Li Tongye had already gotten up from the ground, and he saw Liu Xiu going back and forth in the crowd, and there were screams and curses around him from time to time, and he was dumbfounded for a while.

When he was at home, he thought that his martial arts were already very good, and it was common to defeat the doormen and guards at home.

But after coming out, when he really got into contact with others, he found out that his own doormen and nurses were bluffing and playing with themselves, and when people competed with him, they didn't use their real skills at all, and they were completely coaxing children.

Liu Xiu applied the skills taught to him by Long Yuan in actual combat, and the more he fought, the more handy he became, he saw the opportunity, his body flickered, flashed to the middle of the two big men, and the two hand knives slashed out, hitting the back of the heads of the two big men.

These two, without saying a word, rushed to the ground, lay on the ground, and fainted on the spot.

Liu Xiu's sudden attack made the remaining four big men startled at the same time, and at the moment when they were stunned, Liu Xiu knocked down another big man with one punch.

The remaining three grinned secretly, but they didn't expect that they would encounter a hard stubble today. One of the big men went around Liu Xiu's back and pounced on him, trying to hug Liu Xiu.

He pounced fast and retreated faster, but he was kicked back by Liu Xiu.

The big man rolled on the ground more than two meters away, lying on his back on the ground, his eyes were scattered, his face was dull, and he didn't seem to know what had just happened.

The remaining two big men had no intention of fighting, and the two pointed at Liu Xiu while retreating again and again, and shouted and scolded: "Boy, don't run away, wait for us to come back here!" ”

Liu Xiu snorted coldly and stepped forward, the two big men shrank their necks in fright, and they didn't dare to continue to talk ruthlessly, so they turned around and ran, really like lost dogs.

Of the seven big men, five fell and two ran, Liu Xiu looked around, clapped his hands, and turned his head to look at Long Yuan.

Long Yuan smiled and nodded deeply to Liu Xiu, his eyes full of appreciation.

The lord I recognize is really not simple, and in only two months, I have practiced the skills I have taught so skillfully and exquisitely, which is not only by talent, but also by perseverance and hard work.

Liu Xiu was in a better mood when he got Long Yuan's affirmation, he walked up to Li Tong and asked, "Brother Li is okay?" ”

Li Tong swallowed his saliva and looked at Liu Xiu again, the two of them were about the same age next year, but Liu Xiu was able to fight seven people alone, and finally won, but he couldn't even beat the other party.

While sighing in his heart, he bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Thank you Brother Liu for coming to the rescue, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have fallen here now, and I would have died!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Brother Li's move is very exquisite, but his strength is a little less, otherwise, one move is enough to make the other party fall to the ground, where can I make a move?!" ”

Hearing this, Li Tong's favorability towards Liu Xiu increased greatly. He raised his hand and took out the dragon coin in his waist, handed it to Liu Xiu, and said: "The grace of saving lives cannot be reciprocated, this thank you gift, I hope Brother Liu will accept it with a smile." ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, waved his hand to Li Tong with a smile, and said: "Brother Li is too polite, it's just a gesture, even if you still need a thank you, Brother Li take it back!" ”

"Brother Liu is too little?"

"Brother Li doesn't regard him as a friend?"

Li Tong blinked, paused for a moment, suddenly laughed, and said, "Brother Liu, this friend, I, Li Tong, have made a deal!" Under Li Tong Li Zhiyuan! ”

"Liu Xiu, Uncle Liu Wen!"

After this episode, the relationship between Liu Xiu and Li Tong was invisibly brought closer by a big step, and the three of them continued to walk towards the registration office while talking.

On the way, Li Tong asked Liu Xiu's family history again. After learning that Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu were from the Han family, Li Tong's mind suddenly moved, and his eyes looked at Liu Xiu a little more strangely.

Back at the registration office, Liu Xuan and the others were no longer there, and I inquired with the officials of the Yamen, only to learn that the eldest brother and others had gone to the barracks of the righteous army.

The three of them were about to go to the barracks, when suddenly someone shouted: "Dimension! As he spoke, a young man ran briskly.

Li Tong raised his eyes, smiled, and said, "Cousin! ”

When the young man came to them, Li Tong introduced: "Uncle Wen, this is my cousin, Li Yi and Li Jiwen!" ”

Then, he introduced to the young man: "This is Uncle Liu Xiu and Uncle Liu Wen, and this is Uncle Long Zhong, both of whom are friends I just met. ”

The young man named Li Yi glanced at Liu Xiu and Long Yuan, and after seeing what they were wearing, a look of disdain unconsciously flashed in his eyes.

He shook his hand casually, as if he had greeted Liu Xiu and Long Yuan, and then looked at Li Tong and asked dissatisfiedly: "Dimension, where have you gone, I have been looking for you for a long time!" ”

"I went to the casino just now to try my luck, and I was lucky, not only won a dragon coin, but also made two new friends."

Li Tong is a very optimistic person, and the distress just now has been completely forgotten. He said, "Cousin, do you know who Uncle Wen's eldest brother is? ”

"Who?" Li Yi asked subconsciously.

"Liu Xuan, Liu Bosheng!"

"Huh?" Li Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Liu Xiu and looked at him again.

