While Liu Xin was dealing with Zhu Rong, he paid attention to Meng Huo's movements. When Meng Huo picked up the axe, he was already secretly on guard and had four flying knives in his hand. If Dian Wei hadn't arrived in time, he would have shot Meng Huo's
If the ax flies away, then Liu Xin's flying knife will definitely make Meng Huo a useless person. Because no matter how much Liu Xin takes care of Zhu Ding, Meng Dan will not make fun of his own life. When it comes to weapons, let alone Meng Huo, he is Jingzhou.
Liu Xin was no match for an ordinary general in the army, but others didn't know it. Therefore, in order to save his life, Liu Xin would definitely strike first when Meng Huo approached, either by taking his life or by incapacitating him.
God is not as good as man. Although Dian Wei knocked Meng Huo's ax away, the ax circled in the sky and still hit Liu Xin and Zhu Rong. Fortunately, Liu Xin reacted quickly and pulled Zhu Rong back three steps in order to prevent
Wan Yi also shot two flying knives, blocking the ax's fall and changing its direction.
Despite this, Liu Xin still broke out in a cold sweat. Zhu Rong, on the other hand, was so frightened that he didn't know what to do just now, but now he hurriedly ran over and picked up the flying knife.
Liu Xin stretched out her hand and said, "This is my flying knife, give it back to me."
Zhu Rong hid his hand behind his back and said, "The flying knife belongs to me. You still have to teach me how to use it."
Liu Xin couldn't help but have a head as big as a bucket. These flying knives were made of special materials. He originally had thirty-six of them, but gave twelve to Ma Yun for self-defense. He always carried the others with him. Although he had used them a few times, he never parted with them.
I lost one, so I thought about it and said, "This kind of flying knife requires some strength to use. Is it suitable for you to use? In this case, you can return the throwing knife to me first, and then I will draw you a picture of another kind of flying knife. You can
Make it according to the pattern, that kind of flying knife is suitable for you."
Zhu Rong immediately beamed and said, "Well, when your drawing is finished, you can exchange it with me."
Now, the three patriarchs, Fengyuan, Zhu Ding, and Meng Dan, all regard Liu Xin as their honored guest, and among the younger generations of the three families, Zhu Ying and Meng Huo, who had conflicts with Liu Xin, have been imprisoned. As a result,
, Liu Xin’s safety is no problem, but her identity has been completely exposed.
Yizhou Mu Liu Yan came to Chengdu with the spirit of a king. After he took office, like Liu Xin, he took a series of measures to control the power of each county in his own hands. He was the first to win.
The first is the five counties in Nanzhong. The county officials here are all Han people, but the local people are mainly barbarians. Therefore, the original governor had no local foundation and was replaced by Liu Yan almost effortlessly.
For example, the current prefect of Jianning, Yong Kai, the prefect of Zangke, Zhu Bao, and the prefect of Yuexi, Gao Ding, are all Liu Yan's confidants.
For such a major event as the alliance of three surnames, the prefect Zhu Bao naturally sent an informant to monitor it, so he knew that the people of Jingzhou, Liu Xin, had arrived to bring the cave. Zhu Bao did not dare to act alone on such news, so he sent people to continue to keep an eye on it.
Liu Xin rushed to Chengdu overnight to report the news to Liu Yan.
After Liu Yan arrived in Chengdu, he promoted many young civil and military personnel from the bottom, such as Zhu Bao, Gao Ding, Zhang Ren, Zhang Song, and Wu Yi. They were all very young and promising figures. After receiving Zhu Bao's secret report, Liu Yan hesitated.
Now that Yizhou has been cut off from the imperial court, it has become Liu Yan's independent kingdom.
Those who were able to sit in the hall and hear Zhu Bao's secret report were all Liu Yan's cronies, and they were also aware of Liu Yan's plans. Zhang Song saw Liu Yan silent at the side, and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, this is a great idea."
If we can seize the opportunity to detain Liu Xin, Jingzhou will have it at our fingertips."
Similarly, because the road was blocked, Liu Yan did not know the news that the emperor had passed away. Of course, the reason why Ma Yun and others knew so quickly was because there were informants left by the phantom secret agent in the capital and the imperial edict.
It has not yet been distributed to all places. Since the emperor is still alive, Liu Yan does not dare to act rashly. Although Liu Xin entered Yizhou to evacuate his duties, he is not someone he can accuse.
Liu Yan thought about it, but still couldn't make up his mind, so he said to Zhu Bao: "Go back and keep an eye on him. As long as he doesn't do anything excessive, let him go. Liu Xin and I are both Han clan clansmen, and we are
We are all princes of the same party, and I can't bear to suddenly plot against him."
After exiting the hall, Zhang Song stopped Zhu Bao and said: "This opportunity must not be missed, it will never come again. Liu Xin went deep into the territory of Zangke. He is seeking his own death. Since the lord cannot bear to detain him, then..."
After saying that, Zhang Song made a cutting gesture, and Zhu Bao nodded knowingly.
Zhang Song added: "Liu Xin's participation in the Three Surnames Alliance shows that he has good relations with the barbarians. The barbarians are fierce and aggressive and cannot be defeated. It is best to outmaneuver him. You can set an ambush for him on his way back. I
Zhang Ren will also be notified to take the opportunity to attack Nanjun. At the same time, the news of Liu Xin's death will be spread, which will demoralize his army and take advantage of the opportunity to capture Xiangyang. Jingzhou is extremely wealthy, and the lord wants to take over the world. From now on, he will have no worries about money and food!"
