After Jiuer sat down, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and stroked his chest. If he really fell from such a high courtyard wall, even if he didn't get hurt, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
After a moment, she calmed down, glared at Liu Xiu angrily, and said, "Why did you come up all of a sudden? You didn't say hello in advance?"
"I'll learn from you!" Liu Xiu said cheerfully. In front of familiar people, Liu Xiu has never been a serious person. He is very different from his usual person and loves to joke.
Jiu'er rolled her eyes at him again and remained silent for a while. She pretended to be dissatisfied and asked, "Does what you asked me to consider last time still count?"
Liu Xiu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course it counts! People cannot stand without faith, industries cannot prosper without faith, and countries will decline without faith!"
Jiu'er and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a long time. She nodded and said, "Just keep in mind. I've thought about it clearly. My companions and I are willing to follow you, but let's talk about the ugly things first. We don't want to enter Baishan Mountain."
Do hard work!"
She spoke so lightly that Liu Xiuke broke into a cold sweat.
You must know that every time they enter and leave Baishan, they are very careful, must be very alert, and make 100% sure that no one is following them. But Jiuer actually knows everything they are doing in Baishan. This is terrible.
He looked at Jiu'er intently and asked, "Do you know what we are doing in Baishan?"
Jiuer said: "Chopping wood and building houses, who knows what you want to do when you go to the deep mountains and old forests to do these things. Anyway, you must be plotting something secretly."
Liu Xiu lowered his head, gently touched the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and said quietly: "You are quite capable, you can even find out these things."
"You are attracted to us, isn't it precisely because of our ability?!" As he spoke, Jiu'er glanced at the Chixiao Sword in Liu Xiu's hand casually, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a wide arc, as if he was saying something.
Demonstrate to Liu Xiu, don’t scare me with your sword, I’m not afraid of you at all!
Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, and suddenly he leaned in front of Jiu'er. The distance between the two was so close that the tips of their noses were almost touching.
He said: "What if I said that what we are doing now is to prepare for future rebellion?"
Jiu'er's face suddenly changed, her eyes widened, and she looked at Liu Xiu in disbelief. I don't know how long it took before her wide eyes slowly narrowed, and she asked: "Seriously?"
Liu Xiu retracted his forward posture, looking at her but smiling without saying a word.
Jiu'er lowered her head and fell into deep thought. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and said, "We are willing to follow you!"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Only those who have something are afraid of losing it. We have never owned anything, so what should we be afraid of?!" Jiuer said with a deep look.
As the saying goes, people are not afraid of death, but how can they be afraid of death? Jiu'er and her companions around her have nothing. They have suffered humiliation while living, suffering from the harshness of the world and the warmth of human relationships. They really have nothing to fear.
Liu Xiu met Jiu'er's firm gaze and asked, "Don't you regret it?"
"I will never regret it!" Jiuer said word for word.
Liu Xiu nodded. Suddenly, he drew out the Chixiao Sword and waved his arm to the side. There was a crisp click in his ear, and an arm-thick branch next to him broke.
With the sound of sand, the broken branch had not yet fallen from the air, and the sword in his hand had been retracted into the scabbard. He said sternly: "You surrender to me, if I betray you, I swear to this branch!"
His sharp sword shocked Jiu'er, and his words shocked Jiu'er even more. Ever since she became sensible, she has never been treated so equally.
She was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, her eyes felt wet and hot for no reason. Jiuer sniffed, suddenly tore off a section of her sleeve, and said: "If I betray you, I will do this!"
Although Jiu'er is a girl with a humble background, just a beggar and a thief, she is cheerful, arrogant, sensitive and intelligent that ordinary people don't have. And once such a person is conquered, they will often show extraordinary abilities that are far beyond ordinary people.
loyalty.
Liu Xiu was very happy to be able to subdue people like Jiu'er and said in a brisk tone: "Find your friends another day and I will meet them, or you can arrange a place and I can go meet them!"
Jiu'er nodded indifferently, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, Liu Xiu, there is something else I forgot to tell you..."
She suddenly paused, looked at Liu Xiu eagerly, and asked cautiously: "What should I call you in the future? Lord? Lord Ming?"
Liu Xiu was happy, waved his hand and said, "Anything is fine. If you like, you can continue to call me Liu Xiu!"
Regarding the title, Liu Xiu has never cared much about it. In the depths of people's hearts, whether you have a place or not will not change based on how they call you.
To put it bluntly, Liu Xiu values lizi, never face. His temperament and mentality also make the future destinies of Liu Xiu and his eldest brother Liu Yan completely different.
"Then...I'll call you my lord."
Liu Xiu shrugged indifferently and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what else do you want?"
"Deng Zijun was kidnapped by a group of people!"
Liu Xiu was shocked when he heard this and asked subconsciously: "When?"
"Just now," Jiu'er said, "Deng Zijun left Deng Mansion and was caught by a group of masked men on her way home!"
