After the banquet was over, everyone dispersed. Zhen Fu left with Wang Jing, and now he still lives in Wang Jing's home.
Liu Yan, Liu Xiu, Deng Chen and others did not leave immediately. When other guests left one after another, Yin Shi asked his servants to close the doors and windows. He and Yin Xing bowed to Liu Yan and bowed deeply, saying: "My two brothers , I have admired the name of Brother Bo Sheng for a long time, and it is truly a blessing to meet him today!"
When outsiders were present, Yin Shi Yinxing didn't talk much to Liu Yan. Now that the outsiders were gone, they could finally sit down and talk in detail.
Liu Yan returned the favor and said, "You two gentlemen, you don't have to be polite!"
"Brother Bo Sheng, just call me Ci Bo (Jun Ling)!"
Everyone exchanged a few words and sat down again.
Deng Chen frowned and said worriedly: "Last time at the Wang family's banquet, Cibo and Junling had already lost Zhen Fu's face. This time, they have lost Zhen Fu's face again. I'm afraid he will hold a grudge. , it’s not good for the Yin family!”
Yin Xing sneered and said disapprovingly: "Others may be afraid of him, but I, the Yin family, have not taken him as the prefect seriously!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Zhen Fu is a very special person. He has both brains and power, and he is very hidden, making it difficult for people to figure out his thoughts!"
Even someone as smart as Liu Xiu had no idea in advance that Zhen Fu had murderous intentions towards Deng Feng. It was not until those people assigned by Zhen Fu killed Deng Feng that he realized that Zhen Fu had already killed Deng Feng. A heart of devotion.
This man's scheming was hidden so deeply that no one except himself could detect any clues.
Yin Xing wanted to speak, but Yin Shi waved his hand to him. He looked at Liu Xiu and asked seriously: "Uncle Wen, do you think there are any weaknesses in our Yin family that Zhen Fu can take advantage of?"
Liu Xiu fell into deep thought. The Yin family wants money, land, and people, and they are very famous and prestigious throughout the country, let alone Zhenfu, even if the court is dealing with matters related to the Yin family He had to show courtesy to everyone, but for a moment, he really couldn't think of any weaknesses or tricks in the Yin family that Zhen Fu could seize.
He thought for a while and slowly shook his head, saying that he couldn't figure it out either.
Yin Xing raised his head and smiled, saying: "Even Uncle Wen couldn't imagine that there is absolutely nothing Zhen Fu can do against my Yin family!"
Yin Shi shook his head and said: "Second brother, don't take it lightly!" As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yan and said frankly: "Brother Bo Sheng, my Yin family wants to fully support what you are doing, but this My dear, there are many things that I dare not make rashly, and I hope that Brother Bo Sheng will forgive me."
Liu Yan nodded in understanding and said, "I understand everything Ci Bo said."
"But if Brother Bo Sheng needs the help of my Yin family in terms of money, just ask, my Yin family can fully support Brother Bo Sheng in this regard!" Yin Shi said seriously.
When Liu Yan heard this, he was overjoyed. He bowed to Yin Shi and saluted, saying, "Second uncle is so generous, and Bo Sheng can't thank you enough!"
"Since we are all going to rebel, why does Brother Liu want to help the court to wipe out the Green Forest Army in Xin City and Ping Lin?" Following the words, the side door beside the hall opened, and Yin Lihua walked out of the door.
Her sudden appearance startled everyone present. Liu Yan subconsciously raised his hand and held the hilt of his sword. When he saw Yin Lihua's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be startled and secretly thought, "She has such a stunning appearance." Girl!
Yin Shi hurriedly waved his hand to Liu Yan and said, "Brother Bo Sheng, don't be surprised, this is my sister-in-law Lihua!"
Yin Lihua?! Liu Yan reacted, smiled at Yin Lihua, leaned forward and said, "It turns out to be Miss Lihua!"
Liu Xiu explained: "Zhen Fu has become suspicious of what his eldest brother did in Chongling. Zhen Fu invited his eldest brother to help him suppress the rebellion. He did this intentionally as a test. If the eldest brother refused, Zhen Fu would definitely guess that he There will be an uprising."
Yin Lihua first saluted Liu Yanfu, and then said to Liu Xiu: "Even if I have to respond, Brother Liu can still secretly help the Green Forest Army!"
Why did Zhen Fu, with only 3,000 county troops, annihilate more than 10,000 Green Forest troops in Xinshi and Pinglin?
Liu Xiu said seriously: "Lihua thinks things are too simple and too idealistic. It is not easy to secretly help the Green Forest Army. The eldest brother is surrounded by spies planted by Zhen Fu. Not to mention that it is impossible to secretly help the Green Forest Army. Even if If you don't make any effort, Zhen Fu will notice it, which will arouse Zhen Fu's vigilance and murderous intention."
Seeing that Yin Lihua was still arguing, Liu Xiu continued: "In addition, the so-called total annihilation, the so-called annihilation of more than ten thousand enemies, are all exaggerations made by Zhen Fu to ask for rewards from the imperial court. The Green Forest Army did suffer heavy losses this time. , but the core still exists. In addition, Wang Feng, one of the leaders of the New City Army, was secretly let go by the eldest brother. How can Lihua say that the eldest brother did not secretly help the Green Forest Army? "
Yin Lihua, Yin Shi, and Yin Xing did not expect these things. Yin Lihua was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What about Yuan Zhi? How did Yuan Zhi's whereabouts remain unknown? He...he really died in the sea of fire. ?"