At this time, there was no one in the rebel army who had not heard of Liu Jiu and Liu Bosheng's name.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, this time he arched his hands, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "It turned out to be Liu Xiu and Liu Gongzi, it was really disrespectful to be down there just now." ”

Liu Xiu returned the salute and said with a smile: "Brother Li is polite. ”

"Uncle Wen, I'll go and relieve myself first, you wait here for me for a while." Seeing Liu Xiu nodding, Li Tong said to Li Yi again: "Cousin, you take me to the toilet!" ”

Don't you know where the latrine is in the neighborhood? Li Yi muttered puzzled in his heart, but he was not stupid, and he quickly reacted, it must be his cousin who had something to say to him.

He nodded, pointed casually, and said, "The latrine is over there, let's go, I'll take you there." ”

Watching the two of them walk towards the latrine, Long Yuan came to Liu Xiu's side and reminded in a low voice: "Lord, this Li Yi is not as good as Li Tong." ”

When Li Yi didn't know that Liu Xiu was Liu Xiu's younger brother, he just glanced at their clothes, and then casually arched his hand, which was considered a courtesy.

And after learning that Liu Xiu was Liu Xiu's younger brother, his attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, and he bowed to the ground solemnly.

Liu Xiu also felt that Li Yi's temperament was not as good as Li Tongshi, but after all, everyone was just meeting in Pingshui, if it was really temperamental, it would be a big deal to be a nodding friend.

He smiled indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter. ”

Let's talk about Li Tong and Li Yi, the two walked quickly to the toilet, and seeing that there was no one left and right, Li Tong pulled Li Yi's sleeve, let him come close to him, and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, do you remember why my father resigned back then?" ”

Li Yi's face changed, and he subconsciously looked left and right, and then said word by word: "Liu's revival, Li's supplement!" ”

Li Tong answered: "Liu Xiu and Liu Xuan are the queen of the Han family. ”

Li Yi gasped.

Li Tong's father, Li Shou, was a master of metaphysics, and he got this sentence from the diagram: Liu's revival is supplemented by Li's.

Proverbs were very popular in the Western Han Dynasty and Wang Mang periods, and the so-called prophecy is the meaning of prophecy.

Wang Mang was very superstitious about proverbs, and during Wang Mang's reign, the study of proverbs has become the most popular academic literature in the country, and there is even a special discipline, prophecy.

Li Shou is a fanatic of prophecy, after seeing the proverb 'Liu's revival, Li is supplemented', he should resign from his official position, return to his hometown, accumulate money, hoard food, recruit talents, and make sufficient preparations to assist Liu's anti-Wang Mang.

However, in the two hundred years of the Western Han Dynasty, as the descendants of the Liu family, who are members of the royal family, there are countless of them, and they are all over the place.

The birth of Liu Xuan made Li Tong keenly aware that the Liu family to assist the Li family was likely to be Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu.

Li Yi asked: "Dimension, do you think that the Liu family of the revival of the Liu family refers to the Liu ......?"

"Cousin!" Li Tong interrupted Li Yi's words, and two people happened to come out of the toilet in front of him. After the two passed, Li Tong nodded to Li Yi and said tacitly: "I think nine times out of ten." ”

Li Yi didn't ask any more, although he also believed in the proverb 'Liu's revival, supplemented by Li', but whether the Liu family in the proverb refers to Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu's lineage, he is not good at making a judgment now, and needs to be carefully observed.

After relieving their hands, Li Tong and Li Yi came back to join Liu Xiu, and then the four of them went to the camp of the righteous army together.

The camp of the rebels was set up outside the city, a large camp. There are more than 10,000 rebels recruited in Xiangyang, which is a relatively large rebel army.

As soon as Liu Xiu and his entourage walked to the door of the camp, they saw Zhu Yun striding out of the barracks, and when Liu Xiu approached, Zhu Yun asked, "Ah Xiu, where have you been?" Your big brother is looking for you! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yun turned his gaze, looked at Li Tong and Li Yi, and asked, "Who are these two?" ”

"Under Li Tong!"

"Under Li Yi!"

Li Tong and Li Yi bowed to Zhu Yun. Zhu Yun returned the salute and said, "My name is Zhu Yun!" As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu puzzled.

Liu Xiu explained: "These two Li brothers are both from Nanyang County, and they are fellow villagers with us. ”

Nanyang County, this is a key word, there will be two major factions under Liu Xiu in the future, and the Nanyang system is one of them.

Zhu Yun smiled, among the Xiangyang Righteous Army, there were more villagers in Nanyang County.

He shook his head and said, "Come with me!" Zhu Yun took Liu Xiu and others into the barracks, because the camp had just been built, it was a mess everywhere.

After all, the rebel army is not a regular army, and it will not be encamped, and it is basically busy and disorganized.

Zhu Yun led Liu Xiu and the others to a big tent. It is said to be a big tent, that is, it is slightly larger than an ordinary tent. There were a lot of people gathered inside, and it was Liu Jiu who sat in the center.

Seeing that his little brother had finally come back, Liu Xiu was relieved, of course, he also noticed that there were two strangers who had not seen him who came in with Liu Xiu.

He didn't ask questions immediately, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone has arrived, there are two things, I will announce them." First, I have asked the county governor, Lord Peng, for some equipment and food. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhang Ping and said, "Jingzhi, you are in charge of the weapons and food, and you are responsible for distributing them to everyone. ”
