Yin Lihua looked for the sound, and at some point, a charming woman was standing in front of the wooden platform, saluting her body.
Charming! This was Yin Lihua's intuitive feeling after seeing Xu Xiling. Xu Xiling was not the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, but she was definitely the most charming woman she had ever seen.
Her charm is not based on dressing up, but comes from her bones. Her every move and gesture has an irresistible attraction to people.
She asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
Liu Xiu introduced: "Lihua, this is Xu Xiling."
Xu Xiling added: "Xiling is the lord's subordinate."
Yin Lihua snorted and glanced twice at Liu Xiu and Xu Xiling. Especially when she looked at Xu Xiling, she always felt that she had a vague feeling of rejection towards her.
As they were talking, footsteps came from the door of the courtyard, and then, Zhu You walked in from the outside. Zhu You naturally knew Yin Lihua, not to mention how familiar he was, but he had met her several times before.
He walked up quickly, grinned widely and said, "Miss Lihua, long time no see."
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu dissatisfied and said, "My lord, why didn't you say anything when you came to Miss Lihua? We are looking for you!"
Liu Xiu smiled helplessly and asked casually: "What do you want from me?"
"Everyone wants to check with you. When will we leave?" Zhu You walked up to the wooden platform and saw a lot of snacks and snacks placed on it. His eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and exclaimed. : "Lord, it turns out you secretly brought so many delicious foods! Why didn't I see it?"
Liu Xiu rolled his eyes and muttered: "Let you see, these food can't be saved by now."
Zhu You grinned and smiled sheepishly, and subconsciously retracted the hand he just extended.
Yin Lihua was amused by his appearance and giggled, and said: "If Mr. Zhong wants to eat, just eat!"
"Isn't this... not good?!" As he said this, Zhu You didn't do this with his hands. He picked up a piece of thousand-feuille cake, slapped it, and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't even chew it a few times. Then he swallowed it into his stomach with a gurgle.
"Yeah! It tastes really good! Why don't I remember that there is a shop selling such delicious cakes in Jiyang?!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed another piece of mung bean cake. With a snap, it was whole again. Put it in your mouth.
The mung bean cake melted in his mouth, and he ate it faster this time. He smacked his lips, and then he happily touched the third piece, without even seeing the knife thrown by Liu Xiu.
Judging from the way Zhu You opened his cheeks, it won't be long before all these pastries and snacks will go into his stomach alone.
Liu Xiu said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you eat less. I don't want someone to roll around me in the future."
Although Zhu You's figure could not be said to be slim in the past, it could at least be considered strong.
But since he followed Liu Xiu, his diet was not very good, he often traveled here and there, and often fought in front of the two armies. As a result, instead of getting stronger, his figure continued to develop horizontally.
Zhu You took the third piece of pastry and put it to his mouth. After hearing Liu Xiu's words, he couldn't eat this piece of pastry or put it back. His face was full of embarrassment.
Yin Lihua was just chuckling at first, but as soon as Liu Xiu finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing. She couldn't even remember how long it had been since she lived in the Li family's village.
This was the first time Liu Xiu saw Yin Lihua laughing so loudly without caring about her image as a lady, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
While Liu Xiu wasn't paying attention to him, Zhu You quickly stuffed the cake in his hand into his mouth and said in an indistinct voice: "My lord, Miss Lihua, I'm going back to the front yard first." After saying that, he ran out in a hurry. Yin Lihua's courtyard.
Liu Xiu came to his senses and said to Yin Lihua: "Lihua, you should also eat more."
Yin Lihua couldn't eat any more after eating two pieces of pastry, so she asked her personal maid to put the pastries away. She said to Liu Xiu: "Uncle Wen, thank you."
Liu Xiu shrugged and said lightly: "Nothing, just a little effort." After a pause, he said: "Let's go to the front yard!"
"Okay." Yin Lihua agreed in a brisk tone. Perhaps knowing that she could go home soon, Yin Lihua also became excited, and her little face was filled with joy.
When we arrived at the front yard, Jia Fu, Zhu You, Li Tong and others were all there. Among them, Jia Fu, Xu Ying, Xu Fei and Xu Ting saw Yin Lihua for the first time.
Seeing Yin Lihua's appearance, several people secretly sighed in their hearts: Yin Lihua is indeed well-deserved! It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. I think her concubines, Xi Shi, and Zhao Feiyan were just like that. !
Everyone sat down, and Jia Fu was the first to speak: "General, it's already late today. We can wait until early tomorrow morning before setting off."
Li Tong suddenly said: "My lord, there is still some money buried in Zhuangzi. After leaving this time, I don't know when I will come back. I plan to dig out the money and take it with me."
Liu Xiu asked curiously: "There are many dimensions?"
"Uh..." Li Tong did not speak immediately. He did not intend to let people from the Green Forest Department know about the money hidden by the Li family, and Jia Fu was from a serious Green Forest family.
As soon as he hesitated, Liu Xiu understood what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Diyuan, it doesn't matter."
After hearing what Liu Xiu said, Li Tong no longer hesitated and said: "At the beginning, half of the money of my Li family was in the city, and the other half was hidden in Zhuangzi outside the city. Very few people knew about this, even though He's a cousin, but he doesn't know."
