Five hundred and sixtieth chapters enter the plain
Early the next morning, Liu Xiu and others continued on the road. As before, Fu An walked in front and Liu Xiu and others walked behind. The two sides still walked separately, as if no one knew each other.
There were no more accidents during the rest of the journey. Everyone left Wei County, entered Qinghe County, and arrived at the county of Qinghe County smoothly.
The county is located in the east of Qinghe County, on the edge of the Yellow River. On the opposite bank is Pingyuan City, the county seat of Pingyuan County.
When they arrived at the county, Liu Xiu and others found an inn to stay. That night, Fu An came over, and several people from Anmen came with him.
These people all followed Fu An to break out when Anmen was attacked. In order to get rid of the enemy's pursuit, they did not go together, but acted separately. They just agreed in advance to meet here in the county.
They already knew Liu Xiu's identity through Fu An. After seeing Liu Xiu, they all knelt down respectfully, kowtowed and saluted, and said in unison: "The common people pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Liu Xiu waved his hands to them. After everyone stood up, Fu An introduced Liu Xiu again. Then, everyone took their seats, and Fu An took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, early tomorrow morning, we plan to cross the river to Pingyuan City."
"Mr. Fu, what are your plans after arriving in Pingyuan City?"
Fu An looked at the subordinates next to him and said: "The hatred of destroying the family is irreconcilable. I am waiting to return to Pingyuan City to see my elder brother this time just to entrust some funeral arrangements. We will go to Suiyang later."
He didn't make his words clear, but his meaning was already clear. They would eventually go to Suiyang to seek revenge against Liu Yong.
Liu Xiu frowned and murmured: "Mr. Fu's doing this is tantamount to striking an egg against a stone."
Liu Yong has conquered so many Jianghu sects, and there must be a lot of masters to protect him. If only a few people like Fu An go to Suiyang, they may not even be able to see Liu Yong's face, but they will be killed by Liu Yong's men first.
People took care of it.
Of course Fu An knew how difficult it would be for them to seek revenge against Liu Yong. It could be said that this was an impossible task, but so many brothers were killed. If he was good at everything, he would live in pain and self-indulgence for the rest of his life.
In the midst of the blame, he said quietly: "Your Majesty, in this life, I don't ask for a long life, but I ask for peace of mind and a clear conscience."
Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Fu, are you willing to go to Luoyang to serve as an official?"
Fu An and others were startled and looked at Liu Xiu in surprise. Liu Xiu continued: "Mr. Fu wants to find Liu Yong to avenge the destruction of the An clan, and it is impossible for Liu Yong and I to live side by side. It can be said that
Liu Yong is our common enemy! Instead of rushing to Suiyang and risking his life in vain, Mr. Fu, it is better to stay in Luoyang and help me."
Liu Xiu's words made everyone in Anmen's eyes light up, and their eyes all fell on Fu An.
Fu An lowered his head and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he murmured: "An is just a member of the world."
"No matter whether you are born in the wilderness or in the world, as long as you can do something for the country, you will be a pillar of the country. I hope Mr. Fu will consider it carefully." Liu Xiu said calmly.
At this time, he extended an olive branch to Fu An. Firstly, he really admired Fu An's ability and character. Secondly, he also considered that Fu An was Fu Zhan's younger brother. If he could take Fu An under his command first,
Then it will become much easier to persuade Fu Zhan to go to Luoyang.
As the master of a sect, Fu An can also understand Liu Xiu's thoughts, but as Liu Xiu said, it is really difficult to kill Liu Yong with just a few of them, like climbing to the sky and relying on Liu Xiu.
It is indeed easier to seek revenge.
After much thought, Fu An stood up, left his seat, knelt down, kowtowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "Thanks to your Majesty's regard, I am willing to do my best to assist your Majesty and achieve great things!"
Seeing this, several other Anmen disciples also hurriedly stood up and knelt down and kowtowed behind Yu Fuan.
Liu Xiu was overjoyed, stepped forward, pulled Fu An up from the ground, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Fu is willing to come to Luoyang, it is really a blessing for this man!"
Fu An's surrender brought a big step closer to the relationship between the two parties. Then, everyone discussed going to Pingyuan City to meet Fu Zhan.
There is no peace in Pingyuan City now. Liu Yongan has deployed many informants and subordinates. In addition, the officials in the county do not know how many people have been secretly bribed by Liu Yong.
Although Fu Zhan is still the governor of Pingyuan, there are still dangers in Pingyuan City.
When Liu Xiu wanted to enter Pingyuan City, he could not bring his female relatives with him. It was too dangerous, so Yin Lihua, Xu Xiling, and Hua Feiyan had to stay in the county, and Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei also had to stay to protect them.
The only people who can really follow Liu Xiu to Pingyuan City are Li Tong, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo.
Of course, there are advantages to having fewer people. At least the target is small and not easily noticed by Liu Yong's people.
As for Fu An and his men, they still had to leave separately from Liu Xiu and others. They entered Pingyuan City first, so that they could first explore the situation in the city, and second, they could test Fu Zhan's tone first.
That night, Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua were in the room. He told Yin Lihua about tomorrow's arrangements. Yin Lihua was very nervous after hearing this and asked: "Axiu, is Pingyuan City very dangerous now?"
Liu Xiu said: "Qingzhou is under Liu Yong's control after all. There is definitely danger, but Lihua doesn't have to worry too much."
He spoke lightly, but Yin Lihua knew in her heart that if there was no danger in this trip, Axiu would never leave herself in the county. She asked in a low voice: "Can't I go to Pingyuan City with Axiu?"
