Before Jushou could react, Liu Xin continued: "Yes, I really don't expect to use Kuai Xiu's ability to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but I also have no intention to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Gongyu, do you know why this mastermind is behind the scenes?"
Are you going to cause this? The root cause lies in the big thing you secretly planned!"
Jushu was shocked and hesitated: "My lord, my lord, you, you know everything?"
Liu Xin said coldly: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Liu didn't deliberately inquire and already knew what you were doing. If it was someone with ulterior motives, how could you hide it?"
Cold sweat broke out on Jushou's forehead. He cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my subordinates were also anxious, so they took this step. Now that my lord has become a popular figure, he should be a high-ranking official as soon as possible. But back then, my lord said that he wanted to unify the world.
Then appoint another Mingjun. The subordinates felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and were afraid that the lord would be trapped by those words back then, so they took this step. But the subordinates are all loyal..."
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "Liu has never doubted your loyalty. But there are many people who don't want Liu to sit in that position. Take this case as an example, there is a chance that they are also plotting with you.
The matter is related, the purpose of these people is not only to sow discord between Liu and the Kuai family, but to make you all feel in danger!"
Seeing that Liu Xin's tone of voice was very calm and there was no sign of getting angry, Jushou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat, and then said: "Fortunately, my lord saw through their plot in time and did not let them succeed.
"
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "Forget it, just do whatever you need to do, just pretend that I don't know anything."
Jushou cupped his hands and stepped back. He felt a chill on his back. When he touched it with his hand, he found that it was all wet. Only then did Jushou realize that he had already felt heavy when facing Liu Xin.
The pressure. Jushou did not feel worried or scared by his discovery, but was pleasantly surprised. This is the aura that a person who is about to ascend to power should have.
Liu Xin also walked out and came to a small courtyard where Ma Yun, Bian Yu and the others were temporarily staying. This time they moved to Chang'an and had no intention of staying in Xinye City, but because of Kuai Xiu's rape of a civilian girl, the trip was delayed.
After settling down, we had to temporarily find a few courtyards in the city to settle the family members.
After listening to Liu Xin's explanation of what happened, Ma Yun frowned and said, "Although your handling of this situation has solved the current crisis, it is not a long-term solution."
Liu Xin said: "I also know that this is inappropriate, but I have to take such an expedient measure when the overall situation is uncertain. Otherwise, once the hearts of the meritorious heroes are hurt, it will be difficult to recover."
Ma Yun shook her head and said: "Princes who break the law and the common people are equally guilty should not just become empty words. After the overall situation has been decided, we still need to declare the law as soon as possible. It is best to find an opportunity to stage a show to scare the monkeys."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Let's do it."
In the early morning of the next day, the large group of people continued to march towards Chang'an, and within a day, they arrived in Champion County. It was almost dusk, and the group stopped moving forward and set up camp outside the city. Liu Xin took the children to the county seat
At the Monument to the Heroes of the Military and Civilian Resistance Against the Enemy in Guangzhou County in the northwest, flowers were presented to the monument. These flowers were picked by Liu Yu and his brothers in the wild.
Liu Xin told the children the story of how the soldiers and civilians of Champion County worked together to fight against Dong Zhuo's army. It was a battle in which the few defeated the many and the weak defeated the strong. Although the soldiers and civilians of Champion County were at a disadvantage in terms of equipment and numbers,
However, with their tenacious fighting spirit, they fought desperately with Dong Zhuo's bandits. After suffering heavy casualties, they finally waited for the arrival of reinforcements. It was that battle that rectified the name of the local army and allowed them to win over others.
Since then, the local army has enjoyed the same treatment as the regular army. This treatment is not only reflected in equipment and food, but also in training and promotion opportunities.
The story is not long, but the children listened with gusto. Liu Xin also told the children through this story that war is cruel, and those who fall behind will be beaten. At the same time, he told the children that if you want to win the respect of others, you must rely on your own perseverance.
Work hard. The children are still young and may not understand these principles, but they all listened very carefully, except Liu Bang who was a little absent-minded.
Suddenly, several horses galloped over. The horses are prairie horses that can run long distances. The knight on the horse is wearing a red cloak and has two red pennants on his back. From a distance, it looks like a ball of fire. This is the symbol of the army.
Messengers. Only messengers in the military would rush through layers of defenses and go straight to Liu Xin in an emergency.
Liu Xin's heart trembled, she waved her hand and said: "Yu'er, take the brothers back to the tent, dad has something to do."
The oldest among these children was Liu Bang, but Liu Xin handed over the task to Liu Yu. Liu Bang was slightly disappointed after hearing this, but he still followed Liu Yu obediently and walked towards the tent. Liu Xin didn't do anything at all.
