After a while, Liu Yan said: "Among the Han armies, the ones with real combat effectiveness are our Zhutian Army and Wang Chang's Xiajiang Army. As long as these two armies are firmly under control, no matter how bold the Green Forest Department is, , it can’t reach the sky!”
After hearing Liu Yan's words, Liu Xiu and Liu Ji nodded thoughtfully.
It can be said that at this time, brothers Liu Yan and Liu Xiu still lacked experience in political struggle. In fact, there are many things that do not necessarily have to be solved by force.
Liu Yan and Liu Ji sat with Liu Xiu for a while, then got up and left. Not long after they saw them off, another servant came to report that Liu Xuan asked to see them.
Liu Xiu and Liu Xuan had known each other since they were children. They were both clan relatives and childhood sweethearts. However, Liu Xuan ran away later and the two had not seen each other for many years, so their relationship became quite estranged.
Inviting Liu Xuan in, the latter looked around curiously and couldn't help but sigh: "Axiu, your house is really nice, big and beautiful. I don't even have a house now, and I still live in a military camp. !”
Liu Xiu was happy and said: "What's so difficult about this? Ah Xuan, just go and tell Big Brother, and Big Brother will naturally make arrangements for you."
If I don't tell him, will my eldest brother not make arrangements for me? Liu Xuan muttered in the ground.
He smiled and did not say more about the matter. He changed the topic and asked: "Axiu, I heard General Wang Feng said that when the county army attacked Xinshi and Pinglin, you were in Xinshi and happened to rescue him. General Wang Feng!"
When Liu Xiu heard this, his heart moved. He nodded calmly and said, "It is indeed true."
Liu Xuan smiled and sighed: "I was also in Xinshi City at that time, did Axiu know?"
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu intently. The latter was startled, stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Axuan is also in Xinshi? I never knew about this!"
Liu Xiu was lying with his eyes open. He did see Liu Xuan in Xinshi at that time, and he also saw Liu Xuan following the Green Forest Army. However, he did not mention this matter to the Liu clan. .
Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a moment, but nothing could be seen on his face or in his eyes. Liu Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "Back then, after I escaped from Chongling, I lived in Xinshi , we also got married in Xinshi. Later, the Green Forest started an uprising in the New City, so I naturally joined the Green Forest Army. Along the way, I also experienced many hardships and narrow escapes!"
These words he said were tantamount to insinuating that he was also a veteran of the Green Forest Army. The reason why he became the Gengshi General was not due to other factors, but to his own true strength.
The deeper meaning is that I am very capable and you cannot underestimate me!
Liu Xiu didn't tell the truth, and Liu Xuan was even more nonsense. Liu Xiu smiled, patted Liu Xuan's arm and said, "Ah Xuan is suffering outside."
At this time, Liu Xuan didn't know that the top brass of the Green Forest Army had already set their sights on him, trying to push him to the throne. He came to Liu Xiu purely to increase his presence, but also to get acquainted with each other. Strange feelings.
Liu Xuan knew very well that if he wanted to live a good life in the future, he would not only have to have a good relationship with the Green Forest Army, but also have a good relationship with Liu Yan and Liu Xiu brothers.
Only by being able to balance both sides can he wear the hat of a reforming general firmly.
Liu Xiu was well aware of his little thoughts, but he didn't point it out. He said cheerfully: "Axuan, if you feel uncomfortable staying in the green forest, come back to Big Brother. Here, everyone We are all clan members, so we can take care of each other."
Liu Xuan shook his head subconsciously. Seeing Liu Xiu looking at him inexplicably, he said seriously: "Now there are many conflicts between the Zhutian Sect and the Green Forest Sect. I am on the Green Forest side and can understand the situation of the Green Forest Sect better. I really found out If anything happens, you can inform Big Brother as soon as possible. I feel that my role in Green Forest is greater than that here."
He spoke grandly, but in fact, what he was thinking in his heart was that he could only have the title of General Gengshi and the title of general only in the green forest. If he returned to Liu Yan, let alone the title of general, he would probably He can't even qualify as a partial general or a school captain.
Now Liu Xuan gives Liu Xiu the feeling that he is slippery and weak, and almost every word he says is true. It would be better for such a person to stay with Green Forest, and it would be easier for him to worry about it.
While the two of them were talking, a little maid came over.
When Liu Xiu approached, the little maid bowed and said respectfully: "General!"
Seeing this little maid, Liu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly said: What a beautiful little girl! He looked at the little maid and then at Liu Xiu, filled with envy in his heart.
Like Liu Xiu, he had the title of general, but Liu Xiu could live in a house in the city, accompanied by such a beautiful maid, but he could only live in a military camp, with no servants around him, let alone Such a beautiful maid, why?
Liu Xiu asked: "Red note, what's the matter?"
This little maid was Hong Jian. She said timidly: "My lady has made some plum soup and asked the general to taste it."
Miss? Liu Xuan looked confused at first, and then he showed a look of realization. Yes, Liu Xiu went to Wancheng this time not to help Zhang Xun fight, but to go to Wancheng to pick up the people who were hiding there. Yin Lihua.
