Chapter two hundred and forty sixth sisters against the wall
A twenty-three or four-year-old woman came over and reached the bedside. She bowed her head to Liu Xiu and said in a soft voice, "Xi Cheying, the little girl, has met the general!"
Xi Cheying! She is Xi Ling's senior sister! Liu Xiu heard Xu Xiling mention that her senior sister ran a brothel in the capital.
Each of Mr. Yichen's disciples has their own expertise, like Xu Xiling, she is good at the art of changing voices, and her senior sister Xi Cheying is good at the art of elixirs.
He carefully looked at Xi Cheying. She was dressed very simply, with a light blue skirt and light blue gauze. Looking at her face, she did not wear heavy makeup, and her appearance was far less gorgeous than Xu Xiling, so dazzling and soul-stirring.
She was born dignified and beautiful, and looked like a well-educated lady, but there was also a hint of charm between her eyebrows. I guess this should be a common problem among the disciples taught by Mr. Yichen.
Although he already knew that Xi Cheying was a prostitute who ran a brothel, Liu Xiu had a very good first impression of her. He cleared his throat and said, "Did Miss Cheying save me?"
Xi Cheying smiled calmly and said: "The general is serious. Cheying just took a few health-preserving pills for the general. It's not a big deal. Even without Cheying, the general is not in danger of his life."
Xu Xiling glanced at Xi Cheying in the narration, and whispered in a low voice: "When did Senior Sister become so humble?! Senior Sister's pills are not given away easily. Even if the Senior Sisters want to get one, it is not easy."
What about."
Xi Cheying was amused by her words, and said slowly: "You girl, you are becoming more and more cunning, and your mouth is not forgiving."
It can be seen that Xu Xiling and Xi Cheying have a very good relationship. Liu Xiu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled on his face.
He knew how serious his injuries were. After only five days, his severely damaged internal organs no longer felt any pain. This must be the effect of the elixir.
He straightened up, and when he saw that he was about to sit up, Xu Xiling hurriedly held him down and comforted him: "My master's injury has not healed, and he cannot stand up now."
Liu Xiu couldn't use any strength. He lay back on the bed and said apologetically to Xi Cheying: "Fortunately, Miss Cheying helped me this time. Xiu, I'm very grateful!"
Xi Cheying smiled slightly and bowed to Liu Xiufu again.
Liu Xiu turned to look at Xu Xiling and asked, "Have all the reckless troops withdrawn?"
Xu Xiling said seriously: "At that time, my lord killed Fei Jun, leaving the reckless soldiers without a leader and their morale plummeted. Except for a few hundred people who escaped, the rest were either killed or captured."
Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What are our casualties?"
Xu Xiling lowered his head and said: "More than sixty county government officials were killed in the battle, more than ten were seriously injured, and another ten were slightly injured."
The implication is that among all the government officials, not one of them left the battlefield intact. After a pause, she added: "More than 20 of the family members of the mansion were also killed or injured."
Liu Xiu asked: "Where is Liu Quan?"
"Steward Liu suffered several skin injuries and is now fine."
Liu Xiu nodded happily and said faintly: "For the dead and injured brothers, give them a generous burial..." As he spoke, he straightened up again. It was okay not to use any force. With this force, there was no part of his body that was not painful.
.
Xu Xiling held him down again and said comfortingly: "My lord, Magistrate Liu has already made arrangements for these matters, my lord, you don't have to worry."
Liu Xiu lay on the bed and panted for a while. He felt that the pain in his body was not so bad anymore. He said again: "After I killed Fei Jun, I had no strength to fight anymore. It was Mr. Mo who saved me at that time."
Xu Xiling said: "I heard from Butler Liu, but we couldn't keep Mr. Mo." To be precise, Mo Yan left decisively and they couldn't even find him.
Liu Xiu sighed softly and said: "Young Master Mo has great ambitions and is both civil and military. He is a rare talent. Unfortunately, he has different ideas from me and it is difficult to work with him. In the end, we can't get together."
Xu Xiling's eyes flashed and he asked: "My lord, you mean that in the future... Mr. Mo may become our enemy?"
Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future!" He was silent for a moment and asked, "Where is Liu Quan now?"
Xu Xiling said: "Master, want to see Butler Liu? I will let Butler Liu in now."
Seeing Liu Xiu nodding, Xu Xiling walked out of the room quickly. Not long after, she came back from outside, and Liu Quan also followed in. At this time, Liu Quan had a bandage on his head and a sling on his arm.
He also walks with a limp.
Seeing Liu Xiu lying on the bed with a pale face and a thin face, Liu Quan's eyes turned red, he walked forward quickly, knelt on the ground with a thud, and choked up and said: "This time the young master was seriously injured, it was all because of our protection.
If you are not careful, it is all my fault..."
Liu Xiu was happy and waved his hand slightly to Liu Quan, signaling him to get up, but Liu Quan didn't see it. He put his forehead on the ground and cried bitterly. Liu Xiu said: "What does my injury have to do with you and others?"
Get up quickly!"
"Son..."
"Get up!"
Seeing Liu Quan kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up, Xu Xiling stretched out his hand to help him up from the ground. Liu Quan wiped the tears on his face and said, "Now that I see that the young master is no longer in danger, I feel relieved."
.”
Liu Xiu smiled at him and said feebly: "Anyone who participates in the war this time and has a slave status can have his or her slave status cancelled. Those who do not have a slave status can receive a thousand coins."
Liu Quan nodded repeatedly and responded: "Sir, I have taken note of this."
Liu Xiu continued: "After the slave registration is cancelled, they can decide whether to stay or leave on their own, and they must not be forced."
