Liu Kuohai dragged Jia Liu to the open space on the roadside. Hu Xiaotian also came to them, looked at Jia Liu with a smile and said: "Isn't this Jia Liu? What a coincidence, are you following me or following me?"
Jia Liu covered his nose and looked extremely embarrassed: "Sir... Your Majesty... I'm unjustly accused..."
Liu Kuohai said angrily: "You are so unjust. You actually dare to secretly follow me. What is your purpose?"
Jia Liu said: "I just hunt, nothing else."
Murong Feiyan didn't say anything. He moved the long sword in his hand and cut Jia Liu's sleeve with a "chi!" sound. A monocular telescope hidden in it rolled out. Just now, Jia Liu was hiding in the forest and peeping through the telescope.
, the reflection of the lens was noticed by Murong Feiyan, and based on this clue, Jia Liu was found hiding in the forest.
Hu Xiaotian picked up the telescope, closed one eye and looked into the distance, then put it directly into his arms, obviously intending to keep it for himself.
Jia Liudao: "My lord, you are wronged..."
Hu Xiaotian said to Liu Kuohai: "Kuohai, I remember there is a cliff behind it, it is dozens of feet high, right?"
Liu Kuohai nodded. He didn't know which section Hu Xiaotian was pointing to, but there were many sections of cliffs behind it.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If someone accidentally falls from above, will he die?"
Liu Kuohai understood what he meant and dragged Jia Liu up from the ground. Jia Liu was so frightened that he was not an official, he was just a robber. There was nothing he wouldn't dare to do, such as murder and arson.
De screamed: "My lord, my lord, I was wrong, I will never dare to follow you again..."
Hu Xiaotian sneered. He stretched out his hand and patted Jia Liu's skinny cheek twice and said, "Why are you following me? Tell me honestly and I will let you live."
Jia Liudao: "I'm just curious...nothing else..."
Hu Xiaotian turned his back. Liu Kuohai understood what he meant and picked up Jia Liu like an eagle grabbing a chicken. Jia Liu struggled to escape and actually pulled off his coat. A golden cicada came out of its shell. Liu Kuohai only caught it.
Fortunately, Murong Feiyan outflanked Jia Liu in time and kicked Jia Liu to the ground. He raised his sword and pressed it against Jia Liu's throat: "Where are you running?"
Jia Liu fell to the ground, because his clothes were torn off by Liu Kuohai, and his upper body was naked, revealing his chest tattoo, with a majestic tiger head tattooed on his chest. Murong Feiyan frowned and said in surprise: "You are
Soldiers from Xizhou Hutou Camp?" She made this judgment based on the shape of the tattoo.
Hu Xiaotian sneered and said, "Any tattoo shop can do this!"
Liu Kuohai on the side said: "Your Majesty is right, I have one too!" This guy pulled up his cuffs. As expected, he also had a tiger head tattooed on his left arm, but the workmanship of his tattoo was really poor, and it looked like
It looks like the work of a preschooler.
Murong Feiyan took a closer look and was convinced that the tattoo was no ordinary counterfeit. He recognized Jia Liu's identity and thrust his long sword forward. He threatened, "Tell me, are you from Hutou Camp?"
Jia Liu looked gloomy. Knowing that his identity had been completely exposed, he bit his lip and said, "Since I have fallen into your hands, I will kill or cut him into pieces as you please."
Hu Xiaotian heard what he said so forcefully. He nodded and said, "Since you want to die, let him be satisfied. Find an uninhabited cliff in Kuohai and throw him down." He was clearly deliberately intimidating.
The bravery Jia Liu showed just now was just holding on. When he heard that he was going to be killed to silence him, he was so frightened that he suddenly lost his mind and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, please spare my life..."
Murong Feiyan said coldly: "The Xizhou Hutou Camp is the most brave and powerful army under the command of Master Li, the Jiedushi Commander of Xichuan. How could a person like you come out?" Although Murong Feiyan was far away in the capital, he had no interest in Xichuan.
We still have some understanding of the situation. Li Tianheng, the military governor of Xichuan, was a famous general of Dakang. He defeated Sharjah when he defeated Heimiao and made great contributions to the stability of the southwest border of Dakang. Only then did he gain the trust of the emperor and confer the title of Nan Xichuan Jiedu.
The envoy, Guanglu doctor, the Minister of Military Affairs, Tongping Zhangshi, Xizhou Yin, the founding Duke of Xichuan, with three thousand households in the city. He was in charge of the southwest and was called the Southwest Tiger in the Dakang army. And Li Tianheng had an army of nearly
The Guards are the Tiger Head Battalion. Every time they go to the battlefield, they always charge forward, one against ten. They are extremely brave and are equivalent to the special forces in modern society. Therefore, Murong Feiyan does not believe in a timid guy like Jia Liu who is afraid of death.
Will be a member of Hutou Camp.
Jia Liu sighed and said: "I was originally a civilian in Hutou Camp. I was able to join because I was good at the dialects of various southwest tribes."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, signaled Murong Feiyan to remove his sword, and said softly: "Is Jia Dewang one of yours too?"
Jia Liu couldn't help but look horrified when Hu Xiaotian revealed the secret.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's not a big secret. You two are really bad at acting. You couldn't hide it from the stupid officer. Do you think you can hide it from me?"
Jia Liu said: "Sir, I have no ill intentions towards you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "As soldiers of Xizhou Hutou Camp, why are you here if you don't serve in Xizhou?"