Liu Xiu blinked, took a breath, and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
I'm really going to be pissed off by you! Liu Xiu took Jiu'er's arm and said urgently: "Come down!" As he spoke, he pulled Jiu'er and jumped off the wall. Jiu'er screamed out in fright.
, instinctively closed his eyes.
However, her body did not feel the pain of falling to the ground. She carefully opened her eyes and saw that Liu Xiu had picked her up when he jumped off the wall and did not let her fall to the ground.
Lying in Liu Xiu's arms, Jiu'er suddenly felt a sense of security that she had never felt before. She was stunned for a moment, came to her senses, and said with a blushing face: "Let me down quickly, I can walk by myself!"
Liu Xiu put Jiu'er down and asked, "Can you recognize who the other party is?"
Jiuer shook his head and said, "Those people all have their faces covered!"
"Do you know where they kidnapped Deng Zijun?"
Jiuer still shook his head and said: "They are all riding horses. We can't catch up with them at all. We only know that they ran towards the north of the city!"
Liu Xiu squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "If I remember correctly, the Wang family has a village outside Beicheng!"
Jiuer corrected: "There are two."
Liu Xiu nodded, pulled Jiu'er and hurried all the way to the hall in the front yard. Before he entered, he happened to see the housekeeper of the Deng Mansion passing by. He said, "Uncle Deng, please send Zhonghua, Ziling and the others immediately."
Come here, I'll wait for them here in the lobby."
"Ah? Oh...oh, okay!" When the housekeeper saw Jiu'er, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Liu Xiu and walked away quickly.
Jiuer asked: "Do you suspect that the person who kidnapped Deng Zijun was Wang Jing's subordinate?"
Liu Xiu asked back: "Otherwise, would there be others?" It was Deng Feng who injured Wang Jin, and it was Deng Feng who cut off Wang Jin's hand. It would be strange if Wang Jing didn't hate Deng Feng to the core.
However, it is almost impossible to deal with Deng Feng in the city. Firstly, Deng Feng himself is very strong. Ten or eight strong men cannot get close to him. Secondly, the Deng family is not a small family. He had his own servants and guardians, and knew many big households in the city. If something happened to Deng Fengyi, someone would soon come over to reinforce him.
If Wang Jing wants to attack Deng Feng, the most ideal plan is to transfer him out of Xinye City. As long as Deng Feng is not in the city and loses foreign aid, it will be at the discretion of the Wang family.
And if you want to transfer Deng Feng out of Xinye City, it would be perfect to use his sister Deng Zijun as a threat.
This was an instant analysis that occurred in Liu Xiu's mind. If he were to put himself in Wang Jing's shoes, he would do the same thing.
Not long after, the housekeeper called for Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Zhu You, Gai Yan and Long Yuan. He looked at Liu Xiu worriedly and asked: "Master Liu, has something happened? Do you want me?" Get the master back!"
Deng Chen is not in the house now. After dinner, he went out to prepare supplies again.
Liu Xiu waved his hand to the housekeeper and said with a smile: "Uncle Deng, you have nothing to do here, go and do your work."
"Okay, okay." The housekeeper agreed twice and walked away.
After the housekeeper left, Zhu You looked at Jiu'er beside Liu Xiu, smiled and said, "You are here after all."
Jiuer rolled her eyes at him, turned her head away, and ignored him at all.
Zhu You was asking for trouble, but he was not angry. He asked, "What's your name? Just Jiu'er? It doesn't matter if you don't have a name. At least you have to have a surname. How about you take my surname of Zhu?"
Jiu'er still didn't look at him.
Deng Yu saw Liu Xiu's serious expression and asked, "My lord, what happened?"
Liu Xiu said: "Jiu'er saw that Zijun was kidnapped by a group of masked men after leaving Deng's house."
"Ah?" Everyone present was shocked.
Liu Xiu said: "I suspect that this matter was done by the Wang family. Their target is probably not Zijun, but Yuanzhi. They plan to use Zijun to lure Yuanzhi out of Xinye City!"
Deng Yu and Yan Guang nodded in unison, both thinking Liu Xiu's analysis was reasonable.
Long Yuan rolled his eyes and said: "If this is the case, Deng Zijun should not be in danger at the moment, and the Wang family will keep her alive to lure Deng Feng out of the city!"
Liu Xiu frowned and said, "What I'm worried about is that if Zi Jun falls into the hands of the Wang family, even if he is not killed, he will still be punished."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions became solemn again. A yellow flower girl, especially a beautiful yellow flower girl, fell into the hands of people like Wang Jing and Wang Jin, and there was no telling what kind of humiliation she would suffer. .
Liu Xiu cleared her throat and said: "The masked man who kidnapped Zijun ran to the north, and the Wang family happened to have two villages outside Beicheng. I suspect that the masked man planned to hide Zijun outside Beicheng. In the village."
After a pause, he said sternly: "We can't just sit idly by and watch this matter, whether it's public or private, we have to rescue Zi Jun!"