Liu Quan had a sore nose and choked up: "Yes! Master! Master is kind. They will definitely appreciate your kindness and will not choose to leave!"
"Also, all the family members of those who died or were injured in the war should be compensated with large sums of money, and there should be some money left in the house."
Liu Xiu remembered that there was a treasury in his house, which contained a lot of rewards given to him by his eldest brother, including gold and silver jewelry, and gold and silver utensils.
Liu Quan nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will handle it properly."
"Yeah." Liu Xiu smiled at Liu Quan again and said, "Go ahead."
"Young master, please take care of yourself!" Liu Quan bowed, saluted Liu Xiu, and then walked out of the room with three steps.
Just looking at Liu Xiu's attitude towards his servants, it is not difficult to judge his character. Xi Cheying can now understand why the junior sister, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, would follow Liu Xiu so wholeheartedly.
In today's world, there are many more powerful people than Liu Xiu. With Junior Sister's ability, no matter who she chooses to go to, she will be respected as a guest of honor, but Junior Sister chose the inconspicuous Liu Xiu, which of course makes sense.
of.
Liu Xiu is a person with an open mind, a gentle temperament, and knows how to repay his kindness. If you work for such a person, at least you don't have to worry about causing trouble to Xiao Qiang or having to worry about the future.
After Liu Quan left, Xi Cheying asked: "I heard that there is a rift between the general and the current imperial advisor?"
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and then asked: "Has Miss Cheying ever heard of the "Red Fu Fu"?"
"I've heard a little bit about it."
"There is a prophecy in "Chi Fu Fu": Liu Xiu sent troops to capture but failed, and all the barbarians gathered in Long Dou Ye. On the occasion of April 7th, fire will be the main thing."
Xi Cheying rolled his eyes, an idea flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Could it be that the reason why the Imperial Master changed his name was because of this prophecy?"
Liu Xiu said: "Whether Liu Xin changed his name because of this prophecy, I don't know. I only know that several Liu Xiu have died at the hands of Liu Xin in the world, and I, Liu Xiu, is the one he wants to eradicate."
the last one."
Xi Cheying is a smart person who can tell the truth at first glance. Now she completely understands the reason for the feud between Liu Xiu and the Imperial Master.
"Chifu Fu" is a strange book. It has long been impossible to verify whose hand it was written by. However, the prophecies in "Chifu Fu" have all come true. So this sentence: "Liu Xiu sent troops to capture but failed, and the barbarians gathered in the wild to fight."
, the prophecy that fire dominates the period of April and July will most likely come true.
No wonder the National Preceptor Hui suddenly changed his name. No wonder the Imperial Preceptor wanted to kill Liu Xiu and even used his relationship with the Yiqi Clan to get the Yiqi Clan to help.
It turns out that the secrets are all in "Chi Fu Fu".
Xi Cheying pondered for a moment and asked: "How does the general hope that Cheying can help?"
Before Liu Xiu could speak, Xu Xiling answered: "Senior sister, my lord hopes that senior sister can send her confidants to sneak into the Imperial Preceptor's residence. It is best to lurk around the Imperial Preceptor and keep track of the Imperial Preceptor's every move."
Of course, it would be great if the senior sister could personally take action. She secretly murmured something in her heart. Xu Xiling had always admired the senior sister's ability.
Xi Cheying smiled slightly and said: "I understand. The general hopes that I can sneak into the Imperial Prefect's Mansion."
Liu Xiu said: "If Miss Cheying is willing to take action personally, it would be best. If Miss Cheying is not willing, you can choose someone else."
Xi Cheying lowered his eyes, pondered for a long time, and said: "It is not easy to lurk beside the national master. I am the only one who can do it with full confidence. If I agree to the general, what will I get in the end?
"
Liu Xiu's heart moved and she asked, "What does Miss Cheying want?"
Xu Xiling on the side also looked at the senior sister intently.
Xi Cheying said with a smile: "General, don't worry, I don't want much. I only want the same thing. Whatever the general rewards Xi Ling in the future, I can reward Cheying in the same way."
In Liu Xiu's opinion, her condition was not a condition at all because it was too simple. However, after hearing this, Xu Xiling's heart boiled and she could not calm down for a long time.
What she wants is not just to be Liu Xiu's subordinate. As for fame and fortune, she doesn't take it seriously. What she really wants is to be the woman beside Liu Xiu.
Could it be that the senior sister had the same plan? She subconsciously looked at Xi Cheying, who was also looking at her happily. Although she was smiling, her bright eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
Before Xu Xiling could speak, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Okay, Miss Cheying, I promise you that no matter what kind of reward I give Xiling in the future, I will give the same share to Miss Cheying.
Whatever position and status Xi Ling obtains, Miss Cheying will be equal to Xi Ling."
His words made Xu Xiling, who was already in a state of anxiety, tremble. She subconsciously wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Xi Cheying on the other side knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Che Ying thanked the general in advance and asked the general to remember today’s promise!”
What's so difficult about this?! Liu Xiu was confused by her seriousness. He waved his hands inexplicably and said: "Miss Cheying, please get up quickly. There is no need to be so polite! Speaking of which, I should be the one thanking Miss Cheying." !”
After Xi Cheying got up, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. Liu Boji and Zhu You ran in one after the other. They came to the bed in two steps and said at the same time: "Third Brother (Lord) you're awake?"
Xu Xiling and Xi Cheying looked at each other and wisely exited the room. Once outside, Xu Xiling looked directly at Xi Cheying and asked with a gloomy face: "Sister, what do you mean?"