Jia Liu bit his lips and said: "My lord, I will tell you the truth. Four months ago, we came with the army to Qingyun to suppress the bandits. However, we were unfortunately ambushed in Tianlang Mountain and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, only a few of us escaped.
, I am worried about being punished by military law if I go back, so I have been living in exile until now." He sighed and said sadly: "Today I fell into the hands of the Lord, how to deal with it is up to you."
From Jia Liu's expression, Hu Xiaotian deduced that what he said was most likely the truth. Of course, there were many hidden elements in it. Hu Xiaotian did not press him further and motioned for him to stand up and pointed to the river behind him.
The remaining dike said: "How much do you know about things here?"
Jia Liudao: "The gangsters from Tianlang Mountain once built a dam here to store water."
Hu Xiaotian frowned: "What do they want to do?"
Jia Liudao: "They wanted to release water to destroy the Qingyun Bridge, but they did not achieve their goal. In the end, they had to use explosives to blow up the bridge, creating the illusion that the Qingyun Bridge was destroyed by a flash flood. Almost all the people in Qingyun County and even these bureaucrats were kept in the dark.
Here..." At this point, he suddenly remembered that Hu Xiaotian was also one of the bureaucrats, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
Hu Xiaotian said: "You don't have to worry, I am different from those people."
Jia Liu said: "Sir, this is all I know."
Hu Xiaotian laughed, and he looked particularly cunning when he laughed. When Jia Liu heard his laughter, he couldn't help but feel a hair in his heart and lowered his head.
After Hu Xiaotian finished laughing, he said: "Since you don't dare to go back, why do you still stay in Qingyun? This Qingyun County still belongs to Xichuan. Aren't you worried that one day you will be discovered and you will still be unable to escape the military law?"
Jia Liudao: "My lord, my hometown is in Qingyun. It's hard to leave my hometown."
"It's hard to leave the homeland. I think you have other plans." Hu Xiaotian stared at Jia Liu with sharp eyes. Jia Liu's eyes wandered to avoid Hu Xiaotian's gaze. He only felt that although this man was young, he was unusual, and his eyes seemed to be able to look straight into the eyes.
From the bottom of my heart.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have no interest in your business, but Qingyun County is under my rule. I just pretend that I have never seen you. You'd better be an honest person and don't cause me any trouble."
, go!”
Jia Liu nodded repeatedly. He didn't expect Hu Xiaotian to let him go so easily. He quickly thanked him and walked down the mountain. After taking two steps, he remembered his telescope. When he looked back, he saw Hu Xiaotian admiring it with his telescope.
As for the scenery in the distance, he probably took it for himself. Jia Liu cursed in his heart, but it is not easy for a hero to escape unscathed if he does not suffer the immediate consequences.
Just as Jia Liu left, Murong Feiyan asked Hu Xiaotian in a low voice: "I'll go with him to have a look."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, and he and Liu Kuohai also got up and returned.
It was already dusk when I returned to the city. When I walked into the city gate, I saw the chief secretary Guo Shouguang walking down from the top of the city wall. There was another person beside him, it was Liu Baoju, the captain of Qingyun County. Both of them were considered to be in Qingyun County.
A high-level cadre, the county captain is equivalent to the county police chief in modern society, and he is still a powerful figure in Qingyun County. This is the first time Liu Baoju and Hu Xiaotian have met. This guy is a smiling Buddha, smiling at everyone he sees, from afar
He greeted: "Master Hu! It's polite to lower your rank!"
Hu Xiaotian really didn’t know him before hearing Guo Shouguang’s introduction. Do you think I’m very familiar with you? He nodded slightly as a greeting. After Guo Shouguang introduced Liu Baoju to him, he then said: “Mr. Hu, Mr. Xu is in the county tonight.
A banquet will be held in the Yamen Garden to welcome you and wash away the dust. I specially ordered my subordinates to wait here."
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself that Xu Qinglian was finally a bit human. It’s been two days since I came. You avoided seeing me yesterday, and you were going to make me go to pay your respects in the evening. You sent me out again today, and now you think of giving it to me.
Have you caught the wind and washed away the dust? Damn it! It's too late, I don't appreciate your kindness.
You don't appreciate the favor, but you must give face. Hu Xiaotian said: "I've been tired for a day, and I'm covered in stinky sweat. So what, I'll go back to the inn first, take a shower and change clothes, and I'll be there soon."
Guo Shouguang nodded. Hu Xiaotian's request was very reasonable. He cupped his hands and said, "Then we'll meet in half an hour."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Definitely!"
Before leaving, Guo Shouguang couldn't help but look at Liu Kuohai a few more times. Hu Xiaotian was worried that he would bring bad luck to Liu Kuohai, so he took the initiative and said: "Kuohai is my cousin."
Guo Shouguang glanced at Liu Kuohai suspiciously. It was hard to believe that Hu Xiaotian was telling the truth. However, since he said this, he obviously protected Liu Kuohai. The Wan family had also taken the initiative to withdraw the complaint. Guo Shouguang was too lazy to do so.
There is no need to quarrel with the new county magistrate because of a common man.
On the way back to Fulai Inn, Hu Xiaotian and Liu Kuohai, Liu Kuohai grinned and said, "Master Hu, are you really my cousin?"
Hu Xiaotian glared at him angrily and said, "You are nineteen and I am sixteen, what do you think?"
It’s Monday again, and I know that you don’t have many monthly votes in your hands, so I would like to ask for recommendation votes. I urge you to vote for Yitong with your recommendation votes, so that Yitong can stay on the recommendation list next week.
