Yin Lihua was attracted by the golden halo around Liu Xiu's eyes. Her eyes widened and Liu Xiu's heart beat faster.
The two of them were close at hand, and he was holding her hand, but she had no intention of breaking away. Instead, she was staring straight at him. For Liu Xiu, Yin Lihua's various performances were undoubtedly
It's a silent invitation.
His heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped into his throat. He leaned forward involuntarily and slowly approached Yin Lihua.
The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, and they can even smell each other's breath.
Just when Liu Xiu's lips were about to touch Yin Lihua's cherry lips, suddenly there was a snapping sound in the room. A clear slap mark appeared on Liu Xiu's face.
Yin Lihua's slap was completely subconscious. After the crisp sound, the two people who were almost touching their noses were stunned.
The two people's eyes met, and their cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, they leaned back in perfect agreement and said in unison: "I'm sorry!"
Yin Lihua's apology was for the subconscious slap she just gave her. Liu Xiu's apology was for almost scorning the beauty.
The two looked at each other again. After a while, Yin Lihua stood up hurriedly and said in a panic: "I...I'm going back first!" After saying that, she hurried out without waiting for Liu Xiu to answer.
Liu Xiu immediately stood up and chased out of the room, saying: "Lihua, I just..." He was only halfway through his words when he met Xu Xiling who had just treated Jia Fu and Zhu You's wounds.
Xu Xiling first looked at Yin Lihua who was hurriedly returning to her room, and then at Liu Xiu who was blushing unnaturally. She couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong?"
Liu Xiu made a sound, waved his hand and said, "It's okay." There were other people present, so he couldn't chase Yin Lihua anymore, so he smiled dryly at Xu Xiling and said, "Xiling, I'm going to rest in the room for a while."
After saying that, he turned back to the room and closed the door. He walked into the room and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
He picked up the teapot and poured two bowls of tea. Then he raised his hand to touch the cheek where he had just been slapped, and scratched his hair. Finally, he threw himself on the bed, pulled off the quilt, and
His head was covered.
Liu Xiu has never been so embarrassed in his life. Today, he feels that he has lost all his embarrassment.
He was lying on the bed pretending to be an ostrich, and he didn't know how long it had passed before a gentle knock on the door came from outside.
Liu Xiu lifted the quilt, turned around and asked, "Who?"
"Uncle Wen, it's me!" Yin Lihua's voice came from outside the door.
Liu Xiu stood up from the bed with a flutter, looked down at herself, hurriedly picked up her underwear, put it on her body and said hurriedly: "Lihua, wait for me a moment, I will open the door right away."
After saying this, he put on his underwear, walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door gently. Looking at Yin Lihua standing outside the door, he cleared his throat and was about to speak.
, Yin Lihua said first: "Uncle Wen, Xueying and Hongjian went out to buy food. They have been gone for more than half an hour and they haven't come back yet. Will there be an accident?"
"Who?" Liu Xiu looked confused when he heard this. He had no idea who Xueying and Hongjian were.
Yin Lihua explained: "They are my two personal maids."
After she said this, Liu Xiucai vaguely remembered that there seemed to be two young, pure and beautiful girls beside Yin Lihua. Their names seemed to be Xueying and Hongjian. He asked: "She
How long have you two been there?"
"It's been more than half an hour. Logically speaking, Xueying and Hongjian should have come back long ago!" Yin Lihua's eyebrows showed an anxious look.
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Lihua, don't worry, I'll send someone to find her right now!" As he spoke, he waved to Long Yuan who was standing at the end of the corridor.
Long Yuan stepped forward quickly, bowed and said: "Lord!"
Liu Xiu said: "Long Yuan, take Long Zhun and Long Bu outside to look for Xueying and Hongjian. They have been gone for more than half an hour. They just went to buy food. They shouldn't have been back for so long!
"
Long Yuan responded, turned around and left quickly.
After Long Yuan left, Liu Xiu turned sideways and said, "Lihua, come in and sit down!"
After hearing Liu Xiu's invitation, Yin Lihua was obviously hesitant. What happened just now has not completely calmed her down until now.
She looked at Liu Xiu carefully, her timid little eyes were both seductive and made Liu Xiu feel like a heinous bully.
He raised his finger and said, "I swear to God that I will never do anything frivolous again!"
Yin Lihua's face turned redder, but she still walked into Liu Xiu's room. Seeing this, Liu Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lihua was no longer angry with herself...
The two of them sat down one after another in the room, separated by a small wooden table.
Liu Xiu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Yin Lihua. Seeing her frowning, he comforted and said, "Don't worry, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bu will look for her, and we will definitely find her whereabouts."
Yin Lihua's brows did not relax, and she said worriedly: "Xueying and Hongjian are not playful people. I'm worried about them..." She did not say the next words, and she already had a vague premonition in her heart.
Liu Xiu smiled disapprovingly and said: "Xiao Chang'an has always been prosperous. In broad daylight, there are still bad people who appear and commit crimes in public. What's more, there are so many Han soldiers gathered in Xiao Chang'an. Even if there are really bad people here."
, and was too scared to show his head.”
What he said was quite reasonable and made Yin Lihua's nervous mood somewhat calmer.