Zhu Bao was overjoyed and said: "Mr. Zi Qiao has left no stone unturned. One day, my lord will be promoted to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and you should be credited with the first achievement!"
Liu Xin didn't know that someone had been secretly watching him. He was worried about how to get rid of Zhu Rong. As a last resort, he had been accompanied by Ling'er sisters for the past two days and made many intimate moves in public.
Zhu Rong was always alienated by Liu Xin and felt depressed. He pulled Feng Yingying and asked: "Who are the two maids next to him? How could he like such people?"
Feng Yingying had never seen the true faces of the Ling'er sisters, and she said with a blank look on her face: "They still sleep together every night. You said these two women have cheeks and figures, especially those waists.
It's almost as thick from top to bottom, like a barrel. Why do adults have such weird tastes?"
An idea flashed in Zhu Rong's mind and he said, "Does he like fatter people? No, I have to eat more. I want to be fatter than them."
After two days, the alliance of the three surnames finally came to an end. Liu Xin and Fengyuan bid farewell to Zhu Ding and Meng Dan and embarked on their return journey. Liu Xin still gained something from this trip to Zangke. He had already communicated with Zhu Ding and Meng Dan.
The families reached an agreement, and the barbarians from these two families could enjoy the same treatment as the Feng family when they entered Jingzhou for business or work. The policy of treating all the Han and barbarians equally was also effective for them.
For the Zhu and Meng families, this is naturally a good thing. They produce a large amount of gold, silver, copper, iron, spices, and furs. In the past, they could only be sold to the local Han people at low prices. If they were shipped to Jingzhou, then
It can definitely be sold at a good price.
From Liu Xin's point of view, he can get a lot of urgently needed supplies. More importantly, the road from Guiyang to Zangke is bumpy and full of thorns. Liu Xin remembers a saying, there is no road in the world, but there are too many people walking on it.
, turned into a road. If the Zhu and Meng families wanted to transport goods to Jingzhou, they naturally had to open up a road, and this road would also become a passage for his army to enter Sichuan in the future.
Therefore, such a result is a happy one for everyone.
Because he was delayed for an extra day in Zoke County, it was already the tenth day of April when Liu Xin left. On the same day, Ma Yun of Xiangyang received the imperial edict, Liu Hong was posthumously named Ling Emperor, and Liu Bian ascended the throne. Table above
The matter of paying homage to the new emperor was naturally handled by Jusao, so Ma Yun didn't have to worry about it. However, she still held a copy of Liu Hong's edict in her hand, which made her even more angry at Liu Xin's hasty entry into Sichuan.
Before Liu Hong died, he looked at his two sons with reluctance. In his heart, Liu Xie was his favorite, but because General He Jin had a lot of troops, he did not dare to abolish the elders and establish younger ones. Liu Hong was even more worried about his death.
, Queen He would take the opportunity to harm Liu Xie. Somehow, he thought of Liu Xin. He had always believed that Liu Xin was the most loyal to him among the officials.
So Liu Hong dictated an edict, asking Liu Xin to protect his son with all his heart. Only Queen He's brother and sister were present at the time. Liu Hong did not dare to tell Liu Xin to protect Liu Xie, so he could only be vague. Who knows, He Jin drafted it on his behalf
When I changed it slightly, it became Liu Xin to assist the new emperor Liu Bian with all his heart.
After learning about the imperial edict, Ju Shou and Tian Feng felt a little disheartened. It turned out that the hint given by the golden armored god to Liu Xin was not to ask him to rule the world, but to ask him to assist the new emperor. This gap was really too big. They
The two of them couldn't accept it for a while.
Of course Ma Yun knew that Liu Bian might not live until the end of the year, but she couldn't tell her. Moreover, the edict was handed down by Ju Shu, so Liu Xin's absence in Xiangyang could not be concealed, and she didn't know when he would be able to
When you come back, if the news spreads and falls into the ears of someone who is interested, it is not impossible to take the opportunity to launch an attack. You can tell Ma Yun how to not get angry in a hurry. On the fourth day of April, Ma Yun sent the first group of messengers with Liu Hong's last edict.
, she had no choice but to send out a second batch of fast horses.
Liu Xin was on his way back, and he was very anxious in his heart. However, he could not leave Fengyuan's team to act alone on Man's territory. Fortunately, when he came, many thorns on both sides of the road had been cleared away, and it was not like
It was so difficult to walk when we came here, so I guess it would only take half a month to reach Guiyang.
He was wearing the attire of a barbarian man and was walking and chatting with Fengyuan. On the night after the game, his white robe was inexplicably splashed with a bowl of soup by a barbarian girl. Zhu Rong volunteered to take it and help him.
I washed it. When it came back, it was a lot too short. The original one was said to be torn by rubbing it accidentally. Liu Xin was tall, so naturally she couldn't wear the dress because it was too short. She couldn't find a suitable one for a while, so she had to change into it.
The attire of a barbarian man. Not only that, when Liu Xin drew the pattern and sent it over, Zhu Rong spread his hands and lost the two flying knives. Looking at her innocent face, Liu Xin could only pinch her nose.
, just think she was careless.
The team was loaded with goods when they went there, but when they came back they didn't lighten up much. Dozens of carts were still fully loaded. Since they couldn't get up quickly, Liu Xin simply dismounted and walked slowly with the team, which was fine.
Leisurely and comfortable.
The team had been walking on the mountain road for seven days, and they were nearly halfway there. The guards leading the way suddenly found a man on the roadside covered in blood and dying.
