Chapter 617: Severing Relations
"General!" Laniel, who was still very weak, raised her head in surprise, "Master, the slave is just a woman, how can she be a general?" ”
It's no wonder that Lanier was surprised, although she is a Huns, she also knows that the general of the Han people is high and powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is above ten thousand people under one person, how can such a general be held by a woman of different races?
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Don't worry, you, the general, don't need to command thousands of troops and horses, nor do you need to go into battle to kill the enemy, just stay by your wife's side." ”
Today's kidnapping incident reminded Liu Xin that it was necessary for him to build an elite team of bodyguards for his women.
Now, the safety of these women is the responsibility of the Flying Tiger guards. However, unlike other powerful people, Liu Xin does not want to keep his women in cages like canaries, and his women can come and go freely at home. Of course, there is no danger when the women are at home, but when they go out, the guards will only follow them from a distance, and if something happens, they will often not be able to rescue them.
Therefore, Liu Xin wants to train a group of personal female bodyguards. As a personal female bodyguard, in addition to being athletic and quick to react, you also need to have a beautiful appearance, and most importantly, you must be loyal, brave, and have the spirit of sacrifice to block the "gun" for your master or protect the target. These points are exactly what Lannier already has.
At this time, Minchan also smiled and said, "Nier, since the master said that you can do it, then you must be able to do it." Don't think too much about it now, the most important thing is to heal your injuries quickly. ”
Lanier had shed a lot of blood today, and after talking for a while, she was already a little sleepy, and her eyelids couldn't stop fighting, but Liu Xin and Minchan were here, and she really didn't dare to close her eyes. Liu Xin and Minchan glanced at each other, nodded in unison, and retreated from the room.
Coming to the courtyard, Minchan asked cautiously, "Master, what are you going to do with Beigong Yan?" ”
Although it was Ke Muji who tried to kidnap Minchan, if it weren't for Beigong Yan, Ke Muji would not have been able to enter this backyard at all, so in this matter, she couldn't escape the involvement, and now she has been controlled by the guards.
Liu Xin is definitely not a soft-hearted person, for Beigong Yan, he has the intention to punish her, but listening to Minchan's tone, it seems that he wants to intercede for her. Liu Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, let Beigong Yan take her back." ”
Minchan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "What about Beigong Qian?" ”
Liu Xin was silent for a long time before she said: "Whether to leave or stay is up to her." ”
Speaking of which, Beigong Qian can be regarded as Liu Xin's woman, but Liu Xin did not intend to force her to stay by her side. After all, she also belonged to one of the nobles of the Xianling tribe, and Liu Xin had just given the order to split the Xianling tribe.
At this time, a personal guard hurriedly walked over and said, "Lord Qiqi, a letter from Xiangyang." ”
"Oh." Liu Xin's heart sank and said, "Take it to me." ”
Looking at the time of payment, you can see that the letter was written three days ago. Although Liu Xin trained many carrier pigeons in Xiangyang, and the flying pigeon biography has been widely used in the army and secret spy system, it is not suitable for the Liangzhou area. Because in Liangzhou, the Western Regions and the grassland desert, birds of prey such as eagles, falcons, and eagles can often be seen hovering overhead. These birds of prey are the natural enemies of pigeons, and I am afraid that those carrier pigeons have not yet reached their destination, and they will become a delicious meal in their bellies. Therefore, this letter was sent in the most primitive way of meteor fast horses.
After reading this letter, Liu Xin smiled and said, "Liu Bei finally can't sit still. ”
On the day Liu Xin and his entourage left Xiangyang, Liu Bei hurriedly came to the Changle Marquis Mansion.
After Liu Bang came to Xiangyang, his small life became more and more comfortable day by day. Although he, the Marquis of Changle, had no fiefdom and no taxes, his monthly income was unusually rich, even exceeding his income when he lived in the nest.
Not only do you have more money in your pocket, but there are also many new and interesting things in Xiangyang City. What made him especially happy was that every once in a while he would be taken into the governor's mansion by his "mother" and enjoy a sumptuous meal of dishes that he had never tasted before. The only thing he regrets is that he can't eat such food every day like his "younger brothers and sisters". Although there are many luxury taverns in Xiangyang City, none of them can make those dishes in the governor's mansion.
There is another point that makes Liu Bang feel a little unhappy, although Xiangyang City is big, no one is willing to play with him. Although Liu Yu, Ma Fan, and Liu Pi are only a few years older than him, they usually need to go to the academy to study, and even if they don't need to study, they rarely go with him. After all, everyone else grew up together, not like he came in later.