Xueying and Hongjian are not the maids of the Yin family, but the maids of the Li family. In the past six months, it is precisely because Xueying and Hongjian have been by her side that they have added a lot of fun to the boring life.
.
After half a year of getting along, Yin Lihua had developed deep feelings for Xueying and Hongjian. This time when she returned to Xinye, she specifically proposed to take them with her.
The two of them waited in the room for two-quarters of an hour when the sound of soft and quick footsteps rustled in the corridor outside.
"Lord!" Long Yuan's voice sounded outside the door.
"come in!"
As the door opened, Long Yuan walked in from the outside. Seeing that he came back alone, and that Xueying and Hongjian did not follow Long Yuan, Yin Lihua stood up involuntarily and looked at Long Yuan eagerly.
.
Liu Xiu asked: "Have you found out the whereabouts of Xueying and Hongjian?"
Long Yuan glanced at Yin Lihua, then bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "My lord, a shop assistant on the street has seen Xueying and Hongjian."
"Where are she two now?"
"According to an informed friend, Xueying and Hongjian were kidnapped by a Han general and several Han soldiers." Long Yuan said seriously.
When Yin Lihua heard this, she subconsciously exclaimed. Liu Xiu also stood up from his seat and asked, "Which Han general is he?"
"I don't know my friend. Long Zhun and Long Bo have already gone to inquire about it. I believe that the exact information will be found out soon!"
Liu Xiu's face darkened. Yin Lihua turned to look at him and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Wen!"
"Don't panic yet, I will handle this matter myself." Liu Xiu waved his hand to Yin Lihua, and his already gloomy face became a bit colder.
Not long after this time, Long Zhun returned to the inn.
After seeing Liu Xiu, he bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "My lord, my subordinates have found out that the general of the Han army who kidnapped Xueying and Hongjian is named Zhang Zi. He is Zhang Xun's younger brother. He is now in the army."
He was appointed as a partial general."
"What does Zhang Zi want?" Yin Lihua couldn't help but ask.
Long Zhun looked at Yin Lihua and said: "Xueying and Hongjian happened to meet Zhang Zi and his party on the way back to the inn. After that, they were forcibly robbed into a private house by Zhang Zi and his party."
He did not directly answer Yin Lihua's question, but the meaning was obvious. A group of rough men from the green forest had kidnapped two beautiful little girls, what else could they do?
When Liu Xiu heard this, he became furious and kicked the small wooden table next to him away, hitting the wall with a loud bang.
They had just suffered a defeat in Wancheng, and were frightened like a lost dog by Cen Peng. Now they have gone to Xiaochang'an to gather together, and they are all capable of robbing civilian girls in broad daylight. Not to mention that this happened to Yin Lihua, even with Yin Lihua.
Lihua had nothing to do with it, but it was enough to make Liu Xiu furious.
He picked up his robe and looked down. It was already in tatters and could not be worn out. He said to Long Yuan: "Find me a robe!"
Long Yuan agreed, turned around and went out. After a short time, he took a clean robe and handed it to Liu Xiu. The latter put on the robe, grabbed the Red Sky Sword, and strode out in a hurry.
When he left the room, he saw Yin Lihua also coming out. He said, "Lihua, just wait for the news in the inn."
While talking, he saw Xu Ying, Xu Fei, and Xu Ting also came. He said: "You stay in the inn and protect Lihua."
Liu Xiu went downstairs and as soon as he walked out of the inn, Jia Fu and Zhu You chased him out. They had already heard the news about Xueying and Hongjian's robbery. Zhu You was not afraid of big things, so he rolled up his arms and sleeves.
He looked like he was going to fight.
Jia Fu frowned and asked, "How do you plan to handle this matter, my lord?"
Liu Xiu said expressionlessly: "Dispose according to military law."
Jia Fu took a breath and said, "Although Zhang Zi is mediocre in ability, he is Zhang Xun's younger brother after all."
Liu Xiu said word by word: "Even if he is the Jade Emperor's clan brother, I will never forgive him lightly."
Liu Xiu has always attached great importance to military regulations and discipline. In the past, Liu Xiu never showed any mercy when his family members touched this bottom line, let alone Zhang Zi?
Under the guidance of Long Zhun, Liu Xiu and others walked to the entrance of a small alley. Standing at the entrance of the alley was Long Bo. Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Long Bo quickly stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "My lord, Zhang Zi
Wait for someone inside!"
Without saying anything, Liu Xiu walked into the small alley. When he reached the middle of the alley, he heard the sound of laughter coming from a courtyard at the end.
He walked to the courtyard gate, stood still, looked back at Long Bu, and saw the latter nodded, indicating that this courtyard was the right one, Liu Xiu kicked the courtyard door.
With a bang, the courtyard door opened, and Liu Xiu and others walked into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, there were several tall and thick men sitting. None of them were wearing helmets. Some were wearing leather armor, and some were without armor. They were all sitting on the ground. On the ground in the middle were wine pots, beef, and roast chicken.
Steamed buns are waiting to be eaten and drank.
Seeing Liu Xiu and his party suddenly barging in, a big man picked up the spear beside him.
He pointed the spearhead at Liu Xiu, his tongue straightened, and he asked incoherently: "Who the hell are you? Are you so bold that you dare to break into our territory and run wild?"
