Qin Shaoyou said with his hands in thanks, thinking in his heart: Wei Tu? Isn't this a pseudonym?
After asking about senior brother Xue Xiaobao, Qin Shaoyou changed the subject and asked tentatively: "Master Tixue, you have been in Qingtang Guard for a while, have you discovered anything?"
When Liao Tixue heard this, he did not answer in a hurry. He looked at Qin Shaoyou and then at Qin Qiaoer, and then said: "Do you have any doubts? The status and authority of the Marquis of Dongchuan are extraordinary, even if you are Chi Yi
Messenger, if you only have doubts, it is better not to act rashly."
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer looked at each other.
They heard the implication of Liao Tixue, and he must have noticed something was wrong with Qingtang Wei.
That's right, Liao Tixue can improve his studies in one province, so how can he be an ordinary person? No matter how cautious Dongchuan Hou and his son act, they will inevitably leave some clues.
After Liao Tixue reminded the two of them, he actually said that he had noticed some strange things in these days:
"The offensive habits of Qingtang are different from those in the past. They abandoned the use of mobility to engage in field battles with us, and the means of passing through the gaps between Wubao to burn, kill and loot. Instead, they built a stronghold and attacked
Gaocheng. The Marquis of Dongchuan said that the new Qingtang King did not know how to fight. But I always feel that the matter is not that simple. Because the grain transport teams we sent to various towns and Wubao Village were looted too many times.
The person who can use the tactics of borrowing food so skillfully cannot be someone who does not know soldiers. Besides, even if the new King of Qingtang does not know soldiers, the generals under him should also have people who know soldiers. But let’s talk about the new King of Qingtang.
They abandoned the tactics they were good at in the past in order to attack the city and avenge the old Qingtang King, but it didn't look like it. Although they raised the banner of revenge and roared the slogan of revenge loudly, but the real
The offensive is not as intense as imagined. At least, it is not as if they are really provoked and want to fight to the death against us."
When Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer heard this, they became more and more certain that Dongchuan Hou and Qingtang were fighting a tacit understanding.
Maybe Liao Tixue had a similar judgment, but he never had solid evidence, so he reminded them not to act rashly.
"Thank you, Master Tixue, for informing me of these situations." Qin Shaoyou said with his hands in hand.
Liao Tixue waved his hand: "No need to say thank you, it is my duty to cooperate with the investigation of the red-clothed envoy. You can report these words to Commander Qi and Commander Lu."
After a pause, Liao Tixue added: "I wonder if you have anything else to ask? If not, I will go to the Hou Mansion to check on the injury of Dongchuan Hou Shizi. If you have nothing else to do,
, why not come with me?"
What are you going to do? See if Dongchuan Hou Shizi scratches himself to death?
Qin Shaoyou complained in his heart.
However, he also understood that Prince Dongchuan was injured in front of them, and according to the rules of the officialdom, he should indeed visit him.
It would be good just to see if Prince Dongchuan is dead.
By the way, let's see if we can get some useful information in the Hou Mansion.
However, there are still a few things to do before going to visit Prince Dongchuan.
After Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer made eye contact, they said: "Master Tixue, let's go first. We will come back after we collect the scene. Maybe the voodoo breath left here can help us find out who harmed Dongchuan Hou Shizi."
That Qingtang Wizard."
Liao Tixue didn't say much. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the Hou Mansion."