Hearing that Liu Bei came to ask for a meeting, Liu Bang hurriedly greeted him and shouted affectionately: "Uncle, why are you here?" ”
For Liu Bei, Liu Bang felt a trace of closeness in his heart. When he was in Lujiang, if Liu Bei hadn't quietly taken him away, maybe he would have been shot into a hedgehog by random arrows. Since meeting Liu Xin, Liu Bang can be regarded as having found his "biological parents", but he always has a sense of strangeness, only when he sees Liu Bei, it is like seeing relatives. But after arriving in Xiangyang, although Liu Bei lived next door to him, he never left the house, and even Liu Bang took the initiative to visit, but Liu Bei avoided it. Now that he heard that Liu Bei was coming, Liu Bang's mood was simply so excited that he couldn't be more excited.
Liu Bei smiled, took Liu Bang's hand, and said, "Bang'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been doing at home recently?" ”
Liu Bang raised a small bamboo cage in his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, look, what a beautiful grasshopper, and it can sing." ”
Liu Bei took the cage of the gnat, looked at it twice, and said with a smile: "Bang'er, the plaything is demoralized, you will have to do something great in the future, but you can't be greedy for fun all day long." If you have time, you should read more books and learn a long way. ”
"Reading?" Liu Bang touched his head and sneered, "I'm too old to enter the academy, what else can I study?" ”
Xiangyang Academy has a rule that only children under the age of eight can be enrolled. Liu Bang was not a studious child, he was not old enough to study when he lived in the nest, and after he was moved to Lujiang, Yuan Shu would not arrange for someone to teach him to read. When he arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Bang was originally worried that his "parents" would force him to study, but how did he know that the academy still had this rule, which was in his arms, how could he take the initiative to study?
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. is not only in the academy, today I will teach you to read and write, and tomorrow I will invite a few gentlemen for you." ”
Liu Bang's mouth pursed up, but Liu Bei was the closest person to him, and he finally came to see him, and he couldn't brush Liu Bei's good intentions. Besides, he couldn't read a lot of words, and he couldn't make sense if he didn't learn it, so he had to nod and agree.
All morning, Liu Bei was teaching Liu Bang to read and write. In the afternoon, Liu Bei went to see Cai Yong again. Liu Bei asked to see Cai Yong, not to intercede for Liu Bang, so that Liu Bang could enter the academy to study, nor to borrow a few gentlemen from Cai Yong, but to ask to fulfill his duties. He was appointed by Liu Xin to engage in literature, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and should report to Cai Yong. Cai Yong is a real person, he didn't think much about it at all, and arranged a few subordinates for him. So in the next few days, Liu Bei was busy, going to Changle Hou's Mansion every morning to teach Liu Bang to read and write, and in the afternoon he began to contact idle writers from all over the world.
Since the Zhang Jiao Incident in the early years of Zhongping, the entire Han world has been turbulent, and only Jingzhou has gradually become a pure land. In order to escape the war, many literati in the north also moved their families south and scattered in the Jingxiang area. Among the people Liu Bei visited, there were not only stable scholars such as Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, and Pang Degong, but also rising stars such as You Heng, Xu Gan, and Wang Cang, all of whom were famous literati at that time.
Around Liu Bei and Liu Bang, there are eyes and ears arranged by Fu Zhi everywhere, so every word they say, everything they do, and even every little movement and every look they make when they speak are clearly recorded, or it will appear on Fu Zhu's desk in less than six hours. Now, these situations are in Liu Xin's hands again. Although he was sorted out by category, he still wrote more than ten pages, and it took a while for Liu Xin to read them all.
Closing the letter, Liu Xin closed his eyes and pondered, what does this Liu Bei want to do? Historically, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui and others have recommended many famous strategists to Liu Bei, such as Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong. But now, Liu Xin obviously doesn't have to worry too much.
Xu Shu is already working under him, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong should still be just teenagers. Besides, Huang Chengyan and Liu Xin can be regarded as quasi-in-laws now, and he will never elbow out. As for what other talents Sima Hui and Pang Degong have in their hands, Liu Xin doesn't have much impression, even if they do, they won't surpass Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
Another point, Liu Xin firmly believes that even if Huang Chengyan is still as optimistic about Liu Bei as in history, Liu Bei not only does not have a single soldier around him, but even Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun are gone, and it is difficult for him to succeed with a few hermits and scholars.
Liu Bei was personally appointed by him to engage in literature, and it was also his duty to deal with these literati. Could it be that Liu Bei changed his sex, gave up his dream of competing for the world, and devoted himself to literature? Liu Xin didn't believe that there must be some conspiracy here. Thinking of this, Liu Xin picked up a pen and paper and gave an order to Fu Zhi, so that Fu Zhu took a close look at Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui, and investigated who they usually interacted with, what they said, and what they did.
As soon as this reply letter was written, a personal guard came to report, saying that Beigong Boyu didn't recognize this daughter and wanted to cut off the father-daughter relationship with Beigong Yan!