After Liu Xiu heard this, he was secretly surprised. At that time, the Li family only had half of the money in the city?
You must know that the Li family is the richest man in Nanyang. It is not an exaggeration to describe the family as rich.
When the Li family fled Wancheng, there were nearly a hundred horse-drawn carriages loaded with money and grain. Even if grain and other items were excluded, the money alone still contained one to twenty horse-drawn carriages.
It's a pity that when leaving the city, the county government discovered that with so many carts of money and food, not even a single car could be taken out of Wancheng, and they were all intercepted by the county government.
Liu Xiu made some calculations in his mind. If all the money was dug out, it would be a big project. With the few people he had now, it might not be enough.
He murmured: "If I had known this, we should have brought more carriages with us when we traveled."
Li Tong has also thought about this problem. There are only a few of them coming to Wancheng to pick up Yin Lihua. If they bring more than a dozen carriages, they will definitely arouse suspicion on the other side of Green Forest.
With the greed of the Green Forest family, if they knew that they had such a huge sum of money, they would definitely try their best to take it for themselves, causing a lot of right and wrong.
"Jiyuan, what are your plans?"
"You can take as much as you can. If you can't take it away, just keep hiding it in the village."
Zhu You rolled his eyes and said, "Perhaps we can wait until Zhang Xun arrives in Wancheng and borrow some troops from him to help transport him."
Li Tong laughed out loud, glanced at Jia Fu, and said: "What I'm afraid of is that if I ask Zhang Xuan to help transport it, it will end up being transported to the big camp of the Green Forest Series!"
Hearing this, Jia Fu frowned slightly. Jia Fu respected his immediate boss Wang Chang very much, and Wang Chang's conduct also made Jia Fu admire him very much.
However, Wang Chang is not the only leader of the Green Forest Department. There are also Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Chen Mu, Liao Zhan, Cheng Dan and others. In his heart, Jia Fu also looks down on Wang Kuang and Wang Feng. , each one is more selfish and greedy than the other, and full of calculations.
If Wang Chang hadn't been in the Green Forest Army, Jia Fu would have gone elsewhere long ago.
Liu Xiu thought deeply for a moment and said, "Let's do it according to Jiyuan's wishes first!"
He also disapproved of borrowing people from Zhang Xuan to transport the money. At present, the Han army was still in chaos and there was no recognized leader.
The Liu family members and even the Zhutian Clan naturally support Liu Yan's leadership, but the Green Forest Clan is quite critical and has loud opposition, especially people like Wang Kuang, Chen Mu, and Cheng Dan. of opposition.
But if we let them come out and make the decision, they don't have the ability.
After all, this is the Han army, under the banner of the orthodox Han Dynasty, the Liu family does not make the decision, and let a person with a foreign surname come out to make the decision. How is this possible? It cannot convince the public both internally and externally.
In short, there are currently serious differences and no unified opinions within the Han army as to who should be the leader. Therefore, Liu Xiu does not think that now is a good time to bring the Li family's money back to the Han army.
Because if you take it back, you really don’t know whose pocket it will fall into in the end.
He thought for a while and then added: "Even if the money can be taken away, it is best to send it to the Xinye Yin family first and let the Yin family keep it for safekeeping. It will not be too late to get it back when the situation stabilizes."
Li Tong and others nodded in agreement.
In the evening, Li Tong came to Liu Xiu's room.
When he pushed the door open and went in, he found that Jia Fu was also there. Li Tong almost wanted to turn around and leave. Liu Xiu stopped him and asked with a smile: "Ci Yuan, why did you come to see me?"
"No... nothing happened." Li Tong hesitated.
Liu Xiu was happy and said: "Jun Wen is not an outsider, and he is an upright man. Jun Wen will not do such villainous behavior as slander."
His words were said in an understatement, but when Jia Fu heard it, his heart was filled with excitement. He was from the Green Forest Department, but Liu Xiu could trust him so much, and even understand him so well. He was deeply moved.
Among the Green Forest Army, he really couldn't find anyone who was perfect and worthy of his sincere support.
Even Wang Chang, whom he respected the most, only respected Wang Chang as a person. As for Wang Chang's ability, Jia Fu really disagreed.
After Lulin and Zhutian merged and were collectively called the Han Army, Jia Fu also observed Liu Yan carefully for a period of time.
I feel that Liu Yan is arrogant, self-willed, and nepotistic from the very core. He is more than capable of being a hero. If he really expected him to achieve great things, Jia Fu would not dare to agree.
If there is an outlier among the Han army, then this outlier is Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu was a member of the Han clan, but he did not have the arrogance of the Han clan members. He was approachable, gentle and elegant. He was obviously a farmer, but he also went to Imperial College, read poetry and books, and had a lot of experience.
Also, Liu Xiu and he both gave up literature and turned to martial arts, and they had many common topics and feelings. It was too late to meet each other when they talked about it.
After Liu Xiu finished speaking, Jia Fu had a lot of thoughts, and in a very short time, he made an important decision that changed his life.
He suddenly knelt down on one knee, saluted Liu Xiu, and said loudly: "Jia Fu, my subordinate, is willing to serve under the lord's command and serve the lord as a dog and horse!"