Noticing these details, he strode towards the messengers.
When several messengers saw Liu Xin, they immediately rolled off their saddles and dismounted. The leader knelt down on one knee, presented a letter with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, urgent military information!"
Liu Xin took the letter and was stunned. There was a red chicken feather stuck on the letter. It was a chicken feather letter, and it was the highest level. Looking at the cover of the letter, it was not used by the military.
The kind used by Phantom Secret Agent, and there are five stars painted on the cover. This is the latest formula developed by Jushou. The different number of stars indicates different reading permissions. It is the same as the red feather letter in the army.
Five Stars is also the highest level among Phantom Secret Agents. Information of this level can only be read directly by Liu Xin, not even Ju Shou.
The army and the phantom belong to two systems, and the information transmission channels are also different. Now, the phantom actually used the military post to transmit its message, and the army added red chicken feathers to the letter, which shows that the letter is
The content is extremely urgent and this has never happened before.
In fact, the two systems of the army and the phantom compete more than cooperate in the collection of intelligence. There is no way to do this. Liu Xin cannot let one family dominate and the colleagues are enemies. It can be seen from the envelope that this time
The information was obtained by Phantom. However, Liu Xin's family was in the process of moving from Xiangyang to Chang'an. It was not easy for the Phantom spy to see Liu Xin and Jushou through the army's escort, so he had to rely on the power of the army. But this happened
The content of the letter was closely related to the military, so the person in charge of the military post did not dare to neglect it and even added red chicken feathers on it.
Liu Xin hurriedly read the letter with an angry look on her face. The letter also turned into a pile of scraps of paper, like a group of butterflies flying into the air. Liu Xin shouted: "Ma Lai!"
Just now, Liu Xin took the children to pay homage to the heroes in front of the monument. This was a way for him to strengthen his relationship with the children. Now he wanted to rush back to the camp, but without his horse, he could only go to these military posts.
Asking for a mount.
The Liu Yu brothers usually imitated the drills of the guards and played. Now they lined up in a column and walked towards the tent, and they looked decent. Only the little fat Liu Bang fell behind. Liu Bang usually lacked exercise.
, he was exhausted after walking for a while when he came here, but Liu Xin was in front of him, so he didn't dare to complain. Now that he had to go back again, he was naturally not happy. He took three steps at a time and finally fell behind.
Seeing Liu Yu and the others getting further and further away from him, Liu Bang became anxious. He was not worried about any danger. The place was already controlled by the guards and soldiers of the First Army, so there was no problem with safety. He was worried that he would be late to go back.
Liu Xin scolded him for a while. Suddenly, Liu Bang heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from behind him.
Liu Bang turned around and saw Liu Xin riding a horse galloping towards him. He couldn't help but felt so happy that he shouted loudly: "Dad, give me a ride!"
The horse swept past him like the wind. Before he could close his mouth, he choked on a mouthful of dust. When he wiped his face, Liu Xin was nowhere to be seen.
After a while, a shrill horn sound came from the camp in the distance, three long and two short. This was the agreed emergency gathering signal. The soldiers and family members who had just settled down became busy again. When Liu Bang was out of breath
When they ran back to the camp, Liu Yu and the others had already sat on their respective carriages and were waving to him, shouting loudly: "Quick, quick, quick..."
In sharp contrast to Liu Bang's exhaustion, Liu Yu looked excited. He stood on the shaft of the carriage, holding the wooden knife he usually used for practice in his hand, and kept asking the guard driving: "Have you encountered an enemy attack?"
?Have you ever killed anyone? Can you lend me your knife when the time comes?"
There is no shortage of good knives in Liu Xin's family, but Liu Yu and the others are too young. Liu Xin cannot let them play with real swords and guns, so he can only prepare a wooden knife for each of them. Liu Yu obviously doesn't feel comfortable holding a wooden knife.
It was so satisfying that I actually missed the powerful sword on the waist of the guard driving the car.
The guard was very honest. He cupped his hand and said, "Second Young Master, we should not be attacked by the enemy. I often encounter this kind of emergency gathering during training. There is usually no reason, just for training."
The speed of reaction of the soldiers and the strictness of enforcing military discipline."
"It turns out it's just training." Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He sat down on the shaft of the car and said, "I'm exhausted. I thought I could show off my skills."
The guard smiled and said: "It's just that there are many family members in the team today, but the master has an emergency gathering, which is a bit abnormal. The villain is stupid, I really don't know what happened?"
Suddenly, there was another blast of horns in the camp. The guard listened attentively and said quickly: "Second Young Master, hurry back to the car and sit down. We are about to set off."