Seeing the concern and worry on Yin Lihua's face, Liu Xiu felt sour in his heart. He pondered for a moment and whispered: "Yuan Zhi's whereabouts are not unknown, but he is hidden in Baishan!"
Seeing the Yin family brothers and sisters looking at him in surprise, Liu Xiudao said: "Wang Jing hates Yuan Zhi deeply, and Zhen Fu colludes with Wang Jing. In order to suppress the rebellion, Zhen Fu specially arranged elite men to assassinate Yuan Zhi. Fortunately, we happened to bump into him and Yuan Zhi was unharmed. However, considering that Zhen Fu had murderous intentions towards Yuan Zhi, we were worried that Yuan Zhi would cause misfortune if he continued to stay in Xinye, so we secretly arranged for him to take temporary refuge in Baishan. "
So that’s it! Yin Shi and Yin Xing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. They and Deng Feng had been playmates since childhood and had an irreversible friendship. Knowing that Deng Feng was safe and sound hiding in Baishan, the gloom in their hearts for the past few days was swept away.
When Yin Lihua learned that Deng Feng was fine, she was relieved, and her beautiful little face showed a look of joy. Seeing this, Liu Xiu felt even more bitter in her heart, lowered her head, and smiled bitterly.
They chatted for a while in the underworld. Seeing that it was getting too late, they continued to stay for fear of being suspected, so they got up and said goodbye to the Yin brothers and sisters.
When sending them off, Yin Lihua said apologetically: "Brother Liu, Lihua's tone was not good just now. I hope that Brother Liu will respect your words."
Liu Yan laughed disapprovingly and said, "Lihua, you're welcome."
Yin Lihua turned her eyes and saw Liu Xiu walking beside Liu Yan listlessly with his head lowered. She asked with a smile: "Uncle Wen is still angry with me, right?"
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, smiled at Yin Lihua and said, "How could it be possible? Miss Lihua is too worried."
Yin Lihua's face sank deliberately and she said, "Why are you calling me Miss Lihua again? Didn't you tell me before? Just call me Lihua."
After walking out of the gate of Hades, he saw the Deng family's carriage parked outside. Liu Xiu bowed his hands and said, "Second uncle, Junling, Miss Lihua, I take my leave!" After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the carriage.
Looking at Liu Xiu's back, Yin Lihua felt that Liu Xiu seemed to be very distant from her. She thought he was angry with her for questioning Liu Yan just now, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I didn't say anything just now, and I also asked Liu Xiu. Brother is being too modest, isn't Uncle Wen being too stingy?"
Listening to the little sister's muttering, Yin Shi and Yin Xing looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Liu Xiu is not that small-minded. He will not get sulky just because others complain about his elder brother. The problem can only be caused by the younger sister's concern for Yuan Zhi.
When you see a woman you like caring so much about another man, no matter who it is, you won't be in a good mood.
No matter how young and mature Liu Xiu may be, and he has scheming ideas and palaces, he is still a human being, not a god, a body of flesh and blood, with seven emotions and six desires.
When it comes to Yin Lihua's personal feelings, Yin Shi and Yin Xing cannot get involved, and they cannot force her to fall in love with someone.
On the way back to Deng's Mansion, Liu Yan felt that Liu Xiu was in a low mood. After thinking about it, he understood what was going on.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Lihua from the Yin family has beauty, talent, and family background. I like her very much after seeing her."
Seeing Liu Xiu looking up at him, Liu Yan smiled and said, "If A Xiu likes her, eldest brother can come forward and propose marriage to the Yin family!"
Liu Xiu was shaken, waved her hands hurriedly, and said: "No, no!"
"Why not?" Liu Yan said proudly: "No matter in the past, now, or in the future, my brother Liu Yan is worthy of the girl from his Yin family!"
Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and came to propose marriage? I was afraid that he would be rejected 10% of the time, so how could he meet Yin Lihua in the future? Liu Xiu shook his head repeatedly and said, "Brother, let me handle my affairs by myself."
"If you can handle it yourself, of course there is no need for me, the eldest brother, to step in!" Liu Yan said meaningfully: "Axiu, you are not young anymore. When I was your age, I had already married a wife and had children..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu cleared her throat, leaned back, rubbed her forehead and said, "I drank a little too much in the underworld just now. I have a headache. Brother, I'll take a nap first."
Liu Yan rolled his eyes at him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Then he slapped Liu Xiu hard on the thigh with a snap, which made Liu Xiu almost jump up in pain. Liu Yan said: "What are you afraid of when you propose a marriage? You can do that." If you succeed, you will fail if you fail to succeed. The world is so big that it is hard to find a three-legged toad, but there is no such thing as a two-legged woman?"
Liu Xiu said nothing and turned around, facing away from Liu Yan.
There are many girls in the world, and there are also many matchmakers who come to Liu Xiu's house to talk to him, but he just likes Yin Lihua. He doesn't want anyone except Yin Lihua. As early as a few years ago, this girl filled his heart. .
Looking at the back of Liu Xiu's head, Liu Yan stabbed him in the back of the head angrily, which amused Deng Chen and Deng Yu who were also sitting in the car.
The next day, Zhen Fu left Xinye with the county army and returned to the county town. Liu Yan did not plan to stay in Xinye longer, and planned to return to Chongling with more than 200 followers.
In fact, in the Battle of Xinshi, the casualties among his men were far less. The reason why there were only about two hundred men left was to dispel Zhen Fu's worries and deliberately show them to him. As for the other brothers, they had all been killed. Liu Yan and Liu Xiu hid and asked them to follow Deng Feng to Baishan.
Just when Liu Yan was about to take someone home, a person suddenly came to Xinye, Li Yi.