Liu Xiu smiled, hugged her shoulders gently, and said with a smile: "Madam is so beautiful. When we arrive in Pingyuan City, the people in the city will be shocked when they see Madam. Then, we want to hide it from Liu Xiu."
Yong’s eyeliner is too difficult.”
When Yin Lihua heard this, she couldn't help being amused. She rolled her eyes at Liu Xiu angrily and said, "It's already this time, Axiu is still in the mood to joke?"
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "I'm not joking, Madam is known as the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Yin Lihua was about to speak, but Liu Xiu picked her up by the waist, causing Yin Lihua to exclaim.
He held her in his arms, walked to the bed, and gently placed her on the bed. Then, he lay down next to her, and naturally touched Yin Lihua's waist with his hands, and said with a smile: "Finally, no one will disturb us tonight.
Already..."
The next day, Fu An and others were the first to leave. At noon, Liu Xiu, Li Tong, Long Yuan and others left the inn and headed for the county ferry.
The county ferry has always been very busy. Even when Hebei was at its worst, boats here were constantly plying the river. But in the past, there were more boats from the plains to the Qinghe River.
Under the governance of Fu Zhan, there has been no war in Pingyuan County, and there have been no uprisings in the territory. The grain harvest is abundant and all industries are prosperous. Many businessmen in Pingyuan County bring grain, cloth and other daily necessities to Hebei for sale.
Now that Liu Xiu has proclaimed himself emperor in Hebei, the rebel armies all over the country have been greatly controlled. Farming and various industries in Hebei have also been rapidly restored. Businessmen from Hebei have begun to sell goods from Hebei to Qingzhou.
Liu Xiu, Li Tong and others disguised themselves as merchants, found a boat at the ferry, and headed to the other side.
The trade on both sides of the Yellow River has always been prosperous. Many towns in Qinghe County and Pingyuan County are located on the banks of the Yellow River, and Pingyuan City is just one of them.
Liu Xiu and others took a boat to cross the Yellow River. As soon as they arrived at the ferry on the other side, a young man in Tsing Yi came over and asked with a smile on his face: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Jin?"
Li Tong, Long Yuan and others frowned secretly and looked at the boy up and down. Liu Xiu said: "I am!"
The young man in green clothes came forward and whispered: "The master arranged for the young man to wait here for the young master." As he spoke, he took out a coin from his arms and handed it to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu took the coin and took a closer look. It had the word "Fu" engraved on it. This coin was the token he had agreed with Fu An last night.
After looking at it, Liu Xiu put the coins in his arms, then smiled at the boy and said, "Please, please take me to the city!"
"You're welcome, young master. I've already arranged a carriage." The boy in Tsing Yi led Liu Xiu and his party out of the ferry. Outside the ferry, there was a carriage and several horses parked.
Although An Men is not in Pingyuan City, Fu An has many of his cronies in Pingyuan City, so it is not difficult for him to arrange these things.
Liu Xiu and Li Tong got into the carriage. Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo rode on horseback, while the boy in Tsing Yi served as Liu Xiu's driver.
Even before entering the city walls of Pingyuan City, you can already feel the prosperity of Pingyuan City. The city outside its city walls is more lively than the urban areas inside many cities in Hebei. It is full of traffic and pedestrians are constantly going back and forth. It looks like a peaceful and prosperous age.
Scenes.
Liu Xiu and Li Tong, who were sitting in the carriage, both raised the curtains and looked out of the carriage. Seeing this scene, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "It is really a blessing for the people of this county to have a prefect like Fu Zhan.
ah!"
Putting aside Fu Zhan's illustrious background, his fame and influence, his ability to govern the place alone is enough to make people admire him.
Liu Xiu nodded. The prosperity of Pingyuan City can be compared with Luoyang. Except for its smaller scale, in terms of liveliness, it is not inferior to Luoyang at all.
He murmured: "It would be a great loss if such a talented person cannot be included in the imperial court!"
While he was talking, the carriage had passed through the city gate and entered the city. The outer city of Pingyuan City was already very lively, and the inner city was even more lively. There were many shops on both sides of the road, and the prosperity of commerce was simply astonishing at the time.
The boy in Tsing Yi drove the carriage to a larger inn and stopped. He turned around and said to Liu Xiu in the carriage: "Sir, we are here!" wavv
He had booked a room in the inn in advance, so Liu Xiu and others could check in directly without any further hassle.
After Liu Xiu and others were settled, the young man in Tsing Yi said: "Young master, you can rest peacefully at the inn. If there is any news from the owner, I will come and inform you."
"Sorry, brother!" Liu Xiu said with a smile.
"Oh, Master, you are so polite." The young man in green clothes said flattered.
This young man in green clothes was indeed Fu An's confidant, but Fu An did not tell him Liu Xiu's true identity. Otherwise, he would not only be flattered by Liu Xiu's peaceful and polite attitude.
Speaking of Fu An, he is now in Fu Zhan's house. After the two brothers met, Fu An did not immediately tell Fu An that Liu Xiu had arrived in Pingyuan City. Instead, he told Fu Zhan how Anmen was destroyed.
Read it again.
The Fu family can be said to be a well-established and scholarly family. In today's world, anyone who studies "Shang Shu" is the disciple and grandson of the Fu family. Fu Zhan himself is also a master of "Shang Shu". He teaches courses and has disciples all over the world.
The world.
But the Fu family had an outlier like Fu An. Not only did he abandon literature and join the martial arts, he also wandered around the world and founded the Jianghu sect Anmen. In Fu Zhan's eyes, his younger brother was very incompetent.
Now that he heard that the Anmen was destroyed, Fu Zhan was not angry, but he was a little happy in his heart. He said: "Since your Anmen has been destroyed, from now on, you should calm down and study hard at home.