Yin Lihua is quite famous and famous for her beauty. Naturally, Liu Xuan has heard about it for a long time, and he is also very curious about Yin Lihua.
Seeing Liu Xiu's hesitation, Liu Xuan said with a smile: "When you are an official, you are the king, and when you get a wife, you are Yin Lihua. Now Axiu finally got what she wanted! Haha!"
When Liu Xiu went to Taixue, Liu Xuan had not yet run away, and he often used Liu Xiu's words to make fun of him.
After listening to his words, Liu Xiu was also happy, and suddenly felt like he was back to the time when he was young and frivolous.
There were guests present, and he really couldn't go to Yin Lihua's place. Just when he was about to refuse, Liu Xuan stood up, took his arm and said, "Let's go, Axiu, I also want to see what this younger brother and sister of mine looks like." , can make Axiu fall in love at first sight and not forget it for many years.”
Liu Xiu's face turned red and she said, "Axuan must be careful, Lihua and I are not..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xuan laughed, pulled him and said: "Let's go, let's go! I understand, I understand!"
Liu Xiu was pulled by Liu Xuan to the backyard.
Entering Yin Lihua's room, Liu Xiu and Liu Xuan immediately smelled the aroma of plums. Liu Xuan couldn't help but exclaimed: "It smells so good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman came out of the back room. Liu Xuan looked up and was stunned for a moment.
The person who walked out of the back room was none other than Yin Lihua. She was only fifteen or six years old, and although she was still immature and green, she was already as beautiful as a woman.
Her skin is better than snow, her aura is like orchid, her eyes are like water, and her green hair is like a waterfall. She is both beautiful and noble. In front of her, people naturally feel ashamed and dare not blaspheme.
Liu Xuan looked at Yin Lihua blankly. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart. It turned out that Yin Lihua was just like the rumors. No, she was even more beautiful than the description in the rumors. She was even more graceful and unparalleled. The country
Colorful and fragrant.
Yin Lihua didn't expect that Liu Xiu would bring a stranger, and this person was so rude and stared at her intently, which made Yin Lihua feel very uncomfortable.
She whispered: "Uncle Wen!" Then, she turned her eyes and asked: "I wonder who this is..."
Seeing Liu Xuan looking at Yin Lihua, he almost drooled. Not to mention that Yin Lihua felt uncomfortable, Liu Xiu felt even more uncomfortable. He coughed and said: "This is Liu Xuan and Liu Shenggong, my clan
Brother!"
Liu Xuan finally came to his senses when he felt someone calling his name.
He first looked at Liu Xiu and then at Yin Lihua. When he saw that both of them were looking at him, he reacted, bowed his hand to Yin Lihua and said, "Liu Xuan, I have met Miss Yin!"
Yin Lihua bowed politely and said, "Mr. Liu."
Liu Xuan subconsciously wanted to reach out to help each other, but he stretched out his hand before he realized something was wrong. He quickly took it back, laughed twice, and said: "I have heard about Miss Yin's name for a long time, and I can meet you today. She is really famous... Sansheng is lucky.
ah!"
Yin Lihua's first impression of Liu Xuan was not good. In the past, even if someone was amazed by her appearance, they would just take one look and then look away. There were very few people who stared at her fiercely like Liu Xuan.
She turned sideways and said, "Uncle Wen, Mr. Liu, please come inside."
"Lihua please." Liu Xiu waved her hand and walked into the room with Liu Xuan.
In the front of the room is a small hall, with a room on each side of the hall. The room on the right is Yin Lihua's bedroom, and the room on the left is the maid's bedroom.
The three of them sat down at the square table in the center of the small hall. A maid brought over a cup of plum soup and three small bowls, each holding a bowl of soup, and placed them in front of the three of them.
Liu Xiuxiao asked: "I heard from Hong Jian that this was cooked by Lihua herself?"
Yin Lihua smiled, smiling gracefully, looking at Liu Xiu with her beautiful eyes expectantly, and asked: "What? Uncle Wen doesn't believe that I did it?"
Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, I'm just a little surprised."
It is really surprising that the eldest lady of the Yin family can cook by herself.
While they were talking, Liu Xuan beside him squeaked and drank a whole bowl of plum soup. He wiped his mouth with his sleeves and said with certainty: "This must be a conspiracy."
The soup cooked by the lady’s own hands!”
Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xuan in confusion, wondering why he was so sure.
Liu Xuan bared his teeth at Yin Lihua and said, "I think only a peerless beauty like Miss Yin in the world can cook such a delicious plum soup!"
He felt that what he said was already very flattering, but to Yin Lihua's ears, the compliment was both false and completely frivolous.
Her little face immediately sank, she lowered her head, picked up the bowl, and drank the soup ladlefuls at a time, without any intention of answering the conversation.
His sweet words may be quite flattering and pleasing to girls from a small family background, but for Yin Lihua, who was born in a noble family, she only had one feeling towards Liu Xuan, that she was vulgar.
